"The Moses Lake City Council will be voting on the proposal to develop the
area known as Montlake #3,at the Council meeting planned for Tuesday,August
24,8:00 PM, at City Hall.
Over the past several months, concerns expressed by citizens of Montlake both
orally and in writing apparently have not been heard by the City Planning
Commission, and this City Council meeting on Tuesday night will be the last
chance to express ones views.Prime concerns expressed in the past over the
development issue include:
1.No paving of streets or sidewalks is planned,and this is both dangerous,
out of date developing,and creates a very serious dust problem.
2.This proposed development will utilize prize view lots in the area with no
plans for development of the fringe area.This may very well mean the full
potential of the area may never be realized.
3.There appears to be currently,and there may continue to be a problem with
construction debris,and this is unsightly as well as hazardous.
4.The developer appears to have no set timetable in connection with this
development,and at the current pace of construction,the area could be
in a state of disruption,under current conditions,for many months.
5.Attempts to meet with the developer and/or his representative have proved
fruitless,in genuine attempts to resolve the issues at hand.
6.A petition bearing 107 signatures of residents of the Montlake area,asking
for paved streets,cleanliness by the contractor and control of dust and
debris apparently has had little impact upon the City Planning Commission.
7.A request by the Montlake Homeowners Association for an Environmental Impact
Statement covering this development has been refused by the City Planning
Commission.
2419
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES:Page 6 August 24,1976

ignored.
This is our last chance!Express your views at the Council Meeting Tuesday,
8:00 PM.The Montlake Homeowners Association:
He stated that the developer had revised the first plat to include an access road
to Division Street but still has no plans to pave the streets which he felt should
be required.
Jack Black,210 Linden Avenue,stated that Mr,Bragg was presenting the decision
of the Montlake Homeowners and was not speaking just for himself.
Mr.Skaug asked about the request for an Environmental Impact Statement.Mr.Acres
stated that the Planning Commission had stated that an Environmental Impact Statement
was not required but he felt the Council could decide if one was required and set
next week for the Public Hearing to determine if one was needed.He stated that
since the existing ordinances only require grading and graveling of streets,that
is all that can be required.If the Environmental Impact Statement recommends the
paving of the streets,then the streets would be required to be paved.
Mr.Skaug asked if the Council was obligated by statute to honor a request for an
Impact Statement.Mr.Acres stated that the Council was not but he felt the home
owners were asking the Council to decide if this development would have an adverse
effect on the area and if so,then the Council could require an Environmental Impact
Statement.
Mr.Barney asked if the Environmental Impact Statement did not show a need for
paved streets,what would the reaction of the homeowners be.Mr.Bragg stated
the homeowners were confident that an Impact Statement would show the need for
paved streets due to the dust problem,but that if a suitable compromise could
be worked out an Environmental Impact Statement would not be required.
Mr,Jones wanted to know the time period involved on an Impact Statement.Mr.
Bech stated that there is a six month preparation period and then the Council has
30 days for review and distribution.
Mr. Stewart stated that it is his intention to follow the rules that the City has
set up.He stated that there was no requirement for an Environmental Impact Statement
and he felt he should not be required to go beyond city ordinances.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES:Page 7 August 24,1976

been given permission to hook up to the sewer system at a later date.In practice,
the connection is almost never made.He suggested that a legal document of some
type be drawn up and filed with the property so that in the future,when the sewer
is extended to the property,it will be hooked up.
