Public Works Director,Garth Anderson,felt the above protests were an .
accurate account of property owners'feelings,even though it was possible
to have the sidewalk portion of the project deleted in Units #1 and #2.M
Garth stated Unit #4 was approximately a $30,000 project and that it
would be worthwhile to go ahead and call for bids on just this unit,
although there would be less competition and possibly a little higher
cost.'However,if the cost were above 10%of the estimate,the project
would be forced to be dropped.
Motion by Krueger,seconded by Ebbert,that an ordinance be drafted
on proceeding with Unit #4 for reading at next Council meeting.Motion
carried.
The other units failed,although considered,because of the large percentage
of protests that were received.
SAFE AND SANE FIREWORKS
Mr.Skaug moved that the item on Safe and Sane Fireworks be taken from
the table and the the City abide by present ordinances as written.Seconded
by Mr.Stadshaug.Motion carried.
RETAIL TRADES -REQUEST TO GLOSE STREET
A letter from Larry Jobin,Chairman,Special Promotions,Moses Lake
Chamber of Commerce was read.He;:stated the Retail Trades Committee
wished to conduct a "Moses Lake Side-Walk Sales Day"on July 19,
1963 between the hours of 9:30 A.M.and 8:30 P.M.The committee requested
permission to block off Third Avenue from Alder Street to Ash street during
these hours.
Mr.Jobin appeared before the Council and explained the purpose for this
request.It was felt it would promote additional business during the "Crazy
Days"Sales.Fire Chief,Chet Roily,felt no fire hazard would be caused
as access could be had through the alley.However,Mr. Jobin was to work
with the Fire Department.

mittee be authorized to block off Third Avenue from Alder Street to

SAVEKO DRUG -APPEAL RE:TEMPORARY BUILDING
A letter was read from Jim Wright,Building and Planning Director,stating
that on March 18,1963,a request was made by Saveko Drug to erect a
sales tent on their property next to Jack's Bargain Barn.The construction
of this type of facility in a Fire Zone #1 does not conform to the City
Building Code.It was Jim's opinion that use of the tent for a period
exceeding thirty days would normally not be considered a temporary
structure and would not comply with the Building Code.
Mr.Jack Newton appeared before the Council and explained that this tent
was 100'from any building,had open sides,and would contain plants,etc.
with running water at all times.He could see no fire hazard and wished to
be allowed to have this tent in use for a 90-day period during the spring and
early summer of each year.
Fire Chief Roily explained the difference in the Building and Fire Codes and
that the enforcement of fire regulations and standards would be done by the
Fire Department,although the Uniform Building Code outlines these standards.
Jim Wright stated that our allowing this temporary building for any period of
time might cause a lower rating by the Rating Bureau.
Motion by Hilderbrand,seconded by Skaug,that this request be tabled until
next Council meeting and that Jim Wright write to the Rating Bureau in
regard to their opinion on what this could do to any future ratings if we
allowed this type of temporary building in this location.Motion carried.
PARKING STUDIES -RECOMMENDATIONS FROM PLANNING COMMISSION
Letter read from Jim Wright,Building and Planning Director,stating the
Planning Commission had completed ;their study of the parking problems
in residential zones and recommended the following:
1.Amend the Zoning Ordinance by permitting parking and storage
of boats,camping trailers not exceeding 2 0 feet in length,
camper trucks and other recreational equipment inrear yards
and front yards.Parking in side yards may be permitted by
agreement with the adjoining neighbor.
2 .Amend the Zoning Ordinance to permit one off-street parking space
in front yards for single-family dwellings for automobiles and
trucks not exceeding one-ton capacity.Large trucks exceeding one-
ton,heavy commercial,industrial,and agricultural equipment
and machinery would be prohibited from being parked or stored
in R-l,R-2 ,and R-3 zones.It would be permitted in the Rl-S
suburban zones.
787
MARCH 26,1963 Continued
Councilman Ebbert questioned whether this was fiar to the small-equipment
operators,not large enough to establish buildings outside the city and
who have been in business for many years.City Manager,Chet Waggener,
stated that we prohibited commercial buildings in residential zones and
this was somewhat the same.Jim Wright stated that our residential zones
would become testing grounds causing mixed uses.
Motion by Hilderbrand,seconded by Skaug,that Planning Commission's
recommendations,numbered 1 and 2,be drafted in ordinance form for read
ing at next Council meeting.Mr.Ebbert added the amendment that six
months'notice be allowed those having existing businesses.The motion
carried.
Motion by Hilderbrand,seconded by Stadshaug,that an ordinance be drafted
for first reading at next Council meeting providing that on-street parking
of heavy or industrial equipment,large'trucks exceeding one-ton capacity,
trailers,recreational equipment,etc.,be prohibited in residential zones.
Motion carried.
LIBRARY BOARD -PRELIMINARY BUILDING PLANS
13 It was moved by the Library Board at their meeting on March 25,1963,
that an auditorium be built in the basement creating a defense fallout
shelter in the proposed library building,providing that the City Council
were in favor of this.This action was stated by Mr.John Hayes,
Vice-Chairman of the Library Board,who appeared before the Council.
Architect,Harvey Vernier,stated that the cost of this would be a little
greater and possibly less convenience for the library staff would also be
involved.He said a small basement would be necessary anyway for the
heating and air-conditioning equipment.The Council decided to meet
with Mr.Vernier at a special study session for further discussion.n
