ORDINANCE -AMENDMENT TO ZONING ORDINANCE WEST BROADWAY -2ND READING
Letter was read from Building and Planning Director,Merle W.JO
Hoeft,presenting the Planning Commission recommendation that
the second reading of the ordinance be deferred until the
February 9 meeting,to relieve possible legal complications
regarding the "CM"zone -paragraph 150.50 -Conditions.
Mr.Hoeft explained that the paragraph refers to conditions
regarding the storage and display of materials.In talking to
the City Attorney,he felt there could be a legal complication.•
The Planning Commission has asked for a suggested revision at
the next Planning Commission meeting.
Mr.Calbom said that the present "CM"ordinance does not
authorize the display of merchandise in any front yard.Conse
quently in the public hearing there were some misconceptions.
Arguments by members of the Planning Commission,for instance,
suggested there could be storage and display of merchandise in
front yards.The only exceptions to outside storage or display
for sale would be automobiles,boat trailers or something of that
nature that isn't necessarily sold indoors,however,these items
cannot be displayed within the front yard set back requirement.
Motion by Holm,seconded by Hardin,that the second reading of
the proposed ordinance be deferred until the mefting of February
23,1965.Motion carried.

ORDINANCE -AMENDMENT TO ZONING ORDINANCE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS -2nd READING
/\.Letter was read from Building and Planning Director,Merle W.
Hoeft,presenting the Planning Commission recommendation that
the second reading of the proposed ordinance be deferred until
the February 9 Council meeting.Being advised of actions by
previous Planning Commissions,the Planning Commission has
reviewed the wording of the proposed ordinance.
Mr.Hoeft explained that apparently in the past the Planning
Commission interpreted the ordinance to mean 30,000 gallons per
tank. This proposed ordinance limits the above ground storage —
to 50,000 gallons in the Ml zone.
Mr.Calbom suggested that the ordinance should be amended to
delete the 50,000 gallon above ground storage in the Ml zone
because each case is subject to approval by the Planning Commission
after favorable recommendation by the Fire Chief.Apparently there
is one case where there are 3 or 4 tanks of 30,000 gallons apiece
on one tract,which is in violation of the ordinance as written.
Motion by Hardin, seconded by McDonald, that the second reading
of the ordinance be delayed until February 9,as requested by
the Planning Commission. Motion carried.
McNELLY ADDITION -PROPOSED VACATION OF PLAT
in Letter was read from Building and Planning Director,Merle W.
Hoeft,presenting the Planning Commission recommendation that
Council follow the necessary procedures to vacate the plat
excepting the ten feet dedicated for widening of Stratford Road.
Also read was a letter from Assistant city Engineer, William
Daugaard,recommending approval for vacation of the McNelly
Addition except for the additional ten feet along Stratford Road
which was included in the original dedication.The McNelly Plat
falls entirely within the area which the State Highway Depart
ment will be purchasing for right-of-way for the Stratford Road
interchange.
Letter from Mr. A. d.McNelly,requesting the vacation of the
plat to eliminate the expense of the bond,which is due January
22,1965,was also read.
Motion by Holm,seconded by Ebbert,that the recommendation of
the Planning Commission be accepted,and the Public Hearing on
the vacation of McNelly Addition be set for February 23,1965.
Motion carried.

PEOPLE'S NATIONAL BANK -REQUEST TO ROTATE BANKING SERVICES
Letter was read from Mr.M. R.Vernon,Assistant Vice President
and Manager of People's Notional Bank,requesting that the
City's entire banking relationship be rotated between People's
National Bank and Seattle First National Bank.Mr.Vernon
pointed out that the City's active account has been with Seattle
First National Bank since 1958.An inactive account of $30,000
has been maintained at People's Bank for a few years.
Mayor Stadshaug said that he felt Council should take the
matter under advisement and go over it with the City Manager
when he returns.
Mr.Vernon said that he had approached Mr.Waggener 3 or 4 years
ago, and at that time the inactive account was established.He
again approached Mr.Waggener 3 or 4 weeks ago, and Mr.Waggener
suggested that he write the letter.
Motion by Ebbert, seconded by Holm, that the request for rotation
of banking services be postponed until February 9, and that a
study session be held on the matter. Motion carried, with Mr.
Hardin abstaining from voting on the motion.
The study session was set for Tuesday evening,February 2,at
7:30 p.m.

FACILITIES //(ft*
Resolution No.354,declaring intention to temporarily continue
water and sewerage facilities lease with the United States;
authorizing application for permit to construct improvements
to sewerage facilities and on rights of way of the United States;
requesting the Bureau of Reclamation to apply to General Services
Administration for transfer of water and sewerage facilities and
rights of way to the City of Moses Lake;and declaring the intent
of the City of Moses Lake to thereafter maintain said facilities
and provide water and sewer service at specified rates to the
Bureau of Reclamation facilities as a condition of transfer,was
read.
Mayor Stadshaug pointed out that the lift station is involved in
the proposed expansion on Wheeler Road.
Mr.McLanahan said that if the City does not get these facilities,
but improves them for Pronto Foods,they will be improving
facilities that are not theirs.It will save approximately
$10,000 to have these facilities to improve rather than having
to build new ones.The City has enlarged the pumps and has been
maintaining the lift station.
Mr.Calbom said that the Bureau requires the resolution signifying
the intent of the City so that they can go to General Services
Administration.

adopted.Motion carried.
