PUBLIC HEARING -ZONE CHANGE -MOSES LAKE GRANGE yypaThepublichearingwasopenedbyMayorStadshaug.A letter was
read from the City Manager recommending to the City Council that the
request for re-zoning by Moses Lake Grange Supply,Inc.,be
approved.The letter also suggested that the Council approve the
Ordinance providing for the zone change if they approved the request
for zone change.
Mr.Allen Hicks,speaking for the Grange Supply as its Manager,
reiterated his statement to the Planning Commission that it is almost
impossible to do a job of supplying farmers with commodities under
the existing facilities and the present zoning code.The building that they
must have will not fit into the HS zone.Plans for the proposed new

December 27,1966
building were presented by Mr.Hicks.
There was discussion by the Council as to the set back from the street
by the new building and the future use of the triangular shaped land
to the South and West of the new building.Concern was expressed
regarding extension of the zone change to include the triangle.It
was the consensus of opinion that the zone change should be limited
to the new building inasmuch as the remaining property might,at
some future date,be sold and the new owners would not be bound
by the word of the Grange people and might build out to the property
line.It was felt that as long as the Grange remained in possession
of the land there would be no problem but the concern was,rather,
for the future.Mr.Hicks said that they were more interested in the
building itself right at the moment from the present property
line to the other end of the oil storage house.If it is limited
he felt the plans for expansion would be gone.He stated that the
building must be completed by the first of March because that is when
their business starts.If it waits too much longer it will be too late.
The City Manager stated that the reason the Planning Commission went
along with the Ml change was because they were approving a specific
building.If,in the future,the Grange wants to come back for another
change,that could be done.
Motion by Ebbert,second by Eng to close the public hearing.Passed
unanimously.
Motion by Holm that the council give approval to proceed with con
struction of this specific building in this location and work with the
City Attorney in writing a revised zone change at the next meeting for
consideration for the entire peice of land,providing within that
change a 25 foot set back,with parking in front.Second by Jones.
Passed unanimously.

the Quit Claim Deed from the Moses L ake Grange Supply for a ten
foot strip of land adjacent to Locust Lane to help provide a minimum
street right-of-way width of 60 feet.
Motion by Hardin,second by Eng to adopt the Resolution.Passed
unanimously.
RESOLUTION No.422 -TRANSFERRING FUNDS WITHIN THE GENERAL FUND
Resolution No.422 was made necessary by the turn-over of personnel
during the 1966 budget year and there are not sufficient appropriations
