PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: Brownie Girl Scout Troop 1232 led the Council in the pledge of allegiance. PRESENTATION AND AWARDS Relay for Life: Dr. Curnel was recognized for his contributions to the American Cancer Society Relay for Life. CONSENT AGENDA Minutes: The minutes of the May 27 meeting were presented for approval. Accept Work -2014 Crack Seal Project: BCV, Inc. has completed work on the 2014 Crack Seal Project. The work should be accepted and the 60-day lien period entered into. Accept Work -2013 Lift Station Project: POW Contracting has completed work on the 2013 Lift Station Project. The work should be accepted and the 60-day lien period entered into. Action Taken: Mr. Lane moved that the Consent Agenda be approved, seconded by Mr. Avila, and passed unanimously. Approval of Claims, Prepaid Claims, Checks, and Payroll: Vouchers audited and certified by the Finance Director as required by RCW 42.24.080, and those expense reimbursement claims, certified as required by RCW 42.24.090, have been recorded on a listing which has been made available to the Council for approval and is retained for public inspection at the Civic Center. As of June 10, 2014 the Council does approve for payment claims in the amount of $946,381.03; prepaid claims in the amounts of $33, 790.08 and $29, 157.85; claim checks in the amount of $635,754.01; and payroll in the amount of $345,530.56. Mr. Voth felt that with the cost of the contracted Building Inspector and an increasing need for inspection services, the City should hire a permanent employee.

COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS -None CONSIDERATION OF BIDS AND QUOTES 2014 STEEL WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT PROJECT The City received two bids for the 2014 Steel Water Main Replacement Project. The project includes replacing steel water mains on East Broadway, Fifth Street, and Stratford Road, installing a hydrant on Turnkey Road , installing an electronic control valve on Wheeler Road, and associated work. Gary Harer, Municipal Services Director, mentioned that the bids came in higher than the engineer's estimate because the staff did not consider the amount of hand work and interaction with property owners to replace their service lines and meters on Broadway and underestimated the cost of the electrical and telemetry work for the Wheeler Road electronic control valve. He felt that the bids were fair and reasonable. Action Taken: Mr. Lane moved that the bid be awarded to POW Contracting in the amount of $681,366, seconded by Mr. Avila, and passed unanimously. City Council Minutes PETITIONS, COMMUNICATIONS, OR PUBLIC HEARINGS SHORELINE MASTER PROGRAM -PUBLIC HEARING June 10, 2014 Planning Commission and staff have been working since 2004 on amendments to the existing Shoreline Master Program in order to comply with new legislation governing shoreline management.

Action Taken: Mr. Voth moved that the public hearing be continued to June 24, seconded by Mrs. Liebrecht, and passed unanimously. COMMUNICATION -BROWNIE GIRL SCOUT TROOP Brownie Girl Scout Troop 1232 requested time before the Council to discuss banning plastic shopping bags as they are a major source of litter and do not decompose. Several members of Brownie Troop 1232 spoke on the negative impacts of plastic bags on the environment and suggested they be banned in Moses Lake. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS ORDINANCE -VACATE RIGHT-OF-WAY -2N° READING An ordinance was presented which vacates the right-of-way on Lot 6, Replat of Lots 8 and 10, Block 4, Moses Lake Industrial Park Plat. Public utility agencies and city departments were notified and no objections were received . The ordinance vacating a portion of right-of-way was read by title only.

Gilbert Alvarado, Community Development Director, gave the history of sign heights along state and federal highway intersections within and adjacent to the city's limits. The ordinance amending Chapter 18.58 of the Moses Lake Municipal Code entitled "Signs" was read by title only. Kim Foster, corporate counsel for ASPI Group, stated that because of the competitive nature of the retail environment is very competitive, retail stores want good exposure to the surrounding streets. Action Taken: Mr. Lane moved that the first reading of the ordinance be adopted, seconded by Mr. Avila, and passed unanimously. REQUEST TO CALL FOR BIDS -None REFERRALS FROM COMMISSIONS -None City Council Minutes June 10, 2014 OTHER ITEMS FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION PLATTING DEEMED INSUFFICIENT -BOT 174 and NELSON SHORT PLAT Chuck and Mary Perry submitted a building permit application for Tract 17 4, Battery Orchard Tracts Alteration Plat located at 4180 W . Lakeshore Drive, which is a legally platted parcel. Wayne and Leslie Piper submitted a building permit application for Lot 1, Nelson Short Plat located at 3604 W. Lakeshore Drive, which is a legally platted parcel. Gilbert Alvarado, Community Development Director, mentioned that property platted years ago was not required to install municipal improvements that are now required with current plats. In order to rectify the deficiencies, staff cannot issue a building permit for improvements on insufficiently platted property unless the properties are brought into conformance with the current codes or the City Council grants a waiver, deferral, or deviation from the requirements to install the deficient plat improvements. He mentioned that if the Council approves a waiver or deferral of those requirements, a covenant for future improvements will be required. Mr. Perry was unsure what would be required to obtain a building permit and if other property owners in the area would be required to pay for future improvements. Mr. Alvarado explained the process for the City to secure the construction of the required improvements to City standards at the time the City deems them necessary. He mentioned that the Council could call in the covenant when improvements are constructed and the property owner would have to participate in the cost. Action Taken: Mr. Ecret moved that the required improvements be deferred with the stipulation that covenants be required for future improvements, seconded by Mr. Lane and passed with Mr. Voth and Mrs. Liebrecht opposed as they did not feel individual property owners should be singled out to pay for future improvements. NON-AGENDA ITEMS AND PUBLIC QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS CODE ENFORCEMENT Paul Boehm, 2710 W. Lakeside, thanked the Council for removing the shrubs that were encroaching on the sidewalk on West Broadway. COUNCIL QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS -None CITY MANAGER REPORTS AND COMMENTS AMBULANCE REPORT The cash report on the ambulance operations for the month of May was provided. BUILDING ACTIVITY REPORT The May building activity report was provided. LONGVIEW TRACTS -UPDATE Gilbert Alvarado, Community Development Director, explained that out of 148 properties in Longview Tracts there are still 17 properties that have yet to permit for connection to City sewer. He mentioned that the 17 properties are owned by various individuals. He mentioned that the City has several options to address the issued. The City can issue a Notice to Comply and establish a lien on the property but that will not get the property connected to City sewer. The City can use legal means to force compliance, which is a long and costly process. Another option is for the City to discuss the problem with the Health District and request the District not allow renewal of the septic systems when they fail which would force the property owner to connect to City sewer. City Council Minutes June 10, 2014 There was some discussion about how to get the properties connected to City sewer and staff was directed to provide information on the options for connecting the properties to City sewer. PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT Spencer Grigg, Parks and Recreation Director, gave a presentation on the operations of the Parks and Recreation Department. The regular meeting was adjourned at 9:00 p.m. ATTEST Dick Deane, Mayor W . Robert Taylor, Finance Director June 18, 2014 TO: City Manager for Council Consideration FROM : Community Development Director SUBJECT: Davisson Major Plat and Findings of Fact Davisson Enterprises has submitted an application to plat 17.74 acres into one lot. The site is located west of Road N and north of Wheeler Road . The area is zoned Heavy Industrial, which corresponds with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation of Industrial. A deferral of street and utility improvements was also requested. The Planning Commission recommended that the preliminary plat be approved with conditions. Attached are the Findings, Conclusions and Decision of the Planning Commission . As no appeal was taken from this decision of the Planning Commission , the Council's approval of this decision incorporates and adopts the Findings, Conclusion and Decision of the Planning Commission. Respectfully submitted, Gilbert A~ Community Development Director GA:jt BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION/CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOSES LAKE, WASHINGTON IN THE MATTER OF THE DAVISSON MAJOR PLAT AND DEFERRAL REQUEST FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSIONS, AND DECISION 1. HEARING BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION. 1.1 Date. A public hearing was held upon proper notice before the Planning Commission on April 24, 2014. 1 .2 Proponent. Davisson Enterprises is the proponent of this plat. 1.3 Purpose. The proponent has requested a one-lot preliminary major plat of 17.74 acres in the Heavy Industrial Zone upon property legally described as Tax #5824 and 5825 in Farm Unit 79, Block 41, Assessor Parcel #11-0069-486 and-487; and more fully described on the face of the plat. A deferral of street and utility improvements for Wheeler Road and Road N was also requested. 1.4 Evidence. The Commission considered the following materials in reaching its decision: A. The plat submitted February 11 , 2014. B. Staff report and attachments. C. Testimony from Anne Henning, staff; and Gilbert Bailey of Columbia NW Engineering, representing the proponent. 2. FINDINGS OF FACT BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION. Based upon the evidence presented to it, the Commission makes the following findings of fact: 2.1 The proponent is the owner of the property legally described above located within City limits. 2.2 The site is currently vacant. No development is proposed at the present time. 2.3 The area is zoned Heavy Industrial, which corresponds with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation of Industrial. Surrounding land uses are a mix of industrial and vacant land. 2.4 Wheeler Road is classified as a primary street, and Road N is classified as a secondary street. Neither is built to Community Standards. Deferrals were requested for gravity sewer in Road N, sidewalks, curb, gutter, and storm drainage structures on the north side of Wheeler Road; sidewalks on the west side of Road N, street lighting, and fire hydrants along Wheeler and Road N. 2.5 The Development Engineer provided a list of comments and corrections that must be addressed before the final plat is submitted for review, and reimbursements that must be paid before the plat is recorded. 2.6 The Assistant Fire Chief commented on hydrants. 2.7 The Bureau of Reclamation (USSR) and East Columbia Basin Irrigation District (ECBID) noted corrections that are needed on the plat. 2.8 Cascade Natural Gas provided information on the location of a 4" gas main in Road N adjacent to the site. FINDINGS OF FACT DAVISSON MAJOR PLAT AND DEFERRAL REQUEST Page2 May 15, 2014 2.9 A Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) was issued for the project on March 28, 2014, under the State Environmental Policy Act Rules (WAC 197-11 ). No probable significant environmental impacts were identified, so no mitigation was required. 2.10 The Comprehensive Plan sets the transportation level of service for Wheeler and Road N at C. The existing level of service for this intersection in 2010 was C for southbound and E for northbound. However, platting the property will not affect traffic generation. Any traffic mitigation should be tied to an actual project on this site. 2.11 Comprehensive Plan General Land Use Policy 1 encourages cost-effective development adjacent to urban areas where adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided in a timely and efficient manner. 2.12 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Policy 4 encourages infill developments that are scaled and designed to fit their surroundings on properties suited to urban development. 2.13 Industrial Land Use Goal 10 encourages the development of diversified industrial and manufacturing activities to provide employment in the area, and strengthen the economy and tax base. 2.14 Industrial Policy 53 is that City shall coordinate with the Grant County Economic Development Council, Port of Moses Lake, Public Utility District, and other regional agencies' efforts to retain and attract industrial and manufacturing activities in the area. 2.15 Industrial Policy 54 is that industrial and manufacturing recruitment efforts shall be supported by a range of procurable large, open, attractive light-and heavy-industrially-zoned development sites located within the UGA. 2.16 Industrial Policy 55 is that industrial lands should not attract land uses which are more appropriate in commercial areas. 2.17 Industrial Policy 56 is to locate industrial lands in areas that maximize available and planned infrastructure, including major transportation corridors. 3. CONCLUSIONS BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION. From the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission makes the following conclusions: 3.1 The decision of the Planning Commission must be supported by the evidence presented and must be consistent with the standards and criteria for review specified in state statutes and city ordinances. The standards and criteria for review of preliminary plat applications are found in Chapter 58.17 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW), Title 17 of the Moses Lake Municipal Code (MLMC), and Title 20 MLMC. 3.2 MLMC 20.09.020 requirements: 1. Comprehensive Plan/Municipal Code: The development is consistent with Comprehensive Plan goals and policies on infill and industrial uses by platting a site in an industrial area that already has access to City services and making the site suitable for future development. With deferral of street and utility improvements, the development meets the requirements and intent of the Municipal Code. 2. Adequate provisions for necessary improvements: With conditions for future FINDINGS OF FACT DAVISSON MAJOR PLAT AND DEFERRAL REQUEST Page 3 May 15, 2014 improvements when needed, adequate provisions for streets and other public ways, water supply, and sanitary wastes exist. With a covenant for future street and utility improvements to Community Standards, the development will provide for necessary platting improvements. 3. Impacts: No impacts have been identified under Chapters 14 through 19 that will not be mitigated through existing regulations and conditions. 4. Public health, safety, welfare, and interest: The development is beneficial to the public health, safety and welfare and is in the public interest by platting land consistent with the intent of the Heavy Industrial Zone. 5. Transportation Level of Service: The development does not lower the level of service of transportation facilities below the minimum standards established in the Comprehensive Plan because platting the property does not change the traffic generated by the site. 6. Parks Level of Service: Not applicable to industrial projects. 7. Dedications: The street right-of-way required for dedication is the minimum standard for the street classification. 3.3 Deferral: The deferral of street and utility improvements is reasonable so that improvements to Wheeler Road and Road N can be constructed in one large project rather than multiple small projects as each property is platted. One large project will be more economical and will be a better result for the public that uses these streets than constructing the streets piecemeal would be. 4. DECISION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION. On the basis of the foregoing findings of fact and conclusions, it is the decision of the Planning Commission of the City of Moses Lake that the request for a preliminary major plat as submitted on the property designated above be approved with the following conditions: 4.1 The comments of the Development Engineer shall be addressed before final plat submittal. 4.2 The comments of USBR and ECBID shall be addressed before final plat submittal. 4.3 A deferral shall be granted for design and construction of street and utility improvements for Wheeler Road and Road N, including street lighting. Improvements shall be to Community Standards current at the time of construction, and a covenant shall be recorded with the plat to guarantee installation of required improvements.

HEARING BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION. 1.1 Date. A public hearing was held upon proper notice before the Planning Commission on May 15, 2014. 1.2 Proponent. City of Moses Lake, Municipal Services Department is the proponent of this plat. 1.3 Purpose. The proponent has requested to subdivide 45.91 acres into three lots in the Public Zone upon property legally described as Tax #5790, Assessor Parcel #11-0412-005; and more fully described on the face of the plat. Deferrals of street and utility improvements were requested, as well as deviations for block length and angle of property line intersection. 1.4 Evidence. The Commission considered the following materials in reaching its decision: A. The plat submitted February 19, 2014. B. Staff report and attachments. C. Testimony from Anne Henning and Wayne Ostler, staff. 2. FINDINGS OF FACT BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION. Based upon the evidence presented to it, the Commission makes the following findings of fact: 2.1 The proponent is the owner of the property legally described above located within City limits. 2.2 The site contains the Larson Wastewater Treatment Plant and Grant County Animal Outreach. A portion of the site is vacant. No further development is proposed at the present time. 2.3 Surrounding land uses include the Grant County International Airport, industrial, agricultural, vacant land, and scattered single family homes. Land to the southeast of the plat is outside City limits and zoned Rural Residential 1. All property in the City abutting this property is zoned Heavy Industrial. 2.4 Randolph Road is classified as a secondary street. It is not built to City standards, lacking the required width of asphalt, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and some utility infrastructure. Road 1.5 abuts the site but is outside City limits. Grant County Public Works requested that right- of-way be dedicated for Road 1.5, but did not request improvement to the road. Road 6.7 separates Block 1 from Block 2 of the plat and provides a connection between Randolph Road and Road 1.5. This approximately 200' road is not built to City standards. The proponent requested deferral of improvement to City streets. The City will not require improvement to the County road unless requested by the County. 2.5 The Development Engineer provided a list of comments and corrections that must be addressed and documents that must be provided before the final plat is submitted for review. 2.6 Grant County Public Works commented that access permits will be required for all lots accessing Road I, driveway approaches on Road I shall be built to County standards, and 30' FINDINGS OF FACT LARSON WASTEWATER TREATMENT MAJOR PLAT AND DEFERRAL REQUEST road dedication is required along Road I. Page 2 May 29, 2014 2.7 The Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) commented that although this proposal is within the Project and District, it does not involve any Project facilities. Therefore, they have no comment on the proposal's impact on Project facilities or associated rights-of-way. USBR further commented that permits are required for withdrawing groundwater. USBR did not include any requirement that they and/or the Irrigation District must sign the plat. 2.8 A Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) was issued for the project on April 25, 2014, under the State Environmental Policy Act Rules (WAC 197-11 ). No probable significant environmental impacts were identified, so no mitigation was required. 2.9 The Comprehensive Plan does not set a specific transportation level of service for the streets in this area. Per Transportation Policy 5.3, where no level of service is specifically adopted, the minimum level of service standard shall be D. Level of service has not been measured in this area. However, no traffic problems were noted, and platting the property will not affect traffic generation. Any traffic mitigation should be tied to an actual project on this site. 2.10 Comprehensive Plan General Land Use Policy 1 encourages cost-effective development adjacent to urban areas where adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided in a timely and efficient manner. 2.11 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Policy 4 encourages infill developments that are scaled and designed to fit their surroundings on properties suited to urban development. 3. CONCLUSIONS BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION. From the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission makes the following conclusions: 3.1 The decision of the Planning Commission must be supported by the evidence presented and must be consistent with the standards and criteria for review specified in state statutes and city ordinances. The standards and criteria for review of preliminary plat applications are found in Chapter 58.17 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW), Title 17 of the Moses Lake Municipal Code (MLMC}, and Title 20 MLMC. 3.2 MLMC 20.09.020 requirements: 1. Comprehensive Plan/Municipal Code: The development is consistent with Comprehensive Plan goals and policies on infill by platting a partially-developed site in public zone that already has access to City services and making the site suitable for additional future development. With deviations and deferrals, the development meets the requirements and intent of the Municipal Code. 2. Adequate provisions for necessary improvements: All improvements exist or can be provided in the future when needed. 3. Impacts: No impacts have been identified under Chapters 14 through 19 that will not be mitigated through existing regulations and conditions. 4. Public health, safety, welfare, and interest: The development is beneficial to the public health, safety and welfare and is in the public interest by platting land FINDINGS OF FACT LARSON WASTEWATER TREATMENT MAJOR PLAT AND DEFERRAL REQUEST consistent with the intent of the Public Zone. Page3 May29, 2014 5. Transportation Level of Service: The development does not lower the level of service of transportation facilities below the minimum standards established in the Comprehensive Plan because platting the property does not change the traffic generated by the site. 6. Parks Level of Service: This project will not affect parks level of service. 7. Dedications: The street right-of-way required for dedication is the minimum standard for the street classification. 3.3 Deferral: The deferral of street and utility improvements is reasonable so that improvements can be constructed in one large project rather than multiple small projects as each property is platted. One large project will be more economical and will be a better result for the public that uses these streets than constructing the streets piecemeal would be. 3.4 Deviations: The property line angle deviation is necessary due to existing property Jines and ownerships. The block length deviation is appropriate for the industrial nature of the area. 4. DECISION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION. On the basis of the foregoing findings of fact and conclusions, it is the decision of the Planning Commission of the City of Moses Lake that the request for a preliminary major plat as submitted on the property designated above be approved with the following conditions: 4.1 The comments of the Development Engineer shall be addressed before final plat submittal. 4.2 The comments of Grant County Public Works shall be addressed before final plat submittal. 4.3 A deferral shall be granted for design and construction of street and utility improvements. Improvements shall be to Community Standards current at the time of construction. 4.4 A deviation to MLMC 17.21.030.G shall be granted to allow the southwesterly lot line to intersect with the street at more than 20 degrees from perpendicular, due to existing conditions. 4.5 A deviation to MLMC 17.21.030.C shall be granted, to allow blocks longer than 600', due to existing conditions.

Ken ison, City Attorney June 18, 2014 TO: City Manager for Council Consideration FROM: Community Development Director SUBJECT: Ordinance -Amend MLMC 18.20 -151 Reading The Planning Commission at their meeting on June 121h, conducted a study session to re-consider amendments to the residential setback standards of the Zoning Code. These amendments were considered in 2013 by the Planning Commission and forwarded to the City Council for adoption. However, the Council did not adopt the subject amendments as proposed. See attached background information. The Planning Commission invited the community to participate in a study session to consider the proposed changes. The Commission concluded the study session and made a recommendation that the City Council adopt the proposed changes. Attached is an ordinance which amends the residential setbacks as follows: 1. Change the R-1 and R-2 front and exterior side setbacks to 20' for living space and 15' for porches, covered entries, and similar unenclosed building projections. The original 25' setback is retained only for garages. 2. Since the standards chart is being changed to have a different setback for garages, staff proposes amending the R-3 Zone to clarify that while the setback is 15', the setback for a garage is 20'. This would alleviate a lot of confusion that occurs currently, because while the setback is 15', the parking space in front of the garage is required to be 20' deep. Including the garage setback for the R-3 Zone will make this much clearer. 3. Change the R-1 and R-2 interior side setback from 7' to 6' for lots wider than 65'. 4. Since the interior side setback section is proposed for changes, staff proposes to move down the requirements for the R-3 and R-4 Zone, again to reduce confusion about the current code. 5. Because exterior side yards are being treated the same as front yards, the exterior side yard sections have been combined with the front yard provisions, and the former exterior side yard provisions are proposed to be deleted. The ordinance is presented for Council consideration. This is the first reading of the ordinance. Respetl !\1bmitted, Gilbert Alva;ar Community Development Director GA:jt June 15, 2014 Honorable members of the Moses Lake City council, Mayor of Moses Lake, Members of Planning and Development Staff, City of Moses Lake management Citizens of Moses lake, To all interested parties and members of the Moses Lake Community, We the members of the Planning Commission, unanimously support the Proposed amendments to MLMC 18.20.050 -Residential Setbacks as reviewed and discussed in our June 12, Planning Commission Meeting. We feel that the amendments will benefit homebuyers in our community by allowing and encouraging builders to be more flexible in the home products they build and market. These changes will enable things like front porches, front family rooms and dens and a variety of other desirable features to be more efficiently added to existing and new home plans. They will also encourage more variation in the front elevations of new homes to enhance the look, feel and appeal of neighborhoods to passers by. The amendments will also benefit contractors by reducing constraints on the location and footprint of home locations by allowing a slight reduction on several setbacks. Contractors surveyed indicated that these changes would make it easier to customize front elevations and give bigger back yards producing a more marketable product and happier homebuyers. We believe this is a win-win situation where both homebuyers and contractors will benefit. This also should allow slightly larger homes on a given lot, which will increase revenue in the form of increased property tax revenue. We strongly recommend that you approve this proposal at your earliest opportunity. Sincerely, The members of your Moses Lake Planning Commission. ORDINANCE NO.

Adopted by the City Council and signed by its Mayor on Dick Deane, Mayor ATTEST: W. Robert Taylor, Finance Director APPROVED AS TO FORM: Katherine L. Kenison, City Attorney June 12, 2014 TO: Planning Commission SUBJECT: Study Session -Proposed Amendments to MLMC 18.20.050 -Residential Setbacks In 2013, the Planning Commission recommended to the Council to reduce residential setbacks. The Council did not adopt the Planning Commission's recommendation, and requested more public input. Letters were sent to local developers and other interested parties to gather more input. Only a few responses were received. On May 29, the Commission set a study session for June 12. The following documents are attached: 1. Minutes of the City Council's consideration of the changes, March 26, 2013. 2. March 20, 2013 memo summarizing the proposed changes. 3. The draft ordinance in underline/strikeout format (5 pages). 4. April 16, 2013 letter from the Planning Commission to the Council. 5. Graphic from the City of Sumner, showing different setbacks for garage, living space, and porch (note that the dimensions used by Sumner are smaller than proposed for Moses Lake; however, Sumner has extensive design guidelines for the appearance of houses constructed using these smaller setbacks). Action: The Planning Commission should hold a study session on proposed revisions to residential setbacks. If any formal action is to be taken, the Commission should take that action during their regularly scheduled meeting. Respectfully submitted, =.::n:\~ Senior Planner Community Development Department ORDINANCE -AMEND 18.20 -RESIDENTIAL ZONES -1sr READING An ordinance was presented which changes the front and side yard setbacks in the R-1 and R-2 zones. The Planning Commission recommended that the changes be adopted. The ordinance amending Chapter 18.20 of the Moses Lake Municipal Code entitled "Residential Zones" was read by title only. Gilbert Alvarado, Community Development Director, gave some background on residential neighborhood design and explained the proposed setback changes to the Council. There was considerable discussion by the Council. Action Taken: Mrs. Liebrecht moved that the first reading of the ordinance be adopted, seconded by Dr. Curnel. Mr. Deane was concerned that the reduction in the setbacks would allow bigger homes on smaller lots. There was some additional discussion by the Council which expressed concern about allowing smaller setbacks in an existing development. Tom Arrowsmith , Aho Construction, stated that they have an existing subdivision of 100 acres and they would like to include porches on the homes which they are not able to do under the current regulations. He mentioned that property owners are now requesting amenities not in favor when the property was originally platted. The motion failed with Mrs. Liebrecht in favor. TO COUNCIL MAR. 26, 2013 1o:st/ v;:r f 1371 March 20, 2013 TO: City Manager for Council Consideration FROM: Community Development Director SUBJECT: Ordinance .; Amend MLMC 18.20.050 -Residential Setbacks -1" Reading Tom Arrowsmith, on behalf of Aho Construction, has requested that the City of Moses Lake consider amending the current residential setbacks of the Zoning Code. See attached letter. I would point out that this was Mr. Arrowsmith's initial letter and additional correspondence was received since his initial November 26, 2012 letter. This provides the City Council with some background in terms of how this request came to be before the Council. The Planning Commission considered the subject request and conducted a study session to review the matter. In summary, the Planning Commission agreed that some changes to the residential . setbacks are warranted. The Commission recommended that the City Council consider the following changes: 1. Change the R-1 and R-2 front and exterior side setbacks to 20' for living space and 15' for porches, covered entries, and similar unenclosed building projections. Th~ original 25' setback is retained only for garages. 2. Since the standards chart is being changed to have a different setback for garages, staff proposes amending the R-3 Zone to clarify that while the setback is 15', the setback for a garage is 20'. This would alleviate a lot of confusion that occurs currently, because while the setback is 15', the parking space in front of the garage is required to be 20' deep. Including the garage setback for the R-3 Zone will make this much dearer. 3. Change the R-1 and R-2 interior side setback from 7' to 6' for lots wider than 65'. 4. Since the interior side setback section is proposed for changes, staff proposes to move down the requirements for the R-3 and R-4 Zone, again to reduce confusion about the current code. 5. Because exterior side yards are being treated the same as front yards, the exterior side yard sections have been combined with the front yard provisions, and the former exterior side yard provisions are proposed to be deleted. · The Planning Commission recommended that the proposed changes be adopted. The ordinance is presented f~r Council consideration. This is the first reading of the ordinance. Respectfully submitted, GA:jt ORDINANCE NO.

( ' ( Date: 04/16/2013 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Residential Setbacks -Proposed Amendments The Planning Commission recently made a recommendation to the City. Council to amend the residential setback requirements of the Zoning Code to allow more flexibility with the construction of a single-family dwelling and a duplex. Also included were changes that clarify multi-family setbacks. We understand from reading the City Council minutes and a discussion with the Community Development Director that the 1st Reading of an ordinance considering the proposed amendments was not passed. We appreciate the City Council considering our work on this matter. We want the City Council to know that after further discussion on this matter, the Planning Commission decided that we intend to continue working with the proposed amendments to the residential setbacks. We will take into consideration some of the City Council's concerns with the amendments as proposed and will work from there. We plan to consider additional input from the public and we will also look into how the proposed changes impact existing developed subdivisions. We feel that the concepts of traditional neighborhood design can be a great tool for the development community. If the City Council has any additional comments about our intentions, we would appreciate them as we move forward with this task. v.lndom facing the slreet al$ required Single"Family Guidelines Figure 4-1.

I have one building that is not set back from sidewalk and one building that is set back. The two properties on both sides of my property are not set back and one has a sign that extend over the sidewalk as well.

Staff has briefed the Council on a few occasions that there remain properties that have yet to disconnect their septic systems and connect to the sewer main installed by the city. Those properties that remain out of compliance with connecting to the city sewer main, total 54. However, it should be noted that these properties differ in terms of compliance. There are 17 parcels with no permits. The remaining 37 parcels with permits are more difficult to account because of the lack of contact by the property owners. In other words the remaining 37 parcels with permits have either called for an inspection at some point and not completed the work for re-inspect, or have never called for an inspection. In order to try and assess the 37 parcels with permits, a field survey was performed by the Building Inspector and Code Enforcement Officer on June 17th. Please see the following details of the field survey. 1. 11 parcels show no evidence of sewer main connection 2. 8 parcels show evidence of sewer main connection but were not inspected by staff 3. 13 parcels are unknown due to lack of access or information 4. 4 parcel owners reported connection to the sewer main and compliance Staff will continue to work on any additional information that may assist the City Council with their deliberations on this matter. Staff will provide current property ownerships and code enforcement history.
