Potential Aquatics Facility Locations
Mr. Watkins provided a brief report on the properties of interest to place an aquatics
facility on and then presented drone video footage of the three properties.
The first presentation was for property located north of 1-182. Tim Ufkes,
representative for the property owners, discussed the two (2) Broadmoor
Development Lots Nos. 19 and 22, as well as other possible lots. There was a
discussion of co -locating the aquatics facility with other amenities such as a Ben
Franklin Transit facility, a Mid -Columbia Library branch, and/or a City of Pasco
Community Center. Discussion also included the timeline of the development of
the streets/roadways.
The second presentation was for property located south of 1-182 and is owned by
the Youngs. Nick Wright, representative for the Young family, provided a brief
report on the proposed site. He noted that the Youngs were notified that the City
is in the planning stage of developing an overpass across 1-182. As currently
configured, it would cut the proposed property in half rendering it ineffective for an
aquatic facility.
The third presentation was for property located next to the LifeQuest building. Carl
Cadwell, representative for the LifeQuest property, gave a PowerPoint
presentation about the site. The property is ready to be built on with all the needed
utilities and is located next to three hotels and adjacent to the regional sports facility
