REGULAR MEETING PASCO CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 2, 1999
Mr. Strode asked if it was correct that the triangular lot south of the
alley is currently owned, and has been owned for sometime, by
Western Materials?
Mr. McDonald stated that was correct, however, prior to Western
Materials the property was owned by Northern Pacific Railroad.
Mr. Strode asked if it would be correct to say that since the property
has been owned by Western Materials there has not been any
contiguous access to the alley from Lots 9-11?
Mr. McDonald stated that was correct.
Mr. Lathim stated he would not want to take any action until the lease
agreement between Western Materials and the owners of Lots #10 and
#11 are finalized.
MOTION: Mr. Garrison moved to continue the public hearing until
August 16, 1999. Mr. Strode seconded the motion.
Ms. Phyllis Fairbanks, of 16 W. A St., explained that since the last
hearing she had contacted a title company and had a title search
conducted on the alley property. The title company found reference to
Ordinance No. 602 that accepted an easement from Northern Pacific
Railway Company for the use of certain lands for right-of-way for alley
purposes. Ms. Fairbanks explained that the City Attorney stated that
the alley was a legal alley.
Ms. Carol Martell, of 902 E. 6 Avenue, Kennewick, spoke in opposition
to the proposed vacation.
Mr. Norm Dickson, of Lot #1, asked if someone could measure the
distance between the backyards of Lots #1 through #5 and the
proposed easement.
Mr. Dennis (unclear), of 500 N. 24 Avenue, explained that the proposed
easement lease agreement currently under negotiation between
Western Materials and the property owners of Lots #10 and #11 would
grant a twenty (20) foot easement for as long as the current owners
own the homes.
Mr. Charles Beaver, of 65504 N. DeMoss Rd., Benton City, spoke in

after Ms. Fairbanks' case has been decided in court.
Motion carried unanimously.

MOTION: Ordinance No. 3372, was read by title only. Mr. Garrison
moved to adopt Ordinance No. 3372, rezoning Blocks 16, 17, 20 and 23,
A.M. Wehe's First Addition together with any vacated streets and alleys
adjoining thereto, from R-1 to RFAH-1 as recommended by the Planning

unanimously.
RESOLUTION NO. 2466
A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR
TOWN AND COUNTRY VILLAGE.
MOTION: Mr. Garrison moved to approve Resolution No. 2466,
approving the preliminary plat for the Town and Country Village. Mr.
Lathim seconded the motion.
Mr. Strode pointed out that the recommendation to the Planning
Commission states that the City would not accept any design which
does not provide gravity flow sewer service to each lot. Mr. Strode felt
that meant that each house must flow into the collector without a
pump in the house and it was not intended to prohibit the installation
of a collector pump system.
Mr. McDonald explained that with the proposed street configuration
there would be no need for pumps. That language was originally
intended to eliminate a pump station that the City would be required
to maintain.
Mr. Strode felt the language should be corrected in the resolution.
MOTION: Mr. Strode moved to amend the motion to strike condition
number 2 of the resolution. Mr. Garrison seconded the motion.
Mr. McDonald explained that the intent of the language was to let the
developer know that the City will not accept a lift station.
Mr. Kerr explained that if Council will strike the language after the
word "system" in Condition #2 it would provide that the sewer system
within the Columbia Plat shall be designed as a gravity flow system.
Mr. Garrison withdrew his second of Mr. Strode's amendment to the
original motion. Motion failed due to lack of a second.
MOTION: Mr. Strode moved to amend Item #2 of the resolution to
read "the sewer system in the preliminary plat shall be designed as a
gravity flow system". Mr. Garrison seconded the motion. The amended
motion carried unanimously.
The original motion, as amended, carried unanimously.
