PUBLIC HEARING: Mayor Carter read the Notice of Public Hearing as follows: "Please take notice that a Public Hearing will be held by the City Council of the City of Pasco, Washington, on Tuesday, July 20, 1965 at the hour of 8:00 P.M. (PDST) in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, City of Pasco, Washington, to review the proposed new zoning ordinance for the City of Pasco. THEREFORE, LET ALL CONCERNED TAKE NOTICE of the time, place and purpose of such public hearing that they may appear to present their objections or support for the proposed ordinance." THE MAYOR DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN: RALPH ECKER asked about area south of Columbia Street (C-3 to I-1) and proposed I-1 instead of C-3. MR. MUZATKO- HOPKINS'CONSTRUCTION'COMPANY wanted to go on record as recommending I-1 Zone. BERT CHURCHILL, WESTERN -OIL 6 -GAS ASSOCIATION felt that service stations in a C-2 Zone would increase safety, cars could be serviced while customers are shopping downtown and nothing could be gained by not allowing service stations in a C-2 Zone. Councilman Wiseman answered Mr. Churchill by stating that a lot of time, work and preparation had gone into the new zoning ordinance and it was with future growth in mind that the ordinance has been proposed. Mr. Churchill further recommended that if we felt the service stations were substandard in appearance, the City could set up certain standards relative to design, landscaping, etc. for the stations to meet. Councilman Griggs felt the service station situation in the downtown area should be studied as he would rather see service stations than vacant buildings. BOB CHAMBERLIN touched briefly on R-1 area (Primarily, the vacant land between By -Pass Highway 6 Court Street) and felt this was too wide an area to be zoned solely R-1. Mr. Balderson, of the Planning Commission, indicated to Mr. Chamberlin that this area (East of Airport) could go industrial. Later, they could decide what the zoning should be. Mr. Chamberlin further stated he objected to everything being zoned R-1 because it would take Council action to make a change. Motion made by Bailey, seconded by Griggs that the matter be tabled for further study and report back at the August 3, 1965 Regular Meeting. Motion Carried. THE MAYOR DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED: 96 j l _ PASCO$ WASHINGTON COUNCIL CHAMBERS REGULAR MEETING COMMUNICATIONS: JULY 20, 1965 CITY CLERK requested refund in the amount of $15.00 for LaRelle Gregory, whose application for home beauty salon was denied by Planning Commission.

WASHINGTON STATE GRANGE: A letter of thanks was read as follows: "I am writing to especially thank you and all your people for the wonderful way you welcomed us during our recent 76th Annual Convention in Pasco.

PETITIONS, APPEALS, COMPLAINTS, VISITORS: HAROLD SHAHAN YAKIMA OFFICE OF STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION: Mr. Shahan commented t a- t e reeway was completed prior to scheduled date and possibly, it was a mistake due to sign confusion. He suggested several proposals for the City's consideration, namely: 1. The signing of North 4th Avenue as a service area(Gas, Food, Lodging). 2. Lewis Street to be signed as business route with route markers. 3. Study "A" Street truck route signing as most truckers would rather use freeway. 1 PASCO, WASHINGTON COUNCIL CHAMBERS REGULAR MEETING JULY 20, 1965 Mr. Menasco directed the following questions at Mr. Shahan for the State's reconsideration: Was there any action by the State Highway Commission to control speed zones? On the By -Pass Highway right of way, what is the Highway Department's policy on directional signing; also, that there had been comments of the stop signs being too small. The Manager further inquired if the City could install additional signing at City expense whereby Mr. Shahan stated the State would rather do it them- selves. He did not, however, think the State would have any objection to business route markers. Mr. Shahan commented that the State would work with the City of Pasco in any way they co u ld to correct the signing and road situation. CHARLES KILBURY: , on behalf of Railroad Labor Council, thanked the City Council or t eir assistance in providing an access road to the Railroad Icehouse. Mr. Kilbury then asked the Council to take another look at the new Solicitor Ordinance as he felt it was unfair to charge businessmen a City of Pasco business license plus a Solicitor's license if he were soliciting business within the City. Mr. Kilbury was informed by the Council that they would look into the Ordinance.
