MINUTES PASCO CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING PUBLIC HEARING - Continued: MAY 6, 1975 231 Mr. Orville Olson, Acct. Nos -122 & 123, objected to.assessment-.because he had joined forces with Medica -1 Arts Building for-the--improvement--of-Margaret and Park Streets prior to this proposed L.-I.D. He could not'justify an$75000 assessment for an $8,000 piece of property which is a vacant lot. He respectfully requested the deletion of Marie Street from°proposed L.I.D. Mr. Roger Olson stated• tfiat 5th &• Arthur Street shoul-d -be,-improved due to increased traffic, but he did not plan -on an$4,400-assessment•for Marie Street3which is not benefiting anyone. He reiterated that he -and his brother could not get their original investment out of -the lot, let alone'enough to,cover assessment too. He stated that this particular lot had been -up -for -sale for five years and they hadn't had a "nibble" on it. He, too, asked that-Marie'Stree t -be deleted from proposed L.I.D. until there was further improvement on -it. Mr. Olson stated that he had contacted,Sheriff Boyles -and--Chief.Tebaldi who mutually agreed that Margaret Street 'should b -e --widened from•Arthur-to- 4th due -to increased traffic since the new jail facility-was�completed., He felt that -the City Engineer should revise plan for Margaret Street and widen it. Again, -he reminded the Council that they were for improvement in Pasco, but did not think Marie Street benefited,'anyonellat this time; therefore, requested its deletion. Mr. Howard Baker, representing Medical Arts Building; endors'edproposed L.I.D. and stated that they would prefer taking out parking strips and widening Margaret Street. Mr. M.R. Denney, 712 W. Margaret,-stated�that if cars were parked on both•sides of street, it is impossible for two -cars, -to• pass• ---in center; -further; if you didn't widen Margaret between 4th & 5th, it would be a bottleneck: =c_ 1"; J?" W. Mr.:Roger Olson replied, -'•'take out th'e- parking •strip,on.Margaret-Street and -delete Marie Street." Mr. Ajax stated that the street, as designed, was intended for 52' street and .staffr,Ief-t"streetfthat=w ;dth for economical reasons. •,If•widened, -it would require more .paving and curb -&""gutter. Mr. Tidrick stated that he had ridden with City officials on various occasions and had never experienced a problem getting -in and out of -the jail facility parking. He asked if this could be tabled for•further discussion. Mr. Ajax responded -by- stating -that; if the property owners are ,in favor of L.I.D., we should go ahead in order to meet -time schedules.- At that time, Mr. Ajax reported on various widths of••streets. Councilman,Tidrick expressed concern -that we should set some type of standards in Pasco to alleviate different street widths. A gentleman in the audience asked, "why -not make streets wider for the future?" He felt that it was impossible to.-turn:big"trucks on such narrow streets. Mr. Wilkins replied that we have fixed rules in Pasco and if -you -want improvements, you will have to pay for them, besides you are not supposed to drive big trucks there. Mr. Schor asked Mr. Ajax, "if we delete Marie Street now, would the•cost b.e more expensive in the future?" Mr. Ajax replied negative - possibly 5% tncrea.s.e.. Following three (3) calls from Mayor -Linton for further comments from the floor, either for or against, the Public Hearing was declared closed. MAYOR LINTON DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF ROAD 27, FROM HOPKINS TO BONNEVILLE STREET: It•was reported that'the Hearirng had been duly published and posted: There were no written protests: TheCity Manager read Resolution of I,ntent,-outl-ining proposed L.I.D. area. Mr. Bill Ashton favored L.I•.D. and felt -all property owners adjacent to area did too.

There were no written protests. The City Manager --read Resolution of Intent, outlining improvement. Mr. Gene Wirth, Cloverleaf Lanes, asked why this was brought up again so soon when it had been defeated only three months ago and stated this was exactly the same as before only minus -sidewalks. He did not feel that'he was benefited by improvement and felt Mail Handling Facility generated'most'of the traffic; therefore, they should be considered too. Mayor Linton called attention to number of cars that Cloverleaf Lanes had most of the time and asked what their main complaint was. Mr. Ajax replied that common point of concern was incl.usion,of.sidewalks but this was not the only concern;;further,that proposed-.L.I.D. costs were reduced primarily by Engineering costs charged to the L.-I.D. and elimination of sidewalks. Mrs. Gerda Ormeshear opposed proposed L.I.D. as she felt she derived.no benefit whatsoever from improvement. Mr. Earl Warren stated that the Mail Handling Facility generated most of the traffic because when he was hooking up the new KONA Building, he had to flag" traffic in that area continually due to steady flow. To this, Mr. Ajax replied that traffic alone is not.the only criteria used. Mr. Schor-'reiterated that he has heard of problem on.that street for years,.yet, when improvement becomes a reality, no one seems to want it.- It becomes a.ddlemma on how to respond to public wishes. Cascade Broadcasting,definitely favors improvement at this time, and for a lot of County residents, this is the only access to Lewis Street.
