Mr. Duane Taber, 117 S. 3rd, protested the merit of L.I.D. No. 84. In the beginning, the L.I.D. was created as a means of < providing additional parking spaces in the downtown area as well as an incentive to shop down town Pasco.Because there is no Ordinance enforcing the 2 -hour parking limit, employees of various businesses have been using the lots for all day parking. He stated that many hours had gone into the planning of the improvement and acknowledged Howard Baker and Howard Young in the audience as members of that steering committee. He called attentionto minutes of various meetings as well as reading a letter from Dennis Scott of U.R.S., recognizing the parking problem. He concluded by stating, "this is a poor attitude on the part of present council for their many years of service." Councilman Grigg concurred a problem existed but felt confident that the Council had not turned their backs on it, but due to change of City Managers, it was -caught in the interim. Mr. Snider asked that this subject be placed on next workshop agenda so that some type of positive action could be taken. Mr. Howard Baker, co-owner of Baker & Giles, C.P.A.'s, was critical that City Hall employees were using their private parking lot. Mr. Howard Young expressed concern that Ceta personnel were using the lot on South 4th Street all day. Further, he paid for parking spaces for his employees, and without an Ordinance which would restrict parking in the downtown area to two fl hours, he felt he derived no benefit from present L.I.D. PUBLIC HEARINGS; MAYOR BAILIE DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN ON TOMMY'S STEEL & SALVAGE, CONTINUED FROM AUGUST 21, 1978: Mr. Snider moved to continue the hearing on Tommy's Steel & Salvage to November 20, 1978.

BAILIE DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN TO CONSIDER AN AMENDMENT OF TITLE 22, TO REVISE PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS. --It It was reported that the hearing had been duly ,publ i shed and posted. There were -,a> .! . 1 no written communications. Mr. Crutchfield called attention to the fact that the Planning Commission amended Paragraph C which reduced the 300 feet to 200 to define the area in which 20% of the owners of property can require a 2/3 majority vote of the council. However, it was the City Planner's recommendation;to stay at 300 feet in order to be consistent. Following three (3) calls from Mayor Bailie for further comments from the floor, either for or against, the Public Hearing was declared closed. MINUTES PASCO CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING PUBLIC HEARINGS - Continued: OCTOBER 16, 1978 MAYOR BAILIE DECLARED THE•PUBLIC HEARING OPEN TO CONSIDER AN AMENDMENT OF TITLE 22, ZONING, TO BROADEN THE SCOPE OF CONCOMITANT AGREEMENTS. It was reported that the hearing had been duly published and posted. There were no adverse communications. Following three (3) calls from Mayor Bailie for further comments from the floor, either for or against, the Public Hearing was declared closed. MAYOR BAILIE DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN TO CONSIDER MARY BUCKMAN REZONE REQUEST FOR THE SW CORNER OF INTERSECTION OF 20TH AVENUE AND AGATE STREET, FROM R-1 to C-1. It was reported that the hearing had been duly published and posted. There was a petition presented in opposition from adjacent property owners. Mr. Gary Crutchfield, Planner, stated the Planning Commission recommended C-1 zone for this particular piece of property, subject to Concomitant Agreement which would limit it to professional office building. Mr. Steve Cutler, 1721 N. 22nd, opposed high rise type building for area but would not oppose a single story office building. He asked for clarification of professional vs. office building. Staff responded to Mr. Cutler's question. Mr. Archie Hunt, 1935 Agate, called attention to heavy truck traffic on North 20th, plus number of trucks parked daily on lot north of Chamberlin Office Complex. While he did not favor a C-1 zone change, he stated he would not object to attractive single story office building as they had traffic problems enough right now. Mr. Lowell Allen, 1931 W. Ruby, stated there was a regular "bottleneck" on North 20th now with CBC traffic; further, if the City was not going to enforce tonnage of trucks allowed on North 20th (posted signs state nothing over 7 tons), they should take the signs down. Mrs. Marilyn Despain expressed concern for small children's safety in area. A letter of support for the C-1 zone change was received from Mrs. Floy Durham, owner of adjacent lot. Mr. Gary Saylor, 1936 Ruby, charged, "you should try to retain people in Pasco instead of driving them out with spot zoning of this type." Mr. Jack Cooney, 1712 N. 20th, commended the Council for L.I.D. as it had improved the area vastly. He concurred that trucks parked there on a daily basis and, in fact, a helicoptor had set down there and blew weeds all over. He, too, reminded the Council that North 20th was not built for trucks. Mr. Grigg felt that an R-3 zoning might be more favorable for area than a C-1 zone. To this, Mr. Snider disagreed on the basis he would rather see an office building as opposed to an apartment complex for this particular piece of ground. Mr. Wilkins suggested (per Concomitant Agreement) that single story limit be placed on property. Mr. Grigg reiterated that this should be sent back to the Planning Commission to tighten up restrictions, spell out height, landscaping etc. He then asked Mrs. Buckman what her plans were for development of the property. She replied she had none - this -.was where she thought she should start. Mr. Grigg then responded, as one councilman, that he had reservations about approving a zone change without a definite plan in mind. Mr. Snider asked if we would have to re -notify all property owners if we continued the hearing? The City Attorney responded that we should notify property owners of new hearing date. Mr. Grigg moved to continue this hearing until April 16, 1979. Seconded by Mr. Wilkins. Motion carried by roll call vote of six (6).
