Several word changes were suggested to conform with Pasco's Municipal Code. MrDainhy,)Morenos,;i 5618 W. Umatilla, Kennewick, Washington, suggested that the Council postpone any action on this Ordinance until he has heard back from the Attorney General on the merits of such legislation (or legality). He felt this }� - was unfair leverage against citizens (petition method) to be forced into annexation. In his opinion, the only fair way to determine whether or not citizens wanted to be annexed into the City was by election. Councilman Snider defended proposed Ordinance on the premise that citizens wanted City services such as water, sewer and Police/Fire protection, but they did not want to pay for it. He felt it was unfair to City residents to pay the tax burden for such services and allow County residents the same privileges when they did not wish to be a part of the City. Mr. Morenos agreed that County residents would have to forego City services to a lesser degree; however, they chose that route as a means of living within their incomes.

NEW BUSINESS: 1 RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN COMMERCIAL ZONE: Mr. & Mrs, Darrell Peterson propose to replace an existing home on 13th Lane & Washington with a new, small single- family Armstrong Home. Much of the area is zoned C-1; however, it appears to be what is left of an older, small "residential" neighborhood. Almost all the land area south of "A" Street and west of 10th Avenue is zoned for commercial use. The 1963 Comprehensive Plan promotes the maintenance of a low density residential neighborhood in this area, assignment of commercial zoning has existed since 1964. This vicinity is exposed to a mixture of industrial and commercial uses, is hemmed in by a rail line, and consists of less than 40 total acres. Councilman Snider could see no problem with construction of the home asihb had not seen any noticeable difference in the area for the last fifteen years. Councilman Grigg concurred,too,as he had driven through the area in question and noticed there were a number of small, well kept homes there. A representative of Armstrong Homes stated Mr. Peterson was willing to sign an Affidavit expressing his support for any future L.I.D.'s, if necessary. Mr. Schmidt moved that the proposal for residential construction, submitted by Armstrong Homes, on behalf of Mr. u Mrs: Darrel Peterson is in the public interest and is hereby approved.
