Mr. Duke Snider asked if any provision had been made for access to the property from the north. Mr. Ajax replied, "Yes," and referred to the memo and petition included with the Agenda, and stated that the request -for vacation is subject to the City of Pasco accepting Franklin County Irrigation District's dedication of the east 60' of the southwest quarter of the northwest quarter -of section 17. This means the dedication of the 60' right-of-way west of the westerly boundary of McLeod's addition that runs from Hillsboro outside of McLeod's addition on north to the point where access is provided to the property from the north. It is a condition of the request further on in the Agenda that if Council should give favorable consideration to the Ordinance, it would not be in effect until such time as the City of Pasco receives that dedication and that dedication is recorded.

Mr. Ajax pointed out the above on the map. Mr. Schuelein asked if the only entrance to this was at James Street. Mr. Ajax replied "Yes, it is the;only entrance that is presently developed." Mr. Schuelein inquired if this were adequate and stated that he thought it was very close to.,the interchange. Mr. Ajax confirmed that it is quite close to the interchange and not the best access in the world, but, with or without subdivision, it is the only access available to the site at this time. Mr•.,Snider asked if our water line.easement goes through there. Mr. Ajax replied, "Yes, we are at the preliminary plat stage, but our water line easement is clearly marked on the map." Mr. Schuelein mentioned that we could improve access into there. Mr. Ajax replied that the only methods that he is aware of have to do with siting and realignment. As far as alternate streets, he doesn't believe there is anything feasible at this point. This.w,ould have to come at such time as the property to the south develops and those property owners develop the streets at private expense as opposed to public expense. Mr. Snider s to ted that he thought we should keep this in mind when we are approached with a request to vacate those streets. Mr. Ajax mentioned that the staff has on file a document reviewed by Council which has been in effect for two or three years, which is a scheme of streets throughout the entire area and, in each case where vacation is requested, we are checking to make sure we do not have a "hop scotch" of streets. Following a call from Mayor Tidrick for further questions or comments from the Council or the floor, either for or against, the Public Hearing was declared closed.

Mayor Tidrick requested Mr. Ajax to point out the above on the map. Mr. Adams asked if East Broadway had been vacated and whether'it had been eliminated from the plat. Mr. Ajax s to ted that he was not sure. Mr. Adams said he was wondering what use it has there at the present time.

MAYOR TIDRICK DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN ON THE MOORE ZONE CHANGE: It was reported that the Hearing had been duly published and posted. 'Mayor Tidrick requested Mr. Ajax to point out the above on the map. Jim Ajax stated that some six or eight weeks ago, when there was concern at the time of the condition of that salvage yard, Mr. Moore came before the Council and indicated that the railroad right-of-way which he has used for a period of time, is very critical to his operation, and it was pointed out by staff that his present operation was, in fact, contrary to our zoning ordinance. It was suggested at that time that a solution would be to rezone a portion' of the railroad right-of-way'that Mr. Moore is using to allow his operation to be a permitted use of that zone and, for that reason, Mr. Moore has requested that that portion of railroad right-of-way be rezoned from I-1 to 1-2. Also, at that time the Council did indicate concern over the fencing of Mr. Moore's property. Although Mr. Moore has not completed his work, he has completed the lion's share of the work which was discussed with the Council.

Mayor Tidrick recessed this Public Hearing for two weeks. REPORTS FROM OFFICERS: FINANCE DIRECTOR - BUSINESS LICENCES: Mr. Snider stated that he noticed that we have a number of security licences and asked if background checks had been completed on all of these individuals, or is this required by an Ordinance. Chief Tebaldi replied that the checks are done after they have obtained a licence, before they are issued a permit. Mr. Snider stated that our Ordinance is rather ambiguous as to how these things transpire. If a person is licenced and then it is found they have a questionable background or are convicted of a felony or some such thing, is the licence then pulled. Chief Tebaldi replied that they are not issued a permit. 40`t ORDINANCES: ORDINANCE NO. 1794: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PASCO ADDING A NEW SECTION TO THE PASCO MUNICIPAL CODE ENTITLED SECTION 22.36.020, MOBILE HOME SUBDIVISIONS. -Ordinance No. 1794 was read by title only.
