SUBJECT: Metro Drug Task Force Interlocal Agreement
I. REFERENCE(S):
Proposed Agreement
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve the "Metro Interlocal Agreement" Local Narcotics
Control Program and Metropolitan Controlled Substance Enforcement Group Interlocal
Agreement and, further, authorize the Mayor to execute the Agreement.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The cities of Kennewick, Richland, Pasco and West Richland, along with Benton and
Franklin counties, have operated the Metro Drug Task Force through an Interlocal
Agreement for nearly 30 years.
The proposed Interlocal Agreement continues this enduring partnership by updating
language in context of current operations and modifies the formula used to determine
the status of equipment acquired for Metro in the event the agreement is subsequently
terminated (Section 7). The City of Kennewick will remain as the administrative
agency for Metro.
V. DISCUSSION:
Metro continues to play an integral role in combating controlled substances trafficking
within the Tri-Cities community; accordingly, staff recommends approval of the
updated Interlocal Agreement as presented.

METRO INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT
LOCAL NARCOTICS CONTROL PROGRAM
AND
METROPOLITAN CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE ENFORCEMENT GROUP
INTER-LOCAL AGREEMENT
This Interlocal Agreement is made and entered into pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 39.34
RCW, by and among the following parties:
City of Pasco
City of Kennewick
City of Richland
City of West Richland
Benton County
Franklin County
RECITALS
1. Prior to 1987, the Cities of Kennewick, Pasco, Richland, and West Richland, and the
Counties of Benton and Franklin, through their law enforcement agencies, maintained a
working agreement for the purpose of combating controlled substances trafficking within
the Tri-Cities community. This quasi-organized effort was known as the Metropolitan
Enforcement Group (“Metro”).
2. The original parties entered into an Interlocal Agreement in 1987 which provided a more
formal organization in order to centralize supervision and to qualify for federal funds
dispensed by Washington State’s Department of Community Trade and Economic
Development (“CTED”). In November of 1990, the Cities of Connell and Prosser desired
to also participate in the group, and the original parties desired to include them. In October
of 1991 and January of 1994, respectively, the cities of Prosser and Connell decided to no
longer participate. In December of 2004 the City of West Richland also decided to no
longer participate.
3. The financial officer of Kennewick initially administered a Metro Drug Forfeiture Fund
consisting of the proceeds of forfeitures, federal grants and court ordered contributions. In
Page 13 of 137
METRO INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT
Page 2 of 13
January 1990, the City of Pasco took over administration of the Metro Drug Forfeiture
Fund. In January of 2009 the City of Kennewick took over all administrative functions
except for financial administration. Effective July 1, 2009, the City of Kennewick took
over the financial administrative function and control of the Metro Drug Forfeiture Fund.
4. On December 30, 2009, the Cities of Kennewick, Richland and Pasco and the Counties of
Benton and Franklin entered into a revised Metro Interlocal Agreement reflecting this
transfer of administrative duties to the City of Kennewick.
5. In January 2010 the City of West Richland notified the member agencies of Metro of its
desire to rejoin Metro.
6. Also in January 2010 an Agreement was signed between the United States Department of
Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration/Yakima Resident Office (hereinafter referred to
as “DEA), and Metro. DEA agreed to assign two (2) Special Agents from the Tri-Cities
POD to assist/ support and work in conjunction with Metro. DEA would also, subject to
any availability of annually appropriated funds or any continuing resolution there, provide
necessary funds and equipment to support activities of the Special Agents. This support
will include: Payment for office space, investigative equipment, training and other support
items.
7. In 2013 the Cities of Kennewick, Pasco, Richland, and West Richland, and the Counties of
Benton and Franklin, through their law enforcement agencies, signed a Provisional State
and Local Task Force Agreement. This agreement provided that the Metro detectives
would be federally deputized as DEA Task Force Officers (“TFO’s”) pursuant to 21 U.S.C.
Section 878. These TFO positions would be “unfunded” positions.
8. The federal government has appropriated monies to the State of Washington to fund a
coordinated state-wide narcotics control program. These funds were administered by DCD
until the spring of 1993, at which time DCD became the State of Washington Department
of Community, Trade, and Economic Development (“CTED”). The Department of
Commerce or a successor state agency will continue to administer these funds.
9. Based upon established criteria, the parties are eligible to apply for a grant to assist them in
their efforts to combat controlled substances trafficking. Department of Commerce desires
to enter into a contract with one participating jurisdiction, to be named in the grant
application as the applicant jurisdiction, and which shall have the duty of administering the
grant on behalf of the participating jurisdictions.
10. The parties desire to enter into an Agreement to enable the applicant jurisdiction to receive
the grant, to administer the grant, and to be responsible for compliance with its terms on
behalf of the participating jurisdictions.
Page 14 of 137
METRO INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT
Page 3 of 13
11. The City of Kennewick has consented to act as the applicant jurisdiction with regard to
future applications to Department of Commerce and any funds supplied by a Department of
Commerce grant.
12. Chapter 39.34 RCW provides that local jurisdictions may enter into cooperative
agreements in order to best serve the needs of their local communities.

Participating jurisdictions shall incur, and pay individually, those expenses accruing to
activities or employees of their jurisdictions. Paid vouchers for reimbursable expenses are
to be transmitted to the Support Services Executive Director of the City of Kennewick
immediately after payment. The City of Kennewick shall request funds for grant

Page 7 of 13
Agreement with any other funds. The LNCPF shall be subject to the same audit and fiscal
controls as the public treasury of the City of Kennewick.
b. The City of Kennewick assumes the responsibilities of the applicant jurisdiction on behalf
of, and for the benefit of, all the jurisdictions that are parties to this Agreement. All the
jurisdictions shall share, on a pro-rata basis as set forth in Section 7.b, any loss other than a
loss covered by Section 10 of the Agreement suffered by any jurisdiction arising solely and
directly as the result of the City of Kennewick’s role as the applicant jurisdiction.
In the event that there is any recapture of grant funds by the Department of Commerce
pursuant to the provisions of the City of Kennewick contract with it, the jurisdictions shall
share responsibility on the pro-rata basis as set forth in Section 7.b of this Agreement.
However, in the event that there is a recapture of grant funds originally disbursed due to an
identifiable discretionary expenditure of any jurisdiction or agency, that jurisdiction or
agency shall bear the sole responsibility for payment and indemnify the City of Kennewick
for any loss of funds it may suffer due to any such recapture.
If any loss of funds, other than a loss covered by Section 10 of the Agreement, is covered
by a fidelity bond or other insurance, covering one of the jurisdictions employees, that
jurisdiction shall be responsible for said loss to the extent of the coverage provided by said
bond or insurance and any remaining loss shall be shared as set forth above.
c. The City of Kennewick shall administer the Metro Drug Forfeiture Fund, and it shall be
subject to the same audit and fiscal controls as the public treasury of the City of
Kennewick.
d. The Executive Board shall be responsible for the budget and all other administrative duties
of the LNCPF and of Metro. The Executive Board may delegate any or all of these duties
to the Governing Board. The Executive Board shall be responsible for submitting both the
LNCPF budget and the Metro Drug Forfeiture Fund budget to the City Council of the City

chairperson and vice-chairperson, meet at least twice a year, and adopt such procedural
rules to govern its meetings as it deems necessary.
e. The Governing Board shall meet at least quarterly, adopt such procedural rules to govern
its meetings as it deems necessary, and provide policy recommendations to the Executive
Committee regarding the LNCPF, Metro Drug Forfeiture Fund, Metro, and related Task
Force expenditures and operations, and may delegate any administrative duties delegated to
it.
f. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as authorizing any party or official of said
party to direct the Prosecuting Attorney or any Deputy Prosecuting Attorney in the
performance of his or her duties.
g. To comply with Metro’s obligation to respond to Public Records Requests, and to
minimize legal risk to each participating jurisdiction, the parties agree that all original
Page 19 of 137
METRO INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT
Page 8 of 13
police reports, correspondence, e-mail communications, or other “records” related to Metro
operations and investigations shall be provided to Kennewick and will be maintained by
Kennewick as the administrative agency. The parties agree that to the extent a participating
jurisdiction concludes it needs a copy, it may maintain a copy. When a Public Records
Request is received by Metro, administrative staff for Metro will complete a search for
responsive records and respond to the request. To the extent legal review is needed to
respond to a request the City Attorney for Kennewick will provide the review.
SECTION 7 – ACQUISITION AND USE OF EQUIPMENT
a. In the event that any equipment is acquired with grant funds received from Department of
Commerce, the parties agree to use the equipment only for specified program purposes
during the life of the grant. All equipment purchased by Kennewick on behalf of Metro
using grant funds shall be owned by the applicant jurisdiction, the City of Kennewick.
After the grant period ends, the parties agree to use the equipment only for controlled
substance enforcement purposes and to dispose of said property as set forth in Section 7.b
unless federal and state requirements provide for a different disposition.
b. Upon termination of this Agreement, all equipment contributed by the jurisdictions shall be
returned to the contributing agency. All property and equipment purchased with monies
from the LNCPF or with monies from the Metro Drug Forfeiture Fund shall be distributed
so as not to violate Section 7.a above, and on a pro-rata basis as set forth below, and this
property shall be used by the receiving party only for controlled substance enforcement
purposes unless federal and state requirements provide for a different disposition. The
Governing Board shall see to it that a separate inventory for property and equipment
purchased from each fund shall be kept and, if money from the LNCPF is used to
reimburse any other fund for any property and equipment purchased, the property or
equipment shall be transferred to the LNCPF inventory. This inventory shall go back to at
least January, 1988, and continue for the duration of this Agreement. Upon termination of
this Agreement, the items purchased with monies from the LNCPF fund or with monies
from the Metro Drug Forfeiture Fund shall be distributed to each participating jurisdiction
under a formula that divides the cumulative number of investigators or prosecutors
assigned to Metro by each jurisdiction starting with the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012,
and continuing through the most recently completed fiscal year by the cumulative total of
investigators or prosecutors assigned to Metro by all participating jurisdictions during this
same period. Jurisdictions shall only receive credit in the calculation for those
investigators that remain assigned to Metro for the entirety of a fiscal year. At such time
that a jurisdiction removes all of the investigators that it had previously assigned to Metro,
it shall also forfeit its right to any future distribution of accumulated assets under this
section and be removed from the calculation. As of September 30, the result of the formula
outlined in this section was as follows
Fiscal Year Ended September 30

a. All property, proceeds from property, and cash forfeited pursuant to RCW 69.50.505 by
Metro operations and all other contributions to the Metro Drug Forfeiture Fund shall be
managed and disbursed as provided in this Section. On or after July 1, 2009, all forfeited
property, all proceeds in the Metro Drug Forfeiture Fund and/or LNCPF fund and all
accounting records related to such were transferred from the City of Pasco to the City of
Kennewick.
b. The City of Kennewick shall administer the Metro Drug Forfeiture Fund and shall make
expenditures from the fund only as appropriately directed. All interest attributed to
investment of monies in the Metro Drug Forfeiture Fund shall be deposited into the fund.

contributions as well as funds disbursed by the federal government or other agencies
involving the enforcement of controlled substance laws. Disbursements from this fund
shall be for controlled substance enforcement purposes.
c. To the extent that RCW 69.50.505 requires that the forfeiture funds be deposited in the
current expense fund of the jurisdiction in which the forfeiture takes place, that requirement
shall be met by depositing said funds in the Metro Drug Forfeiture Fund. Forfeitures shall
be in accordance with RCW 69.50.505 or other applicable law and all funds which may be
retained by the local jurisdiction as a result of said forfeiture shall be deposited into the
Metro Drug Forfeiture Fund.
d. All property forfeited pursuant to Metro operations shall be immediately delivered to Metro
for use in Metro operations, unless use of such property is declined by the Governing
Board, in which case the jurisdiction in which the forfeiture took place may use the
property in accordance with RCW 69.50.505. The City of Kennewick shall see to it that a
property inventory is kept of all the property seized, whether or not it has yet been
forfeited, and of its sale or other disposition.
e. The Governing Board may authorize the transfer of forfeited property of any law
enforcement agency in this state upon application for the exclusive use of enforcing the
provisions of Chapter 69.50.505 RCW as now or hereafter amended.

f. Firearms confiscated as a result of Metro operations will be placed into Metro evidence and
the disposal of the firearms will occur after adjudication of the case in court and at the
direction of the Governing Board.
g. Upon termination, the Executive Director of Support Services of the City of Kennewick, or
his or her designee, using established governmental accounting standards shall determine
the balance of the LNCPF and the Metro Drug Forfeiture Fund available for distribution as
of the termination date. All jurisdictions shall share in the amount available for distribution
on a pro-rata basis as set forth in section 7.b. Any balances that become available for
distribution within the LNCPF and the Metro Drug Forfeiture Fund after the date of
termination, including but not limited to, the net proceeds derived from any property that
was seized or forfeited prior to the termination date, shall be distributed in the same
manner, Funds distributed may be used for the expansion of controlled substance
enforcement purposes and may not supplant pre-existing funding services unless otherwise
authorized by applicable law.
h. In order to ensure compliance with the Agreement, the parties agree that all forfeitures
made pursuant to RCW 69.50.505 by each party shall be disclosed to the Governing Board.
The Governing Board shall review each case to determine if the action was a Metro
operation. The decision of the Governing Board shall be binding upon all parties.
However, Metro operations shall expressly not include drug arrests and forfeitures which
are incidental to an unrelated activity, e.g., a routine traffic stop, arrests and forfeitures
from operations which were made after consultation with and agreement of the Metro
supervisor that Metro would not participate; and cases which are not considered a Metro
case for prosecution purposes.
SECTION 9 – ARBITRATION
The parties agree that any dispute arising from this Agreement relating to the distribution of
monies and or property or penalty provisions shall be submitted to an arbitrator for a binding
decision pursuant to Chapter 7.05 RCW unless the parties agree to another manner of arbitration.
If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator(s), the court shall appoint an arbitrator from a list
compiled as follows: each party shall submit a list of three persons not associated with any of the
parties who have agreed to act as an arbitrator and each party may strike up to two names from
the total list thereby compiled. The court shall select an arbitrator from among the names
remaining unless there is none, in which case the court shall select an arbitrator no associated
with any of the parties.
SECTION 10 – LIABLITIY
Each party shall be responsible for the wrongful or negligent actions of its employees while
assigned to Metro as their respective liability shall appear under the laws of the State of
Washington and/or Federal Law and this Agreement is not intended to diminish or expand such
liability.
Page 22 of 137
METRO INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT
Page 11 of 13
To that end, each party promises to hold harmless and release all the other participating parties
from any loss, claim or liability arising from or out of the negligent tortious actions or inactions
of its employee, officers and officials. Such liability shall be apportioned among the parties or
other at-fault persons or entities in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington.
Nothing herein shall be interpreted to:
a. Waive any defense arising out of RCW Title 51.
b. Limit the ability of a participant to exercise any right, defense, or remedy which a party
may have with respect to third parties or the officer(s) whose action or inaction give rise to
loss, claim or liability, including, but not limited to, an assertion that the officer(s) was
acting beyond the scope of his or her employment.
c. Cover or require indemnification or payment of any judgment against any individual or
Agency for intentionally wrongful conduct outside the scope of employment of any
individual or for judgment for punitive damages against any individual or Agency.
Payment of punitive damage awards, fines or sanctions shall be the sole responsibility of
the individual against whom said judgment is rendered and/or his or her Agency employer,
should that employer elect to make said payment voluntarily. This Agreement does not
require indemnification of any punitive damage awards or for any order imposing fines or
sanctions.
SECTION 11 – AMENDMENT
This Agreement may be amended from time-to-time as deemed appropriate by the parties,
provided that such amendment shall become effective only after it has been adopted in writing
by authorized representatives of each of the parties.
SECTION 12 – INTEGRATION
This Agreement and the application contain all the terms and conditions agreed upon by the
parties, except necessary operational agreements between the law enforcement agencies of the
respective jurisdictions pursuant to Chapter 10.93 RCW. No other understandings, oral or
otherwise, regarding the subject matter of this Agreement shall be deemed to exist or to bind any
of the parties. This Agreement shall expressly supersede all prior Agreements among the
jurisdictions regarding Metro creation, operation, and administration.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council May 24, 2017
TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager Regular Meeting: 6/5/17
FROM: Bob Metzger, Police Chief
Police Department
SUBJECT: Summer School Services Interagency Agreement
I. REFERENCE(S):
Proposed Interagency Agreement
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve the Interagency Agreement with Pasco School District
to provide School Resource Officers for the Summer School Programs at Pasco and
Chiawana High Schools, June 19 - July 7, 2017 and, further, authorize the Mayor to
execute the Agreement.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Pasco School District Funds - $12,865.56
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
School Resource Officers (SRO) are full-time uniformed police officers primarily
dedicated to providing law enforcement resource services to assigned schools and
surrounding neighborhoods. The Pasco School District has requested an extension of
the SRO services for the 2017 Summer School at Chiawana and Pasco High School.
Normally, SRO services are not provided during summer months; however, as a
proactive measure, the School District has requested SRO services for up to eight hours
each day of summer school. There are 14 summer school days from June 19 to July 7.
SROs are assigned to work normal patrol duties when school is not in session.
V. DISCUSSION:
The proposed Interagency Agreement is effective June 19 through July 7, 2017 and
provides two School Resource Officers for the 2017 Summer School. The School
District will reimburse the City for the salary and fringe benefits costs for two officers
Page 26 of 137
during 14 days of summer school. Council’s approval of the Agreement is all that is
required for the Police Department to proceed.
This item was discussed at the May 22 Workshop meeting. Staff recommends Council
approval.

And
City of Pasco, Washington
This agreement, pursuant to Chapter 39.34 RCW is made and entered into by and between the
Pasco School District No. 1, hereafter referred to as the “District” and the City of Pasco, a
municipal corporation of the State of Washington, hereafter referred to as the “City.”
No special budget or funds are anticipated, nor shall be created. It is not intended that a separate
legal entity be established to conduct this cooperative undertaking, nor is the acquiring, holding,
or disposing of real or personal property other than as specifically provided within the terms of
this Agreement, anticipated. The Chief of Police of the City of Pasco, Washington, shall be
designated as the Administrator of this Interlocal Agreement.
This Agreement shall be filed with the Franklin County Auditor, or alternatively listed by subject
on either parties’ website or other electronically retrievable public source.
It is the purpose of this agreement to:
1. Enhance the safety and security of students, teachers, staff, and visitors and provide
patrol of the various campuses of the District located within the City of Pasco,
Washington.
2. Provide for the presence of armed and uniformed City Police Officers both inside and
outside the school buildings on selected campuses of the District during certain school
hours in support of such safety and security and the maintenance of a secure and peaceful
learning atmosphere.
3. Provide for prevention, intervention, and prompt effective enforcement by the City’s
Police Department in situations involving, but not limited to:
a. Maintenance of order
b. Use, possession, or sale of illegal drugs and alcohol on school premises
c. Crimes against persons
d. Crimes against property
e. Any other situations or activities which require the intervention of law enforcement
officers; and
4. Provide for participation by police officers in the educational activities and role modeling
to foster and enhance knowledge of and respect for law enforcement and law
enforcement officers by students and the community.
5. Provide positive and supportive interface between law enforcement representatives and
the District’s substance abuse and harassment prevention efforts including, but not
Page 28 of 137
Interagency Agreement between Pasco School District No. 1 and the City of Pasco.

limited to Natural Helpers, Student Assistance Teams, Anti-Harassment and Bullying
Project and other intervention and prevention efforts by the District.

1. Statement of Work. The City shall furnish the necessary personnel and services and
otherwise do all things necessary for and incidental to the performance of the work stated
herein. The City shall:

SRO will be assigned to Pasco High School beginning June 19. Both officers are
responsible for responding to incidents at the other schools as needed during the
overlap period. Each SRO shall make certain that the Administration at their assigned
school is notified when they are required to respond to another school. Generally, the
quickest way to get an SRO to respond to an alternate school will be to call the
Franklin County Emergency Dispatch Center and request an SRO be sent to the
incident at a specific school. Except in incidents where a particular SRO may have
prior knowledge or involvement in a specific case or other extenuating factors, the
on-duty police supervisor will designate which SRO responds.
Office space shall be provided as available at each school for the use of the School
Resource Officer. Such office shall be equipped with one office desk and chair, and
one locking cabinet. The City shall provide a lockable cabinet capable of securing
police department equipment when not in use by the officer.

to insure effective communication and interrelation with the school community and
its students;

officers and the program;

designated by the District) to evaluate the effectiveness of the program;

complaints regarding the conduct of an assigned officer, share fully, as permitted by
law, with the District’s representative all results of such investigations for the purpose
of responding to each complaint and cooperate to resolve each complaint. Provided,

Proposed Resolution
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. __________, authorizing the City
Manager to execute an Interlocal Procurement Agreement with the City of Seattle,
Washington.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Under RCW Chapter 39.34, local government agencies may make purchases using
another agency's purchasing contract. This cooperation among agencies saves time and
maximizes savings through better pricing and terms.
V. DISCUSSION:
In February, Council approved $116,649 for the purchase of equipment to upgrade the
City's government TV channel broadcast signal to HD. The price was obtained from a
lowest-cost vendor identified through a bidding process undertaken by the City of
Seattle which staff accessed through a Cooperative Purchasing Agreement. At the
time, staff overlooked the need to have Council approve the interlocal agreement with
the City of Seattle. The attached resolution approves and ratifies the City Manager's
execution of the agreement. Staff recommends approval of the resolution in order to
correct the oversight and to continue to allow the City to access best pricing on items
which may be procured most efficiently and economically through the interlocal
Page 38 of 137
process.
This item was discussed at the May 22 Workshop meeting.

This project was part of the annual program that addresses the highest priority repairs
for the sanitary sewer lines as identified by the Operations staff. The project repaired
two existing sanitary sewer lines located at West Park Street and Road 36, and Sahara

pipe damage.
The project also provided for the partial replacement of two existing 8-inch gravity
sanitary sewer lines, with rehabilitation of existing joints, reconnection of side sewers,
surface restoration and appurtenances. The repairs allowed the existing system to
operate without leaks or backups and improved the City's capability to clean and
inspect these lines, maintaining the integrity of the Cit y's Sewer Collections system.
The project was advertised and bid in November 2016 with the lowest bidder being

REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION
MASTER FILE NO: PP 2017-003
HEARING DATE: 04/20/2017
ACTION DATE: 05/18/2017
APPLICANT: RP Development
6159 W Deschutes
Kennewick WA 99336
BACKGROUND
REQUEST: Preliminary Plat: Ferrara Place, 17-Lots (Multi-Family)
1. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:
Legal: Lot 21, Coles Estates and Lot B, Majestia Place
General Location: Just south of Majestia Lane between Roads 90 and 92
Property Size: 3.04 Acres
Number of Lots Proposed: 17 lots for zero-lot-line construction
Square Footage Range of Lots: 4,756 ft² to 6,365ft²
Average Lot Square Footage: 5,365 ft²
2. ACCESS: The property will have access from Roads 90 and 92
3. UTILITIES: Municipal water and sewer service will need to be extended
through the site, water from the east and west, and sewer from the west
in Road 92. Irrigation lines will need to be installed through the site and
extended the length of the site.
4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is zoned R-3 (Medium Residential)
Surrounding properties are zoned and developed as follows:
NORTH: R-1 – Single-Family Residences
EAST: R-1, R-3 – Single Family Residences
SOUTH: C-1 – Office Building, Vacant
WEST C-1 – Vacant
5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Comprehensive Plan designates the site for
either Mixed-Residential or Commercial uses. Goal LU-2 encourages the
maintenance of established neighborhoods and the creation of new
neighborhoods that are safe and enjoyable places to live. Goal LU-3-E
encourages the City to designate areas for higher density residential
development where utilities and other facilities enable efficient use of
capital resources. Policy H-1-E encourages the advancement of home
ownership and Goal H-2 suggests the City strive to maintain a variety of
housing options for residents of the community. Other goals and policies
suggest the City permit a full range of residential environments including
multi-family homes (H-2-A) and standards that control the scale and
density of accessory buildings and homes to maintain compatibility with
other residential uses (H-4-B). According to the Comprehensive Plan,
mixed residential development means 5 to 20 dwelling units per acre.
The criteria for allocation under the future land use section of Volume II
of the Comprehensive Plan (Vol. II, page 17) encourages development of
Page 58 of 137
2
lands designated for mixed residential uses when or where: sewer is
available, the location is convenient to major circulation routes, the site
serves as a transition between more intense uses and low density uses,
and when there is a market demand.
6. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City of Pasco is the lead
agency for this project. An environmental determination will be made
after the public hearing for this project. A Determination of Non-
Significance or Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance is likely for
this application (WAC 197-11-355).
ANALYSIS
The site was annexed in 1982 as part of the Northwest Annexation area. Upon
annexation the property was initially zone RT (Residential Transition) and later
zoned to C-1 (Retail Business). In February 2017 the site was rezoned R-3 in
anticipation of this Preliminary Plat.
The site is near the transition area as indicated in the Comprehensive Plan and
can be zoned for either mixed-residential or commercial development.
The applicant is proposing to subdivide the site in question into 17 lots to allow
the construction of up to 8 duplexes. Each duplex would occupy two lots with
the common lot line dividing each unit. This proposal for Ferrara Place is
similar to the process used for the development of the Island Estates Row
Homes in the Island Estates subdivision (Phase 8), Mediterranean Villas, and
Columbia Villas. Each of these subdivisions was zoned for multi-family
development and later platted into individual lots. The lots lines within these
subdivisions became the common boundary line separating the dwelling units.
LOT LAYOUT: The proposed Plat contains 17 lots; with the lots varying in size
from 4,756 square feet to 6,365 square feet. The proposal is consistent with
the density requirements of the R-3 zoning of the site.
RIGHTS-OF-WAY: All lots have frontage on a street which will be dedicated.
UTILITIES: Municipal water and sewer lines are located in Roads 90 and 92
at the east and west ends of the proposed plat. The developer will be required
to extend an 8 inch water line in the street connecting to and looping Roads 90
and 92, and an 8 inch sewer line connecting in at Road 92. The developer will
be responsible for extending utilities into the Plat.
A utility easement will be needed along the first 10 feet of street frontage of all
lots. The final location and width of the easements will be determined during
the engineering design phase. The front yard setbacks for construction
Page 59 of 137
3
purposes are larger than the requested easements; therefore the front yard
easements will not diminish the buildable area of the lots.
The City Engineer will determine the specific placement of fire hydrants and
streetlights when construction plans are submitted. As a general rule, fire
hydrants are located at street intersections and at a maximum interval of 500
feet and in accordance with the City’s Fire Protection Master Plan. Streetlights
are located at street intersections and at 300-foot intervals on residential
streets.
STREET NAMES: The street will be named prior to final platting.
IRRIGATION: The municipal code requires the installation of irrigation lines
as a part of the infrastructure improvements.
WATER RIGHTS: The assignment of water rights is a requirement for
subdivision approval per Pasco Municipal Code Section 26.04.115(B) and
Section 3.07.160. If no water rights are available to transfer to the City the
property owner/developer must pay a water right fee in lieu thereof.
FINDINGS OF FACT
State law (RCW 58.17.010) and the Pasco Municipal Code require the Planning
Commission to develop Findings of Fact as to how this proposed subdivision
will protect and enhance the health, safety and general welfare of the
community. The following is a listing of proposed "Findings of Fact":
Prevent Overcrowding: Density requirements of the R-3 zone are designed to
address overcrowding concerns. The Comprehensive Plan suggests the property
in question be developed with 5 to 20 dwelling units per acre. The proposed
Plat has a density of less than 8 units per acre. No more than 60 percent of
each lot is permitted to be covered with structures per the R-3 zoning
standards.
Parks, Open Space & Schools: City parks are located in Columbia Place
(Vintage Park) approximately 2,000 feet (.37 miles) away, and Island Estates
(Island Park), approximately 3,537.8 feet (.67 miles) away. The proposed
subdivision will be served by Maya Angelou Elementary School, McLoughlin
Middle School and Chiawana High School. As well, two more lots north of
Burns Road and north of the proposed subdivision have been recently
purchased by the Pasco School District in anticipation of further development.
The City is required by RCW 58.17.110 to make a finding that adequate
provisions are being made to ameliorate the impacts of the proposed
subdivision on the School District. At the request of the School District the City
enacted a school impact fee in 2012. The imposition of this impact fee
addresses the requirement to ensure there are adequate provisions for schools.
A school impact fee in the amount of $4,525 will be charged for each new
duplex unit at the time of building permit issuance. The School District has
Page 60 of 137
4
purchased two parcels north of Burns Road north the proposed subdivision for
the siting of future schools.
Effective Land Use/Orderly Development: The Plat is laid out for multi-
family development as identified in the Comprehensive Plan. The maximum
density permitted under the Comprehensive Plan is 20 dwelling units per acre.
The developer is proposing a density of 5.6 units per acre.
Safe Travel & Walking Conditions: The Plat is connected to Sandifur
Parkway, and Burns Road via Roads 90 and 92. Sidewalks will be installed at
the time homes are built on individual lots. These sidewalks will connect with
sidewalks to be built on Roads 90 and 92 which feed down to the existing
sidewalk on Sandifur Parkway.
Adequate Provision of Municipal Services: All lots within the Plat will be
provided with water, sewer and other utilities.
Provision of Housing for State Residents: This Preliminary Plat contains 17
residential building lots, providing an opportunity for the construction of at
least 8 duplex units.
Adequate Air and Light: The maximum lot coverage limitations and building
setbacks will assure that adequate movement of air and light is available to
each lot.
Proper Access & Travel: The streets through and adjoining the Plat will be
paved and developed to City standards to assure proper access is maintained
to each lot. Connections to the community will be provided by Sandifur
Parkway, and Burns Road via Roads 90 and 92. The Preliminary Plat was
submitted to the Transit Authority for review. (The discussion under “Safe
Travel” above applies to this section also.)
Comprehensive Plan Policies & Maps: The site is near the transition area
between mixed residential and commercial as indicated in the Comprehensive
Plan and can be zoned either mixed-residential or commercial. Policies of the
Comprehensive Plan encourage the advancement of home ownership and
suggest the City strive to maintain a variety of housing for residents.
Other Findings:
The site is within the Pasco Urban Growth Boundary.
The State Growth Management Act requires urban growth and urban
densities to occur within the Urban Growth Boundaries.
The site is relatively flat and slopes slightly from the north to the south.
The site is currently vacant.
Page 61 of 137
5
The site is not considered a critical area, a mineral resource area or a
wetland.
The site is near the transition area between mixed residential and
commercial as indicated in the Comprehensive Plan and can be zoned
either mixed-residential or commercial.
Mixed residential development is described in the Comprehensive Plan as
five to twenty dwelling units per acre.
The site is zoned R-3 (Medium Density Residential).
The site was zoned R-1 when it was annexed in June of 2016.
The site was rezoned R-3 in February of 2017 to provide an area of
transition between the more intense C-1 zoning just south of the project
and the less intense residential development in the Majestia Place
subdivision to the north.
The Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan encourages the
advancement of programs that promote home ownership and
development of a variety of residential densities and housing types.
The Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan encourages the
interconnection of neighborhood streets to provide for the disbursement
of traffic.
The interconnection of neighborhood streets is necessary for utility
connections (looping) and the provision of emergency services.
Per the ITE Trip Generation Manual 8th Addition the proposed
subdivision, when fully developed, will generate approximately 1,440
vehicle trips per day.
The current traffic impact fee is $709 per dwelling unit. The impact fees
are collected at the time permits are issued and said fees are used to
make traffic improvements and add traffic signals in the I-182 Corridor
when warranted.
The current park impact fee is $1,432 per dwelling unit.
Plat improvements within the City of Pasco are required to comply with
the 2015 Standard Drawings and Specification as approved by the City
Engineer. These improvements include but are not limited to water,
sewer and irrigation lines, streets, street lights and storm water
retention. The handicapped accessible pedestrian ramps are completed
with the street and curb improvements prior to final plat approval.
Sidewalks are installed at the time permits are issued for new houses,
except sidewalks along major streets, which are installed with the street
improvements.
Page 62 of 137

All engineering designs for infrastructure and final plat(s) drawings are
required to utilize the published City of Pasco Vertical Control Datum.
All storm water generated from a developed plat is required to be
disposed of per City and State codes and requirements. Prior to the City
of Pasco accepting construction plans for review the developer is required
to enter into a Storm Water Maintenance Agreement with the City. The
developer is responsible for obtaining the signatures of all parties
required on the agreement and to have the agreement recorded with the
Franklin County Auditor. The original signed and recorded copy of the
agreement is presented to the City of Pasco at the intake meeting for
construction plans.
The developer is responsible for all costs associated with construction
inspection and plan review service expenses incurred by the City
Engineering Office.
The City has nuisance regulations (PMC 9.60) that require property
owners (including developers) to maintain their properties in a manner
that does not injure, annoy or endanger the comfort and repose of other
property owners. This includes controlling dust, weeds and litter during
times of construction for both subdivisions and buildings including
houses.
Prior to acceptance of final plats developers are required to prepare and
submit record drawings. All record drawings shall be created in
accordance with the requirements detailed in the Record Drawing
Requirements and Procedure form provided by the Engineering Division.
This form must be signed by the developer prior to construction plan
approval.
The final plat will contain 10-foot utility easements parallel to all streets.
Additional easement will be provided as needed by utility providers.
CONCLUSIONS BASED ON INITIAL STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT
Before recommending approval or denial of the proposed Plat the Planning
Commission must develop findings of fact from which to draw its conclusion
(P.M.C. 26.24.070) therefrom as to whether or not:
(1) Adequate provisions are made for the public health, safety and
general welfare and for open spaces, drainage ways, streets, alleys,
other public ways, water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks,
playgrounds, transit stops, schools and school grounds, sidewalks for
safe walking conditions for students and other public needs;
The proposed Plat will be required to develop under the standards of the
Municipal Code and the standard specifications of the City Engineering
division. These standards for streets, sidewalks, and other infrastructure
Page 63 of 137
7
improvements were designed to ensure the public health, safety and general
welfare of the community are secured. These standards include provisions for
streets, drainage, water and sewer service. The Preliminary Plat was forwarded
to the Franklin County PUD, the Pasco School District and Ben-Franklin
Transit Authority for review and comment.
City parks are located in the subdivisions to the west and southwest of the site.
All new developments participate in establishing parks through the payment of
park fees at the time of permitting.
(2) The proposed subdivision contributes to the orderly development and
land use patterns in the area;
The proposed Plat makes efficient use of vacant land and will provide for the
looping of utilities and interconnectivity of streets as supported in the
Comprehensive Plan.
(3) The proposed subdivision conforms to the policies, maps and
narrative text of the Comprehensive Plan;
The site is near the transition area between mixed residential and commercial
as indicated in the Comprehensive Plan and can be zoned either mixed-

C.Preliminary Plat Ferrera Place, 17-lots (Multi-Family) (RP
Development) (MF# PP 2017-003)
Chairwoman Polk read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director, discussed the preliminary
plat application for Ferrera Place. This site may be familiar to the Planning
Commission as earlier in the year this site was rezoned to R-3; Planning Commission
recommended approval and Council approved the rezone. The plat is now following
the zone change for a 17 lot development on a little of 3 acres. It will eventually be
home to 8 duplex, common-wall construction dwelling units. The site has
development occurring all around it in all directions.
Commissioner Bowers asked for clarification on the number of units and the definition
of duplexes.
Mr. White answered that these will be two units connected, side by side, with the
property line running through them. This allows for one person to own one half and
another person to own the other half. It is very similar to Mediterranean Villas just
northwest of this site.
Steven Bowman, 7114 Maxim Court, spoke on behalf of his application. He clarified
that there will be 2 units with a common wall.
Commissioner Roach asked if each lot would have 2 units and confused why there
was an odd number proposed.
Mr. Bowman responded that each lot has one unit so there would be half the number
of individual structures.
Commissioner Bowers asked how there was an odd number if they are duplexes.
Mr. Bowman stated that one lot would only have a single unit/structure which
explains the odd number of lots. He addressed why one lot and road would jog out,
creating a tear drop shaped lot, to get the distance required by the City.
Commissioner Bowers asked if that jut out would be landscaped.
Mr. Bowman explained some of their ideas for that area of land but that it would be
beautified in some way.
Commissioner Bowers asked if it would be on him to beautify.
Page 75 of 137
Mr. Bowman answered yes.
Dave McDonald, City Planner, added that the applicant had considered using the
space for additional parking for guests of the homeowners.
Commissioner Mendez asked if there would be garages and if they are land locked,
such as, how will people access the duplexes.
Mr. White clarified the proposed preliminary plat and that it would not be land locked.
He explained where the new street would be located and that each lot would have
public street frontage.
With no further questions or comments the public hearing closed.
Commissioner Roach asked if it were duplexes or townhomes that were built near
Road 90 and Sophie Court.
Mr. White answered that those are single-family.
Commissioner Roach asked if the plat north of Sophie Court was multi-family.
Mr. White responded that it is single-family residences but all on 1 lot. It is a rental
property.
Commissioner Greenaway moved, seconded by Commissioner Bykonen, to close the
public hearing on the proposed subdivision and initiate deliberations and schedule
adoption of findings of fact, conclusions and a recommendation to the City Council for
the May 18, 2017 meeting. The motion passed unanimously.

REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION
MASTER FILE NO: SP 2017-006 APPLICANT: G2 Construction
HEARING DATE: 4/20/2017 7117 W Hood Place, Suite 110
ACTION DATE: 5/18/2017 Kennewick, WA 99336
BACKGROUND
REQUEST FOR SPECIAL PERMIT: Location of a Mini-Storage Facility in a C-1 Zone
1. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:
Legal: Lot 2 Binding Site Plan 2013-02 as adjusted by additional surveys.
General Location: The 6600 block of Chapel Hill Boulevard just north of the
Crossings at Chapel Hill Apartments
Property Size: Approximately 6.6 acres
2. ACCESS: The site has access from Chapel Hill Boulevard.
3. UTILITIES: Water and sewer lines are located in Chapel Hill Boulevard to the
south. Most of the proposed storage buildings will not require connection to
municipal sewer and water.
4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The property is zoned C-1* (Retail Business). The
zoning and land use of the surrounding properties are as follows:
NORTH: C-1/RT I-182 and the TRAC Facility/GESA Stadium
EAST: C-1 Vacant/Future Bethel Church
SOUTH: R-4/R-1 Apartments and SFDUs
WEST: C-1 Vacant/Future Retail
*(The site is located in the I-182 Overlay zone.)
5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The site is designated in the Comprehensive Plan for
future commercial uses. The Plan does not specifically address self-storage
facilities, but elements of the Plan encourage the promotion of orderly
development including the development of zoning standards for off-street
parking and other development. Policy LU-1-B encourages enhancement of the
physical appearance of development within the City. The Comprehensive Plan
(LU-4-A) encourages the location of commercial facilities at major intersection to
avoid commercial sprawl and avoid disruptions of residential neighborhoods.
Policy LU-2-D requires all development to be landscaped. ED-3-E suggests the
use of landscaping to provide a buffer between less intensive uses (such as
residential) from utilitarian areas of commercial and industrial facilities.
6. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City of Pasco is the lead agency for
this project. An environmental determination will be made after the public
hearing for this project. A Determination of Non-Significance or Mitigated
Determination of Non-Significance is likely for this application (WAC 197-11-
355).

ANALYSIS
The proposed site is a parcel located at the 6600 block of Chapel Hill Boulevard, just
north of the Chapel Hill Apartments, and south of I-182. The site is part of the Chapel
Hill Development which is a mixed use subdivision platted in 2005. The site was zoned
C-1 prior to platting in 2003. The site is located over 706 feet from Road 68. Following
the approval of the original plat for the Chapel Hill Development the developer further
divided the site through the Binding Site Plan process. The Binding Site Plan process
was repeated in 2013 creating additional commercial lots. The proposed mini-storage
facility will be located on all of Lot 2 contained within parcel # 117420159.
Mini-storage facilities are a conditional use that may be permitted only by the granting
of a Special Permit. Special Permit reviews and determinations are made based upon
the criteria listed in PMC Section 25.86.060. If it can be demonstrated that a mini-
storage facility will be in accordance with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan, that
it will be maintained in harmony with the existing or intended character of the
surrounding neighborhood, and that it generally supports the other criteria of PMC
Section 25.86.060, a Special Permit may be approved.
The applicant is proposing to develop Lot 2 of Binding Site Plan 2013-02 with a mini-
storage facility. The site plan indicates there will be six storage buildings and one
office plus retail space. The storage buildings will vary in size from approximately
7,720 to 23,000 square feet. The office will be approximately 2,304 square-feet and the
retail space, approximately 10,000 square-feet. In all, a total of around 112,000
square feet of new storage is proposed. Other mini-storage facilities within the I-182
Corridor have only been approved where land has been set aside for future retail or
office surrounding the storage facilities or where a retail and or office spaces has been
built to screen the mini-storage from surround streets. The Burden/Road 60 storage
facility is an example of that. The applicant’s plans include a retail presence along
the frontage of Chapel Hill Boulevard. The 10,000 square feet of retail office space will
create a visual buffer between Chapel Hill Boulevard and the mini-storage buildings to
the north.
The property is located in the I-182 Overlay zone which requires a higher standard of
development. The applicant’s proposal includes the construction of an office/retail
building with at least three architectural features meeting the I-182 standards. The
storage facility office and retail building will contain a mix of stucco and stone similar
to the Maverik strip center which also contain a mix of stucco and stone.
As discussed above the Special Permit review process allows the Planning Commission
to make a determination on whether or not a proposed use will be or can be
maintained in harmony with the existing or intended character of the neighborhood. It
is through this process that the Planning Commission may develop approval
conditions that would ensure the proposal will be established and operated in
harmony with the neighborhood. The intended character of the site and properties to
the west is retail commercial; property to the east was intended for commercial
development but, Bethel church has been granted a special permit to construct a
church on the property. In addition to the attractive exterior features of the
office/retail building to be built along Chapel Hill Boulevard the Planning Commission
Page 84 of 137
3
should at a minimum require all exterior facing walls and end caps of the mini-storage
buildings be constructed of architectural masonry block.
The site’s C-1 zoning permits a variety of commercial retail, office and service business
to locate on the property. An office complex with square footage comparable to the
proposed mini-storage facility would generate about 2,300 vehicle trips per day and a
similar sized retail shopping center would generate approximately 4,467 vehicle trips
per day. By comparison the Institute of Traffic Engineers Manual estimates the
proposed mini-storage facility will generate about 210 vehicle trips per day. The low
average from the manual places the daily trip at 125. Experience in Pasco has shown
that mini-storage facilities typically generate traffic at the lower end of the daily
average.
Based upon vehicular traffic to the site the proposed mini-storage facility would create
less noise, vibration and commotion than many permitted uses in the C-1 zone.
Additionally the hours of operation for a restaurant or tavern (both permitted uses)
could also have a greater impact on the neighborhood than a mini-storage facility.
FINDINGS OF FACT
Findings of fact must be entered from the record. The following are initial findings
drawn from the background and analysis section of the staff report. The Planning
Commission may add additional findings to this listing as the result of factual
testimony and evidence submitted during the open record hearing.
1. The site is located at the 6600 block of Chapel Hill Boulevard.
2. The site is accessed from Chapel Hill Boulevard.
3. Currently the site is approximately 6.6 acres in size.
4. Municipal sewer and water are currently located in Chapel Hill Boulevard to the
south.
5. The site is currently vacant.
6. The site is zoned C-1 (Retail Business).
7. The site is directly adjacent to a vacant lot to the east.
8. The site occupies a portion or all of the lot within Binding Site Plan (BSP) 2013-
02;
9. Uses permitted in the C-1 zone include motels, restaurants, retail stores,
offices, convenience stores and taverns/night clubs.
10. Mini-storage facilities in C-1 zones require special permits.
11. The apartment complex to the east beyond the vacant lot maintains a 20 foot
front yard setback.
12. The site is located within the boundaries of the I-182 Overlay District.
13. The provisions of the Overlay District call for a higher standard for development
than in other portion of the community.
14. Other mini-storage facilities within the I-182 Overlay District have only been
approved where land has been set aside for future retail or office space could be
built around the storage facilities or where offices and or retail facilities have
been constructed to screen the storage facilities from adjoining streets.
15. Estimates from the Institute of Traffic Engineers Manual 8th Addition indicate
the proposed mini-storage facility could generate about 125 to 210 vehicle trips
per day. By comparison the manual estimates a retail facility of similar size can
generate around 4,467 vehicle trips per day
Page 85 of 137

16. The applicant’s plans include an office/retail building to be constructed along
the Chapel Boulevard street frontage.
CONCLUSIONS BASED ON THE FINDINGS OF FACT
Before recommending approval or denial of a special permit the Planning Commission
must develop findings of fact from which to draw its conclusion based upon the
criteria listed in P.M.C. 25.86.060 and determine whether or not the proposal:
(1) Will the proposed use be in accordance with the goals, policies, objectives and text
of the Comprehensive Plan?
A mini-storage facility can be compatible with several Comprehensive Plan
policies.
Policy LU-1-B encourages enhancement of the physical appearance of
development within the City. The proposal would replace vacant land with a
well-developed facility with landscaped street frontage. Policy LU-2-D requires
all development to be landscaped. Development of the site currently includes
landscaping which support policies of the Comprehensive Plan (LU2-D). The
Comprehensive Plan (LU-4-A) encourages the location of commercial facilities at
major intersection to avoid commercial sprawl and avoid disruptions of
residential neighborhoods.
(2) Will the proposed use adversely affect public infrastructure?
All municipal utilities are currently available to the site from Chapel Hill
Boulevard. Water and sewer demands of the proposed use will be negligible
compared to permitted uses such as restaurants and similar uses. Impacts to
the adjoining streets will likewise be minimal due to the low volume of traffic
typically generated by mini-storage facilities.
(3) Will the proposed use be constructed, maintained and operated to be in harmony
with existing or intended character of the general vicinity?
The Comprehensive Plan (LU-4-A) encourages the location of commercial
facilities at major intersection to avoid commercial sprawl and avoid disruptions
of residential neighborhoods. The proposed site is zoned C-1 and is located on
Chapel Hill Boulevard near the Road 68/I-182 interchange. Due to the lack of
traffic and noise generated by mini-storage facilities the proposal may be more
in harmony with the neighborhood to the south and east than permitted uses.
Harmony with the neighborhood will be further achieved through
implementation of the I-182 building standards.
(4) Will the location and height of proposed structures and the site design discourage
the development of permitted uses on property in the general vicinity or impair the
value thereof?
Page 86 of 137
5
Structures in the C-1 zone are limited to thirty five (35) feet in height. None of
the proposed structures will approach 35 feet in height with the tallest
structure being about twenty five (25) feet in height.
The location of mini-storage facilities adjacent to residential neighborhoods
within the City has not resulted in complaints being forwarded to the City.
According to Franklin County assessors records the location of a mini-storage
facility immediately adjacent to the Sunny Meadows subdivision has not
impacted the assessed value of the homes directly north of the mini-storage
facility.
(5) Will the operations in connection with the proposal be more objectionable to nearby
properties by reason of noise, fumes vibrations, dust, traffic, or flashing lights than
would be the operation of any permitted uses within the district?
The City receives few to no complaints about the operations of mini-storage
facilities adjacent to residential neighborhoods Typically, mini-storage facility
generate far less traffic, noise, dust, etc. than some uses permitted in the C-1
zone; such as restaurants, taverns, night-clubs and car-washes.
(6) Will the proposed use endanger the public health or safety if located and developed
where proposed, or in any way will become a nuisance to uses permitted in the
district?
As a general land use, mini-storage facilities are not inherently dangerous to
public health or safety and do not generate nuisance conditions. Placing a retail
building and mini-storage buildings on this particular parcel may be beneficial
in that it will buffer occupied land to the south from freeway noise.

B.Special Permit Special Permit to Locate Mini-Storage Facility (G2
Commercial Construction LLC) (MF# SP 2017-003)
Chairwoman Polk read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
Darcy Bourcier, Planner I, discussed the special permit application to locate a mini-
storage facility. The parcel is located in the C-1 zone and is approximately 6.6 acres and
located just north of The Crossings at Chapel Hill Apartments. Mini-storage facilities
require special permits in the C-1 zoning district. The site is located in the I-182 Overlay
District and with that there are higher design standards in regards to landscaping,
building and signage. Other mini-storage facilities within the I-182 Overlay District have
only been approved where land has been set aside for future retail or office space. The site
plan indicates that there will be 6 storage buildings and 1 office plus retail space with a
total of roughly 112,000 sqft of new storage. The applicant plans include a retail presence
along the frontage of Chapel Hill Boulevard, such that the storage units themselves won’t
be seen from the street. The 10,000 sqft of office/retail space will create a visual buffer
between Chapel Hill Boulevard and the mini-storage buildings to the north. The
office/retail building will contain a mix of stucco and stone, similar to the Maverick Strip
Center and in this way will maintain the intended character of the neighborhood. The
proposed mini-storage would generate around 210 vehicle trips per day, where as a
similarly sized retail shopping center would generate around 4,400 vehicle trips per day as
projected by the Institute of Traffic Engineers Manual.
Commissioner Roach asked if this was the first time the City has seen a storage facility
with retail space connected in this manner.
Ms. Bourcier stated that she does not have the history to answer that question.
Dave McDonald, City Planner, responded that the other storage facilities mainly only have
offices and he listed some examples. He stated that a large facility on Sandifur Parkway
has reserved parcels in front of the mini-storage for future office buildings but they have
not been built yet.
Commissioner Bowers asked if this project if constructed, would kill the prospect of a
Target coming to that area.
Mr. McDonald answered that when Target was looking to locate to the community, they
had a site plan prepared for the property behind the Maverick Gas Station on the corner of
Road 68 and Sandifur Parkway. That parcel is still there and there is a parcel across the
street that is large enough to the north of the Maverick as well as a large parcel to the west
of Lowe’s. Then there is the south side of Road 68, west of this proposed site, and there is
a large area set aside for commercial as well as the Road 100 area.
Douglas Gunther, of G2 Construction, 7117 W. Hood Place, Ste. 110, Kennewick, spoke as
the contractor for the property owners and offered to answer any questions but stated that
the property owners would be the best to speak on their project.
Page 97 of 137

Susan and David Peachey, 4961 Olympia Street, Kennewick, spoke on behalf of their
special permit application. Ms. Peachey stated that they have been in the mini-storage
business for 33 years. They wish to make it a beautiful, Class A storage facility with a lot
of security and fencing blending into the neighborhood. They are excited to add the mini-
mall for commercial to the facility.
Commissioner Roach asked if the photo/drawing that was provided to the Planning
Commission was the actual design.
Ms. Peachey responded that it was.
Commissioner Bowers asked for clarification for parking of motor homes on their property.
Ms. Peachey answered that they will provide some covered parking for motor homes. RV’s
sales have increased in the past few years so there is an increased need for parking. They
will have covered spots as well as enclosed parking. As for the storage units, they will
offer 12-14 different sizes to meet various needs.
Commissioner Mendez asked if this facility would be open 24 hours.
Ms. Peachey responded that they will have controlled hours. Their current facility is open
from 7AM-8PM for security reasons. Often times the facilities open 24 hours have more
break-ins, theft and unwanted activities. There are other facilities that provide 24 hour
access for clients who need it.
Commissioner Polk asked if there would be any light pollution issues on Chapel Hill
Boulevard that would possibly disturb the nearby apartments.
Mr. & Ms. Peachey both responded that the light would be contained away from the
apartments. Ms. Peachey added that the lighting would be pointed downward in the rows
between the buildings.
Mr. Peachey said they could install deflectors if needed.
With no further questions or comments the public hearing closed.
Commissioner Bowers moved, seconded by Commissioner Greenaway, to close the public
hearing on the proposed special permit and set May 8, 2017 as the date for deliberations
and the development of a recommendation for the City Council. The motion passed
unanimously.

III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Sewer Utility Fund - $399,860.00
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The current Comprehensive Sewer Plan (Comp Plan) was completed in late 2013,
reviewed and approved by the Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE) in
early 2014 and adopted by the City Council in May of 2014. The Comp Plan evaluated
current conditions, projected growth, anticipated regulatory environment to identify
long-term capital improvement projects at the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)
and within the collection system that will allow the City to continue to meet the needs
of our expanding population and growing industrial base.
The improvements identified at the WWTP are intended to position the City to provide
for sufficient treatment capacity now and into the foreseeable future, comply with
current and anticipated regulatory requirements and upgrade, renew, or replace aging
components. A Facilities Plan and Engineering Report necessarily follows the
Comprehensive Sewer Plan process. The Facilities Plan and accompanying technical
Page 100 of 137
documents are necessary to refine the WWTP treatment concepts identified in the
Sewer Comp Plan through a detailed alternatives process supported by engineering
level calculations.
With the assistance Murray, Smith and Associates, Inc., (now Murrysmith), the City
completed the first phase of the Facilities Plan, consisting of an engineering effort to
identify and design operational and/or capital improvements that could be implemented
immediately to increase the overall capacity of the WWTP. Those improvements are
currently underway.
The second phase of the Murra ysmith's consulting effort, and the subject of this agenda
report, is the completion of the Facilities Plan and Engineering Report.
V. DISCUSSION:
The primary purpose of Murraysmith's scope of services is to assist the City of Pasco in
developing a Facilities Plan and Engineering Report for the existing wastewater
treatment plant (WWTP). By developing a Facilities Plan, eligibility for funding
assistance through Ecology’s water quality program phase will be expedited.
In order to create the Facilities Plan to document the processes in use at WWTP,
Murraysmith will:
• Perform general existing and age condition assessments of the components of
the WWTP;
• Update future WWTP treatment requirements based on population growth
projections;
• Analyze the liquid and solids processing alternatives at the WWTP;
• Develop appropriate and cost effective solutions; and
• Create a capital improvement plan for the required improvements.
Murraysmith will also provide design services for the remaining four immediate needs
projects.
Craig Anderson, P.E., a Principal Engineer with Murraysmith, will share the major
components required to create a Facility Plan as part of the presentation to Council.
The fee for the work proposed is the Not To Exceed Sum of $399,860. Staff
recommends approval of the proposed Professional Services Agreement with
Murraysmith.
This item was discussed at the May 22, 2017, Council Workshop Meeting.

None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
On April 20, 2017 the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to develop a
recommendation for the City Council on the preliminary plat for Chiawana Heights.
The proposed plat is located on Argent road east of the Chiawana High sports fields.
Following the hearing, the Planning Commission determined that with conditions, the
preliminary plat should be recommended for approval. The recommended conditions
are contained in the attached resolution.
No written appeal of the Planning Commission’s recommendation has been received.
Page 104 of 137
V. DISCUSSION:
This site contains approximately 30 acres that will be divided into 78 lots. The lots
will range in size from 10,011 square feet to over 16,807 square feet with an average
lot size of 10,979 square feet. This plat will be the second plat to develop on the DNR
property located between Road 84 and Road 68 south of I-182.
After the Planning Commission public hearing in April and deliberations in May were
concluded, staff developed concerns that proximity of the proposed access road to the
plat from the north side of Argent to existing RD 72 on the south side may present
safety issues – particularly as the remainder of the former DNR Section 16 property
develops and traffic loads continue to increase on Argent. Given the high volumes of
traffic on Argent at peak hours and at Chiawana start up and dismissal times, staff
recommends the City Council remand this plat back to the Planning Commission to
address the safety concerns and to explore possible mitigating measures related to
access to and from Argent Road.

REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION
MASTER FILE NO: PP 2017-005
HEARING DATE: 4/20/2017
ACTION DATE: 5/18/2017
APPLICANT: Derek Alexander
2090 Kingston Rd.
Richland, WA 99354
BACKGROUND
REQUEST: Preliminary Plat: Chiawana Place, (78-Lot Single Family
Subdivision).
1. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:
Legal: SW Quarter of the SE Quarter of Section 16, T9N,
R29E, WM
General Location: North side of Argent Road east of the Chiawana High
sports fields.
Property Size: 29 Acres
Number of Lots Proposed: 78 single-family lots
Square Footage Range of Lots: 9,907 ft² to 16,807 ft²
Average Lot Square Footage: 11,179 ft²
2. ACCESS: The property will have access from Argent Road and Road 76.
3. UTILITIES: Municipal water and sewer service are in Argent Road.
4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is zoned RS-1 (Suburban
Residential). Surrounding properties are zoned and developed as follows:
NORTH: R-1 – Vacant
SOUTH: RS-20 – Single-Family (County)
EAST: RS-1 – Single-Family and vacant land being developed
WEST RS-1 – Chiawana High Sports Fields
5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan indicates the site is
intended for low-density residential development. According to the
Comprehensive Plan, low-density residential development means 2 to 5
dwelling units per acre. The criteria for allocation under the future land
use section of Volume II of the Comprehensive Plan (Vol. II, page 17)
encourages development of lands designated for low-density residential
uses when or where: sewer is available, the location is suitable for home
sites, and there is a market demand for new home sites Policy H-1-E
encourages the advancement of home ownership and Goal H-2 suggests
the City strive to maintain a variety of housing options for residents of
the community. Goal LU-2 encourages the maintenance of established
Page 109 of 137
2
neighborhoods and the creation of new neighborhoods that are safe and
enjoyable places to live.
6. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City of Pasco is the lead
agency for this project. Based on the SEPA checklist, the adopted City
Comprehensive Plan, City development regulations, and other information, a
threshold determination resulting in a Determination of Non-Significance
(DNS) has been issued for this project under WAC 197-11-158.
ANALYSIS
The project site is located immediately east of the Chiawana High sports fields
on the north side of Argent Road. This site was part of the Road 68 DNR
property that the Planning Commission was involved in determining zoning
and the general layout of major streets. The applicant recently purchased the
site from the DNR and is now seeking preliminary plat approval in preparation
for development of single-family subdivision.
The site was initially designated for low-density residential development under
the 1982 Comprehensive Plan and again under the 1995 Plan and the updated
Plan of 2008. The property is zoned RS-1 (Suburban Residential).
The property is located between Argent Road and the FCID canal directly east
of Chiawana High School. A 20-inch water main was installed in Argent Road
across southern boundary of the site in 2004 and a sewer line was extended to
the southwest corner of the property in 2007 when Chiawana High School was
built. A 75 foot natural gas pipe line easement crosses the eastern third of the
property diagonally and presents challenges in the design and lot layout of the
proposed plat.
The natural gas pipe line easement will need to be identified as separate parcel
and improved with lawn prior to final plat approval. A home owners
association will also need to be established for the purpose of maintaining the
gas line easement. Village at Pasco Heights and Madison Park north of Burden
Boulevard are examples of other subdivisions that improved the gas line
easement with lawn and established an association to maintain the easement.
Without the landscaping and associated maintenance the gas line easement
will become a nuisance for the residents of the new plat.
LOT LAYOUT: The proposed plat contains 78 residential lots. The lots vary in
size from 9,907 square feet to 16,807 square feet. The proposal is consistent
with the density requirements of the RS-1 zoning on the site. The minimum lot
size for the RS-1 zone is 10,000 square feet. The single 9,907 square foot lot
does not meet the minimum lot size requirement. However, the municipal code
Page 110 of 137
3
(PMC 25.64: Planned Density Development) allows subdivisions to have a
variety of lots sizes as long as the overall density meets or exceeds the densities
permitted under the zoning classification. In this case the overall density is
determined by dividing the plat acreage (minus roads) by the minimum lot size
of 10,000 square feet. The resulting number is 94.74 lots. The applicant did
not specifically apply for a Planned Density Development. The Planning
Commission will need to determine what direction they want to take on this
issue.
Lots in RS-1 zones are required to have 90 feet of street frontage except in cul
de sacs. Lot, 20 only has 20 feet of frontage and is typical flag lot. Lot 20 will
need to be modified or absorbed into surrounding lots.
RIGHTS-OF-WAY: All lots have frontage on streets which will be dedicated.
Road 76 is only shown as a 60 foot right-of-way but should be an 80 foot right-
of-way. Road 76 is planned to connect north of the FCID canal through the
former DNR property. Currently, Road 76 is planned to go over I-182 to Road
76 on the north side of the freeway. This road is planned to be an 80 foot wide
collector type right-of-way
UTILITIES: Municipal water service is located in Argent Road. There is a
sewer trunk line running along the eastern boundary of the site and a sewer
manhole at the intersection of future Rd 76 and Argent Road. Utility lines will
be extended through the plat.
A utility easement will be needed along the first 10 feet of street frontage of all
lots. The final location and width of the easements will be determined during
the engineering design phase. The front yard setbacks for construction
purposes are larger than the requested easements; therefore the front yard
easements will not diminish the buildable area of the lots.
The City Engineer will determine the specific placement of fire hydrants and
streetlights when construction plans are submitted. As a general rule, fire
hydrants are located at street intersections and with a maximum interval of
500 feet between hydrants on alternating sides of the street. Streetlights are
located at street intersections, with a maximum interval of less than 300 feet
on residential streets, and with a maximum interval of 150 feet on arterial
streets. The intervals for street light placements are measure along the
centerline of the road. Street lights are placed on alternating sides of the
street.
STREET NAMES: The proposed street names will be added prior to final plat
approval.
IRRIGATION: The municipal code requires the installation of irrigation lines
as a part of the infrastructure improvements.
Page 111 of 137

WATER RIGHTS: The assignment of water rights is a requirement for
subdivision approval per Pasco Municipal Code Section 26.04.115(B) and
Section 3.07.160. If no water rights are available to transfer to the City the
property owner/developer must pay a water right fee in lieu thereof.
FINDINGS OF FACT
State law (RCW 58.17.010) and the Pasco Municipal Code require the Planning
Commission to develop Findings of Fact as to how this proposed subdivision
will protect and enhance the health, safety and general welfare of the
community. The following is a listing of proposed "Findings of Fact":
Prevent Overcrowding: Density requirements of the RS-1 zone are designed to
address overcrowding concerns. The Comprehensive Plan suggests the property
in question be developed with 2 to 5 dwelling units per acre. The proposed Plat
has a density of approximately 2.9 units per acre. No more than 40 percent of
each lot is permitted to be covered with structures per the RS-1 standards.
Parks Opens Space/Schools: City parks are located in Columbia Place and
Island Estates to the east and south. The City is required by RCW 58.17.110 to
make a finding that adequate provisions are being made to ameliorate the
impacts of the proposed subdivision on the School District. At the request of
the School District the City enacted a school impact fee in 2012. The
imposition of this impact fee addresses the requirement to ensure there are
adequate provisions for schools. A school impact fee in the amount of $4,700
will be charged for each new dwelling unit at the time of building permit
issuance. To prevent the gas line easement from becoming a dusty and weedy
eyesore it will need to be graded and covered in lawn. This will create an
attractive open space feature for the subdivision.
Effective Land Use/Orderly Development: The Plat is laid out for single-
family development as identified in the Comprehensive Plan. The maximum
density permitted under the Comprehensive Plan is 5 dwelling units per acre.
The developer is proposing a density of 2.9 units per acre. The proposed
development will include improvements to both Argent Road and Road 76.
The east half of Road 72 on the east is in the process of being vacated and will
end up functioning as an alley in conjunction with the FCID easement and
sewer easement along the eastern boundary of the plat.
Safe Travel & Walking Conditions: The plat will connect to the community
through the existing network of streets. Sidewalks are installed at the time
homes are built on individual lots. The sidewalks will be constructed to
current City standards and to the standards of the American’s with Disabilities
Page 112 of 137
5
Act (ADA). The ADA ramps at the corners of all intersection will be installed
with the construction of the road improvements and the sidewalks along Argent
Road and Road 76 will be installed with the infrastructure improvements.
Adequate Provision of Municipal Services: All lots within the Plat will be
provided with water, sewer and other utilities.
Provision of Housing for State Residents: This Preliminary Plat contains 78
residential building lots, providing an opportunity for the construction of 78
new dwelling units in Pasco.
Adequate Air and Light: The maximum lot coverage limitations, building
height restrictions and building setbacks will assure that adequate movement
of air and light is available to each lot.
Proper Access & Travel: The streets through and adjoining the Plat will be
paved and developed to City standards to assure proper access is maintained
to each lot. Connections to the community will be provided by Road 76 and
Argent Road. The Preliminary Plat was submitted to the Transit Authority for
review. (The discussion under “Safe Travel” above applies to this section also.)
Comprehensive Plan Policies & Maps: The Comprehensive Plan designates
the Plat site for low-density residential development. Policies of the
Comprehensive Plan encourage the advancement of home ownership and
suggest the City strive to maintain a variety of housing for residents.
Other Findings:
• The site is within the Pasco Urban Growth Boundary.
• The State Growth Management Act requires urban growth and urban
densities to occur within the Urban Growth Boundaries.
• The site is relatively flat and slopes slightly from the north to the south.
• The site is currently vacant.
• The site is not considered a critical area, a mineral resource area or a wet
land.
• The Comprehensive Plan identifies the site for low-density residential
development.
• Low-density residential development is described in the Comprehensive
Plan as two to five dwelling units per acre.
• The site is zoned RS-1 (Suburban Residential).
Page 113 of 137
6
• The Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan encourages the
advancement of programs that promote home ownership and
development of a variety of residential densities and housing types.
• The Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan encourages the
interconnection of neighborhood streets to provide for the disbursement
of traffic.
• The interconnection of neighborhood streets is necessary for utility
connections (looping) and the provision of emergency services.
• Per the ITE Trip Generation Manual 8th Addition the proposed
subdivision, when fully developed, will generate approximately 780
vehicle trips per day.
• The current traffic impact fee is $709 per dwelling unit. The impact fees
are collected at the time permits are issued and said fees are used to
make traffic improvements and add traffic signals in the I-182 Corridor
when warranted.
• The current park impact fee is $1,432 per dwelling unit. The fee can be
reduced by 58 percent if a developer dedicates a five acre park site to the
City. The dedication of a fully constructed park reduces the fee by 93
percent.
• RCW 58.17.110 requires the City to make a finding that adequate
provisions have been made for schools before any preliminary plat is
approved.
• The City of Pasco has adopted a school impact fee ordinance compelling
new housing developments to provide the School District with mitigation
fees. The fee was effective April 16, 2012.
• Past correspondence from the Pasco School District indicates impact fees
address the requirement to ensure adequate provisions are made for
schools.
• Plat improvements within the City of Pasco are required to comply with
the 2015 Standard Drawings and Specification as approved by the City
Engineer. These improvements include but are not limited to water,
sewer and irrigation lines, streets, street lights and storm water
retention. The handicapped accessible pedestrian ramps are completed
with the street and curb improvements prior to final plat approval.
Sidewalks are installed at the time permits are issued for new houses.
Except sidewalks along major streets, which are installed with the street
improvements.
• Water lines and fire hydrants are required to be looped.
• Per PMC 12.36.050 the developer must extend all utilities to and through
the subject parcel.
• All engineering designs for infrastructure and final plat(s) drawings are
required to utilize the published City of Pasco Vertical Control Datum.
• All storm water generated from a developed plat is required to be
disposed of per City and State codes and requirements. Prior to the City
Page 114 of 137
7
of Pasco accepting construction plans for review the developer is required
to enter into a Storm Water Maintenance Agreement with the City. The
developer is responsible for obtaining the signatures of all parties
required on the agreement and to have the agreement recorded with the
Franklin County Auditor. The original signed and recorded copy of the
agreement is presented to the City of Pasco at the intake meeting for
construction plans.
• The developer is responsible for installing irrigation lines shall be
installed per City of Pasco Standard Detail 3-1. Irrigation mains shall be
required along Chapel Hill Boulevard and internal streets. Existing
irrigation lines are available for connection at Messara lane and Moline
lane. Provisions for future irrigation connection with existing 14”
irrigation pipe, located per Franchise agreement 50185, will be required.
• The developer is responsible for all costs associated with construction
inspection and plan review service expenses incurred by the City
Engineering Office.
• The City has nuisance regulations (PMC 9.60) that require property
owners (including developers) to maintain their properties in a manner
that does not injure, annoy or endanger the comfort and repose of other
property owners. This includes controlling dust, weeds and litter during
times of construction for both subdivisions and buildings including
houses.
• Prior to acceptance of final plats developers are required to prepare and
submit record drawings. All record drawings shall be created in
accordance with the requirements detailed in the Record Drawing
Requirements and Procedure form provided by the Engineering Division.
This form must be signed by the developer prior to construction plan
approval.
• The final plat will contain 10-foot utility easements parallel to all streets.
Additional easement will be provided as needed by utility providers.
• A natural gas line easement is located in the eastern third of the
proposed plat. The gas line easement will need to be improved to prevent
it from becoming an eyesore and nuisance.
• There is a FCID irrigation easement and a City sewer easement along the
eastern boundary of the proposed plat.
CONCLUSIONS BASED ON INITIAL STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT
Before recommending approval or denial of the proposed Plat the Planning
Commission must develop findings of fact from which to draw its conclusion
(P.M.C. 26.24.070) therefrom as to whether or not:
(1) Adequate provisions are made for the public health, safety and
general welfare and for open spaces, drainage ways, streets, alleys,
Page 115 of 137
8
other public ways, water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks,
playgrounds, transit stops, schools and school grounds, sidewalks for
safe walking conditions for students and other public needs;
The proposed plat will be required to develop under the standards of the Pasco
Municipal Code and the standard specifications of the City Engineering
Division. These standards for streets, sidewalks, and other infrastructure
improvements were designed to ensure the public health; safety and general
welfare of the community are secured. These standards include provisions for
streets, drainage, water and sewer service and the provision for dedication of
right-of-way. The preliminary plat was forwarded to the PUD, the Pasco School
District, Cascade Gas, Charter Cable, franklin County Irrigation District and
Ben-Franklin Transit Authority for review and comment.
Based on the School Districts Capital Facilities Plan the City collects school
mitigation fees for each new dwelling unit. The fee is paid at the time of
building permit issuance. The school impact fee addresses the requirements of
RCW 58.17.110.City parks are located in the subdivisions to the west and
southwest of the site. All new developments participate in establishing parks
through the payment of park fees at the time of permitting.
(2) The proposed subdivision contributes to the orderly development and
land use patterns in the area;
The proposed Plat makes efficient use of vacant land and will provide for the
looping of utilities and interconnectivity of streets as supported in the
Comprehensive Plan. The proposed subdivision will provide arterial street
improvements along Argent Road and Road 76.
(3) The proposed subdivision conforms to the policies, maps and
narrative text of the Comprehensive Plan;
The Comprehensive Plan land use map designates the site for low-density
residential development. Low-density residential development is described as 2
to 5 dwelling units per acre in the Comprehensive Plan. The Housing Element
of the Plan encourages the promotion of a variety of residential densities and
suggests the community should support the advancement of programs
encouraging home ownership. The Transportation Element of the Plan suggests
major streets should be beautified with trees and landscaping. The Plan also
encourages the interconnection of local streets for inter-neighborhood travel for
public safety as well as providing for traffic disbursement.
(4) The proposed subdivision conforms to the general purposes of any
applicable policies or plans which have been adopted by the City
Council;
Page 116 of 137
9
Development plans and policies have been adopted by the City Council in the
form of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed subdivision conforms to the
policies, maps and narrative text of the Plan as noted in number three above.
(5) The proposed subdivision conforms to the general purposes of the
subdivision regulations.
The general purposes of the subdivision regulations have been enumerated and
discussed in the staff analysis and Findings of Fact. The Findings of Fact
indicate the subdivision is in conformance with the general purposes of the
subdivision regulations provided certain mitigation measures (i.e.: school
impact fees are paid.)
(6) The public use and interest will be served by approval of the proposed
subdivision.
The proposed Plat, if approved, will be developed in accordance with all City
standards designed to insure the health, safety and general welfare of the
community are met. The Comprehensive Plan will be implemented through
development of this Plat. These factors will insure the public use and interest
are served.

PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
5/20/2017
D.Preliminary Plat Chiawana Place, 78-lots (Single-Family) (Derek
Alexander) (MF# PP 2017-005)
Chairwoman Polk read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
Dave McDonald, City Planner, discussed the preliminary plat application for Chiawana
Place. This piece of property was part of the larger DNR property that the Planning
Commission looked at roughly a year ago when the zoning was being determined.
DNR has since sold several parcels off, this being one of them. It is a 29 acre parcel
zoned R-S-1, which requires larger lot sizes in the 10,000 sqft. range. The applicant
has laid out the parcel with 78 lots with 1 connecting street to Argent Road and
another connecting street to future Road 76 so that would divide this property from
the sports fields of Chiawana High School.
The property has some development constraints in that the Williams gas pipeline runs
through the property diagonally so no building can occur on that and it is set aside as
a separate parcel. Like other gas line easements to the north in Madison Park and
Village at Pasco Heights, the developer will be required to grass the area with irrigation
and set up a homeowner’s association to maintain the area so it doesn’t become a
nuisance with weeds and dust. They will have to coordinate with the gas company in
Salt Lake City, UT when they get ready to do that. Provided in the report is the
mandatory analysis and review of the items that the state law and municipal code
require the Planning Commission to look at in terms of layout, right-of-way, utilities,
irrigations, water rights, etc. Another issue to look into is that 1 lot is just under
10,000 sqft. The applicant has the option to try and shuffle some of the property lines
one way or the other to get that up to 10,000 sqft. or the Planning Commission could
treat it as a planned density development. In a planned density development project,
which the applicant didn’t apply for, some lots can be smaller than 10,000 sqft. and
some can be bigger than 10,000 sqft. as long as the average density doesn’t exceed
what would be allowed to be built with all of the lots being 10,000 sqft. Many of the
subdivisions to the north of the highway were developed that way. Another concern
with the plat is that in the right side of the plat at the end of the cul-de-sac there is a
flag lot with 20 feet of frontage. In the R-S-1 zone with lots of 10,000 sqft. the
requirement for frontage is 90 feet. Also, typically flag lots are frowned upon so that
will need to be modified somehow. Just to the east of the property there was a
dedicated right-of-way vacated recently by City Council and an easement there for the
sewer trunk line that serves properties on the north side of the freeway. There is also
an irrigation line and easement there and that stretch will have to be used designated
as an alley. Lastly, the BPA power poles along Argent Road are in the way a little bit
and the street will have to be offset slightly once constructed.
Commissioner Roach asked if the gas line easement will affect building a roadway
above it.
Page 129 of 137
Mr. McDonald responded that it would not. They would just have to coordinate with
the gas company and there are some easement documents they may have to sign to
allow that to go in. Some of the requirements in the past have been that underground
they have to put a layer of concrete over the section where the pipe is and then put the
rock and pave on top of that.
Commissioner Roach asked if the Madison Park development is north of Burden
Boulevard where there is a greenway belt.
Mr. McDonald said that was the Village of Pasco Heights. Madison Park is north of
Sandifur Parkway east of Road 52 across from the new Rosalind Franklin STEM
Elementary School.
Commissioner Roach asked if there would be any issues in taking the planned density
development route for this project versus the currently preliminary plat approval.
Mr. McDonald responded that in this case it might be easier because of the flag lot
problem in which work could be done in shifting the lots in order to get the 10,000
sqft. on the lot.
Commissioner Bowers asked if Road 72 will run north.
Mr. McDonald stated that Road 72 will no longer be a road, it will become an alley on
the east side of the plat.
Commissioner Bowers asked how there would be access without the flag lot.
Mr. McDonald answered that they may have to rearrange it and there may not be a
flag lot there – he could lose one lot and the square footage of that lot could be shared
with the other parcels.
Commissioner Bowers asked if Lot 16 was the other lot in question.
Mr. McDonald was unsure but it was the lot up against the irrigation canal.
Commissioner Roach asked why it is called a flag lot.
Mr. McDonald said it’s because it is shaped like a flag with a pole. It creates a
situation where you build a house behind someone else’s house and sometimes
creates conflicts with neighbors.
Commissioner Greenaway asked about how Road 76 would be place 3 houses in and if
it wouldn’t be better to put the road at the top for better traffic flow where the cul-de-
sac is.
Mr. McDonald said there is going to be a little bit of a problem at that end because
Page 130 of 137
there will have to be a bridge built over the canal and the bridge may be raised a little
bit.
Commissioner Greenaway asked if it would create traffic problems or a pileup.
Mr. McDonald said that with the way it is proposed the traffic will be able to move
north or south.
Derek Alexander, 29 Kingston Road, Richland, WA spoke on behalf of his application.
He stated that he is a newcomer in terms of developing in Pasco but not in the
development world. He is a part of a father and son development team. They had
some land that they didn’t have use for 10 years ago and decided to start developing
on it and since that time have developed 100 acres in West Richland, approximately
250 residential lots. They work with roughly 3-4 builders at a time. Most homes will
be in the $300,000-$450,000 range and would like to form some covenants.
Commissioner Roach asked how many developers will be working on this project.
Mr. Alexander responded that so far 2 but possibly others – they will open it to
builders they have already worked with and mentioned some of their builders.
Steve Bowman, 7114 Maxim Court, spoke in support of this project. He said that he
has worked with Mr. Alexander and would recommend him for the Pasco community.
With no further questions or comments the public hearing closed.
Commissioner Roach asked if the flag pole lot is included in the tentative approval
conditions as needing to be eliminated or if it needs to be discussed with the
applicant.
Mr. McDonald replied that he can’t remember but he will need to discuss it with Mr.
Alexander before the preparation of the final report. Staff will also need to talk to all of
the individuals who purchased the DNR property on how the bridge across the canal
will be coordinated and built. The last one built on Road 84 was completely funded
and built by AHO Construction to connect Road 84 to Argent Road.
Commissioner Roach asked if the appropriate motion would be to extend this public
hearing to next month.
Mr. McDonald stated that Staff can work with the applicant so the hearing can be
closed.
Commissioner Bykonen asked if the planned density development would have to be a
separate application that would have to be started all over again.
Mr. McDonald responded that typically it is but in this case that wouldn’t be needed.
Page 131 of 137
Commissioner Mendez wanted to remind the Commission about traffic implications
with the increase of single-family homes. He asked if traffic would be diffused with
different access points.
Mr. McDonald answered yes, this plat will have 2 separate access points; 1 to Argent
Road and 1 to Road 76 and Road 76 will then connect to Chapel Hill Boulevard which
will allow traffic to go up that way and turn either east or west to traffic signals on
Road 68 or Road 100.
Commissioner Polk asked for clarification of it would be between 77-78 lots.
Mr. McDonald stated that it just depends on what they do with the flag lot. He felt
that they were going to lose a lot.
Commissioner Roach moved, seconded by Commissioner Greenaway, to close the
hearing on the proposed preliminary plat and set May 18, 2017 as the date for
deliberations and the development of a recommendation for the City Council. The
motion passed unanimously.

C.Preliminary Plat Chiawana Place, 78-lots (Single-Family) (Derek
Alexander) (MF# PP 2017-005)
Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
Dave McDonald, City Planner, discussed the preliminary plat application for Chiawana
Place. He noted changes to the staff report and plat since the previous meeting and
referenced the revised plat layout that was handed out to the Commissioners prior to
the meeting. Prior issues discussed at the previous hearing regarding a smaller than
allowable lot size, lot frontage and a flag lot have been resolved. The developer
redesigned the plat without losing any lots and the plat meets city code.
Commissioner Roach asked if the redesigned plat takes the gas line into consideration.
Mr. McDonald responded that it does; the gas line easement remained in the same
spot and there are no homes infringing upon it.
Commissioner Bowers moved, seconded by Commissioner Mendez, to adopt findings of
fact and conclusions therefrom as contained in the May 8, 2017 staff report. The
motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Bowers moved, seconded by Commissioner Greenaway, based on the
findings of fact and conclusions as adopted the Planning Commission recommend the
City Council approve the preliminary plat for Chiawana Place with conditions as listed
in the May 18, 2017 staff report. The motion passed unanimously.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council May 31, 2017
TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager
Rick Terway, Interim Public Works Director
Regular Meeting: 6/5/17
FROM: Troy Phillips, Division Manager
Public Works
SUBJECT: Bid Award - WWTP Immediate Needs Mechanical Package
I. REFERENCE(S):
Vicinity Map
WWTP Immediate Needs Mechanical Package Work Map
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to award the WWTP Immediate Needs Mechanical Project to
Industrial Constructors, Inc., in the amount of $223,716.00 and further, authorize the
City Manager to execute the contract documents.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Water/Sewer Utility Fund - $223,716.00
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Funding for improvements to the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) were included
in the 2017 annual budget. Consultant MurraySmith had projected an immediate needs
budget of $445,00000 necessary to address three (3) primary high impact/low cost
operational enhancements whose implementation will significantly increase WWTP
capacity. Those three enhancements are: Chemically Enhanced Primary Treatment
(CEPT), Intermediate Clarifier Modifications, and Trickling Filter Modifications. The
WWTP Immediate Needs Mechanical Package provides the necessary installation of
associated valves, piping, and appurtenances designed to aid in the increase of plant
capacity, also included in the project is the application of a concrete coating system to
be applied to certain existing surfaces to extend their life.
Notice of the bid opportunity was published through the City's MRSC Roster on May
19, 2017.
Page 134 of 137
V. DISCUSSION:
On May 24, 2017, the City received one (1) bid for the project from Industrial
Constructors, Inc., in the amount of $223,716.00.
The bid includes all necessary mechanical work for each of the immediate needs
(CEPT, Intermediate Clarifier, and Trickling Filter). Given the complex nature of
completing work on three disparate systems simultaneously and within the desired
timeframe of July 1, 2017, in addition to the current regional construction boom which
has the contract workforce capable of this work already at capacity, the receipt of a
single bid was not unexpected. On similar projects statewide, municipalities are
experiencing a 30-50% bump in project costs on smaller projects during the current
construction season.
Staff has reviewed the bid submittal and found no exemptions or irregularities and,
therefore, recommends award of the contract to Industrial Constructors, Inc. of
Kennewick, Washington.
