Letter from Tri-Cities Hotel Lodging Association President dated June 23, 2017
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to reappoint Monica Hammerberg (Hampton Inn & Suites) to a
two-year term on the Tri-Cities Regional Hotel/Motel Commission, term to expire
August 31, 2019.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Pasco, along with the cities of Kennewick and Richland, entered into an interlocal
agreement in June 2004 to create a regional "Tourism Promotion Area" (TPA). The
TPA is an organization formed as authorized by state law to levy special assessments
for the use of lodging facilities within the respective area. In the case of the Tri -Cities,
all hotels/motels within the boundaries of the three cities are required to collect from
users of their facilities the fee of $2.00 for each room night used. That fee is remitted
by each of the hotels/motels to the state; the state, in turn, distributes the funding back
to the respective cities within which it was collected (much like the long-standing 2%
hotel/motel tax) and the cities distribute it to the TPA for expenditure in accordance
with the business plan and budget established by the Regional Hotel/Motel
Commission
The Regional Hotel/Motel Commission is established under Section 5 of the Interlocal
Agreement. The Commission consists of six voting members; two appointed by each
of the three cities from nominees offered by the Tri-City Hotel Lodging Association.
Any vacancy is to be filled by the respective city from a list of nominees offered by the
Association.
Page 13 of 125
The Tri-Cities Hotel Lodging Association, as evidenced by the June 23 letter,
recommends Monica Hammerberg be reappointed.
V. DISCUSSION:
Mayor Watkins recommends Council concurance in his reappoint of Ms. Hammerberg
as recommended by the Tri-Cities Hotel Lodging Association, without interview.

Community & Economic Development
SUBJECT: CDBG Substantial Amendment 2016.1 (MF# BGAP2017-006)
I. REFERENCE(S):
Proposed Resolution - Based on Planning Commission Recommendation
Planning Commission Minutes Dated: 6/15/17
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. _______, amending the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Allocations and Annual Work Plans for Program
Years 2016 and 2017.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Council passed Resolution Nos. 3578, 3658, and 3731 approving the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) budget for program years 2015-2017. The
resolutions approved unfunded and partially funded eligible projects such as Pasco
Specialty Kitchen facility improvements, downtown revitalization, safety and sidewalk
improvements, as contingencies.
Close-out of prior year projects in 2014, 2015, and 2016 and a change in priority needs
for 2016 and 2017 infrastructure projects results in unobligated funds totaling $133,367
for reprogramming. Program income from payoff of prior year CDBG rehabilitation
loans totaling $40,100 must be allocated and used.
Page 19 of 125
A “minor amendment” to the approved plan occurs when a revision is made to the
priority needs, in the method of distribution of funds, when an activity not previously
identified in the plan is added, or when the purpose, scope, location or beneficiaries of
an activity are changed. It requires only City Manager review and approval.
A “substantial amendment” to the plan occurs when the original purpose of the project
is changed to a new eligible category, or when a change in the allocation exceeds 10
percent of the individual City’s current year’s CDBG allocation, including program
income. It requires the same level of review and approval as the Annual Work Plan and
Allocations.
V. DISCUSSION:
Staff presented recommendations for funding at the June 15, 2017 Planning
Commission meeting. The Planning Commission recommended approval of funding
recommendations as presented. There are some minor adjustments to the Planning
Commission funding recommendation to balance with the HUD Integrated
Disbursement and Reporting System (IDIS), and to account for the 2017 entitlement
allocation which was unknown when the Planning Commission staff report was
prepared. The proposed resolution attached includes projects meeting both "minor
amendment" and "substantial amendment" criteria for the record.
Council discussed this item at the July 10, 2017 workshop meeting.

PLANNING COMMISISON MINUTES
June 15, 2017
A. Block Grant Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Substantial Amendment to Annual Action Plan
2016 and 2017 (MF# BGAP 2017-006)
Chairwoman Bykonen read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director, discussed the CDBG
Substantial Amendment to the 2016 & 2017 Annual Action Plan. With the amount of
money the City receives from HUD, roughly $650,000-$675,000 per year, there are
sometimes activities that come in under budget or the project gets cancelled over the
course of the year to affect the budget item that the Planning Commission
recommended and that City Council approved. In this case, the City has exceeded the
10% of its yearly allocation in terms of “changed funds for projects” which is why it
has come back to the Planning Commission and will then go to City Council. Roughly
$275,000 has been cancelled in projects and with program income of almost $78,500
there is nearly $354,000 to reallocate.
The staff memo includes the breakdown of where the available money is recommended
to be funded. Some of the funds will go to the Catholic Families Volunteer Chore
Services who help build handicap ramps at the homes of low-moderate elderly
families. Other funds will be allocated to help with home rehabilitations, which was
previously awarded to Community Action Connections (CAC) who have not used the
funds. However, the City has taken this project back as there are projects that the
funds could be used for. There is also an item for new community housing programs –
Rebuilding Mid-Columbia. This organization applied for CDBG funds for the 2017
program year but at that time they had not received their 501(c)(3). They now have
their 501(c)(3) and will be partnering with the City to complete housing projects. This
will give their organization the experience and training while helping the City complete
these projects but the money will be funneled through the City while they will be
bringing in the projects. It will be much like a mentoring relationship and will assist
the City. Staff is also recommending additional funds be allocated to the Pasco
Specialty Kitchen, partially by reallocating the Commission recommended to the
façade – more money was spent on the flooring project and the façade project will still
be facilitated. The Downtown Façade Improvement Program received funding as we
are at a point now where some projects can be accomplished. Money is also being
spent now on the Peanuts Park project located downtown and staff is recommending
more funds to be allocated to that project as well. So public money is being reinvested
downtown and hopefully that will spur private investments downtown. The first phase
will be the renovation of Peanuts Park and Farmer’s Market. The second phase will be
at the intersection of 4th Avenue and Lewis Street, setting up for the third phase,
which is a festival street on 4th Avenue west of the Farmer’s Market to be used for
festival space. A couple of projects were closed/cancelled. The sidewalk in front of the
Senior Center was cancelled, as the money for that came from the funds from the
Police Department Building and the Downtown Sidewalks project was closed because
those improvements will happen when the Lewis Street Underpass project is under
Page 22 of 125
construction in roughly 2019.
Commissioner Bowers said when these projects were first brought to the Planning
Commission, Angie Pitman, Block Grant Administrator, had recommendations for the
allocations. Now since there is an adjustments in funds, what is before the
Commission at this time are the recommendations for reallocations.
Mr. White stated that was correct.
Commissioner Bowers asked about programs, such as the Martin Luther King Center
staff funds, and why those projects didn’t receive additional reallocated funds.
Mr. White responded that those are annual funds and didn’t need additional monies.
Commissioner Greenaway stated that she was happy to see that the City was
partnering with Rebuilding Mid-Columbia to repair homes.
Mr. White responded that it is a really good thing because there aren’t enough
community housing based programs. It also assists with funds with the HOME
program.
Commissioner Campos added that many federal grant programs requires
organizations to have so much experience in order to receive funds so this would allow
for Rebuilding Mid-Columbia to gain the experience they need to be able to apply for
additional federal funds.
Commissioner Alvarado asked what the scope was for Rebuilding Mid-Columbia and
what did they intend to grow into.
Mr. White stated that they are a community housing based improvement program and
they most likely want to become a lot like Habitat for Humanity, which is the only
other community housing base administrator in the area.
With no further questions or comments the public hearing closed.
Commissioner Bowers moved, seconded by Commissioner Greenaway, to close the
public hearing and recommend the City Council approve the use of funds for the
Community Development Block Grant Program as set forth in the “2016.1 Fund
Summary” as recommended by Staff. The motion passed unanimously.

Resolution
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to adopt Resolution No. ______, accepting work performed by
Planned & Engineered Construction, Inc., unde r contract for the 2016 Annual Sewer
Re -Lining project.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
$253,750 - Utility Fund (Sewer)
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
This project rehabilitated 5,578 linear feet of 8 -inch through 15-inch diameter sanitary
sewer pipe using heat or ultraviolet light Cured -In-Place Pipe (CIPP) in the area south
of I-182 east from 9th Avenue and west from 4th Avenue. This project is part of the
budgeted annual sewer relining program that addresses the higher priority relining for
the sanitary sewer lines.
Gravity sanitary sewer lines, subject to rehabilitation, are concrete pipelines with signs
of deterioration. The proposed relining allo ws the existing system to operate without
leaks, as well as improve the City's capability to clean and inspect these lines,
maintaining the integrity of the City's sewer collections system and extending its
service life.
Page 24 of 125
On November 17, 2016 the City rec eived four (4) bids for the project. The lowest bid
was from Planned & Engineered Construction, Inc. in the amount of $252,495.00. The
Engineer's Estimate was $249,435.74 which didn't include contingencies taken into
consideration for total project budget approved by Council.
On December 5, 2016 Council awarded the contract to Planned and Engineered
Construction, Inc. of Helena, Montana.
V. DISCUSSION:
The project was successfully completed within the allotted contract time and the work
meets project specifications.
Total budget for the project was $300,000 with final project costs including,
engineering & inspection, totaling $277,235.22. There was minimal construction cost
increase due to an increase in lining quantity for larger diameter pipe over the
estimated quantities in the original contract.
Staff recommends Council's acceptance of this work.
This item was discussed at the July 10, 2017 Council Workshop.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
As a result of an economic development opportunity, the Midland Lane Extension
project, South of Sandifur Parkway, surfaced late in 2015. The project afforded the
opportunity to bundle with it a planned traffic signal project at Midland Lane and
Sandifur Parkway that addresses current conditions and allows for an economy of scale
savings. On July 5, 2016, Council approved the addition of the project to the 2016
Capital Improvement Plan.
The project included construction of a new south leg of the Sandifur Parkway and
Midland Lane intersection, which ends in a cul-de-sac. The project also added a new
traffic signal and accessible pedestrian signals at the intersection. Other work
associated with the extension of the street included extension of utilities, addition of
Page 29 of 125
catch basins with infiltration trenches for stormwater runoff, addition of street lighting,
upgrading all ADA curb ramps at the intersection to meet current requirements, and the
addition of sidewalk.

Premier Excavation Inc., with the total bid amount of $412,297.58. On October 3,
2016, Council awarded this project to Premier Excavation Inc.
V. DISCUSSION:
The project was successfully completed within the allotted contract time and the work
meets project specifications.
The final project construction contract totaled $408,207.20. This final cost came just

Resolution
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to adopt Resolution No. ______, accepting work performed by
C&E Trenching, LLC., under contract for the Road 38 Stormwater Retrofit project.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
$53,737.80 - Utility Fund (Storm)
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
In early 2016, City Staff recognized a stormwater issue located in the vicinity of Road
38 and Court Street. The configuration of street improvements on Court Street caused a
significant amount of stormwater to be channeled by the curb and gutter and conveyed
to properties located on Road 38.
Due to the potential for damaging the abutting properties, City Staff determined that it
was necessary to install improvements to capture and infiltrate the stormwater
generated by this two block stretch of Court Street.
This project installed two new catch basins on Road 38 and one new catch basin on
Court Street to alleviate an existing stormwater issue. All stormwater collected in the
catch basins will be routed to a newly installed infiltration trench in Road 38.
Page 33 of 125
On November 17, 2016, the City received four (4) bids for the project. The low bid was
from C&E Trenching, LLC, in the amount of $51,201.53. The second lowest bid was
received from Moreno & Nelson Construction in the amount of $82,693.47. The
Engineer's Estimate was $72,300.45.
On November 28, 2016 the project was awarded to C&E Trenching, LLC for
$51,201.53
V. DISCUSSION:
The project was successfully completed within the allotted contract time and the work
meets project specifications.
The final project construction contract totaled $53,737.80, representing a 4.95%
increase over the original bid price. The minimal cost increases were due to additional
pavement, sidewalk, and curbing restoration beyond the estimated quantities in the
original contract.
Staff recommends Council's acceptance of this work.

Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. _______, accepting a Notice of Intent
to Commence annexation proceedings for the D & D Annexation area and providing a
determination on the boundary, zoning and indebtedness related thereto.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The owners of a four acre parcel of land located on the east side of Road 68, located
305 feet south of Argent Road, have submitted a Notice of Intent to Commence
Annexation.
The Notice of Intent has been reviewed by staff and has been determined to contain
sufficient signatures to initiate the annexation process. Notices of Intent are required to
contain the signatures of property owners representing at least 10 percent of the
assessed value of an area proposed for annexation. In this case, the Notice of Intent
contains the signatures of owners representing 100 percent of the assessed value within
the proposed annexation area.
Page 45 of 125
Council considered the proposed annexation at the Special Meeting of July 10, 2017.
V. DISCUSSION:
Typically staff tries to include more than one parcel with an annexation petition. Often
nearby parcels with annexation agreements are added to a petition to annex a larger
area. In this case there are only a few annexation agreements on near by properties
making it difficult to increase the annexation boundary. Staff recommends moving
forward with the proposed annexation as submitted and reserve the nearby annexation
agreements for a larger annexation in the future.

REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION
MASTER FILE NO: PP 2017-004
HEARING DATE: 5/18/2017
ACTION DATE: 6/15/2017
APPLICANT: RP Development
6159 W Deschutes Ste 509
Kennewick, WA 99336
BACKGROUND
REQUEST: Preliminary Plat: Riverhawk Estates, (199-Lot Single Family
Subdivision).
1. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:
Legal: NW Quarter of Section 16, T9N, R29E, WM
General Location: The southeast corner of Road 84 and Chapel Hill
Property Size: 54.5 Acres
Number of Lots Proposed: 199 single-family lots
Square Footage Range of Lots: 7,200 ft² to 13,031 ft²
Average Lot Square Footage: 7,814ft²
2. ACCESS: The property will have access from Chapel Hill Boulevard and
Road 84.
3. UTILITIES: Municipal sewer service is located in the eastern third of the
property. Water service is located at the intersection of Moline Lane and
Road 84.
4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is zoned RS-1 (Suburban Residential).
Surrounding properties are zoned and developed as follows:
NORTH: R-3 – Vacant
SOUTH: R-1 – Vacant (location of Chiawana Heights)
EAST: R-1 – Vacant
WEST R-1 – Loviisa Farms
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 65 of 125
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 Loviisa Farms subdivision
bordered on the north by the future extension of Chapel Hill Boulevard and on
the south by property that will be developed as the Chiawana Heights
subdivision. Chiawana Heights is an 80-lot single-family development similar
to the proposed Riverhawk subdivision. 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 a few years ago. The applicant recently
purchased the site from the DNR and is now seeking preliminary plat approval
in preparation for development of a 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 R-1 (Low Density Residential).
The proposed plat will provide additional lots within the Urban Growth Area
(UGA) for single-family homes consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The old
DNR site is one of the few large remaining areas within the UGA to be
developed. The proposed plat can be considered an infill development on
property that was passed over during the time most of the I-182 Corridor was
developed.
The proposed plat is part of a larger parcel that extends easterly to the
alignment of Road 76 and southerly to the FCID irrigation canal. The applicant
will be developing the large parcels in phases. As such the developer will be
responsible for developing a portion of Road 76 and a portion of the canal
crossing for Road 76.
LOT LAYOUT: The proposed plat contains 199 residential lots. The lots vary in
size from 7,200 square feet to 13,031 square feet. The average lot size is 7,814
square feet. The proposal is consistent with the density requirements of the RS-
1 zoning on the site. The minimum lot size for the R-1 zone is 7,200 square
feet.
Page 66 of 125
3
RIGHTS-OF-WAY: All lots have frontage on streets which will be dedicated. The
east half of Road 84 will be finished with this subdivision to match the
improvements that were installed on the west side of the street during the
development of Loviisa Farms. The south half of Chapel Hill Boulevard will also
be constructed along the northerly boundary of the Plat.
UTILITIES: Municipal water service runs north and south in Road 84.
Irrigation lines are stubbed across Road 84 at Moline Lane. There is a sewer
trunk line running through the eastern third of the site. 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
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:"
Page 67 of 125
4
Prevent Overcrowding: Density requirements of the R-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 3.6 units per acre. No more than 40 percent of
each lot is permitted to be covered with structures per the R-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.
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 4 units per acre. The proposed
development will include improvements to both Road 84 and Chapel Hill
Boulevard.
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 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 Chapel Hill
Boulevard Road 84 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 199
residential building lots, providing an opportunity for the construction of 199
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 84 and
Page 68 of 125
5
Chapel Hill Boulevard. 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 with undulating hills and a slight slope to the
south.
• The site is currently vacant.
• The site is not considered a critical area, a mineral resource area or a
wetland.
• 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 R-1 (Low Density Residential).
• The developer is proposing 4 dwelling units per acre.
• 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 1,990
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
Page 69 of 125
6
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.

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.
• Storm water runoff and infiltration calculations must comply with the
Storm Water Management Manual for Easter Washington, they must be
provided for review and approval. Storm water calculations must be
prepared, stamped, signed and dated by a currently licensed Professional
Engineer registered in the State of Washington.
• 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.

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 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

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 Chapel Hill Boulevard and Road 84.
(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;
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).

A. Preliminary Plat Riverhawk Estates, 199-lots (Single-Family) (RP
Development) (MF# PP 2017-004)
Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
Dave McDonald, City Planner discussed the preliminary plat application for Riverhawk
Estates. He explained that this is the third parcel in the Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) property to come before the Planning Commission for approval. It is
located at the southeast corner of the future Chapel Hill Road extension and Road 84.
It consists of 54 ½ acres out of a larger parcel that is about 101 acres total. They will
develop the north half to start with and work their way south. The plat is located
directly north of Chiawana Heights, which was the first plat reviewed of the DNR
property. There will be a total of 199 lots, ranging from 7,200-13,000 square feet with
an average lot size of 7,800 square feet. The staff report contained the items required
by state law for review as well as findings of fact, conclusions and tentative approval
conditions.
Commissioner Mendez asked if the proposed density is within the guidelines.
Mr. McDonald responded that it was within the guidelines. In this zoning designation
under the Comprehensive Plan, density can range from 2-5 units per acre. This
proposal is under the 5 units per acre.
Chairman Cruz asked if the proposed development is consistent with the development
next to it.
Mr. McDonald stated that it was consistent with the AHO development to the west.
Chairman Cruz added that there is R-3 zoning directly to the north and R-1 so there
will be a good blend of density.
Ed McClellan, 4001 S. Kent Street, Kennewick, WA appeared at the podium and was
available to answer any questions on his proposed plat.
With no questions or comments the public hearing closed.
Commissioner Bowers noted in the staff report it mentioned an overpass at Road 76
and asked for clarification.
Mr. McDonald showed on the overhead map where Road 76 would be aligned and that
inthe long range it would connect from Argent to Burden but whether or not it will
Page 83 of 125
actually happen is to be determined as an overpass would be very expensive; however,
it is penciled in. It has been surveyed but this site is several hundred feet to the west
and doesn’t abut against it at all.
Commissioner Bowers asked if Road 76 north of the highway is the road by Walmart.
Mr. McDonald answered yes.
Commissioner Mendez asked if the City is collecting park fees.
Mr. McDonald replied that there is a $1,343 park fee assessed with each building
permit. The developer either pays that or they dedicate land for a park site and a
small payment. Staff still needs to discuss with the developer as the site is large
enough for a park. Over the next couple of phases, staff will be working with the
developer on that.
Commissioner Roach asked if the developers would be the same as the other DNR
sites being develop.
Mr. McDonald answered that there are three developers. The largest developer
controls the 101 acres that this plat comes out of and they will also be developing a
plat to the east.
Commissioner Roach asked if Pasco has seen inflated home prices due to the limited
number of homes available.
Mr. McDonald responded that he couldn’t speak for home prices but land prices are
higher. It could be due to the lack of developable land inside urban growth boundary
for housing subdivisions.
Commissioner Roach asked if the developers are developing at their own accord or if
it’s being encouraged by the City.
Mr. McDonald said that the developers are acting on their own accord as fast as they
can. They have money in the land so they need to develop it to recoup their
investments.
Commissioner Roach moved, seconded by Commissioner Polk, to close the hearing on
the proposed preliminary plat and set June 16, 2017 as the date for deliberations and
the development of a recommendation for the City Council. The motion passed
unanimously.

C. Preliminary Plat Riverhawk Estates, 199-lots (Single Family) (RP
Development) (MF# PP 2017-004)
Chairwoman Bykonen read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
Dave McDonald, City Planner, explained some of the problems being encountered to
provide sewer to northwesterly portion of the plat. A minor adjustment may need to be
made in one of the streets between now and final platting. Mr. McDonald also pointed
out that Condition #9 was added which requires the developer to enter into an
agreement not to protest any LID’s for construction of Chapel Hill Boulevard between
Road 84 and Road 68 and also for the construction of Road 76.
Commissioner Portugal asked if there was a future school site at the corner of this
plat.
Mr. McDonald answered the School District bought property at the south end of Road
84 wand have received a special permit for an elementary school. The City and the
School District will partner to create a park at that location.
Commissioner Bowers asked for clarification on a possible discrepancy in the road
placement of Riverhawk Estates and Chiawana Heights (directly to the south of
Riverhawk Estates). On one of the plans a street is called “F Road” on Riverhawk but
on Chiawana Heights it is called “Road E”.
Mr. McDonald explained that the road names don’t matter at this time but Staff will
coordinate with the developers to ensure the names will be consistent on the final
plats.
Commissioner Alvarado asked if the City has a methodology or number of acres for
parks.
Mr. McDonald responded that typically the City likes to have 5 acres of park space
when a development contains 160 acres – which could contain 500-600 homes. This
whole area is over 160 acres but the City has been working with the School District to
utilize some of the school grounds to locate a park in this neighborhood. Each one of
the lots in the subdivision pays a park fee when the permits are issued along with
various other fees (i.e. traffic impact, school impact fees, etc.).
Commissioner Greenaway moved, seconded by Commissioner Mendez, to adopt the
findings of fact and conclusions therefrom as contained in the June 15, 2017 staff
report. The motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Greenaway moved, seconded by Commissioner Campos, based on the
Page 85 of 125
findings of fact and conclusions as adopted, the Planning Commission recommend the
City Council approve the preliminary plat for Riverhawk Estates, with conditions as
listed in the June 15, 2017 staff report. The motion passed unanimously.

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.
Page 87 of 125
No written appeal of the Planning Commission’s recommendation has been received.
V. DISCUSSION:
After the Planning Commission hearing in April and deliberations in May were
concluded, questions were raised about an access road to the plat from the north side of
Argent. As a result the City Council remanded the plat back to the Planning
Commission with instructions to address the safety concerns related to the location of
the Argent Road access. The Planning Commission considered the matter at their June
15th meeting and are now recommending approval of the Plat with an access street to
Argent Road about 360 feet west of the east line of the plat. This will place the access
road at least a block west of the Road 72 intersection with Argent thereby eliminating
the confusion that may have been created by the short street off-set from Road 72.
The proposed plat 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 is one of three plats proposed for the
DNR property located between Road 84 and Road 68 south of I-182.

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 95 of 125
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 96 of 125
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 97 of 125

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 98 of 125
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 99 of 125
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 100 of 125

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 101 of 125
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 102 of 125
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.

DATE: June 15, 2017
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Dave McDonald, City Planner
SUBJECT: Chiawana Place, Lot Clarification (MF# PP 2017-005)
The Planning Commission considered the Chiawana Place plat last month
and forwarded a recommendation for approval to the City Council.
As a result of the Council review of the plat, the plat has been remanded back
to the Planning Commission with specific instructions to review the location
of the street connection from the plat to Argent Road. The proposed plat has
two access points; one access point is off Road 76 north of Argent Road and
the other is off Argent Road 152 feet west of the east line of the plat.
Concern was raised over the proximity of the new street to Road 72 on the
south side of Argent Road. From centerline to centerline the two streets are
only 152 feet apart. The municipal code requires a minimum separation of
125 feet for offset roads. However, in this case with the location of the plat
next to a high school and Argent being an arterial street there may be
justification for increasing the separation. In the early hours of the day and
in the afternoon when school lets out Argent becomes very congested.
Typically on arterials it is advisable to increase the distances between off-set
roads on arterial streets. The 125 foot spacing works well on local access
street but on arterial streets with higher traffic and high speeds offset streets
with the minimum space can create a point of conflict for the smooth flow of
traffic.
Options for relocating the connecting road are somewhat limited due to the
existence of BPA power poles along the north side of Argent Road and gas line
easement policies. The idea location for the connecting road would be in the
gas line easement however Williams Pipeline Company will not permit roads
to be built along the top of their pipe line. They permit roads to cross the
pipeline perpendicular only. The second issue with the gas line easement
location is the fact there is a large BPA power pole in that part of the
easement where the road would be located if it was permitted by Williams
Pipe Line.
Page 115 of 125
2
There is another large power pole located about midway between the gas line
easement and the proposed road along the eastern portion of the plat making
it difficult to locate a road in that general location.
Other than the existing location of the connecting road on the east side of the
plat the remaining option would be to locate the road between the gas line
easement and the first power pole to the east of the easement. The original
plat submitted for review placed the connecting road in this location.
The original preliminary plat had one flag lot which caused the plat to be
redrawn which in turn resulted in the relocation of the connecting street to
the east within 152 feet of Road 72.
In the interest of improved traffic flow and safety on Argent Road staff is
recommending the original layout for Chiawana Place be approved as the
correct preliminary plat. The one flag lot would in essence be traded for
improved traffic safety on Argent Road.
RECOMMENDATION
MOTION: I move the Planning Commission recommend the City Council
approve the Preliminary Plat layout for Chiawana Place as shown
in Exhibit #1.

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 118 of 125
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 119 of 125
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 120 of 125
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.

B. Preliminary Plat Chiawana Place, Lot Clarification (Derek
Alexander) (MF# PP 2017-005)
Chairwoman Bykonen read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
Dave McDonald, City Planner, explained the preliminary plat for Chiawana Place was
recommended to City Council at the previous Planning Commission Meeting, but has
been remand to the Planning Commission with specific instructions to review the
location of the street connection from the Plat to Argent Road. The concern was that
the proposed access street was too close to Road 72 on the south side of Argent Road.
Typically the offset permitted in the code from two different streets is 125’ which
works well on local access streets but Argent Road is a major arterial street and will
only get busier. Currently there is already school traffic on Argent backed up Road 68
during certain periods of the day. With that concern, City Council asked that this plat
be remanded back to the Planning Commission to be reviewed again to see if the
access road could be adjusted to the west. Mr. McDonald explained there were limited
opportunities on where to move the street due to the gas line easement to the west
and the location of the BPA power poles. The gas company will not permit a road
going north and south on top of the gas line. Roads are allowed to cross the gas line
perpendicular but cannot follow the gas line. Another problem with the gas line
easement is that there is a large BPA power pole right where the road would need to go
and that pole cannot be moved. If the road were to be moved to the east there is
another power pole in the way. The only place to locate the access street is to go back
to the original design that was rejected due to concerns over the creation of a flag lot,
however, there is no code against flag lots. Staff is recommending due to traffic safety
to have the road moved and accept the flag lot in the subdivision.
Commissioner Campos discussed the traffic on Argent Road and how big of an impact
would the proposed road in the subdivision make on Argent Road.
Mr. McDonald responded that overall with the proposed access road being just 152’
from Road 72 (center line to center line) there is a conflict in turning movements
because of the short separation it is hard to see an individual turning out of the other
street. There may be two people turning at the same time trying to get into the turn
lane which could create problems and slow traffic down. If the connecting roads are
farther apart there is a little extra safety buffer. The access road cannot be eliminated
because it would be difficult to get into the property because of the gas line and there
needs to be two ways in and out of the subdivision for fire safety, police and
ambulance services.
Commissioner Alvarado asked for clarification on the differences between the two plats
that were shown on the overhead projector.
Mr. McDonald stated the first plat shown was the plat that eliminated the flag lot,
Page 123 of 125
however it had the road located too close to Road 72. The second plat was the original
plat that had a flag lot.
Mr. McDonald added that the applicant was present to clarify anything, although the
public hearing has been closed so his comments could only be for clarification
purposes.
Commissioner Alvarado asked if the easement would be a road in the original plan.
Mr. McDonald responded that the gas line easement will remain an easement and will
always be there because of high pressure underground gas line.
Commissioner Mendez asked if the applicant had any issues with the proposal.
Derek Alexander, 2090 Kingston Road, Richland, WA spoke on behalf of his plat
application. He answered that he does not have an issue with the revised plat. There
is only one issue that came up after the last Planning Commission Meeting. He said
that on the west side of the plat there is a 30’ road easement and according to the staff
report to the Planning Commission, that is an arterial street and intended to be a 40’
easement. It was realized late in the game and in the reading of the report. He
requested that he could be able to maintain the 30’ easement for the road. His
reasoning is that the School District property has some issues on their side if
increased to a 40’ easement as there are at least 1-2 BPA power poles in that
easement. And from the indication of their surveyor the south side of Road 76 has a
30’ easement so there would be consistency.
Chairwoman Bykonen asked if the 30’ easement would meet the street standards and
if this would be the appropriate place to ask for a variance to the easement.
Mr. McDonald stated that is too late to request a variance at this point because the
public hearing has been closed and a recommendation already made to City Council.
The applicant would have had to file for an appeal, however, the 10 day period to file
an appeal has also passed. The only other option would to appeal it after the City
Council has made their recommendation but that appeal would have to go to District
Court. The recommendation for the right-of-way was in both reports to the Planning
Commission and the applicant had a chance to bring this up during the public
hearing. The right of way width was listed in previous DNR packets when DNR
surveyed the property. Road 76 is a major street that will hopefully connect all the
way north of the freeway.
Rick White, Director, added that the City doesn’t like to tell people no, however,
sometimes it has to happen. Just north of this site is an 80’ right of way and
inconsistency would not be good to promote.
Chairwoman Bykonen asked if it would be appropriate for the Planning Commission to
just move forward and make a recommendation based on what is before them and not
make an amended motion.

Mr. White said the choices are very limited and that the remand is only for the offset
with the road onto Argent and the proposed road. For now the issue is dead regarding
the right of way.
Commissioner Bowers moved, seconded by Commission Greenaway, the Planning
Commission recommend the City Council approve the preliminary plat layout for
Chiawana Place as shown in Exhibit #1. The motion passed unanimously.
