HOMES (Pasco Housing Authority/Sea-First. 80-33-7) R-1 to P-2

no adverse communications
The City Planner reoorted that the group of lots facing Wehe, across the street
from the planned elementary school and the neighborhood Park, should be re-
classified to encourage medium density development The three lots on Beech
appear to be more sensitive to proposed development due to their situation
between a planned mobile home sdbdivision and existing single family homes The
zoning of these lots will also establish the future zoning of the balance of the
lots in this block
Jack Lippold, Director of Pasco rousing Puthority, favored the zone change and
urged Council to consider request
Following three (3) calls from Mayor Bailie for further comments from the floor,
either for or against, the Hearing was declared closed

III development (duplexes) would annear to be comnatible with the existing single
family homes and would avoid the Potential for mobile homes facing the single
family homes However, construction of a 2-story, 6-unit apartment building may be
detrimental to the existing developments and should be avoided In order to

MAYOR BAILIE DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN TO REZONE ALL OF BLOCK 4, WEHE'S
WHITEHOUSE ADDITION FROM R-1 to R-3 (Pasco Housing Authority/Moore)
It was noted that the hearing had been duly published and posted There were no
adverse communications
Mr Gary Crutchfield outlined proposed zone change and stated that the location
of this block appears to make it one of the most desirable for high density
(proximity to neighborhood park and planned general business developments)
However, the premature reduction of the sewer capacity under R-3 zoning would
effectively inhibit development of other properties within this general residential
neighborhood R-2 zoning of the entire block represents a reduction of 13 units
(sewer capacity) while the R-3 zone represents a reduction of at least 30 units
and as much as 70 The bulk of structures does not appear to be a sensitive issue
in this instance due to the location of the property therefore, provision of
street and utility improvement should be required as a condition of rezoning the
property Staff recommends the Council rezone Block 4, A M Wehe's Whitehouse
Addition from R-1 to R-2, upon completion of a concomitant agreement which
provides that the owner agrees to participate in future L I D 's for street,
utility and related improvements .
Following three (3) calls from Mayor Bailie for further comments from the floor,

MAYOR BAILIE DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN TO CONSIDER VACATION OF THE N/S
ALLEY IN BLOCK 30, PLAT OF HIGHLAND PARK HOMES
It was noted that the hearing had been duly published and posted There were
no adverse communications
Mr Gary Crutchfield reiterated that Sea-First, trustee for owner of Block 30,
requested rezone to RMH-1 several months ago to complement the zoning and development
of the replatted blocks lying to the east of Owen Avenue The east half of this
block is being provided with streets and utilities as part of L I D No 199
The rezone was granted with the condition that the owner petition for vacation of
the alley, the purpose of the condition was to initiate the vacation process to
determine the advisability of vacating the alley in this block consistent with
the replatted blocks lying east of this block The only need for the alley was
expressed by Cascade Natural Gas and the P U D • both suggested an easement be
retained to allow their service lines to be located in the alley
The provision of all utilities to the replatted block to the east will be under-
around at the front lot line This block is entirely vacant and the east half
is being served by L I D No 109 improvements, therefore, the provision of
underground, front lot line service can be accomplished by the owner as a part of
the L I D The west half of the block can be provided underground, front lot
line service as part cf a future L I D or in conjunction with new development

PUBLIC HEARINGS - Continued
MAYOR BAILIE DECLARED THE PUBLIC [TARING OPEN TO CONSIDER VACATION OF THAT
PORTION OF WEST "C" STREET ADJACENT TO BLOCKS 5 AND 12, GANTENBEIN'S ADDITION
TO PASCO (between South 7th Avenue and South 7th Lane)
It was noted that the Hearinn had been duly Published and posted There were
no adverse communications
Mr Gary Crutchfield stated this Proposed vacation was initiated by the City
Council on behalf of the County The County owns the property on both sides
of this portion of "C" Street Sewer and waterlines are already placed within
this portion of the right of way and Pacific Northwest Bell has an underground
line within this right of way The City and County have tentatively agreed to
the development of the land on both sides of this portion of "C" Street as a
neighborhood park
Vacation of the right of way was necessary to permit development of a
neighborhood park as a street, in two small relatively useless parks rather
than one park of sufficient size and shape to properly develop and be used for
neighborhood types of recreation Therefore, the right of way should be vacated,
but a full width easement (80 feet) should be retained for the present and future
utility improvements
Following three (3) calls from Mayor Bailie for further comments from the floor,
either for or against, the Public Hearing was declared closed
MAYOR BAILIE DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN TO CONSIDER THE VACATION OF THAT
PORTION OF WASHINGTON STREET ADJACENT TO BLOCKS 1 AND 2, OAKLEY'S RIVERFRONT _
ADDITION
It was renorted that the Hearinn had been duly Published and posted There
were no adverse communications
Mr Gary Crutchfield stated the City Council, at the request of Spencer Ji'ek.
scheduled a Public hearing to consider whether or not any portion of Washington
Street should be vacated In the nrocess of researching information, it has
become apparent that the City owns the land between the pond and Washington Street,
east of 18th Avenue Darinold occupies the northwest corner of the intersection of
18th and Washington and could expand to the east rather than south A 36" sanitary
sewer main is located in the south half of Washington Street and Washington Street,
west of 18th, was vacated by the County in 161 and an easement was retained for
the sewer main
Jf the City lands are to be utili7Pd for a community type of park or recreation
area, it would appear most desirable to retain the right of way for Washington
Street east of 18th Avenue however, vacation of the north/south right of way
east of 18th Avenue could be pursued Although Mr Jilek had requested vacation
of 'lash -m(1ton Street to allow southerly extension of the existing building, there
is sufficient land to the east of the existing building to accomodate greater
exnansion while Preservinn the Washington StrPet right of way
Following three (3) calls from Mayor Bailie for further comments from the floor,
either for or against, the Public Hearing was declared closed
!
