ATT is, City Clerk MINUTES PASCO CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 18, 1986 NEW BUSINESS Cheney Request for Reconsideration of Council Denial of Special Use Permit (Unclassified Use Within an R-1 District, ME #86-05-CUP) Prior to discussion and action of the Council, Mr Snider stated he would abstain from discussion and voting due to appearance of fairness and conflict of interest in this matter On August 4, 1986, Petitioner Bryce Cheney appeared before the City Council to request reconsideration of his special use permit in light of the traffic information he had submitted. In reviewing the record of the public hearing in question, nine vicinal property owners spoke against Mr Cheney's proposal and two people submitted written comments in opposition As reflected in the record, the common concern of these adjoining property owners was that of increased traffic in the neighborhood. Because of this, Mr. Cheney undertook a traffic study to garner additional information on traffic that was not available for comment at the public hearing. He has now submitted this traffic information and is requesting reconsideration of his special use permit. As instructed, staff took traffic counts at the intersection of 24th Avenue and Pearl, and 14th Avenue and Pearl to verify information submitted by Mr. Cheney. With regard to this matter, Council should make findings and conclusions about whether or not to reconsider this special use permit and either draw conclusions denying the special use permit with no reconsideration or determine that the new traffic information warrants reconsideration through a public hearing. The City Manager distributed copies of a third option for council to consider. After a brief discussion, Mayor Jackson directed that comments should be confined to traffic issue only. Mr Kraft moved to direct the Planning Commission to analyze the traffic associated with the Cheney Special Permit (MF# 86-05-CUP) in relation to the traffic reasonably associated with those uses permitted by the R-1 district, and issue its recommendation based on its findings after public hearing. Seconded by Mr. Morgan. During discussion, Mayor Jackson commented that he had serious concerns for people living in this area due to present and future traffic conditions and he felt petitioners had been afforded due process of law. Councilman Hendler defended Mr. Cheney's position by stating that neighbors didn't have a right to prevent another neighbor from coming in. Motion carried by the following roll call vote.
