Mr. Les Draper, owner of Les Draper Photography, announced that
he had closed his business at 624 W. Lewis, effective December
31, 1989. The reason for closure was lack of business and
inability to maintain a commercial building. Therefore, he would
like to do photography sittings in his home so that he could
pursue his livelihood. He didn't feel there was enough business
in Pasco to maintain a commercial location. Mr. Draper has been
in contact with City officials and under the present zoning laws,
he would be unable to do photography in his home as a home
occupation, yet he could be licensed if he went elsewhere to do
his photography.
Mr. David McDonald, Director of Community Development, explained
the rationale for home occupation and residential zoning
regulations - that being to protect the residential neighborhood
from becoming a quasi-business district.
The City Manager expressed concern that if we ma -de an exception
to the zoning laws in one case, it would set a precedent and
other requests would have to be approved.
Councilman Snider was sympathetic to the problem; however, in his
particular neighborhood, they had 60' lots and nearly every
household had two cars. When anyone had company, it created a
parking problem and someone would get angry. He, too, felt we
could not make exceptions here and there.
Councilman Jensen urged Mr. Draper to work with staff to pursue
other means of accomplishing his objective.
REPORTS FROM COMMITTEES AND/OR OFFICERS.
Park/Recreation Advisory Council. Mrs. DeFelice reported
discussion was held regarding improvement to playground at McGee
School and water reservoir site. Approximately $25,000 had been
allocated to beautify reservoir, and the Park/Recreation Advisory
Council was seeking input from surrounding neighbors for
playground improvement.
Mr. Erickson, Director of Parks/Recreation, reported they lost
twelve trees during recent storm and it could have been more had
they not been trimmed, etc.
At this point, Mr. Kilbury expressed concern why Franklin County
didn't receive disaster funds. The City Manager replied he had
met with Franklin County Commissioners and Federal Funds were
available only for uninsured losses; the amount of uninsured
