PUBLIC HEARINGS
Abatement Cost Recovery - 2705 West Sylvester Street (Continued
from Regular Meeting of May 17, 1993)
Mr Rubstello explained that the assessed value of $74,800 00 maybe a
little high, however, even if this is the case it is a good sized piece of
property and the value is large enough to cover the debt The
abatement involved the demolition of a structure as well as general
clean up and the amount of $5,824 78 being assessed against the
property is reasonable
MAYOR DEFELICE RECONVENED THE PUBLIC HEARING TO
DETERMINE THE METHOD OF RECOVERING CITY COSTS FOR
ABATEMENT ACTIVITIES AT 2705 WEST SYLVESTER STREET

record that notice of the public hearing was published and the
property owners involved were notified by certified mail as required
by law
Mr Wright pointed out that at this time that the City has received
written protests regarding the proposed LID exceeding 60% of the
total assessments and, therefore, by law cannot proceed with this
action
Mr Crutchfield explained that even though property owners have
decided not to support the LID to improve their street the City has the
option to order the installation of curb, gutter, and sidewalk (which
was the intent of Council in past discussions where an LID is declined
by the neighboring property owners)
MAYOR DEFELICE DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN TO

REGULAR MEETING PASCO CITY COUNCIL JUNE 7, 1993
Mr Wright explained that this L I D was a conglomeration of
improvements In addition to the work being done under the L I D
there are other improvements being made such as the widening of
Lewis Street, adding storm drainage on Lewis Street, and the
installation of sanitary sewers and water lines in Frontage Road are all
being funded by the City In addition to this there are a number of
assessments to property on the south side of the road, which the City
will be responsible for paying as the property cannot legally be
assessed because it's a cemetery
MAYOR DEFELICE DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN TO
CONSIDER CREATION OF L I D NO 125 (FRONTAGE ROAD AND
ROAD 24)
Mr Robert Young, spoke as representive for Mrs Edns Phillips, to
express her opposition to the proposed L I D on the grounds that her
property has no commercial value
Ms Lora Weidner, of 422 South 22nd Avenue, stated her opposition to
the proposed L I D as she felt it failed to perpetuate the commonly
required element of a direct benefit to her property's value She felt
there was no direct benefit for her property because she already has
pavement, and sewer.
Mr Earl Wattenburger, of 104 South 20th Avenue, expressed his
opposition to the L I D because he didn't feel that it was going to
benefit his property to the extent that the City would be justified in
charging him the amount of his assessment He felt the City should
reevaluate the amount of the assessments, not only for him, but for
others affected by the proposed L I D
Mr Ajax explained to Council and those present for the hearing that if
the Council did create the L I D that the law states that if citizens that
would be assessed 60% of the cost of the L I D do protest this in
writing the citizens would overnde Council's authority to proceed with
the project In the case of Mr Wattenburger, who has verbally
protested to Council, it would not be considered legal should Council
proceed with the proposed ordinance creating the L I D Therefore, if
Council were to go ahead with the L I D the citizens involved who
objected would need to do so in writing within 30 days of the hearing
in order to halt the proceedings
The following letters were read into the record by the Clerk
Mrs Sylvia Dukelow, of 304 South 25th Avenue, wrote in opposition to
the L I D as she felt unjustly charged for something that is not
necessary and is being done for beautification purposes along Lewis
Street
Ms Edns Phillips, no address given, wrote in opposition as she felt
the assessment proposed greatly exceeds any reasonable value of the
property and would in no way enhance the value of this unuseable
piece of land, which is segregated from the major portion of property
It was cut-off and isolated years ago by construction of the State
highway The small size and triangular shape of the property prevents
it ever being used for any constructive purpose
Following three (3) calls from Mayor DeFelice for further comments
from the floor, either for or against, the public hearing was declared
closed.—

Lewis Street and 20th Avenue Mr Strode seconded the motion
Mr Strode felt that even though the value of an improvement may not
be apparent to certain landowners at this time he was confident that
all the proposed benefits and improvements being considered will be a
benefit to the community as a whole He fully and enthusiastically
supported the proposed ordinance
Mr Kilbury felt that due to the amounts of some of the assessments
Council would see a 60% objection to the proposed L I D , therefore,
he saw no reason to go ahead with this action
Mr Lathim felt that the costs were very high for some of the people
involved who purchased their property years ago not thinking it would
end up being zoned light industrial. He wanted the City to take
another look at this L I D

L I D so that some of the improvements could go in

Mr McDonald explained that the Engineering Department is

in this area, that it was important to proceed
MAYOR DEFELICE DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN TO
CONSIDER THE VACATION OF THE NORTH/SOUTH ALLEY IN BLOCK

them Closing off this alley would greatly effect their ability to secure
the property from theft, vandalism, and the problem of trespassing
The following letters were read into the record by the Clerk

trespassing He wanted to reassure the City that it would have access
to the sewer line and manhole cover at any time
Ms Shelia Gibson, of 826 South Maitland, wrote in support of the
proposed street vacation stating that allowing this action would help
with unwanted traffic through the alley
Ms. Maria G Esculante, of 820 South Maitland, wrote in support of

Mr Ajax wanted to reassure property owners that if there is a way to

MINUTES
REGULAR MEETING PASCO CITY COUNCIL JUNE 7, 1993
1) The location and size of the proposed use are not harmonious
with the orderly and existing development of the residential
district where the subject property is located The intensity of
the proposed operations is not harmonious with the otherwise
purely residential character of the neighborhood
2) The proposed use will house troubled youth on a short-term or
temporary basis away from their families All the adjacent
neighborhing properties are developed for single family homes or
residential apartment housing family units There are many
elderly and young families with small children in the immediate
area
3) Although the location height of existing structures is consistant
with the surrounding neighborhood, the operations involved by
the proposed use will impair the value of adjacent properties by
diminishing their desireability as single family residential units
due to concerns for the safety of elderly home owners and young
families for their children
4) The proposed use will concentrate at a single residential site
juveniles under the age of eighteen (18) who come from troubled
families and backgrounds with a high probability of bringing more
objectionable noise, concerns for security, and other nuisance
activity to the neighborhood than the existing residential family
units provide
5) The proposed use is better located in a neighborhood more
transitional in nature from residential to commerce This
neighborhood is a stable, longstanding residential neighborhood
