PUBLIC HEARINGS Blount Special Permit File No. 71-45 The Chairman asked the Secretary to read all correspondence concerning the requested special permit. The Secretary explained that he received the standard application for the special permit and the address is 711 S. Owens Avenue at Block 4 and the exact description of the proposal was a six part description: 1 . Counseling and referral services for alienated youths in a youth- oriented community setting to handle such problems as drug abuse, youth-parent conflicts, unplanned pregnancies , run-aways , alcohol abuse, school hassels, unemployment, dating concerns, etc. 2. A Drop-In center to facilitate the organization of youths and/or identity groups to solve problems of alienation and apathy. 3. A program of public information to increase awareness and concern on the part of the community towards the seriousness of local social problems, especially drug abuse. 4. A Methadone program in Pasco. 5. A need for a wholesome recreation through means of creative art work, films, games, Black Study courses , print materials, etc. 6. They presently have a staff of four employees and six volunteers . The Secretary also stated that at the meeting the Board received two petitions; one petition supporting the proposed location, the other petition protesting it. He stated that this was all of the written correspondence received. The Chairman asked the Secre- tary if he had checked with the City Manager to see what developments had taken place. The Secretary stated that the statement at the last Board of Adjustment meeting was that the City Manager and the previous Acting Urban Renewal Director had given permission for this use and that at the time when he was approached, in mid-summer, it was described as a church program and was church oriented and that is a permitted use in the zone they are in. He also stated that if it has gone beyond that, and approval must follow the or- dinances. The Chairman asked if this was an R-2 zone and the Secretary replied that it was. The Secretary explained that it was a Philanthropic Institution which is supported by donated funds and was the closest thing to a referral and counseling center as that was not sepcifically mentioned in the ordinance. Richard German asked the Board if this was in violation of the ordinance and if it comes under 22.80.040 or not. The Secretary stated that it was in the Planning staff's opinion that it was in violation of the ordi- nance and that it was not a church. The Chairman asked if it were supported by any funds other than donated. The Secretary stated it wouldn ' t be allowed at all . He also stated that it would then have to come under the R-3 or Commercial zone. It would have to be a club, lodge or membership club to be allowed in and clubs and lodges are allowed in R-3 and a membership club allowed in a C-1 . The Chairman opened the hearing to the public. Eris Blount, Youth Coordinator, Tri-Cities , 2002 Everest, Richland, stated that when she approached the City Manager and City Council with the proposal to be submitted to HEW, it was endorsed by the East Pasco Neighborhood Council and the City of Pasco, as Finan- cial officers. She stated that this meant they had no intentions of being under any church affiliation and that they are in the process of seeking Federal funds. Mrs. Blount then went into the history of the Drop-In centers and their importance. She then stated that Dr. Harold Johnson, Regional Director of HEW had heard about the need for this Drop-In center and asked if she would send him a copy of the proposal in that they might be able to give some technical assistance. Mrs . Blount then discussed the history of the Black man ' s capabilities and his not being able to find a good paying job , one that would make him able to bring home a check his family would be proud. She also stated that you didn' t have to have a degree to run a successful program. The Chairman asked Mrs . Blount how this was pertinent to the problem. Mrs. Blount re- plied that she had to express all of this in order to explain the Drop-In Center. Mrs. Blount also stated she had, in a two block radius , a petition of 25 names plus a letter from Girl Scouts and Camp Fire Girls for the program and location. Mrs . Blount handed the board the proposal . Mr. German asked Mrs. Blount if this particular location was best suited in this particular site. Mrs. Blount stated that it was an ideal spot for the program because there was nothing on the left and an empty apartment house on the right. It was convenient for senior citizens, women with children, and people working within because it was within walking distance. Mrs. Jones asked Mrs . Blount where did the day care and the jobs come into this center because they weren ' t in the letter. Mrs. Blount replied that it was in the proposal . Wheeler Smith, 625 S. Elm, stated that he is for the location in that particular location Robert Evans, 724 S. Douglas , stated that he was against its location because Urban Rene- wal had promised that nothing would be between Elm Street and Wehe but houses. He also stated that they should have been notified sooner so that there could have been some debate before the meeting. The Secretary was asked the location of the church. Velma Bush, 638 S. Sycamore, asked if Urban Renewal had the power to tell the City of Pasco what to do and what not to do. She then stated that the best way to help this situation is by making jobs . The Chairman stated that he had no idea what Urban Renewal could or could not determine but they were just goind by the zoning is in the City and what the ordinances are on these zones. Joe Bush, 638 Sycamore, stated that he was for it and wanted to know why people were against it. He stated that there were people who needed to be looked after, and they needed to help the children have a better way to go and anyway to set them in right direction anything would be to their advantage. T. J. Edwards, 723 S. Owens , asked if they were going to build a building in this spot. The Chairman stated that they were going to use the existing building. Then Mrs . Blount stated that they were going to use the existing building with an extension for the day care and nursery center and possibly a small office. Mr. Edwards stated that first it was a Drop-In center and now its a nursery but he thinks there is more room in other places then in the present location and he would pre- fer to see homes instead of Drop-In center. He does not like the idea of drug addicts going and coming. Mrs. Blount then stated that the Drop-In center was to help these people help themselves . The chairman asked if she had applied to the Planning Commission or building inspector for an inspection of the building. Mrs. Blount replied that she didn' t because she was waiting until the decision was made in meeting. Mr. German stated that he thought a Drop-In center was strictly for drug addiction but after reading the program it seems to mean drop in for any reason. Mrs . Blount then replied that they could not give professional help but would simply direct them to help. She stated that she wanted the lot because she had planned to build her house near the center so she could be closer. Sedalia Edwards, 723 S. Owens, stated she was against the location because she was the only one in that block and she had children and grandchildren but that she was for the program. Dick German then stated that they apparently had a misconception that the Drop-In center was primarily an area or location for drug addiction only. But the proposal apparently indicated the Drop-In center will also be a location for a day care for small children, job opportunities center; almost an employment center. Mrs . Blount then stated it was not primarily but one function of the center to get drug addicts back into the society as useful citizens. David Squires stated that the problem was not that the peo- ple in the audience were against the program but that they probably were for it but it' s the matter of interpreting the ordinance to see if the church can be used for the program Mrs. Blount stated that three people who signed the petition that were the closest to church were Rev. and Mrs . Henderson, Mr. Jackson and Mrs. Sparks . The Chairman stated that it had all changes so much since recieved one month ago, and that they now have a whole new program and new list of names. He stated that if he had to vote on it now he would have to sustain because he hadn't had time to study it. He also stated that he didn't know now whether it would fit under Philanthropic Institution now or not. He then stated that anyone who comes before the board again for any purpose should present information two weeks in advance so that the information can get to the board members and they can know 'hat they're talking about. He then stated that he was in favor of adjourning the meeting and going into a workshop some other time. Mr. German stated that the drug problem has existed for quite a number of years and that people who were using drugs knew who was on Methadone programs and know where to go. He then asked would they walk into her center for referrals? Mrs. Blount replied that all drug addicts didn' t have to go on the Methadone program, only heroine users, which meant that the amphetamine users, barbituates , marijuana smo- kers, etc. have counseling to talk out their problems, but heroine users don't want help so it takes a young man on the Methadone program to go out and talk to them. Mr. German stated that kids don't want to go to the adults and that Mrs. Blount was putting too much emphasis on drugs. He explained that people don't want it in that location because of drug addicts. Mr. Vaughn asked if Mrs. Blount had purchased the property and if she had checked with the building inspector. Mrs. Blount stated that the Urban Renewal Director and the City Manager have given them permission to use the building. Mr. Tom Jackson asked if the building had been officially condemned. Mr. Vaughn stated that the building had been in such bad condition that it would cost more to fix then for the city to buy it so the city bought it. He then stated that he didn't know if it was condemned but un- less there were changes, it was supposed to be torn down. He then asked her again if the building inspector had been to the place. Mrs. Blount stated that the City Manager and Urban Renewal Director said she could occupy the building because it was the last one tha- would be torn down in Urban Renewal project. Mr. German stated to the staff that when applying for a permit you are asking for a permit to do something on that piece of ground But if the building that is on that ground doesn't meet code then you have to tear it down and erect a new one. The Secretary stated that the permit has to do with the building because of location and how it effects the neighborhood. He also stated if the new building were built, the special permit should be resecured because it could change the character of operation. Mr. German then stated that Mrs. Blount was asking for a special permit to operate this program and that Mrs . Blount is applying under the conditional uses which a special permit can be granted for under R-2 section under Philanthropic Institution category. The Secretary stated that under the original application it was for a Philanthropic Institution but what he questioned was the day care center. Mr. German asked whether or not since last months meeting it had been advertised in the paper about the meeting. The Secretary stated that he did not advertise in the paper but that they did have a list of people who were at the last meeting that received a personal let- ter stating the meeting would be continued. Mr. German asked that the meeting be ad- journed until one week from tonight and the Secretary have at the next meeting a staff review, map of where the people live on the petition, city attorney, and a xeroxed copy of program to all of board. The Secretary stated that this would take a minimum of two weeks. The Chairman declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Vaughn stated that he would like a statement from the City Building Inspector regarding the condition of the building Chairman stated that the original program was to exist on donations but now the proposal is for funding by State or Federal government and that he would like to know just what he is dealing with. He then stated that if they gave her a special permit for the reasons on the letter and then she got the proposal she would have to then come back and apply fol a special permit which she could not receive. Mr. Vaughn asked if this would be operatinc under the name of the church. Mrs . Blount replied that it was under a non-profit organ- ization and that the church is a non-profit organization and that the Bast Pasco Neigh- borhood Council is a non-profit organization and that she felt they were in the same position as churches were and if the church could get funds so could they. The Secretary stated that the church was a permitted use because it is religious organization and the East Pasco Neighborhood Council was not a religious oriented. Mr. German moved that the meeting be adjourned until February 8, 1972. The vote was unanimous . The meeting was adjourned at 9:25 p.m. Respectfully submitted, ea� 0. 12.0- Ben D.

PUBLIC HEARING Braxton Temporary Use Permit The Chairman asked the Secretary to read correspondence concerning the temporary use permit. The Secretary stated that there was a letter from Mrs. Braxton and Mrs. Goebel requesting a temporary use permit to use a double car garage on the property located at 520 S. Elm Street as a garment factory. The Secretary then stated that he also received a letter from Mr. Bill Blackburn, Deputy Director, stating that he had inspected the property and after having reviewed the Urban Renewal Plan pertaining to the residential area, could not see where there would be any conflict with the Urban Renewal Plan. The Chairman declared the Public Hearing open. Wheeler Smith, 625 S. Elm, asked if they were going to keep rezoning pro- perty, making it all commercial , until everyone was moved out and also about the health facilities in the garment factory. The Secretary stated that this was not a rezoning but that it was allowing her to do what she could do in an Industrial zone for a six month period only and at the end of six months she will have to move the complete opera- tion and revert back to the original double car garage. He then stated that she would have to have the correct amount of bathrooms, correct wiring, etc. Mr. Smith then stated that he had no objections to the garment factory. The Chairman declared the public hearing closed to the public. The Chairman asked the Secretary if there was a hazard involved in having the factory. The Secretary stated that the only noticeable impact that it might have on the area was additional cars parked in front during the working hours or if -2-- business were to pick up, occasional trucks.

He then asked the Secretary for all correspondence regarding Special Permit. The Secretary stated that he received a letter and a petition. The Chairman then opened the hearing to the public. Mrs. Hall stated that in a good program the children are quiet for two or three hours in the afternoon and they have their learning program in the morning. She stated that she could see how bringing the children and picking them up would create a problem because the street was narrow. She then stated that the children would be between the ages of 2 and 5 because babies are too young to benefit from the type of program she would like to have. The Chairman asked if there was off street parking. Mrs. Hall stated that there wasn't at the present time but they have room in the yard and room to drive through to the alley and could use alley as a means of relieving some of the traffic on the street. Mr. Manderville asked if the program would be inside, outside or both. Mrs. Hall stated that the State Department set a limit of 75 square feet per child in the yard so that all of the children can't be out at the same time because the yard isn' t that large. She then stated there would probably be 8 or 10 out at a time and a worker would be inside with the others because she is allowed to keep 20 children. Mr. Squires asked how many people were in her home since she indicated that it was rental and family dwelling. Mrs. Hall stated that they had four children and that two young men were in the basement apartment. Mr. Manderville asked if she had planned to continue to have the renters as well as the Day Care Center. Mrs. Hall replied yes. Mrs. Campbell , 514 N. 8th, stated that she agreed that there was a need for such facilities but not at that location because it was a very congested area with a Music school , a beauty shop and two rooming houses . She also stated that when all of these cars are parked there, two cars can't pass each other on the street. -2- March 28, 1972 Mr. Hollinquest asked why there was a beauty shop, a music school and two rooming houses if this was not commercial property. The Secretary stated that these businesses were prior to the existing code therefore making them a nonconforming use. The Chairman declared the hearing closed to the public. Mr. Squires moved that the request for a Special Permit to operate a private nursery school at 524 N. 8th be denied. Mr. Manderville seconded. Squires, Manderville, Jones; voted yes.

Vase Chairman called the meeting to order. Secretary introduced a letter from Futronic, Inc., (C.L. Maddox, President), which stated they had outgrown their present facilities and were in the position to accept quarters in a building now under construction that would give them more room and better working conditions. The new structure is being erected by Clark Electric for their use as an electrical contractor. Futronix has an option on a portion of the rear of the building. Zoning in the area of the new building as C-3, which does not allow for manufacturing of anv type. Futronix's operation involves a small drill press to punch holes in fibre printed circuit boards and the soldering of small electrical components to these boards. Futronix requested an interpretation of Section 22.05.030 (7) (Wholesale Business), and Section 22.12.020 (Accessory Uses) of the Pasco Municipal Code. Public hearing was then closed. After some discussion by the Board, motion was made by Mrs. Jones, seconded by Mr. Manderville, to interpret this use as an accessory use since it is secondary to the primary use of the building, and to interpret the occupancy as wholesale due to the nature of the business. Motion carried. There being no further business before the board, the meeting was adjourned at 7:20 p.m. Respectfully submitted, J �s H.

Locati - Lot ll,-Buck's Second_Addition Public Hearing was declared open by Chairman Vaughn. Secretary advised the Board that the request for Special Permit had been properly applied for and duly adver- tised. Two inquiries had been received concerning this Special Permit, seeking information only. Mr. Locati was present and was asked by the Chairman to present his plan for development for this property. He stated that he intended to erect a 201x30' concrete block structure to house a beauty shop. The building would be 15' north of his south property line and 5 ' to 7' west of his east property line. The park- ing lot, which would accomodate six to eight vehicles, would be graveled for the present and blacktopped later, possibly next year. Mr. Locati fielded questions .from the audience (Walter L. Bauer, Clyde L. Beamer, Glen Hart, Frank M. Bailey and Blaine R. Ernst). In answer, Mr. Locati stated that he had no intention of blocking off the 10' easement along the south boundary of his property and would leave it open for the use of the property owners to the east of him. He stated that there is presently a fence on his east property line and he did not intend to erect any other fencing or plant any trees or shrubbry in this area. He would, however, plant some low shrubbry at the front of his property. Those concerned were assured that the building would meet all present building code requirements. Mr. Squires was concerned with esthetics and placement of any air conditioning units. Mr. Locati stated that the building would be new and the property maintained in a manner suitable to encourage business. He also stated that the air condition- ing units would be -wall mounted and shouldn't present a noise problem to the neighbors. Closure of the utility easement for vehicular traffic was a main issue with the adjacent property owners. The secretary advised those concerned that this Board could not make a legal decision requiring Mr. Locati to permit public use of a portion of his property for access to other properties, but an agreement could be drawn up between those concerned and this document then recorded with the County Auditor for future reference. The Chairman then asked if there was anyone else who wished to speak either for or against this Special Permit. Since there was no other discussion from the audience, the public hearing was then declared. closed. Board of Adjustment, Continued: -2- 7-25-72 The Chairman then called for a motion from the Board. Motion made by Mr. Squires, seconded by Mrs. Jones, to grant Mr. Locati a Special Permit to construct a beauty shop in an R-3 Zone in accordance with Pasco Municipal Code 22.36.040 and 22.80, since it has been determined by the Board that this use will not be detrimental to the immediate neighborhood or the public welfare; will not discourage the appropriate development of adjacent land and buildings or impair the value thereof; and does not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limita- tions upon other properties in the same zone. Motion was carried by the following vote: Squires, .yes; Jones, yes; Vaughn, ves. There being no further business before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 8:43 p.m. Respectfully submitted, s .

Secretary advised the Board that application had been made by P.J. Anderson, Inc. , General Contractor, P© Box 7008, Seattle, Wn., 98133, in accordance with the Washington State Board of Natural Resources, to run a borrow pit from Burlington-Northern Railway property in conjunction with construction of the Oregon Street/Highway 395 cloverleaf. In accord- ance with Section 22.68.020(f) of the Pasco Municipal Code, this would require the approval of the Board of Adjustment. Cal Coie, Superintendent for P.J. Anderson, Inc. , was in the audiance and was asked to present their plans for the borrow pit. He stated that in order to construct the cloverleaf it would be necessary to haul in 501,000/70,000 cubic yards of fill. They have contacted Burlington-Northern Railway in regard to removing this amount of fill from property just east of the railway yards and north of Empire Way. B-N has future plans of removing this fill, leveling the property to a grade of one (1) foot below top of rail, and constructing service buildings in the area, so, in essence, this would benefit both the highway department and B-N. Their agreement with B-N is to remove the fill and then stabilize the ground with gravel at a specified grade. Drawings of the highway intersection , the land fill and the borrow pit areas were presented to the Board to help clarify the presentation. There being no one else present in the audiance to speak either for or against this proposal, the public hearing was then closed. After discussing the proposal, the Chairman Pro Tem called for a motion. Motion made by Mr. Ilzandersille, seconded by Mrs. Jones, to approve the borrow pit as requested by P.J. Anderson, Inc.

PUBLIC HEARING - Michener Associates Special Permit Public Hearing was declared open by Chairman Vaughn. Secretary was requested to dis- close any correspondence relating to this hearing, and stated that only one person, a Mr. Cloud, had called regarding the Special Permit. His interest was the intended use of the property and when advised that this was an office building he stated that he had no objections. Chairman then requested that the applicant present his proposal. Mr. Ray Michener advised the board that he is an Agricultural Engineer, his business is presently located at the Tri Cities Airport, and he proposed to locate his professional office on these premises. He presented plans for a new split entry structure which also shows two future additions for rental office space. His plans show off-street parking for 20 vehicles. He was questioned about parking heavy equipment or storage of materials on this property and advised the board that he only does engineering work and does not get involved in the construction end of it, and therefore there would be no equipment or materials at this location. Chairman requested comments from the audience and heard from Vern Galloway, John Ellson and Marvin ?Nelson, all property owners in the immediate vicinity. Each stated they had no objections to this use. The question came up as to the need for this hearing as in the past an office was a permitted use in the R-3 Zone. Secretary explained that just recently a portion of the Zoning Ordinance had been changed by Ordinance #1510 requiring that certain uses in the R-3 Zone be by Special Permit only, requiring a Public Hearing before the Board of Ad- justment. It was also pointed out by the Secretary that any future expansion on this property would also have to be by Special Permit. After calling for and recieving no further comment from the public, Chairman declared the public hearing closed. Motion made by Squires, seconded by Marderville, that the Board grant Special Permit to Michener Associates to construct an office building as requested.

ROLL CALL: Members present were Willie Vaughn, G.V. Manderville, and Dorothea Jones. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Since this was a called Special Meeting, the Chairman moved that reading of the minutes from the last meeting be omitted. PUBLIC HEARING - I&H ENTERPRISES, INC. , SPECIAL PERMIT FOR OFF--STREET PARKING Public Hearing was declared open by Chairman Vaughn and the Secretary was requested to read the application submitted by I&H Enterprises, Inc. Application indicated that a cafe, tavern, night club was planned for the existing building located at 118 W. Columbia Street, but did not have the required off-street parking as stipulated in Municipal Code .22.84.020. Applicant indicated that he had leased a 200'x140' parcel of vacant land across the street from the building and requested he be granted a Special Permit to utilize this property for off-street parking for this buiiness. Chairman opened the meeting to anyone in the audience who wished to speak for this request. Mr. Tom Hill, owner, stated that he has been a resident of this area, for 5 years, in the present owner of Hill's on the Mall in Columbia Center, prior to that was the manager of the Rivershore Motel, has been in the motel and restruant business for the past 20 years. He has purchased this building and the total cost in getting it open will amount to about $130,000.00. He will provide live music which will be youth oriented, will serve a businessman's lunch. The parking lot will be graveled and lighted and will be policed by an attendent during the peak business periods. There were no other persons in the audience to speak either for or against this Special Permit. The Board questioned the number of off-street parking spaces required for this type business, the minimum size of a parking space and requested to see the parking plan as submitted by L&H Enterprises, Inc. The Secretary advised that required parking for this type occupancy could possibly be figured by two different methods, one using maximum occupant load as shown by seating capacity, and the other by using the floor area of the building. Using the first method, 75 parking spaces would be required, and by using the second method, 120 parking spaces would be required. The maximum number of parking spaces that can be arranged on a 50J.x140' lot is 22, which would provide this business with no more than 88 off premise parking spaces and a few less than 22 on premise parking spaces, for a total of not more than 110 off-street parking spaces. Public Hearing was then closed. After some discussion by the Board concerning the lack of submitted plans to indicate the number of off-street parking spaces that can be provided on this detached property, motion was made by Manderville, seconded by Jones, to grant this Special Permit as requested by I&H Enterprises, Inc. , for off premise off--street parking requirements for the business known as "The Sidetrack", provided plans and specifications for the parking lot, satisfactory to the City Building Inspector, are submitted prior to January 1, 1973. Motion carried by the following vote: Manderville, yes; Jones, yes; Vaughn, yes. ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 9:15 P.M. Respectfully submitted, e' Zze/s .�McCurry Secretary
