Board was advised that no corrmunication had been received concerning this application.
Chairman declared the Public Hearing open and asked if anyone wished to speak in
favor of this request. Don Cooper, 1114 W. Park, stated that he is a member of this
church and is a member of their building committee. He stated that the church was
erected in 1954, but due to lack of money- at the tirre, some of the items on the
original plans was not done. Their program is to complete the church, as planned, as
monezr becomes available. At present there is a 4.0' high brick tower attached to the
building, to which then would like to add a 9' belfrzr, and later add a 17' spire.
Total height would he 661 . The belfry is constructed of copper covered steel and the
spire will be tubular copper with a cross. The belfry will contain a 40" bell. Bruce
Whitemarsh, 1327 N. Bead, stated that he is a long time member of this church and
that he is in favor of this variance as it would permit them to complete the planned
development of this church. There being no one else wishing to speak either for or
apainst this request, the Public Hearing was closed. Discussion of the Board members
and !Tr. Cooper followed where it was learned that the belfry ras already been erected.

Chairman declared the Public Hearing open and asked if am*one wished to speak in
Favor of this request or to explain this program. Joyce Pararie, 2920 W. Hood,
Kennewick, stated that she is the director of the local Group Homes which is under
the sponsorship of the Atomic Citi Kiwanis Club. This is a statewide program to help
girls in the 14 to 17 Tear are bracket who are having troubles at home or are wards
of the Court. The program started with a Federal Grant of $37,202 and the State pays
for the ca,•e of the girls at a set amount per day. Prior to State licensing, the
location must be approved by local planninr* and zoning. The structure must also meet
State housing standards. According to law, it must be integrated, however, there are
few blacks in the prograr as generallir this race takes care of its own, through rela-
tives. Girls are referred to the home and must be accepted according to the programs
criteria. For the Most part, the girls are referred because of conflict between child
and parents, incest, single parent guidance. The home is staffed by house parents and
she supervises the home and councels the girls and refers them to other oraanizaticns
should the-, need treatment of an- kind. A bore such as this has operated in Fennewick
for several morths and so far there have been no problems. Girls are not apt to commit
crimes such as boys, but seem to be more self-destructive. House rules have been set
up an? the girls have to live h.r them or thev are returned to the Court to be placed
elsewhere. This dwelling, if permitted, will be renovated to meet State and City codes.
They are presently planning a new home in the Citv of Richland that will cost in the
neiphhorhood or $157,OOn. If approved, a five year lease will be signed on this house.
Due to the type of proFram where the girls are being rehabilitated, it is necessary to
have a home- tirpe setting with house rarents .rather than an institutional type setting.
No drugs are permitted on the premises and the {girls are prohibited :from using them.
Ther have looked at other sites and found this to be the best location as it is within
walking distance to the Senior High School. Average length of stair in the home is two
to three months, at which time the girls are either returned to their own homes, a
relative's home, a foster home, or referred back to the Court. The girls are permitted
to date, but must be in by curfew. Statewide, the program has been operating for 8
or 9 years and there has been no history of neighborhood resentment. Chairman then
asked for questions from those in attendance, which Mrs. Pararie would answer at a
later time.
Jessie Blanton, 526 N. -th, stated she was not completely opposed to this home, but was
not in favor of a five year lease. She would also like to be assured that her driveway
would not be blocked by a large number of vehicles being present next door, and wondered
how much traffic would be generated in this area.
Frances Campbell, 514 N. 8th, stated that there are several widows in the immediate
area and the-, have fears of being overrun by voung bogs who would hang around the area.
She was also concerned with the traffic and parkine problems that would develope.
Robert Martinolich, 502 N. 8th, asked if this program was paid by the Federal Govern-
ment or State and questioned the profit motive. I?e also requested that this matter be
tabled to a later date so that City Ordinances could be checked to see if this :,could
he a violation.
These questions were then asked of TRrs. Pararie and she stated that the five year lease
is to protect their original investment due to remodeling costs, However, she would
accept this Special Permit even if it were issued for onlv one rear as she thinks the
abutting property owners would not ob;ect to the home once it was operating. The girls
are not allowed to have cars or driver's license and the only, vehicles that would be
there would he a van, ttrpe vehicle for transportation ar.d possibly the house parent's
personal vehicle. Boys are restricted to certain visiting hours and generally they Uralk
to the house or ride bicycles rather than drive. Their original grant expires in
July, at which time they will be granted an additional $25,000 to operate the remainder
of the ,year. The sponsors are now collecting $5,000 local share of matching funds.
Eventuallv the program will become self-sustaining through State allowances for care.
Board of Adjustment -3- 1-22-74
She has written letters to all propertir owners within the 300 foot radius and thus
far has received no response. Property devaluation was discussed and it is felt that
there would be no devaluation due to the operation of this house, and if ani,thing,
property values could be enhanced due to better maintenance of the property. The home
would he better suited in a residential area than commercial since the home is patterned
after normal familir living.
Mary Burgess, 3417 Road E5, stated she and her husband, Jerry Burgess, purchased this
dwelling and have agreed to lease it to Tri Cities Group Homes as thev have worked with
children for several years and understand the problems that some girls have. She has
contacted some of the immediate neighbors regarding the operation of this home and
feels that something of this nature is needed in this area.
There being no further questions from the audience, the Public Hearing was closed.
Discussion by the Board followed, where it was determined that 53 notices of the public
hearing had been mailed out to property owners within 300 feet of this parcel.
Petitions had been signed bTT residents of 15 households in this area. Motion made by
Manderville, seconded by Koster, that this request be tabled from 30 to E0 days, during
which time the Tri Cities Group Hones people could contact the persons that had signed
the petitions to explain their program. After contactinp these people, the City should
be notified 15 days prior to the next hearing so that all persons could be notified of
the hearing. Iotion carried b-v the .following vote: Jones, Yes; Koster, Yes; I•ander-
ville, Yes; Squires, Yes.
'I.rs. Pararie stated that she would make contact with the property owners and be ready
for a public hearing at the February 26 meeting.
PUBLIC HEARPIG - Johnnv Hatt, 1.00: W. Margaret - File Fo. 7L�-3
Chairman Squires directed the secretary to read the applica-Lion as submitted Ily Johnny
Hyatt. Request is for a variance of the minimum 25' front yard set-back in the R-1
Zone to permit him to add an 51x16' dining room to the front of his home. The Board
was advised that one phone call had been recieved concerning this request, the lady
was seeking information as to the proposal, and after learning the details stated she
had no objection.
Chairman declared the Public Hearing open and asked if anyone wished to speak in favor
of this request. Johnnv Hyatt, 1005 W. Margaret, stated that he recently purchased
this home and it does not have a dining area large enough to seat his family of four
children. He also has custody of 2 daughters from a previous marriage and they will
he moving into the home with him in the near future. The houses alone this street are
staggered 4 to 5 feet in some cases. He cannot build to the east as the living room
and a hallwair are in this area. There is not enoueh room to build on the west side.
To reduce the addition to four feet would not gain him the root^ needed.
Llo7rd Graham, 1039 W. Margaret, stated that he did not object to this variance. He had
lust received notice of the hearing and attended for his o m information.
Juanita Davis, 1004 U. Nlar�Eraret, stated she had no objections. Her home is to the east
of the Hyatt home, but faces Aurilia Avenue, and has less front yard than his on the
Margaret Street side.
Kay Stutzman, 1024 W. Margaret, stated he had no objections as he has the same problem
and would like to extend his dining area in the future.
During questioning, 'Mr. Hyatt stated that this would be a brick: and wood with aluminum
siding addition with a flat roof and a 2' shake mansard. He would do some of the work
himself, but hire journevrnen for the specialized worn. He would expect to complete
the job within 30 to 45 da--s after starting.
There being no further comment from the floo-, the Public Hearing was closed.
After some discussion by the Board, motion was made by Jones, seconded by Koster, to
grant an 5' variance of the front vard requirement as requested ry the applicant.

center. He stated that this center has to be close to a nursing home due to its nature.
The present traffic flow is mostly to the apartment complex to the north of the nursing
home and no great amount of traffic will be generated by this proposed use as only about

project.

The Continued Yeeting of Mav 28, 1974, of the Board of Adjustment was held at 8:15 p.m. ,
Tuesday, June 11, 1974, in the Council Chambers of Pasco City Hall.
POLL CALL: Members present were John Koster, Dorothea Jones and Clark Daniels.
Absent : G.V. Manderville and David Squires.
CHAIRMAN: Due to the absence of both the Chairman and Vice-Chairman, Clark Daniels was
elected to chair this meeting.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Motion made by Jones, seconded by Koster, to approve the minutes of
the May 28, 1974, and the April 23, 1974, regular meetings. Notion carried.
PUBLIC HEARING - Gene Hines, 2004 N. 22nd Ave. , - File No. 74-5
Chairman Daniels stated that since this was a continuation of the Public Hearing held on
May 28, 1974, and that ever-one was familiar with the request, there was no need to read
the application. Public Hearing was re-opened.
Secretary read a letter addressed to the Board from the Tri Cities Chamber of Commerce
requesting this request be given an affirmitive vote, signed by Boyd Southwick.
Gene Hiner, 2004 N. 22nd, presented a drawing of the project and outlined the services and
activities provided by this type facility.
Carl Maier, 1740 N. 22nd, complained of the excessive traffic that would be generated,
especially during the morning and evening rush hours. He stated that it is alread impossi-
ble to exit from this area.
Francis Forester, 2207 W. Pearl, stated that he was against the proposed height and was
concerned that the low section of the building might be built higher in the future.
Frank Thomsen, Manager of the Pasco Chamber of Commerce, addressed the public and stated
that these is a great need for a facility of this type in the Tri City area, that the
building can be legally constructed to a 25' height and the additional 61 that is requested
will not make that much difference to the neighborhood. He also stated that the amount of
traffic cannot be controlled, but that vehicular traffic can be controlled by traffic
engineering.
John Nanke, 2303 W. Pearl, stated that he is not against the retirement center, but doesn't
think 80 units will be ample and therefore thinks the facility should be built where it
can be expanded in the future. He doesn't think this area should be used for regular apart-
ment buildings and will fight their approval.
Carl Maier stated he likes the present invironment and thanks that if this facility should
be near a medical center, perhaps the medical center should be built near the existing
elderly housing units on First Avenue.
Spence Jilek, owner of Crescent Drugs, stated that this is a modern concept whereas medical
attention will be available on a 24 hour basis, meals will be provided, activities scheduled
and various aid given the residents. Stated that the nearest facility of this type is on
the coast and some of the elderly have already left this area to live there.
Uohn Manke asked if these apartments would be available to ,young pe6ple and was advised by
Hiner that a person had to be 65 ,years old or disabled to reside there.
Dr. Joseph L. Greenwell, 702 W. Clark, stated that he has encountered ma v patients that
are in need of this t-7pe housing as regular apartments do not have items built into them
that the elderly require. He supports approval of this facility.
Bonnie Phillips, 2215 Id. Pearl, stated that all the local residents are opposed to this use.
Mary Ann Dobbs, Kennewick, stated she is a visiting home nurse and from her experience the
elderly are in need of a facility of this nature.
John Manke agreed that there is a need for this facility, but was concerned that the other
nearby vacant lots would be rezoned and apartments built on them.
Board of Adjustment -2- June 11, 1974
Bonnie Phillips stated that she has talkad to several realtors who advised her that thic
use would devalue their property, and in fact could possihl.;r make it unsalable. They have
advised the neighborhood to vote against this use.
Carl I'ia,ier stated that he intends to fight the building of a.pa,rtmients in that area as it
tends to devaluate his property.
Olive Lear, Social Services Director, stated that the elderly are a -past of the societ.r and
shouldn't Ili forced to move away from their town, friends, relatives and familiar shopping
areas. These people still have a useful life to live, but at a slower pace.
Luther Parrott, 1744 N. 22nd, stated that he knows several people that were in rest ;,omes
and have died front the heckling given them by social workers.
Francis Forester stated that in the past homes were handed down from farther to son but today
people are taxed out of their homes and this is no longer possible. He stated that when
he bought his property there was a covenant on it regulating building height. and businesses.
lie stated that the local residents fear being surrounded by apartment houses.
Elwyn Phillips stated he was born and raised in Pasco and bought a house here because he
intented to stay. He also required that the house be located in an R-1 zone as assurance
-that no apartments would be built there. He finds that this is no longer true.
Gene Hiner restated to the audience that he was not requesting a zone change, that this
request was within the limits of the zoning regulations, and that three stories were necess-
a.ry to minimize the distance that the elderly would have to walk to get tub the activities
center.
Carl haier stated that the tower at the end of the building was a fire hazard and he didn't
think this was the proper design for a building for the elderly.
Gene Hiner stated that this building would be one-hour fire protected, completely sprinkleret
and the fire escapes (towers) would be smoke proof enclosures with automatic closing doors.
Mary Dobbs stated that mose elderly people would rather remain in a familiar area and she
thought they should be able to do so if they wished.
Since no further constructive information was being brought before the Board, the Public
Hearing was then closed.
After some discussion by the Board, and an explanation to the residents by Koster, Koster
made a motion, seconded by Jones, to grant the conditional use permit to erect the 80 unit
retirement center, and to grant a waiver on the 25 foot height limitation for this building,
as requested in the application. Motion carried by following vote: Koster, ,yes; Jones,
.yes; Daniels, ,yes.

erty to allow Mr. Diemond to construct a dwelling unit between the two wings of his apart-

of the mailed notices were returned marked 'Not at this address' . The Public Hearing was
then opened and Mr. Diemond advised the Board that he proposed to build a three bedroom
home in the center of his aparrtment complex to be used as his residence and office and if
he were allowed to move the building forward five feet it would not effect his parking area
to any extent. The apartment complex contains 22 dwelling units, and with the new building
erected he will still be able to maintain 26 parking spaces. There was no one else in
attendance to speak either for or against this request, so the public hearing was then close(

He stated that the awning projects 6 feet from the front of the house and is 262 feet from
the sidewalk and lines up with the house on the corner to the south. The carport supports
are two feet from the side property line, the posts being in the center of the hedge, with
the roof overhanging the posts by two feet. The house to the south has a. 10 feet sideyard
