BOX 1259 / YAK I MA, WA 98907 ''AT BROWN 509) 248 -6166 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR 1507 WEST YAKIMA AVENUE LEGAL DESCRIPTION: The east 10 feet of Lot 11 and all of Lot 12 of Ray's Nob Hill Addition as recorded in Volume "B ", Page 49, records of Yakima County, Washington. The development program for 1507 West Yakima Avenue proposes to create a gallery /studio in the existing two -story building which is now used as a residence. The gallery /studio would be operated by its owner. A three -phase program is proposed in order to accomplish this goal. Phase I targets rezoning of said property from its current multi - family residential [R -3] status to Planned Development [PD] by March 1, 1985. Phase II calls for the demolition of the existing garage and the creation of nine [9] additional on -site parking spaces on a paved parking lot to be created on the rear of the property by July 15, 1985. Phase III projects an opening date of August 1, 1985, for the gallery /studio. The site has City of Yakima water, sewer, and garbage service. It also has access to public transportation in,the form of Yakima City Transit, Route #8 Lincoln, which makes hourly stops on South 16th Avenue, less than a block from the site. The only lighting to be added to the site would be two ground level spotlights used to illuminate a sign to be erected in front of the gallery /studio. The sign would measure five [5] feet by five [5] feet. This sign would be the major element in a small rock garden which would be part of the landscaping for the front yard. Entrance to the parking lot would be limited to Yakima Avenue. Exit from the parking lot would be limited to the rear alley. Site screening for the property would be achieved by planting arbor vitae along the full extent of its east and north boundaries and along a portion of its west boundary, The arbor vitae would stand six [6] feet high except along the front 20 feet of the east boundary where they would measure a maximum of three [3] feet, six [6] inches. A foot path would lead gallery visitors from the rear parking lot to the front entrance. A drywell, calculated to meet city standards, would be incorporated as part of the design for the parking lot.This dry well would be capable of containing the run -off from an inch of rainfall in a 24 -hour period.
