6. PUBLIC HEARING ON MASTER APPLICATION FOR THE GATEWAY RETAIL
CENTER, REQUESTED BY GARY LUKEHART
A. RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY LONG PLAT AND
RELEASING CERTAIN EASEMENTS
This being the time set for the public hearing, Joan
Davenport, Supervising Planner, presented a brief overview of
the Master Application including the Preliminary Long Plat,
which creates 11 commercial lots, and the later release of
various utility easements. She briefly summarized the staff
report requesting adoption of the Hearing Examiner's
recommendation to approve the application subject to a series
of conditions and specific modifications. She further
indicated that if Council approves the preliminary long plat,
September 13, 1994 would be the date for the Final Plat to be
heard since the applicant intends to bond for all the
improvements. Responding to a request from Mayor Berndt,
City Attorney Paolella indicated it would be acceptable to
consolidate all issues pertaining to this Master Application
to one public hearing.
B. ORDINANCE VACATING A PORTION OF EAST "A” STREET
After answering a question from Council Member Beauchamp
concerning specific access easements, Ms. Davenport described
the area referred to in the petition to vacate portions of
East "A" Street (actually a relocation and dedication), North
12th Street, and Yakima Avenue. Referring to the public
utility easements, which will also be released as part of
today's action, Ms. Davenport explained that legislation will
be prepared for consideration at the same time as the
proposed final plat is brought to Council.
At this time there was a considerable amount of discussion
among Council members and answers and comments provided by
staff concerning land dedication expressly for road purposes
instead of subject to street vacation procedure. Council
also discussed the issue of compensation in exchange for the
petitioner's construction of a sidewalk on the south portion
of East "A" Street as well as a short sidewalk segment on
Yakima Avenue. Their reasoning was that it would provide
2
392
AUGUST 23, 1994
easier access for pedestrians and because the developer will
be making many new improvements to the area such as water,
sewer and streets.
After discussing a question of procedure, staff suggested the
language in the ordinance remain with the understanding that
the City Engineer estimate the value of the improvements and
then the developer can pay the City $99,000 less what the
1/
City Engineer estimates the improvements to be worth. This
would be acceptable to satisfy the obligation.
Mayor Berndt opened the public hearing and asked if anyone
wanted to speak in favor of the project.
Scott Shanks, First Western Development Services, stated they
have read the staff report and the Hearing Examiner's
recommendation and generally agree with all of its
conditions. Pertaining to the subject of compensation he
particularly described in detail the various improvements,
which will result in additional costs to the developer, that
should be considered by Council toward the offset in
compensation.
There was additional discussion about other retail
development expected at this site, as well as the estimated
cost of the sidewalk.
Commenting about the project, Council Member Brado stated the
property's value will increase significantly and that factor
should be considered. The interior streets will service the
project and developers are required to make street, sidewalk
and lighting improvements in subdivisions.
Gary Lukehart, developer, requested Council approve the
project as presented. The compensation, in relation to the
vacations of "A" Street and Yakima Avenue, Mr. Lukehart
requested Council take into consideration all the things that
have been done for this project to improve this particular
piece of property. The expenses should offset one another
including the sidewalks.
There was continued discussion that if the developer builds
the two additional sidewalks, then the street vacation
compensation amount would be offset.
Mayor Berndt asked if anyone else wished to speak in favor of
the project. There being no one, she asked if anyone would
I/
like to speak in opposition to the project. No one wished to
speak, and Mayor Berndt closed the public hearing. After
Resolution No. R -94 -109 was read by title only, it was MOVED
BY SIMS, SECONDED BY BEAUCHAMP, TO ADOPT THE
RESOLUTION. The motion carried by unanimous roll call
vote; Barnett and Buchanan absent.

Lukehart and Mary M. Lukehart; approving the preliminary long
plat for 11 commercial lots, and releasing certain easements,
subject to all of the conditions contained in the Hearing
Examiner's Recommendation; and authorizing the Mayor to sign
the preliminary long plat.
Ordinance No. 94 -43 having been read by title, it was MOVED
BY BEAUCHAMP, SECONDED BY SIMS, TO PASS THE
ORDINANCE. There was considerable amount of discussion
among Council members and staff concerning amending the
ordinance. It was MOVED BY BEAUCHAMP, SECONDED BY
SIMS, TO AMEND NO. 3 OF THE ORDINANCE TO SAY THE

SIDE OF THE PORTION OF EAST "A" STREET AND AN

I/ D. STATUS REPORT ON I -82 GATEWAY PROJECT
Although this status report is not technically part of the
public hearing, City Manager Zais explained its presentation
will tie together the overall Gateway Project. Dennis
Covell, Director of Engineering and Utilities, reported the
Gateway Project is moving forward after a minor problem when
the traffic and potential development in the Terrace Heights
area caused a revisitation of an earlier traffic analysis
done for the project, which was necessary to get a better
4
39 4
AUGUST 23, 1994
service life for the roadway in the interchange project.
Those impacts and value engineering impacts added several
million dollars to the project, which are covered by
increased funding by the WSDOT and TIB. The project for
Phase 1, Stage 1A, 1B, and 1C is funded. 1995 is the year of
construction for the Gateway Project, Phase 1. Accessibility
to the project, near the stage of completion for that
contract, is expected by the end of November 1995. Council
Member Beauchamp asked if Yakima Avenue will be required to
be closed during this construction period. Mr. Covell
1/
explained the project has detours rerouting around the
construction on Yakima Avenue with a reasonably good flow
with minor interruption expected. Council Member Beauchamp
also asked if any of this additional funding will impact Fair
Avenue. Mr. Covell explained that separate funding for
design of that project has been obtained. Dennis Covell and
Glenn Rice were commended for their joint participation in
obtaining funding for the Gateway Project, bringing resources
to bear without any further impact on taxpayers.
7. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
A. APPEARANCE BY THE YAKIMA SUNFAIR FESTIVAL ASSOCIATION
Gary McGlothlen, Vice President of the Sunfair Association,
invited Council members to ride in the parade on
September 24, 1994. He described the line -up for the
community parade, and announced the name of the Grand
Marshall will be revealed in September, well -known throughout
the entire United States, this person is someone who the
parents and children will both enjoy. Mr. McGlothlen
requested $1,000 to assist the Sunfair Association with the
parade. It was MOVED BY BEAUCHAMP, SECONDED BY BERGER,
TO SUPPORT THE SUNFAIR PARADE WITH $1,000. The motion
carried by unanimous voice vote. Mayor Berndt explained the
money was approved last year and is in the budget; a contract
will be required for this contribution.
Helen Scharff and Lola Amos presented a petition in support
of retaining the Senior Citizen Tour Program. The program is
popular, very affordable, and many seniors will not be able
to participate in the Senior Program should the tour bus be
discontinued. Council Member Sims added that approximately
$30,000 raised by Senior Tours goes back into the overall
I/
Seniors' program.
Luz Gutierrez, WAME, expressed her disappointment abut the
denial of WAME's request for funding (Agenda Item No. 9).
She described this as an economic development issue, not a
social service issue. She announced Pete Garza has been
selected as the Region I Hispanic Business Person of the Year
and will receive his award at the U. S. Hispanic Chamber
5
AUGUST 23, 1994 3 9 5
Conference in San Francisco. ,Mayor Berndt requested staff
prepare a letter congratulating Mr. Garza on this award.
8. FINAL REVIEW OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
City Manager Zais acknowledged David Flaherty, Parks &
Recreation Manager who will be leaving Yakima and going to
Tacoma Metropolitan Parks System.
Mr. Flaherty was available to answer questions about the Plan
designed to guide the Parks Department for the next five
years. Referring to additional policy issues, on Page 13,
concerning baseball fields. Council Member Barnett requested
additional language be added concerning adequate facilities
for the adult program. He asked that this be added because
adult softball is growing at a rapid pace. There was also
discussion concerning competition with private enterprise,
who many times are participants in contracted programs.
Mayor Berndt asked if there was anyone present who wished to
speak.
Dan Arnett, Greater Yakima Chamber 'of Commerce, provided a
position statement from the Chamber of Commerce supporting
the program. Many of the questions and concerns have been
addressed in the revised plan. However, they would urge a
more specific funding source for parks be identified which
will not affect other city funds, i.e., future refuse, sewer
and water rates.
Jerry Sturgill, Central Washington Home Builders Association,
explained his organization is not opposed to Parks. They
just want to keep housing at a cost that can be purchased by
the working people of Yakima. He described the Plan as maybe
being a little over aggressive. The survey that the Plan
mentions chose the majority that use the parks favor
development of existing park land and did not indicate the
public is ready to pay for the purchase of land for future
parks. The amount of parks needed for this community should
be based on local uses, not on National Recreation Park
Association standards that is stated in the plan. He
referred to Page 36, concerning a policy to establish a park
fund for acquisition of land for future parks. His
organization questions where the money is coming from to
establish this fund. On Page 37, there is a policy to
establish a planning policy that incorporates greenbelts and
pathways in all future residential and commercial industrial
developments. The Association does not believe affordability
in housing can be achieved by lower densities in new
subdivisions. On Page 38, the term transfer of development
rights appears. Mr. Sturgill stated this will allow a
developer higher density in a portion of his - subdivision as a
6
3 9.6
AUGUST 23, 1994
tradeoff for leaving some open space; although they may not
be opposed to that, they are not sure the community is ready
for that yet. It has been tried before to put houses on
smaller lots and it didn't work very well and wasn't very
successful. He recommended Chapter 8 be reviewed and written
with Yakima usage and needs in mind instead of national
averages. He recommended a five -year plan that would consist
of developing existing land owned as the need dictates and at
that point take a look at future needs. He stated they are
1/
very concerned about the future cost of housing in the
community. Council Member Barnett addressed the policy issue
as it relates to transfer and development rights. He
explained that staff did respond to his inquiry where they
attribute some of the primary reasons for that language is to
try to meet some of the requirements of Growth Management
Act. Perhaps some of those issues can be studied at a later
date. The issue of ambiguity is a concern which causes some
difficulty when trying to write satisfactory verbiage in
policy statements. After continued discussion among Council
members concerning the issues contained in this Plan, it was
MOVED BY SIMS, SECONDED BY BEAUCHAMP, TO SET
SEPTEMBER 13, 1994 AS THE DATE TO ADOPT THE PLAN WITH
MODIFICATIONS. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
Mayor Berndt described the outstanding job Dave Flaherty has
done as Parks and Recreation Manager. Mr. Flaherty publicly
thanked the Public Works Director for his leadership.
