As a result of an agreement between the neighborhood group, called Concerned Citizens of West Yakima Avenue, and Paul and Holli Radke, Rosedell's owners, an appeal hearing that was scheduled to take place during the October 21st Yakima City Council meeting has been cancelled. The Radke's and the neighborhood group have agreed to add another condition to the original 6 conditions Cuillier imposed when he approved the bed and breakfast home occupation use in mid August. The new condition does not allow the Radke's to transfer the approval of the home occupation use for the next 3 years. Until September 30th, 2011, anyone other than the Radke's would have to reapply to the City for approval to run a bed and breakfast in the mansion, located at 1811 West Yakima Avenue. Usually, a home occupation use approval, such as for a bed and breakfast, does transfer with a property if the property is sold or otherwise changes hands. After conducting a hearing in July, Cuillier approved the Radke's application on condition that Rosedell's owners comply with a half-dozen conditions, which included signage, off-street parking, and hours of operation restrictions. Concerned--- -- Citizens of West Yakima Avenue appealed Cuillier's decision to the Yakima City Council in early September. Now that the neighborhood group has withdrawn its appeal, a hearing before the Council is no longer necessary. Rosedell was originally built by Yakima business pioneer A.E. Larson in 1906. The mansion, built in the classical revival architectural style, was named for Larson's wife, Rose. The Radke's have owned Rosedell since 2005. Concerned Citizens of West Yakima Avenue are represented by local attorney James Carmody. The Radke's lawyer is Phil Lamb. — end — • • PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL: COVERED BYTHE ATIORNEY-CI,IF,NTAND ATTORNEY WORK PRODUC ('PRIVILEGES MEMORANDUM TO: Dick Zais, City Manager FROM: Jeff Cutter, Sr. Assistant City Attorney DATE: September 26, 2008 SUBJ: Yakima Avenue Bed and Breakfast; Limitation on Use On September 11, 2008 I provided a legal opinion addressing whether or not there was legal support for the City Council to modify and approve a Hearing Examiner's land use decision permitting a bed and breakfast to be operated on an R-1 zoned residential property. The Hearing Examiner's decision approving the bed and breakfast has been appealed and the appeal will ultimately be considered by the City Council during a closed record public hearing. The question presented concerns whether the City Council's approval of the Hearing Examiner's decision permitting the bed and breakfast, with a further limitation that the approved use will only be permitted so long as the original applicant/property owner is in possession of the residence, is legally defensible. My previous opinion was that such an additional restriction on the approved land use could subject the City to a legal challenge by the applicant. Following submission of this opinion I was advised that several Council Members are aware of two prior applications that had requested a similar use of residential property and that had been approved by the City, with the approvals including a restriction limiting the land use to the original applicants only. I have reviewed the City's files on the two previous decisions identified and offer the following analysis and legal opinion regarding the limitation of an approved land use to the applicant only. A. Gary Vance Bed and Breakfast Application — 210 south 28`h Avenue In the first case, in 1990 Gary Vance applied to the City for permission to operate a bed and breakfast in a residential property located at 210 south 28th Avenue. The City followed its required notification procedure and as a result, numerous parties became involved both in favor of and opposed to the proposed use. After full consideration of the application the City staff recommended approval of the requested use based upon the analysis set forth in the City's Ordinance. Due to the large public response to the application the Planning Department Manager decided to elevate the review process from a Class.2 to a Class 3 review, thereby requiring a public hearing before the City's Hearing Examiner. Following the public hearing the Hearing Examiner issued his decision on April 30, 1990. The written decision provided a detailed analysis of the twelve conditions that were required by City Ordinance in order to approve the Vance application and allow the bed and breakfast as an acceptable and compatible use of the residential property. The decision is attached. Reviewing the Hearing Examiner's decision it is important to note that none of the twelve conditions set forth in the City's Ordinance and considered by the Hearing Examiner included any consideration of who the applicant was, linked the ultimate approval or denial of the application to the identity of the applicant, or in any way provided for a limitation of the approved use only to the applicant. Paragraph 9.11 of the Vance decision addresses the required condition that for home occupations the business may only be conducted by the immediate family members residing in the dwelling. The Hearing Examiner found that only the Vances would be running the business, this finding based upon the fact that only the Vances lived in the residence. This was not intended to be a finding that only the Vances could live in the residence, or only the Vances could operate the bed and breakfast in that residence. Limiting the operation of a home occupation to only the family residing in the home is not intended to imply that only the original applicant can ever operate the business, but rather that the business approved as a home occupation must only be operated by the family residing in the home, whoever that family may be. This restriction is intended to preserve the residential aspects of the neighborhood and avoid the transition of the neighborhood to a commercial district. Despite the fact that there was nothing in the City's Ordinance restricting the home occupation to a specific applicant, in paragraph 4(B) of the Conclusion portion of the Hearing Examiner's decision the Hearing Examiner stated "This home occupation as a bed and breakfast shall be personal to Mr. and Mrs. Gary Vance and shall be non- transferrable by them without Class 3 review and approval." This limitation was imposed without any stated Finding that would explain how or why this condition was included, and appears to have been pulled from the thin air, with nothing in the record supporting its inclusion. In addition, the Hearing Examiner's requirement for further application and Class 3 review if a subsequent owner of the property wished to continue the use of the property as a bed and breakfast is not supported by the YMC, and in fact the Class 2 home occupation review process may only be elevated to a Class 3 review by the City's Administrative Official. YMC 15.14.040(3)(e). The Hearing Examiner is not the City's Administrative Official. There is no authority granted under YMC Chapter 1.43 pertaining to the powers of the Hearing Examiner that allows the Examiner to unilaterally elevate an application review process to a higher level than what is specifically required by the YMC. Based upon this analysis it is my opinion that the Hearing Examiner's decision to restrict the approval of the bed and breakfast only to the Vances, unless a subsequent property owner wishing to continue the business submitted a new application and endured an elevated review process, is not supported by Ordinance or law and was essentially created by the Hearing Examiner for this particular applicant and application. There is nothing in the record that provides any support or explanation for the restrictive use approval granted by the Examiner, and it is my opinion that the Examiner unlawfully limited an application approval that typically would attach to the property upon the Examiner's approval of the application. t • • • The legal problem. that I see in the action taken by the Hearing Examiner, and that I foresee for the City Council if it were to follow the Vance example in the instant appeal decision, is a claim of arbitrary and capricious action that is unsupported by the provisions of the City's Ordinances or the record created before the Hearing Examiner. To place this limitation upon the approval of the requested use would essentially be "creating" a condition that is not contemplated or authorized by the Yakima Municipal Code. Imposing this restriction on the approval of the use without the authority of the law may subject the City to the strong possibility of a LUPA appeal. It is my opinion, and that of the MRSC attorney -I consulted while reviewing this matter, that under these conditions a LUPA appeal would have a significant chance of success. It is for this reason that I do not believe the Vance decision should be used as precedent for the decision pending before Council in the instant appeal consideration. It is also for this reason that I would recommend that the Council not limit an approval of the bed and breakfast use only to the applicant seeking the approval. B. Bruce Simpson Rezone Application — 3111 Tieton Drive In the case of the Simpson application, considered by the Hearing Examiner approximately eleven years after the Vance decision, a rezone of property was at issue for the purpose of permitting a significant and varied commercial use .of an R-1 zoned residential property. This application and process were dramatically different and distinguishable from the Vance case and from the present application for use of a residential dwelling to operate a bed and breakfast, the latter two being far less significant than a rezone request. One common thread connecting what occurred with the Simpson rezone and use application to that of the Vance bed and breakfast application exists in the fact that both applications received a great deal of public comment and ultimately a public hearing before the Hearing Examiner. This common thread extends to the fact the Hearing Examiner limited the use he approved in each case solely to the applicant and only allowed a subsequent purchaser of the property involved to continue the approved use after an additional review process was conducted. The significant difference between the Vance decision and the Simpson decision was that the Simpson decision was set forth in a development agreement which was used as a resolution of the application process. The significance of the use of a development agreement to support the conditions of the approval, including the limitation of the approval to the present applicant only, is that the parties to a development agreement are mutually negotiating and agreeing to the limitations and terms set forth in the agreement, and are not simply having such limitations imposed upon them. Therefore, while in the Vance application it appears the Hearing Examiner simply assumed the authority to restrict the approved land use to an individual applicant without any apparent support or explanation of the legal basis to do so, in the Simpson case the parties bargained for what they ultimately received. In the course of bargaining, whatever rights the Simpsons may have relinquished were deemed to have been relinquished with their consent. The distinction in the Hearing Examiner's means of reaching the similar results expressed in the Simpson and Vance cases provides a possible insight into what may have been a realization on the part of the Hearing Examiner that the action taken in 1990 with regard to the limitation placed upon the Vance approval was improper. The apparently arbitrary limitation on the Vance's use of their property as a bed and breakfast was not duplicated in the Simpson case, but rather was imposed through the negotiated conditions set forth in the development agreement that supported the limitation of the use. C. Conclusion After considering these two prior decisions on land use applications where the ultimate approvals were specifically limited to the applicant only, and based upon the analysis stated, it is my opinion that in the instant appeal the imposition of a similar limitation is not supported by the Yakima Municipal Code or the record created during the open record public hearing for this application. The Hearing Examiner's decision does not contemplate or mention a restrictive limitation of the approved use to the applicant only. Therefore, if the City Council chose to impose a similar restriction on the applicants seeking to operate the bed and breakfast at the Yakima Avenue location that decision may be considered an arbitrary and capricious action that could subject the City to a LUPA appeal of the Council decision. Were such an appeal brought against the City under these facts, I believe the appellants would have a good chance of success.

I have been watching the Rosdell Bed & Breakfast issue with considerable interest in the paper the past couple months as it will become a great addition to our extended neighborhood. Over a decade ago I went thru a long and tortuous process with the City of Yakima before I was allowed to convert my 1903 Victorian house on West Yakima Avenue into a home/office combination. We continue to lose many of our beautiful older homes and buildings across the city for a variety of reasons, including those lost just across the street from my office. If we do not allow for reasonable and practical approaches to dealing with changing times, we will lose more elegant houses. My Chiropractic office, museum's Gilbert House and the Memorial Foundation house are just a few examples in .this expanded neighborhood of structures no loner viable as family homes and successfully converted. The large mansion on the corner of 16` & Yakima Avenue was also the Boy Scouts of America office for many years prior to being reconverted into a large residence. Business has never been a total stranger to this beautiful and large area of our city!! A bed & breakfast is designed to be low key and encourage a relaxing experience to the traveler, while providing them with a quality elegant settingfor their visit. We will now find this at arms length to the rebirth of Yakima and all the downtown happenings; from the Seasons and Capital Theatre's, Farmer's market and Front Street establishments to winery tastings and restaurants. We as a community cannot afford to continue putting up with a NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) attitude to such a great proposal and opportunity to maintain a truly remarkable piece of Yakima history. There are many other examples beside myself, of owners that have taken great pride and expense in restoring or maintaining these beautiful examples of living history thru a business.

Testimony at the Public Hearing. Facts and arguments presented in the form of testimony at the open record public hearing that have a bearing on this decision may be summarized as follows in the order in which they were presented at the hearing: (1) Alice Klein: City Assistant Planner Alice Klein presented her staff report which concluded that the proposed home occupation bed and breakfast met all the zoning ordinance requirements and should be approved subject to five conditions. (2) Holli Radke: As the current owner of the A.E. Larson home also known as the Rosedell Manor, she and her husband would like to open a home occupation bed and breakfast that would not change the zoning. There are several home occupations throughout the Barge -Chestnut Association area. There are 23 on Yakima Avenue, Park Avenue and Chestnut Avenue alone. Two properties that border their home have home occupation uses. Since there has previously been a bed and breakfast in the Holli Radke Home Occupation Bed and Breakfast 1811 West Yakima Avenue UAZO C1(2) #22-08; HE #3-08 4 DOC. INDEX RECEIVED AUG 1 4 2008 CITY OF YAKIMA PLANNING DIY. Barge -Chestnut Association area, this is not setting a precedent. They hope to open in early spring, starting with 3 rooms. Rosedell is a large 23 -room home just under 10,000 square feet on .an acre and a half. And it is currently on the National Historic Register. According to information provided by the President of the Yakima Valley Visitors & Convention Bureau, bed and breakfast customers are older and highly educated with high income levels. Neither the house nor the driveway would have a commercial look. (3) Jenifer Wilde McMurtrie: She is with the Yakima Historical Preservation Commission and lives in the neighborhood. When she moved into the neighborhood, Rosedell was run down. It was being tagged and continually vandalized until the Radkes purchased the property. It is now historically preserved correctly with care and with love. We don't have large families anymore, so the next best option for a house of this size is a bed and breakfast. With the neighborhood on the verge of being the first historical neighborhood in Yakima, this would be a natural fit. Traditionally there have always been businesses in the neighborhood for the past 80 years. After doing a lot of research, she learned that everything from accountants, beauty salons, boarding houses, doctors offices and dental labs have been in that neighborhood for a - long time. During the depression era, a lot of the owners of the homes took in boarders because of the economic conditions. Given the taxes in this day and age, there is also a financial necessity of doing that. It's a historical district with tourism as a bonus. The area already has the Gilbert house where there are weddings, receptions and plant sales. Rosedell is a jewel that needs to be shared. If it were going to be anything but a bed and breakfast, she would be opposed to it. But a bed and breakfast is a plus for the City of Yakima, for the tourism and for the historic district as well. So she supports the Radkes for the job that they have done because it has been a labor of love. (4) . Freya Burgstaller: She lives at 1507 Belmont Avenue and sees this as a wonderful opportunity for this community to open up Rosedell. Tourists, as well as people returning to their hometown, will appreciate the fact that this community shares one of its jewels and the opportunity to stay at the beautiful place. Rosedell needs to be shared. If somebody is willing to open it up to the public, they should be welcome and there should not be one iota of opposition to that.

In August, the first phase designating a historic district will come before the City Council. Rosedell will be in a future phase of this historic district designation. Part of the wonderful benefit of working as a volunteer on this project is to actually walk the streets of this neighborhood and to appreciate the huge diversity and the interesting lives of the people that lived in the neighborhood. Certainly A.E. Larson is one of the most historic people to have lived in Yakima. He was a contributor to our community. He would love the Radkes for what they have done to his home. She went through Rosedell a few years ago when it was for sale and saw the disrepair it was in and the tremendous investment it would take to bring this house back. The Radkes have really done a wonderful task of giving this structure back to the community. It's a community asset. Typically buildings of this size and style are of no appeal to current single families as just purely residential. Having it converted to a bed and breakfast not only gives it back to the community, but also preserves it for a longer period of time. So she is totally in support of the bed and breakfast. She would not support other uses of this, but a bed and breakfast use is a very low impact 1 use. She is concerned about the traffic on Yakima Avenue, as is the Barge -Chestnut Association, but certainly the number of cars that this bed and breakfast would bring onto this street is minor compared to the impact of the two churches across the street that already exist and the traffic that currently travels through this neighborhood to get to the hospital. There is interest in working with the Radkes through the traffic committee to make sure that their patrons are safe as they access this business. She also speaks on behalf of the small business owners of Yakima in terms of supporting a young couple that wants to run a small business that is tied into the wonderful historic J preservation efforts in downtown Yakima. It is a perfect fit. She supports the staff recommendation to approve the application. (6) Yvonne Wilbur: She is a member of the Yakima Historical Society and is with the Woman's Century Club which has owned the George Donald House since 1930. Rose Larson was one of the women. Since grants or other help to maintain old houses cannot be obtained, converting them to a bed and breakfast can save them. Because of the history of this house, it has to be saved. When people come, it can't just be wine. It's got to be something else. L Holli Radke 6 Home Occupation Bed and Breakfast 1811 West Yakima Avenue UAZO C1(2) #22-08; HE #3-08 DOC. INDEX RECEIVED AUG 1 4 2008 CITY OF YAKIMA PLANNING DIV. (7) William OHare: He. is in favor of the bed and breakfast. This home was constructed in 1906 and placed on a historical register in 1990. The property had been neglected for a number of years before being purchased by the present owners. The grounds and buildings were an eye -sore to the neighborhood. The owners have worked full-time to restore this property. There has been a remarkable improvement in this historic landmark. The gutter, the roof, the paint and the interior restoration of this structure utilize the best quality materials and workmanship. Ninety percent of the restoration has been done by the owners. They are skilled, dedicated and talented. They have spent literally . thousand of hours and dollars on this project. The neighborhood has already benefited by the regeneration of this property. Bed and breakfast customers are typically 45 -plus years old with a household income of more than $100,000 and 'a college education, not. a rough crowd. A bed and breakfast would not disturb the quality of this neighborhood. The amount of traffic would be absolutely minimal. The bed and breakfast would enhance visitors' opinion of our area. What better opportunity do we have to show off a classy historic home in Yakima? The present owners are hard-working, dedicated, responsible individuals. They have taken over a restoration project that few others would even consider. As owners of a bed and breakfast it would be professionally -managed. This home needs to be shared .with others. It has long been ignored by previous owners, citizens and the City of Yakima. Many cities turn historic homes like the Larson home into a museum to showcase their city's history. Yakima really does need to take pride in this classic home . and help showcase it. It is an opportunity to take advantage of this treasure, without doubt one of the most historic homes in Yakima. What better way to promote Yakima than with a quality bed and breakfast? A bed and breakfast at Rosedell will not change the quality of anyone's life. It's a huge lot, more than an acre and a quarter. It is really a jewel of this City and needs to be exposed to others. It needs to be shared. (8) Jerry Ward: He has lived in Yakima since 1968 and is at the hearing on behalf of Daryl Parker, the only grandchild of Rose and A.E. Larson. Daryl Parker lives in Monroe and was unable to attend because of health issues. This community would be hard pressed to fmd another philanthropist to equal what he has done for this community. His letter in favor the bed and breakfast which is a part of the record in this matter was read. It indicated that this important opportunity to revive the grandeur ofthis historical home cannot be overlooked and that a bed and breakfast Holli Radke Home Occupation Bed and Breakfast 1811 West Yakima Avenue UAZO C1(2) #22-08; HE #3-08 7 DOC. INDEX RECEIVED AUG 1 4 2008 CITY OF YAKIMA PLANNING DIV. generally connotes a place with historical value or special offerings aside from typical lodging. This bed and breakfast would not adversely affect the surrounding neighbors and should be approved in order to further the life of these historical landmarks. (9) Paul Coffman: He is the director of History Alive Today, a Washington State non-profit with the charge of preservation of historical buildings, primarily residences. There can be a lot of speculation about the impact a bed and breakfast in the neighborhood would have over a long term. The best thing that could be done if there is any question about the impact of a bed and breakfast on a community is to look at the 3 top bed and breakfast communities in this nation. That would be Savanna, Georgia;. St. Augustine, Florida; and Louisville, Kentucky. Not only do they encourage bed and breakfast uses, but they even fmancially support them. What you will fmd is a history of bed and breakfast uses and residential neighbors living together. You won't fmd a speculative outcome, but you will fmd the actual history of 20-30 years of working together. And you will fmd 30 years of economic improvement, neighborhood development and impact on the downtown business district because of the attention to the historic preservation of the surrounding neighborhoods. (10) - Scott Irons: He resides at 102 Park Avenue next to the Radkes. He is a Yakima native and is on the Yakima Preservation Commission. He has watched the Radkes improve the property since they moved in. He runs a home business out of his house which is low impact to the neighborhood and thinks a bed and breakfast which is usually by appointment only is similarly low impact to the neighborhood. There is a 10,000 -square -foot house and a second house on the property with a large landscaped area that a lot of single families aren't willing to take on. So that puts it into a different category where someone may need to do a home business to help keep the property nicely maintained, and that is what he believes will happen. If they have continued success with their bed and breakfast, they will continue to maintain the home and do the repairs that have been needed to be done for decades. He supports their request. (11) Walt Ranta: He first read a letter which is in the record from Gary Forrest, a member of the Barge -Chestnut Neighborhood Association who has lived at 3011 Barge Street for the past 39 years. The letter was complimentary .of the Radkes' efforts to restore Rosedell to its present condition. It noted the long list of . home Holli Radke Home Occupation Bed and Breakfast 1811 West Yakima Avenue UAZO C1(2) #22-08; HE #3-08 8 DOC.

It noted the Radkes' seeming flexibility regarding their parking design and the fact that 4 or 5 extra vehicles traveling Yakima Avenue is not a problem. The traffic taking a short cut to the hospital is a greater problem. The letter further noted that the neighborhood has been open to home-based business under the zoning ordinance for a long time and the neighborhood has survived the last 75 years quite well. The 'Polk City Directories indicate that in the 1930's and 1940's every other house it seemed was a bed and breakfast, only they didn't call it that back then. Some were called boarding houses. Others where just renting out the spare room to make ends meet. The letter stated that he is in favor of a bed and breakfast as a family -operated home business operated under present zoning regulations. If done well, it could become a great asset to the neighborhood and to the Radkes. If nothing more, the letter concluded, it would provide the incentive and means to continue with restoration of the home and grounds which certainly benefits the neighborhood. Mr. Ranta lives at 5 South 32nd Avenue and supports this proposal as long as it remains under the R-1 zoning. Anything that would cause this to change to an R-2, R-3, business or similar zone would bring him back up here having some serious discussions. As long as this remains R-1 under the current guidelines as presented and with strict guidelines being enforced, this is actually going to be a benefit. The work that has gone into this house has greatly improved the neighborhood. The run-down look of it actually detracted from the neighborhood as people came in. Rosedell is a gateway house into that neighborhood. Restoring it to its grandeur is very important. Mr. Ranta's views are also detailed in a letter which is in the record of this matter. A majority of the homes whose residents have expressed opposition to the proposed parking area have more parking in front of their homes than what is being requested at this home. One has black asphalt that will hold 6, 8 or possibly 10 vehicles and is much larger than what is being requested at this site. The planned parking area meets the community standard as to parking. There are many home-based businesses in this neighborhood. There have been other bed and breakfasts. Again, as long as they remain under that R-1 guideline, these have actually allowed the people in those homes to maintain and improve the integrity of their homes and the neighborhood. In his neighborhood alone on 32nd, there is a gentleman who rebuilt his house to make it much more beautiful and to add an office for his contracting business. A family has been able to maintain their residence at the corner of 32nd and Chestnut by having a dance studio there. Down the street there has Holli Radke Home Occupation Bed and Breakfast 1811 West Yakima Avenue UAZO CI(2) #22-08; HE #3-08 DOC.

None of these have deteriorated or detracted from the neighborhood. They have actually allowed these people to maintain their homes and in many cases to improve the quality of their homes and the homes around them. As far as allowing other businesses, R-1 uses are already allowed under the codes, so the proposal is not going to open . up the area to other businesses that aren't already allowed. If something else tries to come in, people will again be trying to preserve the neighborhood. There are historic buildings that have been turned into a bed and breakfast in other cities such as Spokane, Olympia and Seattle. In Spokane, the first mayor's house was turned into a restaurant. A house just a couple houses away from that was turned into a bed and breakfast. This allows people to come into that rather historic neighborhood, with a destination and reason to come there, and enjoy the neighborhood. The Larson house would do this as well. It would be a gateway into our historic neighborhood that an attempt is being made to preserve. What it boils down to is, fortunately or unfortunately depending on your position, current codes allow this. ' The parking and function are not out of line with what's already in the neighborhood. Under these very strict guidelines that are established by the City, he would support this. If it goes beyond that or if any future requests 'are made to change that, then his presence will be seen down here again. (12) Durella DeGrasse: She has lived at 2109 West Chestnut for the past 25 years and is opposed to the project. Under 15.04.090, Home Occupation Purpose, a business within a dwelling is allowed if certain conditions are met, one being maintaining and preserving the character of the residential neighborhood. Allowing commercialization of Rosedell does not maintain or preserve the character of this irreplaceable neighborhood or comply with the Home Occupation Purpose to promote the efficient use of public services and facilities by assuring that these services are provided to the residential population for which they were planned and constructed rather than commercial uses. Holli Radke's request for an application is not in the best interest of the community. It is being proposed because it could be a money- making commercial enterprise. Under the 15.04.090 Home Occupation necessary condition that there are no external alterations to the building that changes the character from the dwelling, a blacktop parking lot in the front yard will suggest commercialism. This neighborhood has united in opposition in the past to any commercialization because the residents appreciate where they live.

She met a woman in Franklin Park a few months ago who had recently moved back to Yakima who indicated that she drove up Yakima Avenue and noted that nothing had changed, which is a perfect thing to be able to say about a beautiful old established area. (13) Doug Picatti: He lives at 2004 West Yakima Avenue. He first read notes written by Skip Semon who had to leave the hearing and who had submitted a letter which is in the record. Mr. Semon lives at 1818 West Yakima Avenue across the street from Rosedell and is opposed to the bed and breakfast. A 4 -car parking lot in the middle of the yard across the street from his home changes the character of the area and gives it a commercial look and feel. The bed and breakfast will be the start of commercial creep into this neighborhood. Due to the City's limited resources, monitoring supervision will be a low priority for the City. The facility could morph into something even more commercial than a bed and breakfast. None of the existing home businesses in the neighborhood require, parking lots or have overnight clientele. This bed and breakfast is not in the best interest of the community and would have a detrimental effect on the neighborhood. Mr. Semon's notes concluded with the fact that since he became a homeowner in this strictly residential neighborhood in 1985, he has opposed a number of proposals to change it and is again here asking that his neighborhood not be commercialized. Mr. Picatti appreciates the opportunity for a public hearing and realizes there are passionate people on all sides of the issue. He also appreciates the phenomenal job that Paul and Holli have done in improving the property and is grateful that they chose to move here from another community. They are spectacular neighbors and he hopes that they live here for many years. As the incoming chair of the Yakima Valley Visitors & Convention Bureau, he is aware that this community does in fact need good places to stay and certainly supports bed and breakfasts in general. The issues before us today are land use issues. His position is that the proposal is not an appropriate use in this particular family neighborhood. The Barge -Chestnut -Yakima Avenue area is considered by many to be the most historic neighborhood, or one of the most historic family neighborhoods, in Yakima. This neighborhood and community are blessed to have a resource and community asset like this neighborhood. The neighborhood has Franklin Park, the museum, the school and many concerts, festivals, events, sporting events, and it really adds to the quality of life. Unlike other neighborhoods, this neighborhood is a community resource. Holli Radke Home Occupation Bed and Breakfast 1811 West Yakima Avenue UAZO C1(2) #22-08; HE #3-08 11 DOC.

He knows from volunteering his time on the downtown committee that many consider 16th Avenue to be the dividing line between traditional family neighborhoods and commercial downtown businesses. Rosedell is a very unique property. It is the gateway to Yakima's historic family neighborhood. It is a very significant property not just for what it is, but also for what it represents. When you make a change to an asset such as Rosedell, it is very significant because it defines an area and a neighborhood. By changing the way that the home is used, it would ultimately change the whole community and the whole neighborhood. Over the nearly 15 years that he has lived in this wonderful neighborhood, he has been in this same room with neighbors passionate about this community when the use of this property has come up repeatedly. There have been numerous attempts to turn it into something other than what it has historically been, which is a family -use residence. The precedent has been set because such attempts have been repeatedly defeated. Although we are blessed to have local people who would occupy and run the bed and breakfast, the concern is what would happen to the property if they should choose at some point to leave the community? This request should be denied because it is not a consistent use with the neighborhood, the flavor of the neighborhood, and this community treasure should be preserved for all the neighborhood citizens and the citizens of Yakima today and for years to come. (14) Susan Johnsson: She is here on behalf of her parents, Dr. and Mrs. Richard Sackmann. They have written a letter which is included in the record. They have been in this position many times before saying basically the same thing. They areagainst the bed and breakfast and are interested in preserving the family quality of the neighborhood. When she was 11 years old, they moved from Gilbert Drive into the house at 1817 West Yakima Avenue which is right next door to Rosedell. They call it the Derby house because they lived there as neighbors for at least 20 years and maintained it as a private home for their family. Now her parents are very ill and this issue is causing them great concern, particularly the parking lot right next to their property. That is not in keeping with the quality of their neighborhood. The quality of the neighborhood is exactly the same as it was in the 1950's. Every single home there has been maintained with pride at great expense. This kind of community -- where people are maintaining their homes, beautiful flowers and gardens, where people care about each other and will come to a meeting like this to protect and Holli Radke Home Occupation Bed and Breakfast 1811 West Yakima Avenue UAZO C1(2) #22-08; HE #3-08 12 DOC.

She brings her children here every Christmas to see what a real community is, to see a beautiful neighborhood that has not changed. It means a lot to her to walk down that street on Gilbert Drive . and see all of those homes looking exactly the same. Although they are restoring this one home, all the other people that live in this neighborhood are invested there, not as a piece of real estate, but as a place that is home. The neighborhood has an impact on people from outside the community. She is against the commercialization of this property because hopefully, for many generations, the integrity of these homes will be respected, as well as the people who are invested financially in preserving these homes. It is interesting that someone could move into this residential community and exploit its beauty. Although it is nice for people who come from outside the community to see the beauty, what about her parents' privacy and desire to preserve the property as residential and not allow a bed and breakfast in this neighborhood? (15) Darlene Picatti: She echoes her husband's comments and wishes to add that this is all about commercialization and opening the door, even though everyone says the door isn't open and they would all come back and fight. It would be much more difficult the next time this happens. And there will be a next time because in the 15 years that she has lived there she has been in this hearing room 4 times for the same exact thing. The Radkes are a lovely couple who have done a beautiful job with the property and are commended for that. The property has been in disrepair due to absentee ownership and foreclosure. It was not run down until 4-5 years ago. Attempts were made to exploit it for a commercial purpose, but it ended up in a foreclosure situation. The bank was able to sell it at a great loss. to get rid of it. It needed a ton of repair. They are commended for taking it on, but Rosedell is the gateway to this community which starts as you come up Yakima Avenue. If all of a sudden it is assumed that it is more commercial now because it is a bed and breakfast, what's to stop the next guy from doing the same thing. It is a lot easier for that to be allowed again after it is allowed once. Although she doesn't mind home occupations, most of this house, rather than a small part of it, would be for commercial use. A very small portion would be used as a home. The guests are only there overnight, but if 3 of 4 bedrooms are being used commercially, it cannot seem to be a home occupation such as an architect or dental lab. The existing dental use is only a dental lab where Holli Radke Home Occupation Bed and Breakfast 1811 West Yakima Avenue UAZO 0(2) #22-08; HE #3-08 13 DOC.

(16) Sue Fenich: She and her husband have lived at 1901 West Yakima Avenue for nearly 20 years. She wrote a letter which is included in the record. Her home was built in 1907. Like the Radkes, she and her husband truly appreciate the love and care that went into building these magnificent homes. But unlike the Radkes, they want to be family caretakers to keep the home in the .way that it was originally intended. They have spent thousands of dollars maintaining and improving their home. The Radkes are not alone in that endeavor. However, there are numerous homeowners in the neighborhood who are getting on in years, who in the next 20 years will no longer be in the neighborhood. If a bed and breakfast is allowed at the gateway to this historical neighborhood, the residents will not be able to keep the continuation or the creep of commercial uses from inundating their neighborhood and those beautiful historic homes. It concerns her that Holli commented at a neighborhood meeting some 6 weeks ago that she doesn't know if she is even going to like having a bed and breakfast since she doesn't like to cook and clean. As a real estate agent from Nevada, perhaps she saw this home that she could buy at a fire -sale price as a money -making opportunity to be improved and converted into a bed and breakfast to be sold at a profit. That is not what this neighborhood is about. The neighborhood is about community and preservation of the last beautiful historical neighborhood in Yakima County. The wishes of those of us who have lived there 20 - plus years and have invested much money, time and effort into maintaining the integrity of their neighborhood should be considered. (17) James Carmody: He as a land use attorney for the past 25 years has been asked to speak of this unique neighborhood on behalf of each of those who have just spoken previously in opposition to this application. This is a unique neighborhood in the context of land use. Over the course of time it has stood up to the creeping commercialization and fought to preserve what is there today. That effort from that community has worked to preserve what is there today. That is why the community is what it is today. If they hadn't stood up, the church next door would be different, other houses would be. something different, all that had progressed, or sought to progress, would have occurred. You wouldn't have what you have, and that is why this matter is important today. This is not a case involving any question about historical preservation.

But every one of the other homes on this street deserves ,the same dignity, and that is what each of the people who have spoken today have done. They have invested and they have fought to protect the integrity of that neighborhood. Reflecting back on the land use history of the church use across the street and an application to divide the property up and make it multifamily uses, questions came up as to whether the project was good and whether the person was to be trusted to really carry through. The correct answer is that you have to look at any usage in any application in the context of the land use itself. What does your zoning ordinance provide? You have to divorce yourself from the people. Even though everyone appreciates what the Radkes are doing with this home for the community, that doesn't justify an end that is not supported by the zoning ordinance or the rules. The rules are there to give protection, direction and focus with respect to what can take place on a piece of land. You have to divorce yourself from personalities and all of that. If that were not the case, then we would have an arbitrary standard. Rationalization to the effect that this use is ok because there are other home occupations in this area is a concern and is why this proposal is an issue. It has nothing to do with preservation. It has to do with a question of whether it is appropriate to commercialize this venture. Is it appropriate to convert it from a residential usage, which is its primary and intended purpose, to a commercial venture? And that is the question to be asked and the zoning ordinance really gives pretty precise guidelines as to when and how that can occur. Table 4-1 sets forth the first fundamental premise that a bed and breakfast is not a permitted use in a single-family residential zone. The next question is whether the exception allowed for a home occupation changes that rule. The ordinance is real clear in terms of what is required for a home occupation. In a very fundamental sense, it is basically a residence which has that as its primary purpose. The zoning ordinance sets up 12 conditions that have to all be met in order for this to be approved and it is his judgment that those conditions are not met in this instance. He addressed several of the conditions in the manner set forth in his Memorandum included in the record which are described and addressed in the manner set forth below in this decision. His testimony concluded with a request to above all apply the conditions stated in the ordinance for home occupations. (18) Paul Radke: He lives at 1811 West Yakima Avenue and is Holli's husband.

Having a bed and breakfast in it will ensure that the house will never fall into its former state of disrepair again. The house will continue to be preserved for future generations and the grounds will be maintained. The Larson house just may be the cornerstone of Yakima's Historic District and in the past 20 years it's proven to be too much for the average homeowner to take on. Even though he and Holli have a strong background in construction and renovation, it was a huge challenge for them to take on. Using their knowledge and abilities, they have restored Rosedell back to its original stature by spending thousands of hours and dollars in doing so. The best thing for the house would be to have a low impact business such as a bed and breakfast in it to ensure that it is maintained and preserved for future generations. The proposed bed and breakfast is not classified as a commercial business, nor is a zoning change to run a commercial business being requested. They have applied for a home occupation permit which allows a homeowner to run a business from the home. They did the research in the neighborhood and in quickly surveying only Yakima Avenue, Park Avenue and Chestnut Avenue, they found 23 houses that have home occupation permits. Previous requests that would require the zoning to be changed to hold weddings and receptions or to turn the home into a gentleman's club would have had a high impact on the neighborhood. Typically bed and breakfasts are known for a low impact and quiet environment. Although some are opposed to having a driveway in the front of the house, there are many other houses on Yakima Avenue with driveways in front, some that are even bigger than the one that is proposed. They should not be treated different from their neighbors. The purpose of the driveway is to allow use of the front door to avoid the narrow driveway, steep incline and 15 steps to the rear door. Just a few doors down is the Gilbert House which has a lot larger driveway and hosts large events such as weddings and receptions. The driveway in the front of the home would make the property more functional and safe. Regarding testimony about the neighbors being united against putting any kind of commercial development into this house, only 16- 20 residents of the 1,100 or so houses comprising the Barge -Chestnut community oppose the proposal. People stop by all the time indicating what a great idea it is to turn the house into a bed and breakfast and complimenting them for fixing it up. When they asked their neighbors who border their property what they thought about a bed and breakfast, 5 out of the 6 thought it was a great idea. Two of those in favor are already running businesses from their homes and would be the ones most impacted by the change.

A bed and breakfast at Rosedell would have nothing but positive effects on the community and Rosedell itself. It is very important that Rosedell be protected from the effects of time. It is 100 years old and hopefully will be here for another 100 years. The money that is acquired by the bed and breakfast will go towardmaintaining the house and the grounds. They will be lucky to break even and maybe just make a little. They meet all the legal requirements to have a home occupation permit, and the City staff has recommended approval of the application.

X. Class (2) Use Review Criteria. This Class (2) use application has been referred to the Hearing Examiner for Class (3) review involving a public hearing. The application seeks the Hearing . Examiner's approval of a Class (2) home occupation bed and breakfast use. The Class (2) use review criteria are the same as the Class (3) use review criteria, the difference being that the zoning ordinance indicates that Class (2) uses have a presumption in favor of their compatibility and are generally permitted while Class (3) uses have a presumption against their compatibility and are not generally permitted. In both cases the Hearing Examiner's findings and conclusions are required to set forth specific reasons and ordinance provisions demonstrating that his decision satisfies the following requirements set forth in Subsection 15.04.020(2) under the procedure set forth in Subsection 15.15.040(5) of the Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance (UAZO): Holli Radke Home Occupation Bed and Breakfast 1811 West Yakima Avenue UAZO C1(2) #22-08; HE #3-08 18 Dw. INDEX # 44-1 RECEIVED AUG 1 4 2008 CITY OF YAKIMA PLANNING DIV. (1) Compliance and Compatibility with the Intent and Character of the Single -Family Residential (R-1) Zoning District. Table 4-2 of the UAZO specifically allows a home occupation bed and breakfast use as a Class (2) use that is presumed to be compatible in the R-1 zoning district if it complies with enumerated conditions specified in the zoning ordinance. The question of compliance with those zoning ordinance conditions is at the heart of the disagreement as to this proposal. Each condition must be addressed in order to decide this matter. The respective arguments and the Examiner's analysis of them are as follows: (i) Subsection 15.04.090(C)(1) of the UAZO: This provision allows a home occupation bed and breakfast in the R-1 zoning district only if "The home occupation is conducted inside a structure within property on which is established the primary residence of the practitioner(s)." The Memorandum of James Carmody submitted on behalf of those opposed to the proposal argues that a parking area in front of the facility is an externalmanifestation of the home occupation which violates this section. The Memorandum of Philip Lamb on behalf of the Radkes counters that the Radkes have lived in the home on the property as their primary residence since their purchase of the property in 2005. The home occupation bed and breakfast under consideration is defined by Section 15.02.020 of the UAZO as follows: "Bed and Breakfast means a residential structure providing individuals with lodging and meals for not more than 30 days. For Home Occupations, such uses are limited to having not more than five lodging units or guest rooms." Since the activity and purpose of this home occupation land use is defined by the UAZO as the provision of lodging and meals to guests rather than the parking or storage of vehicles, the proposed home occupation as defined in the zoning ordinance would be conducted entirely within the structure regardless of where the guests park their cars. The intent of this condition is to require that the lodging and meals be provided inside a structure on the property where the primary residence of those providing the lodging and meals is located. The proposal would comply with that condition. Holli Radke Home Occupation Bed and Breakfast 1811 West Yakima Avenue UAZO C1(2) #22-08; HE #3-08 19 DOC. INDEX RECEIVED AUG 1 4 2008 CITY OF YAKIMA PLANNING DIV. (ii) Subsection 15.04.090(C)(2) of the UAZO: This provision allows a home occupation bed and breakfast in the R-1 zoning district only if "The home occupation is. incidental and subordinate to the residential functions of the property" and states that "No action related to the home occupation shall be permitted that impairs reasonable residential use of the dwelling." The Memorandum of James Carmody in this regard argues that the home occupation is not incidental and subordinate to the residential functions of the property because three of the four bedrooms will be rented for overnight stay and the common areas will be used by guests so as to utilize 75% of the dwelling for commercial purposes. Another written comment similarly argues that this condition cannot be satisfied because nearly 60% of the floor area of the dwelling will be available for use by guests of the bed and breakfast. The Memorandum of Philip Lamb on behalf of the Radkes counters that prior occupants, as residents, have included up to ten family members with seven vehicles and that compliance with the ordinance definition as to the specific maximum number of home occupation guest rooms allowed is what the City Council intended to require to ensure compatibility. As previously noted, Section 15.02.020 of the UAZO specifies how many guest rooms can be included within a home occupation bed and breakfast without violating the conditions for such a use: Bed and Breakfast ... For Home Occupations, such uses are limited to having not more than five lodging units or guest rooms." First, there would be no purpose in limiting the number of guest rooms in a home occupation bed and breakfast to five if the limitation is in fact to be less than half the number of bedrooms or interior square footage used by the permanent residents of the home. Secondly, neither of those measures of subordinate or incidental uses are applicable in. a bed and breakfast situation because, unlike other home occupations, the provision of lodging and meals to guests in a residence by residents of a single- family residence are themselves "residential functions" being conducted on the property that do not impair reasonable residential use of the property within the intended meaning of this home occupation requirement. Home occupations such as physicians or dentists offices, small engine or appliance repair shops, dog grooming services, carpentry or the like would clearly involve a discernible difference between the primary residential use and the accessory nonresidential use of the property. But with a home occupation bed and breakfast, the types of residential functions involving the permanent residents and the guests would be similar, the main difference being the Holli Radke Home Occupation Bed and Breakfast 1811 West Yakima Avenue UAZO C1(2) #22-08; HE #3-08 20 DOC. INDEX RECEIVED AUG 1 4 2008 CITY OF YAKiiw„ PLANNING DIV control of the property by the permanent residents. Both the permanent residents and the guests pay for the lodging and the meals being provided in the residence by its residents, just in different ways to different people. The fact that guests pay for the lodging and meals does not change the land use characterization of the activities being conducted on the property as "residential functions." If there is any question as to the intended meaning of this home occupation condition, it must be construed in favor of the. applicant. Sleasman v. City of Lacey, 159 Wn.2d 639, 643, 151 P.3d 990 (2007), citing Morin v. Johnson, 49 Wn.2d 275, 279, 300 P.2d 569 (1956). (iii) Subsection 15.04.090(C)(3) of the UAZO: This provision allows a home occupation bed and breakfast in the R-1 zoning district only if "There are no external alterations to the building which changes its character from a dwelling" and requires that "That portion of the structure or facilities in which a home occupation is to be sited must be so designed that it may be readily converted to serve residential use of the dwelling." The Memorandum of Mr. Carmody, as well as others in opposition to the proposal, argue that the existence of a commercial parking lot on the front of the property, conceivably with striping, is an external alteration to the building which changes its character from a dwelling. The Memorandum of Mr. Lamb counters that the owner of the residence would be able to put a large driveway, . parking area and multi -car garage nearly anyplace on the property subject perhaps only to the 45% lot coverage limitation, and that many property owners in the area have done so due to the lack of on -street parking in that portion of West Yakima Avenue. He also argues that adding four parking spaces for the bed and breakfast guests, which- is 1.1 spaces for each guest room per Table 6-1 of the UAZO, is not a commercial . parking lot. Section 15.02.020. provides: "Parking Lot means a facility designed to serve parking for five (5) or more motor vehicles." In addition to the reasons advanced by Mr. Lamb, the plain wording of this condition applies to "alterations to the building" which "changes its character from a dwelling." A new parking area does not alter the building or change it from a dwelling. An ordinance is to be interpreted according to the plain and ordinary meaning of the language used. Sadona v. CleElum, 37 Wn.2d 831, 83.7 226 P.2d 889 (1951). There is no contention that the use of the residence by guests would require any changes to convert it to serve residential use of the dwelling.

(iv) Subsection 15.04.090(C)(4) of the UAZO: This provision allows a home occupation bed and breakfast in the R-1 zoning district only if "The business is conducted in a manner that will not alter the normal residential character of the premises by the use of color, materials, lighting and signs, or the emission of noise, vibration, dust, glare, heat, smoke, or odors." The Memorandum from Mr. Carmody and others in opposition to the proposal argue that the proposed commercial parking lot will change the normal residential character of the premises and will increase noise and activity levels. The Memorandum of Mr. Lamb counters that there will be the small sign permitted by the ordinance, but no alteration of the normal residential character of the premises. The proposal will satisfy this condition because, as previously noted, a home occupation bed and breakfast involves "residential functions" related to lodging and meals for the permanent residents and, as to the guests, temporary residents of a single-family residence. These residential activities will not "alter the normal residential character of the premises." Likewise, since normal single-family residences can have larger parking areas and more vehicular traffic than here proposed or expected, those features of this proposal would not "alter the normal residential character of the property." (v) Subsection 15.04.090(C)(5) of the UAZO: This provision allows a home occupation bed and breakfast in the R-1 zoning district only if "The home occupation does not generate materially greater traffic volumes than would normally be expected in a residential neighborhood." The Memorandum of Mr. Carmody argues that the 1997 ITE Trip Generation publication specifies 9.57 average vehicle trip ends on a weekday for single-family detached housing and 8.92 such trips for each occupied overnight room, which is characterized as a four -fold increase. The Memorandum of Mr. Lamb points out that that a Yoga instructor home occupation at 101 Park Avenue immediately adjacent to the Radke property could involve hourly sessions with up to 5 students that would generate far greater traffic volumes than the proposal. The same would be true of doctors and dentists seeing up to 3 patients per hour and home instruction of 6-8 students which are Class (2) home occupation uses in the R-1 zoning district. Mr. Lamb's Memorandum includes a copy of a 2005 Seattle SEPA Threshold Determination for amendments to bed and breakfast requirements which indicates that the ITE does not publish a vehicle trip generation rate for bed and breakfast uses, only for hotels and motels, and that 4 daily vehicle trips per room or 12 such trips for all three rooms would be generated. That figure assumes full Holli Radke Home Occupation Bed and Breakfast 1811 West Yakima Avenue UAZO C1(2) #22-08; HE #3-08 22 DOC. INDEX RECEIVED AUG 1 4 2008 aTY OF Y,AKIMA PLAIR046 Y. occupancy. Mr. Lamb argues that larger homes with larger families, including teenagers, often exceed the average and that, by way of illustration, Radkes' parcel could be divided into 7 single-family lots of 7,000 square feet each or, with Class (2) use approval, could be developed with duplexes, zero lot line dwellings or up to 7 multi -family dwellings, all of which would certainly generate greater traffic volumes -than will be generated by the proposed home occupation bed and breakfast. In any event, the test for this condition is not a comparison with the average trip generation of an average home. The condition rather requires "materially greater traffic volumes" than would "normally be expected in a residential neighborhood." Rosedell is not an average home in an average residential neighborhood. The evidence did not establish what traffic volumes would normally be expected in this or some other residential neighborhood. That would certainly depend on the size and density of the residences in the neighborhood. But the traffic volumes expected from the proposed home occupation bed and breakfast were not even great enough for the City to require traffic concurrency review under the City's Transportation Capacity Management Ordinance. In terms of this particular home occupation condition, the weight of the evidence was to the effect that the volume of additional traffic expected from the proposal will not be "materially greater" than current levels in the neighborhood. (vi) Subsection 15:04.090(C)(6) of the UAZO: This provision allows a home occupation bed and breakfast in the R-1 zoning district only if "There is no outside storage or display of any kind related to the home occupation." There is no evidence in the record suggesting that the applicant cannot or will not comply with this requirement. (vii) Subsection 15.04.090(C)(7) of the UAZO: This provision allows a home occupation bed and breakfast in the R-1 zoning district only if "The home occupation does not require the use of electrical or mechanical equipment that would change the fire rating of the structure." There is no evidence in the record suggesting that the . applicant cannot or will not comply with this requirement. (viii) Subsection 15.04.090(C)(8) of the UAZO: This provision allows a home occupation bed and breakfast in the R-1 zoning district only if "The home occupation does not require the use of electrical equipment that exceeds FCC standards for residential use."

In this regard, the Memorandum of Mr. Carmody argues that 3 bedrooms which each have a bathroom will cause significantly more water and sewer usage than the average usage for residences inthe neighborhood without providing specific evidence of the average water and sewer usage in the neighborhood to support that claim. One of those opposed to the proposal argued that the average household size in Yakima in 2000 was 2.63 people and that even 50% occupancy of the three guest rooms in the proposal would double the usage. The Memorandum of Mr. Lamb points out that a 4 -bedroom house could have teenagers that could use as much water and sewer as bed and breakfast guests. More than one infant or child might sleep in a single bedroom depending upon the size of the family and age of the children residing in a 4 -bedroom home. In any event, the evidence did not establish that the water and sewer usage of this residence with 3 of the bedrooms being used for guest rooms rather than for family members would be "significantly more" than the average water and sewer usage for the residences in this particular neighborhood. (x) Subsection 15.04.090(C)(10) of the UAZO: This provision allows a home occupation bed and breakfast in the R-1 zoning district only if "A business license is purchased where required." Likewise, there is no evidence in the record suggesting that the applicant cannot or will not comply with this requirement. (xi) Subsection 15.04.090(C)(11) of the UAZO: This provision allows a home occupation bed and breakfast in the R-1 zoning district only if "The home. occupation is conducted only by immediate family members residing m the dwelling." This is the main feature that distinguishes a home occupation bed and breakfast that is allowed in the R-1 zoning district in Table 4-2 of the UAZO from a commercial bed and breakfast inn which is not by definition limited as to the number of guest rooms and is not permitted in the R-1 zoning district under Table 4-1 of the UAZO. The proposed home occupation bed and breakfast here will only be conducted by immediate family members residing in the dwelling.

There is no evidence in the record suggesting that the applicant cannot or will not comply with this requirement. (xiii) Subsection 15.03.030(2) of the UAZO: This zoning provision states that the intent of the R-1 zoning district is to establish . and preserve residential neighborhoods for detached single-family dwellings free from other uses except. those which are compatible with, and serve the residents of, this district. As previously discussed, the applicant's detached single-family dwelling would continue to be a detached single-family dwelling even though used in part to provide residential functions of lodging and meals for home occupation bed and breakfast guests. The compatibility concerns arise here because there are many beautiful and elegant homes in the Barge -Chestnut neighborhood and there clearly is a strong desire on the part of their owners to see that they retain their beauty and value. Some of those opposed to the proposal have argued that it will be a commercial rather than a residential use. Some have expresseda concern that the proposal will trigger a flow of creeping commercialism into the neighborhood, primarily because of the commercial appearance of the proposed parking area in front of the house: Because of these concerns, the Examiner allowed additional time for written comments regarding several issues,- including the parking area concern. In response to this specific concern, the Memorandum of Mr. Lamb includes a new site plan dated July 28, 2008 that relocates the guest parking area to the north of the Rosedell Manor between the existing parking area for the residents and the carriage house and indicates that guests will utilize the existing driveway. This revision of the parking area site plan by the Radkes has made the Examiner's decision easier, and it will be adopted and required as one of the conditions of this decision to promote compatibility with the neighborhood. (xiv) Conclusion: The City Council indicated in Subsection 15.04.090(A) of the UAZO that that Section, notably the 12 conditions in Subsection (C) thereof, is intended to insure the compatibility of a home occupation with other uses permitted in the residential districts, to maintain and preserve the character of residential neighborhoods and to promote the efficient uses of public services and facilities by assuring that they are available to the residential population. Since those conditions required of all home occupations can and will be required of this proposal and since the parking area for guests of this home occupation bed and breakfast will be accessed Holli Radice Home Occupation Bed and Breakfast 1811 West Yakima Avenue UAZO C1(2) #22-08; HE #3-08 25 DOC.

(2) Compliance with the Provisions and Standards Established in the Zoning Ordinance. Applicable zoning ordinance provisions and development standards include: (i) Development Services Team. The following standards were noted as a result of the Development Services Team meeting held for this proposal on May 28, 2008: (a) Code Administration: The State exempts residences from being required to remodel for accessibility, but it is recommended that the applicant install battery-operated smoke detectors in each bedroom and in the hallway leading to the sleeping area. (b) Engineering: This proposal is not subject to Title 12, Development Standards. (c) Traffic Engineering: Engineering has no traffic -related comments on the proposed home occupation. (ii) Other Development Standards. The proposal will be required to comply with the following development standards in the UAZO: (a) Home Occupation Conditions: The proposal will be required to comply with the home occupation conditions prescribed in Subsection 15.04.090(C) of the UAZO described in detail above. (b) Nameplate: If a nameplate will be used, it will be required to comply with the content, location and size conditions prescribed in Subsection 15.04.090(D) of the UAZO. (c) Off -Street Parking: Off-street parking will be required to be located north of the residence as shown in the site plan submitted by the applicant dated July 28, 2008 and shall comply with the requirements of Chapter 15.06 of the UAZO.

(3) Compliance and Compatibility with the Objectives and Development Criteria of the Comprehensive Plan. The Future Land Use Map (map III -3) of the 1997 Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as suitable for low-density residential development. The Comprehensive Plan objectives and development criteria for this designation generally encourage the preservation of existing residential neighborhoods by protecting them from the adverse impacts of incompatible uses. For example, Comprehensive Plan Objective G2 is to balance individual property rights with the planning and regulatory scheme established for managing growth. Policy G2.2 which is related to that objective states that existing neighborhoods should be protected from excessive commercial encroachments through the establishment of defmite neighborhood boundaries and implementation of zoning standards which minimize the impact on adjacent properties. Compliance and compatibility with the Comprehensive Plan objectives here will be appropriately and adequately addressed through the home occupation conditions, by locating the parking area for the guests in a location between Rosedell Manor and the carriage house, and by using the existing driveway as shown on the applicant's revised parking area site plan dated July 28, 2008. XII. Consistency of the Proposed Use with Development Regulations and the Comprehensive Plan under the Criteria Required by Subsection 16.06.020(B) of the Yakima Municipal Code is determined by consideration of the following factors: (1) The types of land uses permitted at the site include the proposed home Holli Radke Home Occupation Bed and Breakfast 1811 West Yakima Avenue UAZO C1(2) #22-08; HE #3-08 27 DOC.

(2) The level of development such as units per acre, density of residential development or other measures of density of the proposed home occupation bed and breakfast is consistent with the density limitation in the R-1 zoning district since the home occupation will be conducted within an existing single-family dwelling. (3) The availability and adequacy of infrastructure and public facilities exist for the proposed home occupation because adequate infrastructure and public facilities are available for the single-family dwelling where the home occupation will be conducted. (4) The character of the development will be consistent with the development standards of the R-1 zoning district as discussed in detail above. CONCLUSIONS Based upon the foregoing Findings, the Examiner reaches the following Conclusions: (1) The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction to approve Class (2) use applications under the circumstances prescribed by the zoning ordinance. (2) Public notice requirements have been completed as required. (3) The proposal is exempt from review under the State Environmental Policy Act and under the Transportation Capacity Management Ordinance. (4) All of the requirements listed in the zoning ordinance for approving the requested Class (2) use have been satisfied by a preponderance of the evidence presented at the public hearing regarding said Class (2) use. (5) This decision may be appealed to the Yakima City Council within the timeframe and in the manner prescribed by applicable City ordinance provisions.

From the review of the site, the matters contained in the application, and a review of both the 2006 Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan and the Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance, staff makes the following: FINDINGS Applicant/Property Owner: Holli Radke Site Location: 1811 W Yakima Avenue, Yakima, WA Parcel Number: 181323-41410 Summary of Recommendation: Staff recommends this Class 2 use be approved subject to conditions. BACKGROUND: On May 12, 2008, the City of Yakima, Department of Community & Economic Development received a Class (2) land use application from Holli Radke requesting approval to operate a bed and breakfast at 1811 Yakima Avenue. This residence, also known as Rosedell Manor, was built sometime around 1906 by A.E. Larson, a prominent local business man. The residence is located on a gentle hill overlooking the city and surrounding area. This property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as of July 12, 1990. There are no specific restrictions imposed' on use or modifications to properties on the National Register. SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL: The applicant requests approval to rent out three of the four bedrooms in the residence. Each bedroom has its own private bath. According to the applicants narrative only overnight guests will be served breakfast. Check in time will be 2:00 p.m. and check out time will be 11:00 a.m. Four parking stalls are proposed at the southwest corner of the Radke CL(2) #22-08 & HE #3-08 1811 Yakima Avenue DOC. INDEX subject property. An existing parking area is located to the rear of the residence. No other physical modifications or changes are proposed with this bed and breakfast use. The Home Occupation is allowed one nameplate to display the name of the occupant and/or the name of the home occupation that will be attached to the dwelling not exceeding two (2) square feet in area or be illuminated. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The 1997 Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Map designates this area as being suitable for low-density residential development. The Comprehensive Plan encourages the preservation of existing residential neighborhoods by protecting them from the adverse impacts of non -compatible uses. The proposed home occupation is a low intensity type of use and should not conflict with the residential character of the neighborhood nor negatively impact the area with increased traffic, noise, light or other factors. This proposal is consistent with the housing and neighborhood preservation goals of the plan. URBAN AREA ZONING ORDINANCE (UAZO) Bed and Breakfast operations are listed as a Class (2) home occupation in the R-1 zoning district according to Table 4-2 of the Urban Area Zoning Ordinance, "Permitted Home Occupations". Home Occupations are governed by Chapter 15.04.090. The purpose of providing for certain home occupations in residential zones is to promote compatibility of the home occupation with other permitted uses in the area; maintain and preserve the character of the residential neighborhoods; and promote efficient use and adequacy of public services to residential neighborhoods. The UAZO identifies 12 conditions necessary for a home occupation to be approved. These conditions are listed in Chapter 15.04.090 (C). The proposed home occupation must meet all of the applicable 12 conditions listed in the UAZO: 1. The home occupation is conducted inside a structure within property on which is established the primary residence of the practitioner(s); The home occupation is incidental and subordinate to the residential functions of the property. No action related to the home occupation shall be permitted that impairs reasonable residential use of the dwelling; 2. 3. There are no external alterations to the building which changes its character from a dwelling. a: That portion of the structure or facilities in which a home occupation is to be sited must be so designed that it may be readily converted to serve residential use of the dwelling; 4. The business is conducted in a manner that will not alter the normal residential character of the premises by the use of color, materials, lighting and signs, or the emission of noise, vibration, dust, glare, heat, smoke; or odors; 5. The home occupation does not generate materially greater traffic volumes than would normally be expected in a residential neighborhood; Radke CL(2) #22-08 & HE #3-08 2 DOC. INDEX 1811 Yakima Avenue 6. There is no outside storage or display of any kind related to the home occupation; 7. The home occupation does not require the use of electrical or mechanical equipment that would change the fire rating of the structure; 8. The home occupation does not require the use of electrical equipment that exceeds FCC standards for residential use; 9. The home occupation does not increase water or sewer use so that the combined total use for the dwelling and home occupation is significantly more than the average for residences in the neighborhood; 10. A business license is purchased where required; 11. The home occupation is conducted only by immediate family members residing in the dwelling; 12. All stock in trade kept for sale on the premises is produced on-site by hand without the use of automated or production line equipment. The proposal meets the 12 necessary conditions for permitting a home occupation. ZONING AND LAND USE The subject property is currently zoned R-1, Single-family residential. The R-1 zoning district is intended primarily as single family, detached residences.

INDEX Klein, Alice From: Meloy, Randy Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2008 7:37 AM To: Klein, Alice Subject: UAZO CL(2)#22-08 Holli Radke Alice The applicant is proposing new construction of 1583 square feet, which is well below the threshold of 5000 square feet or more of pollutant generating impervious surfaces to trigger drainage requirements. As long as the runoff infiltrates into the nearby grassy areas there will be no special requirements for the drainage. If the applicant decides to install some form of underground infiltration facility, such as a drywell, then they will have to meet the new Underground Injection Control rules. UIC Registration - Stormwater In accordance with Chapter 2 Section 2.4 of the December 2006 edition of the Department of Ecology's Guidance for UIC Wells that Manage Stormwater Publication Number05-10-067, Underground Injection Control (UIC) wells constructed on or after February 3, 2.006 are considered new and must be registered with the Department of Ecology (DOE) prior to construction. Therefore, if UIC wells are used in the drainage design, the UIC wells must be registered with DOE and a copy of the DOE UIC Well registration form and the DOE issued UIC well registration number for each well shall be delivered to the City of Yakima's Surface Water Engineer before final plat approval shall be granted.

Yakima Ave. My husband and I are in favor of allowing the bed and breakfast to operate. If the owners of that property can't afford to maintain that lovely historic home, it has the potential to, once again, become an eyesore and fall into disrepair. Eventually it may have tobe torn down and the property developed as new housing with several lots subdivided. Isn't it preferable to have the home maintained and enjoyed by the neighborhood as well as visitors to our community? It is our opinion that it is. Sincerely, Curtiss and Julie Gilbert 1909 W.

Second Street Yakima, WA 98901 Re: Appeal of Hearing Examiner's decision approving application To operate a bed and breakfast at 1811 West Yakima Avenue ')Our' (ATV OEVELC MEN1 To: Yakima City Council We live directly across the street from the Radke house, also known as. Rosedell Manor, which is the subject of the appeal.- We welcome the idea of establishing a B&B at Rosedell. We witnessed the deterioration of the house during the 15 years prior to its purchase by the Radkes and have been impressed by the quality of their efforts to restore the house. Before their purchase, the house had deteriorated to the point where it was almost beyond recovery. Losing this house would have represented a tremendous loss to Yakima's heritage. We disagree with the appellants' contention that operating the house as a Bed and Breakfast would unfavorably change the nature of this neighborhood. We have stayed in B&Bs in similar older neighborhoods of Walla Walla, Washington and Ashland, Oregon and have observed that they actually enhance their neighborhoods because they are so well maintained. Further, we have seen that operating a B&B provides an incentive to maintain a large older home, to the betterment of its neighborhood, and it also provides a means to maintain it and preserve it for the future. Yakima is in the process of rebuilding its downtown area. Much of this is predicated on attracting tourists to come and enjoy our wonderful food, drink and hospitality. Having a B&B so convenient to the downtown area will support this renaissance. v V�� Sally F. itch DOC. INDEX RECEIVED SEP 2 5 2008 To: Yakima City Council CITY OF YAKIMA From: Walt Ranta PLANNING OR Re: Appeal of Hearing Examiner's decision to allow Bed and Breakfast designation of the Rosedell home This letter is to request that you reject the appeal of the Hearing Examiner's decision to allow the Radke family to establish a Bed and Breakfast at 1811 W. Yakima Avenue, the location known as Rosedell. l support the Examiner's decision and feel the development of a Bedand Breakfast should go forward. - As was stated at the hearing, this would a benefit to the neighborhood and would allow the Radke family to continue their restoration and upkeep of this elegant home. In response to the objections brought up at the Hearing: 1. Those in opposition to the B & B are concerned with the encroachment of businesses into the neighborhood. As was stated, there are already many m -home businesses near this home. (I believe the number listed was 23 in-home businesses on Yakima and chestnuts Avenues alone, including a yoga instructor who lives across the street.) There is a history of bed and breakfasts in the area going back several decades, the most recent include one on 28th Avenue between Chestnut and Walnut Avenues and one at 3211d Avenue and Tieton Drive. - 2. The opposition also feels the B &B would bring more traffic to the neighborhood. As was stated, on a regular basis the amount of traffic would not be more, and probably even less, than any family home with several drivers, parents and teenagers. The yoga instructor can have up to 5 clients per session, which would bring more cars to neighborhood in one day than the B & B might bring in a week. 3. The opposition feels the B & B would cause a change to the structure, citing the addition of parking. The parking would not change the structure itself. 4. The opposition states the parking site would look like a "parking lot". In reality, it would look like parking at many of the homes of those in opposition. In fact, there are several homes of the Concerned Residents. Of West Yakima Avenue that are larger than the one described in the B& B plan. 5. The opposition states too large a percentage of the home would be used at meet the requirements of the in-home business classification under the R-1 zoning. It is my understanding that at no time has the city stated a certain "percentage" is a deciding factor. Even if it did, only a small percentage this 10,000 square foot home would be used, even if all the bedrooms in the plan were occupied. The Examiner answered all of these concems when he rendered his decision. There are other reasons your should reject this appeal. 1. One of the opponents to the B & B, Doug Picatti, stated he is the incoming chair of the Yakima Visitors & Convention Bureau. Even HE admits the community needs good places to stay and "certainly supports bed and breakfasts in general". At that point there was a pause and I kept waiting for him to say, "But not in my back yard". The "NIMBY" mentality is interesting but should not delay this project. 2. The only grandchild of Rose and A.E. Larson, Daryl Parker, supports this planned use of his family's home. His comments, stated in a letter to the Examiner, are very strong and persuasive. Please review them. 3. There are many letters in support of B & B and many in opposition. The main difference is that the supportive letters were by individuals written in their own words expressing their own feelings. Most, if not all, of those in opposition were form letters, possibly sent by e-mail. Some of the words are rearranged, but basically the letters are identical. Also, the opposition numbers are misleading as several of the letters were by husband and wives, written separately, rather than representing a single residence. DOC. . . INDEX #-(O 4. Druella DeGrasse, also in opposition, stated someone had come through the neighborhoodrecently and commented that Yakima Avenue hadn't changed. Druella stated this as a reason to not allow the B & B. The fact that Rosedell, the gateway to the neighborhood, looked the same is because of the work put into its restoration for the purpose of having a B & B. I wonder if the lady would have felt that way if she had seen Rosedell before the Radkes had started their restoration. Please uphold the Hearing Examiner's decision that was based on careful review of all applicablecity codes, and reject this appeal that is based on a NIMBY mentality. The Radke family should be allowed to continue their restoration of this wonderful and important part of the Yakima Avenue neighborhood. Allowing the B & B would enable more people to enjoy the beauty of this classic home and would be a great benefit to the neighborhood.

The creation of an upscale Bed & Breakfast in a nice area of our town is not only a benefit to the guests who use it, but helps showcase our great community and will spread a positive image of Yakima to the rest of the world when these guests return to their own homes and communities and speak of their great accommodations in Yakima, Washington. How anyone could be against a Bed & Breakfast in a residential neighborhood is beyond me. It certainly isn't going to create overcrowding of our streets or raucous behavior by the people whospend good money to enjoy a fine home, good food and elegant surroundings. What could the opponents to Rosedell Manor be concerned about? Please, Yakima City Council, stand behind the decision of the hearing examiner and the rights of the owners of Rosedell Manor.

Over a decade ago I went thru a long and tortuous process with. the City of Yakima before I was allowed to convert my 1903 Victorian house on West Yakima Avenue into a home/office combination. We continue to lose many of our beautiful older homes and buildings across the city for a variety of reasons, including those lost just across the street from my office. If we do not allow for reasonable and practical approachesto dealing with changing times, we will lose more elegant houses. My Chiropractic office, museum's Gilbert House and the Memorial Foundation house are just a few examples in this expanded neighborhood of structures no loner viable as family homes and successfully converted. The large mansion on the corner of 16 & Yakima Avenue was also the Boy Scouts of America office for many years prior to being reconverted into a large residence. Business has never been a total stranger to this beautiful and large area of our city!! A bed & breakfast is, designed to be low key and encourage a relaxing experience to the traveler, while providing them with a quality elegant setting for their visit. We will now find this at arms length to the rebirth of Yakima and all the downtown happenings; from the Seasons and Capital Theatre's, Farmer's market and Front Street establishments to winery tastings and restaurants. We as a community cannot afford to continue putting up with a NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) attitude to such a great proposal and opportunity to maintain a truly remarkable piece of Yakima history. There are many other examples beside myself, of owners that have taken great pride and expense in restoring or maintaining these beautiful examples of living history thru a business.

( l CITY OF YAKIMA fel, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Dear Marlene and Gary Sybouts, longtime friends from vintage car club activities: 1 Thousands of words have been printed about A.E. and Rose Parker Larson. The name A copy of the decision that favors the Radkes arrived here and it is the most interesting document I have read :thepast: dozen years. I have been researching the history of A:E. Larson and Rose (Hawkins, Parker) Larson, who married in 1897. They were a remarkable couple and their story is being told by an unremarkable woman, me: I "Larson" is so well known from the -beautiful A.E. Larson Building, to;the :A E. Larson Museum and Art Gallery on the YVCC campus; to Larson Park; and to. Parker Field at the college. Add to thatthe newest four story educational building for ourr students that I came about through Daryl Parker signing a release so some of the Larson Park could utilized for this building. 'It was named for the former senator but the outdoor Parker Plaza and the well -used Parker room inside, honor the Parker family. IIn addition, Daryl Parker, a third generation of the LarsonandParker families used honey instead of vinegar to assuage the anger about losing some of Larson Park by founding the I Parker Youth and Sports Foundation which is going "great guns." I am enclosing the flyer which describes the history of this newest organization. Some of those who knew how much research I had done on the family even voted me an honorary member. Larry Mattson, former city council member, is working diligently to get the former spray field south of the City of Yakima Wastewater plant, leased on which to build about a dozen soccer fields. The Rotary, Lions, and Kiwanis clubs are putting the finishing touches on the baseball fields. At Kiwanis Park a new very fine skatepark is under construction. Swimmers are looking forward to an aquatic swimming center in either Kiwanis Park or perhaps at the commercial area of the former Boise Cascade mill site. All of these projects look to me to be important to help us with the crime problem in Yakima. Our youth needs open spaces and we must help where we can. I would appreciate it if you would make a -copy of this writing to give to those in your area who wanted to eliminate an idea :of:a "bread .and breakfasr as: a home business at Rosedell. Daryl Parker, grandson of Rose Parker Larson, and:I have become great friends. After the ,four .year college building property issue was -settled, I had sent him documentation about the Parker and Larson family and he. said that I knew more about his family then he did. It is true and .I am delighted to provide research to help all of us respect and love the Parkers and Larsons for all that they -have done for ourarea since their marriage in 1897. �I Think of that! Over one hundred, years! Daryl and Sherrie,: hiswife; have both written me -this past week about the success of the public hearing and are looking, forward -to staying at the. Rosedell home, 1811 W. Yakima Avenue. Jerry Ward, .retired-YVCC athletic director, read Daryl's letterto the hearing .; examiner. Daryl lives in.Snohomish county and has a contracting business in southern D DOC. INDEX 1 = F--401 California. Sherrie wonders if Daryl can find which of the bedrooms in the mansion would have been the one in which he slept in 1947, when he was about ten years old. He also remembers fishing with his Uncle Hunky Shaw in the Yakima River. Daryl has many new friends in Yakima who admire him. He and Sherrie are very modest folks but if you were involved in the Legends weekend to play golf, that was the yearly big fund raiser for the Parker Youth and Sports Foundation. This new foundation and the Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions group are both working for the same goal. Parks and recreation for our youth. As a former police clerk with the Yakima Police department from 1951-1957 and secretary for the Yakima County Juvenile Department from 1957-1965, I am well aware of the need to keep our children and youth supplied with things to do so they retain their health and become good citizens to carry on with the work we are doing. Last, I wish to comment on three respected hearing examiners involved in settling the matter of a "bed and breakfast" at Rosedell. The printed decision revealed that Phil Lamb represented the.Radkes; Jamie Carmody represented the folks in the area surrounding Rosedell; and Gary M. Cullier was the hearing examiner. That is historical as all of us know of past efforts of these gentlemen. You all were winners! If there is animosity among the readers of this missive, please let it go and join me and Daryl Parker in "using honey instead of vinegar," as we renew our area with new structures, homes, parks, and people. People are flocking here to retire and enjoy the sunshine and the amenities we provide.

He was a quarterback at the University of Washington and a record-setting half-miler and captain of the UW track team. He became a trial lawyer, a successful businessman, author and lecturer, but his love of sports remained a priority in his life. He was an organizer of the Western International League and established Yakima's first professional baseball team, the Pippins, a name chosen to promote the high quality of Yakima apples. ,4. : sr Shirley D. Parker hada vision and a commitment to the community's need for athletic and educational opportunities that endure to this day. As founder of Yakima's first professional baseball team in 1937, he built Parker Field on the same 10 -acre plot on which the ballpark stands today. At the same time he donated to the community college an adjacent 10 acres where the Yakima Valley Community College main campus and the Larson Art Gallery are located. His mother, Rose B. Larson, donated an adjacent 20 acres to the City of Yakima to be used as a park named in honor of her late husband, A.E-Larson, owner and builder of Yakima's Larson Building. Mrs. Larson and Mr. Parker also gave a trust fund of approximately $100,000 to the Junior College for the purpose of helping to build the campus. Parker Field and Larson Park became the center for community baseball and softball programs and other recreational activities. Larson Park was also the site of four softball fields, including Dunbar and Noel Fields, and 12 tennis courts, home of the Larson Park Tennis Club for many decades. All of the ball fields and the tennis courts were lighted for night play, making this The primary and most -utilized outdoor recreational facility in the community. The fields were used.to full capacity for fastpitch, slowpitch, and flag football recreational leagues, and the Junior College utilized the fields for physical education classes, intramurals, and varsity football practice. Until 1967, Parker Field was the home of the college and professional baseball teams and is still the home for YVCC baseball and the Yakima Beetles American Legion team. The Parker -Larson vision and desire for an educational, cultural and recreational center for the city were realized. Today, the 40 -acre tract of land comprises the YVCC main campus, the Larson Gallery, Larson Park, Dunbar Field, Noel Field, and Parker Field. 11111 MIN IN NMI 11111 11111 NMI Shirley Parker's son, Daryl Parker, joined with othon who share his father's commitment to form the Parker Youth & Sports Foundation.

RE: ROSBDELL Dear Mr. Cuillier: I do not represent any patty hereto. 1 do not own property in this neighborhood. l don't live there. My input is based at least in part on the following: 1. Hived at 1703 Surnmitview. tom 1955-1960. I attended Roosevelt Grade School. 1 don't mean the one that was demolished about 15 years ago. 1 mean the original building. Mr. Richey was the principal, and my fourth grade teacher was Margaret Dawson. Summitview was a two-lane road at that time. There was a junk dealer who did his business out of a horse-drawn cart who occasionally traversed our neighborhood_ Fiddlesticks is now operated on the site of Melville's Dime Store. The NE corner of 16th Avenue (also a two-lane road) and Summitview was occupied by a gas station. 17th Avenue ran south from Summitview in those days, and my good friend Jimmy Cook lived on that block We swam at Franklin Pool in the summer. My mother gave me a dime for pool admission, and when she gave me two dimes, 1 was free to just blow the other one. Without lawful permission, Jimmy and I crossed through Rosedell on our way to and from swimming. The property now occupied by Deep Sea Deli and Rite Aid was the site of a sawmilL One of the workers there occasionally gave us scrap lumber, with which we built forts and other fine structures. I learned my way around the neighborhood. 2. From 1963 through the early 70's 1 visited Rosedell often as the guest of Norm Elder. His grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Derby, were the owners/occupants. We ate good meals there. Norm remodeled the carriage house and lived there for a time. I attended some of the parties. Mr. and Mrs. Derby were particularly good to us. Norm's parents, Big Norm and Carolyn Elder, made sure that I received a warm welcome. It's just their way. • Christmas was quite a production there. DOC.

From 1966 through 1980 I spent lots of time at 318 Stanley Blvd., visiting my girlfriend, whom I later married. The Robinsons lived just east of Laban on Stanley Blvd. Perry Robinson practiced law in Yakima for about 30 years. If you had seen Mary Robinson in a swim suit beside their pool, you would, in one heartbeat, understand my presence there. if you want to see a production at Christmas, then you should have seen Gussie (Nona) Robinson preparing meals and gifts for her grandchildren. Even Ferry smiled. Dick Smith was another Yakima attorney whose family lived just around the comer. I felt like T was part of the neighborhood. My son Max is 10. He plays Grid Kid football for the Redskins. We practice five. nights each week at Franklin Park. This is Max's third season. I go to all the practices and games. I' m in Franklin Park five nights most weeks at this time of year. Some folks think it's odd, but 1 pick up trash as I climb the terraces for exercise. I know people who live on Yakima Avenue, Park Avenue, Barge, Stanley Blvd. and Chestnut. I'll list them if you wish. I have lived almost all my life in Yakima. It's home. I think. I understand it. While the concept of belonging in a neighborhood is fading, I think it's alive and well in THIS neighborhood. It is and always has been a single-family neighborhood. We don't have any other like it. We're not building any new ones like this one. You are now asked to begin demolition work on a unique neighborhood. If you re -zone this property, there will be ten others like it within ten blocks in five years. Our loss will be more than just the few neon signs that will crop up. There are many reasons to deny this request. One of them was illustrated by Mr. Richey, the principal at Roosevelt. It was a warm spring day in the spring of 1959. I was 10. My fourth grade teacher was Miss Dawson. She began the day with some apprehension in her voice as she announced that Mr. Richey would now visit our class. Corporal punishment was an the menu at Roosevelt, but was seldom imposed On the rare occasion that it was handed down, Mr. Richey spoke not only to the offender, but to his/her entire class. This was my first and only such speech. Billy was my classmate, and after being warned by Mr. Richey on at least two prior occasions, Billy continued to bully other students. One day earlier he had taken part of another student's lunch. A litany of i3illy's sins was resited in considerable detail_ Ping pong paddle in hand, Mr. Richey explained that this was not his choice. He had warned Billy, to no avail. We all knew that such conduct was not allowed. We knew this from day one. No secrets here. it had always been this way. Apparently, unbeknownst to me and my buddies, Mr. Richey had promised Billy a paddling if he failed to change his behavior. DOC.

To do otherwise would be to break a promise, and that he could not do and would not do. Billy, and all of us, was entitled to believe what he said. Billy was taken into the halfway and a paddling was administered. We could not see, but we did hear Billy's wailing. From time to time Mr. Richey stopped using his paddle and asked sobering questions, such as "Do you believe me now?" Billy answered, as best he could, blubbering all the while, that his was the most detailed and complete understanding and belief imaginable. Billy came back to •class and remained standing for the rest of the day, To my knowledge, he did not cause trouble on the playground or in the lunchroom thereafter_ I don't know the current owners ofRosedell. They have not consulted with me. That said, I'm not asking to punish them. Instead, I think all the property owners in this neighborhood, including but not limited to these petitioners, should simply be entitled to rely upon what we said. We said this was single-family. it has,always been deep in the heart of single-ikmily. No secrets here. They knew that when they bought it. Their neighbors knew the same and relied upon it, If this is too corny, I'm sorry. T respectfully request that this petition be denied. T remain available if you have questions.

CITY UN YAKIMA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT RE: UAZO CL(2) #22-08 I am Susan Jonsson, daughter of Dr. Richard R and Eleanore Sackmann, residents of 1817 West Yakima Ave, next door to Rosedell. I attended the public hearing on their behalf, regarding the proposal to establish a Bed and Breakfast in the neighborhood at 1811 West Yakima Ave. I am writing this letter (at their request ) to restate my parent's firm opposition the Radke's proposal to commercialize their property. This matter was first discussed at the meeting from the point of view of those interested in the preservation of a "local treasure." Some stated the difficulty/impossibility of finding a single family owner for it. Great appreciation was given to the Radkes for the hard work done thus far. The problem with these comments is that they miss the fundamental issue of Land Use. Mr. Carmondy clarified the situation by stating that this is not about people or about historic preservation: but solely a Land Use issue. The Radke's proposed Bed and Breakfast does not fit the guidelines for a home occupancy business. The guidelines, if I understand them correctly, state that a home occupancy'business must be incidental to the home being a residence. Clearly with three of four bedrooms, three baths, a kitchen, dining room, and the entry all being put to Commercial use, this is not in accordance with the guidelines. The parking lot, mentioned by many in opposition to the Bed arid Breakfast, is particularly distressing to my parents because Of its close proximity to their property. It will be only about thirty feet from their property line" ;'he commercial look of this is unsightly and is not in keeping with the residential or historical look for that matter of this beautifully kept and maintained neighborhood. It seems apparent to me that the Radkes are exploiting the beauty and grace of one of Yakima's finest examples of single family residences rather than adding to it. The residents of this neighborhood have time and again rejected the "creeping commercialism" tactics of those individuals who have tried inappropriate business ventures in the past. There is great concern about what will happen after the Radkes transform a residence into a building made for business. What happens then to other large homes in the neighborhood as they enter the market? A Bed and Breakfast in this neighborhood will have a negative impact if this "Commercial" use is granted. It is clearly in the best interest of this unique community to uphold the R-1 Zoning Restrictions. Respectfully, -6(aVe,,a407 P DOC.

I wish Pp pP Y to restate my position that a Bed and Breakfast is incompatible with R1 Zoning, and a home occupation usage, and an exception should not be allowed to include a Bed and 1 Breakfast at 1811 W. Yakima Avenue. - - Using the data given to us by the Yakima County Assessor website, the 2nd story of the home is listed at 2694 sq feet. Assuming that all common areas of this floor will be shared by the guests, with 3 of the 4 available rooms being rented out, 75% of this 2nd story would be used for the Bed and Breakfast. This consists of 2020 square feet of the 2nd story of the home being used in this "home occupation" application. The first story is also listed at 2432 square feet. Using a more conservative number of 60% usage of common areas, kitchen, living room, entry way, dining room, this would mean that 1459 square feet would be also allocated to this "home occupation". The lower basement level is listed as having 678 sq ft finished and usable out of 2216 available, and is not considered to be used for the Bed and Breakfast. This means that of the usable space in the home, according to Yakima County records, of 5804 available finished square footage in the home, 2020 on the 2nd story and 1459 of the main floor of the home would be used for the purposes of a Bed and Breakfast, for a grand total of 3479 square feet. This would be 59% of the total usable space defined by Yakima County records that would be used for the business. This hardly is consistent with the incidental usage of a home occupation business. When almost 60% of the space will be committed to commercial use, this is hardly a home occupation. This is more than an "incidental" usage of space. As the Radke's have indicated they may rent out as many as 5 rooms, this cannot possibly meet the requirements of a home occupation. This seems to fall under the category of a commercial business. 1 Paul and Holli Radke stated they are in the business of real estate development and have a number of properties. Holli has stated in the past that this is what they do for a living. They moved to Yakima after purchasing, renovating and reselling properties in Las Vegas. The Radke's told several neighbors that they got a great deal on the home and that they intend to fix it up, sell it and make a lot of money in a few years. t DOC. INDEX F5r0 34 N. 3rd Street • P.O.

Perhaps the best way to financial objectives is to build and sell the property as a commercial venture —1. value of the business opportunity, not for the value of the property as a home. As Paul himself stated, he does not believe they will make very much money on the operation of the bed and breakfast. Ms. Radke also said to several of the neighbors at a meeting she held at her home to discuss the Bed and Breakfast application, that she had no experience in running a Bed and Breakfast, didn't know if she would even like doing it in a year and did not like to cook or clean. She also stated she didn't know how it would work because she and her husband Paul like to spend the winters in Las Vegas. This does not appear to be the actions of individuals who have a passion for the Bed and Breakfast industry and an intent to restore a historical home for preservation. Rather, it sounds like a property development company buying a distressed property, converting it to its most economicuseand selling it as a commercial business. I truly feel that if you allow an exception to the R1 "home occupation" that the neighborhood will change forever. As we learned from the last hearing on this property, land use issues are made on precedence. If you approve this request when it clearly fails to meet the requirements, you will create the precedence that allows this neighborhood to degrade to commercial use after decades of improvement by caring homeowners. The Yakima Avenue neighborhood is filled with homeowners who have taken on large older homes that needed major repairs, mine included. The value of these repairs and upgrades reaches into the millions of dollars. This is a neighborhood filled with extreme pride, and unlike any other in our city . Do not let commercial greed ruin this.;family neighborhood. Thank you for your consideration; \ Darlene Picatti 2004 W Yakima Avenue Yakima, WA 98902 DOC.

Commercial alterations / parking. 2. Subordinate use. I will use YMC 15.04.090(A), Notes to Table 4.2 to address the issues above. 1. C, 3 There are no external alterations to the building which changes the character of the dwelling. In a residential neighborhood, there are codes and ordinances effecting both the structures and property that govern their use. For homeowners, it is common to recognize the dwelling as a collection of the building(s) and property: Home owners make decisions every day based on the appearance of the dwelling as it refers to these two assets. Removing a large portion of the front yard, landscaping, and/or fence to add a 3 car parking lot, driveway and large turn around lane, changes the character of the dwelling. This home has been widely photographed, drawn and painted over the many years of its existence in our community. One only has to search this historic property on the internet to get a glimpse of the vast history and interest this community has for this home and property. Modifying the property to add a commercial style parking lot, substantially alters the character of the dwelling (see my rendering based on my interpretation of the project. This simple rendering is an overview only and does not attempt to match the project scale, scope and design). The required parking for a home business is difficult to add on this property in a manner not to change the character of the dwelling. This application does not meet this condition. C, 9 The home occupation does not increase water or sewer use so that the combined total use for the dwelling and home occupation is signifiancly more than the average for residences in the neighborhood. According to the 2000 US Census Bureau online, the average us household size is 2.59 people. According to a Yakima facts website, the average household size in Yakima city was 2.63 in 2000. Comparing the Yakima household average of 2.63 to a conservative 50% occupancy of a 3 bedroom bed and breakfast (double occupancy) results in 6 people X 50% + the owners = 5 people. This is approximately a 100% increase in occupancy over the census data. Add the additional 2 rooms the owners say they may open and this number is substantially larger. Add yet for double occupancy, and this number swells to a potential of 12/2.63 or over 400% the average. Assuming that occupancy translates to utility usage, this demonstrates a significant increase in water and/or sewer over the average for the residences in the neighborhood and would clearly violate this condition. 2. C, 2. The home occupation is incidental and subordinate to the residential functions of the property.... One might reasonably expect the entrance, living room, family room, dining room, kitchen, bathrooms, hallways and 3 -bedrooms to be used for the business. Using the space calculations provided by the county assessor's website, I estimate that this space is over 50% of the total space. Using the initial application for 3 rooms, this property does not meet this condition. If the number of guest rooms increases to 5, as the Radke's stated may happen in the future, this use fails the condition by even greater numbers. DOC. INDEX # f57 1 Mr. Cullier, I recommend you to deny this request based on its failure to meet all 12 required conditions. This is a land use I issue. This is not an issue about a Bed and Breakfast or about a neighborhood conflict. Holli and Paul Radke are nice people and wonderful neighbors. Like many other people in this family neighborhood, they have done a masterful job upgrading and maintaining their home. The issue at hand is a land use issue and must meet all of the conditions stated. The request I does not meet all the 12 conditions stated, even with the most strict or liberal interpretation of each and should be denied. The neighbors in this family neighborhood purchased, maintained and improved their homes under the premise that this was, is and will be a family residential neighborhood. By altering the land use, you risk compromising the neighborhood's very core and perhaps its future. I believe you put this family neighborhood and community asset at risk. Not just for the families who call this neighborhood their home, but also for thousands of people who use it on a regular basis and consider it an integral part of their quality of life. 1 1 1 .. Thank you for the opportunity to present my opinions and my passion for this family neighborhood and community asset. I know that you understand the significance of this decision and the precedence it creates. Please help maintain this valuable community asset today and for generations to come.

I had the pleasure of meeting Hollie and Paul Radke several years ago when their search for a stone house of historic preservation quality sited on a generous amount of land within Yakima city limits brought them to my property at 301 Union. This young couple was parked in the driveway studying the house and grounds when I approached them in conversation. At the time, I was impressed with their sincere appreciation of my 1908 property (which survived a fire in 1975 prior to my family acquiring it), but more so by their openly expressing what has now been demonstrated to be their true intentions. Their interest in preservation, and zeal in pursuing the renovation of another more gracious stone residence known as Rosedell has been an act of persistence and courage. The results to date are of benefit beyond the boundaries of the neighborhood now known as 'Barge Chestnut', this property is an asset and resource to all of Yakima and the valley. I was able to watch the public hearing on YPAC two nights ago. I was caught unawares of the hearing itself, having not received the usual mailing from the City of Yakima Planning Dept. I am addressing this letter to you, Gary, in response to your closing statements, in particular your interest in the topic of the change in parking and the configuration of the driveway. Having reached the age of sixty in pretty good health, I have of late had extreme and acute pain associated with the destruction of my right knee back in 2003. The incident itself is insignificant in this arena, except to say that until I undergo surgery for a replacement, I will continue to be not only limited in my activities but challenged in everyday movement. Simply moving around my home has become problematic due to the necessity of climbing seven concrete stairs to enter or leave the residence, and seventeen to traverse up and down in order to do laundry. I have on several occasions driven to see the Radkes about one thing or another. All of my vehicles are long bodied, making the turn into their property as I come up Yakima Avenue from the East a real challenge due to the narrowness of that driveway. Were I to enter from Park Avenue, I can anticipate the balling up of other vehicles that might come onto the property from either direction once I was parked. What better situation they might come up with is not for me to suggest, as I am not there that frequently. My only purpose is to state that I can recognize there is a problem. Part of that problem is the topography of that lot. The prominent bench of land on which the home is sited was specifically chosen to display the grand architecture of that time at its best. However, when I try to back out onto Yakima Avenue, it is extremely difficult for me to get a good clearview of oncoming traffic from the West. I can see an advantage to improving the ingress and egress onto Yakima Avenue, but given the steepness of the descending topography to the east, not to mention the desecration of such a lovely yard, itagain I can make no suggestion. Having gotten out of my car on that narrow driveway, only once have I undertaken the ar it ling climb INDEX # F-- 5�' JUL 3 1 2008 up the east facing stairs to the door. Coming down was even more painful. I can see why jj Q fi KIrpq Radkes only open their home to friends and family for social occasions it would become a I§latt91V some point to accommodate someone as impaired or more so than myself. I would think the delivery of some items of furniture might also be made simpler in that regard. Finally I would like to say that the technicalities of the issue are not readily known to me, so I will not comment on the legal fine points. But common sense tells me that if a property is to be enjoyed it must be accessible and safe to those who would enter. As an advocate for historic preservation , I realize that much can be experienced simply by looking and imagining from the street or sidewalk, but there is also a desire on the part of many to experience the home from the interior . Property rights should begin with the ability to enjoy one's own property and have the right to dream of making it live again form others. 309 Union Yakima, WA 98901 ooc.

They have painstakingly restored it to its original grandeur and have done historically correct repairs. This is pure insanity and with no valid basis that the application is being picked apart by people who have nothing better to do. It is now a total asset to the BCNA neighborhood, whereas before it was a haven for criminal activity. Also a few facts: About the Inn Owners 79% of inn owners are between 35 and 64 years old 88°'o of owners live on premises 55% of owners are dependent on outside income (Historical Significance and Community Involvement According to PAII. not only have B&B/country inn owners renovated more historical buildings than any other industry segment, but their efforts also help to preserve the history. traditions. and culture of their towns. cities. and/or regions. Old pictures. books, furniture, memorabilia are returned to the historic homes in which they originated by way of innkeepers or the original families who owned the homes. allowing them to serve as repositories for the preservation of history in their locale. Buildings housing B&B/country inns average 99 years in age. though 2°/0 of all newly opened inns are pupose-built as commercial lodging_. PAII reports that "Innkeepers are extensively involved in their communities. unlike hotel managers N ho move from one location to another. The personal commitment to the quality oldie community h\ owner -innkeepers is very high and cannot be measured." Innkeeper Profile According to PAII. statistics continue to show that innkeepers chose to make long-term careers in this industry. Some 42% of the owners in the 2004 study have operated their participating inn for seven or more years. Bed & breakfast inn careers and investments also continue to attract new owners and innkeepers. Some 34% of inns have been operated by their current owner for one to three years. While they continue to operate their own inns. over half of the participants in the study also relied on outside sources of income. in addition to the proceeds of the inn. This overall ratio has held constant over the past three I'Afl studies. DOC.

Second Street, 2"d Floor Yakima, WA 98901 aklein@ci.yakima.wa.us Dear Ms. Klein, I ani writing this letter in support of Paul and Holli Radke's plan's to convert the Rosedell property into a bed and breakfast. 1 ani truly perplexed by the opposition to this use of the property. Opponents claim that Rosedell as a bed and breakfast is not a consistent use with the neighborhood and would encourage commercialism. They also believe that a bed and breakfast will cause the neighborhood to "change." Oddly enough, the incoming chairman of the Yakima Valley Visitors and Convention Bureau is spearheading this opposition. Though out the history of the neighborhood, the Barge -Chestnut district has had several bed and breakfasts within its boundaries, most notably the Irish House on S. 28`h Ave. During its existence, the Irish House operated quietly and in harmony with the neighborhood. It did not herald a rash of bed and breakfasts nor did it pave the way for commercial rezoning. Regarding the concern about "change" to the neighborhood, apparently the opposition didn't the mind the "change" of Rosedell from a grand, historic structure to one plagued by vandalism and disrepair.. • The mere raising of the opposition's concerns has me wonder if any of the individuals has ever been to a bed and breakfast, let alone been outside of Yakima. With the Barge -Chestnut neighborhood near to being designated a historic district, Rosedell, as a bed and breakfast is a perfect fit. An example of such a B&B/Historic District application is Waverly Place in Spokane, WA. Located in the historic Corbin Park district, Waverly Place has been in operation for twenty-two years. Its existence has inspired home restoration and maintenance in the neighborhood. The mere presence of Waverly Park has not resulted in commercial rezoning. The neighbors have been nothing but supportive of Waverly Park. I would expect an incoming chairman of the Yakima Valley Visitors and Convention Bureau to have an understanding of how bed and breakfasts function in historic districts. There are plenty of examples. As a bed and breakfast, Rosedell would rise again to being a jewel of the Barge -Chestnut Neighborhood. It can offer a wonderful service and generate revenue to continue maintenance of the property. The Radke's have done a remarkable job of restoring Rosedell. They are entirely within their rights to pursue converting the property t� a bed and breakfast. Not only are the Radke's permitted a bed and breakfast under R-1 zoning, but their application has already been recommended for approval by the City of Yakima Department of Community & Economic Development. The opposition seem to be grasping at straws in arguing against the proposal and are guilty of - misinformation and fear mongering. Whatever the true source of contention, 1 would ask the opposition to DOC. INDEX ffi f 54 JUL 3 1 2008 CITY OF YAKIM PLANNING DIV. reassess their position and honestly consider the benefits of Rosedell as a bed and breakfast. Taking into account the greater good of the Barge -Chestnut Neighborhood and the City of Yakima seems more productive than tying up the issue with potentially drawn out litigation.

We support the proposed bed and breakfast. This historic neighborhood and historic residence are ideally situated for bed and breakfasts. The site plan can address perceived neighborhood concerns about parking and exterior lighting. The property has ample space for parking along the existing driveway or between the primary residence and the carriage house. Alternatives to the B & B include subdivision and redevelopment of the property. Additional lots, structures, and parking would have more severe impacts than the proposal. The immediate neighborhood is already negatively impacted from the nearby churches' relatively high traffic volumes, noise, glare, and out -of -character architecture. The neighborhood as a whole is more threatened by commercial development at the will of Memorial Hospital. Memorial's encroachment into the Barge Chestnut neighborhood is much more destructive — homes are purchased and razed or moved to make space for very large-scale commercial development. This issue has also been divisive in the neighborhood and the City as a whole. The B & B by comparison is but a molehill. A B & B in an existing residential home is much more compatible with the neighborhood than a multi -story parking garage, a potential mountainous eyesore, and designed to ensure ever increasing volumes of traffic through the neighborhood. It seems reasonable that denying this B & B means denying any further expansion of Memorial Hospital. The City of Walla Walla and the City of Bend both have very good zoning provisions for B & Bs and demonstrated success at incorporating B & Bs into their cities and neighborhoods. One condition you might include for this proposal is monitoring, Chapter 10-10, Section 3.6.200 K (keeping a guest log). We also encourage the YUAZO treat B & Bs similarly to Walla Walla (an accessory use to a permitted residential use, recognized. as one means of preserving historic, architectural resources in the community) or Bend (permitted uses in all Residential Districts within a structure used as a residence). Both cities include clear development standards for B & Bs.

While I do not have direct data for Yakima, I did find some information in a study completed by Washington State Tourism that provides some data on visitors to the region at that time. From June through October 2003 the state had eighteen electronic survey devices placed at lodging establishments, attractions and visitor centers from Yakima to Walla Walla. The primary purpose was to gather data on visitors, with an emphasis on overnight visitors. A total of 5,084 surveys were used to compile the data. I have enclosed a copy of the visitor profile for your review. Some interesting information found in the report: • 8% of the overnight visitors to Washington Wine Country used a bed and breakfast • 66% of those interviewed in Yakima County were from Washington, the vast majority of those from King County • 49% of those staying the night were 35-54 years of age • 29% were 55 years or older • 54% of the total overnight visitors to Yakima County had a household income exceeding $75,000 • The visitors surveyed in Yakima County participated in a wide range of activities including visiting wineries, sightseeing, cultural events, historic attractions, shopping and dining.

Introduction The parties were directed at the close of the hearing to file a memorandum reviewing legal issues which arose during the hearing. This is submitted on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Radke, who met with me Monday, July 28, 2008. II. Facts During the hearing concerns were expressed as to the commercial nature of this proposal, with particular attention to the proposed driveway off Yakima Avenue and a proposed four space parking pad between the house and the street. In response to these concerns, Radke's are amending their site plan, as indicated in the attached exhibit one, to relocate the parking to the north of the house. The existing driveway will be utilized. All other facts remain the same, and will be addressed in the analysis below. III. Law Limited review of the record suggests that identifying controlling definitions is in order. This is a home occupation, a class 2 use in the single family residential zone. Table 4-1, listing permitted land uses, does not apply. YMC 15.04.090 defines home occupations and lists the review requirements. The table set forth there is instructive. Doctors, dentists, and home instruction of 6 to 8 students are all class 2 uses. Traffic generated by a medical professional seeing perhaps three patients an hour far exceeds anything which could be generated by this proposal to rent up to three bedrooms per day/night. Home instruction of up to five students is permitted outright as a class 1 use. A Yoga Instructor home occupation is licensed at 101 Park Avenue, immediately adjacent to,Radke's property. Hourly sessions of up to five students per hour obviously generate far more traffic than this proposal. RADKE POST HEARING MEMORANDUM Page 1 of 5 LAMB LEGAL 311 N. 3d Street DOC. P.O.

Bed and breakfast as a home occupation is up to five bedrooms. This is a 3 bedroom proposal. Class 2 uses are generally approved administratively, and are deemed generally permitted, with review focused on promoting compatibility with the intent and character of the zoning district and with the objectives of the Urban Area Comprehensive Plan. A home occupation involves the accessory use of a dwelling for gainful employment involving, in this instance, provision of services in the house. A parking lot is defined as providing parking for five or more vehicles. The proposal here involves space for four more vehicles. As such, it does not meet the definition of a parking lot. By comparison, Table 4-1 at YMC 15.04.030 declares duplexes, zero lot line dwellings, and up to seven multifamily dwellings as class 2 uses. Home occupations are required to meet several conditions listed at YMC 15.04.090(C), listed below: 1. Primary residence. Radke's live here, as their primary residence, since their -purchase-of the property in 2005. 2. Incidental and subordinate. No action is being taken which will impair reasonable use of the building as a residence. In fact, Radke's could build a large multi -car garage, and install a driveway anywhere: on the property, subject to obtaining a curb cut permit and compliance with building code and lot coverage rules. By comparison, this request to operate the bed and breakfast vaporizes if not operated by the resident. Prior occupants, as residents, have included up to ten family members with seven vehicles. Compliance with these listed criteria clearly makes the bed and breakfast subordinant to the primary residential use. These criteria are the best evidence of what the City Council intended in order to ensure compatibility. 3. No external alterations. Adding four parking spaces is not a "commercial parking tot" as suggested by the opposition. Notwithstanding the attached site plan revision which relocates the parking, most of the new larger houses on the west side of Yakima have multi -bay garages and large paved parking areas on their frontage street. Driveway modifications simply do not constitute exterior alterations. And there are no other modifications proposed. 4. No alteration of the existing residential character. There will be a small sign, per ordinance. Period. 5. No material increase in traffic. The average number of trip ends for a single family residence is ten. That is the average. Larger homes, homes with teenage drivers, often exceed the average. This is not an average home, but there is no evidence that traffic is likely to be a problem. City staff have reviewed and endorsed this proposal, and there is no evidence of any capacity limitations. By comparison, these two parcels comprise about 1.5 acres. Developed to capacity with single family houses at 7,000 square feet per lot, up to seven houses would generate materially significant additional traffic, all permitted under current zoning. 6. No significantly increased water/sewer usage. Anyone with a house full of teenagers could only hope -to have to deal with a bed and breakfast. Linens are presumably changed more often in a bed and breakfast than in a normal house. However, this site is on public water and sewer, and any increased usage will have no impact on the neighbors. If this is a compatibility concern, the relevance is not clear. If the house can not handle the strain, that is a business/economic decision for the owners to deal with. This proposal does not increase either the number of bedrooms or the number of bathrooms. RADKE POST HEARING MEMORANDUM Page 2 of 5 LAMB LEGAL 311 N. 3d Street P.O. Box 4 DOC.

Analysis The record reflects, and this entire community knows, that RoseDell Mansion is a unique property, anchoring perhaps the premier residential area of old Yakima. In recent years this property has had a checkered economic past, and it is safe to assume that literally everyone hopes that this building and property can survive without material alteration or dismemberment. ti katcE!"Ead` JUL 3 1 2008 CITY OF YAKimir, PLANNING DIV. The subdivision rules, allowing 7,000 square feet per single family lot, actually encourage dismemberment. Zoning rules adopted in east Yakima in the 1980's changed R-1 to multi- family housing, in an effort to "renovate" one of our oldest, but declining, neighborhoods. Now once stately homes are carved up into butchered apartments, or dismantled, replaced with apartments maximizing space, at the expense not only for parking but also for garbage dumpsters. The school district is overburdened, and neighborhood parks and pools, ones that may still be open, are clearly inadequate. So this proposal builds on what is there, not on what other development projects could be. This is not a proposal for outdoor weddings and family reunions with live music in what is perhaps the finest privately owned park in Yakima. This is a proposal to use the house for which it was built: eating, sleeping, living. The Examiner's comments at the close of the hearing requested input concerning parking, what constitutes a subordinate use;whether parking constitutes an external alteration, and traffic volume. Parking. The attached revised site plan utilizes the existing driveway off Park, places the additional parking between the main house and the carriage house, completely removing any impact to Yakima Avenue. Mobility limited guests can still be dropped off from either the Yakima or Park driveways, with vehicles subsequently parked behind the mansion. This revision is responsive to all compatibility concerns. Even though a single family residence, as noted above, could build a monster garage and parking area almost anywhere on this parcel, with no recourse by the neighbors. Subordinate Use. This ordinance defines what a subordinate use is by explicitly providing that up to five bedrooms may be permitted as a home occupation. The City Council has determined that up to five bedrooms is generally permitted, as a class 2 use. They did.not choose to use square footage, instead imposing a numerical limit on the number of bedrooms. This is logical, since two guests have the same impact whether they are staying in a 1,000 square foot suite or a 10x15 foot bedroom. External Alterations. The question raised is whether a parking area is a substantial external alteration, or whether that ordinance provision applies to the house itself. This ordinance does not even define a 4 lot parking area as a parking lot. Given the right to build a garage, or to create a paved parking area for a house, it is clear that this alteration is allowed. Case law clearly establishes the obligation to consider the impacts of permitted uses when considering alternate uses. If the impacts are similar, the use is permitted. See, for instance, Hansen v. Chelan County, 81 Wn.App. 133 (1996). Traffic. I do not have ready access to the 2003 7th edition of the ITE Trip Generation Manual.

(My dated reference materials indicate that trip generation data is provided for lodging land use codes which are hotel, all -suites hotel, business hotel, motel, and resort hotel.) This Seattle document analyzes proposed amendments to the Seattle ordinances dealing with B&B uses in single family zones. Their analysis for a 3 room B&B posits two round trips per room: arrival, departure for dinner and return, check out the next day, resulting in four trip ends or two round trips per room, for a total of twelve at full occupancy. Their conclusion is that twelve trips, together with the eight to ten trips associated with an average single family residence, is unlikely to have a significant adverse impact in any of Seattle's single-family neighborhoods. Furthermore, it is important to note that these numbers are spread over two days. Only at continuous full occupancy would trip ends reach the maximum. The City of Yakima has an obligation under the Growth Management Act to consider traffic. concurrency in evaluating development proposals. In this instance, city staff has concluded that there are no traffic capacity limitations. — - V. Conclusion One of the problems in dealing with a new proposal is the fear that government will not adequately enforce conditions of approval. That once approved, the owners will ignore all regulations, leaving neighbors wishing that nothing had been approved in the first place. This crisis of confidence in government's ability to regulate and react makes it extraordinarily difficult for good faith projects to get off the ground. The challenge is to fashion reasonable conditions of approval, and then for local government to actually follow up. This project is a simple one. No building additions or modifications mean that expansion is basically self limited. The operators will be living there. It is not an absentee operation or a franchise. The broader problem for this community is that if a home occupation bed and breakfast cannot fit here under our regulations, it for all practical purposes cannot exist anywhere. If we cannot see our way to make this work here, we may as well close the development door and turn out the lights. We do not need to strip the facade off this building, and then hem and haw as to whether'it is historically significant. It is, and government need not spend money to protect it. Private capital has been deployed to buy this mansion, will be employed to operate it, and market forces will see that it is in operated in a way that draws customers interested in a truly unique experience in the heart of our community. The Yakima Avenue neighborhood is rightly concerned to be protective of a very special ambience. Part historical, part architectural, part natural trees and landscaping, but mostly people, fiercely dedicated to their homes. Fiercely dedicated like almost every other homeowner, regardless of their financial circumstances. Single family zoning in our country reflects this fierce protectionism, prohibiting or limiting many other uses. Here, this zoning tempers that protective envelope for R-1, laying out standards which must be met, even for a use which this ordinance treats as "generally permitted". This proposal meets all standards, is the best hope for the future of this unique property, and should be approved. RADKE POST HEARING MEMORANDUM Page4of5 DOC.

City of Seattle Gregory J. Nickels, Mayor Department of Planning & Development D. M. Sugimura, Director CITY OF SEATTLE ANALYSIS AND DECISION OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SEPA Threshold Determination for Amendments to Bed & Breakfast Use Requirements in Single Family and Multifamily Zones 1 1 1 1 1 Project Sponsor. Councilperson Richard Conlin i Location of Proposal: The proposal relates to all single-family and multifamily zoned areas in Seattle. BACKGROUND Proposal Description This proposal is for amendments to the Land Use Code requirements for Bed and Breakfast (B&B) uses in single-family and multifamily zones (Sections 23.44.018, 23.44.051, 23.45.116, 23.45.160, and 1 23.54.015). The amendments would provide the ability to establish B&Bs as accessory administrative conditional uses in single-family and multifamily zones. The amendments would provide general provisions, including allowable interior and exterior alterations consistent with development standards of the underlying zone and dispersion requirements. The amendments would also provide a set of criteria for lessening impacts that must be met in order for administrative conditional approval of a specific proposal to be granted. Section 23.54.015 is amended to include Bed and Breakfast as a use requiring one parking space for each dwelling unit, plus one parking space for each two guest rooms. ANALYSIS - OVERVIEW The following describes the analysis conducted to determine whether or not the proposal would have a probable significant adverse environmental impact. This threshold determination is based on: • the proposal, as described above and other documents; • the information contained in the SEPA checklist; • additional information, such as analyses prepared by City staff; and • the experience of DPD analysts in reviewing similar documents and actions. 1 1 1 DOC. INDEX # F' S?_ 1 Bed & Breakfast -Related Amendments SEPA Threshold Determination Page 2 JUL 3 1 2008 CITY OF YAKIMra, PLANNING DIV. ELEMENTS OF THE ENVIRONMENT Adoption of the proposed amendments would result in no immediate adverse short-term environmental impacts because the adoption would be a non -project action. The discussion below generally evaluates the potential long-term impacts that might conceivably result from differences in future land use patterns due to the proposed amendments. Natural Environment Noise Future bed and breakfast uses ambled by the proposed code amendments are unlikely to result in significant adverse noise impacts. With the proposed size limitations, typical levels of noise generated from a B&B would not likely generate significantly more noise than could be generated by other permitted residential uses in single-family or multifamily zones. Currently, single-family residences in single-family zones may accommodate up to eight unrelated individuals who may generate noise by typical activities such as coming and going in automobiles and other motorized vehicles, engaging in outdoor activities, playing music or hosting parties. During a typical operation, a B&B would likely be able to accommodate its activities indoors without excessive noise generation and operate similar to a single-family residence. B&B owners would have an expectation of peace and quiet for the sake of guests' rest in late evening hours and would be required to have a plan to encourage guests to be respectful of residential neighbors, a plan that would include quiet hours, limits on programmed on-site outdoor activities, and policies regarding parking. Built Environment Land Use Bed & Breakfasts which are already -operating are allowed within single-family and multifamily zones, per Land Use Code Sections 23.44.051 and 23.45.160. This implies that B&Bs are a compatible use within these residential zones when they comply with the requirements. Except for a sign as permitted by 23.55.020 or 23.55.022, there would be no evidence of the bed and breakfast use from the exterior of the structure. Also, in both single-family and multifamily zones, the owners' residency requirement, the limitation on outside employees, and the limitation on number of guest rooms and total guests tend to limit activity levels in a way that supports compatibility. With these provisions, the character of the single-family and multi -family zones—their density, development pattern and intensity of use—can be maintained. In single-family and in multifamily zones the lot line of a property containing a bread and breakfast use must normally be located six hundred feet from any lot line of another legally established B&B in order to ensure substantial separation between these uses. Although bed and breakfast uses are not specifically mentioned in the City's Comprehensive Plan land use policies, the general provisions and criteria of approval of the proposed amendments should maintain overall compatibility with surrounding land uses and the overall character of single-family and multifamily zones. Bed and breakfast uses in single-family and multifamily zones would remain consistent with the City's land use plans and policies. DOC. INDEX 5a Bed & Breakfast -Related Amendments SEPA Threshold Determination Page 3 Height/Bulk/Scale RECEIVED JUL 3 1 2008 CITY OF YAKIMb PLANNING DIV. Because any interior or exterior alterations of the structures within which the. bread and breakfast uses will be permitted must be consistent with the development standards of the underlying zones, this proposal does not have significant adverse height, bulk or scale impact implications. Transportation The proposed non -project action would result in no direct adverse impacts on. transportation The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) does not publish a vehicle trip generation rate for B&B uses. For future development of individual B&Bs, a reasonable daily vehicle trip generation rate for a 3 -room B&B can be estimated by making a few assumptions. If each nightly guest group arrived via car, dined out and returned, then left the next morning, their traffic volumes would be 4 vehicle trips per occupant, or 12 daily vehicle trips. If each of the two possible outside. employees arrived and departed once daily, that would account for 4 vehicle -trips. If the home's residents followed typical residential patterns, they would generate up to approximately 8-10 daily vehicle trips. The maximum total trip generation using these assumptions would be 24-26 vehicle trips per day, compared to approximately 8-10 for a typical single family home occupied by one family (a home with several unrelated individuals could generate more daily traffic than 8-10 trips). These trips would likely occur in typical daytime and evening hours, with roughly half occurring in the late afternoon and early evening hours. The resulting potential traffic volumes and patterns are not likely to affect traffic operations in a significant adverse manner in any of the city's single-family or multifamily neighborhoods. As noted in the Land Use discussion, the dispersion criteria that must be met by a B&B which is proposed would normally prevent concentrated increases in overall traffic activity. Furthermore, among the criteria that must be met by a proposed B&B is a requirement that the intended use must be in an area well served by transit and the proprietor of a proposed B&B must provide the B&B's patrons with information regarding transit availability. With adherence to parking requirements in Section 23.54, a bed and breakfast use of up to 3 guest rooms in either a single-family or multifamily ane is not likely to generate significant levels of off-site parking demand on adjacent streets. If one or two off-street parking spaces are provided, then the potential on -street parking demand from a new B&B would likely be one or two spaces. The proposed amendments, requiring an administrative conditional use process for approval of a proposed B&B in either a single-family or multifamily zone, will ensure public input into the analysis. In authorizing a conditional use, the Director of the Department of Planning and Development may address adverse negative impacts from traffic or other sources, and requirements or conditions deemed necessary for the protection of other properties in the area may be imposed to mitigate any adverse negative impacts of the proposal.

I have watched as our .beautiful "castle" at 1811 W. Yakima Ave has deteriorated over the years. Recently I saw to my amazement a startling improvement in the appearance of the residence and in fact see the owners working steadily themselves to bring that house back to it's former glory! I am thrilled that that house is being so lovingly and painstackingly restored!! I have seen other beautiful, old Yakima homes deteiorate, such as mygrandparent's old home at 16th and Chestnut. I am surprised that any neighborswould object to this house becoming a Bed and Breakfast. Not only does it add to the beauty and value of their own neighborhood, but the effects of having such a low impact "business" would be negligible. Traffic: the grounds to the house are very generous and allow for parking many vehicles which would not be visible from the street. And their are two entrances to the property, so entry and exit would be easy. Most towns and cities have Bed and Breakfast businesses in the established residential sections of town...that is the attraction to stay in these old, established areas instead of the more commercial hotel areas. I hope that you will modify whatever laws there are on the books to allow this residence to become a Bed and Breakfast. Thank you, Elizabeth A.

Chestnut Avenue Yakima, WA 98902 July 29, 2008 Bill Cook, Director of Community & Economic Development City of Yakima 129 North 2nd Street Yakima, WA 98901 RE: Holli Radke UAZO Class (2) #22-08 Mr. Cook, This is my third letter opposing the proposal to turn Rosedell into a bed and breakfast; I also testified at the hearing on July 24, 2008. The American Planning Association (APA) and the American Bed and Breakfast Association (AABA) have set guidelines for bed and breakfast establishments regarding parking. Under Article D: bed and breakfast (homestay — which is a private, owner occupied residence with one to three guestrooms) one space per guestroom plus two spaces for residence. Spaces shall be located to the side and rear of the building and shall be screened from adjacent properties by a four -foot high wood or masonary fence or by sight -obscuring. vegetation of the same height. The Radkes have proposed only four parking spaces, in the front yard, with no apparent attempt to screen the area. Parking is an important issue with this proposal because of its visibility in the neighborhood. The parking location is a big source of conflict with those of us opposed to the homestay. In addition, Yakima Avenue is a narrow street, with a hill peaking at Rosedell, making entry and exit of the property a problem. Also under guidelines set by the APA and the AABA under Article E: the homestay operation shall not use more than fifty (50%) percent of the floor area of the principal residence. Common areas such as the kitchens are not included in this calculation. Rosedell has only four bedrooms so the homestay will occupy seventy-five (75%) of the floor area. It's clear when the Radkes purchased Rosedell, they intended to recoup some investment costs and generate income and profits. They may even see a B&B as a way to maintain and restore Rosedell. Those of us opposed to the B&B see commercialism. The neighborhood has united more times than we wanted to suppress the creeping commercialism. Irregardless of all the concerns arising from the proposed Rosedell B&B — the parking, commercialism, floorspace, traffic density, etc. etc., the bottom line for those opposed to the proposal is really about preserving THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE ONLY ONE -OF- ITS -KIND IN YAKIMA!!! By allowing this single-family dwelling, as it was built and retained for many years, to become a commercial enterprise in this neighborhood IS WRONG! The City of Yakima has an obligation to be a custodian of those areas in Yakima that are exceptional. Please give some serious consideration to your final decision. Durella DeGrasse DOC.

I had previously responded to your office via email with my strongconcerns about the PARKING lot to be placed on Yakima Ave. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 111 11 As I sat through the comments, I began siding with the many who spoke about the importance of111 "preserving" this local treasure, and the difficulties (if not impossibility) for finding single family ownership for such a property. Not to mention, how much the entire neighborhood appreciates the hard work that the Radkes are putting into their property. However, the insightful comments from Mr. Semon, Mr. Picatti and Mr. Carmody clarified the situation and solidified by position. IT IS JUST PLAIN WRONG TO PUT SUCH A BUSINESS IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD! As Mr. Carmody so well presented- this is NOT about people (the Radkes), and it is. not about Historic Preservation; this is solely a LAND USE issue, and as such a Bed and Breakfast does NOT FIT the guidelines for a home occupancy business in this case . As I understand the guidelines, a home occupancy business MUST BE INCIDENTAL to the home being a "residence", and this is clearly not the case with three of the four bedrooms, the entrance, the kitchen all being used COMMERCIALLY. Need 1 mention that Parking lot? It is very apparent now, that the owners clearly intended to purchase the home for commercial use and not as a primary residence. And since they admit that they have never before done such a business, nor seem to be particularly passionate about the Hospitality business, the fears of the neighborhood residents are quite justified. What happens when the Radkes move on ( and they will- that is what they do)? Once this property is converted to a B&B, it will not be likely to appeal to those who would love it and live in it as a HOME. Once the line is crossed- by allowing "commercialization" in whatever form, to get a toe -hold in this great family neighborhood, we will NOT be able to go back. We cannot UNRING THE BELL so to speak. That is a huge "Negative Impact" on the area. THE INTEGRITY OF THE R-1 ZONING RESTRICTIONS MUST BE UPHELD without regard to personalities.

My name is Gary Forrest and I live at 3011 Barge St. in Yakima as I have for the past 39 years. I am a member of the Barge -Chestnut Neighborhood Association, its Historical Preservation Committee and its Traffic Committee but, I speak only for myself. I apologize for not being here today, for a previously scheduled medical procedure prevents my attendance. Thank you for allowing the presentation of this letter. For 39 years almost on a daily basis, I have driven past that grand (and for most of those years, not so grand) estate at 1811 West Yakima Ave. One could' only wonder about its elegant beginnings and the first half century of existence and then reflect on present conditions and feel a great sadness at the neglect and loss of respect that the home and the neighborhood endured year after year. It was hard to watch and it became a concern especially after the California Rock Band era and rumors of what might happen to the property in the future. Some said a Gentleman's club with a liquor license, or maybe torn down and the property subdivided. It stood empty for several years. What a thrill it is, now to see owners with a great interest in restoring the home and the grounds. I have never seen the place look better. Now, we have neighbor against neighbor because the Radke's want to establish a Bed & Breakfast as a home business which is allowed under current zoning regulations that include a long list of obligations the owners must abide by in order to protect and maintain the residential character of the home and consequently the neighborhood. Some have complained about the prospect of off street parking being created near the front entrance for four or five cars and how unsightly and unsafe that would be given how the home is situated in relationship to Yakima Ave. The Radke's appear flexible in their parking design and I can not imagine them creating an eye sore for the neighborhood and themselves. My goodness, just continue west on the avenue and you'll see many examples of off-street parking in the front of homes, some are very attractive and others are unfortunate. Where were the complaints when some of these were created? Maybe the neighbors realized that they had little to say when the_ INDEX # i=-45 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 construction was legal, ugly or not. As for traffic, four or five extra vehicles traveling Yakima Ave. isnot a problem. A traffic problem is the great number of drivers using Yakima Ave. as a short cut to the Hospital or because they are avoiding Tieton or Summitview and half of which find it impossible to drive the speed limit. Another argument heard is how this" B & B will just open the door to more businesses moving into the neighborhood and we want to keep the neighborhood as it is". I'm not sure what we are trying to protect against? The neighborhood has been open to home based business under the zoning ordinance for a long time and we have survived these 75 years quite well. Researching the Polk City Directories this past year was an eye opener_In the Thirties and Forties, every other house it seemed was a B 86 B only they didn't call it that back then. Some were called `boarding houses'; others were just renting out the spare rooms' to make ends meet. Others were doctors, lawyers or accountants operating from home. I am not in favor of a B & B as a commercial operation that would require a zoning change from R-1. I am in favor of a B & B as a family operated home business operated under the present zoning regulations. If done well, it could become a great asset to the neighborhood and to the Radke's; if nothing more than the incentive and means to continue with the restoration of house and grounds, which certainly benefits ,the neighborhood.

As a private citizen living at 5 South 32nd Avenue in Yakima, I would like to offer my support to the request for the designation of the residence known as Rosedell, which is located at 1811 West Yakima Avenue, as a family operated, home-based Bed and Breakfast. I support this request as long as the designation means the residence remains zoned R-1 and that no future plans are presented to change from the current R-1 zoning to any other zoning, including but not limited to, R-2, R-3 or any business zoning. If that were to happen, I would have to rethink my support. I feel that the work put in to this home has greatly improved the neighborhood. When the Radke family purchased this home, it was in disrepair due to neglect. They are restoring the home to its original glory. I do not feel they would endanger the value of the home and all their hard work by doing anything that would detract from its grandeur. A family operated, home-based B & B like this is compatible with the current function of many locations in the neighborhood. Over the years, there have been other B & B locations in the neighborhood between Tieton Drive and Summitview and 161 and 32nd Avenues. There are also several other residences which have now, or have had in the past, home-based operations including a dance studio, a contractor's office across the street from my home, a beauty shop down the street, doctors' offices, yoga instructors, bookkeepers and someone who does dental work at home. None of these have caused the neighborhood to deteriorate. In some cases, it has allowed the owners to maintain or even improve the integrity of their home and of the neighborhood. I do not feel that a home-based B & B at this location would have a negative impact on the neighborhood or "open the door" to types of businesses that don't already exist here. Concerns have also been expressed about the additional parking that is part of this request. It is my understanding that the size of parking area requested would actually be smaller than that which is in front, or beside, several other homes within a short distance from this location. It appears the parking request is compatible with current neighborhood standards. I feel what is being done to restore and maintain this home will only enhance the unique ambiance of this neighborhood. Please allow them to proceed under the current city guidelines that allow them to have a family operated, home-based Bed and Breakfast in a residence zoned R-1. Thank you, Walt Ranta p. s. There are other communities that also have B & B's in their historic neighborhoods. In Spokane, for example, the former mayor's home has even been transformed into a restaurant and a nearby "house" has become a B & B. These not only don't detract from the historic nature, but also give people a destination that allows them to stay in and enjoy the unique neighborhood. DOC. INDEX F-44 Here to speak in opposition to the Bed & Breakfast application Live across the street RECEIVED JUL 2 4 2008 CITY OF YAKIMA PLANNING DIV. I am concerned about anything that changes the character, look and feel of the neighborhood... I think a 4 car Parking Lot in the middle of the yard across the street from me changes the area's character to a commercial look -and feel I think the Bed & Breakfast will be the start of a commercial creep into our neighborhood City has limited resources... so if approved Monitoring & Supervision will be a low priority for the city; ... Facility could morph into something even more commercial than a Bed & Breakfast. I would concede the neighborhood has a number of home businesses, but none require parking lots and nor have over night clientele I would differ with the applicants statement that this bed & breakfast is in the best interests of the community. It does not serve the community if it has a detrimental affect on its neighborhood. I signed on as a home owner in 1985 in • a strictly residential neighborhood. Over the years I have lobbied against a number of proposals to change it. I'm here today to ask again that my neighborhood not be commercialized. tga ()) qt<mcv /41 e/ DOC.

PLA IGG Thank you for the call yesterday seeking information on bed and breakfast customers. While I do not have direct data for Yakima, I did find some information in a study completed by Washington State Tourism that provides some data on visitors to the region at that time. From June through October 2003 the state had eighteen electronic survey devices placed at lodging establishments, attractions and visitor centers from Yakima to Walla Walla. The primary purpose was to gather data on visitors, with an emphasis on overnight visitors. A total of 5,084 surveys were used to compile the data. I have enclosed a copy of the visitor profile for your review. Some interesting information found in the report: • 8% of the overnight visitors to Washington Wine Country used a bed and breakfast • 66% of those interviewed in Yakima County were from Washington, the vast majority of those from King County • 49% of those staying the night were 35-54 years of age • 29% were 55 years or older • 54% of the total overnight visitors to Yakima County had a household income exceeding $75,000 • The visitors surveyed in Yakima County participated in.a wide range of activities including visiting wineries, sightseeing, cultural events, historic attractions, shopping and dining. Form my twenty five years of experience in the travel and tourism industry, I recognize that bed and breakfasts provide a unique niche' for visitors. Please let me know if there is anything else I can provide. Sincerely, John Cooper President and CEO DOC.

Yakima Avenue, Yakima, WA, better known as Rosedell, mansion built in 1905 by A.E. and Rose Parker Larson. ADDENDUM You have at hand with a photo copy of my original correspondence with you, this addendum I think will be of interest. I am sorry I cannot attend the hearing due to the serious health considerations of my spouse, Royal G. Little. Please review the enclosed which is an excellent portrayal of three very well thought of individuals: A.E. LARSON ELIZABETH PRIOR WILLIAM O. DOUGLAS These folks are pictured in a Sunday Yakima Herald -Republic section, March 20, 2000. All were active in our Yakima Educational System. A.E. Larson was a school board Chairman for Yakima School District No. 7 ; Miss Elizabeth Prior, with Yakima Junior College, part of Yakima School District No. 7 until 1977; and William O. Douglas, who Graduated from Yakima High School in 1916, also a part of Yakima School District No. 7 in Yakima County and one of Miss Prior's most illustrious students at Yakima Junior College. I would also like to comment on A.E. Larson's will, again. The photocopy of the will I enclosed before is very poor. It was from the original copy at the courthouse and that was the best I could do with the machine available. I did, after considerable study and further research, understand that A.E. Larson willed the mansion, Rosedell, to be an Art Gallery and Museum after she passed away. As it turned out, the City of Yakima officials of that time did not want the mansion for an art gallery and the mansion and property were returned to the Parkers. There were some legal problems when the Federal government taxes had to be resolved and then proceeds from the property were given to Yakima Junior College for building the present Larson Art Gallery and Museum (see sign on building still there in 2008) next to the Prior Hall, named for Elizabeth Prior. I am an alumnus, Class of 1961 of the Yakima Junior College, and our alumni placed a plaque to honor Miss Prior on the Prior building about five years ago. Several years ago Supreme Court Justice, William O. Douglas, was honored at A.C. Davis High school with a statue by this community. To date, I can't think of any honors for A.E. Larson that our community has supported. His will gives an excellent list of his gifts to us. Let us permit his mansion to be a "bed and breakfast" so we anyone who wishes, can visit the mansion for a "bed and breakfast."

Yakima Avenue, better known as ROSEDELL, mansion built in 1905 by A.E. and Rose Parker Larson and named for Rose and Adelbert E. Larson, who was better known as A.E. His real name was Adelbert E. Larson and this writer has never established his middle name. For this report we will go by the initials of "A.E." which he preferred for business and social folks.111 This writer has file drawers and boxes of research of this very well recognized person and his wife, Rose, plus Rose's son Shirley Parker, from her former marriage to Orlando 1 Parker. Shirley gifted the baseball park for his Pippins to the junior college. Shirley and his mother gave much of the campus for the college and the Larson Art Gallery is a very special place open free to a constant flow of artistic talents from people who know very little about the generosity of this family. In the four year educational building we see the Parker Room and outdoors, the Parker Plaza. writer was involved inpolice work in connection with the Yakima police This Department, the Yakima County Juvenile Department, the Yakima County Sheriffs Office, the Yakima County Prosecuting Attorneys Office, and assisted the resident agent of the Federal Bureau of Idenification (FBI) over a period from 1951 through to 1965. I learned how to interview and get the facts to present to cases that I touched and when I research, I research from basic facts that a prosecutor can use. Most of the facts are backed up with documentation. The enclosed "LARSON LEGACY" pages is roughly correct Some of the material is not but has become historical because someone took time to write clown his/her thoughts. I have inaccuracies in A.E.'s name and initials. In fact, at Yakima Valley Museum I found his name incorrectly spelled several different places. The only place where I found A.E.'s signature was with his wife's signature and the signature of W.W. Robertson, the famous "Colonel Robertson, owner of the Yakima newspapers. He and his wife with the Larsons, signed a document allowing Edna Robertson Larson to be qualified to handle a $2,000 insurance policy in 1922 for his sons, after he died suddenly in 1922. I doubt that DOC. 1 INDEX 41 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 a�11.-AllQ11mCLQ JUL 242008 CITY OF YAKIMA many even knew that Edna Robertson Larson was A.E.'s sister-in-law and that W.WPLANNING DIV. Robertson was Arthur Larson's brother-in-law. That's what research is all about and there will be a book about this family and what they meant to the citizens of the Yakima Valley. A.E. Larson was a modest man who left a 300 acre farm on the shores of Freeborn Lake, near Alden, Minnesota. Two other men from that state are better recognized. Chester Congdon and H.M. Gilbert. Congdon's Castle is one location almost everyone would like to explore. The home of H.M. Gilbert is recognized as it is part of Yakima Valley Museum and open to visitation for special events. There sits Rosedell with no one allowed to visit and enjoy the home and grounds over: 100 years of age. We have the A.E. Larson Building and there have been all kinds of tributes and articles about this beautiful monument to the financial success of A.E. and Rose Parker Larson. We have to remember that behind every successful man are two people, his wife, and his secretary. No one has come forward with the title of a secretary and itis believed to be Rose Parker Larson. She is the one who kept the family library which was inherited by her grandson, Daryl Parker. Daryl's father was Shirley Parker, who was well known in his school days at North Yakima high school. His step father, A.E., was chainmen of the school board in 1901, the year that the first four year class of the high school graduated and he invited the Governor of Washington to the graduation The graduation was held in Larson's Theatre in Yakima. Principal of the class was Ella Parker Stair, sister of Orlando Parker, who was the father of Shirley Parker. See the history — OUR YESTERDAYS, 1885-1956 — The story of our Yakima District No. 7 Schools. Look in the back for some interesting additions. The above paragraph is the result of careful investigation and proof in the files of research this writer conducted. The reason for bringing this large file to you is to provide the opportunity to the present Rosedell mansion to have a bed and breakfast in this beautiful former home of A.E. and Rose Larson, and her son, Shirley Parker, which was restored by Randy Butler, now of Colorado. Randy allowed this writer to video the entire building and grounds with the provision that I was to show Mr. Larson's commitment to the Yakima area. I agreed and have attached the DVD for your enjoyment and education. It has been very popular and led me to video tape the A.E. Larson Building from construction to dedication (1930- 1931). Both of these videos have elicited praise and we must acknowledge that Eleanor Parker (Shirley Parker's wife) had the foresight to retain family photographs, which I got from her son, Daryl Parker, who inherited his father's and grandmother's estate. Daryl has continued his interest in following in the footsteps of his father and his grandmother and many of you know we now have PARKER YOUTH AND SPORTS FOUNDATION. A flyer about this new foundation is in the back of the book, Our Yesterdays, 1885-1956. One of their activities is a sports legends weekend of reminiscing and golf This brings back former athletes of our area each year. The DOC. INDEX # F— q JUL 2 4 2008 CITY OF YAKIMA PLANNING DIV. foundation is made up of many sportsminded educational folks as well as those who love sports and follows a similar program that Shirley Parker began in earlier days. I am attaching a very `rough copy" of a story about Larson and his life, which I have used as a guide for my "facts." There are two books in progress. One is about the Parker and Larson lineage and the other is about A.E.'s nephew, Major Donald A. Larson, who was killed August 4, 1944 over Germany when one of his own pilots hit his plane, No one in that flight knew what happened to Don Larson. Not until captured German war records were translated in 1946 and Don's remains with British and American pilots were located. They were in a small town cemetery, buried there by German soldiers and Don's remains were identified by his dog tags. I have the complete story from discovery to his final burial in Belgium in a National Cemetery. A.E. must have been very fond of Major Donaald Larson, who was born one of identical twins on April 2, 1915 in Yakima. Ronald, the identical twin, died after a bicycle accident at S. 5th Avenue and W. Yakima Avenue in Yakima, when he was thrown from his bike. He was run over by a truck and a lady passing by took him to the hospital in 1927 where he passed away. He is interred at the Tahoma Mausoleum next to his father, Arthur Larson, below the crypts for A.E. and Rose Larson. In his will, A.E. gave Major Larson $10,000 dollars in 1934 with an additional $10,000 when he was to attain age 30. He died in 1944 at age 29 and this money may have been gifted for the swimming pool at the YMCA. There is a plaque there with the name of his mother, Edna Larson, who became Mrs. Logan Roberts when Don Larson was in his teens. The three videos about the Larson -Parker family give different points of view but the facts are all in writing, or if not proved, at least pointed out as possibilities. There has been a previous hearing about the use of Rosedell for a center for retreats. The neighbors were adamant that this not be allowed. The owner, who purchased the mansion from Randy Butler, had a lovely tea and the neighbors in some cases were very rude to the hostess. Some felt it would encroach on their property value. Others thought it would have wild parties and the traffic would endanger the nearby residents. Now we have the Radkes with their request to make a bed and breakfast. There are four lovely bedrooms, each with its own beautiful bathroom, if they were able to bring it back to the beauty when Randy Butler left it. Sad to say there were tenants that may not have had the respect that we all have about special rooms in our National White House. For instance, the Abraham Lincoln bedroom which is sometimes opened for White House guests. Dozens of folks who have seen the video on Yakima CommunityTelevision, YCTV, Channel 21, Charter Television, have wished they could see the interior. If the wish of the Radke's is granted, those who wish to reserve a bedroom would have a wonderful opportunity to see this mansion as overnight guests. We have to realize that it takes a lot of money to heat or air condition a home of this size and the owners have to be dedicated to following zoning laws to the letter. There is no way that the Radkes will jeopardize all their hard work in the hands of vandals. I can visualize this bed and breakfast in the similar facility, Birchfield Manor, which also has DOC. INDEX a JUL 4 L 2008 CITY OF YAKIMA dining with fine foods. My own family has stayed at Birchfield Manor and the girls arePLANNING DIV. hoping the Radkes get their request for a bed and breakfast honored. There seems to be some who think this zoning change would allow all kinds of other businesses to come in. Some of these same people may have business licenses, themselves, for businesses that do not require customers to visit their homes. The customers for a bed and breakfast at Rosedell would enter at the back near the carriage house and Gazebo, or they could come in the gate on W. Yakima Avenue and drive to the rear of the mansion. In my research of the Larsons, they were very social folks and Mrs. Larson often entertained young folks. Some of whom are living today, who remember how they felt. It was a place of elegance but with a friendly atmosphere. A.E. had parties for the Christmas season that some still remember. Let's let,the Radkes provide another view of Rosedell. ( Rose for Rose Parker Larson and Dell for Adelbert (Dell) E. Larson.) If bedrooms in the White House such as the one for Abraham Lincoln can be used for guests, why not the bedrooms of Rosedell for you and me. I recommend that the Radkes be authorized to use the property known as Rosedell, at 1811 W. Yakima Avenue, Yakima, Washington as a "bed and breakfast" place to enjoy one of our best historical homes. I am sure that honeymooners and those celebrating 50 years of marriage would love to spend one night there. Please say "YES."

Hearing Examiner City of Yakima Home Occupation application by Holli Radke - To operate a bed and breakfast in the R-1, Single -Family Residential zoning district Located at 1811 Yakima Avenue, Yakima, WA UAZO CL (2) #22-08 HE #3-08 This Memorandum is submitted on behalf of Concerned Residents of West Yakima Avenue with respect to the proposed Home Occupation Application submitted by Holli Radke. The project application proposes to operate a bed and breakfast within the Singe -Family Residential (R-1) zoning district located at 1811 Yakima Avenue, Yakima, Washington. This submittal is in opposition to the issuance of a permit for the requested land use. I. FACTUAL BACKGROUND Holli Radke ("Applicant" or "Radke") submitted an application for Class (2) use approval to operate a bed and breakfast at 1811 Yakima Avenue, Yakima, Washington. The subject property is zoned Single -Family Residential (R-1) and is surrounded by an established and developed single family residential neighborhood. The neighborhood has been the subject of several intrusive land use applications and the community has actively opposed any effort to introduce any incompatible land uses. Many neighborhoods within the community have experienced change and deterioration as a result of the introduction of nonresidential commercial uses to an area. Once the first use is authorized, it is virtually impossible to stop or deny subsequent applications. Hearing Examiner Memorandum -1 DOC. INDEX # :NO The subject property is an historic residential structure. It has neither been used nor authorized for any purpose other than a single family residency. The property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as of July 12, 1990. The land use proposal requests authorization to operate a "bed and breakfast" on the property with three (3) rooms available for nightly occupancy. Overnight guests will be served breakfast. The application proposes the construction of four (4) parking stalls at the southwest corner of the property with immediate access to Yakima Avenue. Additional parking areas are located to the rear of the residence. Business hours are generally between 2:00 p.m. and 11:00 a.m. II. ZONING AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2.1 Bed and Breakfast Uses are Generally Prohibited in Single -Family (R- 1) Zoning Districts. Yakima Municipal Code prohibits "bed and breakfast" occupancies within the Single -Family Residential (R-1) zoning district. YMC 15.04.030 Table 4-1 Permitted Land Uses. The Single -Family Residential district is intended to accomplish the following: a. Establish and preserve residential neighborhoods for detached single-family dwellings free from other uses except those which are compatible with, and serve the residence of this district, and b. Locate moderate -density residential development, up to seven dwelling units per net residential acre, in areas served by public water and sewer. Detached single-family dwellings are the primary use in this district. The district is characterized by forty-five percent lot coverage; access to individual lots by local access streets; large front, rear and side yard setbacks; and one and two story structures. The density in the district is generally seven dwelling units per net residential acre or less. However,. development exceeding, seven dwelling units per net residential acre, may be allowed in accordance with Table 4-1 Chapter 15.04. This higher density development shall be allowed only on those limited occasions when the reviewing official finds that the location and site plan of the project is such that the higher density would be compatible with neighboring land uses and the level of public services, and is consistent with the goals and objectives in the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Hearing Examiner Memorandum -2 DOC. INDEX Plan. Public water, sewer and other urban services are generally available throughout the district. YMC 15.03.030(2). Any variation from the district intent statement requires consideration of and compliance with the adopted comprehensive plan. The beginning premise is this proceeding is that "bed and breakfast" is specifically identified in Table 4- 1 and is not allowed in the R-1 District. Any use that does not include a use classification is prohibited. 2.2 Limited and Conditional Authority Allows Consideration of "Bed and Breakfast" as a Home Occupation. The zoning ordinance allows for a limited exception for a "bed and breakfast" that qualifies as a "home occupation." YMC 15.04.090 Table 4-2. YMC 15.02.020 defines "home occupation" as follows: "Home occupation" means the accessory use of'a dwelling unit for gainful employment involving the manufacture, provision or sale of goods and/or services in the home. The zoning code goes on to define "accessory use" as "... a ... use which is ancillary to the operation or enjoyment of a lawful use, and appropriate and subordinate to such lawful use, except, uses otherwise regulated or prohibited." YMC 15.02.020. The definitions recognize that the "home occupation" must be an "accessory use" which is ancillary, appropriate and subordinate to the lawful use. The proposed bed and breakfast is not ancillary or subordinate to the primary use as a single-family residence. The dominant use is clearly as a commercial "bed and breakfast" operation. Such proposal is inconsistent with the clear and unambiguous ordinance language. The purpose of the "home occupation" provisions is as follows: Purpose. The conduct of business within a property may be permitted in the residential districts under the provisions of this section. It is the intent of this section to: 1. Ensure the compatibility of home occupations with other uses permitted in the residential districts; and, 2. Maintain and preserve the character of the residential neighborhood;, and, Hearing Examiner Memorandum -3 DOC. INDEX F -gip 3. Promote the efficient use of public services and facilities by assuring the services are provided to the residential population for which they were planned and constructed, rather than commercial uses. YMC 15.04.0 considered in review in the permitted only 90(A). Table 4-2 sets forth a list of "home occupations" as may be various zoning districts. A "bed and breakfast" is subject to Class (2) Single -Family Residential (R-1) zoning district. Home occupations are on a limited and circumscribed basis. Notes to Table 4.2 provide: Necessary Conditions. Home occupations are permitted as an accessory use to the residential use of the property only when all the following conditions are met. C. 1. The home occupation is conducted inside a structure within property on which is established the primary residence of the practitioner(s); 2. The home occupation is incidental and subordinate to the residential functions of the property. No action related to the home occupation shall be permitted that impairs reasonable residential use of the dwelling; 3. There are no external alterations to the building which changes the character of the dwelling; a. The portion of the structure, of facilities in which the home occupation is to be sited must be so designed that it may be readily converted to serve residential uses; 4. The business is conducted in a manner that will not alter the normal residential character of the premises by the use of color, materials, lighting and signs, or the emission of noise, vibration, dust, glare, heat, smoke or odors; 5. The home occupation does not generate materially greater traffic volumes than would normally be expected in a residential neighborhood; 6. There is no outside storage or display of any kind related to the home occupation; Hearing Examiner Memorandum -4 DOC. INDEX • 7. The home occupation does not require the use of electrical or mechanical equipment that would change the fire rating of the structure; 8. The home occupation does not require the use of electrical equipment that exceeds FCC standards for residential use; 9. The home occupation does not increase water or sewer use so that the combined total use for the dwelling and home occupation is significantly more than the average for residences in the neighborhood; 10. A business license is purchased where required;. 11. The home occupation is conducted only by immediate family members residing in the dwelling; 12. All stock in trade kept for sale on the premises is produced on-site by hand without use of automated or production line equipment. Granting approval for a home occupation, the reviewing official may attach additional conditions to ensure the home occupation will be in harmony with, and not detrimental to, the character of the residential neighborhood. Any home occupation authorized in the provisions of this title shall be open to inspection and review at reasonable times by the building and enforcement official for purposes of verifying compliance with the conditions of approval and other provisions of this title. In order to permit a "bed and breakfast" as a home occupation, each of the twelve (12) requirements must be supported by substantial evidence in the record. A failure to satisfy any one requirement mandates the denial of the permit application. III. LEGAL ANALYSIS The proposed home occupation for 1811 West Yakima Avenue as a "bed and breakfast" fails to satisfy the twelve (12) conditions necessary for issuance of a permit. The inconsistencies will be addressed more specifically during the course of the public hearing but a summary of comments are as follows: 1. The home occupation is conducted inside a structure within property on which is established the primary residence of the practitioner(s). DOC. INDEX Hearing Examiner Memorandum -5 111 Comment: The bed and breakfast operation includes both internal and external manifestations of the business activities. Three bedrooms and baths (together with kitchen and dining areas) are devoted to the commercial a. bed and breakfast operation. External manifestations of the business result from the requirement to construct an enlarged and parking area in the front of the facility. The parking is for commercial purposes . and the home occupation is not limited to activity within the residence. 2. The home occupation is incidental and subordinate to the residential functions of the property. No action related to �J the home occupation shall be permitted that impairs reasonable residential use of the dwelling. Comment: The "bed and breakfast" is the primary usage of the property. Three of the four bedrooms will be rented for overnight stay. All common areas of the facility are committed to the commercial undertaking. These activities are certainly not incidental or subordinate to the primary 1 residential function of the residence. It is clear that seventy-five percent (75%) of the use and occupancy is devoted to commercial purposes. It is incongruous to 1 assert that a fully operational bed and breakfast facility is subordinate to the primary residential usage of the property owners. The uncontroverted facts are that this is a commercial bed and breakfast operation. It is not the intent of the home occupation provisions to allow a commercial business in a residential zoning district This intent is clear from the absolute prohibition on commercial bed and breakfasts under Table 4-1. 3. There are no external alterations to the building which changes its character from a dwelling. Comment: The proposed usage requires the construction of a commercial parking lot on the front portion of the property. The parking lot is not a residential lot and is clearly designed to accommodate ,the commercial usage of the property. This external manifestation is even more significant in that it is located adjacent to West Yakima Avenue at the entry to the neighborhood residential areas. A commercial parking lot with striping is simply not residential in character. DOC. 11 Hearing Examiner Memorandum -6 INDEX # II 4. The business is conducted in a manner that will not alter the normal residential character of the premises by the use of color, materials, lighting and signs, or the emission of noise, vibration, dust, glare, heat, smoke or odors. Comment: Normal residential character is modified with the addition of a commercial parking lot. Noise and activity levels will increase with the temporary occupancies. 5. The home occupation does not generate materially greater traffic volumes than would normally be expected in a residential neighborhood. Comment: Single family detached housing generates 9.57 vehicle trip ins on a weekday. Institute of Transportation Engineers, Trip Generation 262 (6th Edition, 1997). Overnight occupancies generate much higher average trip generation. The average vehicle trip in per occupied room (on weekdays) is 8.92 trips per room. This level of trip generation would result in a three fold increase in traffic generation levels from the structure. This is a material change in traffic volumes that is not allowed with respect to a proposed home occupation. The home occupation does not increase water or sewer use so that the combined total use for the dwelling and home occupation is significantly more than the average for residences in the neighborhood. Comment: The use of three bedrooms (each with a separate bathroom) will clearly increase water and sewer usage from the property. The total usage will be significantly greater than the average for residences in the neighborhood. The proposed bed and breakfast does not meet each of the standards required for a home occupation. The proposed use is tantamount to a commercial bed and breakfast and is not consistent with the intent for "home occupancies". The clear purpose of home occupancies is to allow a very limited activity within a residential structure that results in no substantive change in the fundamental character and occupancies as a single family Hearing Examiner Memorandum -7 DOC.

I am enclosing several items that may help, which I am also furnishing the hearing examiner to study before he makes his decision. I know both you and the hearing examiner will be pleased to get the video, now on DVD, that I did about ten years ago. I have been an active producer at YCTV, Channel 21, for 24 years and have produced 180 programs for viewing on this City of Yakima station. The one on Rosedell has been shown a number of times and new viewers who see and recognize me always tell me how much they enjoyed the show and how much they wish they could visit the house. I can understand why. I spent hours videoing from the basement with its antiquated furnace complex to the kitchen with the "rose in the stained glass in the kitchen," if it has not been broken, to the attic where there were "blackout curtains" left from WW11 days that young people do not know about. The four bedrooms on the third floor with individual beautiful baths are breaktaking. Again, I hope that the previous family with kids didn't ruin anything. Randy Butler, the person who put Rosedell back in its former state of elegance tells the story of this in the video now on DVD. I also did videos for the A.E. Larson Building and the Larson Art Gallery on the Yakima Valley Community College campus next to the Prior Hall. I am sorry I cannot attend the hearing on July 24t. My husband is very ill and not expected to live so I want to spend these last days with him. However, the previous owner, Mrs. Newton, had a tea and invited the neighbors mend some of them were so insulting and apparently the hearing examiner went with them. This time you need to see if you can find out if there are any of them who have businesses just as you contemplate. I see no problem with B&B at all. Those visitors will pay a good sum and be so busy touring the mansion, or resting for the next day of visiting our area, they wouldn't think of doing damage! I presume the hearing will be aired on Y -PAC and I hope to see some of the folks I know on my television set with Charter TV, who want to visit, speaking in your behalf. It would be a great place for honeymooners or for married couples to visit for a Silver or DOC. INDEX = 3g Golden Anniversary. I am enclosing information about the Birchfield Manor Bed and Breakfast. I have given our two daughters gift certificates for dining and for bed and breakfast. They know I am writing you and hope to be guests at Rosedell. This beautiful place needs to be shared and I am with you in spirit as I write this! I also called the proprietors .of Patsy Clark, owners of a beautiful mansion of the same era as Rosedell in Spokane to get a flyer about this bed and breakfast. This may come later and I will route it to Alice Klein, assistant planner. This Spokane area mansion is not as beautiful as Rosedell. The Spokane Model T club hosted folks for this tour where we had lunch at Patsy Clark's. It was a wonderful 4th of July weekend and we were costumed with pre -1915 dress. The men had their white pants, suspenders, black bow ties and straw hats; the ladies had beautiful white cotton dresses with lace trim and wore huge hats with flowers and ostrich plumes. There were over 100 old time Model T cars of every year and body style touring from many of our States and Canada. We parked in front of the countless other Victorian homes and the owners came out to enjoy the scene we made. I shall never forget the ambiance of this section of Spokane. This is why it is so important to me that we have a place like Rosedell to give everyone an opportunity to see how people lived in this Victorian area. We were proudly told that the father of the current President Bush and some of his staff had dinner at Patsy Clark's once. Rosedell is a perfect place for safety and who knows when or if some person protected by the FBI does not find your facility just right for an overnight stay. Rosedell now has a lovely fence through which we can still enjoy the mansion and the carriage house from the days A.E. and Mrs. Rose Parker Larson had a horse and buggy and the driver lived on the second floor. I have a photo somewhere showing the hay mow under the eaves. It later housed A.E.'s cars. If you wish to call me, do in the evening. My husband requires a lot of care but by 8 pm he is settled down usually. I am enclosing the documentation of Mrs. Newton's attempt to get her wishes in 1996. Her spokes person at her tea had a rather gruff voice which did not add much to the afternoon talk with the sarcasm floating in the air by those opposed to any kind of business in that zone. If I were you, I would find a "gentle toned" representative or attorney, to assist you. The last time Randy and I toured the finished mansion, I got a big kick out of how he exercised his police dog. He went to the kitchen closet by the east door and took out his tennis racket. The dog raced after the ball down the slight hill to where the pond was and back with the ball. Randy did this several times and his dog got the exercise he required without being on a chain. Very clever! My very best thoughts and wishes on July 24th! Enclosures Co - ittle, Research.

(ADELBERT) E. LARSON's presence dominates the sky- scape of downtown: Yakima. He was a builder and business man who left an indelible mark on the Yakima Valley. Themost conspicuous of his creations was the A.E. Larson Building that opened for business in 1931, on the threshold of the Great Depression. Cost of the Larson Buildingwas pegged at 6750,000 and featured marble In the lobby, terrazzo corridor floors, ornamental trim that bordered the edifice on ail sides anda brick facing in 13 different shades. Larson first gained prominence in the tim- r industry, working his way along the coast and into. Ore- on before settling in Yakima n 1891. Eight years later, he urchased Scott Lumber Yard and followed that up a year iater by. building the Larson heater on Yakima Avenue. He titer owned the Donnelly Hotel and purchased the Ford`dealer- hip in Yakima. He served as ice president of Yakima First National Bank and bought the st bookmobile for the. Yakima Hey Regional Library. After died In 1934, at the age of 72, Larson left in his will provi- on for the creation of an art fiery and museum, which his fe established on the cam - us of Yakima Valley Commu- College. Much of the col- a e property and adjoining o park land was donated by the I son family. h ELIZABETH PRIOR iept her standards high, and because of that, the Yakima Valley has _a community collese.

North Yakima with her family when she was 19, Prior attended Washington State University and Columbia University; where she received her mas- ter's degree. She returned to Yakima and earned wide recognition as an outstanding teacher. She was soon given the titles of assistant principal and dean of girls at North Yaki- ma High School. Later,she became the first dean, of Yaki- ma Valley Junior College, but that job was in title only. it took until June of 1928, before the idea got off the drawing boards and the junior college actually opened. Prior kept the college moving ahead despite being cloistered in an old ele- mentary school for the next 21. years. She had always been known as a tough taskmaster, with a heart of. gold.

Plans to accommodate off street parking are in the works with little or no negative effect on the neighboring properties.

Avenue. 1 1 1 11 11 1111 11 11 11 1111 111 Dear Mr. Cook, I respectfully submit my comments on the zoning application of Hollie Radke. As the only grandchild of Rose and A.E. Larson I wish to express my family's support of the proposed rezoning application to allow a Bed & Breakfast business at the property known as "Rosedel." Over the past decade I have become involved in reviving my family's heritage in Yakima, realizing their love of community was greater than their tangible donations left behind. With our primary focus on YVCC, the Larson Gallery and the Parker Youth and Sports Foundation, we cannot overlook the importance of opportunity to revive the grandeur of this early 1900's estate of Rose and A.E. Larson, known as "Rosedel". Yakima's history of the early pioneers that settled in the Valley will continue as long as these magnificent turn of the century historical homes and buildings are preserved and recognized by the local citizens as well as the well travelled tourist. My Grandparents' original desire to donate "Rosedel" to the City of Yakima as a museum was declined by city officials due to budget restraints at that time (1940's). The current proposed use will not only revive a local treasure, but offer the traveler a bit, of history during their visits. Bed and Breakfast, as they are known, generally connotes a place with historical value or special offerings aside from the typical lodging and enhances its surroundings by the mere fact that those patronizing are seeking a sense of community. The rezoning to allow for such business with a limited commercial use is widely accepted throughout the country and would not adversely affect the surrounding neighbors with a mediated plan for any parking of visitors. I respectfully ask that the City of Yakima approve the application to grant this rezoning request to further the life of these historical landmarks. Very Sincerely, S. Daryl Park - r DOC.

Chestnut Ave. Yakima, WA 98902 ukl JUL 2006 CITY OF r;s(ili, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT I wrote you a letter on June 16, 2008, stating my position against the application by Holli Radke for a bed and breakfast at 1811 W. Yakima Avenue — the historic Rosedell. It's unlikely that I'll be able to attend the public hearing scheduled for July 24, 2008, so I'm compelled to add additional arguments against permitting the application. I thank you for scheduling the public hearing in response to some neighbor's request. Following are my comments regarding 15.04.090 — Home Occupation: A. Purpose 2. Maintain and preserve the character of residential neighborhoods DISAGREEMENT: allowing a commercial enterprise such as a bed and breakfast in a historic home, in a historic and one -of -a kind neighborhood, does not preserve the character of the neighborhood. 3. Promote the efficient use of public services and facilities by assuring these services are provided to the residential population for which they were planned and constructed, rather than commercial uses. DISAGREEMENT: this renowned home was constructed as a residence and allowing a bed and breakfast IS for commercial use. By allowing this application for a bed and breakfast, the door is open for adjacent/nearby properties to request the same. The owners of the home on 16th and Yakima Avenue have already expressed an interest and are closely watching the outcome of Holli Radke's application. C. Necessary Conditions. Home occupations are permitted as an accessory use to the residential use of the dwelling only when all of the following conditions are met: DOC. INDEX t -?31 1 1 1 1 I 1 1 1 1 1 2. The home occupation is incidental and subordinate to the residential functions of the property. No action related to the home occupation shall be permitted that impairs reasonable residential use of the dwelling. DISAGREEMENT: Holli Radke's site plan has proposed guest parking for four cars in the front yard, the pavement possibly compromising very old trees near the parking. In addition, a parking lot in the front yard DOES impair the quality of the residence. 4. The business is conducted in a manner that will not alter the normal residential character of the premises by the use of color, materials, lighting and signs, or the emission of noise, vibration, dust, glare, heat, smoke, or odors. DISAGREEMENT: there will be a need for lighting the parking,. which will alter the residential character and additional noise with several guests is imminent. There are many other concerns under the heading of Necessary Conditions such as whether there would be an increase in water or sewer use appropriate for the average residence in the neighborhood, whether the electrical or mechanical equipment would change the fire rating of the structure, and whether the planned three • bedrooms/bathrooms can be readily converted to serve residential use of the dwelling. Finally, if you do grant approval for a home occupation for 1811 W. Yakima Avenue, I hope you attach additional conditions that require Holli Radke to place the parking lot near the Park Avenue driveway. Though too late for this application, I hope the City of Yakima will consider removing bed and breakfasts as permitted home occupations in R I. Thank you.

The 300 days of sunshine and the wonderful cultural world here is a calling card for folks to retire in Yakima and if you don't believe it, start reading the legal notices in the Yakima Herald -Republic. Today's paper - an apartment complex with 342 apartments and 539 parking spaces in an R-3 district in the City of Yakima. A couple of days ago the beautiful mansion, Rosedell, built in1905 by A.E. Larson, who also built the A.E. Larson Building in downtown Yakima, had a legal notice indicating the current owner wish to establish a "bed and breakfast" like Birchfield Manor, near Moxee. Rosedell, 1811 W. Yakima Avenue, would be a great place to enjoy as honeymooners or a gift of the family to parents celebrating their golden wedding anniversary. This house was enjoyed by all kinds of community groups in its heyday. Please send your "yes" comments to Bill Cook at Yakima City Hall that both the apartment complex and the status of "bed and breakfast" be positive.

KIWANIS PARK - Conduct a wetlands assessment of Kiwanis Park. This pond could be very contaminatedfrom the former area in connection with incinerating garbage at the incinerator -smokestack for several decades. It is also a haven for mosquitoes which like still water. The covering of this pond with an attached drainage ditch would remove both of these possible contaminants. I am working on an article about Lyme disease and other health issues connected to chiggers, reptiles, spiders, etc. With people visiting new areas, they can be infected and return to our valley with health problems previously unknown. 1 move that this pond be covered. It will be unavailable to birds and humans! It can be made available for an extra ball field I understand would be useful to the local kids to use to play the old game I knew as "workup" we played with a ball made of a sock stuffed with rags and a piece of 2 X 4 for bat, 75 years ago. We were poor! CHESTNUT -BARGE AREA INCLUDING THE A.E. LARSON MANSION, ROSEDELL. The other paragraph deals with the calming of traffic in the Barge -Chestnut area. I had a call from a long time acquaintance that the neighbors in the area of Rosedell, the mansion built by A.E. Larson are disturbed that the newest owners want to establish a bed and breakfast at this beautiful location. 7/8/2008 DOC. INDEX # An attempt to do this was made a few years ago and that owner had to let the place go back and there has been a terrible history of ownership. I did a video on Rosedell for YCTV which showed it at its best and I went to the neighborhood meeting. I spoke for that owner to be allowed to have retreats and other quiet activities there. There is no limit on parking on the north side and it is within traveling distance with little gas problems. Local retreats would be a perfect outlet because these folks appreciate the beauty of Yakima. This mansion costs a lot to maintain and issues similar to Birchfield Manor will calm the city council's fear of drinking parties and vandalim. Anyone coming as a guest will have the money to pay their way and appreciate the opportunity to stay at Rosedell. If this issue comes up, feel free to call me and I will repeat my support for making Rosedell available for bed and breakfast and retreats. It has four bedrooms with each a bath on the third floor which were unbelievably well kept for a building erected in 1905 - now over 100 years old. Let's support this effort, if it is brought to the council's attention. KIWANIS PARK SKATEPARK FUNDING The final comments are for the funding of the skate park at the corner of Maple and Fair Avenue. By all means let's get this funded and built! I am happy those who appreciate the old buildings, such as the incinerator and smokestack, see that this is kept as is and room is there for the local people to have lawn, swings, picnic tables, etc. With other people using this neat little park, perhaps the type of skaters we have heard about near 40th and Englewood will not behave and appreciate a high quality skatepark we have heard is planned. Please give copies of this e-mail to each of the council members and department heads. You all know I am a full time care taker and care about the east side of Yakima very much.

A bed and breakfast is not an outright permitted use, except as a home occupation. It does not seem compatible and should not be there as a home occupation.

Yakima Avenue File number UAZO Class (2) #22-08 Dear Mr. Cook: This is to express our support for the bed and breakfast application submitted by Holli Radke. The subject property is located directly across Yakima Avenue from our residence. For the past two years we have witnessed the Radkes' hard work and considerable investment in restoring this property, originally constructed by A.E. Larson and known as Rosedell. During the decade or more prior to the Radkes' purchase of Rosedell we had watched with alarm as it, slowly deteriorated and reached the point where it was almost beyond repair. It had become a poorly maintained rental house, and Yakima was in danger of losing one of its prized historic landmarks. If this neighborhood is to retain its historic nature and attractiveness, it is essential that property owners maintain the old houses in good condition. In the case of large estates like Rosedell, this can be prohibitively expensive. Being able to earn some income through an unobtrusive business such as a bed and breakfast provides the owners with some means to maintain the buildings and grounds. We have had the experience of staying in bed and breakfast facilities established in private residences in historic neighborhoods of Walla Walla, Washington and Ashland, Oregon. In order to attract clients, these facilities were maintained so well that they actually enhanced their neighborhoods. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely, James B. and Sally F. Fitch 509-453-8171 DOC.

INDEX Holli Radke UAZO Class (2) #22-08 :SUE„ 2 4 ZOOi. CITY OF iA IMA COMMUNITY DEVELOF'MENT This is a letter of support for Holli Radke's request for a B&B. We live across from their property on Yakima Avenue. I cannot think of a more appropriate use of one of Yakima's most historic and beautiful homes. This would allow many people to experience what it was like to live in such a grand estate right here in our city. We have traveled around much of the Great Lakes and many of the cities in this region have developed some of their finest homes into B&Bs. Their neighborhoods have thrived along with neighbors taking greater pride in their homes. This has also brought more tourism into their cities. With Yakima being the gateway to the wine country, this would be a fantastic way to bring more business into the city along with more recognition for our historic neighborhood. Holli has thoughtfully laid out their new driveway and parking area so no trees have to be removed while allowing the home to be more accessible. Their layout is very consistent with many, many others on Yakima Avenue. Their present driveway has been outdated since the discontinuation of the Model T. If they were to update the original driveway, the charm and authenticity of the property would be very much diminished and very noticeable as you drive up Yakima Avenue from 16th I have heard some concerns about the additional traffic and safety issues which in truth would be negligible. B&B patrons are not speeders and they would only be driving down 1 block of Yakima Avenue. They would not add to our Yakima Avenue morning "rush hour" since they would be having breakfast at 8:OOam. We look forward to Holli and Paul sharing their beautiful home with others. Sincerely, Mike & Cheryl Davison 1716 West Yakima Avenue cdmaxmd@aol.com DOC.

We have lived in our current home for 40+ years and have enjoyed the unique quality of this. single family neighborhood with park like yards and older varied architecture. Our objections to the proposed Bed and Breakfast are as follows: 1. Degradation of property values. 2. Degradation of our quality of life from noise, traffic and activity. 3. The proposed entrance/parking off of Yakima Ave,. which would abut our lot, and congest traffic, increase noise and be generally intrusive given our next door proximity. 4. The precedence that this would set and the eventual creep of commercial usage into such a unique and beautiful residential neighborhood. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

File Number UAZO Class (2) #22-08 Dear Mr. Cook, I am writing to express my concern over this bed & breakfast proposal. I am opposed to this project for a number of reasons not the least of which is the beginning of commercial creep in an R-1 neighborhood. I think the parking requirement is incompatible with the neighborhood and suggests a commercial look not a residential one. I am sure that monitoring this business will not be a priority and fear the morphing of it into a restaurant or other business. Even as proposed the bed and breakfast changes the hours and function of the neighborhood. I am struck by the contradiction on this use in the city's rules. Bed and breakfast is not a permitted use in an R-1 zone, but then is permitted as a home occupation. I think some house keeping on rules is in order before this request can be approved. My letter is to ask you to deny this request. Short of that please move it to a class 3 review. The neighborhood in the past has been united in opposition to any commercialization or change to its current status. I doubt that most of the neighborhood is aware of the implications of this proposal and would if given the opportunity to attend a public hearing turn out in force. Skip Semon 1818 W.

A bed and breakfast is not an outright permitted use, except as a home occupation. It does not seem compatible and should not be there as a home occupation.

Chestnut Avenue Yakima, WA 98902 RECEIVED JUN 1 9 2008 CITY OF YAKIMA PLANNING DIV I have lived at the above address for nearly 25 years and have always felt very fortunate that the timing was right when my late husband, John, and 1 bought the home — we had money from the sale of another home, this home just became available by the owners, and our attorney who would make the offer to the owners, was in town that weekend! Having lived in Yakima nearly my whole life, 1 would walk through different areas in Yakima and always, I thought if 1 could live anywhere in the city, I wanted to have a home in the Gilbert addition. Why? It wasn't only that the homes were beautiful, some stately, but the pride of ownership was apparent in nearly every home in the area. A woman 1 met recently said to me "When 1 came back to Yakima and drove up Yakima Avenue, nothing had changed!" And, that was the best thing anyone could say about an old established area! I know change is inevitable, but I'm hoping that'll be when some of us move or die, and the younger families who buy the homes, will preserve the neighborhoods from 16t Avenue to 32"d Avenue, between Tieton Drive and Summitview Avenue. So, for me, it's important to set an example of "pride of ownership", pride of neighborhood, and pride in our city's awareness of our unique area that they will protect. 1 ask you, Mr. Cook, to protect our neighborhood that has seen four different challenges: the Stone Church, Yakima Avenue multi -dwelling, Franklin Park (Yakima Valley Museum) and Rosedell (the first time) and I ask you to grant a hearing on this notice of application. Holli Radke's proposal is NOT compatible to the neighborhood — there's nothing about putting a parking lot in the front yard of Rosedell that would be a great cornerstone to the future historic district (and that's assuming everyone in the area wants a historic district). For the fifth time since living at 2109 W. Chestnut Avenue, I plead to the City of Yakima to deny the application for a Bed and Breakfast at 1811 W. Yakima Avenue. Please help defend the only one of its kind neighborhoods. Durella DeGrasse DOC. INDEX Mr. William R. Cook Director Department of Community and Economic Development 129 N.

The parking and driveway configuration will create yet another bottleneck on the Yakima Avenue hill west of 16th. No additional parking should be allowed, nor should additional traffic be allowed to enter or exit onto Yakima Avenue. Furthermore, I am opposed to a Bed and Breakfast if allowance will give another person precedent to come in with some other inappropriate business in our single family residence neighborhood. I sense that enough of the neighborhood is opposed to this application that a public hearing should be allowed if the project continues forward. Thank you. James Hutton 2102 W. Yakima Avenue 1 DOC.

Yakima Ave to a Bed and Breakfast, but I do oppose the proposed parking location. The proposed guest parking location, adjacent to Yakima Ave, creates a second entrance to the property on a sloped part of the street. This would add an additional traffic hazard, especial during the winter. It also takes away from the aesthetic quality of the front of the main structure. I would propose an alternative location for the guest parking, specifically between the existing home and the existing storage building on the property. By expanding the two current parking spaces to six and expanding the two driveways (to Yakima Ave and to Park Ave), it would be possible to better organize traffic in and out of the property without creating additional traffic problems. If the Yakima Avenue driveway was used as the entrance to the property and the Park Ave driveway was used as the exit to the property, I believe that traffic problems and accidents would be less likely. Also the location of parking in the back, between the properties would be similar to the parking design at A Touch of Europe, where the beauty of the property is maintained, while providing the necessary parking for the business.

I wonder if it was disclosed to the owners that previous attempts to bring a business to the property were met with great opposition; which eventually led to the sale (again) of the property. In other words, I hope their purchase was not predicated on getting approval for a B&B. Having said that, I don't know how disruptive a B&B would be, since there is one around the corner on 16th and was another in the residential area (Irish House). My major objection is the placement of the parking spaces right off Yakima Ave. I understand that this is more convenient for "guests", but it would not be attractive, unless some serious landscaping about the entrance was done. It just seems a shame to put the CEMENT right in front, when there is AU. THAT SPACE in back (north and west). Respectfully, LR Dana Dwinell, and Kenny A. Rose (owners) 1809 West Chestnut AVe.

III. Application. The main aspects of this application may be summarized as follows: (1) On May 12, 2008, the City of Yakima Department of Community & Economic Development received a Class (2) land use application from Holli Radke to operate a home occupation bed and breakfast: in an existing single-family dwelling at 1811 West Yakima Avenue. This residence which. is known as the Rosedell Manor was built sometime around 1906 by A. E. Larson who was a prominent local businessman. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places . since 1990. (2) The proposed home occupation bed and breakfast would be used as the primary residence of the applicant who would allow three of the four bedrooms to be used for overnight guests. Only overnight guests would be served breakfast. Guests would check in after 2:00 p.m. and check out by 11:00 a.m. Four parking spaces would be available for guests. IV. Notices.

Zoning and Land Uses. The subject property and all adjacent properties are in the Single -Family Residential (R-1) zoning district and are used for residential land uses. VIII. Testimony at the Public Hearing. Facts and arguments presented in the form of testimony at the open record public hearing that have a bearing on this decision may be summarized as follows in the order in which they were presented at the hearing: (1) Alice Klein: City Assistant Planner Alice Klein presented her staff report which concluded that the proposed home occupation bed and breakfast met all the zoning ordinance requirements and should be approved subject to five conditions. (2) Holli Radke: As the current owner of the A.E. Larson home also known as the Rosedell Manor, she and her husband would like to open a home occupation bed and breakfastthat would not change the zoning. There are several home occupations throughout : the_ Barge -Chestnut Association.: area. There:. are 23 on Yakima . Avenue, Park Avenue and Chestnut Avenue alone. Two properties that border their home have home occupation uses. Since there has previously been a bed and breakfast in the Holli Radke Home Occupation Bed and Breakfast 1811 West Yakima Avenue UAZO C1(2) #22-08; HE #3-08 , 4 DOC.

They hope to open in early spring, starting with 3 rooms. Rosedell is a large 23 -room home just under 10,000 square feet on an acre and a half. Andit is currently on the National Historic Register. According to information provided by the President of the Yakima Valley Visitors & Convention Bureau, bed andbreakfast customers are older and highly - educated with high income levels. Neither the house nor the driveway would have a commercial look. (3) Jenifer Wilde McMurtrie: She.is with:the_Yakima_Historical Preservation Commission and lives in the neighborhood. When she moved into the neighborhood, Rosedell was run down. It was being taggedand continually vandalized until the Radkes purchased the property. It is now historically preserved correctly with care and with love. We don't have large families anymore, so. the: next best option for a house of this size is a bed and.: breakfast. With:; the, neighborhood on the verge. of being the first historical neighborhood in Yakima, this would be a natural fit. Traditionally there have always been businesses in the neighborhood for the past .80 years. After doing a lot of research, she learned that everything from accountants, beauty salons, boarding houses, doctors offices and dental labs have been in that neighborhood for a long time. During the depression era, a lot of the owners of the homes took in boarders because of the economic conditions. Given the taxes in this day and age, there is also a financial necessity of doing that. It's a historical district with tourism as a bonus. The area already has the Gilbert house where there are weddings, receptions and plant sales. Rosedell is a jewel that needs to be shared. If it were going to be anything but a bed and breakfast, she would be opposed to it. But a bed and breakfast is a plus for the City of Yakima, for the tourism and for the historic district as well. So she supports the Radkes for the job that they have done because it has been a labor of love. (4) Freya Bur-gstaller: She lives at 1507 Belmont Avenue and sees this as a wonderful opportunity for this community to :open; up:Rosedell: Tourists, as well as people.:returning to their hometown, will appreciate:_ the: factthat this community shares one of its jewels and the opportunity tostay- at ',the beautiful place.

(5) Leslie Wahl: She lives at 2403 West Yakima Avenue and is a volunteer 1 with the Barge -Chestnut Neighborhood Association Historic Preservation Project. In August, the first phase designating a historic district will come before the City Council. Rosedell will be in a future phase of this historic district designation. Part of the wonderful benefit of working as a volunteer, on this project is to actually walk the streets of this neighborhood and to appreciate .the huge diversity and the interesting lives of the people that lived in the neighborhood. Certainly A.E. Larson is one of the most historic people to have lived in Yakima. He was a contributor to our community. He would love the Radkes for what they have done to his home. She went through Rosedell a few years ago when it was for sale and saw the disrepair it was in and the tremendous investment it would take to bring this house back. The Radkes have really done a wonderful task of giving this structure back to the community. It's a community asset. Typically buildings of this size and style are of no appeal to current single families as just purely residential. Having it converted to a bed and breakfast not only gives it back to the community, but also preserves it for a longer period of time. So she is totally in support of the bed and breakfast. She would not support other uses of this, but a bed and breakfast use is a very low impact use. She is concerned about the traffic on Yakima Avenue, as is the Barge -Chestnut Association, but certainly the number of cars that this bed and breakfast would bring onto this street is minor compared to the impact of the two churches across the street 1 that already exist and the traffic that currently travels through this neighborhood to get to the hospital. There is interest in working with the Radkes through the traffic committee to make sure that their patrons are safe as they access this business. She also speaks on behalf of the small business owners of Yakima in terms of supporting a young couple that wants to run a small business that is tied into the wonderful historic preservation efforts in downtown Yakima. It is a perfect fit. She supports the staff recommendation to approve the application. (6) Yvonne Wilbur: She is a member of the Yakima Historical Society and is with the Woman's Century Club which has owned the George Donald House since 1930. Rose Larson was one of the women. Since grants or other help to maintain old houses cannot be obtained, converting them to a bed and breakfast can save them. Because of the history of this house, it has to be saved. When people come, it can't just be wine:. It's got to be something else. 1 Holli Radke 6 1 Home Occupation Bed and Breakfast 1811 West Yakima Avenue UAZO C1(2) #22-08; HE #3-08 DOC. 1 INDEX 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 hitUtIVED AUG 1 4 2008 CITY OF YAKIMA PLANNING DIV. (7) William OHare: He is in favor of the bed and breakfast. This home was constructed in 1906 and placed on a historical register in 1990. The property had been neglected for a number of years before being purchased by the present owners. The grounds and_ buildings were an eye -sore to the neighborhood. The owners have worked full-time to restore this property. There has been a remarkable improvement in this historic landmark. The gutter, the roof, the _paint and the interior restoration of this structure utilize the best quality materials and . workmanship. Ninety percent of the restoration has been done by the owners. They areskilled, dedicated andtalented. They have spent literally thousand of hours and ,dollars on this project. The neighborhood . has already benefited by the regeneration of this property. Bed and breakfast customers are typically 45 -plus years :old with a household income .of more than $100,000 and a college education; not . a rough crowd. A bed .. and: breakfast would not disturb the quality of this neighborhood. The amount of traffic would be absolutely minimal. The bed and breakfast would enhance visitors' opinion of our area. What better opportunity do we have to show off a classy historic home in Yakima? The present owners are hard-working, dedicated, responsible individuals. They have taken over a restoration project that few others would even consider. As owners of a bed and breakfast it would be professionally -managed. This home needs to be shared with others. It has long been ignored by previous owners, citizens and the City of Yakima. Many cities turn historic homes like the Larson home into a museum to showcase their city's history. Yakima really does need to take pride in this classic home and help showcase it. It is an opportunity to take advantage of this treasure, without doubt one of the most historic homes in Yakima. What better way to promote Yakima than with a quality bed and breakfast? A bed and breakfast at Rosedell will not change the quality of anyone's life. It's a huge lot, more than an acre and a.quarter. It is really a jewel of this City and needs to be exposed to others. It needs to be shared._ (8) Jerry Ward: He has lived; in. Yakima since 1968 and is at the hearing on behalf of Daryl Parker, the only grandchild .of Rose and A.E. Larson. Daryl Parker lives in Monroe and was unable toattend because of health issues. Thiscommunity wouldbe hard pressed to find another philanthropist to equal what he has done for this community. His letter -in favor the bed -and breakfast which is a part of the record in this matters: was _ read. It indicated that: this important opportunity to revive the grandeur of this historical home cannot be. overlooked and that a bed and breakfast Holli Radke Home Occupation Bed and Breakfast 1811 West .Yakima Avenue.

This bed and breakfast would not adversely affect the surrounding neighbors and should be approved in order to further the life of these historical landmarks. (9) Paul Coffman: He is the director of History Alive Today, a Washington State non-profit with the charge of preservation of historical buildings, primarily residences. There can be a lot of speculation about the impact a bed and breakfast in the neighborhood would have over a long term. The best thing that could be done if there is any question about the impact of a bed and breakfast on a community is to look at the 3 top bed and breakfast communities in this nation. That would be Savanna, Georgia; St. Augustine, Florida; and Louisville, Kentucky. Not only do they encourage bed and breakfast uses, but they even financially support them. What you will fmd is a history of bed and breakfast uses and residential neighbors living together. You won't fmd a speculative outcome, but you will fmd the actual history of 20-30 years of working together. And you will fmd 30 years of economic improvement, neighborhood development and impact on the downtown business district because of the attention to the historic preservation of the surrounding neighborhoods. (10) Scott Irons: He resides at 102 Park Avenue next to the Radkes. He is a Yakima native and is on the Yakima Preservation Commission. He has watched the Radkes improve the property since they moved in. He runs a home business out of his house which is low impact to the neighborhood and thinks a bed and breakfast which is usually by appointment only is similarly low impact to the neighborhood. There is a 10,000 -square -foot house and a second house on the property with a large landscaped area that a lot of single families aren't willing to take on. So that puts it into a different category where someone may need to do a home business to help keep the property nicely maintained, and that is what he believes will happen. If they have continued success with their bed and breakfast, they will continue to maintain the home and do the repairs that have been needed to be done for decades. He supports their request. (11) Walt Ranta: He first read a letter which is in the record from Gary Forrest, a member of the Barge -Chestnut Neighborhood Association who has lived at 3011 Barge Street for the past 39 years. The letter was complimentary of the Radkes' efforts to restore Rosedell to its present condition. It noted the long list of home Holli Radke Home Occupation Bed and Breakfast 1811 West Yakima Avenue UAZO C1(2) #22-08; FIE #3-08 8 DOC. INDEX 4: _/s 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 RECEIVED AUG 1 4 2008 CITY OF YAKIMA MI.ANNINO DIV occupation requirements in the zoning ordinance to protect and maintain the residential character of the home and the neighborhood. It noted the Radkes' seeming flexibility regarding their parking design and the fact that 4 or 5 extra vehicles traveling Yakima Avenue is not a problem. The traffic taking a short cut to the hospital is a greater problem. The letter further noted that the neighborhood has-been open to home-based business under the zoning ordinance for a long time and the neighborhood has survived the last 75. years quite, well. The Polk City Directories indicate that in the 1930's and 1940's every other house it seemed- was a bed and breakfast, only they didn't call itthat back then. Some were called boarding houses. Others where just renting out the spare room to make ends meet. The letter stated that he is in favor of a bed and breakfast as a family -operated home business operated under present zoning regulations. If donewell, it could become a .great asset to the neighborhood and to the Radkes. If nothing more, the letter concluded, it would provide the incentive and means to continue with restoration of the home and grounds which certainly benefits the neighborhood. Mr. Ranta lives at 5 South 32"d Avenue and supports this proposal as long as it remains under the R-1 zoning. Anything that would cause this to change to an R-2, R-3, business or similar zone would bring him back up here having some serious discussions. As long as this remains R-1 under the current guidelines as presented and with strict guidelines being enforced, this is actually going to be a benefit. The work that has gone into this house has greatly improved the neighborhood. The run-down look of it actually detracted from the neighborhood as people came in. Rosedell is a gateway house into that neighborhood. Restoring it to its grandeur is very important. Mr. Ranta's views are also detailed in a letter which is in the record of this matter. A majority of the homes whose residents have expressed opposition to the proposed parking area have more parking in front of their homes than what is being requested at this home. One has black asphalt that will hold 6, 8 or possibly 10 vehicles and is much larger than what is being requested at this site. The plannedparking,,area meets,, the community standard' as to parking. There are many home-based .businesses in :this neighborhood: There have been other bed and breakfasts. Again, as long as they remain under that .R-1 guideline, these have actually allowed thepeople;in:those homes to maintain and improve .the integrity of their homes and the. neighborhood.. In his neighborhood alone on 32nd, there is a gentleman who rebuilt his house -to make it much more beautifuland to add an office for his contracting business. A family has been able to maintain their residence at the corner of 32nd and Chestnut by having a dance studio there. Down the street there has Holli Radke Home Occupation Bed and Breakfast 1811 West Yakima Avenue UAZO C1(2) #22-08; HE #3-08 9 DOC. INDEX # th_,6 RECEIVED AUG 1 4 2008 CITY OF YAKIMA 11 PLANNING DIV. been a beauty salon, there have been doctors' offices, bookkeepers and even someone 1 doing dental work out of her home. None of these have deteriorated or detracted from the neighborhood. They have actually allowed these people to maintain their homes and in many cases to improve the quality of their homes and the homes around them. As far as allowing other businesses, R-1 uses are already allowed under the codes, so the proposal is not going to open upthe area to other businesses that aren't already allowed. If something else tries to come in, people will again be trying to preserve the neighborhood. There are historic buildingsthathave been turned into a bed and breakfast in other cities such as Spokane; .Olympia and Seattle. In Spokane, the first mayor's house was turned into a restaurant. A house just a couple houses away from that was turned into a bed and breakfast. This allows people to come into that rather historic neighborhood, with a destination and reason to come there, and enjoy the neighborhood. The Larson house would do this as well. It would be a gateway into our historic neighborhood that an attempt is being made to preserve. What it boils down to is, fortunately or unfortunately depending on your position, current codes allow this. The parking and function are not out of line with what's already in the neighborhood. Under these very strict guidelines that are established by the City, he would support this. If it goes beyond that or if any future requests are made to change that, then his presence will be seen down here again. (12) Durella DeGrasse: She has lived at 2109 West Chestnut for the past 25 years and is opposed to the project. Under 15.04.090, Home Occupation Purpose, a business within a dwelling is allowed if certain conditions are met, one being maintaining and preserving the character of the residential neighborhood. Allowing commercialization of Rosedell does not maintain or preserve the character of this irreplaceable neighborhood or comply with the Home Occupation Purpose to promote the efficient use of public services and facilities by assuring that these services are provided to the residential population for which they were planned and constructed rather than commercial uses. Holli Radke's request for an application is not in the best interest of the community. It is being.. proposed because it could be a money- making commercial enterprise. Under. the 15.04.090 Home Occupation necessary condition that there are no external alterations to the building that changes the character from the dwelling, a :blacktop- parking lot in the front yard will suggest commercialism. This neighborhood has united in opposition in the past to any commercialization because theresidentsappreciate where they live.

This neighborhood is a truly unique area that needs to be protected from creeping commercialism. She met a woman in Franklin Park a few months ago who had recently moved back. to Yakima who indicated that she drove up Yakima Avenue and noted that nothing had changed, which is a perfect thing to be able to say about a beautiful old established area. (13) Doug Picatti: He lives at 2004 West Yakima Avenue. He first read notes written by Skip Semon who had to leave the hearing and who had submitted a letter which is in the record. Mr. Semon lives at .1818 West Yakima Avenue across the street from Rosedell and is opposed to the bed and breakfast. A 4 -car parking lot in the middle of the yard across the street from his home changes the character of the area and gives it a commercial look and feel. The bed and breakfast will be the start of commercial creep into this neighborhood. Due to the City's limited resources, monitoring supervision will be .a low priority for the ,City. The facility could morph into something even more commercial than a bed and breakfast. None of the existing home businesses in the neighborhood require parking lots or have overnight clientele. This bed and breakfast is not in the best interest of the community and would have a detrimental effect on the neighborhood. Mr. Semon's notes concluded with the fact that since he became a homeowner in this strictly residential neighborhood in 1985, he has opposed a number of proposals to change it and is again here asking that his neighborhood not be commercialized. Mr. Picatti appreciates the opportunity for a public hearing and realizes there are passionate people on all sides of the issue. He also appreciates the phenomenal job that Paul and Holli have done in improving the property and is grateful that they chose to move here from another community. They are spectacular neighbors and he hopes that they live here for many years. As the incoming chair of the Yakima Valley Visitors & Convention Bureau, he is aware that this community does in fact need good places to stay and certainly supports bed and breakfasts in general. The issues before us today are land use issues. His position is that the proposal is not an appropriate use in -this 'particular family neighborhood.

He knows from volunteering his time on the downtown committee that many consider 16th Avenue to be the dividing line between traditional family neighborhoods and commercial downtown businesses. Rosedell is a very unique property. It is the gateway to Yakima's historic family neighborhood., It is a very significant property not just for what it is, but also for what it represents. When you make a change to an asset such as Rosedell, it is very significant because it defines an area and a neighborhood. By changing the way that the home is used, it would ultimately change the whole community and the whole neighborhood. Over the nearly 15 years that he has lived in this wonderful neighborhood, he has been in this same room with neighbors passionate about this community when the use of this property has, come up repeatedly. There have been numerous attempts to turn it into somethingother than what it has historically been, which is a family -use residence. The precedent has been set because such attempts have been repeatedly defeated. Although we are blessed to have local people who would occupy and run the bed and breakfast, the concern is what would happen to the property if they should choose at some point to leave the community? This request should be denied because it is not a consistent use with the neighborhood, the flavor of the neighborhood, and this community treasure should be preserved for all the neighborhood citizens and the citizens of Yakima today and for years to come.

It means a lot to her to walk down that street on Gilbert Drive and see all of those homes looking exactly the same. Although they are restoring this one home, all theother peoplethat live in this neighborhood are invested there, not as a piece of real estate, but as a place that is home. The neighborhood has.an impact on people from outside the community. She is against the commercialization of this property because •hopefully, for many generations, the integrity of these homes will be respected, as well as the people who are invested fmancially in preserving, these homes. It is interesting that someone could move into this residential community and exploit its beauty. Although it is nice for people who come from outside the _community to see the beauty, what about her parents' privacy and desire to preserve the property as residential, and not allow a bed and breakfast in this neighborhood? (15) Darlene Picatti: She echoes her husband's comments and wishes to add that this is all about commercialization and opening the door, even though everyone says the door isn't open and they would all come back and fight. It would be much more difficult the next time this happens. And there will be a next time because in the 15 years that she has lived there she has been in this hearing room 4 times for the same exact thing. The Radkes are a lovely couple who have done a beautiful job with the property and are commended for that. The property has been in disrepair due to absentee ownership and foreclosure. It was not run down until 4-5 years ago. Attempts were made to exploit it for a commercial purpose, but it ended up in a foreclosure situation. The bank was able to sell it at a great loss to get rid of it. It needed a ton of repair. They are commended for taking it on, but Rosedell is the gateway to this community which starts as you come up Yakima Avenue. If all of a sudden it is assumed that it is more commercial now because it is a bed and breakfast, what's tostop the next guy from doing the same thing. It is a lot :easier for that to be allowedagain after it is allowed once. Although she doesn't mind home occupations, most of this house, rather than a small part of it, would be for commercial use.

(16) Sue Fenich: She and her husband have lived at 1901 West Yakima Avenue for nearly 20 years. She wrote a letter which is included in the record. Her home was built in 1907. Like the Radkes, she and her husband truly appreciate the love and care that went into building these magnificent homes. But unlike the Radkes, they want to be family caretakers to keep the home in the way that it was originally intended. They have spent thousands of dollars maintaining and improving their home. The Radkes are not alone in that endeavor. However, there are numerous homeowners in the neighborhood who are getting on in years, who in the next 20 years will no longer be in the neighborhood. If a bed and breakfast is allowed at the gateway to this historical neighborhood, the residents will not be able to keep the continuation or the creep of commercial uses from inundating their neighborhood and those beautiful historic homes. It concerns her that Holli commented at a neighborhood meeting some 6 weeks ago that she doesn't know if she is even going to like having a bed and breakfast since she doesn't like to cook and clean. As a real estate agent from Nevada, perhaps she saw this home that she could buy at a fire -sale price as a money -making opportunity to be improved and converted into a bed and breakfast to be sold at a profit. That is not what this neighborhood is about. The neighborhood is about community and preservation of the last beautiful historical neighborhood in Yakima County. The wishes of those of us who have lived there 20 - plus years and have invested much money, time and effort into maintaining the integrity of their neighborhood should be considered. (17) James Carmody; He as a land use attorney for the past 25 years has been asked to speak of this unique neighborhood on behalf of each of those who have just spoken previously in opposition to this application. This is a unique neighborhood in the context of land use. Over the course of time it has stood up to the creeping commercialization andfought to preserve what . is there today. That effort from that community has worked to preserve whatis there today. That is why the community is what it is today.

But every one of the other homes on this street deserves the same dignity, and that is what each of the people who have spoken today have done. They have invested and they have fought to protect the integrity of that neighborhood. Reflecting back on the. land use history of the church use across the street and an application to divide the property up and make it multifamily uses, questions came up as to whether the project was good and whether the person was to be trusted to really carry through. The correct answer is that you have to look at any usage in any application in the context of the land use itself. What does your zoning ordinance provide? You have to divorce: yourself from the people. Even though everyone appreciates what the Radkes are doing with this home for the community, that doesn't justify an end that is not supported by the zoning ordinance or the rules. The rules are there to give protection, direction and focus with respect to what can take place on a piece of land. You have to divorce yourself from personalities and all of that. If that were not the case, then we would have an arbitrary standard. Rationalization to the effect that this use is ok because there are other home occupations in this area is a concern and is why this proposal is an issue. It has nothing to do with preservation. It has to do with a question of whether it is appropriate to commercialize this venture. Is it appropriate to convert it from a residential usage, which is its primary and intended purpose, to a commercial venture? And that is the question to be asked and the zoning ordinance really gives pretty precise guidelines as to when and how that can occur. Table 4-1 sets forth the first fundamental premise that a bed and breakfast is not a permitted use in a single-family residential zone. The next question is whether the exception allowed for a home occupation changes that rule. The ordinance is real clear in terms of what is required for a home occupation. In a very fundamental sense, it is basically a residence which has that as its primary purpose. The zoning ordinance sets up 12 conditions that have to all be met in order for this to be approved and it is his judgment that those conditions are not 'met in this instance.

The house will continue to be preserved for future generations and the grounds will be maintained. The Larson house just may be the cornerstone of Yakima's Historic District and in the past 20 years it's proven to be too much for the average homeowner to take on. Even though he and Holli have a strong background in construction and renovation, it was a huge challenge for them to take on. Using their knowledge and abilities, they have restored Rosedell back to its original . stature by spending thousands of hours and dollars in doing so. The best thing for the house would be to have a low impact business such as a bed and breakfast in it to ensure that it is maintained and preserved for future generations. The proposed bed and breakfast is not classified as a commercial business, nor is a zoningchange to run a commercial business being requested. They have applied for a home occupation permit which allows a homeowner to run a business from the home. They did the research in the neighborhood and in quickly surveying only Yakima Avenue, Park Avenue and Chestnut Avenue, they found 23 houses that have home occupation permits. Previous requests that would require the zoning to be changed to hold weddings . and receptions or to turn the home into a gentleman's club would have had a high impact on the neighborhood. Typically bed and breakfasts are known for a low impact and quiet environment. Although some are opposed to having a driveway in the front of the house, there are many other houses on Yakima Avenue with driveways in front, some that are even bigger than the one that is proposed. They should not be treated different from their neighbors. The purpose of the driveway is to allow use of the front door to avoid the narrow driveway, steep incline and 15 steps to the rear door. Just a few doors down is the Gilbert House which has a lot larger driveway and hosts large events such as weddings and receptions. The driveway in the front of the home would make the property more functional and safe. Regarding testimony about the neighbors being united againstputting any kind of commercial -development into this house, only 16- 20 residents of the 1,100 or, so houses comprising the Barge -Chestnut community oppose the proposal. People stop by all the time indicating what a great idea it is to turn the house into: a bed and breakfast and complimenting them for fixing it up. When they asked their neighbors who border their property what they thought about a bed and breakfast, 5 out of the 6 thought it was a great idea.

A bed and breakfast at Rosedell would have nothing but positive effects on the community and Rosedell itself. It is very important that Rosedell be protected from the effects of time. It is 100 years old and hopefully will be here for another 100 years. The money that is acquired by the bed and breakfast will go toward maintaining the house and the grounds. They will be lucky to break even and maybe just make a little. They meet all the legal requirements to have a home occupation permit, and the City staff has recommended approval of the application.

The application seeks the Hearing Examiner's approval of a Class (2) home occupation bed and breakfast use. The Class (2) use review criteria are the same as the Class (3) use review criteria, the difference being that the zoning ordinance indicates that Class (2) uses have a presumption in favor of their compatibility and are generally permitted while Class (3) uses have a presumption against their compatibility and are not generally permitted.

(1) Compliance and Compatibility with the Intent and Character of the Single -Family Residential (R-1) Zoning District. Table 4-2 of the UAZO specifically allows a home occupation bed and breakfast use as a Class (2) use that is presumed to be compatible in the R-1 zoning district if it complies with enumerated conditions specified in the zoning ordinance. The question of compliance with those zoning ordinance conditions is at the heart of the disagreement as to this proposal. Each condition must be addressed in order to decide this matter. The respective arguments and the Examiner's analysis of them are as follows: (i) Subsection 15.04.090(C)(1) of the UAZO: This provision allows a home occupation bed and breakfast in the R-1 zoning district only if "The home occupation is conducted inside a structure within property on which is established the primary residence of the practitioner(s)." The Memorandum of James Carmody submitted on behalf of those opposed to the proposal argues that a parking area in front of the facility is an external manifestation of the home occupation which violates this section. The Memorandum of Philip Lamb on behalf of the Radkes counters that the Radkes ,have lived in the home on the property as their primary residence since their purchase of the property in 2005. The homeoccupation bed and breakfast under consideration is defined by Section 15.02.020 of the UAZO as follows: "Bed and Breakfast means a residential structure providing individuals with lodging and meals for not more than 30 days. For Home Occupations, such uses are limited to having not more than five lodging units or guest rooms." Since the activity and purpose of this home occupation land use is defined by the UAZO as.. the provision of lodging and meals to. guests rather than the .parking or storage of •vehicles, the proposed home occupation as.defined in the zoning ordinance would: be conducted entirely within the structureregardless of where the guests park their cars: The intent of this condition is to, require that the lodging and meals be provided :inside a structure on the property where the : primary residence of those. providing the lodgingand meals is located. The .proposal would comply with that condition:. Holli Radke Home Occupation Bed and Breakfast 1811 West -Yakima Avenue UAZO C1(2) #22-08; HE #3-08 19 DOC. INDEX # —/� RECEIVED AUG 1 4 2008 CITY OF YAKIMH PLANNING DIV. (ii) Subsection 15.04.090(C)(2) of the UAZO: This provision allows a home occupation bed and breakfast in the R-1 zoning district only if "The home occupation is incidental and subordinate to the residential functions of the property" and states that "No action related to the home occupation shall be permitted that impairs reasonable residential use of the dwelling." The Memorandum of James Carmody in this regard argues that the home occupation is not incidental and subordinate to the residential functions of the property because three of the four bedrooms will be rented for overnight stay and the common areas will be used by guests so as to utilize 75% of the dwelling for commercial purposes. Another written comment similarly argues that this condition cannot be satisfied because nearly 60% of the floor area of the dwelling will be available for use by guests of the bed and breakfast. The Memorandum of Philip Lamb on behalf of the Radkes counters that prior occupants, as residents, have included up to ten family members with seven vehicles and that compliance with the ordinance definition as to the specific maximum number of home occupation guest rooms allowed is what the City Council intended to require to ensure compatibility. As previously noted, Section 15.02.020 of the UAZO specifies how many guest rooms can be included within a home occupation bed and breakfast without violating the conditions for such a use: Bed and Breakfast ... For Home Occupations, such uses are limited to having not more than five lodging units or guest rooms." First, there would be no purpose in limiting the number of guest rooms in a home occupation bed and breakfast to five if the limitation is in fact to be less than half the number of bedrooms or interior square footage used by the permanent residents of the home. Secondly, neither of those measures of subordinate or incidental uses are applicable in a bed and breakfast situation because, unlike other home occupations, the provision of lodging and meals to guests in a residence by residents of a single- family residence are themselves "residential functions" being conducted on the property that do not impair reasonable residentialuse of the property within the intended meaning of this home occupation requirement. Home occupations such as physicians or dentists offices, small engine or appliance repair shops, dog grooming services, carpentry or the like would clearly involve a discernible difference between the primary residential use and the accessory nonresidential use of the property. But with a home occupation bed and breakfast, the types of residential functions involving the permanent residents and the guests would be similar, the main difference being the Holli Radke Home Occupation Bed and Breakfast 1811 West Yakima Avenue UAZO C1(2) #22-08; HE #3-08 20 DOC.

Both the permanent residents and the guests pay for the lodging and the meals being provided in the residence by its residents, just in different ways to different people. The fact that guests pay for the lodging and meals does not change the land use characterization of the activities being conducted on the property as "residential functions." If there is any question as to the intended meaning of this home occupation condition, it must be construed in favor of the applicant. Sleasman v. City of Lacey, 159 Wn.2d639, 643, 151 P.3d 990 (2007), citing Morin v. Johnson, 49 Wn.2d 275, 279, 300 P.2d 569 (1956). (iii) Subsection 15.04.090(C)(3) of the UAZO: This provision allows a home occupation bed and breakfast in the R-1 zoning district only if "There are no external alterations to the building which changes its character from a dwelling" and requires that "That portion of the structure or facilities in which a home occupation is to be sited must be so designed that it may be readily converted to serve, residential use of the dwelling." The Memorandum of Mr. Carmody, as well as others in opposition to the proposal, argue that the existence of a commercial parking lot on the front of the property, conceivably with striping, is an external alteration to the building which changes its character from a dwelling. The Memorandum of Mr. Lamb counters that the owner of the residence would be able to put a large driveway, parking area and multi -car garage nearly anyplace on the property subject perhaps only to the 45% lot coverage limitation, and that many property owners in the area have done so due to the lack of on -street parking in that portion of West Yakima Avenue. He also argues that adding four parking spaces for the bed and breakfast guests, which is 1.1 spaces for each guest room per Table 6-1 of the UAZO, is not a commercial parking lot. Section 15.02.020 provides: "Parking Lot means a facility designed to serve parking for five (5) or more motor vehicles." In addition to the reasons advanced by Mr. Lamb; the -plain wording of this condition applies to "alterations to the building" which "changesits characterfrom a dwelling." A new parking area does not alter the building or change it from a dwelling. An ordinance is to be interpreted according to theplain. and ordinary meaning of the language used. Sadona v.

(iv) Subsection 15.04.090(C)(4) of the UAZO: This provision allows a home occupation bed and breakfast in the R-1 zoning district only if "The business is conducted in a manner that will not alter the normal residential character of the premises by the use of color, materials, lighting and signs, or the emission of noise, vibration, dust, glare, heat, smoke, or odors." The Memorandum from Mr. Carmody and others in opposition to the proposal argue that the proposed commercial parking lot will change the normal residential character of the premises and will increase noise and activity levels. The Memorandum of Mr. Lamb counters that there will be the small sign permitted by the ordinance, but no alteration of the normal residential character of the premises. The proposal will satisfy this condition because, as previously noted, a home occupation bed and breakfast involves "residential functions" related to lodging and meals for the permanent residents and, as to the guests, temporary residents of a single-family residence. These residential activities will not "alter the normal residential character of the premises." Likewise, since normal single-family residences can have larger parking areas and more vehicular traffic than here proposed or expected, those features of this proposal would not "alter the normal residential character of the property." (v) Subsection 15.04.090(C)(5) of the UAZO: This provision allows a home occupation bed and breakfast in the R-1 zoning district only if "The home occupation does not generate materially greater traffic volumes than would normally. be expected in a residential neighborhood." The Memorandum of Mr. Carmody argues that the 1997 ITE Trip Generation publication specifies 9.57 average vehicle trip ends on a weekday for single-family detached housing and 8.92 such trips for each occupied overnight room, which is characterized as a four -fold increase. The Memorandum of Mr. Lamb points out that that a Yoga instructor home occupation at 101 Park Avenue immediately adjacent to the Radke property could involve hourly sessions with up to 5 students that would generate far greater traffic volumes than the proposal. The same .would be true of doctors and dentists seeing up to 3 patients per:hour and home instruction of 6-8 students which are Class (2) home occupation uses in the R-1 zoning- district: Mr. Lamb's Memorandum includes a copy of a 2005 Seattle SEPA Threshold Determination for amendments: to bed 'and breakfast requirements which indicates- that .the :ITE does not publish 'a vehicle trip generation rate for bed and breakfast uses,only for hotels and motels, and::that 4 daily vehicle trips per room or 12 .. such trips for all three rooms would be generated.

Mr. Lamb argues that larger homes. with larger families, including teenagers, often exceed the average and that, by way of illustration, Radkes' parcel could be divided into 7 single-family lots of 7,000 square feet each or, with Class (2) use approval, could be developed with duplexes, zero lot line dwellings or up to . 7 multi -family dwellings, all of which would certainly generate greater traffic volumes than will be generated by the proposed home occupation bed -and breakfast. In any event, the test for this condition is not a comparison with the average trip generation of an average home. The condition rather requires "materially greater traffic volumes" than would "normally be expected in aresidential neighborhood." Rosedell is not an average home in an average residential. neighborhood. The evidence did not establish what traffic volumes wouldnormally be expected in this or some other residential neighborhood. That wouldcertainly depend on the -size ..and .density of the residences in the neighborhood. But :the::traffic volumes expected from the proposed home occupation bed and breakfast were not even great enough for the City to require traffic concurrency review under the City's Transportation Capacity Management Ordinance. In terms of this particular home occupation condition, the weight of the evidence was to the effect that the volume of additional traffic expected from the proposal will not be "materially greater" than current levels in the neighborhood. (vi) Subsection 15.04.090(C)(6) of the UAZO: This provision allows a home occupation bed and breakfast in the R-1 zoning district only if "There is no outside storage or display of any kind related to the home occupation." There is no evidence in the record suggesting that the applicant cannot or will not comply with this requirement.

AUG 1 4 2008 CITY ANNING DIVA (ix) Subsection 15.04.090(C)(9) of the UAZO: This provision allows a home occupation bed and breakfast in the R-1 zoning district only if "The home occupation does not increase water or sewer use so that the combined total use for the dwelling and home ,occupation is significantly morethan the average for residences in the neighborhood." In this regard, the Memorandum of Mr. Carmody argues that 3 bedrooms which each have a bathroom will cause significantly more water and sewer usage than .the average usage for residences in the neighborhood without providing specific evidence of the average water and sewer usage in the neighborhood to support that claim. One of those opposed.. to the proposal argued that the average household size in Yakima in 2000 was 2.63 people and that even 50% occupancy of the three guest rooms in the proposal would double the usage. The Memorandum of Mr. Lamb points out that a 4 -bedroom house could have teenagers that could use as much water and, sewer as bed and breakfast guests. More than one infant or child might sleep in a single bedroom depending upon the size of the family and age of the children residing in a 4 -bedroom home. In any event, the evidence did not establish that the water and sewer usage of this residence with 3 of the bedrooms being used for guest rooms rather than for family members would be "significantly, more" than the average water and sewer usage for the residences in this particular neighborhood. (x) Subsection 15.04.090(C)(10) of the UAZO: This provision allows a home occupation bed and breakfast in the R-1 zoning district only if "A business license is purchased where required." Likewise, there is no evidence in the record suggesting that the applicant cannot or will not comply with this requirement. (xi) Subsection 15.04.090(C)(11) of the UAZO: This provision allows a home occupation bed and breakfast in the R-1 zoning district only if "The home occupation is conducted only by immediate family members residing in the dwelling." This is the main feature that distinguishes a home occupation bed and breakfast that is allowed in the R-1 zoning .district in Table 4-2 of the UAZO from a commercial bed and breakfast inn which is not by definition limited as to the number of guest rooms andis not permittedin the R-1 zoning., district .under Table 4-1 of the UAZO. The proposed home occupation bed and breakfast here will only be conducted by immediate family members residingin the dwelling. (xii) Subsection _15.04.090(C)(12) of the UAZO: This provision allows a home occupation bed and breakfast in the R-1 zoning district only if "All stock in Holli Radke Home Occupation Bed and Breakfast. 1811 West Yakima Avenue UAZO C1(2) #22-08; HE #3-08 24 DOC.

There is no evidence in the record suggesting that the applicant cannot or will not comply with this requirement. (xiii) Subsection 15.03.030(2) of the UAZO: This zoning provision states that the intent of the . R-1 zoning district is to establish and preserve residential. neighborhoods for detached single-family dwellings free from other uses except those which are compatible with, and serve the residents of, this district. As previously discussed, the applicant's detached single-family dwelling would continue to be a detached single-family dwelling even though used, in part to . provide residential functions of lodging and meals for home occupation bed and breakfast guests. The compatibility concerns arise here because there are many beautiful and elegant homes in the Barge -Chestnut neighborhood and there clearly is a strong desire on the part of their owners to see that they retain -their beauty and value. Some of those opposed to the proposal have argued that it will be a commercial rather than a residential use. Some have expressed a concern that the proposal will trigger a flow of creeping commercialism into the neighborhood, primarily because of the commercial appearance of the proposed parking area in front of the house. Because of these concerns, the Examiner allowed additional time for written comments regarding several issues, including the parking area concern. In response to this specific concern, the Memorandum of Mr. Lamb includes a new site plan dated July 28, 2008 that relocates the guest parking area to the north of the Rosedell Manor between the existing parking area for the residents and the carriage house and indicates that guests will utilize the existing driveway. This revision of the parking area site plan by the Radkes has made the Examiner's decision easier, and it will be adopted and required as one of the conditions of this decision to promote compatibility with the neighborhood. (xiv) Conclusion: The City Council indicated in Subsection 15.04.090(A) of the UAZO that that Section, .notably the 12 conditions in Subsection (C) thereof, is intended to insure the compatibility of a home occupation with other uses permitted in the residential districts, to maintainand preserve the character of residential neighborhoods, and to promote the: -efficient uses of public services and facilities by assuring._ that:: they are available -to the residential population. Since those conditions required of all home occupations can and willbe required of this proposal and since the parking area for guests .of this home occupation bed and breakfast will .be accessed Holli Radke Home Occupation Bed and Breakfast - 1811 West Yakima Avenue UAZO C1(2) #22-08; HE #3-08 25 DOC. INDEX # �'� RECEIVED AUG 1 4 2008 CITY OF YAKIMA PLANNING DIV. by the existing driveway and located north of the Rosedell Manor between the existing parking area and the carriage house, the proposal will in fact under the circumstances and under the weight of the evidence be compliant and compatible with the intent and. character of the R-1 zoning district. (2) Compliance with the Provisions and Standards Established in the Zoning Ordinance. Applicable zoning ordinance provisions and development standards include: (i) Development Services Team. The following standards were noted as a result of the Development Services Team meeting held for this proposal on May 28, 2008: (a) Code Administration: The State exempts residences from being required to remodel for accessibility, but it is recommended that the applicant install battery-operated smoke detectors in each bedroom and in the hallway leading to the sleeping area. (b) Engineering: This proposal is not subject to Title 12, Development Standards. (c) Traffic Engineering: Engineering has no traffic -related comments on the proposed home occupation. (ii) Other Development Standards. The proposal will be required to comply with the following development standards in the UAZO: (a) Home Occupation Conditions: The proposal will be required to comply with the home occupation conditions prescribed in Subsection 15.04.090(C) of the UAZO described in detail above. (b) Nameplate: If a nameplate will be used, it will be required to comply with the content, location and size conditions prescribed in Subsection 15.04.090(D) of the UAZO. (c) Off -Street Parking: Off-street parking will be required to be located north of the residence as shown in the site plan submitted by the applicant dated July 28, 2008 and shall comply with the requirements of Chapter 15.06 of the UAZO.

(3) Compliance and Compatibility with the Objectives and Development Criteria of the Comprehensive Plan. The Future Land Use Map (map I11-3) of the 1997 Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as suitable for low-density residential development. The Comprehensive Plan objectives and development criteria for this designation generally encourage the preservation of existing residential neighborhoods by protecting them from the adverse impacts of incompatible uses. For example, Comprehensive Plan Objective G2 is to balance individual property rights with the planning and regulatory scheme established for managing growth. Policy G2.2 which is related to that objective states that existing neighborhoods should be protected from excessive commercial encroachments through the establishment of defmite neighborhood boundaries and implementation of zoning standards which minimize the impact on adjacent properties. Compliance and compatibility with the Comprehensive Plan objectives here will be appropriately and adequately addressed through the home occupation conditions, by locating the parking area for the guests in a location between Rosedell Manor and the carriage house, and by using the existing driveway as shown on the applicant's revised parking area site plan dated July 28, 2008. XII. Consistency of the Proposed Use with Development Regulations and the Comprehensive Plan under the Criteria. Required by Subsection 16.06.020(13) of the Yakima Municipal .Coadeis determined by consideration of the following factors: (1) The types of land uses permitted at the site include the proposed home Holli Radke Home Occupation Bed and Breakfast 1811 West Yakima Avenue UAZO C1(2) #22-08; HE #3-08 27 DOC.

(2). The level of development such as units per acre, density of residential development or other measures of density of the proposed home occupation bed and breakfast is consistent with the density limitation in the R-1 zoning district since the home occupation will be conducted within an existing single-family dwelling. (3) The availability and adequacy of infrastructure and public facilities exist for the proposed home occupation because adequate infrastructure and public facilities are available for the single-family dwelling where the home occupation will be conducted. (4) The character of the development will be consistent with the— development standards of the R-1 zoning district as discussed in detail above. CONCLUSIONS Based upon the foregoing Findings, the Examiner reaches the following Conclusions: (1) The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction to approve Class (2) use applications under the circumstances prescribed by the zoning ordinance. (2) Public notice requirements have been completed as required. (3) The proposal is exempt from review under the State Environmental Policy Act and under .the Transportation Capacity Management Ordinance. (4) All of the requirements listed in the zoning ordinance for approving the requested Class (2) use have been satisfied by a . preponderance of the evidence presented at the public hearing regarding. said: Class (2) use. (5) This decision may be appealed to the Yakima City Council within the timeframe and in the manner prescribed by applicable City ordinance provisions.

Little) 2002 Simpson Lane, Yakima, WA 98901-3908; (509) 453-2815 e-mail: clittle(a),bentonrea.com DATE: July 29, 2008 to Alice Klein, Assistant Planner for Hearing Examiner as proposed for those special areas. Page 1 ROSEDELL PHOTOS July 28, 2008 Noon I This the first of 18 photos I took in the 1800 block of West Yakima Avenue to show j ! the driveways and parking at the homes in this block. I was fortunate that the gate was open into Rosedell so I could pull in there. W. Yakima Avenue is a two lane street and Ithere is no parking available along this street which passes in front of the Rosedell 1 acreage. This was at the noon hour and although the sun was very warm, the many shade I trees and green lawn is evident in many of the pictures made the area as lovely as a city i park. Page 2. ROSEDELL PHOTOS July 28, 2008 Noon This photo is a view of the beautifully landscaped lawn from the east porch, looking toward Park Avenue. The video of Rosedell, which was gifted to the hearing examiner, has a similar view. The last time I spent with Randy Butler, who completely refinished the mansion before he sold it to Mrs. Newton, we stood on the porch and Randy batted a tennis ball forhis dog to fetch, saying that was the way he exercised the dog. The dog came running back with the ball, then he batted it again. I always thought this parklike area would be a great place for a family reunion of the John and Margaret Larson family. There were eight children when at age 22, A.E left home to seek his fortune in the west. After he left, his mother had two more children. The mansion could have accommodated them all, if the younger children slept in the attic. From one of the nieces of Rose, I was told that A.E. enjoyed having family parties at Christmas with the family talent for entertainment. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Page 3 ROSEDELL PHOTOS July 28, 2008 Noon Photo of the bright yellow sign that notifies the public passing by that this area is going through a Class (3) Review It is near the street and points out where questions can be directed. Page 4 ROSEDELL PHOTOS July 28, 2008 Noon Thisphoto is of the front porch, facing south, with ladders on the west side where painting of the mansion is under way. The paint is white with black trim which looks very clean with the lovely grey of the rock. The driveway is not visible further east it is narrow from the days that A.E. had a fellow at the carriage house below the mansion bring his horse and buggy. There was a hay mow in the carriage to store equipment and building supplies duringof t house which was used A.E. bought an automobile, it took the place the� horse buggy Vision. When He set. his brother, Arthur, up in the automobile business. Arthurg and � wifecarriage , had. identical twin sons, born April 2, 1915, who apparently were the delight of A.E. and Rose Parker Larson. Many pictures in this writer's collection were taken on the west side of the mansion by a tree that must have been special. As the boys grew, so did the tree. 1 Page 5 ROSEDELLPHOTOS July 28, 2008 Noon Almost hidden by trees and shrubs on W. Yakima which may have been a driveway, north frome A Avenue. 1This longdriveways a fence that is is hedged from Rosedell but if one looks closely, one can see the carriage house. One can also see a gate at the far end that does not seem to be in use. It certainly seems that the two places are very private the way it is constructed. Page 6 ROSEDELL PHOTOS July 28, 2008 Noon Another view of the mansion property with its parklike area, well landscaped to be very private. The elegant metal fence surrounding the property, shows W. Yakima Avenue through the openwork fence design. This wasadded by one.of the previous owners after Mrs. Newton turned the property back when the neighbors overturned her .plan .to have retreats there. A speaker testifying against a B&B remarked that four attempts have been made to keep later owners from having:a business at the mansion that would decrease the value of their property. It would seem to this writer, that having a beautiful mansion over 100 years old open to vandalism by people and weather conditions is not justified. A.E. and Rose Parker Larson with their son, Shirley Parker, and their grandson, Daryl Parker, have given our community so many gifts, it seems we should help one owner to be like other neighbors and have a small family business to help with upkeep of a huge home. In addition, A.E.'s will was a gift of Rosedell for a museum and art gallery. It was turned down by the officials (Mayor, Finance and Public Works commissioners) and then when the new city hall was built in 1950, the later officials permitted a group of pioneers to have a two room museum in the basment of the city hall. This writer manned the Yakima Police Department complaint desk and gave the key to the museum folks when they used their museum!

You can see that when Randy Butler owned the place and had to remove many old, unsafe treesd. At one I, that many saved are veryof e it was recalled by some that A.E. had a tree from every State of the Union. There weretialso several ponds which attracted ducks and birds of all' kinds. No. 8 ROSEDELL PHOTOS July 28, 2008 Noon This photo is a slightly different view of No. 7 with the breadth of an old tree and a bit of the extensive ladder system erected to paint Rosedell. There is room for a driveway from Park Avenue which is still in place and useful. Notice the shade from the building in the rear and the old trees. 0 A*� IN ® 11111 ® M MN II.11 E MN ® ® = INN ® ® I ® ® EN No. 9 ROSEDELL PHOTOS ' July 28, 2008 Noon This is a view of the front of Rosedell looking toward .the east. In the far east you can see this writer's car, a Ford Focus, in the driveway. On the right, looking south, you can see the elegant metal fence. The driveway where the car is parked is narrow and slopes off toward the east. This driveway continues on past the many steps to the second floor area. The basement is considered the first level. The third level is the bedrooms with three considered for guests coming for a bed and breakfast. The fourth floor is the attic and used for storage by the Butlers. There are many closets and built-ins throughout the mansion. No. 10 ROSEDELL PHOTOS July 28, 2008 Noon From this photo to No. 18, we will see the big entrances for driveways needed for the bigger cars of the populace. The front yards were parking areas because W. Yakima Avenue was only a two lane street. Note the use of rock in landscaping. Many of the housefronts are not visible from the street because of trees planted along the street. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 CZ* 1 NNE 111111 IMO 111111 EMI MN SRI ME ME MI - NMI MI5 ME MI IMMI INE No. 11 ROSEDELL PHOTOSY Jul 28, 2008 Noon This is an example of a home site where there is a ' Equally large paved area for �� entry for vehicles and an Equnuy is guest and home owner parking because W. ouse from view for this twolcane beef: The trees along the side walk shield thea No. 12 ROSEDELL PHOTO July 28, 2008 Noon Again, note the use of concrete for the The driveway into this house must be�� and the use of landscaping rock. very likely 19th Avenue.The architectufurther his b o k iss very different street, whim is that of the Rosedell era of the early 1900's.

No parking is allowed on W. Yakima Avenue so visitors and family apparently have to.make do with Concrete instead of a front lawn. Compare this Page,4 and Page 9. Lawns are Cooling and concrete is hot without shade. Page 14 ROSEDELL PHOTOS July 28, 2008 Noon. Like No. 13, this is a view of the driveway, continuing in to the house in the same block as Rosedell. It shows the house, driveway and parking lot for the house because home owner and family with guests would have no place to park on a two lane street. At Rosedell, a three space parking area with a turnaround (could be used as 4th parking space) would provide easy access to handicapped visitors on a level area with access to the front door. Eli INN Nal MI MEI MINI MON Ili MEI MB MIN Mill MN NEM 1111111 INN EMI MEI ME Page No. 15 ROSEDELL PHOTOS July 28, 2008 Noon This photo and No. 16 are taken from about the same area to show the nice _ landscaping for an attractive driveway looking south. The rocks and shrubs take our eye, rather than the cracked two lane street at this place. Page No. 16 ROSEDELL PHOTOS July 28, 2008 Noon Like No. 15, above, this a view showing another house more clearly in the background. There are steps shown so the driveway probably belongs to the owner of the house with steps. The two lane street is much less attractive than the driveway. DOC. INDEX # -,po Page 17 ROSEDELL PHOTOS July 28, 2008 Noon No. 17 and No . 18 are taken swiftly, one after the other, because of a passing vehicle. This imposing house faces on W. Yakima Avenue but the driveway is on the side avenue. This is alsoan outstanding home that compares in interest to the observer as does the Rosedell mansion. Page 18 ROSEDELL PHOTOS July 28, 2008 Noon This home is more open to observation than the mansion called Rosedell but both catch the eye of the passersby. For all we know, the home owner may have a one lady or man beauty shop in the -basement to augment the family income to help finance college students.. Orit might house an author or an artist who needs more income to pay for taxes than a book or picture brings in. This series of 18 pictures taken in the 1800 block of West Yakima Avenue shows that driveways and parking areas are needed because the Avenue is a two lane street but the earlier built Rosedell mansion did not require the same type of driveway and parking area in the horse and buggy and Model T Ford era. A slight adjustment should be made now for this mansion to have a small parking lot west of the house for the use of handicapped family or guests arriving in wheel chairs or with walkers. 1 1 1 1 1 '-` TO: Hearing Examiner for City of Yakima — Rosedell, 1811 W.

This is just a few of the items from my vast research of the Parker and Larson Families. I am in the process of writing three books while I tend to the needs of my very ill spouse. I used plastic sheets for each category which you will have to remove to read. I would have liked to come to the hearing but I cannot. I hope each of you involved in this hearing can take time to study the importance of allowing the Radkes to have a bed and breakfast destination and not permit a handful of nearby residents to say, "NO!" I have been a visitor to countless places in my car touring years and I feel that Rosedell was far superior to many.

RE: UAZO CL (2) #22-8 requested by Holli Radke, 1811 W. Yakima Avenue, better known as ROSEDELL, mansion built in 1905 by A.E. and Rose Parker Larson and named for Rose and Adelbert E. Larson, who was better known as A.E. His real name was Adelbert E. Larson and this writer has never established his middle name. For this report we will go by the initials of "A.E." which he preferred for business and social folks. This writer has file drawers and boxes of research of this very well recognized person and his wife, Rose, plus Rose's son Shirley Parker, from her former marriage to Orlando Parker. Shirley gifted the baseball park for his Pippins to the junior college. Shirley and his mother gave much of the campus for the college and the Larson Art Gallery is a very special place open free to a constant flow of artistic talents from people who know very little about the generosity of this family. In the four year educational building we see the Parker Room and outdoors, the Parker Plaza. This writer was involved in police work in connection with the Yakima police Department, the Yakima County Juvenile Department, the Yakima County Sheriffs Office, the Yakima County Prosecuting Attorneys Office, and assisted the resident agent of the Federal Bureau of Idenification (FBI) over a period from 1951 through to 1965. I learned how to interview and get the facts to present to cases that I touched and when I research, I research from basic facts that a prosecutor can use. Most of the facts are backed up with documentation. The enclosed "LARSON LEGACY" pages is roughly correct. Some of the material is not but has become historical because someone took time to write down his/her thoughts. I have inaccuracies in A.E.'s name and initials. In fact, at Yakima Valley Museum I found his name incorrectly spelled several different places. The only place where I found A.E.'s signature was with his wife's signature and the signature of W.W. Robertson, the famous "Colonel Robertson, owner of the Yakima newspapers. He and his wife with the Larsons, signed a document allowing Edna Robertson Larson to be qualified to handle a $2,000 insurance policy in 1922 for his sons, after he died suddenly in 1922. I doubt that DOC. INDEX # H -'g RECEIVir JUL 14 2001 many even knew that Edna Robertson Larson was A.E.'s sister-in-law and that W.W. CITY OF YAK* Robertson was Arthur Larson's brother-in-law. That's what research is all about and PLANNING DI• there will be a book about this family and what they meant to the citizens of the Yakima Valley. A.E. Larson was a modest man who left a 300 acre farm on the shores of Freeborn Lake, near Alden, Minnesota. Two other men from that state are better recognized. Chester Congdon and H.M. Gilbert. Congdon's Castle is one location almost everyone would like to explore. The home of H.M. Gilbert is recognized as itis part of Yakima Valley Museum and open to visitation for special events. There sits Rosedell with no one allowed to visit and enjoy the home and grounds over 100 years of age. We have the A.E. Larson Building and there have been all kinds of tributes and articles about this beautiful monument to the financial success of A.E. and Rose Parker Larson. We have to remember that behind every successful man are two people, his wife, and his secretary. No one has come forward with the title of a secretary and it is believed to be Rose Parker Larson. She is the one who kept the family library which was inherited by her grandson, Daryl Parker. Daryl's father was Shirley Parker, who was well known in his school days at North Yakima high school. His step father, A.E., was chairman of the school board in 1901, the year that the first four year class of the high school graduated and he invited the Governor of Washington to the graduation. The graduation was held in Larson's Theatre in Yakima. Principal of the class was Ella Parker Stair, sister of Orlando Parker, who was the father of Shirley Parker. See the history — OUR YESTERDAYS, 1885-1956 — The story of our Yakima District No. 7 Schools. Look in the back for some interesting additions. The above paragraph is the result of careful investigation and proof in the files of research this writer conducted. The reason for bringing this large file to you is to provide the opportunity to the present Rosedell mansion to have a bed and breakfast in this beautiful former home of A.E. and Rose Larson, and her son, Shirley Parker, which was restored by Randy Butler, now of Colorado. Randy allowed this writer to video the entire building and grounds with the provision that I was to show Mr. Larson's commitment to the Yakima area. I agreed and have attached the DVD for your enjoyment and education. It has been very popular and led me to video tape the A.E. Larson Building from construction to dedication (1930- 1931). Both of these videos have elicited praise and we must acknowledge .that Eleanor Parker (Shirley Parker's wife) had the foresight to retain family photographs, which I got from her son, Daryl Parker, who inherited his father's and grandmother's estate. Daryl has continued his interest -in following in the footsteps of his father and his grandmother and many of you know we now have -PARKER YOUTH AND SPORTS FOUNDATION. A flyer about this new foundation is in the back of the book, Our Yesterdays, 1885-1956. One of their activities is a sports legends weekend of reminiscing and golf.

I am attaching a very "rough copy" of a story about Larson and his life, which I have used as a guide for my "facts." There are two books in progress. One is about the Parker and Larson lineage and the other is about A.E.'s nephew, Major Donald A. Larson, who was killed August 4, 1944 over Germany when one of his own pilots hit his plane, No one in that flight knew what happened to Don Larson. Not until captured German war records were translated in 1946 and Don's remains with British and American pilots were located. They were in a small town cemetery, buried there by German soldiers and Don's remains were identified by his dog tags. I have the complete story from discovery to his final burial in Belgium in a National Cemetery. A.E. must have been very fond of Major Donaald Larson, who was born one of identical twins on April 2, 1915 in Yakima. Ronald, the identical twin, died after a bicycle accident at S. 5th Avenue and W. Yakima Avenue in Yakima, when he was thrown from his bike. He was run over by a truck and a lady passing by took him to the hospital in 1927 where he passed away. He is interred at the Tahoma Mausoleum next to his father, Arthur Larson, below the crypts for A.E. and Rose Larson. In his will, A.E. gave. Major Larson $10,000 dollars in 1934 with an additional $10,000 when he was to attain age 30. He died in 1944 at age 29 and this money may have been gifted for the swimming pool at the YMCA. There is a plaque there with the name of his mother, Edna Larson, who became Mrs. Logan Roberts when Don Larson was in his teens. The three videos about the Larson -Parker family give different points of view but the facts are all in writing, or if not proved, at least pointed out as possibilities. There has been a previous hearing about the use of Rosedell for a center for retreats. The neighbors were adamant that this not be allowed. The owner, who purchased the mansion from Randy Butler, had a lovely tea and the neighbors in some cases were very rude to the hostess. Some felt it would encroach on their property value. Others thought it would have wild parties and the traffic would endanger the nearby residents. Now we have the Radkes with their request to make a bed and breakfast. There are four lovely bedrooms, each with its own beautiful bathroom, if they were able to bring it back to the beauty when Randy Butler left it. Sad to say there were tenants that may not have had the respect that we all have about special rooms in our National White House. For instance, the Abraham Lincoln bedroom which is sometimes opened for White House guests. Dozens of folks who have seen the video on Yakima Community Television, YCTV, Channel 21, Charter Television, have wished they could see the interior. If the wish of the Radke's is granted, those who wish to reserve a bedroom would have a wonderful opportunity to see this mansion as overnight guests. We have to realize that it takes a lot of money to heat or air condition a home of this size and the owners have to be dedicated to following zoning laws to the letter. There is no way that the Radkes will jeopardize all their hard work in the hands of vandals. I can visualize this bed and breakfast in the similar facility, Birchfield Manor, which also has DOC._ INDEX # Ni RECEIVE" JUL 14 2008 dining with fine foods. My own family has stayed at Birchfield Manor and the girls are CITY OF YAKI hoping the Radkes get their request for a bed and breakfast honored. Thereseems to be PLANNING OI , some who think this zoning change would allow all kinds of other businesses to come in. Some of these same people may have business licenses, themselves, for businesses that do not require customers to visit their homes. The customers for a bed and breakfast at Rosedell would enter at the back near the carriage house and Gazebo, or they could come in the gate on W. Yakima Avenue and drive to the rear of the mansion. In my research of the Larsons, they were very social folks and Mrs. Larson often entertained young folks. Some of whom are living today, who remember how they felt. It was a place of elegance but with a friendly atmosphere. A.E. had parties for the Christmas season that some still remember. Let's let the Radkes provide another view of Rosedell. ( Rose for Rose Parker Larson and Dell for Adelbert (Dell) E. Larson.) If bedrooms in the White House such as the one for Abraham Lincoln can be used for r guests, why not the bedrooms of Rosedell for you and me. I recommend that the Radkes be authorized to us the property known as Rosedell, at 1811 W. Yakima Avenue, Yakima, Washington as a "bed and breakfast" place to enjoy one of our best historical r homes.

We are sending you this brochure to interest you in our newly formed Parker Youth & Sports Foundation. Don Crook's wonderful paintings represent our interest in helping young people pursue their dreams, and in preserving the legacies of Shirley Parker and his mother Rose B. Larson. We hope you - will join us in our efforts to fulfill our mission and goals, dedicated to the support of parks and playfields, and youth sports programs. This new Foundation is rooted in the original Parker Youth Foundation, and in the erosion of adequate funding for parks and recreation programs. The loss of Larson Park tennis courts and softball fields is a reminder of the major contribution the Larson and Parker gifts to the city and the school district have been to the quality of life for the community. When reviving the Parker Youth Foundation was first mentioned I thought it was an interesting idea. Daryl Parker's personal interest encouraged a core group to follow up on that idea. Jim Scoggins led a steering committee through the early organizing. On October 29th of fast year the charter members held the founding meeting to adopt by-laws and elect officers and an executive committee. The Parker Youth & Sports Foundation was established.. Our board members are committed to our mission because we know from personal experience how important and life enriching participation in sports can be to young people. We want to provide our youth who have interests and talent in sports with the opportunities to pursue their dreams and develop their abilities. Since Parker Field was my classroom for twenty-six years at YVCC, I am naturally interested in the future of that facility and the college athletic program, but my strong belief in the value of competitive sports in.the lives of young people .goes ..far .beyond that. Other boardmembers_have a primary interest in broader goals; unrelated to the college. The original Parker Youth Foundation focused primarily on athletic scholarships at Yakima Junior College, but our directors agree that our purpose should be much broader, as our mission statement indicates. We expect to make modest contributions this first year to each of our goals. The extent and number of our scholarship awards and other grants will depend to a large degree upon the success of this initial fund raising effort. Please readthe brochure and follow with a level of financial support that is comfortable for you. Your contribution will give us the means and encouragement to move forward and make good things happen. You'll be a Foundation supporter, and we'll keep you informed with a regular newsletter. We look forward to your response. Sincerely yours, Bill Faller, President Parker Youth & Sports Foundation DOC.

As founder of Yakima's first professional baseball team in 1937, he built Parker Field on the same 10 -acre plot on which the ballpark stands today. At the same time he donated to the community college an adjacent 10 acres where the Yakima Valley Community College main campus and the Larson Art Gallery are located. His mother, Rose B. Larson, donated an adjacent 20 acres to the City of Yakima to be used as a park named in honor of her late husband, A.E. Larson, owner and builder of Yakima's Larson Building. Mrs. Larson and Mr. Parker also gave a trust fund of approximately $100,000 to the Junior College for the purpose of helping to build the campus. Parker Field and Larson Park became the center _ for community baseball and softball programs and other recreational activities. Larson Park was also the site of four softball fields, including Dunbar and Noel Fields, and 12 tennis courts, home of the , Larson Park Tennis Club for many decades. All of the ball fields and the tennis courts were lighted for night play, making this the primary and most -utilized outdoor recreational facility in the community. The fields were used to full capacity for fastpitch, slowpitch, and flag football recreational leagues, and the Junior College utilized the fields for physical education classes, intramurals, and varsity football practice. Until 1967, Parker Field was the home of the college and professional baseball teams and is still the home for YVCC baseball and the Yakima Beetles American Legion team. The Parker -Larson vision and desire for an educational, cultural and recreational center for the city were realized. Today, the 40 -acre tract of land comprises the YVCC main campus, the Larson Gallery, Larson Park, Dunbar Field, Noel Field, and Parker Field. Shirley Parker's son, Daryl Parker, joined with others who share his father's commitment to form the Parker Youth & Sports Foundation. Daryl Parker, a businessman who lives in Monroe, is an active member of the Foundation's Board of Directors and serves on its Executive Committee. An inspiration for the Parker Youth & Sports Foundation was the former Parker Youth Foundation, which was founded in the late 1940s for the primary purposes of preserving Parker Field and providing scholarships to student -athletes at Yakima Junior College. Joe Donahue, the only surviving member of that original Parker Youth Foundation, is a charter member of the Parker Youth & Sports Foundation Board of Directors. The Parker Youth & Sports Foundation remains strongly committed to the goals of the first Parker. Youth Foundation, but with a broader mission. It is interested in parks, youth, sports and recreation and is committed to support sports programs and facilities throughout the greater Yakima area. Public funding and other support for parks and recreation programs for all age groups are inadequate to meet the interests and needs of the public, and they are reduced further each budget cycle. For these reasons, and others expressed in our goals, the rebirth of this Foundation was inspired. The Parker Youth & Sports Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization, and all donations are tax deductible. PA}; KER YOUTH & SPORTS FOUNDATION - P.O.

I am enclosing several items that may help, which I am also furnishing the hearing examiner to study before he makes his decision. I know both you and the hearing examiner will be pleased to get the video, now on DVD, that I did about ten years ago. I have been an active producer at YCTV, Channel 21, for 24 years and have produced 180 programs for viewing on this City of Yakima station. The one on Rosedell has been shown a number of times and new viewers who see and recognize me always tell me how much they enjoyed the show and how much they wish they could visit the house. I can understand why. I spent hours videoing from the basement with its antiquated fiunace complex to the kitchen with the "rose in the stained glass in the kitchen," if it has not been broken, to the attic where there were "blackout curtains" left from WW11 days that young people do not know about. The four bedrooms on the third floor with individual beautiful baths are breaktaking. Again, I hope that the previous family with kids didn't ruin anything. Randy Butler, the person who put Rosedell back in its former state of elegance tells the story of this in the video now on DVD. I also did videos for the A.E. Larson Building and the Larson Art Gallery on the Yakima Valley Community College campus next to the Prior Hall. I am sorry I cannot attend the hearing on July 24t. My husband is very ill and not expected to live so I want to spend these last days with him. However, the previous owner, Mrs. Newton, had a tea and invited the neighbors in and some of them were so insulting and apparently the hearing examiner went with them. This time you need to see if you can find out if there are any of them. who have businesses just as you contemplate. I see no problem with B&B at all. Those visitors will pay a good sum and be so busy touring the mansion, or resting for the next day of visiting our area, they wouldn't think of doing damage! I presume the hearing will be aired on Y -PAC and I hope to see some of the folks I know on my television set with Charter TV, who want to visit, speaking in your behalf. It would be a great place for honeymooners or for married couples to visit for a Silver or DOC. INDEX # // /3E 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 JUL 1 4 ZUUti OF YAKIMA PLANNING DP/. Golden Anniversary. I am enclosing information about the Birchfield Manor Bed and Breakfast. I have given our two daughters gift certificates for dining and for bed and breakfast. They know I am writing you and hope, to be guests at Rosedell. This beautiful place needs to be shared and I am with you in spirit as I write this! I also called the proprietors of Patsy Clark, owners of a beautiful mansion of the same era as Rosedell in Spokane to get a flyer about this bed and breakfast. This may come later and I will route it to Alice Klein, assistant planner. This Spokane area mansion is not as beautiful as Rosedell. The Spokane Model T club hosted folks for this tour where we had lunch at Patsy Clark's. It was a wonderful 4th of July weekend and we were costumed with pre -1915 dress. The men had their white pants, suspenders, black bow ties and straw hats; the ladies had beautiful white cotton dresses with lace trim and wore huge hats with flowers and ostrich plumes. There were over 100 old time Model T cars of every year and body style touring from many of our States and Canada. We parked in front of the countless other Victorian homes and the owners came out to enjoy the scene we made. I shall never forget the ambiance of this section of Spokane. This is why it is so important to me that we have a place like Rosedell to give everyone an opportunity to see how people lived in this Victorian area. We were proudly told that the father of the current President Bush and some of his staff had dinner at Patsy Clark's once. Rosedell is a perfect place for safety and who knows when or if some person protected by the FBI does not find your facility just right for an overnight stay. Rosedell now has a lovely fence through which we can still enjoy the mansion and the carriage house from the days A.E. and Mrs. Rose Parker Larson had a horse and buggy and the driver lived on the second floor. I have a photo somewhere showing the hay mow under the eaves. It later housed A.E.'s cars. If you wish to call me, do in the evening. My husband requires a lot of care but by 8 pm he is settled down usually. I am enclosing the documentation of Mrs. Newton's attempt to get her wishes in 1996. Her spokes person at her tea had a rather gruff voice which did not add much to the afternoon talk with the sarcasm floating in the air by those opposed to any kind of business in that zone. , If I were you, I would find a "gentle toned" representative or attorney, to assist you.. The last time Randy and I toured the finished mansion, I got a big kick out of how he exercised his police dog. He went to the kitchen closet by the east door and took out his tennis racket. The dog raced after the ball down the slight hill to where the pond was and back with the ball. Randy did this several times and his dog got the exercise he required without being on a chain. Very clever! My very best thoughts and wishes on July 24th! Enclosures Sincer rine Little, Reser6h pst acific Northwest States and ritish Columbia DOC.

Larson. I am delighted that the newest owner, Anne DeLaurenti Newton, plans to open this lovely place for receptions. I would honor her request for parking areas. ' Currently, I am working on a history of the contributions of Mr. Larson to this community, which I promised Randy and•Jeannette Butler, previous owners, I would do before I could video this estate, inside and out. Just before Mrs. Newton bought the place, I had the pleasure of visiting the Rosedell four times to capture the essence of its beauty!. Historical research reveals Mr. Larson considered using Rosedell as SCE II an art gallery but instead the family contribution was made to Ji build Larson Gallery for the public to view community art exhibits at the Yakima Valley Community College complex. It is my personal. feeling that Mr. Larson would approve that the public could enjoy (g.. Rosedell under the auspices of Mrs. Newton. This lovely home has been in the hands of only four families: Larsons, Derbys, Butlers, and now Newtons. Each has kept the grounds and mansion so it isa credit to our community. I think the video I will finalize at YCTV - the City's Access Channel - will give everyone a peek at what elegance was at the turn of the century and the Newtons will allow those who have special occasions to use the mansion wisely and well.

In case you missed the Legal Notice in the Yakima Herald Republic Thursday, June 27, 1996, I noted that the owners of Rosedell have applied to the City of Yakima for construction of twenty-five parking spaces there for a "home occupational reception hall in the R-1 (Family Zoning) District." A11 of you are aware that I have video footage of Rosedell and am working on the history of A.E. Larson and his contributions to our community preparatory to a video to be shown on YCTV, the City of Yakima's Access channel. All of you have had a hand in keeping Rosedell a credit to the community and I hope you will not be offended that I wrote the City and asked them to consider the Newton's request and permit the parking. I think having the home and grounds open to selected folks is a marvelous idea. I am sure, over the years when Mr. and Mrs. Larson were in the community, that often more than 25 horse and buggies parked and later Model T Fords, Buicks, and other earlyday cars found parkin places for social functions. It costs a lot to keep a mansion like Rosedell in top condition and if an occasional reception will help finance this expense, and parked cars will not visibly detract from the home and grounds no more than any other group gathering at a private home in the area, I hope the City of Yakima permits the parking and the use of the home for receptions. I have not been able to work as diligently as I would. like this past year on research. Bear with me, please. I had a lot of video footage to edit and I am fast catching up with'five hours every Thursday In the editing room at YCTV. Editing footage is exciting but at times very.slow.

NARRATIVE. 4.1 Background - Rosedell Mansion. The A.E. Larson home (Rosedell Mansion) was built about 1905 and is a monumental Neoclassical residence located on the west side of Yakima Avenueon a gentle hill that overlooks the city and surrounding countryside: : The house is constructed ` of rusticated ashlar masonry and is distinguished by two colossal porticos with fluted columns. The home is sited on a seven lot. parcel (comprising approximately 1 and 1/2 acres) which forms . a triangular park -like lawn, ; ornamented with a variety ofdeciduous and coniferous trees (including English and American oak, walnut, and cedar, a fish pond and rock retaining walls. To the rear of the house isa two-story frame carriage house, the upper floor of which is utilized as residential space: The interior of the Rosedell Mansion features monumentally designed public spaces and lavish materials. Throughout the first floor, rooms are ornamented with frieze, oak floors with geometric parquetry, and classical moldings. The central entry hall features a fireplace with simulated stone mantelpiece and a tile surround. Above the mantel is a mirror framed by an entablature molding. To the south of the door, a wide stairway rises - in three flights to the second floor. The banister features turned balusters and ° the stairhall is lined with paneled wainscoting. The second floor includes four bedrooms arranged around a central sitting room with fireplace. The entire interior, including third floorattic and basement contains approximately 9,600 square feet. "The dream of Larson to convert the property into an art museum was never realized " (National Historic Register Record, Section 8, Page 2). "(Larson's] fortune also helped to establish Yakima Valley Community College. The college is the site of ;an art gallery named after Larson. He had hoped it would be established in his hilltop home." (Yakima Herald, March 21, 1995). - 4.2 Backgr . utnd - Adelbert E. - (A.E) Larson: Destined to become a leading figure in the commercial development of Yakima in the early 20th century, A.E. Larson was born in a log cabin on a farm near . Albert Lea, Minnesota, in 1862. In 1884 he left Minnesota for Washington Territory where he found employment in a Cle .Elum logging camp. Settlingpermanently in Yakima in 1891; Larson bought an interest in the Scott Lumber Yard, and began investing in the city's nascent commercial center. In 1899, Larson built the city's first theater - originally known as Larson's . Theater and later as the Yakima Opera House. In 1910 Larson erected the Donnelly Hotel, a major hostelry in the center of . town. Finally, in 1931, in the midst of the Depression, Larson opened the 11 -story Larson Building, an Art Deco tower designed by John Maloney and widely considered central Washington's preeminent commercial landmark. DOC. INDE # H7/36 kt9/Oaraa D.vi/Opatelat Ssrwtcss - Pegg 2 Larson's contributions to the Yakima Valley went beyond real estate development, however. In the early 20th century, he served as vice-president of the Larson Hardware Company, vice-president of the Yakima First National Bank, president of the Sunshine Mining Company, president of Surety Finance Company, and owner of the ,local Ford dealership. For many years, Larson was avidly involved in promoting reclamation in central Washington, and was the moving force behind the campaign to secure federal funds for: the Roza irrigation project. Larsonalso helped organize the local chamber of :commerce, the Rotary club, and was chairman of the local Democratic . Party central committee. Larson helped form the Central Washington Fair Corporation and was a member of the state Planning Comnmission. 4.1.3 Background - Rose . B. Larson:. "Born in Vancouver, Washington, Rose. Larson moved with her family to Yakima Valley in 1870. She attended the - pioneer Ahtanum school and was one of the first graduates of the Woodcock Academy. She became a teacher of English. In Yakima, Mrs. Larson became a leader in the early women's organizations. As a charter member of the Twentieth Century Club, she worked hard to combine this club with the Yakima Woman's Club and the result today is the outstanding Yakima Woman's Century Club. Mrs. Larson's . greatest desire . was to help young women. She conceived the idea of forming Junior club s for women up to thirty-five years of age. As a result of her leadership, Rosalnia Club was formed in Yakima, the Junior Sorosis, Agenda . Club and the Junior Club of the Woman's Century Club. The movement spread rapidly and : Junior Clubs :were formed throughout the valley and the, State.'' Her u and spade= bore with :it; surrounding gardens ems always open for dub as vides". (100 Years - 100 Women, 1889 - 1989, at 'pg. 23). 4.1.4 Background - Summary: It is essential that determinations regarding the applicant's request be examined in the light of the history of the property and it's owners so instrumental to the economic and social advances that occurred in early Yakima. Were the applicant's project site a common or "generic" single-family residence, a request for a Class . III permit to conduct gatherings andactivities similar to those occurring in this monumental home years ago, would be inappropriate. It is the applicant's desire to offset substantial preservation, maintenance and operating expenses of this substantial . property by utilizing the site for activities similar in tone, style, size and purpose as events long held in the neighborhood as conducted by the Larsons. 5. PROJECT IDESCRIPTLON. The applicant proposes to continue the residential use of her home in the Rosedell. Mansion, and continue residential use of the upper floor of the Carriage House. In addition, the applicant proposes to DOC. INDEX # -13(3 ta/lUam,r nw&,/®meat Sersd ese _ ®'.n. —e the Rosedell Mansion .periodically available to small, selectgroups of g overnment or social organizations for high-quality gatherings such as t. :;;eve planning retreats, receptions for visiting dignitaries, or smallcelebrations to bridal showers, anniversaries, reunions . orsmall weddings. These ,moans would be pre -arranged, set by appointment, and provided at . a fee. Any .± eventwould meet criteria described in Section 6.1 below.. Incidental Food. Preparation. The applicant .contemplates the need for incidental food preparation and service, generally to be catered by small groups who reserve -the Rosedell for special occasions.. There may be occasion when incidental food preparation occurs onsite. The applicant does not contemplate food preparation for off-site consumption as . defined . in Section 15.02.020 of Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance. Neither does the applicant . propose use of the property as a restaurant which "means an establishment operated primarily_ for preparing, cooking, and serving meals..." (15.02.020: ibid). The : applicant envisions that most groups reserving use of Rosedell will provide weir own catering services.. The applicant request permission to prepare and wide, where appropriate, incidental hors d'oeuvres, light snacks or foods customarily provided as light refreshments for guests. Any provision of small foods will be incidental or secondary to the primary uses of the property requested herein, that of a single family. residence and/or . small . group gathering 5.2 Proposed Parking/Driveway Upgrades. To accommodate such quasi -public use in :a manner least intrusive to adjacent properties, the applicant proposes to discreetly site . 22 onsite parking . spaces, widenan existing . driveway on the east side of the structure, and re -install a circular driveway originally sitedon the property. Installing the original driveway pattern will improve vehicle movement in and out of onsite parking areas by providing one entry driveway : (at southwest comer of property), and two exit driveways (on south and east sides of property). 5.3 : Proposed Covered Parking/New Construction hnprovements. There is currently ` no covered parking available to the property ` owner. In a subsequent year, 1997, the applicant is researching architectural plans that would integrate with and join the Rosedell Mansion and Carriage House. Plans are being researched for developing a facility that allows . open drive-through for vehicles and enclosed parking space for two vehicles, on the ground floor of the structure, and . exhibit or meeting . space on the second floor. The proposed new construction will completely correspond with existing rooflines, : heights, space volumes, materials and architectural themes reflected in the Mansion and Carriage House. The new structure, inclusive of a drive-through passway for vehicles will be approximately 75' x 35' for a total ground floor square footage of 2,625 square feet. A photograph of this concept is attached to this report as an example of architectural research, and is identified as Exhibit "A". DOC. INDEX 1 1 1 1 Wow, Develepeept Services - Page 4 The proposed project therefore includes the following specific element requests: 1) Permission to . host small gatherings for a fee; 2) Permission to install 22 onsite . parking :spaces; 3) Permission to serve food onsite, incidental or secondary to theprimary uses of the property as a residence, and small groups or gatherings as defined herein; 4) Permission to widen the existing driveway oneast side of structure; 5) Permission: to re -install the .original circular driveway located on the grounds; 6) Conceptual approval to study the feasibility of future construction of a two-story (2,625sf on ground floor), drive-through facility that adjoins the Rosedell Mansion and Carriage: House. 7) Landscaping improvements for screening of parking spaces and beautification of driveways and grounds. 6. PROPOSED USES The applicant can describe proposed uses best by establishing .criteria for proposed uses and then identifying examples of appropriate activities within the proposed criteria: 6.1 Criteria for Proposed Non -Residential Use: 1) Number of allowable guests will be fifty (50) persons or less; 2) Hours of schedule activities . will be between 9:00a.m. and midnight; 3) The applicant will have no employees; 4) Only light food preparation, incidental or secondary to the use of the premises as a gathering place for small groups, will occur.

SITE IMPROVEMENTS The applicant proposes modest improvements to the grounds of the Manor in 1996, and proposes additional construction on the site in 1997. These improvements are described as follows: 7.1 Improvements to Grounds The original grounds included two driveway entries on West Yakima Avenue, one is an existing access near midpoint on the southern boundary, and the second was an entry located at the southwestern corner of the property. 7.1.1. Driveway Access. The applicant proposes to reinstall the original driveway access at the southwestern .corner of : the property in order to . replace a circular driveway once present around the Rosedell Manor. 7.1.2. Circular Driveway. An existing driveway on the east side of Rosedell Manor (the main entry) will be widened an additional twelve' feet to accommodate two-lanevehicle. access and additional onsite parking spaces. New driveway paving will be re -installed . on the grounds on the north and west sides of the Mansion so that the "circle" of the driveway starts/ends on West Yakima Avenue. In . addition, a long existing :driveway: accessed from Park Avenue will be connected . with the circular driveway. See site plan and specific discussion in Section 8 of this report. Driveway surfaces will be asphaltic and impervious. 7.1.3 Onsite Parking Spaces. There is currently one informal parking space, and no covered parking, on. the grounds. The applicant proposes to install approximately 20 additional parking spaces in scattered sites on the west and northwest areas of the grounds. This will result in 21 parking spaces available DOC. INDE # UW/maii Meow/opine/It Senecas - Page 6 on the north and west grounds, with an additional 4 parking spaces available when the east driveway is widened, for a total of 25 parking spaces onsite. The 21 non -driveway parking spaces located on the north and west grounds of the site will be made of gravel and/or pervious materials that minimally affect watercourse and ground absorption. 7.1.4 Americans With Disabilities Act Compli ;: ce (ADA): Improvements described in 7.1.1, 7.1.2 and 7.1.3 are strategic steps toward bringing the Rosedell Manor into compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act _ (ADA). An additional improvement proposed is the minor : remodeling of a porch located on the south side of the structure (facing: Yakima Avenue). The porch will be remodeled to accommodate wheelchairaccessibility and entry to the Mansion from a southern (parlor room) door. With driveway access and driveway reinstalled at the southwestern corner, and four . parking spaces :.immediately adjacent onsite, disabled persons will be able to comfortably and safely arrive, enter and depart, the Rosedell Manor. Steep stairs of the main entry (east . side of the Rosedell) prevent entry by wheelchair-bound persons at the present time. 7.1.5. Landscaping Improvements. The applicant proposes to preserve all existing mature trees on the site. Driveway and parking needs are designed to accommodate existing trees. Landscaping improvements : will include fencing, parking space screening, and beautification of driveways, . gardens and natural pathways: 7.1.51. Fencing. Shrubbery . utilized as fencing on the grounds will be allowed to grow to maximum allowable heights : in compliance . with : Section 15.05.020(G) (Ord. 93-81, Section 24, 1993) of Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance. The main purpose of allowing shrubbery fencing to 'achieve maximum allowable heights is to reduce and minimize onsite noise from adjacent traffic. Fencing height restrictions are as follows: Fmnt Yard "In residential districts, six feet (6') shall be the maximum height in the front yard behind required . setback, except . must conform to clear view triangle (see below) standards where applicable." Side Yard: "No fence or wall shall exceed four feet (4') in height within the required sideyard setback area from a street." Rear Yard: "in residential districts six feet (6') is the maximum fence or wall height" Clear View Triangle: "The vision clearance triangle shall consist of the area bounded by the centerlines of the adjacent intersecting streets extending along the centerlines eighty (80') feet from the point of intersection, and a straight line connecting said latter points." (Sec. 15.05.040 ibid) .. (The Clear View Triangle K9//min Davelepna#t SentAes - riga 7 1 1 1 1 1 11 11 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 applies to the northeast corner of the Rosedell Mansion grounds where West Yakima Avenue and Park Avenue intersect). 7.1.5.2 Parking Space Screening. To minimize watercourse, visual and aesthetic impacts associated with onsite parking spaces, the applicant proposes to utilize natural products for surface area of proposed parking spaces, and will ornament parking spaces withsmall shrubs, indigenousplantings or flower gardens. As noted on the site plan, the proposed .,parking spaces are not located in one large area, but rather, scattered insmall clusters of parking spaces with . landscape screening space between the parking space clusters. The applicant desires to provide onsite parking with minimal visual . and aesthetic disruption of views of the grounds orgeneral outdoor ambiance adjacent to the Rosedell Mansion. 7.1.5.3. Beatification of Driveways and :. Grounds. The ultimate beauty of the grounds surrounding Rosedell is achieved by its spacious and natural appearance, with expansive . areas of Lawn, clusters of large, mature, coniferous and deciduous trees, and small gardens scattered throughout the site. The applicant proposes to continue this theme on the entire grounds, while accommodating needed onsite parking. 7.15.4 Removal of Fish Pond. An obsolete, small fish pond that is located on the northeastern quadrantof the property .isscheduled for removal and replacement with a small gazebo to be utilized as an outdoor study area, or small space for quiet conversations, etc. The applicant is concerned that the old pond, with or without water, constitutes an attractive nuisance on the site and proposes to replace the pond with an old-fashionedgazebo appropriate to the site. 7.2 Proposed Construction in 1997. The applicant is researching architectural features and uses associated with constructing a structure that .adjoins the Rosedell Mansion with the Carriage House thatwill include a pass-through over the circular driveway for vehicles to utilize and covered parking space for two vehicles on the ground floor of the proposed two-story structure. The second story will be utilized as meeting or exhibit space. Additional research is required to ensure that any new construction comports with guidelinesfrom the State Office of Archeology.. and Historic Preservation, and City of Yakima Building Department permitrequirements for R-1 zoning. Height,. rooflines and architectural themes existing at Rosedell Mansion will be matched and . not exceeded or changed with : ;the: proposed new addition : that adjoins the two existing structures on the site. The proposed ,new construction includes no additional use that is not otherwise addressed in this Class . ]II Review application and is . being included for preliminary discussion and consideration with this application. Further permitting and review is necessary at the time actual construction plans are prepared DOC. JNDE !Ni/mays Da& /opmeot SerWces - Argo B 8. SITE PLAN 8.1 Site Plan detail explanation. A site plan, developed on a 10 -square grid, is attached to this. plan. Each small square represents 3', or 1" = 30'. The site plan indicates the footprint of the Rosedell Mansion and Carriage House, along with existing and proposed driveway placements. The site plan positions all structures, utilities, substantial trees and other physical orsignificant natural features: of the site. Existing driveways and physical structures are noted in solid lines. Proposeddriveway installations are noted in dotted lines. Proposed parking spaces are also . placed on the site plan. It should be noted that the narrow, existing driveway on the east side of the property, will be utilized as four additional parallel parking spaces, when the driveway is widened. The proposed area for new construction is not shown on the site plan, but is that area directly between the two structures onsite (approximately 75' between north porch steps of the main house and carriage house). The site plan shows parking for an R.V. vehicle in . the area that will ultimately become covered parking when new construction commences. 8.2 Discussion of watercourse alterations on . proposed site. On January 30, 1996, . Dr. Kenneth, Ph.D., P.E., owner/consultant . of Irrigation & Hydraulics Unlimited, conducted a site tour of the grounds of Rosedell Mansion and provided recommendations to the applicant andplanning consultant regarding spacing and placing of proposed onsite parking spaces to minimize impact to watercourse alterations. A letter of findingssubmitted by. Dr.: Mitchell is attached to the. Environmental Assessment accompanying this Class ..III Review'. application and is identified as Exhibit "A" thereof. Essentially, utilizing natural surface materials for parking spaces, and clustering placement of parking spaces minimizes any watercourse alterations at the proposed site. . In addition, Dr. Mitchell notes that the property is not in a floodplain, contains permeable Willis Loam soils on a hardpan base. The proposed placement of parking spaces provides minimum environmental impacts andminimum disruption to expansive feelings associated with the grounds of the Rosedell Mansion. 9. Compatibility with Neighboring Land. Uses. In complete candor, the holding of large social or business activities is .a social practice common to the neighboring homes adjacent to the Rosedell Manor. Longtime Yakima residents invite family, business associates and friends to visit in their large homes frequently. The basic distinction between this traditional use of large homes located in this prominent neighborhood is one of economics, as much as it is "use." The DOC. INDEX # N-i3E3 U49//ms, Development sonp1ces - Page 9 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1• 1 1 1 1 1 applicant, because of the magnitude of the mansion, grounds and its historic significance, incurs substantial ongoing . preservation, maintenance and operating expenses. The applicant simply wishes to somewhat,' and somehow, offset ongoing expenses in a manner compatible with the site and adjacent properties, while making the property periodically available ;to ..Yakima residents and visitors. Deriving a fee for small group events constitutes a change in use for which this Class III Permit is requested. Receiving no fee, the applicant is at liberty to hold large social gatherings as often as desired, without deference to needed onsite parking_ nor other criteria .that seeks to minimize impacts to adjacent properties. The applicant desires to not only formalize permission to conduct such uses as described :herein, but to ensure and assuage adjacent property owners and city zoning officials as to her sincerity regarding preserving the integrity of the property, and conducting events that are specifically compatible with such a majestic site, as did the Larsons in the first quarter of this century in Yakima. 10. Consistency :with District Intent, Standard Intent,. and Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance. The site and proposed uses are consistent with District Intent, Standard Intent, and Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance, as follows: 10.1 District Intent. The existing structures, proposed use and proposed construction are consistent with density standards for R-1 zoning in, that only two single-family : dwellings exist on the site, less than.. an.: allowable "seven (7) dwelling units per net residential acre." (15.03.030(2) Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance). The proposed project continues.. the single-family residential use of the Rosedell Manor, .while formalizing :.criteria by which this historic property may become ::more self-sufficient .economically. 10.2 Standard Intent. The, proposed project: asks no special considerations respecting standard intents and criteria for emissions,.- light, glare, noise, traffic,. heat, storage or waste considerations, nor any other environmental impacts that may affect the project site or adjacent properties, as such Special Standards are identified within Section 15.09 of the .'Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance. The applicantproposes to comply with all R-1 zoning, fencing, setbacks, open space, lot coverage, animal, accessory structure requirements and other standards of use and performance associated with residential neighborhoods. This Class III permit application is intended: to demonstrate the applicant's desire to continue all aspects of R-1 residential characteristics with a well defined permit that establishes specific criteria upon which the Rosedell Mansion can be minimally income producing for its own posterity. DOC. NDEX 1/4//nraw De&s/opnreat Sends - Piss 10 11. CONSISTENCY wall YAKIMA URBAN AREA COM "REHENSIVE PLAN. The existing site and proposed use is consistent with the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan in the following Plan areas: 11.1 Past Trends. The Rosedell, memorialized and historically recognized the homesite of A.E. Larson and named for his wife, Rose Larson, commemorates the early development of downtown Yakima and is consistent with . past trends identified ,in the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan (at pages I-7 and I-8). 11.2 Comprehensive Plan Comnponents. The project site has no impact upon and does not disrupt natural systems, transportation, or utilities identified within the Plan. The project is neutral respecting impact to housing as it proposes no increase or decrease in housing units. 113. Optimal Land Use Plan. The existing site and proposed Class IR permitted uses are consistent with the all identified objectives of the Optimal Land Use Plan, in that: Objective I - The project does not affect public " services nor place excessive burden on the general taxpayer or resident of the area; Objective II - The project does not involve any activity which will cause degradation of existing land uses or degrade the : health,: safety or welfare of current residents of the area; Objective III - The project seeks assurance "that future land use controls respond to, rather than attempt to direct market demand by providing a degree of predictability to land use decisions while retaining flexibility to address individual situations." (at page OLU-2) 11.4 Land Use Categories. The project is consistent with current low-density land use criteria as described on page OLU-7 of the . Comprehensive Plan.

DIV. Monday forenoon our citizens were . shocked by the j 1118=.heart for some time back and the opinion is that he.was suffering from a' sudden attack when' he fell - from.'the wagon. Whether or not the attack 'weld Italie been fatal had it.not been for the fall, is of copse report passed along the street that John A. Larson a., well known resident of the city, .bad been killed. on. Fountain street in a runaway. It seems that Mr. Larson had been hauling sone' .a -question, but Dr. von Barg; when asked regarding the rubbish to a vacant lot in the western part of the city, and was returning to his home on Fountain street when he was stricken with heart' trouble. He was first noticed by letter carrier, Tom Bergen, . who saw him bending over the side of his wagon box. He slid not think anything was the trouble . at first, supposing Mr. Larson was attempting to pick up one of the lines as they seemed to be 'loose. The horses. were walking at that time and he could easily . have caught then had he realized anything was the matter. A little' further down the street the horses began to run and Mr. Bergen called to some men jo stop them, but they did not understand, and about that time he and settled at Faribault, but after six monthshe came saw Mr. Larson pitch out of the wagon. , to Freeborn county and purchased a farm in Carlston Another who witnessed the accident was Dr. von, .township in the fall of 1869, where ae resided until Berg. He was untying his teare in. front of the L. 8. 1398, when he removed to this city. Whitcomb residence, when he noticed Mr. Larson- ap- psoaching and his appearance 'in the wagon attracted the Doctor's attention. He • had one hand on the dash- board of the box and the other on the side near the seat and his lead was hanging over the box: He at first thought Mr. Larson was trying to get one of• the reins, and when about •four rods away and before the Doctor fully realized what might be the tiroable, he saw the . old gentleman pitch over the side of •the wagon and strike the ground on his head and shoulders. • Dr. von Berg asked a drayman, who happened to be right there to watch his, team, and ran to the assist- ance of :tIr. Larson, but the unfortunate gentleman only gave two or three gasps after the Doctor reached his side, and passed away. It seems that Mr. Larson has had some trouble with matter, stated • that he was of the opinion his death :was caused by the fall while in that condition. The remains were, at once removed to the holds Of; his daughter, Mrs. Edward Tellett, whose home was near at hand, and later taken to his own home further .t down on Fountain street. A The deceased was born at Malmot Sweden, March 12, 1=4- 1836, growing to. young manhood there and came to America in the spring of 1858 and settled in Chicago. Where he remained for six months, when he came west t'o:Iowa and located at Calmer. Not liking It there he only. remainad six months, when he came to Minnesota In 1861 he was :: married to . Miss Margaret Horning, whosurvives hips. To .them were born ten children, six of whom are living. These are A. E.

At'the time of the Indian troubles Mr. Larson took hid, team and drove around and gathered up his neigh - bop and took them to; his home where they remained until the scare was over.: He was very friendly with the ,_Indians and they looked upon him as their friend and often came to his farm and stayed at the old log house on the bank of Freeborn Lake.

The decision to erect this building was based upon a deep-seated faith in the further development and continued future prosper- ity of Yakima and of the Yakima Valley. I have seen this Valley change from a sage brush desert into a veritable Eden. Yakima is now the trading and distributing center for a Valley population of 106,484 people, (1930 Census). The plans of the Reclamation Service em- brace a program that will irrigate another quarter million acres; so that the future holds great things in store for Yakima. • Perhaps present conditions do not warrant, from a return or earning standpoint, the in- vestment of three-quarters of a million dol- lars in this building, but that phase of the project has been over -shadowed by an earn- est desire to do something in a substantial and a serviceable way for Yakima and it's people. While we have endeavored to attain ar- chitectural beauty and dignity,. the "BIG IDEA" has been to build for the, safety, com- fort and convenience of the professional and business people who will occupy this build- ing, as well as for the patients, clients and customers who visit them. The Location Location is the most valuable single asset that a business can have. For more than 30 years the corner of Yakima Avenue and Second Street has been the hub corner, or center of the business section of Yakima, and every indication is that it will continue to be the hub corner for another 30 years, or longer. The Planning In addition to the services of the archi- tect, Mr. John W. Maloney and his associates, the Building Planning Service of the Na- tional Building Owners and Managers Assoc- iation was secured. This included a con- ference in Yakima of building experts from various cities of the country, who discussed and approved every phase and detail of the plans of the building, its equipment, lay- outs and appointments, to the end that there might be obtained the best possible building to meet the needs of the community. The Building Class A, fire -proof construction through- out. Eleven stories of steel -reinforced con- crete, the best type of construction known. It is of the new American set -back type. The base is of highly polished Viper black Swedish granite. �o'�'-v��oxa�'oxE/�'-c%�Ka�/ ✓�l�'-okvroxo-.�-i/�'�/�•v� The building is faced with a special size, high quality face brick, trimmed with Traver- tine stone in harmonizing colors. All four sides carry this facing that, presenting a finished front from all directions, • it will stand a sentinel of the Yakima Valley, beau- tiful in the perfect harmony cf architecture and decoration. The Main Entrance The main entrance is from Second Street, and the three bronze doors are recessed, so as to furnish adequate protection. Heavy cast bronze grilles, in dull satin finish and IIIIII I I N M I I M M M 11= N I NM :IME • I I M I E I N MN N M M i - M - - - M 'c • �i� rig✓i� /h��G+lam li �O,✓i� o,�i •�li li•l��G �o L •�d+�ln executed in modern motif overlay the art glass transom. The entrance and vestibule - front give an air of cordial welcome, which increases as you go through the vestibule into the main lobby. The Main Lobby This is a spacious place with walls of hlack and red Italian Marble with cast plaster ceiling ornamented in modern style following through on the same general scheme as the entrance. The combination -terrazzo • and marble inlay floors will have designs worked in by the use of marble and brass dividing strips imbedded into the terrazzo, separating the different colors to form the design. The whole will make a very pleasing ,and har- monizing floor that will reflect the shading of the marble walls and special cast bronze elevator fronts. To the left of the elevators is the Grand staircase constructed of marble and bronze. This stairway is designed to make the second floor convenient and attractive for small shops. The Office Windows The 365 flawless new imporved Browne windows insure perfection of vision and maximum light. They are perfectly bal- anced, noiseless in operation, dust proof, weather proof and give regulated ventilation ✓i •moi ln�-0��c •:!i••�i •L�•�i�•�h�=li• ter• li G�•ir• G,:li.•li.•p, without direct draft. They are all' glazed with clear plate glass, one-quarter inch thick, set. against felt in steel casement frames. Special Medical and Dental Features The Planning•Commission devoted much time and study to the floors to he equipped especially for the Medical and Dental pro- fessions. Compressed air service, gas. ser- vice, arm control faucets on special medical lavatories, special run -outs for electrical ser- vice as well as for hot and cold water, are among the things included in these floors. The.spacing of the windows is ideal for . the economical division of space for these professions. A bountiful supply of Fresh air is insured by mechanical exhaust ventilation.' X -Ray equipment is on a separate trans- former insuring against variation in current from this service. Vault for the storage of X -Ray films, with all modern fire and fume protection is loca- ted on the pent house floor. Installation of medical and dental equip- ment is usually a difficult piece of work. Unless connections are in the proper spaces, the floor is disarranged, and there is a gen- eral disorder. In this building properly lo- cated pipe -runs simplify the placing of equip- ment. aGu-0",-Gc0IL!' •-9• Elevators That Glide The three elevators are of the latest gearless, self -leveling type. Elevator cabs are designed in the same motif as the main lobby. Rest rails, at a convenient height, are placed around the cab. Each car is equipped with electric fan insuring an abundance of fresh air. 47g., 'a�vc i►w ,a dk^.CctVd/ ✓nu��*�A�r��a�j.I�p" Via' ' I .

Though thecars move swiftly, the move- ment is so smooth that the passenger is scarcely aware that the elevator is in motion. One ride in these elevators will convince you that they represent the last word in ef- ficiency, safety, speed and comfort. t.

Larson Building will be the first building in the Pacific North- west to use the new improved type of flaw- less Browne window. Cork insulation on the roof is a point of perfection worthy of notice. Heat regulated by the Webster Automatic Moderator System. Constant, even water supply is main- tained through a storam'e :auk on the pent house floor. Venetian blinds, easy to adjust and con- venient to operate, permit control of light, sunshine and ventilation. Lighting fixtures, giving perfectly dif- fused light, without shadows, will he of spe- cial design to harmonize with the rest of the building. All floors have both mens and ladies' toilet rooms. These are finished in marble and tile and have every modern convenience, including the Sani-Dry warm air hand drier system and mechanical exhaust ventilation. IMO I= M M I I I M R I M MI '. IIIIII N 11111 too u I NE I mu mu m N um ' N ms I ENI I mu Office floors will be covered with a high- grade inlaid linoleum. A choice of designs or patterns can be. made to suit an individual decorative plan. The entire basement, service rooms as well as rentable area, has mechanical ventila- tion. All radiators and toilet bowls are hung on the walls. An electric freight elevator, from the alley entrance to the basement, is provided for the movement of merchandise, office fur- niture and equipment, doing away with the inconvenience of such traffic through the main lobby of the building. Shop fronts will be laid out to suit tenants with plate glass set in cast bronze frames, flush with the building surface. The eleventh or walk-up floor with its terrazzo floors and beamed ceilings has some of the most attractive space in the building. The elevators are located in the center of the building, shortening the walk to all offices. Space for a law library will be provided . if desired by the legal fraternity. • .4. Distinction An address . in the A. E. Larson Building will lend distinction evento tenants who will lend distinction to the Building. It is an achievement in completeness. A place where it is pleasant and profit- able to do business. A perfect day every day will mean thousands of. dollars saved in efficiency to the occupants of this Building. Management Policy It is the desire of the management to give the occupants of the building the very best service. To make this possible there is provided every modern device for controlling service features. Included among these is an in- dependent house telephone paging and alarm system reaching to all floor. and service rooms. Patronage will be solicited only from pro- fessional or business men who conform to the established standard of ethics for their profession or business. Tenants will be selected so that your business neighbor will be desirable. Give your business the valuable asset of prestige by locating in this building. Rentals Rental arrangements are being made at this time. The building will be ready for occupancy in the Springtime of 1931. Every foot of every floor is usable. We will devise a space saving Floor plan suitable to your needs. We will show how moderate our rentals are compared with the high type of offices and the first-class standard of ser- vice.
