SPECIAL MEETING — URBAN AREA PLAN
JULY 27, 1981
The City Council met in session on this date at 1:30 P.M. in the
Council Chambers of City Hall, Yakima, Washington for a special
meeting called by Council members Bruce Crest and Don Hinman for the
purpose of discussing the Urban Area Plan. Council members present
were Mayor Betty L. Edmondson, Henry Beauchamp, Lynn Carmichael,
Bruce Crest, Shirley Doty and Don Hinman. Council member Lynn Buchanan
absent.
Larry Wright, Planning Manager, stated that at the next joint meeting
with the County Commissioners we will be discussing development
standards, which the Commissioners felt to be an important issue
towards ultimate resolution of the boundary. Mayor Edmondson inquired
if the area that Union Gap wants is included in this map. Mr. Wright
stated that it is not, as staff wants to discuss that in a different
context. Be made a correction on the second page under suburban
access road to change Hie 22 feet asphalt mat to 26 feet. Be
cautioned that there may be some discussion about this at the joint
meeting because this was not discussed with the County staff. The II/
�
City and County engineering staffs met and are making these proposals.
One major concession of the City relates to sidewalks and path plans.
He stated that they tried to establish an easily outlined boundary.
Mayor Edmondson expressed her concern about the sidewalk requirements
proposed, regarding possible future requests for sidewalks for school
children. Mr. Wright stated that that was the City staff's position
and he would like to have policies establishing the position of
sidewalks in the sidewalk plan. He stated that this map shows where
the majority of the high density development occurred and those areas
that will be hard to serve in an urban capacity. Discussion followed
regarding the bicycle path plan and street widt6s. It was the general
consensus of the Council to accept this report as recommended.
Council member Hinman asked about a possible time table to lift the
suspension of the outside utility agreements. Mr. Wright stated that
upon the Urban Area Plan adoption being in process, it would seem
reasonable to consider lifting the suspension, as long as the major
issues are resolved. He stated that that could possibly happen in
September, depending on how fast some of these issues can be resolved.
The meeting was adjourned at the hour of 2;40 P.M.
