6. PUBLIC MEETING TO CONSIDER HEARING EXAMINER RECOMMENDATION ON
REZONE AND LONG PLAT FOR PROPERTY LOCATED IN VICINITY OF 40TH
AVENUE AND KERN WAY, REQUESTED BY DEP PROPERTIES
This being the time set for the _public meeting, Joan
Davenport, Supervising Associate Planner, stated the purpose
of the public meeting is to consider a master application for
the rezone of seven acres owned by Delmar Pearson and the
subdivision plat for that property located on the east side
of 40th Avenue, north of Kern Road. The preliminary long
plat will create 11 lots. The applicant has stated if the
rezone is not approved, then he would not be interested in
the subdivision. If the preliminary plat is approved, the
applicant has five years to bring back a final plat. The
Hearing Examiner recommends approval, subject to conditions;
the staff recommends approval of the rezone and preliminary
plat, with conditions. She commented that since the rezone
is not project specific, no specific uses are under review at
this time. The Hearing Examiner's recommendation differs
from the staff's SEPA recommendation. SEPA recommendation
No. 2, allow no widening or improvements to North 40th
Avenue, differs from the Hearing Examiner's recommendation to
require a left turn lane for Castlevale. The SEPA. mitigation
recommendation No. 5, requires dedication of right- of-way
along North 40th Avenue for a total of 50 feet from the
center line of the street, and differs from the Hearing
Examiner's recommendation to not require additional rightiof-
way on 40th Avenue. Council. Member Puccinelli inquired if
40th Avenue is wide enough to accommodate a left -turn lane if
additional right -of -way is not acquired. Shelley Willson,
Supervising Traffic Engineer, responded that it is not wide
enough, and Ms. Davenport reiterated that the future
alignment of Fechter Road is not a consideration today.
James Carmody, representing Mr. and Mrs. Pearson, stated they
have been working on this project, located on the east side
of 40th Avenue, for over a year. There is an agreement in
place with the other property owners to fully improve Kern
Way. The developer is willing to pay for the turn pocket on
40th Avenue. It is important for safety purposes, especially
during winter conditions and will improve the functionality
of the street. He further commented that Mr. Pearson's
engineering consultants have recommended this improvement.
He stated they agree with the Hearing Examiner's
recommendation, but requested clarification of Paragraph E,
on page 18. This condition requires a dedication of right -
of -way from 40th to Powerhouse for the extension of
Castlevale. The Pearson's are willing to dedicate right -of-
way; however, they don't own the canal property.

AUGUST 6, 1996
Bill Huibregtse, engineer for the developer, stated that the
street width on 40tY '' Avenue allows for four 12' travel lanes
and a 12' left turn lane, with sidewalk on both sides; for a
total right -of -way of 60'. The proposal is to accommodate
the left turn south bound to east bound, with striping to
accommodate a north bound left turn to the west in the
I/ future. The Pearson's are willing to spend $100,000 to
construct the left turn storage lanes at the new intersection
of Castlevale and 40th Avenue. He suggested that the Council
use that money to get state grants to put in a left turn lane
on 40th Avenue from Powerhouse to Fruitvale.
Bill Almon, Almon Realty - Commercial, broker of record,
stated the Pearsons have been trying to sell this property
for quite some time. They can't do anything until we know
what the future use of the property will be. There are sales
pending on several lots, depending upon the zoning. He urged
Council to accept the recommendation of the Hearing Examiner.
• Delmar Pearson, 2101 St. Helens Street, stated this property
has been in his family since 1906. He wants to improve Kern
Way and all the traffic engineers have recommended a left
turn lane on 40th Avenue and Castlevale. He is willing to
dedicate right -of -way from his property to construct
Castlevale to Powerhouse Road.
Larry Mercer, Fechter Road resident, stated he is not really
against the project. He stated his observation when driving
40th Avenue is that the left turn pockets are inadequate. He
is concerned about the new access to 40th Avenue, on the
hill.
Dennis Kohler, 205 South ` Avenue, stated he is
representing the Nazarene Church on 40th Avenue. They are
also concerned about the traffic on 40th Avenue. They are
about 1.5' .short of having the required right-of-way .to have
a left turn lane onto their property. They hope this
situation can be rectified in the future because the traffic
blocks access to their property.
There being no other citizen present wishing to speak about
this issue, the public meeting was closed. It was MOVED BY
BARNETT, SECONDED BY BERGER, TO ACCEPT THE HEARING EXAMINER
RECOMMENDATION SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS AS HE HAS ENUMERATED
AND, IF NECESSARY, SOME STAFF CLARIFICATION OF THE ISSUE THAT
MR. CARMODY RAISED. Mr. Carmody clarified that Mr. Pearson
will be required to dedicate right -of -way along his property
up to the Naches - Cowiche Ditch. The question was called for
a vote on the motion. The motion carried by unanimous voice
vote; Beauchamp and Sims absent. The Legal Department will
prepare legislation for Council adoption at a future meeting
date.

7. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
A. PRESENTATION BY CHUCK KLARICH REGARDING TRI- COUNTY WATER
RESOURCE AGENCY FUNDING REQUEST
Chuck Klarich, Director of Tri- County Water Resource
Agency, requested a $1,000 contribution for a study which
will show the economic value of additional water and what
that will do for the Yakima River Basin area. The study
will cost $69,964, plus an additional $15,000 if they
have the funds to do a more elaborate study. Over
$40,000 has been raised thus far, with an additional
$50,000 worth of requests pending a response. Charlie
De la Chappell, Storage Water Committee, spoke about ithe
devastating losses incurred when they were reduced; to
one -third of the normal water supply in 1994. It was
MOVED BY •BERGER, SECONDED BY BARNETT, TO CONTRIBUTE
$1,000 FOR THIS STUDY. The motion carried by unanimous
voice vote; Beauchamp and Sims absent. City Manager Zais
stated staff will bring back a professional services
agreement for formal adoption.
Richard Andring, 203 South 8th Avenue, objected, to
shuttle service to the 4th of July Celebration being
offered, while the fixed Transit system was not operating
that day for citizens who do not have a vehicle. 1 He
liked the bicycle racks recently installed on some of the
buses but wondered about the times when the two bike
racks would be in use when a third bicyclist wanted'; to
utilize the transit service.
8. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING MINIMUM CONTENT
REQUIREMENTS FOR SITE PLANS (CONTINUED FROM JULY 16, 1996)
Leonard Hall, Code Administration Manager, commented that
this resolution has been reviewed by the Council Community
and Economic Development Committee and a group of concerned
citizens. The document has been revised since the previous
submission to Council on July 16th. Staff intends this to' be
a checklist which would be sent to the developers in Yakima
to show items which might be applicable to their projects.
Council Member Barnett, who had requested this item be
removed from the Agenda two weeks ago, commented he had
suggested that the residential applications be separated from
the commercial applications since five or six of the items
don't apply towards residential. Mr. Hall stated they would
be developing this into a checklist to be used in the
development field. Resolution No. R -96 -91 having been read
by title, it was MOVED BY BARNETT, SECONDED BY KLINGELE, TO
I/
ADOPT THE RESOLUTION. The motion carried by unanimous roll
call vote; Beauchamp and Sims absent.-

27. CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE AMENDING THE MUNICIPAL CODE
REGARDING THE COMPOSITION OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
ADVISORY COMMITTEE (CONTINUED FROM JULY 2, 1996)
Glenn Valenzuela, Director of Community and Economic
Development, spoke about the process of developing this
ordinance and the meetings held subsequent to the July !2nd
Council meeting. The requirement of 70% of the committee
being comprised of citizens who live in or do business inithe
target area and the requirement of term limits and the change
of name to Neighborhood Development Advisory Committee were
discussed by the Committee. The Committee did not address
the issue of residency for the entire committee. Council
would have to provide direction on that issue. Council
Member Barnett stated his concern is the dramatic change from
what was presented to Council on July 2nd. He statedlthe
structure for the committee is totally unacceptable. Council
Member. Puccinelli stated that the members of this volunteer
organization are chosen by the Council. He stated thati70%
of the membership would be from that residential area,
-s-
AUGUST .6, 1996

allowing other citizens with a strong interest in that
neighborhood to pa on .,,the committee. He further
commented that if there isn't a minority or handicapped
citizen from that area, they could still have representation
on the committee. Council Member Berger supported the
proposal submitted . the citizen in which it requires that
the members must reside by in the target area. Council Member
Klingele expressed his concern that the committee would no
longer be restricted to citizens of Yakima. Carol
Fedrickson, 2903 3rd Street, Union Gap, stated she is the
current representative for . the elderly on the committee and
works at the Office of Aging and Long Term Care. She
commented this is an advisory committee only which makes
recommendations to the Council. She stated that through her
job she visits a lot of people residing in the target area.
She stated the same is true for the disabled representative
serving on the committee., Hector Franco,. 24 .South 3rd
Avenue, recommended .Council. restrict the minority and
disabled representatives to be citizens of the target area.
And so the debate continued between Council Member Puccinelli
and Council Member Barnett. Bev Luby Bartz, 114 North 7th
Street, commented that living in the area does make a
difference as to your experiences. This ordinance does not
require that 70% of the membership must be a resident of ,the
area; it is a resident or business representative; and not
necessarily a business owner. Betty Gaudette, 701 North 7th
Street, member of the Community Development Advisory
Committee, stated she is in favor of the name change to
Neighborhood. Development Advisory Committee. She is also in
favor of the target residency requirement for the minority
and disabled representatives. Bob Mason, 612 North 2nd
Street, spoke in favor of the residency requirement. Dixie
Kracht, Block Grant Managery;_` that currently there
are only nine active members on the committee and if the
residency requirement is passed, three of those members would
be disqualified from serving on the committee. Council
Member Barnett stated he needs time to evaluate the
information received and suggested that Council - be given all
three of the proposals, plus the current ordinance.
Ms. Bartz commented that some of the current members are in
violation of the current ordinance residency requirements.
It was MOVED BY KLINGELE, SECONDED BY PUCCINELLI, TO HAVE
THIS BROUGHT BACK TO COUNCIL ON AUGUST 20TH. The motion
carried by unanimous voice vote; Beauchamp and Sims absent.
