The Honorable Larry Matthews City Hall Yakima, Washington Dear Mr. Matthews: Enclosed herewith is a letter that I have just written to each of our State Senators and Legislators at Olympia in connection with the Area Beautification Program of the Yakima Chamber of Commerce with which project I believe you and the other members of the City Commission are generally familiar. I urge that if you are not fully familiar with the details of this project that you make inquiry and inform yourself and the Commission so that whatever you can do toward bringing about a development of the river area in question may be d)ne before other development renders the cost excessive or. prohibitive. Please do not consider this letter as one that is written in a sudden burst of good will toward community activity without considerable prior thought and study. While I do not pose as an expert on all the issues in- volved, ,I have at least served for about a year with the Yakima Chamber Area Beautification Committee and not infrequently have sat in on numerous meetings concerned with the feasibility of the project. I have had the pleasure of discussing the project in some considerable detail with Mr. Pyle;: D'_stridt:_Engineer:for the State Highway Department for this district, one of the State Highway Commission members, members of the City and County Planning Commissions, Mayor Alderson and yourself of the City Commission. I have also taken time to discuss tha project in some detail with various business mega of the community and adjacent valley towns and can accurately state that all of those with whom I have had any opportunity to discuss the matter are enthusiastic about it as an economically sound project deserving of prompt city and county action, Solely by way of identification you are reminded that I am a member of the Kiwanis Club and for the last year I have headed a committee'reprer senting that organization which is on record as urging positive action on this project, a member of the Yakima School Board, a member of the Yakima Chamber Area:.,Beautification Committee as well as being a practicing attorney in Yakima. Each of the organizations mentioned favors prompt positive action in any way possible to corral this area for development as a beauty and recreational area as soon as at all feasible. Thank you much fb.r anything that you can do. Yours very truly, GEORGE W. WILKINS The following is a copy of the letter mentioned above as sent to the State Senators and Legislators. You have, I believe, -been posted on the current project being widely pushed in Yakima and surrounding communities for the development and beautification of the Yakima River area lying between the Moxee Bridge and the Terrace Heights Bridge bordered on the east side of the river for a part of the distance by the Sportsments State Park and to be bordered on the west side of the rifrer by the new Interstate Highway By -Pass. As you know, this is a high priority project of the Yakima Chamber of Commerce and it is widely endorsed by business men in Yakima and is particularly worthy of your attention at this session of the Legislature. This letter is being written to you at this time in appreciation of efforts that I understand'you have already made and to encourage your further efforts toward an allocation of state funds available to the State Parks Program for use by the State Parks Committee in extending the Sportsments State Park to include the area along the river between the two bridges above mentioned. It is my understanding that our section of the state is in line for application of State Parks funds during the coming* biennium. Certainly there is no project in this part of the state that is more worthy of consideration than this particular river improvement area. Certainly you are aware of the benefits that would - follow to the Yakima Valley if this project can ultimate ly be completed in providing natural and developed beauty along the course of the river and of the new interstate By -Pass. Certainly its importance in supporting property values is evident as well as the incident benefits to the citizens of Yakima, Terrace Heights and nearby Valley citizens. Please continue to do everything that you can to nail down -State Parks funds for use during the coming biennium in acquiring the property in question as an extension of the present SportsmenIs State Park. Mantis of us in Yakima, individuals and organizatio are also urging our County Planning Commission to zone the property surrounding Sports - men +s State Park in prohibiting industrial expansion of the overall area involved on both sides of the river so that ultimate acquisition may be held to a minimum of cost. We are also urging City Officials here to cooperate within the limits of their authority and means with the State Highway Department in present acquisitions of property on the west side of the fiver adjacent to the new Highway By -Pass. Your cooperation and efforts in connection with the above will be appreciated by the vast majority of the citizens of the Yakima Valley for many years to come. Yours very truly, GWW/b GEORGE W. WILKINS 1 1 1 �I 44-3 FEBRUARY 4, 1959 The following is a letter received by Mr. Mathews from the Lions Club on Area Beautifi- cation: Mr. Larry Matthews Commissioner of Public Works City Hall Yakima, Washington Dear Larry: I think you know that for 37 years the Yakima Lions Club has been in the forefroni of Parks & Parks & Playgounds development for the City of Yakima. Now we see an opportunity for someone to do more at one time for the entire Central Washington area than we have been able to accomplish with all our past effort. That is the development of the area on both sides of the-Yakima River between the Terrace Heights and Moxee bridges. While this area is in transition and development by reason of the State Highway By -Pass, we sincerely hope that no means may be overlooked by which the land T mentioned may be acquired by the State of Washington, Yakima County', and the City of Yakima, so that it may be available for recreational.purposes when funds can be found. The Board of the Yakima Lions Club has authorized this letter so that you, and ,through you the City Commission and the City Planning Commission, may be apprised of our interest. We hope these lands may be acquired at this time, and assure you. of our whole- hearted support of any effort you. may be able to initiate leading to their acquisition for community recreational purposes The matter of funds and taxes are, rightfully, now very much in everyone�s mind. As to the land on the East side of the river, we urge action now only because wa understand that the State Park Commission has funds ayailable after their opera- tional expenses are paid which can be allotted for the purchase of additional park sites. We hope that the State Park Commission may see the desirability of acquiring now that land North of the present SportsmenIs State Park to Terrace Heights Way on the East side of the Yakima River, and that local bodies can acquire the land on the West side. Very truly yours, Yakima Lions Club Chet. Hatfield Secretary i The -following is a letter to the City Commission from Larry Mathews: Memo to: City Commission From: Larry Mathews, Public Works Commissioner The Chamber of Commerce Beautification Committee has recommended that the "Riverside Area" located between the Moxee and Terrace Hgts. Bridges be developed for recreational purposes. Various civic groups and individuals have been con- tacted and the general attitude was one of enthusiastic support. The attached letter'kabove) is indicative of this feeling. Preliminary plans are being developed now. The City of Yakima can help by adopt- ing this project as a part of the comprehensive plan for the future development of the city. The cost of acquiring part of this land whould be reduced if the city would enter into an agreement with the State of Washington Highway Department to participate in the acquisition of land along th,e ,proposed freeway route. The city could arrange to purchase the pieces of property outside of the state right -of -way re- o,uirements. The saving to both the City and the State would be in avoiding severance damages. .I respectfully recommend that the City Commission authorize the City Engineer to make a preliminary investigation of this proposal and that he report to the City Commission by February 11 the results of his investigation.
