5. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
Carol Masterson, 1114 South 32 Avenue, voiced concern about the
development at 32 Avenue and Nob Hill Boulevard and the effect it will have on
pedestrian safety. She said the red flag warning the presence of school children
is located very near to where the entrance to the gas station will be. She
suggested locating the flag to slow traffic down closer to 34 Avenue and Nob Hill
Boulevard. Mrs. Masterson requested the City Council oversee this situation
because she wasn't satisfied with the response she received from the City Traffic
Department when she brought it to their attention. Mrs. Masterson then
addressed a potential liability problem at Randall Park with missing fencing and
gates along the duck marsh and erosion along Wide Hollow Creek. She
recommended the placement of signs saying it is not a foot traffic area but a
natural area.
Emmet Svendson, 1640 South 17 Street, asked Council to address the traffic
hazard on 18 Street in the vicinity of Mead Avenue. The vehicles speed in that
area and don't come to a full stop at the intersection endangering the children
who walk to school. He suggested a traffic signal be installed. There was
discussion about alternatives such as lowering the speed limit on the Yakima
side. Council directed Police and Traffic Engineering look into the problem.
Bev Luby Bartz, 114 North 7 Street, addressed Item No. 14, the expansion of
the parking exemption area, that had been approved via the consent agenda.
She reiterated what she had said during the March 6,' 2001 public hearing that it
will be very detrimental to the residential area. She suggested amendments be
made to the exemption area to exclude certain residential areas. Council
Member Buchanan suggested moving the boundary to the south. It was the
consensus of the Council to have staff bring back a recommendation on Mrs.
Bartz's suggestion.
Lynne Kittelson, 305 North 9 Street, told Council that speeding is not a problem
limited to 18 Street and Mead Avenue; it is a problem in her neighborhood and
all over Yakima.

ORDINANCES
12. CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE AMENDING THE DOWNTOWN AREA
REDEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE (DARC) NAME TO YAKIMA DOWNTOWN
ASSOCIATION
Jar Arcand, Co- Chairman of the Downtown Area Redevelopment Committee
(DARC), 111 E. Yakima Avenue, explained that when he was first asked to join
DARC he had no idea what it was. The original name was appropriate because
of what they did in 1974, but today in 2001 they would prefer a more positive
image. The City Clerk read the ordinance by title; BUCHANAN MOVED AND
PUCCINELLI SECONDED TO PASS THE ORDINANCE. The motion carried by
unanimous roll call vote; Sims absent.
City Manager Zais thanked both Jar Arcand and Joe Mann for their efforts at the
recent National League of Cities meeting held in Washington D.C.
ORDINANCE NO. 2001 -12, AN ORDINANCE relating to changing the name of
the Downtown Area Redevelopment Committee to Yakima Downtown
Association.
13. CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 12 OF THE YAKIMA
MUNICIPAL CODE
• Staff introduces the revised Title 12 document
Kay Adams, City Engineer, said the Title 12 document is a dynamic document
that will change from year to year. He explained that some of the wording was
changed from the last copy as a result of the Legal Department's review. Council
Member Barnett asked if it would change the intent if the phrase "a development
milestone has been reached" was removed from page 5, section 12.01.060 line
118. Larry Peterson, Assistant City Attorney, explained the intent of the phrase
but agreed it could be deleted without any impact. Council Member Buchanan
questioned page 9, section 12.04.010 where it refers to "public water supply
lines ". Mr. Adams said that the word public is used specifically to keep it separate
from private requirements. Council Member Buchanan referred to the bottom of
Page 10 and the phrase "where feasible" asking who is going to determine what
is feasible. Council Member Barnett cited examples that were brought up at the
study session and how feasible would be at the discretion of the engineer.
Council Member Puccinelli stated he didn't like the requirement for bicycle lanes if
4
1.71
APRIL 3, 2001
there is reconstruction. Mr. Adams said each project would be independent and
considered separately as to the requirement of bicycle lanes. Council Member
Mattson pointed out that the cost for bicycle lanes in the scheme of a
reconstruction is extremely small.
• Citizens comment on changes
Bill Hambleton, 615 South 32n Avenue, suggested that the proposed street
classification of neighborhood collector be applied to new raw ground only and
that it exclude properties located in zoning classifications of CBD, CBDS, SCC,
and LCC. He asked why the city had a requirement for the new neighborhood
collector classification with a 60 foot right -of -way? Mr. Adams described the
•
neighborhood collector and commented that we do not currently have a street
with that designation. The designation is planned to be used as a future tool. He
noted that collector arterial streets can change and there needs to be flexibility to
change designations as we go along. Mr. Adams explained the right -of -way
requirements of 80 feet for arterials stating this is a city requirement not federal
that was adopted as a means to put in utilities outside of the sidewalk.
Lynne Kittelson, 305 North 9 Street asked how the neighborhoods will get
notified prior to "when feasible" being invoked. She said the sidewalks being put
right next to the curb in her neighborhood was done without advance notification.
City Manager Zais explained the development review process that takes place
and includes public comment, public hearings, and ultimately goes to the City
Council. He said the City goes to great lengths to publish and produce in the
packet all of the projects that are pending. Mrs. Kittelson said she had a problem
with line 273 on page 11 where it refers to a parking strip. She feels that a
parking strip is not an acceptable buffer. After discussion, MATTSON MOVED
AND BUCHANAN SECONDED TO STRIKE THE WORDS "OR PARKING
STRIP" FROM LINE 273. The motion carried by 5 -0 voice vote; Puccinelli
abstained; Sims absent.
• Hearing Examiner comments
Phil Lamb, Yakima Hearing Examiner, commented that the City is requiring
barrier curbs and not allowing rolled curbs on local access streets. He said
Yakima County has been allowing them for a number of years with good success.
He agreed it was beneficial to give the City Engineer some flexibility and asked
what the appeal process was. City Manager Zais said this was discussed in part
at a study session. If there is a disagreement with the City Engineer, it will go
through a process, including the City Manager's office, and then can ultimately
end up in the appeal process. He said more often than not the issues are
resolved.
• Conclusion
The issue of rolled curbing was discussed. City Engineer Adams said rolled
curbs are still within the City standards. PUCCINELLI MOVED AND
BEAUCHAMP SECONDED TO ADD "EXCEPT ROLLED MOUNTABLE
CURBS" TO LINE 341 ON PAGE 14. The motion carried by unanimous voice
vote; Sims absent. With respect to appeals, Assistant City Attorney Peterson said
5
172
APRIL 3, 2001
it would be possible for staff to consider improving the overall ordinance by
including some language in the future regarding appeals. The City Clerk read the
resolution by title; BUCHANAN MOVED AND MATTSON SECONDED TO PASS
THE ORDINANCE AS AMENDED. The motion carried by 4 -2 roll call vote;
Barnett and Puccinelli voting nay; Sims absent.

QUASI- JUDICIAL PUBLIC HEARINGS
16. CLOSED RECORD PUBLIC HEARING ON PETITION TO VACATE A
PORTION OF RIGHT -OF -WAY ON STEWART AVENUE EAST OF LANDON
AVENUE, REQUESTED BY SHIELDS BAG AND PRINTING
Bruce Benson, Associate City Planner, said that a public hearing on this request
was held by the Hearing Examiner on December 14, 2000. He explained that
Stuart Street is a dead end street and the property is owned by the petitioner. At
the public hearing the Hearing Examiner took exception to staffs
recommendation regarding compensation. Staff's recommended compensation
was $3,682 per the compensation policy of half the appraised value. The
hearing examiner in his recommendation changed that compensation value to
$1,000 which would be $0.32 a square foot.

APRIL 3, 2001
• Mayor Place opened the Public Hearing
Derek LaFrambois, 1009 Rock Avenue, explained how they arrived at $1,000.
He said this property was donated to the city in 1937 and there was no record of
there being any payment for the property. Although he admitted the street was a
paved road with curbs and gutters, he'said that the Hearing Examiner had
explained that there was no record of public funds maintaining the street. He
said they felt it was equitable to pay $500 for the property and $500 for the
upkeep and maintenance that had been done to the property.
Council Member Puccinelli noted that the assessed value of the property was
$2.30 a square foot, the City asked for compensation at $1.15 a square foot, and
the Hearing Examiner recommended compensation at $0.32 a square foot.
• Mayor Place closed the Public Hearing
PUCCINELLI MOVED AND MATTSON SECONDED TO ALLOW THE RIGHT
OF WAY VACATION BUT TO HOLD THE PRICE AT THE ORIGINAL
COMPENSATION. The motion carried by unanimous roll call vote; Sims absent.
17. CLOSED RECORD PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE HEARING
EXAMINER'S RECOMMENDATION FOR REZONE OF PROPERTY AT 3506
RIVER ROAD REQUESTED BY DR. LLOYD BUTLER
• Staff reviews rezone request
Bruce Benson, Associate Planner, explained that Dr. Butler has requested a
rezone of approximately six acres from R -2 to R -3. He said this was a master
application for consideration of Class 3 review for public offices in an R -3 zone.
The Hearing Examiner recommended the rezone be approved and that the Class
3 for the business offices be approved as well.
• Declarations
Mayor Place and Council Member Buchanan declared they had visited the site.
• Mayor Place opened the public hearing
No one came forward to speak in opposition of the rezone.
Lloyd Butler, 1214 North 20 Avenue, gave a status report on the property.
They are in the process of clearing the land and have donated a house to the
City that will become a Habitat for Humanity house. They plan to develop an
assisted living center and office buildings sinj ilar in quality and appeal to the
Chesterley Park Plaza. The entire street fro y tage will be developed and
improved. Mayor Place noted that the assisted living care facility will be located
next to an M -1 zone and asked if it would be a problem if someone built
something in there that is noisy? Dr. Butler said the property doesn't look like it's
favorable for a manufacturing facility but he is aware of that potential.

BUCHANAN MOVED AND PUCCINELLI SECONDED TO ACCEPT THE
HEARING EXAMINER'S RECOMMENDATION AND DIRECT LEGAL TO
PREPARE THE APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION. The motion carried by
unanimous roll call vote; Sims absent.
18. CLOSED RECORD PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER APPEAL OF HEARING
EXAMINER'S DECISION RELATING TO HOURS OF OPERATION OF
BUSINESS LOCATED AT SOUTH 32N AVENUE AND NOB HILL BLVD.,
REQUESTED BY TERRY KLEPPIN
• Appearance of fairness issue
Council Member Barnett asked whether or not there was an appearance of
fairness issue. City Attorney Paolella said, as a result of a letter dated 3/23/01
suggesting the appeal be transferred to another jurisdiction, they researched this
issue. Where City government, as an entity, owns land, case law provides that it
is not necessary to have the entire city council disqualified. Under the doctrine of
necessity even if the council members as a block were considering recusing
themselves, that would render the tribunal unable to consider the matter and the
council members would have to come back out of necessity. He said there is no
need to consider a transference to some other body as there is no other body;
therefore, it is appropriate to hear this matter.
• Disclosures
Council Member Puccinelli said he knows the area and knows Craig Schultz, but
doesn't feel that is a disqualifier. The remaining Council members declared no
contact.
• Staff reviews appeal
Bruce Benson, Associate Planner, said this is an appeal of the Hearing
Examiner's decision of a Class 3 use for a gas station /convenience store to be
open after 10 p.m. and before 6 a.m. The hearing was held on December 29,
2000 and the Hearing Examiner's decision was issued on February 13, 2001. In
the Hearing Examiner's written decision he recommended that the gas station be
permitted to operate after 10:00 p.m. This is the sole item being appealed. Mr.
Benson advised that the Hearing Examiner reviewed land uses along Nob Hill
Boulevard and other gas station /convenience stores' hours of operation. There
would be a fairly substantial buffer created by the store and a six foot solid -
masonry type wall. The majority of the property that will be used in this project
belongs to Mr. Smasne, however, in order to create the site plan there is
additional property that does currently belong to the City that will be included
purchased and included.

APRIL 3, 2001
• Opened public hearing
Mayor Place opened the public hearing.
Terry Kleppin, 1110 South 33 Avenue, and who also owns 3213 and 3215
Vincenta, said the other convenience stores on Nob Hill Boulevard shouldn't
have been considered by Mr. Lamb as they were not subject to this Class 3
review but were grandfathered in. He acknowledged suspicions about this
decision because the Hearing Examiner, during the hearing, had indicated that
he was possibly going to reduce Mr. Smasne's requested hours. Then when the .
decision came out, he was given 24 hours. Mr. Kleppin commented that at
night, even with the wall, the two -story residences will be subjected to the
lighting. He expressed concern about the noise and affect on neighbors' sleep.
He then advised that when he filed the appeal letter he was told it would go out to
all parties of record yet people who signed the petition did not get the notification.
As a result he felt their right to appeal had been short- circuited.
Gordon Chin, 615 N. 65 Avenue, owns rental duplexes on the south side of this
project. He made the point that his rentals are his business and by allowing the
gas station to be open after 10 p.m. there will be noise, his tenants are going to
be unhappy and will move out, and that will negatively affect his business.
Dale Smasne, 824 Zillah W. Road, Zillah, said the hours he originally asked for
were 5 a.m. to 1 a.m. with a drive -up window. He was told at the time that he
probably would not get the 5 a.m. to 1 a.m. but would get 5 a.m. to midnight. He
said he was just as surprised as Mr. Chin to find out it was approved for a'24
hour operation. The drive up window was denied. The other thing he wanted to,
do was leave the lights on so customers could come in and use a credit card for
gas 24 hours a day using the new computerized dispenser. But he hadn't
planned for the store to be open 24 hours. Mr. Smasne described the layout of
the project and the attempt to avoid car headlights shining directly toward the
neighboring houses as well as keeping the noise level down. He also committed
to using shielded state -of- the -art lighting to avoid it being dispersed into the
neighbors' properties. Mr. Smasne agreed that the flag was too close to the
intersection and that it should be moved closer to 34 Avenue.
Jan Kleppin, 1110 South 33 Avenue, reiterated the inconsistency of the
Hearing Examiner when he indicated he was feeling the hours should be the less
and then turned around and gave 24 hours. She spoke strongly against the 24-
hour time and the impact to the neighborhood.
There was discussion about an option of closing the store earlier but leaving the
pumps available 24 hours. Mr. Smasne was amenable to that but requested the
drive -up window in trade. Mr. Chin said the 24 -hour pumps were not acceptable
to him. Mrs. Kleppin said she would need to consider that.
Pat Carroll, 1115 South 34 Avenue, commented on the light issue saying the
trees in the area are deciduous and will not block any light in the winter
9
176.
APRIL 3, 2001
Jan Woolen, 1106 South 31 Avenue, gave some information about the Texaco
station that had been on this property previously. Although not opposed to the
project, she is concerned about the hours and suggested there be quiet hours for
the residents from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Carol Masterson, 1114 South 32 Avenue, asked questions about the sale of
the city -owned property related to this project. Mrs. Masterson was reminded
that this was a closed record appeal and could only deal with the issue of hours
of operation. She then spoke about the increase in noise that will result from this
project and how that will be a detriment to the quality of life in the neighborhood.
There was discussion regarding the growth from orchard to residential to
commercial flavor of the neighborhood.
Mr. Chinn spoke again saying he thought they could compromise, he said he
doesn't oppose the gas station but would like to have some quiet sleep time at
night for his tenants.
Terry Kleppin closed the public comment section by stating he is not opposed to
the project but does not feel the Class 3 use for a 24 -hour operation is
acceptable.
• Public hearing closed
Mayor Place closed the public hearing.
After discussing the potential of a development agreement and the potential of a
compromise, BEAUCHAMP MOVED AND BUCHANAN SECONDED TO
TABLE THE ISSUE UNTIL APRIL 17, 2001. The motion carried by a 4 -2 roll
call vote, Puccinelli and Mattson voting nay; Sims absent.

would take to accomplish the review. The motion failed by a 3 -3 voice vote,
Puccinelli, Place and Mattson voting nay; Sims absent.
• Ingress /Egress for proposed 32 Avenue project
Carol Masterson asked Council to take action to allow right -hand turns only out of
the proposed business at 32 Avenue and Nob Hill Boulevard onto 32 Avenue
and paint an 18" yellow stripe onto 32 Avenue to prevent the traffic turning left
into and out of that business. She also requested that the traffic in the alley
behind the business be limited to westbound only.
