OCTOBER 2, 2007
5. Audience Participation
Doug Carey, 2801 W. Chestnut, raised concerns about the possibility of a Walgreen's
store replacing the Sullivan Cleaners building. He commented that the Sullivan's
building is an example of buildings from the 1940's and if we lose it, it "shoots the idea of
historic preservation in the foot ". He knows that a lot of what happens is at the discretion
of the owners, but questioned if the Historic Preservation Committee can be effective
with regard to something like this. Is there any recourse? Mayor Edler assured him that
City staff would report back at a future meeting as to rights citizens have when a private
owner is moving in this direction. Mr. Carey suggested that if a Walgreen store does go
in at that location, at the very least, they should try to integrate the existing building into
their structure.
7: 00 P.M. -- PUBLIC HEARINGS / MEETINGS
6. Public Hearing and Consideration of an Ordinance annexing the West
Powerhouse II annexation area
Bill Cook, Community and Economic Development Director, explained that the
annexation is based on outside utility agreements and petitions representing 100% of
the total assessed value of the proposed annexation area. The annexation consists of
fifteen tax parcels with an assessed valuation of $1,085,050. It is approximately 61
acres with an estimated population of eleven. Staff recommends acceptance of Petition
No. 07 -05 for the West Powerhouse II Annexation and adoption of the ordinance.
• Mayor Edler opened the Public Hearing
No one came forward to speak.
• Mayor Edler closed the Public Hearing
The City Clerk read the ordinance by title; McCLURE MOVED AND BONLENDER
SECONDED TO PASS THE ORDINANCE. The motion carried by unanimous roll call
vote.
ORDINANCE NO. 2007 -46, AN ORDINANCE concerning annexation; annexing the
West Powerhouse II Annexation area to the City of Yakima; maintaining the current
zoning of the area; providing for notice to the WUTC of the City's intent to provide
residential refuse collection and disposal service; providing for assumption of the City's
current indebtedness by properties in the West Powerhouse II Annexation area; and
providing for an effective date of November 4, 2007.
7. Closed Record Public Hearing to consider the long plat of Sierra Vista
Doug Maples, Code Administration and Planning Manager, advised that on May 2, 2007
SBJ Joint Venture submitted an application to subdivide approximately 9.55 acres of R -1
single family zoned property into 30 single family lots. Public notice and environmental
review for the proposed plat was issued on June 27, 2007, and the comment period
ended July 17 with multiple comments received. A Determination of Non Significance
was issued on July 18 for the proposed plat stating no adverse environmental impacts
were identified. Staff review of this plat disclosed all standards of the subdivision and
3
35
OCTOBER 2, 2007
zoning ordinance and comprehensive plan were met and the transportation concurrency
review indicates there is sufficient capacity within the surrounding streets to absorb the
traffic from the proposed development. On August 9, 2007 the Hearing Examiner
conducted an open record public hearing where testimony was presented by parties
both for and against the development. On August 23 the Hearing Examiner issued his
written recommendations affirming that the proposed plat met all applicable standards
and laws subject to the conditions contained within the staff report. Therefore, staff is
recommending acceptance of the Hearing Examiner's recommendation.
Council Member Whitman asked questions about traffic flow expressing concern that
there is only one entrance /exit. It was noted that two were not required until a
development is for more than 30 lots; this one is not. In answer to a question as to why
the easement going out onto Chestnut was not going to be used as an exit, Mr. Maples
said it was not part of this plat; therefore a right -of -way dedication for an extension of
that road could not be required.
Assistant City Attorney Jeff Cutter reminded Council and the audience that this is a
closed record hearing; therefore, Council should not be hearing new testimony or new
evidence but must restrict consideration to the record that was reviewed by the Hearing
Examiner. Council can approve the recommendation, deny it, or send it back to the
Hearing Examiner with a request for additional information.
Council Members had no Ex Parte contact to report.
• Mayor Edler opened the Closed Record Public Hearing
Linda Kusske, 224 St. Andrews Place, spoke on behalf of the residents of Sierra Vista.
She raised points regarding safety, specifically noting the location of the closest fire
department. She also expressed concern for the children in the neighborhood due to the
anticipated increase in traffic. She suggested redesigning the development to include
two access points. Other residents who came forward to speak regarding concerns with
the limited access were Howard Prentice, Jeff Schlect, Marion Jones, as well as two
unidentified citizens.
Dennis Whitcher, Huibregtse Louman project engineer, said he has reviewed the
Hearing Examiner's report and feels it is correct. He stated that access is limited
because of non -owned property. All of the issues being raised were addressed
comprehensively by the Hearing Examiner. He concurs with the Hearing Examiner's
recommendations and findings in the report and believes it to be thorough and accurate.
Eric Herzog, also an engineer with Huibregtse Louman, repeated that the developer
does not own the property the citizens are suggesting be used for access. They
physically do not have the power to grant a right -of -way through there. Council Member
Bonlender asked if there had been any negotiations with the actual owners about a right -
of -way. Mr. Herzog did not know.
• Mayor Edler closed the Public Hearing

OCTOBER 2, 2007
Council continued discussion asking specific questions about various roads. Council
Member Whitman commented that, although it is legal on paper, she doesn't like the
safety issue. WHITMAN MOVED AND McCLURE SECONDED TO REMAND IT BACK
TO THE HEARING EXAMINER TO RE- EVALUATE THE POSSIBILITY OF
EASEMENTS IN EITHER THE NORTH OR SOUTH FOR ADDITIONAL EGRESS INTO
THE SUBDIVISION. Council Member Bonlender suggested that, if negotiations fail,
the Torrey Pines Lane should be considered as an option. Following further discussion,
City Attorney Paolella suggested that if Council feels the Hearing Examiner did not
adequately address public safety issues relating to access, they could remand it back to
him with specific instruction to reopen the record on the narrow issue of public safety
with regard to access and options that may be available to address that narrow issue.
The question was called for a vote on the motion. The motion carried by a 6 -1 vote;
Edler voting nay.
8. Public meeting to consider final plat approval for Phase 6 and 7 of the plat of
Cottonwood Grove
Doug Maples, described the Final Plat as part of a seven -phase subdivision located
south of Tieton Drive. Phases 6 and 7 have a total of 72 lots. The City Engineer's office
and the Planning Division have reviewed the final plat and affirmed conformance with all
terms and conditions of the preliminary approval. Staff recommends Council's approval.

CITY MANAGER'S REPORTS
9. Consideration of Resolution authorizing execution of a contract with People for
People in the amount of $15,000 to assist the 2 -1 -1 Information and Referral
System due to an unexpected budget shortfall
Bill Cobabe, Office of Neighborhood Development Services Manager, referred to a
recent presentation by People for People after which the Council directed them to the
Council Committee and, if it was approved by them, to bring it back to the full Council. In
response to Council Member Cawley's questions regarding why there was a shortfall,
Amy Peters, Program Manager for 2 -1 -1, said there was an oversight at the state level
through a miscommunication about whether the funding was to continue at the current
level or for service expansion. As a result, the statewide funding was cut by 60 %. Other
cities are also being asked to help cover the shortfall. The City Clerk read the resolution
5
37
OCTOBER 2, 2007
by title; McCLURE MOVED AND BONLENDER SECONDED TO ADOPT THE
RESOLUTION. Council Member Bonlender suggested this be included as part of
Council's legislative priorities. Council Member Lover, purporting to be the only
conservative on Council, described how at a recent committee meeting they voted down
a $10,000 roof for another non - profit organization. If we were to add that to this
$15,000, there would be $25,000 of non - federal funds that could be used to clean alleys
and assist with sewer hook -ups. The motion carried by a 6 -1 roll call vote; Lover voting
nay.
RESOLUTION NO. R- 2007 -132, A RESOLUTION authorizing the City Manager to
•
execute a contract with People for People in the amount of $15,000 to assist the 2 -1 -1

with Artifacts Consulting, Inc. to provide professional services related to a

is $12,000 the City successfully secured from the state to begin phase 1 of research and

ADOPT THE RESOLUTION. The motion carried by unanimous roll call vote.

services related to a Washington State Department of Archeology and Historic
Preservation funded architectural survey in the Barge Chestnut area.
11. Consideration of Resolution authorizing execution of an amendment to the
Automatic Technical Rescue Response Agreement between the City of Yakima
and other fire protection agencies
Fire Chief, Charlie Hines, clarified that this resolution would allow streamlining the
process of adding districts to the agreement by not requiring it come before the Council
each time a new district wants to join. The City Clerk read the resolution by title;
CAWLEY MOVED AND WHITMAN SECONDED TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION.
Council Member Lover questioned the way the agreement is written and suggested a
change. LOVER MOVED AND CAWLEY SECONDED TO AMEND THE RESOLUTION
TO EXCLUDE ITEM E UNDER SECTION 20. The motion failed by 6 -1, roll call vote;
Bonlender, Cawley, Edler, Johnson, and Whitman voting nay. LOVER MOVED AND
JOHNSON SECONDED TO CHANGE "CEO" TO "CITY COUNCIL'S
REPRESENTATIVE" (AN ELECTED). Chief Hines explained that if a city does not
have a Fire Chief or a decision maker, then the responsibility falls onto an elected
official. The motion failed by a 4 -3 roll call vote; Bonlender, Edler, McClure and Whitman
voting nay. The question was called for a vote on the original motion. The motion
carried by unanimous roll call vote.

ORDINANCES
23. Consideration of Ordinances authorizing Code officers a limited commission from
the Chief of Police:
A. Ordinance granting Building Code Inspectors, their manager, and supervisor
the power to issue infractions and criminal citations for the purpose of
enforcing the City of Yakima Building Code; and adding a new section
11.01.030 to Chapter 11.01 of the City of Yakima Municipal Code
Bill Cook, Community and Economic Development Director, explained that they are not
• changing the current process, but this would be a tool that could be used if they are
unsuccessful with all other efforts. They will continue to work with people who have
financial or timing issues. This would be for the 5% of the people who don't make any
effort to correct the problems. Tickets will be issued through the mail. Council Member
Lover raised concerns about it being a criminal violation and the potential of targeting the
poor. He also asked whether this would increase costs. Ken Harper, counsel for the
City, estimates he currently files about one case a year, but because it has to go through
Superior Court it is time consuming. For every one he files, he starts eight or nine and
that is also very time consuming. They believe they could resolve most of those through
this method, thereby making it more efficient. Council Member Bonlender commented
that neighborhood organizations have asked for this for many years and he sees it as an
efficient use of staff.
• Citizen Comments
Robert Owen, 614 N. 3rd Street, said he is opposed to this because it will result in "Code
Cops" and the last thing he wants to see is more cops on the street. Lynne Kittelson,
305 N. 9 Street, talked about problems experienced in her neighborhood with the lack
of compliance with codes. Ken Peterson 402 S. 9 Avenue, said he has a lot of issues
with providing police authority. He suggested allowing the Code Enforcement Officers to
draft the citations and then have a police officer sign it. Many of the correspondences he
has received already stated there was a $250 fine hanging over his head so he
questioned why citations were necessary.
Cynthia Martinez, Assistant City Attorney, described different methods that had been
considered. She pointed out that the powers given to the City are authorized by statute
and since there is no specific statute addressing this, there is a risk. However, other
jurisdictions have conferred police power for this type of violation. She said these points
had been discussed in the Public Safety Committee meetings.
Council Member Whitman left at 8:50 p.m.
The City Clerk read the ordinance by title; BONLENDER MOVED AND McCLURE
