5. Motion Consideration: Appeal AT'I' 04-05 - Carv Driskel I
Deputy City Attorney ]arishell cxplairicd the backoround leading to this appesl, as per his August 23,
2005 Request for Council Action Form; that 11'rogress Properties fled a Motion to Taismiss v1s. Viljaneri's
appeal suiting the anpcal did not rneet the requirecnents adopted by ordinance. A2r. 17riskeLl explained that
each party shall have five minutes to present Cheir arcuments, with the moviog parly Progress Properties
going fiirst. Af'tcr considering the tirguments, if Council determined the motion should be granted, ivlr.
Driskell said that would end the appeal for Ib1s. Viljanen, her remaining remedy would be to appeal the
matler to the Superior Court, and Mr. T)riskell said he would draft the appropriate order tn bring back to
Council within aweek or nvo. By contrast, iVli-. Driskell ex_plained that if Council determined-dhe appeal
requirements were met; Council would nccd to set a hearing date to allow arguinent of the merits of the
unclcrlying appesl. It «<as determined Mr. Driskell would be the timekeeper fnr the fve minute oratioris.
Mark Roecks, 103 N Locust 1Zoad, Spokane, Washingnnn, 99206: Nfr. Roeeks said lie speaF:s toniaht as
IEgaI counsel for Procg'ess Propcrties, LP; that on May 12; 2005 public testimony,%vas taken on the rezone
application; a determination was made, which was appealed July 5, 2005 by the iippellant. Mr. Roecks
said Chal on Julv 19, 2005, Progress Properties filed a vfotion to Dismiss the appeal; that Spol:ane Valley
Municipal CAde 10.35.150 provides certain things that must be contained in an appeal, iind "thaC such
written appeal shall allege specific errors of lativ or fiact, speci .fic procedural errors or errors in the
intcrprctation of the Comprehensive Plan or developer regulation; upon written appeal being filed within
the time allotted and upon payment of fees as reyuired, a hearing will be held iri accord wixh the appeal
procedures adopted by the City Couneil." vlr. Roecks stated he quqted fi•om vluiiiaipal Code 10.35.150
~ that was in place at the time this appeal was filed July 5, 2005. NIr. Itoecks stated that thereaRer, a more
comprehensive stah,te was adoptecl by the City of Spakane Valley, essentially saying the same thing, "a
separat:e and concise state►ncnt of each error alleged to have been committed" (again he stated, this was
referring to what an appeail musC eontFjlll); and "a sep<trale and eoncise statement of Cact upon which the
-
appellant relie.s to sustain the statement of error." Mr. Roecks stated that he believes a review oC the
appeal will show it only contains a disagreemenC anci t.here are no specitic allegations of ariy error of law
Ar error in interpretation of any code or stahrte.
, Councilmember Denenny asked when the building is anticipated to begin; and ATr. Roecks sUited thiiC
prior to this appeal being Fled, the builder was in a posit:ion to start opcration for the developrnent; and
this appeal has pirt the building on holcl. Councilmember Denenny askecl confirrnation that if the appcal
went throush, it would meari anotlier delay of approxunately 45 days. Mr. R.oecks stated that any more
delays would be prejudicial to his client; that a review of the appeal doeument will show thaC il C10e5 no[ ,
conGrm witli the laws of the City of Spoksne Valley as to what a valid appeal should have, and is merely
a stat.ement thric the apnellant is unllappy witti the results.
I-iilleri A. Viljanen, 15212 E. Valleyway; she stateci that the properey as reeiCetl already abuts the property
of'dhe developer party on the south side; aaid she statad that she wanted to clarify that she does nnt believe
that vlr. Roeeks t►as mcrit to dismiss her case at this point, and she asks Council to review that and does
not necessarily nccd ari answer toniglit; she states that she is not willing to settle for minimum standards
in that area, or hiQh density zoning up to 22 units,,although she realizes the dev-eloper is loaking at 16
units. Nis. Viljanen said that she may have to take this to the legislature and perhaps change some laws;
that she desires tlie developer make a commuuity center or. mini-park or some other type of development,
of whiclt she stated she and other neighbors would approve a.s was cited in their V1ay 12, 2005 public
meetirig. She said that if the letters contained in the reeord are read, they al) oppose that patticular
develoNtnent in that are1; that most neighbors are willing to look at green space, or a park or community
' cxnter i3nd wants anything but high ciensit}; and she statcd that if any type of developiiient goes in the
housing area, she preFers it to be less density. She stated she understands people need to rnake money but ~
not at the expense of the neighboehood or future generations; that shc has no objections eo improving the ,
look of olcier areas, btit not simply "for the botiom line." Ms. Viljanen stated that she understands the
new city has many issues to consider, but those living in the area are opposed to housing high ctensily
devetoprsient in the area. She f'urther stated that in citing a particular arciclE that appeared Saturday, July 9
in the local paper by tlndrian Borjeous; several issues were brought up on this issue, and sMc read the
following fi•om that aiticle: "the urban area deiiuded and developecl ac local eommunieies' expense; rules
of the game aren't in the community's best interest." Mr. Viljaitcn said t:hat legal nolic;es in the
newspaper are too smal] to read, ancf zoning changes do nccur but most don't ever see diem. She furtlier
stated that the community would have responded in the ten-day period if they would have known to
appeal -and that was her case; she stated that the ten-day peeiod probably went and shc did not know to
appeal; all t}lat in response ta Ntr. R.oecks' statement thtil she did not adhere to some timelines. Mr.
Viljanensai(1 she is not interested in timelines but is interested in what wil1 happen to the neighborhood in
the long-range. She also stated that citizen's testimonies are less crediblc than the professionals; a.nd that
she speaks f'pr the commu►iity. Tn anpi-irenl further eomment about the newspaper vticle, she statetl tliat•
resiclents in lhat area (Ponderosa) for long periods of time became irrclevant iia their clec.isions about what
they wanted or needed; it is time that „overnmental officials recognize the will of all citizens; alihough
she suicecl she realizes Council cannot address everyone's necd. She furl;her stated that residents in local
communities pay the pricc; local government looks for more tax revenues and government and
develnpment win aild the people ofthe neigFiborhood lose.
Deputy City A.ttorney .Driskell remindecl CoLulcil that there has been no motion t:o supplement the record,
and suggested the reference to the July 9 newspaner is 3n attempl Co supplement tlie record, and theref'ore
re_commends Council diSregard tha1: portion. Mr. llriskell reminded Council khat tonighC's issue is
whether the appeal document filed by Ms. Viljanen rneets the requirements oFthe ordinance. ,
Brief discussion took place regardina the issue Council is to decide upon, and the content of the
- vlemorandurn of Auttiorities. It ivas theit rrzoved by C'oinrcrlmember 5chirr2mEls, auul seconded by

❑ admin. report X pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Second Reading Proposed Ordinance 05-030 Confirming 2006
Property Tax Levy
GOVERNWG LEGISLATION: State budget law
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The 2006 proposed revenues were presented to the
City Council on August 9, as an informational item. A public hearing was held on August 23, to
discuss projected revenues including changes in property taxes. The public was invited to offer
comment at the August 23, hearing. Additional public hearings were held on September 27, and October 11, to consider the entire 2006 proposed budget including property tax revenues.. .
The first reading of this ordinance took place at the November 15, council meeting.
BACKGROUND: State budget law requires we make our revenue projections known and
conduct a public hearing to consider input from the public. At the public hearing. on August 23,
special mention was made of property taxes.
The City is required to pass an ordinance•expressing our desire to levy the 1% annual increase
in the property tax levy. The proposed ordinance is attached.
We find ourselves in an unusual situation in that our total property tax levy will decrease by
approximately $1,540,000 (library no longer in our levy) but we still have the requiremenf to '
document our desire to levy the 1% increase. We have met this requirement by noting that our
levy includes the 1%($95,450) allowable increase under state law.
This property tax ($95,450) was included in the property tax ordinance passed by the council on
November 15. 7he attached ordinance clarifies that the property tax ordinance included the 1%.
Please note that fhe.proposed ordinance chanqed in a minor waY from the first readinp. The
prior draft contained two additional "whereas" clauses that were later determined to be
superfluous, and were thus removed for brevitv sake.
OPTIONS: State law requires an ordinance be passed confirming our desire to levy the annual
1% allowable increase in property tax. A second option would be for the council to decide not to
pass the ordinance and forgo adding this amount to our tax base for future years.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: A rnotion to pass ordinance 05-030 confirming the
City's desire to levy the 1% increase in property tax for 2006, as authorized under Washington
law is recommended. '
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: This ordinance would increase the city tax base, upon which
future tax levy increases are calculated by $95,450. This could result in an additional $954/year
based on the allowable 1% increase . STAFF CONTACT: Ken Thompson, Finance Director.

They include: '
1. Recognizing Community Development Block Grants for approved projects

dedication process.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION:
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: None on this ordinance, although the Council
approved Resolution 05-025 accepting a ROW deed from Mr., and Mrs. Hobbs. The process
the staff and Council followed in that matteris one of two that are provided as options for a
permanent process.
BACKGROUND: The City does not yet have a formalized process for accepting dedication of
real property for road purposes if the property to be dedicated is outside of the boundaries of a
~ final plat. Attached is a draft ordinance to provide such a'process. Currently, since the Council
. has not delegated this authority to staff, it must come before the Council for action. The
proposed ordinance offers two options. The first option would be for the Council to retain
exclusive authority to accept such dedications on behalf of the City. If that were to occur, each
such dedication would need to be accepted by the Council via resolution in regular session.
The other option is for the Council to delegate such authority to the Public Works Director or .
designee.
OPTIONS: Choose one of the two options and instruct staff to bring a revised version back for
second reading. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: "I move that we advance draft ordinance 05-033, as
amended to reflect that we have chosen option , to a second reading at a
subsequent meeting."

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: First Reading: Proposed Ordinance 05-034 Amending Stormwater
Utility Charge
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Spokane Valley Municipal Code 10.10.040, through
Ordinances No. 31 and No. 31-A1 Section 4; Resolution No. 05-024: Master Fee
Schedule. '
BACKGROUND:
When the Stormwater Utility code was adopted it stated the fee in effect at the time. Typically,
the fee language in a code should reference the Master Fee Schedule to accommodate future
changes to the fee. The change proposed in Ordinance 05-034 would make the Stormwater
Utility code consistent with other code provisions having fee implications. Adopting this
ordinance also removes the current conflict between the Code and the Master Fee Schedule.
~
The proposed ordinance makes no other changes to the Stormwater Utility code.
BUDGETIFINANCIAL IMPACTS: There is no budgeUfinancial impact resulting from the
Ordinance. The adopted Master Fee Schedule set the annual stormwater fee at $20 per ERU.
OPTIONS: Advance the ordinance to a second reading; suspend the rules and approve the
ordinance; or take such other action deemed appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Advance ordinance 05-034 to a second reading.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN:
BACKGROUND: Spokane Valley has 17 service agreements w'rth Spokane County. Most• of
these interlocal agreements expired at the end of 2004, but the City and County agreed to
extend the contracts under existing terms pending finalization of the revised contract provisions.
The City and County staff have been working on developing a model agreement to utilize iri the •
renewal of these- agreements for the year 2005 and beyond. The County has proposed
changing the cost allocation plan applied to these agreements from an OMB A-87 to a full cost
allocation plan. The County has decided to maintain the OMB A-87 plan for the 2005
agreements and look at changing plans in the future.
This agenda item provides a presentation explaining the differences between the two plans and
how those changes affect the Spokane Valley agreements.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: N/A
BUDGETlFINANCIAL IMPACTS: The city has budgeted $17,412,296 in 2005 for County
senrice agreements.

What is the Cost Allocation Plan?
a A cost allocation plan is used to disbul-se administrative
and overhead costs from central service departYnents (such
as human resources and facilities maintenance) to service
delivery departments and funds that benefit or receive
service from the central service departments.
❑ The plan is used to determine the full cost of providing a
service includin` administrative and overhead costs that
occur outside of the organizational unit providing the
service.
o Cost allocation plans are used for grant reimbursement,
assigning support costs to non-general fund departments,
fee and rate setting, and for determining contract costs.
Nuvember 29, 2005 Spokane County Full Cost Allocation Pian 2
How Does it Work?
o The total allocable costs are determined for the central
service department.
o An allocation base is determined, such as the # of
financial transactions per organizational unit far
accounting costs.
a The total allocable costs for each central service area are
allocated out to each organization unit based on the
allocation base. For example, 24% of the financial
transactions may be for the Sheriff. It'the allocable
accounting costs are $1 million then $200,000 would be
allocated to the Sheriff.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Communications Infrastructure
. GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: None
BACKGROUND: I have advised the council in the past of the high costs that were estimated to
upgrade the basics of our existing communication system. These figures were projected a few years back
to be in excess of $25,000,000.00. The original interoperability plans called for a mixture of equipment
that would have still utilized older analog technolog and did not fulty address the future. digital
requirements that would be part of new standards for being awarded Federal grant dollars. This is a
greater expense than any of our independent agencies can allocate funding to, and it is truly the type of
project that should have multi jurisdictional participation.
In our joint participation to resolve these deficiencies, we have partnered with the Spokane Police
Qepartrnent and have applied for available grant funding. We recently received a starter grant that will
begin to take us down the path of seeing this project come to life and work to bring our communication
c,apabilides to a better state of total interoperability. -This award also brings us up to current "P-25" or
Project 25 technology requirements that are a must for future considerations in grant funding.
We in this partnership have been awarded a grant for a total investment into this project of $4,000.000.00.
_ This is a$3,000,000.00 grant with the requirement of $1,000,000.00 in matching funds. The
$1,000,000.00 match viould be split up between our communities' differing agencies and would most
likely include local participation allocated by population. If this allocation theory holds true, our lacal
particip,ation for the entire City of Spokane Valley would equate to approximately $198,000.00. We are
working to finalize our conversations about allocation and hotiv other entities such as Fire or other
representation will,affset some of these allocated expenses, and we are formulating agresments to
determine how these allocation amounts are arrived upon.
As a further example, the Spokane County share of allocation would be approximately $283,000.00 and ,
the city of Spokane would be approximately . With the award of this grant, the speed of
this federally funded project is moving ahead at a very fast pace. We have set up a governance group
and steering committees to assist in woricing our way into this project. This grant, if administered properly,
should be the first of similar grants that could substantially assist us in upgrading our overall system with
the aid of federal dollars, rather than flaating large bond initiatives and additional taxation. The current
grant allows for agency matching funds to be contributed over the life of the grant itself, which in this case
is three (3) years.
This grant and the surprising fast track award and implementation will now better enable us to move
beyond first stage planning, equipment purchases and implementation, and will help us to better project
the following possibilities of future awards and matching fund needs so that we can formulate a
reasonable plan to address the long terrn approach and identify future lacal funding requirements.
t Yrill be acquiring a copy of the finalized grant information, equipment and award details in the very near
future, and I will keep the council updated with the status of discussions regarding the allocation
participation of the agencies and jurisdictions that are partnered together to bring this critical project to
fru'rtion. This vrill also include a specifrc detail of the anticipated funding allocations and our participation
options for the cauncil to take under consideration.

VIII. COMMISSION BUSINESS
A. NEW BUSINESS:
Public Hearing for PUD 04-046. Commissioner Crosby opens the
hearing at 6:09 pm. Director Sukup explained to the Commission the
background for making this change. She also answered questions from
tfie Commissioners. "
Meg Arpin, representing Black Rock. Ms. Arpin explained that this is
. a significant change. She statetl that over 70% of the city does not
. connect, with an arterial or collector. None of these areas can change in
future with this wording. Ms'Arpin explained that she had spoken to the
. City's engineers; they indicated to her that they did not write or have any
input to this ordinance. According to Ms. Arpin, they do not want more
access to arterials or collector streets. This*wording is contrary to good
. transportation planning, according to Ms. Arpin. Ms. Arpin expressed this .
' ordinance doesn't promote new growth. This should only apply to ;
environmental/special cases. She indicated fihaC she was aware of two -
PUDs were in process, six olhers are waiting for this ruling.
James Pollard, 17216 E. Baldwin, the dates on staff report are
incorrect, stat:ing this had already been finished. Director Sukup stated
that this was an error on her part. She would amend the dates before it .
. is signed.
Mary Pollard, 17216 E Baldwin, Mrs. Pollard requested some
clarificarion on the changes. Was this in the ordinance when it was in
effect with the County, Director Sukup said that no it was not in the
county document, it was changed last November (2004) She stated that
she does not approve of having this ordinance changed. Mrs. Pollard
shared that the neighborhood is not developed outside of the PUD to
handle the cars that are generated by these PUDs. The rest of the area
roads are underdeveloped and it places a large burden on the community.
Maybe in the future the roads will be able to handle this increased traffic
but not now. Mrs. Pollard would like to have the Comp Plan in place
before this is changed. Mrs. Pollard said that passing this change is
premature and feels it is only catering to the developer. Unapproved of
by rest of the North Greenacres community. Leads out onto roads there
should be no changes in Phase I regulations, no bonus densities. Adding . ` ;
August 25, 2005 Planning Cammfssion Page 2 ot8
Spokane Vellcy Planniq, Commisseon lvtuw[as-
density without impact fees it forces the cost of development on rest of
community.
Kathy Tabbert, 18505 E. 4th Ave., Ms. Tabbert stated she is directly
affected by the PUD which first brought this question to light. She lives
across the street from this development. The road that is being accessed .
is only 19 feet wide. The winter seasons do not allow enough room for
cars and kids to both be on road. The road is unimproved and all the run
off from the development will be running into her yard. Ms. Tabbert feels
that the builder gets preference. She feels that the PUD only increases firaffic in hhe area along with high densities when the roads unable to
handle it. Ms. Tabbert shared that she has an autistic child and worries
that her child will not be safe with the changes fihat are going on. Ms.
Tabbert feels that we will allow the developers tear up road just for their
own purposes and the developers do not understand neetis of the
community. Ms. Tabbert said she is worried for children walking on .
street. Ms. Tabbert said this issue is more than just changing a requirement but is also about the problems they developer is to rush this
and not dealing with dangerous road conditions. -Brian Main, property owner/developer of a PUD now. Mr. Main stated
~ that this change does not affect his project now, but He is concerned
about the future development. Mr. Main feels growth will not continue if
you choose to limit it now. It will affect the potential for growth. The
Spokane County recognizes tfie need for housing. They are working with
- the housing authority in order to acquire a grant. Mr. Main stated that
changes to the ordinance could cancel out the program by making it too
. expensive for moderate/low income brackets to afford housing. He said he
felt ifi will cancel program because of the restriction, making it more
expensive for the developer. How will citizen be able to afford homes in
future? Mr. Main stated that the county has agreed to open the West
Plains to higher density. Mr. Main said he feels the commission should
think about it. Tom Tabbert, 18505 E. 4th, Mr. Tabbert said he was part of the appeal .
against the, current development. He said that many of the neighbors feel
that this type of development is awkward, but recognizes this is not the
. issue tonighfi. Mr. Tabbert encourages Commissioners to look at this
development. Mr. Tabbert submits pictures taken earlier in Nie day. The
road is 18 ft. wide. 80 or more cars went by this point between Barker
' and the elementary school, around 8:00-8:30 am. Mr. Tabbert wants to
address the safety issue for families, children. Mr. Tabbert said we do not
have a definition for of an arterial. He said there is no raom for
`pedestrians, now you want to add 22 more houses. Mr. Tabbert feels that
August 25, 2005 Plann(ng Commission Page 3 of 8 •
Spokane Valley PianningCommi,ssion M19inute.a
we need to stop and Iook at what we are doing. 70% of the Valley is
rurai. Mr. Tabbert would like to know what acceptable? Mr. Tabbert
spoke to some of the neighbors today and they are feeling like this has
already been decided and railroaded and that it won't make any
difference. Mr. Tabbert submits a letter with pictures from Steve Hormel.
Ms. Arpin stepped to the podium and asked to be allowed to address the
statements made by the last two people testifying. Commissioner Crosby
explained to Ms. Arpin that if he allowetl her to give a rebuttal then he would
have to allow all of the people who spoke to come -up to the podium again. Ms.
Arpin stated that was fine witfi that she had already made the comment in her
testimony previously.
The commission began fiheir discussion. Commissioner Crosby states that before
discussion we should have a motion. There was discussion between the
commissioners as to whether they were ready to have a motion. Commissioner
Crosby informed the commission that if the commission is not discussing a
motion then they cannot have any discussion either for or against it.
Commissioner Gothmann made a motion that the sentence read "all PUDs having greater than 8 residential units have direct access to a designated collector or .
arterial." Commissioner Beaulac second. Why 8 units? Commissioner Gothmann
said that he jusfi picked a number to get things started. Commissioner Gothmann made a motion that the sentence read "all PUDs having greater than -
8 residential units have direct access to a designated collector or arterial."
Commissioner Beaulac seconded the motion.
There was then considerable discussion as to what it would mean to change the
ordinance. Questions were raised as to what information they would like to have
to make a better decision. Issues raised were traffic, concurrency, levels of
service, peak trips. Commissioner Gothmann made a motion to table the item
until the staff can provide the information needed to make an educated decision,
to the next meeting date of 10/13/2005. Commissioner Blum second.
Commissioner Carroll feels it is not enough time for the staff to be able to come
back with all the information the commission is requesting. Commissioner
Crosby calls for the vote on this motion. Commissioner Gothmann and
Robertson vote for, Commissioners Beaulac, Kogle, Carroll and Blum against.
Motion fails.
Return to the main motion, approve with amendment of 8 houses. Discussion.
What other information desired? Traffic counts, concurrency, LOS.
Commissioner Blum said that he had 2"d the previous motion but would like to
have information, before he vofies on it. Call for the vote on original motion
(more than 8) Commissioner Gothmann yes, Commissioner Beaulac no,

Commissioner Kogle no, Commissioner Carroll no, Commissioner Robertson
abstain, Commissioner Blum no. The motion is defeated.
Commissioner Beaulac made a motion to table until 10/13 in order fio get as
much information as possible not only transportation but concurrency, levels of •
service and anything else that might help this body make their decision.
Commissioner Robertson 2"d. Discussion. Would more public testimony be
accepted? It is closed at this time. The public testimony can be re-opened. Do
we have to re-notify? Not if you re-open it tonight. Re open for 10/13, you do
have to notice it. Stated that 4 commissioners are looking for more information
before make a decision. Mr. McCormickJDirector Sukup can continue public
hearing? Can continue to a date certain tonight. Take care of table first.
Amend now? Take care of it later. Director Sukup, City Council has asked the
same question as the commission is this evening about PUD. Director Sukup is
preparing a primer for the council which she will share also with the Commission.
Commissioner Carroll, looking for a set of criteria that allows PUDs but also
minimizes the impacts that occur in unsafe areas. Vote to table the amendment
item will table to 10/13, staff to provide information on the issues we have
clarified tonight. Commissioners Blum, Robertson, Carroll, Beaulac and '
Gothmann vote in favor, Commissioner Kogle votes no, S to 1, tabled to 10/13.
Leaves floor open to continue the Public Hearing to, 10/13. Commissioner Blum
moves that we re-open and continue fihe public hearing in regard to the PUD
ordinance amendment to 10/13/05. Commissioner Robertson second. There is
discussion. Commissioner Gothmann more opportunity to discuss with public the
better decision you can make, Commissioner Kogle agreed. Motion passes 6 in
favor. Public Hearing is continued to 10/13.
Public Hearing - Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner Crosby opens
the public hearing in regard to the Comprehensive Plan at 7:33.
Hal Sarff, 13505 E. Broadway. - Mr. SarFF is not a resident but is a
developer for a private senior independently living facility located at this
address. Most land around this property is zoned UR-22. Mr. SarfF would
like to see fihe parcel below this address be changed to medium density.
The parcels are across the street, 13420 E. Broadway. 3.7 and 2.25
acres. Have option on these parcels. Would like to have this zoned to
, medium density. Engineers want to extend Blake Rd. south of Broadway.
Have an agreement not to fight county on the north side of Broadway.
But does not make sense south through private development. Children
going to school, thinks a light for children to cross road would be a good
addidon. Not against impact fees. Thinks they should be taken care of as
'long as those fees are used for improvements roadways, sidewalks, and
,
~ the like.
August 25, 2005 Piaivting Commission ' Page 5 of 8
Spokane Valley Plwning Commission A4inutes
Bob Scarfo, 514 W. 25t' Ave. Not a resident of SV. Has been
reviewing comp plan and would like to lay out some things for
consideration on the larger picture. Things no evident in comp plan. Did
not get a sense that the plan was looking 20 yrs. ahead. Trends are
coming is end of rheap oil and less driving. Creates more density and
pedesfirian oriented. 2"d trend, the aging of the county. 3rd trend is
flexible packages for re-hire back to work. 4t' trend. Work force facing
higher demands on time and work. Move closer to work, less travel. .
Failing health is another concern and walking is not only a means of travel
but helps with your health, walking is a good exercise. In the end a city
center will create people using alternative methods of getting around,
demand high density around the city to keep things closer to home.
Mary Pollard, 17216 E. Baldwin Rd. - Mrs. Pollard stated she is the
chairman oF the North Greenacres Neighborhood Group. Had a meeting
to address traffic, attended by Engineer Steve Woriey. 85 people attended the discussion. They talked about traffic issues surrounding the
I-90/13arker interchange, linking Indiana with a road for a pass through to
Liberty Lake. Mrs. Pollard stated that most residents and some of the
developers would prefer to have the extension of Indiana link with Boone
Ave. Would like to see a policy that allows engineers to develop roads
with the character of the neighborhood in mind. Include transit, ~
sidewalks. Developer Greenstone wants to have Mission downgraded as it
fits into his development. Feels that the railroad right of way is a better _
thing for a connector than mission. Too much traffic now, too many kids
walking down the street. 7ames Pollard, 17216 E. Baldwin Rd. Mr. Pollard is submitting a
written statement by a neighbor who would not attend. Pete Miller,
18124 E. Mission. Mr. Pollard stated that Ms. Miller wrote that Mission is a
minor arterial. There is no change to the comp plan concerning road
widths in the area. Her suggestion is to state the road diagrams in the
comp plan are only a suggestion and not an actual standard. Boone is
listed as a'minor 3 lane road.
Dave Black, not a resident; but a developer. He owns a piece of property
on Carnahan Road, just soutlh of 8th Ave. Is currently zoned as
public/quasi-public. Would like to have it down graded to house a self-
storage facility he would like to build there. He bought it from a church, it
is across from a quarry. Please consider changing it so that he can
develop it.
Bob Boyle, Hanson Industries - talk about Hanson Center east. Talk
about Indiana going east. Change it from the turn that would go through
Atrgusi 25, 2005 Planning CommfssEon Page 6 of 8
Spokanc Vallcy Ylanning Commission Minutes
Centennial Properties and put it through Boone. The curve now is what is
in the plan, inherited from county. Sewer line also follows that path. It
would be a straighter too. Next talk about the zone in the area, it will go
to a mixed use zone, we support that. We have worked with the staff as
to what we would like to see there. Last issue. Aesthetic corridor for
Indiana. Ulle inherited it from the county. We would like the planning
commission to drop that designation from Sullivan to Flora. It is not a
gateway to the city. It is not a major focal point coming into the city.
Can see that Sullivan to Pines might be because it leads to anofiher
corridor.
Scott Kuhta, Senior Planner. Wants to make sure that some suggestions
be places on the record for consideration by the commission. Information
comes from Mr. Boyle, who just spoke, with Hansen Industries, Mr.
Dullanty, in regard to auto dealers, Mr. Gragg with the Industrial Park and
a specific request to change the property afi 102 N. McDonald Rd. to
commercial, there is a defensive arts academy and dance studio.
Commissioner Crosby closes the public hearing regarding the comp plan
comments at 8:06 pm.
B. OLD BUSINESS - Comp Plan deliberations. We are now at the point
where we are going to be approving changes that have already been madE to
the comp plan chapters and propose that they be added as amended.
Begin with chapter 7, economic development. Director Sukup realizes that the
planning commission daes not have her version of the chapter for consideration.
She asks that the corrimission go to another chapter while she makes copie5 of
what they should be looking at.
Cornmission moves to chapter 8, natural environment. After the review of
changes Commissioner Kogle makes a motion to accept chapter 8 natural
environment as amended. Commissioner Beaulac seconds, passed as revised.
Chapter 10, Neighborhood Chapter. Commissioner Robertson makes the motion to include Chapter 10, Neighborhood/Sub-Areas to the Comp Plan as amended.
Second by Commissioner Beaulac. Several concErns are raised in regard to this
chapter. Have we decided to include this chapter in the plan? PVat, yet but we
are at that. Look at changes made, than vote to indude. Commissioner Carroll
states that he believes that tlhere are no implementation tools in place for these
goals and pracedures. He feels it is a bastion of prejudice and bias. Does not
address how to guide the neighborhood. Commissioner Blum is concerned that a
small group could come in and try to force the way they want it. Commissioner
Robertson says he believes the plan will allow for this. Gommissioner Beaulac
agrees. Commissioner Gothmann states that all the information was in the plan
_ already we just moved it to its own chapter. Commissioner Carroll expresses his
August 25, 2005 Planning Corrsmisslon Page 7 af 8
Spokr+nc Valley PlanningCommission Minutes
,
cancern that people will came in and say they represent a neighborhood and
they don't. Commissioner Beaulac sharEd that tive do not have regulations yet to
support many of the things we have proposed so far but they are the next step.
Vote, to include Neighborhoods as amended: vote is as follows Commissioner Gothmann yes, Commissioner Beaulac yes, Commissioner Kogle yes,
Commissioner Carroll no, Commissioner Robertson yes, Commissioner Blum no.
Chairman Crosby states it passes with a 4 to 2 vote. Commissioners Carroll and
Blum directly request that Commissioner Crosby vote and that his vote is stated
for the record. Commissioner Crosby votes no, noting that it is 4 to 3 and the
chapter is included as revised.

.DMINISTRATIO
2006 budget Iteveiiue: Once again nExt year the District is able to levy at the full statutory .r.ate of 50C per $1,000 0(
assessed valuation and still remai.n wzdEr the levy lid calculation. Cn late Oclober the Assessor's
Office calcuJated thati amaunt at $7,272,670 withouti any change yet included for state assessed values.
A substantial increase aver 2005, the largest part ($2,517,970) is the result of Spakane VaIlcy's
annexation, $1$0,500 is from nEw construrtion, and the remanlder is revaluations. Aciual revenue-
ivill be somewhat lower than the levy due to delinquent tax payments.
Expenses: The irajor change.s in expenses include a cost of living salary increasc, implementadon of
the 2004 Classificatian a.nd Compensatinn 5tya.dy salary i.ncreasES, increased bene.fit costs (pa.rticularly
PERS), operation of the new Moran Prairie Library facility, and a large increase in the libr.ary
materials budget. '111e re-eshablishment af Friday morning hours and the addition of Sunda}' •
aftentaon hours at Cheney, North Spokane, 1\4oran Prairi.e, and Spoka.ne Valley Librarics are also
proposed.
Bottom Nne: Even with Sunday haurs included and about $50,000 in one-time 2006 expenses that
aren't oEfsEt by interfund transfers, revenuES will exceed expe.nses by over. $300,000. Tlle budget wiU ,
uiercfor.e i,nclude a discretionary $300,000 tran.sEer to the Ctlpital Peserve Fund. The Gencral
Operating Fund balance is currently projected at $1.1 inillion.

City CIErk Chris $ainbridge Mayor Wilhite -vvelcomed everyone to the meeting at approximately 1 1:45 a.m.; said that today is the
County's turn to chair the meeting, and turned the meeting over to Commissioner Mielke. Coinmissioner
Mielke also wclcomcd everyone to the mectina, ancl mentioned the listecl agenda icems for discussion.
1. 12evisions fnr the Road Maintenance Contract - Koss Kelly. and Neil Kersteri
Spokane Valley Public Warhs Director ICerstcn explained somc of the history of the probress of the rnad
maintenatlce contin, ct; that the bulk of the contracted nrork would oecur next year; that half of the work is
eontractecl privately, while the pcher half is with t1ie County and deals with itcros such as snow removal;
and added that not all details have been Finalized.
County Engineering and Roads Director Kcllcy statecl he realizes there are many aspects to starting a new
city, and thal noC all ehings happen simulta.neously; that eveiyone wants an orderly transition if the City
were to txke over all aspects nf running a city, including street maintenance; LhaC t:he County felt a
responsibility to assist when the City first incorporated; ancl a full transition needs to Ue discussed with all
ofticials; that thc County is willing to help in the transition; that the County uses seasonal and pau-r-time
helpers to help out in the Valley; and should the Cit`y wish to handle all city aspects; the County would
not need to lay off anyone, but merely would nol neetl tihe part time and seasonal help they now employ.
Fwrther discussion conti.nued on the topic including taking ove.r a part or all of the contract; street
sweeping; transition methads; the philosophy of contracts; the publ.ic's perception of when things Qo right
or wrong; liability issues; revenue sharing; sales tax; privstization of some or a11 of the contract when
% using union ernployces; timeline for any hansition; the idea of downloziding some of the summer
functions and the city finding alternate contrael•s For such things as sweeWing; l:eeping a high level of
Notes of Joint h4eeting: 09-29-05 Page 1 of 4
service; otlier services such as lanclseaping ancl/or weed control; and the need for further research and
cliscussion of the Yapic, which could lead to drafting a new contract with officials approvaL lt was also
sugge,ted dhat in looking at suc}i transition, perhaps there should specific items should bc defined 1-hat the
City wanes transferred, and whether those transitions should bc fuM:her clefined by splitting the issues
' between summer ancl winter services; ancl the idea of staff jointly prepFU-ing a list of itcros that would be
reasnnable to bring to the City's side was also mentioncd. Queseions far further consideration included
whethcr both entities are willinb to fiirther discuss transition issues; long-term plans for the contract; the
need to determine a tirneline of when sueh cleeisions eould be finalized; and to look at items in addition to
road sweeping and what a longer tenn plan miDht looh like for road maintenance. Councilmember Taylor
menCioned that the City is a contract city and desires to maintain that philosophy. Commissioner Richarcl
sug-ested the Commissioners review these issues within the next thirty days, ancl bring the topic back tQ
the Board for their review and clecision. 2. Citv/Countv Muclel agrecments (mc too clause) Cnunty Attorney Emacio explained that staff has been wrorking towards finali7ing agreements since
December Af last year, and has come up with a standard form ageeernent whieh is easier to interpret. We
• explained that during the course of coming up with standardiz,ed provisions, the "rne too" language was
discussed. I-Ie stated t1iat if the Caunty provides similar services to other entilies at a substantially reduced
priee, the County would consider changing the Cily's contract to make all services similar. He said tllat
he de.letecl the "me ton" provision as it was initially included in 2003/04 by the prior T3oard, ancf thaC this
Board felt that clau.sc was not neeessary, and he was given direction ta delete it. Mr. Emacio furthcr
stated that he and Deputy City Attorney Driskell came up with standv-d language; but that Mr. Driske•ll
noticed the "me too" clause wasn't included. iV1r. Emacio said that he cannot include sueh clause without
' the approval by the Board; adding Chat if the County offers that meihodology to similar size cities, thcv il should do so also to Spokane Valley, but use a(lif£erent figure for different size cities; tind would leave
the esact verbiage to the offcials. Deputy City Attorney Driskell added that the underlinino prcmise for
that clause was to respect the notion that neither jurisdiction should be subsiding the othee; that if we get a
service, we should be paying for .it in keeping with the gifting of public fundirig. Discussion nn this
agenda item then included the work involved in identifying the service costs lhroughout all contracts; the
necd ko be Fair to the payer and the provicier; and the affect of the new proposed language. Attorncy
- Driskell suggested changing the verbiage to read: "tlie county sliall not provide similar serviees to other
municipalities at a reduced cost." Further discussion included the se[tie and adjust; wtictltcr the assurance
language is necessar}; the need for 1lexibility; defining what constitutes a smaller city; overhead
allocatio❑ levels; and ending wiCh the County stating its opposilion to the language proposed by Mr.
17riskell as it is substantinlly different frorn what is now in the contract. Commissinner I-tarris stated that
the Cpunty is not subsidiziug anyone, anci if the City can show thcy (the County) are over-charging, to
bring such information forward. It was also mentioned thal the 2004 contract is not yet reconciled.
Coiumissiorler Mielke st.itcd that there are specific eirc;umst<tnces that create clifferences; wit}i some
smaller towns the services are diminished in nature; the difference cloesn't justify the staff time to
quantify all the minute differenees.
3. Tnterlocal Aareement R.e Joint Plannine ,
Coinrnissioner A/Iielke made reference to the Commissioner's September 29, 2005 letter regarding the
nraft Interlocal Agreement; and stated the Commissioners would like to postpone further discu.ssion of
this until k}lc nert meeting. 17eputy Mayor i'Iunson stated that the Steering Coilirnittee meeting is set for
NlOVenibet• 15`h, and sugbested if we cantc up with an'agreed upon procluct; we could let lhem take it from
there to see if it can be applied to their situation; and said he would like to have a date certain of an
outcome to diis process in order to give the Steering Committec time to review ancl comment. •
Commissioner Mielke stated that the draft aa eement covers a number of elernents, includina,
transportation, Storniwater, impact fees, and questioned whose standards would be used ,
Nofes of Joinf h+leeting: 09-29-05 Page 2 of 4
Furfhcr ttiscussion of issues included interest in adopting model language regardino the different
elements; the most appropriate way to preseni the issue fornially to the Steerinb Committee; the work of
the sub-committee; what the scope of joint planning entails and whether it includes annexai:ion; adjacent
infra„etnacture placing a strain on City infraslructure; traffic flows; ancl how Co fund traffic mitigation.
Because there are mu(tiple elements to tliis issuc, Mayor Wilhite suggested canvcning another joint study
session lo discuss this issue possibly in October, and stated she would werk to set up sueh a meeting.
Commissioner I-Iarris suggestecl doing away with the steeri.ng commit[ee as it is a me:ans for ciefay and is
no longer needed. Artorney Connclly s[ated that there is aproppsecl moeion to go to the steering
committee, whieh motion cleiirly states that adoption of a joint planning agreement wiJl not be evidence
of an i.nCent for opposition to an.nexation for any puipose; and also thtil; there is a di-aft joint planning
agreement only for the Turtle Creek area as that was the auea of conceni to t}ie Valley Council. Attorney
Connelly recommendeci reconvening the sub-committee bcfore the steering committee inEeting, and have
thcm review the propASed motion; and he added diat he would be happy to work with Martiii artd Stan
and others involved, to come up widi a more generic joini planning agreement to use for aU jurisdictions,
and further that the motinn shotild likely be modi .fiecl to give direction to all jurisdictions to aIlow them to
condueC those negotiations.
4. Urban Crowth Areas
Commissioner Mielke suDgesteci skipping this topic or keeping it very brief due to time constraints.
Marlin Rollins and John Pedersorl spoke on this topic, stating dhat it is thci.r unclerstanding that the request
is for an inventory of the applications widl regarci to their impact on Urban Growt}i Rounclaries, in the
form of maps; that Courity stqPP has maps with them but ihal much of this infoi-ination is ineluded on the
shared GIS system. Mr. iNfieJke saic3 chaC t.hey havre over 200 applications which were received for
consideration under the update of the Co►nprehcnsive Plan; that they hav-e been uploadetl ontn the system;
~ and while difficult to put them on a map; they did bring maps depicting the existilig UGA as well as
J vested plats.
5. Apnlewav l7ight-of-wav Transfer
ivlr. Miell:e tumed the discussion Co the Appleway riglit-o#=way transfer; and the document to review to
detennine whether ie is acceptable to the narties; thaC the County had an oId drafl: yuit claim deed peepared
by the previous Board; that Mr. Tariskell reviewed the documcnt and submitted a letter requcsling a
number of language adjustments; and that the Board reviewed the letter with iMr. Rollins to determine if
those adjushnents were captured in this new document. Discussion centered orl the doe(imenc letter
language, the pujpose of page 2paragraph nne; that is the only thing thal ciid not get specifically changed;
as it statcd tha.t the property shall he maintained in good condition for transportation purposes; and Mr.
Uriskell's letter suggesced that while not legally objectionable, under the current set of cireumstanccs that
everything seems to be progressir►;; fine and questioned the ncecl to address that issuc; but tha[ the Board's
concerii is rnore on how to protect the area in dtc future; so the issue is, is it main[ained in good condition
to prqvicie access for service" Regardino the next bullet seeking clarifiektlinn of any irnprovemer►GS made
regarding the mainte.nancc, altering the sewer (top of page 3).. County staff statetl the intent is to make
. sure it is applicable to the pennitting process of the City of Spokane Valley. DIr.l7riskell said he feels the
canrepcs appears to tiave bcen addressed and he would review the specific language. Ftegarding other
items, County legal siaff suggested Me. Driskell review the issue and aontact the County's legal staff' with
any further questions or concerns: Mr. Pederson cxplained the proposed changes in the document; and in
reference to Mr. Drislcell's June 21, 2005 letter, item (6), that staff indiGated that everything they are
aNvare of has been turned over to City nf Spokane Vallcy stafF; and regarding (7) concerning the detailec! .
maps, Mr. Pederson indicated it is his understandi.ng that has occurred and is the same GIS infoi'tnaCion
available to both jurisdictions. vlr. Pederson said he wou(d like to give City of Spokane-VaUey staff time
to review the language; and shoulcl be able to fine-tunc the document soon.
Notes of Joint Meeting: 09-29-05 Page 3 of 4
Attorney Connelly asked the purpose of the reversionary language in page 2 of 6, paragraph l; and why
that is tied to maintenance; as it st<itecl that if the property is not properly maintained in ocooc1 eon<lition,
the property could revert to the County. Mr, rmacio 5tated that the reversionary language was to addre,Ss
transportation purposes; co which Mr. Cannelly responded that further language cdits ne6c3 be made to
. separate the maintenance from the reversionary interest, to which N1r. Emacio agreed. Mr. Connelly also
stated if rnaintenance is solely Por acrxss, it might be good to put that rio}it ncxt to t:he word "maintained"
to be clear that is what is being referred to. Mr. Emacio a};n-eed. Mr. Connelly asked who would be
responsible if contaminants are found under the roadNvay, to which vlr. Pederson stated the property
would be given "as is," and would be in the same condition in which the County received it whcn ganted
tn them from the railroad. Attorney Connelly preferretl not to have "as is" language, but since the issue is
potential cont.aminacion, there should be specifically spelled out who has responsibility for that property;
or perhaps refer to some federal re.Qulation thaC will alldcate responsibility according to an e;cistinb
scheme; because "as is" le,aves room for too many unk.nowms. Attorney Connelly stated he would like
that clarified. Mr. rnaacio said he woulcl be happy to review those issues; ancl addecl that it is the
County's intent to make it clear when ownership is passe(l Co the Valley, that the Courlt), is no lonber
oxvner and except for any contamination they (the County) personally did to the site, they are not going to
assume responsibility. Conimissioner Richard adcled that all documents have been turned over lo the
City, and full disclosurc is another key element to property transfer; and that the County has given to the
Ciry of Spokane Valley all inforniation they might have had concerning any environmental concerns the
of the County. Commissioner Mielke agreed adding dhat it is liis understiincling also. Mr. Connelly asked
~ for. cvriCten verification of dhat fQr the reeorcl, that all dncuments and items have been transferred. Mr.
Mielke stated thz►t staff will continue fine-tuning t:his, ancl will send a letter acknowleclging that all
dncuments they are aware of, havc been sent to the City of Spokane Valley, with regard to any history on
this propcrty.
6. 1/10 of 1% Local Option Sales Tax fur new and Expanded Mental Health Scrvices
Mr. Alielke stated that last week, Spokane County took action to place on Novembee's ballot for public
approval, a 1/10 of 1% Incal option sales tax for ment3l health services; that this is something die
legislalure granted the audiority for local jurisdicrions to impose; the auLhority was granted without
placing the matter before the citizens for a votc, but thaC it will be placed,on the ballot as an advisory vrote.
Commissioner Richard explained the proposal; that the menial heailth system has behween a four and
sever►-million dollar shortfall in the budgee; ancl that they spe•nt almost all risk reserves; that the shorlfall
coines from in part from hying to flx a funding problem which occui-red in the OS legislative session; the
L,egislature attempted to patch ii huge hit given at tlie fedcral level regarding Medic3ici dollars, and all
looked in gaod shape until after the Legislaliue convened and there was some movement io adjustment of
how those dollars would be alloeated; and in diat adjustment, the County was lefl: with a projected
shortfall. 1f approvcd as a citizen advisory vote, this u~.~c would raise an estirnated $6.5 million dollars
annually, after the frst year of raising four co five million dollars; Still leaving the Caunty short as
revcnucs would not be realized until the end of June or early July. Commissioner Richard stated that this
tax in an effort to a.SSist those who cannot assist thcroselves; and not taking care oF the mentally ill has a
ripple affect on the entire community; and if nothing is done, additional cuts in addition to the 20-25%
cuts already made in the mental liealt:h system; would Ue necessary.
J.n the interest of time, the meeting was adjourned at 1:46 p.m. and any iteiiis not covered will bs added to
the next agenda.

months, we would expeetto see 83% in the right-hancl c;olumn. Revenues and e.rpencfitures do not flow
equally in Cwelve monthly installmenls so the percentages appearing in the right hand column will oRen
be skewed. NVe also accrue most January revenue and expenditures into the prior year's records so thac
revenues for the year are rnatcbecl against expenditure,s for the same year. .
City property tax reeeiprs are expected to be very close to our estimatc. Nlost other revenues will cxceed
qur projectiotls. Expcndilures are expected to be lc:ss thanour estimates for [hE year, resulting in a

CODE COMPUANCE:
The number of "Violations Reported' on the loflowing chart reflects actual Spokane VaBey
Zoning Code violatians, plus complairns received which were not violations. The complaints
received are added to ihe total because they reflect time ofiicers spent in the field conduding
investigations. In addition, the "Investigated' and "Pending" columns accurately refled Code
Compliance's curreM abiiity ta process and investigate badclog cases.
The following ctrart provides a monthly comparison of the types of Spoicane Valley Code
viatatians reported. Violations are reported based on the primary comptaint rece+ved, rather
than the number of addi#ianal violations identified on any individual premises. The investigation
of a complaint ot junk vehides, for example, may also resutt in identification of additional
violations such as the accumulation of trash or harbonng of livestock. These are not included in
tfie summary. A total of 66 complsints were processed in Odober

From: Mike Jackson, Parks and Recreation Director
Re: Tree City USA
At the October 18, 2005 City Council Mecting; Mary PolJarcl, 17216 East Baldwin, suggested
that thE City loak into becomulg a 1`ree City iJSA.
In order to qualify as a Tree Cit), USA, the Cily would need to mect four standards.
. 1. Thc City must have a forestry clepartment or form a tree boarci or conunission.
2. '1 he City must pass a tree care orclinance designating the establish.ment of a forestry
dcpartment or tree board. The tree ordinatice also provides guidance regarcling the
planting and maintenancc of treet on public property. The ordulauce can also deal
with aspects such as dangerous nr diseased trecs, licensing and testing of tree care
compa.nies and other issues related to urban forestry.
3. The City must adopt an aruiual budget of a least $2 per capita (roughly S 180,000) to
support thc forestry prngzam.
4. The City must pass a F'rnclamation observing Arbor Day and conduct and Axbor I7ay
Observauicc. ,
Having becn involved in Tree City USA in a previous community, T ~vould adci that it is a majnr
. comcnitmcnt to urban forestry. Qnce a prognain is established, citizens Nv-ill rely heavily on the
City for planting informatian, tree cemovals and erimming (on cit), property)_ Relationships are
developed with utility companies to devclop pruning, retnoval and planting programs with thc
future iri uiuid. Ciiizens ajid businesscs can be encouraged to plant trees wid generallp spcaking,
the urban forest becames a high priority to the camiiiun_ity.
Tf you would like aclclitianal i.afoilnation, please let me l:uow.
