AGENDA ITEM TITLE: PineslMansfield Development Agreements
GOVERNING LEGISLATION:
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN:
BACKGROUND: The intersections at Pines and Indiana and Pines and Mansfield are operating
below acceptable levels of service. Nine property owners in the vicinity wanted to develop their
properties but could not afford to make the necessary improvements at this intersection to
mitigate their traffiic-related impacts. In 2002 Spokane County and the WSDOT developed a
solution and offered to apply for a TIB grant to pay for the improvements. The impacted
property owners agreed to financially participate by coming up with the required 30% local
matching funds.
.
In 2002 Spokane County received a$2.1 million Transportation Partnership Program grant from
the TIB for this project. In 2004 the City received $1.16 million in federal Congestion
PvlanagementlAir Quality funds from SRTC to cover the remaining cost of the project. The
breakdown of project cflsts and participants is as follows:
TI B $2,193,561 55%
Developers S 514,059 13%
City $ 55,000 1%
WSDOT $ 55,000 1%
CMAQ $1,160,469 29%
Total $3,978, 089 100%
The participating developer partners include:
• Centenninl Properties - $151,729
• John Miller - $55,533
• John Miller - $121,383 (previously Bob Bonuccelli)
• Bill Lawson - $119,866
• Tom Hamilton - $28,525
• Carlos Landn - $28,222 (previously Rick Hooker)
• Ted 6unning - $1,821
• Grant Person - $5,159
• Mirabeau Chapel - $1,821 (paid in full)
We have provided a map showing the location of the properties associated with the above
developers.
We are now ready execute a mitigation agreement with each developer partner and have them
pay their proportionate share of the project cost. Following this Public Headng we will bring
back each developer agreement for Council approval on February 8, 2005 or as soon as we
receive signed agreements from each of the above developers.

2. First ReadinL: Proposed Ordinance 05-001 Adontinj! Frxmework for Develonment C(:ide
After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it wtrs moved by Depury Mrryor Munson and
secanded by Councilmember Denentry to advrntce nrdinance 05-001 to a secvnd reading. Community
Devclopment Sukup explained that staff is seeking approval to establish by ordinance, the framework for
the Spokane Valley Uniform I7evelopment Code sa as orclinances are dral'tecl whieh aIT'ect land
development, they will be organized into one title for ease in research; and that there are several
ordinances which have alreacly been adopted, and this will merely be orga►iizing the Code aiid corcectly
renumbcring as shovvii on the draft. Mayor Wilhile invited public commcn[.
Stan Schultz, 425 S Alpirre Drive; Liberty Lak.e: he stated he is a semi-retired la«yer representing his
clicnt Ken Tupper, who askecl him to look at thc codes as they arc developcd hcre; that lhis outline
appears to be almost identical to that which exists in Allen, Teaas; that he suggests that it rnight be a
better idea ro use format, language and text which people from Spokane (.ounty are familiar with and
build from there; thaY he stated he wouldn't want to use the organization a Texas city uses; that somc parts
of that Code simply aren't.Washington law; that we have the advantage of the County's code and terms of
art and yetirs of interpretations, that whatever code is developed should use those saine terms. Iqe added

1. Yropnsed Amendment to Criminal Code -Cary lariskcll/Cal Walker
Deputy Cify t\ttarney llriskell explained dhat there are nwo potcntial adcli[ions lo the misdemeanor noise
peovision; the first, if this restriction shoulcl apply to City riglits-of-way, specifically in reference to
boombax vehicles, which are those vehicles driving with extremcly loud stereos. Attorney Driskell stated
that Council previously askecl stqff to eontact those who miglit be impacted by such a restrictinn; and that
although staff sent letters to car stereo shpps asking for a response to inform staff if they were aware of
any problems in applying noise regulations as applied to car stereos, and also if t;he_y Nvere aware of any
groups who Shauld be contacted, staff received no feedback. r'ltiorney Driskell said the question tonight is
whether Council wants to include this restriction in the noise provisiens; and if so; any excessive noise 50
feet Gom the vehicle would be subject to the noise provisions and subject to misdemeanor citation. Brief
discussion ensured regarding using distance rat:her than decibels; and Chief Walker stated that other cities
wlicre decibel was tised, experieneed many challenges as there needs to be some way to measure the noise
prior to and after the noise and use of decibels did not funetion well. However, Chief Walkcr addecl,
ofFicers can repori distance away fi•om the noise and the affeet if has on other vehicles, i.e. mirrors
vibrating in cars two to t}iree cars distAnce from the noise. In response to questions concerning safery
issues, Cliief Walker stated that the primary focus of this inclusion would be a safety issue, including
sat'ety for the person driving and for people around to bc able to operate their cars in a safc manner and
not have their aftention divcrted in trying to determine the cause of the excessive noise. It rvas Council
cnn.rensus that stafj drujt an umettdinent jor the nuise nrdinnnce as it relates to excessive noise
emittiirg fro»i 1he rigkl-of-wUy.
Attorney llriskell then explained that the other regulal'ion to consider is limited times for blasting; and
that the current law is that blasting is allo«<ed betwecn the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. He
explzined that staff spoke with Mack Aguiar frqrn the Department of Labor and IndusCries, the stiite
~ rcgulatory agcncy for blasting who advised that the aforementioncd time periocl is the indush-y s[andard
state and nationwide; and also that if we were Co limit the blasting times, it wOultl raise overaU
' construction cnsts requiring rock because die costs would also rise for the mining operation. Attorney
Driskell explaincd that as an exercise of police power, Council has the authority to change the blasting
times, but diere are some additional analysis which neetis to be cqnductecl regarding vested rights.

~ Request for Council Action
DATE: January 25, 2005
TYPE:
❑ Consent ~ Old Business ❑ New Business ❑ Public Hearing
❑ Legislation ❑ Information El Administrative Report
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: REZ-17-04, Area-wide Rezone request, North Greenacres
area.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Interim Spokane Valley Zoning Code and Interim
Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Council reviewed the proposed rezone at
their November 30, 2004 briefing. First ordinance reading was conducted on December
14, 2004, tabled to December 21, 2004. Council remanded rezone back to Planning
Commission for written findings and recommendation.
BACKGROUND: The City of Spokane Valley Interim Zoning Code, Section
14.402.100, provides a process for property owners to initiate an area-wide rezoning
~ action via petition. The code requires that at least 51 % of the property owners within
the boundary of the proposed zone change sign the petition for rezone in order to
initiate the rezoning process.
On July 1, 2004 the City received a petition from the North Greenacres neighborhood
requesting a rezone from the existing Urban Residential 7"` (UR-7") to Urban Residential
3.5 (UR-3.5). City staff verified the signatures on the petition, utilizing the most current
taxpayer records of the Spokane County Auditor's Office.
The area under consideration for this rezoning action is bounded on the south by
Mission Avenue, Barker Road on the east and the Spokane River to the north and west.
The area is approximately 457 acres and is comprised of 264 separate parcels of land.
On September 23, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing #o consider the
rezone request. The Commission closed public testimony and continued the hearing to
October 14, 2004, for deliberations. The Commission requested Planning Staff to
produce a map showing "vested" development projects and individual requests by
property owners to retain UR-7* zoning.
After discussion, the Commission voted on four separate motions to exclude areas from
the proposed rezone. The Commission could not agree to amend the boundary of the
~ rezone request and each motion failed. The Commission then voted on the original
~ J1 proposal to rezone the entire area to UR-3.5, resulting in a 3-3 tie, one Commissioner
being absent from the meeting. On November 18, 2004, the Commission voted to
reconsider the motion to approve the rezone from the previous meeting. By a 4-3 vote,
the Commission is now recommending that the rezone be approved.
. .
On November 30, 2004, Council reviewed the rezone request, expressing same
concem about the adequacy of roads and sewers in the Greenacres area. Council
directed Staff to bring back information on how subdivisions are reviewed in relation to
the adequacy of roads and the future plans for sewering Greenacres.
On December 14, 2004, Council reviewed information submitted by the Public Works
Department concerning roads and sewers in the Greenacres area. Council tabled a
motion to approve the rezone, stating the desire to review the information submitted and
to allow time for staff to address legal issues raised during the meeting.
On December 21, 2004, Council remanded the rezone back to the Planning
Cornmission in order for the Commission to prepare written findings of fact.
On January 13, 2005, the Commission approved written Findings of Fact supporting
their recommendation to approve the areawide rezone.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve request for rezone from UR-7w to UR-3.5
RECOMMENDED MOTION OR ACTION: Move to accept the Planning Commission
findings and recommendation and to adopt the ordinance approving the areawide
rezone. -

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Administrative Report: Sign Regulations
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Spokane Valley Ordinance 03-53, Chapter 14.804.
PREVIOUS COUNCIUCOMMISSION ACTION : City Council was briefed on the progress of
the Ad Hoc Sign Committee on July 20, 2004. Mr. David Crosby, Chair of the Committee,
reported on the findings of the Committee on October 12, 2004. On December 9, 2004, the
Planning Commission met with the Ad Hoc Sign Committee in a study session to review the
Committee's recommendations. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on proposed
amendments on January 13, 2005, and recommended approval by a vote of 4 to 2 with the
Chairman not voting.
BACKGROUND: Chapter 14.804 of the Interim Zoning Regulations regulates the placement
and dimensions of signage. The Ad Hoc Committee was charged with the "review and update"
of the existing regulations. The Committee met on a regular basis from mid-June through the
first week of December, 2004. The meetings were held in the Council Chambers and were
open to the public. Committee deliberations were also posted on the City's web site,
Signs are classified as On-premises (advertising goods or services on site) and Off-premises.
i-~ Billboards are offi-premises signs. On-premises signs are either temporary (e.g. real estate
sale) or permanent, and may or may not require a permit. Permanent sign types include
attached or "wall' signs and free-standing signs. Free-standing signs include both "pole° signs
and monument signs. Permanent signs require a permit.
Local government may regulate the time, place and manner of commercial °speech°, but may
not control the message.
The Committee has recommended amending provisions which are not inconsistent with the
Interim Comprehensive Plan immediately, including: -
• Updated definitions
• Updated height, maximum copy area and spacing standards
• Measurement of irregular signs
The Committee also recommended amendments which should be considered following the
adoption of the new Comprehensive Plan, including:
• Amending "aesthetic corridor" designations within Spokane Valley
• "Cap and Replace" for billboards
The draft ordinance was forwarded to CTED for their review on November 2, 2004. A
Determination of Non-Significancs was also issued on November 2, 2004. The comment period
expired on December 2, 2004. CTED has not commented on the draft ordinance.

Re: Monthiy RepoR
Finance emploYees worked on the follo~Ning projects during the manth of December.
Year end financial statements
Staff bEgan preparing the December 31, 2004 financial statements during the month. It will
take several months to close our books. Our work will be eoordinated wilh the Washington
State Auditor's Ofiice so that our audit is scheduled soon after our year-end fuiancial
statemcnts are available. We will li.kely be scheduled after c;ities that havc signifcant federal
funding receipl.s during 2004. This allows other cities to meet the federal audit deadline but
delays our audit until late in the year.
Budeet variance/investsnent reports
Reports showing a comparison of fiind revEnucs and cxpcnditures to our 2004 ame.nded
budget at December 31, 2004, are attached. If revenues and expenditures flowed to the Ciey
equally ovcr twelve months and our budget: projections were extremely accurate, we_ would
expect io see 104% in the rieht-hand colutntn. Revenues and expenditures do not flow
equally to the ciry in riwelve montlil}, installments so the percentages appearing in the right
hanci column will often bc skewed.
Kcvcnucs that arc received in the new year but were earned dtuing the prior year are accrued
into the prior year. S[ale law requires thal we pay invoices received in the fu•st 20 da_ys of
January from the priar }tear's budget as well. This approach is an attcmpt to maleh re.venues
and expenditures for the same period. I-iowever, tlus process delays the financial statcmcnts
~ at year end.
~ ~
During ihc nexl 60 days staff will be upciating financial statement encries as our financial
records are closeci for 2004. We will update this report as we prUCess addicipnal transactions
and close our books. Our expeciation is that revenues, especially sdles taxes,
plannin€/building fees and fines/forfeitures will exceed our budget. Our expenditures are
expectecl to be within our budgeted appropriations.
The investinent reporc ai llecember 31, 2004 is also attached.
Carnblinp- tax letters
Letters wcnt out to operators of punch board and pull tab devices setting payment amounts
and due dates for the tax due the city. We have rcceived responses from thirty-eight of thc
forty-lhrec operators. This tax will be paid over the next cleven quartcrs in lieu of the fornier
tax.
vlultivear financial plan
Staff has started the process for updating revenue and expenditure assumptions for thc years
2006-2011. A council/stafC retrcat has been scheduled for February 12 to review these
projections.
Accountfuit/buclpet analyst vacancv
Courtney Moore has resigned to accept a position with a CPA firm in lus hometown of
Walla Walla. Courtney was invrolved in most city financial prajects addressed during late
2003 and during 2004. His happy face, devilish approaeh, solid exPer.ience and outstanding
work proauci put snulcs on the faccs of his co-workers every day. Ne will be missed.
A notice announcing the vacauicy is appearing in newspapers this week. We hope to have the
position tilled within 45 days.

In 21 business days we performed 919 inspections. This averages out to just under 44
inspections per day. Although we continue to use on-call inspection staff to supplement
our workload, using one on-call inspector five days per week and another on-call
inspector intermittently, our current inspection activity exceeds our target level of twelve
inspections/inspector/day. Our on-call inspectors perFormed 292 of the inspections in
December. This confirms the assistance these addrtional staff members have given our
full-time staff. Our workload has continued to be more manageable using this labor
resource. Over the next few months we continue to expect a larger volume of
inspection requests, since inspection requests track actual permit activity. We continue
to expect to use the second on-call inspector for a few more months to help us maintain
the capacity of excellent customer service the Building Division strives to provide.
Using the on-call pool for plan review caught us up on one- and two-family permit
applications. That is one reason we see the high level of permits for December.

In December, Building Division staff was provided training in the PLUS computer
software system. Implementing this system will allow a more accurate tracking of both
the administrative portions and inspection results relating to Building Permits. In
addition, the full implementation of this program will increase staff productivity and allow
more information to be carried to the field, impacting Code Enforcement and Building
Inspections.
Commercial permits include carport at a senior housing facility on Tschirley and an 80-
foot-tall "Stealth" cell tower on 700 S. Dishman Road.
f~ CODE ENFORCEMENT:
'JThe number of "Violations Reported" on the following chart reflects actual Spokane
Valley Zoning Code violations, plus complaints received which were not violations. The
complaints received are added to the total because they reflect time officers spent in the
field conducting investigations. In addition, the "Investigated" and "Pending" columns
accurately reflect Code Enforcement's current ability to process and investigate backlog
cases due to additional staffing.

CONIMUNITY-012IENTED POLIC1iNG:
'1'he following items are not included in particular as normal law enforcement issues, bul are

members of'this conulluiuty:
December was a busy month for the Spokac°ie Vallcp Police Department. Our officers have. again
demonstratcd their dedication and genuine cancern for this coinrntunity in many extra thoughtful
ways during this Chrislmas season. Tlus -vvas another year of our agettcy's participatian in the
`"HOLIDAYS ANll HEROES" cvent; where local law enf'orceincnt officers were privilegcd to
~-'be macehed up with a local child, taking that child shopping i~or presents at the loeal Wal-Mart
and buying gifts for their familie.s. Fveryone then gathered togethe.r to celebrate and vvrap the
presents. This year ihere was a total of 60 lcids matched up and takcn shopping. Ltical donations ,
providcd $200.00 per child plus a very niee Christmas Dinner, including a turkey that was
danated to each family.
Another cammuniry-based Projcct of giving was our participation in partnering with the
WISR1NG STAR FQLJNDATION in providing a complete home; fully furnished and stocked
with food, Christtnas tree(s) and presents for "Gabe"; a 4-year-old child with a serious life-
threatening illncss. We as an agency were blessed wilh helping to meet the needs of an entire

Spokane Valley Library Ser.vices and District Support
, Report to the City of Spokane Valley
December 2004
. R
Customer use measures, Distxict-wide
Use of "traditional" 1.iUrary services in 2004 was very similar to 2003. Total circulation yvas virtually
the saine; howev@r holds on library matei-ials juinped 7.1 °0. Ies the opinian of many staff that
c,ustomers are better able to hone in on what they'rc loaking for because of the power of the cahalog,
and as a result they borrow fewer materials. A combinadon of customEr-placed tlolds (64% of the
total of 238,537) and dhe option at some branches for self-pickup and self-checkou.t also provides ]ess
af an opportuuuty for browsing and picking up iinpulse items. Library visits were up 3%, pragrams
and group visits wcre up 2% bul- attendance was down 1%. The final reference inquiry drop fram
2003 was 6%, much imprdvEd frotn March's 16% year-to-date drop.
On the other hand, those services relating to i.nformation technalogy showed strong overall inereases.
Technalogical surrogates for traditional services-database retrievals and referEnce via the Wcb-
were up 4.8% a.nd 19.3% respectively. dnlinc renewa]s jumped 65°!0, now comprising 5.3% of tatal
circulation, hig}ier than thc circulation of five brick and rnortaz branches. Internet wQrkshation
bookings, which had increascs in the double cligits since inception, were up a respectable 8°rb as
~ computEr availability maaces out. Web site user sessions werc up 28.9°ro to 345,155 and page vicws
were up 77% at 603,425.
J
Cusfiomer use measuxes, Greater Spokane Valley
For the three libraries most used by Spokane Valley residents, customer use measures continue to be
mixed, and continue to be impaeted by the loss of City of Liberty LakE customers. The latter wori t be
a factor in 2005. In mcasures where year-ta-date use is lower than 2003, the rate of decline has
lessened throughout• the yrar.

At branches serving Spokane Valley residents...
Itegional Summary (Ellett Miller, regiottal »utnager): Summary: Appr.oval of the Spokane Valley
library services conh•ar.t was the hig}i poi.nt of the month for custan,ers and sta.ff alike. The level of
spantanepus support shown .For District services and programs was wel] beyond anything that we've
ever befare experienced and is a teshament to the excellent customer service staff have consistently
providcd over thE years.
As with eac11 December, library use took a down turn fram the previous months as everyone
prepaxed fpr tl-ie hol:idays and school vacations began.
Informatinn services/Adult services (Karen 13yrne, regiottal srtperuisor): Reference qucstions always
get more interesting when thc pace slows down-we flave had some an road kill and allegeci ,
nucrowave testing al• Fai.rchild among others. I was surprised at tlow busy it remauned be(ore
Christmas, and as usual, the week between the holidays was filled with lntemet usErs and paper
writers. Quite a few stockers-up on fiCNon were in as well. 1 am working on Ei.ndutg a Valley History
program for February, withaut a boeked speaker as yet.
Youth Services (Mary Eliert Braks, regiottal sttpervisor): Storytinles i.n t'te region went well witli
group numbers di•opping the closer we got to the holidays. Weedi.ng continued at branches, wTith
manv items mpved to Va.l.ley vr reassignEd to ot•her branches. The After School Specials-a cookie
decoratulg craft-was hTell received. 4Vork cantinued on thc January After School Special ar1d on the
L.emony Snicket party.
Valley (Elleti Miller, reginnal irranuger): The Uiggest news for Valley (and the Iaistrict) was that we
would be able to have a Valley Library serving the camnlunity. 7'he outpouring of support from the
commun.itiy was amacing. There could have Ueen no beti-er a tcstimonial l•o the value of a library to
its community as the imnlediate grassrQOl's support tihat rose up to support the library services
offered by tlte District. Most Valley infarmadon staff inembers were able to go on Outreach runs so
they can fill in for Outreach staff when needed. 75 first graciers from Adams elementary school came
for a tour ana stories.
18,544 new books and auclio-visual items were added to Valley's materials collection in 2004, a record
number, and 25.74% of the District total of 72,030 items (which is aiso a record). Of those added at
Valley, 8,263 were youtl1 materials and 11,732 adult rcading levels.
Argonne. (judy Lrrck, branch supervisor): The final years' stoxytunes featured Christmas stories and
1-ianukkah. The After School Special on d_ecorating coakies and holiday games was a lot of fun for all
who aitended, including the parents. Displ.ays featurcd "quick stories for a hectic season," and the
books went out quickly too. 41-1 ti1e display table wc, fEatured cluldren's Uooks about libraries and
Page 2 of 6
librarians, and loward the end of the month 1 put out some of my favorite cluldren's books. 1'he
fi•ame i.n the children's area displayed artwork from City School, ambitious projects about books and
rcad'u1g. Circulation staff was checrcd by a visit froni Santa risht before Christmas. He came into the
library in full dress and proreeded with his fiiends to wrap presents al one of thc tables. Turncd out
t.he gifts weren't dPSti.ned for ulyone here, but they all enjoyed seeulg khe "old" guy (who in real.ity
was prabably a high school or college Student). It ntade their day!
OMs Orcha:rds (Bev Rergstram, branch supervisur): We had 17 people at our AftEr School Special.
7'hat's nigh unto a record for us (not coiu-iting puppet shaw attendancc). Our kids lovcd the cookies.
fldulr r_nysrerics, science ficrion, and fantasy were weeded, and a report showed how much
circulation of large print books has increased sa.nce the collcction size was increased.
Oirtreaclr (Annette Eberleiri, srrpervisor): Because of the positive respense from SCLD branches staff,
100 duplicate large print titles were prepared for distr-iUution to branchcs. Outreach staff has
reviewed the SCT.,D Strategie Plan and developed gaaLs to personally contriUute to the SCLD strategic
plan in 2005. Storytimes will bc- added in Januazy for a diildcare in Cheney and service will resunle
to Bethany Place. 11 new homebound customers were added. Am-iette worked with Beth Gillespie
on updafing Outreaeh pronlotional malerial. WE are planning on a portable display board to use to

B. NEW BUSINESS:
Public Hearinq: Stormwater Ordinance
Chairman Gothmann opened the Public Hearing at 6:40 p.m. He
explained proper procedures for a formal hearing to those
assembled, and then turned the hearing over to staff for an
overview of the Stormwater Ordinance.
Mr. John Hohman, Senior Engineer, introduced himself to the
Commission and presented a PowerPoint slide show regarding the
background of Stormwater Management in the Spokane Valley. He
showed the Commission photos of flooded streets and parking lots
due to insufficient storm drainage systems, and addressed
concerns about contamination of the aquifer. The City of Spokane
Valley does not have a comprehensive storm drain system, and
has adopted the Spokane County Guidelines for Stormwater
Management. The City has no underground piping system,
depending upon swales for stormwater filtration and drainage.
There is an immediate need to amend the current standards, and
the City wants to put its own Stormwater Utility together.
The intent of the draft Ordinance is to minimize the degradation of
water quality in surtace and groundwater; reduce the impact
caused by development; promote site planning and develvpment
practices consistent with topographical and hydrological conditions;
and protect public and private property used and dedicated for
stormwater management. Thresholds for regulated activities, which
are missing from the Spokane County Guidelines, would be
implemented. The City's authority for developing standards,
reviewing developments, and preparing conditions of approval are
clarified in the draft Ordinance.
The Planning Commission asked for clarification of the following
issues in the draft ordinance:
,
2
~ Section 2.17 (paqe 2): Mr. Hohman was asked to provide a more
detailed definition of "indoor pollutants". In addition, clarification of
the role of roofs as a PGIS was suggested.
Section 5(paqe 4): After a discussion regarding the method in
which property owners are notified of their responsibility for the
maintenance of a swale, it was suggested that swales be tied to
easements so that the information will show up on a title report and
realtors and citizens will be aware of swale maintenance
responsibilities early in transfer of property.
Section 6(paqe 5): Mr. Hohman was asked to clarify the
language in the first paragraph regarding design elements. It was
not clear to several Commissioners.
Section 11 (pape 8): It was suggested that the language in Part A
be rewritten so that it is clear the property owner is only responsible
for the maintenance of veQetation surrounding a swale on their
property. Mr. Hohman suggested inserting the provisions that go
on the face of a plat in this section.
, Other issues of concern discussed: use of emerging technologies,
in addition to swales, for stormwater maintenance; City
responsibility for swale installation and maintenance in the case of
street widening projects; and the approval of stormwater design
and maintenance at a business construction before the Certificate
of Occupancy is issued compared to that of the final inspection at a
residence.
The hearing was open to public testimony at 7:30 p.m. There being no one present to testify, the hearing was closed to public
testimony at 7:30 p.m.
Commissioners requested that they be given an opportunity to see
their suggested revisions in writing before forwarding a
recommendation to City Council.
Commissioner Gothmann moved that the Planning
Commission table further discussion of fhe Stormwater
Ordinance and continue the Public Hearing on Thursday,
January 13, 2005. Commissioner Crosby seconded the
motion. Motion passed unanimously.
Public Hearing on the Stormwater Ordinance was tabled at 7:40
p.m., to be continued on Thursday, January 13, 2005.

The Commission took a ten-minute break in preparation for the -
Sign Code Study Session. Studv Session: Revised Sign Code Ordinance.
Commissioner Crosby served as Chair of the Ad Hoc Sign
Committee. Other members present were: Eldonna Gossett,
Duane Halliday, John Johnston, Ray Perry, David Quinn and
Denny York.
A Power Point presentation was shown to give the Planning
Commission background on the work of the Sign Committee. Mr.
Johnston pointed out that Evergreen had been omitted from the
aesthetic corridor list on the slide. Ms. Sukup agreed to correct that
omission.
Questions and comments from the Planning Commission included:
1. How does a billboard cap and replace policy work for other
cities? Mr. Halliday brought the idea from Boise, Jdaho, and
is not aware of how it works in any other city.
2. Is a mural considered part of the sign area? Sign area is
defined as "copy area", so the mural is not a part of the tota! ~
space allowed for wriften adverfising.
3. Does this policy cover addresses on the sides of buildings?
No. The Fire Department requires outside addresses, so
they have no place in fhe City sign regulations.
4. Does this policy address signs that are not meant to be
readable from the street? No, but the Committee did discuss
fhis issue at lengfh.
5. Are seasonal decorations addressed in this policy? Are they
considered signs? They are not addressEd in this policy, buf
perhaps ought fo be confained in fhe "Temporary Sign"
section.
6. What about temporary real estate signs and non-profit signs.
Temporary real estate Signs are included as Temporary
Signs.
7. Table 7.01, page 5: The chart does not really clarify the
total number of signs a business can have on its premises.
Can they have one of each: wall sign, pole sign and ;
monument sign? This sectron needs to be clarrfied.
4
There was a lengthy conversation regarding aesthetic corridors and
the billboard cap and replace policy. Ms. Sukup reminded Planning
Commissioners that these two sections of the Code are contingent
upon adoption of Comprehensive Plan Amendments. In the
meantime, the sections of the Revised Sign Code which address
billboards and aesthetic corridors will be removed and a statement
that the sections are "Reserved" will replace them.
Commissioner Gothmann stated that he was impressed with how
much clearer this proposed ordinance is compared to the several
sign codes he downloaded and studied in preparation for this
session. He is, however, passionately concerned that we are not
looking far enough down the road at how we want our City to look
as it grows (10-20 years from now) and that we are proposing a
sign code which would merely maintain the status quo. He doesn't
think that is what Valley citizens want, Commissioner Blum would
like to see the City head toward creation of a more aesthetically
pleasing community, instead of simply creating a revised sign code
that makes it easier for the business community to advertise.
The Revised Sign Code will be moved to Public Hearing before the
Planning Commission on January 13, 2005.
/
X. FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER
Commissioner Robertson thanked Eldonna Gossett, Director of the Valley
Chamber of Commerce, for being present. Ms. Gossett stated that she
has been impressed with the clarity that is coming out of City meetings.
Commissioner Crosby will be a guest on her KSPN radio talk show
tomorrow on a segment called "Signs in the City". Commissioner
Robertsvn will speak at the December 17Ih Chamber meeting on the topic
"Season of Sharing".
