AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Spokane County Request - Barker Road Project, 8th Ave. to 32"d Ave.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Presentation/Discussion at Council's August 23, 2005
meeting BACKGROUND: Staff presented information at the August 23`d Council meeting regarding
Spokane County's TIB grant application for reconstructing Barker Road from 8th Avenue south
to 32"d Avenue. Spokane County is asking for Spokane Valley's financial participation for the
portion of the project that lies within city limits.
Spokane County's original request was for 40% of the cost of the street improvements within the
city. In accordance with staff direction from the August 23`d Council meeting staff inquired if the
County would welcome the city's participation at a level equivalent to the County's Participation.
The County has responded that they would welcome the city's participation in their Barker Road
project at a level of 20% of the cost of that portion of the project within the city limits. The cost
of the improvements within the city is estimated to be $198,900. A 20% level of participation
equates to $39,780.
The deadline for applying for the TIB grant is August 31, 2005, so the County will need to submit
. its application the day after this Council meeting.
OPTIONS: 1) Participate in the project at the 20% level ($39,780); or 2) Decline to participate in
the joint project, and program work on that segment of Barker Road in a future 6-Year TIP.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR AAOTION: There is no staff recommendation. However, a
motion e'rther to accept or to decline participation in the joint project will provide an official City
position, which staff can convey to the County in time for them to submit their grant application.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The $39,780 requested could come from the Street Capital
Projects Fund. STAFF CONTACT: Neil Kersten, Public Works Director; Steve Worley, Senior Engineer -

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Outside Agency 2006 Budget Requests
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: No previous action has been taken on allocations to
Outside Agencies for 2006.
BACKGROUND: In the 2005 budget, Council allocated a total of $100,000 for Outside Agency
Programs. These dollars came from the City's General fund and should not be confused with
tourism promotion proposals which were funded with room taxes. During the October 19, 2004
study session, it was Council consensus that social agencies should not compete with the
Economic Development Agencies for the same funding and therefore requested a separate line
item for those agencies in future budgets. This yeaes budget allocates $69,000 for Economic
Development Agencies, and $31,000 for social agencies. The attached spreadsheet shows
allocations awarded in past years, and a recap of the funding requests for 2006.
~ OPTIONS:
1. Authorize allocations from the 2006 budget as Council deems appropriate
2. Discontinue the practice of allocating City funds to Outside Agencies
3. Take other action deemed appropriate
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Council consensus to place this matter on an
upcoming Council Consent or regular agenda item, in the amounts council deems appropriate.

Fmpowering Communities to Value Youth and Youth to Value Communities
August 19, 2005
TO: Mayor Diana Wilhite and Members of the City Council
Jason Faulkner, Budget Analyst
FROM: Joanne Benham, Director
• Spokane Regional Youth Department .
RE: Chase Youth Commission Proposal The Chase Youth Commission evolves continuously to better meet the needs of youth
~ and the communities where they live, work, and play. This past year, CYC clarified and
rewrote its mission statement as follows: We empower youth as leaders and resources
- to improve the health and vitality of families, schoo/s, neighborhoods and the economy. Although hallmark events like the Chase Youth Awards, Youth Issues Candidates'
Forum, and BOBfest (Battle of the Bands) give the general public a way to recognize
. us, much of our work revolves around developing inter-agency relationships and
increasing opportunities for youth to become equal partners in shaping their
communities. Through various projects and initiatives, we engage in needs . assessments, youth leadership development, community planning, policy development,
and resource brokering. The Chase Youth Corrimission will embark this next year on
creation of a"Comprehensive Youth Development Policy" that will lay the groundwork
for a team approach to successful youth development for all children- and youth living within Spokane County. The policy will be reviewed and enhanced through a variety of
meetings, events, and media, and we hope that the City of Spokane Valley will
participate in these deliberations.
As we refine our role and the way we inter-relate with multiple jurisdictions and communities, we find that each has different needs. Some 'want help reaching out to
youth and engaging them in decision-making and volunteer service. Others have already established their own youth councils/commissions but seek ways to connect their own council with others in our county to address regional youth issues. Still other
communities want to conduct research about the needs and opinions of their young
~ J people for planning purposes and for building targeted community partnerships.
. 1, .
. We understand that the City of Spokane Valley is currently developing a Parks Master
Plan and that there have also been discussions related to teen activities and a potential
teen center. The Chase Youth Commission would like to assist in bringing clarity to the
youth perspective in these discussions. We know that some preliminary work has
already taken place through meetings at high schools hosted by Councilman Mike
DeVleming and Parks Director Mike Jackson. The establishmenYof the Spokane Valley
Student Council is another great step towards creating youth voice within Spokane
Valley government. The Chase Youth Commission can work hand-in-hand with the
Student Council, Parks Department, and Spokane Valley City Council to conduct more
extensive research and help articulate what youth and teens seek regarding their own
growth and development opportunities.
Our proposal involves interviewing Student Council rriembers, select city staff, mayor,
and council members at the outset to define the goals and outcomes for the data
gathering process. Once the goals and outcomes are reviewed and approved by the
Student Council and City Council, the Chase Youth Commission will outline a process
for data gathering and will work with the Student Council and other youth volunteers to
implement the process. Data collected will be analyzed and presented to the Student
Council for review and discussion, and the Student Council will be asked to formulate a
set of recommendations based on the data it receives. A final written report will be ,
developed to share the results of data gathering activities along with the Student
Council's recommendations. This report can also be presented to the City of Spokane ,
Valley Council during a study session or regular meeting, if requested. Presentation of
the information in a public setting can help build advocacy for the students'
recommendations.
We propose the work outlined would take place January through June 2006 and
request that a budget of $3,000 be allocated to eompensate for staff time, supplies,
postage, and printing over the six-month period. If the proposal is approved, the Chase
Youth Commission can request additional funding from the Chase Youth Foundation to
. provide food and beverages for youth meetings related to the project.
Please feel free to call me (625-6078) regarding any questions or changes you would
like to explo're. Chase Youth Commission representatives will be attending the August
30th City. Council study session to make a presentation. Thank you for the opportunity to
submit this proposal, and we look forward to working with you.

Dear City of Spokane Valley, •
I aui Nvriting on behalf of Troop 928 Daisy Giri Scouts, here in Sgokane, Washi.ngtion_
We have beeri a very activE troop this past year anci Nvhen the girls recently put thei.r f4arn
scrapbooks together last night, t realized how many wonderful evenfs they participated in .
throughout the year. Taaisy Giel Scouts are ty•pically S and 6 years olds, gcnerally in Kindergarten
but sometimes I' grade. Our grirls represenE several Spokane Valley schools including South
Pines, McDonald, Summit, Chester and Treni: Elementary schools. I know the Girl Scout Council
oftcn has a hard tYme finding enough leadcrs for girls, but I have truly enjnyed this geup of airls
th.is year. ' One thing I noticed, however, is how e.cpen. sive lcading a Girl Scout troop cari be. I
. know that families -svith small cluldren are often stretched with thcir resources, and in order to
help retain our girls Nve tried to work very feugally throughout the year. Often times I would use
my n%vn money to pay for troop expenscs, aid althoiagh Iam happy a-beut the outcome,l would
lifce to plan for nexrt year with expenses in mind. As you may or may not kndw, Daisy Scouts are
' n.Ut able to parLicipate in .f.iincfraising events such as caolQe sales, calendar sales Ur magazine
sales. This means we wi11 be starting out the year frotn seratch, but witli quite a few expenses. ln
order to have a strong Brownie troop, I feel slrongly that fhey should start out with peoper .
supplies and materials. 1' also ao not want ihc parents to feel as though Gid Scouts tvill hreak .
their budgei:s.
Some of the many activities our troop partieip3ted in this year included: "Clean Tt and
(areen It llay" where the girls cleaned Terrace View Park, "Earth Day" where they plantcd •
~ Ilowers, visits to Sulliv= Park Assisttd Living Center to cliat wi1:h the residents and sing for
khem, mal:ing centerpieces for the residents at Sullivan Padc, various service unit events, "Walk a
Mile in Someone Else's Shoes" badge to learn about disabilities, and N<'alking in the Jr. Lilac Parade. The gicls alsn participated in wash_ing the ctucks for Stiriners Duck Race in the summer, as well. This Nvas our frst fiind raising activiiy and helpui to purchase the girls' vcsts zmd "T'ry-it
bool:s as well as dues.
WE have so many opportunities to do wonderful activities for oiu conunun.ity that,.ve
neeci a solid start. This.nextyesr we plan to-eontinue our support at Sullivan Park, pm-[icipate in
CloodNvill activiCies, go carolin& learii about our neighborhoods, visit afish hatchery, possibly
visit museums and go c:izriping. We are asking for support by fundi.ng the str.uctiure of our troop with these.funds:
2 books stamps: 14.80 , B1ack ink, color ink BP 56: 24.05 . and 57 (Bor our scrapbooks and flyers): 39.99 Large box envelopes: 5.00 12 community- service badges for vests 15.00
t=~, With tax =Appxax -$10 7. 0 0
Although 1 k.now this sounds like a Iot, it Nvould serve 12 girls + leaders for the year witli rcga.rds
to office supplies. We have everything else on hand.
Thank you for your Consideration in supporting oii.r troop. I can sinceeely promise that ~
we -.irill give careful cqnsideration to ea.ch ciollar spcctt throughout Lhc year in order to insure we ,
are ma.king thz most of our furids.
Also, I jvould love to bring 4ne or more of auz troop members to a meetutg in order to
say "thankyou".iFyou woulrJ l.i:ke. ihey would love the oppoctunity to practice speaking iq front
of a groupl .

Spokane Valley, VVA 99206
Dear Mr. FaulUer;
`l`hatilc you.f.or provicling us the opportututy to cequest fitndinj fi-oin tlic City of Spokane
Valley for the year 2006.
The Spokaue Valley Comrnunity Center is the first, and currently, Qnly couununiiy center
to establish itself i.n the Spol:aiie Valley. It provides outreach and services to nearly a
third of the papulation in Spokane County uid it serves as the sole source of
~ comprehensive community services beriveen the SPokane CitY and the lclaho border.
Serving inore than 69,000 people under the umbrella ofthe Spokane Valley Community
CenCer, the 9 agencies tioused at the center provide a unique and necessary service that
can help otu citizens rise out of livcs of need or poverty and become productive citiiens
. of our commun_ity. From our Co1ts for lCids proo anl to our School Supplies progi-aiu, ,
fiom our subsidized apartments to paying utility costs for financially burdened faniilies,
the Centcr is addressing the basic financial, emotipnal and psychological necds of our
umi.munity's citizeiis. '
`NVhat's uiuquc about the Spokane Valley Conununity Center is that all of tlus work, and
much more, stich as the WIC program, the Valley Food Bank, the health clinic, t,tic
clothing bank, GED classcs, and other services, are housed wittuu a central ly .located
building, which allows fanilies to tap into these services without having to niakc time- consuming and emotiou-draining xrips all over the county.
The Center is locafed witliin a catcluncnt area where approxunatcly 65% of children live "
at or below the povcrty line. Ivrany of the fainilies served by the Center are comPronused
by multiple problems, wfuch, in addition to poverty, inclucie faulily violence and
chenucal dependency. «hile it is notewoitliy lhat various Faith couununities have comc tosether to provide fUiancial suPPo.rt that ensurzs the work of the Ccnter is sustauicd over
time, it is simply no longer possible to expect lhat the basic costs associatcd with
J emergency assistance be borne solely by inciividuals and fainilies who come together
10814 E. Broaciway • ivzvs.v.spokanevalleyconltnEt.nitycenter_Qrg
' S
• wEekly to worship. The challenges iu this particular section oFthe community are simply too great ta assume they can be adciressed only by local residents absent the good will -
and gupport of the City of Spokaiie Vallcy. In 2003 the Ccnter spenf in excess of $151,300 proNlding serNrices to families in need. WE are requestiug tllat the City of Spokane Valley partially pay for the salary of the
Emergency Assista.nce Case Manager. The County Development Block Grant bas
awarded us S 18,000 and we are requesting $14,823 from the City of Spok:ane Valley for
the remainder of salary and medical benefits.
We appreciatc the opportunity to submit t.his letter for fund'uig. Wc trust that you and the
city council will have uiferest in our Center that has so much positive significance to
Valley f.arnilies.

Honorable Diana Wilhite, Mayor Yo ee r fra rting p oin t.
City of Spokazie Valley 11707 E. Sprague, Suite 106
Spokane Va11ey, WA 99206
Honorable Mayor Wilhite:
The Spokane Area Economic Development Council is submitting a formal requcst far financial -
support in the amount of $90,000 for the 2006 calendar year.
The EDC r.ecently completed oui 2005/2006 strategic planning process. EDC strategic goals are:
• Expansion of employment opportunities throughout the region
• Focus on cluster development opportunities in technology, manufacturing and logistics .
• TArget higher paying, fanuly wagc jobs in these clusters - •
• Drivc organizational revenuc to S1.4 million in 2006
• plan for long-term rcgional growrth - 45% in population and 50 to $OK new jobs by 2030 .
` J I've attached a business plan summary fdr City of Spokazie Vallcy which details the return on
your investmeiit, and estimates the direct revenue dollars generated for the City and its
employment centers as a result of economic expausion and creation of 8,000 new jobs for the
coininunity. • County wicle, ovcr 16,000 new jobs will aeed to bc created by 2010 just to maintaui the current
unemployment ratc. Applying national emplnyment projections to Spokane's current econoinic
ba..se provides a potential emplo}nnent growth of existing bu.sinesses of approximately 7,000 jobs
by 2010 - a shortfall of nearly 9,000 jobs.. Our goal of creating 5,000 -10,000 new jobs by 2010
is chsllen~,-ing, but achievable. Howevcr, without a clear focus, job growth may not occur in
lugher paying jobs. • '
7'he EDC requires suffcient funding to anract and retain an effective staff, but both funding and
staft•'numbers have continually decreased since the late 1990's. Our curreut budget does not
. allow us tn compete as a comnlunity to adequately supPort business expansi4ns or relocahons.
To achieve the nccessary rESUlts, the EDC revenue goal for 2006 is $1.4 million. Ttus levcl
represents on.ly a $300,000 uicrease over the budget 10 years ago. 'While typical funding for
economic development is led by the public scctor, the Spokane'Area EDC currently receives approxuuately 40% of its annual funding from the public sector and 60% from the private sector.
We can be successful in bringing jobs to the CiYy of Spokane Valley by worl:ing ~vith elected 1 off cials abd staff, and collaborating «rith key partner5. Together, we will utilize aur cxperkise to
facilitate business solutions and leverage available resources to strengthen our comuiunity and.
become globally competitive.

Economic Development Investnient rroposal
A Business Plan Summary for the City of Spokane Valley
rev. Aagust 2005
Out' Goal• The Spokane Area Economic Development Counci.l is dedicatcd to
~ improving and enhancing thc ecflnomic vitaliry for the Cities and
County of SpokAne. The objective is to create jobs and investment tbat
will achieve the goal o£adding well over a half hiUinn dollars of
incremental job driven econontic impact activity annually to thc
Spok.ane County economy.
4ur Challenge: The Spokane region's current ecanomic base will face limited growth to
proNide quality job opporttuuties for new labor entrauts - ulcluding our
children - and will not bring the necessary level of new investment and
direct revenue to the Cities and County to suppert the demand on
services requircd aild expected by residents.
Our The Spakane Area Econonuc Development Council has developed an
Com.mitment• aggressi~~e job ereation strategy. Tc~ that end, the EDC boarcl and staff
~ are committed to the followuig:
• Focus on pursuiag busi.ness recruitment opportunities in
techncylugy, manufacturing and logistics clusters
• Facilitate, with partners, existing business expansion arid
retenti on -
• Create higher paying, quality jobs that will increase themedian
fam_ily incomc • Create 8,000-10,000 new jobs by 2010; 50,000 to 80,000 new
jobs by 2030
• Generate $350-$450 Milli4n in incremental annual payroll
• Generate, annually, $2 Vlill.ion in new lacal sales tax collections
The goal of creating 8,000 - 10,000 new jobs by 2010 is aehievable. However, without the focus of recruiting in specific clusters, job
groNvth may not occur in high-paying jobs.

~Our Operating • ProfessiAnal sta _ff i.ncludes four to six Business Developnient

budget is $1.4 million.
•We target 40% to 50% of our rcvenues f.rom public (local, state
and federal) sources, and 50% to 60% fronl private sources.
What this means Assum.i.ng adequate resources are invested in the EDC fi-om both public
for the City of and Private sour.ces to meet the staffing and opcrational requirements foz
Spokane Valley: i.mplementing ttie aggressive job strategy; the EDC will be marketing,

ttus meuiorandum as Attachment 3. In That clarificatiUn, the HF identified on page onc of

The HL clarificd this portion of his decision as xvell, reniovuig some ambiguity as to the

CC: Dave Mercier, City Vlanzger; Mau-ina Sulaip, CD Director
Date: August 16, 2005 .
Re: SEPA issues resulting from Hearing Examiner otl Ponderosa matter.
As the Council is awa.re, tliere is a land development actioii occurring in the Fonderosa
neighborhood in which part of the proposed action is in uiuncorporated Spokane County,
ar►d a portion inside the corporatc limits of Spokane Vallcy. 'Ihe applicant chose to apply
~ to Spolcane County first for devclopment of the wcst portion of the project. ~ As Part of the apPlication P . roccss. SPokane Cotu1h' requires the aPPlicant to comPlete an '
envirqmziental chec.klist under the Siate Fnvironmental Polic_y Act (SEPA). Based upon
that checl:list, Spokane County (or any anvernmental agency to which a project is proposed) looks at the proposed actiou to deterinine if there are anp ant:icipated unpacts
to the natiiral or built environment. lf not, thcn a]7eterinuiation of NOn-Sigiificauce
(I)NS) would be issueci. If lhere appear ta be impacts,-iurthcr analysis is then performed
to decermine i:f the impacts can be mitigale.d througll conditions placcd on the appraval of
the praject. If sp, ihen a Mitigaled Decen-ninacican of Non-Significance (MDN$) would
be issued. t1 DeCernunation oC Siaaiiicance (DS) can bc issued if there are prabable
significant advcrse environmental irnpacts that would result from the proposed action.
This memora.ndum -,vill not discuss a DS, as it does not apply in this instance.
(n. the project at hand, Spokane County c.ircul3te.d the environmeneal cheCklist frpm the
developer, Nvitli a copy coming to Spokane Valley., We identified a number of iSSues that
were of concern for the City, and asked Spokane County to require the applicant to .
mitigatc the idcntified impacts; and also for the County to address severa1 procedural
issues. SPokane Cc>unty declined 1o require the measures identifiEd by Spokane Valley,
and others, ancl issued a D'N'S on the praject. As a result, khe City (iled an administrative
- appeal of the DNS detErmination to the County Hcaring EYazniner (I-IL), Ivlike Deinpsey
(Nvho is also the City's pro tem .I-iearing Fxaminer).
~ J The primary issues raised by the Cily were thac (I) Spokane Valley was seeking t4
asstune lead agencp stahis froul Spokane County because nearly all of the environmental
im~.~acts from the pro.ject wot2ld RAl on Spokane Valley, raeher than Spokaiie County; (2)
that Spokaile County neected to do a completc analysis that recoguizeti the two proje.t.cs i.n .%txvo jurisdictions were really one project for SEYA Rcialysis purposes, and that SF.PA
- conteuiplates that a compzehensive view of the impacts was rcquired, recogiiizuie that the
Count_y could not simply look at the impacts from the west partion of the project; and
then ❑ot cdnsider the impacis from the cast portion; and (3) Spokane County needed to
require tlie developer tp canscruct off-site mitiption in the forui of sidewal}:s for school
c6_ildren -,valki.ag la and Ei-om seh4al along 44 Avcnuc. A.n additionAl issue was raised
by 11ie applicant, in which the applicant asserted that the admuustrative appeal of tlie
County's SEPA det:ermination was not auehorired by oLu- City Coiuicil. '1"lus, asserted the
applicant, reudered the appe.al ultra vires, or ,vithouc legal auihority, and must result in
our appeal beuig dismissed.
Thc HF issued his dccision on AUEl1ST S, 2005, Nvith An eff.ective dale f:or purposes of
appeal of August S; 2005. Qn the preliminary issue of whcthcr Spokane Valley staff had
authority to iiutiate ail administrative apPeal, the H:E. found on pagc 25 that staff Nvas only
engaEin€ ui a ministerialladiiunistiative act. As such, they did not require CuLmcil aciion
, to initiate the appcal. hi short, staff was merely followi_ng the adapted laws previouSly
enacled by the Council. "Thc City's SEPA appeal filed by tlie ]airector of the City
Department• of Coinrnunicy Devclopmcnt was properly authorized." HF Firrdirigs,
C(JYICI2.{SlflflS C!)1fI DeC1J'IOYl, p. 29, pa.rabraph 186.
AIthough the HE fannaliy denied the City's SEPt1 appeal, the maluier in wluch it was ,
dcnicd bcars fiirther scrutiny. _
4n the flrst issue, the HL nilcd that Spokaue Valley failed to assert lead agenc:y Status in
- a timely fashi0n (within 14 clays af whcn Spokane County asserted lead agency status).
TLiis poi-tion of the City's appeal was denied. .
On the second issue, staff is looking at whether the record supports FindinES of Fae_C 199
aJid 200 for the assertion that the D'NTS and supporting information by the County
considered the cumulative iinpaccs of that portian of the project that is in the County,
along witll t}le portion in the City.
On the thir-d issuc, although the appcal was dEnicd, the HL coiiditioned the periliit so as
to require the developer to provicie off=siie mitigation in the forin of side%valks or ottier
suitable cneans by wluch school children coulci go to and from school in a safc manner.
Our Public Works staff believes some clarification as to wfiac 1S 17Aw requireci of the
developer is wan-ailted.
Staff will deterniine if an appcal is warranted 'ui order to ful.l':ill the requiremenis of the
various development ordinances enactecl by the Council, and tlius protect the hest overzll
interests of the City. Tf so; then an appeal wou1d issue under Washington's Land Usc
Petitian Act (LUPA). Such and appcal would be fileci in Spokane County Superior
Court, no latcr than August 29; 2005. It is irnportant to note that staff is goinE to requESt
of the HE tI-iaC he clarify or reconsider nwo areas of his decision. First, the portion
requiring thE installation nf the sidewalk a.lonE 44`h Flvenue contains tech.rtical
- reyuirements that are not clea.r; according tp Aul' PuhtiC Worl:s L7epart.tnent. Second, we
Nvill ask that [he decisian he clar.i.fied to vcry elearly iclentify thal the two projects arE
separate and distinct. We Nvill also ask that the appeal period be extended to ilui from the
date of issuance of tlie clarification/reconsideration to allow auy adversely affected party
suitable time for appcal.

Re: 1•1'F Findings, Conclusion.s and I)ecisio►z in PF-.194U-p4 .
Taear N1r.-Dentpsey: I have reviewcd the Findings, CUnclusions and Decisiun that you rendcrecl in this matter
on August 5, 2005. Iu my review, I was left witli scveral questions. Ple.ase consider this .
lelier to be a request for eilher clarificatiUn, or rcconsideration, aThichever you feel most
aPPropriately reflects the issues T will iden.tify below.
First, your decision iu many places rcfers to the fact that separate preli.minary plat
applicatiolis were submitted in the County and Cily. Based on. that, .your Decision
appears to imply tMat tllei~e are two separate pzojects. However, tflat 1'act i.s not specifically identifieri i.n the Findings, Conclusions a,nd llccisiQn that I can find. Tbe City
rcquests that you claa-ify 'whether your DeciSion i.s prcinise.d on the fact that there are tw4
separate projeets, or whcther you revieweci this as one project action that is located in
bath Spokane Caunty and Spokane Valley. .Tf. you do this, it woiild signifcantly narrow
the scope of how the C;ity interpzets your ciecision: ,
Sccond, the City requestS that you charige the language i.n. the conditions celating to
Spokane Valley r.egarding the walking path/sideNvall: along 40' Avenue betwecn Sauth
' Farac Road and NVoodruf:f R.oacl. "1'he City requests that. the language on page 41,
pa.ragraph 2, be changed f.rom "if acceptable to the City of Spokane Valley, the aPplicant,
upon completion oC the first phase of the final plai:, the applican.t shall construct a surular
asphalt pedestrian pathway alo.ng 44ffi 'Avenue from south Farr Road east to Woodru~['
Road", to."It acceptable to the City of. Spok-anc :V all ey, prior to aPprovdl of the firial plat
for the ;first pllase, the applicant sbxll construcl a similar asphalt pedestrian path«+ay alang
• 44th Aven.ue from south Farr Road east to Woatlruff Road". This would set a definitivc -
lrigger point .Cor the constzuction of the easlern portion nf the walkway. Lastly, the City rcquests that the ti.me period for a X..UPA appeal be extendcd as a result of
any rcconsideration/clarification that may result from this so that any impacted patty may
have sufficient time to consider the results. As such, the request is for the appeal period
to expi.re 21 days &om the issti~nce of any clarif7cadon/rccousiderati.on, or the dcnial
thereof.
If you have any que.stions or comineuts, please let me lr.now.

Clw-ification
Dear _Nir. I?riskell:
T am iu receipt of your letter dated August 11, 2005, requesting reconsideration and
clarification afmy decision iu the above matter issued an August 5, 2005. M:y office clid
not receivc yaur letter in the mail until Augtist 15. ~ Iam also in receipt of, a le,tter dated .August 17, 2005, fi•om the applicant's attorney, Mike
Murphy, responding t.o your letter_ T. received this letter by facsimile on August 17.
Section 17 of the County Hearing LYaminer Rules of Proccdure vests the Hearing
Fxaiuiner with limitecl authoriry to reennsider or clai-ify a Gnal decisiun, «+hich shall
be can6ned to addressing exceptional circumstances such as coirecting clerical ei7•ors;
feaud or obvinus ambiguity." Your letter first asl:s whether ( based my decision on. the preliminary plat proposal in
County File 'NTq: PF-1940-04 being a"separaie" project fi•or.n the adjacent City of
Spokane Valley preluninary plat proposal, or whether T reviewed thc two proposals as
"one pro}ect actiou" located both in tlie Cuunty and tlle City.
For the purpose of approval under the County Heai•ing Examiner Ordinance and the ,
' County Subdivision Orciinance, my decision and the conditions of approval pertain only
to the prelirriinary plai application suUtniiteci to the Couuty in File Nd. PE-1940-04.
For the purpose of SEPA review, my decision did not view the two projects as a "single
cotusc of actian" that must be evaluated in the same cnvironmental document. This is because the County projeet can proceed withput the City project being simultaneously
implerneutcd, and the County project is not an interdepcndent part of a"larger proposal"
w ith the City project dependent on tlie "larger proposal" for justification or
impIementation. See GVAC 197-11-060(3)(b).

The hvo projects could be considered "similar actions" under Wt1C 197-11-060(3)(c).
Hawever; such provision does not require the ana]ysis of "similar actions" in a single
cnvit•onrricntal docurneut. ljevertheless, my dccisiori, and the responsible official For the
County Department of Building and Planning, did consider the "cuinulative" impacts of
the Counry pc•oject iu conjunction witli uiipacts fi-ocn the City project and othei•
develdpm.en.ts in the area, as relevant, sq thst the threshold deciWSien and miti.gation for the
County pcoject were appropriate. The be5t example of this was the traffic impact
aua(5=sis. iLry decisi.on did noi require the appl.icant to niitigate the impacts of the adjacent
City project, which tivoulci be inappropriate.
YoLu• letter also requests that 1 revise City of Spokaue Valley Ptiblic Works Departmcnt
eondition #2 on page 41 of the decision, so that the poiiion of the asphalt pedescrian
pathway to be eonsti•uctcd along 44`b AvenuE betwcen south Farr Road and VVqodruff
:FZoad is built "prior to approval of the firzal plai for" the f.rst phase of the final pla#;
rather than "prior to completion of' the fu-st phase of the f-~nal plat. Your rationale for
chiS change is that this would set a dcfinitive trigger p4int f4r the construction of the
easterly portion of the pathwsy.
1\1r. Murphy in his letier states that the two sections of pathway should be harmoniztcl in
terms of when the conditions apply; agrees with Mr. Driskell [ha[ a definitive trigger
ppint is needed, but suggests ihat this be when a"cErtificate of occupancy" is issued f7r
any house built on the site, subject to the altematives referenced in the 3 'd and 4`h
paragraphs Af the conditian; suggests that the path design be tied to the specifications
stated in the Jetter dated -May 23, 2005 frocn Cliff Cameron to John FIohman of the City
Public N•Vorks Department; and requests clarirication of the language "If accept{161e to the
City of Spokane Valley" in the Frst two paragrapbs of this condition. .
I take notice that i11e County does not issue a"certificate of occupan.cy" for completion of
a single-fkiuly hoiile, just aa initiat building perniit and a fnal inspection after the home
is completed. •
Thc rcfcrence io "If acceptable to the City of Spokaoe Valley" in the first two para,grapl.is
af this condition means that if the City does not want a 5-foot pedestrian path to be
constructed along 44t' Avenue, the appl.icant doe,5 not have ta construct the pathway. T
bElicvc paragrapti 3 adequately covers this situation. Paragraph 4 of the condition was only meant to apply iE'the other means of constructing
the patllway, e.g. the imprpvement of 40 Avenue for the public sewer, formation Uf an

:1Z117, etc. oc:curred beforc the obligations to constilact the pathway under the f rst two
paraD aphs, respectively, kicked in.
In my decision, I tied the specificafions for the Pathway as close to Mr. Cameron's letter
ys T.telt pivdenti; wit,hout getting into issues sucti as engineeriug, locakion of a tempara.ry
pressure line under the pattiway, ctc:.
A review af the preliminary plat indicates that there are a tofal of 64 lots in Phase One of
the preli,niinacy plat. This includes Lots 6-12, 131ock 6; Lots 1-2,131ock 4; Lots 1-25,
Block 3; .T_ots 1-14, Block l; T ots 1-10, Bloch 2; aud Lo[s 8-13, Block 7. This leaves a
total of 36 lats in Phase 2.
I cio see a need to clari.f.y the words "ccpoji con2ple.tivn of the first phase" irt the subject '
coiidition, regardi.ng the tinuug for constiuction of the easterly portion af the pathway.
What I meant herc was that the easterly portion of the pathway should be conscructed
p.rior to dcvelopment of the second phase of the prelirninary plat.
~ Atter cnnsiderable thought; I hereby clarify and revise City of Spokane Valley Publ.ic
NNforks Dcpartment conditions of apprnval on page 41 of the decision Eo read as follows:
"C1TY QF SYOl{ANE VALLEY NU131:,IC WORiCS DF.YA.CtTi11ENT
