1. Tnurisin Promotion Area Funding Mpc1e1-Dan Zimmerer snd Judv Sander
Spol:ane County MoteUMotel Association (SCFMA) President Dan 'LiiTimerer and TPA Commissioner
representing Spokane Valley Jody Sander, spoke as advocates for the removal of the "sunset clause" from
the Tourism Promotion Area funding model. The agreement's termination was not slated to expire until
the end of 2008, but v1r. Zimmerer explained, with assistance from Ms. Sander and Mr. Sladich, that they
need the flexibility of negotiating cvents to comc to this area tis fa[' in the fuCute a5 2014, and as other
surrounding communities havre adopted the moclel, thcre is increased competition region-wide, which
explains why havi.ng the agreement extended 'ui thrce-year increments also would not function we1L Mr.
Zimmerer spnke of the increases in room nights over last year, and that the TPA's strongest economic
development tool in the hospitality comrnunity has been the main driver behincl the incrcase in t}ieir
region, adding Lhat the sunset clause hampers planning seversl ycars in advane.e, in response to qucstions
about "checks and balances," Mr. 7_immerer noted diat the i.nterlocal includes language to allow the liotel
community to disestablish if there were a misuse of funds, or fney felt they were not getiing the needed
return on the investment; and that the Board of County Commissioners can also dismantle it if tlccessary.
Mr. Sladieh addEd Chat they are not certain at this point if the cities of $pokane and Liberty Lake will
narticipate, although he said there are no signals yet that they rnight not. Deputy yfayor Taylor said he has
not heard from any Valley hoteliers conccrning the sunset clausc; to whicti Ms. Sander said she represents
the Valley and that no Valley hoteliers are having a problem with the removal of die clause. ?hcre was
~ Council consensus to place this issue on the nest Council agenda for a motion consideration ro amend the
agreement and remove the sunset clause.

2. Site Selector - Morgan Kuudelka, Dr. Brooks, Ian VonEssen and Robin Toth
Administrative Analyst Koudelka introduced Dr. Kerry Brooks from Washington State University, Robin
Toth of the Greater Spokane, Ine., and 1an VonEssen from Spokane County to discuss the updates on the
site selector, addins that Council approved funding for one year and wanted a progress report at the end
. of the year to allow Council opportunity to *consider future funding. Dr. 13rooks explained that the
Consortium launched its websitc to allow access of business information research to regional real estate
sites; that the website has bcen operating since June of this year, and that the Consortium continues to
work to refine their Uack.ing data capabilities. Ms. Toth also explained that thcy have been pleased with
the website and the traffic generated from it; that they have expcrienced some growing pains; that the
ariginal intent was to bring data from the commercial brokers' websites from Seattle; that "Choose
Washington" decided not to renew Lheir contract with the Commercial I3rokers Association, so they did
an agreement with Commercial Brokers Assnciation, and the consensus from that •association is very
strong. 17r. Brooks then described the plans for the second phase nf reportiing and their use of the Google
product tJRCHIN which will assist in deterniining how many times a property has been selected and
where the selection came from; and said that they are continuing to learn about Ihose capabilities. Brief
discussion ensued regarding use of this site for other than realtors; the iclea of gathering data on people
who have moved here after visiting the website, or as a result of using the site selector; careful tracking;
aclditional training; edticating sales people about the siCe; doing more ouh-each and encouraging more
brokers to share their data. Mayor 1Wilhite thanked thc presenters for the infarmation, and said dlis item is
set in the budget for funding, and the matter is set for a motion consideration at the December 1 I council
meeting.
3. Arts Council Proieet - Yfike Jackson. Dr. Harken
Deputy City Manager Jackson explained that the Arls Council is attempting tn raise Funds to place die
"Wall:ing the Line" bronze sculpture in Mirabeau Point ParE;; and that t;hey recommend locating the -
sculpturc closer along the trail, rather than out in front nf CenterPlace. Dr. Harken said that the Arts
Council is about three and a half years old, has 5013c status, and has been grnwing continually; that in May of this year Peggy Doering asked him if they could put on an art event in connection with Valleyfest,
and that they had acquirecl permission to use the Greal Room at CenterPlace; that they moved forward
with that activity and in discussing the arts wilh several arts council members, they dctermined there is a
need for a specific piece of ut to get public viewing; and that the artists agreed to provide this pieee at
wholesale; that these pier,es generally cost from $100,000 to $300,000 each; that the Arts Couneil felt this
is a gond plan, znd diat they wanted to cnter into an agreement with the artists rE;garding the funding, but
didn't want to do so premAturely. Dr. Harken also mentioned the sculpture site will need light, and will
necd to be put on 1 base; and that the artist agreed to hold the pricc while the Arts Council works to raise
funds. Mr. Jackson said the Arts Council proposes to handle the purchasc and placement, and that the
City will have some annual maintenance, unless the City wants to participate on some othcr level; that the

5. Comprchensive Plan Amendmcnts - Grel! 1'[cCormick and Mike Basinger
Mr. lvicCormick and Mr. Basinger explainecl the pracess for the annual amendment of the Comprehensive
Plan, which they explained runs from November 2 tp Novcmber 1 of the following year; that applications
received prior to November 1 are considered by the Planning CorTimission in late winter or earty spring of
Q the following year, with a decision by Council in late spring or early summcr; ancl that this conip plan
amendment schedule is not iri accord with the aforementionecl timeline due to the previous demand
involved in the adoption of the Uniform Devclopment Code. In response to Council question concerning '
tMe involvement of the Coutity in our process, Mr. NicCormick said that the County daes not have a role
in our cAmp plan, but we do send the amendments to CTED (Department of Community Trade and
Economic Development). Mr. McCormick Also explained that we rcceived one privately initiated comp
plan amendment, and that there were sixteen initiatcd by staff, and that staff' withdrew one; that there are
.
hvo types of amenclments: amendments for text and amendments for the map. N1r. McCormick then
explained the proposed comp plan amendments anci the correspondino Planni.ng Commissiott Finclings
and Recommendations; and mentioned that Chey included a policy under TF-2.4 and the same policy
amendment in TP-11.6 which states: "Ensure the Appleway Boulevard right of way is the minimunt
wiclth nccessary to accommodate future street aiid high capacity transit improvements," and said that they
felt it was critieal enough to include in both areas as it is applieable to both transit goals and street and
roadways go11s. Councilmember Gothmann mentioned that the word "regional" is missing from the
statement under TP-11.6. Mr. McCormick then brouglit Council attention to the maps at the end of tlie
packet, which prompted discussion concerning the proposed Pines Road as a collector. Mr. MeCormick
said that they are just changing the desigriation, but he can ask at the Department of Transportation what
is necessary lo meet that criteria requi.rement.
Several councilmembers askec3 about dhe process for amendments for 2008, and how they can have input
in that prncess. Mr. Iariskell said he will get a respense to Council as quickly as possible concerning a
regularly scheduled time in the future to specifically address any changes Council may want tn initiate;
and Dcputy Mayor Taylor said he appreciated that research, as he prefers not to wait until November to
have input for amendments fbr 2009. •

,
Mr. Basinger then e.cplained the proposed map changes via his PnwerPoint presentation; and said that the
goal is to give Council the oppnrtunity to sEe all the map amendments now, and that perhaps they could

review the maps in further detail separately between now and the neact meeting. Mr. Basinger then briefly .
explaincd the proposed changes, with noted Planning Commission recommendations, or in the case of
CPA 01-07, there ,vas no recommend3Cion from the Planning Commission. The November 29, 2007 letter from Kithleen Ames was discussed, with Councilmember Gothmann asking how to eure what appears Co be a mapping error. Mr. l'vlcCormick explained that this letler was receivecl after the Planning
Commission public hearing process and that while they missed the cutoff for this round of amendments,
they ean remand this back to the Planning Commission if Council feels it is appropriate to do so; and Mr.
McCormick gave some history of the area amd how the area was changcd through the County's process;
and that he mentioned that NLr. Kuhta was in contact with the property owner's attorney several months
aDo when this was braught to our attention. Deputy City Nlanager J3ckson said that staff will add that to
the list of items to clarify, including whether these issucs must be amended collectively, or if one could be
addressed separately; and Mr. Drisl:ell said he will have that informatinn priar to Council's first readino.
vlr. Basinger dien completed his review for Gouncil of the remaining proposed amendments.
. 6. Outside Agencv Fundinr/Cleft Palate - Councilmembers Denennv snd Gothmann
Councilmember Denenny explained that the Depariment of Health and Outrcaeli Activities have agreed to
fund the Cleft Lip and Palate ProF;ram, along with a local match of approx.imately $35,000; but that the $35,000 local match was allocatcd to othcr programs, and therefore, the County has drafted an interlocal
agreement for cities to participate in this Program. Councilmember Denenny e;cplained that ralher than
sign an interlocal agreement, he sugbested Council pariieipate by this one-time fund allacation of
$6,848.00, given in hwo payments as we would know by the end of June if legislators reallacate their
funding mechanism. Tt was mentioned that althoui;h lhe cities of Liberl:y Lake, Decr Park and Chciicy
have elected not to parcicipate, their total contribution would not have been large, thus the other entities
will likely absorb their portion. Councilmember Denenny also agrced with Deputy Mayor Tayloe that tliis
is a temporary "fix" and said that the needed funding is simply not available, but this is a way to take eare
of a problem until the end of neYt December. It was Council consensus to supporl tnis funding allocation, . .
and asked staff to place this on the next eouncil agenda for a motion considcration. It was also noted that
a budget amendment woul<I not be nccessary.

David Burgess, 1$022 E Alki: spoke in opposition to lhis change; he asked what woulcf happen to
Broadway as far as being a major arterial, to which Mayor VViI}iite said she would have to look at the master strect plan; and I7eputy Mayor Taylor stateci that normally when development goes in, eonditions
are placed on that development projeet, but'it is difficult to suppose what might happen now as no
projects are pending for that area. vlr. .13urgess said Alki could not handle being a major ar[erial.
John Fredrick 818 Greenacres Road: asked who is pushing for all this change and why; that tihey have
nice houscs there ancf want Co know who is trying to run them ofF.
Hugh Thompson, 18305 E Broadwax said he has livecl there for 44 yea.rs, and if cpuncil raisES his

and can't understitnd how the area shown on the map in purple could remain residential with the rest
commercial. ,
Wes Beck. 19105 E Alki: said he lives further down Alki; that he lives in a house and not a busi»ess; and
that iC is his understanding that if a dwelling is in a commercial area, you can't oet a loan on it and it
would be useless Co re-sell as a house; and if the area is l•oo small for commercial, then you have nothing,
so you would have made someone's home worthless. I-le said that the nurple syuare wasn't originally in
t}iere, but that hexemains concerned about being zoned eommerciaL
Greg Hicks. 18615 Alki: explained that he has lived there 31 years; and said he was offended by one of
the Planning Commissiai members at the November 8 meeting when one of the Commissioners stated
that owmers can sell out for a profit and move wherever they want; but he stated that he now lives where
he wants to be.
Mugli Dyche. 707 N Grecnaeres Rnad: stated that the residential eommunity is now isolated in a commercial areri, and unless you give that residential a.rea the freedom that it now has, Couneil will 'e<<entually "root thern out," which is what this plan atteratiori is doing; sb they will eventuatly Ue
surrounded by commercial, and by traffic, and by trucks, and it won't be a nice community any more.

Caneerning CPA 1.0-07, ivlr. Basinger stated that stafF assumed this nroperty located off the interchangc
-vvould be for regional type uses; t:hat obviously Barker and 1-90 are not completely commercial uses now;
but these changes are pau-t of a vision to see if we can eonvert this to a regional designation, noting that
some uses are not conducive to that area. Councilmember Munson stated that if an area goes through a
zone change, that doesn't mean the residents must move; ald that concerning how the properiy is taxed,
that method of taxation appears to remain a mystery, aiid thal there. is no guarantee people will see a
change in prAperty taxes if the zoning gets changec3, tind that no one is "throwing people nff their properCy
or making people move." Mr. Basingcr noted that the property is currently zoned commercial.
Council then discussed the individual recommendations:
CFA 01-07: Council concuned to leave this as recommended, noting that based on size and location it
wauld not be a goad location for a home or for ehilciren playing in the vard, and the better use would be to
change to small coinmercial.

13. Admin lteport: AssumpCion of Private Road Policy I7iscussion-Neil KErsten/laave Mercier
FubliC Works Director Kersten explained that we received a request from a homeowners association thal
the City take over ownership and maintenance of an existing privaie road devclopmelit. Mr. Kersten
mentioned thaC althougM this is the first request from a homeowner's association, staff receives numerous
inquiries from individual homeowncrs regardirig their concern for maintaining private stree#s; and asked
if Council is interested in pursuing this as there is eurrently no process in our Code for aceepting private
streets; and said that those priv'aCe streets curreritly don't meet our standards so thcy would have to be
brought up tn eocie.
Discussion ensued regarding whether these private roads are on tax rolls, or how oe if they are assessetf.
NIr. Kersten mentioned that rigilts-of-way are generally more nai-i•ow and are of lesser quality; and if
Council were to maintain private streets, dle City would incur the liability to bring the streets up to
stanclards, or Council could recommend accepting those streets in a sub-standard state, but lie also mentioned we wrould bc under no obligation to bring many of khose streets up to standards; the difFicull'
part would Ue at what point cio we accept private streets, and by what criteria or standards.
Councilmember Munson mentioned public safety, narrow roads, and dead-end roads, and saitl 1:hat he
would assume we %+rould want input from the Fire District and Police. Councilmember Gothmann asked
what other cities are doing in similar situations and vlr. Kersten said he does not havc that experience, but
that usually privaCe 'streets are not allowed at this magniCude. Mr. Mercier mentioned that in his •
expericnce as City R9anger in another Washinglon community, he could not recall any privaCe strcct
acccpted by the City as a public way, and he recommended we approach this cautiously, and if we c1o
convert the streets to public strcets, we would assume all liability for all maintenance, including if there
. w•ere any clcfect in the property that would rise to safely problcros fAr bikes; pedestrians, and others.
Deputy Ma}ror Taylor stated that he agrees with Nir. Mercier concerning the importance tn mainCain and plan for property. City Attorney Connelly said that if the ro3ds are public we are responsible, and if
private, we likely are not responsible; that if a homeowrler association doesn't do their job, I.hcy might
want us to slep in because of safety, but Iiability goes wiCh control and owiiership. Councilmember
Schimmcls asked about any surcharge, and Mr. Connelly said he would have to research t:hat, but assumes
we could impose cnnditions, and nerform testing prior to taking over any private road; that he is not sure
it would be a surcharge, but more of a condition of assumpcion of responsibility. `I`he question came up iF
the area is sewered, and Mr. Kersten said he was not sure. vlr. Mercier mentioncd that we may want to
consider the broader policy rathcr Chan this individull request; that clearly some private rosds 1re in
egregious conciition, and cnost of the tiine the reason a changc to public road is sought, is to be relieved of ,
the financial burdEn, and he added ttiat we 1lready h3ve an un-mel fnancial burden in terms of our transportation system. Couocilmember DeVleming mentioned that as we move t'onvard on our street
masterplan, it would be good to have a maP showing where all the private roads are locatecl. Mr. Mercier
said this issue is bmught forward tonight for information, and can be discussed in more detail again later.
14. Admin Repqrt: L.eQislative Matters - Mavor WilhitclDave Mercier .
Mayor Wilhitc brought Council attenlion to pagc 6 and 7 of the Agreement for Profcssional Services with
Gordon Thomas Honeywell, showing what we asked the consultant to monitor and give Council feedback
about; and Mr. Mercier added that the intent is to communicate our legislative desires for our consultant
to track, and that we are not aski.ng Council tv voice support of any .one activity of this point. lleputy
Mayor 7'aylor added that the issue of l2EET and Real Estate T'xcise tax and using that to replace
development impact fees, are large issues of contention within the development community; partieularly
with re.altors and builders, and that there is a lack of eonsensus from private industry as wcll. Mayor
Wilhite stated that item "1" is to maniror legislation that would require our city to cbange to a ward
system, and said discussions should be held widi NIr. Qrnisby about that, and if such were re-introduced,
it would be helpful if it Nvere done to all cities and not just Spokanc Valley. laeputy Mayor']'aylor said he
' would lilce to amend iCem "d" to exclude Spokane Valley, and havc it state to "monitor and support or

perhaps exclude Spokane Valley." There was Couneil consensus to make this change.
~
Councilmember Munson menlioned Mr. Young's e-mail concernino priorities chosen by the
Gnvironmental Cominunity for the 2008 session, and that one is entitled "Evergreen Cities." Mr. Munson
said that his committee concluded that this matter is not properly vetted and is /oo confusing and that it
should be opposed at this point, and added that there is nothing in the legislation that would ictentify
funding sources to pay for these activities; and said that he woulcl wa.nt to put climate control issues on
the watch list. Nir. Taylor also proposecl that as soon as ca+e see bills being droppecf or leeislation gaining
oii this, to come back aricl get resolution from Council to take a position, possibly in early January.
Vlr. Mercier asked if Council would like Co considcr that for the duration of the legislative session, that we
insert "legislativc macters" as an agenda item in order to kcep Council apprised of the legislative events as
they arise. Council concurred. Vlr. Mercier also mentioned that he receives e-iliails concerning various
legislative issues, and if those issues warrant full eouncil consideration they will be brought Co the council
as a whole; and if not, Mr. Mercier said he will inforrn Council of die happening; to which Council
concurred. Mr. Mercier aclded that we were successfiil last session in the award for the Universal Park,

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Proposed lease to Lamar Outdoor
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: NA
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Last touch was in August; 2003, at which time the
Council took it off of the agenda.
BACKGROUND; Spokane County constructed Appleway Boulevard around 1999-2000. As
part of that project, Spokane County redesigned the intersection at Dishman-Mica and Sprague,
adding in Appleway. Part of that reconfiguration included widening Mullan Road at its point of
beginning at what is now Appleway Boulevard. In the process of widening Mullan Road, the
County acquired land upon which a billboard was sited, owned by Lamar Outdoor. From what
staff can gather, the County agreed to allow Lamar to maintain its billboard on what was then
County property. Attached is a map showing the location of the sign, along with several photos
of the sign, both from the north approach and south approach. .
At the time the City incorporated, we became the owner of the property. We were in contact
with'Lamar right after incorporation to discuss the terms of a potential lease, and a draft was
circulated. When it came before the Council at a study session in August, 2003, the minutes
indicated it was removed from the Agenda. It has not come back up since that time.
Staff re-initiated discussions last year with Lamar to determine an appropriate course of action.
Staff then tabled the discussions again because the City was beginning serious discussions on
the Uniform Development Code, which includes billboard regulations. Staff wanted to let
Council arrive at its collective policy determination with regard to how billboards would be
treated generally in the context of the UDC, rather than the policy discussion being driven by the
fact the City owns property upon which a billboard sits and from which the City would denve
some income.
Staff understands that the granting of a lease may not be the only option the Council wants to
consider_ As such, this RCA will outline various options for your consideration.
1. The Council could qrant a lease. Staff recently sent a proposed lease agreement to Lamar.
Lamar responded with several requested changes. If •the Council wants to enter a lease
agreement, there are several issues for you to consider. The first issue relates to the length of
time for the lease. Staff proposed a ten year lease, with termination by either party on 180 days
notice, with the ability to extend the lease for one additional ten year period. The termination on
180 days notice is consistent with most of the contracts the City enters into to maintain flexibility
if the need arises. The second issue is related to the first, and is the amount of the lease
payment. Lamar has stated that the net result of having the 180 day termination is that they
would only be able to enter into 180 day contracts for use by their clients because they cannot
guarantee any period longer fhan that. As such, they proposed the yearly lease amount be set at $1,000 for the first year, and give a 10% increase every five years. Lamar also identified that
the sign has a Iower value than others because it is only the south-facing surface that has full
exposure to traffic. The north-facing surface is briefly viewable from west-bound traffic on
Sprague, and is viewable from south-bound traffic on Argonne, although at a poor angle. (See ,
pictures) "
I discussed the potential for a longer termination notice, such as one year, with Public Works. .
Steve Wodey, Senior Engineer for Capital Projects, stated that they would strongly recommend keeping any termination notice at 180 days because in the event Appleway and Sprague east of
Argonne Road are turned back to two-way, that intersection would be the most likely place the
transition would occur and there could be street modifications in this area that may impac# the
existing billboard. Mr. Worley stated that a one year notice could potentially hold that project up.
2. Sale of ROW to Lamar - In the course of the lease discussions, Lamar indicated that it would
be interested in purchasing the right-of-way upon which the sign sits. There were no
discussions regarding price.. If the Council chooses to do so, we would need to identify the size
of the small parcel necessary to accommodate the sign. The dimensions of the existing sign
are approximately 12 feet by 25 feet, and it appears that the sign hangs over the sidewalk and a
very narrow portion of the roadway at a height of approximately 30 feet.
Mr. Woriey advised that he could not recommend the sale of the land to Lamar until the future
transportation needs for that area have been decided.
3. Request removal of the billboard - The Council may decide that it does not want to have the
billboard on City right-of-way. The City has consistently taken the approach that private citizens
are not authorized, either implicitly or explicitly, to use City right-of-way. If this were the choice of the Council,. a reasonable amount of time would need to be allowed to remove the sign.
Lamar would then have a certain amount of additional time to negotiate a deal with another land
owner in the City for placement of a similar-sized sign under the City's "cap and replace" policy _
on billboards. ~OPTIONS: As outlined, above.

. The pcrtinent Spokane Valley Ordinance is as follows: _
, 7.05.040 Nuisances prohibited. No person,.firm, or entity shall erect, contrive, cause, continue, maintain, or
Permit to exist any public nuisances within the City. Arohibited public nuisances
include, but are not limited to: C. Siclewalks. 3. Snow or ice not remo~~ed from a public sidewalk ~~vithin a reasonable time,
Washington Case Law provides as follows: ln Bu•dsall v. tlbrams 105 Wash. App. 24, (2041); a pedestrian brought aii action against
. a building owner and property manager. The pedestriau slipped and Fell on-an unclcared
portion of the sidewalk. The court held that the property owner owed no duty of care to
the pcdestria.n and further that the ordinancc requiring the landowtier to clear the public
sidewalks adjacent to their land did not provide the injured pedestrian with a tort action
agaumt the property o"mer.
In Rivett v. Tacoma; 123 Wn. 2d 573, (1994), a person trippecl on a pubiic sidewalk in
front of a private residcnce. The court held that a City urdinanee requiring thc abutting
property owner to indemnify the City for any damanes resultuig from a defect on the
abutting sidetvalk violated substantive due process and consequently was
unconstitutional. The-ordinance required the Property ovvner to "maintain tlie sidcwalk,
upon• wluch their property abutted, in a safe eUndition, free of hazardous conditions :
pursuant to Tacoma city Ordinance 9.17.010." '
In \lelson v. Citv of Tacoma, 19 Wash. App.807; (1978), the court held that, "the city
could not be held liable for injuries-sustained by pcdestrian who was injured when he
slipPed on icy strect wlule jaywalkuig at midblock; city had no duty to maintain full
block of street safe for pedestrian cross travel when sidewalk, or portion lhcreof was
blocked." Citing McQuillan, Iviunicipal Corpordtions, the court stated: Ordinarily, snow or ice upon a sidewulk is riot to be classed tivrth tlungerous
obstructions such as a municipality is required to remove. It is generally held tlrat u
naturul and ordinary accurnulution of .snolv und ice on sldewalks creates na »zuniciptrl
liahility for irrjuries occasioned thereby, unless wit1: res•pect there to the municipality.is in
so»1e manner negligent by disregarding i1s obligatioy: to exercise ordinary ccrre to keep
its sideivalks infit contlition for usuul travel.; municipal liubilrty niuy arise if rhe snotivy
or icy sidewalk itself ►vas defective, oiy the ice or snow, formed inta ridges, di-ifts or
hillocks, amounted to a dangerous obstruction to travel; the elen•:ent of knorvlerlge being
shotivn. "
LI Gardner v. Kendrick, 7 VJash.. App. 852; (1973), a pedestrian slipped and fell on snow
and ice-covered public sidewalk in front of a house owned by defendant. The court held
that the city ordinance requiring the rEmoval vf snow did not create a cause of action for
bencfit of any individual citizen.
3
In Hartlev v. Tacoma School District, Ciiy of Tacoma, 56 Wn. 2d 600, (1960); the court
held that when there is an ordinance reyuiring abutti.ng property owners to remove ice
aiid snow fran sidewalks erossuig their propcrty a city is entilleci to ,vait a reasonable
tune to see if the abutting property owner will remove the ice and snow before the burdcn
is cast upcm the city to remove the same witliul a reasonable time. ln this case the
snowfall occurred siY days before the fall, -the sidewall: in question was the means of
access to the front cntrancc of a public school attendEd by over seven hwidred children
and was located upon an arterial strcet adjacent lo a shopping center; and there was
cvidence that mauitenance crews oEthe city had sanded aiici salted crosswalks and slreets
in the vicinity at least lhree tiIIies during the preceding six-day peiiod. The legal issue is
whether or not the city did all that reasonable care required. In tlus casc thc Jury
ar►swereci lhis question in thc ncgative eve.n thoujh evidence was prescnted that the city
had five hundred iniles of streets and sidewalks, the city had worked out a set of priorities
whereby it seni its maintenance crews frst to tlie uiost hazardous and congested are.as of
the eity, and tiad followed that system in tlus uistance. 1`he evidence also showed that
while 60-72 men were used each day clearin; streets and sidcwalks immediately after the
snowfall, on the rivo days preceding the accidcnt only skeleton crews of 10 alid 16 mecl
were uscd. •
In ~tiebarger v. City of Seattle, 53 NVn. 2d 228, (1958), wherc a pedestrian fell on an icy
sidewall: the court held that a snoNa+fall was not itselt' notice to lhe city of a dangerous
condition in any partieular Place, where some abutting property owners in the vieinity of
~ the place of the aec;ident had clearcd snow and ice from sidewalks in compliance with a
city ordinance reyuiring them to do so, and the city did not luiow which sidcwalks; iFany,
hacl not been eleared. The court further held that constructivE notice to a city may be
inferred fioili the elapse of time a dangerous condition is permitted ta continue when it is
lonb enough to be able ta say that it ought to have kna,,vm about the condition.

Memo'randurn
To: Dave Mercier, City Manager; City Council members •
From: Cary P. Driskell, Deputy City Attorney
CC: Date: December 14, 2003
. Re: Snow on sidewalks • •
A citizen asked what could be done about a business plowing snow from its parkuig lot
onto his private property. Thcre are twro answers to tlus question.
- First, a property owner ahvays has a private cause of action against anothcr persen or
business that interferes Nvith their rigtit tn enjoy their property, and- for trespass upon
private property. This is a long aiid expensive remedy.
Second, the nuisance ordinanec adopted by tliis Council scveral months ago states as• .
follows:
Section 4. Nuisances Proh.ibitcd. No person, firm, or entity shall erect, contrive,
cause, continue, mai.ntain; or permit to exist any Public nuisances --Arithin the City. Prohibited public nuisances uiclude, but are not lunited to: (and then lists som.e '
specifically identificd nuisances) .
That nrdinance also defines what a public nuisance is, state as follows:
"nuisance" means the unreasonable or unlaNvful use by a pcrson of rcal or personal
propcrty, or the unrmsonablc, inde.cent or wllawfiul personal conduct which materiallv
interferes vvith or jeopardizcs the health, safeiy, prosperily; guiet enjoyment nf propertv
or wclfare of others, offends common dec.e.ncy or. public inorality, or abstructs or
inl'erfcres,*Nrith the free use of public Nvays, plaees or bodies of water.
Although the nuisance ordinance does not specifically list the placement of snow onto a
person's property as a nublic nuisance; it is my opuuon that the existin; ]anguage gives
the city legal authority to issue a notice of violation under lhe nuisance ordinance.
A seeQndary question arose as to whether the city could preclude people fxom moving
snow from theu private property onto rights-of=way. I believe the last sentence of the ,
defuution of "nuisance" in the nuisance ordinauce covers this issue. As such, the city
~ does have the ability to preclude private pai-ties fi•oin putting snow on the rights-of-way.
. Stanley Schwartz has advised that the city may want to consider adopting a more
compreheilsive ordinance that nat only specifically states that movulg snow onto private
property of another person or onto city streets is a violation of law, btrt also requires
property o'vAqiers to kEep sidewalks clear of snow. It may be that it is too late in the year
to get that implemented for this snow season; but could be something the Council
considers prior to next winter.

Deicing Chemicals
5preading aggregate such as sand and chips heips lmprove traction on ice under certain conditions. During
times of rapid ice formation or in anticipation of wch an occurrence, deicing chemicals are used. We make

S m ys " S,4J1PV01-1fts
The snow plow operators' main objective is to keep aur roadwayz open for the safe passage of craf(ic.
Whenever possible, operators try to minimize the size of berms across drfveways. However we do rtiot have the
resource to remove snow berms. Removat of driveway berms is [he responsibility of the property owner. It is
also the responsibility of the property owner to remove the snow from their sidewalk adjacent to their
property.

snow remuval operations. The large equipment, noise, lights can be very excitino. The concentration required

September of 2007. .
BACKGROUND: A number of citizen questions have been raised concerning the density
restriction set forth in the adopted airport over lay. The primary restriction of concern is the '
prohibition to create any new lot, regardless of the underlying zoning of less than 2.5 acres.
Council has asked for additional information concerning the adoption of fhis ordinance,
~ requirements imposed by state law and laws of both adjacent jurisdictions and other
jurisdictions within the State of Washington.
OPTIONS: Take no action, provide further direction to staff or refer the matter to the planning
commission for additional study and consideration. .

Rc: Airport Overlay Zones
Qucstipnti Presented:
• Da other Spokane County jurisdie;tians have sinular airport regulations to those
establisheci in the nEw Spokane Valley Uniform Dcvelopment Code (iJDC)?
•What are the state and f'ederal requurements related tv airport regulations7
Short Answers: • Other Spokane County jurisdictinns have much less stringent airport r.egulations than the
newly adopted Spokanc Valley UDC sectian 19.110.030. Fiowever, other Washington
jurisdictinns autside of Spokane County do have similar provisions to those recently
adopted by SpUkaile Valley.
o RCW 35.70.547 reauires cilies la protcct airports fiom incompatible land uses while at
the federal level, 14 CPR 77 requires that no height hazards exist which wauld be an
abstruction lo air travel. Neit}ler law mandates the adoption of a specific Qrdinance or a
specific prUyision withi.n an ordinance.
Analysis:
1. Airport Regulations of other jurisdictions City nf Spokanc Valley; under UDC secCien 19.110.030, now has ihe most stringent airnort
zoning regulations in Spokane County. The UTaC establishcs six Airport Land [Jse Compatibility
Zones which set a nizxunum number of dwcllinb uiuts for each zone in adclition to establishing
five Air -I-Iazard Height Restrictions zones. Spokane Valley is the 'only jurisdiction withui
Spnkane County to establish tbese compatibility zones and set density requirements For Each
zone. Other Spokane County jurisdictions have establisheci four "airspacc and accidEnt potential
areas." These arcas do not appear tn conespond with Spokane Valley's Compatibility Zones but
1
are more closely related to the Air Harard Height Restrictions. 13elow is a summary of the other
jurisdiction's airport regulations: Spokane County: Like Spokanc Valley, Spokane County has established an airport overlay
zone which is governed by section 14.702 of its code. However, this ovcrlay zone does not
implement the dcnsity requirements established by the Spokane Valley UDC. Spokaiie County
is also currently revising its Airport Overlay Zone, however, the revisions have not yet gone
public. The current section does address the following:
• Establishes four aiz space and land use safety areas wilh the following builduig
regulations:
o The coiucal area which is "all that laiid wluch lies ciirectly undcr an imaginary -
conical surface extending outward from the primary surPace at an elcvation of 35
feet above the elevation of the centcrline of the ru,naway for a clistancc of 3,500
feet and tlien uPward and outward at the slope of one vertical foot for every 100
horizontal feet for a hpricontal distance of 30,000 feet;" _
■ No structures or vegetation tivith heights in excess of 35 feet may be built in
this zone. Structures iucidental to air lravel are cxccpted. _
o The Approach Axea which is "all that land that lies directly undcr an imaginary
approach surface longitiudinally centcred on the extended centerline at each end of
the runway." The Approach area is then subdivided 'uito Accident Potential
Zones A and B which list prolubited uses. o The Accident Fatential ZonE A which is "all land in that portion of thc approach
area of t,he runway which eYtcnds outward froin the end of the primary surface a
distaiice equal to one-third of the nuiway.
■ No buildings or structures are allowed to bc built or altered in this zone." The
following uses arc cxcepted: warehousing, outdoor storage of equipnient,
cemeteries, nurseries, agricliltural uses except for feeci lots and other
agriculharal uses that attract substantial amounts of birds, publie utility
' transmission facilities, quarries, auto wrecking, rail or ti-ucking tenninals;
o The Aceident Potential Lone B which is "all land in the portion of the approach
area to the ruziway which cxtends outward fi•om Zone tA a distzincc of tNvo-thirds
of tlie runwdy."
■ The following uses are prolubited in this zonc: RV parks, churches, hospitals,
mfulufactured home parks; motels and hotels, nursing homes, schools,
stacliums aiid theaters, day care facilities; as purt of Spokane County
Itesolution 07-0221, re.sidential subdivisions and residentiul binding site plarrs " ure ulso prohivited.
• Prohibits certain uses in areas where substantial noise impaet exists includ'uig churches,
- day care facilities, hospitals, libraries, manufactured homes, nursing homes, and schools.
• The density rcquirements for an airport overlay zone with.in the county arc detcrmine_d by
the zone classification wluch the lancl in the zone falls into. For example, the Airport
Overlay Zone for the Spokane International Airport falls uito Light Industrial anci
Regional Commercial zones. The Light lndustrial densiry requirements are 15 units per
acre. The Regional Commercial zoiie prohibits singlc facnily and hwo family ciuplexcs;
but cloes allow for multiFaanily tlwellings which must meet a 30 dwelluig unit per acre
density requirement. 2 . ,
• Thc recent news stories regarding the County's anproval of a house ancl subdivision in the
~ airport overlay znne stems from a chan;e to the Light vidustrial zone classification in the
Accident Potential Zone B. Tlle County hacl adopted a special zoning ordinance that dicl
not allow for residential use in dle light industrial zone around thc airpnrt. That
ordinance was amended to remove the ban on residcntial uses. However, the County
-"recently adopted an interim zoning resolution (ltesolution 07-0221) that removes all such
residential uses. It is also planning on amending the Zoning Code back to prohibiting
these uscs as it led to "coinpatibility issues" and An encroachment on the land regulated
by the airport and Fairch.ild Air Force Rase. These changes were discusseci at a Ylanning
Commission izieeting held on Qctober 29, 2007. Resolution 07-0221 is attached to this
memo as E;chibit B.
City of Spnkane: The City of Spokane currently does not have airport regulations relalecl to
~r..oning. Its Code does contain section 11.19.230 which allows the Planning Dircctor to designate
airport hazard areas witlun which "various height, lightuig, and other Airport •r,aning requirements
apply." However, acc4rding to the City of Spokane Ylanning Department, this code provision is
obsolete. The City t:urrcntly has a chapter in its iJnified Develppment Code reserved for airport
regulations, but has yet to bcgui di-afting the regulations. The Planiiing llepartment anticipates
the drafting process wi11 begin within the nExt six months. City of Spokane will be using
Spokane County's airport regulations as its model (sec above).
City of Deer Yark: Likc Spokane Valley, Deer Park has established an airport overlay zonc
wliich is govcrned by section 18.72 of its code. 'Chis seetioa addresses the follo'Ailig:
~ • Establishes the sanle Pour airspace and land use safety areas as Spokane County;
• 1-leight reslrictions prohibiting.structures which are not neccssary or incidental to airport
operations;
• Prohibits certain uses in are.as where substantial noise impact eYists including ehurches,
day caze facilities, hospitals, librarics; manufactured homes, nursing homes, ana schools. City of Ainvay Heights: Airway Heiglrts also has an auport overlay zone-which is govcmed by
section 17.15 of its munieipal code. This section acidresses the following:
. oEstablishes thc same four airspace and land use 5afety arezs that Spokane County and
- City of Deer Park eestablished in their airport overlay zone;
o Height restrictions prohibitllig structures -vNfiich are not necessary or incidental to airport
operations; • Prohibits certain uses in areas where substantial noise impact exists including churches,
hospitals, libraries, manufactLired home parks, nursuig homcs,'scliools, and all residcntial
LISCS. '
Town of A'Iilhrod: Millwood currently docs not have any airport reaulations.
Although Spokane County jtirisdictions do iiot have similar provisions to the Spokane
Valley UDC's Land Use Compatibility Zones, other Washington jurisdictions do have simitar
provisions whieh are listed below: --1 . . - .
- 3
Skagit County: Section 14.16 of the Skagit County Cade establishes six land use "safety zones" _
and maximum densities for each zone for the Skagit Cotulty Airport. These zanes have similar
proh.ibited uses to the Spokane Valley prohibited uses. As for Zone 'C of the Skagit County
Code, the following regulations e:cist:
• iVIaximum Density: one dwelling unit per 5 acres; this is more stringent than the Spokane
Yalley 1 chvelling unit per 2.5 acres. .
• An open space requiremeut of 10 pcrcent; -
•Existing residences and residential lots are allowed to be replaced or built;
• For church.es and schools, the density of the facility shall not eaceed 100 people/acre and
the proposed site shall include or abut a permanent open spacc arca;
• Iiidustrial development is allowed so long there are no cmissions releaseci that will creale
a safety hazard to aixcraft.
City of Tumwater: City of Tumwater Code section 18.32 establishes and airport overlay zone
for the Olympia Ttcgional Airport. It is comprised oP five compatible use zones. While the code
does not establish maximum density requizements, it does establish the following zones which
r.egulate uses in addition to lieight hazards:
• Zone 1- Rumway Projeetion zone: prohibited are residential dwellings, stormwater wet
ponds, recrcational facilities, schqols, day cares, churches, hospitals, and uses that
diminish thc ability of pilots lo see or commulucate between aircrafts;
• Zone 2- liZner Approacl-VDeparturc Lonc: prohibitEd are multi-family dwellings,
recreational .facilities, schools, day cares, churches, hospitals, and uses lhat diminish the
ability nf pilots to see or comuiuiucate between airerafts; .
• Zone 3- Lnner Ttirning 7one: prohibited are multi-fatnily dwellings, recreational
facilities, schools, day cares, churches, hospitals; and uses that diminish the ability of pilots to see or coinmunicate betwccn airerafts;
• Zone 4- Outer Apprnach/Departure Zoiie: prolubited are multi-family dwellings,
schaals, day cares, churches, hospitals, and uses tliat diminish the ability of pilots to sec
or communicale between aircrafts;
• Zone 5- Sidel.ine "/_onc: prohibitetl are multi-family dwellings; schools, day cares,
churches, hospitals; and uses that diminish the ability of pilots to see or communicate•
between aircrafts;
• Residential lantl div,isinns in zones 3, 4& 5 require clustering and open areas for
emergency landing.
2. Fcdcral and Statc Reyuirements for airport regulations
There are bolh ytate and £ederal statutes relating to airport regulations. RCW 36.70.547
- requires all countics, citics, and towns that include general avialion au-ports to discottrage the
siting of incompatible uses adjacent to thE airport in their comprehensive plans and development
. regulations. The stalute also requires formal consultadon vvith the Waslungton State Department
of Transportation (WSDO'r) and the filing of all plans wilh WSDOT. WSDOT provides
technical assistance to local govercunents in addressing airport land use compatibility.
Unfortunately there is nn case law or `VAC's that interpret what an incompatible use is.
However, after filing proposed plans with WSDOT, the departinent will provide suggestions t4
thc city regardulg coinpliance with this statute. Further, thc `VSDQT's Avialion Division of_1:er.s
some guidance regarcling the detinician oF incompatible land uses dn their web page: ,
4
~ ]7epending on airport characteristics, locatioB, and anmount of key Upen space
adjacent to a general aviation airport, uiconipatible land uses may include public
assemblyllarge concentrations of people, residential density, intensity of
nonre_sidential developinent, struclure, hcight, hazaxdous/explosive material,
tivildfire hazards, light/glare, air quality and electronic signals.
Wlule the use of airpart overlay zones appears tn be a common technique employed by maily
cities, RCW 36.70.547 does not specifically require this or any other particular laud use
approach. According to IvIRSC, since the statute is sile.nt with respcct to the precise method to
be employed, it appears thaY cities are free to choose from among the siting recommendations of
the Aviation 17ivision or any oCher locally dcterniined method implemented through their
comprehensive plan and development regtilations that accomplish the intent of diseouraging
adjacent incotupatible uses. .
I'ursuaiit to ttus statute, Spokane Valley filed its Airport Hazard Qverlay Zone draft
.
ordinance with WSI70T Aviation Division. The Department made several suggestions to the
draft which are reflected in the current ordinance. (To see the WSDO Y' rccoinmended changes,
see Exhibit A). .
The federal statute Pertaining to airport regulations is 14 CFR. 77, entitleci Qbjects
Affecting Navigable tlirspace. NVlvle this statute cioes not usc the term "incompatible uses," it '
does say thdt height hazards constitute an "obstruction" lo air travel. `l"he Washington standard
fvr heighl hazards comes from the national standard established in this stariite. According to this
statute, any object, which pcnetrates "inia;inary surfaces" are considcred to be a height hazArd
~ obstruction and are not allowed. Imaginary surfaces are deiined in relation to the airport and the
runNvay. The size a.f these surfaces is based on the categoiy or each runway according to the
current approach, and tn any fulure approach planned for the runway. 14 CRF 77.25.

" EXHIBIT A
WSDOT Aviation
Airport Land Use Compatibility Program
City of Spokane Valley - Draft Airport Hazards Overlay December 20, 2005
We have several suggestions noted below and on the draft ordinance (insertions and comments using
track changes).
• Titles
We recommend that you change the name of your ordinance to Airport Overlay Zane because it
now i.ncludes height and land use compatibility. In acldition, we suggest you change the name of
the uccident safety zones to uirPort compatihle use zones or something similar. There are two
reasons for t.hat change. T'irst, the regulations address more than just safety in each zone - they
address other measures of compatibility as wcll. Second, your objective is mere than safety. The
objective of the state law is campatibility.
• Applicability Section .
V✓e suggest thal you expand the applicability section. The Eollowing example from the City of
Tumwatcr can be modified as appropriate: Pro'visions of this chapter shall apply to all lands, buildings, structures, natural
features and uses locatcd witliin ttie Airport (AP) overlay zone district as
depicted on the maps, except that the provisions of this chapter shall not apply to
any use that is defined as an aviation use. All uses and activities are at all times
subject to the underlying roning district. Where the requirements and rest:riccions
impnsea by the Airport Chherlay zone distriel eoni]ict with the requieelnents of the uiiderlying zone district, the more restrictivc requirement shall be applied.
• Avigation EasemenUDisclosure Notice:
Why are both iun avigation easement and disclosure notiee included in the ordinance7 There may
be an opportunity to work «<ith the airport boarcl to develop a new policy that is defensible and
maintains protection for the airport. 1'Ue would be happy to help you widi that We reeommend
' that ultimfltely you choose a single casement or notice that is filed with the eaunty auditor.
Having both an easement and a disclASUre notice that apply in different areas may be very
eomplicated to.administer. • Maps
oA map showing existing peneCrations of tlie imaginary surfaces wnuld be very helpful for
administering the rcgulations and help you identify areas where penetration of the surfaces is
possible or likely. Adding elevation eontours to your existing map wnuld also help illustratc
these issues and assist the city and applicajits during the permitting process.
oWe also recommend you also qdd a profile view map to illustrate nefual heit3hts in the vaxious
zones. The additional view woulcl be cspecially helpful during implemeneation, to hclp
plan.ners at the front counter describe the policy to apUlicants.
o' As we discussed during our visit, the California guidelines have used updated accident data to
modify the shapc ot the safety zones, especially zone 3. 1 have attached the information for
your reference.
~
EXHIBIT A
~ WSDOT Aviation '
Airport Land Use Compatibility Program
o Rather thaii i.ncluding onty the reference ciiagrams for the safety zones an(l FAR Part 77 in
yrour qrdinance; we rec;ommcnd that you include a safety z.ane diagram, noise contour map;
Meight Hazard Part 77 map, and your compatibility zone map. I have attaclied an example of
a map that shows customized compatibility zones and the safety zone diagram with relevaiit
_ dimensions.
o You tnight also consider including them in your eomprehcnsive plan. "1 hese maps, along
• with supporting inforrnation, will allow Spokane Valley to better implemcnt airpoirt land use
compatibiliry. The airpotl: compatibility zone map ancl FAR Part 77 should be shown on the
zoning map if possible or included as reference_s in the zoning code.
• Other Comments o You shoulci includc information about hnw height will be measured fnr the purpose of
implcmentation. For example, you might note that applieants will bc required to include the
ground elevation ancl maximum structure elevation in their application, The process you usc
for detcrmining building heiglits may also be appropriate. '1°he fallawing is an exajnple from
Douglas County I:hat may be modified to fit your needs. It is probably necessary to aclcl
language specifyino under which conditions measurements by a licensed surveyor wrould be
. reyuired.
18.65.070 SfTE PLAN REQUIREMENTS .
An application for a building, structure, use, subdivision, short subdivision, _
binding site plan or other development activity shall submit the following
~ information in addition to application materials required as set forth in the DCC.
A. The site plan shall clearty delineate the location of the project to the Runway
Protection Zone 1, Inner Safety Zone 2, andlor Inner Tuming Zone 3 as
described in Section 18.65.080.
B. The location and height of all proposed buildings, structures, and natural
vegetation as measured from the airport surface and when located within the -
following.
. 1) Runway Protection Zone 1; Inner Safety Zone 2, andlor Inner Turning
Zone 3; -
2) Horizontal and Conical SurFaces identified as a natural obstruction;
and ORDINANCE TLS 00-05-38 9
3) Building or structures that exceed a height of thirty-five feet (35) when
located in any other accident safety zone or FAR Parts 77 imaginary surfaces not described in subsection A and B. .
oWe recommend that you not include trees and vegetation in the heioht restrictions because it
is very clifficult to enforce.
o It is not necessary for you to list the Pai-l 77 heliport zones. We checked with Davict Crowncr
_ about the heliport, and he told us that it uscs tlie same traffic pariern as ather aircraft. That
riteans that the imaginary surfaces woulct also be the same, so there is no necd to list the
heliport zones separately.
1
.~o Intensity limitations oii commercial vnd induslrial uses should also be listed in the table.

RE: 1'roposcd Airport Haz:ard Overlay Ordinance ' Dcar Chairmaa Crosby: .
Than.k you for the opportunity to eomment on the proposeci A,irport Hazard Overlay
Ordinance. The Washington State Department of Tr~nsportation (WSDO`Q Aviation
Division supports the proposed amendment. `TITe believe it i.q an important step in ,
. protecting Felts Field Airport from encroachment by incomgatible development, and will
, help preserve the viability of the airport in tht: fuhue. • .
WSDOT Aviation works with local communities across Washingtvn State ta encourage a .
balance between preservatian of transportatibn i.nfrastructure and quality of life. in 1996, the Washington State I,egislatuxe amended the Growth Vianagement , Act to require.all
ciCies and counties, to protect airports from incompatible land uses thtough
comprehensive plaouing and developn.lent regulations. Through the Airport I.and Use
Compatibilicy program, WSDOT Aviation provides technical assistince to help jurisdictions camply with the law.
The city's propASed Airpart Haz.ard Overlay Wi.ll help protect the airgort from -
encroacbment. The amendment i.niposes height lim.its near tha aiiport to improve safcty,
and limats land uses that m.ay inter.£ece with airport operations and contribute to -health -
an.d safety concems for tihe community. 'GVe reeommend the city inelude its land use
compatibility and airlsart height hazards maps in the comprebeasive plan to reinforce
their ixnportance. To ftu-ther enhance the:se pmtections; the city vill be working with the .
Spokane A.irport Board on tlxe easement/covenant/clisclosure notice i.n coming motiths.
. We support this coIlaboration and look forwai•ci to working with both parties. '
'I'hese protections are importank for ihe airpart, 1 ?vhicli. suppbrts a'variety of aetivikie.s and ,

Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ❑ new business ❑ public hearing

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Dangerous Dog and Potentially Dangerous Dog Appeal procedures
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: SVMC 7.30.035 and.040
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Adoption of Ordinance 07-003 in early 2007 created
city-specific appeal procedures• separate from those adopted by Spokane County.
BACKGROUND: In January, 2007, the Council adopted new procedures for appeals of
administrative determinations relating to dangerous dogs and potentially dangerous dogs. This
. became necessary after the County Commissioners advised the City that they would no longer
hear such appeals for the City.
The City operated under these procedures over the past year. In early December, 2007, a
~ Spokane County Superior Court judge issued a ruling on a City of Spokane dangerous dog case
that caused us and Spokane County to look at our code provisions relating to such appeals. In
essence, the Court ruled that the City of Spokane's code did not provide sufficient due process
because it was not clear what rights an appellant had to review the evidence prior to the
hearing, and it was not clear that the City has the burden of proof to establish that the
administrative determination was correct.
In reviewing our provisions, there may be room to challenge on the same basis. As such, we
advise amending our appeal provisions to clear up these ambiguities.
