GOVERNING LEGISLATION: SVMC 17.90.070-080
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: NA
BACKGROUND: This is a Closed Record Appeal of a decision of the Hearing Examiner. The
record below has already been provided. Copies of the two appeals have been provided.
Appeals of this nature are described generally in SVMC 17.90.070-080. Specific rules for the
conduct of the Hearing have not yet been adopted by Council as part of the Uniform
Development Code adopted in September of 2007. Consequently the Council may adopt what
procedural rules it feels are appropriate and consistent with a Closed Record Hearing. The City
' Attorney has recommended that the previously adopted rules be used by the Council with an
exception for the deadline for filing briefs to allow the greatest opportunity for participation. A
copy of the correspondence sent to the parties with that recommendation is attached. The
response from one party is also attached.
OPTIONS: Adopt procedural rules; affirm or reverse the Hearing Examiner's Decision or
remand it for further proceedings.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Council Discretion

RE: Proposed 12ules of Prqcedure, Summerset Estates Appeal APP-02-08 and t1PP-03-08
Hearing Scheduled for Aubust 26, 2008
Dcar Spokane Valley Attorneys and Couneil Members,
I am off cially protesting conduc;ting an Appeal Hearing for Summerset Estates due to the
lack of legally adopted rules. Due to lack of a lmvful procedure and a legally prescribed
process, this public hearing would lack legal force of law.
Spokane Valley Attorney's office has no legal authority to make up rules. I do not agree
that your o.ff ce can substitute for the Spokane Valley City Council: Only Spokane
Valley Cit}, Council can legally adopt rules.
This decision must be appcalecl to the Superior Coiut but the La.nd Use Petilion Act
requires that a timeline be met that an apPeal must be filed within 21 days to meet the
legally adopiecl rules of LUPA_ (17.CW 36.70)
1n sumniaiy, there is no legal basis for Spokane Vallcy City Council to hold a Quasi- •
. Judicial Hearing ciue to the lack of rules admitted by Spokane Valley's Ofi-ice of City
Attonley, writtcn on August 1$, 2008 to all Parties to Appeal Al'P-02-08 and APP-03-08.
Sincerely=
Mrs. Mary Pollard

Vactoring Services with AAA Sweeping, LLC
BACKG RO U N D:
lViaintain.ing our stormwater system is important to protecting ground water quality and reducing floading on
public roads. Currently, Staff is conducting an inventory of every drainage strucfure located on City property or
within the public road riglat of way as part of the Washi.ngton State Deparhuent of Ecology Undcrground Injection
Control Frogram (CTrC). NVe are required to complete street by street inspecfions by 2011 and perforrtt an
asscssment of the d.rywells by 2013. After t2ie assessment, all drywells found that pose a threat to the groundwater must be replaced or repained. The structure information from the inspections is loaded into a. Geographic
information System (GIS) geodatabase. The geodatabase keeps record of which structures are dirty and in need of
cleaning. StafF identifies structures as "dirty"i.f they are full or half full, as measured to the top the structure, with
mud, silt, or debris. Using GIS, a list of dirty structures is generated and passed on to the contractor for cleaning.
Basically, the city is in erisis mauuagement and only cleaning the dirtiest structures. Good housekeeping procedures
should plan for the maintenance of each drainage strncture once every two years.
Based on what has been inventnried so far, Spokane Valley's stormwater system includes 7000 dMvells, 3000
catchbasins, 2000 curblsidewalk drops, 100.storm mznholes, 100 culverts, 4 pump systcros, 18 miles of storm pipe,
10 miles of stonri ditches, 47 gonds and many miles of swales. The clean, ing of ow stormwaxer system should .
follow Best Management PracYices ($iVIl') according to the Department of Ecology 2004 Eastern Washington
Stormwater Manual. The manual recommends aleaning catchbasins when the depth of debris reaches 60 percent of
the sump depth, as measured from the bottom of the basin to the invert of tho pipe out of the basin. (See
detai.l below) With 3,000 city-owned catchbasins that can fill up yearly with road debris, we are not keeping up
w7th the BMP. In 2006 and 2007 combined, only 200 of the dirtiest catchbasins were cleaned.

xt is the sacne story for drswel.ls. The manual recommends cleaning drytvelLs before the sediment depth reaches the
lowest row of slots providing outklow from the drywell barrel. (See detail above) With 7,000 city owned drywells
that drain street runoff directly to the aquifer, our crews havre cleaned only 400 of the dirtiest ones f.rom 2006 -
current. That leaves 6,600 drywells left t}aat are not being cleaned according to the BMP. Pollutants from road
runoff ends up trapped in the sediment at the bottom of a drywell. Our dryv,~ells need to be cleaned on a routine
basis to remove the contaminated sediment. Also, when drywell barrels get fiill of mud and silt and are not aleaned
rogularly, many tunes the material will leech out through the slots and will contaminate the drain field (plugging
the drain rock), which then needs to be dug up and replaced. With ground water quality (Aquifer) and liability (Flaoding) issucs considered, a regular maintenance progmm is
something that every Municipal should have. The City should be doing everything possible to engaae Best
Vlanagement Practices for maintainirig the system on a regular basis:
Even with an additional $90,000 this year for vactorina services, the City will only be able to clean about 150 more
of the dirtiest drywells and cntchbasins idcntified in the summer of 2007. Given the remaining time in 2008 we
feel 150 is the feasible number that can be cleaned. We have a list ready of approximately 200 full/half'full
structures identified so far this'year that need to be clcaned as soon as possible. Also, we did not anticipate cleaning 300 structures this year beaause as we inventory, we become more aware of extremely dirty dry•wells and •
catchbasins. Even after we get through clean.ing those 200, that still leaves tliousands of drnvells and catchbasins
not being cleaned according to the BtVfPs. We also have many culverts, ditches, curb and sidewalk ialets, swales,
and pipes that are not being cleaned. After several years of lack of maintenance to our system, you aet a"snowball
effect" and it bccome's very difficult at Yhat point to catch up. We need to at least try to maintain more than we
. currently are.
Staff is continuing to physically inspcct the dry wells and other structures to comply Nvith the iT1C program. Staff is becoming arvare of many drywells and catchbasins that aze well beyond the recommended level for cleaning that
is causing the drywells ta fail resultiug in floQding ancl othcr water control and water quality problems. A1so, as
we continua to inspcct and assess our drainage structures over the nea~t 5 years, we,.vill continue to better
undeestand the current state of our stormwater system. As we finish up our inventory and assessment for the LTIC
program in 2013, we will roll all the information into an overall long range stormwater program. This is a complex
issue that necds to be worl:ed tluough for a belter plan to niaintzin the enti.re system. Atigched are photos showing
wh1t we are maintaini.ng right now and w-hat is not beina maintained. , Public V1lorks Dire or Project Manager

yuestinn concerning verbiage in the ordinance about eliminating this orclinance should some other better
mechanism come about to hanclle streets like a street utility, Mr. Jackson saicl such was previously
discussed coneerning a TranspoRation BeneGe District, but not in connection with this ordinance. There
was bricf Council diseussion inclucl'►ng mention that this does not iiiclude street reconstruction; t}iat most

discussed this issue on several occasions arul examinecl several possible fundinn sources, but this was the suggestecl procedure; and mention that this is not giving the city a"windfall" as tltis will only maintain

Charlos Roach, 1451_8 E 5harv; said it was mentioned &boiA 280 per 1,000 that the County downloaded
and Spolcatie Val1ey could no longer collect, and ]ie asked how rnuch revenue did #ha# encampass yearly.
Mayor Munson rcpiied thflt the City only received that once, and Mr, Roach asked how much revenue
would it have been aruiually if it werc to have continued. lVlayar Munson said in 2003, it was
approximately $1.2 million_ Mr. Thompson responded that that figure was 21 or 22¢ and of what that
miglit generate for tGS that f rsk year, the first year we only received #13ree-fourths af that as we were not in
c Kistcnce for the entire year; and that it was perhaLps one mi llion or S 1. 3 millinn but it was only for that
first year, Mayor Munson added that tlie public vvas asked ta reinstat.e thaC 22¢ per 1,000, and the answer
was no by 60°fo even thongh it would have been used f.or a spccifilc purpose and had a sunset included.
M ayor Munsan invited further c~omments, and iyo further comments weie issued,
Councilmember Dempsey said she had been a pro~po~nent for this as she liad been under the impression
that if we got another tax as a street utElity, that this as this would cnd khis tele-phone tax; and said she is
disappointed tlyat is not the case; buC said she feels this is probably tlye least paiiiful way ta secure
revenues far roads. CoUncilmeinber C'iathmann added that there are few taxing mechanisms granled by
the State, and one is the utilily w; that hc favors this tax as it taxes businesses aiid residential, and
everyone uses khe roads and this is a gaod fair way ta spread the tax: and he said lo stay wilhin the present
$2, I milfion provided by #tie Staw in 4psoltne tax, would me-an only dni n g w inter plowina on aeteri als and
no pothole filling, and that service would be nat acceptable ta citizens; artd that we have a responsibility+
0 keep the excellent roads we were given by thc count}', in gnod shape. Councilmember Taylor added
that Council nevi~r wantq to ]iave to raise #axes, but #he present economy shows an increase in cost of
~ m atcrials, ]abor, and energy; and afl'er public~ safety, the top priority is to build, inaintain and p reserve our
infrastructure; and we Musi' hzive thc proper funding mechanism in place to maintatn the gooa roads vve
were given by the Cotinty; and that tliis tax is fair and equitable. Councilmeniber Schimmels added lhat
wc don't want W ge-t into a deficit situati on as seen elsewhere; thaf. th is may bc a stopgap band-aid fix but
it serves apurpose. Deputy Mayor De3ieniiy said in looking at tax bases in other munic3palities
theouerhout the state, we recognize #hat most use at le.ast several [egs of Che "lax stool"; and this region
choose not ta 115e one of I:hosc, i.c_, the B&O tax, and being a border cammunity, fl[3&.O ta?c is
detrimental to husincsses; so in foaking at other saurces. he said that if we receive legislatively a source
of revenue that would be more directly related ta the use af the roads, Iie wau1d vvant #o find away of
reiiioviiyg any otlier #axatian sf that source brings us up to the Icvel of senricc that we iyced; but to
maintain tha#. ievel oF servicc wc know the coinmunify expects, this tax is #he bes# direction. Nfayar
: Mtmson concl uded by remindin4 eveiyane we can °`pay n o w or pay latee," and if we want to see wli at it
laoks lifce to defray road mainlenance, a!] we necd do is laolc to the wcsf, and that anslxcr is not
acc~eptable fior this City; that cast of mat-erials such xs asphalt ~ind concreie i'his year have more than
tripled itom lxsl year, with no uidication af a reverse in tha# trend; and that he feels there is no other
choic.e ak this pnint; and it is not an easy choice in these economic times; and that lhis remedy would
prove Co be a s li[tlc a burdc n on taxpayers as possible as i# has a very large base,
Mayor EViunson mentioned thsC Spokane County has rcporWd that thc}' have enough f.unds in their road
I rnaintenance to meet $0lo of tneir rcquircrncnts; the City of $pokane Iias an eight million dollar aiynua]

Mr. Kuhta said that tonir* t's focus is Book lll: City Actions, which include the strect centee; street
network and streetscape improvements; per Mr. Kulita's Auguse 19, 2008 Memorandum, he briefly
explainecl about the City center section 3.1, and the lisl of strategies used to attract developers; that the
City actions include recommendaCions on street nerivork improvemcnts, wfiich includes the one-way/twwo-
way issue, and desired transportation system; he said there were intensive '►nteractivc workshops in 2006
on circulatinn and street design co gather ideas on the kinds of streets desired to mateh the eiry center
concept; and c•qnceming I:hat workshop, Mr. Kuhta said that out of fourleen tables of individuals with a
total of approximatety 100 individuals, only one taUle wantecl one-way; while the remainder wanted the
rivo ways on both Sprague and Appleway. Mr. Kuhta explained about the recommendations to complete
~ the nvo-way conversion of Appleway and Sprague and said I:hat will help enable the cily centcr aild
streng,then businesses along the con•idor as it establishes a clear gateway co the eity, and that it would also
eliminatc confusinn related to a one-way systEm, all while maintaining the desirable level of service, and
that this is the concept for riventy years hence. Mr. Kuhta then briefly explained the various stagcs needed
to accomplish this 1'lan. Mr. Kuhta saicl in response to Mayor ivlunson's queslion about funding, that we
have to have a plan before we determine how to pa}' 1'or this; and said that regarding the foure,s from
Spakane Regional Transportation Commission, it is imporfant: to get the capacity figures at the
intersections correct to ensure congestion is addressed.
Mayor Munson invited public comment, emphasized that no decisions have becn made on this plan, ancl
reminded everyone that Council will continue to acecpt Nvritten comments.
1. Bill Berry, 16010 E SpraaUG: said that the last time be spoke he stated that he owns three commercial
properties in whal will be the new zoning aiid the new street situation; that in concentrating on the
nrc?perty at 16010 E Sprague, he said his three properties w•iU enci up in four different zones with this
partieular property having lwo zcmes; that currenlly is it community com.mereia) which allows the
business and irnprovements for aclditions to the currcnl operation in the buildings, but uncler the proposfll
it would be the new lesser zoning, whieh will put the current strueturc in nonconformance; he said on this
property, there is a pre-located street sho~Nm going through the rear half of this propert}; the property is
565 feet deep, the road is proposed about the middle of that which is al the end of the current existing
structures; he said he, aan't get answcr from the 1'lanning Depactment or from the City on twro thinns:
when or where will the prelocatecl strcet be placed; ac►d he saicl dozeiis of other properties are Faeiiig
similar nre-locatecl street issues; as a hypothetical case, he said if he tverc to bring in an acceptable
permitted plan to builcl a}}ouse, a fnur-ple:c, a business office or whacever is allowed; and he spent the
money and even put in the street that is shown as a prc-located street; how woulcl he access wliatever he
wauld build; he saicl if he puts the stccet in there and Appleway is not done, even if this is some fillEen lo

in half; and he asl:cd if taxes would also drop; but he said if businesses are closed there are no sales taxes
collected for the city, property values will go down, which will end up as a domino effect, and said if you
can't collect money to run the city, Lhen propert}' taxes will have to be raise.d on hnmes.
3. Dick Behm, 9405 ` Spril ue: said he is representing Spokane Valley Business Association (SVBA): he
saicl that the majority of the members of the SVBA are business and property owners on 1'ines and Third;
and they also have members across the valley including residential prnperty awners; he said they are in
favor of the lraffic revision as planned for the reasons testified to previously; he previously sent Council
an e-mail which tlley should have, and said khat the public has had unprecedented opportuniry to
participate in diis plan; there have been more than 136 news media items on this projeet since the project
began; the Plan was covered by the Valley News Herald, the Spokesman 12evicw, Journal of Business,
Building Magazine and various radio and telephone stations; there is a link tn information on the front
page of the City's website, surveys %vere condiicted by mail and telephone asking citizens what iheir
vision is for the new city; he said the answers were seriously consiciered and many eitizen ideas were
incorporated into the plan by the Consultants; that as of today, there have bcen riwenty-four public
meetings and presentations to the City Council, which does not include all the Planning Commission
meetings during their cleliberations, nor dnes it include all the public workshops held by the Cansultants;
which hundreds of citizens attended, and presenlations macie to organizations like Ki~vanis, Rotary and
the Chamber; he said all those mcetings were Nvell attencied and the majority of thosc attending approved ; the plan; he saitf it is expected not everyone will be in favor of all aspects bf the plan, buk the majority are
in favor; he snid that now is not the time For opposition; everyone has had more I:han enough time to voice
their concerns; he said as the plan is implemented; therE Nvill be problems, and there will be fle:cibility to
address those at the time; ancl those who have legitimate conecrns had the opportunit_y ancl wcre invitecl to
participate, ancl those who did not should not eomplain but should work with the Ci .ty to resolve those
problems; and he said that staff is more lhan willing to «<ork with everyone herc who has a problem; and
he's never met any SCaff ttifio was not willing to bencl ovcr bacl.wards to help resolve a problern.
4 Uean Grafos 16120 E Sprasue: said he is opposed to the impQSition of the city's corridor plan; as a
laxpayer with com.mercial properiy which will be dnwmzoned and become noneonForming, he asked
Cou►ncil to address the following issues: st:reet cflnstrucliqn calls for expendihues in 2007 dollars i»
e:ccess of $41 million; he said this is an unfunclcd mandate and obviously this means a tax increase; he
said the City's Nvebsite's strcet fund problem 42 explains a shortfall in fimdinb over the next several years
of $ 10 million annually in the street fimd Co maintain ancl repair the existing roads, rind he questioncd hoNv
we will fuiid maintenance on existing streets without tax increiises; not to mentiofl the streets Nvhich don'C
yEt exist; he asked how the city plans to fund the rnillions of dollars for the revision of off=ramps at I-90
proposed by the Transnortation Plan, when a letter from the Washington State ]aepartmenl of
Transportation sent to the Planning Staff, not only states there is no funding available from either the
DO'1' or from federal highways, but that the letter stated that the City was told lo cease and desist from
portraying this modification as aWSDOT iniprovement; he said this March 12, 2008 letter was addressed
to Senior Planner Scott Kuhta; he said obviously lax increases will be required by this grandiose plan antl
won't be shared by the City Manager whose residence is in Battleground, Washington; or the City
Cornmunil'y Development 17irector who lives in Liberty Lake; or by Senior 1'lanner Scott Kuhta who is

5. .Tohn Keames. 11128 E Sprague; said he is concerned that ta:ces will have to be inereascd substantialty
to fimcl thesc imqrovements; he said many businesses along Sprague are strugglinb now and an incrcase
in properiy laxes will qrobably fnrce same to rclocate or go out of business; and this won't have a posilive
' affeet on the city; he saicl another huge potential cost is the requirement that lanclowners will only be able
to invest 15% nf their property's assessed value in renovating their property, or diey'll have to bring their
buildings up to the plan's standards; which will be an insurmountable cost to most landoNvners; and he
asked who will choose not to renovate their buildings; he said no one will want to incur the expense of
ztdcling to their buildings in order to move dhem closer to the streel riDht-of-way; and the cost associated
with the road improvement in front of their propercy will be expensive, and said the burden will be
inerea.sed by the demand that the landowners create landscaped area and plant trees that they'll have to
maintain; hc said landowners wikh more than four acres, and potentially others as well, will be responsible
for giving up a portion of their land and build inlerior roads that meet city standards; he asked Council to
consider the cost Qf adhering to this requirement; and said this raises the issue of condemnatian without
compensation; he said the same is for property owmers on the propASed Appleway corridor as they gel
downzoned &om commercial to residential; and }ie said the whole concept of a cenlral corc is a great
dream but unrealistic; he said we are nnt San Francisco or Seattle and there are no attractions to draw
peoplc in; and said he is opposcd to the plan for the cost.
Councilmember Ta ylor asked if Mr. Kuhui could aivc an explanation of the 15% rule which the Planning
Commission changed to 20%., and to explain what triggers the re;ulalions. M.r. Kuhta explained that the
draft included a 15% rule and the Planning Commission increased that to 20%; that exterior
improvemcnts - the outside of buildings like a facelift or ehangina the windows, diat meet 20% of the
assessed value nr the apnraised value, will neeti to conform, but that only includes the architectural
requirements of the plan, which means buildings will not have to be moved to the corner or do anything
O else other than the archiCeelural stFUidards. ln reading from the draft plan, "Interior tenant improvements
shall not bc required to conform to the requirements of this Code" - so if there is a change inside, he
explained, nothing necds to be done regarding the code; but if there is a building addition which is grcater
than 20% of the floor area of tlle building; then the requircmcnts of the Code must be met. imayor
Munson reiterated that if nne does a cosmetic change to the outside of the building, there is no
requirement to mave the building; and if that change is 20% of the value of the buildine, then it must
conform to the code for the stAndards, not by rnoving the building. Mr. Kuhta Agreed and said that it

the residential corridorsJstrip;.and if vlr. Kuhta woulci explain what uses are allowed under the residential

Appleway as proposed, allows residential, whieh is multi-famiiy, townhouses; all kinds of re-sidential
developments, it allnws office uses, and corner store retail up lo 5,000 square feet in A mixed use building,

6. Richard Brvant, 12025 East 315`: said he is a member of the Inland Empire Rail Transit Assoeiation for
rail transportation in the metropolitan area; he said the plan for transporcatinn is a workable plan, but therc
is a problem in that the corridor is designcd to go all the way to Sulliviin, but said the City doesn't own
the property, ancl hc asked how the City will acquirc the property; he said the deed states that the property
is reserved for high-capacit}' transit; he said tliis is a superb chance to become a model ciry a..~ the cQrridor

to Trails which is in the process of creating a national bike trail from Chicago to Seattle throu;;h the old Milwaukee corridor, which rtms thrnugh Spokane, which Hrould be a boon for the city to have a green belt
of light rail, which would i.mprove air qullity standards, and he said the EPA is in the pracess of making
the air stanclards stricter; and his question is how is the City going to acquire that property Ihat the City
does nnt nwn bu[ plans W put a road thrnugh, which is reservcd for high-capacity transit.
7. Richard Harrnon, 17610 E vIission: he said that in reference to t't 1 of "identifying opportunities for
publie information and involvement," that the public has given up; they've told Council a hunclred cimes
they don't want half of what we are trying to get and they dnn't even come to the meetings any more; he
suggestecl putting the p13n to a public vate, which would be public service; and hc su-gestecl nat rimming
this through as that wnuld be a publie disservice; ancl regarciing the City's vision of zoning; he asked
about the puhlie's vision; he said people have come to meetings and people don't comc as the people beC
worn down when Council keeps havino nurnerous meetings; he said the public ean't cnme every week;
that Council wants support for purchase of a site for a City Hall; and said Council wants support for a
county library; but he said that the County library was voted down primarily because the Council was
trying ro use that as an anehor for a City Hall thal people cion't want; he said this is not because people
don't want a library, but it is beeau5e t-hey cion't wcint to help Council do these things that Council wants
to do and use a library as a means ro the end. He also said he does not want the streets to chanoe back lo
twaway as now the traffc is easy; the people are used to it; he said it was bad in the beginning, but now
people aee used to it and they want it; he feels that anything that comes up in all Cotincil's meetings
should be put to a vote,
Jack Bean, 1 1717 T: 25'b Avenue: tie said t:his is not his first meeCing on this issue; he said that every
meeting he has come to, the majority of people are not in favor of this; thai they don't want to spend
rnoney; and believe the couplet is a goad people mover; he said in looking at the difference on the
couplet-; anci the Cime you oet off the frceway from the time you get to the end at University; thcn go down
on Sprague and heacf to Sullivan; he said people run red lights because they are tired of being jammed in
trafE`ic; people sit at traffic lights with cars ninning; 1ie said that earlier Council mentioned about half of
t.he cilies in Washington are in troublc finaneially, and he suggested we not follow them and Said thcrc is
no financing for a city hall; he said there is no draw for a downtown; hc said this a-ea has little
c;ommunities, IikE where City Hall is now - the Alton Communih', and he saicl that people will not eome
down and walk around the skreeLq, they hcive their neighborhoods rvhich is the draw of the Valley; he saicl
people won't come down tn the City Genter and it won't be used in the way it is being sold to the public;
and said that the pcoplc have said no over and over; and said lha[ he will remember each Councilmember
and ne,r1: time they run for elec.tion he'll remember, ancl the only way to get the people's Nvay donc is to
vote chese Cnuncilmembers oul.
9. Art Britton, 18812 k Fuclid: said he agrees wilh the previous spealcer; said he has never becn on lhat
stretch of road when it's been congested; not like Sprague north on Sullivan which is highly congested; he
saicf there is no point in tearing up streets that are hanclling traffc; that the University Center is not the
place fc,r the City I-Iall; that the Valley is growing the opposite wiiy; he said the this area here
[CenterPlace] would be a gand place for a City 1-iall; he said that Universit:y City went down the tube
several years ago, and that will not cnme back up again and City Center is not the way to da it.
10. Joe Delay. 5426 S Quail Ridee Circle, Spok3ne: he saicf he is speaking on behalf of h,.,o properties on

~ Casino; he said opposes this proposal although he knows that Council wants to do the best possible fbe
the public and business property owners along thal area; but the queslion is what benefit is thcre in
chaneino the zone in this area; and said that in lool:ing at the proposed zonc change, the Washington State
Liquor Control Board will be a nonconforming use; and he said they have a clause in their lease that if a
municipality changes the law that does not permit t:heir legal operation at that site, thcy can terrniriate the
lease, and slid there is currently a ten year lease as the Spokane Valley Planning Commission granted a
building permit to remndel that store at a cost over $100,000, so the Liquor Board would have a modern
facilit}; and he said that under the permittecl uscs, this i.:iquor Store would not be permitted nor would it
be permiCtecl undcr a conditional use; and that Couneil is here to help the public and the property owners
and he asked Council to rejcct this proposal. Fle added that since the one-way was put in, Kitchen
Interior's rent was reduced by 50%; before Pizza H..ut closed and before the one-way was put in, their rent
was cut 33%; and the remaining rentals in that area have been affected as wcll; and subsequent to doing
that, he said he received a um. bill from the Spokane County Treasurer seeking to dnuble his taYes xt that
location three years ago; he eYplained that the rent is being cut so the County dctermined not to raise his
ta.Yes; ancl he said that there are laws in this state that state that zoning laws that result in relatively little
gain Qr benefit to the public, while inflicting serious injury nr lnss on the property owmers, have ahvays
bEen held by the court to be confscatory and void; and }ie said this plan is not in the benefit of the
property owners or Spokane Valley or business aperators.
11. Nlike Delav 1719 S Roclcy Ridge Drive: said he feels Cnuncil has the public's best interest at lieart;
and said that it is sttteed that Council wants to build in cooperation with the property owners and witli the
support of the community, a city center, aiid a desirable community; and he said he wan[s to see that
happen; he suggests ttlere are some witys Co obtain the desirable result, which can be achieved by having
mixed use in the city cenCer, maybe some people living abnve and retail; ancl that Council wants to see
0 buildings closer to the strcets and parking in the rear; ar►d instead of inereasina regulations which have the
affect of down zoiiing or creating blight, the goal can be achieved through some taa incentives; by having
commercial used for apartments or high residential use, you get deferred or suspended real estate taxes for
five or ten years; and if the cles'►rc is miaed use, he suggests council think af a way to tie that into the tax
structure; he said this leads to the developer working with the plan while still having a financial gain due
to np one paying some t<Lxes for a time in order to recoup what he has to ao which may be not as desirable
without the incentive. He than.ked Council for this oppoctunity to speak; ancl mentinned "green building
components" could also be addecl to the regulations by eiiticing developers, if they use the "green"
components, they get a defennent or tax reduction for a short period of time.
12. Jim Gollv, 1841 N Salmon River Lane: spoke in coiulectio❑ with moving trzffic, mentioned
synchmni7ing the valley traFFc lights; that the lights can be frustrating sometimes leading to accidents
due to red-linht runners; and said the synchronizing of lights would also lower polluti4n due to less idling
of cars; and he said he supports beatification and moving traffic.
13. Jane Fra»ks. 12508 E. Skyview Avenue; she said she has attended many council meetings to see this
process; as a senior she said she would likc to see ihe one-wsy roads extended fiirtlier; slie said she is not:
a business owncr; aiid said that most of the seniors would lil:e to see it go further instead of back to Nvo
way and have to learn all over again.
14. Glenn Burclick, 16215 E Sprague: echoed the previous gentlemaii's appreciation to Council and
thanked Council for listening and saicl he realizes the hard job of trying to make everyone happy; he said
that he only found out about the zone chanoc yesterday; and said that when they did a zane change on
thcir property ten years ago, they had to give a month's notice, pay $1800, and put up a sip, and mail out
0 notiee to ncighbors; Fu1d he snid he doesn't know how it slipped by notifying everyone; ancl he realizes
that it is a big job; ancl he said that it is taking a big step far sUmeone who has aS 100,000 piece of
prnperty and knows that something was going to happen to it; he said he appreciates the iclea of keeping it

two-way; and said that iC people want a quick route easthwest, that I-90 is agooc1 way to do that; and
regarding down zoning, he said when he bought his property is was zonecl B2 which gave lhem a lot of
clifferent direecions to go, but the last rczone they lost a lot of potential for the property; and going into the I
new zone will take away even more allcrnatives; he said he appreciates wajiting a good looking city with
trees, but agrees that maybe making tim inccntives or somc ather way to have the people buy in would be
preferable to being dictated to; and he said that he doesn't understand how with their property, someone
would tell lhcm if they want to c1o a tire shop you can, but not a book store; ancl some of those intrieaeies
don'l make sense to him ancl the aptions should Ue left more open.
15. Jae JovanOvich. 9610 E First: he said that many businesses depcnd on the eff cient transportation of
the couplet; he said that a hvo-way systEm on Sprague, which they had many years of unhappy experience
with; will havc several negative aff'ccts, on the timeline.ss of delivcriiig their serviccs; he said nf those
wishing, to go back to two way traifc, thitt there has heen a lot of attention that the one-way traffic is the
cause of the business failtires: but he said there are other relevant factors which affected the businesses on
Sprague; he said there a'e bunchinas of similar retail establishments on Sprague, such as Purniture stores,
fast food re.slauralrts; aulo or truck aceessory stores; and said that clustering similar business means that
unless there is a huae and continuing demand for those services, sotne will fail; he suggested too many
c4mpetitors and low margins had agrcater negative affcct on the demisc of t}iose businesses on Sprague
then the one-way traffie; and added that widl the requirements for landscapi►lg, building design
improvements, signage, winclows, narking and other things heapcd on property wwners, that would cause
greater rales; and askeci if the current businesses hctve a difticult time pa}'ino rent payments now, he• asked
how the future uncicr this plan would be brightcr; he said there are not enaugh people living in the
corridor area to suppnrt the businesscs an those arterials; the residents are not wealthy, and said if the
corridor wilh its safe wide lanes, limited traffic lights, is slowed down by adding two-way tralTie, many
mntorists will look for different routes to the freetivay; and thercfom the desire Co find alternatives to
Spra;ue and Appleway will cause the opposite affecl on the livelihoocl af businesses and prnperty owners. ,
16. Gene Hinkle. 11916 E Sprague: he• said t.here are about 1300 propcrty owners on the si:Y miles of
SpragueJAppleway and he suggested chat 1000 to 1200 of these oppose tliis plan; he said 90% are
opposed to changing the couplet and he said hc daesn't know how the Flanning Comrnission can
recorn►nend this after all the nieetings lhat 1ie attended, which was almost all, with about 90% testimony
of don't mess with the couplet; he Suggested there is no mflndate for this plan; flnd he mentioned the law
of unintended cnnsequences; he said t11aC 80 to 90% of the residents and business owners oppose this
conversion; he said that ten years ago he worked for five years to hclp create dhis cit'y; and perhaps this is
a result of the law of Lmintcnded conscquences, but he said at least we havc a vroice now whieh is better
than just having one county eommissioner; he said if this goes ahcad, there will be a mass of opposition
and we don't want to be a dysfijnctional city with cndless litigalion; he said the plans lo cnhance a
relatively small area from University to the freeway along Sprague to benefit a small numbcr of
businesses ancl property owners is way out of hancl; he said the Universily Mall was forced to f.iil and that
is where Council wants to lacate a city center; he suggeste.d Council drivr along there and look at the
businesses to see hnw many have shabby appea.rance; he said he opposes much of t.his plan arid questions
the responsibility of the City to attempt to makc those propertiy owners successFiil; he said your missi0n
should be to crcate a level pla}ring fielcl; he said he went to City Hall this week and asked for a mission
statement for the City of Spokane Valley and he said he was told there is none, they said you have a
vision statement but not a mission statement. Mayor iN2unson responded that that information is incorret;t;
and he asked Mr. Hinkle to come back again to CiCy HaU and he would be given a copy of the mission
statemenc. Mr. I-linkle eontinued and said staff cnulcl not produce a mission statement; and he adcled that
the City should be creating a level playing field for all letal businesses with fire, police and good roacls;

said she came to every workshop and meeting, and she said now we are down to the final stages with
hearings on Aook 3, and she asked where are sections 3.1 and 3.1.1 on the City Center and City Centee
Civil Facilities, and she said that they are finally here tonight; she said the planning department is more
interestecl in fast tracking this plan to adoption than wrorrying about details and unintended consequences
for small businesses and citizens; and that the public has had their chaiice to weigh-in and that the public
had better ` just get over it and move on," she asked if the ylanning I7epa.rtment has given Council
satisfactory answers to Council's que,stions; and if they told Council how many businesses have been
downzoncd; or how many will be made nonconforming; or etplained the impace of being nonconforming;
and she asked Council if they are aware of the serious insurance and lending issues the nonconforniing
businesses face; she asked if inenlion was made about how expensive the archileccural and developmcnt
standarcls arc or of the per capita income nee_ded to make the envisioned city center successful; and she
asked w'hy millions should go forwa.rd to enrich a select few; settinS them up to compete with other retail
developments which were built with private dollars and exist through free markets; she asked Council to
slow down and consider carefully all the plan's ramifeations; anci to listen to the citizens over the
consultants and planning department, she asked Council not to let Spokane Valley just be anodier notch in
a consultant's or planner's belt and she said the best solution may be to build just a civic center, librar_y,
and a city hall on the land already owmed at Mirabeau, extend the couplet ancl give the Comprehensive

and one a center-turn lane, and Applcway would be three lanes, one lane each direction with a centcr turn
Inne; and said now there are five lanes westbound on SpragLie; and the proposal is three e_astbound and
three westbound; and said hc is confused how you ca» move traffic «<hen ttle traffic lanes are reduced;
and said it rnakes no sense to him; he urged Cnuncil to take 1:hei.r time anci think about having lhis put to
the vote; he asked if the 1200 business owners hflve been contflcted about beuig downgraded and the Area
zone changed; and said if the buildings burn down, the insurance companies won't pay the a5sessed
value: and he asked if the 20% is based on the current value Qr after the downgraded and assessed value,
which mcans if his property is worth a half million no«r, then it is rezoncd residential and is re-assessed
and hc is nonaonforming, it's a quarter million dollars, which is more like 10% for a remodel then; and he
said there are a lot of Litt:le areas that need attentioii; he said he doesn't know what kind of grip the
University City property owners have on Council, bccause they are driviiig that main corc that has io be

cnrridor; he saicl therc arc no anchors or businesses committed to that U-city area, or at least he has not

everyone thus tyin~ up property owner's hands for years to come.
Gouncilmember °lavlor said there have been somc comments toni?ht regarding the availability of

~ 22. Chris Polito. 1313 S Mica Park Drive: exPlained that in looking at the plan's concePt, it is nice to see
interest in improving a city center, he is happy to see that the University area has been chosen as that
place is in eeonomic trouble; and the pictures mskes it look wondcrful and his family would aetually
consider living there; but his eoncern is with the roacis, and he asked Council to just leave the roads alone;
and as a person who travels the ares daily, the two and a half minutes saved cquals a 73% increase in his
travel time; he feels is it unrealistic to think by changing the roads, businesses will magically show up; the
reason is because there is no reason to go there; his parents live south of Spol:ane but will drive to Cpeur
d'Alene to go to Red 1.obster; and said it doesn't matter how far, if there is somewhere pcople want to go,
they will go; he mentioned the Cottage Cafe on the corridor, and said the place is generally packed; that
the place is appe3ling; hc said he is corncerned that it appears the City is trying to micro-manage a lot of
business Awners concerning zoning; creating a plan and zoning the property before an idea of how it's
going to happen, he feels the ta.~c dollars should be focused on creating the core, and if you have a corc,
you will have a reason for people to go there; ancl then businesscs will show up; he said he loves the one-
ways, and would love to see that eatended all the way to Liberty Lake; he mentioned the need for light
rail, and saicl if wc had a light rail with stops, t}iere would be reason for people to be therc and said he is a
strong suppoetee of rail; and he said rather than spend money on re-working roads that work, it should be
spent creating a dcstination for people to go to, like having a park in that area; or maybe renovate the old
Home Base to a convention centcr or a stadium; or add a movic t.heater; more things like popular f-amily
restaurants.

she is not a property owner in that area, and is hopeful that if she had been she would have received a

~ downsized that decreases the a.mouni of taa revenues which rolls over to increase ller property taa as
money has to come from somevvhere; she said we don't have big industries like othcr cities who have
been successful with these kinds of plans; she said she drove dowm Garland from Wall to Ash and she
amazcd; that there were businesses there about fifty years ago but no one goes there anymore; and she

move on; and vir. Scott saicl that "that's the last t-hing l'm going to do Mr. Kuhta, l'll guarantee you that."
He further stated that as far iis the plitn is coneerned, how ztnyone can Inok at this plan and place a blanket
of nonconformiry over t}1c whole corridor while down zoning multiplc properties down the proposed
Appleway Boulevard which hasn't been built yet, from University easl, and probably won't be built for at
Icast ten or fifteen years; and to encumber all those properties, he said is ahnost a taking; and he said hE
hopes Cnuncil looks at a lot of the different neDaiive aspects of this plan ancl not jtut the pretiy pictures.
25. Milce Dalton, 5617 E Spraguc: said lie was goin- to say the samc thing that Mr. Seott mentioned; he
said he had plans about building out in that area snd started to build on Appleway; and said when this
started in 2006, he was ne<<er infornied abo►It the wnrkshop, and he is a small business owner on Sprague,
he saicl he spohe wilh people wMo attended t}lose workshops and he was told the samc thing as mcntioned
~ before: that the Spokane Valley Business Association was the predominant group of people there; and he
said diat Michael Preedman refers to the tables and the workshops and the public input, and Mr. Kuhta
did as well today; and he addecl that there are a lot of nice people here wha have been very helpful and he

acl:nowledges that a lot or work was put into ttlis and he feels the Council has the public's best intention
in mind; but he said he feels those wrorkshops were not rcprescntative of'thc public, ancl that we got off on
the wrong fodt from the beginning, and he suggested checking that roster; he said he kept track tonight;
that what vlr. Freedman refers to the 13 out of ] 4 uibles at the workshops were in favor of these chanDes;
and Mr. Kuhta expressed that as well, but tonight, if it «<ere put to a vote, he said he comes up with
hventy-riwo opposed and t:hree for; and said he attended many meciings since lhose workshops, and
suggestcd Council look at the input from the public, which is on t.he website, that those numbers shnw
similar results. He said his main conccrn is the traffic but the traffic problem has becn fixed and he'd like
to sec it stay; aiid if tlie traffic changes he'll be afFeceeel negatively; and his business is on Appleway, but
if it chantes, Chere will be no reason for people to coine Appleway if they can come on Sprague and go
back nn Sprague.
26. Tony I..azanis, ] 0626 EEmpire: he said he spenl twenty years workin~ for better ~:hin~;s 1'or 1:he valley;
and spent lots nf time and mQney, and thousands of hours to get this city incorporated; and said he feels
downgrading is not good; that we incorporated to hclp people and not to hurt them; I.hat we spend a lot oC
money for planning, but he said he doesn't diink the money is there and shouldn't stick a few people to
pay for it; and said he llopes Council will forbet about it; as we have to help people and businesses to do
bette r.
27. Dan Harper 9020 Fast Sprapue: said there llsve Ueen a lot of great comments tonight; he said he grew
up in ttle valley; said thac U-city clied because it wasn't hooked to the free,%va}; and lllat it was a traffic
issue tihen (in the 60's) and will still be a traffic issue_; he said Spokane's downtown city center is not six
miles tong; and he said he cfoesn't know how we gqt to a plan that include.s six iniles; Mc said this is a
grandiose idea to make this utopia but we are going about it the wrona way; and he just knew abnut this
befnre the last meeting, about the zoning issue, and that we keep discovering people who are just finding out about the zoning change; he saicf he has had pruperty on east Sprague for thrce years ancl has never '
received anything and hatl no idea this had anything to do tvith zoning; aiid he thought it was about
building a city center and changing the road; and he said he doesn'C take the downgrading of his property
very lightly; and saicl he views the arbitraiy changing of the zoning of his propeiTy as stealing his kids'
inheritatice; he said if a member of the public has to petition to change thcir zoning, and put up n sign ancl
notify people in thc neighborhood to change the zoning, but City planning can just do it without any
feedback; and said changing all the zoning in thaf six-mile scction cloesn't make sense; he saic1 t.hat
Spra~Tue used to be ttiree lancs each way with a center turn lane; and now to chAnge back to nvo laries,
with one center lane doesn't seem co be movino forwarcl.
28. Garv Austin, 1.5906 r Sprague Avenue: he said he has been in the Spokane 1nd Sprague Avenue
business area for 38 years; said he moved further east as Faglc Hardwarc wanted their propertl; and saicl
he signeca a long terni lease on his properiy tn a Iarbe company, for Cwenty years, and part ef that lease
gives him a frst right of refusal; or they can offer to buy the property frnm him; and he feels if we go to
them now or propose they bu?r his property, he'd have to disclose what is going on now; he said he
learned two wceks ago that his property was de-zoned from the highest and best usage down to the neYt
lowcst; and he said if he wants to build he has to petition and put a sign on his property; that he went to
the City's pennit center for a procluct thal he sells, that he wanted to take a 1995 model manufactured
home and put it on it loC Chat he has in Spokane Vslley, and was told that it can only be new; so that if he
has a friend who will move an old house, and he can put that 1935 model site-built home on a piece of
properly he oNvns if he brings it up to code, which hc said he can do; he questioncd why hc can`t put in a
used 1995 manufactured home that meets tlac same codes just because it is not new.
29. Mark 1-Ienderson, 831 S Shelly Lake I anc: said he feels as elected officials, Council }las to be
listening careCull}' to thcsc c.ornments about people not receiving notice about something that would affect their property; and said he feels it would not be right to take aetion without their input; said he favors the

city center and feels it is a good idea to move in that area as it is blighted; but he is opposed to the
complete rezoning nf Sprague Avenue; he said he has attended several meetings and he hears people do
not want Spraaue put back the way it was; and hc ,aid he hopes Council wiJl move fonva.rd by doing
what the people want; he saicl this process has causecl them to stop growth in this are.a; he said they are
expanding in odler areas and not here and find it uncomfortable they don't know what wil) happen with
Sprague and Appleway anct with ttieir property; and won't invest more money here; and if the cvrong
decisions are made, he said they will leave Snokiine Valley completely.

Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business 0 new business ❑ public hearing
❑ information ❑ admin. report ❑ pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: First Reading.Ordinance 08-017: Amendment to Municipal Code to permit
certain accessory structures to exceed the height limits in the Commercial, Office, Mixed Use and
Industrial Zones.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 36.70A.390 and RCW 35A.63.220.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: This information was presented as an administrative report
at the August 12, 2008 Council meeting.
BACKGROUND: : On May 5, 2008, Mr. Schultz, on behalf of Wolff Enterprises, LLC, applied for a
code amendment to allow certain accessory structures to exceed the height limits in the City's
Commercial, Office, Mixed Use and Industrial zones. A similar provision is already in place in the
City's Residential areas.
ANALYSIS: Spokane Valley Municipal Code Section 17.80.150(6) provides approval criteria that
amendments of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code must meet. Those c(iteria include:
1. The proposed amendment(s) are consistent with the applicable provisions of the
Comprehensive Plan.
2. The proposed amendment(s) bear a substantial relation to the public health, safety,
welfare and protection of the environment.
Staff Comment: In its Land Use Goals, the Comprehensive Plan calls for a wide array of industries,
as well as a variety of housing, retail, and other services. The Economic Goals include provisions that
allow for a flexible regulatory environment. The majority of the items proposed herein are directly
related to commercial or industnal development. Thriving industrial areas are an important
component of the city's economy. The types of businesses that would utilize this exception are also
the type of businesses that provide living wage jobs. In many cases, heights vrhich exceed the
current minimum ara required for the proper function of such industries. In other circumstances, items
that exceed the height limits are traditional architectural items such as church steeples or flagpoles.
Items such as parapet walls provide buffering for rooftop mounted equipment. Allowing exceptions to
the height requirement provides a certain measure of flexibility for developers, while still meeting the
intent of the plan overall.
On July 24, 2008, a study session was held before the Planning Commission where they
recommended approval of this amendment.
OPTIONS: Proceed as proposed, or as modified; or direct staff further.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Suspend the rules and approve Ordinance 08-017.
BUDGETlFINANCIAL IMPACTS: None.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: WSDOT Agreements: Urban Ramps Paving 8 Mainline PCCP
Rebab Project (#0099)
GOVERNING LEGISLATION:
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: July 8, 2008, lnformational iNemo; August 12, 2008
Admin Report fram staff. BACKGROUND: The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) approached
the City earlier this year regarding a project they have planned for construction next year. The
project involves repaving the I-90 on- and off-ramps.
During review of their project limits, WSDOT staff noticed additional rutted pavement beyond
their right-of-way and within Spokane Valley right-of-way. Thus they asked if we wantetl to
participate with them on their project and extend the paving limits to include these areas within
our rights-of-way.
There are three areas associated with the WSDOT project as described below and shown on
the attached maps:
• 4th Ave. between Havana & the EB Custer St. on ramp
• Broadway Ave. on the south side of I-90
• Argonne & Mullan, north & south of I-90
Public VWorks staff recommends including these three areas with WSDOT's urban ramp project
and thus included this additional work in our recently adopted TIP as the WSDOT Urban Ramp
Projecfs - Broadway, Argonne, Freya UC.
In order to have our areas included with WSDOT's project, two Local Agency Participating
Agreements are required. These Agreements outline the conditions of reimbursement from the
City to WSDOT for our portion of the project. The first agreement is for reimbursement of
Preliminary Engineering costs and the second is for reimbursement of Construction costs.
OPTIONS: 1) Approve execution of both Local Agency Participating Agreements related to the
WSDOT Urban Ramp Project, or 2) Provide additional direction to staff.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to approve the execution of both Loca)
`-J Agency Participating Agreements related to the WSDOT Urban Ramp Project
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: This project has been programmed into the 2009
Transportation Improvement Program and the 2009 Budget. However, per the VJSDOT ,
agreements advanced payment of S3,600 and $45,000 are required to be paid for the ,
Preliminary Engineering phase and the Construction Phase respectively. There are sufficient
contingency funds in the 2008 Capital Grants Fund to cover these costs.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Graffiti Abatement Update,
GOVERNING LEGISLATION:
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: March 10, 2008 Admin report; August 12, 2008
Informational memo
BACKGROUND: For several months staff has been attempting to identify potential approaches
to dealing with graffti in the City of Spokane Valley. It was learned that there is an established
graffiti abatement program through a Neighborhood Accountability Board (NAB), a juvenile
justice diversion pragram. Details of this program were described in an informational report by
Deputy City Attorney Cary Driskell on August 12. (see attached)
SCOPE Director Rick Sc4tt will present an update on SCOPE's current role as active
participants in the graffiti management program in Spokane County and the City of Spokane
Valley. In coordination with the Gang Enforcement Team (GET), SCOPE volunteers monitor a
graffiti hot line, receiving information from citizens who may call in locations where graffiti has
been observed. SCOPE volunteers are then sent out to identify, report and evaluate the
community impact of the graffiti in question. The next step is to advise the home / property
owner of their options in dealing with the graffiti.
SCOPE will c4ntinue to actively seek other solutions to deal with the growing graffiti problem in
the City of Spokane Valley, including education of community members, school leaders and
students regarding the effects and impact of graffiti.

AGENDA ITEM T17LE: Grafflti abatement update
GOVERNING LEGISLATION:
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: March 10, 2008
BACKGROUND: As the Council is aware, staff has been trying to identify potential approaches
to dealing with graffdi that appears in our City. Staff presented information on March 10, 2008
regarding potential goals and outcomes from a successful pragram may look like. The Council
has made clear that it does not want to re-victimize innocent property owners whose property
has been vandalized.
One of the propasa{s was to consider making graffiti a nuisance under SVMC 7.05. The
; question would then become how to best get abatement of such nuisances without re-
victimizing property owners.
In searching for a solution, staff became aware of a juvenile justice diversion program that
• already has an established grafftti abatement program. In short, a number of juvenile offenders
with relatively minor charges are diverted out of the Court system and into vvhat is called a
Neighborhoad Ac,countability Board (NAB). In order to get the charge adjudicated by the NAB,
they have to explain what they did, why they did it, and draft a plan on how the offender is going
to "pay their debt" to society. This generally indudes some community service. The NAB
program is operated by Spokane County, and already operates a graffiti abatement program in
the City of Spokarte through the COPS offices. They have all of the equipment and paint
(donated), as well as supervision by the NAB folks. They apparently have 5 or 6 different calors
to choose from.
The way it is set up to work is that COPS sees graffiti on a property, gets the property owmer to
sign a release and waiver (attached for review is a copy of one that wauld be used in our City),
and then faxes that to the folks at NAB. NAB then schedules it far an upcoming Saturday, and it
gets done
In an effort to best utilize the services offered by NAB, to minimize the ovork load for our staff,
and to avoid re-victirnizing property owners, I reoommend you consider the following process for
graffiti abatement:
1. SCOPE finds out about graffiti either through proactnre means or by referral (either from
private citizens or City employees);
2. SCOPE oontacts the property owner tv discuss abatement with them, first seeking to have
the property owner abate it themselves. If so, the problem is sotved.
.
3. If the property owner will not abate the graffiti, or cannot due to age or physical limitations, the
- SCOPE volunteer would ask them to review and sign the releaselvvaiver form autharizing NAB
to enter their property and paint it over. If so, NAB would schedule it and the problem is `
solved. . 4. If they do not agree to either abate it themselves or to allow NAB to do it, then it would be
referred by SCOPE to our Code Compliance officers, at which time it would be treated as any
other nuisancre violation. This process vrould allow ample oppflrtunity for aproperty owner to
either aaate the graffiti themsefves, or have NAB do it for free. The refusal to engage in one of
these would result in the City taking action.
The Gouncil recently by consensus refeRed a number of proposed revisions to SVMC 7.05 to
the Planning Commission for consideration and recommendation. Staff intends on makPng one
additional proposed change for their consideration in line with this RCA, which would be to add
a new nuisance violation under SVMC 7.05.040 for graffiti. This would then cflme back before
the Council for consideration and potential adoption along with all the other proposed
amendments.

Water Resource lnventory Area (WRIA) 57; the Nliddle Spokanc River Rasin, watershed is part
of the Columbia Kiver drainagc system lyinp- at the intersection o1' the Northem Rocky
Mpuntains and ttie Columbia Plateau. The water stores in `VR1A 57 are largely recharged by
precipitation in the Rocky Mountains of north idalio and westerii Montana; additionally relying
cro spring snowlnelt from the upland areas and groundwater discharge to the rivers to maintain
scre.am flows cluring the cirier months. Water is becomina increasingly scarce in the 4VRIA 57
basin. Past studies of «TR1A 57 have largely focused on the Spokane Val.ley Ralhdrum Yrairie
(SVRi') Atluifer; wluch was designated a"Sole Soiirce Aquifer" by the U.S. Fnvirorunental
f'rotectinn Agency in 1978. The aquifer is the drinking water source for over 400,000 people
living in Spokane County as well as in KooteDai CUUniy, ldaho. lnleractions between this
aquifer and the Spokane Rivcr are impprtant both seasonally and spatially to maintain flows in
the river.
Watershed planning in Washington State is condueted under the 1998 `Vatershed Planning Act
(Chapter 90.80 RCW). Th.is Act was designed to allow people who live, "vork and recreate
Nvithin a watershed to collaborate on how water is managed f'pr the fiiture. The la,~ti, is
adminiscered by WA State Department of Fcalagy in the fomi of a sequcnce of grants; which
allow the initiating governments to undergo watershcd platuiing accUrding to four major phases.
Planning pccurs within the existing sinicture of Water Resource lnvenfory Areas althouolh, in
cases such as this one, multiple NVR1As are combined for planning purposes. (`VR1As 55 & 57)
Phasc I provides funding ior the convening of a plaiuung unit iorn-iECi of represenlatives of local
government, interest grnups and citizens. in Phase lI, pllnning units may apply for funding to ,
conduct watershcd assessments, which may range i-rom a compilation of existing data a» water '
resources to new studics of speci [ic watcrshed attributes. Phasc 111 provides for dcvelopment pC a
watershed managcment plan, which must be apProveci by cotisensus and approved by county
legislative boclies. Phase IV funciing allows planning units to develc7p detailcd imp]ementation
placis to coordinaie and oversee the actual implementation of the altcrnatives and
recommEnclations oC their watersbed management plail.
Watershed-related work has been conducted for many ycars in WrZIA 55/57. Joint wacershed
planning in the Little and Middle Spokane River Basins under Chapter 90.82 RCW was initiated
b_y the City of Spokane; Spokalle County; Steveiis County, Pend Oreille County, \N`liitworth
Water 17istrict, and Vera Water anci Powcr. With SPokane County as the lead entity, tllese
initiatina governments and representativcs of roughly fiftecn other interests bcgan watershed planning ef-Torts under Chapter 90,82 KCW in 1998. 1 he group el ected to fncus on water
quanciiy issucs (required under Chapter 90.82 RCW) aud instream 8ows (optianal under Chapter
90,82 RC`V).
The WR1A 55/57 Planning Unit oversaw severAl tecluiical assessments under Phase II fiinding.
t1 preliminary assessment of existing infonnalitan for NVRIA 55/57 was completed in JunE 2003,
and a more detailed watershed simulation model was c.omplctcd in Pebruar)! 2004. Instream f1ow
studies werc coiilpleted in December 2003 far the Little Spekane River and in June 2004 for
puts of the Spokanc River. Additionally, a mulli-purposc storzge assessment was comple•ted in
I)ecember 2004.
The WR1A 55/57 Pl:ulning Unit approved lhe Watersheci Mauagement Plaii on July 6, 2005. "I'he -

in the I,ittle and Middle Spokane River Basins: water conscrvation, rer•lamation, and reuse;
instre.arn flow needs for the Middle and Little Spokanc Rivers; domestic exemPt wells; water
rights and claiTns; ancl stratcgics for river baseflow and ground water recharge augmentation, as
wcll as approaches to plan implementation.
Many of the proposed actions depe.nd upon the cooperation of local residents, businesses,
governments and other entities. General recoIIUnendations include the following:
1. Watcr conservati4n, reelanlation, and reuse
2. Instream Flow needs for the Micldle Spokanc River

Re: Barker RQad Bridgs Project - Department of Fish & Wildlife Mitigation
The City of Spokane Valley receivetl A Feciei-al Bridge Replaceinent grant for rcplacement of the
f3arker Road Bridge aver the Spukane River. Because the Spokaiie River is fish-beai'ing, the
Vdashington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDPW) requires a Wydraulic Projcct Approval
(HPA) permit which was issiied fc►r this project in December 2007.
0 I'rovisions in die i-T.PA allow work wat}lin the river between June 15 and August 31. 'The work
necessary to demalish the old bridge a«d construcl the iietiv bridge reqllires more `in river' time
then the HPA Allows. Theiefore, according to the HPA, Additional work in the river outsicle fhese
dates requires mitigation for impacts to fish life.
This was anticipated during the ilesigii phase of the project and Nvas incorporated into the project
spccifications aiid the project budget. We arc, nowwarking with the WDFW and our Contractor,
Morgan & 4swood, to deterriiine the level ofi impact to the rivcr and appropriate mitigation.
All parties involved have agreed to follow a mitigation strategy similar to wliat was usect by
Spokane County wlien the ~-gortne Rofld Tiricige was reconstructed. This pr'ocess involves I)
identifying a reasonable mitigation fee for impacts i'i•om our project, 2} this fee would be paicl to
the Spokane Count}, Canservaiion Disttict (SCCD), and 3) the SCCD WOl11Cl U5C Lhe58 17jlUgAtl0I1
funds, along with sociie of theix other fimds, to develop and improve fish liabitat eisewhere on the
Spokane River where it can be more effective.
Our bridge design eonsultant, CH2M HILL, has preplred a draft mitigatinn assessment repoi1
outlining the construction activiiies, methods for minimizing impacts to the Spokane ltiver and a
proposed mitigation fee. A draft inemorandum of agYeement has also been developed beriveen
the City of Spokane Va11ey,NVPFW and SCCD.
A copy of the draft assessment report and the draft agreement are attached fnr your infonnAtion.
No -work within the river can occur before this agreement is signed by all pailies. Therefore, we
are tittempting to ge:t approval to execiite tbis agreement as quickly as possible so as not to tlelay
O the project.

be necessar}' for a sepa.rate cnemorlndum pf agreement ar eonskruction contract c11au1gE
order to be enacted ben-veen Spoklne Valley and M&O.
The purTose of this Mitigal-ion Assessment is tv dctcrmine the compensatoiy n-titigation for
Spokane Vallep as acondition of the hydraulic project approval (HI'A)110492-3, issued on
December 3, 2007. The c4mPen5atory mitigation will be detcrn-i.ined based qn anticipated
inlpacts a.ssociated with conskruction activilies (work).
2.0 Mitigation Impacts

Work Activity Potential DurationI Mitigation Measures
Remove Existing Bridge August 5- September 16, A debris collection tub, suspended by cranes under the
Superstructure 2048 work construction area to capture all bridge demolition
and debris, vrill prevent bridge pieces or debris from
dropping into the river. All bridge partslpiecss and
debris +vill be captured, dumped into trucks, and hauled
away to an approved disposal site_ Largs bridge parts or
pieces will not be ctropped into the river and then
retrieved for disposal as currently allowed by the HPA.
Instsad, large bridge parts or pieces will be removed by
crane.
Onty 2 weeks outside of approved wor1c window,
which would happen in the fall under a late finish '
scenario. No contact with river water is anticipated
throughout duration of work activity.
Install VJork Bridge August 8- September 8, Steel pipe support piles will be capped with a conical
(Main Deck) 2008 point to prevent sediments from eniering the pipe and
later being released into the river when the piles are
removed. All piles will be driven and removed only once
(a series of installing and pulling pipes is not
necessary).
Creosoke treated timber (8`x16"x30') is proposed by the
Contractor for the decking_ (This is not currenUy albowed
in the permit,) 7he treated timber will be encapsulated
vJith an impervious wrapping that tivill be securecl in
place and completely covered with wood sheeting. Tliis
cover will protect the timbers from chipping, i.e. if track
mounted equipment operates on the worlc bridge,
setting of equipment outriggers, etc. The wrapping and
wood sheeting combineQ will provide an impervious
surface that will remain strong and secured in place,
preventing any contact of the treated timber vrith
precipitation and protecUng the river water.
Should any timber be dislodged from the work bridge -
structure and dropped into the river, adciitianal
mitigation compensa#ion vJOUId be assessec! (see
Section 2.2 and Section 3.0 for further discusYion).
Only 1 week outside of approved work window,
which would happen in the fall of 2008.

3.3 Mitigation Calculation Method
There is little guitlance on what ametult of matigation is appropriate for potential impacts in
the Spakane River resulting fram the Barker Road Bridge Replaeement project. However, a
precEdent agreement with Spokane County for the E1rgonne Road Bridge mendoned, upon
the recom.menciation of the Conservation I7istrict, that midgation on the appropriatc size of
a project• could be based on cither the length of unpacteci shoreli.ne or square faarage of
p.roject• area. 1n their case, they del•ermined that the length of shoreline was approximately
200 feet, but dECidcd to calculal•e mitigation bascd on square feet of riprap.
There is no riprap pla.nned or needed ior thc, Barker Road i3ridge project and, therefore,
Spokane Val.ley proposes to usc the linea.r shoreline area imparted as the basis for
calculating; mitigation. The Area of Potential Effect (APE) for the Barker Road Bridge project
shows that shoreline impacts are approximately 160 feet (measured parallEl to the new
picrs). Using the basi.s of $7.25/sharelinc, foot and a shorPline pf 160 fcEt, a mitigation fee of
$20,000 is calculated.
Spokane Valley prOpASes a lump sum in-lieu fee payment of $20,000 to the Spokane Counry
Conservation [7istrict in accordance with a 1Vlitigation Agreement UetwEen the WSF&LV, the
Conservation 17istrict and Spokane Valley. These dollars wi,ll be used far off site mitigakioti
performed in the 5pokane River within the Spokane Valley cily limits. Any additional
mitigation fees or m.easuxes that might oceur as a result of unforeseen accidents or Evc-nts
would be the responsibility of the Contraetor, Morgen & Uswood, who will pay for any
additional m,irigation fees/costs, or unplement additiQnal mitigation mcasures as needed.
Tn addition, should WSFRztiV aSree t4 mAdify the HPA to allow im. orgen $L Oswpod to usc
treated timbers, any additional mitigation fcE negotiated and assessed as a result af the use
of trEated tirnbers, over and above the $20,000 mitigation fee calculated abovc, will be paid
by Morgen & OS`wuod.
Spokane Valley believes thal• this is a meanulgful proposal wilh a combined dallar valu.e of
over $391,35$ that will be of benefit to the Spokane River and will uutagate all af the
pqtential impacts. Thc signature belotiv indicates ag•reement and. commitment with t-he terntis
and plans described in lhis Mitigation AssessmGnt.
