COMMISSION BUSINESS:
Public Hearing for CTA -2015-0001 A proposed amendment to Spokane Valley Municipal Code
(SVMC) 19.40.150 (C) Animal raising and keeping
Chair Stoy opened the public hearing at 6:12 p.m. Planner Micki Harnois reported the proposed
amendment to SVMC 19.4.150(C) Animal raising and keeping is to clean up some language making
it consistent with other parts of the code (ex: shall instead of must), to remove nutria as an animal
which is allowed to be kept and changing the regulations for hobby beekeeping. Ms. Harnois stated a
nutria, also known as a Coypu or a river rat, is classified as an invasive aquatic animal species and it
is prohibited to keep them in this state. Currently the code also allows for the keeping of nutria, so
this needed to be struck from the City's code.
Ms. Harnois stated currently the SVMC allows a maximum of 25 hives only on lots 40,000 square
feet or larger. The proposed language would allow one hive per 4,356 square feet of gross lot area.
Beehives would need to be located a minimum of five feet from side and rear property lines and
twenty feet from front or flanking street property lines. Additionally a six-foot high flyaway barrier,
which would force the bees to fly up and away from the neighbor's property would need to be located
next to the hives and an adequate supply of water shall be located close by each of the hives.
Commissioner Anderson questioned if the word `adequate' was the correct word to use for the water
supply. It was determined it was not necessary to have a continuous or constant running supply of
02-26-15 Planning Commission Minutes Page 1 of 5
water but just water all the time in the same place close by for the bees to be able to get to so they
don't go looking for it on other people's property. Commissioner Graham asked about the state
certification. It was discussed when there are state requirements, it is generally felt putting those
same requirements in the SVMC is redundant. The City only has one code enforcement officer and
trying to enforce a state requirement would be burdensome on the workload. Commissioner Wood
asked if dense vegetation suggested as a flyaway barrier would be good enough, and how dense it
would need to be. It was discussed that bees do not fly through things, such as vegetation or fences.
Joan Nolan, 1422 S. Bowdish: Ms. Nolan stated she was a member of the Inland Empire
Beekeepers Association (IEBA). Currently the IEBA has had 130 students in classes this year. She
shared many aspects of the IEBA, becoming certified and responsible beekeeper. Ms. Nolan
explained the levels of certification, the education of the beekeepers, and what a hive is. Ms. Nolan
talked about how she keeps water near her hives but it does not require a running faucet or continuous
water. She keeps birdbaths full to keep water close by for them. She mentioned the City of Spokane
does have the requirement for certification in their municipal code. She said there are approximately
30-80,000 bees in one hive with one queen. Bees might live three to four weeks, basically working
themselves to death. The workers are making honey to live through the winter and feed the queen
while she is laying eggs. In the winter the workers all huddle together around the queen and fan their
wings to create heat to keep the hive warm and alive. Commissioner Stoy asked about African bees.
Ms. Nolan stated African bees are not a problem here because although they have mated in the south,
they have not been able to adapt to the seasons in this area and can't live in temperatures lower than
50 degrees. Commissioner Scott asked about the flyaway barrier. Ms. Nolan explained it just needed
to be placed near the entrance of the hive so the bees would fly up and across the neighbor's yards
and out over the area. Bees use the water to also cool the hive in the summer.
Daren Mumau, 10916 E Connor Rd., Valleyford, WA: Mr. Mumau stated he is the current
president of the IEBA and supports certification of beekeepers. Certification teaches standards and
responsible beekeeping. Classes are one day in a classroom and four days in field training. He said
the flyaway barrier is placed near the exit of the hive and the bee comes out, orients itself and will fly
up at that level until they find their pollen source and return. Bees don't fly through fences or bushes.
Commissioner Graham asked about swarming. Mr. Mumau said swarming is predictable and
avoidable, if you are trained to know what to watch out for. A beekeeper can manipulate the frames
of a hive to split the colony and keep from having a swarm out in the open. Commissioner Kelley
asked if honey bees stiung, and if they were attracted to sweet things. Mr. Mumau said yes, honey
bees sting if you step on them and the stinger will stay in the wound and the bee will die. Honey bees
do not crawl into soda cans, that would be a wasp or yellow jacket. Honeybees are only concerned
with collecting pollen, soda does not have pollen.
Jerry Tate, 8900 E Maringo Dr.: Mr. Tate stated he owns Tate's Honey Farm. Mr. Tate said there
is bootleg beekeeping going on now. Urban beekeeping is becoming a big deal. Mr. Tate said he was
a member of the IEBA and a past president. Beekeeping is an expensive hobby, a double brood set
up is about $169.00 and a bee suit is about $150.00. He said bees don't go into pop cans, or food.
Honey bees might find rotten fruit but they are really looking for a good pollen source. Most honey
comes from an urban source. He said not only do his bees produce honey but they pollenate many
orchards in the area. He said he will get calls often about what kinds of flowers to plant in order to
attract honey bees. He said the state guidelines had a major revision a few years ago and the new
guidelines help to train beekeepers to be better beekeepers. Mr. Tate said swanning bees are safe, the
bees are docile, they have loaded up their honey sacks and are in self-preservation mode. He said he
expects there will be about 2,500 new colonies established this year in Spokane County. He said if
someone calls his shop and complains about a bee, someone from the IEBA will go out and talk to the
beekeeper. He said the City of Spokane, Spokane County and Colville all have the requirement for
certification. Commissioner Graham said she had read honeybees were declining, would certification
help to monitor the health of the hives. Mr. Tate answered originally the state maintained a list of
hives to notify the owners when spraying would be occurring. However that no longer happens, so
the money now is used for research purposes. WSU has a lab which will test bees if a beekeeper has
02-26-15 Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 5
a concern and will test them for free for diseases or sickness to try and protect the bees.
Commissioner Stoy asked Mr. Tate if he was a commercial beekeeper. Mr. Tate said he is a
commercial beekeeper and does produce honey as well as commercial pollination.
Darrell Dirstine, 10806 E Mission: Mr. Dirstine said he was not a member of the IEBA. He said the
old code did not allow him to put his hives where they might make the most sense. He wanted to
keep them near his rear neighbor who wanted the bees to pollenate his flowers, but because of the
setbacks he had to put them closer to the neighbor who did not like them very much. He is supportive
of more reasonable bee code; he felt the 40,000 square foot requirement was not reasonable. Bees are
breed to be gentle, he does not use a bee suit, he just uses a hat and a smoker and they are not
interested in him. He said one person should not be able to dictate what is right for everyone else.
Commissioner Wood asked if Mr. Dirstine would have a problem becoming certified. Mr. Dirstine
answered he would not have a problem taking the test and there is more education being done now
along with it. He commented on the flyaway barrier and how the bees come out of the hive and will
fly up but then they circle around and then fly in many different directions depending on where the
pollen sources are. Commissioner Anderson asked if he would recommend beginners should join and
take the test to be certified. Mr. Dirstine answered he would recommend it because new people have
so many questions, are so interested in gaining knowledge and finding supplies. They would be able
to find all of these things if they took the classes to be certified. Commissioner Kelley asked if
beekeepers carry liability insurance or would they be willing to carry liability insurance in case
someone got stung. He also asked what kind of liability the beekeeper felt they had if a neighbor who
might be allergic got stung. Mr. Driskell stated liability is not a concern the Planning Commission
should be considering.
Commissioner Graham asked Mr. Mumau as president of the IEBA, regarding the certifications, do
the tests have to be taken through the association. Mr. Mumau said there are three levels of
certification, and a person could to the state website, get a booklet, get the test, take it and send it in
and get certified that way. State registration is based on how many hives a person has, 1-5 hives is
$5.00, 6-10 hives is $10.00 and so on. Commissioner Graham confirmed with Mr. Driskell that it
was not necessary to add language to the code it was a requirement to register with the state because it
was already a state requirement.
Ms. Barlow said she wanted to clarify the flyaway barrier as it is related to the intent of the code. The
rational for adding in a flyaway barrier to the proposed code was not to manipulate the bees for the
beekeeper but for the protection of neighbors and to cause the bees to fly up and across the neighbors
yards. Commissioner Anderson said it made more sense reading it from that view point.
Chair Stoy closed the public hearing at 7:33 p.m.
Commissioner Graham moved to approve CTA -2015-0001(C) as presented.
Commissioner Anderson would like to change the wording from adequate water supply to continuous
water supply. Commissioner Phillips said the bees don't need water in the winter. He said
continuous leads it to mean running water all the time. Commissioner Anderson said adequate allows
for interpretation and he would like to remove that option. Commissioner Wood comments that
continuous would mean to him the water supply would need to be fed by a faucet or a hose. Ms.
Barlow suggested the word constant. Commissioner Stoy commented a constant water supply would
not be necessary in the winter either. He suggested to strike the work adequate and leave it at that.
Commissioner Wood said he did not have a problem with the word adequate. Commissioner Graham
asked what the City of Spokane's code used. Ms. Harnois said they used adequate water supply.
There was consensus to leave the language as it was proposed.
Commissioner Kelley raised his concerns regarding how he did not feel the beekeepers were taking
any personal liability if a neighbor who was allergic was stung by a bee. Commissioner Graham said
she felt the beekeepers had taken responsibility for their bees. Commissioner Anderson said in his
research he found a bee can fly up to five miles from the hive in search of pollen so it would be
difficult to determine the ownership of a bee. Commissioner Stoy commented his son is allergic to
02-26-15 Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 5
bees and his family has an epee pen with them at all times in the case of an emergency, but he does
understand there is a possibility a person would not know if someone was allergic. He said he felt
both parties needed to be a little bit responsible. Ms. Barlow stated beekeeping is allowed currently,
and the City is aware beekeeping is happening in conditions which do not meet our standards. We are
now trying to put in place the most reasonable set of standards which will protect everyone's
interests, this is the best you can do. In order to try and protect the neighbors we try and put in
reasonable, enforceable standards which will protect both the beekeepers and the adjacent property
owners. Commissioner Kelley offered we are now taking beekeeping and moving it from the
countryside, or an acre of land, and putting it in regular neighborhoods. He did not feel this was in
the best interest of a lot of people. Commissioner Kelley said if you were allergic to bees and
someone moves in next door and gets a hive, you should not have to deal with the extra opportunities
to get stung. Commissioner Stoy asked Mr. Driskell if there was any liability in regard to bees at the
state level. Mr. Driskell stated he was not aware of anything at the state level and bees are
everywhere. It would not be like they were coming from one place. Having a hive would create a
greater concentration then would otherwise have been next door but he did not feel it created a
liability situation for someone who was keeping them. From a legal stand point it would not be
something the City would address. Commissioner Kelley still felt the acre standards were good,
since he didn't feel anyone should have to have bees move in next to them if they didn't want them.
Commissioner Anderson said he would support adding a requirement for the beekeeper to be
certified. Commissioner Wood agreed. He liked the fact the beekeeper would be getting education
and taking the responsibility seriously. Commissioner Scott liked the idea of having a certified
beekeeper next door. She asked if the code enforcement officer would be able to contact the IEBA to
assist with enforcement. Ms. Barlow answered if the City received a complaint the code enforcement
officer would ask to see evidence of the certification. Mr. Driskell stated all compliance actions he
has been aware of, none of them have been about bees. There was consensus from the Commission
to require certification of the beekeepers and staff will return with language which would be
appropriate.
The vote on the motion to approve CTA -2015-0001 as presented, was zero in favor, seven against,
motion failed.
Commissioner Wood moved to approve CTA -2015-0001 as proposed but adding language which
requires beekeepers to be certified. The vote on this motion was six in favor, one against, motion
passed, Commissioner Kelley dissenting.
Discussion: Spokane Transit Authority, Comprehensive Plan discussion regarding bus benches:
Spokane Transit Authority Planner Kathleen Weinland gave a presentation to the Commission
regarding their update to their comprehensive plan and their policy framework regarding bus benches.
She said she was doing stakeholder outreach to get input regarding bus stops and bus benches. She
discussed the requirements for benches and shelters at a stop and what the challenges are to providing
those. Commissioner Anderson asked who makes the decision about where the bus sign goes,
sometimes it is not the only sign on the pole and it can get confusing. Commissioner Phillips
commented it would be easier at times if the bus stop was in the middle of the block instead of at a
crosswalk because at times he cannot tell if the person is waiting to cross the street or wait for the bus.
Commissioner Wood said it would be easier as a vehicle following a bus if they pulled out of traffic
to make a pick up. Commissioner Anderson wondered if the bus benches with the seats in them
might not fit everyone.
Commissioner Anderson moved to extend the meeting to 9:15 p.m. The vote on the motion was seven
in favor, zero against, motion passed.
02-26-15 Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 5
Planning Commission Finding of Fact for CPA -2015-0001 and CPA -2015-0002 —
Comprehensive Plan Amendments:
Ms. Barlow said the findings for CPA -2015-0001, are for an amendment located along Nora Ave.
Since Commissioner Kelly had recused himself from this amendment, he left the room while this item
was being discussed. Ms. Barlow stated the document reflected no findings based on the Planning
Commission's decision. Commissioner Scott asked why there was no recommendation. Mr. Driskell
stated since three of the Commissioners had voted the amendment met the SVMC, and three of the
Commissioners voted it had not met the code, then the only findings which could be produced is what
had been done procedurally. Commissioner Anderson moved to approve the Findings for CPA -2015-
0001 as presented. The vote on this motion was six to zero, motion passed and Commissioner Kelly
returned to the room.
Ms. Barlow presented the findings for CPA -2015-0002, an amendment located at the intersection of
Mission Ave. and Flora Rd. Ms. Barlow shared since the close of the public hearing staff received a
letter signed by 25 surrounding property owners asking for the proposal to be denied. This
information cannot be part of the record because the record is closed, but would be forwarded to the
Council for an ordinance first reading. Commissioner Graham moved to approve the Findings for
CPA -2015-0002 as presented. The vote on this motion is seven in favor, zero against, motion passed.
GOOD OF THE ORDER:
Commissioner Graham asked to clarify some things from the Planning Short Course she attended. She
said it was mentioned the Planning Commission members could join APA. Ms. Barlow explained APA
was the American Planning Association. Ms. Horton said the City does have a membership to the APA
for the Planning Commissioners, it was be updated to reflect the new members and she would be
receiving information before too long. She said one of the speakers mentioned a minority report when
there is a division. Ms. Barlow said our Planning Commission does not do this. She said when our
Planning Commission makes a decision and it is then forwarded to the Council, it goes as the one
decision. She said although our minutes are not verbatim, they are very thorough and do reflect the
discussion of what happened to arrive at their decision. Mr. Driskell commented a minority report
suggests dissention among the Commission which there usually isn't, and he also thought this subject was
covered in the Planning Commission Rules of Procedure. Ms. Graham said the last subject was regarding
a comment a speaker made about regular meetings with the City Council. Mr. Driskell said this isn't a
practice of the City either. He explained if the City Council and the Planning Commission met regularly
and talked about subjects, it would give theimpression the Commission was just doing whatever the
Council wanted them to do and they were not judging items on their own ideas. This was not an
impression we would want to give the public so it isn't something we do.
ADJOURNMENT: There being no other business, Commissioner Graham moved to adjourn the meeting
at 9:06 p.m. This motion was passed unanimously.
