'ror a spcci al permit to operate aii autc wrecking yarcl. Tt~~ e),dstir!g zoni-ng oi hi-s
propcrty is Agricultural, and he is asking for a SpeClal Aefi'Tl!t. Could you present
tE'? dt, M1 . POI'ter?
Mr. I'orte2 : Yes. T vwau!c1 like to exp~axn tha1:, as with several other app'Lications,
orlgina11_y the lega r descripti.on for the zony cha-nge ra_n Ground 13 or 2 4 acrcs, vvliich
was a.ll property heid undez- the owmp-..rsh1p by Mt. Presta. 1-Mr. Presta, hovvever,
di-d nof contei-nplate in an.y sha,pe ax Torrri, an establishment w`iich would caver a1t
ot tr~i.s propL?-ty; in tact i't is a verv small portion, possibly two or rh-ree acres.
7nte hava some 1etters related to this applicatian. 1Vl'r. . J'ohn Ralp.h, who ls lV[r.
.
Presta's closesi-_ neigh.bor, has sent in a letter sa;ying that he j.s rPquesLing permussion
To give f-avorable consideration to this; Mr. & il~tirs <Benjarn.in N. Curbr:s, E10418-24zft
request that the petifiion be denied; Mr,. Sharpe sends us a lelftar requesiing that it
b@ approvec; 'the CFZai.Pman of the Board ot Trestees of the Deacon3ss Hospi-tal,
who own som€; prQpcrtq ir the area, reqUest the applicatj.on be demed.
Mr. , Si an z: Did they state where thafi are a i s?
Mr. Porter: The Hosriital owns the east hali of the Southwest quarter of Sectior,
2 U, Town s t?1 p 2 5, Rang-e 4 4.
lA.r. Stinson: I ttunk it might, pDrhaps resr:ict fihe issues a bit here a.f we coul.d
rhE
fii-zd out what bit of area is that he could opez2te successful.ly?
Mi .Porter: HerE is the entire the recl indicates fihe entase owmership heLd k~y Mr.

So it would appear that iI this coincides wiih t-hE 1QCctfon vvYiich he i-s ir.terestect in,
that ii would probably .bc: cut aown as far as dii?qensiona~ standax'ds
ca.n get within this two aT tha-e,01~ acres. I Yr.ighL add that we have taken a number
ot pictures, taken from Criesfier Hil}s Addition, loolc:tr_g towards fihie site, and a
number oi pictures from the si•te laaking iowards Ghester Hi1..ls., so you can get
-2-
e some idea ot how far it is. It is set down in a little valley kind of. Perhaps, Bill,
you could explain what the dimensions are going to be. The petition is for S
or 6 acres and the application is for 2 or 3, so we have to pzn poirYt it dovvn a little
bit more.
1VIr. Stinson: I imagine there are a number of people here interested in this particular
application. I wish we could put the map up there so that they could see it - see
just exactly what their limfts will be.
Mr. Porter: 3 people talking at once) appraximate location to the
City of Spokane.
Mr. Stinson : Can we swing that board around so that they can see ?
Mr. Porter: Which way do you want i-t- to swing it?
Mr. Stinson: So that these people back here can see. Yes. Uh hufi. I believe we
are ready to go ahead with testimony. Would you procede ?
Mr. Sharpe: My name is Wfllard Sharpe, and I have been asked by Mr. Presta
to speak tor him here today in connection wYth his request tor a special permit.
I kmvv we have been here a long time and I don't intend to belabor obvious facts
and just h.i.t the main issues as I see them, but before I do that I should like to
apologize to the members ot the Commission, and also the ladies and gentlemen
who have been delayed because ot my inability to be here at 1:30. I was in a
bankruptcy hcaring which I thought would take an hour and it took an hour and a halt.
I hope I haven't inconvenienced anyone to seriously. There was some misunderstanding
at the inception of this aqplication, through a misunderstanding, an inference
apparently was drawn that Mr. Presta was asking tor some twenty-three acres of
zoning tor a wrecking yard, when in fact it was his purpose to ask for some two
or three acres. However, we have reconclled that situation. I have worked out
a legal description which I have submitted to the Commission in the form of a letter
which detines an area 400 feet on each side, or a square in other words, 40U
feet on each slde, a square which would amount to about 3.6 acres more or less,
which we have in mind, which lies in the upper northwest corner of this 80 acre
section, less the right-of-way that Mr. & Mrs. Presta own. They have 24U end
to end lined with the right-of-way. You would have a full 80 if it were not for
this corner taKen out here by the railroad tor right-of-way which runs through.
The spot which we have in mind, as I said, lies up in the northwest corner some
-3-
75U feet down from the very northwest corner, and then is defined in the form of
,
. ~ a swuare, 400 feet on each side., being about 3.6 acres. The Presta family has
lived on this I think Mr. Presta was born on this properi:y, as a matter ot iact,
and a major part of it is good agricultural land. All the property whicii lies along
the right-of-way down in here , back up you might say, just a matter of a few
hundred feet of his west property line is v ery fine agricultural land. He has no
plans to make any change on there. It is only this property that has formed the
toothills ot the hills that run in baclc ot his home, upward perhaps for a distance
of 100 to 150 feet,, in elevation, it is covered with scrub timber and rock that
ot cours e
he is concerned with. And then vveP-are only concerned with~a small part of that
up in the corner. This land is not useable for agricultural purposes, it is hilly
in nature, rocky, and it has no particular use. Mr. Presta has told me, I'm not
a farmer, but he has told me that it couldn't be used tsa successfully tor grazing.
And because of the peculiar location ot this, runs a d& runs a d saddle iight
up in this corner. It provides an exceJlent spot, as I say of about 3 1/2 acres
ef- that could be devoted to a use ot this type without materially aftecting any
of the surrounding property. The area is behind his home, oh I would say, a
distance of about four to five hundred teet. It is perhaps forfy or tifty feet higher
in elevation and is into the hill proper, which constitutes a little saddle which
is protected by trees. There is a heavy tree development, you might say, along
frTat- masts or
the edge ot this saddle in the hills which ot course~ hides the area bom his owm
. ~
home proper and from any of the homes over in Chester Hills Addition. It is
awfully hard verbably to describe the location because as I say it is peculiar
and uniquely adaptable to ttnis Kind of u se . We have had several pictures taken,
perhaps not in the best way, but at least demonstrate the location These tirst
two shots of this pictures are the same, if I can hand one to Mr. Bienz and Mr.
Meigs. This is a picture taken from the Dishman-Mica Road trom the nearest
neighbor looking west, and it shows the Presta home. You will notice behind
the Presta home there is a distance of several hundred feet, then the tree line begins
and the slope ot the hill begins. After you fniftd-th-at- climb that hill about 40 or 50
feet r-li- the land levels out into a little saddle and it is about 3 1f"2 acres, and
it is in this little saddle that we have in mind this wreciztng yard site. As I say
ifi can't be used for agricultural purposes and it is nestled in behind the trees
and behind the ridge in such atashion that any vehicles parked there....(change of
