:,Ir. tvIeenach; ro you plan to have one or two dentists?
Dr. Zinmernan: rentists are pretty scarce yet. I plan on ha,ving 4 chairs,
but Iwill be the only dentist, unless business gets too good that I would
need an extra dentist. hs it is I am just set up for one dentist.
Nir. 2Jieenach: fiow much ground ha.ve you?

o wn.
i~Ir. IIeenach: How closo to the house wou13 the driveway be?
rr. Zinmerman: I k►ould like to put my office 4 to 6 feet in, so we would
have a nice driveway, but na epeed--way. T might have a strip of grass
between the driveway and the buizding, I dontt know yet.
IvIr. ldeenach: ,Any questicns3
I4r. Fosseen: aave you ccntac Jed Mr., 23a.rth and Mr. Price?
'Or. Zimnerman: I have ~~alked to them, Mr. Price is here today.
I4r. ideenach: Let us hea-l- from them, as they are here.
! 14r. Price: Mr. Chairmau and members of the Board: hIr. Barth was at my
house and he asked pernission to write aletter in. He talked to I4r.
IJieenach. I would like to have I4rs. Price read the letter, as Mr. Barth
has been ill, and could not come in toda.y.
Mrs. Price: ro x have permission, tfir. Chairman?
Mr. I.Ieenach: Yes, read the letter. (i;Irs. Price reads the letter. ) Thank
you very much. Anyone else to speak? ,Anyd.ne who Z1TTe5 out that way
interested?
14r. Wilson: T live at North 17 halnut Road. r~►-i the second house north,
on the :fest side of I-dalnut, x would just like to second iYlr. Aarthrs
Ietter. He ha.s covered the subject very nicely. I'ishman a.nd Opportunity
1wie definite places set asidA for business, and ve dontt need any more
businesses along the A,ppleway. We can see what has taken place from the
City I.imits on out to rishman all the various busineses th,at ha.ve
come up out there. This building might not be as objectionable as others,
but it wou3d staxt another man wanting to come and put another business
by the side of him. I-iy home i.s restricted by deel from any type of
business. This was zoned to keep businesses out.
trlr. Meena,ch: Are you north of Spra.gue?
fvlr. Wilson; Yes. Iwould like to register a protest, and second Mr. Parthts
letter.
i.ir. Frice; I have appeared before this Aoard several times and you ail
know my attitude towards any businesses coming in in tr.at area. I would
li,ke to 9ay I4rs. E-ptan is coming to t2:is meeting but isn=t here yetg and
I know she is intonding to oppose the granting of this permit.
D. Aarth: I am 8oger Darthts son. I agree with my Fa,ther. I have been
away in the Army an3 ha.ve received communications from my family regarding
~ businesses that want to come in along the Appleway in our vicinity. I
. hd.ve often wondered when I did come home if there would be some objection-
able tus iness there. I have thought of it a lot. Now I an hoi11e and would.
Iike to express my protest against any business coming in.
14rs. R. A. Aby: I iive at South 17 Farr Boad. I also want to ob j ect
to this go ing in. Thcy cou13 put a nice hous e there instead. ?le t,rouldn t t
ob j ec t to tha.t,
Mr. Ydeenach: An.yone else to speak? Anyone in favor of this?
Mrs. Zimmerman: As far as a nice house ia concerned, no one would buiid
one next to that market.
' D,, Farth: We didntt have anything to say about tha,t ma,rket going in as it
~~;as there before vre <<Tere, but we would like to keep any buainess from
coming any closer to oun comes.
hir. Meigs : How long have you owned the property3
Dr. Zimmerman; I have an option on it. I w3nted to find out, whsther or
not I could put my building there before I bought it.
Mr. Meenach; That is the right thing to do. Didn ltyou k-now it was zoned
as auburban before you decided tbuild?
~
N 23IJTTG~~~-' aNTAL 0-`FIGE Continued
rr. Zimmerraan; Yes, Z talked to is. Darth and Mr. Price about it. They
didntt seem to ebjPCt too much. I thought it woull.d ma.ke a good nbuffer"
between the nice homes an.d the market. That is my reason for buying so
much ground, so thPre wouldn lt be anything else "going in tetween me and
the residences.
14r. Meenach: The zone re,tricts cert3in types of businesses, not ho1i the,y
are bui..~.t
Dr. Zi:nmErman: I ha,ve talked to se4eral people and they did,nft have any
objections. However, I didnit get any letters from them, that was thE
mistake T made.
I-ir. Graham; Iidould like to correct a mistaken impression. We are nat
changing the zoninge This ig an application for a speci.a,l permit. If
the permit is granted, i.t i--rould be far a denta.l clinic only, no other
business coul3 go in there. If ancther business is wanted, we wou13
~ have to ha,ve a publzc he3ring on tr.e applica.tion, just as we are having
. today. As I said before, it is not a zone change.
Dr. Zinmerma,n; I ca,l7.ed the Farth is an3 Epton ls myself, so they would re
no tif ie d. They knew abaut t he Me et ing.
Mrs. Price: Idzdntt mean they did.nit knoti-I about the mPP,t],Yg, they just
didn=t get a, ca.rd. (ilote: They wore notifiedt)
I4r. I•4eenach; T think you have made proper statement on this m.a.tter. I
apprebiate ,your attitude. I think if you were to confer with these people
out there, Dr. Zimmernan, you would have a much better chnnce getting
your permit, as they did r.ave it zaned to keep businASSes out.
Mr. Roffnan; I ovm the property Pr. Zimmerman is trying to get a permit
on. I am mutual in this respect. Y own the property and peaple have
come to me t3.me after time to bu,y it. I y aid it was worth a try going
to the Planning Commission to sne if he could get a permit.
I,1r. Wilsont You stated it could never be usPd for anything cther than a
dental office. Zf the building wa,s put up and not used, the building will
still be there* therefare, something might want; to go in.
ixs. r4eenach ; If so , ycu would aI1 be nv t if i ed again, jus ttLS you werA
t o dwy.
Mr. Price: Z tirou7.d just ].iltie to state I dontt ii.l:e to taik to just one
person, then go across the street and talk to another orl?. Tf we coulti
have mvre than 10 days notice cf these Meetangs, we cvuld get tagethEr
and ho'Ld a meeting of our own befcre we came to the Caurthouse. If we
ha.d 15 da,ys natice, that would give us ti.me luo ta:Lk this over befora we
came here. I am against ta.lking to one per5on at a time►.
I 'Ar. '
Meenach: Could we notify them 15 days aY~~ead of time?
Mr. Grahan; Frovided thEy get their application in that far ahead. 'I'ne
, Qrdinance says we ha.ve to notify tr:em just '.0 days ahea.d of time* rf, we
rPceive their application before tr,a,t time, ive ~.:iil be g].ad to notify them
' a.s saon as we can. Z:night state that we have ha.d no requests to postpone
tr.is meeting.
iflr. Meenach; ti'hien anYthing comes up on thi.s -oaxticular site, we tviil try
to work with you. Anyone else to spAak? y
Mr. Hoffman: Y have aF_proxiraately 601 frontage next to where Dr. ZimmPrma,n
wants to buy. I p'Lan to blaek top it and make a rarking arew there. We
don t t have encugh parking spac e now f or tr e bus ines s e s wP k:ave.

Gentlemen:
Although I did not receive a notice from your office, it has come to my
attestion that e hearing is to be held on the application of Dr. Zimnerman
for a speaial permit to erect a dental office on the land adjoining my
property on the east.
Being unable to attend the hearirg because of illneas, Ian takin6 the liberty
of protesting by letter the granting of this permit. It is unfortunate that I
find myself unable to take a very active part in bringing before your body the
facts relating to this aase and the feelin6s of my fellow property-owmers in
the immediate area, because es the home-owner most vitally affeated, it logivally
would have been iqy responsibility to act as the rQllying goint, eo to speak,
for the protestants. As a mQtter of fact, I have found it poasible to noimnun-
ioate with only two of my neighbors at this time; although in the pssti I
have disaussed the matter with every- property owner in the area and knorv the
opinions of at least 80 per cent of them to be the same as mine.
I mention this fact because AC my inability to take an Qctive part, plus the
inclement wegther, me►y result in a smalZer deleration of protestants than
would otherwise be the cuse; it nii6ht lead to the false assumption that the
property owners are not too much concerned with your decision.
I oan assure you that a very large numb er of us like our zone the wQy it ia,
do NOT want it ahanged, end, mvst emphatically, do NOT want buainesses to
invade our zane by special permit, zone alassifiaation charAge, or Dy arly
other means.
There are many reason$ why I oppose the granting of the special permit. I
have no desire to burden you unneaes$arily, thereFore I have listed below only
ten of them; nor have I6iven to each reason the apaoe which I think it might
warrant. I trust, however, that you will give your usual serdous oonsiderQ-
tion to the points I raise:
1: gn overwhelming ma3ority of the property owners immediately
adjacent to the lend in question have repeatedly opposed
by petition to the planning board ( eopies of these petitions
are in your files) and by personal arpearances at its
hearirags, both the encroaohments of business into the zoned
erea and, spec if icallSt, the estab 1 is hment of any kind of
businese at Walnut Road and the Apple Way.
2: Atthe interseation of Walnut Road xith the dpple Way, the
Southwest snd northwest aorners sre ovcupied by substantial
residenoes, the Northeast aorner, although at present vaoant,
is restricted by deed to residential use ONLY, this is in
addition to being zoned. (Thissame restriation by deed also
appl fes to the propert ies on both s ides of 1Nalnut Road
iimnediately north of the Appletiray. ) Thus it will be seen
that of the four pieces of property at the interseotion, three I
oP them are irrevoaab ly aommitted to residential use. Per-
mitting a business establiahment on the one remaining pieoe
vf property, Qlready zoned as residential ( or suburben, to
be more exact,) rrould unfairly and unreasonably detract Prom
the value of these residential gitea.
3: There is NO need for business development at thia looation
Prom the atandpoint of publia health, interest, or servioe.
4: There is adequete room t'or business development in the areaa
already soned for buainesa without enoroaohment on residential
or suburban zones. Within the forseeable future, there is no
justification For breaking doxn our present zone.
5: While a dental offiae MAY be lese objeationable than some
other type oF business, onoe built Qnd esteblished there
will be the constsnt danger and threat that in the future
the building may be used for other business purposes.
Histarically, this caa be said to be a aerte►inty.
6: The granting of a speciel business permit at this loaation
elm4st automatiaally invites future applicatione for one or
~ more permits for other types of businesa on the remainder of
the piece of land involved. The total frontage of this land
is roughly 200 feet and the present application it for about
one half of that. Can anyone believe that if this per;nit is
granted the owner of the reu,ainder of the land will be content
to sell it a,t res ident iel value o r thet ar~yone would xant to
put a residence ou itY
7s The grenting of a business permit under these airaumstanaes
would help destroy oonfidence in the appliaation of toning
regulations to the extent and effeot that residential aon-
struction and further residential development and improvement
in this beautiful and better-cless Valley residential area
would be discoureged. Onae the step is ts.ken there ia prao-
ticelly no hope of retraotion.
B: Grantirg of the permit would encourege land speoulation in
residential and suburban areas to the detriment of their
proper developmerrt. liYhen the hope is held out to land
speculators for a profit, through the e►oquisition of home-
sitee at residential values and re-sale at business-property
values, it is only s short step to complete null if iaation of
the known advantages of plann3.ng and zoninig.
~
9: Population increase, growth, and development of the Spokane
Valley point up, more than ever before, the need for
adequate, far-seein6, and conscientious plannin; and zoning
protection for home-owners and busineesmen alike. Breaking
down of our Lone, under present circumptances, would be
a backwurd step.
10: Practical and lo6ical development of the Uis}unan business
area, from the stampoint of traffic, available locations,
and trend, is to the Yrest, 1lvrth, and South; and not to
the Hast wtiere an established residential couununity exists.
Sincerely,
