IX. COMMISSION BUSINESS:
a. Study Session: STV-2024-0002 —Hutchinson Road & Riverside Avenue Street Vacation
Senior Planner Lori Barlow presented a staff report regarding a privately initiated street vacation
request to vacate a 60' X 130' segment of Hutchinson Road and a 40' X 270' segment of
Riverside Avenue located north of Sprague Avenue and east of Argonne Avenue. The
applicant for the request is MacPherson Holdings, LLC and CANUSA Land Holdings Corp.
The vacation on Riverside Avenue is a 40' wide segment of road lying within 120' of the
Argonne and Sprague intersection. The Hutchinson Road segment intersects with Riverside
Avenue with a forced east turn movement.
Ms. Barlow explained that when an applicant submits a street vacation request, they must
provide reasons or explanations for the request outlining why they want the vacation and how
the change meets the code. The applicant listed the following:
• Reason 1: Non -Compliant Street. The requested vacated section is a non -compliant
street that does not meet the requirements of the Spokane Valley Street Standards
(SVSS). The intersection is 120' north of the Argonne Road and Sprague Avenue
intersection. The required separation distance is 660' according to the SVSS. The
pavement widths on Riverside Avenue and Hutchinson Road vary from 20' to 40' in
width and the required width for a local access road is 30' and a commercial street is
40' per the SVSS.
• Reason 2: Safety. The removal of the intersection will eliminate incoming and
outgoing traffic onto a 35-mph principal arterial of Argonne Road and will eliminate
pedestrian risk for employees and patrons crossing from the parking lot to Ultimate
Truck.
• Reason 3: Theft Prevention. The display area and business are separated by Riverside
Avenue which has led to increasing amounts of theft over the years and if the street
vacation is granted, the property owner can fence the area and place gates on both ends
of the vacated street to prevent theft.
Ms. Barlow explained that Riverside Avenue currently functions as a secondary driveway to
Ultimate Truck. Riverside Avenue and Hutchinson Road are both paved but do not have curbs,
gutters, or sidewalks. Riverside Avenue only provides access to the properties owned by
Ultimate Truck and CANUSA, LLC. Hutchinson Road does not provide access because the
existing businesses have access to Argonne Road by going north to Main Avenue.
Ms. Barlow stated that the request was sent out to agencies for review and comment. Avista
responded that they have a gas service in the right-of-way (ROW) of both Riverside Avenue and
Hutchinson Road. They also have an electric service line along Hutchinson Road. Lumen, Spokane
County Wastewater, and Modern Electric and Water Company all responded that they have utilities
located in the ROW of Hutchinson Road. The service providers have requested an easement so that
they have adequate access to their utility lines.
Ms. Barlow mentioned that Hutchinson Road and Riverside Avenue are designated as a "Bike
Friendly Route". If this vacation is granted, the Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Appendix B
Figure 27 regarding the Bikeway Network will need to be updated.

Page 3 of 4
Ms. Barlow stated that Spokane Valley Development Engineering Department issued potential
conditions that include installing a "Dead End" sign at Hutchinson Road and Harrington Road and
removing the existing curb returns, curb ramps and street signs. This will need to be replaced with
concrete Type B curb and gutter, and sidewalk at Riverside Avenue and Argonne Road. If full
access on Argonne Road is desired by the applicant, a 30' wide driveway approach will be required.
If gated emergency access only is provided to Argonne Road, a 24' wide driveway approach and
gate will be required.
Ms. Barlow explained that Spokane Valley Fire Department issued potential conditions that include
fire access being provided to the building from Argonne Road and a "Drive Aisle" on site that
allows for through access to Hutchinson Road. They also stated that different requirements will
apply if the property is addressed off Hutchinson Road.
Ms. Barlow stated that the public hearing for this application will be held on June 13, 2024.
Commissioner Wilson asked if the ROW is shared with the Union Pacific Railroad. Ms. Barlow
answered that it is not, it is a City ROW.
Commissioner Robertson asked if there is a requirement on how far from Argonne Road the
proposed gate would need to be located. Ms. Barlow answered that the standard would be regulated
so that it does not cause a site distance issue. Commissioner Robertson asked for additional
information about the proposed fencing/gate to be installed by the applicant. Ms. Barlow responded
that she would get additional information for the public hearing.
Commissioner Kelly asked if the property owners will be purchasing the property that is being
vacated. Ms. Barlow answered that the City has a resolution outlining the cost of vacated ROW that
the property owners will be required to pay.
X. GOOD OF THE ORDER: Vice -Chair Delucchi stated that a transportation meeting regarding a
new development near Good Samaritan Hospital will be held on May 30, 2024, at Evergreen Middle
School. Chairman McKinley thanked the veterans for their service.
XI. ADJOURNMENT: Commissioner Delucchi moved, and it was seconded, to adjourn the meeting at
6.44 p.m. The vote on the motion was seven in favor, zero against, and the motion passed.

BACKGROUND:
On May 14, 2024, City Council approved Resolution No. 24-008 to set the public hearing date
with the Planning Commission on June 13, 2024.
MacPherson Holdings, LLC and CANUSA Land Holdings Corp. have requested to vacate a
portion of Hutchinson and Riverside as described above. The area to be vacated abuts property
owned by MacPherson Holdings, LLC and CANUSA Land Holdings Corp. Riverside is a 40' wide
segment of road lying within 120' of the Argonne and Sprague intersection. The Hutchinson Road
segment intersects with Riverside Avenue with a forced east turn movement. The paved area of
both road segments varies in width from 20' to 40'. The area does not have curb, gutter or

sidewalk and is indistinguishable from the surrounding commercial parking lot. The total area
requested to be vacated is estimated to be 19,092 square feet.
The Hutchinson right-of-way requested to be vacated is adjacent to parcels 45184.9111 and
45184.2263. The Riverside right-of-way requested to be vacated is adjacent to parcels
45184.9111, 45184.2263 and 45184.9112. MacPherson Holdings, LLC and CANUSA Land
Holdings Corp. abut all portions of the right-of-way requested to be vacated.
The right of way was dedicated in 1920 by an easement from the Railroad to the County (AFN
598045), right of way deed (AFN 590116), and by Order of the Court (Superior Court Judgement
and Decree 61854). Pursuant to RCW 35.79.040 the property within the limits so vacated shall
belong to the abutting property owners one-half each.
The abutting properties are currently developed with automobile related uses (Ultimate Truck and
Hyundai Sales). Properties to the north include commercial and residential uses. Argonne and
Sprague right-of-way lie immediately to the east and south. All properties take access off Argonne
or Hutchinson. Riverside right-of-way is 40' wide and the paved area is approximately 20' wide.
Hutchinson right-of-way is 60' wide, and the paved area is 40'wide. Neither street is built to
Spokane Valley Street Standards (SVSS) for commercial streets. The immediate area is zoned
Corridor Mixed Use (CMU), with areas north of Harrington zoned R-4, Single Family Residential
Urban. Riverside functions as a driveway for Ultimate truck due to the narrow pavement areas and
proximity of the building to the travel way. Water, sewer, electric, gas and cable are located in the
right-of-way and can be adequately preserved with easements.
As part of the submittal requirements, petitions for street vacations are required to provide a
written narrative describing the reasons for the proposed street vacation. MacPherson Holdings has
requested the street vacation for the following reasons:
1. Noncompliant streets
a. The Riverside and Argonne intersection is located 120' north of the Argonne and
Sprague Intersection. The SVSS intersection spacing requirement for a Principal
Arterial is 660'.
b. The existing pavement width on Riverside is 20'. The SVSS minimum asphalt width
for a local access street is 30' and 40' for a local commercial street.
2. Increase safety
a. If the intersection is removed, it will eliminate incoming and outgoing traffic onto a
35-mph principal arterial.
b. If the intersection is removed it will eliminate the risk to pedestrians crossing from the
south side of Riverside to the northside of Riverside. Traffic exiting Argonne onto
Riverside may not see pedestrians crossing and may have little time to react.
3. Theft Prevention
a. The display area and business are separated by Riverside, which allows the public to
pass through. Theft is an issue.
b. If the STV is granted the property owner proposes to fence the area and place gates at
both ends of the vacated streets.

II. STAFF ANALYSIS OF STREET VACATION PROPOSAL
A. COMPLIANCE WITH SVMC 22.140.030
In its consideration of the proposed vacation of the street, the planning commission shall make its
recommendation to City Council based on the criteria listed below. The criteria are listed in bold
followed by staff findings in regular text.
Findings:
1. Whether a change of use or vacation of the street or alley will better serve the public?
Riverside Avenue intersects with Argonne Road approximately 120' north of the intersection
of Sprague and Argonne, both principal arterials. SVSS table 7.5 — Minimum Intersection
Spacing for Local Access Streets requires an intersection spacing of 660'. Intersection spacing
is measured from the center of intersection to center of intersection. In this case, from the
center of Riverside Avenue to the center of Sprague Avenue. The width of parcel
#45184.9112, which lies between Riverside Avenue and Sprague Avenue, is approximately
33'. The intersection spacing does not meet the standard. Eliminating the intersection
increases safety while reducing the opportunity for crashes as vehicles exit or enter Argonne.
Riverside Avenue is currently paved approximately 20' wide with no curb or gutter;
Hutchinson Road is paved in varying widths up to 40' wide as it extends north toward
Harrington. SVSS table 7.3 Access Street Design Criteria requires the minimum asphalt
width for local access streets to be 30' wide and 40' wide for a commercial local access street.
Widening or restoring city streets is considered a capital improvement project. Transportation
improvements funded and scheduled over the next 20 years are listed on the City's
Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP). Improvements to Riverside Avenue or Hutchinson
Road are not identified on the TIP. The City cannot require the adjacent property owners to
make improvements to the substandard streets unless development is proposed. The paved
widths do not meet the standard and the City has not identified improvements to the streets on
the TIP. Street widths are designed to address accessibility and safety. Eliminating the
intersection at Riverside and Argonne that allows exiting vehicles from an arterial at 35 mph
onto a narrow street increases safety by reducing opportunities to vehicle and pedestrian
conflicts.
2. Whether the street or alley is no longer required for public use or public access?
The portion of Riverside Avenue and Hutchinson Road requested to be vacated are used for
access to the business on the north (Ultimate Truck, owned by MacPherson Holdings) and the
Staff Report and Recommendation STV-2024-0002 Page 3 of 10
May 31, 2024
business on the west (Hyundai, owned by CANUSA Land Holdings). However, the main
access to Ultimate Truck is from Argonne with some exiting customer and delivery traffic
leaving through Hutchinson. Access to Hyundai occurs through a gate on Hutchinson. The
property has additional access through parcel #45184.1946, which abuts Harrington, as well as
informal access across the railroad to the Sprague Store front site on parcel #45184.9186.
The parcel located south of Riverside (Parcel #45184.9112) is currently owned by CANUSA
Land Holdings (Hyundai) but used by Ultimate Truck for display and parking. The parcel has
33 of frontage on Argonne and 200' of frontage on Riverside and Sprague. Per the SVSS 7.8.2.b
and c properties are restricted to one access point on arterials, except that when a property has
frontage on two or more streets and spacing requirements cannot be met the driveway approach
shall be located on the street with the lowest classification unless safety considerations dictate.
In this case parcel access would be from Riverside. If Riverside is vacated and the parcel
remains, access would be from Argonne or Sprague. Access from Argonne could not meet the
approach widths requirement noted in SVSS 7.8.5 nor the corner clearance from intersections of
75' in SVSS 7.8.7.2. Due to the sloped bank between the parcel and improved Sprague access
onto Sprague is not practical.
The applicant has indicated that if the street vacation request is granted that parcel #45184.9112
would be purchased and consolidated with the northern parcel with Ultimate Truck. The
applicant intends to purchase additional property from CANUSA that would allow for the
acquisition of the vacated ROW and all abutting property. This would eliminate the access
problem as once the parcel is combined it would have access from Argonne. In order to preserve
access for CANUSA owned properties, an access easement shall be required.
Water, sewer, gas, electric, and cable lines exist throughout the right-of-way. Each utility
provider has expressed a need for an access and maintenance easement. Their continued service
needs are met if an easement is provided.
3. Whether the substitution of a new and different public way would be more useful to the
public?
There is no substitution being proposed as part of the vacation. The City's review has
determined there is no need for a new or different public way, but that it would improve public
safety if the street intersection and driveway were removed, and a single driveway were to be
constructed. The street functions as a private access for CANUSA and Ultimate Truck and
currently does not meet street standards or driveway separation standards. Other businesses in
the area have either direct access to Argonne, or direct access to Hutchinson via Main Avenue.
So long as access easements are retained for existing utilities, the public interest is served.
4. Whether conditions may change in the future to provide a greater use or need than
presently exists?
Zoning may allow the parcels to develop more intensely. If the street vacation were granted,
and the abutting properties were consolidated into a single parcel, future development would
have safer access from Argonne Road and/or Hutchinson Road.
Staff Report and Recommendation STV-2024-0002 Page 4 of 10
May 31, 2024
Properties to the north have direct access to Hutchinson and/or Argonne Road. Vehicles
traveling to those properties with Hutchinson Road frontage will travel south on Argonne Road,
which is a south one way arterial, and turn right on Main Avenue and then immediately onto
Hutchinson Road. Since Argonne is one way, the vacation of Riverside Avenue will not impact
the driving patterns of persons attempting to access properties on Hutchinson located between
Main and Riverside.
5. Whether objections to the proposed vacation are made by owners of private property
(exclusive of petitioners) abutting the street or alley or other governmental agencies or
members of the general public?
Notice of the public hearing was made by posting written notice on the City's web page and at
City Hall; publishing notice in the Spokane Valley Herald, posting both ends of the right-of-
way to be vacated, and a direct mailing to property owners adjacent to the proposed vacations.
To date, no objections by the public or governmental agencies have been received.
Conclusions:
The findings confirm criteria set forth in SVMC 22.140.030 have been met.
B. COMPLIANCE WITH TITLE 21 SVMC — ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS
The Planning Division has reviewed the proposed project and has determined that the project is
categorically exempt pursuant to WAC 197-11-800(2)(i) and SVMC 21.20.040 from
environmental review under the provisions of the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA).
III. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Findings:
No public comments were received following the notice of public hearing posted, entailed, and
mailed on May 24, 2024.
A Notice of Public Hearing sign was posted on May 24, 2024 near the intersection of Riverside
and Argonne and on Hutchinson, at the terminating point of the area proposed to be vacated.
Notices were posted on the City of Spokane Valley web page. The public hearing notice was
mailed to all owners adjacent to the area proposed to be vacated on May 24, 2024. Staff and
agencies were notified of the request on April 24, 2024. Lastly, the notice was published in the
Spokane Valley Herald on May 24, 2024 and May 31, 2024.
Conclusion(s):
The City has met the noticing requirements for street vacations as required in SVMC
22.140.020(F)
IV. AGENCY COMMENTS
Request for comments from agencies and service providers was sent on April 24, 2024.

Findings:
The application was routed to jurisdictional agencies, utilities, and public districts for review and
comment.
Avista has gas service lines in Riverside and Hutchinson, and Electric service lines in Hutchinson;
Lumen, Modern Electric and Water Company, Hutchinson Irrigation District, and Spokane County
Wastewater has facilities, mainlines, or service lines located in Hutchinson right-of-way.
Easements are requested by each agency for the purposes of maintenance and access.
The Fire Department indicated that an approach is required from Argonne Road to a drive aisle on
site that allows through access to Hutchinson Road unless the site is re -addressed with a
Hutchinson address. If the site is re -addressed to a Hutchinson address the intersection of
Hutchinson Road and Harrington Avenue can be utilized as a fire apparatus turnaround and
through access to Argonne Road would not be required. The Fire Department had specific
requirements related to the turnarounds, gates, fencing and Knox products.
COSV Traffic and Development Engineering noted that if the street vacation request were granted
that the Riverside and Argonne intersection should be removed and replaced with continuous
sidewalk, a concrete approach or fencing should be placed across the property line on Hutchison,
south of Harrington, and new dead-end signage installed. The parcels fronting Argonne should be
combined which will limit future development to a single approach.
Other agencies, including City Departments, indicated they had no issue with the street vacation.
Conclusion(s):
Staff Report and Recommendation STV-2024-0002 Page 6 of 10
May 31, 2024
Staff concludes that jurisdictional agencies, utilities, and or public districts have no concerns
regarding the proposed street vacation of the segments of Riverside Avenue and Hutchinson Road
so long as the intersection of Riverside and Argonne is removed and replaced with continuous
sidewalk, the parcels fronting on Argonne are combined and utilize a combined approach, dead
end signage is provided, easements are established and access for emergency vehicles is preserved.
The request has been conditioned accordingly to address the concerns.
V. OVERALL CONCLUSIONS AND FINDINGS
Staff concludes that STV-2024-0002 as proposed is consistent, or will be made consistent, through
the recommended conditions of approval based on the approval criteria stated herein.
