BOARD OP COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
FINDINGS AND ORDER REGARDING ZONING MAP PROPOSAL 2E -37 -61
WHEREAS, Petitions: have been presented to the Spokane County
Planning Commission by Beulah 13. Conran requesting that the Zoning Map be
changed from the existing Agricultural sone classification to Commercial zone
classification on property generally located to the southeast of the inter-
section of Evergreen Road and Sprague Avenue, Spokane County, Washington,
more particularly described as follows:
Beginning 30 feet east and 351.2 feet south of the NW
corner of Section 23, thence east 123 feet, thence north
to a point 275.5 feet south of the north section line,
thence east 248.65 feet, thence north 245.5 feet to the
north section line, thence east 462.35 feet, thence south
to the north R/W line of Chicago,. Milwaukee, and St.
Paul Railroad, thence west 834 feet to the west section
line, thence north. to P.O.B., all in Section. 23, Town-
ship 25 N., Range 44, E.W.M., Spokane County,
Washington.
WHEREAS, The Spokane County Planning Commission at its regular
meeting and public hearing held on September 28, 1961, did formally act upon
said petition and did formally recommend to est Board of County Commissioners
that said petition be denied, for reasons .stated in their recommendations of
September 28, 1961, and official records, and,
WHEREAS, An appeal on the recommendations of the Spokane County
Planning Commission was filed on October 5, 1961, by Beulah B. Conran and
her attorney, R. Max Etter, and,
WHEREAS, The Board of County Commissioners of Spokane County did,
on the 25th day of October, 1961, hold a public hearing on the recommendation
of the Spokane County Planning Commission and the appeal thereon, and,
WHEREAS, At said hearing conducted by the Board of County
Commissioners, opportunity was afforded those favoring and those opposing
said proposed zone change, and the Board of County Commissioners of
Spokane County having fully considered the testimony given, the official
records and minutes of the Spokane County Planning Commission, correspond-
ence, and all other evidence, and having made a personal inspection of the
property in question on October 31, 1961, and having made investigation of
the matter, does hereby find:
1. That the' property in question is generally located to the
southeast of the intersection of'Sprague Avenue and Evergreen Road.
2. That the property in question is about 10 acres in size and
has been in the Agricultural zone classification since March 27, 1942.
3. The existing zone 'surrounding the property in question is
as follows: north - 'Agricultural Suburban, east - Agricultural, south -
Agricultural, and west Local Business and Agricultural.
4. The existing use of property surrounding the property in
question is as follows: north - primary single family dwellings, east -
scattered single family dwellings, south - agricultural uses and single
family dwellings - and west - service station and grocery market.
5. The long range plan as developed by the County Planning
Commission indicates that the property' in question is suitable for one of four
types of commercial zone classifications.
6. Substantial investments have been made in single family
dwellings in the area.
NOW, THEREFORE, The Board of County Commissioners of Spokane
County does hereby concur in the recommendation of the Spokane County
Planning Commission and hereby denies the petition of Beulah B. Coman to
change the Zoning Map from Agricultural to Commercial for the following
reasons:
2
• 1. The principal permitted uses allowed in the Commercial zone
classification could be detrimental to residential investments made in the
immediate area of the property in question.
2. We see no reasons to substitute our judgment for that of the
Planning COMMISS1011 in their recommendation that the property in question,
because of its location and proximity to residential development, is suitable
for the Local Business zone classification rather than the Commercial zone
classification which has many permitted uses which could be obnoxious to
the existing single family dwellings.
3. The proposed zone change to Commercial is not based on the
advancement of the public health, safety, and general welfare.
DATED This 6th day of November, 1961.

Attention: Mr. John Porter, Director
Dear Mr. Porter:
Attached is a request for a waiver allowing construction of a
physician's office to be built within five feet of the west property
line of his property.
The basis for this request, which we feel to be reasonable
under the circumstances, will be found under the following points:
(1) Land immediately adjoining subject property is also owned
by a physician who has converted an existing dwelling to a somewhat
similar professional use identified as an "X -Ray" office.
(2) This applicant, in conjunction with a partner, owns a
parcel of land immediately adjoining subject parcel on its other two
sides (the third side being the street) 165 feet by approximately 600 feet
in size, upon which it is their intent to continue to upgrade by building
additional similar type improvements to that being constructed by the
applicant. In order to accomplish this and to have an adequate street
system to serve these improvements, it will be necessary that subject
building be allowed to be located closer to its property line than
present zoning will allow. If this is done, and upon completion of all
planned improvements, the roadway through the total development will be
of a size which could ultimately be dedicated to the county for street
purposes and control.
(3) We are certain that a sensible improvement of this type
is proper for the area in which it is located, and that this upgrading
will not only strengthen the economic standards of the area, but it is
needed in this community.
S E R V I N G T H E I N L A N D E M P I R E
October 23, 1961
(4) Lastly, such improvements, properly planned and executed,
should add substantially to the tax base of the area.
It is our hope that the Plan Commission, having made a study
of this recommendation, will feel that a waiver of this type will be
for the best interests of the community.
