I PROPERTY INFORMATION
Size and Characteristics: The unimproved right-of-way lies at the west terminus Alki
Avenue west of the Alki Avenue and Bannen Road
intersection. It consists of flat,vacant field overgrown by
weeds. Rock piles are located along the northern boundary
of the right-of-way.
Comprehensive Plan Designation: Office(0) and Low Density Residential (LDR)
Zoning of Property: Garden Office(GO) and Single-family Residential (R-3)
Existing Land Use: Vacant. Commercial development is proposed for the
properties west and north of the property.
II. STAFF ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL
A. COMPLIANCE WITH SVMC TITLE 22.140.030—STREET VACATIONS
Findings:
1. Whether a change of use or vacation of the street or alley will better serve the public?
The right-of-way was never improved with pavement, curb or gutter and remained vacant property. Vacating
the right-of-way will allow property owners to develop the adjacent properties with access taken from
Evergreen Road.
2. Whether the street or alley is no longer required for public use or public access?
The south half-street right-of-way was dedicated as part of short subdivision SP-1234-00 in March 2002. It
was not required to be built at the time of the subdivision and has never been built. It remains vacant. The
north half of the right-of-way has never been dedicated.
3. Whether the substitution of a new and different public way better would be more useful to the public?
The current half-street configuration would not permit an emergency vehicle to turn around. The applicant
has agreed to dedicate an emergency access turn-around as part of the vacation. The dedication of the turn-
around will provide a workable alternative for emergency vehicles and snow removal equipment. The current
half-street right-of-way configuration provides no viable turn-around.
4. Whether conditions may so change in the future as to provide a greater use or need than presently
exists?
The surrounding property owners are able to access the properties adjacent to the right-of-way from
Evergreen Avenue. The property owner of the parcel north of the right-of-way has indicated he will bring
access from Evergreen Road for future development rather than dedicate the right-of-way needed to complete
the full street width. There are no plans for future development of this right-of-way. It is not in use at this
time.
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?
No public comments have been received as of this report. Spokane County Utilities, Vera Water and Power,
and Avista utilities have confirmed they have no utilities in the right of way and will not require easements.
Conclusions:
The findings confirm criteria set forth in Section 22.140.030 of the SVMC have been met.
B. COMPLIANCE WITH SVMC TITLE 21—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 and Section 21.20.040 of the City of Spokane
Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) from environmental review under the provisions of the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA).
III. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Findings: No public comments were received.
Conclusion(s):
A Notice of Public Hearing sign was posted on the property August 22, 2013 and notices were posted in
the Spokane Valley Public Library, City of Spokane Valley permit center and main reception area the
same day. Public hearing notices were mailed to a 400' radius of the site on August 23, 2013 and notice
was published in the Spokane Valley Herald the same day. Staff concludes that adequate public
noticing was conducted for STV-2013-0001 in accordance with adopted public noticing procedures and
has determined that the proposal meets all applicable development regulations.
IV. AGENCY COMMENTS
Comments were received from the following agencies and are attached as exhibits to this staff report:
1. City of Spokane Valley Development Engineering
2. City of Spokane Valley Public Works Department(Senior Traffic Engineer)
3. Spokane County Utilities
4. Spokane Regional Health District
5. Vera Water and Power
6. Avista Utilities
V. OVERALL CONCLUSIONS AND FINDINGS

through the application of conditions of approval with the approval criteria stated herein.

Subject: RE: Mike Silvey Evergreen Road site
Martin,
I believe Vera is the electric provider
As far as the alignment of the streets and lots, it seems like I have numerous variations of this project from COSV and
separately from Simpson.
What I really would like to see is a good clean before and after drawing. I assumed that the cul de sac was moving east a
short distance but was going to still exist.
Now I think you are saying the hammerhead turnaround is the end of the street. On the map you sent me that says
"Turn around to be dedicated" shows the little cull de sac named Alki Avenue still there.
Bottom line....
We need to take a gas from Alki and Bannen area and build it in a westerly direction to connect to the east boundary of
Lot 2. If the cul de sac stays we are probably okay. If the cul de sac goes away and the turnaround is the end of the road,
we need an 10' easement from the end of the road to the east boundary of lot 2.
I hope I am understanding all of this because it is not very clear.
Call if you have any questions or clarifications.
Dave

Subject: RE: Mike Silvey Evergreen Road site
Dave,
The street vacation now looks like this drawing. As you can see the right-of-way will not extend all the way to the
western edge of existing Tract"D". Will this still be sufficient for Avista. Can you tell me who provides the electric in this
area? I'll need them to review also.

Duane,
From what I can see from the proposed site plan Avista shouldn't need any new easements in this area even if the cut de
sac is moved. As long as Alki is still dedicated ROW and we can get from point A to point B on my exhibit and stay in
ROW the entire distance we should be fine. Lot 2 and 4 could be served from this line extension along Alki and lot 1
already has service from Evergreen and lot 3 has a service stub on Evergreen also. Hope this helps.
Note that Avista has gas only in this area and is not the electric service provider.

Micki,
Are you conditioning it somehow so that the new Lot 2 has an easement to Evergreen and is not landlocked? Just
thinking about problems that could arise if the properties didn't develop as they planned and got sold off.

1 1. AG1A]iTCZ
The Public Works Department submits the following comments for the Public Hearing.
These comments are based on the criteria for street vacation listed in Chapter 22.140.030 of
the Spokane Valley Municipal Code.
1. Whether a change of use or vacation of the street or alley will better serve the public;
The vacation is expected to have no impact on the general public.
1
2. Whether the street or alley is no longer required for public use or access;
The street is currently providing access to parcel#45143.1572 which would become
landlocked with this proposal. However, the City expects to condition the vacation
upon the provision of an easement for that parcel so it will have access to Evergreen.
3. Whether the substitution of a new and different public way would be more useful to
the public;
No. There is no need for a new and different public way.
4. Whether conditions may so change in the future as to provide a greater use or need
than presently exists;
This vacation would allow the property owners to combine several lots together for a
commercial development project. The commercial access would be provided from
Evergreen. The other properties to the east on Alki would have no change in their
access.
5. Whether objections to the proposed vacation are made by owners of private property
abutting the street or alley or other governmental agencies or members of the general
public.
Public Works is not aware of any objections at this time.

B. New Business:
Study Session: Street Vacation—STV-2013-0001
Commissioner Phillips recused himself from the Study Session (STV-2013-0001) due
to conflict of interest. Although not directly involved, Mr. Phillips' consulting firm is
working on the proposed street vacation.
Planner Marty Palaniuk presented an overview of a street vacation requested by the
applicant, Mike Silvey, on behalf of Evergreen and Valleyway, LLC. Mr. Silvey requests
the vacation of an unimproved, half-width, right-of-way section of Alki Avenue (81 feet in
length by 19 feet wide with 50' radius cul-de-sac at the terminus). The vacated cul-de-sac
will be replaced through the dedication of an emergency access turn-around.
Commissioner Stoy asked if the dedicated area is going to be the fire department
hammerhead. Planner Palaniuk stated that the City staff have looked at it and agreed with
the vacation and dedication of the hammerhead. He commented that a half cul-de sac does
no good for the fire department; they cannot turn around on a half cul-de-sac, so idea was
to get a turnaround hammerhead there. It's not the ideal for the end of Alki but it will be
functional to allow emergency vehicles to get in there and get turned around. It also would
give the City somewhere to push snow in the winter.
Commissioner Anderson asked if you vacate a portion of a street, would the city require the
right-of-way to be improved. Mr. Palaniuk stated that the city will require the
improvements when the developer gets a building permit for this property. Planning
Manager Kuhta stated that the property to the north would be required to dedicate and to
Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 4
improve a portion of their property; it appears that they are moving fast to get these areas
developed and most likely, there will be many improvements within the next year.
X. GOOD OF THE ORDER
Commissioner Anderson had a comment on the Spokane Valley Municipal Code, Section
17.80.150 F, which has the two approval criteria's:
F. Approval Criteria. The City may approve amendments to this code if it finds that:
1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the applicable provisions of the
Comprehensive Plan; and
2. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relation to public health,
safety,welfare, and protection of the environment.
He stated that the problem he has is it says; and between 1 and 2,which mean
both the criteria's need to be met to do what it says. Also in sentence 2 it states:
bears a substantial relation to public health, safety,welfare, and protection of
the environment. Commissioner Anderson does not believe in most cases you can
support that sentence. However, there are cases that you could. Commissioner
Anderson stated he is curious why an and verses an or type requirement and can
that requirement be changed. Planning Manager Kuhta stated that the basis of
zoning is to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. This is a standard clause
in the municipal code. Deputy City Attorney Erik Lamb stated our constitutional
authority for municipalities to act and to enact zoning regulations, is our police
power to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. He continued that in
requiring this in an approval criteria were insuring that it is under our constitutional
authority. Commissioner Anderson stated he has a tough time using the same
paragraph every time, there is no validity to it.
XI. ADJOURNMENT
There being no other business the meeting was adjourned at 6:36 p.m.
