AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration - Spokane Valley Appeal number APP 02-05
GOVERNING LEGISLATION:
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The Council previously conducted a closed record
hearing to allow the parties to present their oral arguments for and against the decision by the
Hearing Examiner. .
BACKGROUND: In November, 2004, Whipple Consulting Engineers submitted applications for
rezone of 4.6 acres of property located in the general vicinity of Barker and 40 Avenue in
eastern Spokane Valley from the existing UR 3,5 to UR7''. The application also sought to
subdivide the property into 21 lots with a PUD overlay zone. The Hearing Examiner (HE)
approved the rezone, but denied the preliminary plat and PUD overlay. The basis for denying
the preliminary plat and PUD was that the proposed plan failed to comply with a provision of the
PUD ordinance requiring all PUDs to have ingress/egress onto an arterial or collector, as
identified in the City's Interim Comprehensive Plan. ~ Following the issuance of the HE's decision on March 24, 2005, Whipple, represented by
attorney Meg Arpin, appealed the denial of the preliminary plat and PUD. Two neighboring
property owners, Tom and Kathy Tabbert, and Stephen and Barbara Hormel, appealed the
decision to grant the rezone from UR 3.5 to UR7". That appeal was designated APP 01-05, and has already been resolved by the Council. That decision by the Council was then appealed to
Spokane County Superior Court, and is pending before the Court. Appellant Whipple's assertions on appeal are summarized below, followed by the response by
Tabbert and Hormel. . The central issue on appeal for Whipple was~ that although the PUD ordinance (which went into effect the _same day the application was submitted) states that a PUD must access
onto an arterial or collector, this results in an unfair decision cornpared to if the project had been
submitted as a straight platting action under RCW 58.17. Hormel and Tabbert summarily stated
that fhe decision was correct, and that Whipple's arguments were invalid without providing any legal support.
Staff recommends remanding the denial of the PUD and preliminary plat back to the HE
with instructions to reconsider the application either as a long plat or under the City's
PUD provisions if subsequent amendments to the PUD provisions may affect the
,application by Whipple.
OPTIONS: (1) Enter Findings, Conclusions and Decision upholding the recommendation of the
HE; (2) Enter Findings, Conclusions and Decision amending the'recommendation of the HE; (3)
~J Enter Findings, Conclusions and Decision granting the appeal and granting the relief sought; (4)
Enter Findings, Conclusions and Decision remanding the application back to the HE with
instructions to reconsider the matter.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: "I move that we instruct staff to draft a Findings,
Conclusion and Decision to remand the application back to the HE with instructions to
reconsider the matter."

Re: Right-0f-Way Property Acquisition Procedures - WSDOT Agreements
The City's Appleway -Tshirley to Hodges project is a federally-funded project that will require
the pu.rchase of additional right-of-way to make the necessary improvements. The Washington
State Departmeut ofTransportation (WSDOT) is the overseer of all right-nf-way acquisitions on
federally-funded projects psr agreements with the Federal Higbway Administration (FIIWA).
f~ In order to purc.base right-of-way vNith federal funds, the City must enter into agreements with
WSDOT. These standard agrecments rcquire the City to acquire Real Property in aceordance
with the state Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Act (Ch. 8.26
RCV) and state regulations (Ch. 468-100 WAC) and applicable fedcral regulations. These
agreements a]so require the identification of staffresponsible for propcrty acquisition and administration along with a description or policy on the city's approval of administrative sectlements.
Attached are c;apies of the standard agreements with the necessary city inforrnation included.
Please note that the approvaJ of these agreements may reyuire a m.inor modification to City Code
Chapter 3.40.050, subsection `H' with regard to approval of real estate purctases above
appraised value. The procedures required by WSDOT for right-of-way acquisition provides
FHWA-appmved oversight on the appropriate usc of federal funds. A11 right-of=way
acquisitions have to follow these approved procedures and must be approved by WSDOT prior
to final purchase. These proc:esses ensure that federal and local funds are spent appmpriately
when purchasing right-of-way property.

CODE COMPLIANCE:
The number of "Violations Reported" on the following chart reflects actual Spokane
Valley Zoning Code viotations, plus complaiMs received which were not violations. The
comptaints received are added to the total because they reflect time officers spent in the
field conducting investigations. In addition, the "lnvestigated' and "Pending" columns
accurately reflect Code Compliance's current abitity to process and investigate backlog
cases.
The following chart provides a montfiiy comparison of the types of Spokane Valley Code
violations reported. Violations are reported based on the primary complaint received,
rather than the numbef of additional violations identified on any individual premises.
The investigation of a complaint of junk vehicles, for example, may also resuft in
identiftcation of additional violations such as the accumulation of trash or harboring of
livestock. These are not included in the summary. A total of 104 complaints were
processed in September.

Re: Deputy City Attorney Classification
'I'he Deputy Cily Attomey (DCA) position was crcated in April 2003. Up until sununer
2005, when Spokane Valley's first in-house'City Attomey was hired, the lleputy City
Al'loniey (1.0 F"1'E) was the Ciry's only in-house legal position.
iJpon its creation, thc position was classified at Grade 16 ($49;740 -$63;768 per year).
The City periodically revieNvs position descr.iptions and placcment on the r•la.ssification
mateLx to makc siire compensation for the position is appropriate.
The punpose of this iiiemo is to summariie lhe results of a review of the Depuly-Cily
~ Attomey position description and classification.
Anaivsis of the 17CA Position
With, a smal] in-liouse legal staff, Spokane Valley has always expected a lugh degree of
experience; knowledge and professional judgment of the Deputy City Attorney posilion.
T'urrher, the City lizs ahvays reliecl uPon lhe DCA to act independcntly ancl efCectively
bascd upon that judgment. Tlle L)CA also scrves as acting City Attoi°ney in the City '
. Al'tonley's absence. This was the ct►,se whelher the City Attomey was connacteci or was a
. City employee.
These expectations wcrc rcflected iii the original description. City stat`f has revainpcd the
pASition description to bctter tirtietilate certain responsibilitics, and ta revise some general
language consistent ~vith othcr position descriptions created or revised over xhe past year.
These changes fall iuto the catcgory of'clarifeation r.ather than ncw responsibilities.
Comp.tr:iblcs
The ncxt question is ,vhether the UCE1 position is appropriately classif eci on the Cinr's
~ matrix given the assigned responsibilitics. Wc typically look for private anci public
comparables.

Because of the degree of sophistication ald knowlecige rcquired, as «<ell as the Icvcl of
resPonsibilily the City confers upon the ]7CA, the position is bctter coinpa.red ro seasoncd
attarneys rather thul attorney5 who arc just starting out.
lVhile there are many privately practicuig attorneys, it would be casier if we were
comparing the Salarics of attonleys whp are rclatively new to the field. As private
attorneYs gain experience and receive added responsibility aiid expectacions of
indepcndcnt judgmenl anci action, they are frequently cornpensated in ways not t_ypical to
the public sector; such as proEit sharing or bonuses. Therefore, it is difficult co compare
the compensation of the City's DCA t:o comparable positions in the private sector.
Fpllowing is a suiiuiiary nt the annull salaiy of municipal attorncy classif caCions in some
camparable Washuigton cicies. This analysis focuses on positions with coiliparable
re_sponsibililies.
