She said if the map meets with approval of the Council she would like to start collecting information needed to provide to Douglas County and the Boundary Review Board. She added she has been in negotiations with Douglas County to amend the provisions of the existing annexation agreement relating to repayment of road taxes. Mayor Lacy said upon annexation his intent to repay the road taxes to the County was to pay them as the City receives them so as not to put the City into debt. Following Council discussion regarding annexation boundaries, annexation procedures and services needed in the proposed annexation area, Council approved the proposed Kentucky Avenue annexation map. Community Development Director Barnett said she attended an Access Hearing this evening regarding the SR28/285 Interchange. She said the purpose of the meeting was to talk to property owners that would have their access eliminated or restricted. She explained that the City of East Wenatchee owns property from the Fred Meyer retaining wall to the Columbia River and the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) will need that property for a maintenance road and also to enable them to grant an easement to the Chelan County Public Utility District for replacement of existing power lines now located in the Fred Meyer parking lot that will need to be moved prior to road construction. She said the City currently has access from Grant Road however that area of Grant Road is not accessible. Ms. Barnett said the City has 14 days to respond to the request for comments to the access and is asking Council to allow her to respond, requesting preservation of access to the shoreline in the event it becomes necessary for right-of-way it could be used for passive recreation and have it on record with WSDOT that the City anticipates being able to access property using their proposed maintenance road. Ms. Barnett reviewed the Highway 28/SR285 Interchange design route with Council. Council approved communication with WSDOT to preserve access. Community Development Director Barnett gave an update on the Canyon A Drainage project explaining that the alignment has been modified from previous designs to accommodate WSDOT's proposal to construct an urban interchange at Grant Road and Highway 28.
