(This meeting was recorded and will be retained at City Hall for a period of six years from the date of the meeting.) ROLL CALL Councilmembers Present: Councilmember McArthur, Councilmember Nash, Councilmember Hendricks, Councilmember Lacy, Mayor Collings. Councilmember Mikow arrived at 6:33 p.m. Staff Present: Virginia Oestreich, John Flinner, Bob Goodman, Charles Zimmerman, Nick Wiltz, Linda Countryman, Stuart Campbell. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE CITIZEN COMMENTS ' Matt Corbett, 606 Eleventh Street NE, presented a petition requesting a street light be placed on Eleventh Street NE between Eastmont Avenue and Grover Street. Mr. Corbett said the middle of the block was quite dark; there had been a number of car prowls and several near accidents. I Councilmember Hendricks asked if there was presently a power pole on Eleventh Street. Mr. Corbett said there was not a power pole, however, utility boxes were available. Mayor Collings thanked Mr. Corbett and suggested Street Superintendent Goodman research the request further. Jay Weselberger, 705 Eleventh Street NE, said while he was in favor of security measures for Eleventh Street, he did not feel a street light was the answer. He felt increasing police patrols and strengthening the neighborhood watch programs would have better results than a street light. He said the street light would only provide security to the middle of the block. He added he had a personal concern regarding the location of the street light adjacent to his property. Mayor Collings said the Street and Police Departments would research the situation and report back to Council. - 1 - - Z - bulJapTsuoO aaaM Aagg pTes jauMopupT pup zadOTanap aqy •pabuego uaaq peq Agzadoid queov[pe aqq geTd oq UOTgeOTTdde buTpuad aqq pTes TTegdweo aK 'TTounoo woi; suoTgsanb oq asuodsa3 uI 'SZ go3eN seM UOTgeOTTdde aqq JO; aUTTpeap aqy •UOTgeOTTddp queab aqq gqTM paaooid oq UOTIUZT3oggne s,TTounoo jo; paXse aH •bUTpun; ValsI so; agepTpueo AlaXTI a aq pTnoo pup abpTjg UeTzgsapad g9aa'4S gquTH aqq gqTM UT aTq pTnoM aueT aToAoTq aq-4 pTes TlagdweD •3W •auel alOAoTq ageapdas a pup saueT ino; gqTM spippupgs gaa.zgs TeT.Tagse og do gaalgg gquTH buT.Tq oq 9gaawano3dwT apnTOUT pinOM sueld 'goaCoid zopTi.Too gaasgs gquTH PUP ggqbTg aqq JO; aTgeTTene spun; H3ZsI aq pTnoo azagq pTes Tlegdwea jH 'squawanojdwT gaaigs uo uebeaQ 'jW Pup subTsap uOTsTATpgns uo XioM TTTM OARK •iW •E661 Jo; AgTO aqq Jo; s.TaauTbua buTglnsuoO Mau aqg ''DUI 'sageTOossV auogsbUTATI-appM pup 'jailloo 'puowweH ;o uebaaQ TaTupa pup OAeH pTOJP H paonpojiUT TTagdweo aauupla AgTo quawg3pdaa buTuueld •w•d 6 oq 'w'e 6 wo.z; 6 T23dy io; palnpagos seM wn3o; aqy 'iaquao uoTquanuoo aagogeuaM aqq le uolgegjodsuejl ueijgsapad pup aloAOTg jog wnjog TpuoTbag uolbuTgseM Teaquao ggaoN aqq puagge oq TTOunoo pagTAuT uaslo •sH 'buTgaaw iTounoo gxau aqq Aq algpTTene aq pTnogs sggpTM qoo; aATeMq pup uaq aqq qqoq uo sagewTgsa gsoO pTes aqg •uoTgepuawwoOgj gqpTM a aXew oq TTezq aqg ;o goadse U6Tsap aqq oquT gbnoua ie; you asaM s.zaauTbua aqq '.TanaMoq 'gqpTM TTpsg goo; Uaq e ,To; p911PO Tesodoad queib aqq pTes UasTo •sli •iTVII aqq ;o gqpTM aqq uo apew uaaq peq UOTSTOap a ;T paXse sXOTapuaH aagwawlTounoo 'Alnf Aq papieMe eq pup aunt uT qno o6 pTnogs uoTgon.Tgsuoo goaCosd jo; spTe lTjdv uT uaATb aq pTnoM sbuTpuT; ;o uoTgpquesaid a pup uoos XsoM uTbaq oq paTnpagos aaaM sMajo AaAins agTs-uo 'sageTOossy pup uTeT3agweg3 'g •sjaauTbua bUTglnsuoo gqTM paubTs uaaq ppq goeil uoo p pup uoTgeq.Todsupjl ;o quewgjpdaa aqq woi; peATaoaj uaaq peq paaooid oq UOTgeZTioggne uaggT=M pTes uasTo ja;Tuuaf sogeuTpi000 gOaCold goaCold TTers quoi;.xaATH aagageuaM gses sluodau INUHIUVd3C1 'suosied palgpsTp ;o uoTgepoww000e aqq 10; paMolTe aoueuTpao gpOTxeq aqq pTes Uew.TawwTZ Aauioggy AgTO uT 1 apT.z oq saTsea geOTxeq aqq ;o quawg.xedwoO quo.x; aqq puno; uaq;o suosied paTgesTp pTes aH •uoTgasOsTp uMo JTagq ge geOTXeq aqq go quawg.Tedwoo Aup uT apTi oq pamolle aq pTnogs ssabuasspd pTes paag 'zK •aoupuTpio geoTxeq Mau aqq gqTM suiaouoo sTq passaidxa 'qpo s,ApooM jo; jaAT.zp e 'aag3geuaM 'gaajgs sTMa7 ply 'paaH XOef r a new plat which would be all residential. As the present plat application would be put on hold, there would be no problem submitting an ISTEA grant application. The application would list Corridor A as the selected route, however, the application would not commit the City to that route. Mr. Campbell suggested applying for the grant monies now because of the deadline. He said Council would have the option of holding public hearings at a later date regarding the corridor choices. Mayor Collings said the corridor issue had recently surfaced again because of the change in the pending plat application and the notice of available ISTEA funds. She said Council may have to reprioritize the City's Six -Year Transportation Plan. Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Mikow, second by Councilmember Lacy to authorize City Planner Campbell to submit a grant application for ISTEA funding for the Eighth and Ninth Street Corridor project. The motion carried, 3-2 (Hendricks, Nash). Mr. Campbell said he had been in contact with Eastern Washington University regarding .a study of the downtown area. The study would be conducted by students who would gather information on revitalizing the downtown area. Topics of the study could include landscaping, commercial square footage, and bicycle/pedestrian access. Ten to fifteen students would conduct the study and a report would be made to Council. The East Wenatchee Chamber of Commerce Take Pride Committee had agreed to provide meals, lodging, and office space for the students. Expenses for the project were anticipated at about three thousand dollars. The Douglas County Planning Department had agreed to contribute half of that total. Mr. Campbell requested Council's permission to provide the remaining fifteen hundred dollars from the planning department's professional services budget. Council agreed by consensus to the expenditure of the budgeted funds. Mr. Campbell said the placement of political signs and yard sale signs within the City limits was a concern and he asked Council's direction in pursuing solutions. Council authorized Mr. Campbell to research information for a new sign ordinance. CONSENT CALENDAR Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Lacy, second by Councilmember Mikow to approve the Consent Calendar as presented and as the following items were listed.

Mr. Campbell said currently duplexes and one single family residence were located on the property. He said the developer hoped to build four-plexes. Mr. Campbell said the East Wenatchee Planning Commission recommended approval. The City would need to work closely with the applicant on safety measures required for a building permit. The Douglas County Fire District would require water improvements for a new development. In response to a question from Councilmember McArthur, City Attorney Zimmerman said the applicant would be responsible for the water improvements. Mr. Campbell read the following from the City of East Wenatchee Comprehensive Plan and Findings of fact into the record: The relationship of this upper area to Downtown at Ninth Street and Baker makes it logical for support uses such as offices possibly supplemented with small restaurants and limited commercial (i.e.--print shops, I secretarial services). In addition, as part of a mixed use project, high density multiple family could be appropriate along Baker Avenue adjacent to Ninth. Valley Mall Parkway should be encouraged to develop with pedestrian oriented retail uses with offices and apartments above. Primary access should be from Valley Mall Parkway and Baker. Strong pedestrian connections along Ninth and Eleventh should be developed. Findings of Fact: 1. The Comprehensive Plan of the City recommends multi -family and office development for this area. 2. The proposed rezone site is on Baker Avenue which is an arterial. 3. A SEPA determination of non -significance has been issued for this proposal. Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Hendricks, ' second by Councilmember McArthur to approve the Warren Hills rezone application and to adopt the findings of the Planning Commission as presented. The applicant would be responsible for water improvements. The motion carried unanimously, 5-0. - 5 - •jogeT iaaqunToA ;o uoTgeuTqwoo e apnTouT dew PUP poT.Tad uoTgonlgsuoa aqq buT.znp paganpaoo aq TTegs UoTge4a69na)( •ageTjdosdde se saToads queTd iaggo pup sagsnq Isaaj:t aATgeu 'siaxiavq ;o uoTgeuTqwoo a buTsn dq agegs Te3ngeu 1T8g4 oq paaogsas aq TTegs ea-Te aATgTsuas dTTequawuoaTAua uTg1TM sTTe3g pazTTewio;un buTgsTxg L •seaJe aATgTsuas dTTequawuOaTAua go aingeu ageoTTap agq buTgeoTpuT speaq TTesg qe UoTgew.xo;UT TeuoTgeonpe pup uoTgegabaA ;o quawgstTgeqsaaa 'saaTjjeq addq 3aggo 3o boT apnTouT TTegs sainseaw uoTgoagojd •saouegjngsTp xoogsaATT/uewnq gsuTe6e pzenb pup 196euew 'gaagosd oq swsTuegoaw butpnToUT 'aaeo pue aoueTT6TA TUToads glTM pansasaid aq TTegs UUld easy u6Tsaa auTTa.Togs aqz UTggTM aATgTsuas dTTequawaOJTAua se pageubTsap pue paT;TquapT seaiy •9 •saoanosaa aqg goagozd og uaKeg sdags ageTadoidde PUP paT;Tgou uaaq aneq saTgTjoggne aadoad aqg TTqun paddogs aq gsnw saoinosa3 p93anoosTp aqq qoa;;e pinoM gegq XJOM TIP 'uoTgon.zgsUoo/buTpeSb bUTjnp paianoosTp aq saoinosaj TeoTboioaegoae due pinogs S •sagTs aoinosai Teangino ;o quawgeazq aqg oq 6uTgeTaz saToTTod pup suoTgeinbaz agegs quauTq.zad ggTM 6uTdaax UT aq TTegs uoTgon.Tgsuoo pup quewdoTanap agTs TTe.zano ea:Te gaaload aqq uTggTM sagTs aoinosas jejngino uMouxun ;o uoTgaago.Td aansua oy t, •dgTTTgestp jo 'xas 'awoauT 'abe ;o ssaTpsebaj saasn Tie Jog saTgTungioddo apTAojd oq pagon3gsuoo aq TTegs saTgTTTae; oTTgnd E •uoTgeoTTdde sTgq ggTM p8MaTA91 sueid aqq ggTM aouepn000e UT paaoOJd TTegs quawdoTanaa z 'goT3gsTa glleaH seTbnoo-ueTagD aqq Pup s3aauT6ug ;o daoo aqq 'a;TTpTTM ;o quawg3edaa 'saT3974sTg ;o quawgiedaa aqq 'd6oToog go quealiv daa aqq butpnTauT suoTgeTnba.z pup sapoo TeooT Pup agegs 'Te39pag aTgeoTTdde TIP ggTM dTdwoa TTegs Tesodoad sTgy •T :p.xooa.z aqq so; qoe; ;o sbUTpuT; pup suoTgTpuoo buTMoTTo; aqq aneb TTagdweo iH 'sgTwti dgTo aqq UTggTM dTTengoe TTelq aqq ;o uoTgiod gegq ' oq dTuo paTTdde dgTD agq a.zo;aq gTwjad eqy 'gUo3;JaATH aagogaUatd gseg agq jog gTWJad allTIaiogs aqq ;o TEAoidde papuawwooaa ;;egs pue UoTssTwwoD buTuueTd agq pTes TTagdweo iauueTd dgTO quol;JaATg aagageUaM gseg JO; gTwsad allTTazogs e anoidde 01 uoTgepUawwooag So-£0-E6 r 8.
