CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE
MARCH 2023 AMERICAN RED CROSS MONTH
During American Red Cross Month in March, we celebrate the humanitarian spirit of East Wenatchee
and reaffirm our commitment to help ensure no one faces a crisis alone.
Caring for one another is at the heart of our community and exemplified by the people of East
Wenatchee, whose simple acts of kindness through the Red Cross provide help and hope in people’s most
difficult moments — continuing the lifesaving legacy of Clara Barton, who founded the organization
more than 140 years ago to prevent and alleviate human suffering.
Every day, these ordinary individuals lend a helping hand to make an extraordinary difference for
neighbors in need — whether it’s providing emergency shelter, food and comfort for families displaced by
home fires and other disasters; donating lifesaving blood for cancer patients, accident victims, and people
with sickle cell disease and other life-threatening conditions; supporting military members and veterans,
along with their families and caregivers, through the unique challenges of service; or delivering
international humanitarian aid and reconnecting loved ones separated by crises around the world.
Their support, volunteerism and generous donations are critical to our community’s resilience. We hereby
recognize this month of March in honor of all those who fulfill Clara Barton’s noble words, “You must
never think of anything except the need and how to meet it,” and ask everyone to join in this
commitment.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Mayor Jerrilea Crawford of East Wenatchee, by virtue of the authority vested
in me by the laws of the City of East Wenatchee and Washington State, do hereby proclaim March 2023
as Red Cross Month. I encourage all citizens of East Wenatchee to reach out and support its humanitarian
mission.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 7th day of March, in the year of our
Lord two thousand twenty-three, and of the City of East Wenatchee, Washington.
Mayor Jerrilea Crawford

Article I. Statutory Authorization, Findings of Fact, Purpose, and Objectives
15.44.010 Statutory authorization.
The Legislature of the State of Washington has delegated the responsibility to local communities to adopt floodplain
management regulations designed to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of its citizenry.
Therefore, the City of East Wenatchee, does ordain as follows:The Legislature of the state of Washington has
delegated the responsibility to local governmental units to adopt regulations designed to promote the public health,
safety, and general welfare of its citizenry. (Ord. 05-04 § 1, 2005; Ord. 280 § 1.1, 1979)
15.44.020 Findings of fact.
A. The flood hazard areas of East Wenatchee are subject to periodic inundation which results in loss of life and
property, health, and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public
expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public
health, safety, and general welfare.
B. These flood losses are caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions in areas of special flood hazards which
increase flood heights and velocities, and when inadequately anchored, damage uses in other areas. Uses that are
inadequately floodproofed, elevated, or otherwise protected from flood damage also contribute to the flood loss.
(Ord. 05-04 § 1, 2005; Ord. 280 § 1.2, 1979)
15.44.030 Statement of purpose.
It is the purpose of this ordinance to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare; reduce the annual cost of
flood insurance; and minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions
designed to:
1) Protect human life and health;
2) Minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control projects;
3) Minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and generally undertaken at the expense
of the general public;
4) Minimize prolonged business interruptions;
5) Minimize damage to public facilities and utilities, such as water and gas mains; electric, telephone, and sewer
lines; and streets and bridges located in flood hazard areas;
6) Help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development of flood hazard areas so as to
minimize blight areas caused by flooding;
7) Notify potential buyers that the property is in a Special Flood Hazard Area;
8) Notify those who occupy flood hazard areas that they assume responsibility for their actions; and
9) Participate in and maintain eligibility for flood insurance and disaster relief.

15.44.54030 Variances procedure.
A. Appeal Board.
1. The board of adjustment, as established by the city council, shall hear and decide appeals and requests for
variances from the requirements of this chapter.
2. The board of adjustment shall hear and decide appeals when it is alleged there is an error in any requirement
decision or determination made by the floodplain administrator in the enforcement or administration of this
chapter.
3. Those aggrieved by the decision of the board of adjustment, or any taxpayer directly affected by the decision,
may appeal such decision to the Douglas County superior court, as provided in RCW 35A.63.110.
4. In passing upon such applications, the board of adjustment shall consider all technical evaluations, all
relevant factors, standards specified in other sections of this chapter, and:
a. The danger that materials may be swept onto other lands to the injury of others;
b. The danger to life and property due to flooding or erosion damage;
c. The susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood damage and the effect of such
damage on the individual owner;
d. The importance of the services provided by the proposed facility to the community;
e. The necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where applicable;
f. The availability of alternative locations for the proposed use which are not subject to flooding or erosion
damage;
g. The compatibility of the proposed use with existing and anticipated development;
h. The relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive plan and floodplain management program
for that area;
i. The safety of access to the property in times of flood for ordinary and emergency vehicles;
j. The expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise, and sediment transport of the floodwaters and the
effects of wave action, if applicable, expected at the site; and
Exhibit A
03-07-23 City Council Meeting Agenda Packet
Page 57 of 91
k. The costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions, including maintenance
and repair of public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical and water systems, and streets and
bridges.
5. Upon consideration of the factors of subsection (A)(4) of this section and the purpose of this chapter, the
board of adjustment may attach such conditions to the granting of variances as it deems necessary to further the
purposes of this chapter.
6. The administrator shall maintain the records of all appeal actions and report any variances to the Federal
Insurance Administration upon request.
B. Criteria.
1. Generally, the only condition under which a variance from the elevation standard may be issued is for new
construction and substantial improvements to be erected on a lot of one-half acre or lesssmall in size contiguous
to and surrounded by lots or irregularly shaped lot contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing structures
constructed below the base flood elevationlevel, provided the procedures of Sections 4.0 and 5.0 {or the
numbering system used by the community} of this ordinance have been fully considered.. As the lot size
increases beyond one-half acre, the technical justification required for issuing the variance increases.
2. Variances shall not be issued within a designated floodway if any increase in flood levels during the base
flood discharge would result.
3. Variances shall only be issued upon a determination that the variance is the minimum necessary, considering
the flood hazard, to afford relief.
4. Variances shall only be issued upon:
a. A showing of good and sufficient cause;
b. A determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship to the applicant;
c. A determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional
threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisances, cause fraud on or victimization of
the public, or conflict with existing local laws or ordinances.
d. For the repair, rehabilitation, or restoration of historic structures upon a determination that the proposed
repair or rehabilitation will not preclude the structure’s continued designation as a historic structure and
the variance is the minimum necessary to preserve the historic character and design of the structure.
e. Upon a showing that the use cannot perform its intended purpose unless it is located or carried out in
close proximity to water. This includes only facilities defined in Section 2.0 {or the numbering system
used by the community} of this ordinance in the definition of “Functionally Dependent Use.”
5. Variances as interpreted in the National Flood Insurance Program are based on the general zoning law
principle that they pertain to a physical piece of property; they are not personal in nature and do not pertain to
the structure, its inhabitants, economic or financial circumstances. They primarily address small lots in densely
populated residential neighborhoods. As such, variances from flood elevations should be quite rare.
6. Variances may be issued for nonresidential buildings in very limited circumstances to allow a lesser degree
of floodproofing than watertight or dry-floodproofing, where it can be determined that such action will have
low damage potential, complies with all other variance criteria except subsection (B)(1) of this section, and
otherwise complies with EWMC 15.44.450, 15.44.470 and 15.44.480.
67. Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be given written notice that:
a. The issuance of a variance to construct a structure below the BFE will result in increased premium
rates for flood insurance up to amounts as high as $25 for $100 of insurance coverage, and
Exhibit A
03-07-23 City Council Meeting Agenda Packet
Page 58 of 91
b. Such construction below the BFE increases risk to life and property. t the permitted structure will be
built with its lowest floor below the base flood elevation and that the cost of flood insurance will be commensurate
with the increased risk.
C. Application Procedure.
1. Any person holding an equitable interest in any tract of land affected by this chapter may apply for a
variance. Decisions of the floodplain administrator in the enforcement of this chapter may also be appealed by
the same method by any aggrieved party.
2. Application for a variance or appeal of an administrative determination shall be processed pursuant to the
requirements of this chapter, Chapter 17.88 EWMC and EWMC Title 19 as the same now exist or may be
hereafter amended. (Ord. 05-04 § 1, 2005; Ord. 280 §§ 4.4-1, 4.4-2, 4.4-3, 1979. Formerly 15.44.340,
15.44.350 and 15.44.360)
D. Additional Requirements for the Issuance of a Variance.
1. The floodplain administrator shall maintain a record of all variances, including justification for their
issuance.
2. The Floodplain Administrator shall condition the variance as needed to ensure that the requirements and
criteria of this chapter are met.
Article V. Provisions for Flood Hazard Reduction
15.44.550440 General standards.
In all areas of special flood hazards, the following standards are required. (Ord. 05-04 § 1, 2005; Ord. 280 § 5.1,
1979. Formerly 15.44.370)
15.44.560450 Anchoring.
A. All new construction and substantial improvements shall be anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral
movement of the structure resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads including the effects of buoyancy..
B. All manufactured homes and mobile homes shall be anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement,
and shall be installed using methods and practices that minimize flood damage. Anchoring methods may include,
but are not limited to, use of over-the-top or frame ties to ground anchors. For more detailed information, refer to
guidebook, FEMA-85, “Protecting Manufactured Homes from Floods and other Hazards.Manufactured Home
Installation in Flood Hazard Areas.” (Ord. 05-04 § 1, 2005; Ord. 421 § 5, 1987; Ord. 280 § 5.1-1, 1979. Formerly
15.44.380)

waters into the systems and discharges from the systems into flood waters;
D. On-site waste disposal systems shall be located to avoid impairment to them or contamination from them during
flooding. (Ord. 05-04 § 1, 2005; Ord. 280 § 5.1-3, 1979. Formerly 15.44.400)
15.44.590480 Subdivision proposals.
A. All subdivision proposals shall be consistent with the need to minimize flood damage;
B. All subdivision proposals shall have public utilities and facilities, such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water
systems located and constructed to minimize or eliminate flood damage;
C. All subdivision proposals shall have adequate drainage provided to reduce exposure to flood damage;
D. Where base flood elevation data has not been provided or is not available from another authoritative source, it
shall be generated for subdivision proposals and other proposed developments which contain at least 50 lots or five
acres (whichever is less). (Ord. 05-04 § 1, 2005; Ord. 421 § 7, 1987; Ord. 280 § 5.1-4, 1979. Formerly 15.44.410)
15.44.6005490 Review of building permits.
Where elevation data is not available either through the Flood Insurance Study, FIRM, or from another authoritative
source (EWMC 15.44.420(B)), applications for floodplain development building permits shall be reviewed to assure
that proposed construction will be reasonably safe from flooding. The test of reasonableness is a local judgment and
includes use of historical data, high water marks, photographs of past flooding, etc., where available. Failure to
elevate at least two feet above the highest adjacent grade in these zones may result in higher insurance rates. (Ord.
05-04 § 1, 2005; Ord. 421 § 8, 1987; Ord. 180 § 5.1-5, 1979. Formerly 15.44.420)
15.44.610500 Specific standards.
In all areas of special flood hazards where base flood elevation data has been provided as set forth in EWMC
15.44.350, Basis for establishing the areas of special flood hazard, or EWMC 15.44.420(B), Use of Other Base
Flood Data. FEMA Technical Bulletin 11-01 including all of its provisions may be utilized to allow crawlspace
construction for buildings located in the special flood hazard areas; however, use of this provision can result in a 20
percent increase in flood insurance premiums. The provisions in the remaining sections of this article are required.
(Ord. 05-04 § 1, 2005; Ord. 280 § 5.2, 1979. Formerly 15.44.430)
15.44.620510 Residential construction.
A. In A zoned areas where the BFE has been determined, or can be reasonably obtained, nNew construction and
substantial improvement of any residential structure shall have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated one
foot or more above the base flood elevation (BFE). Mechanical equipment and utilities shall be waterproof or
elevated least one foot above the BFE.
B. New construction and substantial improvement of any residential structure in an Unnumbered A zone for which a
BFE is not available and cannot be reasonably obtained shall be reasonably safe from flooding, but in all cases the
lowest floor shall be at least two feet above the Highest Adjacent Grade.
CB. Fully enclosed areas below the lowest floor that are subject to flooding are prohibited, or shall be designed to
automatically equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls by allowing for the entry and exit of floodwaters.
Designs for meeting this requirement must either be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect or
must meet or exceed the following minimum criteria:
1. A minimum of two openings having a total net area of not less than one square inch for every square foot of
enclosed area subject to flooding shall be provided.
2. The bottom of all openings shall be no higher than one foot above grade.

permit the automatic entry and exit of floodwaters.
Exhibit A
03-07-23 City Council Meeting Agenda Packet
Page 60 of 91
DC. Crawlspaces are commonly used as a method of elevating buildings in SFHAs above the BFE. General NFIP
requirements that apply to all crawlspaces that have enclosed areas or floors below the BFE include the following:
1. The building must be designed and adequately anchored to resist flotation, collapse, and lateral movement of
the structure resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads, including the effects of buoyancy. Hydrostatic
loads and the effects of buoyancy can usually be addressed through the required openings discussed below.
Because of hydrostatic loads, crawlspace construction is not recommended in areas with flood velocities greater
than five feet per second unless the design is reviewed by a qualified design professional, such as a registered
architect or professional engineer.
2. The crawlspace is an enclosed area below the BFE and, as such, must have openings that equalize
hydrostatic pressures by allowing for the automatic entry and exit of floodwaters. The bottom of each flood
vent opening can be no more than one foot above the lowest adjacent exterior grade. (For guidance on flood
openings, see Technical Bulletin 1-93, Openings in Foundation Walls.)
3. Portions of the building below the BFE must be constructed with materials resistant to flood damage. This
includes not only the foundation walls of the crawlspace used to elevate the building, but also any joists,
insulation, or other materials that extend below the BFE. The recommended construction practice is to elevate
the bottom of joists and all insulation above the BFE.
ED. Any building utility systems within the crawlspace must be elevated above the BFE or designed so that
floodwaters cannot enter or accumulate within the system components during flood conditions. Ductwork in
particular must either be placed above the BFE or sealed from floodwaters.
FE. In addition to the above requirements the following provisions apply to below-grade crawlspaces:
1. The interior grade of a crawlspace below the BFE must not be more than two feet below the lowest adjacent
exterior grade (LAG).
2. The height of the below-grade crawlspace, measured from the interior grade of the crawlspace to the top of
the crawlspace foundation wall, must not exceed four feet at any point.
3. There must be an adequate drainage system that removes floodwaters from the interior area of the
crawlspace. The enclosed area should be drained within a reasonable time after a flood event. Possible options
include natural drainage through porous, well-drained soils and drainage systems such as perforated pipes,
drainage tiles, or gravel or crushed stone drainage by gravity of mechanical means.
4. The velocity of floodwaters at the site should not exceed five feet per second for any crawlspace.
5. Below-grade crawlspace construction in accordance with the requirements listed above and FEMA Technical
Bulletin 11-01 will not be considered basements. (Ord. 05-04 § 1, 2005; Ord. 421 § 8, 1987; Ord. 280 § 5.2-1,
1979. Formerly 15.44.440)
15.44.630520 Nonresidential construction.
New construction and substantial improvement of any commercial, industrial or other nonresidential structure shall
either have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated one foot or more above the base flood elevation; or,
together with attendant utility and sanitary facilities,meet the requirements of subsection 1 or 2, below.
1. New construction and substantial improvement of any commercial, industrial or other nonresidential
structure shall meet all of the following requirements:
a. In A zoned areas where the BFE has been determined or can be reasonably obtained: New
construction and substantial improvement of any commercial, industrial, or other nonresidential
structure shall have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated one foot or more above the BFE,
or elevated as required by ASCE 24, whichever is greater. Mechanical equipment and utilities shall
be waterproofed or elevated least one foot above the BFE, or as required by ASCE 24, whichever is
greater.
b. If located in an Unnumbered A zone for which a BFE is not available and cannot be reasonably
Exhibit A
03-07-23 City Council Meeting Agenda Packet
Page 61 of 91
obtained, the structure shall be reasonably safe from flooding, but in all cases the lowest floor shall
be at least two feet above the Highest Adjacent Grade.
c. Fully enclosed areas below the lowest floor that are subject to flooding are prohibited, or shall be
designed to automatically equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls by allowing for the
entry and exit of floodwaters. Designs for meeting this requirement must either be certified by a
registered professional engineer or architect or must meet or exceed the following minimum criteria:
i. Have a minimum of two openings with a total net area of not less than one square inch for every
square foot of enclosed area subject to flooding.
ii.sThe bottom of all openings shall be no higher than one foot above grade.
iii. Openings may be equipped with screens, louvers, valves, or other coverings or devices provided
that they permit the automatic entry and exit of floodwater.
iv. A garage attached to a residential structure, constructed with the garage floor slab below the
BFE, must be designed to allow for the automatic entry and exit of floodwaters.
hAlternatively, a registered engineer or architect may design and certify engineered openings.
2. If the requirements of subsection 1 are not met, then new construction and substantial improvement of any
commercial, industrial or other nonresidential structure shall meet all of the following requirements:
a. Be dry flood proofed so that below one foot or more above the base flood level the structure is
watertight with walls substantially impermeable to the passage of water or dry flood proofed to the
elevation required by ASCE 24, whichever is greater;
b. Have structural components capable of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and effects of
buoyancy;
c. Be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect that the design and methods of
construction are in accordance with accepted standards of practice for meeting provisions of this
subsection based on their development and/or review of the structural design, specifications and
plans. Such certifications shall be provided to the official as set forth in Section 4.3-3(2);
d. Nonresidential structures that are elevated, not flood proofed, must meet the same standards for
space below the lowest floor as described in 5.2-1(2);
(Applicants who are flood proofing nonresidential buildings shall be notified that flood insurance premiums will be
based on rates that are one foot below the flood proofed level (e.g. a building flood proofed to the base flood level
will be rated as one foot below). Flood proofing the building an additional foot will reduce insurance premiums.)
all:
A. Be floodproofed so that below one foot or more above the base flood level the structure is watertight with walls
substantially impermeable to the passage of water;
B. Have structural components capable of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and effects of buoyancy;
C. Be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect that the design and methods of construction are in
accordance with accepted standards of practice for meeting provisions of this section based on their development
and/or review of the structural design, specifications and plans. Such certifications shall be provided to the official

15.44.640530 Manufactured homes.
All manufactured homes and mobile homes in the floodplain to be placed or substantially improved on sites shall be
elevated on a permanent foundation such that the lowest floor of the manufactured home is elevated one foot or
more above the base flood elevation and be securely anchored to an adequately anchored foundation system to resist
flotation, collapse and lateral movement. (Ord. 05-04 § 1, 2005; Ord. 421 § 8, 1987; Ord. 280 § 5.2-3, 1979.
Formerly 15.44.460)
15.44.650540 Recreational vehicles.
Recreational vehicles placed on sites are required to either:
A. Be on the site for fewer than 180 consecutive days; or
Exhibit A
03-07-23 City Council Meeting Agenda Packet
Page 62 of 91
B. Be fully licensed and ready for highway use, on wheels or jacking system, attached to the site only by quick
disconnect type utilities and security devices, and have no permanently attached additions; or
C. Meet the requirements of EWMC 15.44.530 and the elevation and anchoring requirements for manufactured
homes. (Ord. 05-04 § 1, 2005)
15.44.670550 AE and A1-30 zones with base flood elevations but no floodways.
In areas with base flood elevations (but a regulatory floodway has not been designated), no new construction,
substantial improvements, or other development (including fill) shall be permitted within Zones A1-30 and AE on
the community’s FIRM, unless it is demonstrated that the cumulative effect of the proposed development, when
combined with all other existing and anticipated development, will not increase the water surface elevation of the
base flood more than one foot at any point within the community. (Ord. 05-04 § 1, 2005)
15.44.680560 Floodways.
Located within areas of special flood hazard established in EWMC 15.44.350 are areas designated as floodways.
Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to the velocity of floodwaters that can carry debris and
increase erosion potential, the following provisions apply:
A. Prohibit encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements, and other development
unless certification by a registered professional engineer is provided demonstrating through hydrologic and
hydraulic analyses performed in accordance with standard engineering practice that the proposed encroachment
would not result in any increase in flood levels during the occurrence of the base flood discharge.
B. Construction or reconstruction of residential structures is prohibited within designated floodways, except for (1)
repairs, reconstruction, or improvements to a structure which do not increase the ground floor area; and (2) repairs,
reconstruction or improvements to a structure, the cost of which does not exceed 50 percent of the market value of
the structure either (a) before the repair or reconstruction is started, or (b) if the structure has been damaged, and is
being restored, before the damage occurred. Any project for improvement of a structure to correct existing violations
of state or local health, sanitary, or safety code specifications which have been identified by the local code
enforcement official and which are the minimum necessary to assure safe living conditions, or to structures
identified as historic places, may be excluded in the 50 percent.
C. If subsection A of this section is satisfied, all new construction and substantial improvements shall comply with
all applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of Article V of this chapter, Provisions for Flood Hazard Reduction.
(Ord. 05-04 § 1, 2005; Ord. 421 § 9, 1987; Ord. 280 § 5.3, 1979. Formerly 15.44.470)
15.44.690570 Critical facility.
Construction of new critical facilities shall be, to the extent possible, located outside the limits of the special flood
hazard area (SFHA) (100-year floodplain). Construction of new critical facilities shall be permissible within the
SFHA if no feasible alternative site is available. Critical facilities constructed within the SFHA shall have the lowest
floor elevated three feet above the BFE or to the height of the 500-year flood, whichever is higher. Access to and
from the critical facility should also be protected to the height utilized above. Floodproofing and sealing measures
must be taken to ensure that toxic substances will not be displaced by or released into floodwaters. Access routes
elevated to or above the level of the base flood elevation shall be provided to all critical facilities to the extent
possible. (Ord. 05-04 § 1, 2005)

STAFF REPORT
TO: East Wenatchee Planning Commission
FROM: East Wenatchee Community Development Department
DATE: February 10, 2023
SUBJECT: ZTA 2022-01 Amending EWMC 15.44 Flood Hazard Areas
I. GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant: City of East Wenatchee
271 9th Street NE
East Wenatchee, WA 98802
Project Planner: Curtis M Lillquist, AICP
509-884-5396
A. Proposal: To amend EWMC 15.44 Flood Hazard Areas to bring the chapter into
compliance with the FEMA Model Ordinance for Washington State.
B. Location: The proposal will be applicable to properties in the City of East
Wenatchee that are located within flood hazard areas.
II. PROPOSAL ANALYSIS
A. Background: On August 30, 2022 Federal Emergency Management Agency
staff performed a Community Assistance Contact (CAC) to review and discuss
the City’s participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). A CAC
is a telephone call or brief visit to a community to establish or re-establish contact
with a community and determine if any problems or issues exist and to offer
community assistance if needed. During this visit, FEMA staff determined that
our local flood hazard ordinance requires revisions in order to be compliant with
the current FEMA Model Ordinance for Washington State. A copy of the exit
email is included as Attachment A.
B. Comprehensive Plan: The Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan
(2021) is the guidance document for land uses within the community and urban
area. The following goals and policies are applicable to the proposal under
consideration:
Chapter 9 Critical Areas Element
Introduction
Best available science will be used when developing policies and
development regulations to protect the functions and values of critical
areas. Special consideration will be given for conservation or protection

measures necessary to preserve or enhance anadromous fisheries. The
inclusion of the best available science in the development of critical area
policies and regulations is especially important to salmon recovery efforts,
and to other decision-making affecting threatened or endangered species.
Frequently Flooded Areas Goals & Policies
Goal 4: Protect the frequently flooded areas of Douglas County that
are known to be critical parts of the natural drainage system by
limiting and controlling potential alterations and/or obstructions to
those areas.
Policy CA-35: Map flood hazard areas that are currently part of the
Federal Emergency Management Act or Flood Insurance Rate Maps or
depicted by other historical evidence, as appropriate. Regulated areas of
flood hazard by maintaining compliance with the FEMA Model Ordinance
required by FEMA and the State of Washington to be adopted by Douglas
County.
The proposed amendment will update the City’s flood hazard code to be
consistent with the FEMA Model Ordinance for Washington State. The proposed
amendment is consistent with and implements the goals and policies in the
Comprehensive Plan.
C. State Review: RCW 36.70A.106 requires local agencies to submit a notice of
intent to the Washington State Department of Commerce (Commerce) for all
proposed amendments to comprehensive plans and development regulations.
The proposal was submitted to Commerce on December 9, 2022. The 60-day
notice period ended on February 10, 2023. No comments from state agencies
were received.
D. Environmental Review: An Environmental Checklist was prepared on
December 9, 2022. A threshold determination and environmental review
pursuant to RCW 43.21C the State Environmental Policy Act was completed, and
a Determination of Non-significance was issued on December 9, 2022 with a
comment period ending on February 10, 2023. No comments were submitted
indicating that the proposal would have a detrimental impact on the environment.
SEPA documents have been included as Exhibit B.
E. Proposal Analysis
Frequently flooded areas are one of the critical areas defined by the Growth
Management Act. The City uses the term “Flood Hazard Areas”.
RCW 36.70A.030 Definitions
(6) “Critical Areas” include the following areas and ecosystems:
(a) Wetlands; (b) areas with a critical recharging effect on aquifers
used for potable water; (c) fish and wildlife habitat conservation
areas; (d) frequently flooded areas; and (e) geologically
hazardous areas. “Fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas”
does not include such artificial features or constructs as irrigation

delivery systems, irrigation infrastructure, irrigation canals, or
drainage ditches that lie within the boundaries of and are
maintained by a port district or an irrigation district or company.
Critical area standards are classified as a development regulation. The Planning
Commission is tasked with reviewing all proposed amendments to development
regulations and forwarding to the city council a recommendation whether the
proposal should be approved or denied.
RCW 36.70A.172 Critical Areas – Designation and protection –
Best available science to be used.
(1) In designating and protecting critical areas under this chapter,
counties and cities shall include best available science in
developing policies and development regulations to protect the
functions and values of critical areas. In addition, counties and
cities shall give special consideration to conservation or protection
measures necessary to preserve or enhance anadromous
fisheries.
Best Available Science for frequently flood areas within the city involves two
components. The first component is locating frequently flooded areas which is
done with the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps. The second component is
regulating activities within those areas. This is accomplished with the National
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance
Washington Model (Revised 12/09/2019) provided by FEMA.
EWMC 15.44 was last updated in 2005. That update was a result of the last
FEMA Community Assistance Visit (CAV) which occurred in November 2004.
During our recent CAC visit, FEMA staff has provided required amendments to
our flood hazard code in order to be consistent with the Washington State Model
Ordinance. The proposed code amendments are included as Exhibit C.
Amending the City Code to match the model ordinance will bring it into
conformance with best available science as required by the Growth Management
Act.
III. SUMMARY
Planning Staff Comments:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed amendments to the East Wenatchee
Municipal Code and offers Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law in Section IV of this
report for consideration by the Planning Commission. The findings and conclusions
may be modified as appropriate to support the decision on the proposal.

Greetings Curtis,
Thanks again for meeting with me for the Community Assistance Contact (CAC). As discussed, your flood hazard area
ordinance requires updating. I have reviewed the ordinance and there are numerous items that need to be updated to
ensure that it complies with the minimum NFIP and Washington State standards.
I have attached a marked up copy of the ordinance and a copy of the model Washington State ordinance for your
reference. For ease in updating your ordinance, I have also attached a clean copy of the updated ordinance. Please have
the ordinance updated by February 28, 2023.
We ask that you have Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in place for floodplain permitting and Substantial
Damage/Substantial Improvement review. I have attached some examples. Please send me a copy of your SOPs once
they are developed.
I mentioned that there is a State Floodplain representative for your area. Her name is Sandra Floyd and if you ever need
any assistance, other than with the CAC, she can be contacted at sflo461@ecy.wa.gov, (509) 571‐5679.
Once you have all of your staff in place let me know and we can schedule a time for some floodplain and NFIP training.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Enjoy the long weekend!

1. Department Updates
Staffing Changes:
The following staff are new additions to the Public Works Department in 2022:
• Christian Hackworth – Mechanic
• Calvin Musser – Maintenance Worker
• Angela Bishop – Engineering Technician
In addition, the Public Works Department designated Mac Albert as the City’s in house
inspector for future Public Works Project. This role will be the lead inspector on small
Capital Projects and on private developments that will improve City ROW. This role
will also support City’s consultants on larger projects. In addition to increasing in house
knowledge of construction methods, this will also reduce the amount of time consultants
will need to spend inspecting City projects. Typical hourly rates for a contracted
inspectors range from $120 to $200 per hour, depending on qualifications .
New Equipment:
Following “snowmageddon” in early 2022 it became clear that the City’s previous 1984
Loader had reached the end of its useful life. The department purchased a new loader
that was better equipped to handle the work done by the City. Since purchasing the new
loader, the time needed to remove snow from the median of Grant Road and Valley
Mall Parkway has reduced by over 50% during a normal event. This allows the Street
Department to remove snow from residential cul-de-sacs much faster than in prior years.
Department staff have also noted the new loader has a higher maximum loading height,
which speeds up snow/salt loading process, and is safer to operate.

3. 2022 Residential Overlay
Similar to previous years, the 2022 Transportation Benefit District funded residential
overlay program was coordinated with East Wenatchee Water District’s (District) 2022
capital project construction. This cooperation reduced City expenditures due to the
District administering and managing the project.
Status: Completed
- This year’s project overlayed Terrace Court NE, Terrace Drive, 14th Street NE,
and Capri Drive;
- The project came in under budget, and under the initial contract authorization
amount. The final cost was $204,724, which was under the contract amount by
$24,029.
- The TBD will contribute to larger capital projects in 2023 but will likely resume
working with the District in 2024.
4. Pavement Management Program
Due to staffing shortages this plan was temporarily paused. Public Works plans to
continue development of a plan this summer and will present funding scenarios to
Council at a workshop in the Fall. The goal of the workshop will be to identify Council
priorities for the City’s preservation program.
Staff have continued to collect pavement data through a consultant to keep the City’s
pavement management software up to date. This allows staff to make informed
decisions when deciding which streets to spend preservations dollars on, or pursue grant
funding for.
Status: Development

7. 5th Street NE Safe Routes to School Projects
In June 2019, the City was awarded two Safe Routes to School grants (Sterling
Intermediate and Kenroy Elementary), totaling $3,936,466 in federal grant funds.
Following cost escalations due to the changing economy between 2019 and 2023, the
City received approximately $3,300,000 in supplemental funds. This project will
enhance 5th Street NE from N Grover Place to N James Ave and N Jonathan Ave to
Kentucky Avenue. Proposed improvements include curb, gutter, sidewalk, storm sewer
system, enhanced pedestrian crossings, intersection improvements, and street
illumination. The Water District will also be upsizing a water main as a part of this
project.
Status: Pre-Bid
- The City is currently in the final stages of review with WSDOT prior to these
projects going out to bid.
- These projects are estimated to cost approximately $7,000,000 to construct, with
an additional $1,000,000 for the Water District Improvements .

8. Hamilton Street Rebuild
The City receives annual funding from the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG). CDBG funds can be used on qualifying streets for infrastructure
improvements. This project seeks to rebuild the roadway on Hamilton and Standerfer,
provide a turnaround area at the dead end of Hamilton, install ADA compliant ramps
and sidewalks along Hamilton and Standerfer, and provide illumination along the road.
The City completed the project $18,922 under the contract amount. The final
construction cost was $723,879.
9. 3rd St SE & Rock Island Road Signal
The City of East Wenatchee (City) has documented deficiencies at the intersection of
3rd Street SE and Rock Island Road. The Rock Island Road legs are stop controlled, and
currently experience excessive delays. Additionally , the current intersection does not
have designated crosswalks, and is not ADA compliant. The City has also partnered
with Link Transit to incorporate park and ride upgrades into the project.
Perteet Engineering completed the design and will be providing services during
construction. Selland Construction was the lowest bidder and executed a construction
contract in the amount of $677,251 for the City’s improvements. Selland anticipates
beginning construction in June, following the completion of the City’s project at 9th
Street NE & Valley Mall Parkway. The project is currently under budget.

10. City Hall Campus Improvements
The City has secured a bond to begin a phased approach to make improvements to City
owned facilities. Improvements include constructing a new Public Works facility and
evaluating the East Wenatchee Police Departments current and future space needs. ARC
Architects were selected to perform this first phase of work. Construction of the Public
Works Facility began in summer of 2022, with Halme Builders submitting the low bid
of $4,995,500.
Status: Construction
- The exterior of the building in nearing completion. Remaining work includes
installation of bay doors, completing underground utilities, and finish work
(flooring, drywall, paint, electrical, HVAC, etc) of the interior.
- The City and ARC have identified opportunities for efficiencies in the building’s
construction. This has resulted in the project currently running approximately
$60,000 under budget.
- Anticipated completion date is late May 2023.

11. 50 Simon Street Remodel
Following the results of the Police Departments Space Needs Assessment completed by
ARC architects, the City began considering moving the department off of the current
City Hall Campus. The building at 50 Simon Street came up for sale and was
determined to fit the current and future needs of the Police Department. A remodel was
required to convert this building from an office building to a functional police
department. The City budgeted $1,000,000 for an initial remodel to meet the
departments minimum needs and prepare the upstairs for potential tenants. Forte
Architects were selected to provide design services, and services during construction for
the remodel. Apollo Inc were selected for construction with a low bid of $506,400,
including all bid alternatives the City selected.
The remodel went very well with minimal change orders. Most change orders were due
to the buildings aging HVAC system that resulted in 3 separate change orders totaling
$8,182. The remaining $8,100 of CO’s went toward minor changes that made the
building much more usable. This included adding a locking storage closet, and adding
power in areas that did not have any nearby.
Bills and costs associated with this project are still coming in , but it is looking like it
will be extremely close to it’s initial $1,000,000 budget. It should be noted that the City
accomplished far more with this budget than our initial estimates indicated. A large
reason for this is the Police Department found lightly used office furniture available at
an auction. The City purchased the furniture for $26,000 and spent approximately
$12,500 for storage and installation. A rough estimate from the installers valued the
furniture if purchased new at $250,000.

12. Grant Road Emergency Repair
Following WSDOTs discovery of a void underneath the SR-28 bypass west of Fred
Meyer, they notified the City that they would be closing the bypass for emergency
repairs. While WSDOT was preforming camera inspections of their line, the City
partnered with them to inspect a nearby City owned line that the City had been
monitoring. With WSDOTs more sophisticated camera additional deficiencies were
identified in the City’s line that initiated an emergency contract.
The City was able to partner with WSDOT to complete its repa ir while the bypass was
closed. This prevented further disruptions to the traveling public and saved a significant
amount of money in traffic control. The repairs included replacement of a manhole that
was badly damaged, and replacement of a pipe. The final cost was $189,806.47.
13. Grant Road Concrete Intersection and Overlay
In February the City applied to the National Highway System (NHS) Asset
Management Program asking for $1,303,000 to construct a concrete intersection at
Eastmont Ave and Grant Road, and $1,543,000 to overlay Grant Road from N Georgia
Ave to N Kentucky Ave, and upgrade curb ramps. The City was notified on June 30 that
it received both Grants, which have no local match tied to the funds. After discovering
several ADA ramps on Grant Road were not compliant, an additional $755,000 was
received.
The City also applied for and received an additional $785,000 in funding to overlay
Grant Road from Valley Mall Parkway to N Georgia Ave from the National Highway
Freight Program.
12 of 14
03-07-23 City Council Meeting Agenda Packet
Page 81 of 91
The current schedule for these projects is to construct the concrete intersection at Grant
& Eastmont and overlay Grant Road from Valley Mall Parkway to N Georgia Ave in
Fall 2023. These projects will be combined with a water quality project that received
funding from the Department of Ecology. In Spring 2024 the City will overlay the rest
of Grant Road from N Georgia Ave to N Kentucky Ave .
14. Complete Streets
The City received $300,000 from the Transportation Improvement Board’s Complete
Streets program to fill sidewalk gaps on N Grover Ave between 10 th St NE and 11th St
NE and construct 2 Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) on 15th Street NE at
Eastmont and N Baker Ave. Staff are currently reviewing a task authorization from RH2
for design work. This project is expected to be completed in summer 2023.
15. Rock Island Road Overlay
The City received $446,250 from the Transportation Improvement Board ’s Arterial
Preservation Program to overlay Rock Island Road from Grant Road to McGee St SE.
This project is currently under design and is incorporating a Water District Steel Main
replacement into the project. This will save money for both agencies by creating savings
through economies of scale, and reduced administrative costs. The total cost for the
City’s portion of this project is $525,000.

East Wenatchee
Council Agenda Bill
To: Mayor Crawford and Council
From/Presenter: Garren Melton, Public Works Manager
Subject: Resolution 2023-15 Declaring certain vehicles and equipment as surplus to
the needs of the City
Date: March 7, 2023
I. Summary Title:
A Resolution of the City of East Wenatchee, Washington declaring certain property
owned by the City as surplus to the needs of the City.
II. Background/History:
The City’s fleet management plan calls for replacing vehicles after a set period. This
limits maintenance costs, and ensures the City has reliable vehicles. This is
particularly important in the Police Department, where the reliability of their
vehicles is crucial to providing a consistent, rapid response to calls. Vehicles that are
scheduled to be rotated out include:
1. 2010 Ford Expedition, 4WD, 74,591 Miles, VIN 1FMJU1G5XAEB49340
2. 2014 Ford Explorer, AWD, 79,415 Miles, VIN 1FM5K8AR9EGC49984
Once declared surplus the City will put these vehicles up for auction. Revenue from
