CITY OF MOSCOW
ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE
Monday, June 13, 2005
3:00 p.m.
CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS
206 East 3rd Street, Second Floor
1. Approval of Minutes of May 23, 2005 - Stephanie Kalasz
2. Receipt of P&Z Recommendation on Gaudette Addition Preliminary Plat
- Andrew Ackerman
Steven Gaudette is applying for a preliminary plat of his
approximately 1.29 acre lot at 1039 N Polk Extension. The lot was
recently rezoned from R-1 to R-3. The Planning and Zoning Commission
conducted a public hearing and recommended approval of this application
on Wednesday, May 25, 2005. The local Land Use Planning Act requires
that the City Council, as the governing body, "receive" the Planning and
Zoning Commission's recommendation prior to publication of a hearing
notice in front of the Council. This CCSR and report will allow
publication of the hearing notice for the hearing which will be
scheduled for July 5, 2005.
ACTION: Receive Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation.
3. Receipt of P&Z Recommendation on 425 Veatch Rezone - Joel Plaskon
Donald and Linda Bosse filed a rezone application to rezone 425
Veatch Street from Industrial to R-4. The Planning and Zoning Commission
conducted a public hearing recommended approval of the rezone on May 25,
2005. The local Land Use Planning Act requires that the Council receive
the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission prior to
publication of a notice of Council hearing on a rezone. This report
would enable staff to notice a public hearing on this matter which staff
would like schedule for the July 5 Council meeting.
ACTION: Receive Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation.
4. Large Scale Retail Development Regulations and Permit Process -
Joel Plaskon
With the WalMart Super Center proposal in Pullman and rumors about large
scale retail development inquiries for Moscow, it was decided prudent to
begin discussing standards and process requirements regulating large
scale retail developments. The Moscow Zoning Code currently does not
contain maximum floor area ratio (FAR) requirements, lot coverage
requirements, or maximum building square footage limits. With the
national trend toward massive retail warehouse-type stores and Moscow's
growth and economic climate, it is inevitable for Moscow to see such a
development proposal in the near future. These types of developments,
because of their large scale, have traffic, economic, and visual impacts
which may be deserving of their own zoning criteria.
ACTION: Review information and recommend that Council direct Planning
and Zoning Commission and staff as deemed appropriate.
5. Draft Ordinance for Schools in Non-Residential Zoning District -
Joel Plaskon
The Community Development Department has recently been responding to a
series of formal complaints regarding schools in commercial zones. The
complaints have generally been challenging the legality of various
schools in various locations and commercial zoning districts. To date,
the Zoning Administrator determination on one such complaint has been
appealed to the Board of Adjustment whose determination was then
appealed to the City Council. Another complaint resulted in a Zoning
Administrator determination that a school is not allowed in its current
location. As a result of these complaints, staff is forwarding a
preliminary draft ordinance for consideration. The preliminary draft
ordinance contemplates allowing schools, commercial schools, and
educational institutions by Conditional Use Permit in all commercial
zoning districts except the RTO Zoning District (not allowed, at all)
and allowing commercial schools by Conditional Use Permit in the
Industrial Zoning District. It also includes language describing places
of worship and religious practice consistent between zoning districts,
without changing how such facilities are allowed, and relatively minor
changes to the definition of the term "institution, educational."
ACTION: Review draft Ordinance and recommend that Council direct
Planning and Zoning Commission and staff as deemed appropriate.
6. Disposition of Wooden Sculpture in Friendship Square - Roger
Blanchard
As part of the renovation of Friendship Square, the large wooden
sculpture created and donated to the City by the late George Driskell
was removed from the Square and is now in storage at the City Shop.
During meetings of the Downtown Revitalization Committee, suggestions
were made about what to do with the sculpture; the general consensus was
to place it in one of the other city parks. The sculpture has begun to
deteriorate and has negligible monetary value. When the Driskell family
heard that the sculpture was being removed from the Square, they
contacted City staff and inquired whether the City might be interested
in returning it to them as a memento of their late father and husband.
The family discussed it among themselves and has written two letters to
the City requesting that the sculpture be returned to them.
ACTION: Recommend declaring the sculpture surplus and allow the
family to move it to their property or direct staff to move it or take
other action as deemed appropriate.
7. Clear Wire Wireless Communication Co-Location Agreements - Bill
Belknap
The City has been negotiating with Clearwire Corporation, a wireless
data provider, to locate wireless communications equipment on the Rotary
Park and Residence Street water reservoirs in accordance with the City's
co-location policy. Clearwire proposes to mount four panel antennas on
each reservoir in addition to limited ancillary facilites on the ground
at each location. The lease agreement is for an intial five year period
with the option to renew for upto four additional five year terms. The
lease agreement is the City's standard co-location agreement and has
been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney. The building plans are
under final review by the Building and Public Works Staff for compliance
with City Code requirements. According to the lease agreement Clearwire
will pay an annual monetary fee of $8,190.00 for each location which
will increase three percent (3%) annually.
ACTION: Recommend approval of the agreements or take such other
action deemed appropriate.
8. Request for Funds for the Virtues Project - Dan Weaver
The City of Moscow Human Rights Commission requests funding to support
the Virtues Project. Current plans include having a working team
established by June 15th that includes community mentors and partners
from within the community. Funding would pay for training for the
mentors, material and other expenses associated with the Virtues
Project.
ACTION: Recommend authorizing funding for the Virtues Project or
take such other action deemed appropriate.
REPORTS:
Animal Control Task Force
NOTICE: Individuals attending the meeting who require special
