The purpose of the hearing was for the Council to review the record and consider the pertinent
facts relating to this issue. No new public testimony was allowed.
City Clerk Palacios provided the following review of the record:
• The City received a residential subdivision application submitted TAC Land, LLC., for
preliminary plat approval of a 111-lot residential subdivision to be known as Pappy’s
Landing. The proposed preliminary plat was located at 650 Forsell Road between Forsell
Road and West Second Street.
• On September 14, 2021, a public hearing was held before the Hearing Examiner to receive
comments on the proposed preliminary plat. A copy of the Hearing Examiner’s
Recommendation SUB#2021-02 dated September 28, 2021 was presented along with the
Grandview Hearing Examiner Public Hearing Packet dated September 14, 2021.
• Following the closed record public hearing, recommend Council accept the Hearing
Examiner’s conclusions and recommendation that the 111-lot Preliminary Plat of “Pappy’s
Landing” to be located on Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 230922-21005, 230922-21006 and
230922-21009 and to have its main access from 650 Forsell Road which is described in
the application, this recommendation and other related documents in the record of this
matter be approved, subject to compliance with conditions consistent with the
recommended Planning Staff conditions outlined in Recommendation SUB#2021-02.
• Further recommend Council approve Resolution No. 2021-43 approving the Pappy’s
Landing 111-Lot Residential Preliminary Plat.
Council requested clarification of the record as follows (transcribed verbatim):
Everett – I have two clarifications. When you get this short plat in the, in the packet, (inaudible)
and then try to go through it sometimes it’s a little difficult to look at the short plat. Question one
is I believe, but I’d like confirmation, that the all the properties are serviced by a right-of-way for
irrigation. I assume maybe the, Mr. Watson, could confirm if that is accurate or not. I just couldn’t
tell from looking at the map for sure.
Mendoza – Would, would that be a question for Mr. Watson, who would like to.
Everett – I don’t know who has the question for, I just.
Arteaga – I’ll go ahead and address that. The, the, when the plat is developed, it will include
extending and installing water, sewer, drainage, street lights, irrigation, sidewalks, curb, gutter, it
will be a complete subdivision once it’s done and it will have a pressure irrigation system.
Everett – Okay, cause the map was broken right in two between two different mailings. The other
question I have was and again looking at the map, was there any area set aside for green as we
have required in other prior places, developments, any green areas.
Arteaga – There was no park area designed or set aside on this development proposal.
Everett – Okay thank you.
Mendoza – Any other clarifications from Councilmembers.

Diaz – Madam Mayor.
Mendoza – Yes.
Diaz – I have a couple too. I have one on page two it makes reference for a summary of
recommendation subject to conditions, what are the conditions on.
Rodriguez – What page was that?
Diaz – Page two, second page, or page 28. It goes to the Hearing Examiner recommends that
the Grandview City Council approve this preliminary plat subject to conditions.
Palacios – The conditions are in the Hearing Examiner’s recommendation.
Plant – On page 45 and 46.
Diaz – And my other question was on page 32, it makes reference with something apparently the
soil elevated levels of lead and arsenic and cleanup will be required prior to occupancy.
Palacios – That is a condition that the developer has to do.
Diaz – They have to deal with that.
Palacios – Yes, the developer has to do that.
Plant – To be clear, I don’t think, I think was it says is that that commonly property that’s been
used in orchard production has to, if the testing reveals cleanup is appropriate, it will be
undertaken and I think that’s what this is saying. So it’s not saying there will be cleanup, it’s
saying you need to test the property before you put residences, put people on there basically.
Mendoza – Okay.
Diaz – And then my other question was on page 34 reference to the concurrency test and
requirements of GMC Chapter 14.10 dealing with Transportation Concurrency Management. The
proposed development is not expected to result in traffic volumes on Forsell Road or West Second
Street and I was wondering what kind of testing they did not to, to say that it’s not going to result
in any increase of volume of traffic to those two roads.
Arteaga – If you go to page 36, you’ll see this traffic analysis.
Palacios – Page 36 of the hearing packet.
Arteaga – Yes. The Hearing Examiner’s packet and what we, what I’ve done for a long time, I
had this checklist development and this checklist, this checklist, the City of Grandview has
developed the level of service “C” for our roadway system and you’ll see that it’ll identify a two
lane street, level of service “C” is 8,000 cars a day and talks about the traffic that they would be
adding on to it and it identifies how much traffic is currently under there and it talks what the
remaining capacity is. Well the remaining capacity is 4,256 cars that can still be added to that
Regular Meeting Minutes
October 26, 2021
Page 5
before it even starts diminishing the level of service “C” so because it continues at that level, there
is, there is . . .
Diaz – Is there what you’re referring to Forsell Road?
Arteaga – Forsell Road and it, and it shows there on number 6, it says West Second and Hillcrest,
and West Second is, you know, they’re adding 275 cars so there’s still, there’s still capacity on
that as well and the development will make improvements to Forsell. They will develop a half
road, curb, gutter and sidewalks on the side that faces the property.
Diaz – Yeah. My concern was when schools are letting out kids or in the morning, that road, that
West Second is pretty congested down by the baseball field and, you know, that development is
going to have outlet coming through there.
Arteaga – Okay.
Diaz – I was wondering if that was considered in all the, you mentioned that, and I was thinking,
thinking that traffic and number of cars there, but it would be, there is gonna have to be some kind
of signage to indicate there’s, there’s going to be more traffic obviously on West Second all the
way down to the middle school, down to Harriet Thompson and down to the.
Rodriguez – So he will just have to, you said, one side of the road and that’s just, well this is his
property, it’s just the front of that so the rest of that road will still be narrow and bumpy.
Arteaga – It’ll be, it’ll be just like Grandridge, what the Grandridge Estates has done, they have
widened.
Rodriguez – Yeah, just the one side.
Arteaga – The half of the road on the side of the development. The other side then stays to the
other property.
Diaz – Is that the one attached to the orchard, is that where that’s coming from.
Arteaga – It’ll be.
Rodriguez – Grandridge.
Arteaga – It’ll be from property line to property line of this one. It doesn’t take it all the way to
Puterbaugh. It’ll just bethe property line.
Rodriguez – Just the front of the property.
Arteaga – That borders this property so I’ll have a developed portion and then it will be
undeveloped and undeveloped cause that is the way our code is designed.
Mendoza – Okay. Any other clarification. Okay, so the record generated will be provided by staff.
We have done that. Councilmembers will now consider the record and discuss amongst
themselves the facts of the testimony from the open record hearing.

Everett – Madam Mayor.
Mendoza – Yes.
Everett – Madam Mayor.
Mendoza – Councilmember Everett.
Everett – Yes. Let me say in considering this. I look at item roman numeral 14, page 7, yeah 14
on page 14, criteria required for City Council approval of preliminary plats, it appears I think at
about 40 of our packet and if I go down to the next page, at the top of the next page, it talks about
we believe this preliminary plat makes appropriate provisions for and it lists the number of items
including open space and also it does parks and recreation, it is, if I understand what I can do
correctly and I would be subject to correction by either the, the City Attorney or the Chair, it would
be my intention to when we come to this approval to approve on the condition that we require
green spaces, why, because that is what we’ve done with other developers. I don’t think we can
be uneven about it, either contributions to our parks which is something that has happened or
green spaces and I think, we could, it’s my understanding that is it would be a proper motion to
approve with a condition and I would intend to make that motion when it’s appropriate.
Mendoza – Thank you Councilmember Everett.
Everett – There are no parks so (inaudible).
Souders – He made that a motion.
Mendoza – No he said he’s prepared to make that motion.
Souders – Oh, okay, cause I was going to.
Mendoza – Any further discussion on the.
Souders – I support the idea of green space in a larger development like this and we’ve, you
know, when we’ve put in some low income housing, they’ve put in green space, so I think it’s fair
that we try to be fair across the board.
Mendoza – Any further discussion. Okay. If clarification of the record is authorized. Is there any
clarification of the record? Okay now that.
Lasley – Mayor.
Mendoza – Yes.
Lasley – I’m sorry. I don’t mean to interrupt.
Mendoza – Okay.
Lasley – Do I need to come up front?
Regular Meeting Minutes
October 26, 2021
Page 7
Mendoza – Sure. Please state your name and.
Lasley – Tod Lasley, TAC Land, 12324 North Pittsburgh Street, Spokane, Washington. I’m not
sure that, about what you’re talking with the green space. We have fairly large lots and nobody
has mentioned green space prior to. I think we’ve followed your code as close as we’ve possibly
could so.
Mendoza – So, I will have our City Administrator talk about what Council is stating that they have
had other developers add, you know, either made a contribution to the park or added a section.
Arteaga – Can I refer that to our planner cause that’s a question we have been working through
some of these subdivisions. Jeff can you help with that?
Watson – I sure can. First let me make sure that my voice and volume and tone are legible and
so is this okay?
Mendoza – Yes, sir, we can hear you, thank you.
Watson – I appreciate the, the opportunity to speak to this since it’s something that we’ve talked
about a great deal. RCW 58.17 certainly gives the City Council the ability and the opportunity to
require such additions to and conditions on a preliminary plat. In my assessment and evaluation
of the plat, I did not recommend that open space be part of the conditions of the plat. I did this
for a couple of reasons. Planning is made up of general rules and practices as well as the code
that you have in play at the time of the assessment and analysis. It’s not always black and white.
It’s not always clear cut. Different planners have different philosophies and different frames of
reference as to how they approach the recommendations that they put into the record. I think my
recommendation on the fact that your Parks and Rec Plan identifies that the City of Grandview
has sufficient parks and recreation systems and on the fact that there’s nothing in your
development code that gives us direction to move forward with such a recommendation. It is
within your prevue and welcome the discussion and, and like I say it can certainly be justified
under 58.17, but my recommendation was based on what you have in your Parks Plan and the
lack of any firm reference in your development code and your Comprehensive Plan that indicates
this is a policy, goal, objective or requirement of the City. I hope that clears things up a little bit.
Everett – Can I respond to that Madam Mayor?
Mendoza – Thank you councilman, Mr. Watson, yes, I will turn it over to Councilmember Everett.
Everett – Okay, so here’s what’s happened. If we go out to the development on Grandridge. That
development we entered into requirements or negotiations with those people for both green space
and contribution to our parks system and there may be others. What we haven’t done is revise
our plan, our, our general plan, which we desperately need to it’s about pushing towards 10 years
old, we need to do that, but obviously that’s not going to happen tonight, tomorrow or next week
as you know, plans take a while to revise and it seems to me totally unfair to take a one developer
and say, we want you to put in green space, we want you to put in a park, etc., or contribute to
our park system and the next guy coming in is not treated on as level a playing field as possible.
It seems like and so until we get our plan revised, as you’ve indicated we have authority to do
this, which is the basis upon which I’m, like I said, I’m going to make a motion to approve it subject
to that condition, but thank you, I appreciate you explaining.
Regular Meeting Minutes
October 26, 2021

Mendoza – Thank you. I have question in regards to the other development that Councilmember
Everett is talking about and, you know, Mr. Watson mentioned that every development is different.
Was that a, that development made a donation or did it become on behalf of the Council? My
understanding was that they made that.
Arteaga – That was, that was a different planner. That planner somehow interpreted the
regulation different and he identified that that developer was required to provide some green
space. At that time, we had, had the discussion that because of the minimal staff that we had it
was difficult to complete all of the mowing that we were required to do and we settled on a
contribution to improve Dykstra Park playground amenities in lieu of, of adding a half-acre of lawn
at the Grandridge Estates. That’s the one that we’re talking about.
Mendoza – Okay, thank you. Okay, any other comments on discussion.
Herzog – Hi, this is Eric Herzog with HLA Engineering and Land Surveying.
Mendoza – Good evening. Yes sir, we can hear you.
Herzog – I would like to comment on this. The lots as proposed are larger than the code requires
and there’s also the Tract B which lies along the northerly side of the plat which is open space
and then I think Mr. Watson was considering the adjacent parks such as the high school site and
some of the open green spaces that are very near this project. I’d also like to offer any, to answer
questions that the Council may have on this project.
Everett – I would like to say one thing that we considered on the, on the Grandridge was that we
considered that there was an open park very close to it, we considered that, that was something
subject to discussion, so the fact that there was a reasonably close open green spaces and, you,
one of the things I was interested, you said there’s an open space available on what, what side it
was, north side, where was it.
Herzog – If you, yeah if you look at the copy of the plat.
Everett – It’s hard to look at because of the (inaudible).
Herzog – There’s open space, it’s called Tract B that’s a little over 6,600 square feet which is
about one and a half acres that’s along the north side of the plat.
Everett – But that doesn’t, isn’t guaranteed to remain open space is it. It won’t be required forever
if somebody could came back and develop it, correct?
Herzog – It’s, we’re proposing it as tract and typically tracts can’t be developed as single family
houses.
Everett – Well I understand word typically, a and I’m a lawyer and that’s a weasel word, typically,
means kind of, maybe, yeah, usually, but, but simply requiring, that could be required to be the
green space, could it not?
Herzog – I’d like the developer to comment on that, if Tod would like to comment on that.
Regular Meeting Minutes
October 26, 2021

Lasley – Well, it, that, that actually I don’t believe can be developed because part of it lies within
if I’m not mistaken SVID right-of-way. Is that correct?
Arteaga – Yes.
Lasley – Yeah, so
Everett - And SVID (inaudible).
Lasley – It won’t, it won’t, it won’t ever be built on unless SVID happens to move their lines
sometime in the future which I’m sure I’ll be long gone by that time.
Everett – But what I’m suggesting tonight is that we approve it, but subject to that, a that there be
green space in the development on that, a green space or some kind of equivalent set off of some
more for our parks or whatever and not, not to create a insurmountable (inaudible), it’s just that I
object to the fact that we don’t treat everybody the same and I’m sure that if you had, if the shoe
was on the other foot for you, you probably wouldn’t want to be the guy that had to do green and
the next guy don’t, you know what I mean and I appreciate that.
Lasley – Does anybody know the frontage for the Grandridge project. What the frontage of the
lots is?
Everett – I can’t hear you what?
Lasley – What is the frontage of the lots in Grandridge.
Arteaga – I don’t’ have that handy.
Mendoza – He’s asking what is the frontage of the Grandridge properties, but I think at this point
if there’s any, any other discussion so we can proceed with the record hearing.
Souders – Madam Mayor.
Mendoza – Yes.
Souders – I’m not real clear on whether or not I can do this, but after listening to the discussion
and the fact that we don’t really have an ordinance in place that says you have to have green
space, I would like to withdraw my second on the motion.
Everett – I haven’t made a motion.
Plant – I don’t think there’s a motion.
Mendoza – There’s not a motion, yet.
Souders – I thought Mike made the motion.
Everett – No, no.

Rodriguez – He said if.
Souders – If.
Rodriguez – If.
Souders – Okay.
Mendoza – Okay, thank you very much. Let’s move forward and we’ll get there. So know that
we have reviewed the record concerning the issue, this subject is open for decision. So the
Council may approve as recommended, approve with conditions, modify with or without the
applicant’s concurrence provided that the modifications do not enlarge the area of the scope of
the project, increase the density of proposed building size, significantly increase adverse
environmental impacts as determined by the responsible official, deny (re-application or re-
submittal is permitted), deny with prejudice (re-application or re-submittal is not allowed for one
year), remand for further proceedings and/or evidentiary hearing in accordance with Section
