The Commissioners held a public hearing regarding the adoption of a Development Agreement between Grant County, the City of Moses Lake, and the developer, Guardian Industries, for the development of a fiberglass manufacturing industrial project located in, S 19 E, T 29, R 16, W M. The Planning Director stated that the agreement is between the City of Moses Lake, Grant County and property owners Russell Fode and Merle Palmerton Trust. One parcel is currently in the Urban Growth Area, one is not The parcel numbers are 190671000 and 190449000. The reason for the development agreement is to establish a process that can be looked to for the development for their proposal which is approximately a 1 million square foot building pad that would be situated on the two parcels and to identify infrastructure improvements and funding. This would cover the issues of the Comp Plan Amendment process for the County and the City as well as the handling of the building permits. Comments were submitted by Public Works and the Prosecuting Attorney's office The Prosecuting Attorney's had concern about the provision in section 5.3 regarding Attorney Fee Costs Provisions. Staff recommends this portion be removed from the Agreement starting with "any action is brought to enforce this agreement...." In section 1.1 and 1.2, Guardian inserted comments and Staff agrees with comments but wants to strike the word "complete" as the applications are not currently technically complete. The Planning Director recommended that Guardian complete a land use inventory analysis of the industrial land in the area to determine the availability or unavailability of land in the general vicinity. This is needed in order to proceed with the Development Agreement which agrees to begin processing the Comprehensive Plan amendment which will be done so under 36. 78. 360 "Special Provisions" which allows the County to amend and include this area into the UGA without having to wait for the annual amendment process. Staff believes Guardian has started the process but is not sure it is completed Staff recommends that this be completed before the Development Agreement is signed and continue the hearing until this is received Page 3 of 5 COMMISSiON'ERS' PROCEEDINGS Week of March 13, 2006 Rick John, Guardian Industries, discussed the Land Inventory and that it is in the process of being completed. Commissioner Moore asked if the Prosecutor's recommendation to remove section 5.3 was agreeable. Mr. John stated he did not believe it would be a problem but would have to discuss it with their legal department. Ralph Kincade, who represents the land owners, stated that they are prepared to move forward. Joe Gavinski, City of Moses Lake, commented on the provision added by Guardian in section 4.2 regarding the installation of a water system within 120 days. The City had removed it but has been reinstated The City does not believe 120 days is sufficient and would like this time frame removed. Terry Brewer, Grant County Economical Development Council discussed the land inventory. He does not believe that Guardian should be responsible to supply GIS maps. Albert Anderson, Port of Moses Lake, submitted for the record a GIS map and discussed the City of Moses Lake's UGA and showed the industrial sites in Grant County. Derek Pohle, Public Works Director, had comments on section 4.1.2 regarding frontage development requirements. The access road would need to be improved, approximately 1000 feet Approximate cost would be 5150,000.00 not including engineering or inspection costs. Section 4.1.4 Right of Way requirements were discussed. Commissioner Moore asked Guardian if a continuance would be needed to discuss their issues with their legal counsel Mr John said it was up to the Board, if they believed it was necessary. Commissioner Allison proposed that the agreement should be contingent upon completion the analysis of the water time frame. Commissioner Stevens also agreed that a continuance might be necessary. Ralph Kincaid recommended not to continue but to approve with the minor changes. Commissioner Allison also agreed with Mr. Kincaid, to approve with contingencies. Commissioner Stevens asked the City of Moses Lake and others present if they had any issues to approving the agreement with contingencies. Commissioner Allison asked the City if 180 days would be appropriate to provide water. Joe Gavinski stated that 9 months would make them more comfortable. Commissioner Moore stated that a continuance would be beneficial Mr. Gavinski stated that this agreement still has to go before the City Counsel for approval. Mr. Johns stated that he believed that 6 months would be acceptable, but this could be worked out in the contingencies Derek Pohle stated that it would be beneficial for the CERB and TIB grant process to move forward and approve the agreement today with contingencies. Terry Brewer agreed with Derek Pohle. Commissioner Stevens stated he believed it would be a good idea to move forward. Commissioner Allison moved to close the public comment portion of the hearing, Commissioner Moore seconded and the motion passed unanimously Commissioner Allison mored, for discussion purposes, to adopt the Development agreement as presented and directs staff to make the following suggested changes: Change of the Whereas in section 1.1 and 1.2, deletion of "complete'; 1.3 deletion of "manufacturing'; 4 2 put in "approximately 6 months" for delivery of water service; 5.3 accept Prosecutor's suggestion to delete the last 3 — 4 lines and make changes to "enforcement", and staff to complete document for the Board's signature.
