There were a number of additional issues raised including lack of notice and apparent
health code violations. The nature and scope of the proposed advisory committee was
reviewed. There was considerable discussion on the need to have all factions in the
community represented on the advisory committee. After considerable discussion,
thirteen members of the audience volunteered to serve. It was noted that someone
representing the business community need to be added. Several volunteered to secure
one more volunteer to serve from the business community. Following the meeting, the
fourteen were officially appointed by letter from Mr. Scott Clark, Grant County Planning
Director.
The advisory committee had three meetings preceded by an organizational meeting
conducted by conference call.
All three meetings were held in the Desert Aire area, were open to the public and
advertised through mailings, entails and posting in Desert Aire. The location and times
for each meeting are as follows:
• Friday December 1, 2000 at 2:00 p.m. at the Sagebrush Senior Center in Desert Aire.
• Thursday December 7, 2000 at 2:00 p.m. at the Port of Mattawa Office on Road 24.
• Wednesday December 13, 2000 at 12 noon at the Sagebrush Senior Center in Desert

Meeting summaries were prepared by Mr. McCormick.'
Committee Deliberations and Recommendations
The information in this section is organized by topic. Topics were discussed in more than
one meeting. All final recommendations were reviewed at the last meeting.
Desert Aire Rural Village Boundary
The boundary of the Desert Aire Rural Village in the Grant County Comprehensive Plan
includes an area larger than the original plat and the current PUD. There was
considerable interest among the committee members and the citizens in attendance about
how the original boundaries had been established, the implications on permitted activities
and the advantages and disadvantages of adjusting the boundary. The proposed revised
boundary is shown in Table 4

Desert AireAdvisorvCommitteeReport 3 December 15, 2000
Introduction
Grant County has recently adopted a new Comprehensive Plan and Uniform
Development Code to implement the plan. At the time these were adopted, the Board of
County Commissioners elected to not include specific zoning for the Desert Aire Rural
Village. This area is centered on the area contained in the Desert Aire PUD but includes
adjacent lands, including some areas located east of State Id"ighway 243. Due to
considerable local disagreement and controversy, the BOCC elected to delay any specific
zoning designations and promised the area's residents that an advisory committee would
be established to help identify appropriate designations and attempt to resolve the
controversy regarding the use of recreational vehicles. The BOCC enacted a temporary
moratorium on new residential building permits until the zoning issues were adopted.
The Planning Department established an ambitious schedule for establishing an advisory
committee and developing a set of recommendations. This schedule called for the
recommendations for the advisory committee to be completed before Christmas. This
would permit a formal presentation to the planning commission in January and to the
BOCC in February. This schedule anticipates at least two public hearings—one before
the planning commission and a second before the BOCC.
The Planning Department retained Mike McCormick. a planning consultant from
Olympia, to help create and work with an advisory committee from the Desert Aire
community to develop a set of recommendations for the Planning Department.
The advisory committee was able to reach a general consensus on a set of
recommendations that were requested. The committee believes that they have provided
sufficient detail to allow the Planning Department to prepare one or more ordinances to
effectively implement these recommendations.
These recommendations will be developed by the Planning Department and presented to
the Grant County Planning Commission early in 2001. It is expected that the Planning
Commission will forward the proposal for the consideration of the Board of County
Commissioners expeditiously, allowing for appropriate public review and comment.
Creation of the Advisory Committee
The county convened an initial community meeting in Mattawa on November 21, 2000.
Approximately 90 interested citizens attended. The meeting was moderated by Mike
McCormick. Mr. McCormick explained the purpose of the meeting was to discuss the
current situation and gather the communities recommendations on the creation of the
advisory committee and prospective membership
There was a robust discussion with many attendees expressing dissatisfaction about both
the decision to vacate any zoning for the area and for the imposition of a moratorium.
' It is recognized that detailed implementation may require minor adjustments for consistency elsewhere in
Grant County's Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code that are not identified here.
Desert Aire Advisory Committee Report December 15, 2000
in certain zones. Some changes were to make uses subject to some level of conditional
use review. The proposed RVR zone was split into two zones (RVR 1 and RVR 2) to
distinguish between single family and multiple family and condominiums. An open
space zone was added.
A detailed review was undertaken to identify any conflicts between the current set of
regulations imposed through the Desert Aire Owners Association.6 The general operating
principle was to make sure that the county regulations would not conflict with those
imposed by the owner's association. There was considerable discussion about the
purpose of the regulations and an interest on the part of several members of the
committee to incorporate portions of the owner's association's rules in the County's
UDC. The two most significant conflicts involved side yard setbacks in the older
divisions and the requirement for set backs on commercial properties. Considerable care
was taken to make sure that the full range of accepted uses would be allowed within the
open space zone. There was interest in making sure that the golf course would be a
permitted use and that utility facilities would be permitted. Provision to allow for
continued development of the existing commercial parcels was discussed to assure that
the current development standards could be satisfied.8 A final issue was to make sure
that community facilities were in appropriate zones.9 The recommended table of
permitted uses for each proposed zone is contained in Table 5A. The recommended table
of development standards is contained in Table 5B.10
County Enforcement
Enforcement of County regulations was recognized as an important element of a new set
of zones and development regulations. At the initial community meeting considerable
unhappiness was expressed at a perceived lack of enforcement of County regulations. A
principle embraced by the committee was that any County provisions should be
enforceable. The committee received two presentations: one from the Building
Department and a second from the Health Department
Ms. Brenda Larson from the Building Department reviewed recent changes to the UDC
including a major improvement, switching from criminal enforcement to civil
enforcement. The County has already seen the effectiveness of writing citations
containing monetary fines in promoting prompt response from violators. Current
' The Desert Aire Owners Association operates under a set of bylaws. a set of covenants, conditions and
restrictions and a set of architectural guidelines. They are subject to change by vote of the owners. They
were last revised June 24, 2000.
The primary uses here ate for wells and their distribution systems.
s Current provisions of the Desert Aire development limitations do not require any setback for commercial
parcels. The major parcel at the formal entrance to the Desert Aire PUD has considerable development in
place with more planned as indicated on their plat map. Review by Grant County Planning Department
staff indicated that the parcel could accommodate the proposed setbacks and still permit the existing and
Manned development without special consideration.
The primary uses here are churches, senior center, fire station and sheriff's station.

in Section 23.12 Table 3.
Desert Aire Advisory Committee Report 5 December 15, 2000
The boundaries were established as part of the Comprehensive Plan development.
Eligible areas were identified by the Planning Department working with their consultant:
Proulx Cearns, Inc. The Growth Management Act establishes strict eligibility criteria for
areas to be designated. It furthers details the criteria which must be used to draw the
boundaries .4 The committee reviewed the criteria. Two property owners specifically
requested that their property be removed from the area to preserve agriculture as the
primary use. They expressed concern that they be protected from encroachment from
incompatible uses. The committee noted that the Desert Aire Owners Association owned
several parcels totaling some 70 acres on the east side of S.H. 243. This property is the
current site of the PUD's water tank. In addition, additional properly has been retained to
allow for future siting of a sewer treatment facility, should it become necessary. The
committee expressed a strung desire to retain this property within the boundary. A
reduced boundary has been recommended.'
Zoning Designations
The committee reviewed a version of the original plat map which indicated the intended
uses. The committee express a clear desire to adhere as closely as possible to the original
intentions, as indicated on the plat map. Staff presented a proposed partial set of
designations. The committee endorsed this proposal with minor changes and extended
the designations throughout the PUD area. Additional recommendations were developed
for the portion of the area east of S.H. 243. The proposed zoning designations are in
Table 4.
There was some considerable discussion of what permitted uses could be expected under
a specific use category. This included a detailed review of the type, their nature and
character based on the new UDC.
Development Regulations
The current Grant County Uniform Development Code does not contain 4W designated
uses permitted for the Rural Village. A primary purpose of the committee was to
recommend appropriate uses for the area. The committee reviewed the original
recommendations provided by Proulx Cearns, Inc. These were reviewed against uses
originally proposed in the original PUD and the previous Grant County Zoning Code.
The proposed uses were reviewed extensively and in detail. Specific recommendations
were made to change some uses. Some of these changes were to prohibit proposed uses
4 Specific provisions tinder the GMA allow for limited designations of "limited areas of more intensive
rival development". This is the provision under which the Desert Aire Rural Village was established The
primary requirement is that the area exist prior to July 1, 1990 or when the county initiated planning under
the GMA. The boundary must be drawn tightly to areas of more intensive development.. Infill and
redevelopment are permitted See RCW 36.70A070 (5) (d).
5 The committee has been briefed on the current case which Grant County has brought in Superior Court
challenging the recent decision of the Eastern Washington Growth Management Hearings Board The
committee dismissed the potential affect their recommendation might have on this litigation. It is not the
intent of this recommendation to be counter to or undermine the County's current case in Superior Court
regarding the designation of areas of more intensive rural development in the Comprehensive Plan.
Desert Aire AdWsory Conumuee Report 4 December /S, 2000
the recommendation to the Planning Department recognizing that there would be
opportunities to present their individual positions as the proposal is reviewed by the
Planning Commission and when it is before the Board of County Commissioners for
formal adoption. There was considerable desire to adhere as closely as possible to the
current version of the Desert Aire Owners Association Restated Architectural
Regulations' Section 2.02 which regulates recreational vehicle use. 12
The need for effective enforcement of regulations was recognized. The past enforcement
activities of Grant County (or the lack thereof) were noted as a source of aggravation.
The recent changes to the Unified Development Code provides a significant change
moving from a criminal standard and process, to a civil standard and process for
enforcement, as noted above. However, the recent change has not provided sufficient
time to gain experience with new practice and the results. t' However, there are high
expectations that the recent changes to the UDC will result in more timely and effective
enforcement.
The committee's recommendation addresses four areas.
iz Section 2.02 contains the following:
The use of recreational vehicles is subject to the following resmcaons:
(a) Recreation vehicles may be parked on a lot with a dwellingirestdence in Division I through Division
9.
(b) Recreational vehicles may be parked on a lot not having a dwellingresidence in Division I through
Division 7 for a 'limited penod" from Afarch I" through .November 1" ofeach calendar year.
(c) Recreational vehicles may be parked on a lot not having a dwellingiresidence in Division 8 and
Division 9 during the construction of the dwellingiresidenee for a time period not to exceed one (1)
year.
(d) Recreational vehicles may only be parked on improved lots that have an approved septic system, water
meter, and electrical service.
(e) Approval of Placement: Prior to anv placement of a recreational vehicle a site plan and photo of the
unit must be submitted and approved by the .Architectural Committee. Refer to 2 03 below for
requirements
1) Extension of Placement: Permission may be obtained to extend the time allowed only if the unit is
going to be used during the winter months
a) A written extension request is required annually sent to the attention of the Architectural
Committee. Extension requests must be received by October 1.
b) Extension of placement may be demea if the lot is not well maintained or if arty violation
exists on the lot.
c) Anv unit not requesting extension or denied an extension must be removed b_v November
1.
2) Habitation shall not exceed thirty (30) continuous days.
3) Recreational vehicles may not be occupied for the purpose of commuting to and from a place of
employment.
Additional Units. One (1) additional recreational vehicle will be allowed on a lot for a time period not to
exceed 14 continuous days. Boats and golf carts are excluded from this requirement.
13 Grant County has elected to apply their code enforcement on a complaint basis. By this, the county will
rely on written complaints before formal investigations are initiated This decision was made to avoid
potential problems with county routine inspections being subject to fairness challenges. There is concern
within the Desert Aire community that those who initiate county actions will be subject to retribution from
the targets of their complaints.
Desert Aire A dvisory Committee Report 7 December 15, 2000
enforcement strategy relies on written complaints. Currently, there is a two-week
backlog of complaints at the present time.
Mr. Kevin Berry from the Health Department provided a similar presentation of the
Health Department's mission, the fact that they are a separate public agency and some of
the recent issues in the Desert Aire area. The primary focus of the discussion was
directed at sewer and septic issues. W. Berry reviewed the department's enforcement
activities. The problem of overloading septic systems was discussed. The fact that the
Association currently meters water presented an opportunity to explore viable
enforcement. Mr. Berry committed to a future meeting with the Association to explore a
cooperative program of monitoring and enforcement.
Regulation of Recreational Vehicles
The evolution of RV's and the regulation of their siting and use has been a very
controversial issue within the Desert Aire PUD. Strong feelings prevail on both sides of
the issue of RV's at Desert Aire. The advisory committee thoroughly deliberated all
aspects of RV's existence on residential lots and the ramifications connected with
prohibiting new ones and gradually eliminating those currently existing on residential lots
within the Desert Aire PUD.
The advisory committee understands that the current Grant County regulations limit RV's
both where they are permitted and the duration of use in any calendar year. 11 The two
primary aspects of these regulations are that RV's are not now permitted in any
residential zones. Second, county regulations limit the time an RV can be occupied
during any year. The committee expressed a strong desire to fairly treat those who have
already developed their residential lots to accommodate regular use with their RV's.
The existence of RV's in Desert Aire can't be ignored. Their ultimate removal creates
questions for fairness and equity. The significant variance in appearance and
maintenance aggravates the controversy. Those who use their RV's on a regular basis are
important to the Desert Aire economy and to the viability of the development. RV users
are attracted to Desert Aire throughout the year, although at a significantly reduced rate
in the winter months. Overuse and nuisance activities during a few holiday weekends is a
problem, with overcrowding on individual lots being a major complaint. Any resolution
needs to give appropriate deference to private property rights.
There was considerable divergence among committee members. Several members
acknowledged that they had direct interests in the outcome. Some members continue to
object to specific elements of the recommendation. All of the committee agreed to make
" GCC Section 23.08.300 prcmdes that RV's must be for temporary occupancy that not exceed six
months. This applies to RV Parks which are subject to a conditional use permit. Additional restrictions
covering RV's and RV Parks are included in the definitions at GCC Chapter 25.02 at page 40. RV's are
not permitted as permanent residential facilities nor are they permitted in am residential zone. They are
permitted for temporary use under very specific and limited conditions. See GCC Chapter 23.04.120 at
page 15.
Desert Aire Advisory Committee Report 6 December 15, 2000
Desert Aire Owners Association would enforce the provisions. Other related UDC
and Building Code provisions would be enforced by Grant County on a complaint
basis.
The second option is for the County to adopt a specific period when RV's can not
remain as a primary use on residential lots. The County should adopt a shorter period
than currently allowed by the Desert Aire Owners Associations provisions. This
would rely on the Desert Aire Owners Association for primary enforcement and only
requiring County actions should an owner fail to remove their RV as required by the
Association's regulations." Establishing a period for owners to remove their RV's
from individual residential lots from December I` to March I` would satisfy this
suggested provision. If this alternative is selected, the committee recommends a
general provision which would allow property owners to be able to bring their RV's
back for short periods of time in the winter for recreational purposes. is
There was considerable discussion concerning the difficulty of enforcing these
provisions. The committee understands that the County needs a clear standard which
makes effective enforcement realistic under the current enforcement standards and
practices. There were some members of the committee who indicated recent
improvements in the effectiveness of the Desert Aire Owners Association suggesting
that the general provisions of Section 2.02 of the Architectural Regulations are
sufficient regulation. If Grant County were to rely on this method of informal
enforcement, the effectiveness needs to be monitored. Should this not prove
effective, the County may enact formal regulations
It is the expectations of the advisory committee that copies of the report will be
distributed to everyone who signed up at one of the meetings. Further. the committee
members feel strongly that thorough and timely notice needs to be provided to all of the
residents and property owners in the Desert Aire area when the County enters into formal
consideration of the ordinances implementing these recommendations.
" The Desert Aire Owners Associations regulations exist in three different places: Restated Bylaws:
Restated Declaration of Covenants. Conditions. and Restrictions: and. Restated Architectural Regulations.
All three documents were revisers effective June 24. 2000 and are recorded with the Grant County
Assessor. One issue identified is that these provisions are subject to revision by a vote of the property
owners only requiring a majority of those attending the members' meeting. Attendance at recent meetings
Is � represented a relatively low percentage of the total membership.
It was noted that a small number of RV's are used during the winter for hunting and other winter
recreation. This use is generally for short periods of time as over weekends. An effective monitoring
program would be required to enforce limitations on length of stay. No specific length of stay is suggested
The intent is to allow for weekend use as long as the RV's are not permanently connected to utilities nor
retained on residential lots.
Desert Aire AdvisorvCommrtteeReport 9 December 15, 2000
1. RV's are not permitted under current county regulations in residential zones
and can not be used as permanent residences. t' There should be no residential
permits for RV's or their supporting facilities (such as septic systems). This is
consistent with current county regulations as noted previously. The county has
provisions to allow RV's to be used temporarily under special conditions for up to a
year.
2. No new RV's should be permitted, including existing residential lots which are
not currently developed. It is important to not making the situation worse by
allowing any expansion of RV use on residential lots. The committee acknowledged
the potential liability to the County should new RV's be tolerated. The current
situation evolved over a period time.."
3. Existing RV use should be phased out over a five to seven year period.
Ultimately, RV's should be removed from residential lots. However, the interests of
those with developed lots which primarily use them for RV use need to be fairly
treated. What was a reasonable and equitable period for removal caused considerable
discussion among the committee. The range discussed varied from immediately
requiring existing RV's to be removed to allowing a grace period considerably
beyond the five to seven year proposal. This period represented a reasonable
compromise which would allow existing RV users to amortize their prior investment
and adjust to the new regulations.
4. Existing RV's should not be allowed to remain year-round on individual
residential lots. RV's use should be limited to short periods throughout the year.
Existing RV's should not be allowed to remain on individual lots throughout the year.
Those that do occupy their sites during the permitted period, need to be regulated to
limit actual use. The County currently limits the occupancy of an RV in several
ways. (6
The committee identified two options to implement this provision. The committee's
preferred option is to allow the Desert Aire Owners Association to apply and enforce
the provisions of Section 2.02. This provides for limited use between March I' and
November I". There are provisions for some exceptions to allow use during the
winter through a formal written request process. If the first option was selected, the
14 RV's may be parked on residential lots subject to the provisions of GCC Chapter 23.08.020 ( i) at page 4.
15 The current situation evolved over time. The Desert Aire package of regulations clearly specify that the
lots are for residential use. (See footnote number 15.) The previous Grant County Zoning Ordinance did
not allow RVs on residential lots. There are a variety of contributing factors attributed to creating the
current situation: Lax enforcement by Grant County, Lax enforcement by the Desert Aire Owners
Association What started as intermittent RV use gradually evolved to more permanent placement on some
lots. There was no attempt to place blame for the current situation. The primary focus was resolving the
current situation in a reasonable period of time.
16 In addition to the limitations cited earlier, the Grant Countv UDC further limits the duration by
prohibiting RVs use for "permanent occupancy". This effectively limits the amount of time an RV may
be connected to utilities. In the case of Desert Aire this includes a septic system, public water and electrical
service. See Chapter 25.02 at page 33.

To individual Advisory Committee members
(See attached list)
Dear Mr. :
Thank you for volunteering to serve on the Desert Aire Development Regulations
Advisory Committee. Grant County and I appreciate your willingness to serve.
The advisory committee is being established to help the department draft a set of new
development regulations for the Desert Aire community and surrounding area. As you
know from the material presented at the November 17`h meeting in Mattawa, the county's
new development regulations do not contain any regulations for the Resort Village
classification which is unique to the Desert Aire area. This was done to extend a unique
opportunity for the community to directly participate in drafting the proposed
development regulations.
Our timeframe is quite short. The County Commissioners have established at mid-
February deadline for considering new regulations. Obviously, completing the new
development regulations is necessary before the current emergency moratorium can be
removed. The schedule presented to the attendees at the November 17`h meeting
anticipates your work being completed by December 121h.
The county has retained Mike McCormick to assist the advisory committee complete
their work in a timely fashion. In addition to Mr. McCormick, me and my staff will be
available to support your work.
Again, thank you for your help. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any
questions.

Desert Aire Advisory Committee
Meeting Summary
December 1, 2000
This is a summary record of the second meeting of the Desert Aire Advisory Committee
held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, December 1, 2000. The meeting was held at the Sagebrush
Senior Center in Desert Aire. This was an open meeting attended by a number of
interested citizens.
Advisory Committee members attending: Bill Millard, Lael Ronholt, Ken Miller, Tom
Turax, Bill Briere, Bob Kibler, Tex Adams, Ray Wells, Allen Clow and Bruee Eskilden.
The meeting was conducted by Mike McCormick, planning consultant for Grant County.
Scott Clark, Grant County Planning Director provided staff support.
Public Information and Communication
The public information and communication activities were reviewed. Some members
had not received materials from the previous meeting through the mail. It was
acknowledged that there are very short intervals between meetings. Staff committed to
mailing as early as possible to improve the chances that materials would arrive in a
timely fashion. Notice of the meeting had not been posted at Desert Aire. Mike
McCormick promised that notices for the two remaining meetings would be provided to
the Desert Aire office on Monday to enable posting within Desert Aire.
The county's web site will be updated to contain information about this project and the
Advisory Committee's activities. Scott Clark indicated that the new information would
be available by mid -week. The address of the county's web site is www.grantcounty-
wa.com.
The materials in the Advisory Committee members' workbooks were reviewed. One
complete copy of the workbook will be provided at the Desert Aire Association office
throughout the project. Each Advisory Committee member received a copy of the
October 1, 2000 Grant County Unified Development Code.
Review of Proposed Development Regulations
The majority of time at this meeting was spent in a detailed review of the list of allowable
land uses for the Rural Village category as proposed by the county's land use planning
consultant, Proulx Cearns, Inc. A detailed review was conducted of all permitted uses for
each of general categories of land use: Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Institutional,
Recreational, Transportation, Utility, and Agriculture. There were relatively few initial
recommendations for changes or special conditions identified. Those that were identified
were: Residential - None; Commercial - Storage and sale of fertilizer, pesticides,
herbicides & soil sterilants; Industrial — None; Institutional — None; Recreational — None;

Meeting Summary
December 1, 2000
Transportation – Hangers; Utilities – None; Agriculture - Agricultural uses and activities
and animal husbandry
The discussion identified the need to further distinguish residential zones to include
single family, duplex and condominium units. The discussion included how to address
common open space throughout the Desert Aire PUD. The staff were directed to prepare
alternative maps showing how the draft zoning districts might be distributed throughout
the Desert Aire planning area.
Boundary of Desert Aire Rural Village
The basis of the boundary shown on the map was reviewed. This included a short review
of the provisions in the GMA statute and the criteria and application by the county as
reflected in the Comprehensive Plan. The primary consideration was the reasons for
including land outside the current boundaries of the Desert Aire P.U.D. This led to the
next topic—agricultural uses.
Agricultural Uses
The current boundaries of the Desert Aire Rural Village contain significant acreage of
orchards. There have been two requests to make sure that agricultural uses continue as a
permitted use and are protected against infringement from incompatible uses. The
possibility of adjusting the boundary of the rural village designation on the county's land
use map was discussed. Staff were asked to explore how the boundary might be redrawn
to address this issue. Notification will be provided to the property owners outside the
Desert Aire PUD. It was clear from the discussion and presentation by citizens at the
meeting that the parcels shown on the map need to be checked. Two specific examples
of where previously platted residential lots had been consolidated and put into
agricultural production were identified.
Airport Master Plan Status
The county's Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code contain provisions to
protect airports from conflicting uses and navigation obstructions. It was not clear the
exact status of the airport's plans and their approval by state and federal agencies. Scott
Clark will work with the appropriate committee members resolve any questions about the
application of airport protections identified in 23.08.030 of the UDC.
Enforcement
There was considerable discussion of current Grant County regulations and enforcement
practice. A general principle discussed focused on the range of issues needing to be
addressed with a general recognition that the county would be responsible to enforce
those provisions included in the UDC or other county ordinances. The Desert Aire
Desert Aire Advisory Conamttee
Meeting Summary
December 1, 2000
P.U.D. may have additional provisions above and beyond those in the county ordinances
which are in the Desert Aire Association's rules and covenants. These provisions would
be fall to the association and their members to enforce. The issue of including some
Association provisions in the county UDC was briefly discussed without a decision. A
more detailed discussion was deferred until the next meeting with the expectation that a
county representative of the Building Department and the Health Department could
attend and make presentations on current regulations and enforcement policy.
The next meeting of the Advisory Committee is scheduled for Thursday, December 7,
2000 at 2:00 pm. at the Sagebrush Senior Center in Desert Aire. Mike McCormick will
confirm the availability of the facility and notify advisory committee members if there is
any change.
The meeting concluded at approximately 5:15 p.m.
This summary was prepared by Mike McCormick.
Desert Aire Advisory Committee
Meeting Summary
December 7, 2000
This is a summary record of the third meeting of the Desert Aire Advisory Committee
held at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 7, 2000. The meeting was held at the Port of
Mattawa Office on Road 24. This was an open meeting attended by a number of
interested citizens.
Advisory Committee members attending: Ray Webber, Bill Millard, Lael Ronholt, Ken
Miller, Tom Turax, Bill Briere, Bob Kibler, Tex Adams, Al Anderson, Allen Clow,
Bruce Eskilden and Steve Eckengert. The meeting was conducted by Mike McCormick,
planning consultant for Grant County. Scott Clark, Grant County Planning Director
provided staff support.
Review Staff Draft of Provosed Development Regulations
The staff had prepared a revised proposal following extensive discussions at the previous
meeting. The primary change was the addition of two new zoning classes within the
Rural Village classification: RVR 2 and RVOSC. The RVR 2 provides for a zone to
accommodate multi -family and condominium developments. The RVOSC provides for a
zone for the various types of open space. The five proposed zoning types now
accommodate a zone for each type of use anticipated in the original plat. The committee
made several changes to the designations for some uses in some permitted zones. One
clarification was to limit duplexes to the RVR 2 zone.
There was an extensive discussion of the nature and character of activities in the open
space zone. The committee was interested in making sure that the range of activities now
allowed in the proposed open space zone be permitted. At the same time, the committee
wanted to make sure that parcels containing irrigation or potable water wells received
adequate protection.
Review Staff Ovtions for Zoning Desianations
The staff presented a proposed partial zoning map which reflected the uses suggested by
the original plat map. The committee generally accepted the staff recommendation. A
detailed review and discussion followed focusing on the other lands within the boundary
of the Desert Aire Rural Village, which includes property not within the Desert Aire
PUD.
The discussion covered industrial properties and the airport, extent of the commercial
core, eliminating agricultural designations by adjusting the DARV boundary and
appropriate designations in the remaining portion of the rural village remaining east of St.
Highway 243. All issues were resolved for the areas west of S.H. 243 with the exception
of making sure that the community activities near the entrance (church, senior center, fire
station, sheriff's station and park will be permitted uses at their current locations. Staff
Desert Aire Advisory Committee
Meeting Summary
December 7, 2000
Page 2
will present recommendations for the few remaining parcels east of S.H. 243 which are
unresolved.
Boundary of Desert Aire Rural Villase
The committee is proposing the eventual realignment of overall rural village boundary to
exclude agricultural lands. This would include redrawing the boundary to remove the
current agricultural tracts in the northeast portion of rural village adjacent to S.H. 243 and
the tracts currently in orchards and undeveloped ground south and east of the southern-
most residential areas.
Presentations on County Regulations and Enforcement Policies
The advisory committee received briefings from the Grant County Building Department
and the Grant County Health Department on the status of current regulations and
enforcement practices.
Brenda Larson from the Building Department reviewed recent changes to the UDC and
the major change in moving from criminal enforcement to civil enforcement. Ms. Larson
indicated that she had already seen the effectiveness of writing citations containing
monetary frtes in promoting prompt response from violators. Ms. Larson explained the
current enforcement strategy including the county's decision to rely on written
complaints as a trigger for enforcement. She indicated that there is a two-week backlog
of complaints at the present time. The committee discussed potential benefits of Desert
Aire Owners Association receiving copies of new permit applications as a way to avoid
conflicts between the County's development regulations and additional requirements
which may be in the CC & R's and enforced by the Association.
Kevin Berry from the Health Department provided a similar presentation of the Health
Department's mission, the fact that they are a separate public agency and some of the
recent issues in the Desert Aire area. The primary focus of the discussion was directed at
sewer and septic issues. Mr. Berry reviewed the county's enforcement activities. Several
examples raised by committee members were currently prohibited and enforceable by the
Health Department. The problem of overloading septic systems by too many residents of
individual properties was discussed. The fact that the Association currently meters water
presented an opportunity to explore viable enforcement. W. Berry committed to having
one of the sanitarians meet with the Association after the first of the new year to see if a
cooperative program of monitoring and enforcement could be developed.
Review County UDC and Reconcile Provisions
Advisory committee members had reviewed the UDC and identified several areas where
the UDC conflicts with the CC&R's. Scott Clark explained that the County had an
adopted policy incorporated in their Comprehensive Plan to allow certain existing
Desert Aire Advisory Committee
Meeting Summary
December 7, 2000
Page 3
developments to continue under the old rules. The County's rules would allow older
divisions of Desert Aire to continue developing under the old rules is they were more
than 50% developed. The committee members felt that this would apply to the older
divisions where there was a potential conflict on setback requirements. Mr. Clark will
confirm that this is the case for the next meeting.
A second potential conflict appears to exist with commercial properties. The one
developed commercial parcel developed without any required setbacks. The UDC does
contain setback requirements for all commercial development. Mr. Clark is examining
the situation to see if the current configuration of uses within this one parcel meet the
current setback requirements.
Regulation of RV's
This topic was deferred until the next meeting due to a lack of time.
The next meeting of the Advisory Committee is scheduled for Thursday, December 13,
2000 at 12 noon at the Sagebrush Senior Center in Desert Aire.
The meeting concluded at approximately 6:30 p.m.
This summary was prepared by Mike McCormick.

Meeting Summary
December 13, 2000
This is a summary record of the third meeting of the Desert Aire Advisory Committee
held at 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 13, 2000. The meeting was held at the
Sagebrush Senior Center in Desert Aire. This was an open meeting attended by a number
of interested citizens.
Advisory Committee members attending: Bill Millard, Lael Ronholt, Ken Miller, Tom
Turax, Ray Webber, Bill Briere, Bob Kibler, Tex Adams, Ray Wells, Al Anderson, Allen
Clow, Bruce Eskilden and Steve Eckengert. The meeting was conducted by Mike
McCormick, planning consultant for Grant County. Scott Clark, Grant County Planning
Director provided staff support.
Review of Desert Aire Rural Village Boundary Map
The committee reviewed the map showing the proposed boundary adjustment which
reflected recommendations made at the previous meeting of the advisory committee. The
changes included redrawing the boundary to remove the current agricultural tracts in the
northeast portion of rural village adjacent to S.H. 243 and the tracts currently in orchards
and undeveloped ground south and east of the southern -most residential areas. The
revised boundary reflected the committee's recommendations.
Review of Desert Aire Zoning Map
The committee reviewed the proposed zonings designations prepared by staff based on
recommendations made at the previous advisory committee meeting.
The zoning designations for the portion of the Rural Village west of S.H. 234 were
reviewed with three small adjustments to reflect the intent of the committee. These
adjustments were: (1) The parcel at the NW end of the airport and owned by the Desert
Aire Owners Association would be designated for open space. (2) The map would be
revised to show all open space in Divisions 1 through 7. The community activities near
the entrance (church, senior center, fire station, sheriff's station and park will be
permitted uses.
The staff's recommendation for proposed designations for the parcels east of S.H. 243
was accepted. This area includes property containing the Desert Aire water tank and land
identified for future potential use to support a sewer system.
Review of Proposed Development Regulations
The staff presented a revised set of allowable land uses for the zones proposed and the
accompanying development standards. One change was recommended which would
make outdoor recreation developments subject to a conditional use review in the open
Desert Aire Advisory Committee
Meeting Summary
December 13, 2000
Page 2
space and the industrial zones. This would make treatment of open space consistent for
all zones in Desert Aire.
The revised development standards were accepted with one addition. The three different
minimum dwelling unit size currently in the Desert Aire regulations will be incorporated
into the County's regulations. A subcommittee consisting of Bill Millard and Tom Truax
will work with Mr. Clark on incorporating this provision.
There was a discussion of the setback requirements for commercial projects. Mr. Scott
explained that the requirement for setbacks is applied to the outer boundary of the parcel.
It will not affect the internal layout for the location of buildings nor further limit their
areas beyond what is can-ently shown on the parcel map. This was of particular concern
for the commercial parcel with existing development located at the entrance to Desert
Aire.
Regulation of Recreational Vehicles
This topic had been deferred from the previous agenda. Mr. McCormick started the
discussion by acknowledging the conflict which has been recently generated over the use
of RV's within the various divisions of the Desert Aire PUD. He further explained that
the current Grant County regulations restrict the use of RV's. The two primary aspects of
these regulations are that RV's are not now permitted to be used as a residence anywhere
in any residential zones. Second, county regulations limit the time an RV can be
occupied during any year. Lastly, the committee should recognize that there should be
fair treatment to those RV's already in Desert Aire.
There was an extensive discussion of the issues surrounding the regulation of RV's.
Some of the issues raised included: Importance of RV's to the Desert Aire economy and
viability of the development. Negative effect of some RV's on the property taxes. Wide
range of RV's present and the significant variation in maintenance on individual lots.
Winter activities that attract RV users. Overuse and nuisance activities during holiday
weekends. Relative merits of an abatement program for current RV's. The need to
respect private property rights. The discussion included a review of the enforcement
programs of the Health Department and the Building Department including enhanced
enforcement with the new civil standard and future meetings to explore coordinated
enforcement.
The committee's recommendation addresses four areas. There was considerable
divergence among committee members. Several members acknowledged that they had
direct interests in the outcome. Some members continue to object to specific elements of
the recommendation. All of the committee agreed to make the recommendation to the
Planning Department recognizing that there would be opportunities to present their
individual positions as the proposal is reviewed by the Planning Commission and when it
is before the Board of County Commissioners for formal adoption. There was
Desert Aire Advisory Committee
Meeting Summary
December 13, 2000
Page 3
considerable desire to adhere as closely as possible to the current version of the Desert
Aire Owners Association Restated Architectural Regulations' Section 2.02 which
regulates recreational vehicle use. The recommendations are
1. RV's can not be used as a permanent residence. There should be no residential
permits for RV's or their supporting facilities (such as septic systems). This is
consistent with current county regulations. The county has provisions to allow RV's
to be used temporarily under special conditions for up to a year.
2. No new RV's should be permitted, including existing residential lots which are
not currently developed. The committee recognizes the importance of not snaking
the situation worse by allowing any expansion of RV use on residential lots. The
committee acknowledged the Grant County potential liability should new RV's be
allowed.
3. Existing RV's use should be phased out over a five to seven year period. The
period allowed caused considerable discussion among the committee. The range
discussed varied from immediately requiring existing RV's to be removed to allowing
a grace period considerably beyond the proposal. This period represented a
reasonable compromise which would allow existing RV users to adjust to the new
regulations.
4. Existing RV's should not be allowed to remain on individual residential lots
throughout the year and their use should be regulated to limit amount of use in a
year. Existing RV's should not be allowed to remain on individual lots throughout
the year. Those that do occupy their sites during the permitted period, need to be
regulated to limit actual use. The County currently limits the occupancy of an RV in
several ways: Through the provisions for RV parks and by the definition of
"permanent occupancy".
The committee identified two options to implement this provision. The committee's
preferred option is to allow the Desert Aire Owners Association to apply and enforce
the provisions of Section 2.02. This provides for limited use between March 151 and
November I". There are provisions for some exceptions to allow use during the
winter through a formal written request process. If the first option was selected, the
Desert Aire Owners Association would enforce the provisions. Existing County
regulations would be enforced on a complaint basis.
The second option is for the County to adopt a specific period when RV's can not
occupy residential lots. The committee discussed potential dates with some
consideration to making it shorter than that currently imposed by Desert Aire Owners
Association. This might be from December 151 to March 151. If this alternative is
selected, the committee would recommend a provision which would allow property
owners to be able to bring their RV's back for short periods of time (weekends?).
Desert Aire Advisory Committee
Meeting Summary
December 13, 2000
Page 4
There was considerable discussion concerning the difficulty of enforcing these
provisions. The committee understands that the County needs a clear standard which
makes effective enforcement realistic under the current enforcement standards and
practices. There were some members of the committee who indicated recent
improvements in the effectiveness of the Desert Aire Owners Association
Next Steps
This concludes the formal activities of the committee. Mr. McCormick will expeditiously
prepare the committee's recommendations and forward it to the Grant County Planning
Department. It is the committee's hope that this will enable the County to move quickly
to remove the current moratorium on residential permits at Desert Aire.
Copies of the report will be sent to Advisory Committee members at the same time.
Copies will be available through the County and at the Desert Aire Owners Association
office. A copy will be posted on the County's and Desert Aire Owners Association web
site. Everyone who attended one of the initial community meeting in Mattawa or one of
the Advisory Committee meetings will receive notification of the Advisory Committee
Recommendations and how they can obtain a copy.
Mike McCormick thanked the Advisory Committee members for their diligence and
civility. He noted that this was a remarkable amount of work to accomplish in such a
short period of time, particularly when it was recognized that advisory committee
members were volunteers.
The meeting concluded at approximately 5:30 p.m.
