After several months, the Medical Lake Planning Commission met June 25 with one less member in the ranks. City Administrator Doug Ross informed the Planning Commission that Lois Feken resigned from her position as commission chair.
“Lois (Feken) thought it was time to use pursue other things,” Ross said.
Ross also introduced Tammy Roberson, Feken’s replacement. The commission will appoint a chair at a future meeting.
The committee discussed the development on North Stanley Street. Ross explained that it consists of four lots, which will be made into duplexes.
“It’s a short plat and we do those administratively,” Ross said. “If it’s five lots or more, the impacts will be greater and that’s when it goes to the public.”
Ross said the developers restaked the area to prevent any impact to the wetlands.
Commission member Peg James asked about the recent activity in the old Bruchi’s Building on Lefevre Street and the Westside Pizza Building next to the veterinary clinic. Ross said the Bruchi’s building has a new owner who applied for a business permit. He added that he has not heard anything relating to Westside Pizza.
“A lot of those real estate transactions take place at the Spokane County courthouse, not in the city,” Ross said.
Ross informed the commission that the recycling center will continue to take batteries and oil after the city shuts it down when they begin its new curbside recycling program. The building will be used to store some of the city’s equipment.
The next Planning Commission meeting will be July 30.
