Transportation Subcommittee Report – John Dietzman • The PCTS will be meeting on Tuesday, July 14th, and they’ll be working on the Engineering Design Street Standards and will also consider amendments to the Comp Plan Transportation chapter for the arterial map and bicycle plan. • The PCTS meeting was delayed from July 7th, so members could participate in a meeting with the WA State Transportation Commission. They had a distinguished group of panelists who covered a wide range of topics, including the future of transportation post-COVID-19. They went over statistics on traffic reduction in auto, ferry, and public transit and also made projections on different scenarios dealing with the recovery. They said things could go back to normal if a vaccine comes out by the end of the year, but adjustments would have to be made if it’s going to take a significant amount of time to get a vaccine. These could include telecommuting, more walking and biking, and an increase in suburban living with more people able to work from home and enjoy the advantages of suburban living. John will resend the link to the PowerPoint presentations from the meeting to Plan Commissioners. 5. Secretary Report – Louis Meuler • There are several items coming to Plan Commission in the next couple months, so some meetings may have to run later to allow all items to be presented. • The August 26th meeting was planned to be cancelled, but there’s a possibility of having an in- person, socially distanced walking meeting/tour out in the community prior to winter. • Louis will be working with City Council to find a date they can meet with Plan Commission for a joint meeting in the next quarter.

The goal of the Housing Action Plan is to encourage the construction of additional affordable and market rate housing options accessible to people of all income levels. The planning process will follow a data-driven, community-informed approach with a focus on equity built on inclusive outreach and engagement with residents, partners, and City leaders. Please review the project page for the Housing Action Plan here: https://my.spokanecity.org/housing/spokane-housing-action-plan/ Background In 2019, the WA Legislature passed RCW 36.70A.600 (formerly E2SHB 1923) to incentivize cities to increase urban residential capacity and density by completing recommended actions or a housing action plan. The legislation emphasizes the need to increase housing supply for all income levels, and encourages cities to prioritize the creation of affordable, inclusive neighborhoods. Certain non-project actions are not subject to SEPA appeal if completed prior to April 1, 2021 (see RCW 36.70A.600). Impact The Housing Action Plan will provide a strategic approach for the City to increase housing options that meet the needs of residents at all income levels. It will examine population, workforce and housing trends in Spokane with a housing needs assessment. The plan will inform the Comprehensive Plan and guide strategies by assessing housing policies, development regulations, and other city programs that influence the development of housing. The plan will identify responsible parties, timelines, steps for implementation and potential funding sources. The outcome will be a coordinated vision that focuses attention, builds community support, and promotes accountability for enacting change. This builds on previous housing discussions related to the Comprehensive Plan, infill development, housing quality, and affordable housing.

  • Kirtland Kelsey Cutter, Who Worked in Spokane, Seattle and California
    Kirtland Kelsey 1860-1939 Cutter he Arts and Crafts movement was a powerful, worldwide force in art and architecture. Beautifully designed furniture, decorative arts and homes were in high demand from consumers in booming new cities. Local, natural materials of logs, shingles and stone were plentiful in the west and creative architects were needed. One of them was TKirtland Kelsey Cutter, who worked in Spokane, Seattle and California. His imagination reflected the artistic values of that era — from rustic chapels and distinctive homes to glorious public spaces of great beauty. Cutter was born in Cleveland in 1860, the grandson of a distinguished naturalist. A love of nature was an essential part of Kirtland’s work and he integrated garden design and natural, local materials into his plans. He studied painting and sculp- ture in New York and spent several years traveling and studying in Europe. This exposure to art and culture abroad influenced his taste and the style of his architecture. The rural buildings of Europe inspired him throughout his career. One style associated with Cutter is the Swiss chalet, which he used for his own home in Spokane. Inspired by the homes of the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland, it featured deep eaves that extended out from the roofline. The inside was pure Arts and Crafts, with a rustic, tiled stone fireplace, stained glass windows and elegant woodwork. Its simplicity contrasted with the grand homes many of his clients requested. The railroads brought people to the Northwest looking for opportunities in mining, logging and real estate. My great grandfather, Victor Dessert, came from France and settled in Spokane in the 1880s.

  • KIRTLAND CUTTER: Architect in the Land of Promise
    KIRTLAND CUTTER: Architect in the Land of Promise. By Henry Mathews. (Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1998. 448 pp. $60.00.) Reviewed by Louise H. Ivers. Henry Matthews' book about Kirtland Cutter gives insight into the work of a prominent western architect whose career has been previously neglected by historians. According to the author, "One major aim of this monograph is to establish him as a western architect whose contribution should not be overlooked by those studying American architecture as a whole." (p. 4) Certainly Matthews' research proves that Cutter's work, although not avant-garde, fits directly into the mainstream of American design during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. His buildings are derivative of period styles, similar to those of Myron Hunt, whose important role in southern California has already been defined by an exhibition and illustrated catalogue of his structures. In one of Cutter's few written statements he revealed his philosophy of architecture: "Modern Domestic architecture has sought to assemble the ideals of every age and Nation, and adapt them to the enormously expanded tastes and requirements of modern civilization. From the traditions and customs of all ages, we have claimed the best." (p. 112) Cutter, like Hunt, designed houses, hotels, and a college campus. He was a pioneer in the Mission Revival style when he built the W. J. C. Wakefield house in 1897-98 in Spokane, Washington, probably the first one in this mode in the state. He modified and simplified the concepts of this type of architecture when he moved to Long Beach, California in 1923 and began designing homes in the new Palos Verdes development in what became known as the Mediterranean or California style.

  • IMPROVING LIVES 125 YEARS and COUNTING the YEAR WAS 1889 the Year Was 1889
    ANNUAL REPORT 2013 EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES IMPROVING LIVES 125 YEARS AND COUNTING THE YEAR WAS 1889 The year was 1889. Washington was soon to declare statehood. The thriving community of Spokane Falls was the hub of the Inland Northwest region with nearly 20,000 residents. The streets of the city were bustling with commerce, from hotels and banks to department stores and restaurants. Then tragedy struck. The Great Fire of 1889 wiped out the wooden buildings in the heart of downtown and the city was dark...but only for a short time. The resourceful, innovative and dedicated employees of the newly formed Washington Water Power Co. rewired the city core overnight with whatever wire they could nd — barbed to baling — so the city could start rebuilding the very next day. This is the foundation upon which our company is built. Washington Water Power (WWP), now known as Avista, remains committed to its legacy today and for the future — empowering communities and improving lives...for 125 years and counting. 2 DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS: AS WE EMBARK ON OUR JOURNEY TO THE NEXT 125 YEARS OF SERVICE, AVISTA CONTINUES TO MEET THE GROWING ENERGY NEEDS OF OUR CUSTOMERS BY ASSURING THAT OUR COMPANY’S OPERATIONS ARE RELEVANT TO A RAPIDLY CHANGING SOCIETY. Our strength comes in our ability to recognize emerging trends, and then to use our intuition, knowledge and persistence to assure they bring value to our customers and our investors. In this letter I want to give you a summary of our nancial results for 2013 and some thoughts about what we see in our future.

  • 2Nd Birthday on March 21St, Serving Cake and 62¢ Coffee All Day
    As promised at the February 18th Society program, Tim Tweten, restaurant owner, celebrated Burs 62nd birthday on March 21st, serving cake and 62¢ coffee all day. The staff and patrons alike are anxious to see the results of the remodeling of the restaurant planned later this year, including the kitchen, main dining area and meeting room. It’s all part of Tim’s plans to upgrade his six-restaurant business. Jeanne McGinnis Emmons, the original owner of The Lakewood Coffee Shop that morphed into Burs in the 1970s, explained how she and her late husband, Al, wanted to provide a place for the “working man” to have a place of his own. Although many residents patronized The Terrace at the Colonial Center, The Lakewood Coffee Shop was the spot that appealed to many patrons who wanted something not quite as upscale as the Terrace. The two restaurants were, briefly, the only ones in the area. During the intervening years Burs remains a local favorite—some patrons have their own spot at the counter—one designed with a special “curve” to accommodate one patron’s “girth”. Talk about making your clientele comfortable! Today the banquet room, just off the main dining area, is the setting for Lakewood United and Lakewood Chamber of Commerce gatherings. Take time to note the replica of the DeHavilland Seaplane that hangs from the ceiling. That’s another Lakewood story. Burs, on Steilacoom Boulevard, is one of half a dozen long-time area restaurants that Tweten owns, and the one in Lakewood is especially popular with his patrons.

  • Kirtland Cutter: Architect in the Land of Promise
    Henry Matthews Kirtland Cutter: Architect in the Land of Promise Seattle and London: University of Washington Press in association with Eastern Washington Historical Society, Spokane, 1998, x + 438 pp, 265 b/w illus. $60.00, ISBN 0-295-97609-8. In 1889, following a disastrous fire, but bolstered by a gold rush and a thriving agriculturally based economy, Spokane, Washington, was growing. Its business elite were anxious to rebuild in a way that could boost the town's reputation and prominence, and a whole group of enterprising builders and architects were ready to respond to Spokane's booming industrialized and mercantile needs. Into this promising context came Kirtland Kelsey Cutter (1860-1939), an architect who was descended from two well- educated and well-placed families in Cleveland. Using his innate talents and art training, he began an architecture firm and developed it into one of the foremost offices in the Pacific Northwest. By the end of his career (which ultimately carried him to southern California), Cutter had designed several hundred buildings that helped establish Spokane as a place to rival Seatde and Portland in the quality of its architecture. Henry Matthews, an architect and architectural historian who teaches at Washington State University in Pullman, has brought together archival material from Cutter's office, along with interviews with clients and associates, to produce this solid book about Cutter's life and work. Organized chronologically, and well illustrated, the story begins with an account of Cutter's ancestors-explorers, naturalists, and business people-and continues through his own education as a painter.
