NEW BUSINESS & DISCUSSIONS
1) Update for Council for the 501c(x) and potential Manson Incorporation Study. – Mike
2) Update from CCCD on upcoming “Totem Pole Road Improvement Project.” – Tiffany or Deanna
3) Update from CCCD Discuss the progression of potential changes to the existing Short Term Rental (STR) Codes within Chelan County. – Tiffany or Deanna
4) CITY OF CHELAN Ag Tourism/New STR Code: The City of Chelan Ag Tourism issue has morphed into a new code for Ag-Based STRs. The new code, as proposed, would allow 2 STRs for any lot in the SUD zones in Chelan that is at least 2.5 acres in size with at least 50% of the lot in agriculture. STRs are not currently allowed at all in these zones. Keep in mind that these changes will affect the Chelan Manson highway traffic and Manson residents as well. The Chelan Planning Commission will continue its discussion of the proposed code at their next meeting on September 18th at 6PM at City Hall. Public attendance by all valley residents is highly encouraged.
5) Two homeowners asked Chelan County to consider moving the boundary of Manson UGA to include their properties, which are currently Commercial Ag. The County discussed and denied the homeowners. The Manson UGA stays put.
NEXT MEETING: Our next meeting will be a COMMUNITY FORUM held at North Shore Bible Church’s “Sower’s Hall” on October 15, 2024 @ 6:00 PM. This Forum will take the place of our regularly scheduled MCC Mtg.

OLD BUSINESS
1. COMMUNITY SURVEY REVISITATION Discuss Community Forum with “dot board” charts instead of an online or printed survey. Would Manson Chamber want to partner with us in this if we do a Forum to discuss downtown improvements with the community? The Parks Department to discuss upcoming waterfront improvements? Manson Fire Department to discuss details of upcoming levy? The Colville Tribe to discuss new casino and hotel? Suggested format would be to give each group 15 minutes to present and then at the end of each discussion give each group another 10 minutes to answer audience questions, then move on with the next group.
2. 501C-3 vs C6: Understanding the differences between them and discussing what MCC could potentially qualify for. (Mike)
NEW BUSINESS
1. CHELAN COUNTY UPDATE ON SURVEY MARKERS SHOWING PROPERTY BOUNDARIES & RIGHT OF WAY ON PEDOI. Update on survey markers placed by County showing property boundaries & right of way on Pedoi. Discuss what comes next to improve parking, hopefully for this summer.
Comment from Eric Pierson, Director/County Engineer: “Our plan for the area is to talk to the adjacent property owners and work to clear/provide approximately 10 ft of room on that side for people to move off the road when parking. It will not be full clearing of the right of way along the full length of the road. We also will not do any clearing around the corner of Pedoi and Harris because we do not want to encourage parking in that location. We are working this into our schedule so hope to get out there soon when time allows before the busy season.”
