There’ll Be More Space To Put Things With Approval Of Mini-Storage Plan

Development

It’s safe for Valley residents to buy more stuff. The Spokane County Hearing Examiner Committee is making sure there’s a place to put it all.

The committee on Thursday granted a zone change so Peter and Connie Bascetta can build 635 storage units near Interstate 90.

Called the I-90 Valley Express Mini Storage, the Bascettas’ self-service business will cover nearly four acres. It is north of the Burlington Northern Railroad tracks, about a quarter mile west of Pines Road.

For those who are keeping track, the Yellow Pages already lists 19 self-service storage units with Valley phone numbers. They outnumber parks, pizza joints and Central Valley elementary schools.

In other action, the committee:

Granted a zone change so Walter and Joan Sheard can subdivide their six acres into four parcels. A corner of the land, south of 46th Avenue along state Highway 27, was zoned for lots no smaller than 10 acres.

Granted Jan Biela a zone change to put an addition house next to her own home at 402 S. Bowdish Road.
