CONDITIONS, FINDINGS, AND CONCLUSIONS IN SUPPORT OF ADAMICH ANNEXATION
- ANX 05 -02:
Conditions:
1. Dedication of 30' of right -of -way along the frontage of McDougal Street is required. The
petitioner understands that road improvement is required to McDougal Street including
paving, a walking path and ditch, and driveway culvert placed to satisfy the City's
suburban standards with any development of the subject property.
2. The annexed area shall bear a pro rata share of the outstanding bonded indebtedness of
the City.
3. Pursuant to PAMC 17.95.110 and Policies B. 1 — 10 of the Growth Management Element
of the City's Comprehensive Plan, the zoning classification of the annexed area shall be
RS -9 Residential Single Family.
Findings:
1. On August 2, 2005, the City Council considered a Request To Circulate An Annexation
Petition submitted by Mr. and Mrs. Mike Adamich per RCW 35A.14.120. The Council
and the petitioners /property owners discussed that zoning of the site would be RS -9
Residential Single Family if annexed, and that the property owners would assume their
portion of the City's bonded indebtedness at the time of annexation. Following the
discussion, it was determined that an annexation petition could be circulated for
consideration per RCW 35A.14.
2. Per RCW 35A.14.120, a petition for annexation must contain at least 60% property
ownership signatures. On January 27, 2007, the Department of Community &
Development received an annexation petition for the subject property signed by 100% of
the property owners. The annexation petition was forwarded to the Clallam County
Boundary Review Board on February 9, 2007.
3. The site is undeveloped, relatively flat, approximately 300' x 700' in configuration., and
approximately 4.94 acres in area. A small area in the southwest portion of the site
exhibits some environmentally sensitive identifying factors but appears to be less area
than would qualify for regulation under the City's Environmentally Sensitive Areas
Ordinances.
4. The Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan Land Use Plan as amended in 2006 was reviewed
in its entirety with respect to the proposed action and contains the following Goal and
Policies that apply and support the proposal:
Growth Management Element Goal B: To ensure the orderly transition of land within the
PAUGA into the City of Port Angeles.
Policy B.1: Annexation of land, which is outside the established boundaries of the
PAUGA, shall not be allowed.
Conditions, findings, and conclusions
Adamich Annexation
2
Policy B.2: Annexation of land from within the established boundaries of the
PAUGA shall be in accordance with the adopted annexation laws.
Policy B.3: Annexation of land, which is not adjacent to and /or contiguous with the
established City Limits boundary -line, should not be allowed.
Policy B.4: At the time of annexation, the City should appropriately classify and
zone such land, based upon the City Comprehensive Land Use Map and
the City Comprehensive Plan. Thereafter, the provisions, restrictions,
and requirements of City Ordinance #1709, The Port Angeles Zoning
Code, shall apply to development of the annexed area.
Policy B.5: Annexation and development of land should be consistent with the
orderly extension of urban services /facilities and in accordance with the
City's Comprehensive Plan and capital facility planning.
Policy B.6: No annexation of land should be allowed in which existing development
cannot meet the established concurrency requirements of the City within
six years from the time of annexation.
Policy B. 7: No annexation of land should be allowed which results in decreased
minimum standards for City streets, water service, sewer service, and /or
electrical service provided to existing residents of the City.
Policy B.8: No annexation of land should be allowed which results in decreased
minimum standards for City solid waste collection, stormwater
management programs, emergency services and /or telecommunication
services provided to existing residents of the City.
Policy B.9: Annexation boundaries should be drawn to eliminate boundary,
interjurisdictional, and service problems.
Policy B.10: Necessary rights -of -way and easements should be obtained prior to or at
the time of annexation.
Policy B.11: The City should facilitate any annexation in a manner that will minimize
financial impact to all residents and businesses.
Policy B.12: The City should annex in accordance with State statutes its urban growth
areas (UGAs) as facilities are extended into those areas and as new
urban development takes place.
5. City utilities located adjacent to the site include water, sewer, and electric. The site is
served with refuse pickup and emergency response services. Further development of the
site will require observance of the City's development standards.
6. Access to the site is possible only from within the City by way of McDougal Street and
Homestead Avenue. Property adjacent to the site (south) is located in the County. The
County property is accessed from Mt. Angeles Road, which is a County road in this
location. Properties located directly west, east, north, and southwest of the site are located
in the City.
7. The site is zoned Very Low Density /Low Density (VLD /LD) in the County which most
closely corresponds to the City's RS -9 Residential Single Family zone. Site dimensions,
location, and neighborhood characteristics correspond to the City's RS -9 zoning. The
site is located in the suburban area of the City. Subdivisions in the area

contain lots that are a minimum 9,000 square foot in area. A few lots in this location are
larger than 9,000 square feet in area.
8. The property owner's intent is to divide the property into residential sites that will receive
City services from McDougal Street or Homestead Avenue.
9. City Departments reviewing the proposal commented that a standard road width does not
exist along McDougal Street west of the site being 30' in width. Annexation of the
property will require the dedication of 30' of right -of -way along the McDougal Street
frontage of the site. Homestead Avenue right -of -way width is 60' in width. The Fire
Department and Public Works and Utilities Departments had no further comment.
10. Notification of a public hearing in consideration of the request for annexation was placed
in the Peninsula Daily News on February 4, 2007. The property was posted on January
31, 200. No public comment was received during the public comment period. The City
Council conducted a public hearing on the matter prior to taking final action on the
annexation petition.
11. A Notice of Intent was filed with the Clallam County Boundary Review Board per RCW
36.93 because the annexation area is less than ten (10) acres and less than two million
dollars ($2,000,000) in assessed valuation. Under such circumstances, the BRB Chair
may declare that review by the BRB is not necessary. A letter of exemption was received
from the Chair of the Clallam County Boundary Review Board on April 13, 2007.
Conclusions:
A. The City's Comprehensive Plan, as amended in 2006, contains policies that encourage
annexation within the Port Angeles Urban Growth Area that was established to
accommodate growth that is expected to occur within a twenty year period of time. The
proposed annexation is a logical extension of the City's boundaries, and is specifically
consistent with Growth Management Element Goal B, and Policies B.1 to B.12 of the
Plan.
B. The annexation petition was processed in accordance with RCW 35.A.14 which defines
the procedure and analysis required for annexation of properties to a Code City. The
provisions of RCW 36.93 (Boundary Review Board) have been observed in processing
the petition.
C. City utilities and services immediately available to the site include water, power, sewer,
refuse disposal, and emergency response services.
D. The site is not functionally accessible except from within the City, and is located within a
pocket area surrounded on three sides by City properties. The annexation will eliminate
an irregular boundary that may have caused interjurisdictional boundary issues and
service problems.
Conditions, findings, and conclusions
Adamich Annexation

E. An annexation of property must be in the best interest of the City and its residents to be
approved. Annexing property owners understand that they will bear their proportion of
the City's bonded indebtedness at the time of annexation and will not become a financial
burden to the City as a whole but will complement the community at large. The proposed
annexation will contribute to a logical pattern of growth expected in the neighborhood
and the City and will provide much needed right -of -way to continue the development of
McDougal Street. The annexation is therefore in the public interest.
