reviewed the information. Director Pittis stated that the design of the Multi-Modal
Center would be a public/private parmership and would involve possible economic
revitalization of the area. He displayed a drawing which showed all the parking lots
in the downtown area and explained that 41% of the land area in the central business
district consists of parking lots. Some of the existing parking lots could be converted
into multi-level parking structures, thereby opening space for downtown
development. Some potential downtown developers have expressed an interest in
locating state businesses in the downtown area, in particular the area of the old Lee
Hotel, provided the parking problems can be resolved.
Director Pittis reviewed some of the other elements that will come out of the action
plan devised for this project, including redirecting the flow of vehicular traffic and
how parts of the project will be funded. The City Council, Planning Commission,
Port, Transit, Downtown Association, Port Angeles Business Association and private
contributors, such as Victoria Express and the Chamber of Commerce are all
participating fund-bringing stakeholders in this project. The Tribes, the County and
other entities will be brought into the process as things progress.
Thanks to the efforts of the City Manager, Forest Service grants will be utilized in
this transportation project. There has been no negative feedback regarding this
project from any faction. Every effort will be made to get as much public input as
possible on this project An action plan will be brought back to the Council at a later
date. In the meantime, all Council members were asked to inform staff of any
suggestions they might have on this project. It is hoped that infrastructure
construction will start after tourist season this year.

Representative
Request from Dept. of
Health & Human Services Mayor Sargent reviewed the memo from Clallam County Human Services.

Serve on Coordinating It was the general consensus of the Council that the City has no need for
Council representation on this Council. If the County can give a reason why representation
is necessary, this request will be reconsidered.
Manager Pomeranz stated that a letter Will be sent to the County expressing the
Council's opinion in this matter.
City Council Committee 5. City Council Committee Assignments
Assignments
Mayor Sargent noted that the Fire Hall Building Design Committee could be deleted,
and that a committee needed to be formed for the allocation of hotel/motel tax funds.
Councilman Hulett indicated the Public Information Committee shows one
representative; however, two Council members have been attending. Manager
Pomeranz stated that he felt this was a typographical error, and that two Council
members are needed. Councilman Hulett also noted that he is the representative for
the Youth Task Force Committee, and not Councilman Schueler; this correction was
duly noted.
Councilmember McKeown expressed a desire to be on the hotel/motel tax allocation
committee. Councilman Schueler also expressed an interest in this committee, and
stated that he felt this committee needed a large representation from the community.
The Committee could then bring their recommendations to the Council for
consideration. Manager Pomeranz stated that staff will outline a structure for the
Council, and this item can be placed on a future agenda.
Councilman Doyle stated that there is an error on the CFP Committee. He and
Councilman Braun are the committee members and Councilmember McKeown is the
alternate.
Councilman Schueler stated the word "Steering" should be deleted from the Public
Health & Safety Community Networks Committee. He also noted that the State
Legislators have stated that they will not act on the request for a 2 % hotel/motel tax
increase. Councilman Schueler felt more discussion was needed on this issue.
Manager Pomeranz recommended this be placed on the next agenda, as the
Committee that has been meeting on this issue will bring a recommendation to the
Council at that time. Manager Pomeranz also stated that the Association of
Washington Cities is planning on sponsoring legislation that will increase hotel/motel
tax by 3 %.
Excise Tax Refund 6. Excise Tax Refund

Several years ago, while attending an AWC Conference, Manager Pomeranz
discovered that a great number of cities were overpaying this tax. The City
contacted Moss Adams for more information on this issue and hired them with the
Council's permission. It was discovered that the City had been overpaying its excise
taxes since the 1988-1989 fiscal year, which resulted in a total refund of
$139,648.83.

is currently vacant and is bisected by a small tributary of White Creek along with
its associated ravine running north and south. There is also a Category II wetland
located to the east of the Helen Street right-of-way and thus subject to the
requirements of the environmentally sensitive areas protection ordinance (Chapter
15.20 PAMC).

pattern, the resulting short plat as proposed will result in an approximate 280 foot
cul-de-sac which better relates to the natural features of the land and does not
disrupt the overall circulation pattern for the area.
B. The vacation of the subject right-of-ways as conditioned, will help prevent
potential degradation of the environmentally sensitive areas which may result from
development of the original rights-of-way and is thus a public benefit.
C. As conditioned, the vacation of the subject right-of-ways will discourage the
development of impervious surfaces within the environmentally sensitive areas by
preventing public development of the original rights-of-way.
D. As part of the proposed short plat application, the vacation of the subject right-of-
ways as conditioned, will allow the development of the applicant's property in a
manner that both meets the development expectations of the applicant and protects
the site's environmentally sensitive areas.
E. As conditioned, the vacation of the subject right-of-ways is consistent with the
Goals, Policies and Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
As adopted by the Port Angeles City Council at its meeting of January 3, 1995.

Exhibit "D"
Appeal of Preliminary Short Plat Approval Condition - Kaufmann - SHP 94(09)11
Finding:
1. The short plat will result in two lots. The easterly lot will have about 18,500
square feet of area, and the westerly lot will have about 1.08 acres.
2. The northern edge of the site is over the bluff along the Strait of Juan de Fuca and
is an environmentally sensitive area. The bluff runs parallel to and approximately
114 feet from the front property line on Milwaukee Drive.
3. Milwaukee Drive is fully paved to arterial standards from the site east to "N"
Street. There are no sidewalks along the north side of Milwaukee Drive, and
there are sidewalks on the south side of Milwaukee Drive near "N" Street.
4. The Planning Department approved the preliminary short plat on November 1,
1994, and the applicant filed a timely appeal on November 7, 1994.
5. Condition No. 3 was attached to the short plat approval in consideration of
Resolution 8-83 and RCW 58.17.110, which set out requirements including safe
walking conditions. PAMC Sections 16.04.070(A), .090 (B), and 140 (E) also
establish standards for street improvements for short plats. Milwaukee Drive is
currently designated as a collector arterial and is not presently designated as a
school walking route.
6. On the appeal, the Public Works Department has commented that collector arterial
requirements for sidewalks is option for one side. Since the immediately
adjoining City street has no sidewalks on the north side and has sidewalks
installed and planned on the south side, Public Works recommended that a
sidewalk not be required on the north side of Milwaukee Drive and that the City
continue to have sidewalk improvements made on the south side.
7. The City's Comprehensive Plan goals, policies, and objectives were reviewed and
the most relevant statements were found to be Transportation Policies A. 1, 2, and
3; B.10, 15, and 19; Objectives 2, 3, and 9; Conservation Policy B.20; and
Capital Facilities Policies A.3 and 6.
A. The revision to Condition No. 3 on appeal of Short Plat No. 94(09)11 is
consistent with the street standards and subdivision requirements.
B. It is likely under the new Comprehensive Plan policies that the City will be
creating a bike path in the future along Milwaukee Drive and that Milwaukee
Drive will become a minor arterial requiting sidewalks on both sides of the street.
The revision to Condition No. 3 is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan.

Exhibit "D"
C. The revision to Condition No. 3 on appeal of Short Hat No. 94(09(11 is in the
