ITEMS FROM THE Larry Leonard, 1030 Olympus, requested that Item E. 1. be placed before Item A. AUDIENCE/COUNCIL/ 3, as he felt that what happens with Item E. 1. will have a bearing on statements STAFF TO BE made during the public hearing for Item A. 3. Planning Director Collins advised the CONSIDERED OR Council that the intent of the placement on the agenda was to have the Planning PLACED ON A Commission recommendation and public testimony considered prior to the Council FUTURE AGENDA: making a decision on the Growth Management Steering Committee proposal. Mayor Sargent determined that the agenda would stand as written. Art Dunker, 2114 W. Sixth Street, was present to address the concurrency issue. Attorney Knutson stated that the concurrency issue regarding schools, as well as other types of public facilities as provided in the Growth Management Act as potential concurrency items, are all addressed in the Capital Facilities element of the Comprehensive Plan. Anyone wishing to address the school concurrency issue may do so under the Capital Facilities element of the public hearing. Jerry Honnold, 505 E. Ahlvers Road, addressed the Line Extension Policy, Item 9 of the Consent Agenda. Mr. Honnold thanked UAC for readdressing this issue at its special meeting and stated that any City policy or policy revision that allows an individual or business to recover their costs twice is inconsistent with accepted and prudent government financial practices. Councilman Schueler informed the Council that the issue addressed by Mr. Honnold was discussed in depth at the UAC meeting, and the vote on this issue was 4-1 in favor of the recommendation. Councilman Schueler reminded the Council that, at a past meeting, a citizen requested a revision to the bicycle helmet ordinance to allow people with certain medical conditions to ride bicycles without a helmet. Councilman Schueler discussed this with an orthopedic surgeon, and neither of them could find a reason for a medical exemption. If the State passes a bicycle helmet law which contains a medical exemption, the issue will be readdressed. LEGISLATION: A. Public Hearings Appeal of CUP - 1. APPEAL OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT- CUP 94(01)01 - UMBRELLA Umbrella Community COMMUNITY SERVICES: Appeal of a Conditional Use Permit to allow a Services group home in the R$-7, Residential Single Family District.

He reviewed the packet information and highlighted several important points regarding Appeal of CUP - the decision made by the Planning Commission. Using the overhead projector, Umbrella Community Director Collins demonstrated the setbacks and showed why a variance or exception Services (Cont'd) would not be required. Mayor Sargent opened the public hearing at 7:58 p.m. Laurie Hansen-Carl, 2755 Towne Road, Sequim, Director of Umbrella Community Services, provided the background on the uses of the old blue house and spoke in favor of the group home. She also read a letter from a person who has lived next door to a similar group home in the past. She distributed copies of a letter from a woman who served on a local safehome staff for four years and now lives in Anchorage, Alaska, where a shelter that'contains 52 beds is located in the middle of a residential neighborhood, with no problems being experienced. Sue Lyons, 940 Finn Hall Road, Director of Red Cross and a Case Manager for First Steps, has been a victim of domestic violence. She spoke in favor of the group home. Warner Balch, 533 E. Fifth Street, spoke in opposition of the CUP. Mr. Balch stated that zoning and existing conditions do not allow any structure on the proposed site without extensive drilling and testing. Mr. Balch reviewed a report on the property prepared by Mike Harper, a second year engineering student at Peninsula College, under the supervision of John Woolitz, who is the engineering instructor at Peninsula College and Conservati'on District Supervisor. Mr. Balch suggested an alternative to the present site with an existing home on it and distributed copies of his alternatives to the Council. Mr. Balch requested that the location of the group home not be made public. He then informed the Council that the foot print of the projected house as shown by Planning Director Collins was in error and exactly opposite. Laurie Hansen-Carl returned to the podium and explained that the existing house has an addition on it, which will not be moved with the rest of the home. Only the original home will be moved, and a 16' x 24' addition will be added, which is shown on the foot print. This is why the drawings are not consistent. Mr. Balch stated that it is not possible for this foot print, as described by Ms. Hansen-Carl, to happen. Sandy Oliver, 1022 S. C Street, Executive Director of Serenity House of Clallam County, spoke in favor of the CUP. Safehomes have no history of violence. This use would not make the neighborhood an unsafe place to live. Barbara Nason, 94 Bumpy Road, is past Director of Serenity House. Safehomes and halfway houses work miracles and break the cycle of abuse. Children who are not helped become part of the community's problem. Kathy Smith, 607 East Fourth Street, spoke as a neighbor in support of the CUP for this project. She stated that most of the concerns she has heard regarding this project have to do with the building permit and not the CUP. She was confident the Planning Department would make sure all building codes were met. Planning Director Collins assured the Council that no building permit would be issued until all reports are in. Mitigation is not required.

Proposed Capital Facilities Element and Plan and Other Potential Revisions Draft Comprehensive Plan to the Draft Comprehensive Plan's Goals and Policies. Planning Director Collins presented background information, reviewed the time constraints and highlighted the points of differentiation between the Planning Commission and the Growth Management Advisory Committee recommendations. This Plan is consistent with the document reviewed by the Council on April 6, 1993, and Director Collins pointed out the changes which were made. School concurrency has been changed from a requirement to a policy statement. ~Shall~ was changed to 'should~ by the Planning Commission. He went on to explain the changes made to the alternate crosstown route, the change to the priority for the alternate crosstown route, and annexation policies which were added. Director Collins then introduced Senior Planner Sawyer, who is responsible for the documentation and the process, and asked him to explain the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and Circulation Map.

He informed the Council of the consequences of not meeting the July 1 deadline. Meeting Extended Past Councilman Braun moved to extend the meeting past 10:00 p.m. Councilman 10:00 p.m. Schueler seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. After further discussion, Mayor Sargent opened the public hearing at 10:06 p.m. Art Dunker, 2114 W. Sixth Street, a member of local, state and national homebuilders associations, addressed the concurrency portion of the plan and stated that concurrency can almost stop growth and development. He would like to see it removed from the document. He felt that the deadline should be ignored if more work is necessary on the Plan. The State is always missing its own deadlines, and this issue to too important to rush. Larry Leonard, 1030 Olympus, concurred with the sentiments expressed by Mr. Dunker, and felt school concurrency should be deleted from the Comprehensive Plan. He had some questions regarding telephone and cable service, which received explanations. Renee Cochran, 710 Scrivner Road, addressed the alternate crosstown traffic route. She felt the alternate route was unnecessary as Port Angeles is a destination, not a thoroughfare. The real traffic problem is tourists going to the ferry and a lack of 2706 March 15, 1994 LEGISLATION: parking; an alternate route would not cure this problem. (Cont'd) Fred Bock, 192 Brown Road, addressed the transportation section of the Plan. An Potential Revisions to the alternate route is.~ed ~rou~d Morse Creek, as a serious accident or heavy ice on Draft Comprehensive Plan Morse Creek iSOlates Port Angeles both east and west. There is no merit in (Cont'd) bypassing Port Angeles altogether, and these studies are wasted. The City should work with the County to find an alternate route around Morse Creek. Ida McKeown, 2510 W. Tenth Street, a member of the Homebuilders Board and a committee member for the school facilities site plan, concurred with the opinions expressed by Mr. Art Dunker. She would like to see concurrency removed from the Plan. Tim German, 2025 West 12th Street, agreed that studying concurrency was a waste of staff time and tax money. He urged the deletion of school concurrency from the Plan. There being no further testimony, Mayor Sargent closed the public hearing at 10:48 p.m. By general consensus of the Council, it was agreed that a workshop will be held on March 22, 1994, at 6:00 p.m. to review the Comprehensive Plan.

Angeles Road: Appeal of a condition of approval relating to water system improvements. Planning Director Collins reviewed the information regarding this issue. Councilman Doyle expressed regret that the correction to the Council packet on this issue had not been distributed in a more timely manner in order for Council members to review and study the matter. Mayor Sargent asked Director Collins if this item could be deferred to a future meeting in order to give the Council sufficient time to prepare. Director Collins felt it was a simple issue that could be dealt with this evening and introduced Mr. Johnie Key, the applicant, and offered him the opportunity to address the issue. Johnie Key, 1325 Bent Cedars Way, stated that he is making this request because the nearest water is 1354 feet away, and would have to come across private property. It is not financially feasible to install a six inch main for such a small short plat. He would put a six inch main within the subdivision so when an LID goes in, the six inch main can be tied into without disturbing the road surface. Councilman Doyle moved to concur with the recommendation of the Planning Commission, citing the following Conditions, Findings and Conclusions: Conditions: (1) Prior to final plat approval, a fire hydrant with 1,000 gallons per minute flow shall be provided.

Location of drainfields shall be identified.

Water service shall be -6- 2707 CITY COUNCIL MEETING March 15, 1994 LEGISLATION: from an 6' or 8' watermain unless the applicant enters into a non-protest LID (Cont'd) agreement for future upgrade of the waterline, extends the two-inch watermain to serve the short plat, and provides a P.U.D. fire hydrant accessible to the City's Fire Key Short Plat Department located within five hundred feet of both lots in the short plat. Any (Cont'd) homes shall be provided with residential sprinklers; and (5) Prior to final plat approval, the dedicated roadway shall be paved to minimum standards as required by 16.04.140(E) PAMC; and Findings: '(1) Approval is based upon a revised preliminary plat which creates two lots out of Lot 4 of Short Plat (SHP 81(2)01) dated received December 3, 1993; (2) The subject property is identified by the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan as Suburban Residential Environment, which encourages residential development with lots between 9,000 and 14,000 square feet in size; (3) The subject property is identified by the Port Angeles Zoning Map as RS- 9, which allows single-family dwellings on 9,000 square foot lots; (4) The proposed short plat would create two lots in excess of 13,000 square feet. A sixty foot right- of-way is proposed from Mt. Angeles Road to the eastern boundary of the short plat; (5) There are no buildings within the short plat; (6) Mt. Angeles Road is constructed to minimum standards of the Short Plat Ordinance. Lots B and C are currently vacant; (7) Section PAMC 16.04.100 requires that the Port Angeles Planning Director determine if appropriate provisions for public health, safety and general welfare of the community have been made and whether the public use and interest is served by approval of the short plat application; (8) The Port Angeles Public Works, Light and Fire Departments reviewed the proposed short plat and their comments have been considered in the review. Public Works has commented that there are sufficient utilities and rights-of-way to serve the short plat; (9) There is no sewer within 300 feet or the immediate vicinity of the site. The nearest sewer lines are located at the east end of Homestead Avenue and the south end of Wabash Avenue; and (10) The setbacks shown on the preliminary plat sketch do not accurately depict the requirements of the zoning ordinance. The correct setbacks are 25 feet from the front and rear property lines, 18 feet from any side property line abutting a street and 8 feet from interior side property lines; and Conclusions: (A) The proposed short plat is consistent with the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code; (B) The proposed short plat is consistent with the Port Angeles Short Plat Code, Chapter 16.04 PAMC, and the Washington State Subdivision Act, Chapter 58.17 RCW; and (C) Approval of the proposed short plat provides for the public health, safety and general welfare of the community and serves the public use and interest; containing amended condition//4.

Planning Director Collins distributed copies of the GMAC recommended language regarding school concurrency to the Council. Councilman Schueler expressed the opinion that the City has no place getting involved in the school concurrency process as the school district is a separate entity from the City. After brief discussion, Councilman Schueler moved to not endorse -7- 2708 OTY COUNCIL MEETING March 15, 1994 LEGISLATION: the county wide planning policy for school concurrency. Discussion followed (Cont'd) after which Councilman Doyle seconded the motion. After further discussion, a vote was taken on the motion which carried unanimously.
