MARCH 18, 1975 CONTINUED
A motion was made by Councilman Wray, seconded by Councilman Hordyk and un-
animously carried to take from the table the Ordinance revising fees at the
Sanitary landfill.
I
Acting Manager Warder informed the Council that an Ordinance revising fees
at the Sanitary Landfill was not prepared for presentation at this time;
that it is his recommendation that the cost of compacted waste at the Landfill
be increased from $1.25 to $2.00; that a fee of $.25 be charged for passenger
car tires, $1.00 for truck tires, $.50 for appliances, and $1.00 for junk
cars; that the collection rate within the City be raised from $1.50 to $1.75;
and that this item be tabled to a dinner work session with the County Commis-
sioners, County Public Works Director Leach and Mr.Warder. A motion was
made by Councilman Lukey and seconded by Councilman Wray to approve the recommended
dinner work session with the County Commissioners for the purpose of discussing
Sanitary Landfill operations. Councilman Hordyk recommended an executive
work 'session would be in order. Councilman Lukey amended his motion to change
the dinner work session to an executive work session and the amendment was
seconded by Councilman Wray. The motion as amended was unanimously carried.
County Commissioners' Caulkins and Knapman were in attendance and an executive"
work session was mutually scheduled for Monday, March 24, 1975 at 7:30 P.M.
in the City Manger's Office. The issue of allowing individual City residents
use of the Landfill for normal refuse disposal at no charge was brought before
the Council by Councilman Lukey and it is his recommendation this practice be
continued. After considerable disEussion it was the Council's consensus of
opinion this issue should be referred to the executive work session.
I
A motion was made by Councilman Hordyk and seconded by Councilman Wray to deny
the request of Dr. Jorgen Quistgaard, 715 South Alder Street for the vacation
of a portion of Wolcott Street abutting his property. The Planning Commission
recommen~dthis vacation be granted with the City selling this land at one-half
of the appraised value and retaining all utility rights. The subjects of
street vacation in general, future street extension, greenbelts, and the
portions of Wolcott Street previously vacated were discussed. A motion was made
by Councilwoman Ross, seconded by Councilman Haguewood and unanimously carried
to table this subject for additional information and consideration.
A motion was made by Councilman Wray and seconded by Councilman Olson to
concur with the Planning Commission's recommendation and approve David P.
Binford's request to operate a retail and wholesale photographic shop, including
film processing, at 230 West 8th Street which is in the CSD-Cl lone. A dis-
cussion was held regarding the adequacy of parking at this particular business
location. A motion was made by Councilman Hordyk and seconded by Councilman
Lukey to table this request for clarification of the parking situation.
Councilman Olson voted "NO" on the amended motion. All other Council members
voted "AYE." Motion carried.
A motion was made by Councilman Hordyk, seconded by Councilwoman Ross and
unanimously carried to concur with the Planning Commission and City Engineer
Warder's recommendation and approve Johnnie Key's final plat of Hawthorne II
Subdivision.
I.
The next item taken ~nder consideration was Juanita Jacobs application to the
Planning Commission for a Conditional Use Permit for a 10-unit rest homel
utility apartment for Christian Science,members on property located in the
RS-7 residential lone. A public hearing on this request was held before the
Planning Commission on March 10, 1975. Mayor Basom requested Attorney Taylor's
legal opinion regarding subject request. Attorney Taylor, who was also present
at the Planning Commission hearing, stated that in his opinion he thought a
Conditional Use Permit could legitimately be granted for this particular
request based on the information presented at the hearing. The Planning Comm-
ission recommended approval of this Conditional Use Permit for an apartment
open to a specific segment of the population, with the con~tions that the
City retain easements for sewer and utilities, and the site comprises at least
two acres of land. Attorney Richard J. Niichel, representing the owner of the
property in question Juanita Jacobs, addressed the Council. Mr. Niichel stated
the City's Zoning Ordinance contains provisions rest homes, nursing homes, churches,
hospitals and sanitariums. The proposed users of this property are church connected.

MARCH 18, 1975 CONTINUED
To categorize the intended use of the proposed structure Mr. Niichel referred
to the City Zoning Ordinance No. 1709, Article XI, Sec. 10, Uses, and Sec. 2,
paragraph 1, Interpretation. He fully described all aspects of this intended
project and his interpretation pf the intention of the City's Zoning Ordinance.
He stated three area residents appeared at the Planning Commission's public
hearing with one resident objecting to the application. Councilman Hordyk
questioned Mr. Niichel 's interpretation of the definition of "Conditional Use"
as defined in the zoning Ordinance. A motion was made by Councilman Lukey to
concur with the Planning Commission's recommendation and approve the Conditional
Use Permit application. The motion died for lack of a second. A motion was I
made by Councilman Hordyk and seconded by Councilman Haguewood that the appli-
cation for, a Conditional Use Permit by Juanita Jacobs be denied. Mr. Niichel '
requested to be heard at this time for purpose of the record. He stated all
the conditions for application to the Planning Commission for a Conditional
Use Permit have been met, a public hearing was held and appropriate evidence
was taken; that it is his contention that if the Council intend to overturn the
action.- of the Planning Commission, it is necessary for the Council to hold a
public hearing for public input on this request. Also for public record
Mr. Niichel requested Councilman Haguewood state whether he felt a conflict of
interest existed on his part .in this matter due to the location of his residence.
Councilman Haguewood stated he did not feel he had any conflict of interest, in
his opinion this request is "spot" conditional use. Mr. Taylor stated in his
opinion the Council do not have to hold an additional public hearing on this
matter; the hearing is before the Planning Commission; they submit their recommen-
dation to the Council and the Council has the right and authority to take action
on that recommendation. Councilman Olson expressed his justification for his
vote for the record. On called vote on the motion that this request be denied,
Councilmen Haguewood, Hordyk, 01 son and Wray voted "AYE". Councilman Lukey
voted "NO". Councilwoman Ross abstained from voting. Motion carried.
A motion was made by Councilman Hordyk, seconded by Councilman Olson and un-
animously carried to accept and place on file the minutes of the Port Angeles

Haguewood and unanimously carried to postpone the petition indefinitely.

A motion was made by Councilman Lukey, seconded by Councilman Haguewood and un-

carried to accept and place on file the February reports for Fire, Municipal Judge,
Park and Recreation, Police and Utilities; and the Out-of-town reports of Johnson,
Stewart and Honnold.
Charles P. Willson addressed the Council re the proposed Peabody Heights Improve-
ment stating that although he favors the L.I.D. he would like the City's position
defined regarding rights-of-way, platted streets and street vacations. Attorney
Taylor stated he has an Attorney General Opinion and the State Supreme Court
rulings relating to this question. In his opinion, as nearly as he can tell .from
the Attorney General's opinion and the Court rulings, the City has the right to
some more than just the actual traveled road surface, the addition being the amount
the City actually needs in easements on an individual area or street basis. In
Mr, Willson's opinion, the City should only claim curb to curb and in addition the
requi red util i ty easement. '
