The Washington 'State Department of Fisheries has approved a (Continued) recreational trail plan with 150-foot natural vegetation buffers for the ravine floor area of the subject site. 12. The applicant indicates that Ennis Creek Estates is planned to take advantage of and enhance the natural amenities to create a residential park development, while preserving these natural amenities and emphasizing the protection and conservation of the Ravine. 13. It is intended that Planned Residential Developments will result in a residential environment of higher quality than traditional lot-by-lot development by use of a design process which includes within the site - design all the components of a residential neighborhood, such as open space, circulation, building types, and natural features, in a manner consonant with the public health, safety, and welfare. 14. The PRD is served by DelGuzzi Drive and utility improvements made through LID g211. 15. The total area of landscaped yards and community play areas and recreation facilities provides for greater than 30 % of the PRD site areas as usable common open space. 16. Lot 2 open space recreation area provides for approximately 35 % of the PRD site as additional undisturbed or common usable open space. 17. Approximately 23 acres (62% of the site) is left in its relatively undisturbed natural vegetation state. 18.

The applicant's representative testified that the proposed planned residential development closely approximated a preferable plan submitted by an opposing party during their testimony. 21. The location of the 36-unit building on Lot 39 is prominent to the travel corridor of DelGuzzi Drive and uses found on other lots in the PRD. Conclusions: A. The proposed Ennis Creek Estates is consistent with the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan and in particular the following goal and policy statements: "A community of viable neighborhoods and a variety of opportunities for personal interaction, fulfillment and enjoyment, attractive to people of all ages, characteristics and interests." 'Residential developments should allow Planned Unit Development techniques where emphasis is on the overall density of the development rather than individual lots or dwelling units. Standards should be established to assure access and services adequate for the density and type of residential development proposed." "Building density should decrease as natural constraints, such as slope, drainage and soil conditions, increase." "High density development should be allowed in areas which would provide aesthetic amenities or suburban environmental characteristics to a larger percentage of the population, provided such development would not have adverse impacts on the surrounding low density development." "Wherever possible, unique environmental and topographic features should be preserved." "Natural topographic conditions and soil conditions should be a major determinant of the intensity of development of all areas of the community." 1877 CITY COUNCIL MEETING April 2, 1991 LEGISLATION B. The proposed density of the PRD meets the allowances in Section (Continued) 17.70.060 and should be approved consistent with mitigation measures of environmental impacts, Comprehensive Plan Policies, and Planned Residential Development purposes. C. The usable common open space provided by the PRD exceeds the required 30% and preserves on-site the unique natural feature of Ennis Creek. D. The proposed development, as conditioned, creates a residential environment of higher quality than that normally achieved by traditional development of a subdivision. E. Ttwough buffers of undisturbed natural areas, landscaping, fencing and attached and detached single-family uses, the PRD will be compatible with adjacent existing and future uses and developments. F. All necessary municipal utilities, services, and facilities, existing and proposed, are adequate as conditioned, to serve the proposed development. G. The proposed street system is adequate for the anticipated traffic levels and functionally connected to a principal arterial. H. Phasing of PRD improvements is not proposed, although individual buildings may be developed in phases. I. The proposed uses and lots satisfy the requirements for conditional use permit and subdivision approval. J. Provisions for continuous maintenance and ownership of common open space areas and common and private PRD facilities shall be assured by the covenants, restrictions, and conditions in the homeowners' association. K. The public use and interest will be served by the Planned Residential Development and the platting of the subdivision, which make appropriate provisions for the public health, safety, and welfare. L. The project density should be reduced from that approved by the Planning Commission to create a residential environment of higher quality than traditional lot-by-lot development, a variety of housing opportunities within the neighborhood, and less disturbance of fish and wildlife habitats. M. The overbearing character and scale of the 36-unit structure on Lot 39 has been redesigned to avoid dominating the residential environment being created for the PRD. Councilman Nicholson seconded the motion. After limited discussion, Council Hallett called for the question and a vote was taken on the motion which carried unanimously. In response to an inquiry from Councilman Hallett as to when this matter will return to Council, Attorney Knutson stated that the Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing on the f'mal PRD which will then be forwarded to Council for consideration.

Council requested that staff updates be provided periodically to keep Council aware of the project status. Councilman Hallett inquired as to when Councilmembers could discuss this matter publicly.

The motion was seconded by Councilman Wight. Lengthy discussion involved the language of the contract and the lack of reference to the potential housing of senior services.
