There being no public comment, she then closed the public hearing and read the Ordinance by title, entitled ORDINANCE NO. 2584 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles annexing approximately 23.21 acres into the City of Port Angeles. Councilman Ostrowski moved to adopt the Ordinance as read by title, citing the following findings and conclusions: Findings: (1) Public notice of public hearing as required by the Port Angeles Zoning Code and the Revised Code of Washington has been given; (2) The Port Angeles SEPA Responsible Official has issued a Determination of Non-Significance for the proposed annexation, fulfilling the City's responsibility under the State Environmental Policy Act; (3) The proposal would annex approximately 23.21 acres along the southern end of the Tumwater Truck Route into the City of Port Angeles; (4) The proposed annexation area is bordered on three sides by the City of Port Angeles; (5) The annexation area includes a portion of the Tumwater Creek Ravine, which is identified by the Port Angeles Environmental Policy Ordinance as a sensitive area; (6) The annexation area is currently zoned Light Industrial (M-2) and Urban Residential 1 (UR-l) by Clallam County; (7) The Port Angeles Department of Public Works has stated that the City's sanitary sewer system would have to be extended to the annexation area and that the existing water and road system may have to be upgraded prior to issuance of building permits in the area; (8) One hundred percent of the property owners within the proposed annexation area signed the petition for annexation; Conclusions: (A) The proposed annexation is consistent with the Policies of the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan; (B) The proposed annexation is consistent with the Policies of Chapter 35A.14 RCW.

REZONE REQUEST - RZ-90(02)l - Schneider, et al~ Tumwater Truck Route area: Request for rezone of property designated RS-9, Single-Family Residential, to LI, Light Industrial Mayor Sargent opened the public hearing at 7:26 P.M. -2- 1610 CITY COUNCIL MEETING May 1, 1990 Craig Miller, Box 550, Port AngeleS, rePresenting Richard Hopkins, property owner in the area, requested that the City Council delay action upon the rezone until there can be a review of the environmentally sensitive designation map. That the issue be referred back to the Planning Staff to enable staff to review the subject as it applies to Mr. Hopkins~ property, and the criteria for changing the environmentally sensitive designation. It was his opinion that designation of Mr. Hopkins~ property as environmentally sensitive does not appear to be consistent with the purpose of the Ordinance relating to environmentally sensitive areas, which was to protect the areas immediately adjacent to the various creeks, gullies, or canyons of those creeks. Mayor Sargent asked should the Council choose to delay action on this item, how long would it take before it returns to the Council for consideration. Planning Director Collins stated that based on the information provided by Mr. Miller and his client, staff will review the environmentally sensitive areas map and recommend a modification to the map. The earliest it would be returned to the Council would be four to six weeks. Councilman Wight asked if the Council does not act on this issue, would developmental work occurring in the area be delayed. Director Collins stated he was not aware of any. Mike Grooms, 4108 Newell Road, a resident in the area, stated he has a potential buyer for his property if it is rezoned; that there is a real estate transaction pending. Council and staff discussed with Mr. Miller the procedures in drawing a map for the environmentally sensitive areas, the time frame that it would take to do such an item, and the possibility of doing a separate rezone request. Following this discussion, Councilman Hallett moved to concur with the Planning Commission's recommendation to continue the public hearing to the May 15, 1990, City Council meeting. Councilman Nicholson seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. C. STREET VACATION REQUEST - STV-90(04)i - Lee, Portion of Sixth Street Mayor Sargent opened the public hearing at 7:42 P.M.

Councilman Wight seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. B. Acceptance of Minutes of April 25, 1990 Councilman Ostrowski moved to accept and place on file the Planning Commission minutes of the April 25, 1990, meeting. Councilman Hallett seconded the motion. Following a brief discussion regarding the amendment to the by-laws, the question was called and the motion carried. Mayor Sargent noted that a Resolution was passed by the Planning Commission acknowledging their appreciation to Commissioners Cornell and Glass. She, too, extended further appreciation from the City Council for the former Commission members' dedication to the City. 4. Consideration of an Amended Ordinance for REZ-89(12)9 City of Port Angeles - Oak Street Mayor Sargent read the Ordinance by title, entitled ORDINANCE NO. 2585 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles amending Ordinance No. 2573 by clarifying the legal description of certain rezoned property. Councilman Ostrowski moved to adopt the Ordinance as read by title. Councilman Hallett seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Planning Director Collins noted that the Port has approved the relocation of the Inner Harbor Line and this issue will be coming to the Council in the near future. 5. Parking Variance PKV-90(02)I - John Nelson 116 Railroad Avenue: Request to reduce the number of required parking spaces for a proposed antique mall located in the CBD (Cont'd. from 3-20 and 4-3) Mayor Sargent asked Planning staff why they recommended denial of the parking variance. Director Collins said the primary staff concern was that the requirements of the PBIA should be met, rather than a variance granted. He stated, though one of the Commission's concerns was that antique malls do not require as many parking spaces as do regular retail outlets, the current Parking Ordinance does not make that distinction. Different avenues the applicant may pursue are (1) addressing the Parking Business and Improvement Area requirements; (2) amend the Parking Ordinance to be definitive about antique malls; or (3) apply for a parking variance. It was staff's opinion that the first two avenues would be more suitable. Councilman Nicholson moved to approve the parking variance, citing the following findings and conclusions: Findings: (1) Public notice of public hearing has been given, pursuant to the Port Angeles Zoning Code; (2) The Port Angeles Off- Street Parking Code (Chapter 14.40 PA_MC) requires a minimum of 34 off-street parking spaces for the proposal to use the main floor of the building located at 116 West Railroad Avenue as an antique mall; (3) The applicant has requested a reduction in the required number of parking spaces by 6, to 28 total spaces; (4) The property is located within the Central Business District (CBD) zone, which requires all off-street parking comply with the Off-Street Parking Code, Chapter 14.40 PAMG; (5) The property is located within the boundaries of the Parking and Business Improvement Area (PBIA); (6) The mall will have wide promenade areas; Conclusions: (A) No agency reviewing the proposal identified any adverse impact to the public welfare or that the variance would be injurious to private property or improvements; (B) The antique mall would use less parking than referred to in the Parking Code; (C) Customers would be more likely to be pedestrian-oriented. Councilman Nicholson seconded the motion. -4- 1612 CITY COUNCIL MEETING May 1, 1990 The Council discussed with Director Collins the recommendation made by the Planning Department. Councilman Hallett stated he was in concurrence with the staff; that he preferred amending the Parking Ordinance. Following discussion of the issue, the motion was voted on and carried unanimously. 6. Public Hearing: City Council Draft Goals and Objectives Mayor Sargent opened the public hearing at 8:01 P.M. Jean Fairchild, representing Port Angeles Jet Set Soroptimists Environment _ Committee, stated the Committee recommends that the Council complete the five phases of the Waterfront Trail; continue the beautification project; update the Comprehensive Plan; re-evaluate the environmentally sensitive areas; update the City's Zoning and Code map; develop guidelines for wetlands preservation and develop a mitigation plan for the same; implement the recycling program as soon as possible; develop regulations for clearing, grading and drainage of property that is to be developed, and a mitigation plan for the same; pursue the development of a bike trail; pursue the clean-up of Peabody Creek; and support a State-wide bottle bill. Kathryn Holl, 609 East llth Street, requested that the Council continue their medium priority Goal of 1989-90 regarding animal control/pet population. She encouraged the Council to continue this as a Goal, citing low cost spay-neuter programs and public information programs as public incentives. Erl Hansen, representing the Port Angeles Chamber of Commerce, said he hoped the Council would coordinate with the Chamber the expansion of the Downtown Beautification Program, namely, the expansion of the planter boxes up East Front, East First, and Lincoln Streets. He supported the Council's Goal for continued improvement to the Vern Burton Memorial Community Center as a top priority Goal, and as always to promote tourism. Jerry Newlin, owner of abusiness located at 717 South Peabody Street, requested that the Council give special priority to the maintenance and repair of City sidewalks. Kay Noonan, Box 670, Port Angeles, representing the Tourism Convention Association of Clallam County, stated the Association would like to add emphasis to two areas, both under Community Development: (1) To promote tourism. In addition to promoting local tourism, to have the Council become more actively involved in regional tourism promotion through TCACC and the Peninsula Tourism Council. (2) Regarding convention center options, both public and private, TCACC would support a convention and marketing recruitment program to bring the City of Port Angeles into a twelve-month tourist area. Ingaborg Siller, 106 Apple Lane, was concerned with the development of Lincoln Park. She requested that the Council maintain the roots of the community by repairing the log homes that are located in Lincoln Park. She felt it was very important that the Council direct the City to maintain that part of the community's history. Jon Didrickson, 731 East llth Street, suggested that the Council develop "neglected resources", placing more emphasis on the role that President Lincoln played in the history of Port Angeles by possibly placing a memorial within the City, and also the restoration of the first lighthouse, to be placed at Lincoln Park to be used as a living history exhibit area. He also suggested that a lighthouse keeper live in the lighthouse in order to prevent vandalism. Jim Haguewood, 705 Christman Place, President of the Port Angeles Downtown Association, requested that the Council include the Goals of the Port Angeles Downtown Association as part of the City's goals, requesting that emphasis be placed on the Downtown beach area, upgrading the Pier docking to what it has been in the past, and speed up replacement of the deteriorating planters in the Downtown area. Leonard Bell, 3721 Park Knoll, requested that the Council, in the future, also provide to the public a final evaluation of the Council's Goals and Objectives so people may evaluate the progress that has been made. -5- 1613 CITY COUNCIL MEETING May 1, 1990 There was no formal action taken by the Council on this issue. 7. Consideration of request from Port Angeles Downtown Association for Angle Parking in the Downtown Jean Fairchild, representing the Port Angeles Downtown Association, Chairperson of the Parking Committee, requested that the Council delay action on this item until the Committee can work through some of the problems they have confronted. Councilman Nicholson moved to table the issue. Councilman Wight seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. 8. Consideration of Resolution for Abatement of Public Nuisances Mayor Sargent noted that this issue has been resolved and no action was needed. 9. Request from Jack Glaubert to Appeal Decision Regarding Access to Hi~ Property Jewell VanOss, 1019 East Fourth Street, representing the Soroptimists Jet Set Waterfront Trail Committee, opposed the request of Mr. Glaubert for a right- of-way use permit for vehicular access on the Waterfront Trail, which is tidelands in Port Angeles Bay, east of the Public Pier. Mr. Glaubert has a permit to install 56 two-inch diameter PVC pipes in which he proposes to grow oysters for private use. Ms. VanOss noted that the permit from the Department of Fisheries was approved in September, 1989, to be completed by December 31, 1990. She noted that the permit was approved with eight conditions, one specific which the Committee wanted to address: Work below the ordinary high water mark will not occur from March 15th through June 15th of any year. She stated the Committee was confused about Mr. Glaubertts request for access, which totals 43 days during the period of March 30th through June 13, 1990. Another reason for opposition to the permit is that Policy No. 7 of the City of Port Angeles Master Program states: "The Master Program shall protect the public interest as against private interests, while recognizing the rights of private shoreline ownership. However, exploitation of shoreline areas to the detriment of public interest, shall be prohibited in the limits of the Shoreline Management Act of 1971. Thus, it shall be the policy of the Master Program to prohibit private shoreline uses that interfere with the public use of water area adjacent to those shores. Economic hardship shall not be considered a valid reason for such private use." Also, all vehicular use of the Waterfront Trail should be limited to City of Port Angeles vehicles for maintenance and emergency purposes only. She cautioned the Council that by granting Mr. Glaubert vehicular access, there will be an established precedent, which will make it difficult, if not impossible, to deny other public vehicular access. She suggested that water access was a more plausible use for this activity, and suggested other access routes to Mr. Glaubertfs property. Mayor Sargent noted for the Council's information that the recommendation from staff was to deny the request. Jack Glaubert approached the Council and presented pictures of the activity on Railroad Avenue from 1986 to the present and clarified a statement made by Ms. VanOss regarding work done in the area between March and June, stating he will be working equipment on the beach during that period of time and not the physical activity of farming. That use is not restricted by the Department of Fisheries. Mayor Sargent asked Mr. Glaubert if it was true that the permit issued by the Department of Fisheries was for personal use. Mr. Glaubert responded that was correct. Mayor Sargent asked how many oysters did he personally plan to use. Mr. Glaubert explained there are a number of activities in which he is planning to engage; that he and the Department of Fisheries are attempting to set up a project to see if the water in Port Angeles Harbor i~ polluted or if it can actually sustain the life of the oysters. He stated th~ approximately 20 years ago there was an abundance of shellfish on the tidelands. However, through the years, because of the pollution caused by the mills, they have been decimated. He questioned the intent of the Council to actually lock him out of the property by denying the right-of-way use permit, and questioned whether this would be interpreted as a taking of property. -6- 1614 CITY COUNCIL MEETING May 1, 1990 In response to a question from Councilman Hallett, Mr. Glaubert stated access is available to him through the Haguewood's Restaurant parking lot and the Red Lion, if he packs his equipment in by hand and walks to the site. He stated he is working in a low tide situation and the 92 requested access times are because of the low tides. He stated he has requested that the Council allow him to access the property with the vehicle to allow him to set up the equipment required, and he believed this was a reasonable activity. He did not believe it was a major detriment to those people walking on the Waterfront Trail, but perhaps a curiosity to the public. He stated he would not need to use the property all 92 times; however, those are the periods of low tides. He further stated he is not the only private property owner in the area who has the same situation, not being able to access private property. Attorney Knutson informed the Council it is required to adopt written findings and conclusions in support of its decision. Councilman Wight moved that the Council deny the right-of-way use permit application appeal submitted by Jack Glaubert, based on the following findings: (1) The specific use of a vehicle for transporting of the equipment mentioned is inconsistent with the paramount right of the public to utilize the Waterfront Trail; (2) The vehicular use of the Trail, as requested, would constitute a traffic hazard and would be in conflict with the pedestrian nature of the Trail; (3) The time periods requested are overly broad and longer than necessary for the applied use; (4) There has not been adequate demonstration that it is necessary to use a vehicle for all of the_ times and all of the purposes requested. Councilman Nicholson seconded the motion. Councilman Hallett asked whether the Council is eliminating access to private property, and in such taking away rights. Director of Public Works Pittis replied staff is enforcing a right-of-way use permit which specifies certain criteria for using the right-of-way, as developed. In viewing this issue, Council must consider whether this use would be allowed on a sidewalk within the community. Unfortunately, the area is not developed for a roadway adjacent to the Trail; therefore, all of the use of the right-of-way as it is now, is pedestrian-oriented. Attorney Knutson added that whether or not there has been a taking would have to be determined by a court, but that in his opinion, there has not been any taking of property in these circumstances. Right now, the Waterfront Trail is not appropriate access for vehicles. In denying its use for vehicles, there is no denying of access because it is available for pedestrian access to the adjacent property. The Council had directed Attorney Knutson to inform another property owner in the area that the Council did not want to have vehicular access to the vicinity from the west but that the Council did believe there was a possibility of vehicular access from the east, should the proper permit and necessary engineering be obtained. This position has also been presented to Mr. Glaubert. Attorney Knutson stated that to date, no one has pursued vehicular access from the east. Councilman Hallett asked whether the vehicular access from the east would be separate from the Waterfront Trail. Attorney Knutson responded that the City Council's instructions were that the Waterfront Trail is not to be encroached upon. Director of Public Works Pittis stated the Waterfront Trail does not include the entire right-of-way; that there would be some necessary structural changes that must occur to separate vehicles from the Trail. Councilman Wight noted the normal way for property owners to gain access to property City-wide is to participate in the development costs. Further, that the City is not obligated to provide the right-of-way at public expense. The motion was voted on and carried unanimously. BREAK Mayor Sargent recessed the meeting for a break at 9:00 P.M. The meeting re- convened at 9:20 P.M. -7- 1615 CITY COUNCIL MEETING May 1, 1990 10. Consideration of Bond Ordinance for LIDs 209, 210, and 212, and Purchase Agreement Clerk Maike noted for the Council's consideration a revised Ordinance which consolidates the LIDs to a Consolidated LID No. 1990-1, and pointed out that the interest rate in Section 12 is at 8.25% per annum. Additionally, a revised bond purchase agreement has been received from Piper, Jaffray & Hopwood, setting the purchase price at $98.2 per $100 par amount or 98.2%, plus accrued interest from May 1, 1990. Mayor Sargent read the Ordinance by title, entitled ORDINANCE NO. 2586 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles, Washington, providing for the consolidation of Local Improvement Districts Nos. 209, 210 and 212 into Consolidated Local Improvement District No. 1990-1; authorizing the issuance and sale of Consolidated Local Improvement District No. 1990-1 Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $152,237.56; providing the form, terms, rates, maturity, conditions and covenants of said bonds; providing for the disposition of the proceeds of their sale; and confirming the sale of such bonds. Councilman Nicholson moved to adopt the Ordinance as read by title, and to authorize publication in s,,mmary form; further, to accept and authorize the Mayor to sign the purchase agreement with Piper, Jaffray, and Councilman Ostrowski seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. 11.

Consideration of Resolution accepting State Revolving Funds for Secondary Treatment Mayor Sargent read the Resolution by title, entitled RESOLUTION NO. 7-90 A RESOLUTION authorizing the City of Port Angeles to receive a State Revolving Fund (SRF) Loan. Councilman Hallett moved to pass the Resolution as read by title, and further to authorize the Mayor to sign the agreement between the City of Port Angeles and the State of Washington. Councilman Nicholson seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. The State Revolving Fund is part of the financing for the Sewage Treatment Plant secondary facility design and construction. The loan is applicable up to 5% of the total planning, design, and construction costs. This equates to an approximate $919,000 14-year loan at 4%. 13. Consideration of an Ordinance Creating Exception to Secondary Sewer Assessment Charge Mayor Sargent read the Ordinance by title, entitled ORDINANCE NO. 2587 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles, Washington, creating an exception to the secondary sewer assessment charge. -8- 1616 CITY COUNCIL MEETING May 1, 1990 Attorney Knutson, to further clarify the intent of the Ordinance, added the following to Section 1: ". for which the necessary construction permits .", so that Section 1 would read, in part: ". . new residences that have been pre-sold but for which the necessary construction permits had not been obtained prior to the effective date of Ordinance 2572 . ." Councilman Nicholson moved to adopt the Ordinance as amended. Councilman Ostrowski seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. 14.
