several departments: Finance, Light, Public Works, Planning and the City
Manager's office. At its meeting of March 5, 1991, Council had given approval to
issue a call for bids for the equipment. Bid proposals were received with prices
higher than estimated at the time of budget adoption. Therefore, some
departments will need to transfer funding from other line items to cover
equipment costs. In no case will this purchase result in expenditures in excess of
total budgeted funds.
Councilman Cornell moved to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to sign a
contract with Pacific Office Equipment for the purchase of Epson
microcomputers and with R & D Industries for AST laptops, Hewlett Packard
laser printers and a large scale plotter, with the prices not to exceed those
included in the recommendation and further, that the remaining four

City Hall stagnation problems in City Hall. With Council's concurrence, City Light has
budgeted funds, engaged a consultant and solicited RFP's to implement the
consultant's recommendations. The low bidder was Schmitt's Sheet Metal whose
work will involve two subcontractors.
Councilman Wight moved to award the bid for installation of an evaporate
cooling air washer and associated modifications to the existing air handling and
distribution duct system to Schmitt's Sheet Metal, Inc., in the amount of
$38,085.74. The motion was seconded by Councilman Cornell. Councilman Wight
asked that arrangements be made in the next budget cycle for the General Fund
to reimburse a proportionate share of these expenses to City Light in view of the
fact other areas will be benefitting from these changes in the air handling system.
A vote was taken on the motion which carried unanimously.

Kneller Residential Single-Family to O~ Office Commercial
Mayor Sargent opened the public hearing at 7:52 p.m.
Ann Madsen, owner of Blocks 11, 12 and 13 on the north side of Caroline Street,
addressed Council by stating opposition to the rezone request. Ms. Madsen

wishes to build a home with an office not to include patient visits, Ms. Madsen felt
the future use of the structure could be changed should ownership be transferred.
Further, Ms. Madsen indicated property values would be lowered by such a
rezone.
Planning Director Collins reported a letter had been received from the Gilliland's
expressing their wish to withdraw their property from the Kneller rezone. They
did not wish to be restricted from reapplying for a rezone within the next year.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
May 7, 1991
LEGISLATION:
(Cont'd) There being no further public testimony, the public hearing was closed at 7:58 p.m.
Councilman Nicholson moved to deny the rezone request without prejudice to the
Gilliland property, citing the following Findings and Conclusions: Finflinos: (1)
There are approximately 11.2 acres of OC-zoned land in the immediate proximity
of the Hospital; (2) There is potential for conversion of less intensive uses, namely
single-family residential and vacant land, to medical offices to serve the needs of
the Hospital. There are 24 single-family houses on about 4.2 acres and about .9
acres of vacant land zoned OC; (3) Single-family residential units can, and have
been, converted to medical offices; (4) Single-family residential units can, and have
been, demolished to make room for new medical offices; (5) There are 5 houses
to the north of this site, on property zoned RS-7, which would be isolated from
other RS-7 areas if the rezone is approved; (6) The future traffic impacts from the
conversion of existing residential and vacant land uses to offices on nearby
residences is unknown. The proposed rezone would increase the potential for
traffic impacts; (7) There is no evidence that the amount of property zoned OC
is inadequate to serve the Hospital; and (8) The property is located on a one-block
dead-end residential street. Conclusions: (A) The proposal is consistent with, but
not necessary to achieve, the Comprehensive Plan Commercial Policy No. 16; (B)
No circumstances have changed in the area which would indicate the original
zoning of the property is no longer appropriate; (C) There are adequate amounts
of land zoned OC to meet the needs of the Hospital for the foreseeable future;
and (D) The rezone is not in the public use or interest.
A vote was taken on the motion which carried unanimously.

day care facility proposed to be located in a RS-7, Residential
Single-Family District.
Mayor Sargent opened the public hearing at 8:02 p.m.
Darlene Ryan, 1217 E. 7th, addressed Council as Co-Chairman of the Youth 2000
Child Care Committee and Principal of Monroe Elementary. Ms. Ryan
referenced a recently completed survey of over 1000 Port Angeles residents on
child care wherein the results indicated there is a great need for child care in the
community. She indicated this is an issue which must be addressed, as it is
important to provide the children with safe, quality child care.
Norma Turner, Chairperson of the Clallam County Council for Children, spoke
in favor of approval of the day care center. She noted City staff had stated the
center was consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and she urged Council not to
deviate from that plan.
Richard Hansen, 221 North Albert, advised Council the neighborhood is not anti-
children, but rather is opposed to the center because of traffic increases and noise
impacts.
Steve Moriarty, attorney representing the neighborhood group opposing the day
care facility, advised Council the group had prepared a presentation inclusive of
testimony, exhibits, video, pictures and the like. The group addressed such issues
as history, noise, traffic, the adverse effect of business on a residential
neighborhood, the negative impact on the area Bed & Breakfast, day care
alternatives which should be considered, financial aspects of the proposal,
architectural design of the facility, the Zoning Code and the Comprehensive Plan.
The opposition group's presentation was submitted by: Dan Hayward, 636
Georgiana; Peggy Hayward, 636 Georgiana; Glenn Wiggins, 702 Caroline; Glendia
Witherow; Genevieve Miller; Marie Wiggins, 702 Caroline; Ed Vanwald, 708
Caroline; and Stephen C. Moriarty, Attorney at Law.

May 7, 1991
LEGISLATION:
(Cont'd) David Large, 635 Georgiana, indicated he does not wish to have this facility with
children in the area.
Suzanne Coleman, P. O. Box 3026, felt children are the most precious asset to the
community. She indicated the traffic is not a problem. Because the day care
facility is an extension of their homes, it is important for parents to feel the
children are in a safe area.
Karen Tauscher, 166 Atterberry Rd., Sequim, taught pre-school at Bo Baggins.
She spoke in favor of the day care facility because of the definite need for such a
facility. She also spoke in support of Jane Childer's abilities in managing day care.
Ed Putman, Department of Social and Health Services, Division of Children and
Family Services, addressed Council by expressing his high regard for Jane Childer's
facilities and her abilities in administering to the needs of the children. He also
spoke of her excellent managerial skills and indicated she does a superior job in
her complaint-free facilities. He then addressed Council as to the many "hoops
and hurdles" necessary in establishing a licensed day care facility.
Debra Hinds, 1001 Mt. Pleasant Road, has two children presently being cared for
at Bo Baggins. She addressed the positive aspects of the facility and encouraged
Council's support of this application.
Robert G. Linkletter, Architect for the applicant, 1324 E. 1st, reviewed for Council
the proposed site plan and indicated the applicant has made every effort to follow
staffs advice in terms of noise and traffic abatement. Mr. Linkletter indicated
more thought would be required when asked by Councilman Cornell as to what
the structure could be used for if the day care should cease to exist.
Brief discussion was held as to Council's prerogative to establish certain
requirements in conjunction with the facility design, noise abatement, etc.
Lorraine Ross, 418 E. Front, spoke in support of the day care facility by noting
there are many schools in City residential areas and this is definitely a type of
school.
Jerry Childers, 3235 Durrwachter Rd., indicated the day care facility would meet
certain requirements as set forth by the City. The environment will be controlled
and the ratio of staff to children is such that all activities would be closely
supervised.
Jean Hordyk, 1122 E. 9th, questioned Council as to why the applicant is seeking
a Conditional Use Permit. Her questions were answered by Councilman Wight.
Jane Childers, 3235 Durrwachter Rd., reviewed her plans to construct a quality
facility for seventy children in a residential area. She felt the children need to be
cared for in the area in which they reside. She referenced the present crisis in
Port Angeles in terms of day care and urged Council to cast a vote approving the
application.
James Clark, 618 Victoria, expressed the opinion that the opposition is not being
selfish, but rather is kind and thoughtful. He felt the day care facility could be
placed elsewhere and he asked Council to agree with the decision of the Planning
Commission.
Irma Schneider, 221 Whidby, supports family issues in this community and felt City
Council should prioritize the issues and support the application.
Guy Tauscher, a resident between Sequim and Port Angeles, views the day care
facility as an improvement of the neighborhood. The proximity to the hospital,
mill and other businesses make it more convenient to parents.
Vicky Holman, 1339 W. 6th, an employee of Jane Childers, spoke to the positive
nature of Jane Childers' other facilities and the positive atmosphere for the
children. She expressed the opinion this particular location is the most suitable
for the day care facility.

Council then addressed itself to the issues introduced: traffic, appearance of the
building and compatibility with the neighborhood, need for day care in the
community, the future use of the structure, Ms. Childer's abilities as a day care
provider, noise, the Zoning Code and the Comprehensive Plan, and the definition
of "neighborhood". In the ensuing discussion, Council considered certain
requirements which could be put in place to assure compatibility with the
neighborhood.
After lengthy discussion, Councilman Hallett moved to approve the Conditional
Use Permit and uphold the appeal, citing amended Conditions 1 - 10, Findings
A - C and Conclusion 1, as follows: Conditions: (1) Hours of operations shall
be between the hours of 6:45 a.m. and 5:45 p.m., Monday through Friday; (2) The

day care center on this property, as conditioned by this permit, will not adversely

environment for children, which is in the public interest.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Wight. Councilman Lemon spoke in
opposition to the motion based on unmitigated traffic impacts and the fact this will
serve as a commercial site. Councilman Cornell expressed ongoing concern with
the traffic impacts as well. Councilman Wight indicated these concerns could
apply to other areas of the community in much the same fashion.
After considerable discussion, a vote was taken on the motion which carried by
a majority vote, with Councilmen Hallett, Wight, Nicholson, and Cornell voting

Vacancies This item was deferred to the May 21, 1991 meeting of the City Council.
General Service 13. Consideration of Ordinance Modifying General Service Rates and Adopting
Rates - New Rate a New Rate Schedule
Schedule -
Ordinance No. City Light Director Titus reviewed certain issues pertinent to modifying the
2637 general service rates. A peak demand charge is assessed on some of the larger
customers in order to assign costs associated with meeting peak power usage
during any given month. The proposed Ordinance is intended to clarify which
general service customers are to be charged for peak demand, with the intention
that only those customers requiring 100 KVA of transformer capacity (which
corresponds to 165 KVA of connected load) should qualify for the demand rate.
Also included in the proposed Ordinance is a time-of-use (TOU) meter which will
exclude off-peak hours from the peak demand charge for General Service Demand
customers. It is recommended the City follow Bonneville Power's lead and not
charge for peak demand during the hours of 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., Monday
through Saturday. Since a TOU meter typically costs more than a standard
demand meter, it is recommended that a customer choosing the TOU meter repay
the cost difference to the City at $5 per month until the entire difference is
eliminated.
Director Titus also reviewed a recommendation concerning the negative impact
of the last rate change on several general service customers. It is felt that a
separate cost-based rate for nonprofit tax-deductible customers offers the best
solution.
Mayor Sargent read the Ordinance by title, entitled
ORDINANCE NO. 2637

Councilman Cornell addressed a presentation made at the last Council meeting

communications took place with Mr. Aldrich. In the ensuing discussion, it was

Public Works Director Pittis reviewed the discrepancies between information Mr.
Aldrich submitted on grant funds available and the information City staff received
