Councilman Wight seconded the motion. Councilman Wight, speaking to Item 4 on the Consent Agenda, permission to call for bids for Landfill equipment, asked whether it would be possible that staff include bids for a used D-7 Caterpillar. Public Works Director Pittis stated staff could bid both options, if the Council so desired. Council and staff discussed this issue at length, with Council suggesting that staff consider the possibility of purchasing a used or rebuilt vehicle. Also discussed was the possibility of contracting out work at the Landfill. Councilman Gabriel stated he would be voting in opposition to the motion because of Item 4, as he believed the Council should consider this item separately, and offered as a friendly amendment that the Council accept the Consent Agenda, with the exception of Item 4. Councilmen Ostrowski and Wight concurred. The amended motion was voted on and carried unanimously. Councilman Wight moved that the Council authorize calling for bids on the Landfill equipment, with the exception that specifications include a used tractor/bulldozer, with the appropriate life cycle cost analysis. Coun- cilman Hallett seconded the motion. Councilman Lemon requested that staff consider privatization of the Land- fill bulldozer/tractor work. Council discussed this issue.

PUBLIC HEARINGS: (Cont~d. from Previous Meeting) A. I.EE STREET VACATION -~ sTV-90(04)i Portion of East Sixth Street Mayor Sargent opened the public hearing at 7:48 P.M. Garrett Thomas, owner of Lot 4, Block C, Cresthaven Subdivision, one of the applicants for the street vacation, urged the Council to approve the street vacation, as requested. Dick Grimsley, 1301 East Sixth Street, stated he was one of the original petitioners for the street vacation request. However, in the current street vacation request, he is opposed to the vacation of any portion which would restrict access to his property, suggesting that the street vacation exclude Lot 11. Councilmen Wight and Gabriel requested staff give an explanation regarding the easement which is to be provided in the street vacation ordinance. Attorney Knutson stated the Council had received a revised ordinance which contains a change to page 2, Section 3, in the description of the ease- ment. The original ordinance, as drafted, included a 15-foot utility easement, which is approximately shown in Exhibit "A". This easement is provided so that the Light Department may have access to an existing power pole. A portion of the easement will require that either the Lees or the Grimsleys give the City an easement over a portion of their property, which is outside of the vacated right-of-way. The other easement which is necessary is to be 20 feet wide for access by emergency vehicles. The revised ordinance is corrected to include that. Additionally, the ordi- nance, as revised, states that the 20-foot non-exclusive easement for ingress and egress shall be granted to the City and does not specifically include the neighboring property owners. In order for the Council to address the private easement issue that has been raised by Mr. Grimsley, the Council would need to add to Section 3, "and to the owners of property adjacent to the right-of-way vacated herein." Further, the location of the 20-foot easement will need to be agreed upon by the parties to the vacation request, and the ordinance will not become effective until the City receives easements which are in an acceptable form. There being no further public comment, Mayor Sargent closed the public hearing at 8:05 P.M. Council and staff clarified the street vacation request, through their discussion of the easement and the impacts that this street vacation would have to the City. Public Works Director Pittis noted that the Public Works Department has determined the property's value to be $1.22 per square foot, which includes the Thomas property. The total amount would be $23,820.50. Councilman Lemon, in accordance with the regulations setting forth compensation for property, determined the compensation amount to be $11,910.25. Mayor Sargent read the Ordinance by title, entitled ORDINANCE NO. 2589 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles vacating that portion of East Sixth Street abutting Lots 10 and 11, Block 189; abutting Lots 17 and 18, Block 190; abutting Lot 1 and the east 30 feet of Lot 2, Block 211: abutting Lot 9 and Block 212, TPA; and abutting Lot 4, Block C, Cresthaven Subdivision, TPA. Councilman Lemon moved to adopt the Ordinance as read by title and amended, citing the following findings and conclusions: Findings: (1) Vacation of the subject right-of-way would place the property on the City's tax rolls and be in the public interest; (2) Sixth Street in this location is undeveloped and unnecessary to traffic circulation in the 1621 CITY COUNCIL MEETING May 15, 1990 area; (3) The Department of Public Works has indicated that the vacation should include that portion of the intersection of Sixth Street and vacated Liberty Street, in that the vacation would negatively impact the owner of Lot 4, Block C, of Cresthaven unless a portion of the property is excluded from the vacation; (4) The Light Department has indicated that an easement across the vacated Sixth Street and Mr. Grimsley's property will be required for access to maintain power poles in the area; (5) The Fire Department has indicated that a 20-foot access road should be maintained to Lots 17 and 18; Conclusion: (A) Vacation of this portion of Sixth Street is in the public interest, provided easements as indicated by the City are provided; setting the compensation amount at $11,910.25; and authorized publication in s,mmary form. Councilman Nicholson seconded the motion, which carried unanimously B. REZONE REQUEST REZ-90(03)i - SCHNEIDER - Tumwater Truck Route area: Request to Rezone Property Zoned RS-9, Residential Single-Family, to LI, Light Industrial Mayor Sargent opened the public hearing at 8:22 P.M. Craig Miller, representing Dick Hopkins, a property owner in the area, stated he is available to answer any questions the Council may have on this issue. Councilman Wight noted the reason the Council is acting on this as two separate issues is to accommodate the interests of different property owners in the area. Planning Director Collins stated there is an additional property owner whose interests are being reviewed in the eastern portion, relative to the environmentally sensitive area and how it is delineated. The westernmost property in the area on Newell Road is included in the Ordinance proposed to the Council. There being no further public comment, Mayor Sargent closed the public hearing at 8:26 P.M. She then read the Ordinance by title, entitled, ORDINANCE NO. 2590 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles rezoning property adjacent to the Tumwater Truck Route from RS-9, Single- Family Residential, to LI, Light Industrial. Councilman Hallett moved to adopt the Ordinance as read by title, citing the following findings and conclusions: Findings: (1) A portion of the property proposed for rezone is currently being annexed into the City of Port Angeles, at which time it will be zoned RS-9, Residential Single- Family; (2) The portion of the property proposed for rezone currently being annexed into the City is now identified by the ClallamCounty Zoning Code as M2 (light industrial) and UR1 (Urban Residential 1); (3) The portion of the property currently within the City limits is zoned RS-9 (Residential Single-Family); (4) The area is characterized by light industrial uses along a major industrial truck route; (5) A portion of the property proposed for rezone is identified by the Port Angeles Environ- mental Policy Code (Chapter 15.04 PAMC) as an environmentally sensitive area; (6) Areas to the north of the property are currently zoned LI (Light Industrial) and property to the west is zoned RS-9 (Residential Single- Family) and RMF (Residential Multi-Family); (7) Public notice of public hearing was given by publication in the Peninsula Daily News and by post- ing the subject property and surrounding areas; (8) The Port Angeles SEPA Responsible Official has issued a Mitigated Determination of Non-Signifi- cance to the proposal; Conclusions: (A) The proposal, as amended, is consistent with the Goals, Policies, and Objectives of the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan; (B) Public Notice, as required by the Port Angeles Zoning Code, has been given, and a public hearing before the Port Angeles Planning Commission has been held; (C) The City's responsibility under the State Environmental Policy Act, Chapter 43.21C RCW, has been fulfilled; authorize publication of the Ordinance in s,mmary form, and move to continue the public hearing on the subject area east of the Tumwater Truck Route to the June 5, 1990, City Council meeting. Councilman Lemon seconded. The motion was voted on and carried unanimously. --4-- 1622 CITY COUNCILMEETING May 15, 1990 3. PUBLIC HEARING: A. ZONING CODE AMENpMENT~i~,ZCA~90(04)I - McNUTT, Central Business & Arterial Commercial Districts: Amendment to Allow Mixed Retail/Commercial Use Mayor Sargent opened the public hearing at 8:25 P.M. Tim Haley, 1738 West Ninth Street, architect, representing Dr. McNutt, presented background on the Zoning Code Amendment request. He provided clarification on the CBD and ACD Zones with regard to mixed commercial/ residential uses, and its advantages to hillsides within the ACD Districts. There being no further public comment, Mayor Sargent closed the public hearing at 8:30 P.M. She then read the Ordinance by title, entitled ORDINANCE NO. 2591 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles amending the permitted uses and side yard setbacks in the Arterial Commercial District and Central Business District, and amending Section 17.26.040 and 17.26.200 of Ordinance No. 2293, and Sections 17.28.041 and 17.28.200 of Ordinance No. 2303, and amending the Zoning Code, Ordinance No. 1709, as amended. Councilman Ostrowski moved to adopt the Ordinance as read by title, citing the Planning Commission's findings and conclusions, as follows: Findings: (1) An application for a Zoning Code Amendment has been received, to allow mixed commercial/residential development with commercial use fronting arterial street, in the Arterial Commercial District and Central Business District zones; (2) The Zoning Code requires the Planning Commission hold a duly advertised public hearing prior to taking action on Zoning Code amendments; (3) The Port Angeles SEPA Responsible Official has issued a Determination of Non-Significance for the proposal. This determination is final and fulfills the City's responsibilities pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act, Chapter 43.21C RCW; (4) The Arterial Commercial District and Central Business District zones are primarily commercial in nature and encourage commercial developments at the street level; (5) The Arterial Commercial District and Central Business District zones currently allow apartments on the second floor or above, which does not require com- mercial development on the first floor; Conclusions: (A) The Zoning Code Amendment would encourage commercial development along fronting streets in the Arterial Commercial District and Central Business District zones; (B) The Zoning Code amendment would allow residential development on the first floor of structures, provided commercial development is provided along the fronting street; (C) Procedural requirements of the Zoning Code relating to public notice of public hearing have been completed. Councilman Wight seconded the motion. Councilman Hallett asked if in adopting this Ordinance there would be any significant changes made to the community. Planning Director Collins stated no; essentially, it allows the same uses which are currently allowed. However, it is changing how the use is defined. The motion was voted on and carried unanimously. 4. Planning Commission Minutes of May 9, 1990: A. REPLAT OF GREEN'S BELLE VIEW ADDITION LBR CONSTRUCTION, Block 6 of Green's Belle View Addition to Port Angeles: Request to Replat Block 6 of Green's Belle View Addition to create fewer, larger homesites. The property is located on Golf Course Road between Third and Fourth Streets, within an RS-7 Zoning District Councilman Nicholson moved to concur with the recommendation of the --5-- 1623 CITY COUNCIL MEETING May 15, 1990 Planning Commission, citing the following conditions, findings, and conclusions: Conditions: (1) Prior to final replat approval, the applicant shall provide electrical service to the replat in accordance with a final design approved by the Port Angeles Light Department. The final plat shall contain the following easements to the City of Port Angeles: (a) The east 7 feet of Lots 1 and 6; (b) The north 10 feet of the east 10 feet of Lots 7, 9, and 10; (c) The south 10 feet of the east 10 feet of Lots 2 and 4; (2) Prior to final replat approval, the applicant shall: (a) Provide sanitary sewer adequate to serve all proposed lots within the replat area; (b) Upgrade Third and Fourth Streets adjacent to the proposed replat and the interior alley to City standards; (c) Prepare and implement a storm water drainage plan; (d) Limit access to Lots 1 and 6 so it is not directly at Golf Course Road; (e) Remove all buildings within the replat area; (3) Prior to final replat approval, the applicant shall prepare a significant tree inventory which identifies all trees (including driplines) outside the proposed building envelopes and/or inside required setbacks which will be maintained during and after construction. The plan shall be approved by the Planning Department and Planning Commission. Findings: (1) Public notice, as required by the Port Angeles Subdivision Code, has been given; (2) RCW 58.17.215 states that the legislative body may approve an alteration to an existing subdivision if the alteration is in the public use and interest; (3) The Department of Public Works reviewed the proposal and indicated that sanitary sewer and storm drainage would have to be addressed; that existing buildings should be removed; that Third and Fourth Streets should be upgraded to City standards, and that access to Lots 1 and 6 should be limited from Golf Course Road; (4) The Light Department reviewed the proposal and indicated that electrical service should be provided and that certain easements should be shown on the final replat; (5) The existing lots are non- conforming with width and size requirements of the Port Angeles Zoning Code, but are pre-existing, non-conforming and could be built on, provided all other dimensional standards of the Zoning Code are met; (6) Third and Fourth Streets adjacent to the subdivision do not currently meet City standards; (7) The Port Angeles SEPA Responsible Official issued a Deter- mination of Non-Significance for the proposal on April 26, 1990, which became final on May 7, 1990; (8) The proposal is to replat Green's Belle View Addition to Port Angeles by creating ten 59 to 64 foot lots out of seventeen 40-foot lots; (9) The subject property is described as Block 6 of Green's Belle View Addition to Port Angeles, as recorded in Volume 1 of plats, page 45; Conclusions: (A) The replat of Green's Belle View Addi- tion to Port Angeles, as conditioned, is in the public use and interest; (B) Procedural requirements relating to public notice and public hearing have been accomplished. Councilman Gabriel seconded the motion. Councilman Hallett requested staff explain Condition 3 regarding a significant tree inventory being done prior to final replat approval. Planning Director Collins stated he believed the Planning Commission minutes were in error; Condition 3 was not a recommendation made by the Planning Commission. Councilman Lemon offered a friendly amendment to exclude Condition 3 as stated. Councilmen Nicholson and Gabriel concurred. Councilman Hallett requested Planning Director Collins expand upon the condition, as recommended by staff. Director Collins stated the rationale of the Planning Department was that if it was not necessary to destroy some of the significant trees which are on the site, because of location of buildings, it was requested that those trees be identified in an inventory to be saved. However the applicant, at the time of the hearing, stated it was their intention to save some trees, but they wanted the flexibility to make the decision as to which trees. The Planning Commis- sion objected to making that a requirement. Larry Leonard, Chairman of the Planning Commission, addressed the question regarding the Commissionfs feeling on the tree inventory. He stated that the Commission did not feel it was the Cityfs right or responsibility to tell a developer what trees to leave or remove in a development project. He also noted some difficulties that the developer had stated during the public hearing with excavating around trees, and the possible dangers that could take place. -6- 1624 CITY COUNCILMEETING May 15, 1990 Councilman Ostrowski agreed that it was a dangerous practice to excavate around trees during development. Councilman Hallett stated that the concept in general is a good one and there are people in the community who feel it is a detriment to take down natural vegetation. In his opinion, this was not an undue requirement, encouraging development with as little environmental impact as possible. He asked if this practice had been followed in any other areas. Planning Director Collins stated this is a fairly standard practice in other communities, to require tree inventories for subdivision and large lot development. Councilman Wight stated he would be voting in favor of the motion; how- ever, he was not against leaving in Condition 3, with the exception of the requirement for approval by the Planning Commission or Planning Depart- ment. This would be a simple strategy to urge the developer to inform the City of their plans. Councilman Hallett stated he was in favor of the Council starting to meet its Goals and Objectives, especially with regard to a clearing and grading ordinance. He felt this condition was reasonable and in the publicWs best interests. He stated he would not be in favor of the motion. Councilman Gabriel stated he would be voting in favor of the motion. Councilman Lemon stated there should be public comment on such issues as clearing and grading. He was in favor of the motion. Councilman Nicholson stated that although he would be voting in favor of the motion, he felt the Council has every right to impose conditions such as this on developers. The amended motion was voted on and carried, with Councilman Hallett voting "No". B.

These standards include height, lot coverage, lighting, signage, and landscaping; Conclusions: (A) The pro- posed activity can be permitted through the granting of a Conditional Use Permit; (B) The proposal is consistent with the tests for issuance of a Conditional Use Permit, as found in Article XI, Section 5, of the Port Angeles Zoning Code; (C) Procedural requirements relating to public notice and public hearing have been accomplished; (D) The development standards of the Office Commercial zoning district are adequate to ensure the pro- posed use is compatible with the surrounding area.

Consideration of allowing "Big City" teen nightclub to have 12-15 years old only events on Tuesday nights Councilman Nicholson moved the request from Mr. Watson be authorized, to allow teens between the ages of 12-15 only, one night a week. Councilman Hallett seconded the motion. Council and staff discussed this item briefly. Mr. Watson addressed the Council regarding a question on the hours of operation. He stated that during the summer months, they would probably be open from 8 P.M. to 11:30 P.M. However, during the school year, shorter hours, approximately 8 P.M. to 10 P.M. Councilman Wight offered a friendly amendment that the approval be for a 1-year period, providing there are no significant adverse reports from City staff. Councilman Nicholson and Hallett concurred. The amended motion was voted on and carried unanimously. 7. Request for funding from Coastal Parkway Coalition (Requested by Councilman Wight) Mayor Sargent provided a brief explanation, stating this is a coalition which is working on the improvement of coastal highways. Other commu- nities have already subscribed and contributed to this coalition. Councilman Wight moved to authorize the expenditure of $300 as a share in supporting the Coastal Parkway Coalition, and to direct staff to answer the questionnaire.

Request from Port Angeles School District for a Joint Effort to Provide Needed Community Improvements Mayor Sargent explained that the request from the Port Angeles School District is to enter into a joint effort with the City of Port Angeles. That joint effort will explore the expansion and addition of some school facilities which are used extensively for both the School District and a multitude of community activities. Manager Flodstrom provided the Council further information regarding discussions between himself and John Pope, Superintendent of Schools, regarding the issue. Councilman Nicholson stated that the joint planning concept fits into the Council's Goals and Objectives. He therefore moved that the Council approve the concept of joint planning; that the appropriate City staff meet with the School District staff and to bring issues before the Council and School Board, as necessary. Councilman Hallett seconded the motion. The motion was voted on and carried unanimously. -9- 1627 CITY COUNCIL MEETING May 15, 1990 10. Consideration of Harbor Line Relocation Application - Relocation for Harbor Line along Central Business District Waterfront Mayor Sargent stated that a letter had been received from the law firm of Doherty, Doherty and Ritchie regarding the Harbor Line and the public trust. Carl Alexander, 1712 West Fifth Street, who presented this letter to the Council, stated he believed the intent of the letter was two-fold: (1) That there is opposition in the community to this issue; and (2) a request that the City not take part. Councilman Lemon asked whether this issue would need to be addressed dur- ing a public hearing. Planning Director Collins stated the Council need only follow the public review process. The intent of the request is to provide the Harbor Line Commission with the City's intentions relevant to the zoning change. The request is to co-sponsor and direct staff to make application for an Inner Harbor Line relocation and the City may simul- taneously begin a zoning change process to reflect a change upon comple- tion of the Inner Harbor Line. Councilman Nicholson noted that the rezone application and the application for relocation of the Inner Harbor Line are two separate issues. Following a short discussion, Councilman Wight moved to approve co-spon- sorship with the Port of Port Angeles on the Inner Harbor Line relocation application and directed staff to complete the application process. Coun- cilman Lemon seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. 11. PUBLIC HEARING: A.

Consideration of Contract for Value Engineering for Secondary Sewage Treatment Design Councilman Ostrowski moved to authorize the Mayor to sign the engineering agreement with Kramer, Chin, & Mayo, Inc., in the amount of $47,300, to provide independent value engineering services, as required as part of the Sewage Treatment Plant design. Councilman Wight seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Director of Public Works Pittis requested that the Council give authori- zation to invite a member of the community, namely in the neighborhood of Harborcrest, to participate in the value engineering process, whether that means spending a week in Seattle or just a day, to interact with the group on the discussions. This will allow the person to address the concerns of the neighborhood on this issue. Councilman Nicholson moved to authorize the expenditure of lodging and meals for a week, if necessary, to allow a neighbor in the Harborcrest area to become a member of the value engineering process. Councilman Ostrowski seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. 13.
