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.

fill bulldozer/tractor work.

2. 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

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

ing the subject property and surrounding areas; (8) The Port Angeles SEPA

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

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

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

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

mercial development on the first floor; Conclusions: (A) The Zoning Code

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.

which are currently allowed. However, it is changing how the use is
defined.
The motion was voted on and carried unanimously.

Planning Commission, citing the following conditions, findings, and
conclusions: Conditions: (1) Prior to final replat approval, the

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

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-

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".

tion; (E) Home Occupation permit extensions are processed pursuant to

ment basis only, as proposed by the applicant, the Home Occupation will
not generate sufficient vehicular traffic to detract from the residential

injurious or detrimental to abutting properties because of the existing
landscaping on the property and the adequate additional paved parking area
on the north which provides access from the alley; (3) As proposed and
conditioned, the Home Occupation meets the development standards set forth
in the Home Occupations Chapter of the City's Zoning Ordinance. Council-
man Gabriel seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.

Commission and approve a Conditional Use Permit to allow the sale of
pharmaceuticals and medical supplies in the OC, Office Commercial Dis-

Permit; (B) The proposal is consistent with the tests for issuance of a

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.

zation to invite a member of the community, namely in the neighborhood of
Harborcrest, to participate in the value engineering process, whether that

on the discussions. This will allow the person to address the concerns of
the neighborhood on this issue.

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.
