I'under the head of u~finished business, Councilman Wolfe, Chairman of the committee appointed to
study the parking strip parking at the Olympic Motel reported that after study it is felt that ther1e
are two possible solutions. To eliminate four units making them into street level garages or to ,I

in this area until the Council resolves the problem, and that Mr. Jarvis submit to the Planning

of this area; plan to be submitted within th~rty (30) days.

The City Attorney reported that he has received an opinion from the Chief Examiner of the Division
of Municipal Corporations regarding the City Light Department purchasing, installing and taking I
down Christmas decorations. It is the examiner:s opinion that this would not be proper expenditure
jOf public funds. During the discussion which followed, Councilman Willson reported that the Chambe~
of Commerce has loaned the Merchants Association the money to payoff the creditors for the decora-I
tions. The high cost of installing and taking down the decorations for 1962 was cited, and the
opinion expressed that the job could and should be done less expensively in the future.
,Pursuant to Council action at the previous meeting dispensing with soft drink licensing, the fOl-,
:lowing ordinance was introduced and read in full:
i
I
,
ORDINANCE NO. 1513
AN ORDINANCE repealing Section 16.33 of the Code of the City of Port Angeles with
reference to licensing persons selling nonintoxicating beverages.
lIt was moved by Councilman Willson that the foregoing ordinance be adopted as read. Seconded by
Councilman Smith and unanimously carried.
,IThe report on estimated cost of servicing the Ahlvers Road residents with City water was read and
idiscussed. The estimate of $5,700.00, as given to the residents of the area was based on a 4 inch
I line. The Water Superintendent and Director of Public Works feels that a 2 inch main would be
adequate until the area builds up, then an 8 inch main should also be installed. The proposed I
I route calls for tapping the High School's 8 inch fire main, for which permission has been granted, [,
running south along Grace Street to Ahlvers Road then west to the section line. A pump at Park
, and Grace Street intersection would be required. The estimated cost of installation of 2 inch piPe'
I along this route is $6,000.00. After considerable discussion regarding financing this installatior;i"
and whether it can be accomplished this year (1963), it was moved by Councilman Cornell that Mr. II
Warder study this problem and report at the next meeting. Seconded by Councilman Wolfe and carried.
,
The report from the Light Department on cost of installations to service this area with electricalJ
power was read and discussed. The estimated cost of installation is $3,130.00 plus $760.00 for I
I'street lighting luminaires (including labor). It being the general feeling that since these
,people in this area are inside the City, therefor entitled to City service, it was moved by Coun-
'cilman Haguewood that City light service be ext~~ded to this area. Seconded by Councilman Wolfe
and unanimously carried. .
Regarding the loading zone requested by Anderson Ford Co. and Samuelson-Randklev Tire Center, Firs
and Lincoln, the Chief of Police recommended a loading zone be established by resolution on Linco~
Street, North of First on the East margin in front of Anderson Ford Co., which would be in front 0~1
the shop door. It was moved by Councilman Smith to concur with the Police Chief's recommendation J
I and a loading zone be established by resolution at the location indicated. Seconded by Councilman
Wolfe and unanimously carried. !
, ,
I. Minutes of the Planning Commission meeting, May 7, '1963 were read. The Planning Commission unani-
mously recommended that the petition for annexation to the City of an area in the Mount Angeles
,Road, as drawn,_be denied due to there being so much unoccupied acreage and a long narrow strip of
land along the Mount Angeles Road south to Scribner Road included in the petition. A new petition
covering an area which does not exteridso far south, also a southern boundry line which would tend
to straighten the City limit lines in this area was suggested. It was moved by Councilman Willson
that the recommendation of the Plann~g Commission be accepted, the original petition be denied
with the understanding that a new petition will be presented. Seconded by Councilman Haguewood
and carried.
