Rezone Request REZ-90(07)3 - Ruddell: Request for rezone of property from Residential to Commercial (located west of Golf Course Road) Mayor Sargent opened the public hearing at 7:31 P.M. "Mac" Ruddell, 1134 East Eighth Street, applicant, stated he was available for any questions the Council may have regarding this issue. Everett Winters, 724 East Second Street, submitted a letter to the Council outlining some concerns he has regarding this rezone application. Mr. Winters's main concern had to do with drainage problems in the area, especially in light of the impacts by a large facility. Mr. Winters requested that a study be done regarding the drainage in the area prior to approval of the rezone request. Planning Director Collins responded that the action before the Council is a rezone which does not involve a specific project. The rezone was granted a Determination of Non-Significance in June and no appeals against the Determination have been filed. He noted that at the time a building permit application is submitted, this issue will be reviewed to make sure standards are met regarding drainage in the area. Council discussed with Mr. Winters the problems he has with drainage in the area. Mr. Winters also expressed concern regarding the increased noise from any project which would be located on the site. '2- 1667 CITY COUNCIL MEETING August 7, 1990 Mayor Sargent closed the public hearing at 7:44 P.M. She then read the Ordinance by title, entitled ORDINANCE NO. 2606 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles rezoning property south of Front Street and west of Golf Course Road from RS-7 to ACD. Councilman Wight moved to adopt the Ordinance as read by title, authorizing publication in sl,mmary form, and to approve the rezone, citing the following findings and conclusions: Findings: (1) The rezone is in a commercial corridor identified by the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan and would create a large node of commercial zoning in the area; (2) Golf Course Road, the primary access to the property, is identified as a collector arterial and has been improved recently; (3) The ACD Zoning District contains development standards designed to minimize the conflict between commercial and non-commercial zoning districts; (4) The rezone would not create a new commercial/residential interface, but would move an existing boundary to the south. The existing commercial area has developed or has been identified for development; (5) The rezone area is occupied by a single-family dwelling which will become a non-conforming use; (6) Adjacent residential property owners have testified that the rezone will not adversely impact the residential character of the neighborhood; Conclusions: (A) The rezone request is in the public use and interest and will not cause adverse impacts to the characteristics of the adjacent zoning districts; (B) Circumstances have changed since the property was zoned RS-7 by the City of Port Angeles; (C) The rezone is consistent with the Policies and Goals of the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan. Councilman Ostrowski seconded the motion. Councilman Wight, in speaking to the motion, stated this small portion of property is a logical extension which is appropriate for the Arterial Commercial District zoning, stating the drainage and any other issues will be dealt with during other processes of the property's development. Councilman Hallett was in agreement with Councilman Wight, stating rezones are not project-specific and the rezone should be approved. He requested staff provide information to Mr. Winters regarding the drainage problem. The motion was voted on and carried unanimously. B. Rezone Request - REZ-90(07)4 - Howatt: Request to rezone from Residential Multi-Family to Office Commercial (located at 113 South Eunice Street) Mayor Sargent opened the public hearing at 7:53 P.M. Robert Howatt, 113 South Eunice, applicant, stated he was available to answer any questions the Council may have. There being no further public comment, Mayor Sargent closed the public hearing at 7:54 P.M. and read the Ordinance by title, entitled ORDINANCE NO. 2607 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles rezoning property located at the north- east corner of Eunice and Second Streets from RMF to OC. Director Collins noted an error in the legal description in the Ordinance, which should include Lot 12. Councilman Ostrowski moved to adopt the Ordinance as amended, to authorize publication in summary form, to approve the rezone, citing the following findings and conclusions: Findings: (1) The Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan indicates that commercial areas should be buffered, but not by multiple-family units; (2) The Office Commercial Zone allows a variety of residential and office uses; (3) The rezone area is occupied by a single- family dwelling and a church; (4) The rezone area is located between -3- 1668 CITY COUNCILMEETING August 7, 1990 property zoned RS-7 and ACD; (5) The area to the west of the site has begun to develop commercially, while little redevelopment of the RMF-zoned property has taken place; Conclusions: (A) The rezone is in the public use and interest and is functionally related to the surrounding zoning; (B) The rezone is consistent with the Goals and Policies of the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan; (C) Circumstances have changed since the property was zoned RMF by the City of Port Angeles. Councilman Hallett seconded the motion. Following a brief discussion, the motion was voted on and carried unanimously. C. Appeal of Short Plat SHP-90(04)3 - Abbott: Appeal of Preliminary Short Plat denial Interim Manager Knutson explained to the Council that at the previous Council meeting there had been some discussion regarding the possibility of amending the Short Plat Ordinance in order to provide some type of relief in situations where there are panhandle lots being proposed as part of a short plat. He stated staff has met and considered this issue, and the decision of staff was to recommend that the Council not consider that type of amendment to the Short Plat Ordinance which would provide for discretion to deviate from the development standards. However, another option could be proposed by the proponent with regard to implementing a variance procedure. This would require a new short plat application be submitted and it would follow the variance procedures. Mayor Sargent opened the public hearing at 7:58 P.M. Doug Wood, P.O. Box 1381, Port Angeles, representing the Abbotts, spoke in support of a proposed change in the Short Plat Ordinance which, in his opinion, was very rigid. He requested that the Council consider allowing a variance to be incorporated in the amended Short Plat Ordinance. Councilman Wight asked Mr. Wood whether or not the applicants would be willing to consider withdrawing or tabling the request as a mechanism to enable the Planning Commission and the Council to review an amendment to the Ordinance. Mr. Wood stated if it is possible, that would be acceptable. Mayor Sargent stated a petition has been submitted by the neighbors of Harold and Peggy Abbott, signed by 17 residents in the area. It reads: To Port Angeles City Council, City Planning Commission, City Planner, and Port Angeles City Attorney: We, the neighbors of Harold and Peggy Abbott of 3231 Regent Street, support their effort to divide their one- acre lot into two one-half acre parcels. We feel that the addition of one home in this area on a half-acre site will not change the rural setting of our community. Since these lots that would contain over 20,000 square feet each in an area that is zoned for 9,000 square feet, we feel that consideration should be given for approval of their request or possible change in the Short Plat Ordinance that would allow them to meet the City requirements. The Council discussed briefly with Planning Commission Chairman Leonard the testimony which had been received during the Planning Commission's public hearing, as well as any possibility for the Planning Commission to address this issue. Interim Manager Knutson noted to the Council that a precedent has been set in the past, when the Council denies an application, that it can be withdrawn without prejudice, and the City will allow for a new application to be submitted without payment of the appropriate fees. Following a discussion of the issue, Councilman Hallett moved that the Council concur with the Planning Commission recommendation to deny the Short Plat appeal, citing the following findings and conclusions: Findings: (1) The subject property is identified by the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan as suburban, which promotes residential developments of between 9,000 and 14,000 square feet; (2) The subject property is 1669 CITY COUNCIL MEETING August 7, 1990 identified by the Port Angeles Zoning Code as RS-9, which allows single- family dwellings on 9,000 square-foot lots; (3) The Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan identifies the following Residential Policies applicable to the proposed short plat: Necessary services such as schools, water and sewer, street lighting, power, sidewalks, and police and fire protection should be available prior to or at the time of residential development, not after; [Residential Policy ~4]; - Ail developments should provide improvements such as paved streets, gutters, sidewalks, sanitary sewers, storm sewers, power, water, street lighting, public open space and recreation areas in a manner that is complementary to the character of the four residential environments and in compliance with City standards; [Residential Policy #5]; (4) The proposed short plat would create two parcels of property, each approximately 0.5 acres in size. Neither of the parcels would abut an improved City right-of-way and one lot would include a 15-foot panhandle; (5) The Port Angeles Short Plat Code establishes the following development standards for short plats within the City of Port Angeles which the proposed short plat will not comply with: - Each lot shall abut on a dedicated, improved, and maintained City street [PAMC 16.04.070(1)]; - Panhandle or dogleg lots may be permitted if the original parcel has insufficient width to reasonably provide each lot with a dedicated right-of-way occurring within the interior of the plat, or if there is no reasonable likelihood that standard rights-of-way could be provided in cooperation with abutting properties [PAMC 16.04.070(4)]; - The panhandle shall have a minimumwidth of twenty feet and shall serve no more than one lot [PAMC 16.04.070(4)(b)]; The provision of streets and rights-of-way must be adequate to serve the short subdivision and comply with Sections 16.04.070 and 16.04.140 of the Short Plat Code, as determined by the Departments of Public Works and Planning [PAMC 16.04.090(B)]; - Water supply and fire protection facilities must be adequate to serve the short plat and comply with Section 16.04.140 of the Short Plat Code, as determined by the Departments of Public Works and Fire [PAMC 16.04.090(C)]; Sanitary sewer facilities must be adequate to serve the short plat and comply with Section 16.04.140 of the Short Plat Code, as determined by the Department of Public Works [PAMC 16.04.090(D)]; The short plat lot arrangement must comply with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan and further the attainment of the objectives and goals of the Comprehensive Plan [PAMC 16.04.090(E)]; (6) PAMC 16.04.100 requires that the Port Angeles Planning Director determine if appropriate provisions for the public health, safety and general welfare of the community have been made and whether the public use and interest is served by the approval of the short plat application; (7) The Department of Public Works reviewed the proposed short plat and indicated that the lots would be served by a private roadway, that a proposed panhandle lot is 15 feet wide, that sanitary sewer is by private line, and it is uncertain how water and fire protection would be provided to the short plat; (8) The Light Department reviewed the proposed short plat and indicated that the applicant has not provided an ingress/ egress or utility easement to be property for the installation of electric facilities; (9) The Fire Department reviewed the proposed short plat and indicated that a turn-around for fire apparatus and a fire hydrant would need to be provided; Conclusions: (A) The proposed short plat is not consistent with the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code; (B) The proposed short plat is not consistent with the Port Angeles Short Plat Code, Chapter 16.04 PAMC, and the Washington State Subdivision Act, Chapter 58.17 RCW; (C) The approval of the proposed short plat does not provide for the public health, safety and general welfare of the community and does not serve the public use and interest, without prejudice; refer the issue back to the Planning Commission to consider possible amendment to the Short Plat Ordinance to include a variance procedure at its earliest convenience. Councilman Lemon seconded the motion. The motion was voted on and carried unanimously. D. Appeal of Condition of Approval CUP~90(07)ll HO Ketchum Councilman Lemon moved to remand the Conditional Use Permit to the Planning Commission in order to provide adequate public notice and review information received from the Administrative Services Department.

Consideration of Amendment to Electric Rate Ordinance Councilman Hallett, speaking for the Utility Advisory Committee, stated the main point of the Ordinance is to be consistent in the rate procedure so all rate classifications are on an even basis. City Light Director Titus gave a brief presentation and overview regarding the rate recommendation and past rate schedules. Mayor Sargent read the Ordinance by title, entitled ORDINANCE NO. 2608 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles altering the rates for the sale of electricity; amending Section 3 of Ordinance 2054 as most recently amended by Section 1 of Ordinance 2273; amending Section 4 of Ordinance 2054 as most recently amended by Section 1 of Ordinance 2361; amending Section 6 of Ordinance 2054 as most recently amended by Section 1 of Ordinance 2461; amending Section 2 of Ordinance 2173 as most recently amended by Section 2 of Ordinance 2461; amending Section 6 of ordinance 2273 as most recently amended by Section 3 of Ordinance 2461; amending Section 3 of Ordinance 2173 as most recently amended by Section 4 of Ordinance 2417; repealing Section 2 of Ordinance 2361; amending Sections 13.12.030, 13.12.040, 13.12.060, 13.12.071, 13.12.072, _ and 13.12, 073 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code; repealing Section 13.12.050 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code; and adding a new Section 13.12.041 to the Port Angeles Municipal Code.

BREAK Mayor Sargent recessed the meeting at 8:55 P.M. The meeting reconvened · at 9:15 P.M. -6- 1671 CITY COUNCIL MEETING August 7, 1990 6. Consideration of Resolution Authorizing 1991 Centennial Trail Grant Application Interim Manager Knutson explained to the Council that the intent of the memo regarding the Waterfront Trail extension was to make the Council aware of risks that will be involved in proceeding with the project. With regard to liability issues, he noted that there is a State statute which provides immunity to liability for recreational properties. Although the statute contains provisos which exempt the liability immunity provision from things such as attractive nuisances or known hazards which are not adequately posted, the statute does provide a significant amount of protection from liability exposure for recreational properties. Parks Director Brodhun gave the Council a step-by-step outline of the application process to date, discussing with the Council the application date deadlines and the possible dates when the application could be withdrawn if the Council should decide to do so. Mayor Sargent noted that any grant money given to the City from the Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation will be for property acquisition only and cannot be used for maintenance or operation. Mike Langley, 1036 West 17th Street, thanked the Council for its support on this project and requested continuation of support by passage of the Resolution. He stated he would be available to answer questions on the issue. Mark Schrader, 220 West Fifth Street, spoke in support of the Resolution, as a member of the Peninsula Trails Coalition. He noted that he believed the trail would be an asset to the lives of the citizens and the community of Port Angeles. He stated the community is desperate for ways to provide activities for youth and believed this would be a key answer to the pursuit of the problem. Dave Berry, 701 Ridgeview Drive, urged the Council to continue to look at the positive aspects of the project, noting that the memo outlines two major concerns: the acquisition of the property; secondly, that grant funds are available from the 1AC. He believed that other issues raised do have solutions, and referred to the Bellingham Interurban Trail, which is a successful project, noting this is not a paved trail but is a dirt trail, which is a possible solution the City may want to review. He requested that the Council focus on the goal and not on the problems. Council and staff discussed the City's responsibility as the lead agency in the project, as well as funding issues raised, potential donations and appraisal of the property to be acquired. Following a lengthy discussion on the issue, Mayor Sargent read the Resolution by title, entitled RESOLUTION NO. 20-90 A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the City of of Port Angeles authorizing the Mayor to submit a grant application to the Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation as provided by SB 6417, for 1991 funding assistance to acquire property for the development of the Centennial Trail portion of the Olympic Discovery Trail. Councilman Wight moved to pass the Resolution as read by title, and to direct staff, with assistance from the volunteers who are showing interest in the project, to clarify title and ownership to portions of the property which are unknown, and to seek either appraisals or market evaluations of the properties which the City may need to acquire. Councilman Ostrowski seconded the motion. Councilman Wight, in speaking to the motion, stated there are some risks and unknowns involved with the acquisition and the continuation of the project. However, there are several possibilities which are available in terms of seeking support, funding, and participation by various organizations. He suggested contacting other age~cies, such as the -7- 1672 CITY COUNCILMEETING August 7, 1990 County, in the development of the Trail. In looking at the value of the project to the community, in.his opinion, there is significant potential as he saw the Trail as an asset to the City of Port Angeles. Councilman Ostrowski spoke in favor of the motion, recalling that one of the Council Goals and Objectives was to move the Trail project to a high priority goal, but urged staff to pursue possible other agency cooperation in the project. Councilman Lemon requested that staff, in reviewing the appraisal and clear titles, keep the Council abreast of any costs which are incurred. Councilman Hallett spoke in support; however, he expressed concern that the continuation of this project does not take away from the City's commitment to the existing Waterfront Trail, noting that if this project is to continue, the Council will need to make some budget adjustments in the future. Councilman Lemon echoed Councilman Hallett~s concerns. The question was called and the motion was voted on and carried unanimously. 7. Consideration of Amendment to Sewer Pretreatment Ordinance Mayor Sargent read the Ordinance by title, entitled ORDINANCE NO. 2609 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles amending the Industrial Wastewater Pretreatment provisions of Ordinance No. 2290 and Chapter 13.06 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code. Councilman Lemon moved to adopt the Ordinance as read by title and to authorize publication in s,~m~ary form. Councilman Gabriel seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Councilman Hallett, as a point of order, moved to continue the items as listed on the Agenda, as it was past 10:00 P.M. Councilman Lemon seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. 8. Consideration of Resolution for Abatement of Public Nuisances (public comment accepted) Mayor Sargent read the Resolution by title, entitled RESOLUTION NO. 19-90 A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the City of Port Angeles, WAshington, declaring the existence of a public nuisance and requiring the elimination of such nuisance. Staff provided Council with a revised Exhibit "A". Councilman Hallett moved to pass the Resolution as read by title. Councilman Wight seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. 9 Consideration of Implementation and Funding of Consolidated Dispatch/ Records Councilman Hallett stated that an ad hoc committee had met with the Police Department and representatives from the County in the discussion of the Consolidated Dispatch/Records Center issue. This issue has been a high priority goal of the Council for several years. A great amount of time has been spent reviewing the project and the proposal before the Council will allow the City to do a number of things; primarily, to take a major step forward in combining the resources with the County in the implementation of the project. He urged the Council to concur with the recommendation. -8- 1673 CITY COUNCIL MEETING August 7, 1990 Police Chief Cleland introduced Assistant Chief Myers, who has been working on the program for the past year with Under-Sheriff Dan Engelbertson, to give a presentation on the facts and figures and to answer questions regarding this project. Assistant Chief Myers presented to the Council an overview of the cost analysis and an explanation of the proposed system, reviewing cost comparisons between 1991 Dispatch costs without consolidation, versus costs with the consolidation and County funds. He reviewed with the Council the 1990 start-up and one-time cost-sharing between the County and the City, including computer hardware costs, software costs, and the Dispatch console cost. He reviewed current funding available in the Police Department capital funds, and the anticipated shortfall. Staff and Council discussed the issue of handling funds for the project. Assistant Chief Myers noted that this is actually a City-run Dispatch Center. A draft contract has been presented to the County Commissioners. Other users which contract with the City for services will have a vote based upon activity in a users' committee. This will allow input from other jurisdictions. Councilman Hallett moved that the Council approve the project and funding; to direct staff to prepare a final project, with required amendments to the Civil Service Ordinance and bring it before the Council for approval at the August 21, 1990, City Council meeting; and further to address the funding issue regarding the difference of $19,730 and defer this to the first quarter of 1991. Councilman Lemon seconded the motion. Following further discussion, the question was called and the motion carried unanimously. 10. Consideration of Requests to Lease Old City Hall Councilman Lemon gave the Council a brief report from the Real Estate Committee regarding this issue, stating that the Committee had met with Mr. Schermer, representing the Historical Society, and that it was their understanding the issue would be referred to the Real Estate Committee for further consideration. Craig Whalley, 114 West Front Street, endorsed the idea of moving the Museum to the old City Hall building and urged that the Council support consideration of this request. Councilman Wight commented that the Real Estate Committee had suggested the possibility of a two-year lease with incremental extensions as mutually agreed upon. His recollection was that the Committee wanted a specific offer from the Historical Society to be returned to the Real Estate Committee so a specific recommendation could be made to the City Council. The Council discussed this issue briefly. Ken Schermer, representing the Historical Society, stated the information received was an oral response between himself and Interim Manager Knutson; that the Historical Society would prefer to meet wLth the Real Estate Committee to discuss the costs involved in reL~ovation and the possible cost of rent. Interim Manager Knutson pointed out to the Council that the Economic Development Council and Umbrella Services had made requests to lease the old City Hall. Subsequently, the EDC's need was so immediate that it proceeded to rent another facility. However, in speaking to Mr. Gruver, representing Umbrella Services, the advantage to the City of leasing to Umbrella Services is that it has money budgeted to pay rent. In the memo presented to the Council, it was indicated that the City could include rental of old City Hall in the agreement it has with the Museum. However, he did not point out that the old City Hall building is owned by the City Light Department and the Light Fund would have to be paid for use of the facility. Following further discussion of the issue, Councilman Lemon moved to refer the request to lease the old City Hall to the Real Estate Committee. -9- 1674 CITY COUNCILMEETING August 7, 1990 Councilman Wight seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. A Real Estate Committee meeting was set for August 16, 1990, at 4:00 P.M. 11. Consideration of Ordinance Establishing Revolving Repair and Demolition Fund Mayor Sargent read the Ordinance by title, entitled ORDINANCE NO. 2610 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles, Washington, establishing a Repair and Demolition Fund for the administration of municipal funds used in the repair or demolition of dangerous buildings and creating a new Chapter 3.27 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code. Interim Manger Knutson stated the Ordinance has been revised, adding Section 4, Codification, which provides that this Ordinance shall be codified in Chapter 3.27 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code. Councilman Lemon moved to adopt the Ordinance as amended and to authorize publication in s,,mmary form. Councilman Gabriel seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. 12 Consideration of Petition to Form LID - 3800 Block Truck Route Councilman Ostrowski moved to accept the petition from the property owners and authorize the Public Works Department to proceed with surveying and engineering to prepare a preliminary layout and estimated costs; further that the Public Works Department draft a Resolution of Intent to form the LID, to be brought to the Council for its consideration at a later date. Councilman Lemon seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. 13. Request to Schedule a Utility Advisory Committee (UAC) Meeting to Discuss Recycling The Utility Advisory Committee set a meeting date for August 28, 1990, at 3:15 P.M. to discuss recycling, as well as a request from Transmountain Oil Pipeline to present information about its proposal. Additionally, the Council discussed a meeting with the Public Utility District Commissioners to be held on August 20, 1990, at 4:00 P.M. Councilmembers were encouraged to attend the meeting, which will include a presentation by the Public Power Council of issues affecting the electric utilities. 14. Consideration of Parking Agreement, Waterfront Antique Mall The Council was presented with a draft of an agreement between the Downtown Parking Association and a Downtown business. Interim Manager Knutson explained that the form can be used for any businesses in the Downtown area which have parking requirements that must be met. The reason the issue is being brought before the Council is that a specific business in the Downtown area is almost ready to open and does not yet have parking needs completely addressed. Interim Manager Knutson requested that the Council authorize the approval of an agreement substantially similar to the one presented. The agreement allows for the $600 per space payment over a period of time and provides for City approval, as is required by the agreement between the City and the Downtown Association for management of the PBIA. Councilman Hallett moved to authorize the City Manager to approve an agreement between the Port Angeles Downtown Association and the Waterfront Antique Mall substantially similar to the one presented to the Council. Councilman Lemon seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. IX CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS/LATE ITEMS Councilman Wight updated the Council on a BPA meeting he and Counail=xn . Oztrcwzl:~ and Light Director Titus had attended regarding the debt reduction of Bonneville Power Association, as well as a joint meeting with the Department of Interior, Bonneville Power Association, and the Corps of Engineers, to review the operating requirements of the Columbia River system of dams. 1675 CITY COUNCIL MEETING August 7, 1990 Councilman Wight also noted he will be out of State from September 6th through October 2nd, and requested that the Council excuse him from those Council meetings. Councilman Lemon moved to excuse Councilman Wight from the meetings of September 18th and October 2nd. Councilman Gabriel seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Councilman Hallett requested that the items on the Information Agenda regarding the excess insurance coverage, property and liability, and options for City Hall janitorial and building maintenance be placed on the City Council meeting agenda for September 4, 1990.

XI RETURN TO OPEN SESSION The meeting returned to open session at approximately 11:50 P.M. Councilman Gabriel announced his resignation from the Council, citing as the reasons for his resignation that he will be taking over shares in his father's printing business, thus creating a conflict of interest regarding the company's contract with the City; that he may possibly be moving outside of the City limits; and that he has not been able to devote as much time as he would like to his committee assignments. Council directed staff to follow the same process as with previous Council member resignations and to proceed with notification of the vacancy, with a possible appointment to be made on September 4, 1990. XII ADJOURNMENT Councilman Gabriel moved for adjournment. Councilman Lemon seconded and the motion carried. The meeting adjourned at approximately 12:00 midnight. CC.171 -11-
