LEGISLATION

by Mayor Basom with the following action taken by the Council.
Councilman Hordyk moved the Council concur with the Planning Commission's
recommendation and approve Clallam County P.U.D. No.1 's request to construct

recommendation and approve John and May Knight's request for a Conditional
Use Permit for a photographic studio as a home occupation at 703 So. Pine
for one year. Councilman Lukey seconded the motion and the motion was
carried by the Council.
I
A motion was made by Councilman Ha9uewood and seconded by Councilman Hordyk
to concur with the Planning Commission's recommendation and deny the request
of Sylvia Thompson for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the construction
of a duplex at 819 W. 15th Street in the RS-7, single-family residential,
zone. Councilmen Ross and Lukey then expressed their views regarding the
acceptability of duplexes, especially in light of the impact the current
high home-construction costs have on the housing market. The consensus of
the Planning Commission for recommending denial of the request, as stated
by Commissioner Feeley who was in attendance, was that the concentration of
duplexes in a single area would change the complexion of the neighborhood
to duplex residential, and since the Planning Commission previously had
recommended denial of requests on this basis in this area, consistency of
standar~ should be maintained. On call for the question on the motion
before the Council to deny subject Conditional Use Permit, the motion was
unanimously passed by the Council.
Councilman Hordyk moved the minutes of the Planning Commission August 11,
1975 meeting be accepted and placed on file as read. The motion was

3. Light Superintendent Honnold's memorandum relating to the City's Power
Contract with the Crown Zellerbach Corporation and requesting an additional
120 day extension, to December 31, 1975, to said contract was read by Mayor
Basom. Councilman Wray moved the. Council authorize the extension of Crown
Zellerbach's Power Contract subject to the provisions of the January 7, 1975
extension. Reference V. 24, Reg. 453, January 7, 1975, and V. 25, Reg. 11,
July 1,1975. The motion was seconded by Councilman Ross and unanimously
carried by the Council.
The next subject taken under consideration was an "Affirmative Action I
Plan" for the City of Port Angeles. The Affirmative Action Program relates _
to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Equal Employment Opport-
unities Act of 1972 and pertains to nondiscriminatory practices of employ-
ment. After considerable discussion regarding the plan, its purpose and use~
a motion was made by Councilman Lukey to adopt the City of Port Angeles'
Affirmative Action Plan. The motion was seconded by Councilman Wray and
passed by the Council.
5. Councilman Lukey moved the subject of replacing a member on the Planning
Commission from the applications received be tabled and referred to a work
session. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hordyk and passed by the
Council. .
6. The proposed testimony on Senate Bill 1134 regarding Lincoln Park was
introduced by Mayor Basom. Manager Whorton then briefly reviewed the subject
matter on this issue for the benefit of the audience. In essence, Senate
Bill 1134 would amend the wording in the Act which granted Lincoln Park to
the City to allow a broader spectrum of public uses than was originally
contemplated. Indicating concurrence with the proposed testimony with one
exception, Councilman Ross moved to amend the proposed testimony on page 3,
paragraph 2, item 3 to read, "The Ci ty Counci 1 wi 11 not decrease the
amount of acreage currently devoted to park and recreation use.", thereby
deleting the wording, "and further that no trees or natural growth will be
cut or removed unless it is to enhance the area for recreational purposes."
The motion was seconded by Councilman Hordyk. Councilman Ross then explained I.
that in her opinion the deletion of this phraseology would eliminate any
specific commitments by the City in this area. The motion to effect the
aforementioned change was unanimously carried by the Council. At Manager
Whorton's suggestion, the words "and grange meeting," will be stricken from
page 2, paragraph 2, sentence 5. Councilman Ross then moved the Council
approve advancement of the "Testimony of the City Council of the City of
Port Angeles Before the Senate Interior Committee on Senate Bill 1134 Re-
garding the Status of Lincoln Park", and supporting testimony, to the U.S.
Senate. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hordyk and unanimously passed
by the Counci 1.
7. A proposed letter to Senator H. M. Jackson requesting he lend his support
in assisting M. & R. Timber to secure a permit from the U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers to fill approximately four acres in Port Angeles Harbor, which is
vitally necessary to facilitate a planned plant expansion, was introduced
by Mayor Basom. The project has been approved by the Washington State
Department of Fisheries and Game, Washington State Department of Ecology,
N.O.A.A. and the E.P.A.; and requesting Senator Jackson's support was
necessitated by the Department of Interior's objection to the project as
being harmful to the marine habitat. Councilman Wray moved the proposed
letter to Senator Jackson be approved. The motion was seconded by Council-
man Hordyk and passed by the Council.
8. A motion was made by Councilman Lukey, seconded by Councilman Hordyk and I
unanimously carried to accept and place on file the Clallam County Humane
Society July 1975 Work Report.
