Peggy Buck of 3003 Oakcrest Way addressed the Council regarding what she felt to be an excessive dust problem in her area during the construction if the Peabody Heights L.I.D. No. 198. As explained by Mrs. Buck, the problem is caused by the fact that Laurel Street is utilized as a main arterial during the L.I.D. construc- tion period. The problem is further compounded, according to Mrs. Buck, by numerous contractor trucks traveling up the Laurel Street hill to the fill site, and due to the dryness of the street the trucks create an excessive amount of dust at her home especially when an easterly wind prevails. To assist in keeping the dust under control, she requested her area be given special consideration by the contractor in keeping the street watered. Manager Whorton then reported that the contractor's current policy is to water all the streets in the L.I.D. twice a day, and because of the magnitude of the construction area, watering Laurel Street more often could result in some other area not receiving this service. Mrs. Buck was thm assured by Mayor Basom that Manager Whorton and the Department of Public Works will do everything possible to alleviate the inconvenience and as the excavation is near completion, the,paving will start soon. VI LEGISLATION 1. Certificates of Competency issued by the Washington State Department of Ecology's Board of Certification were presented to WasteWater Treatment Plant employees Gary Holbrook, Terry Siebens, and Clarence Yuhl by Mayor Basom. As these certificates indicate an increase in qualifications for the recepients, the Mayor extended congratulations to each for their interest in the training programs and their service to the community. 2. The next subject taken under consideration was the proposed annexation of approximately 28.5 acres adjacent to the present south City limits in the vi ci ni ty of McDougal and Church Streets. It is noted for the record that as a result of a recommendation for annexation approval by the Planning Commission, the Council accepted the proposed annexation request at the November 5, 1974 Council meeting; that based on annexation procedures established by Attorney Taylor, Council acceptance then initiated the first step in the annexation process; and that in the interim, certain developments caused a delay in the annexation proceeding. By letter dated August 12, 1975, property owner Jim Cole requested the Council reinitiate the annexation process. After considerable discussion relating to the administrative and legal aspects of annexation procedures, a motion was made to approve the annexation. Attorney Taylor then advised the Council that prior to Council approval a public hearing must be held by the Council on the proposed annexation. Councilman Ross then moved a public hearing be scheduled for the September 16, 1975 Council meeting and that subject annexation be contingent upon the property owners assuming any outstanding City indebtedness contracted prior to or existing at the time of annexation. The motion was seconded by Councilman Lukey and passed by the Council. The public hearing date will be officially published in the newspaper and posted; an Agreement of Intention and an Ordinance are required to effect the annexation of subject property to the City of Port Angeles. 3. Councilman Ross moved the minutes of the Board of Adjustment August 26, 1975 meeting be accepted and placed on file as read by Mayor Basom. The motion was seconded by Councilman Wray and unanimously carrieQ by the Council. 4. A motion to take from the table the "Planted Island at Second and Pine Streets" subject was made by Councilman Lukey, seconded by Councilman Haguewood and unanimously carried. Parks and Recreation Director Frizzell briefly reviewed the problem conditions existing with subject island, presented the alternatives that are available to correct the situation and concluded by recommending that if the Council object to replacing the log traffic island with street surface traffic direction buttons, the best alternative would be to leave the log traffic island intact. After considerable discussion relating to traffic hazards, Councilman Lukey moved the log traffic island at Second and Pine Streets remain, be repaired, and the trees be removed to improve the vehicular traffic vision. The motion was seconded by Councilman Ross and unanimously passed by the Council. ~ >- g.~j'ijco S ~~~:ic~fi~.E ~ I m~$ ce -f~:~~c~- ~~~~zm~~C~~~'6~'-~'.m~~_ ~~~~~5~~~~o_>~~~oi~ ~~==~=~~~-~ai~i ~ggMO ZW~~EU_~cm~o!a>uc~- c~e_~_o~~~~-~~~~~~m~_ t u.......z:v'tG.l~~"-:Jo>>ltl""CJ .2-.21: .2a::OIo~l'Da-'lI)g_>- ...... ~:Soc 0<< =o--~~t-o=E~f~-go ~ c c ~..~;O~~>~ ~~ ~~ 'w ""w -go.. ~c 0.8..", a,u'x 0 c C"'~._;: <1I;C t 0 cn<-f~ a: jJ~~'i:it >-~.,.... u a.
