October 6, 1.981
IX ITEMS FROM THE COUNCIL NOT ON THE AGENDA

l. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Rezone Request: Ranta
Mayor Haguewood opened the public hearing on Mr. Ranta's request to
rezone 2l,000 square feet from CAD to CBD, located on the north side of
First Street, approximately 200 feet east of Lincoln Street, and
requested comments or questions from the audience or staff. Mr. Ken
Sweeney, Clark and Associates, then addressed the Council on behalf of
the applicant. Mr. Sweeney presented several facts on the proposed
rezone, and pointed out that the reason for requesting the change is to
permit an office building in excess of 30 feet; additionally, the
westernmost lot is already in the CBD Zone and the zoning change would
place all of the applicant's property in one zoning district. Mr. John
Layson, a Real Estate Consultant from Seattle, also spoke to the
Council in regard to the economic feasibility of the project. Follow-
ing these presentations, the public hearing was closed.
Councilman Quast then moved the Council concur with the recommendation
of the Planning Commission and approve the rezone request because: (1)
the rezone complies with Comprehensive Plan Commercial Policies Nos. 1
and 2, with greater emphasis on Policy No.6; and (2) the rezone would
put all of the applicant's property within one zone. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Hordyk. During discussion on the motion, Council-
man Buck questioned Planner Carr in regard to the impact on the community
if the property is not used in a business office capacity. It was
Planner Carr's opinion that the impact would be very small. The Council
and Planner Carr also discussed the parking requirements for the pro-
posed property use, and the feelings of the bordering property owners
to the proposed rezone and property use. On call for the question, the
motion was passed by the Council.
I
Mayor Haguewood then introduced and read by title Ordinance No. 2171
entitled,
Ordinance No. 2l7l
AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles
reclassifying property on the north side
of Front Street, approximately 200 feet
east of Lincoln Street from CAD to CBD.
Councilman Buck moved the Council adopt the foregoing Ordinance as read
by title by Mayor Haguewood. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Hordyk .and carried unanimously.
I
2. REVISED PRELIMINARY PLAT: CRQNAUER
prior to any discussion on this matter, Attorney Miller pointed out that
a public hearing is not needed on the Cronauer replat if the Council con-
curs with the recommendation of the Planning Commission. However, if they
do not concur, a public 'hearing should be scheduled.
Councilman Buck then moved the Council concur with the recommendation
of the Planning Commission and approve Mr. Cronauer's replat to con-
sider the revised preliminary plat of the Cronauer rep1at consisting

of four residential lots on 3.2 acres, located north of Milwaukee Drive,
between uN" and "0" Streets, because: (l) the proposed subdivision conforms
with the Residential Policies of the Comprehensive Plan; (2) the proposed
lots comply with the RS-9 Plan; (3) basic public utilities and streets are
available to the proposed subdivision; (4) the circulation patterns in
this area are minimally affected; (5) public schools, parks and recreation
facilities are not impacted by this subdivision; and (6) the public use and
interest will be served by approving the plat. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Hordyk. During discussion on the motion, the Council, planner
Carr, Manager Flodstrom, and City Engineer Rose discussed the requirements
recommended by the Public Works Department ( 24-foot paved roadway on the
Milwaukee Drive right-of-way from the proposed subdivision eastward to "N"
Street, and extension of the storm drainage system to the western edge of
the proposed subdivision), and why these requirements were not made a part
of the Butler replat which was approved by the Council in May, 1981. Fol-
lowing a lengthy discussion regarding the CronauerjButler replats, improve-
ments to other roads by other developers, and why the Planning commission
did not impose the conditions recommended by the Public Works Department,
the question was called for and the motion passed with Councilman Polhamus
voting "NO."

regarding HJR-7, a proposed amendment to the Washington State Constitution
that provides for the sale of tax free revenue bonds payable only from
private sources to finance pollution control, job and economic development
projects. The letter requested the Council's feelings on two questions:
(ll Does the City's legal counsel concur with the statement that construc-
tion of major energy facilities cannot be financed through these bonds? In
particular, do the Council members concur the bonds should not be used for
the Northern Tier project?; and (2) will the Council give serious considera-
tion to endorsing HJR-7?
During discussion on these questions, Attorney Miller stated that he did
not agree with the statement in question No. l. It was his opinion that
portions of the Northern Tier project could be funded through this type of
funding device, with no limitation as to the amount which could be used.
Attorney Miller also briefly reviewed the Internal Revenue Code section
which is applicable to this, and the limitations contained in the Washing-
ton State Statutes. Following a brief discussion on the Council's previous
policy not to endorse political issues, Councilman Quast moved the Council
respond to the Clallam/Jefferson HJR-7 Yes Committee in terms of Attorney
Miller's interpretation of question No. 1 and not take a position on endors-
ing HJR-7. The motion was seconded by Councilman Polhamus and carried.

requested that the matter of City Council Committee structure and assign-
ments be discussed at the next regular meeting.

cussion concluded with Mayor Haguewood agreeing to restructure the committee
