Engineer Kenworthy explained that the intersections are very high angles; therefore, as a condition of that street vacation, he had suggested the City exchange some land with Mr. Walkhoffrather than have Mr. Walkhoffproceed with a purchase. This would improve the angle and make this a win-win situation. Mr. Walkhoff did not wish to make the exchange, and a compromise could not be reached. Engineer Kenworthy explained that his recommendation for denial of this vacation was not capricious but, rather, fell within the standards for acceptable urban traftie engineering design. Discussion followed, and Engineer Kenworthy responded to questions and provided clarification of the issue.

He felt this would be good use of public funds. Manager Pomeranz lauded Mr. Didrickson's enthusiasm for this project; however, he stated this facility must be moved or removed, and time lines for this must be set. Mr. Didhckson stated he was not ~ to begin this project until January, and lengthy discussion followed. Councilman Hulett asked Mr. Didrickson if he had a place for storage of the structure once dismantled, and Mr. Didrickson did not feel this would be a problem. Councilman Braun asked if the building was salvageable, and Mr. Didrickson responded that the 2 x 4's and siding certainly appeared to be reusable. Councilman Wiggins felt Mr. Didrickson should work in conjunction with the Parks Department on this project and with deadlines set. Councilman Doyle felt the building should be demolished, as the Parks Department has enough to handle without adding another project. Manager Pomeranz stated that retaining the building for historical purposes was frae; however, he felt it would be less expensive to build a caretaker's residence out of new materials. -5- 3574 CITY COUNCIL MEETING October 21, 1997 LEGISLATION: Mr. Didrickson pointed out that many historic structures have been lost as a result of (Cont'd) vandalism. A caretaker's residence is necessary in the historic area of Lincoln Park, and this residence would be designed to function as a tourist attraction.

Cotmcilmm~ Doyle asked if item #8 in the Scope of Service, Lower Elwha S'Klallam Tribe Coordination, had been changed since the UAC meeting. Attorney Knutson stated it had. The UAC and staffhad indicated that this provision would give too much deference to the Tribe's concerns. The intent is that the City will take the Tribe's concerns into account in developing water supply plamfing; however, the City would not defer to the Tribe. Cotmcilman Doyle then referred to Exhibit "B", Fee Estimates for Phase 1 of the project, and noted that #8, Tribe Coordination, was the largest fee. He felt too much emphasis was being placed on the Tribe's concerns. Manager Pomeranz informed the Council that they we, re free to change this amount if they so desired. He recommend reducing the figure to $2,000, which would fall into line with the rest of the numbers. Brief discussion followed. -6- CITY COUNCIL MEETING October 21, 1997 LEGISLATION: Councilman Braun moved .to approve the agreement and scope of work and (Cont'd) authorize the Mayor to sign the agreement, with the amendment of reducing the amount of item #8 to $2,000 to conform with the other fees listed.

Port Angeles is getting a lot of credit for initiating this summit. The Govemor's office has invited approximately 200 individuals to attend the summit. They've also developed a list of individuals who have been invited to participate in various roundtable discussions. Manager Pomeranz then described some of the issues to be discussed. He informed the Council that he had been invited by the Governor to participate in the roundtable dealing with local government and had been asked to help raise funds for the smnmit. Manager Pomcranz was pleased to report that First Federal Savings and Loan, SeaFirst, U.S. Bank, and U.S. West had each donated $5,000 towards the Economic Summit. At this point, it is not anticipated any City funds will be needed for the Summit. There will be a community dinner held immediately following the summit. It is hoped that this Summit will bring some of the best minds and experience together to discuss ways and means to generate jobs and stimulate economies of rural communities. The information will then be used to develop a legislative package for this Legislative session.

The proposed rezone request is to change the existing site's zoning from CN to IL (Lots 11-13 of Block 429 and Lots 8-12 of Block 442), rezone the three properties to be added to the site fi:om RS-7 to IL (Lots 14 and 15 of Block 429 and Lot 7 of Block 442), and rezone one existing CN property located adjacent to the southernmost portion of the site from CN to RS-7 (Lot 13 of Block 442). (Attachment C to staff's report.) 2. The Comprehensive Plan designates the majority of the site as Commercial and the site extends into the marginal area between the Commercial designation and the Industrial designation. 3. The subject area is presently developed with the Angeles Millworks retail lumber yard and supply store and two single family residences. One of the residences eill be be demolished and the property included in the applicant's redeveloped site. The remaining residence is included in this rezone request to change its zoning designation to match the zoning of the adjacent residences. 4. The retail lumber yard and building supplies store use of the property has been in existence since 1906. The proposed redevelopment is a result of snow damage to the current faciities that occurred during last year's winter storms. 5. The City adopted a new Comprehensive Plan in 1994 and amended it in 1995 and 1996, including changes in land use designations for the subject site in 1994 and 1996. 6. A retail lumber yard and building supplies store is not a permitted use in the current CN zoning. 7. A retail lumber yard and building supplies store is a permitted use in the IL zone which is adjacent to the south of the existing site. 8. The subject location has several types of land uses and land use designations surrounding the site. 9. The original placement of the Comprehensive Plan's land use designations attempted to reflect this area's predominant existing uses. 10. Although, the subject site is not located in either the harbor area or the near the airport, the proposed rezone would be an extension of the existing IL zone directly adjacent to the south of the subject site. 11. The SEPA Responsible Official issued a Determination of Non-Significance for the proposal on October 10, 1997 (See Staff Report for REZ 97-01 Attachment B. ). 3581 12. The posted public comment period for this application ran fi.om September 22 to October 8, 1997. During this time the Planning Department received one letter of comment from Helen Radke who owns Lots 16 and 17 of Block 429. (Ms. Radke's letter supporti, ng the proposal is attachedto the October 15, 1997 Staff Report for REZ 97-01 Attachment D. Conclusions: A. The proposed rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Policies A1 and 2, D1, G2, and H4 as listed and reviewed in the October 15, 1997 Staff Report for REZ 97-01. B. The proposed extension north of the IL zone will help facilitate the redevelopment of the site which will in turn allow the existing use to remain economically viable and increase its compatibility with the surrounding land uses. C. The rezone is in the public use and interest and is compatible with the surrounding zoning and land uses. D. The original reasoning for the placement of the land use designations and the Land Use Map's concept of imprecise boundaries, justifies a correction by the City of the Comprehensive Plan's Land Use Map rather requiring an amendment of the Comprehensive Plan. E. The rezone would enable an existing business to be rebuilt. Adopted by the City Council of the City of Port Angeles on this ~ day of October, 1997.

These types of industrial uses typically involve the manufacture of finished products from pre-fabricated materials, product wholesaling, and material storage. Buffering measures to reduce the impact of industriaI uses on nearby residential uses may be required." 6. Social service agencies are a conditional use permitted in the IL zone as follows: "Social service agencies providing 24-hour residential care, where a.) The average daily noise levels (ldn) do not exceed 60 decibels for exterior portions of the site and 45 decibels for interiors of living quarters; b.)
