Mayor Haguewood then opened the public hearing and requested comments or questions from the audience or staff. There were no comments and the public hearing was closed. Councilman Hordyk then moved the Council concur with the recommendation of the Planning Commission and grant the vacation request because: (1) the traffic pattern will not be affected by the vacation because the street is not in to the south and may not be possible to develop as a result of vacation by non-usage; (2} retention of utility easements will eliminate any negative impact on utility services to the area; , • (3) development patterns will not be affected because most of the area is currently residentially developed; and (4) there would be benefit to the general public to place that portion of the east half . of the street on the tax rolls. The motion was seconded by Councilman " Buck and carried. - Mayor Haguewood then introduced and read by title Ordinance No. 2046 entitled, Ordinance No. 2046 • AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles • vacating a portion of Vine Street, north of Vashon Street.

There were no further comments•ar~d the public hearing was - closed.

PETERSON/DELGUZZI ANNEXATION: REPORT Mayor Haguewood read a memorandum from the Planning Department concerning fire protection for ,the proposed Fetersen/DelGuzzi annexation area. After Checking the distance from the fire station to the annexation site, the following response times were noted: (a) Race Street/Campbell Avenue route approximately 8 minutes; and (b) First Street/Golf Course Road route ap- proximately 7 minutes. Given this information, the Planning Department is of the opinion that access across the whites Creek ravine to Campbell Avenue would not improve fire protection. Additionally, crossing of Whites Creek ravine within the annexation site would, in the Planning Department's opinion, detract from the residential quality in the annexation area, because the road would become a de facto arterial. 1 Ll CITY COUNCIL MEETING November 6, 1979 V LEGISLATION 3. Cont. A second memorandum from the Planning Department was also read by Mayor Haguewood which outlined some of the agreed and unagreed upon changes in the proposed annexation agreement. Referring to a map showing the proposed annexation area and abutting prop- erties, Planner Carr briefly reviewed the boundaries of the proposed an- ' nexation, and explained that the Planning Department is presently working with the annexation petitioners to try and resolve several of their dif- ferences concerning annexation agreement conditions, i.e. road access, park land, performance bond requirements, and a crossing over Whites Creek. Following Planner Carr's presentation, Mr. Darrell Petersen addressed the Council to state his position on a Whites Creek crossing; Mr. Petersen is in favor o£ such a crossing since prohibiting a crossing of Whites Creek at Wabash would funnel all of the traffic out through the Petersen portion of the area. Mr. Petersen also informed the Council that DelGuzzi Con- struction is willing to construct a bridge across Whites Creek at Wabash. Ms. Florence Casady, representing DelGuzzi Construction, also spoke in favor o£ a crossing over whites Creek, and commented briefly on the Fire Department's response time to this area. The Council, Public Works Director Flodstrom, and Mr. Petersen and Ms. Casady then discussed at length the possibility of a crossing over Whites Creek and the future growth and development of the proposed annexation site. Also dis- '"" cussed was the need for upgrading Campbell Avenue and Wabash; the additional ' traffic problems that a Wabash crossing would place on Campbell Avenue and the effect of this crossing on the residential quality in'the annexation area; - DelGuzzi's offer to construct a bridge over Whites Creek; widening of Golf Course Road; and the location and type of park to be dedicated in the an- nexation area. The discussion concluded with Mayor Haguewood directing the Public works and Planning Departments to assess a crossing over Whites Creek •-• •< at Wabash and make a recommendation to the Council. There was no further ' Council action taken on this matter. '-` 4. ORDINANCE. SIZE OF GARBAGE CANS Mayor Haguewood read a brief memorandum from the Public Works Department concerning garbage can size. Presently the City stipulates that garbage """~ '' cans not exceed 25 gallons in capacity (Ordinance No. 1327), while a stan- dard size garbage can is a 32 gallon container. The Public Works Department recommended the Council amend Ordinance No. 1327 and allow the use of 32 gallon garbage containers. Mayor Haguewood then introduced and read by title Ordinance No. 2047 entitled, Ordinance No. 2047 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles amending Ordinance No. 1327, increasing the capacity of garbage cans for resi- dential use. Councilman Buck moved the Council adopt the foregoing Ordinance as read by ,~ title by Mayor Haguewood. The motion was seconded by Councilman Wray and ' carried unanimously. 5. PUBLIC PIER PROJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF EDA OFFER OF GRANT AND LOAN , Mayor Haguewood referred to a letter received from the U.S. Aepartment of ' Commerce Economic Development Administration which extends to the City of Port Angeles an Offer of Grant and Loan in the amount of $250,000 to aid . in financing the costs of the Municipal Civic Pier Project. The funds provided shall be a $50,000 grant from the Washington State Economic Assistance Authority and a combination grant and loan from the U. S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration through CITY COUNCIL MEETING November 6, 1979 V LEGISLATION 5. Cont. 277 the State of Washington Economic Assistance Authority made pursuant to Section 304 of the Public works and Development Act of 1965 in the re- spective amount of $75,000 grant and $125,000 loan, said loan to bear interest at the U.S. Treasury rate specified by the Economic Development Administration. ' Manager Whorton briefly explained the terms of the offer of Grant and Loan and indicated that the authorized funds have application to the original pier project cost estimate of $1,875,202 rather than to any of the extensions. Councilman Buck then moved the City Council accept the Offer of Grant and Loan for the Public Pier Project from EDA, identified as Project Number 07-O1-02261.40.

Imhoff to the North Olympic Library Board to fill the unexpired term of Lyle Stambaugh which expires December 31, 1982. The motion was seconded by Councilman Buck and carried. 7. CITY/BONNEVILLE-JOINT DATA SURVEY Manager Whorton briefly reviewed a memorandum from Light Director Honnold regarding City participation in a joint end use data survey with the Bon- neville Power Administration. Briefly, the Public Utility Regulatory Policy Act (PURPA) requires utilities with sales over 500,000,000 KWHR to perform ~•~ ~•~••~- certain customer end-use data collection functions. The minimum cost for ~• - this program is approximately $94,000 for set up and $24,000 per year to ;_ sustain the program excluding labor for maintenance. Because Bonneville is also after similar data, they are proposing a joint program involving. several utilities which would reduce the City's set up costs plus a cost saving of approximately $24,000 per year by eliminating the translation costs. ""~'"'"' Councilman Buck"then moved the Council concur with the recommendation of " -`' Light Director Honnold and authorize him to explore participation in a joint end use data survey with Bonneville Power Administration. The motion " was seconded by Councilman Wray. During discussion on the motion, Councilman ' Hordyk and Light Director Honnold discussed the possibility of a request 'for exemption from the data collection portion of PURPA. On call for the ques- "" " tion, the motion was passed by the Council. "" 8. REQUEST TO PURCHASff PROPERTY: C.
