PLANNING COMMTSSION Mayor Haguewood read the minutes of the Planning Commission meeting of November 14, 1979 with the following action being taken by the Council: A. Annexation Petition: MacMillan Mayor Haguewood opened the public hearing on Mr. MacMillan's request for permission to circulate an annexation petition in the area of the southwest corner of Highway 101 and Golf Course Road, and requested comments or questions from the audience or staff. Auring the discussion which followed, the Council questioned Planner Carr and Acting Manager Flodstrom in regard to what type of landscaping will be required by the Planning Commission in the final annexation agreement, the bounda- ' ries of this petition, and the west thirty foot right-of-way on Golf Course Road. There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed. Councilman Buck then moved the Council concur with the recommendation of the Planning Commission and approve the request to circulate an annexation petition, conditioned upon the following re- quirements: (1) the area is zoned substantially in conformance with the periphery zoning map; (2) the area bears its pro rata share of the City's general obligation indebtedness; (3) the applicant(s) agree(s) to formally dedicate the west 30 feet of the Golf Course Road right-of-way adjacent to his property; and (4) the applicant sign an annexation agreement (if the petition is successful) to include landscaping. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hordyk and carried. CITY COUNCIL MEETING `'~ November 20, 1979 LEGISLATION 1. Cont. B. Temporary Use Permit: High Tide Seafoods Mayor Haguewood opened the public hearing on High Tide Seafood's re- quest for an extension of their temporary use permit for a fish proces- sing operation in the CBD Zone, located on the pier at the foot of Oak Street, and requested comments or questions from the audience or staff. There were no comments and the public hearing was closed. Councilman Wray then moved the Council concur with the recommendation of the Plan- ning Commission and approve the entension of the temporary use permit for an additional year. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hordyk and carried. C. Conditional Use Permit: Allen Mayor Haguewood opened the public hearing on Mr. Allen's request for extension of his conditional use permit to operate a craft shop as a home occupation at 336 East Whidby, and requested comments or questions from the audience or staff. There were no comments and the public hearing was closed. Councilman Boardman then moved the Council concur with the recommendation of the Planning Commission and approve the extension of Mr. Allen's conditional-use permit for a period of two years, provided immediate review would be had before the Commission in the event of any complaints. The motion was seconded by Councilman Duncan and carried. D. Conditional Use Permit: Koester Mayor Haguewood opened the public hearing on Ms. Koester's request for a conditional use permit to operate a beauty shop as a home occupation at 820 West Twelfth Street, and requested comments or questions from the audience or staff. There were no comments and the public hearing was closed. Councilman Horydk then moved the Council concur with the re- commendation of the Planning Commission and approve the conditional use permit for a period of one year since it generally falls within the home occupation guidelines. The motion was seconded by Councilman Buck. During discussion on the motion, the Council and Planner Carr briefly discussed the Planning Commission's finding that this use falls within the home occupation guidelines. On call for the question, the motion was passed by the Council. The next subject to be discussed by the Council was a recommendation from the Planning Commission that a moratorium be placed on all new home occupation applications until staff has determined the saturation levels in the various categories. This was recommended following a comment from a Planning Commission member that too many shops such as Ms. Koesters were unfair to the shops properly located in the commercial zones. Councilman Buck moved the Council concur with the recommendation of the Planning Commission to place a moratorium on all new home occupation ap- plications. The motion was seconded by Councilman Boardman. During dis- cussion on the motion, Planner Carr reiterated that this was not a policy decision made by the Planning Commission bur rather only a recommendation to the Council to draw their attention to the matter. Councilman Duncan also pointed out that since staff is presently working to identify those home occupation guidelines which are not working under the home occupa- tion guidelines, and the impact of these uses on the community, a mora- torium may be premature. On call for the question, the motion was unani- mously denied by the Council. Councilman Boardman moved the Council accept and place on file the Plan- ning Commission minutes of November 14, 1979. The motion was seconded by Councilman Buck and carried. 284 CITY COUNCIL MEETING November 20, 1979 V LEGISLATION 1. Cont. Following the reading of the Planning Commission minutes, Councilman Boardman questioned Attorney Miller in regard to restroom requirements for pre-existing structures, i.e. if a restaurant has applied for a liquor license can they be required to add on restrooms. During dis- cussion on this matter, Acting Manager Flodstrom pointed out that per- haps an agreement could be worked out voluntarily; however, no such con- ditions can be attached to a liquor license. Planner Carr then spoke briefly to the Council in regard to public restrooms within the City. Referring to a map of the City, Mr. Carr pointed out the various loca- tions of the public restrooms, and pointed out that the question of restrooms should be, and is, part of the Building Code rather than the Zoning Code, altkiough the Building Code interpretation is rather ambiguous. la. CROWN Z SHORELINE MANAGEMENT PERMIT Mayor Haguewood referred to a memorandum from the Planning Department ad- vising the Council that the Planning Commission tabled Crown Zellerbach's Shoreline Management Substantial Development Permit pending receipt of additional information from the applicant. Since the hearing scheduled before the Council during this meeting has been posted and published, Attorney Miller advised that the hearing be continued. Mayor Haguewood then opened the public hearing and requested comments or questions from the audience or staff. There were no comments and Councilman Buck moved the Council continue the public hearing on Crown Z's Substantial Develop- ment Permit until the December 18, 1979 Council meeting. The motion was seconded by Councilman Boardman and carried. 2. PRESENTATION OF PLAQUE Mr. Monty Simpson, representing the Clallam County Chapter of the American Red Cross, presented a plaque to Mayor Haguewood and the Council in honor of the late William Shore for his many years of service in the field of water safety. 3. RENTAL AGREEMENT: CERTIFIED BUILDERS Mayor Hageuwood read a memorandum from the Public Works Department concerning a recent rental agreement between the City and Certified Builders for rental of a portion of the warehouse structure at Railroad Avenue and Oak Street. The memorandum explained that this subject was again before the Council be- cause there was not public notification prior to the Council action at the October 23, 1979 special Council meeting. Councilman Wray then moved the Council approve the rental agreement between the City and Certified Builders. The motion was seconded by Councilman Buck and carried. 4. TRAFFIC SIGNAL: SR 101 AND GOLF COURSE ROAD Mayor Haguewood read a memorandum from the Public Works Department reporting on the proposed traffic signal at the intersection of SR 101 and the Golf Course Road. As a result of several design changes, many of the City's earlier concerns have been addressed. Also, the cost of the project and the City's share have been reduced significantly. Originally, the City's share, based on a total project cost of $90,000, was $18,000. Now the City's share is $2,603 based on a total project cost of $70,350.; Following this report, Acting Manager Flodstrom briefly reviewed the De~ partment of Transportation's revised signalizat3on plan, and discussed pedestrian traffic and landscaping of the exit area on Front Street for McDonald's Restaurant with the Council and Parks Director Frizzell. There was no further Council action taken on this agenda item. CETY COUNCIL MEETING November 20, 1979 L3 0 LEGISLATION 5.

On call for the question, the motion was passed by the Council. 6. COMPUTERIZED L.I.D. BILLING AND INQUIRY SYSTEM A memorandum £rom Finance Director Orton concerning a computerized LID billing and inquiry system was read by Mayor Haguewood. The proposed system, Mr. Orton explained, is based upon the LID software in Jefferson County but the City will have a series of "on-line" programs written in order to have current LTD information available on terminal display screens rather than on large columns of hard-copy printouts. The cost for the system is $8,800• However, as the City jointly owns the utility software, the City's share of the proposed transaction is $6,000. 1 1 Councilman Wray then moved the Council authorize Finance Director Orton to contract with Western Data for a computerized LID billing and inquiry system.
