CITY COUNCIL MEETING
December 3, 1991
CEREMONIAL 1. Recognition of Certificate of Achievement of Bruce Becker porn the
MATTERS/ Executive Fire Officer Program at National Fire Academy
PROCLAMATIONS:
Mayor Sargent presented Bruce Becket, Fire Marshal, with a Certificate of
Achievement from the Executive Fire Officer Program. Marshal Becket committed
himself to the program over a four-year period, and has completed three research
papers as required by the program.
CITY COUNCIL Councilman Hallett reported on his attendance at the National Fire Academy training
COMMITTEE for emergency managers, along with other members of the City staff. He briefly
REPORTS: reviewed the content of the program, which included plan development for
emergencies and ways to address other issues which arise during a disaster. He
expressed the opinion that it may be helpful to review the training and issues
discussed at a future meeting of the City Council.
Councilman Nicholson, a member of the Public Information Committee, urged all
in attendance to pay particular attention to the upcoming City newsletter, as he felt
it to be one of the better and more informative newsletters thus far.
FINANCE: 1. Consideration of approval to advertise for bid on up to four used vehicles
for use as out-of-town cars
Bid for Out-of-
Town Cars Mayor Sargent reviewed information pertinent to the need for additional vehicles in
the City car pool, for in-town and out-of-town purposes. Issues surrounding this
particular need involve problems with dependability, as well as increasing demand.
Also identified as a matter for consideration is the fact the City has, as a matter of
practice, retained vehicles until the mileage has surpassed 100,000 miles. It has been
learned there is a significant drop in resale value, and maintenance and operation
costs, once a vehicle has reached 55,000 miles. It may be advantageous to alter the
trade-in/resale practices.
Councilman Ostrowsld moved to authorize bids for up to four (4) used sedans.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Wight.
Discussion followed with Councilman Wight offering the suggestion to consider the
purchase of used demo models which come with a bumper-m-bumper warranty. In
addition, staff was asked to consider the possibility of leasing. Public Works
Director Pittis, in response to an inquiry from Councilman Lemon, explained the
number of vehicles needed, as well as the fact the bids received will provide an
economic breakdown and figures pertinent to a buy-back at 60,000 miles. A vote
was taken on the motion which carried unanimously.
Payment to 2. Consideration of final acceptance and payment to Olympic Electric for 5th
Olympic Electric - & Peabody Signal ($323. 00)
5th & Peabody Signal
The Public Works Department has certified that Olympic Electric has completed the
construction on the 5th & Peabody signal project in accordance with the plans and
specifications; any and all discrepancies noted have been resolved. Restoration
planting and seeding will be accomplished by the Parks Department in the spring.
Councilman Hallett moved to approve and accept the work performed, to
authorize final payments of $323.00 to Olympic Electric, to include $17.00 to
retainage, and to release the retainage upon receipt of releases from Labor &
- Industries and the Deparlment of Revenue. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Nicholson. Public Works Director Pittis advised Council the shoulder
breakup which has appeared will be repaired in the spring. A vote was taken on
the motion which carried unanimously.
Payment to R.W. 3. Consideration of payrnent to R.W. Beck for landfill project ($10,372.03)
Beck - Landfill

ITEMS FROM THE Mayor Sargent requested that Legislation Item No. E. 1., presentation of Gerald C.
AUDIENCE/COUNCIL/ McRorie, Intalco Aluminum Corporation, be the next item considered by the
STAFF TO BE Council.
CONSIDERED OR
PLACED ON A
FUTURE AGENDA:
LEGISLATION: GeraM C. McRorie, Manager of Communication and Community Relations,
lntalco ~tluminum Corporation, to present information to customers of
Presentation on Bonneville Power Administration and local utilities
Direct Service
Industries Gerald McRorie, Intalco Aluminum Corporation, had asked to address the Council
on behalf of the Direct Service Industries (DSIs) in the Pacific Northwest in an effort
to share pertinent information on the DSIs and their relationship to Bonneville Power
and the local utilities served by BPA. Mr. McRorie reviewed the value of the DSIs
which is comprised of aluminum, chemical and metal companies and pulp mills.
Their direct purchase of power from Bonneville Power represents approximately 30 9[
of BPA's revenue. They are responsible for a significant amount of recycling which
results in the approximate use of 5 % of the power required to manufacture new cans.
Mr. McRorie noted it is in the best interest of all concerned to assure a strong and
stable BPA, and expressed the opinion that public and private users share a
partnership in this effort. He distributed to the Council a brochure explaining the
nature of the Direct Service Industries. Councilman Hallett inquired of City Light
Director Titus as to whether this is a matter for future Utility Advisory Committee
discussion. Director Titus noted there was a recent position statement in the Council
information packet which was of a similar nature. Further, in response to a
communication from the Northwest Public Power Association, a letter has been
written to the Governor and Legislature on power issues and the need to maintain
reasonable rates. This issue can be discussed at the UAC level.
Public Hearings A. Public Hearings
Amendments to PRD 1. Proposed Amendments to the Planned Residential Development Chapter of
Chapter of Zoning Zoning Ordinance No. 1709, as amended, City-wide: (Continued from
Ordinance No. 1709 - November 19, 1991)
Ordinance No. 2657
Mayor Sargent noted the PRD zoning has been a part of the Zoning Code for several
years and, as a result of a recent housing needs survey, the shortage of affordable
housing in general was confirmed. The Innovative Housing Committee was created
by the Council in November, 1990, with Councilman Lemon as chair. The
Committee met nine times and made proposals for incentives for housing
development while protecting existing neighborhoods.
Prior to re-opening the public hearing, Mayor Sargent announced that testimony
would be received from those citizens who have not previously testified. She asked
that persons testifying confine the testimony to the proposal and try to be concise ......
Mayor Sargent re-opened the public hearing at 7:50 p.m.
Lorraine Ross, 418 East Front Street, opened with a brief description of the City at
the time the Zoning Code was adopted and commented that, at that time, a large part
of the City was vacant land. She felt no one neighborhood in the City was any better
than another. The present housing shortage has occurred over a number of years.
Each neighborhood must accept some multi-family units in order to balance the utility
and street needs and to cause the least disruption of any particular area. She urged
the Council to adopt the proposal.
John Teichert, 1713 East Fourth Street, said he had previously addressed this matter
and was concerned that he had not received an answer to a letter he had written on
November 15th. He questioned the apparently limited SEPA review on the proposed
amendments. He asked the Council to turn down the proposed amendments.
James Mantooth, 2238 East Lindberg Road, said acquisition of single-family houses
-3-
2141
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
December 3, 1991
LEGISLATION: requires the assurance of zoning to assure the type of surroundings desired. The
(Cont'd) Comprehensive Plan says multi-family housing should go near arterials for
convenience of City services. He questioned whether the present rezone request for
Public Heatings the area between Fifth and Seventh and Chase and Peabody to go from multi-family
to Office Commercial is appropriate. Further, he does not consider the proposed
Amendments to PRD PRD amendments to be appropriate.
Chapter of Zoning
Ordinance No. 1709 - John Swedstedt, 1746 East Fifth, was concerned about an increase in traffic in his
Ordinance No. 2657 single-family area, and said he was opposed to any change in density in his area.
(Cont'd) The 'quality of life' refers to the people who reside in a specific area, not to the
developers and other outsiders. With regard to earlier actions, although the majority
of the neighbors spoke against them, they were approved. The area east of White's
Creek deserves some special consideration. He urged that the proposal be denied.
John Drain, 1008 Mt. Angeles Road, noted that new areas annexed into the City
should come in as single-family. The residents of that area can then become familiar
with City processes. It is very difficult for the average person to follow the process
of changing what use property can be put to.
Mayor Sargent replied that all annexations are brought into the City as RS-9, single-
family residential. A change in this procedure is not planned.
Robbie Mantooth, 2238 East Lindberg Road, asked permission to address the
Council, although she has already spoken on this proposal. Mayor Sargent asked if
anyone else who has not yet spoken. There being no others at this time, Mayor
Sargent agreed to listen to specific points not already raised.
Mrs. Mantooth said the area residents have not been properly considered. The
comments of interested parties should be heard in a committee situation which would
provide an environment where new solutions could emerge. The concerns expressed
have not been addressed seriously. Mayor Sargent asked for specific items in the
proposal to be addressed. Mrs. Mantooth responded enough concerns have been
expressed that a broader committee needs to work on the proposed amendments, with
the concerned citizens being a part of that committee.
There being no further comments, the public hearing was closed at 8:19 p.m.
Councilman Hallett asked for clarification from Planning Director Collins on the
proposed densities included in the amendments. Director Collins explained the land
use map. He explained the standard Townsite block could be developed up to 21
single-family residences and 143 multi-family units. Under the proposed PRD
amendments, a standard Townsite block could contain as many as 20 single-family
and 116 multi-family dwelling units. Approval of multi-family densities would
require a formal rezone from single-family zoning, but varying the building types
would not require a rezone except to PRD.
Councilman Nicholson commented that the basic decision to be reached is the
determination of whether the PRD Ordinance is better as it stands now, or better
with the proposed amendments. Councilman Wight reviewed some of the
deliberations made in the promulgation of the proposed amendments. The PRD
process, whether flawed or not, is better than not having it at all. The proposed
revisions would improve the PRD process. Councilman Schueler considers the
amendments to the PRE} procedure to be beneficial.
Councilman Hallett moved to concur with the recommendation of the Innovative
Housing Committee to approve the proposed amendments to the PRD
Ordinance, including only the second and third modifications of the PImmlnoo
Commission, citing the following f'mdings and conclusions: FINDINGS (1) The
City of Port Angeles has received the results of a housing needs study indicating that
the housing needs of our community axe not being met; (2) A recommended goal of
this Clallam County Housing Needs Assessment is to broaden the housing types
allowed in the Port Angeles Zoning Code, and recommended strategies include: (a)
Broaden the land use options in the Port Angeles Zoning Code to include more
density choices between the single family zoning and high multiple family densities
now specified by the Zoning Code; (b) Encourage residential development in all
zones, including commercial, retail, and some industrial areas; (c) Change planned
unit development rules to allow smaller PUDs in some zones; (3) The Port Angeles
Comprehensive Plan contains the following goals and policies: (a) A community
where development and use of the land are done in a manner that is compatible with
the environment, the characteristics of the use and the users; (b) A community of
viable neighborhoods and a variety of opportunities for personal interaction,
fulfillment and enjoyment, attractive to people of all ages, characteristics and

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
December 3, 1991
LEGISLATION: interests; (c) Residential land should be developed on the neighborhood concept; (d)
(Cont'd) Residential developments should allow Planned Unit Development techniques where
emphasis is on the overall density of the development rather than individual lots or
Public Hearings dwelling units. Standards should be established to assure access and services
adequate for the density and type of residential development proposed; (e) Residential
Amendments to PRD developments should preserve and capitalize on existing unusual, unique and
Chapter of Zoning interesting natural features, should utilize and preserve scenic views, should
Ordinance No. 1709 - maximize southern exposures, should offer protection from the prevailing winds, and
Ordinance No. 2657 should be designed to minimize energy use; (f) Building density should decrease as
(Cont'd) natural constraints, such as slope, drainage and soil conditions increase; (g) High
density development should be allowed in areas which would provide aesthetic
amenities or suburban environmental characteristics to a larger percentage of the
population, provided such development would not have adverse impacts on the
surrounding low density development; 0a) People of the city should be encouraged ~.
to participate in community development decisions; (i) A population growth of
approximately 1% a year should be used as a basis for planning; (j) Determination
of open space lands should be based upon an open space study which examines
natural characteristics and features and is integrated into this comprehensive plan; (k)
Areas with severe physical constraints should not be intensively developed; (1)
Wherever possible, unique environmental and topographic features should be
preserved; (m) Natural topographic conditions and soil conditions should be a major
determinant of the intensity of development of all areas of the community; (n)
Wherever possible, open space areas should be used as a boundary between
neighborhoods; (o) To avoid undue concentration of population; (p) To provide for,
encourage, and preserve the identify of the neighborhoods in the city; (q) To make
the environment of the community conducive to a better life: spiritually, morally,
and physically through the provision of various opportunities; (r) To encourage the
most appropriate use of the land in Port Angeles; (s) To group together similar and
functionally related land uses; to prevent land use conflict resulting from the
unplanned intermingling of incompatible uses; (t) To conserve and restore areas of
natural beauty and other natural resources; (u) To prevent overcrowding of the land
use in the city and its environs, thus safeguarding against blight and hazards; (v) To
guide the physical development of the area through planning and planning
implementing methods; (4) The City Council established an ad hoc housing
committee on November 20, 1990, after considering that work on perfecting the
mechanism of the PRD Ordinance to allow affordable multi-family housing should
be addressed immediately by the City Council and not wait for changes under growth
management planning due by 1994; CONCLUSIONS: (A) There is a shortage of
affordable housing in general and a low vacancy rate for rental units in particular in
Port Angeles; (B) The Innovative Housing Committee's proposals are consistent with
the strategies proposed by the Clallam County Housing Needs Assessment; (C) The
proposed amendments are consistent with the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan
Goals and Policies and are based on the premise that people who live in multi-family
housing are entitled to the same suburban, neighborhood atmosphere as those living
in single family housing; (D) The proposed amendments provide incentives for
housing development at transitional densities between low density single family and
high density multi-family zoning uses and provides safeguards for compatibility of
new development to the surrounding neighborhood through the design review
process; (E) The proposed PRD amendments are in the public use and interest.
Councilman Lemon seconded the motion.
Councilman Hallett, in speaking to his motion, thanked the public and staff for the
input into this proposal. The population has not changed, but the makeup of
households has changed, which has put an increasing demand on where people live.
He considers that the Innovative Housing Committee and the Planning Commission
did a good job and the comments from the public have also helped.
Councilman Wight agreed with Councilman Hallett. The proposed amendments do
not hurt the oppommity to provide alternative types of housing for people who want
them.
Councilman Lemon expressed the hope that the Committee will continue to examine
the other housing areas needing attention.
On call for the question, the motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Sargent read the Ordinance by title, entitled

Amendments to PRD
Chapter of Zoning Councilman Hallett moved to adopt the Ordinance as read by rifle, referencing
Ordinance No. 1709 - the attached errata sheet with the corrections and clarifications as noted thereon,
Ordinance No. 2657 and to publish by summary. Councilman Wight seconded the motion, which
(Cont'd) carried unanimously.
Appeal of 2. Appeal of Conditional Use Permit, CUP 91(1019 - Sturgess, 1621 East
Conditional Use Fourth Street: Consideration of appeal of approval of a conditional use
Permit - Sturgess permit to allow a duplex in an RS-7, Residential Single-Family District
Mayor Sargent reviewed the approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow a duplex
at 1621 East Fourth Street by the Planning Commission and the appeal of that
approval which was filed by four neighbors. She opened the public hearing at 9:20
p.m.
Eunice Sturgess, 1621 East Fourth Street, corrected a misunderstanding to the effect
that a rezone was not requested. The structure is a two-level house, on two lots.
Each level has its own entrance. She is conforming to the code and other
requirements. She has no intention of disrupting the lifestyle of her neighbors.
Councilman Wight asked if the zoning lot covenant had been recorded. Mrs.
Sturgess said her son, who lives in California, owns the property and will be in town
on the weekend to take care of that.
John Teichert, 1713 East Fourth Street, was astounded at the insensitivity shown by
the Planning Commission toward the citizens of the neighborhood who submitted a
petition opposing this Conditional Use Permit. This proposal is located in the center
of the neighborhood. He reiterated the comments he had made during the hearing
on the PRD amendments. The community was developed as single-family and has
remained that way. The neighbors would like it to remain that way. He asked the
Council to overrule the Planning Commission recommendation to approve.
John Swedstedt, 1746 East Fifth Street, asked ifa house with two full sets of cooking
and bathroom facilities, but only one electric meter, was considered a duplex.
Planning Director Collins said under both the Building and Zoning Codes it would
be considered a duplex. Mr. Swedstedt addressed his concern about increased
density and demands on the present sewer system.
Lorraine Ross, 418 East Front Street, noted that, ifa building permit was applied for
to construct a duplex on the two lots and if the lots were vacant, then most likely the
application would be approved. She encouraged the Council to allow the conditional
USe.
Mrs. Sturgess, in response to the mention made of many police, fire and ambulance
calls to her property, said the building was burglarized and thereafter she put in a
burglar alarm, which has now been removed, because there were too many
complaints and too many alarm mistakes.
There being no other testimony offered, Mayor Sargent closed the public hearing at
9:44 p.m.
Councilman Nicholson noted there appears to be confusion between rezones and
conditional uses.
Councilman 0strowski moved to deny the appeal and concur with the
recommendation of the Planning Commission and approve the Conditional Use
Permit, citing the following conditions, findings, and conclusions:
CONDITIONS: (A) The applicant shall obtain proper building permits and bring the
building into compliance with local and State Building Codes prior to letting the
apartment unit for occupancy; (B) The second unit shall have its own electric meter;
(C) The applicant shall record with the County Auditor's Office a Zoning Lot
Covenant which would create one zoning lot out of the two existing Townsite lots;
FINDINGS: (1) The request is for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a duplex
within the RS-7 Zone District; (2) The second unit is incorporated into the basement
of an existing single-family home and does not extend the exterior walls of the
building; (3) The proposal meets or exceeds the minimum lot area, setbacks, and

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
December 3, 1991
LEGISLATION: open space requirements of the RS-7 Zone District; (4) The proposal will not
(Cont'd) increase the overall potential density, as it will result in two dwelling units on two
Townsite lots; (5) There are at least six (6) on-site parking spaces, which exceeds the
Appeal of Parking Ordinance requirement of two spaces per unit; (6) The basement area has
Conditional Use been modified to be occupied as a separate living unit. Without an inspection, it is
Permit - Sturgess unknown if any modifications meet the Building Code; (7) The Fire Department has
(Cont'd) inspected the building and has no objections to the second unit; (8) City Light has
noted that the building is wired for two living units, and that a second electric meter
is required; CONCLUSIONS: (A) The proposed duplex is compatible with the
surrounding single-family residential neighborhood; (B) The Conditional Use Permit
is in the public use and interest and is not detrimental to the public welfare.
Councilman Lemon seconded the morion.
Following brief discussion, on call for the question, the morion carried
unanimously.
Break Mayor Sargent recessed the meeting for a break at 9:50 p.m. The meeting
reconvened at 10:22 p.m.
Assessment Roll for 3. Final assessment roll for LID #213 - Paving 1600 Block of East 5th Street
LID g213 -
Ordinance No. 2658 The City Council previously authorized roadway construction in the 1600 Block of
East 5th Street (LID g213) in June, 1991, and a contract for the construction was
awarded to Lakeside Industries. The project was completed by the contractor in
September, and accepted by the City Council on October 30, 1991. The total cost
has been compiled ($17,165.61) and a final assessment roll has been prepared.
Mayor Sargent opened the public hearing at 10:23 p.m. There being no public
testimony, the heating was closed at 10:23 p.m. Mayor Sargent read the Ordinance
by title, entitled
ORDINANCE NO. 2658
AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles,
Washington, approving and confirming
the assessments and the assessment
roll in Local Improvement District
No. 213 for the construction of certain
improvements within the City and

thereof against certain property as
shown on said assessment roll.
Coundlman Ostrowski moved to adopt the Ordinance as read by rifle. The
morion was seconded by Councilman Nicholson and carried unanimously.
Goals & Objectives 4. City of Port Angeles Goals and Objectives
Mayor Sargent opened the public hearing at 10:26 p.m.
Del Price, The Chronicle, addressed Council and expressed the opinion that,
although well presented, the Goals & Objectives are somewhat overwhelming without
the benefit of having been prioritized. City Manager Pomeranz responded that every ·
item on the list is considered a high priority and will be addressed in some fashion
during 1992. Mr. Price noted concern with the old City Hall and queried as to
whether the Council shared in this concern. Councilman Nicholson indicated there
is a commitment to make progress on every item included on the list.
Leonard Beil, 3721 Park Knoll, shared some of the same concerns expressed by Mr.
Price and, in particular, noted concern with items which have been on the list for
years and still have not been addressed. More specifically, Mr. Beil cited the matter
of a by-pass and felt it might be advisable for the Council to establish a target date
to address this matter, as well as all other Goals & Objectives.
Mr. Beil also directed attention to such items as the sale of unused City property,
and the stewardship of land. He noted it would be worthy of consideration to trade
City-owned property for needed property acquisitions as opposed to spending money
for additional property for parks. Councilman Lemon indicated funds derived from
property sales are credited to a real estate fund for that purpose. Further,

E. Other Considerations
Agreement with 1. Agreement with Clallam County Humane Society
Clallam County
Humane Society Mayor Sargent reviewed the memorandum pertinent to the singular bid received for
animal shelter services from the Clallam County Humane Society. The bid reflected
an annual charge for services in the amount of $36,543, which exceeds the present
agreement by approximately $1,980. Councilman Lemon inquired as to whether
there was an itemization of charges and how the City payment would compare to the
County. Clerk Upton responded the amount submitted is the annual fee for services
and there was no itemization of charges; however, this was not required by the bid

2146
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
December 3, 1991
LEGISLATION: specifications. Councilman Lemon felt, in the future, it may be helpful to at least
(Cont'd) have a comparison between City and County contractual amounts.
Agreement with Councilman Wight moved to award the bid for animal shelter services to the
Clallam County Ciallam County Humane Society and authorize the Mayor to execute the
Humane Society agreement with the Humane Society for the period, January 1, 1992 - December
(Cont'd) 31, 1992. The motion was seconded by Councilman Lemon and carried
unanimously.
Agreement with 2. Agreement with Polaris, Inc., for survey services on the Wastewater
Polaris for Wastewater Treatment Plant project
Treatment Plant
Project As part of the Wastewater Treatment Plant construction, surveys are required to
establish facility locations and elevations. Polaris Engineering was originally selected
as part of the design team proposed by Brown & Caldwell, and it has been
determined advisable to enter into a separate agreement for surveying services to
avoid unnecessary mark-up and overhead expenses. Public Works Director Pittis
noted this is a professional service contract.
Councilman Ostrowski moved to authorize the Mayor to execute the contract
with Polaris to provide construction surveying services not to exceed $25,000
following DOE/EPA approval. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Nicholson.
