Presentation on Port Angeles Signage Manager Pomeranz stated that Jackson Smart of Jackson Smart Signs was present to discuss the signage proposal. Manager Pomeranz stated it has been a City Council goal for several years to improve the welcome signage at both the east and west ends of town. Clallam County has also discussed improving and developing welcome signage, and it has been anticipated that this would be ajoinf project with the County. The signage would link nicely with County plans on the east side of Port Angeles for a trail that is being developed. Manager Pomeranz stated it will not be just a sign, but a place to which people are attracted. It would serve as a cornerstone for the County and City. Manager Pomeranz introduced Rich James from the County Planning Department and County Commissioner Carole Boardman. Jackson Smart stated that, when the city approached him regarding the signage, a committee was formed, and possible sites were examined. It was felt that the Morse Creek overlook would be a perfect spot. Using a model of the sign, he indicated the sign dimensions would be 40' wide by 8' tall, and it will sit on a five-foot berm. Mr. Smart noted that AndreTM May, a horticulturist, is a member of the committee, and he was responsible for the landscape design shown in the model. Mr. Smart described how the sign was going to be constructed and what materials would be used in construction. The sign will be lighted for visibility. Rich James, Clallam County'Planning Department, stated the Morse Creek overlook is thought of as the gateway to the urban area. Part of the scenic byways grant on which he is currently working allows for the development of scenic interpretive signage, and a portion of the back panel of the sign will be used for this purpose. The Olympic Discovery Trail will go along the right side of the sign and along the northern edge of the overlook area, which is about four acres. This will, therefore, allow for parking. Mr. James felt this would be a very attractive gateway enlrance. The committee plans to apply for more scenic -3- 3615 CITY COUNCIL MEETING December 16, 1997 LEGISLATION: byways grant money, and Mr. James summarized the grant criteria which was included in (Cont'd) the information he had distributed.

Rezone Request -REZ 97-02 - Clallam County YMCA/Veteran's Center - Northwest and Southwest Corners of Third and Francis Street: Request to Rezone Request-YMCA Rezone Property from RS-7, Residential Single Family to PBP, Public Buildings Ordinance No. 2976 andParks Mayor Ostrowski asked Planning Director Collins to give a brief presentation on the issue prior to opening the public hearing. Director Collins reviewed the information contained in the packet, used the overhead projector to demonstrate the area under discussion, responded to questions posed by the Council, and clarified several issues. Mayor Ostrowski opened the public hearing at 8:40 p.m. Brooke Taylor, President of the YMCA Board of Directors, gave a brief historical review of the YMCA site. As time passed, the YMCA became a nonconforming use in an RS-7 neighborhood, and Conditional Use Permits or variances were frequently required for certain activities. Mr. Taylor stated the YMCA and the Veterans' Center are the two remaining parcels of public or quasi-publicly held property which abut the PBP zone. Thanks to a grant, the YMCA is in a financial position to enlarge their exercise room; however, a variance was necessary in order to expand. An application was submitted for a variance, the criteria were not met, and the variance was denied. The only option left was to seek a rezone. Mr. Taylor urged the Council to support this rezone request. Dan Maguire, Executive Director of the YMCA, pointed out that the YMCA is a cotnmunity service organization. The YMCA will celebrate its 50th year in Port Angeles in 1998 and, during that time, it has had a significant impact on the health and welfare of Port Angeles. Mr. Maguire urged the Council to support the rezone request. Mary Raymond, 719 East Third Street, opposed the rezone of the Veterans' Center. She stated that the YMCA has been a good neighbor, but she had questions and concerns regarding a rezone of the Veteran's Center. Ms. Raymond said many neighborhood residents had not received notification that the Veterans' Center was being added to the Y's rezone request. Ms. Raymond stated she had sent a lette/- of concern and felt the Veterans' Center rezone should be a separate issue. The neighbors should be allowed to have a say in the detenninationl If there is no proposed new use for the Veterans' Center, she did not feel a rezone was necessary. Ms. Raymond was further concerned that, if the area were to be rezoned as planned, a drag and alcohol rehabilitation center could be located there, and she did not feel that would be compatible for a residential neighborhood or a YMCA. At Mayor Ostrowski's request, Planning Director Collins responded to some of Ms. Raymond's concerns and explained that rehabilitation centers and medical facilities exist in residential areas as well; therefore, this rezone would not make a significant change in the potential for this to occur. The rezone was under consideration in order to make the current use conforming. Carol Boardman, County Commissioner, concurred with Director Collins' statements. Director Collins stated a letter had been received from the County Commissioners indicating their support of the rezone of the County property. Teny Roth, President of the Clallam County Veterans' Association, stated the Association had no objections to the application for rezone. The Veterans' Association has been meeting in that location for thirty-five years; there are no plans to change the use of the building. Mr. Roth gave a history of the building located on that site. Ms. Raymond asked what would be the guarantee that the Veterans' will stay in that -4- 3616 CITY COUNCILMEETING December 16, 1997 PUBLIC HEARINGS: building and not have someone else move in and change the use. She stated this should be (Cont'd) a separate issue fxom the YMCA, and it should be addressed at the time of a new usage. A change of usage could cause problems in the neighborhood. Mr. Roth indicated the Rezone Request-YMCA ground floor iS all that is~used at this time, as the second floor cannot be used because of Ordinance No. 2976 fire and building code regulations. Any new uses for the building would only be (Cont'd) speculation at this time· There was no further public testimony, and Mayor Ostrowski closed the public hearing at 9:05 p.m. He read the Ordinance by title, entitled ORDINANCE NO. 2976 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles rezoning property located in Blocks 2 and 3 of Cains Subdivision of Suburban Lot 21 and in Block 63 of Lewis and Mastick's Subdivision of Suburban Lot 22 fi.om RS-7, Residential Single Family, to PBP, Public Buildings and Parks, and amending Ordinances 1709 and 2801, as amended.
