Contract with URS, Inc. for Professional Services Related to Downtown Watermain and Sidewalk Project Professional Services Contract for Downtown Mayor Sargent reviewed the information provided by the Public Works Department. Watermain/Sidewalk Project Councilmember McKeown moved to authorize the Mayor to sign an agreement with URS Consultants, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $108,300 for engineering design services for the Downtown Watermain/Sidewalk Project 94- 22. The motion was seconded by Councilman Ostrowski. In the ensuing discussion, it was noted there was a mathematical error in the total of the three phases for this project. City Engineer Kenworthy agreed and indicated the total' should be corrected to be $149,300. Therefore, Councilmember McKeown asked that the motion be amended accordingly, to which Councilman Ostrowski agreed. Public Works Director Pittis advised the Council that the time of the construction will be discussed with the Downtown Association.

Councilman Schueler seconded the motion. After a brief discussion, a vote was taken on the motion, which carried unanimously. 1TEMS FROM THE Councilman Ostrowski asked that the matter of the Webster Park tree clean-up be AUDIENCE/COUNCIL/ considered next on the agenda, to which Mayor Sargent agreed. STAFF TO BE CONSIDERED OR PLACED ON A FUTURE AGENDA: Webster Park Tree Webster Park Tree Clean-up Clean-up Parks Director Brodhun reviewed for the Council the history of Jessie Webster Park, which was established in 1925. As a result of the windstorm of December 12, 1995, approximately 20 trees were down, with others broken and hung up on other trees. A representative of Hermann Brothers Logging assisted by felling those damaged and hung up, for a total of approximately 28 trees downed. It was discovered that the roots of the trees appeared to be diseased, so it was decided to engage the serVices of a tree pathologist to determine a course of action. At this time, Director Brodhun introduced Dr. Charles Driver, a retired Forest Pathologist from the University of Washington, who assisted in the showing of a '2- 3181 CITY COUNCIL MEETING December 19, 1995 Webster Park Tree video depicting the damage in Webster Park. Clean-up (Cont'd) Dr. Driver then addressed the Council and explained the nature of the wood decaying fungus present in the Western Hemlocks, found on the southernmost portion of the park. He displayed a cross section of the wood showing the fungus and noted the spread is aided by root to root contact. The problem of the downed trees can be impacted by wind direction, velocity, water condition of the soils, and the fungus. Dr. Driver recommended that (1) the entire park be surveyed with special reference to all Hemlocks to determine the level of hazard and the number of trees needing to be felled; (2) observe the stand throughout the winter, particularly when a high wind is experienced, and determine if the estimates made were sound and if a second cut is appropriate; and (3) repeat a survey within a year to determine if further hazard reduction needs to occur. Dr. Driver also recommended that, on a 2 - 3 year basis, hazard reduction surveys should be conducted. Mayor Sargent inquired about how many trees might be saved, and Dr. Driver indicated that, once infested, it is a matter of time before the trees must be taken down to alleviate the hazard of a possible blow down. Mayor Sargent asked if this would affect re-planting, and Dr. Driver suggested the planting of Western Red Cedars or shrubs, as they would be the most resistant to the fungus. Councilman Schueler commented on the impacts of clay soil, standing water, and urbanization on areas such as Webster Park, to which Dr. Driver agreed. Councilman Doyle raised the question of the spread of the spores of the fungus, and Dr. Driver indicated the spores can travel as far as 5 miles. For this reason, Councilman Doyle suggested that Erickson Park also be inspected for the fungus. Dr. Driver indicated that any exposed wood be treated with borax to alleviate the possibility of the spread of the spores. Councilman Hulett inquired as to how many trees are being considered for removal, and Dr. Driver responded there may be 12 more trees to be felled. Mayor Sargent thanked Dr. Driver for his input and asked Director Brodhun if he had a recommendation for consideration at this time. Director Brodhun felt it advisable to report to the Park Board on initiating the recommended survey and then return to the Council in January so work can proceed. However, Councilman Hulett encouraged commencement of the project right away. Director Brodhun agreed that time is of the essence, and he suggested that a special meeting of the Park Board be scheduled. Councilman Ostrowski moved to authorize Director Brodhun to proceed with the plan as presented to the Council and move as quickly as possible to remove the hazard of the trees. The motion was seconded by Councilman Braun. Councilman Schueler suggested the placement of warning signs in the area of Webster Park, to which Director Brodhun agreed. A vote was taken on the motion, which carried unanimously. LEGISLATION: A. Public Hearings None. Budget Ordinance - B. Ordinances Not Requiring a Public Hearing Ordinance No. 2901 Ordinance No. 2902 1. Revising 1995 Budget and Adopting 1996 Budget Ordinance No. 2903 2. Increasing Medic I Charge 3. Revising Cemetery Fees Manager Pomeranz advised the Council that calculations had been done in comparing 1995 budgeted versus actual expenses; the City was $142,000 under budget. Also, he noted there was a re~,ised Budget ordinance distributed to the Council, correcting an inadvertent error. The Council gave consideration to the proposed allocation of hotel/motel tax funds, to include two re-applications submitted by the Visitor & Convention Bureau and the Chamber of Commerce. Mayor Sargent, assisted by Contracts Administrator Tim Smith, reviewed the nature of the two re-applications and the specific detail pertinent to both. The Grant Review Committee recommended funding to the VCB in the amount of $7,500 for a Loop Tour Promotion and $2,340 for a Medial Advertising Plan. Further, the committee recommended funding to the Chamber of Commerce in the amount of $2,000 for World-wide Web Advertising and $3,1300 for a Base Camp Video Program. Based on the committee's previous recommendation of allocations in the amount of $75,500, the above additions would increase the over-all funding level by $14,840. Administrator Smith pointed out that approximately $15,000 remains in the fund projected for 1996, and it is hoped some specific -3- 3182 CITY COUNCIL MEETING December 19, 1995 LEGISLATION: marketing for convention groups can be undertaken. (Cont'd) Discussion followed concerning the success of the committee's deliberations, and Budget Ordinance - Manager Pomeranz pointed out that the committee was very specific in its goal to not Ordinance No. 2901 allocate all of the funds unless the determination had been made that the expenditures Ordinance No. 2902 would meet the specified needs and requirements. The committee had agreed that Ordinance No. 2903 certain past efforts had not succeeded, and it was timely to try other approaches with (Cont'd) the hotel/motel tax funds. Mayor Sargent commended Administrator Smith for his leadership throughout this effort. Councilman Schueler moved to distribute the $14,840 as outlined and further, to distribute hotel/motel funds in the amount of $75,500 as previously recommended to the Council. Councilman Ostrowski seconded the motion. Councilmember McKeown moved to amend the motion to increase the allocation of $7,500 for the Museum to the amount originally requested, $12,500. Councilman Ostrowski seconded the motion for discussion purposes. Discussion followed concerning the fact that. the Marine Lab and the Museum are the only places available to tourists awaiting the ferries. It was suggested that additional funding would, therefore, be appropriate for the Museum. However, Councilman Schueler expressed the opinion that, in view of the committee's many hours of deliberation, he felt the recommendations should not be revised. Councilman Ostrowski suggested the possibility of referring this particular matter back to the committee for .reconsideration. Mayor Sargent understood the recommendation for an increase, but suggested this may be appropriate for consideration by the new Council. A vote was taken on the amending motion, with Councilmembers McKeown and Hulett voting in favor and Councilmembers Ostrowski, Doyle, Braun, and Schueler voting in opposition. The amending motion, therefore, failed. A vote was taken on the main motion, which carried unanimously. Mayor Sargent asked that Manager Pomeranz write a letter of appreciation to the members of the review committee. Concerning the matter of allocations of Human Services funds, Councilman Schueler provided information pertinent to certain programs, questions about which were raised by the Council at its last meeting. Olympic Native Harvest, a program of Diversified Industries, involves the collection and sale of native materials via wholesalers to end users. Adult Action provides adult day care for individuals unable to care for themselves; it is a program of the Lutheran Church. Concerned Citizens for the Developmentally Disabled directs individuals to various locations for help needed, no matter what the age. Discussion followed, and Councilman Schueler indicated that Council members had expressed a desire to fund the Salvation Army Emergency Assistance Program. Therefore, he proposed the following revisions to his previous recommendation: delete funding to the Evergreen Family Village, decrease funding to the Serenity House Homeless Shelter to $2,000, and provide the remaining $1,600 to the Salvation Army. Councilmember McKeown moved to accept the recommended allocations as presented, to include the changes just submitted by Councilman Schueler. The motion was seconded by Councilman Doyle and carried unanimously. Consideration was then given to the entire budget for 1996, and Finance Director Godbey commented on the proposed property tax increase, a matter which has received certain negative commentaries from members of the public. Mayor Sargent felt it important to set the record straight, as there are many erroneous conclusions being reached. Director Godbey felt it would be appropriate to address this issue once the valuations have been certified by the Council. At this time, the projections are merely estimates. Director Godbey indicated it has been particularly difficult to balance the budget, due to the County's request for jail funds. She emphasized the fact that the City will not be filling 3 positions, and the 6 % tax increase will result in only $130,000 in additional revenue. The County has requested an even higher increase, and the City will essentially experience a net decrease. Mayor Sargent read the Ordinance by title, entitled ORDINANCE NO. 2901 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles, revising the Budget for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1995, adopting the budget for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1996, and amending Ordinance 2849.

The Growth Management Act of 1990 required that the City of Port Angeles adopt a Comprehensive Plan and Development Regulations consistent with the Act and its goals. 2. Over five years ago the City of Port Angeles formed a citizens' Growth Management Advisory Committee to recommend a Comprehensive Plan and Development Regulations based on community involvement with early and continuous public participation in the planning process. 3. The Growth Management Advisory Committee met weekly for many of the months during this long planning process, and the City held numerous public meetings and public hearings on each step in this process. 4. On June 28, 1994, the City of Port Angeles adopted a Comprehensive Plan in compliance with the Act and the legislative deadline of July 1, 1994, and on June 20, 1995, the City of Port Angeles adopted its first annual update of the Comprehensive Plan in compliance with the Act. 5. A Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for proposed Zoning Map reclassification changes was issued by the City on October 3, 1995. 6. The Development Regulations including the Zoning Code and Map must be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map. 7. All properties throughout the City were reviewed for land use designation differences between the adopted Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and the Zoning Map. 8. All differences between the Comp Plan and Zoning land use designations were considered by the Growth Management Advisory Committee and the Planning Department staff, and areawide zoning reclassifications were recommended by the GMAC to the Planning Commission and the City Council for resolution of these differences. 9. All Comprehensive Plan goals, policies, and objectives, including Growth Management Goal A, Land Use Goal A, Policies A. 1 & A.2, Objective A. 1, Goal B, Goal C, Policy C.1, Goal D, Policy D.2, Goal E, Policies E.6 & E.8, Goal F, Policy F.3, Goal G, Policy G.2, Goal H, Policy H.4, Goal I, Policy 1.1, Goal J, Policy J. 1, Transportation Goal A, Goal B, Policies B. 10 & B. 13, Housing Goal A, Policies A. 1 & A.2, Ojbectives B. 1 & B.2, Conservation Goal A, Policy A.2, Economic Development Policies A. 1 & B.5, were considered by the GMAC in making recommended changes to the Zoning Regulations. 10. Notices for Zoning Code Amendments, including a new Forest Lands Zone, and 3188 Mapping Rezones, including additional public hearing notices for Zoning Map changes, were given per the City and State legal requirements for areawide zoning amendments and reclassifications. 11. Notices of the areawide zoning reclassifications and amendments were mailed to 132 different property owners of 180 properties affected by reclassifications and to 5 citizens requesting notification of changes in the Zoning Regulations. 12. Zoning classifications that permit the same uses or uses of less intensity than Comprehensive Plan land use designations are considered by the City to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 13. The Environmental Impact Statement on the Comprehensive Plan was adopted for the proposed changes in the Zoning Code Regulations. 14. A series of neighborhood public meetings were held by the Planning Commission in May, June, and July, 1995, to give the public additional notice and opportunity to review and understand the nature of the Zoning Map changes. 15. The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map is a twenty year forecast of the land supply needs for all land uses in the City of Port Angeles, and the Zoning Map designates the amount of land to be supplied for each classification of land uses at this time. 16. The Comprehensive Plan makes no designation of resource lands within the City of Port Angeles; however, property owners may wish to undertake commercial production of timber and so the Forest Lands (FL) Zone has been included as a new classification. 17. The Comprehensive Plan makes a distinction between light industrial and industrial park uses, and a new classification of Industrial Park (IP) has been added to the Zoning Code, although no land has been designated as yet. 18. Ten acres is the existing supply of land for Residential Medium Density (RMD), a more recent zoning classification, and the Planning Commission recommends a greater supply of RMI) zoned land to meet the future needs for affordable housing. 19. Testimony has been received that the vacancy rate for rental housing units is higher than was reported in the 1991 Clalllam County Housing Needs Study. 20. The City Council received public testimony from property owners in the vicinity of Area Nos. 4, 5, and 10 in opposition to the proposed rezones to Residential Medium Density (RMD). 21. The City Council considered and denied a site specific rezone request from a property owner in Area //5 on June 6,1995. 3189 22. Since the previous site-specific, medium density residential rezone for Area ID #5 was denied, no additional information supporting the rezone has been presented by the property owner, by the proponent of a low-income housing project on the property, or by anyone else. 23. The public infrastructure in the vicinty of Area Nos. 4 & 5 is substandard at this time. 24. Area ID #22 and Area ID #32 are both identified environmentally sensitive areas which are adjacent to commercial/industrial uses; however, the natural character of Area ID #22 remains undisturbed, while the natural character of Area ID #32 remains in question and subject to ongoing preservation and access analyses. 25. Area ID #24 is a surface body of water where enhancement and preservation of water quality is desired. 26. There are a number of corrections, not zoning changes, needed for the Zoning Map to reflect the various Ordinances establishing the zones, including Area ID Numbers 19, 20, 24, 51, and 72, as well as the two recent annexations along Golf Course Road and south of Melody Lane and Lindberg Road respectively, the Niichel/Hurworth property next to the Golf Course offDel Guzzi Drive, and the realigned portion of Dry Creek between Critchfield Road and Lower Elwha Road.. 27. The Public Buildings and Parks (PBP) Zone may be designated as following the top or bottom of a bluff or bank as determined by the City Engineer, and the precise boundary of such a PBP Zone will be determined by field demarcation. Conclusions: 1. The Zoning Code Amendments and Reclassifications are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the Land Use Map designations. 2. The Zoning Map changes do not intentionally create nonconforming uses. 3. The Zoning Regulation changes intentionally recognize existing and planned uses · in those areas of the City where the uses do not conform to the existing zoning or Comprehensive Plan designations. 4. The Forest Lands Zone permits coordination between the State Forest Practices Act and the City Comprehensive Plan and its development regulations. 5. The Zoning Map changes are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 6. The Zoning Map changes are in the public use and interest. 7. The Zoning Map changes reflect changes in circumstances that have occurred 3190 since the 1976 Comprehensive Plan was first adopted and has now been replaced with the 1994 Comprehensive Plan, which was updated in 1995. 8. The proposed Zoning Map changes provide an adequate land supply for the various land use classifications consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 9. More intensive development should not occur in areas with substandard infrastructure until improvements have been made. 10. Capital facilities should meet the City's concurrency requirements for Level of Service Standards before rezoning is approved. 11. Land should not be rezoned until there is a demonstrated need for uses permitted in the proposed zone. 12. Circumstances have not changed since the site specific rezone for a portion of Area #5 was denied by the City Council. Adopted by the Port Angeles City Council at its meeting of December 19, 1995.
