PUBLIC HEARING:
SHORELINE SUBSTANTIAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT - SMA 99-01 -
RA YONIER. 700 North Ennis Street: A proposal to recover sunken logs, remove
navigational hazards by removal of a storm buoy and portions of armor rock at an
existingjetty, and removal of selected mooring dolphins at a former heavy industrial
mill site within the Port Angeles Harbor in the Industrial Heavy zone.
Chair Reed welcomed the audience and infonned those present that the environmental review
for this issue had not been finaled and the public hearing would be continued to February 10,
1999, at 7 p.m., City Council Chambers. He noted that those wishing to provide testimony
could do so, however, as the issue will be continued they may wish to delay until the February
10 meeting. He then opened the scheduled public hearing.
Dana Doloff, Director of Environmental Affairs, 1177 Summer Street, Stanford,
Connecticut, introduced technical consultants available in the audience who were ready to
respond to questions the Commission may have. He stated that it is very difficult to perform
soil sampling on Rayonier property in the Harbor with the presence of so many sunken logs.
As well as removal of the logs, the application includes a proposal to remove rock material
in the water at the end of a partially collapsed jetty for navigational safety. It is planned to
remove the dolphins and a mooring buoy west of the mill. The Environmental Protection
Authority (BPA) supports the proposal. The Department of Ecology has suggested that the
work be done with the use of a grapple rather than a clam shell. It will not be a problem to
recover logs with a grapple but it is preferred that a clam shell be approved for recovery of
the loose rock material. Rayonier will be asking for modification ofthis condition.

Planning Commission Minutes
January 27.1999 - Page 2
There being no further testimony, Commissioner Souders moved to continue the public
hearing to the February 10, 1999, regular meeting at 7 p.m. The motion was seconded
by Commissioner Craver and passed unanimously.
SHORELINE SUBSTANTIAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT - SMA 99-
02 - PORT OF PORT ANGELES. Port Angeles Boathaven. Marine Drive:
Request for a pennit to allow the replacement of a marine sewage pump out
station.
Senior Planner David Sawyer reviewed the Planning Department's staff report recommending
approval of the permit. Chair Reed opened the public hearing.
Ken Sweeney, Environmental Manager of the Port of Port Angeles, 331 West First Street,
explained that the Port applied for and received two grants in 1997 to replace sewage
pump out services at the Port Angeles Boathaven and Sequim Marina locations. He explained
that the work has already been done due to a misunderstanding. The City of Sequim
exempted the work from shoreline permit requirements. The City of Port Angeles did not.
He responded to questions from the Commission regarding construction of the pumpout
station.
There being no further comments, Chair Reed closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Souders moved to approve the shoreline substantial development permit
as requested. The motion was seconded by Commissioner King and passed 5 - 1 with
Commissioner Hewins voting in the negative. Mr. Hewins stated that the reason for his
negative vote was his discomfort that the work had already been accomplished prior to
application for the permit.
COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC
None.
