Minutes of the regular meeting of the Port Angele s Planning Commission
March 19, 1957.
,fit
Members present were McGee, Reiners, Hampton, Driscoll, Hankins and Strange.
Also present was James F. Hooker, Acting City Engineer.
Minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved.
First order of business was the consideration of an application for a
variance from the zoning ordinance by Mrs. Ruth Husung on Lot-14, Block-31,
Norman R. Smith's Subidivision of the Townsite of Port Angeles, being at
119 East 2nd. Mrs. Husung's application is for permiesion to build a garage
with apartment overhead on the north or alley end of her lot. While this is
in a first business zone, the density of population requirements on property,
when occupied for residence purposes, applies as if it were in a first
residence zone. Taking into consideration the location and recognizing that
immediate neighbors are at the present time renting rooms and that immediately,
acrOBS the street is located the Uptown Motel, it was the unanimous opinion
of the members present, after a thorough discussion, that we recommend to the
Council that MrS. Husung's application be approved.
NeKt order of business was consideration of an a plication for a building
permit by Mr. Leo Ra and owner of the North 1 2 of a double lot at 12th
and Laurel Streets. Mr. aymond'S request from the building inspector was
a permit to build a garage within three feet of the easterly line of his
property, and while this is at variance with the sideyard requirements of
first residence district regulations. The Commission recognizes that when
property is divided in this manner, hardships arise if the owner is forced to
comply in every respect, it was there~or the unanimous opinion of those
present that Mr. Raymond's application be approved.
I
for
e.
Nect order of business was the cOBsideration of the application of the County
of Clallam for the vacation of the alle in Block 55 townsite, the location
of t e present County garage. Inasmuch as the ounty is the sola owner of
all property within this block and it appearing that no particular damage
would accrue from granting their request, it was unanimously passed that the
Planning Commission recommend to the City Council that the appl~ation of
the County be approved with the City reserving the rights of way for public
utilities.
A general discussion was then held on the proposed sanitary sewer intercepter
system and its financial problems as they would effect the City and it was
generally agreed that our group would offer to meet with Mr. Vergeer in the
near future and o~fer our services to aid in any way we can in helping to
solve the various problems.
No further business appe~ing, meeting adjourned at 9:30 P.M.
