PETITION FOR ANNEXATION - LAPPIER. et al. - ANX 92(11)02.
Melody Lane to Woodhaven Lane. east of current City limits: Request for
annexation of approximately 51.66 acres of property east and south of the
current City limits.
John Jimerson reviewed the Department Report and added that a sewer/water study will
be prepared by a consultant to determine the available service capacity for the proposed
area and improvement needs. Should the Commission wish to delay action until the
results of that study are available, the Commission could continue action until the June
9th meeting. The City is also in receipt of a letter from the County Planning Department
to the County Boundary Review Board expressing approval of the annexation. In response
to a question from the Commission, Mr. Jimerson answered that the annexation petition
contains approximately 90% signatures of area property owners.
Chairman Winters opened the public hearing.
Shirle Lappier, 924 Golf Course Road, expressed concern that the City's conditions for
annexation are too strict and costly. Prior conversations with staff did not indicate the
concerns noted in the Department Report which would result in considerable expense to
the annexing property owners. The proposed area has an approximate $2,000,000
assessed value which will result in additional tax revenues to the City.
Tom Newcomb, 1772 Melody Lane, represented the Strait Corporation (KAPY Radio
station). The property exists on 5.24 acres located at the northwest comer of the
annexation area. He spoke in opposition to that property being included in the request
as it would limit future expansion needs of the radio station and tower facilities. The
property would be annexed as RS-9, Residential Single-Family, in which the existing uses
would be considered non-conforming. He did not wish to put the corporation in a
position of having to deal with the City for future expansion.
Mr. Jimerson noted that radio and television stations, provided that antennae(s) is on site
are listed as conditional use permits in the RS-9 zoning district.
There being no further questions, Chairman Winters closed the public hearing.
Ken Ridout, Deputy Director of Public Works, Steve Hursh, Light Department
Engineering Manager, Bruce Becker, Pire Department and John Jimerson answered
questions directed to staff concerning the provision of new utilities, location of existing
utilities, fire protection and rights-of-way which would be needed to adequately serve the
proposed area in the event of annexation. The City Light Department would be sharing
in the cost of provision of electric utilities. Sewerline and waterline extensions are paid
for by property owners.

The Commission agreed that there are several areas which need to be addressed further
prior to a recommendation on the proposal to the City CounciL A list of concerns was
passed to staff which will be addressed in a staff report along with the results of the
utility capacity study and electric facility cost estimates which will be completed for the
June 9th Planning Commission meeting.
Commissioner Souders moved to reopen the public hearing. Commissioner Nutter
seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Chairman Winters then reopened the
public hearing.
Rick Bradley, Woodbaven Lane, questioned whether the area would be able to use
P.U.D. water service since it is available on-site. He questioned how far the sewerline
would have to be extended to service the area.
Grant Munro, 1765 East Woodhaven Lane, asked if large animals such as horses are
allowed in the RS-9 District.
Shirle Lappier, 924 Golf Course Road, asked if they could hook into the P.U.D.
sewerline being placed in the area.
Ken Ridout answered that the P. U. D. does not have a sewerline in the area. Mrs.
Lappier did not agree. Mr. Ridout would contact P.U.D.
Bruce Becker indicated the area at present has a Class 9 fire rating but if served by the
City's professional fire department would be upgraded to a Class 4. Proposed
improvements to the area to assist in fire protection were generally discussed but it was
stated they would be phased in when required.
There being no further comment, Commissioner Souders moved to continue the issue
to June 9, 1993, at 7 P.M., City Council Chambers. Commissioner Nutter seconded
the motion, which passed unanimously.
Commissioner Campbell informed those present that he is a resident of Milwaukee Drive.
Because there are three items on the agenda that deal with proposals in the general area,
and one directly, Commissioner Campbell indicated he would step down from the
proceedings if anyone in the audience objected. There were no objections. John
Jimerson stated that due to preparation errors, the three subdivision applications on the
agenda are to be continued to allow the applicant time to have the preliminary plats
prepared by a licensed surveyor; however, the public hearings would be conducted as
scheduled.

PRELIMINARY APPLE TREE SUBDIVISION - PETREE. 16th to
18th and "0" Streets: Request for preliminary subdivision approval for
a 17-10t subdivision of 5.23 acres in the RS-9, Residential Single-Family
District.
John Jimerson reviewed the Department Report. Chairman Winters opened the public
hearing.
Matt Petree, 1720 "Oil Street, stated his concurrence with the City staff's
recommendation that the item be continued to the June 9, 1993, Planning Commission
meeting in order to have the plat prepared by a licensed land surveyor.
Ida McKeown, 2510 West Tenth Street, stated her concern on the impacts the
development would have to schools in the area. The schools are grossly overcrowded at
present and new construction is not being facilitated at the present time.
.
Chairman Winters noted that the Commission is aware of the school situation and is
concerned. The school problem is a situation the community must deal with as a whole.
An April 28, 1993, memorandum to the Commission indicates that the Planning Director
intends to modify the Mitigated Determinations of Non-Significance issued for the three
subdivisions proposed by Mr. Petree to address the school facilities as a part of the
development of a Capital Facilities Plan Element policy, including consideration of such
measures as impact fees in the adoption of the City's Comprehensive Plan consistent with
the Growth Management Act.
Steve Olson, 1420 South "Oil Street, drew attention to the Peach Tree Estates
development at the corner of 18th and "0" Streets, done by the same developer. The
area is being entirely developed in mobile homes, yet is zoned RS-9. He is concerned
that another development of this type in the area could cause a negative impact on
neighborhood valuations.
Chris Crowson, 2216 West Twelfth Street, asked that the Commission readvertise the
continued public hearings in the event a decision is not reached on the three proposed
subdivisions. Chairman Winters concurred.
John Huston, 2438 west Twelfth Street, stated he is not opposed to a standard
residential subdivision in the area. He was aware when he purchased his home of the
area zoning and expected that someday development consistent with that zoning would
occur. He is opposed to anything but typical single-family development for the area at
present.
.
There being no further comment, Chairman Winters closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Alexander moved to reopen and continue the public hearing to June
9,1993, at at 7 P.M., City Council Chambers. Commissioner Souders seconded the
motion, which passed unanimously.

REZONE REOUEST - REZ 93(05)06 ~ PETREE. 16th to 18th and "0"
Streets: Proposal for rezone of 5.23 acres of RS-9, Residential Single-
Family zoned property to RMD, Residential Medium Density.
John Jimerson reviewed the Department Report recommending approval of the rezone
request. Chairman Winters opened the public hearing.
Matt Petree, 1720 "0" Street, said he plans to restrict the development to 34 duplex
units.
John Huston, 2438 West Twelfth Street, stated that he represents 232 people in the area
who oppose the proposed rezone to RMD. He presented petitions with those signatures
to Chairman Winters. The Comprehensive Plan encourages preservation of residential
single-family neighborhood characteristics. When homes are purchased in low density
residential areas, it is expected by purchasers that the complexion of the neighborhood
will not dramatically change. Hamilton School is 130% of capacity at the present time;
a rezone to RMD would add to that burden much more significantly than would normal
residential development of the area. One RMD rezone in the area has been approved
recently and is all the area can support.
Doris Ketchum, 2421 West Eighteenth Street, stated that she is "sandwiched" between
the recently approved RMD rezone property and the proposed rezone. She is concerned
about her property values and security. She asked that if the rezone is approved, her
property be approved for rezone at a future time as well.
Howard Reidel, 2435 West Sixteenth Street, stated that he is not opposed to residential
single-family development in the area, but the proposal to rezone property in this area to
RMD violates social objectives found in the Comprehensive Plan which encourage
preservation of the identity of neighborhood characteristics. He noted the manufactured
home community look of the current development being done by the applicant in the
neighborhood in question. He stated his opposition to the proposed rezone to RMD.
Steve Olson, 1420 South "0" Street, stated his strong objection to the proposed rezone.
There is no assurance that the developer will hold the density to 34 units as stated.
Don and Judy Zimmerman, 674 Hunt Road, are opposed to the rezone proposal. Mrs.
Zimmerman stated that the community loses faith in the City's ability to assure
neighborhood identity if rezones are so easily allowed.
There being no further comment, Chairman Winters closed the public hearing.
In response to Commissioner Philpott, Mr. Collins answered that a successful rezone
could allow a potential 65 units on the site.

Commissioner Alexander indicated the City's proposed Comprehensive Land Use Map
designates the area low density.
Commissioner Souders stated that her neighborhood consists of a mixed use of single-
family residential, multi-family and a mobile home, and the uses are acceptible.
Commissioner Philpott noted a multi-family development should address sewer, water,
and school issues. This rewne would allow an increase in density that the area cannot
handle.
Commk~ioner Alexander moved to recommend denial of the request for rezone as
requested citing the following:
Findines:
1. The request is for rezone of roughly 5.23 acres of property described as
Suburban Lot 101, except tax lots 837 and 6282, Townsite of Port Angeles.
2.
The Comprehensive Plan identifies the site as suburban residential
environment. There are a number of Goals, Policies and Objectives which
have been identified as being relevant to the rezone including Goals Nos. 3
& 5; Residential Policies Nos. 4-5 & 15-18; Social Objectives Nos. 1, 2 & 3;
and Land Use Objectives Nos. 1-2 & 4-6.
3. The City of Port Angeles SEPA Responsible Official issued a Determination
of Non-Significance for the rezone on March 31, 1993.
4. Property surrounding the site on three sides is zoned RS-9 and east of the site
is zoned Public Buildings and Parks (PBP).
5. Tbe site is undeveloped.
6. Eighteenth Street serves as the only arterial to the site. "0" Street has not
been improved.
7. The draft Comprehensive Plan land use map identifies this area as low
density resdiential. Other areas along 18th Street are identified for medium
density residential development.
8. The Port Angeles School District is overcrowded and the nearest elementary
school (Hamilton) is at 130% of its student capacity.
.

PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES

Conclusions:
A. The rezone is not in the public use and interest and is not compatible with the
surrounding zoning. The area is primarily a single family large lot
neighborhood.
B. The rezone may not be consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies relating
to suburban residential environment and preservation of neighborhood.
C. Circumstances have not changed in the immediate vicinity to indicate that
RMD zoning is more appropriate than the existing RS-9 zoning. The area
has generally been developed as a large lot single family neighborhood. The
Comprehensive Plan land use map as recommended for approval by the
Planning Commission identifies other areas in the vicinity for medium density
residential, but proposes to maintain this area as low density residential.
D. Development of this property at higher densities would be detrimental to the
Port Angeles School District, which is currently overcrowded and exceeding
student capacities.
Commissioner Souders seconded the motion.
In speaking to his motion, Commissioner Alexander noted the proposed draft
Comprehensive Land Use Map does not designate the area for high density development.
He was reluctant to forward a recommendation to the City Council contrary to the
recommendations of the proposed map when the Council has not made a decision on the
proposal as yet. The second reason for the motion to deny is the overburden to the
school system which cannot be ignored. The question was called for and passed
unanimously.
PRELIMINARY OLYMPIC VIEW ESTATES SUBDIVISION -
PETREE. 2300 Block of West 10th Street: Request for preliminary
subdivision approval for a 31-lot subdivision of 9.20 acres in the RS-9,
Residential Single-Family District.
Commissioner Campbell retired from the meeting room due to a conflict of interest.
John Jimerson reviewed the Department Report. Chairman Winters opened the public
hearing.
Matt Petree, 1720 "0" Street, said that when he initially contacted the City concerning
development of subdivisions in the City, he was told about the requirements regarding
water, sewer and roadway improvements. The City is now imposing requirements
regarding capital facilities, such as schools. The schools are overcrowded, that is a fact.
If the City feels conditions could be imposed which would make the subdivision more
compatible, he will abide. He agreed with staff concerning continuation of the hearing

so that an appropriate submittal could be made and asked that the item be continued to
the regular meeting of July 14, 1993.
Mrs. Bonita Bogan, 722 Milwaukee Drive, stated her concerns that the developer's
proposed ingress/egress from Milwaukee Drive will negatively impact the neighborhood.
Milwaukee Drive is heavily used as a footpath by young and older alike, and due to its
curving configuration, the possibility for an accident would be greatly increased if the
development proposal has' entrances on. Tenth Street with one on Milwaukee Drive.
Milwaukee Drive access should be eliminated, and would not affect the general
circulation pattern of the development, but would be desirable to Milwaukee Drive
residents. She opposed the proposed subdivision layout due to its access/egress to
Milwaukee Drive.
George Robuck, 2508 West Tenth Street, did not feel Tenth Street is more desirable
than Milwaukee Drive as an accessIegress to the proposed site. Those who walk on
Milwaukee Drive also walk on Tenth Street. Tenth Street is regularly heavily used by
teenagers traveling to its west end.
Larry Ledbetter, 2230 West Tenth Street, agreed that Tenth Street in this location is
heavily used by teenagers traveling to a popular area at its west end.
Wayne Shields, 806 Milwaukee Drive, suggested an alternate route to IIN" Street from
the proposed subdivision rather than onto Milwaukee Drive, perhaps east to "N" Street
between Tenth and Milwaukee.
There being no further comment, Commissioner Souders moved to continue the public
hearing to July 14, 1993, 7 P.M., City Council Chambers. Commi~ioner Alexander
seconded the motion which passed unAnimously.
The Commission took a break at 10:08 P.M. The meeting reconvened at 10:15 P.M.
Commissioner Campbell returned to the meeting room and took his seat at the dais.
PRELIMINARY ROLLING HILLS ESTATES - PETREE. Northwest

Single-Family District.
John Jimerson reviewed the Department Report. Chairman Winters opened the public
hearing.
Matt Petree, 1720 non Street, stated that he intends to develop the subdivision with
conventional homes. He was concerned that the development could be hindered because
of the overcrowding of local schools. He will install all required improvements. He
agreed with staff that the item should be continued to allow him to resubmit appropriate

drawings for review of the preliminary subdivision. He asked that the item be continued
to July 14, 1993.
Elaine Zimmerman, 674 Hunt Road, said she is considering purchase of property in the
area. This is a very desirable area with large homes. She would not purchase the
property if it were developed into a mobile/manufactured home subdivision.
Steve Olson, 1420 South "0" Street, said this is a beautiful property with great
potential. He asked if conditions could be placed on the development by either the City
or the developer to assure conventional housing. Planning Director Brad Collins said that
would not be enforceable.
Tim German, 1482 Gasman Road, said that covenant restrictions could be voluntarily
filed for the property by the property owner/developer if he desired which would restrict
future development.
Joe Robuck, 2508 West Tenth Street, asked if there is another method by which
building types can be assured. Director Collins answered that the process is called the
Planned Residential Development (PRD).
There being no further comment, Commissioner Souders moved to continue the item
to the July 14, 1993, meeting of the Commission. Commissioner Nutter seconded
the motion, which passed unanimously.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT ~ CUP 93(05)05 - CITY OF PORT

Department main headquarters in the CSD-Community Shopping District.
John Jimerson reviewed the Department Report. Chairman Winters opened the public
hearing.
Bruce Becker, City Fire Marshall, stated that the Department Report adequately
addressed the request and that he would answer any questions.
There being no questions from the audience, Chairman Winters closed the public hearing.
Following brief discussion concerning setbacks in the underlying zoning district,
Commissioner Souders moved to approve the permit as requested citing the following
findings and conclusions:

1.
The request is to allow reconstruction and expansion of an existing fire
station on Lots 5-9, Block 167, Townsite of Port Angeles.

John Jimerson reviewed the Department Report. Chairman Winters opened the public
hearing.
Bruce Becker, City Fire Marshall, stated the Department Report adequately addressed
the request and that he would answer any questions. Commission members directed
questions to Mr. Becker concerning access to the site and parking on-site which has been
used for surrounding businesses for some time. He answered that those businesses which
currently use the property for required parking for their operations would be contacted
in order not to interrupt their services. Access will be through the alley to prevent truck

maneuvering on Front Street. It is anticipated that response will be by way of the
Front/First Street alley to either Washington or Chambers Streets then in the appropriate
direction from that point. Concern was expressed that at times Front and First Streets
are impassible or crossable. Signage, parking restrictions and temporary light
improvements were discussed. Mr. Becker said he would pass the information along to
the appropriate persons for review and that the Fire Department would do whatever is
necessary to ensure the safety of residents and motorists in the transition period.
Tim German, 1482 Gasman Road, spoke in favor of the request.

COMMUNICA TIONS FROM THE PUBLIC
There was discussion with Tim German, 1482 Gasman Road, concerning the drawbacks
he sees in the PRO process. The PRD process doesn't work well for single-family
development because of the open space requirement. He also explained the difference
in mobile home and manufactured home construction, as it had been a topic of concern
in the earlier meeting.
STAFF REPORTS
None.
REPORTS OF THE COMMISSION
Commissioner Alexander noted that when mobile and manufactured homes became
permitted uses in the City (1985), the possibility of entire manufactured subdivisions was
not considered, rather the use of the units in single-family neighborhoods. It was agreed
that the issue should- be reviewed.
Commissioner Nutter expressed concern that there are no bicycle pathways proposed in
areas where large developments are occurring. The City should plan for such uses while
these developments are being planned. Park and recreational uses should always be
considered when reviewing new subdivisions, as well as the maintenance of those
facilities.
Director Collins noted that state law requires schools, parks and recreational facilities tonbe addressed when review of subdivision occurs.
