APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Several typographical corrections were noted. A discussion regarding the portion of the minutes
relating to SMA 01-02 occurred with Chair Nutter stating that staff was directed to compile the
minutes to accurately reflect what occurred on April 25th. Chair Nutter ruled that the minutes should
be adopted and that discussion on the specific application should occur after approval of a motion
to amend "something previously adopted" in order to correct what the Commission feels is
necessary. Staff concurred with the ruling. Discussion followed as to which method should be used
to further clarify the intent of the Commission's motion on SMA 01-02. Commissioner Hewins
moved to table the approval of the minutes until staff makes the minor corrections and adds more
detail relating to how staff compiled the conditions that the Commissioners voted on. Commissioner
Craver seconded the motion which passed 7-0.

noted that they did not recall that there was any intent for the building to be included in Condition
#3. There was also discussion on Conditions #1 and #5. Commissioner Schramm noted that Finding
#4 is incorrect as it describes previous designs. Discussion occurred on the need for a
reconnaissance study noted in Condition # 1, Discussion occurred regarding the role of the W A
Department of Fish and Wildlife and other resource agencies in the permit process, as well as the
SMP requirement for a reconnaissance study. Staff summarized this specific requirement adopted
in the SMP, the definition of critical habitat and the additional scrutiny that is placed on permit
decisions by the various agencies.
Commissioner Norton moved to amend Condition #1 to add the proper description of the deck size
as provided below. Commissioner Craver seconded the motion which passed unanimously.
1. The footings for the proposed 10 foot by 30 foot (300 s.f.) deck shall be located landward
of the top of the rip rap structure which is approximately 9 feet easterly of the edge of the
paved patio area. No alteration of the riprap structure shall be made for footing placement,
including fill. The lUlcovered deck can extend easterly over the riprap upon obtaining permit
approval by the various resource agencies no further than 10-feet from the eastern edge of
the building, for a maximum 6-feet over the top of the riprap, and upon the submittal of a
reconnaissance study in accordance with Chapter 4(F)(9) of the Shoreline Master Program
to the City of Port Angeles for review and approval, which may result in additional
conditions and/or mitigation measures, and upon Port approval to address maintenance
access.
After a discussion on the wording and explanation by Commissioner Schramm of his intent of
suggesting this condition, Commissioner Philpott moved to amend Condition #2 to remove the word
Hall" as provided below. Commissioner Porter seconded which passed unanimously.
2. No excavation or construction of the building or deck shall occur until staff review has been
made and aH-permits have been obtained.

provided below. Commissioner Schramm seconded the motion which passed 6-1 with
Commissioner Hewins voting against, noting that a comprehensive review of the erosion problems
should occur prior to any construction.
3. Repair of the eroded riprap area requires either a substantial development permit, or
shoreline exemption, depending on the scope of the repair, in addition to other agency
approvals and is not authorized as a part of this permit. Such repair shall be made prior to
any construction of the building 01 deck.
Commissioner Norton moved that Condition #4 not be amended. Commissioner Craver seconded
which passed unanimously.
4.

the Port of Port Angeles shall authorize joint use of the parking lot and shall assure that use
