RE:
Meeting scheduled for May 21, 1968
{Memo for informational purposes only)
-
I have received and posted 5 requests for variances to be heard
at this meeting.
First, is a Condi ti ona1 UsePermi t reque s ted by the Community
Players to erect a building and conduct educational and
cultural activi ties in am;RS-7 zone. This is to be located
at 8th and Liberty Streets.
Second, Robert Seat of 740 West 5th Street has requested a
variance from the regulations of an RS-7 zone to permit him
to construct a double garage and carport 10 feet off the
alley and 10 feet off the east margin of nAn Street.
Third, John Waldron of 1004 West 13th Street has requested a
variance to enlarge an existing, non-conforming building in a
CSD-Cl zone. The building is too near the alley and Section 7
Art. X page 57 prohibits SFR in commercial districts. (1 dis-
covered this sometime after I had issued a building permit for
the house at 14th & "C"). When posting this notice I found work
had already been started.
Fourth, Allen G. Jensen of 910 South Pine has requested a ~
variance to construct a carport closer to the alley than per-
mitted in an RS-7 zone. He proposes to roof over his present
parking site between his fence and the south side of his house.
Fifth. C. A. Correll of 830 West 13th Street has requested a
variance on a hardship basis to enable him to locate a small
trailer on the rear of his property. This would be used tem-
porarily as a bedroom. (This situation represents about the
most clear-cut hardship case I think we have had. Mr. Correll's
86 year old mother is blind and now lives alone in a small
rental, about one block from him. The family must continually
go back and forth to care for her. I suggested adding a room
to the house, but after investigating this. Mr. Correll felt
this was impossible financially, as they have recently lost a son
who died of unsuspected diabetes. The trailer is to be loaned
by a friend and they plan to let their oldest daughter use it
for a bedroom and accomodate the mother in the house.)

Minutes of Port Angeles Planning Commission meeting of May 21. 1968.
Present: Hunt. Anderson, Hankins, Dilling, Driscoll and Building
Inspector Willson.
Absent:
Treat, McHone and Director of Public Works Warder.
Minutes of previous meeting were approved as published.
Five requests had been received and properly posted for hearing
at this time.
The Community Players had requested a Conditional Use Permit to
enable them to construct a building to house their educational
and culturai activities in an RS-7 zone. This property is
located at 8th and Liberty Streets. A discussion concerning the
location of the structure on the property and the available area
for off-street parking followed. The Planning Commission was
satisfied that adequate parking will be available by the time
property donations have been completed. Other questions of
building placement are to be worked out after firm plans are
available. It was recommended that a Conditional Use Permit be
gFanted.
e
Robert Seat of 740 West 5th Street had requested a variance from
the regulations of an RS-7 zone which would permit him to construct
a combination double garage and carport closer to the east margin
of "A" Street ~an permitted. After discussing a convers~tion
one of the members had had with Mr. Seat and the request submitted.
it was voted to table the request and the secretary was directed
to contact Mr. Seat for further information.
John Waldron of 1004 West 13th Street had requested a variance to
enable him to enlarge an existing, non-conforming structure,
single family residence, in a CSD-Cl zone. After a short dis-
cussion, the commission voted to recommend approval of this
request.
e
Allen G. Jensen, 910 South Pine Street, had requested a variance
from the regulations of an RS-7 zone which would permit him to
construct a carport between his house and his fence, abutting
the alley. This does not meet the setback requirements from the
alley. In view of the manner in which the abutting properties
have been developed, the Planning Commission felt this request
would not be detrimental to the neighborhood and recommended
approval of the request to construct an open carport to within
one foot of the existing fence paralleling the alley.
The request ot C. A. Correll of 830 West 13th Street for permission
to install a travel trailer on the rear of his property to be used
as a temporary bedroom was strongly recommended for approval after
hearing a summary of the circumstances necessitating the request.
It is further recommended that Mr. Correll be required to get
annual approval for the continuation of this variance as needed.
D. W. Eacrett was present to answer any questions concerning his
request for a rezoning of the South half of Suburban Lot 76 for

mobile home sites. The Planning Commission were advised that Mr.
Eacrett plans to have the area develope in the same manner as the
Grandview Heights area immediately west of his property. The
main difference being one of property ownership, in that Mr.
Eacrett proposes to lease his land rather than sell to the indivi-
duals. The lots are to be 50' x 140' (correction to sketch sub-
mitted with request). The Planning Commission voted to recommend
approval of rezoning this area from RS-9 to RTP. Contingent upon
Mr. Eacrett being required to dedicate right-of-way for all abutting
streets and alleys and make satisfactory arrangements for the
extension of utility services, opening of road ways and meeting
the requirements of the Health District in respect to his septic
tank and drainfield installations.
Mr. E. L. McWilliams was present with his surveyor Mr. Darrell
Peterson. to explain revisions which they had made in the sketch
submitted of a proposed plat called "Seamount Estates" at 10th
and "N" Streets. The revised sketch was accepted for further
stud Y .

After an informal discussion of several items which the members
brought up the meeting was adjourned at 8:50 P.M.
