APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Noting a directional error and a correction that the maker of the motion for Municipal Code Amendment
No. MCA 96-06 was Commissioner Reed not Commissioner Nutter, Commissioner Souders moved
to approve the May 22, 1996, minutes. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Reed and
passed 6 - 0, with Commissioner King abstaining.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
Commissioner Gennan left the room due to a conflict of interest with the ftrst agenda item.
PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION - MILL CREEK COURTS - Ahlvers Road:
Request for preliminary approval of an 8-10t subdivision in the RS-9, Residential
Single Family zone.
Planning Office Specialist Sue Roberds reviewed the Planning Department's Staff Report and answered
questions concerning the required minimum lot widths and the provision of utility placement. She
indicated that the applicant submitted a redesign of the preliminary drawing earlier in the day which
complies with condition No. 7 of the proposed preliminary approval. Chair King opened the public
hearing.
Harold Anderson, Quadra Engineering, 163 East Bell Street, Sequim, Wash., representing the
applicant, stated that all requirements of the City's Fire, Light, Public Works, and Planning Departments
will be met prior to the final subdivision submittal. As the project engineer, he is sensitive to the
concerns expressed by the State Dep artment of Fish and Wildlife and is conftdent that those issues can
be addressed and that a hydraulics pennit can be obtained for the project. If engineered and constructed
properly, underground detention facilities can be just as effective as above ground detention facilities.
City Engineer Gary Kenworthy responded to questions of the Conunission regarding the concerns
Planning Commission Minutes - June 12, 1996
Page 2
.
expressed in the letter from the Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) indicating Wlderground
detention is not appropriate in residential subdivisions. He did not speculate as to whether he thought
agreement could be made between the Department and the property owner on the detention system but
noted that the Planning Department's condition regarding approval by DFW prior to fmal plat approval
ensures that a hydraulics permit is required for final subdivision approval. There being no further
comment, Chair King closed the public hearing.
Following brief discussion, Commissioner Philpott moved to recommend that the City Council
approve the preliminary subdivision entitled "Mill Creek Court" with the following conditions,
findings, and conclusions:
Conditions:
1. The applicant shall create and protect a sensitive area tract in accordance with Section
15.24.070 (H) (1) of the City of Port Angeles Wetlands Protection Ordinance. The tract shall

in accordance with Scctions 15.20.070 and 15.24.070(H)(l):
a) "All lots adjoining separate sensitive area tracts identified as Native Vegetation
Protection Easements or protected by deed restriction, are responsible for maintenance
and protection of the tracts. Maintenance includes ensuring that no alterations occur
within the separate tract and that all vegetation remains undisturbed for other than
natural reasons, unless the express written authorization of the City of Port Angeles has
been received."
.
2.
The sensitive area tract shall be identified and protected on the property by a wooden split rail
fence and posted with a City wetland identification sign. Such area shall remain marked and

EPISCOPAL CHURCH: Request for vacation ofa portion of an alley abutting Block

Wetland Pennit will need to be processed prior to action on the strcct vacation. The applicant is aware
of the situation and has contracted with an engineer to begin the necessary process. The item cannot be
considered prior to the permit action.
Chair King opened the public hearing. Commissioner Reed moved to continue the hearing to August
14,1996, in order to allow processing time for the required Wetland Permit. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Souders and passed unanimously.
STREET VACATION PETITION - STY 96(06)03 - HANNAM et al.: Request for
vacation of a portion of an alley abutting Block 23, Fogarty and Dolan's addition.
Commissioner Nutter moved to move the item to the end of the agenda to allow the applicant time
to be present at the meeting. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Reed and passed
unanimously.
SUBST ANTIAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT ~ SMA 96(06)158 - PORT OF
PORT ANGELES. 939 Marine Drive: Request for a permit to allow the filling ofan
existing log pond in the IH, Industrial Heavy zone.
Planner Sa\\yer requested that the item be continued to July 10, 1996. There are details that need to be
worked out that have not been satisfied at this time. The Port is aware of the request and is in agreement.
Commissioner Philpott moved to continue the hearing to July 10,1996. Commissioner Reed
seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT - MCA 96-06 - CITY OF PORT
ANGELES. Accessory structures. City-wide: A proposal to amend Chapter 17
(Zoning) of the Port Angeles Municipal Code v,rjth regard to accessory structure
allowances in residential zones.
Planner Sawyer reviewed the Planning Department's Staff Report and explained additional proposed
wording suggested by the Planning Director. He answered questions from individual Commission
members who expressed the desire that the proposed regulations not limit the ability to allow accessory
structures ancillary to a permitted use, such as school maintenance buildings, and that the size of the
newly pennitted accessory uses not create a dominant commercial look in a neighborhood setting. There
being no further questions, Chair King opened the public hearing.
Jeff Hedlund, 2417 West Sixteenth Street, favored a "no size restriction" option for access
building/uses other than an overall lot percentage. He provided photographs of areas in the City where
larger, in some cases what appear to be nearly equal to or larger than the home, accessory structures
exist. He indicated that in these instances, the structures fit in very well and enhance the surrounding
neighborhood properties. The size of accessory structures should not be limited to a set number but
should be allowed to address the needs of individuals who own the property.
Jeff Abram, 234 Fogarty, understood the fears of neighbors that large accessory structures could, in
certain situations, appear to be out of place in residential neighborhoods, but encouraged the City to look
at the more broad aspect of property owners being allowed to adequately protect their investments and
secure expensive recreational equipment. Given the different life styles of the general public, it would
be dependent on individual property owners to maintain their individual properties in a manner that
Planning Commission Minutes - June 12, 1996
Page 6
.
would not be a detraction to a neighborhood, but that would be the case no matter what type or size of
building is constructed. He encouraged the Planning Commission to allow the public to enjoy their
properties and to be able to protect their automobiles, recreational vehicles, hobby equipment, etc., in
a safe manner. The City's zoning laws prevent the conversion of the larger accessory structures from
conversion to commercial in-home uses.
Linda de Bord, 1309 East Seventh Street, preferred a straight lot coverage restriction without further
restricting the size of accessory structures to a percentage of the permitted use or to a Building Code
number. The City has observed a straight lot coverage allowance for many years and it works.
Overzealous regulations to protect citizens are not necessary. It is very common nowadays to see a three
car garage structure in new developments with one being for a recreational vehicle. It is becoming the
norm. The restriction to 1,000 square feet for an accessory use could eliminate that privilege. People
who have achieved the ability to invest a large amount of money in recreational equipment will care for
their possessions and need the ability to secure and remove them from their neighbor's views.
William Mercer, 1127 Grant Avenue, owns a property zoned residential single~ family that contains
a 1200 square foot home. He would like to build a large accessory structure and a carport. Under the
current regulations that restrict accessory structures to 50% of the size of the residential building, he
cannot add the two accessory structures he desires. At the Chair's direction, staff responded to Mr.
Mercer that under the proposed amendment, he would be able to have more than one accessory structure,
each not totaling more than 1,000 square feet, but that the total lot coverage could not be more than the
currently permitted 30%. He stated he could live with that.
.
John Chiasson, 3407 McDougal Street, asked staff if in the case of multiple accessory structures, what
distance would be required between the structures?
At the direction of the Chair, Mr. Sawyer answered that there would be no regulations as to how close
the structures could be in the Zoning Code. Those distances would be mandated by the Building and Fire
Codes.
Mr. Chiasson then asked if under the proposed amendment an accessory structure and a carport
connected by a breezeway would qualify as meeting the proposed allowance. Mr. Sawyer answered that
he did not know the answer to that question as it would be regulated under the BuildinglFire Codes.
John de Bord, 1309 East Seventh, lives in a neighborhood where large recreational vehicles are stored
in the road and in driveways. It detracts from the area. If the allowance of more accessory structures is
increased in the City, it would allow for those vehicles to be covered in a large accessory structure on
those properties.
Mr. Sawyer clarified that in the past, Planning Department policy has required accessory structures to
be less than the size of the permitted use and the cumulative lot coverage could not be greater than the
allowed percentage of the particular zoning district. During the August, 1995, review of the City's
zoning regulations, wording that the Planning Director had considered policy for the past five years
restricting the allowable size of all accumulated uses to be less than fifty percent of the permitted use for
accessory structures was put in the Zoning Code. There being no further test~ony, Chair King closed
the public hearing.
.
There are areas in the City at present that contain property ownership of sufficient size where expanded
residential uses could occur, including homes with large animals and barns, and the possibility that future
annexations would bring these types of uses into the City that need to be addressed differently than the
more atypical smaller residential lots that currently exist in City neighborhoods. In order to begin
discussion, Commissioner German moved to recommend that an amendment be made to the
.
.
.
Planning Commission Minutes. June 12, 1996
Page 7
provision fOf accessory uses in residential areas of the City to allow that lots equal to or less than
9,000 square feet, the standard lot covefage be required with accessory stfuctures being allowed
no larger than 1,000 square feet each, non cumulative, unless otherwise permitted. For lots
greater than 9,000 square feet accessory structures and uses may exceed 1,000 square feet in size
when the Planning Director agrees that such uses afe appropriate for the neighborhood. The
motion was seconded for discussion by Commissioner Philpott.
In discussion of the motion, it was detennined that any decision of the Planning Director could be
appealed to the City Council. Many scenarios were discussed where the Planning Director would be
required to rule on these issues rather than a standard regulation that would allow some assurance of a
result. Concern was expressed by individual members that in those cases where the Planning Director
is allowed to pennit the increase of an accessory structure(s), surrounding neighbors would have no idea
and therefore no say as to the decision.
Commissioner Souders provided an example of a situation where the restriction of 1,000 square feet for
accessory structures would be micro managing and unnecessary if the straight lot coverage percentage
is the rule.
Commissioner Craver agreed that the standard lot coverage percentage is more impartial and provides
assurance to property owners.
Chair King surmised that even if the allowance for larger accessory structures is approved, there is no
guarantee that individuals will remove their vehicles or recreational vehicles from the street and build
accessory structures on their properties for that use. That is a personal decision.
Commissioner Nutter expressed some concern that the accessory structures should be subordinate to the
pennitted use of a property to ensure that residential neighborhoods remain residential in nature.
Commissioner Souders doubted that it is up to City bodies to do more than ensure that the public health
and safety issues are protected in land use issues. The City cannot dictate how neighborhoods look.
That right is up to the individuals in the neighborhoods. The 1,000 square foot maximum per accessory
structure could go beyond public health and safety concerns. She again voiced her thoughts that the
thirty percent lot coverage is sufficient.
Commissioners Gennan and Philpott withdrew the motion and second.
Commissioner German moved to recommend amendment to Chapter 17 (Zoning) of the
Municipal Code which would clarify the definition of accessory buildings or uses, the definition
of uses which are subordinate, and amendment to uses considered to be accessory in individual
zones per the draft ordinance attached as Exhibit" A" and which becomes part of these minutes.
Commissioner Souders seconded the motion which passed unanimously.
The Commission took a ten minute break at 9: 1 0 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 9:20 p.m.
The Chair then directed the Commission to return to consideration of the postponed street vacation
matter for Hannam.

vacation as requested. Chair King opened the public hearing.
Keri Hannam, 306 Hancock Avenue, requested that the matter be continued.
Commissioner Souders moved to continue the public hearing to June 26, 1996, to enable the
applicant to provide further information. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Craver
and passed unanimously.
COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC
None
STAFF REPORTS
Planning Office Specialist Sue Roberds called the Planning Commission's attention to the copy of the
approved Peach Tree Estates Subdivision distributed for review. The new property owner of the
subdivision is anxious to amend the subdivision's name to "Eagle's Lair" and has provided an amended
copy for appropriate signatures to that end. She asked the Commission to motion to allow the Chair to
sign the amended subdivision mylar to enable the plat to be refiled. Commissioner German so moved.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Reed and passed unanimously.
Plarmer Sawyer indicated a memorandum from the City's Engineer, Gary Kenworthy, to the effect that
the stormwater detention facilities required for the St. Andrew's Episcopal Church Assisted Living
Facility Conditional Use Penuit approval have been waived in lieu of suggested public stonnwater
system capacity improvements. The proposed improvements are of more value to the City than the
previously required detention. The Commission agreed that the City Engineer's action was consistent
with their intent in approving the conditional use permit.
REPORTS OF COMMISSIONERS
Commissioners Reed and Nutter noted that they would not be at the June 26, 1996, meeting.
Commissioner Philpott was disappointed that his comments regarding the bothersome and
uncomfortable pot holes on First Street have not been repaired by the State Department of
Transportation. Many motorists are not aware that it is the DOT's concern and think it is the City's
responsibility.
