\~ Minutes of the regular meeting of the Port Angeles Planning Com~ission
July 30, 1963.
Members present were Anderson, Hankins, Hunt, Reiners and Strange.
Also present were Councilman Ivor Smith, City Manager Donald D. Herrman
and City Engineer John Warder.
Minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved.
Inasmuch as this meeting had been scheduled to carryon a further study
of proposed arterial improvements especially pertaining to the use of
gas tax and City matching funds, the group immediately began a discussion
along these lines. Nearly every item in the long list of suggested
projects as submitted by Mr. Warder were discussed and it was tentatively
agreed that our group approve the schedule as proposed for the years
1963 and 1964.

One of the principal projects discussed was the improvement required to
make a better connection of Front Street extended east with the proposed
improvement of Highway 10l as being considered by the State Highway Dept.
~he proposed improvement to Highway lOI will consist of four lanes for
traffic together with a decelerating lane in the area of the Front
street turn-off. The matter of purchasing progerty in the vicinity,
which would allow more area for locating the roadway, was discussed and
it was finally determined it would be too costly to attempt this at
the present time, however, the purchase of an additional narrow strip
to widen the Right of Way was deemed practical. This would allow a
decided improvement in the present allignment which would probably
be sufficient until the traffic builds up to warrent a further
improvement.
Next meeting is scheduled for August 20th.
No further business appearing, meeting adjourned at 9:30 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
H. H. Hankins, Secretary
.
