B. B. McNeece City Clerk PUBLISHED: 5e ptember 3, 1970 e \ . e e . . Minutes of the Port Angeles Planning Commission Meeting of August 24, 1970. Present: Acting Chairman Anderson, Sannes, McHone, Treat, Dilling, Young, and Secretary Willson. Absent: Hunt The meeting was opened at 7:30 p.m. in the Municipal Chambers. Minutes of the previous meeting were approved as received. Old Business Wood Construction Co., through Alpine Realty, had requested a con- ditional Use Permit to construct a duplex on Lot 20 and the east one-half of Lot 19, Block 415 Townsite in an RS-7 Zone. This request had been tabled at the last meeting, when neighboring property owners present indicated op- position to the request. The Secretary had been directed to prepare a pro- test map. A map had been prepared and two inquiries about protesting pro- cedures had been handled from this area, but no protests had been filed. A lengthy discussion fOllowed, during which Mr. Gene Gase of Alpine Realty spoke in support of the request and answered questions. The Planning Com- mission did not question the need for the units, nor the location in an RS-7 Zone, but did express concern for the grouping of several units on adjoining lots, the quality of construction and the appearance of flrow housingTT conveyed by the plans. Mr. Gase indicated the structures would meet minimum building code requirements and that the exterior appearances would be varied enough to prevent !trow housinglT identity. A motion was made and voted to recommend to the City Council approval of the request for this Conditional Use Permit. Wood Construction Co., had a second request for a Conditional Use Permit for a duplex on the west one-half of Lot 19 and all of Lot 18, Block 415 in the RS-7 Zone, similar to the above. In addition, this application also included a request for a variance from the sideyard requirements. This request was partly discussed in covering the application preceding and the same items apply. Further, Mr. Gase indicated that carports, shown as attached to the east and west sides of this building would have to be detached and erected as an accessory structure on the back of the property. It was moved and voted to recommend approval of this Conditional Use Permit for this duplex, and detached accessory building for the carports, with all set back requirements to be observed and no variance granted. It was felt there was no justification for the variance. New Business - Three Variance or Conditional Use Permit Applications had been received and properly posted for hearing at this time. Wood Construction Company, through Alpine Realty, had requested a Conditional Use Permit to allow the construction of a duplex on Lot 10 and west one-half of Lot 9 Block 416 Townsite, located on the southeast corner of the 14th and lTAII Street intersection. The same discussion applied as in the previous two applications. The observation was made that this con- gregating of duplexes certainly was not desirable. The intention of allow- ing duplexes in an RS-7 Zone was to maintain the single-family residential character of the area, but to permit duplexes to be scattered throughout. ~ From the number of requests concentrated in this one block area of "All Street e e e Minutes - Planning Commission August 24, 1970 Page 2 ~. it appeared that such saturation' could alter the single-family designation of the neighborhood. It was further noted that this same thing could well occur with apartments on a Conditional Use basis and the community would have no areas assured of a single-family development only. Following con- siderable discussion it was voted to recommend approval of this request for a Conditional Use Permit. James T. Bairey had requested a ConditionillUse Permit to allow him to construct a duplex in the RS-7 Zone on the south 94.5 feet of Lots 1 and 2 and that portion of the 20 feet vacated alley abutting the west line of said Lot 2, Block 4 Pennsylvania Park Addition. This property lies north of Spruce Street and west of Fairmount Avenue. After a brief discussion, it was voted to recommend the request be approved. Ben F. Church had requested a variance to permit him to construct an addition to a pre-existing non-conforming, single-family residence at 516 South TlCI! Street. The present structure sits close: to the south margin of the alley and the west margin of TlCl! Street than permitted in an RS-7 Zone. Mr. Church was present and answered questions of the Planning Commission. A short discussion Ensued and members voted to recommend the request be approved. Johnie S. Key had requested approval to install a septic tank on Lots 14 and 15, Block 6 Illinois Addition. This property is located on the southeast corner of Campbell and MacDougal Streets. The Secretary reported he had received approval from the District Health Office. It was voted to recommend this septic tank installation be permitted. Mr. Key also inquired if it would be possible to obtain approval for three more septic tanks on adjoining property at this time to enable him to avoid future delays in pro- cessing these applications. The Acting Chairman advised Mr. Key this would be defeating the intent of this ordinance which was to provide the City Council with the power of denial should soil conditions so require in the future. Other Business A rezoning application was received from the City Council for consider- ation and recommendation. This application was submitted by Lorraine Ross on behalf of Jack Del Guzzi, for reclassification of Lots 6 to 10 inclusive, Block 11 and Lots 11 to 16 inclusive of Block 16 Puget Sound Cooperative Colony 2nd Addition to a zoning permitting multi-family construction. The application indicated required plans would be submitted. It was then voted to table the application until such time as all pertinent data is received. The Secretary was director to report on the status of street and alley vacations in this vicinity, also. An inquiry had been received regarding the required setback of detached, accessory structures, on the rear, one-third of a corner lot, in the RTP Zone. After a short discussion the Secretary was advised that the same setback from the street side as required for the primary building was the intention. and the meeting was adjourned at 9:00 p.m. No further ~ ?P~~ erson, Actlng C alrman
