presented by staff. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Robotkay and passed

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
ANNEXATION REQUEST - ANX 99-02 - TURNER, Old Joe Road and Doyle
Road: Request for annexation of approximately 4.53 acres to the City of Port
Angeles. (This item was originally considered on August 25, 1999. The intended
action required a revised petition.)
Planning Director Collins reviewed the Planning Department's report indicating that the
petition originally received from the applicants did not include portions of abutting rights-of-
way which the Planning Commission recommended be included following a public hearing
conducted on September 8, 1999. Therefore, a new petition was submitted to correct that
situation. Staff's position has not changed and the September 8, 1999, Planning Department
Staff Report was noted as part of the record. A letter from Patty McCullough, 302 Doyle
A venue, received on September 21, 1999, was included in the new record. A letter received
October 13, 1999, from the petitioners, was noted. Chair Hewins opened the public hearing.
Margo Tumer, 3904 South Reddick Road, Port Angeles, stated that she has nothing new
to add to staffs report. Development concerns will be addressed at the time development
is anticipated. There are no firm plans at this time.

Cynthia Shillington, 322 Doyle Road, Port Angeles, opposed the annexation. The lack of
utilities restricts the development at present where if annexed to the City, utilities would be
made available. The property could develop to a much higher density if annexed into the City
which the neighbors oppose. Annexation of the area could open the door to more annexation
in the area which would result in a more urban environment than what is desired.
Paula Gustafson, 39 Doyle Avenue, Port Angeles, stated that bear, eagles, hawk, deer, and
possibly cougar have been witnessed in the area. An increase in traffic, which could be the
result of annexation, would negatively affect the animal population. The accident rate at
Doyle Road and Highway 101 is very high. Two accidents have occurred at that location in
the previous week. Annexation would cause more congestion at the confusing intersection.
Monica McGoff, 133 Doyle Avenue, Port AlIgeles, is not against development but is
opposed to more development in the area than is there at present. She did not believe that
anyone in the area opposes the zoning that currently exists (residential). The State
Department of Transportation has listed the Doyle A venuelHighway 10 lrrumwater Truck
Route intersection as a high priority for upgrade due to accidents. She opposes participation
in utility improvements in the area which may be brought about or caused by annexation
including upgrades to roadways. Old Joe Avenue is very narrow. If further development
occurs in the area, both Doyle and Old Joe Avenues need to be upgraded.
.
Director Collins clarified in response to Mrs. Shillington that the proposed annexation area
can actually be developed to a greater density while in the County than if annexed to the
City. The county's existing Low Density (LD) zoning designation allows for more units per
acre than would the City's proposed RS-9, Residential Single Family zoning. Therefore, the
City's standards are more restrictive.
The proposal is within the City's Urban Growth Area (UGA). It is the only parcel of
property within the UGA in this location that is not within the City limits. Property outside
ofthe City's UGA cannot petition for annexation without a change to the UGA boundaries.
Property owners outside of the proposed annexation would not be permitted to hook up to
City services or be required to pay for those improvements. Old Joe Avenue is not of
sufficient width to become a City right-of-way.
MOllica McGoff wondered why the applicants want to be annexed if it would result in a
more restrictive zoning than they now have. Chair Hewins answered that the main question
before the City at this time is whether or not the area should be annexed. Specific
development questions or issues dealing with a change in zoning are not relevant at this
juncture.
There being no further discussion, Chair Hewins closed the public hearing.
.
Following brief discussion, Commissioner Reed moved to recommend approval of the
petition for annexation citing the following conditions, findings, and conclusions:

Conditions:
1. The annexation shall bear a pro rata share of the outstanding indebtedness of the
City.
2. Pursuant to P AMC 17.95.110 and the Growth Management Act Element Policies a.l
- 10 of the City's Comprehensive Plan, the zoning classification of the annexed area
shall be the RS-9, Residential Single Family zone.
3. At the time of development, water, sewer, street, and storm drainage in the area shall
be upgraded to meet City LOS standards including fire flow requirements.
Findings:
1. On April 14, 1999, the Planning Department received an annexation request from
Mr. and Mrs. James Turner for a 4.53 acre area located south of US Highway 101
between Doyle and Old Joe Avenues.
2.
On May 18, 1999, the City Council sent the request to the Planning Commission for
review and a recommendation and set a date to discuss the request with the applicants
for the City Council's June 1,1999, meeting, perRCW 35A.14.120.
3. Two property owners constitute the proposed annexation area.
4. The County's Port Angeles Regional Comprehensive Plan land use designation and
zoning in the proposed annexation area is LD, Low Density.
5. The proposed annexation area is within the Port Angeles Urban Growth Area.
6. The nearest City utilities are located across (north) of US Highway 101 at this
location. The subject property fronts on US Highway 101.
7. The factors considered under RCW 35A.14.200 in review of annexation proposals
include "the configuration of the area, comprehensive use plans and zoning, the
likelihood of significant growth in the area and in adjacent incorporated and
unincorporated areas during the next ten years, location and coordination of
community facilities and services., the probable effect of the annexation proposal or
alternatives on cost and adequacy of services and controls in the area, and the effect
of the annexation proposal or alternatives on adjacent areas."
8.
The Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan as amended June, 1997, contains 10 policies
(Growth Management Element Policies B 1-10) directly related to annexations.
9. The proposed annexation must comply with the City's annexation policies as
established in the City's Comprehensive Plan and Resolution 18-78.

11.
Notification of the proposed annexation action was properly provided per RCW
35A.14.130.
12.
The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on the proposal at its
regular August 25, 1999, meeting. Following the public hearing, the Planning
Commission moved to recommend approval of the annexation petition to the City
Council with the condition that those portions of Highway 101 and Doyle Road
adjacent to the proposed annexation area be included in the annexation.
13.
Due to the fact that the original petition did not include adjacent rights-of-way, an
amended petition was submitted on September 26, 1999, to include those portions
of Highway 101 and Doyle Avenue adjacent to the proposed annexation area. A
second public hearing was scheduled for October 13, 1999, to consider the amended
petition.
14.
Parties of record were notified of the second public hearing by U.S. Mail on
September 24, 1999.
Conclusions
1. As conditioned, the proposed annexation is consistent with the annexation policies
as established in the City's Comprehensive Plan Growth Management Element
(Policies Bl-lO), Resolution 18-78, and the factors to be considered under RCW
35A.14.200.
2. The City's policies encourage annexation within the Port Angeles Urban Growth
Area, which was established to accommodate growth expected to occur over the next
twenty years.
3. Inclusion of U.S. Highway 101 and Doyle Avenue rights-of-way will aid the
provision of city services to the subject site.
4. The annexation is in the public interest.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Nutter and passed 5 - O.
Commissioner Reed commented that the issues before the City at this time are regarding
annexation. Development issues or those that my come up as a result of a zone change
request City are not relevant at this time.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - CUP 99-14 - VOICE STREAM
WIRELESS. 2807 Porter Street: To allow the placement of a 3 sector panel
antenna array and a dish antenna on an existing 150' tower in the PBP, Public
Buildings and Parks zone.
Director Collins reviewed staffs report recommending approval of the conditional use
permit. In response to Commissioner Nutter, Mr. Collins answered that the existing tower
is on federal property (Bonneville Power Administration) and it is believed that no permits
were obtained to erect the tower under those circumstances. Chair Hewins opened the public
hearing.
Jolm McDonagh, 111 Werner Road, Port Ludlow, displayed an antenna similar to that
proposed for the Commission's education. The proposed antennas measure approximately
5" x 8" x 2 W' and weigh 17 pounds. He addressed possible concerns regarding radio
frequency issues by submitting a statement from a certified engineer as to frequency
limitations and indicating that the proposed operation would operate within .01 of the
acceptable limitations set by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). The
Department of Health determines acceptable limitations of radio frequency operations for
human exposure. Voice Stream's operation is restricted by its FCC license. Approval by the
Department of Health is part of the FCC license procedure. He presented a map indicating
the coverage needed for telecommunication carriers to operate efficiently.

In response to Commissioners Robotkay and King, Mr. McDonagh stated that Voice Stream
is installing 17 sites from the Hood Canal west with 3 or 4 sites being in Port Angeles. Most
of their sites are colocated.. Voice Stream did not do a windload study - Bonneville Power
did. There being no further discussion, Chair Hewins closed the public hearing.
Commissioners Hewins and Nutter stated concern that the existing tower may be
nonconforming with respect to the City's zoning regulations as it was constructed without
benefit of a conditional use permit. Director Collins noted that as the property is federally
owned, normal zoning standards may not apply. He did not believe that approval of the
subject conditional use permit activity would in fact legitimize the existing tower.
Commissioner Reed agreed that action on the application doesn't legitimize the existing use.
Director Collins noted that there was some question as to whether the City could even
require a conditional use permit on federal property. Rather than deal with the issue of
jurisdiction in this instance, the applicant chose to proceed with the City's conditional use
permit process in the hope that it would be less time consuming and more corporate friendly.
Commissioner Reed moved to approve the conditional use permit as requested citing
the following conditions, findings, and conclusions:
Conditions:
I. Approval is for the application as submitted and identified as Attachment B to the
October 13, 1999, Planning Department Staff Report for CUP 99-14.
2. The equipment and operation of such shall be in compliance with Federal
Communication Commission licensing requirements for such facilities.

Report for CUP 99-14, including all of its attachments. Consideration was also given to the
comments and information presented during the October 13, 1999 public hearing, and the
Planning Commission's discussion and deliberation. Consequently, the City of Port Angeles
Planning Commission hereby finds:
1. The applicant, Voice Stream Wireless, applied for a conditional use permit to install
wireless communication antennas on an existing 150' lattice tower at the southeast
corner of Park Avenue and Porter Street. The application is identified as Attachment

WIRELESS. 406 South Laurel Street: To allow the placement of a 3 sector
panel antenna array and 2 dish antennas on an existing 60' tower in the RHD,

Director Collins reviewed the Planning Department's staff report recommending approval
of the use as requested. Chair Hewins opened the public hearing. Director Collins read into
the record a letter from Rita Pollock, 110 West Third Street, who opposed the additional
antenna due to view concerns.
Joh1l McDonagh, 111 Werner Road, Port Ludlow, indicated that support equipment which
is intended to be placed on the roof of the existing U.S. West Communications building will
not be screened from surrounding properties due to its position below the roof wall. A back
up battery will be used in lieu of a generator.
He thanked staff for condensing the issues and for the short order processing of the
applicati on.
There being no further testimony, Chair Hewins closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Nutter questioned the length oftime the subject U.S. West tower has existed.
Commissioner Reed stated that he worked at the site in the early 1960's and the tower was
existing at that time. AB this is the main primary telecommunication facility for the City and
has been in operation for many, many years at this location, it was the consensus that the
tower had been in existence since well before current zoning regulations.
Commissioner Reed moved to approve the conditional use permit as proposed citing
the following conditions, findings, and conclusions:
Conditions:
1. Approval is for the application as submitted and identified as Attachment B to the
October 13, 1999, Planning Department Staff Report for CUP 99-15.
