APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Commissioner Reiss moved to approve the October 24, 2007, regular meeting
minutes as presented. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Harris, and passed 5 - 0
with Commissioner Matthews abstaining due to his absence at the meeting.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:

their testimony will be truthful to the best of their knowledge. The Chair then read the
disclaimer questions to which the Commissioners responded that they had no conflicts or
appearance of fairness issues.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - CUP 07-07 - RICKENBACHER. 517 East
Fourth Street: Request for an accessory residential unit (ARU) in the RS-7
Residential Single Family zone.
Associate Planner Scott Johns summarized staff's report recommending denial of the
conditional use permit as the structure in which it is proposed is nonconforming with regard to
setbacks.
Planning Manager Sue Roberds responded to questions with regard to the City's Public
Works and Utilities Departmental recommendation that separate utilities not be required if the
accessory unit is approved. Mrs. Roberds indicated that, although the City's zoning ordinance
requires separate utilities, the recommendation is acknowledgement that the cost of separating
.

utilities when adding an accessory unit to an existing single family structure would be excessive
and, in most cases, would stifle such development. Staff is aware that the City's policies are in
support of accessory residential structures as long as development requirements are met. Chair
Beier opened the public hearing.
Jesse Rickenbacher, 2422 South Peabody Street noted that several other residential
properties in the neighborhood contain separate accessory residential units detached from the
primary residential use. He didn't believe that the proposed use in the basement area ofthe
existing residence would be obtrusive.
There being no further testimony, Chair Beier closed the public hearing.
Following brief discussion, Commissioner Reiss moved to deny the conditional use
permit application citing the following findings and conclusions:
Findings:
Based on the information provided in the Community and Economic Development Staff Report
for CUP 07-07 dated November 14,2007, including all information in the public record file,
comments and testimony presented during the public hearing, the Planning Commission
discussion and deliberation, and the above listed conditions of approval, the City of Port Angeles
Planning Commission hereby finds that:
1. John Rickenbacher submitted a conditional use permit application for an
accessory residential unit on October 3, 2007. The applicant owns the subject
property that is located at 517 E. 4th Street.
2. The proposed site is legally described as Lots 27 and 28, Block 65 ofPuget Sound
Cooperative Colony, Townsite of Port Angeles.
3. The site is zoned Residential Single Family (RS-7) and is 7,000 sq. ft. in area.
Residential use setbacks in the RS-7 zone4 and 20 feet front and rear, and 7 feet
sides. The subject residential structure is 17 feet from the front property line and
o feet from the west side yard property line.
4. The Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Low Density Residential.
Properties in the general area are also designated as Low Density Residential with
properties along Peabody Creek also designated Open Space. The site is located
in the City's North Central Planning Area. Development in the neighborhood
includes predominately single family residential uses.
Per 17.96.050(A) P AMC, the Planning Commission shall consider applications
for conditional use permits as specified in the applicable Chapter of the Zoning
Regulations. The Planning Commission may grant said permits which are
consistent and compatible with the purpose of the zone in which the use is
located, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, and not contrary to the public
use and interest. In each application the Planning Commission may impose
whatever restrictions or conditions are considered essential to protect the public
health, safety, welfare, and to prevent depreciation of neighboring property.
Conditional uses shall be evaluated to determine if the characteristics of the
intended use as related to the specific proposed site would defeat the purpose of
the City's Zoning Regulations by introducing incompatible, detrimental, or
hazardous conditions. The Planning Commission may refuse to issue a
5.

.
.
10.
conditional use permit if the characteristics of the intended use would defeat the
purpose of the City's zoning regulations. Per P AMC 17.96.050(C), the purpose of
a CUP shall be to assure that the maximum degree of compatibility between uses
shall be attained. The purpose of these regulations shall be maintained with
respect to the particular use of the particular site and in consideration of other
existing and potential uses within the general area in which such use is to be
located.
A development that is approved through the conditional use permit process must
remain in continual compliance with specific conditions of approval or may be
revoked. A CUP activity must comply with the regulations of the zone in which
it is located.
Notification of the proposed action and conditional use permit application was
placed in the Peninsula Daily News on October 26,2007. Public notice was
mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property and the site was
posted per Section 17.96.140 PAMC. Two comment letters were received as a
result of the public notice period that ended on November 7, 2007.
Approval of an ARU is a change in use. A change in use requires observance of
development regulations including setbacks.
A Determination of Non-Significance was issued for the proposal on November
9,2007.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposal at the
November 14,2007, regular meeting

Conclusions:
Based on the information provided in the Department of Community and Economic
Development Staff Report for CUP 07-07 dated November 14, 2007, including all of the
information in the public record file, comments, and testimony presented during the public
hearing, the Planning Commission's discussion and deliberation, and the above listed conditions
of approval and listed findings, the City of Port Angeles Planning Commission hereby concludes
that:
1.
The proposal is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan, specifically
with Land Use Element Goal A and Policies A.2 and C2; Housing Element A.6
and B.6; and Transportation Element Policy B.14.
The proposal is not consistent with requirements for approval of a conditional use
permit as specified in P AMC 17.96.050(A) as it defeats the purpose of the zoning
code, in the ability to protect the character and maintain the stability of residentIal
areas within the city and to regulate the intensity of use of lots and parcels of
land, and to determine the spaces surrounding buildings necessary to provide
adequate light, air, privacy, and access to property.
The City's responsibility under the State Environmental Policy Act in review of
the proposal has been satisfied.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - CUP 07-08 - WORLEY. 338 East Whidby Avenue:
Request for an accessory residential unit (ARU) in the RS-7 Residential Single Family zone.
Associate Planner Scott Johns presented the Department's report recommending approval
of the conditional use permit with conditions. Chair Beier opened the public hearing.
Robert Worley, 338 E. Whidby Avenue hoped that the permit would be approved
without a condition to provide separate electrical meters. The cost of rewiring the residence
would prevent the use from being established.
Chuck LeBer, 401 Whidby supported the proposal as it provides an acceptable
alternative housing resource to City residents. Mr. LeBer resides across the street from the
subject reSIdence.
There being no further testimony, Chair Beier closed the public hearing.
Following brief discussion regarding the use of the driveways and that, while it is City
ordinance that ARUs require separate electrical and water meters, the City's Public Works and
Utilities Department indicated that the proposed use need not be replumbed to accommodate a
separate water meter for the proposed accessory unit. Commissioner Reiss questioned staff in
that regard and Planning Manager Roberds responded that while the Comprehensive Plan
encourages alternative housing opportunities, other standard regulations make it difficult to
encourage such development in existing structures without excessive expensive remodel. City
ordinance requires independent water metering for such uses. Staff will research the matter
more extensively.
Commissioner Reiss moved to approve the conditional use permit subject to four
conditions, supported by the following findings and conclusions:
Conditions:
1.
Separate electrical meters shall be in place for each dwelling unit. Addressing for each
dwelling unit shall be clearly identified as 338 and 33812 East Whidby Avenue. Address
numbers must be at least six (6) inches in height, readily visible from the street, and of
contrasting color from their background.
Two (2) off-street parking spaces are required for each residential dwelling unit for a
total of 4 off-street parking spaces.
Driveway and site access shall be constructed to Public Works and Utilities Standards.
All utility improvements includmg water, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, and
electrical are to be completed to the satisfaction of the Public Works and Utilities
Department prior to occupancy of the ARD. Site work shall include restoration of
the on site depressed curb to a standard curb height per City standards unless the
curb is used as part of a newly constructed driveway.

information in the public record file, comments, and testimony presented during the
public hearing, the Planning Commission discussion and deliberation, and the above
listed conditions of approval, the City of Port Angeles Planning Commission hereby
finds that:
Robert Worley submitted a conditional use permit application for an accessory residential
unit to be developed at 338 E. Whidby Avenue on October 17, 2007. The applicant owns
the subject property that is located on the south side of East Whidby Avenue adjacent to
Peabody Street.
The proposed site is legally described as Lot A of Short Plat 83-3-1 Puget Sound Co-Op
Colony 2 Addition to the Townsite of Port Angeles.
The site is zoned Residential Single Family (RS-7) and contains 10,500 sq. ft. in area.
The City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the site as Low
Density Residential. Adjacent designations are also designated Low Density Residential.
The site is located in the City's South Central Planning Area. The City's Comprehensive
Plan was reviewed for consistency with the proposal.
Development in the neighborhood includes predominately single family residential uses
with public uses (high school and public library) south and north of the site and an
elementary school is located further north of Lauridsen Boulevard west of Peabody
Street.
6. The Clallam Transit bus system travels along Peabody Street in this location. All City
services are available to the site including emergency response agencies.

permit if the characteristics of the intended use would defeat the purpose of the City's
zoning regulations. A development that is approved through the conditional use permit
process must remain in continual compliance with specific conditions of approval or may
be revoked.

CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING:
PRELIMINARY PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND
SUBDIVISION - GREEN CROW PROPERTIES - Campbell Avenue/Rook
Drive: A planned residential development of approximately 16+ acres of
property zoned RHD Residential High Density and RS-9 Residential Single
Family zones into 39 single family and 19 multiple family unit sites. (Continued
from October 24, 2007.)
Associate Planner Scott Johns read staff's report recommending approval of the planned
residential development into the record. Chair Beier qualified Commission members with regard
.
.
.
Plannmg CommISsIOn Mmutes - November 14,2007

to their abilities to act on the matter. As no one provided reason for the disqualification of
anyone, he then opened the public hearing.
Tim Woolet, 727 East 8th Street provided a detailed written response to staffs report.
He noted that the originally approved planned reSIdential development (PRD) was significantly
revised to complement the character of the developing Reidel II Subdivision. Due to the
significance of the revision, staff required that a new application be submitted. Although density
within the PRD is lower than the maximum permitted, the proposed density fits well with the
environment of the area that includes a portion of the White's Creek corridor, a wetland, and
walking paths throughout the Reidel Subdivision. Discussion of Mr. Woolet's memorandum of
response ensued in detail.
Chair Beier stated that he would prefer Mr. W oolet provide specific testimony rather than
analyze staff s report section by section. Mr. W oolet outlined his main issues of specific
concern.
Planner Johns noted that of the approximately 16 acre site, roughly 7.39 acres are
developable once the open space, wetland, park, and power line easement areas are removed.
Thus, as proposed, density of the site results in approximately 5 dwelling units per acre, which is
more similar to an expected urban than suburban development density. Suburban road standards
are permitted in suburban areas where lot sizes are larger and can independently address the
impacts of development. The proposed density provides an alternative housing design and
allows for lots to be less than one-half the area required in even urban zones within the City.
Some lots, by the proponent's design, are as small as 2,500 square feet in area where minimum
lot size for the underlying zone is 7,000 square feet. The proposal does not result in the expected
density for suburban development and suburban street standards are permitted only in suburban
zones (RS-9 and RS-ll). While lot sizes are less than the minimum permitted in any zone in the
City, streets are designed to a minimum and proposed to be private. The PRD overlay does
allow for a reduced lot size. Nowhere within the development is there provision for additional
parking of any kind, recreational, or otherwise. Because the proposed density typifies multiple
family/urban development, it is important to provide streets and circulation provisions that can
handle that type of traffic impact including trash pickup for its residents.
Mr. Woolet's concerns regarding staffs condition requiring split rail fencing were
addressed. Mr. Johns responded that fencing can be negotiated. The intent of wetland fencing is
to identify sensitive areas while not impeding hydrology of the site. Stormwater will be
addressed per the State's standards. The terms and conditions of the wetland permit for
development of the area must remain in place.
Discussion continued with regard to phasing of the development. Mr. Woolet objected to
staff s insistence that Rook Way be completed in proposed Phase I of the PRD development. He
noted that Phase I consists of nine residences. Access can easily be had from Rook Drive to
Eckard Avenue to W abash Avenue without completing Rook Way in Phase I.
Mr. Johns responded that traffic access to Wabash Avenue was never intended to be a
first choice travel way, but was intended to provide an alternative, back door from the
subdivision mainly in the case of emergency and so improvements to Campbell Avenue were not
imposed in the original subdivision east of the site ownership area. Initial review of the
subdivision and PRD identified the main circulation route being Rook Drive to Campbell
Avenue. Completion of the Rook Drive to Rook Way to Campbell Avenue circulation route will
.
.
.
Plannmg CommISsIOn Mmutes - November 14,2007
Page 8
ensure that traffic is routed as planned. Completion of successive phases of the PRD may take
several years. Rook Way should be included in the first phase. If traffic is intended to be
directed from Eckara Avenue to W abash Avenue to Campbell, as proposed, additional frontage
development should be required to address that impact.
Commissioner Johnson noted that a PRD is not a typical subdivision where individual
sites are sold for independent development. A PRD is pre planned such that housing types are
designated for each lot and normally developed by one developer, or at least under a specific
plan, including specific housing type and design, which differs from individual lot by lot
development by individual lot owners. He was concerned that the City is reviewing the proposal
but all required information, such as housing types and design, has not been provided.
Mr. Johns responded that Mr. Johnson's understanding regarding a planned residential
development iss correct in that a PRD is expected to be planned to a much greater detail than a
typical subdivision. Structures are intended to be pre designed for actual placement/construction
rather than the independent lot by lot development typical in standard subdivision. Staff has
been working with this development for a long time. Some submittal requirements have been
somewhat overlooked. Mr. Woolet did provide pictures of other developments during the
application process, and it was assumed that structures similar to those depicted would be
developed within the PRD. A specific lot by lot design was not submitted.
Discussion regarding the completion of Rook Way in Phase I of the PRD continued. Mr.
Johns noted that staff is not willing to ignore that parking is a real concern for this more densely
proposed development, along with refuse pickup and circulation. Rook Way, which is intended
to be a private road within the PRD linking the Reidel Subdivision to Campbell Avenue, will not
be developed the same as Rook Drive, which is a public street. The connecting road needs to be
completed with any development of the PRD, not incrementally at a future date. Completion of
the road will ensure that the development will go forward in the manner in which it is planned.
Some infrastructure has already been placed per the proposed PRD rather than the originally
approved PRD. The ultimate vehicular link to Campbell Avenue has been planned throughout
the subdivisionlPRD process, it is not a surprise, and it is part and parcel to development of the
entire site, including the Reidel II Subdivision, and should be required with the first phase of the
PRD.
Chair Beier called for a short break at 8:10 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 8:15 p.m.
Principal Planner Nathan West agreed that there is not a need to discuss Mr. Woolet's
memorandum line by line. Planning Manager Sue Roberds noted that there appear to be six
main issues of concern expressed by the applicant: (1) urban densities versus suburban densities;
(2) the timing of street improvements for Rook Way; (3) flexible phasing language; (4)
placement of infrastructure; (5) use of suburban standards; and (6) fencing required under the
wetland permit for the subdivision. She noted that staff s position regarding street standards is
not new to the proponent as staff met with the applicant and Engineer Zenovic following the last
Planning Commission meeting to specifically discuss the topic. The City Council determined
that street widths should be 60' during the original PRD approval in 2006. It was agreed that the
plat would be redesigned accordingly. As proposed, streets cannot easily accommodate trash
pickup and there can be no street parking. Small lot sizes cannot accommodate all vehicular
parking needs. Fencing can easily be addressed, and phasing flexibility can be satisfactorily
.

developed with the exception that Rook Way is an integral component to initial development of
the site.
Steve Zenovic, Zenovic and Associates, 301 East Sixth Street, project engineer, noted
that while there may be areas where staff and the applicant differ, he sees the main breaking
point as completion of Rook Way in Phase I of the PRD. He stated that completion of the
private road will cost some $150,000. As Phase I only includes nine home sites, he believes that
traffic can well be handled from Rook Way to Eckard Avenue to W abash Avenue, and out to
Campbell Avenue with little impact. Mr. Zenovic noted that although the City Council did not
approve 50' roads in the original PRD approval, the currently proposed 50' dedication and
development will allow for an improvement area quite similar to the more standard (60') public
street dedication while allowing the road to remain private. Staff has agreed with this proposal.
There being no further testimony, Chair Beier closed the public hearing. Discussion
continued on the main points of concern expressed by Mr. W oolet and staff. Commissioner
Reiss moved to recommend approval of the Campbell A venue Planned Residential
Development allowing the development of Rook Way to be delayed until Phase II of the
PRD, and citing 18 conditions, supported by 33 findings, and 14 conclusions as follows:
Conditions:

drainage plan for on-site and off-site facilities, which may include but not be limited to roadside
swales, detention/retention facilities, or constructed wetlands used for stormwater management,
must be approved by the City Engineer prior to work being commenced. The developer is
responsible for providing confirmation of having obtained a NPDES construction permit to the
City of Port Angeles prior to final of Phase I.
4. The developer shall submit an amended final wetland delineation and mitigation plan for
the entire wetland area prior to final of Phase I that includes the following:
