Minutes of the regular meeting of t~e City of Port Angeles Planning
Commission, December 18th, 1951.
The regular meeting of the Planning Commission was held at the City Hall
at Front and Oak Streets. Mebers present were Reiners, Lamoureux, Smith,
Gort,. Stewart and Strange. Also present were City Engineer Ahlvers,
Commissioner Taylor, Park Board Chairman George Johns and Mr. Cunningham
of the J. W. Cunningham & Associates Consulting Engineers of Portland, Ore.
Mr. Cunningham being presently engaged in a survey of our domestic water
supply system.
The principal subject under discussion at this meeting was the urgency of
the construction of a road down Tumwater Gulch from an intersection with
State Highway 9-A and U.S. Highway 101. Also the re-construction of Marine
Drive from "An Stre€t westElrly to the Crown Zellerbach garage sites. It
was generally agreed that both of these projects were in urgent need of
construction and therefor the discussion centered mainly on the method of
financ e.
It is too early, at this time, to make a final decision on these matters,
which of necessity must be delayed until the survey, now being conducted
by the City Engineers, is completed and the costs of the projects determined
however, it was pretty generally agreed that the method used in financing
the original construction of Marine Drive would probably be the most
desirable, namely an enlarged local improvement district spreading the
assessments pretty generally over the entire City.
No final decisions were reached, but all members were urged to give serious
thought to the problem in order that we may reach a final conslusion in
the very near future.
A motion was passed indicating the Planning Commissions willingness to
accept the recommendation of the City Commision to study our present
zoning ordinance, especially with reference to certain areas where it has
become obvious that the present zoning ordinance is in error. A special
case being, to wit, the application of the DelGuzzi Brothers for the
construction of individual clinic buildings in the vicinity of the new
hospital, which at present is prohibited in that area, it being a first
class residential district. It was agreed among the members that in this
particular case, the ordinance was in error and that there should be no
objection to the building of these clinical offices with the provision
that the section providing for llset-back" be complied with.
Mr. Cunningham gave a short talk on the condition of our domestic water
supply system as it appears to him from the preliminary survey that he
has thus far made. Suffice to say, the impressions gained by Mr.
Cunningham are not of the best and he was especially concerned with the
hazardous condition of our main water supply from Morse Creek to our
present reservoir.
No further business appearing. the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
