By far the most destructive of all illegal drugs
to plague our community to date is
methamphetamine.
Methamphetamine use is destroying the hopes
and dreams of young people all across
America.
The general public is just beginning to realize
the extent of the destruction already inflicted
by this drug.

Covarrubias was' recenUy arrested in Port Angeles, WA for the murder of a 15 YOA homele68llranaient
female which occurred on December 23, 2004.
Covarrubias was released from prison on December 6, 2004 and immediately came to Port Angeles.
Covarrubias found an abandoned house and resided there with other homeIessItransient people. He
befriended the younger homeless1transient population in Port Angeles, wherein he and his associates
abused alcohol and methamphetamine.
On 0ecernIJEN- 23, 2004, the victim and h8l" boyfriend attended a party at a local motel. other party attendees
included Covarrubias and some young homelessltransient people. During the party, Covarrubias made
sexual comments to the victim, which she ignored. Later the victim and her boyfriend had .... argl.ment and
the victim left the party on foot A.oc:acIing to the witnesses, CovalTUbillS observed the victim leave and
immediately followed. Neither the victim nor Covarrubias returned to the party. Her nude body was
discovered two and a half days later along a recreational waterfront trail approximately 1 112 miles ilNiaY.
Covarrubias he. lived in CalifornIa, Oregon, Washington and Massachusetts. Based upon the violent n8tlse

Streetscape and Hardscape Design for
DOWNTOWN
Port Angeles, Washington
INTRODUCTION
The development of this comprehensive streetscape and hardscape design began with a solid
. inventory of all existing public improvements including utility poles, lighting, landscaping,
street furniture, pavement and sidewalk materials, and sidewalk dimensions. Additionally, an
inventory of the building types, with special attention to any of historical significance was
undertaken. The purpose of this document is to establish the goals, objectives and
expectations for the revitalization program within the Port Angeles Downtown. The
Downtown or PBIA boundaries are graphically shown on the map included as (Fig. 1).
Streetscape design includes such features as planters, benches, signage, landscaping, and
refuse containers. Hardscape elements include pavements, sidewalks, buildings and other
fixed public and private assets. Streetscape and hardscape areas should be designed in a
way that integrates them visually and aesthetically with adjoining buildings and the
surrounding waterfront and mountain vistas. Port Angeles has a unique setting that is
unsurpassed anywhere. Downtown revitalization efforts should always encompass and
capitalize on those natural surroundings. Design decisions should be made with
maintenance, security, safety, and ambiance in mind.
Civic gathering spaces for public use are one of the unique features of any downtown.
Developing the streetscape means enhancing the inherent qualities of the public space
between and around buildings by drawing from Downtown's architectural features and
building on its history. The goal of this Design guide is to create a functional and inviting
atmosphere, which will:
~ Draw people to Downtown Port Angeles
~ Retain current businesses within Downtown
~ Attract new businesses to the Downtown
~ Maintain shopper/tourist interests while in the Downtown
Historically, downtown districts were defined by the type of transportation in use during their
building "boom" years. In most communities, that resulted in linear street patterns and
continuous sidewalks lined with commercial buildings meeting the street at the property line,
with little public gathering space, few amenities, and the perception of very little parking.
Revitalization's challenge is to accommodate modern needs while respecting the qualities that
make a downtown unique and desirable with an intimate atmosphere defined by traditional
commercial buildings and a pedestrian oriented environment. New public improvement
elements should be visually, as well as functionally, compatible with existing resources. In all
cases, new elements should harmonize or "fit-in" with the character ofa downtown business
..

district and its existing public improvements. It is also important that the functions of new
elements supplement and reinforce rather than duplicate or conflict with the functions of
existing elements.
In all revitalization efforts, it is important to avoid the "big fixll mentality. Another intent of
this document is to provide guidance to avoid the thoughts of restoring Downtown through
ambitious efforts "to make a big splashll by relying on public improvements that are ill
conceived and generally poorly maintained. Simply adding benches and receptacles can
create a depressing atmosphere, when little thought is given to use, style, location, and
maintenance. The "quick fix" can actually make long-term revitalization more of a challenge
than if we had done nothing at all.
Individual elements that make up a good streetscape include street lighting and directional
and informational signage that can help people and cars move efficiently and safely. Paving,
sidewalk materials, and fixtures help delineate places for people and cars. Amenities such as
benches, landscaping, artwork, banners, and trash receptacles make the area more
comfortable and provide visual enhancement.
Both the public and private sectors are responsible for streetscape improvements. Public
improvements include street maintenance, traffic flow and parking, landscaping, sidewalk
furniture, decorations, parks, art and sidewalk treatments. Special features such as
fountains, parks, and plazas can provide important focal points for the public environment.
Private contributions to the streetscape include signs, window displays, awnings, outdoor
cafes, and the cooperative care of the public and private elements of the "front yardll of the
business.
Street and pedestrian lighting should provide sufficient light intensity for streets and
sidewalks. Quality street furniture should be well conceived and maintained. Trash
receptacles should be a subdued design with good durability and in sufficient numbers to be
well placed for easy maintenance by work crews. Planters should be durable and well
maintained.
Parking lots should provide a "street-wall" edge along the sidewalk usually proVided by
storefronts. Decorative low walls or fences, with shrubs and lighting will screen cars and
soften the landscape. Materials should be of good quality and low maintenance.
In addition, a comprehensive management and maintenance strategy - complete with
adequate funds must be formulated. Across the country, millions of dollars have been wasted
on streetscape improvements by neglect of on-going maintenance. Often, communities have
assumed that city government can or will take adequate care of maintenance issues only to
learn later that there are too many competing demands on shrinking resources. The best
maintained streetscapes are combined public/private efforts with maintenance funds built
into the cost of each purchase thereby keeping the downtown looking fresh and vibrant.

This document is intended to provide a cohesive approach to streetscape needs and is
created with the knowledge that it will take time to be successful. It includes a glimpse of
what has already been accomplished with a vision of what is yet to be done to achieve our
goal of a safe and inviting Downtown. Carefully planned and executed public and private
streetscape improvements will provide a unique image and business environment, which will
enhance both commercial vitality and the community's quality of life.

A. LANDSCAPE
The natural beauty of the Port Angeles waterfront and the Olympic Mountains are a
magnificent backdrop for the enhancement of the Downtown core. The shoreline and the
bluff retain some of the characteristics of the natural environment where Port Angeles began
and should be emphasized wherever possible in the revitalization of the Downtown.
Landscape and hardscape elements make up the space from one building facade to the
fa<;ade next door and the one across the street and are commonly known as the
"streetscape". It is the front yard of the business district. Investing in this area strengthens
the economic climate and creates "curb appeal". It affects the way people feel about the
place where they live and work. The streetscape defines Downtown and distinguishes it from
surrounding areas.
Trees and landscaping are integral to the ambiance (overall appearance) of the Downtown
area. The aesthetic appeal of trees and flowers introduces the visitor to what lies ahead.
They create an attractive environment that invites the pedestrian visitor to see what the area
has to offer. Trees provide shade, cover and color as well as a buffer between the
pedestrian and traffic. Designs for renovation, restoration and new construction should
incorporate landscaping that enhances adjoining buildings and emphasizes surrounding
waterfront and mountain vistas.
Landscape plantings should be varieties that are selected to reduce maintenance costs where
feasible. A maintenance fund should be established to allow for proper care and replacement
of landscape materials.
GUIDELINE:
~ Street tree installation should be consistent with good pedestrian and vehicular safety.
~ Single-row street tree planting will occur wherever sidewalk width will allow.
~ Street trees and landscaping should not damage sidewalks or underground utilities
and should not interfere with overhead power lines.
~ Street trees and landscaping should not limit access to sunlight for property owners,
nor should street trees inhibit the ability of viewing business sign age and facades.
(Exhibit l-A)
~ On average, small or narrow street trees should be spaced a distance of a minimum of
twenty (20) feet on center, medium sized trees thirty (30) feet on center and large
trees forty (40) feet on center. However, tree spacing should be finalized based on
the species of trees used; the spacing of the columns on the adjacent structures; and
on site specific considerations such as the size of the available planting area, soil
characteristics, existing overhead and underground utilities, and other similar existing
conditions.

A-l
~ Tree clearances should be as follows: Fire Hydrants -nine (9) feet minimum
Bus Stops-fifteen (15) feet minimum
Sign Posts - fifteen (15) feet minimum
Driveways-nine (9) feet minimum on either
side
~ Street trees should be maintained at the base with first branches at (8) feet above the
sidewalk and capped at (16) feet above the sidewalk.
~ Drought tolerant and non-invasive species are recommended for landscaping
purposes. Landscaping trees, shrubs and ground covers should be selected based on
their suitability for the marine climate and location of use. (See Exhibit 2-A)
~ Regularly scheduled pruning and maintenance of trees should occur on an annual
basis following the principles set forth by the International Society of Arboriculture
(See Exhibit 3-A)
~ A water source should be accessible during periods of drought to allow for proper
hydration. This source should be at 50-100 foot intervals in sidewalk fixture boxes
made accessible to merchants to provide water for cleaning of sidewalk areas as well
as caring for landscaping needs.
~ Street trees and landscaping within the Downtown area in both public and visible
and/or accessible public/private areas, shall be well maintained.
~ Decorative lighting for street trees and landscaping shall be considered during the
winter season.
~ Unattractive structures, service elements (dumpsters and recycle areas), off-street
parking areas, loading zones, and gas station service areas visible from public
walkways should be screened, where possible, by street trees and/or generous plant
materials in well-maintained planting beds, planters and/or trellises.
~ Public open spaces created in the Downtown area should incorporate appropriate
landscape and hardscape elements in accordance with the desire to emphasize the
unique visual setting of the area encompassing the character of the Downtown
storefronts and natural environment.
~ Streets within the Downtown PBIA district should be scheduled for weekly cleaning to
insure that "curb appeal" is maintained in all areas. The scheduling for this activity
may require an adjustment to parking signs to facilitate easy access to curb areas.

heard, the chaos, ugliness and information overload of signs can be transformed into pleasant~ ullfU].;

at a personal.level. Put another way, simple signs say more, and placement-not excessive size or c6,st-:-i$

Simple Signs Say More
Research has foimd that the visual clutter of business areas
presents more .information than the human mind can use or
reme~b~.The result is an ~ormation overload that actually

. ~ .' .:.~-: It;. -. "", . ~..:" '.~ . . . :, . ::..
ACCOrding to the 'American Society of Landscape Architects, a :
sign that presents more than 10 "items of information" is lost on,~t~
obser.Y~;'(Cbui1t one item of inforri1.~tion for each syllable, symbol, ,.
abbreyiation, broken plane s\lch as two lines rather than one, or
discoA.tinuous odd shapes.) For signs to be legible in downtown
areas Rr at ffiall.s.}'V.\:wre traffic moves slowly or pedestrians are the
."targets" for inf6p:nation, the total sign space needed fot 10 items of
infon;nation in, ~i:uy'6-8 square feet.
From this kind..p.f.rese'~ch comes the logical sugg~tion t~at if
fewer and smaller signs :were used, business~ could a~ally
imprbye their a,pilif}' to ~elr'customers find them and, in it general:
way, !~am what they have to offer. However, success rests on two
other~portant tenets. One is that signs ShOl,tld be used primarily.'.
for "h}dexing," that is, for identifying the b\lSiness rather than
subjecting viewers to myriad advertisements over which they have
no co~trol. The other is that all businesses agree (or are required) to
honor ,a given size of sign space.
Ground level signs are relatively inexpensive, easily seen, and help create a friendly, human-scale environment.

1. Plant in the Right Place.
Rigid spacing of street trees is sometimes necessary or desirable
'om the aesthetic standpoint, but to solve the prol?lein of tree/sign
millets flexibi+i,ty must be the rule. Variable spacing, as well as a
lixture of species and tree sizes, can add interest and aesthetic
Jpeal to a community's streets and shopping malls.
ere is no substitute fOT common sense. The flowering pear tree in the photo at left was planted virtually in front of a traffic signal. It could have
:ily been planted to the left in the large planting area, as shown in the illustrdtion.

3. Prune to AidVtSibility
Whether it is a limb abstructing a stap sign ar a shade tree in
fran~ af a stare, trees in any cammunity require annual inspectians
and ~egu1ar pruning to. prevent tree/sign coilflicts.
"CraWn lifting" is a teChnique used by' arborists to. remave a
tree's lawest limbs aver several years. This is dane gradually sa
that no. mare than 1/3 af the llv!ng Crawn jirezhoved during any
single pruning. Eventually the lawest part cif the crawn is 8-14 feet
abave the sidewalk, well ~ut Of"the way af str~et-level signs,
vehicles and vandals. ' '., .
Gen~ticaUy developed columnar varieties of many street tree
sper;ies are now available. Their use in sOme downtown situations
can help reduce tre,!/sign conflicts.

Highway beautification has been called one of the environ-
~ta1 movement's greatest failures. See "The Great Billboard
mblecross" in the June 1985 issue of Reader's Digest.
While off-premise signs such as billboards do not usually
nflict with trees, there are some exceptions and the conse-
.ences are sh?Ckirtg. According to the Southern Environmental
w Center in Visual Pollution and Sign Control: A Legal Handbook
Billboard Reform, no billboard issue has aroused more citizen
p9sition$an'the destruction of trees and vegetation on public
;hts-of-waY to J;Ilake signs more visible. The Center reports th3.t.
lUsands of.permits are issued each year for such work. Worse

~ough th~ ptacti~e !s legally questionable, .according to the

rietion to remove ~ees from federal roadsides. The Center .
)orts that some states 'allow tree cutting by statute, while others

What is an, !tborist?
Arborists are the men and women
who make a career of caring for the
urban forest. Some arborists are s~lf-
employed, others work for tree care
companies. Still others work for
municipalities, utility companies or
on college campuses. Some serve as
consultants to planners, developers,
insurance companies, public _
agencies and attorneys. ForwhQever
they work, arborists are profeSsion-
als concerned prlmcirily with the
planting and care of trees. Altlwugh
not all arh0rists possess all s~, the
areas in which they can help you
include: piantin~ transplantin~
prunin~ feJ:i:ilizing, pest manage-
ment, and an array of other tree care
practices. Most arborists are also
skilled in tree removal and v;llue
appraiSals. -.
Consulting arborists are a bit
1 different. These experts offer advice,
but usuaIly not the actual tree
services. They specialize in tree
appraisals, diagnosing problems,
recommendiitg treatm~ts and
suggesting where to obtain compe-
tent service. They are often the
. "second opinion" before deciding
on tree work, or the legal expert in
court cases. As independent
consultants, they are often called on
the same way a financial planner is
called on to map financial strategy
rather than using a stockbroker,
. . insurance agent or other t:ir\ancial
professional who seIls a product.
~e page 8 for directory information.
Irt this bulletin, we focus on the
commercial arborist - the person
you would turn to when hiring a
specialist to work on the trees-
around your home or business, and
to handle a removal if necessary.
These professionals are educated in
, arboriculture - the art and science
of planting, caring for and maintain-
ing trees - or sometimes in the
related fields of urban forestry,
landscape architecture, hortiCultu.re
and others. A quaJified arboristcan
serve you in meeting any of the
needs shown on page 2 or 3 and at
other times you need advice or
service related to trees.
TREE OTYUSA BULLETIN No.6. National Arbor Day FOWldation .3
.0; You Need an Arborist.
iiring a tree care specialist deserves all the consideration
i caution that goes into selecting a ban,1<er 'or home buil~er.
nistake can be expensive and long-Iastfu~ but the right
. .
choice can assure health, beauty and'longer life for
your trees. ,
welve UpS for Selecting .~Arborist
Check in the phone directory, usually ~der Trees, Tree
, Service or Tree Care Service. Although ~YOnE~ can list
themselves in the yellow pages, a listing at ieastindicates
some d~gree of permanence.
Beware of door-knockers. Most reputable companies ~ve
all the work they can handle without going door-ta-door.
Door-knockers are especially common after storms when .
non-professionals see a chance to earn. some quick money. .
Often, storm damage cr~tes high risk situations for both '
workerS and homeowners, and there is opportunity for .
even more damage to trees and shrUbs if work is riot done
correctly.
FinO. out if the arborist is certified thro~gh a state
certification program or the International SOciety of
ArboJ:"iculture. !SA's program is av~able to arborists
nationwide and requires appropri~te training, experience
and know;ledge as evidenced l?y succ~sfully completing a' ,
standardized application and testing process. In some cities,
arborists are required to have a license. Check with city
hall, then use only an arborist who is ~ compliance if
liCensing is included in your c:ommtlnlty's cirdi:iuuices.
Ask for certificat~ of insurance, including proof of liabil!-ty
for personal and property damage (such as your house and
your neighbor's), and workman's compensation. Then
phone the insurance company to make certain the policy is,
current Under some circumstances, ypu can be held financially
responsible if an uninsUred worker is hurt on your property, or
dil11UZge is done to a neighbor's property!
Ask for local refe~ences - other jobs the company or
individual has done. Take a look at some, and if possible,
talk with the-former client. Experien~e, education and a
good reputation are signs of a good m;borist.
Determine if the arborist is a member of any of the
org~tions shOwn on page 8. Membership does not
guarantee quality; but lack of membership casts doubt on
the person's professionalism.
Never let yourself be rushed by bargains ("If you sign an
3.greement today, I can take ten percent off the price... ''). _
Never pay in advance.
Have more than one arbQtist look at your job ;;md give you
~timates. Don't expect one to lower a bid to match
mother's, and be willing to pay for the estimate if
:tecessary; but two or more ~i?inions and cost estimates are
NOrlh your extra effort.

The Agreement
To prevent misunderstandings and be assUred of having your
work performed to the standards you expect, a contract is the
key. Most companies have their own form and the conditions
included vary widely. Read the document carefully. IT you hav~
questions, a local forester, consulting arborist, or your attorney
may be able to add clarification and valuable insights.
In an article that is part of AmeriC<!Il Forest's Urban Forestry
Home Wo~kbook, urban forester Steve Sandfort and arborist/
company president Edwin Butcher listed several key items that
a.contract should include: .
~ The dates that work will begin and end.
[j?' Exactly what work will be done. For example, "prune all
dead, dying, diseased and weak branches 1 ~ inches or
greater in diameter." IT your tree is to be sprayed, get a
written statement detailing the specific insect or disease to
be treated, the chemical t~ be used and how much, and
what you need to do (cover lawn furniture, keep pets inside,
etc.). IT fertilizing is to be done, it should be stated how
many p~unds of fertilizer per inch of trunk diameter will be
applied by what method.
rR' Specify what cleanup work will be done and when. Who
gets any firewood, and if it is you, will it be cut into 16-inch
lengths and stacked by the garage?
IE' Oarify if removal of a tree includes grindiD.g out the stump
and surface rootS to one foot below grade, filling with
topsoil and planting grass.
~ The total dollar amount you will be charged. You don't
want a surprise such as: ''Here is the $300 I owe you for
working on my five trees." "$3oo? Sorry, lady, that was
$300 per tree!"
&' Work is usually priced one of two ways: (a) as a single price
for the job, or (b) on an hourly basis plus materials. When
using the latter, be sure to include the wording, "...but not
to exceed..."
ADd don't be shy about asking questions such as, ''How do
you m,*e your pruning cuts?" or "How can I be sure that
pedestrians and curious children will be kept safe?"
In short, be sure you have a contract that. is complete and
clear, ~d be satisfied in advance that your concerns willl?e
dealt .with fairly by the people you hire to work on your trees.
If a dispute does arise or you would like an expert to check
the quality of work before you pay the bill, seek the services of a
con,sulting arborist (See page S), urban forester, park or utility
arborist, or similar specialist who is not in competition With the
arborists you hired..
Use Arborists for
'Preventative Care
Some arborists offer inspectionS of your trees for a flat
annual rate. 1his is an excellent way to have insect or dise~e
problems diagnosed in time"to take ~ective action. It can also
assure light, early pruning that will prevent major, corrective
pruning later on. Regular fertili.4ing, soil aeration, deep water-
ing, and similar routine tasks will also help assure that your
trees remain healthy. Sometimes this kind of inspection/
preventative maintenance program is called Plant Health Care.
A Salute to Arborists
Arborists are among the hardest working
people in America. Their work is physically
demanding, often darigerous, and intellectually
challenging. Their investments in equipment are
great, and as the knowledge of trees and tree care .':
continues to grow, their need for education. . :.
never stops.
Arborists often donate their skills and services
at Arbor Day events. Every day they are on the
front line of educating the public about tree care.
The men and women who devote their lives to
arboriculture are the professional stewards of our
communities' green treasures.
For young people who love trees and the
outdoors, becoming an arborist is a career worth
exploring. For those of us in other disciplines, .
arboriculture is a calling worthy of our respect

Continuing Education
Education.as an arborist can begin with on-the-job training,
an associates degree from a college or vocational teclmician's
program, or a baccalaureate c:iegree in urban forestry,
horticUlture or a related field. For anyone with an interest in
the green industry, initial opportunities for education and
entry into th~ profession presentno barrier. .
For the employers of arb~rists, both private and govern-
mental, the challenge is in provit;ling continuing education
opportunities. ContinuIng education isessentiar for keeping
arborists in pace with the latest discoveries about trees, soils,
chemicals, insects, diseases and the many techniques of
[it Since most contracts must be awarded to the lowest arboricultlIte. It is also essential to maintain arborist certifica-
bidder, be sure to place adequate screening criteria in the tion and to keep employees up to date with state and local
work specifications. Examples include a minimum' laws, or regulations resulting from such federal legislation as
amount of insurance coverage and years of experience, the Environmental Pesticide Act and the Occupational Safety
evidence of equal opportunity hiring p;ractlces, etc. and Health Act.

In municipalities not having their own tree care staff,
contracting with local arborists is usually a better alternative
. than giving untrained employees from other departments the
responsibility for care of the street and park trees. When
contracting is used, each IIfunicipality has its standard forms
and procedures. However, due to the unique nature and needs
, of tree care, there are special considerations worth noting.
Most of the tips on pages 4 'and 5 are just as appli~able for a
local government as they are for individual property owners.
In addition, the following suggestions are offered:

B. PARKS, COURTYARDS AND VACANT LOTS
Public open space, both structured and unstructured, is prevalent in Downtown Port Angeles.
The Waterfront Trail along the harbor, City Pier, the fountain area on First Street and other
proposed areas provide abundant opportunities for visitors to explore the natural ecosystem
that surrounds the city.
The natural spaces along the Waterfront Trail allow people-oriented activities without
jeopardizing the marine habitat. The Trail, as it currently exists from City Pier west to Oak
Street, has been enhanced by the addition of planters, art pieces and landscaping. (The
development of a waterfront promenade in this area is addressed in a different section.)
Natural spaces throughout the city, both along the waterfront and the bluff, should be
enhanced in ways that allow people to use them and experience the pristine setting of
Downtown Port Angeles without destroying or endangering the natural habitat.
GUIDELINE:
~ Streetscape designs should take into consideration making natural spaces and open
areas accessible to the public without endangering marine habitat or public safety.
~ Design should utilize lighting, furniture, landscape, and hardscape in these areas that
. is compatible with the Downtown revitalization plan and that can be used in a safe and
secure manner by the public.
~ Plants native to the area that are acclimated and low maintenance should always
receive first consideration when choosing landscape materials for these public spaces.
(See Exhibit 2-A)
~ Pocket parks should be located throughout the Downtown area. Parks may include a
bench (See page E-2), trash receptacle, planter and outdoor sculpture piece
depending on location and available space.

c. PARKING LOTS
Numerous parking lots in the Downtown area provide a feeling of openness but at the same
time emphasize the vacant land sites. Ample parking is a necessity for a vibrant commercial
district and can be incorporated into the streetscape with unifying natural elements such as
trees, shrubs and ground covers between the sidewalk and the parking lot areas.
GUIDELINE:
~ Landscape materials should be used to define the break between pedestrian areas and
parking lots. This may be a landscaped berm or planting strip with a minimum depth
of eight feet.
~ Consider the planting of shrubs, vines and small trees with a minimum height of four
feet to aid in the circulation of pedestrians and vehicles by demarcating boundaries
and aisles and drawing attention to desired openings and paths.
~ Consideration should be given to the use of parking lot surface water for landscape
irrigation where feasible. (See Exhibit l-C)
~ To reduce visual impact of a large parking lot, divide it into a number of smaller lots or
make it look smaller through the use of landscaping. In addition, dispersion ofsmalJer
parking areas is beneficial for both aesthetics and functionality. By dispersing parking
facilities throughout the downtown area shopper convenience is maximized.
~ Entryways into parking lots should be visible and have good directional signage.
~ Parking lots, adjacent sidewalks and public spaces should be well maintained, with
regularly scheduled maintenance.
~ Streetscape design should utilize lighting, furniture, landscape, and hardscape in these
areas that is compatible with the Downtown revitalization plan and insures the safety
and security of the public. ' , /
~ Locate parking facilities, particularly surface
parking lots, at the interior of a block face
whenever possible.
o This acknowledges the special function corner
properties as they are generally more visible
than interior lots, serve as landmarks and
provide a sense of enclosure to the
intersection.
~.
~im
1$~)t
01-06
D When possible, access to parking facilities should be off of alleys.
~ Where a parking facility shares a site with a building, place the parking facility at the
rear of the site or along side the building.
D In this way, the architectural continuity of the street can be preserved.
D Site parking lots so they will minimize gaps in the continuous building wall of
the block.
D Parking behind a building accessed from an alley is the preferred configuration.
~ Minimize the number of curb cuts to reduce the turning movements and conflicts with
pedestrians.
D When possible, access to parking facilities should be off of alleys.
~ All parking facilities must meet the City of Port Angeles municipal codes.
VISUAL IMPACT OF PARKING STRUCTURES
The objective is to maintain an active, interesting street fac;ade for the pedestrian.
~ Design parking structures so that they can create a visually attractive and active
pedestrian environment by creating a retail/commercial wrap at the sidewalk.
D All parking structures, no matter how large or small, should be wrapped with a
two-story retail/commercial space to shield the facility from the street and to
make the entire building visually pleasing.
~ For a parking structure created as a principal use on a lot that is over 20,000 square
feet, consider the following criteria:
D A first floor retail wrap is required (floor area that is used for non-parking
purposes). The depth of the wrap is a minimum of 25 feet and a maximum of
35 feet. The wrap should face onto all public streets, except alleys, for the
entire length of the building except for those places necessary to provide
ingress and egress.
~ Above ground parking structures should be designed to be compatible with traditional
buildings in the surrounding area.
D Consider incorporating, at a minimUm, an equal proportion of vertical and
horizontal architectural elements.
D Consider replicating the regular window pattern and other architectural I
elements of adjacent buildings.

D. AREAS OF MULTI-USE
The vitality of a city is dependent of the variety of activities that a visitor to the downtown
area can anticipate during their visit. In the revitalization of the Downtown core, spaces and
buildings should be considered as areas that can be used for many functions. Open spaces
should be able to accommodate both structured community celebrations and the many
visitors that Port Angeles receives each year. The area should be appealing and encourage
Downtown visitors to explore and experience what the city has to offer. A sheltered public
area such as a marketplace located in the Downtown would encourage more visitors to the
area in inclement weather.
GUIDELINE:
~ Open spaces and enclosed or sheltered public spaces should be designed to be flexible
and to accommodate a variety of functions, including both organized and casual use.
~ Open space design should include seating, lighting, public art display, planters and
landscaping.
~ Public spaces should follow ADA guidelines for public use.
~ Multi-use areas provided for community activities and events should provide an
acceptable on-site power source that can be made accessible as needed.
~ Multi-use areas should include access to potable water and drinking fountains.

E. FURNITURE AND SIDEWALKS
Port Angeles has three streets paralleling the waterfront that make up the Downtown. To
provide a unified appearance that creates the pleasing environment that is desired for the
Main StreefM program, it is necessary that streetscape fixtures be of like material and
structure in all areas of the Downtown. Sidewalk patterns, streetlights, signage, planters,
landscaping, and street furniture should be complimentary to provide an overall identity to
the area.
Street furniture includes such items as benches and trash receptacles. These items are
highly visible and should be of good quality and design. Attention should be paid to location
and design of these elements in relationship to the overall streetscape theme established by
the design plan.
Bicycle racks should be installed in sufficient number and conveniently located to ensure their
use. (See rack specifications Exhibit l-E and bicycle parking rules in Exhibit 2-E)
Vending machines for items such as newspapers, etc., should be placed in designated
locations and grouped along walls or spaces outside the direct flow of pedestrian traffic.
GUIDELINE
~ Sidewalk patterns should be consistent with the
concrete paver pattern that has been
established in the Downtown area. The overall
goal is to have this pattern throughout the
. Downtown. The large concrete square score
pattern currently used in some areas should be
considered a temporary pattern until such time
as funding is available to complete the paver
system.
~ Planters and hanging baskets add color and beauty to the business district and should
be incorporated into the entire Downtown area. Sufficient funds should be budgeted
annually to adequately maintain and replenish these highly visible additions to the
streetscape as seasons change.

~ The Port Angeles Downtown Association (PADA) has created a design for street
furniture that is complementary to the historic architectural features of Downtown
(Exhibit 3-E). The first phase to be completed will be the installation of new benches
that are manufactured locally. The bench will be stained aluminum with a laser cut
design exclusive to each bench backrest.
~ The next phase of the street furniture design plan will be for trash receptacles and
ashtrays to be created by the same designer. (Preliminary drawings forthcoming)
~ The PADA Design Committee shall approve any street furniture used in the Downtown
prior to installation.

Introduction
For a bikeway network to be used to its full potential, secure bicycle parking should be
provided at likely destination points.. Bicycle thefts are common and lack of secure parking is
often cited as a reason people hesitate to ride a bicycle to certain destinations. The same
consideration should be given to bicyclists as to motorists, who expect convenient and secure
parking at all destinations.
. Do not bend wheels or damage other bicycle parts;
. Accommodate the high security V-shaped bike locks;
. Accommodate locks securing the frame and both wheels;
. Do not trip pedestrians;
. Are covered where users will leave their bikes for a long time; and
; Are easily accessed from the street and protected from motor vehicles.
To provide real security for the bicycle (with its easily removed components) and accessories
(lights, pump, tools and bags), either bicycle enclosures, lockers or a check-in service is
required.
Bicycle parking facilities are generally grouped into 2 classes:
Long Term -Provides complete security and protection from weather; it is intended for
situations where the bicycle is left unattended for long periods of time: apartments and
condominium complexes, schools, places of employment and transit stops. These are usually
lockers, cages or rooms in buildings.
Short Tenil - Provides a means of locking bicycle frame and both wheels, but does not
provide accessory and component security or weather protection unless covered; it is for
decentralized parking where the bicycle is left for a short period ofti'me and is visible and.
convenient to the building entrance.

(The recommendations are in itpUcs, follq)1/fd byexplanatory text)
A.I. Dimensions
. Bicycle parking spaces should be at least 1.8 m (6ft) long and 0.6 m (2fi) wide,
and overhead clearance in covered spaces should be at least 2.1 m (7ft).
. A 1.5 m (5fi) aislefor bicycle maneuvering should be provided and maintained
beside or between each row ofbicycle parking.
. Bicycle racks or lockers should be securely anchored to the surface or a
structure.
These dimensions ensure that bicycles can be securely locked without undue inconvenience ;,-
and will be reasonably safeguarded from theft as well as intentional or accidental damage.
A.2. Covered Parking
. Bicycle parkingfor residential, school and industrial uses should be covered
. 50% ofbicycle parkingfor commercial uses should be. covered
. Where motor vehicle parking is covered, bicycle parking should also be covered
. Where there are 10 or more bicycle parking spaces, at least 50% of the bicycle
parking spaces should be covered
Pacific Northwest winters have mild temperatures and periods of intermittent rain. Many short
trips can be made by bicycle without getting wet; however, if the bicycle must be left
unattended for a longtime, a rider might hesitate to leaveit exposed to the weather.
Covered parking is necessary for long-term parking (mostly residential and employee uses).
For customers, visitors and other occasional users, covered parking is also beneficial.
Covered spaces can be building or roof overhangs, awnings, lockers or bicycle storage spaces
within buildings.
Covered parking needs to'be visible for security, unless supplied as storage within a building.
Covering should extend 0.6 m (2 ft) beyond the parking area, to prevent cross-winds from
blowing rain onto bicycles.
A.3. Location
. Bicycle parking should be located in well lit, secure locations within 15 m (50fi)
of the main entrance to a building, but notfurtherfrom the entrance than the
closest automobile parking space, but in no case further than 15 m (50fi) from an
entrance where several entrances are involved.
The effectiveness of bicycle parking is often determined by location. To reduce theft, a highly
visible location with much pedestrian traffic is preferable to obscure and dark corners.

Because of its smaller size, the bicycle can be parked closer to the rider's destination ti1an a
car.
Racks near entrances should be located so that there are no conflicts with pedestrians. Curb
cuts at the rack location discourage users from riding the sidewalk'to access the r'acks~
Many sites neeq two types of bicycle parking: short-term for customers, which should be up
front; and long-term (covered) for employees, which maybe placed farther away.
Separating bicycle from car parking by a physical barrier or sufficient distance protects parked
bicycles from damage by c~s.
. Bicycle par.~ing mayctlso be provided inside a building in secur~ and,accessible
~~~ '
This provides a. ~igh. degree of security and protection, at the expense of some convenience.
Dedicated roqhis'withcatd locks are very effective. Locating a room close to changing and
showering facilities enhances its attractiveness. .
. Bicycle parking provided in the public right-of-way should allow sufficient .
passage for pedestrians: 1.8 m (6ft)
?icycle parking may be provided within the public right-of-way in areas without building
setbacks, subject to approval oflocal officials and provided it meets the other requirements for
bicycle parking.
. See Table 8 on page 90for recommendations.
The recommendations are based on specific and easily measurable criteria; e.g. size of
buildings, number of residential units, numberof classrooms, etc. .
Combined parking could be allowed in areas of concentrated small bu~inesses, such as
downtowns and business parks. Publicly provided bicycle parking could also be used.
For park-and-ride lots, requirements need to relate the number of bicycle parking spaces tothe
probable service area; e.g. the number of residents within a five kilometer radius ofa facility.
The amount, location and usage of bicycle parking should be monitored and adjusted to
ensure that there is an adequate supply; If bicycle use increases, the need for bicycle parking
may increase above that specified when facilities are constructed. Local jurisdictions may' .
have to require additional bicycle parking to meet the demand.
Employment and retail centers should voluntarily provide additional parking to satisfy the
demands of customers and employees.

Long-term bicycle parking spaces should be provided at no cost, or with only a nominal.
charge for key deposits, etc. This does not preclude the operation of private for-profit bicycle
parking businesses. Residential parking spaces should be available to residents as part of
rental or ownership contracts.
Short-term bicycle parking should be available near the building entrances qf all land uses,
and should be free. . .

Notes:
Each individual use needs to be evaluated/or bicycle parking - e.g. a commercial accessory
use in an industrial district may have dtfferent requirements than the industrial uses around it.
Similarly, in mixed-use developments, the amount 0/ each use and required bicycle parking
needs evaluation. Finally, within each use category one needs to consider the dtfferent user
categories - residents, employees, customers, etc. - and parking requirements/or each.
Jurisdictions may wish to develop provisions to allow requirement of additional bicycle
parking exceeding these minimums where it is appropriate.

F. LIGHTING
01-06
Lighting should create well-lit, safe and pleasant public spaces. The use of standard lighting
fixtures throughout. the Downtown will contribute to a harmonious, uniform and coherent
streetscape. Street lighting addresses the various needs of the streetscape,Le. roadway
lighting to light the road and pedestrian lighting to light the sidewalks. The integration of the
pedestrian light fixtures into adjacent publicly accessible spaces is encouraged. For those
private areas, all . lighting locations and fixtures' rpust be verified with the Department of
Public Works and the PADA prior to purchase and installation.
GUIDELINE:
~ Additional pedestrian scale lighting for bus stop areas, pedestrian paths, entrances,
and parking entrances may be required.
~ Pedestrian light fixtures should be located on the sidewalks between driveways or
roadways and should ensure 0.75 to 1.5 foot-candles of illumination for pedestrian
safety .
~ The number and location of pedestrian light fixtures may vary from block to block.
~ The number of pedestrian light fixtures with signage attached shol..J1d be limited to
areas where there is no other option for positioning.
~ . .
~ Lighting bollards three to four feet in height, grpund level,
and miniature lights can be introduced to Illuminate trees,
paths, and walkways.
~ All... lighting fixtures must be equipped.with.outl~ts' of
suitable.. amperage to provide for speciat.event~j.ligt}ting
andpecorations. Teardrop streetlight fi.sturess9oulq;>p.,~

should be explored through the WASDOT, Le., metal halide lights that produce a mQre
natural white light and are nearl~ as. efficient as mercury or sodium. va'portypes.

G. SIGNAGE
Downtown Port Angeles is a pedestrian-oriented environment. Pedestrian-oriented signage is
the most effective for this environment and should not extend above the first floor.
Traditional pedestrian signage of professional quality, including window lettering, awning
signs, A-frame signs, and projecting signs, is preferred over large-scale and plastic back-lit
signs. Banner-type signage is not acceptable pedestrian signage,even if permanently
mounted. No signs that have the appearance of a temporary nature are acceptable. (Refer
to current City of Port Angeles sign ordinance)
A standard policy for the format of public information signage within the Downtown should
be developed through a cooperative effort between the City of Port Angeles and the Port
Angeles Downtown Association. This policy should consider the characteristics of the area,
size, and the potential of a thematic approach for information signage.
GUIDELINE:
Business Signage
~ Historically significant signs such as ghost signs are acceptable when professionally
restored.
~ Business signage should be of professional quality and done in scale to the storefront.
Public Signage
~ Public information signage, including entrance signs, district identification, traffic
control, and parking, should be placed within view of pedestrians, cyclists, or
motorists.
~ Signs and directories should be large enough to convey information clearly, yet not so
large that they contribute to visual clutter.
~ Colors and materials should be compatible with the fixtures or buildings to which they
will be attached.
~ Signs should be grouped to avoid redundancy.
~ Graphics should be developed to ensure coordination among public signs as well as to
provide a unified image.
~ Whenever possible eliminate the overuse of public signage in each block.
~ Public signage must meet all applicable federal, state, and local regulations and
standards.
~ Signage assistance available through PADA Design Committee (Exhibit 1a-, 1b-, 1c-J).

H. WATERFRONT PROMENADE
Historically, Port Angeles' waterfront has been used for water-related commerce. There has
been little emphasis placed on the development of the waterfront's aesthetic potential. The
waterfront along Railroad Avenue is a tremendous asset that needs to be emphasized and
enhanced to compliment the Downtown revitalization plan.
GUIDELINE:
~ Any new development or redevelopment of properties adjacent to the shoreline shall
comply with the policies and performance standards of the Shoreline Master Program
and the Washington State Department of Ecology Shorelines and Coastal Zone
Management Program Shoreline Public Access Handbook, relating to visual and
pedestrian access to and along the waterfront.
~ Public use and access to the waterfront should be optimized to include walkways,
points of interest, and public use areas such as parks and rest areas thus creating a
user-friendly atmosphere and a lasting impression for residents and visitors alike.

I. CITY CONNECTIONS - "The Pedestrian Meander"
Downtown Port Angeles is linearly organized along First Street, Front Street, and Railroad
Avenue paralleling the waterfront. Pedestrian circulation, while integrated with the streets, is
not limited to the characteristics of vehicular movement. A visitor can enjoy the Waterfront
Trail and City Pier without traveling into the Downtown. A pedestrian "meander" needs to be
established that will allow pedestrians to explore and experience the Downtown away from
the harbor area. Moving the visitor into the core area needs to be done in a random but
convenient way by means of connectors between spaces and buildings from one block to
another. Any future project planning should include this concept to move people easily
through the Downtown with the least amount of traffic impediment possible. However,
careful planning must be done in locating walkway connectors to assure that they are
properly placed in the downtown area so that they will not disrupt the rhythm of the
streetscape or be underutilized by pedestrian traffic.
The pedestrian meander should not be confused with a pedestrian mall concept. Pedestrian
malls were at one time considered to be a way to make downtowns function like suburban
malls to attract customers to the business area. Increasingly, pedestrian malls have only
accelerated the decline in commercial districts. Traditional shopping patterns were disrupted,
shoppers found, parking inconvenient, and the downtown business district became unfamiliar
to its customers. Many cities that in the past have designed their downtown to include
pedestrian mall areas are now realizing that is a costly mistake and are trying to remedy the
problems they have created.
\
\ GUIDELINE:
~ Designs should include and incorporate visual
and physical connections between pedestrian
spaces and public access areas that encourage
easy and inviting movement between adjoining
spaces.
~ The pedestrian walkways should be well lit and
receive regularly scheduled maintenance.
~ Future designs should incorporate views of our
surroundings where feasible.

J. BUILDINGS
01-06
Downtown Port Angeles is primarily composed of buildings that are designed as
"background" buildings. These are buildings that form the streets and public spaces,
boundaries, volume, and characterof the Downtown. A "background" building will be built to
the property line on the front and sides of the lots. The height of the building may vary from
the neighboring buildings, but with strong horizontal relationships.
A second type of building is a "stand-alone" building. A
"stand-alone" building is designed to be an object building, it
does not come to the property lines and will have more ins
and outs in the building envelope. These buildings should be
used very sparingly, since they do not help in defining the
public spaces. To be fully effective, the whole system of
facade improvement to the adjacent buildings and
streetscape improvements must be completed through a
coordinated effort. (See Exhibit 2- J)
Example of Stand-alone building
Example of Background building
GUIDELINE:
~ Building designs should include and incorporate
the "background" type of construction aiding in
the defining the streetscape of the Downtown.
~ All new buildings should be a "good neighbor"
to adjacent existing buildings in both design
and colors.
~ New buildings should not "fake" history, but; in
the same way they should relate to their
surroundings. The growth and vitality of
downtown buildings is due to them being a
reflection their own era.
~ Existing buildings should be brought back to
their original integrity.

STOREFRONTS
Many Downtown storefronts have components seen traditionally on commercial buildings.
The repetition of these standard elements creates a visual unity on the street that should be
preserved.
GUIDELINE:
~ All renovations should preserve these character-defining elements:
o Entry: Usually set back from the sidewalk in a protected recess.
o Display windows: The main portion of glass on the storefront.
o Upper story windows: Windows located in the second story area. These
usually have a vertical orientation.
o Cornice moldings: A decorative band at the top of the building.
o Clerestory, or transom: The upper portion of the display, separated from
the main display window by a frame.
o Kick plate, or base: Found beneath the display window. Sometimes called a
bulkhead panel.
o Faf;ade improvement assistance is available through the PADA Design
Committee. (See Exhibit -la-J, 1b-J, 1c-J)

SITE PLAN FOR INFILL CONSTRUCTION .
Infill construction should be encouraged to fill in vacant lots and thereby enhance the overall
atmosphere of the downtown environment.
Building-to-Street Grid for New Construction
~ New buildings will be constructed parallel to lot lines to provide conformity with
existing structures in the downtown area.
~ The primary fac;;ade should be oriented toward the street with building front aligned to
the sidewalk edge.
Visual Relationship
~ Infill design should pay particular attention to the front fac;;ade to ensure that it is
designed to maintain, not disrupt, the existing pattern of surrounding buildings along
the street.
~ Infill construction should not pretend to be historic in design, but should be sensitive
to the character of neighboring structures.
~ An infill fac;;ade that is developed with the architectural characteristics of its neighbors
in mind will be a compatible addition to the "neighborhood".
~ Corner buildings should announce the block by being larger or having a dominant
building element that sets them apart from the rest of the street -- for example, a
corner entrance, corner tower, canopy or cupola.
~ New construction should appear similar in height and width to neighboring historic
buildings.
o Historically, downtown buildings are consistently one- and two-stories in height.
o Infill construction should respect this and not interrupt the consistency of historic
construction.
o Historic buildings in the Downtown area were built in 50-foot increments and the
integrity of that width should be maintained in new construction projects.
o Large projects encompassing several lots should incorporate a variety of building
heights with one- and two-story rooflines and width increments to accomplish the
characteristic rhythm of facades along the street. The project should have a three-
dimensional scale throughout the building.
EIil
~im
1?~x.
~ Avoid deviating from this ratio in new construction.
I
o Flat rooftops not visible on the front fa~ade are characteristic of existing historic I
structures and should be incorporated into any infill construction design.

01-06
J-4
o Floor-to-floor height for windows should be consistent with adjacent traditional
structures. The rhythm of the window height and width in street-level display
windows and second-story windows throughout the block should be incorporated
into the new fa~ade of the infill building.
o See Exhibit 2-J for detailed drawings
BUILDING MATERIALS
~ Simple material finishes are encouraged.
o Matte finishes are preferred.
o Polished stone, for example, is appropriate.
~ Materials should appear similar to those used historically.
o Traditional materials are preferred, primarily stone and brick.
o New materials may be considered, but they should appear similar in character to
those used in the Downtown district. For instanced, brick should be similar size to
that used historically.
o New materials must have a demonstrated durability.
o Materials should be used in a manner similar to that used traditionally.
SOLID-TO-VOID RATIO
~ The ratio of window-to-wall should be similar to that seen traditionally on commercial
storefront buildings in the Downtown.
o First floors should be more transparent than upper floors. They should have
more glass.
o Upper floors should appear more solid than first floors.

DESIGN:
We have;looked at the evolution of the tradi-
tional Main Street facade and seen that changes
have,been, ,and will be, concentrated on the
stor:e,front. Ceneration after generation, store-
fronts change while the upper facade stays the
same o'r deteriorates 'or is hidden'behind a
, 'screen.
Because of its r~lativel!y permanent nature, the
upper fac~de ,is.pri!TIar.ily a maintenance Irepair
problem. The. storefront, on the other'hand, is
adesigh problem.
If you wish to restore the original storefront, a
little research may turn up historkphotos of '
you.r building. A good place to start is at the
local library, or by asking previous owners, or
even by searching~he building itself. .
I1?wever, you need n({necessarily recreate the
exact ,historic appearance.. The following are
ideas to think about as you plan'c:i:'change in
your storefront. Each is founded in'the tradi-
,tional storefront;. however, these ideas are not
"historicl' in n~ture. They are functional and
aimed at making the storefront more attractive
and ~c:ess'ible.to, shoopetL-' IiIII _

Olympic National Park and Victoria, British
Columbia. The Olympic Peninsula receives
over 4.5 million visitors annually. Downtown

DRY CREEK WATER ASSOCIATION TRANSFER AGREEMENT
Summary: The City intends to provide water service to some ofthe current Dry Creek Water Association
customers located in the recently annexed area along Highway 101 west of Fairmount Avenue. A
Transfer Agreement is needed to facilitate the disconnection of these customers from Dry Creek and
connection to the City's water system.
Recommendation: Approve the Transfer Agreement and authorize the Public Works and Utilities
Director to sign the Agreement on behalf of the City, and make minor changes if necessary with the
a roval of the Ci Mana er.
.
Background/Analysis: A Transfer Agreement (see attached) has been drafted for existing Dry Creek
Water customers that are now inside the CitY and will be served through City facilities. This includes
four residential customers and six commercial customers in that portion of the newly annexed area
between Gakin Road and Eclipse Industrial Parkway. The map attached to the Agreement shows the
locations of these customers.
To facilitate the transfer of the water service at no net cost to the existing customers, the City will
purchase the service rights, or shares, for these customers from the Dry Creek Water Association
(Association) and the Association will refund the shares to those customers. The connection fee that the
City then will charge those customers is equivalent to the share value, $3,600 for a residential service and
$5,700 for a commercial.service. The Transfer Agreement will be presented to the Association for
approval. Minor changes may be required prior to final signing.
A separate Special Service Agreement that addresses water service to existing Dry Creek customers that
are inside the City and remain on the Dry Creek water system is also being drafted and will be brought to
City Council next month for review and approval.
The UAC discussed the Transfer Agreement at their January 10, 2006 meeting and recommended support
for the proposed action.

AWARD OF 2006 STORM REPAIRS PROJECT No. 06-02
Summary: Bids were requested from four Small Works Roster contractors to repair storm damage to
the Waterfront Trail on Ediz Hook Road and the Olympic Discovery Trail at various locations east of
the Rayonier Mill Site. Three bids were received and opened January 17, 2006. Jordan Excavating,
Inc. of Port Angeles submitted the lowest responsible bid in the amount of $44,848.00, including
applicable taxes.
Recommendation: Award the project and authorize the Mayor to sign a contract with Jordan
Excavatin Inc. in the amount of $44,848.00 for the 2006 Storm Re airs Pro. ect 06-02.
Background! Analysis: During the period of January 1-3, exceptionally high tides and winter storm
events coincided to cause the failure on the waterfront trail on Ediz Hook Road and in several
locations of the shore revetment currently relied upon to protect a portion of the Olympic Discovery
Trail. Specifically, the high-tide and wind-driven wave action caused the heavy loose rip rap to fall
from the upland area, leaving several areas ofthe trail facility exposed to further erosion activity. On
Ediz Hook Road, erosion has undermined the paved trail facility and created a safety con~em.
!
Bids were solicited from four Small Works Roster contractors. Three bids were received; The low
responsible bid, from Jordan Excavating, Inc., of Port Angeles, in the amount of $44,848.'00, is within
the engineer's estimate. A summary of the bid results is provided below: I
Contractor City Bid (lncludin~ Tax)
Jordan Excavating, Inc. Port Angeles $44,848.00
Horizon Excavating, Inc. Port Angeles $47,970.20
.
Bruch & Bruch Const., Inc. Port Angeles $49,896.00
Lakeside Industries Port Angeles NO BID
Engineer's Estimate $47,959.00
In that this is not a budgeted project it is recommended that funding be from the unallocated portion
of the General Fund Projects for Capital Facilities Improvements. It is further recommended that the
City Council award the project and authorize the Mayor to sign a contract with Jordan Excavating,
Inc., in the amount of $44,848.00 for the 2006 Storm Repairs Project 06-02.

SUBJECT:
WUGA Utility Connection Fees Ordinance, Second Reading
Summary: New utility facilities have been constructed to provide water, wastewater, and
electrical service to the recently adoptedW estern Urban Growth Area (WUGA). Connection fees
have been developed for the water and wastewater utilities to assist in recovery of the extension
costs. The UAC supports the connection fees and recommended forwarding them to Council for
action. First reading of the Ordinance was conducted January 3,2006.
Recommendation: Adopt new ordinance establishin2 WUGA connection fees.
.
Backeround / Analvsis: The construction project for the extension of the water, wastewater,
and electrical service to the recently adopted Western Urban Growth Area (WUGA) is nearly
complete. At the start of the project, meetings were held with the project proponents and the .
residents of the annexed area. In order to fund the utility extensions to Port Angeles Hardwood,
the major industrial client agreed to provide $500,000toward the construction project. The
balance of the funding would come from the utilities involved and the General Fund. The
utilities would recover a portion of their funding contributions through WUGA connectionfe.es
(Water & Wastewater) and rates (Electrical). The WUGA connection fees are in addition to the
r
normal connection and system development fees paid by all new development in the City.
Water: W aterconnection fees were to be held to the value of the Dry Creek Water Association
fees so that existing customers, when connecting to the new system, would not have to pay.
additional fees. Their connection fee would be equal to the fee being refunded by the Dry Creek
Water Association and additional City connection and system development fees will be waived.
New water customers or existing customers that expand their water service would pay the added
WUGA connection fees and normal City connection and system development fees. The proposed
water connection base fee is $3,500 for existing residential service and $5,600 for existing
commercial service. New and expanded water services would be charged a $3,500 base fee plus
$4,500 for each additional Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU). These fees were developed on
the total estimated water system construction and engineering costs of $2,930,000 with the utility
subsidizing 50% of the construction cost and all of the engineering costs.
Wastewater: Wastewater connection fees were developecl on the full costs of the wastewater
extension expense, since there was no existing service in the area. This will allow the City to
also serve customers in the WUGAthat have not been annexed into the City. The proposed
wastewater base fee is $4,600 plus $1,900 for each additional ERU. These fees were developed
on the total estimated wastewater construction and engineering costs of $862,000.

WUGA Utility Connection Fees Ordinance
January 3, 2006
Page 2
There are no proposed electrical connection fees. The cost of the electrical construction, .
engineering, and PUD system acquisition costs will be recovered through a five-year surcharge
on the electrical rates. The surcharge for electric customers in the WUGA will be 80% of the
difference between the City and PUD rates for a period of five years.
The ordinance provides for recovery of City Water and Wastewater Utility costs, including
interest, from each owner only when they connect to the utility. As noted above, existing Dry
Creek water customers will be connected to the new water system without net additional costs.
The individual connection costs to be collected are based on ERU's as estimated in the attached
Exhibit "A".
Exhibit "B", also attached, shows the total cost associated with the water main, wastewater force
main, and appurtenant pumping facilities needed to serve the WUGA.
The connection fee ordinance notes that at the time of payment, interest at the rate applicable
(6%) to the City at the completion of construction (12/16/2005) and accruing subsequentlywill
be added to the connection fee for a period not to exceed ten years. All requests for water and
wastewater service in the service area will be assessed accordingly. Any water or wastewater
service outside the original service area, which connects to or utilizes the water or wastewater
mains, will also be assessed using the above methods.
An additional 'Where as' clause was added after the first reading to clarify the intent that no net
WUGA connection costs or other fees will be collected when existing customers are transferred
to City water service.
.
The UAC at the November 18, 2005 meeting supported the connection fees and recommended
forwarding them to Council for action. This is the second reading of the ordinance. The first
reading ofthe ordinance was on January 3,2006. It is recommended that Council approve the
new ordinance establishing the WUGA connection fees.

CITY COUNCIL l
SCOTT K. JOI-INS~ I
ASSOCIATE PLANNER
"The Reserve at Valley Creek" PRD and Subdivision
Summarv: Development of a 34.5 acre site in the RS-7 Single Family zone into 55 single
family residential lots, 60 zero lot line duplex lots, 24 zero lot line 4-plex town house lots,
for a total of 139 dwelling units. Several common useable open space areas are also
included. The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD and subdivision provide an alternative
residential development design to the basic single family residential neighborhood and the
basic multi-family residential neighborhood in a manner that is affordable as starter homes
for new families and other first time home buyers. Conditions are recommended that would
. satisfy the PRD standards that are not included in the initial plans.
Recommendation: The City Council should concur with the recommendation of the
Planning Commission to give preliminary approval to the Reserve at Valley 'Creek
Planned Residential Deve~opment and subdivision with the attached conditions,
findings, and conclusions.
Backl!round I Analysis:
The proposed "The Reserve at Valley Creek" planned residential development (PRD) and
subdivision site is located south of Ahlvers Road and east of Laurel Street. The site contains a
portion of the Valley Creek ravine on the southwest corner of the site, and a category III wetland
complex in the northeastern portion of the site. The two sensitive areas comprise approximately
14 acres of the site. Both of the areas will be set aside as part of the common usable open space
that is required as part of a planned residential development.
The site will be accessed from a southerly extension of Laurel Street. Laurel Street north
of the site does not meet City standards and will require improvement by the developer. Existing
utilities are provided to the, site which are sized to accommodate the proposed dwelling units. A
portion of Condition #2 requiring additional traffic study information has been met with the
submission of a revised traffic study on October 17,2005.
The proposal is a mix of single family units, zero lot line duplex units, and zero lot line 4-
plex townhouse units. While the proposed subdivision does not conform to all RS-7 residential
development standards, smaller lot sizes and shared lot line configurations are permissible through
.
21
City approval of a site specific planned residential development overlay subject to overall density
limitations. The overall density of "The Reserve atValley Creek" is less than 4.7 dwelling units
per acre. The RS-7 zone allows 6.22 dwelling units per acre.
As conditioned, the configuration of the proposed subdivision lots and street layout
conforms to the desired urban design of the City for residential developments in outlying areas
where there is no grid street pattern and low impact development standards are allowed. The
curvilinear streets will include two ..10- foot travel lanes, an 8- foot parking lane with rolled curbs, .
and a 6-foot concrete sidewalk on one side of the street.
The preliminary plat application includes a drawing received June 6, 2005, and a revised
drawing received July 11, 2005, prepared for the applicant by Development and Construction
Group, Inc., and Zenovic and Associates. The drawings were used as the basis of the preliminary
plat review. The final plat will be entitled "The Reserve at Valley Creek" Planned Residential
Development and subdivision. As conditioned, the public interest is served in the preliminary
approval of the planned residential development and platting of the subdivision as articulated in
the City's Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and Subdivision Ordinance. The proposed
subdivision provides for the development of new homes within the City of Port Angeles consistent
with the Growth Management Act and is beneficial to the City's tax base.
The final PRD and plat approval shall provide conditions, covenants, and restrictions that
will provide for maintenance of common public areas and a mechanism for dispute resolution.
The small lot and zero lot line housing model designs for duplex and 4-plex dwelling units
are designed to be priced as moderate, cost affordable housing, providing starter homes for new
families or other first time buyers, or for those wishing to downsize their housing needs. This
design is rather unique to the City and provides opportunity to provide alternative housing options.
Since the August 3, 2005, Planning Commission meeting, the applicant has submitted a
wetland mitigation plan for review. The plan proposes replacement of impacted wetland areas at a
3:1 ratio (PAMC 15.24 requires 1.5:1 replacement ratio), the addition of approximately 1,200
plants, and a ten-year monitoring schedule. Successful performance of the wetland mitigation plan
is supported by bond. The wetland mitigation plan more than meets that minimum requirements
setforth in PAMC 15.24, and satisfies proposed Condition #21 of the August 3, 2005, amended
staff report. The wetland mitigation plan is currently under review and a wetland permit is
pending. I
As requested by the City of Port Angeles Public Works and Utilities Department,
additional traffic information was gathered at a time that included high school traffic. The results
were sent to Washington State Department of Transportation for comment. Based on the resulting
information, a monetary value has been determined to compensate for anticipated traffic impacts.
Included in the packet are copies of the July 13,2005, and the August 3, 2005, amended
staff report. It should be noted that the August 3, 2005, staff report includes a revised site plan
map showing a reduction oflots from 147 to 139. Area calculations for the PRD & subdivision
are also attached. Additionally, information specific to issues of concern identified atthe public
hearing are attached as Exhibit A: micro climate, architectural, open space, and photographs.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS IN SUPPORT OF PRELIMINARY APPROVAL OF THE
RESERVE AT VALLEY CREEK PRD/SUBDIVISION:
. Findings:
.
.
1.
Following a pre-application meeting on March 31, 2005, a PRD application was
submitted on May 3,2005. Following a request for additional information, a revised site
plan was submitted on June 5, 2005. The Reserve at Valley Creek application was
determined to be complete on June 6, 2005. The revised preliminary plat drawing for
The Reserve at Valley Creek shows a 140 lot subdivision proposal. All of the lots access
from the intersection of Laurel Street and Ahlvers Road.
The preliminary plat would subdivide the approximately 29.84 acres of land into 140
residential building lots, ranging from 2,000 to 11,900 square feet (see Attachment C for
the preliminary plat). While the proposed subdivision does not conforms to all
preliminary plat requirements, smaller lot size and private street access are permissible
through City approval of a site specific planned residential development per P AMC
I
Chapter 17.19.
The small lots though permissible in a planned residential development are subject to
overall density limitation. The overall density of The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD is
4.92 units/acre. Port Angeles Municipal Code (P AMC) Chapter 17.19 sets forth the
City's requirements for the approval of planned residential developments, and PAMC
Chapter 16.08 sets forth the City's requirements for the approval of subdivisions.
The Revised Code of Washington RCW' 58.17 contains the State's guidelines for the
uniform division of land within the State of Washington. Section 58.17.110 requires a
city to inquire into the public use and interest proposed to be served by the establishment
of a subdivision. It shall determine if appropriate provisions are made for, but not limited
to, the public health, safety, and general welfare, for open spaces, drainage ways, streets
or roads, alleys, other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes,
parks and recreation, playgrounds, schools and school grounds, and shall consider all
other relevant facts including sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe
walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school and whether the public
interest will be served by the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall not be approved
unless the city can make written findings that these provisions are made.
The purpose of a planned residential development (PRD)is set forth in Section 17.19.010
as follows:
This Overlay Zone is to provide alternative zoning regulations which permit and
encourage design flexibility, conservation and protection of natural amenities and
critical areas, and innovation in residential developments to those regulations
found in the underlying zone. It is intended that a Planned Residential
Development will result in a residential environment of higher quality than
traditional lot-by-lot development by use of a design process which includes
within the site design all the components of a residential neighborhood, such as
open space, circulation, building types, and natural features, in a manner
consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare.
Section 16.08.050(B)(1) P AMC provides that the Planning Commission shall examine
the proposed plat, along with written recommendations of the City Departments, and
shall either approve or disapprove the submittal. A recommendation thereon shall be
forwarded to the City Council within a period of 90 days after a preliminary plat has been

submitted to the City Planning Department. The City Council shall either approve or
disapprove the proposed preliminary plat at a public meeting.
The PRD and Subdivision preliminary plat applications were determined to be complete
on June 6, 2005. Per RCW 58.17.140, action must be taken on a preliminary subdivision
within 90 days of submittal of a complete application. The Planning Commission took
action on this issue on August 3,2005. An appeal of the SEPA determination issued for
the application was filed on July 20, 2005. The applicant consented to an extension of
the processing time line per RCW 58.17 to enable the appeal to take place.
The proposed 29.84 acre The Reserve at Valley Creek Planned Residential Development
(PRD) and Subdivision site is located at the southwest comer of Ahlvers Road and Laurel
Street. The development provides for subdivision of the subject site into 140 lots
designed for small-lot single family residences, zero lot line duplexes and fourplex row
houses.
The site is topographically diverse, with the southwest portion of the site containing the
Valley Creek Ravine with the northern portion sloping gently from south to north, and
resulting in a small depressional wetland adjacent to the northern boundary of the
property.
A wetland delineation and preliminary wetland mitigation plan have been received by the
City of Port Angeles. The mitigation plan indicates that the wetland will be increased in
size and the functions and values for stormwater and habitat will be enhanced.
The preliminary plat application includes a drawing dated received June 5, 2005,
prepared for the applicant, Development and Construction Group by Zenovic and
Associates, Inc., provided in Attachment B, and used as the basis of the preliminary plat
review. The final plat will be entitled The Reserve at Valley Creek Planned Residential
Development and Subdivision.
The site is served by Ahlvers Road and Laurel Street, which do not meet City arterial
street standards south of View crest.
Utilities are provided to the site.
The proposal has been reviewed with respect to the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code,
and Subdivision Ordinance. The Comprehensive Plan land use designations for the site is
Low Density Residential (LDR). The approximately 29.84 acre property of the PRD was
zoned as RS-7 ResidentialSingle Family at the time the property was annexed to the City
(ANX 05-02 dated May 31, 2005). Other surrounding properties are zoned RS-9
Residential Single Family (located in the City), LD, or RCC5 (located in the County) and
are developed with low. density residential uses or are undeveloped. The Independent
Bible Church is located directly east of the site.
The proposed planned residential development and subdivision preliminary plat were
reviewed by the City's Fire, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and Economic and
Community Development Departments.
The proposed The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD and Subdivision is in the Fire
Department four minute response area. According to PAMC 18.08.110 - Fire
Suppression Requirements, each multi-family residence within a new subdivision shall be
equipped with a residential sprinkler system that is installed and maintained in
accordance with Uniform Fire Code (UFC) and National Fire Protection Association
(NFP A) standards.

17. Public notice of the PRD and . subdivision a.pplication was published in the Peninsula
Daily News on June 10,2005, posted on the site on June 10,2005 and mailed to property
owners within 300 feet of the proposed subdivision on June 7, 2005. The Department of
Community and Economic Development received twenty-five public comment letters,
which are provided in Attachment D.
18. The subject property is identified as Low Density Residential (LDR) on the Port Angeles
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The following Comprehensive Plan policies are
found to be most relevant to the proposal: 'Growth Management Element Goal A; Land
Use Element Goal A, Policy A.2, Goal B, Policies B.l, B.2, & B.4, B.6 & 7, Goal C,
Policy C.l - 3, Goal I, Objective 1.1; Transportation Element Goal A, Policies A3 and
A6; Utilities and Public Services Element Policy D.l; Housing Element Goal A;
Conservation Element Goal A, Policies AI-A3, Goal B, Policies B.l ~B.4, B.16,
Objectives B.3-B.4; Capital Facilities Element, Policies Al 0, B.6, C.3.
19. The Comprehensive Plan requires concurrency for streets, water service, sanitary sewer
service, and electrical service (Capital Facilities Element Policy A9).
20. The Comprehensive Plan recommends concurrency for solid waste collection, stormwater
management, telecommunications service, and emergency services (police, fire and
emergency medical response) (Capital Facilities Element Policy A.l 0).
21. The City's Comprehensive Plan (Land Use Element Goal B) states the intention to have a
community where residential development and use of the land are done in a manner that
is compatible with the environment, the characteristics of the use and the users, and the
desired urban design of the City.
22. A planned residential development is one of the innovative techniques the. City has to
achieve implementation of Open Space and Conservation policies and the desired urban
design of the City.
23. The proposal meets the minimum site size for a planned residential development.
24~ The subject property in The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD and Subdivision is identified
by the Port Angeles Zoning Map as RS-7 Residential Single Family, which allows a
density of up to 6.22 units per acre. The revised preliminary plat drawing dated June 5,
2005, indicates that each lot in the proposed subdivision will be at least 2,000 square feet
in size and that the size of most of the single family residential lots is 6,000 to 7,000
square feet, the duplex lots are between 3,050 square feet and 5,400 square feet and the
row house lots are between 2,000 and 3,500 square feet.
25. The small lot and PRD housing model designs are priced to be affordable in costs for new
single family homes, providing starter homes for new families and other first time home
buyers. This small lot housing design is still rather unique to the City and provides
another opportunity similar to Highland Estates, a senior housing development off Golf
Course Road and Lauridsen Boulevard.
26. All required utility improvements including potable water, sanitary waste, electrical, and
refuse collection have been provided to the subject site or are available in the area.
27. The Port Angeles School District .currently serves the area, and school capacity is not an
issue with the present trend in declining enrollments.
28. There currently are no designated school walking routes in the vicinity, however the
school district is in the process of reevaluating the school walking route map and it is
likely that both Laurel Street and Ahlvers Road will be added to the school walking route
map.

The site is currently served by the City's Police, Fire, and Public Works Departments.
Building permits are required for all structures on any approved building lots. All local
Building and Fire Codes apply to any new construction on the subject property.
Clearing and grading permits are required for any initial site development on sites greater
than one acre in size. A Wetland Permit is required prior to the start of the wetland
mitigation work.
The City's State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Official issued a Determination of
Nonsignificance (DNS #1108) on July 6, 2005, satisfying the City's SEPA responsibility.
City of Port Angeles Public Works and Utilities Department engineering staff determined
that the JTE traffic study lacked certain detail that will only be available after the school
year begins in the fall. Until further study is completed, the City and the developer
cannot know the extent of the impacts to local streets and can therefore not be expected to
formulate a detailed agreement to mitigate those impacts.
PAMC 17.19.050(C) requires all PRDs to provide for continuous and perpetual
maintenance of common open space, common recreation facilities, private roads, utilities,
parking areas and other similar development within the boundaries of the PRD in form
and manner acceptable to the City.
P AMC 17.19 .090(G) requires that an applicant for a PRD submit "Preliminary elevation
and perspective drawings of projects structures" which provide the City and the
neighbors with a degree of surety as to the design, look, and feel of a PRD where typical
lot sizes and setbacks are likely to be reduced.
Testimony from a retired Biologist was presented at the July 13, 2005, public hearing
stating that the Valley Creek ravine is a wildlife corridor used by resident native animals.
Some of the reported animals (bear, cougar, coyote) may pose a threat to life or property
for the residents of the PRDlsubdivision.
A revised site plan for the PRD shows a total of 4.7 acres of open space that can be used
for recreational purposes.
.
.
Conclusions:
A. The conditions of The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD and Subdivision are consistent with
the Zoning Code, required by the Subdivision Ordinance, and necessary to implement the
Comprehensive Plan.
B. As conditioned, all the necessary public improvements will be installed per the City
Urban Services Standards and Guidelines.
C. As conditioned, the configuration of the proposed subdivision lots and street layouts
conform to the desired urban design of the City for the residential developments in
outlying areas where there is no grid street pattern and low impact development standards
are allowed. The curvilinear streets with a 28 foot paved surface and no parking along
one side of the streets reduce storm water runoff and still provide adequate access for each
residential lot.
D. As conditioned, the utility services will be provided consistent with the' Urban Services
Standards and Guidelines and the Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan
level of service standards. Analysis of downstream sanitary sewer capacity has been
provided that indicates no capacity improvements are needed for the additional 140 units
of The Reserve at Valley CreekPRD. .

Findings and Conclusions

E.
Because the City does not have any neighborhood parks or playfields in the vicinity and
the subdivision will have more than 30 new home sites, one or more of the community
areas shown in the planned residential development. and subdivision preliminary plat
should be designed as a children's play area.
The small lots proposed for The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD and Subdivision are
desired for the following reasons: 1) the provision of attractive and affordable homes for
new families and other first time home buyers, and 2) the lots satisfy the desired urban
design of the City, except for their small size, which fits the density requirements of the
RS-7 zone and the PRD Overlay Zone.
This is not the basic urban land use pattern fOLthe City's lower density single family
residential neighborhoods. The density is much more like a multi-family residential
neighborhood due to the concentration of homes outside of the critical areas. The PRD
does provide for a higher density single family development with surrounding open
spaces consistent with the PRD Overlay Zone.
The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD and Subdivision provide an alternative residential
development design to the basic single family residential neighborhood and the basic
multi-family residential neighborhood in a manner that is affordable as starter homes for
new families and other first time home buyers. Conditions are recommended that would
satisfy the PRD standards that are not included in the proposal plans.
As conditioned, The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD and Subdivision preliminary plat is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code.
As conditioned, The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD and Subdivision preliminary plat is in
conformance with the Port Angeles Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter 16.08 P AMC, and
the Washington State Subdivision Act, Chapter 58.17 RCW.
As conditioned, appropriate provisions have been made for the public health, safety and
general welfare and for such open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, other
public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation,
playgrounds, schools and school grounds, sidewalks and other planning features that
assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school.
As conditioned, the public interest is served in the preliminary approval of planned
residential development and platting of the subdivision as articulated in the City's
Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and Subdivision, Ordinance. The subdivision
provides for development of new homes within the City of Port Angeles consistent with
the Growth Management Act and beneficial to the City's tax base.
The final drainage plan must be approved by the City Engineer, and the City's
stormwater drainage standards will require that the proposed development. not impact
downstream properties anymore than pre-development conditions. The drainage and
erosion control plans also are subject to the Department of Ecology NPDES permit.
The P AMC Chapter 17.19 Planned Residential Development Overlay Zone and Chapter
16.08 Subdivision Regulations allow for variations from standards variations in street
improvements, blocks, lots, and building line setbacks. Conditions are recommended
where certain proposed variation should not be approved due to the small lot design,
which allows for less on-site variation.
A more detailed traffic study that meets the City's expectations will provide a basis for
evaluation and mitigation of traffic impacts.

As conditioned, the City will be assured that common space areas located in the PRD will
be provided with adequate maintenance.
As conditioned, the inclusion of specific building design or the use of design guidelines,
the City will be able to control the look and feel of the structures in the PRD by the strict
application of the designs or guidelines at the time building permits are issued.
As conditioned, a physical barrier located at the top of the ravine will provide adequate
protection for the residents of the PRDlsubdivision from potential impacts posed by
wildlife inhabiting the Valley Creek ravine.
The revised site plan for the PRD provides adequate area for common usable open space,
half of which is usable for recreation purposes.

Chair Rasmussen indicated to the persons in attendance that the public meeting isa continuance
of the July 13, 2005, Commission meeting and that the public hearing portion of the meeting had
been opened and then closed. No further public testimony would. be heard other than if the
commission had specific questions of a member of the audience.
Associate Planner Scott Johns presented an amended staff report addressing issues that
were brought up at the July 13,2005, public hearing on the proposed PRD. Several changes had
been proposed by the applicant that were pointed out, primarily a change in the location of the
entry road. This change resulted in a reduction of the number of lots being proposed and an
increase in the amount of land that would be provided for common usable open space; The
number of proposed lots is now 140, a reduction of 7 from the original proposal. Other issues
discussed by the staff report included traffic impacts, storm drainage from the site, the amount of
recreational area being provided, the overall site density, potential problems associated with
wildlife living in the Valley Creek ravine, control of architectural design, maintenance of
common areas, noise and air pollution, and how this development will fit into the surrounding
neighborhood.
Commissioner Kalish expressed concern regarding the proposed condition requiring a
fence to prevent wildlife intrusion into the developed area. Discussion occurred as to whether a
fence would actually prevent animals from venturing into the area, how much of the area might
have to be fenced, what type and height of fence would be needed, and whether the future
occupants would want a fence.. The Commission decided that the standard requirement for a
critical area of a split rail fence to separate the ravine from the development with appropriate
signage provided by the City would be adequate and acceptable to all parties. The conclusion
that no fence would keep determined animals out of the development was reached.
Chair Rasmussen then directed the discussion to the salient points covered in the staff
report beginning with traffic issues. Commissioner Kalish stated that transportation is a major
concern. She questions if the system would protect the interests of the City of Port Angeles.
With regard to warrants that would be identified by a traffic study, she asked whether specific
warrants would require that specific mitigation will be implemented. City traffic engineer Jim
Mahlum stated that currently, sidewalks will be required because Laurel is a school walking
route. The traffic study will determine what the percentage impact and contribution is to the
developer. Based on previous projects, costs can be estimated and from the traffic study results a
cost to the developer can be determined. The intersection at Laurel and Lauridsen is approaching
the level of impact that will require a traffic signal. The traffic study will determine if the
development will push the level to. needing a signal. It would not be fair to require a developer
to pay the entire cost of a signal unless all of his traffic makes the signal necessary.
Commissioner Kalish asked how the city would deal with a situation where the traffic study
indicated that severe traffic congestion would occur. Mr. Mahlum suggested that synchronized
signalization would be used. In all cases the decision balances safety and congestion.
Commissioner Kalish then asked if all traffic mitigation action required were put in place, would

this development ultimately put Port Angeles in a situation that could not be remedied? Chair .
Rasmussen responded that the Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element provides a
mechanism for dealing with long range traffic issues and that the answer lies in making
appropriate changes to the Comprehensive Plan rather than extracting mitigation from this
developer. Commissioner Kalish expressed concern that the Planning Commission would be
allowing a development that would create a choke point for the City. Chair Rasmussen
responded that it is up to the Commission to trust staff to ensure that proper mitigation of the
expected .impacts will be mitigated and look at revisions to the Comprehensive Plan for longer
term solutions. Community and Economic Development Director Madsen also responded that
the City looks to the Comprehensive Plan to deal with issues on a long range basis. More
specifically the 1,000 vehicle trips that are predicted by this development will be spread out over
the entire 24 hour day. There are ways through engineering to predict where the vehicles hit
certain point so by staging and timing, the impacts are reduced. Commissioner Kidd suggested
that the traffic study might look at a four way stop at the intersection of Laurel and Park. Mr.
Mahlum indicated that only one accident has happened at that comer but doubts that the
intersection will warrant stop signs. Commissioner Wharton mentioned sidewalks on school
walking routes and developers contributions and stated that she would like to see those specifics
in the conditions. She is not reassured that the neighborhood will remain pedestrian friendly and
does not feel confident that the conditions are specific enough to ensure. the developer is
contributing adequately to the costs of mitigating traffic impacts. Staff recommended a minor
revision to the condition. Chair Rasmussen commented that the traffic issues are his single most
important concern about the project. He is uncomfortable about the revised discussion on the
issue. First because Peabody St. is not mentioned and should be included in the traffic study. .
Potential development to the south of this development will also have impacts. Theother
concern is that the condition does not contain a date for completion of road construction. Chair
Rasmussen stated that he would like to make a strong recommendation to the City Council that if
the PRD is approved, the street construction be completed at or before the PRD is complete.
Commissioner Kalish agreed. Mr. Madsen interjected that the Commission could not legally
require the City Council to act. He also stated that the Comprehensive Plan sets the level of
service for all infrastructure needs and by State law, Staff must evaluate how different proposals
impact that level of service. As long as the minimal level .of service is there, the City cannot
deny a development. Chair Rasmussen stated that the Planning Commission can make a strong
recommendation to the Council. Commissioner Kalish restat~d her concern that through no fault
of the developer this development will create a traffic situation that will be a long term problem.
The Commission took a short recess at 8:05 p.m. and reconvened at 8:15 p.m.
Commissioner Wharton asked about the buffer area for the Valley Greek ravine. Mr.
Johns indicated that the area. was previously disturbed and that the buffer would not be necessary
to maintain the functions and values of the ravine, especially if the ravine is fenced and marked
as a sensitive area. Mr. Madsen also pointed out that the natural topography slopes away from
the top of the ridge; Commissioner Wharton asked for clarification of the area calculations used
to determine recreation and open space. Mr. Johns went over the rational used to make the
determinations.
Chair Rasmussen commented that this area of the city is one of the few areas left in the
City where adequate land for development exists. Commissioner Kidd commented that she had
visited other developments that the proponent had completed and that neighbor concerns about .
the quality of the development and the nature of potential residents seemed to be unfounded.
Her observation is that the developments are well done and well maintained. She further stated
36

that a different housing market is developing in Port Arigeles and elsewhere.
Commissioner Kalish feels that before staff require the proponent to provide an
expensive fence to prevent dangerous animals from intruding into the development that it should
be documented that the fence will be effective. Commissioner Wharton suggested that the word
aesthetic be included in the condition. Commissioner Kalish again pointed out that the fence
may not serve any purpose and result in money being spent unnecessarily. Commissioner
Wharton suggested that a more scientific study as to how to protect the wildlife and wildlife
corridor might be helpful. Mr. Johns suggested that leaving the condition in while attempting to
provide additional support for the fence and later asking the City Council to remove the
condition if it is found unnecessary would make more sense than removing the condition now
and later asking City Council to reinstate the condition. Discussion on the aesthetics of a fence
followed. Commissioner Wharton asked Tom Armstrong, the developer, if he had any thoughts
on the fence issue. Mr. Armstrong indicated that he felt that the issue of dangerous wildlife
being a problem was exaggerate and that a fence to keep dangerous wildlife out of the
development is a ridiculous idea. Commissioner Kalish agreed. Commissioner Wharton brought
up the situation of individuals entering the ravine to ride bicycles or do other activities not in
concert with a natural area. Mr. Armstrong pointed out that in other developments, fences have
been erected and individuals still find a way to get around them. In other developments near
critical area, they have used split rail fences and attached signs that the State has provided
indicating thatthe area is a critical area. Mr. Johns added that the City is looking at extending
the Valley Creek trail through this area which will bring people into the ravine and increase
human activity and also reduce the likelihood of dangerous wildlife. He also indicated that a
typ~cal condition for a critical area would be a split rail fence and signs as a visual barrier more
than a physical barrier. The Commission directed staff to revise condition #20 to require a split
rail fence at the top of the ravine and to include signage identifying the area as an
environmentally sensitive area.
Commissioner Kalish commented on the sample document that the proponent provided
as an example of a mechanism to manage maintenance of common areas and design control. Mr.
Armstrong answered several questions from the commission regarding the example document.
He indicated that there would be a similar document filed for each individual lot as well as a
larger document filed for the entire development. The document would have a component'
whereby each homeowner would pay a percentage of the maintenance costs associated with the
maintenance of the common areas. Commissioner Kalish asked if the condition requiring
CC&Rs, Association, or other mechanism is a strict condition as it is worded. Mr. Johns
indicated that it is not, but is intended to be flexible enough so that maintenance of common
areas is provided and adequate control over building design can be assured in a document(s) that
will take a form chosen by the developer with the approval of the City. Chair Rasmussen.related
his knowledge and experience of such legal mechanisms. Commissioner Kalish indicated that
the proposed condition fully addresses one of her major concerns of the project.
Commissioner Wharton stated in response to Chair Rasmussen earlier comment that she
felt that we (the City) is running out of open space but not running out of usable space, that there
are many areas of potential redevelopment. She further indicated that the RS-7 designation on
the outskirts of the City was a major concern to the local area residents. The number of units
proposed for the area exceeding the allowed base density of the areas not constrained by the
critical areas. Mr. Johns confirmed that the proposal was 15 units above the base density of the
area not encumbered by critical area. However, well over 1/3 of the total site has physical
constraints of wetland or ravine that are being credited to the developer. Mr. Madsen added that
37

City ordinance allows an administrative 10% minor deviation and that the PRD is' actually more
stringent in some ways. The PRD intent is also to provide for a more creative and higher quality
development than by standard subdivision methods. The developer has chosen the PRD
approach in order to provide a different housing type, the zero lot line units, that could not be
allowed by. more traditional development. Commissioner Kalish indicated that she feels that the
development still had difficulties even though the developer has addressed many of her earlier
concerns. Commissioner Kidd stated that Port Angeles needs affordable housing.
Commissioner Kalish indicated that she follows the real estate market and that there have been
several price reductions recently and that the housing market may not be as dire as once
believed. She further stated that she agreed with Commissioner Wharton that possibly infill
development in areas with fewer environmental constraints should be looked at for future
development. Commissioner Wharton added that she was not opposed to the variety of housing
types but remained somewhat concerned over the total number of units.
Access to the ravine area for future use by nonresidents was discussed. Mr. Armstrong
indicated that he is not opposed to allowing access through a trail system in the Valley Creek
ravine. However, he expressed some concern over his ability to project what his costs will be
considering the newly added conditions. Chair Rasmussen concurred with Mr. Armstrong and
stated that his concern was not as much with this particular development but with the City in that
necessary street improvements have not been made at previous times and earlier developments
were approved without requiring the necessary street improvements and that, now the required
street improvements are being applied to this development. Mr. Armstrong responded that he is
willing to contribute substantially to the traffic impacts and pointed out that the type of
contribution he is willing to make will enable the City to gain access to additional grant monies
for street improvements in that area. Chair Rasmussen indicated that he will insist on a strong
recommendation to the City Council, if and when this proposal moves forward, stating that street
improvements must be in place when the development is complete. Commissioners Kalish,
Wharton, and Kidd all spoke in support of the project while agreeing that the street and
pedestrian issues in the area must be addressed. Chair Rasmussen suggested a statement that he
feels should accompany the Planning Commission's recommendation to the City Council. A
discussion regarding the streets that should be included in the traffic study ensued and
determined that Peabody Street need not be included in the traffic study. Hearing no further
discussion, Chair Rasmussen asked for a motion. Commissioner Matthews I moved to send a
recommendation of approval of the Reserve at Valley Creek PRDlsubdivision to the City
Council, citing the following 21 amended Conditions, 36 Findings and 18 Conclusions.
Conditions:
1. The final plat shall show the building front lot lines drawn on the face of the plat. All
building line setbacks on external lot lines shall meet RS-7 Zone requirements. All lot
lines (solid lines) and building setback lines (dashed lines) shall be accurately
dimensioned on the final plat.
2. Prior to final PRD/Subdivision approval, the applicant must complete a traffic study that
includes AM peak hour traffic counts at the intersection of Laurel St. and Lauridsen Blvd.
(US 101) taken during a period when both Port Angeles School District and Peninsula
College are in session. The developer's contribution to street and sidewalk
improvements to Laurel Street, Ahlvers Road, and possible signalization at the
intersection of Laurel Street and Lauridsen Blvd. (US 101) shall be agreed upon by the
developer and the City and shall be based upon results of the traffic study done during the

Findings:
1. Following a pre-application meeting on March 31, 2005, a PRD application was
submitted on May 3, 2005. Following a request for additional information, a revised site
plan was submitted on June 5, 2005. The Reserve at Valley Creek application was
determined to be complete on June 6, 2005. The revised preliminary plat drawing for
The Reserve at Valley Creek shows a 147 lot subdivision proposal. All of the lots access
from the intersection of Laurel Street and Ahlvers Road.
2. The preliminary plat would subdivide the approximately 29.84 acres of land into147
residential building lots, ranging from 2,000 to 11,900 square feet (see Attachment C for
the preliminary plat). While the proposed subdivision does not conforms to all
preliminary plat requirements, smaller lot size and private street access are permissible
through City approval of a site specific planned residential development per P AMC
Chapter 17.19.
3. The small lots though permissible in a planned residential development are subject to
overall density limitation. The overall density of The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD is
4.92 units/acre. Port Angeles Municipal Code (P AMC) Chapter 17.19 sets forth the
City's requirements for the approval of planned residential developments, and PAMC
Chapter 16.08 sets forth the City's requirements for the approval of subdivisions.
4. The Revised Code of Washington RCW 58.17 contains the State's guidelines for the
uniform division of land within the State of Washington. Section 58.17.110 requires a
city to inquire into the public use and interest proposed to be served by the establishment
of a subdivision. It shall determine if appropriate provisions are made for, but not limited
to, the public health, safety, and general welfare, for open spaces, drainage ways, streets

or roads, alleys, other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes,
parks and recreation, playgrounds, schools and school grounds, and shall consider all
other relevant facts including sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe
walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school and whether the public
interest will be served by the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall not be approved
unless the city can make written findings thatthese provisions are made.
5. The purpose of a planned residential development (PRD) is set forth in Section 17.19.010
as follows:
This Overlay Zone is to provide alternative zoning regulations which permit and
encourage design flexibility, conservation and protection of natural amenities and
critical areas, and innovation in residential developments to those regulations
found in the underlying zone. It is intended that a Planned Residential
Development will result in a residential environment of higher quality than
traditional lot-by-lot development by use of a design process which includes
within the site design all the components of a residential neighborhood, such as
open space, circulation, building types, and natural features, in a manner
consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare.
6. Section 16.08.050 (B)(I)PAMC provides that the Planning Commission shall examine
the proposed plat, along with written recommendations of the City Departments, and
shall either approve or disapprove the submittal. A recommendation thereon shall be
forwarded to the City Council within a period of 90 days after a preliminary plat has been
submitted to the City Planning Department. The City Council shall either approve or
disapprove the proposed preliminary plat at a public meeting.
7. The PRD and Subdivision preliminary plat applications were determined to be complete
on June 6, 2005. The City Council must act on the PRD and preliminary subdivision by
its September 6, 2005, meeting to be within the 120-day time limit set by RCW
58.17.140. The applicant may consent to an extension to the time limit.
8. The proposed 29.84 acre The Reserve at Valley Creek Planned Residential Development
(PRD) and Subdivision site is located at the southwest comer of Ahlvers Road andLaurel
Street. The development provides for subdivision of the subject site into 147 lots
designed for small-lot single family residences, zero lot line duplexes and fourplex row
houses.
9. The site is topographically diverse, with the southwest portion of the site containing the
Valley Creek Ravine with the northern portion sloping gently from south to north, and
resulting in a small depressional wetland adjacent to the northern boundary of the
property.
10. A wetland delineation and preliminary wetland mitigation plan have been received by the
City of Port Angeles. The mitigation plan indicates that the wetland will be increased in
size and the functions and values for stormwater and habitat will be enhanced.
11. The preliminary plat application includes a drawing dated received June 5, 2005,
prepared for the applicant, Development and Construction Group by Zenovic and
Associates, Inc., provided in Attachment B, and used as the basis of the preliminary plat
review. The final plat will be entitled The Reserve at Valley Creek Planned Residential
Development and Subdivision.
12. The site is served by Ahlvers Road and Laurel Street, which do not meet City arterial
street standards south of Viewcrest Street.

Utilities are provided to the site.
The proposal has been reviewed with respect to the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code,
and Subdivision Ordinance. The Comprehensive Plan land use designations for the site is
Low Density Residential (LDR). The approximately 29.84 acre property of the PRD was
zoned as RS-7 Residential Single Family at the time the property was annexed to the City
(ANX 05-02 dated May 31, 2005). Other surrounding properties are zoned RS-9
Residential Single Family (located in the City), LD, or RCC5 (located in the County) and
are developed with low density residential uses or are undeveloped. The Independent
Bible Church is located directly east of the site. .
The proposed planned residential development and subdivision preliminary plat were
reviewed by the City's Fire, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and Economic and
Community Development Departments.
The proposed The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD and Subdivision is in the Fire
Department four minute response area. According to P AMC 18.08.110 - Fire
Suppression Requirements, each multi-family residence within a new subdivision shall be
equipped with a residential sprinkler system that is installed and maintained in
accordance with Uniform Fire Code (UFC) and National Fire Protection Association
(NFP A) standards.
Public notice of the PRD and subdivision application was published in the Peninsula
Daily News on June J 0, 2005, posted on the site on June 10, 2005 and mailed to property
owners within 300 feet of the proposed subdivision on June 7, 2005. The Department of
Community and Economic Development received twenty-five public comment letters,
which are provided in Attachment D.
The subject property is identified as Low Density Residential (LDR) on the Port Angeles
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The following Comprehensive Plan policies are
found to be most relevant to the proposal: Growth Management Element Goal A; Land
Use Element Goal A, Policy A.2, Goal B, Policies B.1, B.2, & BA, B.6 & 7, Goal C,
Policy C.l - 3, Goal I, Objective 1.1; Transportation Element Goal A, Policies A.3 and
A.6; Utilities and Public Services Element Policy D.1; Housing Element Goal A;
Conservation Element Goal A, Policies A.I-A.3, Goal B, Policies B.1-BA, B.16,
Objectives B.3-BA; Capital Facilities Element, Policies A.I0, B.6, C.3.
The Comprehensive Plan requires concurrency for streets, water service, sanitary sewer
service, and electrical service (Capital Facilities Element Policy A.9).
The Comprehensive Plan recommends concurrency for solid waste collection,.stormwater
management, telecommunications service, and emergency services (police, fire and
emergency medical response) (Capital Facilities Element Policy A.tO).
The City's Comprehensive Plan (Land Use Element Goal B) states the intention to have a
community where residential development and use of the land are done in a manner that
is compatible with the environment, the characteristics of the use and the users, and the
desired urban design of the City.
A planned residential development is one of the innovative techniques the City has to
achieve implementation of Open Space and Conservation policies and the desired urban
design of the City.
The proposal meets the minimum site size for a planned residential development.
The subject property in The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD and Subdivision is identified
by the Port Angeles Zoning Map as RS-7 Residential Single Family, which allows a

density of up to 6.22 units per. acre. The revised preliminary plat drawing dated
June 5, 2005, indicates that each lot in the proposed subdivision will be at least
2,000 square feet in size and that the size of most of the single family residential
lots is 6,000 to 7,000 square feet, the duplex lots are between 3,050 square feet
and 5,400 square feet and the row house lots are between 2,000 and 3,500 square
feet.
25. The small lot and PRD housing model designs are priced to be affordable in costs
for new single family homes, providing starter homes for new families and other
first time home buyers. This small lot housing design is still rather unique to the
City and provides another opportunity similar to Highland Estates, a senior
housing development off Golf Course Road and Lauridsen Boulevard.
26. All required utility improvements including potable water, sanitary waste,
electrical, and refuse collection have been provided to the subject site or are
available in the area.
27. The Port Angeles School District currently serves the area, and school capacity is
not an issue with the present trend in declining enrollments.
28. There currently are no designated school walking routes in the vicinity, however
the school district is in. the process of reevaluating the school walking route map
and it is likely that both Laurel Street and Ahlvers Road will be added to the
school walking route map.
29. The site is currently served by the City's Police, Fire, and Public Works
Departments. .
30. Building permits are required for all structures on any approved building lots. All
local Building and Fire Codes apply to any new construction on the subject
property.
31. Clearing and grading permits are required for any initial site development on sites
greater than one acre in size. A Wetland Permit is required prior to the start of the
wetland mitigation work.
32. The City's State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Official issued a
Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS #1108) on July 6, 2005, satisfying the
City's SEP A responsibility.
33. City of Port Angeles Public Works and Utilities Department engineering staff
. determined that the JTE traffic study lacked certain detail that will only be
available after the school year begins in the fall. Until further study is completed,
the City and the developer cannot know the extent of the impacts to local streets
and can therefore not be expected to formulate a detailed agreement to mitigate
those impacts.
34. PAMC 17.19.050(C) requires all PRDs to provide for continuous and perpetual
maintenance of common open space, common recreation facilities, private roads,
utilities, parking areas and other similar development within the boundaries of the
PRD in form and manner acceptable to the City.
35. PAMC 17.19.090(G) requires that an applicant for a PRD submit "Preliminary
elevation and perspective drawings of projects structures" which provide the City
and the neighbors with a degree of surety as to the design, look, and feel of a PRD
where typical lot sizes and setbacks are likely to be reduced.
36. A revised site plan for the PRD shows a total of 4.7 acres of open space that can

be used for recreational purposes.
Conclusions:
A. The conditions of The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD and Subdivision are
consistent with the Zoning Code, required by the Subdivision Ordinance, and
necessary to implement the Comprehensive Plan.
B. As conditioned, all the necessary public improvements will be installed per the
City Urban Services.Standards and Guidelines.
C. As conditioned, the configuration of the proposed subdivision lots and street
layouts conform to the desired urban design of the City for the residential
developments in outlying areas where there is no grid street pattern and low
impact development standards are allowed. The curvilinear streets with a 28 foot
paved surface and no parking along one side of the streets reduce stormwater
runoff and still provide adequate access for each residential lot.
D. As conditioned, the utility services will be provided consistent with the Urban
Services Standards and Guidelines and the Capital Facilities Element of the
Comprehensive Plan level of service standards. Analysis of downstream sanitary
sewer capacity has been provided that indicates no capacity improvements are
needed for the additional 147 units of The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD.
E. Because the City does not have any neighborhood parks or playfields in the
vicinity and the subdivision will have more than 30 new home sites, one or more
of the community areas shown in the planned residential development and
subdivision preliminary plat should be designed as a children's play area.
F. The small lots proposed for The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD and Subdivision
are desired for the following reasons: 1) the provision of attractive and affordable
homes for new families and other first time home buyers, and 2) the lots satisfy
the desired urban design of the City, except for their small size, which fits the
density requirements of the RS-7 zone and the PRD Overlay Zone.
G. This is not the basic urban land use pattern for the City's lower density single
family residential neighborhoods. The density is much more like a multi-family
residential neighborhood due to the concentration of homes outside of the critical
areas. The PRD does provide for a higher density single family development with
surrounding open spaces consistent with the PRD Overlay Zone.
H. The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD and Subdivision provide an alternative
residential development design to the basic single family residential neighborhood
and the basic multi-family residential neighborhood in a manner that is affordable
as starter homes for new families and other first time home buyers. Conditions
are recommended that would satisfy the PRD standards that are not included in
the proposal plans. .
I. As conditioned, The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD and Subdivision preliminary
plat is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code.
J. As conditioned, The Reserve. at Valley Creek PRDand Subdivision preliminary
plat is in conformance with the Port Angeles Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter
16.08 PAMC, and the Washington State Subdivision Act, Chapter 58.17 RCW.
K. As conditioned, appropriate provisions have been made for the public health,
safety and general welfare and for such open spaces, drainage ways, streets or

roads, alleys, other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary
wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds, schools and school grounds, sidewalks
and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who
only walk to and from school. /
I
L. As conditioned, the public interest is served in the preliminary approval of
planned residential development and platting of the subdivision as articulated in
the City's Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and Subdivision, Ordinance. The
subdivision provides for development of new homes within the City of Port
Angeles consistent with the Growth Management Act and beneficial to the City's
tax base.
M. The final drainage plan must be approved by the City Engineer, and the City's
storm water drainage standards will require that the proposed development not
impact downstream properties anymore than pre-development conditions. The
drainage and erosion control plans also are subject to the Department of Ecology
NPDES permit.
N. The P AMC Chapter 17.19 Planned Residential Development Overlay Zone and
'Chapter 16.08 Subdivision Regulations allow for variations from standards
variations in street improvements, blocks, lots, and building line setbacks.
Conditions are recommended where certain proposed variation should not be
approved due to the small lot design, which allows for less on-site variation.
O. A more detailed traffic study that meets the City's expectations will provide a
basis for evaluation and mitigation of traffic impacts.
P. As conditioned, the City will be assured that common space areas located in the
PRD will be provided with adequate maintenance.
Q. As conditioned, the inclusion of specific building design or the use of design
guidelines, the City will be able to control the look and feel of the structures in the
PRD by the strict application of the designs or guidelines at the time building
permits are issued.
R. The revised site plan for the PRD provides adequate area for common usable open
space, half of which is usable for recreation purposes.

.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Kidd and passed 5 - 1, with
Commissioned Kalish voting no. Commissioner Kalish stated that the traffic conditions
are insurmountable regardless of any action the developer may take and that the
developer cannot be required to do all that is necessary to remedy the traffic situation in
the area.
Chair Rasmussen then questioned Commissioner Kalish if other developments in
the area are brought forth, would she then also vote in opposition to those developments.
Commissioner Kalish indicated that if the situation in the area were to change then she
would be able to support further development proposals. She further stated that it would
be incumbent upon the City to come up with a plan that included a time line for street
improvements and unless that happens then the situation will continue to deteriorate.
Chair Rasmussen agreed with Commissioner Kalish's comment but added that he is
optimistic with this recommendation that Council will see the gravity of the situation and
come up with a solution.

PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND PRELIMINARY
SUBDIVISION - The Reserve at Vallev Creek: Southwest comer of Ahlvers
Road/Laurel Street: The proposed development of approximately 30 acres in the RS-7
Residential Single Family zone into 147 residential building sites.
Associate Planner Scott Johns reviewed the Department's report. Commissioner Snyder
noted atthis point that he was familiar with several audience members and is employed in the
flooring industry. Although he believed that he would be able to act fairly onthe proposal, he
wished to reveal the information under the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine. A member of the
audience (Jim Hendricks) called from the audience that he objected to Commissioner Snyder's
review of the proposal because he is involved in the construction industry, and directed
Commissioner Snyder to leave the room. Commissioner Snyder left the room at this point.
Commissioner Wharton revealed that she lives in the area and uses Laurel Street often.
Commissioner Kidd also noted that sheis familiar with several persons in the room. No one
objected to either Commissioner Wharton or Kidd remaining in the room.
Commissioner Kalish posed several questions regarding demographics of the proposed
development, maintenance and use of the site's sensitive areas, housing types, density, off-site
improvements, and traffic issues. She also questioned whether duplexes are considered single
family housing. Director Madsen noted that the City's ordinances allow duplexes to be
developed in single family zones in specific situations.
Planner Johns clarified that the PRD density for the area being used for the development,
not counting the critical areas, is only slightly over the density that would be allowed in the RS-7
zone for a standard subdivision development. The property was recently annexed to the City as
RS-7. The development potential in the County (density) under the proposed PRD is quite a bit
less than what could have been reached under the County's zoning designation. With that in
mind, Commissioner Wharton clarified that if the development proposal was strictly for RS-7
development, building would not be permitted in the critical area and therefore there would be
fewer building sites (density) overall.
In response to a question from Commissioner Matthews, Planner Johns responded that
capital improvement projects have been identified for improvement to Ahlvers and Laurel Streets
in 2006 - 2007, meaning that the streets are scheduled for improvement regardless whether this
development occurs or not. The current developer will be expected to contribute a fair share to
the improvements.
Commissioner Kidd was concerned with public safety issues: traffic and sidewalk
concerns.
Planner Johns acknowledged that staff and the general public are aware that streets in the
area are inadequate to handle a large development and need to be improved. Analysis of the
traffic on Lauridsen Boulevard both during the construction of the Albertson's and Independent
Bible Church projects identified the need to concentrate improvements in the area. The School
District is revising its sidewalk routes and has been a party to improvements in neighborhood
areas in the past. The City expects to see pedestrian and road improvements with or without the
proposed project. With the project, there will be a fair share contribution by the developer as
agreed upon by the developer and the City. That fair share will be determined once a more
comprehensive traffic study is complete in the fall when.school traffic counts can be completed.
The current analysis provided by the developer did not include school traffic counts.

Commissioner Kalish was concerned that the developer's contribution is not defined at
this point. There is no commitment only an expression of good will and willingness to cooperate
which does not amount to agreement. She believed that if the Commission proceeds with
recommending approval of the development, the Planning Commission will then give up any
further role in shaping the future of the development with no assurances that any mitigation
conditions will be paid for by the developer. She continued to express concern about a certain
level of vagueness regarding the process.
Planner Johns noted that at this time, the procedure is to review the proposal and forward
either recommendation of approval as written, approval with additional or revised conditions, or
denial to the City Council. Ifapproved, the developer must meet the conditions or final approval
will not be given. It is not likely that a developer would pursue a development such as this
without expecting to fully meet the conditions of approval.
Chair Rasmussen questioned whether the infrastructure in the area is adequate to support
the proposed development. Planner Johns noted that, in their review, the Public Works and
Utilities Department did not indicate that the infrastructure is inadequate for the proposal. Mr.
Johns then reviewed how stormwater in the area is to be handled. Drainage ponds will capture
water from surrounding areas, which will meter into the existing drainage going into Valley
Creek. An additional outfall will meter water to Valley Creek and an underground gallery will
be augmented to support additional runoff. The developer will be required, as is conditioned, to
have a stormwater plan that meets National Pollution Discharge Elimination System and the
City's guidelines. Because this is still in the conceptual stage, the developer does not need to
agree to the specifics of every pipe size but will be required to develop to the accepted standards.
Commissioner Kalish was concerned that development of the subject site would cause an
increase in vagrancy, litter, and non desirable activities in the Creek area. Mr. Johns noted that a
site visit indicated that many nondesirable activities have been occurring in the wooded,
undeveloped area at the present time and development of the area will bring many more eyes on
the area than are there now which may deter undesirable activities.
Commissioner Kidd noted that the City's Police Department commented that the current
number of Police officers does not allow the Department to control traffic in the manner that they
would like. She again noted that public safety issues are of a main concern.
Commissioner Wharton was concerned about traffic mitigation and also questioned how
the existing wetland and environmentally sensitive area would be adequately protected.
Condition Number 5 is designed to require the protection of the environmental functions and
values of the sensitive areas buffer but she wasn't sure what the impact of 147 houses would be
or how the condition could be adequately enforced. She questioned how accessible the ravine
would be for recreational use.
Planner, Johns noted that the City's environmentally sensitive areas ordinance requires
that signage be placed educating the public on use of these areas. It would be a minor issue to
include more fencing than what is required in the City's ordinances if it is determined that such
is needed. The.applicants will be required to obtain a Wetland Permit and Environmentally
Sensitive Areas Permit as part of the development and these permit procedures would typically
include conditions that will ensure protection and access determinations.
In response to Commissioner Kalish, Mr. Johns responded that he does not know if
woodstoves or fireplaces are intended. This is not an issue that the City has control over in a
land development review. He did not believe that the developer intends to provide wood heat for

the structures. Commissioner Kalish asked if air quality had been considered. Director Madsen
pointed out that this is something we don't have jurisdiction over.
Chair Rasmussen noted that the Parks and Recreation Division did not participate in this
large of a development. The Division has stated that they would like to see a 2 acre area for each
major neighborhood for parks but they made no statement in this review. Planner Johns noted
that there is a 6-year time line for concurrency with parks developments. Chair Rasmussen then
opened the public hearing.
Tom Armstrong, Development and Construction Group, 12501 Bel';'RedRd., Bellevue,
W A thanked everyone present for their comments and consideration ofthis proposal. In meeting
with neighbors several months ago, the proposal was much more basic and in the meantime he
has tried to address the concerns expressed. The three primary concerns were: density of the site,
wetlands, and traffic. The current proposal addresses these concerns which continue to be
refined and will be revised further if necessary upon completion of a final traffic study in the fall.
He noted that he wouldn't be proposing the product if it hadn't been decided that this product is
needed and will succeed in the area. The development will provide a middle priced, well
planned.out and executed development. What is currently being offered is higher end
development. He proposed that a $175,000 to $225,000 price range is currently unavailable in
the current market and is what is being designed for with this project. He addressed the issues as
stated in the letters from thel public that had been received. The proposed development will
significantly contribute to the entire community. The basic concept behind the higher density is
I
to allow for residential options. As many trees as are possible to replace will be replanted
following the construction process along with landscaped recreational areas that do not now
exist. Special emphasis will be placed on pedestrian and traffic safety; He then displayed the
various housing types proposed within the PRD. His intent is to construct the four plex units as
he has significant experience in such construction and it is important that the units retain a
certain standard.
Mr. Armstrong responded to questions regarding the number of traffic trips and
maintenance of common areas. He is not planning a homeowner's association.
At this point Commissioner Snyder re-entered the room to collect his papers in order to
leave the building. Director Madsen asked him ifhe had ever met or had dealings with Mr.
Armstrong or his associates. Commissioner Snyder responded in the negative. Director Madsen
noted for the record and the audience that Commissioner Snyder was graciously leaving the
proceedings without identifying any true appearance of fairness or conflict of interest issues but
because he had been asked to do so by a member of the audience.
Mr. Armstrong continued by stating that hard data will be acquired as to the traffic
impacts and stormwater issues that have been brought up and which have been preliminarily
addressed by his engineer. All facilities will meet all required and acceptable standards but an
additional traffic study, which provides quantifiable data cannot be completed until school
resumes in the fall
Commissioner Wharton suggested that more care be given to the range of ages in the
proposed recreational amenities. The proposal at present only addresses small children. Traffic
calming measures were discussed. She appreciated the care given to the planning process and
realized that, because the project is within the City limits, urban rather than rural densities must
be planned for. Mr. Armstrong responded that it makes sense to use local contractors and
suppliers and that he will reevaluate recreational areas to serve a more diverse age group.
Commissioner Kalish remained skeptical regarding the targeted demographics and home
49

Mr. Armstrong responded to Commissioner Matthews that he did not believe
residences would be purchased for the rental market based on their value.
Steve Zenovic, 519 South Peabody, Port Angeles, noted that in annexing the
property the City Council specifically designated the site for RS-7. rather than RS-9
development which increased the potential density in the residential area. In doing so the
Council appears to be identifying that more dense development is needed in the City. He
explained the state law mandates regarding storm water discharge and that site
development will be in accord with all required development standards. The wetland will
be kept viable. He reiterated the stormwater plan previously identified by Mr. Johns and
explained that the stormwater has not been fine tuned because approval has not been
given and any developeris reluctant to incur large engineering costs without at least
preliminary approval of a plan. Traffic issues are close to being finalized. In response to
Commissioner Kalish as to the biggest engineering hurdle, Mr. Zenovic stated that
stormwater issues are the major concern. Traffic can be worked out as well. It was noted
that the dedication of a 30' strip of property along the most north side of the site will be to
the benefit of the abutting property owners (Rix) to. allow continued access to their
property in the manner in which they have become accustomed.
Fred Rix, 139 W.1hlvers Road, Port Angeles, submitted a lengthy letter from
Chris Melly, 3503 Galaxy Place, in opposition to the development. [Mr. Melly's letter
stated that the applicant should resubmit a traffic study and should further review air
pollution].
Mr. Rix then submitted and read a letter of opposition into the record stating that .
the proposed development is not in compliance with the general standards for planned
residential developments as outlined in the City's Zoning Ordinance, nor is it in
compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. He believed that
an environmental impact statement would answer the many unanswered questions that
the neighborhood has in regard to the proposed development. The magnitude of the
environmental impacts has not been fully reviewed.
Susan Hayden, 3003 Oakcrest Loop, Port Angeles, was concerned with traffic
and flooding issues. She stated that she had personally been involved in a major traffic
accident at the intersection of Park and Laurel, which is a horrible intersection. It is
imperative that this intersection be a major focus of traffic improvement with or without
the proposed development. Additionally, the intersection of Laurel Street and Lauridsen
Boulevard floods each year which makes it difficult for vehicles to pass through the
intersection, particularly those of a low design such as hers, during flood events. She
objected to the testimony that higher density development is needed to provide more
affordable housing and questioned whether low impact street design in higher density
areas will be capable of dealing with parking issues since low impact standards restricts
on-street parking. Ms. Hayden knows everyone in her neighborhood and was concerned
that the character of the surrounding neighborhoods will negatively change as, given the
potential density of a subdivision on the site, people will no longer know their neighbors.
She respectively requested that the PRD as proposed be denied until more information is
provided.
Andy Meyer, 209 Forest Avenue, Port Angeles, spoke regarding traffic concerns .
and believed that an additional environmental impact statement or a mitigated

determination of non significance would be more appropriate than the determination of
non significance issued by the City. A PRD is designed to provide flexibility in a
development and is an opportunity to come up with unique and innovative development
techniques. Because the details are not buttoned down, the proposal does not reach this
goal. To the degree that a PRD requires residential development of a high quality design
related to the surrounding areas, the lack of control of design issues at this point is
missing. He encouraged the Planning Commission to look carefully at this type of thing.
The intersection of Park and Laurel Street is very dangerous at present. He expressed
concern that the traffic issues already present will be further exacerbated by a
development of this size in the area.
Bruce Moorhead, 4124 Old Mill Road, Port Angeles, spoke as a retired wildlife
biologist regarding the impact of such a development on wildlife and regarding the
wildlife on such a development. Such sites often turn into bait traps for wildlife that
frequent the ravine corridors. He would be happy to work with staff on better deterrent
measures.
Elena Haggerty, 2905 South Laurel St,:eet,Port Angeles, is not against
development but would like more information on traffic issues for Laurel, Peabody, and
Ahlvers Streets. If open areas are fenced off to recreational use, they then lose their value
as open space areas. She questioned stormwater containment. The project is too vague at
this point.
Alan Whetstein, 337 Ahlvers,Port Angeles, was seriously concerned about the
safety of pedestrians on Ahlvers Road. There are no sidewalks and current conditions are
very dangerous.
Randy Steinman, 3405 South Laurel, Port Angeles, was concerned that 2/3 of
the potential property purchasers will be from out of town and many of the sites will be
rentals. This is not a good area for renters.
Dan Morrison, 408 E. Scribner Rd, Port Angeles, was not opposed to a
subdivision but is opposed to the proposed density of the PRD and was concerned that
without a homeowner's association, continuity of color and design will be an issue.
Frank Ducceschi, 531 E. Ahlvers, Port Angeles, noted that although the
proposed development will certainly impact Laurel Street, Peabody Street will also be
impacted. He asked that the intersection of Park and Peabody also be studied as a result
of the" development.
John Kaufmann, 2251 Wellman, Port Angeles, WA lives in the County west of
Valley Creek. He asked that additional conditions be instituted to control activities in
Valley Creek and to protect the creek.
Mike Haggerty, 2905 South Laurel Street, Port Angeles, has heard benefits but
no talk of costs. He asked that a decision be postponed until information can be further
evaluated.
There being no further testimony, Chair Rasmussen closed the public hearing.
Director Madsen noted that this proposal is a work in progress and a lot of
information has been presented which needs to be evaluated prior to further discussion.
The development as proposed is being submitted at a lower density than if it had been
developed in the County. With that in mind, this is a preliminary approval and the
Planning Commission can, in its review, approve as is recommended, approve with
additional conditions to further address specific issues, or recommend denial. The report

as presented has been a work in progress. Staffhas been working closely with the .
developer to address pertinent issues and will continue to do so. Enough significant issues
have been raised to warrant additional review of certain items. The developers' approach
is not dissimilar to that of others who have proposed such a development. Minimum
standards of the ordinance have been met. Staff would like time to consolidate testimony
notes and provide additional information for the Commissioners' review.
Chair Rasmussen suggested that a special meeting be set to further discuss the
issue. Commissioner Matthews moved to continue discussion to a special meeting on
August 3, 6 p.m., City Hall, to allow staff time to address the issues discussed. The
motion was seconded by Commissioner Kalish and passed 7 - o.

LOCATION:
PROPOSAL:
Amended Staff Report The Reserve at Valley Creek Planned Residential
Development and Subdivision Preliminary Plat
Development and Construction Group, Inc.
Francis M. Andrews, Mary O. Brist, and Nancy Hagin
Southwest comer of Ahlvers and Laurel Streets
Development of a 34.5 acre site in the RS-7 Residential Single Family Zone
into 140 residential lots and several common usable open space areas. The
project will include a mix of housing types including single family
residences, duplexes, and zero lot line row houses.
The following amended staff analysis is the result of testimony presented at the July 13,
2005, public hearing before the Port Angeles Planning Commission. Several specific issues were
identified at that time. Developer modifications to the project have been reviewed by staff.
The Department of Community and Economic Development continues to recommend that
the Planning Commission recommend preliminary approval of the Reserve at Valley Creek
Planned Residential Development and Subdivision preliminary plat with the revised 21 .
conditions, 35 findings, and 18 conclusions (see Attachment A).
Transportation Issues
The project is anticipated to create up to 140 dwelling units. The potential number of
residents from a development of this scale will have impacts to traffic on the local street system.
There is general consensus that at minimum improvements to Laurel St. and possible improvements
to Ahlvers Rd. will be required. The extent of those impacts and improvements have not been fully
defined at this time. The applicant has agreed to a further study of traffic impacts at the
Laurel/Lauridsen intersection that will include AM peak hour counts
during the school year.
The current traffic study estimates that the development's potential traffic impact will be
divided such that 80% of the traffic would use Laurel S1. and 20% would use Ahlvers Rd. The
Public Works and Utilities Department is revising estimates of required work and the costs of
improvements to Laurel St., Ahlvers Rd., and the Laurel/Lauridsen intersection. A revised
condition requiring that the developer and the CS:fhall reach agreement on the required street and

intersection improvements and the monetary contribution that the developer will make to those .
improvements prior to the PRD final approval is provided in attachment A.
Drainage Issues
Prior to preliminary approval of subdivisions, drainage plans are required, including
topography, existing drainage patterns, and estimated amount of impervious surfaces that will result
from the development. Once preliminary approval is obtained for a subdivision, the developer will
then employ an engineer to finalize drainage plans. State and local stormwater regulations are very
specific in that stormwater leaving a development site shall not exceed the flow rate or volume
higher than that which would leave the site under undisturbed, forested conditions. The quality of
the stormwater leaving a site is also regulated.
Requiring a detailed drainage plan at this point in the process is premature since exact
figures of the amount of impervious surface expected for roads, sidewalks, buildings, or driveways
is not available. It is known that currently the drainage pattern is that storm and ground water from
surrounding properties drains to and across the subject site. The water from this site all drains to the
Valley Creek ravine. No stormwater from this site contributes to seasonal flooding that occurs at
the Laurel/Lauridsen intersection, and the proposed development will not contribute storm water to
that location.
Recreation Area
The City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan establishes the level of service for parks in
the City. That level is a City-wide level of service rather than a neighborhood or district level of
service. Currently the level of service is 9 acres of park land for each 1,000 residents. The City's .
Park 'and Recreation Draft Comprehensive Plan states that currently the City has 17.3 acres of parks,
open space and public grounds for each 1,000 residents. The Parks plan also recognizes the partial
contribution of school properties to provide recreational opportunities. The Port Angeles High
School is less than a mile from the site and would provide some additional recreational opportunity.
Staff has also had contact - with the Independent Bible Church with regard to access to the
recreational area being developed adjacent to the subject site. The church is not opposed to
allowing residents of the development access to their field as long as the church is not held liable
for possible injuries sustained during use of the site. Thus a substantial amount of recreational
opportunity exists in the area meeting PRD requirement for common usable open space.
A revision to the proposed PRD shows the primary access road being shifted' to the south
approximately 120 feet. This results in a smaller portion of the large wetland being impacted, a
larger wetland/common usable open space area, and a reduction in density by six lots. The reduced
wetland impacts and increased mitigation area results in a decrease in the amount of wetland that
will need to be mitigated and therefore, more area added to the common usable open space.
Currently the plan shows 3 play areas totaling 14,370 square feet, the enhanced habitat area of
Valley Creek ravine being 52,272 square feet, and an increase in the wetland mitigation area of
36,100 square feet. The result is an area of 4.7 acres of common usable open space. The
requirement for common usable open space, half of which is devoted to recreational purposes is
15% (half of30% common usable open space) will be met as a result of this plan alteration.
Density
PAMe 1719.060 specifically states that "Every Planned Residential Development shall be
allowed the density of the underlying zone or zones in which the site is located". Density .
calculations for this project are based on 29.84 acres, which is the area of the site that was annexed
into the city. The entire area is zoned RS-7 even though a portion of the site is located in the Valley
Creek ravine. No part of the site was zoned PpS4PAMC 17.19.020 Applicability does state that
The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD Amended Staff Report
August 3, 200S
Page 3
.
"Planned Residential Developments may be established.....in all districts which allow residential
uses and may include land which is zoned P BP ". The proposed density is below the allowed
density for the zone based on the total land area.
Wildlife in V alley Creek ravine
During the public hearing, Mr. Bill Moorhead, who is a wildlife biologist indicated that in
his experience the ravine is used by a variety of animals. Some of these animals are large and may
pose a threat to residents and pets in the PRD. This is a common occurrence as urban areas expand
toward undeveloped areas. A new condition is being proposed to provide a more effective barrier at
the top of the ravine in an attempt to discourage animals from entering the residential area as well as
to limit resident's access to the ravine.
.
Control of building design and dispute resolution
Control of building design, possible disputes between home owners, and maintenance of
common areas were brought up as issues of concern. The inability of the City to control design
aspects of the development, especially in light of the developer's comments that he would develop
the zero lot line four-plexes and possibly some of the duplex and single family residences as models
while selling the remainder of the lots so that individual buyers would build homes on the lots, is a
major citizen concern. The use of zero lot line structures, where adjacent home owners may come
into conflict with each other over paint or roof color, was also an expressed concern. The
responsibility of maintenance for the common areas, open space critical areas, and other facilities
not dedicated to the City was an issue raised at the public hearing. These issues can all be
addressed through the use of a homeowners association, CC&Rs, or some other mechanism. A new
condition has been included requiring that the developer submit for city approval an example of
such a mechanism, along with developer building architectural design guidelines.
Noise and air pollution
PAMC 15.16 adopts WAC 173.60.040 specifying Maximum Permissible Environmental
Noise Levels, which allows up to 55 dBA for a residential receiving zone. There is no evidence nor
reason to believe that this development will produce noise levels that are different than other
subdivisions or will be above the State threshold.
The issue of air pollution from wood stoves located in an area where localized weather
conditions intensify impacts from wood stoves was brought up in written comments and at the
public hearing. The use of wood stoves is not an issue that the City can control. Air pollution is'
monitored and violations enforced by the Olympic Region Clean Air Agency (ORCAA). ORCAA
can regulate wood stove use during periods of prolonged air stagnation and/or temperature
inversion. All solid fuel stoves installed in residences in Port Angeles must meet specific
certification standards for safety and emissions.
Air pollution is not an issue that the City of Port Angeles can regulate at the time of
subdivision.
.
The development is atypical for the zone and vicinity
The City of Port AI}.geles has only processed three Planned Residential Developments since
the PRD overlay zone was created. Only one of the PRDs hasbeen completed to this point. This
makes the Reserve at Valley Creek development unlike previous development located in the City
only because the process has not been .wellused city-wide.
Furthermore, the subject site was annexed to the City and zoned RS-7 at that time. As no
other RS- 7 zoning exists in the area, the RS- 7 z055 is atypical for the specific area.
I
The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD Amended Staff Report
August 3, 2005
Page 4
It is difficult to establish what could be considered 'typical' for the area. Properties directly .
adjacent to the subject site include small noncommercial farms of more than one acre-in size and a
large church. Directly east of the church are small subdivisions (Galaxy Place, Hawthorn Place,
and Crabapple Court) where some building lots are less than the minimum 9,000 square feet. To
the northeast of the subject site are a mix of parcels ranging to over an acre in size, some of which
are developed with single family homes and some undeveloped. It is not possible to predict how
those properties will develop in the future. The Mill Creek Court subdivision is primarily
developed with manufactured homes on lots in the 9,000 square foot range. Several parcels exist in
the area that are well over an acre in size.
This development is atypical for the area from the perspective that the surrounding areas are
generally zoned RS-9 not RS-7. The development is not located near the center of the City but on
the outskirts. The interior street system is more typical of nearby developments, some of which
have curvilinear streets (i.e., Hawthorn PI., Crabapple PI., Park Knoll, Canyon Edge, Galaxy Place)
and no alleys. The proposed street design of the development is similar to the surrounding
developments that have curvilinear street patterns.
The differences that set this development apart from surrounding development are. smaller
yards and common lot line housing types being proposed. The proposed development is not a type
of development available in any location in the City at this time. New housing opportunities have
recently been limited to larger homes on larger lots while the demographics of home ownership is
changing to smaller families, empty-nesters, and retirees who may be seeking alternative residential
options. This development will provide Port Angeles with housing options that do not exist at this
time.

complete on June 6, 2005. The revised preliminary plat drawing for The Reserve at Valley
Creek shows a 140 lot subdivision proposal. All of the lots access from the intersection of
Laurel Street and Ahlvers Road.
The preliminary plat would subdivide the approximately 29.84 acres of land into 140
residential building lots, ranging from 2,000 to 11,900 square feet (see Attachment C for the
preliminary plat). While the proposed subdivision does not conform to all preliminary plat
requirements, smaller lot size and private street access are permissible through City approval
of a site specific planned residential development per P AMC Chapter 17.19.
The small lots though permissible in a planned residential development are subject to overall
density limitation. The overall density of The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD is 4.92
units/acre. Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) Chapter 17.19 sets forth the City's
requirements for the approval of planned residential developments, and P AMC Chapter
16.08 sets forth the City's requirements for the approval of subdivisions.
The Revised Code of Washington RCW 58.17 contains the State's guidelines for the
uniform division ofland within the State of Washington. Section 58.17.110 requires a city
to inquire into the public use and interest proposed to be served by the establishment of a
subdivision. It shall determine if appropriate provisions are made for, but not limited to, the
public health, safety, and general welfare, for open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads,
alleys, other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and
recreation, playgrounds, schools and school grounds, and shall consider all other relevant
facts including sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for
students who only walk to and from school and whether the public interest will be served by
the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall not be approved unless the city can make
written findings that these provisions are made.
The purpose of a planned residential development (PRD) is set forth in Section 17.19.010 as
follows:
This Overlay Zone is to provide alternative zoning regulations which permit and
encourage design flexibility, conservation and protection of natural amenities and
critical areas, and innovation in residential developments to those regulations found
in the underlying zone. It is intended that a Planned Residential Development will
result in a residential environment of higher quality than traaitional lot-by-lot
development by use of a design process which includes within the site design all the
components ofa residential neighborhood, such as open space, circulation, building
types, and natural features, in a manner consistent with the public health, safety, and
~~ .
Section 16.08.050(B)(1) PAMCprovides that the Planning Commission shall examine the
proposed plat, along with written recommendations of the City Departments, and shall either
approve or disapprove the submittal. A recommendation thereon shall be forwarded to the
City Council within a period of 90 days after a preliminary plat has been submitted to the
City Planning Department. The City Council shall either approve or disapprove the proposed
preliminary plat at a public meeting.
The PRD and Subdivision preliminary plat applications were determined to be complete on
June 6, 2005. The City Council must act on the PRD and preliminary subdivision by its
September 6, 2005, meeting to be within the 90-day time limit set by RCW 58.17.140. The
applicant may consent to a 21-day extension to the 90-day time limit.
The proposed 29.84 acre The Reserve at Valley Creek Planned Residential Development
(PRD) and Subdivision site is located at the southwest comer of Ahlvers Road and Laurel

Street. The development provides for subdivision of the subject site into 140 lots designed
for small-lot single family residences, zero lot line duplexes and fourplexrow houses.
The site is topographically diverse, with the southwest portion of the site containing the
Valley Creek Ravine with the northern portion sloping gently from south to north, and
resulting in a small depressional wetland adjacent to the northern boundary of the property.
A wetland delineation and preliminary wetland mitigation plan have been received by the
City of Port Angeles. The mitigation plan indicates that the wetland will be increased in size
and the functions and values for stormwater and habitat will be enhanced.
The preliminary plat application includes a drawing dated received June 5, 2005, prepared
for the applicant, Development and Construction Group by Zenovic and Associates, Inc.,
provided in Attachment B, and used as the basis of the preliminary plat review. The final
plat will be entitled The Reserve at Valley Creek Planned Residential Development and
Subdivision.
The site is served by Ahlvers Road and Laurel Street, which do not meet City arterial street
standards south of View crest.
Utilities are provided to the site.
The proposal has been reviewed with respect to the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and
Subdivision Ordinance. The Comprehensive Plan land use designations for the site is Low .
Density Residential (LDR). The approximately 29.84 acre property of the PRD was zoned
as RS-7 Residential Single Family at the time the property was annexed to the City (ANX
05-02 dated May 31, 2005). Other surrounding properties are zoned RS-9 Residential
Single Family (located in the City), LD, or RCC5 (located in the County) and are developed
with low density residential uses or are undeveloped. The Independent Bible Church is
located directly east of the site.
The proposed planned residential development and subdivision preliminary plat were
reviewed by the City's Fire, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and Economic and
Community Development Departments.
The proposed The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD and Subdivision is in the Fire Department
four minute response area. According to P AMC 18.08.110 - Fire Suppression
Requirements, each multi-family residence within a new subdivision shall be equipped with
a residential sprinkler system that is installed and maintained in accordance with Uniform
Fire Code (UFC) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards.
Public notice of the PRD and subdivision application was published in the Peninsula Daily
News on June 10, 2005, posted on the site on June 10, 2005 and mailed to property owners
within 300 feet of the proposed subdivision on June 7, 2005. The Department of
Community and Economic Development received twenty-five public comment letters,
which are provided in Attachment D.
The subject property is identified as Low Density Residential (LDR) on the Port Angeles
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The following Comprehensive Plan policies are found
to be most relevant to the proposal: Growth Management Element Goal A; Land Use
Element Goal A, Policy A.2, Goal B, Policies 8.1, 8.2, & B.4, B.6 & 7, Goal C, PolicyC.l ..
3, Goal I, Objective 1.1; Transportation Element Goal A, Policies A.3 and A.6; Utilities and

A, Policies A.I-A.3, Goal B, Policies B.1-B.4, B.16, ObjectivesB.3-B.4; Capital Facilities
Element, Policies A.I0, B.6, C.3.
The Comprehensive Plan requires concurrency for streets, water service, sanitary sewer
service, and electrical service (Capital Facilities Element Policy A.9).

The Comprehensive Plan recommends concurrency for solid waste collection, stormwater
management, telecommunications service, and emergency services (police, fire and
emergency medical response) (Capital Facilities Element Policy A.I0).
The City's Comprehensive Plan (Land Use Element Goal B) states the intention to have a
community where residential development and use of the land are done in a manner that is
compatible with the environment, the characteristics of the use and the users, and the desired
urban design of the City.
A planned residential development is one of the innovative techniques the City has to
achieve implementation of Open Space and Conservation policies and the desired urban
design of the City.
The proposal meets the minimum site size for a planned residential development.
The subject property in The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD and Subdivision is identified by
the Port Angeles Zoning Map as RS-7 Residential Single Family, which allows a density of
up to 6.22 units per acre. The revised preliminary plat drawing dated June 5, 2005, indicates
that each lot in the proposed subdivision will be at least 2,000 square feet in size and that the
size of most of the single family residential lots is 6,000 to 7,000 square feet, the duplex lots
are between 3,050 square feet and 5,400 square feet and the row house lots are between
2,000 and 3,500 square feet.
The small lot and PRD housing model designs are priced to be affordable in costs for new
single family homes, providing starter homes for new families and other first time home
buyers. This small lot housing design is still rather unique to the City and provides another
opportunity 'similar to Highland Estates, a senior housing development off Golf Course Road
and Lauridsen Boulevard.
All required utility improvements including potable water, sanitary waste, electrical, and
refuse collection have been provided to the subject site or are available in the area.
The Port Angeles School District currently serves the area, and school capacity is not an
issue with the present trend in declining enrollments.
There currently are no designated school walking routes in the vicinity, however the school
district is in the process of reevaluating the school walking route map and it is likely that
both Laurel Street and Ahlvers Road will be added to the school walking route map.
The site is currently served by the City's Police, Fire, and Public Works Departments.
Building permits are required for all structures on any approved building lots. All local
Building and Fire Codes apply to any new construction on the subject property.
Clearing and grading permits are required for any initial site development on sites greater
than one acre in size. A Wetland Permit is required prior to the start of the wetland
mitigation work.
The City's State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Official issued a Determination of
Nonsignificance (DNS # 1108) on July 6, 2005, satisfying the City's SEP A responsibility.
City of Port Angeles Public Works and Utilities Department engineering staff determined
that the JTE traffic study lacked certain detail that will only be available after the school
year begins in the fall. Until further studyis completed. the City and the developer cannot
know the extent of the impacts to local streets and can therefore not be expected to
formulate a detailed agreement to mitigate those impacts.
P AMC 17.19.050CC) requires all PRDs to provide for continuous and perpetual maintenance
of common open space. common recreation facilities. private roads. utilities. parking areas
and other similar development within the boundaries of the PRD in form and manner
acceptable to the City.

35. PAMC 17.19.090(G) requires that an applicant for a PRD submit "Preliminary elevation and .
perspective drawings of proiects structures" which provide the City and the neighbors with a
degree of surety as to the design, look, and feel of a PRD where typical lot sizes and
setbacks are likelv to be reduced.
36. Testimony from a retired Biologist was presented at the July 13,2005, public hearing stating
that the Valley Creek ravine is a wildlife corridor used by resident native animals. Some of
the reported animals (bear, cougar, coyote) may pose a threat to life or property' for the
residents of the PRD/subdivision.
37. A revised site plan for the PRD shows a total of 4.7 acres of open space that can be used for ~
recreational purposes.
Conclusions:
A. The conditions of The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD and Subdivision are consistent with the
Zoning Code, required by the Subdivision Ordinance, and necessary to implement the
Comprehensive Plan.
B. As conditioned, all the necessary public improvements will be installed per the City Urban
Services Standards and Guidelines.
C. As conditioned, the configuration of the proposed subdivision lots and street layouts
conform to the desired urban design of the City for the residential developments in outlying
areas where there is no grid street pattern and low impact development standards are
allowed. The curvilinear streets with a 28 foot paved surface and no parking along one side
of the streets reduce stormwater runoff and still provide adequate access for each residential .
lot.
D. As conditioned, the utility services will be provided consistent with the Urban Services
Standards and Guidelines and the Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan
level of service standards. Analysis of downstream sanitary sewer capacity has been
provided that indicates no capacity improvements are needed for the additional 140 units of
The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD.
E. Because the City does not have any neighborhood parks or playfields in the vicinity and the
subdivision will have more than 30 new home sites, one or more of the community areas
shown in the planned residential development and subdivision preliminary plat should be
designed as a children's play area.
F. The small lots proposed for The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD and Subdivision are desired
for the following reasons: 1) the provision of attractive and affordable homes for new
families and other first time home buyers, and 2) the lots satisfy the desired urban design of
the City, except for their small size, which fits the density requirements of the RS-7 zone
and the PRD Overlay Zone.
G. This is not the basic, urban land use pattern for the City's lower density single family
residential neighborhoods. The density is much more like a multi-family residential
neighborhood due to the concentration of homes outside of the critical areas. The PRD does
provide for a higher density single family development with surrounding open spaces
consistent with the PRD Overlay Zone.
H. The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD and Subdivision provide an alternative residential
development design to the basic single family residential neighborhood and the basic multi- .
family residential neighborhood in a manner that is affordable as starter homes for new
families and other first time home buyers. Conditions are recommended that would satisfy
the PRD standards that are not included in the proposal plans.

As conditioned, The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD and Subdivision preliminary plat is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code.
As conditioned, The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD and Subdivision preliminary plat is in
conformance with the Port Angeles Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter16.08 PAMC, and the
Washington State Subdivision Act, Chapter 58.17 RCW.
As conditioned, appropriate provisions have been made for the public health, safety and
general welfare and for such open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, other
public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation,
playgrounds, schools and school grounds, sidewalks and other planning features that assure
safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school.
As conditioned, the public interest is served in the preliminary approval of planned
residential development and platting of the subdivision as articulated in the City's
Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and Subdivision, Ordinance. The subdivision provides
for development of new homes within the City of Port Angeles consistent with the Growth
Management Act and beneficial to the City's tax base.
The final drainage plan must be approved by the City Engineer, and the City's stormwater
drainage standards will require that the proposed development not impact downstream
properties anymore than pre-development conditions. The drainage and erosion control
plans also are subject to the Department of Ecology NPDES permit.
The P AMC Chapter 17.19 Planned Residential Development Overlay Zone and Chapter
16.08 Subdivision Regulations allow for variations from standards variations in street
improvements, blocks, lots, and building line setbacks. Conditions are recommended where
certain proposed variation should not be approved due to the small lot design, which allows
for less on-site variation. .\
A more detailed traffic study that meets the City's expectations will provide a basis for
evaluation and mitigation of traffic impacts.
As conditioned. the City will be assured that common space areas located in the PRD will be
provided with adequate maintenance.
As conditioned. the inclusion of specific building design or the use of design guidelines. the
City will. be able to control the look and feel of the structures in the PRO by the strict
application of the designs or guidelines at the time building permits are issued.
As conditioned. a physical barrier located at the top of the ravine will provide adequate
protection for the residents of the PRDlsubdivision from potential impacts posed bv wildlife
inhabiting the Vallev Creek ravine.
The revised site plan for the PRD provides adequate area for common usable open space.
half of which is usable for recreation purposes.

OPEN SPACE
We believe that the revised preliminary plan submitted, meets the requirements
of the ordinance, as to the open space required.
Complete plans will be submitted, to the city, for their approval, prior to the
enhancement of the habitat area, tot-lots, or that area adjacent to the wetlands,
which qualifies to be improved. (lawn, shrubs, paths, fences, benches etc.)
We realize that while no credit can be given us for the "sports fields" presently
being constructed by mc Church, we have checked with Mr. Chuck Brown of
the church and he informs us that no gate or fence, of any kind is planned
around the field. Common sense tells us that, such a field being in the
neighborhood, kids who want to toss around a football, baseball, frisbee etc.,
will use that area. Result..... . there will be a sports field in the neighborhood.
While there can be no formal reciprocal agreement, Mr. Brown and I have
discussed a neighborly agreement where-by the church might make use of the
"habitat area," for classes in botany, environmental-studies, etc., when their
school opens.

MICRO CLIMATE
We have met with Rita Cirulis, Air Quality Specialist 11, of the Port
Angeles office of the, Olympic Region Clean Air Agency, located at 116
West 8th, Suite 113.
Our inquiry was directed to the question of any special mapping of air
quality problems in the Area of the "Reserve". She stated that no such
mapping exists, and further that the regional monitoring station is located
Stevens Middle School, in P A.
She has personally visited the property in question, but has no opinion
as to special any conditions in the area.
She further stated that in the state of Washington, she knows of no
restrictions, other than permitting and the use of approved equipment that
would restrict the installation of such devices.
Be it known to the Council that for cost control reasons and speed of
installation, that as to the buildings constructed by Dev. & Cons't. Group,
Inc., our preferred installation will be gas fired frreplaces. Only the special
request of a custom home buyer, at a large extra expense, result in the
installation of a wood burning fireplace, or other wood burning device.

ARCHITECHURAL CONTROL COMMITTEE
We will establish a multi-person Architectural Control Committee. This
review process will assure that any proposed construction, will be consistent
with written, design standards. These standards will be made available to
everyone wishing to purchase a lot, or any spec. or custom home builder
interested in this community.
At this time, the "craftsman" style seems to be the most desired product
requested by new home buyers. This could well change by the time the last
homes are built in this community. Therefore, the design standards need to
very carefully crafted. Again... .design standards will apply to any and all
construction within the plat.
We admit that these standards have not yet been finalized, but we can give
you some "Bullet Point examples" that may be included.
}
1. Where practical... .make a maximum effort to preserve maturing trees.
2. Any and all construction must be placed within the envelope drawing on file with the city.
Said envelope drawing specifies all side yard setbacks to be five feet.
3. Minimum square footage for the first floor footprint is to be 1,100 sq. ft.
4. Exterior siding to be either horizontal or vertical, hardi-p1ank, wood siding, or old fashioned
stucco. (no stucco wash over insulation )). Feature areas of the building... such as gables,
etc., shakes or other specialty products may be approved.
5. Exterior trim to be consistent with craftsman or traditional style home. i.e. comer boards,
facia boards, posts, porch supports and bases etc.
6. Roof structures... .A roof pitch of 4/12 or more is required. No Flat or shed roofs will be
approved.
7. Roof coverings... .. . 20 year or more asphalt shingles, wood shakes or shingles, ( if the city
does not restrict same), Monray type concrete or other approved tile materials.
8. Footing drains and downspout drains must be connected to either the storm sewer, OR
rain gardens, if available and topography permits.
9. No extreme exterior colors permitted. More details will be given in the final draft of design
standards.

LOCATION:
PROPOSAL:
Planned Residential Development and Subdivision Preliminary Plat - The
Reserve at Valley Creek
Development and Construction Group, Inc.
Francis M. Andrews, Mary O. Brist and Nancy Hagin
Southwest comer of Ahlvers and Laurel Streets
Development of a 34.5 acre site in the RS-7 Residential Single Family
Zone into 147 residential lots and several common usable open space
areas. The project will include a mix of housing types including single
family residences, duplexes, and zero lot line row houses. '
DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
The PRD and Subdivision preliminary plat applications were determined to be complete
on June 7, 2005. The City Council must act on the PRD and preliminary subdivision by its
September 6,2005, meeting to be within the 90-day time limit set by RCW 58.17.140. The
applicant may consent to a 21-day extension to the 90-day time limit. The Department of
Community and Economic Development recommends that the Planning Commission
recommend preliminary approval of the Reserve at Valley Creek Planned Residential
Development and Subdivision preliminary plat with the 18 conditions, 31 findings, and 14
conclusions (see Attachment A).
PROPERTY CHARACTERISTICS:
The proposed 34.5 acre The Reserve at Valley Creek Planned Residential Development
(PRD) and Subdivision site is located on the southwestside.ofthe Ahlvers Road and Laurel
Street intersection. The site was recently annexed into the City. At the time of annexation the
area was designated Low Density Residential (LDR) on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map
and zoned as RS-7. Only an area of29.84 acres was located within the Urban Growth Area and
annexed into the City, therefore, that is the area used for analysis of this proposal.
95

The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD Staff Report
July 13,2005
Page 2
The site includes a portion of Valley Creek, which exists in a deep ravine and crossesthe .
southwestern portion of the site diagonally from south to west. The remainder of the site has .
been selectively cleared and an abandoned single family residence exists centrally on the
property. Portions of the site have been used for agricultural purposes in the past and a remnant
orchard still exists. A wetland report, authored by Alkai Consultants, Inc., indicated the presence
of wetlands on the northeast portion of the site. From the north edge of the Valley Creek ravine,
the site generally slopes downward to the northwest.
The surrounding area is developed with single family homes situated on large parcels to
the north. Those residents are engaged in agricultural practices including the raising of livestock.
The Independent Bible Church is located directly to the east of the site with the Galaxy Place
subdivision directly east of the church. North of Ahlvers Road and east of Laurel Street
(northeast of the project site) are single family residences on large parcels up to one acre in area.
The areas to the south and west are undeveloped and forested.
The site is accessed from the intersection of Ahlvers and Laurel Streets. Laurel Street
south of Viewer est has a travel width of24 feet with narrow shoulders and intermittent walking
paths. Ahlvers Street for 350 feet east of the Independent Bible Church (IBC) is developed with
a 24-foot travel surface and 8-foot parking lanes. No pedestrian facilities are provided.
Approximately 150 feet west of Galaxy Place, the street narrows to 24 feet in width with no
parking lane and only narrow shoulders. The only areas developed with curbs are Ahlvers Road
in front of IBC, at the intersection of Mill Creek Court, and the intersection of Galaxy Place.
The only sidewalks provided on Ahlvers Road are at Old Mill Court and extend approximately
100 feet east and west from the intersection. The narrowest section of Ahlvers Road is at the
crossing of Old Mill Creek, where the travel surface is 22 feet and the shoulders are two feet or .
less in width.
DEPARTMENTAL REVIEW:
The Fire Department commented that:
1. It appears that the entrance drive to the development will be divided with a
planting strip. I spoke with Steve Zenovic and his memory was that the road
width was 40', and that it was proposed to put in two 16' lanes with an 8' wide
planting,strip between. The International Fire Code requires a minimum 20' wide
access. My suggestion would be to either reduce the width of the planting strip,
or offset it to one side so that one of the lanes (preferably the lane going in to the
development) is at least 20' wide.
2. All multi-family structures (tri-plex and above within the development will be
required to be fitted with residential sprinkler systems that meet NFP A
requirements.
3. The fire hydrant located at the NE corner of lot #46 should be relocated to the
NW corner of Lot #1.
The Public Works and Utilities Department commented that:
1. Utilities available at Ahlvers Road/Laurel Street include water, sanitary sewer and
electric.
2. Road improvements to be discussed upon review of subdivision PRD plans - .
(needs transportation study - offsite road improvements may be required).
3. Cost estimate for electrical services will be prepared after final plat/layout is
approved - customer responsib\)&r all costs.

4. Drainage report required:
and regarding the Traffic Impact Analysis:
1. . The study appears to use old outdated traffic count data from 2002. The data is
not shown anywhere in the analysis. .
2. The study only looks at the PM Peak Hour, based upon my observation of the
intersection, I believe that the AM Peak hour (during school) should be evaluated
as well. An updated count should involve:
a. 24 hour directional count (During school hours)
b. AM Peak hour count (During school hours)
3. The study should evaluate the intersection for the possibility of the installation of
a traffic signal at the intersection at Laurel Street and Lauridsen Blvd.
4. The proposed development is on a school walking route. It will add a
significantly amount of pedestrian traffic to an already narrow roadway. The
development should be required to participate in a future curb, gutter and
sidewalk project when funded.
The Police Department commented that:
1. The planned sidewalks are a very positive plus in lessening the societal
complaints/problems, which will accompany a PRD of this size, and which the
Department will be called to address. Children and sometimes adults, play ball,
run, ride bicycles and tricycles, etc., in the street, increasingly so where there are
no sidewalks.
2. The negative impacts to the PRD and surrounding neighborhood due to a
relatively large number offamilies with children who will seek outlets for their
social and physical needs to exercise and play would be lessened if the PRD
provided a recreation area large enough to accommodated activities such as
baseball, basketball, or the like.
3. The Department recommends that the City and Developer think out side the
normal measures to address the traffic issues, which will accompany the PRD.
Wide low speed bumps, traffic circles, stop signs, etc., are all things that, the City
hasn't historically used or required, but should be considered in this case. The
current limited number of on-duty police officers does not allow the Department
to address traffic control in the manner that we would like. Proper design of the
PRD can ameliorate such issues.
4. Laurel Street and Ahlvers Road border the proposed development. Laurel Street,
as presently constructed is a cause for concern. It has no sidewalks (and, south of
Viewcrest Street), no shoulder area and is currently heavily 'utilized by
pedestrians. Presumably it will carry the bulk of traffic entering or exiting the
PRD. Ahlvers Road is also sans sidewalks and, in fact, does not even have
shoulders capable of allowing safe passage to pedestrians. Traffic on Ahlvers
Road will also increase the already heavy traffic burden on Peabody Street where
it parallels the high school.
5. Northbound traffic from the PRD will greatly increase congestion at the Laurel
StreetlLauridsen Boulevard intersection. The police department believes that the
construction of the PRD would necessitate the installation of a traffic light at that
intersection. Lauridsen Boulevard at Laurel Street is Highway 101; it carries
virtually all traffic entering or 197ng the City's western boundary. Further, there
\

is a grade school nearby and a large grocery store, both of which contribute .
heavily to the areas pedestrian and vehicle traffic. As accidents increase, so too
will the demands on the City's emergency services agencies.
The Parks & Recreation Deoartment did not comment.
The Buildinf! Division did not comment.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
Notice of the proposed action was posted on the site on June 10,2005, mailed to residents
within 300 feet of the site on June 7, 2005, and published in the Peninsula Daily News on June
10,2005. As a result of the published notice, posting, and required mailing to property owners,
the City received twenty-five letters (from twenty letter writers) and one petition signed by 15
members of the public (see Attachment D). The letter writers concerns included the potential
increase in traffic on local streets, surface and storm water management issues, including the
existence of a wetland area on the site, concern for air pollution from wood stoves, the overall
density and appearance of the proposed project, and the belief that the development will become
a district of rental. properties attracting low income, indigent residents that will harm the existing
character of the neighborhood. These issues are all discussed under the Staff Analysis section of
this staff report.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
.
Per the procedures in WAC 197-11-355, a Determination of Non-Significance No. 1108
was issued for the proposal on July 6, 2005.
DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS:
Following a pre-application meeting on March 31, 2005, a PRD application was
submitted on May 3, 2005. . Following a request for additional inforination, a revised site plan
and additional materials was submitted on June 5, 2005. The application was determined to be
complete on June 6, 2005. The revised preliminary plat drawing for The Reserve at Valley
Creek shows a 147 lot subdivision proposal. Sixty-one lots are designed for single family
residences and range in size form 5,200 Square feet to 11,900 square feet, however, the majority
of the single family lots are approximately 6,000 square feet in area. A second group of 54 lots
are designed as "duplex" lots that will utilize a zero lot line configuration with the duplex units
having common walls contiguous with the lot line. These lots range from as small as 3,200
Square feet to 4,550 square feet and will occupy a more central position on the site. The
remaining 32 lots will also use a zero lot line concept, but are designed to accommodate a row
house or town house concept where four dwelling units are constructed in a single structure and
share a common wall and lot line. These lots range between 2,000 square feet and 3,500 square
feet, with one exception that is 7,500 square feet in area.
Density
The entire site is 34.46 acres in area and is zoned RS-7. However, when the site was
annexed to the City, the 4.62 acre portion of the sitelying southwest of Valley Creek was not .
located within the Urban .Growth Area and was therefore not annexed into the City. The
resulting land area annexed to the City is 29.84 acres. The allowed density in the RS-7 zone is
6.22 dwelling units per acre. Based on the gr09 sensity allowable for the RS-7 zone, 185
.

dwelling units could be permitted if no ~ri;Jironmentai g6nstraints were present. Of that area,
32.1 % (9.58 acres) of the site is constrained by either the Valley Creek ravine or the wetland
areas. The remainder of the site is proposed for either residential uses or right-of-way. The
resulting uses are 51.84% (15.47 acres) of the site being developed for residential uses and
15.11 % (4.51 acres) being utilized for right-of-way. The overall density of the Reserve at Valley
Creek PRD is 4.93 dwelling units/acre (147 units/29.84 acres). The density of the area not
encumbered by critical areas is 7.26 dwelling units/acre (147 units/20.26acres). A break down
of the density analysis is incluced as Attachment D.
Prior to the site being annexed to the City, the Clallam County zoning was Low Density
(LD) Clallam County Code 33.13.040. Under LDzoning, single family residences, duplexes,
and multi-family dwellings are all permitted uses. The allowable residential density for the LD
zone is 9 dwelling units per acre or 310 units for a 34.46 acre site, the minimum lot size 4,840
square feet.
Critical areas
A portion of the site is located within the Valley Creek ravine. This area covers
approximately 10.8 acres and is considered an environmentally sensitive area under P AMC
15.20. The creek and ravine area cannot be developed due to the environmental constraints. The
planned residential development was created to provide a land owner or prospective developer
the opportunity to develop a site to its fullest extent and to the density of the underlying zone
while at the same time preserve environmentally sensitive areas that benefit the entire area and
citizenry. The creek and ravine area will be left in its naturally occurring (current) condition and
be set aside as an open space tract. A 1.2 acre portion of the site will be enhanced with walking
trails and made available for the use of local residents. ,
A second portion of the site contains a Category III wetland. Three smaller Category III
wetlands, totaling 17,550 square feet exist to the south of the larger wetland. These wetlands
were delineated by Alkai Consultants of Silver dale, Washington. The evaluation indicated that
they have little structural complexity or species diversity and therefore have little to no habitat
value. It was further assessed that for the three smaller wetlands compensatory mitigation for
direct impacts could be achieved with creation of additional wetland area adjacent to the larger
wetland that is adjacent to the northern boundary of the project site. The large wetland area is
dominated by the non-native, invasive Reed Canary grass, which limits its functions for habitat.
However, it is a high functioning wetland for stormwater, biofiltration, sediment capture, and
flood attenuation. The projectdeveloper has commissioned Alkai Consultants to provide a
wetland mitigation plan for inclusion of the smaller wetlands into the larger wetland and for
enhancement of the larger wetland. Aconceptual wetland mitigation summary was submitted on
July 6,2005. That mitigation summary indicates that the larger wetland would be enhanced and
enlarged resulting in a mitigation ratio of2.12 to 1. PAMC 15.24.070.H(6) requires a mitigation
ratio for a Category III emergent wetland of 1.5 to 1. The inclusion of native trees and shrubs to
enhance the wetland buffer will provide added screening of the project for the surrounding
properties. The mitigation plan should be reviewed and approved by the City andU.S. Army
Corp of Engineers prior to final approval of the PRD.
Common usable open space
In addition to the 147 residential building lots, which comprised approximately 15.47
acres, a revised preliminary plat shows three common usable open space areas totaling
approximately 12,000 square feet and 4.51 acres in streets and driveways. Theplanned
residential development overlay zone requires that 30% of the site, or 10.2 acres, to be common
usable open space. Half (or 15% of the overall PRD site, or 4.48 acres) must be for recreational
purposes and maintained in common ownershfCfsuallythrough a homeowners association.
The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD Staff Report
July 13, 2005
Page 2
City staff and the developer met to discuss this requirement on July 6, 2005. An agreement to .
revise the proposal was reached and it was indicated that approximately 12,000 square feet of
play area will be developed for common usage in three separate areas, a 1.2 acre portion of the
Valley Creek ravine will be.enhanced for habitat with trails for access and recreation purposes,
and portions of the enhanced wetland buffer will include trails for common use. The
combination of these public active spaces has been approved by City staff to meet the required
15% common usable open space requirement. The proposal does not make clear how common
ownership of the open space, trails, and walkways will be managed and maintained.
Transportation/streets
The City's Subdivision Ordinance and Urban Services Standards and Guidelines require
the development of sidewalks along arterial streets but not on local access streets. No developed
City street abuts the development site. Approximately 200 feet of Laurel Street will be extended
south of the intersection of Ahlvers and Laurel Streets. This section of street will be divided
with a planted median strip and include a sidewalk on the west side. A bus stop shelter area will
be provided at the intersection. The proposal shows that the travel lanes will be 16 feet in width,
however, the fire department has commented that the travel lanes must be 20 feet in width, which
the developer has agreed to meet.
Interior streets are designed to have a 20-foot travel surface with an 8-foot parking lane
on one side of the street, rolled curbs, with sidewalks along one side. The right-of-way is to be
50 feet in width. This design is acceptable to the City and the interior street will be dedicated to
the City. 'v
The local streets leading to the site are South Laurel Street and Ahlvers Road. Bothof
these streets are narrow and in some places have narrow shoulders and lack sidewalks. A major .
concern of the residents in the area, which was expressed repeatedly in the letters received by the
City, is the inability of the local streets to handle the increased traffic volume expected from this
development. Improvements to South Laurel Street south of Viewcrest and to Ahlvers Road
from Laurel to Canyon Edge are listed in the City's Capital Facilities Plan for 2007. A
developers agreement between the City and the Developer to determine the extent of the
developer's contribution to street improvements will be negotiated and signed prior to final
approval of the PRD and subdivision.
Zoning Code
While the proposed subdivision does not conform to all RS-7 preliminary plat
requirements for lot size and street standards, smaller lot size and narrower access streets are
permissible through City approval of a site specific planned residential development per P AMC
Chapter 17.19. These smaller lots, though permissible in a planned residential development, are
subject to overall density limitations of the entire site.
The proposed subdivision does appear to conform with RS-7 zoning requirements
regarding density, given the allowances in a PRD overlay zone to waive the minimum lot size.
Since the PRD is designed as a small lot, single family subdivision in a Residential Single
Family Zone, the City has discretion to determine if the purposes in the Zoning and Subdivision
Ordinances are met per P AMC Sections .17 .19 .040 and 17.19.050.
This is not the basic urban land use pattern for the City's lower density single family
residential neighborhoods. The density of the developable area (7.26DU/ Ac) is slightly more
than that allowed in the low density RS-7 residentialneighborhood (6.22 DU/Ac), the site's
overall density is only 4.93 DU/Ac. The development is atypical for this zone and vicinity where ..
no other small lot, single family subdivisions exist nearby. While the development does not
appear meet the low density purposes of the RS-7 Zone, it does meet the specific requirements as
allowed in a PRD overlay zone while providi1U5igher density single family neighborhood type

development with surrounding open spaces, which is also consistent with the PRD Overlay
Zone.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan establishes the long range goals and policies of the City. It is
the basis upon which City officials are to make land use decisions. Any project proposed in the
City must be consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The most
relevant Comprehensive Plan goals, policies, and objectives are cited in Attachment B to this
staff report.
Map Designation
The Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map identifies the site as Low Density
Residential. The Low Density Residential designation allows an overall residential density of a
project or property to range up to 7 units per acre. The site development proposal results in an
overall site development of approximately 4.92 units per acre, for the 29.84 acre area annexed to
the City. Even when considering only the 20.26 acres that are not designated as critical area or
for wetland mitigation, the overall density is 7.26 units per acre. The lots that are designated as
single family residential lots range in size from 5,200 square feet to 11,900 square feet and
average 6,525 square feet in area. The 54 lots designated as duplex lots range in size from 3,050
square feet to 5,400 square feet and average 3,524 square feet in area. The 32 "Row-house" lots
range in size from 2,000 square feet to 7,500 square feet and average 2,828 square feet in area.
The subject site is not located in an area with a grid street system and may; be developed with
cul-de-sacs and curvilinear streets to achieve the desired urban design of the City.
Land Use Element
The configuration of the lots and streets conform to the desired urban design of the City
for residential developments on outlying areas of the City. The 28 foot paved travel surface with
rolled curbs and paved sidewalks on one side of the streets thatare located within a 50-foot right-
of-way provide adequate access to each residential lot. Utility services will be provided
consistent with the Urban Services Standards and Guidelines and the Capital Facilities Element
of the Comprehensive Plan level of service standards. The design of the RRD is such that 9.58
acres or 32.1 % of the site will be preserved as open space in the Valley Creek ravine or in the
wetland mitigation areas.
The PRD is designed to include a mixture of single family residences, duplexes, and "row
houses". Based on existing services, including availability of transit, the proximity of the high
school, existing shopping opportunities, and other urban services, the PRD.is well situated and
supports the district and neighborhood concept described in the Comprehensive Plan.
A planned residential development is one of the innovative techniques the City has
adopted to achieve implementation of Open Space and Conservation policies. The Reserve at
Valley Creek proposal must be conditioned to meet the 30% common usable open space
requirements ofPAMC 17.19.050. Available open space on the site plan appears to provideless
than the 4.48 acres of common usable open space area required of the approximately 29.84 acre
site. The 6.18 acres of Valley Creek ravine, the 1.2 acres of habitat enhancement area, and the
I
2.2 acres of wetland mitigation area, will be suitable for the required open space for preserving
natural features. In a meeting with the developer, certain modifications to the site plan were
agreed upon that will provide an acceptable level of usable open space. Two of the larger parcels
will be reduced in size with the remainder dedicated to usable open space, providing
approximately 12,000 square feet of commoIlJmle open space. The agreement also included
The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD Staff Report
July 13, 2005 .
Page 2
provisions for trails and other common usable open space in the buffer areas of the mitigated .
wetland area. A revised plan showing open space area and recreational facilities must be
submitted before final approval.
Transportation Element
The proposed street improvements provide for local traffic with special emphasis on
pedestrian walkway facilities along interior streets. No provisions for pedestrian facilities are
planned for the streets providing access to the development.
Housing Element
The small lot and PRD housing model designs are intended to be attractive in costs for
new single family homes, providing starter homes for new families, first time home buyers, those
that require or desire smaller homes and yards, or other middle income buyer. This small lot
housing design with zero lot lines is a rather new concept in Port Angeles and provides another
opportunity for those entering the housing market or those who require a housing option with
less maintenance requirements than larger homes on large lots.
Conservation Element
The site open space areas are separated from the residential lots. The Valley Creek
ravine is designated as a critical area and the portion of the site that will be developed for
residential uses will not encroach into the ravine area. The wetlands that exist on the site are low
quality wetlands that have potential to function at a higher level than they currently function at
and will be consolidated into a single, enhanced wetland that is separate from the housing area.
Capital Facilities Element & Utilities and public Services Element
Stormwater drainage improvements must meet the City's Urban Services Standards and
Guidelines and are subject to the Department of Ecology's NPDES permit requirements~ The .
Fire Department's comments regarding residential sprinkler system have been included in the
conditions of preliminary approval of the PRD and subdivision plat. Utilities already conform to
City standards and the final plat requirements for subdivisions.

Findings:
1.
Following a pre-application meeting on March 31, 2005, a PRD application was
submitted on May 3,2005. Following a request for additional information, a revised site
plan, was submitted on June 5, 2005. The Reserve at Valley Creek application was
determined to be complete on June 6, 2005. The revised preliminary plat drawing for
The Reserve at Valley Creek shows a 147 lot subdivision proposal. All of the lots access
from the intersection of Laurel Street and Ahlvers Road.
The preliminary plat would subdivide the approximately 29.84 acres ofland into 147
residential building lots, ranging from 2,000 to 11,900 square feet (see Attachment C for
the preliminary plat). While the proposed subdivision does not conforms to all
preliminary plat requirements, smaller lot size and private street access are permissible
through City approval of a site specific planned residential development per P AMC
Chapter 17.19.
The small lots though permissible in a planned residential development are subject to
overall density limitation. The overall density of The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD is
4.92 units/acre. Port Angeles Municipal Code (P AMC) Chapter 17.19 sets forth the
City's requirements for the approval of planned residential developments, and PAM C
Chapter 16.08 sets forth the City's requirements forthe approval of subdivisions.
The Revised Code of Washington RCW 58.17 contains the State's guidelines for the
uniform division ofland within the State of Washington. Section 58.17.110 requires a
city to inquire into the public use and interest proposed to be served by the establishment
of a subdivision. It shall determine if appropriate provisions are made for, but not limited
to, the public health, safety, and general welfare, for open spaces, dniinage ways, streets
or roads, alleys, other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes,
parks and recreation, playgrounds, schools and school grounds, and shall consider all
other relevant facts including sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe
walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school and whether the public
interest will be served by the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall not be approved
unless the city can make written findings that these provisions are made.
The purpose of a planned residential development (PRD) is set forth in Section 17.19.010
as follows:
This Overlay Zone is to provide alternative zoning regulations which permit and
encourage design flexibility, conservation and protection of natural amenities and
critical areas, and innovation Tfr4idential developments to those regulations

found in the underlying zone. It is intended that a Planned Residential
Development will result in a residential environment of higher quality than
traditionallot-by-lot development by use of a design process which includes
within the site design all the components of a residential neighborhood, such as
open space, circulation, building types, and natural features, in a manner
consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare.
Section 16.08.050(B)(1) PAMC provides that the Planning Commission shall examine
the proposed plat, along with written recommendations of the City Departments, and
shall either approve or disapprove the submittal. A recommendation thereon shall be
forwarded to the City Council withina period of 90 days after a preliminary plat has been
submitted to the City Planning Department. The City Council shall either approve or
disapprove the proposed preliminary plat at a public meeting.
The PRD and Subdivision preliminary plat applications were determined to be complete
on June 6, 2005. The City Council must act on the PRD and preliminary subdivision by
its September 6, 2005, meeting to be within the 90-day time limit set by RCW 58.17.140.
The applicant may consent toa 21-day extension to the 90-daytime limit.
The proposed 29.84 acre The Reserve at Valley Creek Planned Residential Development
(PRD) and Subdivision site is located at the southwest comer of Ahlvers Road and Laurel
Street. The development provides for subdivision of the subject site into 147 lots
designed for small-lot single family residences, zero lot line duplexes and fourplex row
houses.
The site is topographically diverse, with the southwest portion of the site containing the
Valley Creek Ravine with the northern portion sloping gently from south to north, and
resulting in a small depressional wetland adjacent to the northern boundary of the
property.
The preliminary plat application includes a drawing dated received June 5, 2005,
prepared for the applicant, Development and Construction Group by Zenovic and
Associates, Inc., provided in Attachment B, and used as the basis of the preliminary plat
review. The final plat will be entitled The Reserve at Valley Creek Planned Residential
Development and Subdivision.
The site is served by Ahlvers Road and Laurel Street, which do not meet City arterial
street standards south of Viewcrest.
Utilities are provided to the site.
The proposal has been reviewed with respect to the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code,
and Subdivision Ordinance. The Comprehensive Plan land use designations for the site is
Low Density Residential (LDR). The approximately 29.84 acre property ofthePRD was
/
zoned as RS-7 Residential Single Family at the time the property was annexed to the City
(ANX 05-02 dated May 31, 2005). Other surrounding properties are zoned RS-9
Residential Single Family (located in the City), LD, or RCC5 (located in the County) and
are developed with low density residential uses or are undeveloped. The Independent
Bible Church is located directly east of the site.
The proposed planned residential development and subdivision preliminary plat were
reviewed by the City's Fire, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and Economic and
Community Development Departments.
The proposed The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD and Subdivision is in the Fire
Department four minute response area. According toPAMC 18.08.110 - Fire
Suppression Requirements, each multi;..family residence within a new subdivision shall be
equipped with a residential sprinkler sr~ that is installed and maintained in

accordance with Uniform Fire Code (UFC) and National Fire Protection Association
(NFP A) standards.
Public notice of the PRD and subdivision application was published in the Peninsula
Daily News on June 10, 2005, posted on the site on June 10,2005 and mailed to property
owners within 300 feet of the proposed subdivision on June 7, 2005. The Department of
Community and Economic Development received twenty-five public comment letters,
which are provided in Attachment D.
The subject property is identified as Low Density Residential (LDR) on the Port Angeles
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The following Comprehensive Plan policies are
found to be most relevant to the proposal: Growth Management Element Goal A; Land
Use Element Goal A, Policy A.2, Goal B, Policies R1, B.2, & B.4, B.6 & 7, Goal C,
PolicyC.1 - 3, Goal I, Objective 1.1; Transportation Element Goal A, Policies A.3 and
A.6; Utilities and Public Services Element Policy D.1; Housing Element Goal A;
Conservation Element Goal A, Policies A.1-A.3, Goal B, Policies B.1-BA, B.16,
Objectives B.3-BA; Capital Facilities Element, Policies A.10, B.6, C.3.
The Comprehensive Plan requires concurrency for streets, water service, sanitary sewer
service, and electrical service (Capital Facilities Element Policy A.9).
The Comprehensive Plan recommends concurrency for solid waste collection, stormwater
management, telecommunications service, and emergency services (police, fire and
emergency medical response) (Capital Facilities Element PolicyA.10).
The City's Comprehensive Plan (Land Use Element Goal B) states the intention to have a
community where residential development and use of the land are done in a manner that
is compatible with the environment, the characteristics of the use and the users, and the
desired urban design of the City.
A planned residential development is one of the innovative techniques the City has to
achieve implementation of Open Space and Conservation policies and the desired urban
design of the City.
The proposal meets the minimum site size for a planned residential development.
The subject property in The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD and Subdivision is identified
by the Port Angeles Zoning Map as RS-7 Residential Single Family, which allows a
density of up to 6.22 units per acre. The revised preliminary plat drawing dated June 5,
2005, indicates that each lot in the proposed subdivision will be at least 2,000 square feet
in size and that the size of most of the single family residential lots is 6,000 to 7,000
square feet, the duplex lots are between 3,050 square feet and 5,400 square feet and the
row house lots are between 2,000 and 3,500 square feet.
The small lot and PRD housing model designs are priced to be affordable in costs for new
single family homes, providing starter homes for new families.and other first time home
buyers. This small lot housing design is still rather unique to the City and provides
another opportunity similar to Highland Estates, a senior housing development off Golf
Course Road and Lauridsen Boulevard.
All required utility improvements including potable water, sanitary waste, electrical, and
refuse collection have been provided to the subject site or are available in the area.
The Port Angeles School District currently serves the area, and school capacity is not an
issue with the present tr~nd in declining enrollments.
There currently are no designated school walking routes in the vicinity, however the
school district is in the process of reevaluating the school walking route map and it is
likely that both Laurel Street and Ahlvers Road will be added to the school walking route

Conclusions:
A.
The conditions of The Reserve at VaHey Creek PRD and Subdivision are consistent with
the Zoning Code, required by the Subdivision Ordinance, and necessary to implement the
Comprehensive Plan.
As conditioned, aH the necessary public improvements will be instaHed per the City
Urban Services Standards and Guidelines.
As conditioned, the configuration of the proposed subdivision lots and street layouts
conform to the desired urban design of the City for the residential developments in
outlying areas where there is no grid street pattern and low impact development standards
are aHowed. The curvilinear streets with a 28 foot paved surface and no parking along
one side of the streets reduce storiTIwater runoff and still provide adequate access for each
residential lot.
As conditioned, the utility services will be provided consistent with the Urban Services
Standards and Guidelines and the Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan
level of service standards. Analysis of downstream sanitary sewer capacity has been
provided that indicates no capacity improvements are needed for the additional 147 units
of The Reserve at VaHey Creek PRD'
Because the City does not have any neighborhood parks or playfields in the vicinity and
the subdivision wiH have more than 30 new home sites, one or more of the community
areas shown in the planned residential development and subdivision preliminary plat
should be designed as a children's play area.
The smaH lots proposed for The Reserve at VaHey Creek PRD and Subdivision are
desired for the following reasons: 1) the provision of attractive and affordable homes for
new families and other first time home buyers, and 2) the lots satisfy the desired urban
design of the City, except for their smaH size, which fits the density requirements of the
RS-7 zone and the PRD Overlay Zone.
This is not the basic urban land use pattern for the City's lower density single family
residential neighborhoods. The density is much more like a multi-family residential
neighborhood due to the concentration of homes outside of the critical areas. The PRD
does provide for a higher density single family development with surrounding open
spaces consistent with the PRD Overlay Zone.
The Reserve at VaHey Creek PRD and Subdivision provide an alternative residential
development design to the basic single family residential neighborhood and the basic
multi-family residential neighborhood in a manner that is affordable as starter homes for
new families and other first time home buyers. Conditions are recommended that would
satisfy the PRD standards that are not included in the proposal plans.
As conditioned, The Reserve at VaHey Creek PRD and Subdivision preliminary plat is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plrmd Zoning Code.

N.
As conditioned, The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD and Subdivision preliminary plat is in
conformance with the Port Angeles Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter 16.08 P AMC, and
the Washington State Subdivision Act, Chapter 58.17 RCW.
As conditioned, appropriate provisions have been made for the public health, safety and
general welfare and for such open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, other
public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation,
playgrounds, schools and school grounds, sidewalks and other planning features that
assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school.
As conditioned, the public interest is served in the preliminary approval of planned
residential development and platting of the subdivision as articulated in the City's
Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and Subdivision, Ordinance. The subdivision
provides for development of new homes within the City of Port Angeles consistent with
the Growth Management Act and beneficial to the City's tax base.
The final drainage plan must be approved by the City Engineer, and the City's
stormwater drainage standards will require that the proposed development not impact
downstream properties anymore than pre-development conditions. The drainage and
erosion control plans also are subject to the Department of Ecology NPDES permit.
The P AMC Chapter 17.19 Planned Residential Development Overlay Zone and Chapter
16.08 Subdivision Regulations allow for variations from standards variations in street
improvements, blocks, lots, and building line setbacks. Conditions are recommended
where certain proposed variation should not be approved due to the small lot design,
which allows for less on-site variation.

ATTACHMENTB
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan establishes the long range goals and policies of the City. It is the basis
upon which City officials are to make land use decisions. Any project proposed in the City must be
consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
Goals, Policies, and Objectives
The following goals, policies and objectives have been identified as being tht;l most relevant to the
proposed subdivision:
LAND USE ELEMENT
Residential
Goal A: To guide current and future development within the City in a manner that provides certainty to
its citizens about future land use and the flexibility necessary to meet the challenges and opportunities of
the future.
Policy A.2: All land use decisions and approvals made by the City Council and/or any of its
appointed Commissions, Boards or Committees should be consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan and its land use map.
Goal B: To have a community where residential development and use of the land are done in a manner
that is compatible with the environment, the characteristics of the use and the us~rs, and the desired
urban design of the City.
Policy B.2: Single family lots should be of reasonable shape and should have access provided by
an alley or by a local access street or a collector arterial.
Policy B.4: All residential developments should be designed with the provisions offire protection
and service vehicle access as key factors in the street design and circulation pattern. For
efficient circulation, rights-oi-way should be obtained and improvements made to further the grid
street pattern of the City. Cul-de-sacs may be permitted when designed as an integral part of the
major grid street pattern of the City.
Policy B.t: Urban services shall be available for all residential areas as required by the Capital
Facilities Element concurrency policy.
Policy B.6: All residential developments should be encouraged to preserve and capitalize on
existing unusual, unique, and interesting natural, historic, archaeological, and/or cultural
features, should preserve and utilize natural vegetation, should utilize and preserve scenic views,
should maximize southern exposures and solar efficiency, should offer protection from prevailing
winds, and should be designed to minimize energy use.
Policy B 7: Planned Residential Development techniques should emphasize the overall density of
the development rather than minimum lot sizes.
Goal C: To have a community of viable districts and neighborhoods with a variety ofresidential
opportunities for personal interaction, fulfillment and enjoyment, attractive to people of all ages,
characteristics and interests.
109
The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD Staff Report
July 13,2005

Policy C.1: Residential land should be developed on the district and neighborhood concept. .
Although such districts may be composed primarily of residential uses of a uniform density, a
. healthy, viable district should be composed of residential uses of varying densities, which may be
augmented, by subordinate and compatible uses. Single family and multi-family homes, parks
and open-spaces, schools, churches, daycare and residential services, home occupations, and
district shopping areas are all legitimate components of district development and enhancement.
A neighborhood should be primarily composed of low, medium, or high density housing.
Policy C.2: Medium and high density housing should be located in areas of the community most
suitable for such uses, based on existing services, public facilities, and transportation.
Policy C.3: Medium and high density housing should be served by arterial streets of sufficient
size in order to satisfy traffic demand and to lessen neighborhood traffic congestion.
Open Space
GoalI: To create open space reliefwithin the urban landscape, to retain natural landscapes, to preserve
fish and wildlife habitat, and to provide natural corridors which connect wildlife habitats. owners.
Objective 1.1: The City will develop a program of land banking, transfer of development rights,
or other innovative techniques which preserve open spaces.
TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT
Goal A: To develop a coordinated, multi-modal transportation system which serves all areas of the city .
and all types of users in a safe, economical, and efficient manner.
Policy A.3: The collector arterial streets and local access streets should serve primarily local
traffic with special emphasis on safety for pedestrian traffic.
Policy A.6: Planningfor transportation services andfacilities (including public streets,
bikeways, pedestrian walkways, and public and private air, marine and land transit services and
facilities) shall be performed consistent with the goals and policies of the Capital Facilities
Element.
UTILITIES AND PUBLIC SERVICES ELEMENT
Policy D.1: Urban services should be designedfor the maximum planned density and/or land use
intensity of a given area as designated on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map.
HOUSING ELEMENT
Goal A: To improve the variety, quality, availability, and affordability of housing opportunities in the
City of Port Angeles.
CONSERVATION ELEMENT

amenities of the land and complement the environment in which it is placed, while recognizing
the rights of private ownership.
Policy A.2: The City should promote compatibility between the land and its use by regulating the
intensity of the land use.
Policy A.3: The City should adopt development criteria which promote the use of innovative
design techniques to provide for the use of the land in a manner compatible with any unique
physical features or valuable natural, historical, and/or cultural amenities.
Goal B: To protect and enhance the area's unique physical features, its natural, historical,
archaeological, and cultural amenities, and the overall environment.
Policy B.t: The City shouldfurther public interest by protecting and enhancing the area's
unique physical features, valuable natural, historical, archaeological, and cultural amenities,
and the overall environment, while recognizing the rights of private ownership.
Policy B.2: The City should maintain and preserve its unique physical features and natural
amenities, such as creeks, streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands, ravines, bluffs, shorelines, andfish
and wildlife habitats.
Policy B.3: The City should protect and enhance the characteristics of its unique residential
neighborhoods.'
Policy B.4: Building density should decrease as natural constraints increase.
Policy B.t6: The City should designate open space areas to preserve major or unique physical
features and/or serve as natural greenbelts and wildlife corridors.
Objective B.3: The City will identify and implement site specific requirements for individual
development proposals to mitigate any negative impacts created by the development, particularly
to an area identified as an environmentally sensitive area.
Objective B.4: The City will adopt and enforce regulations which require all new development to
provide adequate stormwater retention/detention facilities necessary to protect water quality.
CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT
Policy A.tO: The City should require the following utilities and services at the time of ,
development: solid waste collection, stormwater management, telecommunications service, and
emergency services (police, fire and emergency medical response).
Policy B.6: The City should not approve any development that increases a site's post-
development stormwater run-off beyond that allowed by the Stormwater Management Manual for
the Puget Sound Basin as adopted by the City.
Policy C.4:The City should not approve any development that will not be served at or less than
the following level of service standards at the time of development: Police: 677 persons per one
officer. Fire: 4 minute response time or residential sprinkler system installation.

ZONING CODE:
.
The Zoning Ordinance is the primary implementing ordinance for the Comprehensive
Plan. It establishes what types of uses are permitted and where they may be located in the City.
It also establishes minimum design standards for such uses. Like the Comprehensive Plan, any
project proposed in the City must be consistent with the regulations of the zone in which it is
located.
The Zoning Map identifies the site as RS-7 Residential Single Family.
The purpose and intent of the RS-7 Zone is as follows:
This is a low density residential zone intended to create and preserve urban single family
residential neighborhoods consisting of predominantly single family homes on standard
Townsite-size lots. Uses which are compatible with andfunctionallyrelated to a single
family residential environment may also be located in thiszone. Because of land use
impacts associated with nonresidential uses, few nonresidential uses are allowed in this
zone and then only conditionally. This zone provides the basic urban land use pattern for
the City's single family residential neighborhoods, following a standard rectangular
street grid system of60-foot rights-ofway for local access streets and 300-foot by 500-
foot blocks with 50-foot by 140-foot lots and usually located in areas that are largely
developed and closer to the center of the City.
Density shall not exceed one dwelling unit for every 7,000 square feet of lot area (6.22
units/gross acre), except that an "accessory residential unit" and conditionally approved duplexes .
shall be exempt from density limitations. All lots shall comply with the minimum area and
dimensional requirements as follows:

This Overlay Zone is to provide alternative zoning regulations which permit and
encourage design flexibility, conservation and protection of natural amenities and
critical areas, and innovation in residential developments to those regulations found in .
the underlying zone. It is intended that a Planned Residential Development will result in
a residential environment of higher quality than traditionallot-by-Iot development by use

residential neighborhood, such as open space, Circulation, building types, and natural
features, in a manner consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare.
17.19.040 Permitted Modifications of Land Use Rezulations. The approval of a Planned
Residential Development may include modifications in the requirements and standards of the
underlyingiand use regulations of the zone in which the project is located, subject to the
limitations of this Chapter, except that no approval shall include a modification, variance or
waiver of the setback areas required by the underlying zones along the exterior property lines of
the P RD or of the requirements of the Shoreline Master Pro~am except as provided in Chapter
173-14 WAC For the purpose of th is section, minimum setbacks along exterior property lines
shall be based on the final lot configuration after subdivision of the property.
17.19.050 Standards. The following standards shall apply to all Planned Residential
Developments:
A. All street and utility improvements shall be constructed to standards specified by
the City of Port Angeles. Street widths may vary from widths required in the Subdivision
Regulations, and interior circulation streets may be either public or private.
B. All Planned Residential Developments shall devote at least 30% of the gross area
of the site to common usable open space, half of which must be used for recreational purposes
and none of which will be credited in the setback areas required along the exterior property lines
of the PRD. Street rights-of-way, driveways, parking lots and utility structures shall not be
counted as part of the common usable open space. Common usable open space shall be
maintained as an integral part of the site and may not be segregated as a separate parcel or
parcels unless such parcels are to be owned by a homeowners association. Community
recreation facilities and recreation structures shall be included in calculating the area devoted
to common usable open space.
C All Planned Residential Developments shall provide for continuous and perpetual
maintenance of common open space, common recreation facilities, private roads, utilities,
parking areas and other similar development within the boundaries of the P RD in form and
manner acceptable to the City.
D. Platting shall be required of all projects, which involve or contemplate the
subdivision of land. Lots in a platted Planned Residential Development may be sold to separate
owners according to the separate lots as shown in the recorded plat, which is approved in
connection therewith. Development of all lots within the platted Planned Residential
Development shall be as shown in the approved P RD. No further subdivision of land within the
Planned Residential Development will be permitted unless aformal amendment to the PRD is
approved.
E. Conditional Use Permits shall be required of all projects, which involve or
contemplate conditional uses which may be allowed in the underlying zone(s). No further
conditional use permits, except home occupations, will be permitted within the Planned
Residential Development unless a formal amendment to the P RD is approved.
F. For any underlying land use regulatory process that is consolidated through the
P RD overlay process, the criteria and development standards of that underlying land use
regulatory process shall be met. Any subsequent land use decision made pursuant to an
underlying land use regulatory process shall also require a formal amendment to the P RD.
G. To encourage design flexibility, conservation of natural amenities, and
innovations which result in a higher quality residential environment than traditional
subdivisions, site planning and architectural l1isw which address the following criteria are
The Reserve at Valley Creek PRD Staff Report
July 13, 2005

required of all development in the P RD. Where applicable, the design of P RDs shall accomplish .
the following to the greatest extent possible:
1. Preserve unique physical features of the site including, but not limited to,
creeks, wetlands, ravines, bluffs, lakes or ponds, shorelines, and forest areas.
2. Preserve scenic view corridors, both internal and external to the site.
3. Provide recreation facilities including, but not limited to, bicycle or
pedestrian paths, children's play areas and playfields.
4. The design of all open space areas and building structures shall be
compatible with and complementary to the environment in which they are placed
H All Planned Residential Developments shall comply with the goals and policies of
the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan.
SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE:
The City's Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter 16.08 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code,
has been reviewed with respect to the proposal. Although the entire ordinance has not been
cited, the following development standards and policies have been found to be applicable:
16.08.060 - Standards and Policies.
A. GENERAL STANDARDS. If a proposed street and/or lot pattern for any zone in
Port Angeles has been made by the Councilor the Commission, the street layout of any new plat
submitted shall be in general conformance to said pattern or plan. Otherwise proposed streets
in new subdivisions shall conform to the Comprehensive Plan and Urban Services Ordinance as .
adopted.
No plan for the platting, replatting, subdivision, or dedication of any area shall be
recommended for approval by the Commission unless streets shown therein are connected by

The Revised Code of Washington RCW 58.17 contains the State's guidelinesfor the
uniform division of land within the State of Washington. Section 58.17.110 requires a city to
inquire into the public use and interest proposed to be served by the establishment ofa
subdivision. It shall determine if appropriate provisions are made for, but not limited to, the
public health, safety, and general welfare, for open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads,
alleys, other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and
recreation, playgrounds, schools and school grounds, and shall consider all other relevant facts
including sidewalks and other planningfeatures that assure safe walking conditions for students
who only walk to and from school and whether the public interest will be served by the
subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall not be approved unless the city can make written
findings that these provisions are made.

OPEN SPACE
OPEN SPACE #1.
Located in the southwest comer of the 34.47 acres, is
approximately ten plus acres of canyon, at the bottom of which
is Valley Creek. Although, only that portion of this area iying
northeast of Valley Creek, is within the Urban Growth Area, of the
city; It is the intention of the developer to commit all of this area
to open space.
The plat map submitted, shows a tract, between lots 36 and
93, reserved for access to the aforementioned open space. It
would be possible to develop ~ome parking within that tract.
It is our intent to develop a "Active/Native Enhancement" area,
southwest of the ridge line, accessed by the above mentioned
, .
tract; to include tr~ils, picnic areas and other such appropriate
active uses that may be permitted by the city.
.
OPEN SPACE #2.
Located in the northeast comer, of the property, parallel with
Ahlvers street, is the dedicated wetlands area. This area will
contain the main detention pond and bio-swales as required. It
is our intent to enhance the existing wetlands area "B", by
removing the invasive canary grass, and adding high quality,
native wetlands vegetation.
Further it is planned to place landscaping and walking pa~hs
in this area, to the extent they are compatible with the
wetlands designation.
OPEN SPACE #3.
Immediately west of lot 103, we would develop a "TOT-LOT",
which would include playground equipment.
PLEASE NOTE; The total area we have committed to open space
is OVER 37% OF THE GROSS AREA.

Re: Preliminary Plat of 34.47 acres @ Laurel & Ablvers
Mr. Collins,
We respectfully submit tbe attacbed infonnation ~or your consideration.
'Please understand, that Sherron and Assoc., of Bellevue, Wa. is very
serious about finding a solution to our present problem. Any. help you
may be able to advance, will be greatly appreciated.

PAt;E 1
PRE PURCHASE THINKlNG AS TO 34.47 ACRES
A) A very special, but large tract, located in a smaller market area.
B) To make financial sense, come up with a way to market tbe properties,
in approximately three years.
C) To accomplish this plan, develop and build, to three defined types of
buyers: 1. Single family, at a variety of prices
2. "0" lot line duplexes, at a variety of sizes & prices.
3. "0" lot line townhouse & single level types, also at a variety
of sizes and prices.
.
D) Avoid a cookie cutter type of development.
E) Strive for the best amenities ( infrastructure) possible, to produce a
unique and pleasant place to live.
F) Use topography and streets to delineate the three housing areas.
G) Strive for some affordable bousing, so single Mom's and new families
can get a start on borne ownersbip.
H) Above all, develop plans, etc., that will fit. tbe Port Angeles -market.
Don't just bring King County plans to P.A.
.

I
"

.
GAlVlE PLAN TO DATE HAS BEEN
A) Prepare a preliminary plat drawing acceptable' to tbe Planning
Commission and City Council of Port Angeles.
B) '''hile the preliminary plat made it's way thru the Planning
Commission and City Council bearings, etc., do professional
Market research.
C) Wbile the infrastructure is being constructed, create plans unique
to tbe Port Angeles market.
D) Be prepared to submit exbibits, for model borne permits, when. the~
final plat is recorded. ~
E) Sberron and Assoc., construction division, to kick off tbe project, with
a model or models, of eacb bousing type.
.
F) PLEASE NOTE: Sberron and Assoc., is fully capable of bringing to
Port Angeles, it's own suppliers and sub-contractors, BUT it has
always been tbe plan to open this up to local builders, hence local
suppliers, subs and jobs. If in the final analysis, Sherron is forced to
spend tbe time and tbe money to design for every property, then tbey
migbt as well build out tbe entire project.
.

PAGE 3
WHERE ARE WE NOW
A) As to tne physicai requirements vf the city, !ill the!e things seem
to be negotiable, and / or correctable on tbe plan we reviewed. Tbe
density is 50 or more units below, tbat whicb could be approved in
an RS-7 zone. So that's not a problem.
>.'
B) BUT.......the .requirement of a site specific plot plan, floor plan witb
an elevation or elevations for each lot, bas brougbt us to a halt.
C) So.....Mr. Armstrong was poised to expand the pre-purchase
market studies, tbat were done in Nov. & Dec., bas decided to wait
to see if and how this problem can be resolved. Further ~e has asked
Steve Zenovic, to stop any furtber work, f~r the same reasons.
.
D) Our Purchase and Sale agreement. calls for closing upon approval of the
preliminary plat, with a 120 day free feasibility period. We are nearing
tbe end of said free period, and will soon bave to pay for extended
time, so Sberron and Assoc, are now having to re-think the deal.
'\
E) To back away from the PRD concept, to a RS-7 cookie cutter plat, \
would flood the Port Angeles market, with only one, option of the type \
of housing that could be built. The first thing we would lose, is any \
chance of producing any affordable housing, and more than likely i
extend tbe period nee~ed to market tbe properties, to several additio~a:l
years, thereby increasing interest costs to a degree, that tbe project
would not be profitable. '

PORT ANGELES PRD ORDlNANCE & OTHER CITIES
A) If my information is correct, the P A ordinance is over 20 years old.
Further there have been only three or four PRD applications. Of these
only one was in fact developed.
B) OTHER CITIES.....My second daughter, worked for the city of Bothell
for ov~r 15 years in the community development department. Then she
went to work for "Tidemark", I believe it was, a company that makes soft-
ware for the permit process. I had her call around to some people sbe
knew in some of the jurisdictions around. Bothell. I realize it is cursory
information,. but the consensus seems to be, that wl,ile all POO or PRD
ordinances have somewhat similar language, to PA's, it is only used
on those occasions where over zealous developers, attempt to squeeze in
to many lots, and such things as proper access, setbacks, proper light,
etc., are not obviously able to be obtained.. ( Please look at some of
the photographic examples I have attached) Or when topography. or
other physical limitations, might make it impossible to adhere to .
normal practices. Further, that since they, the various jurisdictions,
had the final authority of approval or denial, at the time on permit
application, it was just a duplication of effort, tbat. served no purpose.
.
C) SEQUJM.......Iam attaching an "application requirements" page from
the city of Sequim, POO ordinance. It also contains similar language
as PA, but Melinda, assured me tbat they make no use of it. Now I
realize that none of this, makes their practices in any way applicable
to P A, but I am .obviously trying to point out the. experience of
others.

A) The preliminary plat plan, as submitted, is or can be made to

B) The site has no extraordinary conditions that would make it
difficult. to comply with all city requirements, as prescribed by
the PRD ordinance.
C) Architecture, floor plans, styles such as craftsman, traditional, etc.
change with time. So commitments to site ~pecific plans could be
disastrous to future sales. How can we possibly know what a
local builder or custom home buyer wiD want to build, yean
from now?

need for future changes in style, size, ete.

THE DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT
.
This is a large property, (34.47 acres), located in a relatively small market. The
topography of this acreage, ( approximately 10 acres of canyon adjacent to Valley Creek),
plus about two acres of designated wetlands, make it absolutely necessary to come up with
a development plan that would bring into play many different residential uses; hence our
application for a "Planned Resideniiai Deve:opme:-;t." {PRD ,}
The underlying zoning of this property, as annexed by the city of Port Angeles, is R-7, or
7,000 sq. ft. lots. The PRD concept allows for the lot sizes to vary from the norm, thereby
increasing the density, of the useable land; and also allows changes in certain setback
requirements, and most important'allows for mixed residential uses. For a property this
size, the Port Angeles PRO ordinance would alJow up to 214 units...the preliminary plan we
are submitting has a total of 147 units, and has the following residential types.
61 Single Family Properties, lots 1 thru 61, typical size 55' x 110', Ave. 6,050 sq. ft.
54 One-Half Duplex lots, lots 62 thru 115,_ sizes vary. This concept allows for the
constrution of a typical duplex on abutting lots, then under the "0" lot line concept, (not a
condominium), sales could be made to different individual buyers, for each side of the
duplex.
32 "0" lot Line Properties, Lots 116 thru 147, sizes vary. This will allow for up to four
attached units ( 4-plex). This approach will provide a variety of pricing; for those buyers
that otherwise would not be able to afford new construction purchases. Ie. Singles, Single
Moms, Widows, etc.
.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOllOWING:
1. On the final mylar plat map, the exact frontage measurements, of the 4-plex lots, may
change slightly, to accommodate the final building plans.
2. A relatively new product, being built in many areas, is a single-family home, two'story,
constructed on a narrow lot, to keep the land price down. If this were to prove popular,
several of the "0" lot line p'roperties could be used for tt:lis type of home. . For your inform-
ation, an example of this type of home, is provided on the next page.

approximatel, ten plus acres of canyon, at the bottom of which
is Valley Creek. All of this area will be dedicated open space,
With the possible exception of a small area for a stOrln water
detention pond, if required.
Regardless of the need for a second d~tention pond, there
will be public access provided to this area. An access space
for a walk or road, as needed, of at least 20 foot width will be
provided between lots. . .
.
OPEN SPACE #2.
Located in the northeast comer, of the property, parallel with
Ahlvers street, is the dedicated wetlands area. This area will

VEGETATION'
The land under all the lots, as shown on the .plat drawing, was
logged in late 1992. A portion of the three plus acres on the SW
side of Valley Creek, was also logged in 1992. Many smaller
calipereVergree,ns exist_~n the site. The area between Valley
Creek and the platted area, and most of the three acres SW of the
creek have numerouS large evergreens. None of these will be
touched, UNLESS it becomes necessary to create a second
detention pond, then any cutting or clearing would be held te>> the
minimum necessary.
.
Trees in the road right of ways or building pad areas will
have to I;te removed. In the perim~ter setback areas, every effort'
will be made to preserve said trees. Obviously these trees ca...
be an asset,.to the marketing of the properties"

STREETS & STORM WATER
STREETS:
It-is proposed that all streets, '\Nith the exception qf one private
access drive, to 10,ts 94,95, 96. & 97, be fully dedicated city
streets. The proposed right of way width, of said streets, is to be
50 feet, the improved portion of the streets, is proposed to be 28
feet, curb to curb, with parking on one side only; rolled concrete
curbs, both sides of the street and a sidewalk on one side only.
A full page photo of the type of curbs we ~ould like to use is
provided on the next page.
STORM WATER:
A storm water collection system will be designed, tOj deliver said
,
water to the designated detention ponds.

Presented at Plann Commission
meeting
.
11 July 2005
Port Angeles Planning Commission
City Hall
321 E. 5th St.
Port Angeles, WA 98362
RE: Reserve at Valley Creek
Dear Commissioners,
This matter is set for hearing on July 13, 2005 for consideration of preliminary plat approval. I will
be out of town and unable to attend the meeting but I wish to submit comments with regard to the
subdivision proposal.
First and foremost I think that it is incumbent upon the Commission to proceed cautiously. The
staff report states that
.
This is not the basic urban land use pattern for the City's lower deDsity single family
residential neighborhoods.. . . The development is atypical for this zone. ; . .Staff
Report at 7
This project is so atypical that the staff report continued that
The density is much more like a multi-family residential neighborhood due to the
concentration of homes outside of the critical areas. Id.at 13
Because it is "a rather new concept in Port Angeles" (Id. at 8), it is likely that whatever is
approved for this development will become the template for future small lot/zero lot line projects.
Air Pollution
I previously submitted comments with regard to the SEPA determination. It is not clear to me.if
those comments have been provided to the Commission so I have appended a copy hereto.
I attended the neighborhood meeting required by PAMC 17.19.080 and raised the issue of
pollution from wood smoke. I alluded to the heavy fogs and stagnation of air during the winter
months; The development proposal is silent with regard to this issue.
The staff report acknowledges that it has received comments with regard to air pollution from
wood stoves and states that "these issues are all discussed under the Staff Analysis of this staff .
report." Id. at 4. However, the analysis is devoid of any mention of the issue much less a
resolution or recommendation.
.
I do not want to restate what I have already appended - the appendix speaks for itself. However,
I will add that the Commission would be remiss if it did not condition the approval of the
preliminary plat with a prohibition on wood burning devices such as stoves and fireplaces. One of
the essential features of any subdivision is that appropriate provisions be made for the public
health, safety and general welfare. RCW 58.17 .110. The topographic features of the
development site and the surrounding neighborhoods, the heavy winter fogs and air inversions
153
and the environmentally sensitive Valley Creek militate against any addition of homes that are
capable of burning wood. One need only spend a single winter in the Galaxy Place neighborhood
to know that the winter air stagnates because of these geographic and meteorological conditions.
.
Transportation
The City Public Works and Utilities Department is reported to have some concerns with regard to
the quality of the submitted traffic analysis. Id. at 3. Specifically, the Department concluded that:
-The study appears to use old and outdated traffic count data from 2002;
-The data is not shown anywhere in the analysis;
-The study focused only on PM Peak hour counts but should have included AM Peak
hour (for school traffic) and a 24 hour directional count;
-The Laurel-Lauridsen intersection should have been evaluated for a traffic signal.
The Staff Report neglects any analysis of these comments. Instead, the report states that
The developer and the City shall negotiate an agreement indicating the level of
contribution to roadway improvements that the developer will be responsible for prior to
final approval of the PRD. Id. at 9, ~ 2.
How one is in a position to negotiate when the impacts and mitigations are not known is difficult to
fathom. Such negotiation would be conducted in a vacuum and I suspect that the neighborhoods,
and the City, would come out the loser.
I have no quarrel with an ultimate negotiation of impacts between the City and the developer but
this should occur only from a level playing field with both parties knowing the same facts. The
preliminary approval should. not be granted until the completion of a study satisfying the concerns
of the City engineers. When the study is done, then the City will know what the impacts of the,
development are and how to mitigate them.
.
Conclusion
A Planned Residential Development is intended to "result in a residential environment of higher
quality than traditionallot-by-Iot development." PAMC 17.19.010. Unless the Commission
prohibits the residences from building or installing fireplaces and wood stoves, the surrounding
neighborhoods will suffer from a significant reduction in the quality of air.
Furthermore, the concerns of the City engineers should be addressed before the City planners
attempt to negotiate the transportation impacts. The Commission should require the applicant to
resubmit a traffic study which addresses those concerns.

Dept. of Community Development
Subject: Planned Residential Development at Laurel St. and
Ahlvers Road, Port Angeles.
We wish to voice our concern about the planned development for
creation of 147 residential buildings which will consist of 61 single
family homes, 54 duplex units and 32 attached townhouse units.
Pleased be advised that we are not anti-growth, but we are against
this particular development. We have no problem with keeping the
area to single family units requiring the standard 9000 sqft lot for
each house. That would conform to the building codes in our area.
We do have a great concern about the increased traffic that this ..
development will create. Laurel Street in the present state, will not
handle a huge increase in traffic and the danger that this traffic will
create to people that walk along Laurel. Laurel Street.is barely able
to accommodate the many, many automobiles, trucks and the large
bus that use Laurel Street every day of the week.
We have no comment about the environmental impact on the area,
as we have no knowledge if it will create any problems. We also
have no comment on the impact on the water and sewer systems,
that must be determined by the Port Angeles City staff.
As we stated in the beginning, we have no obj ection to the
development of single family homes that will conform to our area,
but we do object to the present planned development that does not
conform to the code for our area.
Sincerely,
J0~J:

To add another 1,000+ cars per day on Laurel Street or even half that
amount (most of them will use Laurel Itr~et) is unrealistic. When
B~hool is in session the traffic from the school is extremely heavy.
The intersection 'at Park and LauEel is already dangerous. The lBG .
Church is adding on Which will create more traffic .in the area.
This is not a good area to add 142 home sites. Even half as many homes
would create a .traffic problem.

Residential Development at Ahlvers & Laurel
We are strongly opposed to the Residential Development at Ahlvers and
Laurel. Zoning laws should be respected. -The incredible density of
this development, zero lot lines, environmental degradation, water
run-off, traffic clogged up on Peabody and Laurel, (which are unable to
handle it.)...these are only some of the issues.
We are requesting a full environmental impact statement before such a
project is even voted on.

Dear Sirs/Madams:
This letter is in regard to the Planned Residential Development proposed for 34 acres located at .
the southwest corner of Laurel Street and Ahlvers Road.
We do not think such a dense development of that land is in th~ best interests of the city or the
people who already live in the area. This development will change the character of the
neighborhood, which has been primarily single-family homes. Please allow us to note more specific
concerns we have and ask that the city take action to mitigate these concerns or disallow the
development project.
Our concerns are:
1. Covering 34 acreas with 147 residences, concrete walks and driveways, and paved streets
certainly suggests possible environmental risks. While the city indicates that the developer will
make provision for the existing wetlands on the property and take care of any other environmental
issues, we would be better assured to know exactly what environmentalissues exist. That would
mean a full environmental impact statement, which we believe the city should require.
.
2. The significant increase in automobile traffic on Laurel aJ?d Peabody streets and Ahlvers Road
would create congestion and thus be a safety issue. Nearby sections of Laurel and Ahlvers are
already below standards for the current level of traffic. The city's plan to improve those streets near
the development site in 2007 will only make them adequate for the present local traffic volumes,
not the volumes which are projected if the residential development is built. With no sidewalks the
children and adults who walk on the streets will he at even greater periJ. The problem is parli~ar
to this location because only two streets (Laurel and Pea~ody) provide access from other areas of
the city.
3. The traffic issue, however, does not just end in the vicinity ofthe development. During the school
year, traffic at the corners of Laurel and Park, Peabody and Park, and Race and Park are always
busy and really snarled at least twice a day for 20 minutes. Those same corners are jammed many
others times when the high school's auditorium and gymnasium are used for public events. Traffic
congestion at Laurel and Lauridsen (Highway 101) and Peabody and Lauridsen, already a
problem, also would need to be addressed if significant increases in automobile volumes are
introduced.
Thank you for your kind attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
~U-~

RE: Planned residential Development at Ahlvers Road @ Laurel
Considering that there are only two through streets leading to the
planned development at Ahlvers Road and Laurel, and the amount of
traffic which would be generated by such a large number of dwellings,
we (the undersigned) feel that the amount of traffic would increase
enough that an LID would have to be developed, which would impact all
of us in
his quiet neighborhood.

Weare strongly opposed to the Residential Development at Ahlvers andL'''DI. of CDmm,,;t, o",'opm"t
Laurel. Zoning laWS should be respected. The incredible density of '
this development, zero lot lines, environmental degradation, water
run-off, traffic clogged up on Peabody and Laurel, (streets unable to
handle it)......these are only some of the issues.
We are requesting a full environmental impact analysis before such a

Re: Planned Residential Development
A creage at Ahlvers and Laurel
My husband and I find we are very concerned regarding the development of the 34+ acres at the
west end of Ahlvers. We feel that development is a wonderful thing, however we do not agree
with overcrowding and overbuilding on a piece of property. These neighborhoods are single
family ~esidential (RS-7) with good sized lots, putting duplexes and t.ownhouses is of great
concern. to our family. This will significantly impact our quiet, single family neighborhoods.
The environmental affects are also concerning. What affect will so many houses have on the
run-off from Valley Creek? We would like to see the environmental effect addressed as well as
the huge. expense to the present landowners that will be impacted by the LID. If the Laur~l. Street
fill needs to be widened this will also impact Mill Creek. We do not understand why these
environmental issues are being .overlooked so a developer can make money selling low inc.ome
and multiple family housing. .
We believe the developer should have to absorb the cost of the LID required for Laurel Street up .
from Viewcrest and from Peabody to Lau~el on Ahlvers. .
The increase in tr8.ffic (1000 cars per day) will severely affe~t the flow of normal t~affic in this
area. 1t is already a problem getting onto Park from Peabody during the school year and the
Laurel/1 0 1 intersection will only get worse.
Please reconsider the developers plans and corne up with a plan more neighborhood friendly to
this particular area
We beli.eve there is a need for a full Environmentallrnpact Statement before this project is voted
. .
on.

Re: Property Development at Southwest comer of Ahlvers and Laurel
Dear Mayor Headrick & Council Members,
I am writing this letter to inform you of concerns that I have with the proposed
Planned Residential Development at the comer of Ahlvers and Laurel.
.
After attending the clevelopers meeting on March 31, 2005 at lBC church, I was
shocked to find out that they were planning to build duplexes and fourplexes along with
some single family houses on substandard size lots. One of the reasons I moved to my
present location onLaureI Street was to get away from the problems associated with this
type of development. I am sure that there are environmental issues with this
development, especially with Valley Creek running through the property, but my main ,
concern is for the welfare of my family. The type of development proposed will be
bought up by investers and turned into lower income rentals which will create noise,
unsafe traffic, all types of pollution, and major societal problems. I have been a landlord
for over ten years and I know fIrst hand what happens with rental property.
I don't think that anyone has a problemwitb the property being developed. The
problem is with the small lots, duplexes and fourplexes. My property is two hundred feet
from the proposed development and is zonedRS9 and they are proposing substandard
lots that would be less than the standard RS7. I don't know much about zoning but it
doesn't seem right to mix. a neighborhood with this type of development. Just take a
drive around Port Angeles and look atneighborhoods that have apartments, duplexes and
fourplexes and you will see the lack of maintenance, noise and pollution. Contact the
police department and ask about the societal issues associated with these developments.
We all love our neighborhood and don't want to see it deteriorate. We welcome a
developer that will improve and care for our community. Please don't let some out of .
town developer come in and changeit forever. I know that you are aware of all the other
concerns associated with this development like traffic, LID, noise, smoke, societal issues,
environmental issues, water runoff, and safety. I have two daughters age eight and five,
so ask yourself, if they were your precious daughters would you want this typ~ of
development across the street from your house. Please take all of these concerns into
consideration when making your fmal decision.
.
Sincerely, ~~_.

Mark Madsen
City of Port Angeles
Planning Department
City Hall
Port Angeles, W A 98362
Dear Mr. Madsen;
As you know, the Reserve at Valley Creek project is of extreme concern to us.
We have read the requirements for the Planned Residential Development Overlay Zone
and question whether the project meets all the requirements.
17.19.010 states that the purpose of the PRD is "intended to result in a residential
environment of higher quality than traditional lot-by-lot development." The proposed
plan for this project does not appear to meet this standard as it calls for a high density of
multi-family homes on lots much smaller than standard size. This doesn't translate into
higher quality homes. This means smaller homes of indeterminate quality.
.
": 17.19.050 sets various standards required for a PRD including item B which states
that'ALL PRD's "shall devote at least 30% of the gross area of the site to conunon usable
space, half of which must be used for recreational purposes." The proposed plan shows a
playground area of 4000+ square feet and 1.2 acres for walking trails. This doesn't
appear to come close to the 1'5% requirement for recreational land. The area designated
for walking trails is not located on generally level land either as required by defmition in
17.19.011. By definition the common usable open space must be accessible and usable to
all residents of the development. At best the 1.2 acre area would fall under general open
space and it still doesn't meet the required area requirement.
Item G calls for site planning and architectural review which states the "design of
all open space areas and building structures shall be compatible with and complementary
to the environment in which they are placed." This project is being placed in an area of
single family homes, many having larger than normal lot sizes or acreage. This multi-
family, high density project is an extreme anomaly in this neighborhood and certainly
isn't "compatible with and complementary to" the surrounding environment.
17.19.090 calls for an "explanation of covenants, continuous maintenance
provisions, ,and or hqmeowners association for,the project." Not only did we see no
evidence of any of this information, the developer indicated at the meeting at the IBC
Church that they really weren't planning on a homeowners association. Where are the
.
166
.
.
.
required controls? The plan should not even come up for consideration until these issues
are properly addressed in detail and the neighborhood has an opportunity to review it.
B also requires information on the proposed structures. .To date, the only .'
information provided has been pictures and drawings of what the developer has done
elsewhere - nothing defmitive on what will be done here. The developer also indicated
that while they would "probably build some of the structures," the lots would be sold
without structures and then it "would be up to the landowner and his contractor." This
lacks the control it would seem would be required for a PRD. What sorts of guideiines
and limitations would be put in place to guarantee a cohesive looking "neighborhood" as
required for a PRD? This should also be in writing before this project is considered.
17.19.090 also calls for a vegetation survey. While the wetland areas appear to
have been identified, we didn't see a complete vegetation survey.
The scope and nature of this project and its irnpact'OD the surrounding area is
great. At the very least, a full EnvirOlilllental Impact Statement should be required prior
to any Planning Commission decision.
17.19.120 requires that prior to making a recommendation, certain criteria must
be met. While we don't know if the project meets ite1? A, we don't feel it meets the
remaining criteria.
It doesn't meet B as it doesn't appear that lower valued, smaller homes and multi-
family units will "create a residential environment of higher quality." The quality and
aesthetics ofthis high density development have not been properly addressed.
It doesn't meet C as it is not "compatible with adjacent existing and future
developments. "
We question whether it meets D that "all necessary municipal utilities, services,
and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed development." Existing water run-off
already taxes the stonn drain system. More impervious cover will only increase the
problem. Water pressure and availability has also not been addressed.
Item E deals with anticipated traffic levels and the street system. The traffic
issues don't appear to have been completely dealt with. What will the impact on the
connecting roads be? Will there ~ degradation in street rating due to this project? What
about a stop light at Laurel and Boulevard? What mitigation will be required of the
developer?
The Zoning Code is clear in its purpose. 17.01.01O-B states the need to protect
the character and maintain the stability of residential "areas within the city and to
. promote the orderly and appropriate development of such areas." Placing such a high
density development in an RS-9 area of single family homes certainly doesn't do that.
167
D emphasizes the importance of sustaining natural landscapes and habitats for
fish and wildlife. This serves a large variety of birds and animals. G seeks "to prevent
the over crowding of land and undue concentration of structures" to preserve the natural j
. landscape. A project of this scale will have an extreme impact on the natural landscape
and the creatures that live there.
..
Item 0 deals with many ofthe neighborhood's concerns about this project. The
mandate is to avoid or mitigate significant adverse impacts such as hazardous materials,
air and water pollution. noise. traffic. outside storage, large structures, and public safety
problems which can be associated with specific land uses and thereby reduce conflicts
between adjacent land uses.
Our neighborhood is defmitely not in favor of such a high density project. It is
inappropriate for the area People are not opposed to development, but they are opposed
to such an extremely dense concentration oflower value homes. It simply doesn't fit.
We hope the Planning Commission will consider all these factors in making their
recommendation. There are other areas that would be a better fit.
The PRD as proposed doesn't even appear to meet the zoning requirements it is
supposed to adhere to. We hope that these comments and the letters and calls from the"
neighborhood will demonstrate how deeply this project is opposed by those who will be
most clearly impacted by it.
Sincerely,
.

Regarding
PlalU1ed Residential Development
For lots at the corner of Laurel and Ahlvers
lIE lG IE ~ \VIlE ~j I
l JUN 2 5 2IIlfj 1l!J I
CITY OF PORT ANGELES I
Dept. of Community De\l.elojlment i

Greetings,
We are concerned about the proposed development at the south end of Lame I
Street and the west end of Ahlvers. According to the posted notice 147 dwellings will be
built. The current Laurel Street is not adequate to accommodate that increase in traffic
without significant changes.
The increase in traffic on the current street will not allow for safe, comfortable
pedestrian access for children, the elderly, and the rest of the neighborhood. The
neighborhood has a school, 2 churches and another proposed school. All ofthese entities
have pedestrian traffic that the proposed development will affect with the increase in
traffic.
The City of Port Angeles must require that this development provide a "complete
street" for traffic calming to slow down the passing of vehicles to provide for safe,
comfortable pedestrian access up and down Laurel and Ahlvers. The city needs to
require that the development create a "complete street", a street that works for motorists,
for bus riders, for bicyclists, and for pedestrians, including people with disabilities. A
complete streets policy is aimed at producing roads that are safe and convenient for all
users.
South of Park Street there are no sidewalks and the road narrows from View Crest
south and is barely adequate for the increase in traffic already present from the
Independent Bible Church at the south end of Laurel. Currently, due to the lack of
sidewalks the pedestrians and joggers have to share the road with the cars.
The intersection of Laurel and Lauridsen Blvd at times is difficuh to get through heading
north, the wait is often 8-10 cars on a school day as Laurel is a gateway to the High
School, adding an additional 147 households is mind boggling without some major
reconstrUction and city planning. Who will pay for all oHhis planning and restructuring?
Since the development is going to significantly increase the traffic by 1,000 cars a day,
the developer needs to be financially responsible for any measures taken to create a
traffic calming safe, comfortable pedestrian access.
.
I am not totally familiar with the parcel ofland under consideration, but I think it
is quite close to Valley Creek that has just been through a major restoration, returning a
salmon run. It would be very unfortunate to destroy all that with a development pouring
run off into the river. I would think that the parcel must be a wetland as well.. In
addition, the flow of water after a storm down Laurel Street is tremendous, frequently
more than the current storm drains are able to handle, adding a large amount of asphalt
and removing a lot of vegetation will certainly make a tremendous impact on the water
drainage for the area
Some plan needs to be made to accommodate the increase in homes. This
proposal comes at the same time as another proposal at the other end of Ahlvers where an
additional 40 + homes are being considered.
.
170
.
,;. ~' ",... i
I recently visited a neighborhood on Mercer lSland. The street was adequate in
size, it had a lot of vegetation providing shade and beauty, additionally a pedestrian! bike
pathway parallel to the street, separate from the asphalt providing a safe space for
children to walk or ride their bikes. I sincerely hope that the city planners of Port
Angeles will keep the beauty ofthe area in mind in its plans, and not allow developers to
take on the "planning by default" that would occur when plans such as this one is allowed
to take over a neighborhood.
Sincerely,
Michael and Ileana Haggerty

Re: Planned Residential Development Acreage at Ahlvers & Laurel
To Whom It May Concern,
As a neighbor to the propose development, I feel that this projects impact to the area would
be disastrous. At the initial presentation, it was indicated that this project will increase the
traffic in our area by more than 1,000 cars per day. The streets are not designed to handle
such an increase which means that an LID, which all of us will have to pay for is also a
certainty. Our neighborhood is a single family residential and should stay that way. Allowing
this huge anomaly in the middle of this, is not in the best interests of our community.
If this proposed development would be in line with the existing developments in the area,
subdivided into lots like that of galaxy circle or mill creek co~rt, the environmental impact
would not be as great, water quality issues, water run off, and impact to valley creek. .
I hope that the city requests a full Environmental Impact Statement & Study, before the
project is voted upon. I look forward to attending all public hearings concerning the
development of the property.
Sincerely,

Re: Page Property Development '
I am writing this letter as we have grave concerns over the proposed Planned
ResidentialDeve1'bpmertt next to our property' on West Ahlvers.
We are prepa.ring a written statement to the Planning Commission addressing the
many concerns we have. It is clear from attending the developer's meeting on Thursday;
March 31,2005 at the IBC Church that no one at that meeting, other than the developer
and the realtor, were in favor of this proposal. There was a lot of anger and fear and my
wife and I were appalled at what we heard and saw from the developer.
The density of the development was one of the major objections. The combination
of single family homes,duplexes, and fourplexes in this primarily single family area
creates an inappropriate anomaly. For some unexplained reason, the zoning was changed
on the proposed development site. There was no public notice that this was going to be
discus~ed so that the people in the area who would be impacted by this could have an
opportunity to comment on it. It just happened at a City Council meeting. This zoning
change apparently allowed for smaller lot sizes and zero lot lines which translates into
smaller, more dense home sites. This is in direct conflict with the surrounding community
of standard' .lot sizes and single family dwellings. Additionally, as you are aware, there
are m,any homes within a ~ mUe radius with much larger lo~ sizes and even acreage. This
development would stand in stark contrast to our community.

many homes clustered right nextto Valiey Creek. VaHey Creek is an hriportant watersned
stream for our city. We must be assured that real harm is not done to the water, stream
side zones, and our harbor. A large cluster development along su~h a, stream is simply not
appropriate.
.
The developer indicated that because ofthe allowed small lot sizes, contractors
will have to build smaller' homes. The square footages for th~ duplexes and fourplexes
will also be ~mall. There was also a lot of concern about much of this development

becoming rentals. In fact, one contractor who. lives in the neighbarhaad tald the
develapers that's exactly what most' of these 'dwellings would be-"Iower income rentals".
The perception is that this will create a concentration of societal problems in an otherwise '.
quiet cammunity. No one wants such a high density of potential, if not probable, rental
properties. I have to agree with this concern among the homeowners here. We moved to
our hame on Ahlvers to. avoid such problems. Whether or not this will be the case, the
community again, senses this is exactly what will happen.
The problem with this praposed development runs much deeper than the
development itself..r don't-think anyone really has any objection to seeing the Page'
faJl1ily sell their property. to a develo.per. They certainly have every right to do so. I also
don't think anyone has objections to seeing homes provided for most income ranges.
People do, however, object to sllch high cql}fentration.s and density of sma"l.llots, small
homes includiii.'g duplexes and fourplexes that are likely to ~ecome rental properties in
suc.h an otherwise open space community-bringing with it a'll the environmental issues of
noise, air, soil, and water pollution, traffic, safety, and societal problems. To try and
,understand how such a development is even possible takes us to the root of how we got
here today. Ask yourself \vho benefits the most from the project. The future homeowners
or rente'rs? Possibly, but tbe'j-e is a good arguh1ent that other housing.9ptiolls exist, that
there are more practical and appropriate locations, and that other income levels have real
housing needs as well. So' who ie'ally benefifs from' it'? My gU'ess is first ana foremo'st
those who. have financial stakes in seeing it happen- such as realtors, developers, and the
builders 'and' suppliers. '
There are some questions that need to be answered. Who changed the zoning on
the parcel and why wasn't this subj eCr to pubHe comment? Whe' deoided, that because. .
Valley Creek runs through this property that the density of the structures can be increased
and that so many bomesites can be packed in in order to maximize the developers return?
Valley Creek has existed since before man wa.lked on this earth. When the
Pag.es~ bought the property; they didn.'t, farm along it: It. gr-ew timber a:s it has, for ,
millenniums. Itj'ust existed, nonusable except for the benefits of great value it provides.
Now, OllT laws have.aHDwed-those-withan a:genoa to dill,lliis CJ:eation an' "Open .space"
'thereby allowing higher th~ i16rmal, (knsitie~.to'b~ cfGstered adjacent to it. The Open ~
Space a~ea concept should not be used'to allow for higher density, clustered development
as it can ~e just as detrimental if not more due to the concentration adj~ining it. This truly
doesn't seem to pr.otect the OpenS.pace as it was intended.
, When the realtor and developer walk away from this, we, the community of Port
A1?g~e?;' :\\,g.l.. ~i;ve .~$', ~~e j~paGt:?: of $is-:qevelop~ept for ~n~ratien~..lt .must be done
to the best of our technical. and political resources. This proposal has a high probability of
bec.oming.a.r.eal black ~y~ 1o.the .community...No1.all.dev.elopments .dn. Many .are very
well done and leave the community with a sense of pride and accomplishment. The
property inqJ,lestion has tremendous potential for both develoner and community. We
need to look at what is really important when we balance property rights with community
values. This is somethin,g sorely lacki~g in Clallam and Jefferson counties. All the
177
,;
stakeholders need to corne together to insure that the values we hold so dearly are
protected. Land should never be worth what one group has an agenda for, but for what a
community tHat has to live within and around that land has a reasonable expectation for it
to be.
.
The property for planned development is one qfthe most desirable'in the area
according to many local realtors, It is s be-autiful tree fann \lfith some pi'.sture land vvith
Valley Creek running through one corner of it. The property has a great mountain' view. It
js basically flat y..dth, a depressiOJ.:! on the Northeas: sjde creating a wetlarid eoyjr0nmenL ,
Valley Creek has cut a steep draw on the westem sid~ of (he property. I 'would encourage
each of the council members and planners making decisions on this property to visit it
a.nd do a walk around to get a fuller understanding of ~\'hat is at stake here. Also, while in
the area they sITuul'dto'ok'at the community surrounding this along Ahlvers, Old Mill
Road, Hawthorne, Galaxy, Peabody and Laurel and consider fully why such a
development would be of such grave concern to the local residents and why there are
slIch negative feelings toward the project.
Please consider this carefully, rnserting such an anomaly into a single family
residential area should be avoided. A full environmental impact, at th~ very least should
be required due to the many problems this large a devefopment would create from so
many standpoints. Water issues, traffic issues including the certain LID, noise, smoke,
societal prohlems, and just the sheer density of the project need to be addressed and
answered fully before this project is approved or allowed to proceed.

Re: Planned Residential Development Acreage at Ahlvers and Laurel
Dear Scott,
I am writing this letter in opposition to the currently planned development on the 34 acres
ne>..'! to our home. The entire neighborhood has grave concerns about the negative
impacts this development will bring.
I would liketo list the concerns Wendy and I have, but by no means is this inclusive of .,
all impacts the project brings.
First and foremost we are concerned about security and the inevitable societal problems
associated with such a high density of low income rental properties. As you know, these
are. small lots, small homes and smal1'square footage duplexes and four-plexes.
..
No aspect ofthis development fits in our community of Peabody, Laurel, Ahlvers, Old
Mill and the numerous side streets. After all is said anddone and the developer walks
away the city of Port Angeles will have to live with all of the problems this development
will create for generations to come. This will be a black eye to the city.
Air quality: As mentioned at the IBC Church meeting, for some reason fog lays in this
acreage more intensely than any-.-yhere else that we see around Port Angeles, possibly
cold air drainage being trapped. Such high a density of dwellings will most likely cause
major air quality problems. Wood burning stoves would be a disaster.
Noise pollution: Because ofthe high density of dwellings with little or no trees remaining
and the geographical configuration of the land, this will be a very noisy location and not
the quiet neighborhood it is now.
Water quality of Valley Creek and associated runofffrom development: Because of the
high density of dwellings and less impervious soils and bio-filters, this development can't
help but be a huge point source of pollution. Valley Creek will suffer ultimately from the
close proximity of dwellings and people at such high densities.
.-
180
j i. "
.
Traffic: This is a major concern as you witnessed at the IBC meeting. Residents of our
area should not have to pay for fixing our streets to accommodate the projected 1,000 car
units per day coming out of this development. This is wrong! If the proposed plan'goes
through, there will be substantially more vehicle traffic than a normal dwelling density
community, therefore, major impact fees should be assessed the developer for these street
enhancements ifthe development proceeds.
Tree and plant communities and associated wild life: The plan we looked at and the
response from the developer indicated there would be no trees left. I am not surprised
given the small lots and "0" lot lines proposed. Because we live where we do, it seems
unimaginable that a new development would not take advantage of the existing flora,
especially on the Page property as it is a tree farm. Having lived next to this property for
17 years, we have seen the property teaming with wildlife both large and 'small. Valley
Creek is a major habitat area for many species. While any development will disturb this
environment, the proposed one will totally destroy it. I would hope that if the developer
can't see past his pocket book, the City will at least require some trees to be left. Talking
with other developer friends of mine, it seems likely that there is a substantial profit on
this development; hopefully, something will be left to mitigate the impacts besides a
"cluster housing concept."
.
Wetland area: What happens to the wetland area on the north side of the development
along Ahlvers? Is it just filled in and built on? Are the natural springs ignored? How is
this water to be dealt with? As you know, there is a bowl effect there with the potential
to have a lot of water after the development. We have a small pond next to west Ahlvers
that gets its water from the wetland area on the Page property via a culvert. We think this
is an :important pond as we have Wood Ducks nesting and Mallards feeding and raising
hatches around it. Great Blue Herons use the pond, raccoons and deer drink from it and
many different species of birds habitat around it. What is to happe,n with my pond?
Our water and sewer: Our water line runs down the north side of west Ahlvers and our
sewer line runs down the south side. Both lines are buried about four feet. Will they be
protected? Will west Alvhers be improved or changed? And how will that impact our
water and/or sewer?
.
Wildfire: With the high density oflower income housing it follows that most of these
dwellings will be rentals with a higher than normal concentration of children. It is a very
real possibility that with so many children, eventually some will end up in the adjoining
timber land owned by the Knellor family. This timber land is contiguous with another
80+ acres of highly valuable timber land. The area has a lot of prior fire history visible.
The southern exposure of the timber will become tinder dry in the summer months and
prone to easy fire starts. The combination of these risk factors makes this a high
probability ofa major fire endangering lives and property will occur. The planned four-
plexes originally are to be located next to this timber edge. Some type of protection
needs to be considered. As a prior Sector Line Boss on the states wildfire team, I have
fought many fires in this state. I think we have a major concern here and some type of
prevention plan needs to be in place.
181
Sewer and water pressure: How will such a dense population impact our water pressure.
and sewer capacities? Who has to pay for any upgrades, the developer or the surrounding
community that doesn't want this dense of a development? .
.
Property Values: Certainly there are arguments on both sides. However, it seems to me
the more reasonable argument is that it will have an adverse effect on property values in
the neighborhood, especially the adjacent properties and those closest to the
development. Ifregular size lots were available with trees being left and average size
homes were being built as we see in so many devel~pments in the area, it follows that
property values would not be adversely affected, they may even be enhanced. I can'tbuy
the argument by the realtor and developer that property values will increase because of
their development.
Because of the many concerns and the variety of impacts o~ the surrounding area, it
seems like a complete environmental impact statement shOlild be required on this project~
Clearly it is not appropriate that a determination of non-sigruficance be granted for this
development. There are too many potential problems and too many unanswered
questions to allow this development to move forward without much more revie':V.
Sincerely,
Fred and Wendy Rix

Weare both very concerned regarding the development of the 34 acres on the west end of
Ahlvers. We are not against development, but we do object to overcrowding and
overbuilding on a piece of property. Lots of 9000 square feet would be a much more
neighborhood friendly type of development. We also are concerned that this is a .
residential (RS-7) area and you are talking of putting in duplexes and townhouses. 'Why
impact a quiet, single family residential area with multiple family housing?
We are also concerned about the wet land area on that property and the affects that the
nm-off from so many houses will have on Valley Creek. The environmental effects need
to be addressed along with the tremendous expense to the present landowners that will be
impacted by the LID. \Videning the Laurel Street fill will also impact Mill Creek. We
find it hard to understand how these environmental issues can be overlooked so someone
can make money selling low income and multiple family housing.
.
Perhaps the developer should have to absorb the cost of the LID that will be required
coming up Peabody and Laurel from Viewcrest and from Peabody to Laurel on Ahlvers.
The"increase of 1 000 cars a day will adversely affect the flow the normal traffic in this
area. On school days it will be impossible to get onto Park from Peabody and the
Laurel/l01 intersection will be a nightmare.
We truly hope you reconsider the developers plans and come up with a plan that is
neighborhood friendly to this particular area.
We believe there is a need for a full Environmental Impact Statement before this project
is voted on.

To whom it may concern:
We are writing in regard to the planned residential development being proposed for the acreage
at Ahlvers and Laurel streets. We are very concerned about this plan. Our neighborhood is made
up of single family residential units and we believe it should stay that way. ;
Of special concern is the amount of traffic this development will create. Our'streets are not
designed to handle the more than 1,000 additional cars per day (as per the project's initial
estimate). Traffic is already difficult at the intersections of Laurel and Highway 1 01, and Laurel
and Park. We foresee many accidents occurring during High School hours!
We are also concerned about potential environmental issues which may be affected, such as
water quality, the impact to Valley. Creek, water run-off, etc. We ask that you require a full
Environmental Impact Statement before this project is vot~d on.
.
While we agree that additional housing is needed in the Pori Angeles area, we urge you to
maintain the caliber of our neighborhood by allowing only single family residential units to be
built on:this property.

Re: Reserve at Valley Creek
Dear Mr. Madsen,
These comments are in response to the recent notice regarding the above-identified project.
Please note that these comments are superficial at best as I will be out of town on business for
the next few days, the period for comments expires during my absence and I have not had an
adequate opportunity to analyze the project or its impacts. I wish, however, to file some
comments in writing before my departure.
My family and I reside in the Galaxy Place neighborhood which is just to the east of IBC Church.
IBC Church property abuts the project area on the east (IBC's west side). The contours of the
area are generally flat, with a slight slope to the north. Immediately south of the neighborhood
the terrain rises into the foothills and just to the north of the neighborhood the terrain slopes'down
to the water. Consequently, the Galaxy Place neighborhood is located largely on a bench.
.
The prevailing weather in the winter months is from the west. When the fog and damp weather of
the winter months sets in, the air is thick with wood smoke and particulate matter from wood
stoves and fireplaces. Because the area is a bench, the stagnant air hangs in the neighborhood
in the generally wind-free winter months.
In the SEPA checklist, the applicant states that there are
Potential emissions from wood stoves and fireplaces at full buildout.
SEPA Checklist, Environment 2A (Air).
The applicant further recognizes that there is the possibility of wood heat at full buiidout. Id. at 6A
(Energy and Natural Resources).
In fact, the applicant is proposing 147 units on a 34 acre parcel. Since much of the parcel will
remain as undeveloped open space as proposed, the entire 147 units will be located on
approximately 17 acres. Full buildout could result in 147 wood stoves or fireplaces if each unit
had at least one. The number of wood burning units would be higher if each residence had two
or three stoves or fireplaces.
The SEPA document identifies Valley Creek ravine and Valley Creek as "environmentally
sensitive areas. Id. at 8 (Land and Shoreline Use).
The Olympic Region Clean Air Agency compiled an AirToxics Emissions Inventory (ORCAA
Report) in December 2003. I have not been able to locate an inventory for 2004 or 2005.
.
186
,;1'
:/,~. :j. ~
.
Wood smoke generates Hazardous .A.ir pollutants (HAP), which are federally regulated', and Toxic
Air pollutants (TAP), which are regulated by the state. HAPs and TAPs are generally defined as
those pollutants that are known or suspected to cause serious health problems, including cancer.
Human exposure to these pollutants can result in cancer, poisoning and rapid onset of sickness.
Other adverse health effects include immunological, neurological, reproductive. developm~ntal
and respiratory diseases. Air taxies deposited onto soil or into lakes an,d streams can adversely
affect ecological systems. Besides breathing polluted air, human health can be impacted further
by exposure to contaminated water, soils, sediments and through consumption of contaminated
food. Exhibit 1 (ORCAA Report at 1, 'excerpt) and Exhibit 2 (Id. at 2, 92.2, excerpt). Woodstove
emissions were greater than total toxics fromautobody, furniture finishing, dry cleaning, door
manufacturing and hot mix asphalt area source categories combined. Id at 1; Exhibit 3 (Id. at
Table 1). The HAPs and TAPs emitted are identified in Exhibits 4~7 (Id. at Tables 3,5,8 and 9).
One writer under the auspices of the ORCAA has.stated that woodstove emissions were nearly
equal to total toxics emissions from all area source categories combined. Aggregated emissions
estimates for residential wood combustion were found to be four or five times higher than
estimates for this category in the National Emission Inventory (NEI). Exhibit 8 (Kelly, John T., A
Comparison of Local and National Air Toxics Emissions Estimates: Regional Importance of
Selected Source Categories, at 4, excerpt). He states further th?t
.
Residential wood combustion [RWC] has been implicated as the prime cause for
violations of the National Ambient Air Ouality Standard (NAAOS) for Particulate Matter
(PM1o) in several areas in the region. Elevated ambient particulate matter levels have' ,
also been associated with a variety of health effects. Presumably, particulate phase air
toxics from RWC contribute (albeit to an unknown degree) to thesehealth effects. While
no quantitative estimate of exposure to RWC"emissionscan be surmised from the data
reported here, the magnitude of the difference between these estimates and those in the
NEI suggests that regional health impact.fromthis source category are likely tobe
greater than.previously thought. '
Id. at 7.
Some of the identified toxins include, but are not limited to:
-Benzene
-Flourene
-Napthalene
-Pyrene
-Toluene
Almost two dozen toxic substances are listed as deriving from the wood burning process.
The Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE) reports that the emissions from burning
wood account for 11 % of the state's air pollution. The wood burning units emits hundreds of
times more pollution than other forms of heat such as electricity, natural gas, or oiL Exhibit 9
(DOE. Focus - Controlling Wood Smoke Pollution at 1, excerpt).
I have appended at Exhibit 10 a document entitled the Health Effects of Wood Smoke
promUlgated by the DOE.
.
The prevailing weather, the stagnant winter air, the adverse health effects of wood smoke and the
sensitive environmental areas militate against permitting the use of wood burning devices (stoves
or fireplaces) in any of the units. The department and the Planning Commission are encouraged
to condition the proposed development so that wood burning devices will not be permitted by
either the developer or subsequent owners of the property.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
With grant assistance provided by Region 10 of the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(EP A), the Olympic Region Clean Air Agency (ORCAA) compiled an air toxics emission inventory of
pollutants regulated under either the federal rules as Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) or under state rules
as Toxic Air Pollutants (TAPs). Emissions were calculated from point sources, on-road mobile sources
and several. of the more significant area and non-point sources within ORCAA's six-county jurisdiction
(Clallam, Grays Harbor, Jefferson, Mason, Pacific, and Thurston counties). The inventory has been made
available in a Geographic Information Systems format on ORCAA's website at: http://www.orcaa.org.
HAPs and TAPs are generally defmed as those pollutants that are known or suspected to cause serious
health problems, including cancer. Air toxics can come from natural sources, such as forest fires. The
majority of toxic air pollutants, however, come from man-made sources such as factory smokestacks that
routinely release chemical compounds into the atmosphere, and from motor vehicles.
Consistent with national trends, on-road mobile sources comprised the largest percentage of toxic
emissions inventoried within ORCAA's six-county region. Emissions from retail gasoline marketing and
residential wood burning also were a significant part of regional toxic inventory. Woodstove emissions
were greater than total toxics emissions from autobody, furniture finishing, dry cleaning, door
manufacturing and hot mix asphalt area source categories combined.
Emissions estimates of HAPs and TAPs from slash burning were found to be much higher than expected.
During the year 2000, total air toxics emissions from slash burning exceeded the total air toxics emissions
for all inventoried point sources in ORCAA's jurisdiction. Slash burning emissions were not included in
the 1999 National Emission Inventory (NEI) Version 2.0. ORCAA emissions estimates for this category
were reported to the Emission Factor and Inventory Group (EFIG) for inclusion in the upcoming 1999
NEI Version 3.0 draft.
With the completed emission inventory ORCAA will be able to estimate health effects attributable to
these emissions using computer dispersion models and monitoring data. This information can also be
used to inform the public about potential exposures, to assist with land use planning, and to create
strategies to reduce the health risk posed by sources that emit toxic air pollutants.
The data collected and summarized within this air toxics inventory project, along with available temporal
and spatial information, is of sufficient quality to allow for a local-based hazard assessment and exposure
modeling study. This modeling study will allow ORCAA to identify "hot spots" of high toxic pollutant
concentrations and to identify pollutants of concern within ORCAA's jurisdiction.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
.
In June of 200 1, as part of a special projects solicitation from Region 10 of the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EP A), the Olympic Region Clean Air Agency (ORCAA) was awarded
a grant to perform a comprehensive air toxics emissions inventory of sources within ORCAA's six county
jurisdiction in western Washingtori State (Figure 1). The purpose of this project was to provide ORCAA
the opportunity to define and develop a more thorough and complete toxics emission inventory. The
Washington State Department of Ecology (WDOE) administered the grant and provided technical
assistance.
Emissions of air toxics from all known point sources, on-road mobile sources and several of the more
significant area and non-point sources were estimated. Point and area source emissions were estimated
for base year 2000. Mobile and non-point source emissions were estimated for base year 1999. The
inventory is intendedto serve as the basis for future exposure modeling and health risk assessment work
at the 10ca11evel.
This report presents a summary of the results of the air toxics inventory. A summary of the types and
amounts of toxic air pollutants estimated in the inventory is presented in Table 1 in the Appendix. Area
and non-point source emissions data developed under this project have been submitted to the EP A
Emissions Factor and Inventory Group (BFIG) of the Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards
(OAQPS) for incorporation into the 1999 National Emission Inventory (NEr). The procedures used and
sources of activity data for the project are also documented.
2.0 BACKGROUND:
2.1 What are Toxic Air Pollutants?
Toxic Air Pollutants are also referred to as air taxies or hazardous air pollutants and/or toxic'
air pollutants. They are generally defined as those pollutants that are known or suspected to
cause serious health problems, including cancer. "Routine" toxic air pollutants are emitted by
a variety of industrial sources, wood combustion, and motor vehicles.
.
Toxic Air Pollutants may exist as particulate matter or as vapors (gases). Toxic air pollutants
include metals, other particles, gases absorbed onto particles, and certain vapors from fuels
and other sources. An example of such a pollutant is benzene, a chemical constituent of
gasoline.
2.2 What are the effects of Toxic Air Pollutants?
v
Exposure to air toxics emissions can be damaging to human health and to the environment.
Human exposure to these pollutants at sufficient concentrations and durations can result in
cancer, poisoning, and rapid onset of sickness, such as nausea or difficulty in breathing.
Other adverse health effects include immunological, neurological, reproductive,
developmental, and respiratory disease. Air toxics deposited onto soil or into lakes and
streams can adversely affect ecological systems. Besides breathing polluted air, human
health can be impacted further by exposure to contaminated water, soils, sediments and
through consumption of contaminated food.

ABSTRACT
The Olympic Region Clean Air Agency (ORCAA) recently perfonned a comprehensive inventory of air
toxics emissions from point, omoad mobile and several important area and nonpoint source categories
within its six county jurisdiction in western Washington state. Base year 1999 nonpoint and area source
emissions data have been submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency for incorporation into
Version 3.0 of the 1999 National Emissions Inventory.
Results of the inventory indicate that emissions of air toxics from several regionally important source
categories may not be adequately represented in the national emission inventory used for modeled
assessments of exposure to air toxics. This paper presents summarized inventory results for Residential
Wood Combustion; Open Burning of Logging Debris and Chemical Pulp Production. The local results
are compared with nationally derived estimates. The report includes a summary and comparison of
pertinent results and discussion about needs for further development of emission inventory data for risk
assessment work at the local level.
INTRODUCTION
In June of2001, as part ofa special projects solicitation from Region 10 of the United States .
Environmental Protection Agency (EP A), the Olympic Region Clean Air Agency (ORCAA) was
awarded a grant to perfonn a comprehensive air toxics emissions inventory of sources within ORCAA's
six county jurisdiction in western Washington state. The inventory will serve as the basis for future
exposure modeling and he alth. risk assessment work at the local level. The Washington State
Department of Ecology (WDOE) administered the grant and provided technical assistance. This report
is focused on emissions estimates for Residential Wood Combustion, Open Burning ofLoggir6l)ebris
(Slash Burning), and Chemical Pulp Production. Estimates for these source categories in the ORCAA
inventory were compared with national scale estimates found in Version 2 of the 1999 National
Emission Inventory (NEI).1 Significant differences were found between the local and national scale
estimates, as detailed below.
METHODOLOGY
The inventory estimated emissions of toxic air pollutants regulated under federal rules as Hazardous Air
pollutants (HAPsl or under state rules as Toxic Air Pollutants (TAPs).3 Area and nonpoint source
emissions data developed under this project have been submitted to the EP A Errlissions Factor and
Inventory Group (EFIG) ofthe Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) for
incorporation into Version 3.0 of the 1999 NEI. Emissions of air toxics from all known point sources,
onroad mobile sources and several of the more significant area and nonpoint sources were estimated.
Point and area source emissions were estimated for base year 2000. Mobile and nonpoint source
emissions were estimated for base year 1999. Details on the emissions estimation procedures used for
the air toxics emission inventory are included in the following sections.

Nonpoint Sources
Residential Wood Combustion (R We)
ORCAA emissions estimates for Residential Wood Combustion (RWC) that were reported for inclusion
in Version 3.0 of the 1999 NEI have since been revised. The new estimates reported here correct errors
in the original dataset which were discovered after submission, and employ the same emission factors
which were used for the NEI estimates.4 These revised emissions estimates are substantially higher than
those previously reported, as detailed in the Results section below. Emissions estimates for RWC were
developed using methods specified in the Emission Inventory Improvement Program (EIlP) series.5 The
EIIP preferred method is to conduct a local survey of woodbuming habits for the study area and to
apply the activity data to AP-42 factors for the category. The activity data for this inventory was
obtained from a regional survey of wood burning habits conducted by Washington State University. 6
Resulting material use rates at the county level (in tons of wood. burned by device type) were derived by
the Washington State Department of Ecology and provided to ORCAA for use in the current inventory. 7
Open Burning of Logging Debris (Slash Burning)
Emissions estimates for Open Burning of Logging Debris were developed using the EIlP preferred
method.8 Activity data for emission year 1999 was obtained from the Washington State Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) in tons of slash consumed for every burn permitted by the department.9 HAP
speciation profiles for landc1earing burning were used as representative of the emissions profile for slash
burning, as recommended in the EIlP documents. The activity data was then summed at the county
level and speciated emissions for this source category were calculated.
Point Sources
Point source emissions for sources under ORCAA's jurisdiction were based on required annual emission
inventory data reports submitted by the sources. Emissions of air toxics were estimated for all sources
subject to the Title V Air Operating Permit (AOP) program, including twelve major sources and eleven
synthetic minor sources. Another ten intermediate level sources not subject to federal permitting
requirements were included in the point source inventory. .Available toxic emissions data on file with
ORCAA was supplemented by new information developed during the project. New estimates of toxic
air emissions were made of all significant industrial boilers under ORCAA's jurisdiction using recently
revised AP-42 HAP factors.10 The Washington State Department of Ecology Industrial Source Section
has direct jurisdiction for all Chemical Pulp Production facilities located in the state.11, 12 Two such
mills located within ORCAA's six county jurisdiction were not directly inventoried by ORCAA staff.
Ecology provided ORCAA with all available air toxics data for emissions year 2000 for these sources.13
the dataset consists of speciated emissions of ten (10) HAPs from only one of the mills, totaling fifty-
nine (59) tons for calendar year 2000. The other mill did not report any HAP emissions. No
documentation was provided on how these emissions were calculated or derived. At the national level,
Version 2.0 of the 1999 NEI includes facility-specific estimates of air toxics emissions for this sector?
These estimates have been carried forward from the 1996 National Toxics Inventory (NTli4 and were
generated by the Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) in developing the Pulp and
Paper Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) Standard.1s
Area Sources
Emissions were estimated for the following source categories: autobody refinishing, fiberglass
reinforced plastic boat manufacture and repair, furniture manufacturing and refmishing, gasoline
distribution and perchloroethylene dry cleaning. Activity data was obtained from direct mail surveys
and.source-reported throughput data. Operators were asked to provide detailed information on the
amounts and types of materials used, application methods and any controls used. The operators were
requested to provide MSDS sheets and material use rates for the predominant materials used. Emissions
were estimated by material balance using reported material usage and data from the MSDS sheets.
Where detailed information was not provided, materials reported by other sources in the category were
assumed to be typical of materials used by the n1990rting businesses.
Mobile Sources
Mobile source air toxics emissions were estimated based on activity data and modeled emissions
supplied by WDOE, and emission profiles developed for national scale air quality trends reports.
WDOE provided 1996 base year criteria pollutant data from a recent run of the Mobile 6.0 model for
ORCAA's counties.? The modeled VOC data was speciated (for HAPs only) based on national scale
VOC and toxic emissions fractions.16 The speciated 1996 data was then prorated to 1999 levels based on
predicted increases in emissions due tu greater Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMf) and anticipated emissions
reductions attributable to new regulations.17 r
RESULTS
Emission Inventorv Overview
An overview of the aggregate emissions of an HAPs and TAPs for the entire inventory dataset is
presented in Figures I and 2, and Table 1. Point and Area sonrce emissions are for emission year 2000
Other source category emissions are for emission year 1999. Mobile source emissions equaled fifty
eight percent (58%) of all emissions inventoried. Nonpoint sources combined accounted for twenty two
percent (22%) of the total. Area sonrces accoooted for only six percent (6%) of emissions; with point
sources comprising the remaining fourteen percent (14%).

Residential Wood Combustion
Residential woodstove emissions were nearly equal to total toxics emissions from all area source
categories combined. These emissions were also found to be..dramaticaily out of range with nationally
developed estimates. Aggregated emissions estimates for Residential Wood Combustion were found to
be four to :five times higher than estimates for this category in the NEI. A summary of the differences
between local and national estimates across the six counties appears in Table 1 below.

Controlling Wood Smoke Pollution
.
Background
Washington's wood heat regulation implements the 1991 Legislature's Clean Air Washington Act. The
1991 legislation restricts indoor burning and emphasize education and enforcement to control wood stove
pollution.
Pollution from wood smoke
Nearly half of Washington' s households have wood burning devices. During the past 20-25 years the
number of wood stoves, fIreplaces, pellet stoves, and fireplace inserts in Washington State has grown
rapidly. Wood burning units can emit hundreds of times more pollution than other forms of heat such as
natural gas, electricity, or oil.
Heating with wood accounts for about 11 percent of Washington's air pollution on an annual basis. The
impact of this pollution is much larger for two reasons:
. Virtually. all of it is released during winter months. It takes just half the year for wood smoke to
become Washington's third leading source of air pollution.
. A common feature of Washington's winter. climate is stagnant air. Wood smoke does not disperse
under such conditions. It is trapped near the ground and accumulates in the neighborhood air.
.
Wood smoke and health
The smoke from wood burning devices can cause serious health problems. Breathing air containing wood
smoke contributes to cardiovascular problems; lung diseases like asthma, emphysema, pneumonia and
bronchitis; irritation of the lungs, throat, sinuses and eyes; headaches; and allergic rear-tions. Those with
the greatest health risk from wood smoke include infants and children, pregnant women and people with
lung and heart diseases.
There are hundreds of chemical compounds in wood smoke, including many that are irritating and
potentially cancer-causing. Wood smoke pollutants include nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, organic
gases and particulate matter. University of Washington studies show decreased lung function and
increased respiratory disease in both healthy and asthmatic children exposed to wood smoke in some
Seattle neighborhoods.
Particulate matter, the fine material that makes up smoke and soot, may be the most insidious component
of wood smoke pollution. Most of these particles are so small that when inhaled they get past the hairlike
cilia that protect the air passages of the lungs. They can lodge in the deepest part of the lungs, where the
blood takes on oxygen. The particles can cause structural and biochemical changes, including scarring of
the tissue. Many of the particles are toxic. Death rates in several U.S. cities have been shown to increase
with higher levels offine particulate matter in the air.

Health Effects of
Wood Smoke
-
INTRODUCTION
The smell of wood smoke evokes fond memories for
many people, but for others it has become a danger
signal. Wood smoke, largely from wood stoves, has
become a major part of the air pollution problem in
the United States. Smoke is composed of many small
particles of carbon compounds from the burning of
organic matter such as wood or coal. These small
pieces of Organic matter from smoke, along with dust
and other small particles of solid and liquid matter
suspended in the air, are called particulate !}latter.
Particulate matter is regulated by the federaV.govem-
ment as one of the principal air pollutants.
In Washington State wood stoves and fireplaces
release 10 percent of the total air pollution (see pie
chart).llparticulate pollution from wood stoves is
produced mostly in the winter when stagnant air and
temperature inversions limit air movement, "trap-
ping" the pollution close to the ground and keeping it
in our breathing space.
A growing body of evidence suggests that we cannot
ignore the medical consequences of extensive expo-
sure to wood smoke. This bo"oklet presents some
current air quality data, and information extraeted
from medical research on the healthetTects of house~
hold and neighborhood wood smoke.

WHAT IS
WOOD SMOKE?
Wood smoke is a complex mixture of substances produced
during the burning of wood. The major emissions from wood
stoves are carbon monoxide, organic gases (containing carbon
or derived from living organisms), particulate matter, and
nitrogen oxides. Wood smoke contains many organic
compounds known to cause cancer (such as benzopyrenes,
dibenzanthracenes, and dibenzocarbazoles), and other toxic
compounds (such as aldehydes, phenols, or cresols). The
patticulate fraction is composed of solid or liquid organic
compounds, carbon char (elemental or soot carbon -- similar
to charcoal), and inorganic ash!

WHY IS WOOD
SMOKE A PROBLEM?
The particles in wood smoke are too small to be filtered by the
nose and upper respiratory system, so they wind up deep in
the lungs. They can remain there for months causing struc-
tural damage and chemical changes. Poisonous and cancer-
causing chemicals often enter the lungs by adhering to tiny.
particulate matter (such as wood smoke particles).
These tiny particles are emitted in neighborhoods, both
indoors and out, where people spend most of their time.
Unfortunately, wood smoke is not only in the outdoor air we
breathe. The particulate matter in wood smoke leaving
chimneys is so small that it is not stopped by closed doors rnd
windows, and often seeps into neighbors' houses. Even. mf~re
.,.jmoke is sometimes released inside homes which. heat with
ct'ood.

GENERAL EFFECTS
OF W.OOD SMOKE
Wood smoke exposure causes a decrease in lung function
and an increase in the severity of existing lung disease with
increases in smoke concentration or exposure time.1 It also
aggravates heart conditions and carbon monoxide (a compo-
nent of wood smoke) causes heart pain. The OCCUlTence of
respiratory illness in children has been shown to increase
with increased exposure to wood smoke. This includes
lower respiratory infections such as acute pneumonia, or
bronchiolitis, which are major causes of disease and death in
young children.1I Wood smoke aggravates asthma, emphy-
serna, pneumonia, and bronchitis. It irritates the eyes and
triggers headaches and allergies. Long-term exposure may
lead to emphysema, chronic bronchitis, arteriosclerosis, and
nasal, throat, lung blood, and lymph system cancers (based
on anima) studies). 1.U7.l!.17

WHAT PARTS OF.
WOOD SMOKE
CAUSE PROBLEMS?
trachea
Many organic compounds are produced by combustion of
wood. Some bum completely, some are changed chemically,
and some leave the stove without burning. Some of these
compounds deposit in the chimney as creosote, some
condense as very tiny particles of smoke, and some are
released into the air as gases. Some of these organic com-
pounds are poisonous, some irritate the respiratory tract, and
some may cause cancer or mutations. The primary pollutants
from wood smoke are carbon monoxide, particulate matter,
and organic gases (including aldehyde gases such as acrolein,
which is a serious respiratory irritant).

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas produced when
any carbon-containing fuel such as gasoline or wood is
burned. It reduces the ability of blood to carry oxygen to
body tissues. High exposures can lead to death. Lower levels,
common in highly polluted urban areas, lead to increased
hospitalizations for individuals with heart and circulatory
disease, lower birth weights, and increased deaths of new-
borns.3
Particulate matter larger than 10 microns in diameter collects
in the upper respiratory system (throat and nose) and is
eliminated by sneezing, coughing, noseblowing, spitting, or
the digestive system. The particulate matter from wood
smoke is a much more serious health threat due to the small
particle size. Wood smoke particles are less than 10 microns
(a micron is one millionth of a meter) in diameter. Most of
them are less than 2.5 microns in diameter; The period at the
end of this sentence is about 500 microns in diameter.

Wood smoke particles are so small that they get past the cilia
or hair-like structures on the respiratory tract cells. Cilia clear
mucous and catch and help remove larger particulate matter
from the lungs with a rhythmic motion. Tiny wood smoke
particles evade the cilia and collect in the most remote por-
tions of the lungs, called alveoli - the tiny air sacs where
oxygen enters the blood stream. Wood smoke particles cause
structural and chemical changes deep in the lungs. Other
toxic and cancer causing compounds can attach to the small-
est smoke particles and enter the lungs at the same time.
Because of the health threat from tiny particulate air pollu-
tion, the federal government regulates all particulate matter
less than 10 microns in diameter (PMI~ as one of six major air
pollutants.
Irritants in wood smoke (such as phenols, aldehydes,
quinones, nitrogen oxides, anq sulphur oxides) contribute to
health problems in the respiratory tract. Irritants interfere
with the cilia and disrupt the flow of the particle-trapping
mucus strean1, resulting in more particulate matter entering
the lungs. Exposure to wood smoke irritants can lead to
inflammation and pulmonary edema (swelling of lung
tissue). Irritants can also cause allergic reactions and may
contribute to long-term health effects.'

WOOD SMOKE
AND CANCER
The cancer threat from air pollution is a serious public health
concern. Most of the wood smoke cancer research before 1985
focused on identifying the components of soot or the particu-
late portion of wood smoke, including carcinogens such as
benzo(a)pyrene, best known from tobacco smoke research.
The fIrst known human carcinogens were from coal tars and
chimney soot. The particle or soot component of air pollution
has been clearly implicated as a human carcinogen from
studies of human cancer victims."
Many substances on the U.S. EnvirolUllental Protection
Agency's (EP A) priority pollutant list, many suspected
human carcinogens, co-carcinogens (cancer initiators ~r
promoters), and cilia-toxic agents (poisonous to the halr-.
i'Jquipped cells which fIlter most particles out of the resp1ra- u
-~)fY tract) have been identified from wood smoke particles..
~owever, many of the compounds in wood smoke particles
have not been identified and even less is known about the
toxic organic gases which are also released by wood burning.
Burning of fossil fuels, wood, tobacco, or garbage produces
hundreds of different compounds associated with the soot, or
particle phase of air pollution. Also produced are many
gaseous compounds which are carcinogenic, such as benzene,
aldehydes, alkenes, and numerous semi-volatile organic
compounds.21 Recent research has focused on the health
effects from wood smoke as a whole, rather than further
studies of its component parts.
In 1985 the EP A started a major long-teon research program
to clarify the sources of air pollution and population exposure,
and to estimate future cancer risk (the Integrated Air Cancer
Project. II Studies include human cancer victims, as weJl as
laboratory mice, and bacteria and mammal cells exposed to
the total mixture of particulate matter from urban air samples.
14
.
.
This research found motor vehicles and wood stoves to be' the
major sources of cancer risk from particulate air poJlution in
all the urban airsheds studied. 8,3'
Human cancer risks have now been estimated for lifetime
exposure to diesel vehicle, leaded and catalyst-equipped gas
vehicle, wood stove, cigarette smoke, coke oven (coal), and
roofing tar emissions. 13 EP A researchers suggest that the
lifetime cancer risk from wood stove emissions may be 12
times greater than the lifetime cancer risk from exposure to an
equaL amount of. cigar~tte,.,.smo~~. \ye,..fllust k~ep in mind that
this is not actual cancer risk, but rather an esttmate based on
bacteria and. animal studies comparing the potency of wood
smoke to cigarette smoke and other better documented
carcinogens. The lifetime human cancer risk estimates from
exposure to wood smoke and motor vehicle emissions are
theoretical based on such comparative potency tests.
The lifetime cancer risk estimate from exposure to motor
vehicle emissions is more than three times that from equal
exposure to wood stove emissions, based on recent EP A
. . research in Boise, Idaho.. 13 However,. wy. also know that wood
stoves produce much more particulate air pollution in the
winter than motor vehicles in all Pacific Northwest cities
studied by the EP A. ID.lI,ll,3j
With all of these cancer risk estimates we must also keep in
mind that we do not yet have much information on actual
yearly levels of human exposure to various types of particu-
late air pollution.

MUTAGENS
IN WOOD SMOKE
Mutagens cause biological mutations or changes in cells such
as chromosome defects or genetic damage. Mutagenicity is
often used as a screening test for human cancer risk from
compounds in air pollution. However, mutagens and car-
cinogens . are not the same thing and not all mutagenic sub-
stances cause cancer. Motor vehicles and wood heating
emissions cause mutations. These two sources are also major
contributors to the human cancer risk from air pollution. '
A 1988 EPA study found that wood heat and motor vehicle
emissions account for nearly all of the mutagenicity in win. er
air samples from Albuquerque, NM, Raleigh, NC, and
Juneau, AK, over a wide range of climate and wood species. 34
This study found that biplogical mutations in bacteria ex-
I\) posed to winter air samples increased with higher concentra-
- tions of fine particulate matter and were most numerous at
- times of coldest temperatures, weekends and holidays --
when many wood stoves were in use. One would expect this
to be true in Washington State as well.
In the United States more than 30% of mutagenic material
emitted to the atmosphere each year comes from wood
combustion, according to 1981 calculations. Il.14 In Washing-
ton State the contribution from wood smoke is greater than
this national average since Washington has the third highest
percentage of households burning wood in the United States,
behind Oregon and Maine, according to a 1983 U.S. Forest
Service survey. 30

PARTICULATE AIR
POLLUTION AND
DEATH RATES
London's "Black Fog" in December 1952 killed 4,000 people
and led to the British Clean-Air Act. Tiny particulate air
pollution from coal stoves was largely to blame. London is
once again in the news with a new study linking particulate
air pollution to death rates.
This year an EP A researcher applied statistical techniques to
daily particulate air measurements and daily death records ir
London, as well as U.S. cities where daily particulate mea-
surements were available.ll These cities vary vastly in size,
climate, and mixes of air pollutants, including wood smoke.
This study found an increase in deaths by 6% for each 100
micrograms of total particulate ai.r pollution measured.
~
This same EP A study also found that, for every 100 micro-
grams of total particulate per cubic meter of air, the risk of
dying goes up 32% from emphysema, 19% from.)ronchitis
and asthma, 12% from pneumonia, and 9% frorr('cardiovascu-
lar disease. Sulfur dioxide, an air pollutant which has often
been suspected of causing deaths, showed no effect on death
rates. These new findings suggest that particulate matter is
more toxic than ozone (commonly called smog). Confirma-
tion of these findings would make particulate air pollution the
largest known "involuntary environmental insult" and
should encourage a stricter federal pl:l.rticulate standard. 11

INDOOR AIR QUALlTY
Wood smoke does not rise and disperse during winter
temperature inversions. At these times, wood smoke hangs
close to the ground and enters neighbors' yards and houses,
schools and hospitals. Areas with winter atmospheric inver-
sions and valley locations with poor air circulation are most
affected. Wood smoke particles are so tiny that they remain
suspended for long periods of time and readily penetrate into
buildings with incoming cold air, even with today's "air-
tight" construction.
Wood stove fumes are released into the outdoor air through
chimneys, but fumes are also released directly into the homes
where stoves are used. Wood smoke and fumes also enter
homes where stoves are not used. Indoor PM10 levels from
wood smoke in homes without wood stoves reach at least
50% to 70% of outdoor levels, according to a recent University
of Washington study in Seattle and an EPA study in Boise,
~ Idaho neighborhoods. IW
I\)
Wood stove use not only degrades the air quality inside
neighbors' homes, but causes additional air quality impair-
ment in the home using the stove. Klamath Falls, Oregon has
the highest measured PMlO pollution from wood stoves in the
United States. A 1991 study in Klamath Falls by the Oregon
Health Division found that children with wood stoves in their
own homes have even greater declines in lung function than
other children living in the same smoky neighborhood.1I
Indoor and outdoor air can be degraded significantly by the
use of poorly designed noncertified airtight stoves and non
airtight stoves.16.31 Poor burning practices, improper stove
operation, improper stove installation, lack of maintenance,
and burning wet wood create much indoor and outdoor air
pollution even with the newest certified stove models.
Backdrafting and "accidents" while loading fuel or opening
stove doors can cause substantial amounts of indoor air
pollution with any wood stove. Backdrafting can usually be
eliminated by proper stove installation and/or regular
chimney sweeping.
.
.
POPULATIONS
MOST AT RISK
Infants, children, pregnant women, senior citizens,
cigarette smokers and ex-smokers, and all those
suffering from allergies, asthma, bronchitis, emphy-
sema, pneumonia, or any other heart or lung illness
are most affected by wood smoke and are sensitive to
low levels.14.17.17.1S Even the most healthy citizens
. should refrain from heavy outdoor physical exercise
(such as jogging) during periods of very poor air
quality or high levels of particulate air pollution.
Lung ailments are the leading cause of disease and
death in the United States among newborns, account-
ing for 37% of ~ll deaths in the first year of life, ac-
cording to the American Lung Association.. Lung
diseases accounted for 28.3%6f all hospitalizations of
children under 15 in theUnit~d States in 1.988. A total
of 738,000 children in this"age' group were hospital-
ized for lung disease in 1988.!
Wood smoke interferes with normal lung develop-
ment in infants and young children. In addition,
several studies have found that home use of wood
burning stoves increases the risk of lower respiratory
tract infections (LRTls) such as bronchiolitis and
pneumonia in young children.1! LRTls are a major
cause of early childhood disease and death. Parenta~
smoking, especially during the first year of life, is
another well-demonstrated risk factor for lower
respiratory tract infections.' .
J!19
.
A 1990 study of American Indian children found that those
living in homes with a wood burning stove have a higher risk
of bronchiolitis and pneumonia (lower respiratory tract
infections) than children living in homes without wood
stoves. '.11.]' Childhood LRTIs have also been linked with
chronic lung disease in later life. Wood smoke exposure
causes a chronic reduction in lung function, increasing the
rate of decline with age in adults.]!
Researchers at the University of Washington in 1990 docu-
mented more symptoms of respiratory disease in Seattle
preschool children living in high wood smoke residential
areas than in children living in areas with lower wood smoke
levels.' This demonstrates the effect of community wood
smoke pollution on the occurrence of respiratory illness. Tests
have also demonstrated measurable reductions in lung
function among both healthy children and astlunatics in
smoky Seattle neighborhoods in the winter. II

HIDDEN COSTS
OF WOOD HEAT
Most people realize that direct costs of wood heat include tIle
purchase price, installation, and maintenance of the heater. '\
Floor protection, the building permit, installation, fuel supply,
and chimney sweeping are other direct costs. Time spent
cutting, splitting, stacking, and moving wood (as well as
cleaning out ashes and maintaining the stove) are also direct
costs. However, few people realize the possible extent of
hidden or indirect costs.
Indirect costs of wood heat include both fire insurance and
healthinsuranee.Fire insurance costs have been climbing.
The 1984 statistics from the Washington State Fire Marshall
show that nearly half of all fires reported in one and two-
family dwellings were caused by wood stoves or fireplaces.
These insurance losses help push up the cost of insurance on
a home.
Health insurance costs have been rising rapidly in recent
years. Health insurance claims raise the cost of health insur,;
anee. Wood smoke exposure leads to more frequent and
extended hospital visits, as well as more emergency ward or
physician visits, and increased use of medications. Lung
diseases are second only to heart disease as a cause of disabil-
ity under soeiaLsecurity.s Wood smoke adversely affects the
cardiovascular system and heart patients, as well as those
suffering from lung disease.1.3.us.1I

The National Health Interview Survey estimates 25.6 million
people suffer from severe lung diseases such as chronic
bronchitis, emphysema, or asthma. The total number of
deaths attributed to these diseases increased 57% between
1979 and 1987. Lung canc~r now accounts for more cancer
deaths in the United States for both men and women than any
other f01TI1 of cancer.s
WHAT ABOUT
OUTDOOR BURNING
AN"~l)''''~''eE~IlTIFIED~\
WOOD "STOVES?
, l
In 1989 an estimated 85 million people -- more than one-third
of the U.S. population -- were afflicted with chronic respira-
tory disease, from chronic sinusitis to chronic bronchitis and
emphysema.5 The direct and indirect costs of lung disease
were about $45 billion in 1988 according to the American
Lung Association.
Obviously wood smoke does not account for all of the lung
disease in this country. Tobacco, radon, car and truck ex-
haust, asbestos, and other substances share much of the
blame. However, the medical evidence is growing each year
that wood smoke plays a larger role than was previously
~hought, and the tiny particulate matter from wood smoke
.tlfannot be kept out of your home if you live in a neighbor-
hood where there is much wood stove use.
Outdoor burning in Washington contributes roughly two-
thirds as much particulate air pollution as wood stoves do
each year (see graph). Agricultural burning, slash burning,
backyard burning, and burn barrels all' contribute to air
pollution and are becoming more closely regulated under
Washington's new clean air legislation. Outdoor burning is
not as common in the winter when cooler temperatures lead
to inversions and trap wood stove smoke close to the ground
in our neighborhoods; but any time that citizens are exposed
to smoke there is cause for concern.
About 85% of wood stoves in Washington State are not .
certified to meet federal particulate emission standards (based
on a 1990 survey by the Washington State Energy Office).
These noncertified stoves release most of the particulate air
pollution statewide. The newer EP A certified models release
much less smoke although they still require dry wood, and
proper installation, operation, and maintenance to minimize
air pollution. All smoke from any source adds to the air
pollution problem. .

HOW YOU CAN
HELP FIGHT
SMOKY AIR
\
Noncertified stoves should be scrapped if possible. Cleaner
heating methods include the best technology certified wood
stoves, gas stoves or gas inserts, and high efficiency gas and
oil central heating systems. Energy conservation, insulation
and weatherstripping can save money with any heating
system and reduce pollution. Support burning bans and
smoke regulations. Learn about composting, mulching,
recycling, or other smokeless disposal strategies. Any smoke.
or odor from open fires .or from home heating which affects
our neighbors' health or ef1ioyment of their property is illegal
and should be reported to the local county air pollution
control authority.
~ take pride in our quality of life in Washington. In light of
QtITent and ongoing health research, the smell of wood
smoke no longer has the pleasant connotation it once had.
Thoughts of sick children, and lung and heart disease victims
are not pleasant. Less smoke means cleaner air for you, your
family, and the environment.

I am a new resident to the Ahlvers Road area, purchasing my home at
113 B. Ahlvers, last August. ~rom my windows , I see the beautiful Olympics,
The LB.C. church, and the area which is being proposed for development into
home sites. It appears to be a prim~ location for some homes, but I have
several concerns as a result of attending the r.:eeting at I.B.C. earlier this
spring, sponsored by the Realitor and the Developer.
Lot Size- RS-7 seems ?all,' thus creating a"densit~' of homes. Other homes
in this area range from 7200' sq, foot lots to an acre or 1U0re in size.
Transportation flow-- Laurel street, from View Crest south, is currently
a 6he~car road, with lots of dog walking space on 'either side. I would hope
that;the responsibility for street widening, curbs', etc. \-1Ould not fall to
curJe~t property owners, but become the sole responsibility of the developer.
The proposed development could generate more than 600 cars coming and going
each day.
.,Q.vercrowding of a semi-rural area-Are apartments and to'im houses really .
"needed at this site'? I thin.'I{ not. Duplexes bring renters, and many rente'Ts are
'lax to assume upkeep of someone elses property. I feel we need to look further
for~a developer who recognizeS the beautiful potential of this area, anIT vould
encourage only single home development. .
....1 ask you to rezone this area. (most in the neighborhood \-Tere very surprised
arid; disappointed that the prevailing requirements were hasti:i,y passed,
without allowing for public inJut.)

RE: Property Development at comer of Ahlvers and Laurel (Page Property)
Property Development off Rhoads Rd. (Stewart Property)
I would like to think that the City Council is looking out for the citizens. of Port Angeles, not the
developers, especially the ones from out oftown. I for one do not want to see Port Angeles
become another Sequim. I also do not want to pay for a road improvement that the developer or
the city should pay for. They are the ones who benefit, not me.
I realize that we cannot stop growth, however, it can be controlled. The Page Farm has water
problems on a normal year. IfWalMart or someone was going in there, you would have ordered
an Environmental Study, why didn't the City Planning Commissions ask for one. By the time
me gets through with its new building and this development start there is going to be a ground
water problem. There is a natural spring somewhere on the Southern end of the property. Have
none of you walked this piece of property? I know that the Mayors' mother-in-law lives up the
hill, so he must have seen the SUV's stuck in the mud in Pages field. over the years, when the
219
kids used it for 4~wheeling.
...~'l
Please protect this beautiful neighborhood for our ~'tlldkids~1t is your job. It will be too late after
all these houses are built. Some of you grew up here~:,Y au know what this area looked like when
you went to school. Where else in the city can YOU$~~ horses in fields; have to watch out for deer
and their babies and see Bald Headed Eagles f1yin~Aver with the wind currents. Again, please
consider carefully what that many houses will do.I)g you want us to look like Los Angeles or

Re: West Ahlvers Proposed'Planned Residential Development'
Dear Tom,
I write this letter with deep concern over the planned development of the Page property.
One ofthe major issues the community sees with this development concept is the societal
problems that come with cr2mming so niany fourplex's, duplex's and single family
dwellings on smaller than normal lots. Because of zoning and the set back from Valley
Cieek, the developeiis allowed to 'have "0' lot"lines aiJ.d smaller lots. This translates into
smaller homes and multiple family dwellings creating a very dense rental environment.
Many of us feel that when !he developer walks away from this, the community
surrounding this area and the development itself, will suffer from such a high density of
rental property.
.
This planned development is an anomaly to the entire area. There are better suited areas
for such a high concentration bf rental property.
All of us moved to this area because it was free from all the problems of rental
environments. We have regular lot sizes and a feeling of open space. Most importantly
we have a feeling of security. It is a wonderful place to live in Port Angeles. There is
very little crime in our neighborhood and very little traffic safety issues.
There is no doubt in any of our minds that this development will create major traffic
safety issues (the developer eStimates 1,000 car units per day out ofthe developed area).
Nor is there any doubt that a development of this nature will have all of the associated
crime in such a dense and large area oflow income rental and home dwellings.
Tom, I do not think this is good for Port Angeles and certainly this is not good for our
neighborhood. I see nothing but increasing problems for generations to come from this.
I would think this will have a major impact on police and fire services as well.
.
222
.
.
.
I am not against affordable housing. I am for sensible housing that takes into account the ' ,
impacts on the neighborhood in terms.oftrafficissues,crime and fire protection.
Thank you for reading this, Tom. Please feel free to call me if you have any comments or .
questions.
Take care and best regards,
~ci!

Re: Page Property Development
Dear Mayor Headrick & Council Members;
I am writing this letter as we have grave concerns over the proposed Planned
Residen~ial Development next to our property on West Ahlvers.
...., ~~
We are preparing a written statement to the Plmming Commission addressing the
many concerns \ve have. It is dear from attending the de\;eloper's meeting {)n Thursday,
March 31; 2005 at the me Church that no one at that meeting, other than the developer
and the realtor; were in favor of this proposal. There was a lot of anger and fear and my
wife and I \vere appalled at what we heard and saw from the developer.
.', .,'i.
. 'The density of the development was one of the major objections. The combination
of single family homes, duplexes, and fourplexes in this primarily single family area
creates an inappropriate anomaly. For some unexplained reason, the zoning was changed
on the proposed development site. There was no public notice that this was going to be
discussed so that the people in the area who would be impacted by this could have an
opportunity to comment on it. It just happened at a City Council meeting. This zoning
change apparently allowed for smaller lot sizes and zero lot lines which translates into
smaller, more dense home sites. This is in direct conflict with the 'surrounding community
of standard .lot sizes and single family dwellings. Additionally, as you are aware, there
are many homes within a Y:z mile radius with much larger lot sizes and even acreage. This
development would stand in stark contrast to our community.
. .. ."
. . . '. '. .. . . ~ .
, Be~a'~se 'onbe "u:nl.is~al deii'sityofs~an iot 's'i~es"a~d h'umb~~s 'ofb'u'ildihg sites,
there would be ,a substantial impact 01) water runoff because of all th~ impervious cover.
Combine: the' wat=et problems With the' dO'se' proxilniry' t6' Valley Creek and Ibeii'eYe' there
is cause fQr real concerns. In reality, that won't be the , only problem associated with so
many homes clustered right next tD Valley Creek. VaHey Creek is an ilpportant watershed
stream for our city. We must be assured that real harm is not done to the water, stream
side zones, and our harbor. A large cluster development along such a stream'is simply not
appropriate.
The developer indicated that because of the allowed small lot sizes, contractors
will have to build smaller homes. The square footages for the duplexes and fourplexes
will also be small. There was also a lot of concern about much of this development
224
.

becoming rentals. In fact. one contractor who lives in.;\-h~neighborhood told the .
developers that's .exactly what most ofthese .dwellings\vould be-"lower income rentals".
The perception is that this will create a concentration of societal problems in an otherwise
quiet community. No one wants such a high density of potential, if not probable, rental
properties. I have to agree with this concern among the homeowners here. We moved to
our home on Ahlvers to avoid such problems. Whether or not this will be the case, the
community again, senses. this is exactly what will happen.
The problem with this proposed development runs much deeper than the
development itself. I don't think anyone really has any objection to seeing the Page
family sell their property to a developer. 'l~hey certainly have every right to do so. I also
don't 'think anyone has objections to seeing homes provided for most income ranges.
People do, however, object to such high concentrations and density ofsmal1 lots, small
homes including duplexes and fourplexes that are likely to become rental properties in
such an otherwise open space community-bringing with it all the environmental issues of
noise, air, soil, and water pollution, traffic,safety, and societal problems. To try and
understand how such a development is even possible takes us to the root of how we got
here today. Ask yourself who benefits the most from the project. The future homeo.wners
or renters? Poss'lbly, but there isa good argUYneltt that other ho'using optiohs exist, that .
there are more practical and appropriate locations, and that other income levels have real
housing nee'ds"as well. So\vho te.ally benefits from' it? My guess is first and foreroD'st
those who have financial stakes in seeing it happen- such as realtors, developers, and the
builders 'and suppliers.
" There are some questionsthat1J~,<1d to be ans~ered. Who changed the zoning on
the parcel and :why wasn't this subj ect to public' comment? Whe decided that because.
Valley Creek runs through this property that the density of the structures can be increased
. and that .so many bomesites can be packed in in order to maximize the developer.s return?
Yalley Creek has existed since before man walked on this earth. When the
Pages' bought the property,. they didn't farm along it: It grew timber as it has for
millenniumS. It just existed, nonusable except for the benefits of great value it provides.
Now, our law.s have allowed thos.e with an a&en~.!p..~~.p.this CI:eatioD an "Open .Space".,
thereby allowing higher than noirrialdensities'to be Clustered adjacent to it. The Open
Space area concept should not be used to allow for higher density clustered development
as it can be just as detrimental jf not more due to the concentration adjoining it. This truly
doesn't seem to protect the Open Space as it was intended.
When the realtor and developer walk away from tllis. we, the community of Port
Ang~es;' :\v!.p. ~ive. ,y.'it~ the Jmpa0ts: of this~development f-or gtmerations...ltplust be done.
to the best of our teCluli'cal and political resources. This proposal has a high probability of
be..c.om ing,a..r.eal black ,ey.e..tD.the ..comrnunity...NDt..al1..dev.elopm.ents 00. cMany .are very
well done and leave the community with a sense of pride and accomplishment. The
property in q!Jestion has tremendous potential for both developer and community. We
need to look at what is really important when we balance property rights with community
values. This is somethinE sorely lackin,.g in Clallam and Jefferson counties. All the
225
stakeholders need to come together to insure that the values we hold so dearly are
protected, Land should never be worth what one group has an agendaJor, but for what a
community that has to live within and around that land has a reasonable expectation for it
to be.
.
The property for plarLTled development is one of the most desirable in the area
according to many local realtors, It is a beautiful tree farm\vlth some pasture land with
Vailey Creek running through one cerner cfit. The property has a great mountain view. It
is basically B.a.t wjtb.a de.pression on theNortbe.ast.side creatinga wetJand environment
Valley Creek has cut a steep draw on the western side of the property. I would encourage
each of the council members and planners making decisions on this property to visit it
and do a walk around to get a fuller understanding of what is at stake here. Also, while in
the area they should look at the community surrounding-this along AWvers, Old Mill
Road, Hawthorne, Galaxy, Peabody and Laurel and consider fully why such a
development would be of such grave concern to the local residents and why there are
such negative feelings toward the project.
Please consider this carefully. Inserting such an anomaly into a single family
residential area should be avoided. A full environmental impact, at the very least should
be required due to themany problems thi's Targe a development would create from so
many standpoints. Water issues, traffic issues including the certain LID, noise, smoke,
societa1 problems, and just the sheer density ofthe project need to be addressed and
answered fully before this project is approved or allowed to proceed.

Planned Residential Devel on Ahlvers

Scott K. Johns
Associate Planner
City of Port Angeles, WA 98362
Dear Scott,
It was nice to meet you last Thursday, March 31, 2005, at the Planned Residential Development meeting
regarding the property at Laurel & Ahlvers Streets.
We do have some serious concerns regarding the/Ahlvers/Peabody/Park/Race/Lauridsen Blvd
Roads/Streets potential traffic problems. The High School, Franklin, Jefferson, Peninsula College, private
school at IBC and the six area churches already bring a large concentration of traffic into our area at
given times. The developer expressed the thought that most of the traffic would go down Laurel Street. I
believe that drivers at some given point will take the streets/roads that will get them to their destinations
the quickest and with the least traffic holdups. This will not end up being Laurel Street to Lauridsen Blvd.
We have lived on Peabody Street since 1969. In recent years we have come to experience the INDY 500
on a daily basis. It is difficult to imagine our area streets burdened with another 1000 daily vehicle trips in
and out of this area.
The developer's map regarding the layout of the 4plex Townhouses, duplexes and single family dwellings
was pretty overwhelming. Outside of the assisted living development on Park, the small apartment
complex on Park, there are perhaps only about five to six duplex complexes in the area above Park
Avenue. We are not zoned for multiple dwellings although it looks like the annexation of this property will .
change this. This, in itself, is a difficult concept for those of us that do not want this type of change. The .
developer spoke of benefits to us with the construction of this development. Any benefits will be short
lived and as property owners we will be stuck with the future problems.
Many of the immediate area property owners are folks on fixed incomes. If the street problems end up
with the construction of an LID for that area it would be a financial burden for some of the property owners.
We realize that the Planned Residential Development is in the really pre stages of paperwork but we do
hope that the concerns that we have and those of our neighbors will be weighed as heavily as what the
developer projects and wants to develop on this property.
Please continue to update us on this project.
Sincerely yours,
Karen & Tom Jensen

PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION - BELL AIRE ESTATES
Milwaukee D;ive and lOth
Summary: Review of a 16 unit preliminary subdivision located in the RS-9 Residential
Single Family zone.
Recommendation: Council should concur with the Planning Commission's
recommendation by adoption of the atta~hed ordinance citing the conditions,jindings,
and conclusions that are attached in support of the action.
.
Backl!round / Analvsis:
On December 14,2005 the Planning Commission unanimously resolved to recommend
approval of a 16 lot preliminary subdivision at the intersection of Milwaukee Drive and 10th Street.
The property is located in the RS-9 Residential Single Family zone.
At the December meeting, the Planning Commission discussed Milwaukee Drive
improvements. Concerns were raised with regard to the consistency of improvements to
Milwaukee Drive. The Public Works and Utilities Department has since clarified the requirements
of past developments along Milwaukee Drive and confirmed the necessary requirements for this
project to ensure consistency with the northern portion of Milwaukee Drive. The Public Works
and Utilities Department has further resolved that it will enforce these requirements up to the
intersection of Milwaukee and 10th Street. Staff modified condition 3 to reflect those Public
Works and Utilities development re~uirements. It was further determined that Milwaukee Drive
from 10th Street southwesterly to 18t street shall be developed to Suburban Low Impact Standards:
The recommended conditions of approval as forwarded by the Planning Commission have been
modified to ensure that these standards are upheld.

4. T~~'Revised Code of Washington RCW 58.17 contains the State's guidelines for the
uniform division of land within the State. Section 58.17.110 requires a city to
inquire into the public use and interest proposed to be served by the establishment of
a subdivision and determine if appropriate provisions are made for, but not limited
to, the public health, safety, and general welfare, for open spaces, drainage ways,
streets or roads, alleys and other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies,
sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds, and schools and shall consider all
other relevant facts including sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe
walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school and whether the
public interest will be served by the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall not
be approved unless the city can make written findings that these provisions are
made.
5.
The Port Angeles Public Warks and Utilities Department, Parks and Recreation, and
Fire Departments reviewed the proposed subdivision. Their comments and specific
conditions have been incorporated in the Department's recommendation. Water,

power, garbage pickup, telecommunications, sewer, stormwater, and emergency
services are available within the area and will be provided through conditions to the
preliminary plat.
6.
The subject property is identified as Low Density Residential (LDR) on the Port
Angeles Comprehensive Plan land use map and is located in the City's Northwest
Planning Region.
7.
The Comprehensive Plan requires concurrency at the time of development for
streets, water service, sanitary sewer service, and electrical service (Capital Facilities
Element Policy A.9) and should require concurrency at the time of development for
solid waste collection, stormwater management, telecommunications service, and
emergency service (Capital Facilities Element Policy A.l 0). The proposal has been
reviewed with respect to the Comprehensive Plan and the following Comprehensive
Plan policies are relevant to the proposal: Growth Management Element Goal A~
Land Use Element Goal A, Policy A.2, Goal B, Policy B.l, B.2, B.3, and BA, Goal
C; Transportation Element Goal A, Policy A.3, A.6, B.lO, B.ll, B.14, and R18;

, The purpose of the City's RS-9, Residential Single Family zone is a low density
residential zone intended to create and preserve urban single family residential
neighborhoods consisting of predominantly single family homes on larger than
standard Townsite-size lots. Uses that are compatible with and functionally related
to a single family residential environment may be located in this zone. Because of
land use impacts associated with nonresidential uses, few nonresidential uses are
allowed in this zone and then only conditionally. This zone provides for a variety in
the urban land use pattern for the City's single family residential neighborhoods,
following a curvilinear street system of nonthrough public and private streets with
irregularly shaped lots, minimum 75-foot front lot lines, and 60-foot rights-of-way
for collector arterial streets in large rectangular blocks and usually located in
outlying areas with large tracts of vacant buildable land
9. The site is currently served by West 10th Street and Milwaukee Drive. Access
streets will be improved to low impact development standards. Milwaukee Drive
and West 10th Streets are collector arterials and designated school walking routes.
Milwaukee Drive is also a designated bicycle route. The City's Urban Services and
Guidelines Standards (Section 3G.lOO Street Trees and Landscaping) states that
street trees shall be planted on arterial streets in the City and in other specified areas.
Right-of-way dedication along West 10th Street and Milwaukee Drive is required.
Lots 1-6 within the subdivision shall be subject to The Estates at Milwaukee
Development Reimbursement Agreement for previous utility improvements in the
area.
1:\Subdivisions\Bell Aire Subdivision to City Council.doc
233
10. The City's low impact development standards for suburban areas were adopted in
2003 with the restriction that subdivisions developed under the reduced standards
would not allow for on-street parking. Site development and design for residential
. lots developed under the lower impact standards need to accommodate resident
'. parking and visitor parking on-site.
.
11. The proposal was reviewed with regard to the City's Subdivision Ordinance (Section
r J 6.08 P AM C) which provides specific design standards which are expected of
-; subdivisions within the City limits while the City's Urban Services Standards and
Guidelines indicates that street trees should be planted along arterial streets and
provides guidance for such placement and tree species. The design standards
,identified in Section 16.08.060 F P AMC state that street trees are a protection
.. against excessive heat and glare and enhance the attractiveness and value of abutting
~ property. The City will assist the subdivider in location of trees and species to use'
under varying conditions. It is recommended that trees be planted inside the
property lines where they are less subject to injury, decrease the chance of motor
...accidents and enjoy more favorable conditions for growth. If trees are to be planted
within a planting strip in the right-of-way, their proposed locations and species to be
used are to be submitted for review and approval by the City.
12.
There are no 'environmentally sensitive areas on the site. The site has a minimal
slope to the south. The site is not considered a frequently flooded area and is not
listed on the Federal Emergency Management Act (FEMA) maps which denote
those areas that are within 100-year flood areas.
.
13. The owner of a construction site which disturbs a total of five acres or more of land
area that has a discharge of stormwater to a surface water or storm sewer system
must apply to the State Department of Ecology for a General Permit for Stormwater
Discharge Associated with Construction Activities. The proposed site is 4.29 acres
in area.
14. Building permits are required for all structures within the subdivision. All local
building and Fire Codes shall be complied with during construction including
residential sprinkler systems.
15. The Port Angeles School District has been notified of the development to allow them
to plan for needed public school facilities and routes. The Port Angeles School
District provides school bus pick-up for students at Hamilton Elementary School and
Stevens Middle School at 12th and "N" Streets.
16.
The City's Parks Department has noted that they are aware of the preliminary
proposal and do not believe the level of service for the area will be hampered as a
result of the development. The City's LOS for parks and recreational services is 1/3
acre for 1,000 population. An undeveloped wooded property donated to the City for

a park use is located less than 1/4 mile east of the subject site along "N" Street. The
nearest public playground area is located approximately three-quarters of a mile
northeast (Crown Park) or one mile southeast (Lincoln Park).
17.
The site will be served by the City's Police, Fire, and Public Works Departments.
All utilities including potable water, sanitary waste, and refuse collection are
available in the area. Transit service is available along "N" Street east of the site.
18.
The City's State Environmental Policy Act (SEP A) Official issued a Determination
of Nonsignificance for the preliminary subdivision on December 6, 2005, therefore
satisfying the City's responsibility under the Act.
19.
The William R. Fairchild International Airport is located south of the site. Port of
Port Angeles staff has been notified of the proposed subdivision proposal and per
agreement with the Port, it is expected that those who purchase properties in the final
subdivision will be aware of the existing on-going airport operation.
20.
The Planning Commission's decision is a -recommendation to the City Council. The
Commission acts as the City's hearing body for preliminary subdivision approval.
Reports are advisory only to ensure conformance of the proposed subdivision. to the
general purposes of the City's Comprehensiv~ Plan and to planning standards and
specifications adopted by the City.
21.
Property owners within 300 feet of the proposed subdivision were mailed notice of
the proposal on October 25, 2005. The property was posted on October 27, 2005,
and publication appeared in the Peninsula Daily News on October 27, 2005. No
written comments have been received.
Conclusions:
1. As conditioned, the proposed subdivision is consistent with the Port Angeles
Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and Subdivision Ordinance Chapter 16.08
P AMC as well as with Chapter 58.17 RCW, the Washington State Subdivision Act
2. , As conditioned, appropriate provisions have been made for the public health, safety
and general welfare and for such open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys,
other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and
recreation, playgrounds, schools and school grounds, sidewalks and other planning
features that assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from
school.
1:\Subdivisions\Bell Aire Subdivision to City CounciI.doc
235
3.
As conditioned, if improved low impact development suburban street standards are
used, signage educating residents and visitors as to the prohibition of on-street
parking will ensure that interior streets remain passable for public safety situations
where on-street parking could prevent ease of passage for emergency vehicles and
sight distance safety issues. '.'
.
4. As conditioned, the public interest is served in the platting of this subdivision as
articulated in the City's Comprehensive Plan, Subdivision, and Zoning Ordinances.
The subdivision provides for development of new homes within the City of Port
Angeles consistent with the State of Washington Growth Management Act.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The site is located in the City's Northwest Planning Area which covers the western edge
oftown lying beyond Tumwater Creek and north of the airport. This Planning Area is comprised
largely of a mix of older homes transitioning to newer homes farther to the west. There is a
commercial area serving the residents along C Street. A pocket of industrial/commercial
activities are located along the Tumwater Truck Route/Highway 101 junction. This area of town
has limited access because of the Tumwater Creek ravine and the marine bluffs. All streets west
of"M" Street terminate with no outlet to the west of the City limits. The area also has the
239

.
largest segment of undeveloped residential land within the current City limits.
The site is designated Low Density Residential (LDR) on the City's Comprehensive Plan
Land Use Map. Low Density Residential allows an overall residential density of a project to
range up to 7 units per acre and is intended to be for the development of single family homes.
The Comprehensive Plan establishes the long range goals and policies ofthe City. It is
the basis upon which City officials are to make l.and use decisions. Any project proposed in the
City must be consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The entire Plan
was reviewed with respect to the application and the goals and policies identified in Attachment
C to this report are most relevant to the subdivision proposal.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
A Determination of Non-Significance was issued for the proposal on December 6, 2005,
which satisfies the City's responsibility under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA).
PLANNING DIVISION ANALYSIS:
The proposed preliminary subdivision design is based on access directly off of
Milwaukee Drive and West 10th Street. Additionally, a cul-de-sac street entering the property
from Milwaukee Drive will provide access to four (4) interior lots. Lot sizes within the proposed .
subdivision vary from 9,234 square feet to 16,012 square feet in area. The details the lots
proposed are noted in the table below.

The purpose of the RS-9 zone is to provide a "... low density residential zone intended to
create and preserve urban single family residential neighborhoods consisting of predominantly
single family homes on larger than standard Townsite-size lots." The zone provides for a variety
of development in an urban land use pattern for the City's single family residential
neighborhoods and encourages a curvilinear street system of nonthrough public and private
streets.
Widening will be required for full property frontage on both 10th Street and Milwaukee
Drive. The applicant is required to improve 10th Street and Milwaukee Drive to, at minimum,
low impact development standards for arterial streets which will include a 24-foot paved width
with a 4- foot walking area.
The City's Urban Services and Standards Guidelines requires that street trees shall be
planted on arterial streets and provides direction as to the types of trees and spacing. Street trees
will be required on the collector arterial - lOth Street and arterial Milwaukee Drive. City staff is
available to recommend appropriate varieties and spacing for street trees. The applicant's intent
is' to construct the internal cul-de-sac with curb, gutter, and sidewalk.
Clallam Transit busses travel along "N" Street between 1 OthStreet and 18th Street. The'
Port Angeles School District provides school bus pick-up for students at Hamilton Elementary
School and Stevens Middle School at 12th and "N" Streets.
The Revised Code of Washington RCW 58.17 contains the State's guidelines for the
uniform division ofland within the State of Washington. Section 58.17.110 requires a city to
inquire into the public use and interest pr()posed to be served by the establishment of a
subdivision. It shall determine if appropriate provisions are made for, but notlimited to, the
public health, safety, and general welfare, for open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads,
alleys, other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and
recreation, playgrounds, schools, and school grounds, and shall consider all other relevant facts
including sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students
who only walk to and from school and whether the public interest will be served by the
subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall not be approved unless the city can make written
findings that these provisions can be made.
. The preliminary submittal has been reviewed with respect to subdivision standards
required in RCW 58.17.110. The site is served by City water, sewer, telecommunication, police,
; fire, and garbage services. Although no new parks are proposed for the subdivision, a property
donated to the City for future park purposes is located approximately 600 feet to the east at 10th
and "N" Streets. The City's largest park, Lincoln Park, is located along with public ballfields
and the Clallam County Fairgrounds, approximately one mile south of the site. Lincoln Park
playground is more than a mile away along heavily used arterial streets. The Olympic Discovery
Trail is planned along Milwaukee Drive providing additional recreational opportunity. Hamilton
Elementary School and its playgrounds are approximately one-half mile to the east, while Shane
Park is over a mile away to the east and both destinations also require travel along heavily used
arterial streets.
With conditions regarding improvement to local and interior access streets, utilities, and a
requirement for the submittal and approval of drainage plans, the public interest and safety is
served.

8. The purpose of the City's RS-9, Residential Single Family zone is a low density
residential zone intended to create and preserve urban single family residential .
neighborhoods consisting of predominantly single family homes on larger than standard
Townsite-size lots. Uses that are compatible with and functionally related to a single
family residential environment may be located in this zone. Because of land use impacts
associated with nonresidential uses, few nonresidential uses are allowed in this zone and
then only conditionally. This zone provides for a variety in the urban land use pattern for
the City's single family residential neighborhoods, following a curvilinear street system
of non through public and private streets with irregularly shaped lots, minimum 75-foot
front lot lines, and 60-foot rights-of-way for collector arterial streets in large rectangular
blocks and usually located in outlying areas with large tracts of vacant buildable land
9. The site is currently served by West 10th Street and Milwaukee Drive. Access streets
will be improved to low impact development standards. Milwaukee Drive and West lOth
Streets are collector arterials and designated school walking routes. Milwaukee Drive is
also a designated bicycle route. The City's Urban Services and Guidelines Standards
(Section 3G.l 00 Street Trees and Landscaping) states that street trees shall be planted on
arterial streets in the City and in other specified areas. Right-of-way dedication along
West 10th Street and Milwaukee Drive is required. Lots 1-6 within the subdivision shaH
be subject to The Estates at Milwaukee Development Reimbursement Agreement for
previous utility improvements in the area.
10. The City's low impact development standards for suburban areas were adopted in 2003
with the restriction that subdivisions developed under the reduced standards would not
allow for on-street parking. . Site development and design for residential lots developed
under the lower impact standards need to accommodate resident parking and visitor
parking on-site.
.

.
11. The proposal was reviewed with regard to the City's Subdivision Ordinance (Section
16.08 PAMC) which provides specific design standards which are expected of
subdivisions within the City limits while the City's Urban Services Standards and
Guidelines indicates that street trees should be planted along arterial streets and provides
guidance for such placement and tree species. The design standards identified in Section
. ! 16.08.060F P AMC state that street trees are a protection against excessive heat and glare
and enhance the attractiveness and value of abutting property. The City will assist the
, subdivider in location of trees and species to use under varying conditions. It is
recommended that trees be planted inside the property lines where they are less subject to
injury, decrease the chance of motor accidents and enjoy more favorable conditions for
. growth. If trees are to be planted within a planting strip in the right-of-way, their
proposed locations and species to be used are to be submitted for review and approval by
the-City.
12. There are no environmentally sensitive areas on the site. The site has a minimal slope to
the south. The site is not considered a frequently flooded area and is not listed on the
Federal Emergency Management Act (FEMA) maps which denote those areas that are
within 1 OO-year flood areas.
13. The owner of a construction site which disturbs a total of five acres or more of land area
that has a discharge of stormwater to a surface water or storm sewer system must apply to .
the State Department of Ecology for a General Permit for Stormwater Discharge
Associated with Construction Activities. The proposed site is 4.29 acres in area.
14. Building permits are required for all structures within the subdivision. All local building
and Fire Codes.shall be complied with during construction including residential sprinkler
systems.
15. The Port Angeles School District has been notified of the development to allow them to
plan for needed public school facilities and routes. The Port Angeles School District
provides school bus pick-up for students at Hamilton Elementary School and Stevens
Middle School at 12th and "N" Streets.
16. The City's Parks Department has noted that they are aware of the preliminary proposal
and do not believe the level of service for the area will be hampered as a result of the
development. The City's LOS for parks and recreational services is 1/3 acre for 1,000
population. An undeveloped wooded property donated to the City for a park use is
located less than 1/4 mile east of the subject site along "N" Street. The nearest public
playground area is located approximately three-quarters of a mile northeast (Crown Park)
or one mile southeast (Lincoln Park).
17. The site will be served by the City's Police, Fire, and Public Works Departments. All
utilities including potable water, sanitary waste, and refuse collection are available in the
area. Transit service is available along "N" Street east of the site.

18. The City's State Environmental Policy Act (SEP A) Official issued a Determination of
Nonsignificance for the preliminary subdivision on December 6,2005, therefore
satisfying. the City's responsibility under the Act.
19. The William R. Fairchild International Airport is located south of the site. Port of Port
Angeles staff has been notified of the proposed subdivision proposal and per agreement
with the Port, it is expected that those who purchase properties in the final subdivision
will be aware of the existing on-going airport operation.
20. The Planning Commission's decision is a recommendation to the City Council. The
Commission acts as the City's hearing body for preliminary subdivision approval.
Reports are advisory only to ensure conformance of the proposed subdivision to the
general purposes of the City's. Comprehensive Plan and to planning standards and
specifications adopted by the City.
21. Property owners within 300 feet of the proposed subdivision were mailed notice of the
proposal on October 25,2005. The property was posted on October 27,2005, and
publication appeared in the Peninsula Daily News on October 27; 2005. No written
comments have been received.
Conclusions:
A. As conditioned, the proposed subdivision is consistent with the Port Angeles
Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and Subdivision Ordinance Chapter 16.08 P AMC as
well as with Chapter 58.17 RCW, the Washington State Subdivision Act
B. As conditioned, appropriate provisions have been made for the public health, safety and
general welfare and for such open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, other
public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation,
playgrounds, schools and school grounds, sidewalks and other planning features that
assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school.
C. As conditioned, if improved low impact development suburban street standards are used,
signage educating residents and visitors as to the prohibition of on-street parking will
ensure that interior streets remain passable for public safety situations where on-street
parking could prevent ease of passage for emergency vehicles and sight distance safety
issues.
D. As conditioned, the public interest is served in the platting of this subdivision as
articulated in the City's Comprehensive Plan, Subdivision, and Zoning Ordinances. The
subdivision provides for development of new homes within the City of Port Angeles
consistent with the State of Washington Growth Management Act.

PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION BELL AIRE EST A TES
lOthlMilwaukee: Proposal to develop approximately 4.29 acres into 16
residential sites in the RS-9, Residential Single Family zone.
.
Principle Planner Nathan West presented the Department's report recommending
approval of the preliminary subdivision with conditions.,
In response to questions from the Commission, Engineer Jim Mahlum described
road and walking improvements in the area and explained that the City is working with the
School District for grants between "N" and "I" Streets for sidewalk construction. School
District participation is necessary in order to obtain sidewalk grants. The City has lost out
on grants in the past due to poor support from the School District. Tenth Street is
constructed to lot impact development standards which includes a gravel walking path.
City Manager Mark Madsen added that the City is anticipating participation by the
School District in the submittal for grant funding and hopes that grant applications can then
be filed such that their ranking is high.
Planner West responded that an 8' walking path is required along the Milwaukee
Drive frontage because Milwaukee Drive is designated as an extension of the City's
Waterfront Trail system that will eventually connect to the County's Olympic Discovery
Trail, and a 4' walking path is required along 10th Street frontage of the site because of its
arterial designation.
Chair Rasmussen opened the public hearing.
Quint Boe, 84 Old State Road, Port Angeles, represented the applicant and was in
agreement with staff's recommendation. He understood that the City established low
impact development standards partially to stimulate development. . He believes that
development patterns have changed in the City and developers have been developing a
hybrid end product that accomplishes a nicer development. He responded that development
in the area has resulted in homes that range from $279,000 to 389,000 in price and have
curb and sidewalk within the sidewalk with low impact development on the adjacent arterial
street (loth Street). Mr. Boe responded the he did not know if the developer is planning to
install curb and sidewalk on the interior cul-de-sac. The site is planned for upscale
development. He encouraged the City to continue to allow low impact development
standards and allow developers to make individual choices to increase development if so
desired.
Commissioner Wharton asked for clarification as to whether development of
Milwaukee Drive is planned to be low to impact development standards. She expressed
concern that the street is different than some because it is also designated as a major
recreational route and the low impact development standards allows narrower streets with
no on-street parking.
Engineer Mahlum continued to respond to questions regarding the City's low impact
suburban development standards versus standard arterial roadway improvement
requirements. It was noted that on-street parking is not permitted when streets are
developed to low impact development standards and must be so posted by the property
developer. There was discussion on the existing development of and any recent
improvements to Milwaukee Drive as well as the right-of-way's designation as an extension
of the City's Waterfront Trail recreational use and the Olympic Discovery Trail system.

Kathe Smith, 607 East Fourth Street, noted that, although the Transportation
Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan identifies Milwaukee Drive as a bicycle route,
currently the City's Parks and Recreation Division Plan identifies the Olympic Discovery
Trail route as being on "N" Street to 1 oth Street to Milwaukee Drive.
Manager Madsen was asked to respond and noted that the alternative route ("N"
Street to 10th Street) was designed to aid travel until the intended route (Milwaukee Drive) is
built out. It is the intent that as Milwaukee Drive is built out, it will become the Olympic
Discovery Trail route.
There being no. further comment, Chair Rasmussen closed the public hearing.
Following continued discussion on previous development in the area and the impact
of low impact development standards on travel and traffic in the area due to Milwaukee
Drive also being designated as a recreational trail route, Planner West proposed a wording
amendment to the proposed conditions of approval to identify expected road development.
Commissioner Snyder moved to recommend approval of the preliminary subdivision
citing the following conditions, findings, and conclusions:
Conditions:
1. An engineered stormwater plan shall be submitted for approval to the City Public
Works and Utilities Department. Stormwater shall be handled within the site in an
approved manner and shall be connected to stormwater improvements in the
Milwaukee Drive stormwater system. Stormwater improvements shall be installed
. per the City's Urban Services Standards and Guidelines prior to final plat approval.
2. The interior street shall be named and shall culminate in a cul-de-sac as shown on
the preliminary drawing. The street shall be constructed as approved by the City to,
at minimum, improved low impact development standards. If interior streets are
built to suburban low impact development standards, and are less than 36 feet in
total width, signage shall be placed on the interior street at the developer's expense
indicating that on-street parking is prohibited along both sides of the streets. If
interior streets are constructed to low impact development standards, the streets shall
be posted for "No Parking" by the applicant as directed by the City's Engineering
Division. Tenth Street shall be constructed to, at a minimum, the City's low impact
development standards with a 4' walking path.
.
3. Milwaukee Drive shall be constructed to arterial street standards that includes
an 8' walking/bicycle path.

written findings that these provisions are made.
5. The Port Angeles Public Works and Utilities Department, Parks and Recreation, and Fire
Departments reviewed the proposed subdivision. Their comments and specific conditions
have been incorporated in the Department's recommendation. Water, power, garbage
pickup, telecommunications, sewer~ storm water, and emergency services are available
within the area and will be provided through conditions to the preliminary plat.
6. The subject property is identified as Low Density Residential (LDR) on the Port Angeles
Comprehensive Plan land use map and is located in the City's Northwest Planning Region.
7. The Comprehensive Plan requires concurrency at the time of development for streets; vifater
service, sanitary sewer service, and electrical service (Capital Facilities Element PoHcy
A.9) and should require concurrency at the time of development for solid waste collection,
stormwater management, telecommunications service, and emergency service (Capital
Facilities Element Policy A.l 0). The proposal has been reviewed with respect to the
Comprehensive Plan and the following Comprehensive Plan policies are relevant tatlle
proposal: Growth Management Element Goal A; Land Use Element Goal A, Policy A,2,
Goal B, Policy B.l, B.2, B.3,and BA, Goal C; Transportation Element Goal A, Policy A.3,
A.6, B.l 0, B.ll, B.14, and B.18; Utilities and Public Services Element Policy C.2; Capital
Facilities Element Goal A, B, Policy B.1, B.3, BA, B.5, B.6, B.7, C.2, C.3, CA, and( COS.
.
8. The purpose ofthe City's RS-9, Residential Single Family zone is a low density res.idential
zone intended to create and preserve urban single family residential neighborhoods
consisting of predominantly single family homes on larger than standard Townsite.-;t],ze
lots. Uses that are compatible with and functionally related to a single family resideirHiaI
environment may be located in this zone. Because of land use impacts associated \lVitlt
nonresidential uses, few nonresidential uses are allowed in this zone and then only
conditionally. This zone provides for a variety in the urban land use pattern for the CitY's
single family residential neighborhoods, following a curvilinear street system of
nonthrough public and private streets with irregularly shaped lots, minimum 75-foot front
lot lines, and 60-foot rights-of-way for collector arterial streets in large rectangular b19CkS
and usually located in outlying areas with large tracts of vacant buildable land '
.
9. The site is currently served by West 10th Street and Milwaukee Drive. Access streets will
be improved to low impact development standards. Milwaukee Drive and West 10th Streets
are collector arterials and designated school walking routes. Milwaukee Drive is also a
designated bicycle route. The City's Urban Services and Guidelines Standards (Section
3G.100 Street Trees and Landscaping) states that street trees shall be planted on arterial
streets in the City and in other specified areas. Right-of-way dedication along West 10th
Street and Milwaukee Drive is required. Lots 1-6 within the subdivision shall be subject to
The Estates at Milwaukee Development Reimbursement Agreement for previous utility
improvements in the area.
10. The City's low impact development standards for suburban areas were adopted in 2003
with the restriction that subdivisions developed under the reduced standards would not
allow for on-street parking. Site development and design for residential lots developed
under the lower impact standards need to accommodate resident parking and visitor
265

parking on-site.
.
11. The proposal was reviewed with regard to the City's Subdivision Ordinance (Section 16.08
P AM C) which provides specific design standards which are expected of subdivisions
'. within the City limits while the City's Urban Services Standards and Guidelines indicates
that street trees should be planted along arterial streets and provides guidance for such
placement and tree species. The design standards identified in Section 16.08.060 F P AMC
state that str.e.et trees are a protection against excessive heat and glare and enhance the
attractiveness and value of abutting property. The City will assist the subdivider in location
of trees and species to use under varying conditions. It is recommended that trees be
planted inside the property lines where they are less subject to injury, decrease the chance
of motor accidents and enjoy more favorable conditions for growth. If trees are to be
planted within a planting strip in the right-of-way, their proposed locations and species to
be used are to be submitted for review and approval by the City.
12. There are I;l0 environmentally sensitive areas on the site. The site has a minimal slope to
the south. The site is not considered a frequently flooded area and is not listed on the
FederalEIl1ergency Management Act (FEMA) maps which denote those areas that are
within 100-year flood areas.
13. The owner of a construction site which disturbs a total of five acres or more of land area
that has a d~~charge of stormwater to a surface water or storm sewer system must apply to
the State Department of Ecology for a General Permit for Stormwater Discharge .
Associated with Construction Activities. The proposed site is 4.29 acres in area.
14. Building pe.gnits are required for all structures within the subdivision. All local building
. and Fire Codes shall be complied with during construction including residential sprinkler
systems.
15. The Port Angeles School District has been notified of the development to allow them to
plan for needed public school facilities and routes. The Port Angeles School District
provides school bus pick-up for students at Hamilton Elementary School and Stevens
Middle School at 12th and "N" Streets.
16. The City's Parks Department has noted that they are aware ofthe preliminary proposal and
do not believe the level of service for the area will be hampered as a result of the
development. The City's LOS for parks and recreational services is 1/3 acre for 1,000
population. An undeveloped wooded property donated to the City for a park use is located
less than 1/4 mile east of the subject site along "N" Street. The nearest public playground
area is located approximately three-quarters of a mile northeast (Crown Park) or one mile
southeast (Lincoln Park).
17. The site will be served by the City's Police, Fire, and Public Works Departments. All
utilities including potable water, sanitary waste, and refuse collection are available in the
area. Transit service is available along "N" Street east of the site.

18. The City's State Environmental Polity Act (SEPA) Official issued a Determination of
Nonsignificance for the preliminary subdivision on December 6,2005, therefore satisfying
the City's responsibility under the Act.
19. The William R. Fairchild International Airport is located south of the site. Port of Port
Angeles staff has been notified of the proposed subdivision proposal and per agreement
with the Port, it is expected that those who purchase properties in the final subdivision will
be aware of the existing on-going airport operation.
. 20. The Planning Commission's decision is a recommendation to the_City Council. The
Commission acts as the City's hearing body for preliminary subdivision approval. Reports
are advisory only to ensure conformance of the proposed subdivision to the general
purposes of the City's Comprehensive Plan and to planning standards and specifications
adopted by the City.
21. Property owners within 300 feet of the proposed subdivision were mailed notice of the
proposal on October 25,2005. The property waS posted on October 27,2005, and
publication appeared in the Peninsula Daily News on October 27,2005. No written
comments have been received.
Conclusions:
.
. 1. . As conditioned, the proposed subdivision is consistent with the Port Angeles
Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and Subdivision Ordinance Chapter 16.08 PAMC as
. well as with Chapter 58.17 RCW, the Washington State Subdivision Act
2. As conditioned, appropriate provisions have been made for the public health, safety and
general welfare and for such open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, other
public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation,
playgrounds, schools and school grounds, sidewalks and other planning features that assure
safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school.
3. As conditioned, if improved low impact development suburban street standards are used,
signage educating residents and visitors as to the prohibition of on-street parking will
ensure that interior streets remain passable for public safety situations where on-street
parking could prevent ease of passage for emergency vehicles and sight distance safety
Issues.
4. As conditioned, the public interest is served in the platting ofthis subdivision as articulated
in the City's Comprehensive Plan, Subdivision, and Zoning Ordinances. The subdivision
provides for development of new homes within the City of Port Angeles consistent with
the State of Washington Growth Management Act.
Commissioner Kalish seconded the motion which passed unanimously.

STREET VACATION - GARDNER STY 05-05
2ND STREET EAST OF VACATED ALDER STREET
Summary: Consideration of vacation of City right-of-way.
Recommendation: The City Council should approve the proposed right-of-way vacation as
recommended by the Planning Commission citing the condition, findings, and conclusions
identifiedin the attached exhibit.
Backl!round / Analysis: The petitioners own property that is located east of the dead end
portion of Second Street and directly west of White's Creek. In fact, a portion of White's Creek
crosses Mr. Gardner's property at its most northeastern comer. Mr. Gardner did not wish to purchase
that portion of Second Street found east of the white's Creek ravine as it is environmentally
sensitive and unusable. Staff and the Planning Commission agreed. Therefore, the proposed
vacation area (identified on the attached map) terminates at the top of the White's Creek bank and
is not be included in the vacation area (approximately 5740 square feet). The Planning Commission
recommended a condition to ensure that the vacated property becomes part of Mr. Gardner's existing
ownership and does not remain an independent building area. Petitioner Sundby does not wish to
obtain any of the right-of-way but signed the petition as not in opposition to the action.
An excerpt of the Planning Commission's minutes is attached for your review as well as
staff's report, a draft ordinance, and recommended condition, findings, and conclusions.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS IN SUPPORT OF'STREET V ACATIONPETITION - STY
05-05 - GARDNER:
Condition:
1. Property owned by the petitioner and acquired through the subject vacation shall be
combined into one building site per Zoning Lot Covenant prior to the issuance of a quit claim
deed for the right-of-way.
Findings:
1.
A petition requesting the vacation ofthat portion ofthe Second Street right-of-way located
east of vacated Alder Street and west of White's Creek abutting Lots 10 and 11, Block 120,
and Lots 8 and 9 in Block B, T. W. Carter's Subdivision together with that portion of Second
Street abutting Alder Street previously vacated by the City of Port Angeles was submitted
on September 1,2005. Abutting properties are owned by the petitioners Mr. Ron Gardner
and Mrs. and Mrs. Harry Sundby. ,
RCW 58.17 requires the signatures of two thirds of abutting property owners to be valid
when the vacation of right-of-way is proposed. The subject petition is signed by 100% of
the abutting property owners. How~ver, Mr. Sundby does not wish to purchase abutting
right-of-way but has no issue with Mr. Gardner acquiring the entire property.
The subject area is zoned RS-7 Residential Single Family and is developed with single
family structures. The RS-7 zone allows the basic single family development uses including
accessory structures with lot coverage up to 30%. Property located one block north of the
area is developed as Front Street, which is also State Highway 101. The Front Street corridor
is zoned Commercial Arterial and is largely developed with commercial enterprises.
The City's Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map were reviewed for consistency with the
proposed vacation of right-of-way. Land Use Map Goal, Policies, and Objective Element
Goal A is relevant to the proposal.
The City of Port Angeles' Real Estate Committee met on November 14, 2005, and
established a value for the unopened right-of-way. The subject area is approximately 82' in
length x 70' in width for a total of 5740 square feet.
The applicants' properties adjacent to the right-of-way are largely encumbered in the east
portions ofthe sites by the crossing of White' s Creek, which passes north to south across the
properties. The Gardner ownership is approximately 27,743 square feet in area while the
Sundby ownership consists of 62,300 square feet in area. The Sundby ownership consists
of two parcels, the east parcel being approximately 42,300 square feet and located mostly in
the White's Creek Ravine while the residential site consists of approximately 20,000 square
feet in area. The Gardner ownership would be increased by the area of the right-of-way
purchase being some additional 5740 square feet.
Section 17.20 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code provides standards for the development
of propeJ;iies that contain environmentally sensitive areas (ESAs). White's Creek crosses the
site and is classified as a Class III stream. Development of properties that contain
environmentally sensitive areas must observe development setbacks prescribed in Section
17.20 PAMC.
The vacating of a street is categorically exempt from a State Environmental Policy Act
(SEPA) review per Section 197-11-800 (2) (h) of the Washington Administrative Code.

271
9. The site was posted for a land use action on December 2,2005, with required publication
notification in the Peninsula Dailv News on December 7,2005.
10. At its December 6, 2005, regular meeting, the Port Angeles City Council established a public
hearing date by resolution for action on the street vacation petition as January 17,2006. The
Real Estate Committee ofthe City Council discussed compensation for the right-of-way and
decided upon a value of$7.00 per square foot in the event of vacation.
1 L The Port Angeles Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed street
vacation on December 28, 2005, and forwarded a recommendation to the City Council for
consideration.
Conclusions:
.
A. As conditioned, the traffic pattern in the dead end location will not be negatively impacted.
As the unopened right-of-way serves no purpose to the current or long range transportation
needs of the City, and the vacation will place unused property on the City's tax roles, the
vacation serves the public interest.
B. Consolidation of the petitioners' property ownership will discourage the development of a
..future independent building site in the area which will protect the environmentally sensitive
~ area (White's Creek) and be in accord with development standards of Section 17.20
; · \' (Environment) P AMC.
C. Site consolidation will enable limited additional development of the residential site in a ~
. , . .'manner consistent with the RS-7 zone which would therefore be consistent with Section
17.10 ( RS-7 Zone) of the Port Angeles Municipal Code.
D. The proposal is consistent with the goals and policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan
specifically Land Use Map Goal, Policies and Objective Element Goal A.

vacation on December 28, 2005, and forwarded a recommendation to the City Council for
consideration.

Conclusions:
A.
As conditioned, the traffic pattern in the dead end location will not be negatively impacted.
As the unopened right-of-way serves no purpose to the current or long range transportation
needs of the City, and the vacation will place unused property on the City's tax roles, the
vacation serves the public interest.
Consolidation of the petitioners' property ownership will discourage the development of a
future independent building site in the area which will protect the environmentally sensitive
area (White's Creek) and be in accord with development standards of Section 17.20
(Environment) P AMC.
Site consolidation will enable limited additional development of the residential site in a
manner consistent with the RS-7 zone which would therefore be consistent with Section
17.10 ( RS-7 Zone) of the Port Angeles Municipal Code.

FROM:
Sue Roberds, Planning Manager
DATE:
December 28, 2005
RE:
STY 05-05
PETITIONERS/
OWNERS:
Ron Gardner and Harry and Janet Sundby
REQUEST:
Vacation of City right-of-way - a portion of Second Street abutting
vacated Alder Street
DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION:
The Community & Economic Development Department recommends that the Planning
Commission forward a recommendation of approval to the City Council of street vacation
petition STY 05-05 based on the conditions, findings, and conclusions found in Attachment A to
this staff report.
BACKGROUND:
A valid petition requesting the vacation of City right-of-way was submitted by Mr. Ron
Gardner and Mrs. and Mrs. Harry Sundby on September 1, 2005. The petitioners,own 100% of
the abutting properties.
The petition requests vacation of a portion of Second Street situated east of vacated Alder
Street (between the end of the developed right-of-way) west of White's Creek. Both the Gardner
and Sundby properties extend to the White's Creek boundary. The petition does not include
undevelopable property situated east of the west boundary (top ofthe bank) ofthe Creek but
stops short of the Creek buffer area. Mr. Gardner desires to acquire the additional area so that
he can construct an accessory structure on his property which is currently restricted by the
location of White's Creek. The right-of-way is currently utilized by the neighborhood
intermittently as a turn around at the end of the dead end street and the neighbors wish to
continue to be able to turn around area. A short portion of right-of-way could remain in order to
accommodate the neighborhood and still vacate the remaining approximately 50'length of
unused right-of-way. No public utilities are located in the right-of-way.

DEPARTMENT REVIEW AND PUBLIC COMMENT:
. The Public Works and Utilities Department has no objection to the proposed street
vacation.
.
. The Fire Department has no objection to the proposed street vacation.
. ,The Police Department made no comment on the proposed street vacation.
. The Department of Community & Economic Development: Zoning in the area is RS-7
Residential Single Family and is developed as single family residences. First Street,
north ofthe area, is zoned CA Corinnercial Arterial and is a main traffic corridor being
; also State Highway.l 0 1. Properties in that location are developed as commercial
enterprises.
Alder Street west of the subj ect property was previously vacated by Ordinance
Nos. 1228 and 2352. Extension of Second Street east in the imniediate area west of the
; Creek is not probable.
'\
Areas of potential impact of the proposal are summarized as follows:
Traffic Patterns: Established traffic patterns in the area will not be affected by the
vacation as the subject right-of-way does not function as a through street nor is the right-
of-way necessary to access properties located east of the petitioners' ownerships.
.
Development Patterns: The proposal will not adversely impact existing development in
the area arid will enable the construction of arI accessory structure on the subject property
which is a normal use right in a residential zone.
Environmentally Sensitive Areas: Second Street east ofthe subject site is located in an
environmentally sensitive area where it crosses White's Creek. That portion of the site
which is located at the top of the bank is not part of the vacation request. A minimum
setback of 25' from the top of the bank is required as a building buffer per Section 15.20
of the Port Angeles Municipal Code, which will provide adequate protection from the
environmentally sensitive area for proposed residential use of the property.
Public Health, Safety and Welfare: Vacation ofthe proposed right-of-way will not
interfere with the public's health, safety, welfare, or use of that portion of right-of-way
that has been historically used by the neighborhood. The right-of-way has no value to the
City as public space and returns no revenue in the form of taxes while in public
ownership.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:
The site was posted and notice of the petition filing was published in the Peninsula Dailv News .
on December 7,2005. The site was posted on December 2,2005, regarding the proposed action.
At this writing, no comments have been received.

Street Vacation Petition - STV 05-05
.
Condition:
1. Property owned by the petitioner and acquired through the subject vacation shall be
combined into one building site per Zoning Lot Covenant prior to the issuance of a quit

Block.120, and Lots 8 and 9 in BlockB, T.W. Carter's Subdivision together with that
portion of Second Street abutting Alder Street previously vacated by the City of Port
Angeles was submitted on September 1, 2005. Abutting properties are owned by the
petitioners Mr. Ron Gardner and Mrs. and Mrs. Harry Sundby.
2. RCW 58.17 requires the signatures of two thirds of abutting property owners to be valid
when the vacation of right-of-way is proposed. The subject petition is signed by 100% of
the abutting property owners. However, Mr. Sundby does not wish to purchase abutting
right-of-way but has no issue with Mr. Gardner acquiring the entire property.
The subject area is zoned RS-7 Residential Single Family and is developed with single
family structures. The RS-7 zone allows the basic single family development uses
including accessory structures with lot coverage up to 30%. Property located one block
north of the area is develope~ as Front Street, which is also State Highway 101. The
Front Street corridor is zoned Commercial Arterial and is largely developed with
commercial enterprises.
.
3.
4. The City's Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map were reviewed for consistency with
the proposed vacation of right-of-way. ~and Use Map Goal, Policies, and Objective
Element Goal A is relevant to the proposal.
5.

The applicants' properties adjacent to the right-of-way are largely encumbered in the east
portions ofthe sites by the crossing of White's Creek, which passes north to south across
the properties. The Gardner ownership is approximately 27,743 square feet in area while
the Sundby ownership consists of 62,300 square feet in area. The Sundby ownership
consists of two parcels, the east parcel being approximately 42,300 square feet and
located mostly in the White's Creek Ravine while the residential site consists of
approximately 20,000 square feet in area. The Gardner ownership would be increased by
the area of the right-of-way purchase being some additional 5740 square feet.
Section 17.20 ofthe Port Angeles Municipal Code provides standards for the
development of properties that contain environmentally sensitive areas (ESAs). White's
Creek crosses the site and is classified ~~a2Class III stream. Development of properties

Park & Campbell Avenue improvements, itemizing the various components as noted

a status report on the project, noting the Park A venue work is essentially done with the

some landscaping, has been delayed due to poor weather. That factor, however, does
not impact any of the development, as the sewer has been completed. Deputy Director
Kenworthy showed slides of the issues needing attention with the change order,

followed, with staff answering questions posed by the Council regarding negotiations
on increased costs and the potential for a precedent, strata encountered during the

AWARD OF 2006 STORM REPAIRS PROJECT No. 06-02
Summary: Bids were requested from four Small Works Roster contractors to repair storm damage to
the Waterfront Trail on Ediz Hook Road and the Olympic Trail at various locations east of the
Rayonier Mill Site. Three bids were received and opened January 17,2006. Jordan Excavating, Inc.
of Port Angeles submitted the lowest responsible bid in the amount of $44,848.00, including
applicable taxes.
Recommendation: Award the project and authorize the Mayor to sign a contract with Jordan
Excavatin , Inc., in the amount of $44,848.00 for the 2006 Storm Re airs Pro' ect 06-02.
Background/Analysis: During the period of January 1-3, exceptionally high tides and winter storm
events coincided to cause the failure on the waterfront trail on Ediz Hook Road and in several
locations of the shore revetment currently relied upon to protect a portion of the Olympic Discovery
Trail. Specifically, the high-tide and wind-driven wave action caused the heavy loose rip rap to fall
from the upland area, leaving several areas ofthe trail facility exposed to further erosion activity. On
Ediz Hook Road, erosion has undern1ined the paved trail facility and created a safety concern.
Bids were solicited from four Small Works Roster contractors. Three bids were received. The low
responsible bid, from Jordan Excavating, Inc., of Port Angeles, in the amount of$44,848.00, is within
the engineer's estimate. A summary of the bid results is provided below:
Contractor City Bid (Including Tax)
Jordan Excavating, Inc. Port Angeles $44,848.00
.~----_._- --- -- ~._._----- -
Horizon Excavating, Inc. Port Angeles $47,970.20
Bruch & Bruch Const., Inc. Port Angeles $49,896.00
Lakeside Industries Port Angeles NO BID
Engineer's Estimate $47,959.00
In that this is not a budgeted project it is recommended that funding be from the unallocated portion
of the General Fund Projects for Capital Facilities Improvements. It is further recommended that the
City Council award the project and authorize the Mayor to sign a contract with Jordan Excavating,
Inc., in the amount of $44,848.00 for the 2006 Storm Repairs Project 06-02.

Summary: On June 18,2001, the City Council approved an ordinance granting the Clallam

Background/Analysis: On November 24, 1948, the City granted the Clallam County Public
Utility District No.1 (District) a 50-year right to construct, maintain and operate an electric
transmission system within a specific geographical area of the City. On June 18,2001, the City
granted the District up to a 25-year franchise for the sole purpose of operating and maintaining a

compliance with the franchise, as indicated in the City Manager's report to the City Council (see
attached memo).

In November 2005, the Part I Crime of
Assault 4th Degree had 21 crimes reported.
This is higher than last year during the same
month when 19 crimes were reported. This
brings the year-to-date total for 2005 Assault

than 2004's reported misdemeanor assaults of
222.
November had three reported Rapes, one
resulting in the arrest of an adult male. The
total crimes reported year-to-date equal 24,
which is approximately 11 % less than the year-
to-date crimes reported during 2004 of27.
There were two reported Robberies for the
month of November. One of these cases was
cleared by the arrest of three adult males. This
brings the year-to-date total to six, equal to the
total year-to-date for 2004.
November had five reported Felony
Assaults, one was reported during November of
2004. This brings the year-to-date number of
Felony Assaults to 33, which is slightly more
than the year-to-date total for 2004 of 32.
In November, there were 18 Burglaries
reported. This is 38% greater than the number
reported during November 2004 of 13. The
total of Burglaries year-to-date equal 153
during 2005, which is 13% greater than those
reported in 2004 of 135.
Theft crimes were significantly less in
November than in the previous month.
Overall, there were 96 Theft crimes reported
during November compared with 132 in the
.
previous month. The number of Thefts from
Vehicles of 41 was nearly half of the crimes
reported from the previous month of 72. This
reduction in Thefts from Vehicles may be
attributed to the 5 adult males arrested for this

are 16% greater than the 656 crimes year-to-
date in 2004.

reported in November 2004. The year-to-date
total is 27, which is 69% greater than the year-
to-date 2004 total of 16.
Overall, for 2005, Part 1 Crimes reported
total 1240, which is approximately 13% greater
than the year-to-date totals for 2004 of 1094

which is significantly more than the 59 arrests
during November 2004. 19 Juveniles were
arrested during that same month, which is also
greater than the number of juvenile arrests during
the same month in 2004 of 16. While this is a
large increase from the same time period in 2004,
these statistics are almost exactly the same as last
month, October 2005 of 83 Adults and 32
Juveniles arrested. In total, there were 102 arrests
during November 2005, which reflects an
increase of36% compared to the 75 arrests during

note that while arrests were almost the same in
November as October, the number of Calls for
Service, Dispatches and 911 Calls were
considerably less during the month of November.

Statistical Highlights
In October 2005, the Part I Crime of
Assault 4th Degree had 30 crimes reported.
This is higher than last year during the same
month when 21 crimes were reported. This
brings the year-to-date total for 2005 Assault
4th Degree crimes to 215, which is 6% greater
than 2004' s reported misdemeanor assaults of
203.
October had three reported Rapes, bringing
the total for the year to 21. This is
approximately 19% less than the year-to-date
crimes reported during 2004 of 26.
There were no reported Robberies for the
month of October. The year-to-date total
remains at four, which is 33% less than the
total year-to-date for 2004 of six.
October had two reported Felony Assaults,
which is less than half of the five reported
during October of 2004. This brings the year-
to-date number of Felony Assaults to 28, which
is 10% less than the year-to-date total for 2004
of31.
In October, we saw a large increase in
Burglaries with 28 crimes reported. This is
more than 2.5 times the number reported during
October 2004 of 11. With this increase,
Burglary totals equal 135 year to date during
2005, which is 11 % greater than those reported
in 2004 of 122.
Theft crimes again increased during the
month of October 2005. Overall, there were
132 crimes reported compared with 61 from
October 2004. Again, this increase was
primarily due to the number of Thefts from
Vehicles. There were 72 Thefts from Vehicles
reported during October, which is three times
the number reported during the same month in
2004 of 24. 2005 year-to-date totals for Theft
(all categories) of 665 crimes are 9% greater
than the 608 crimes year-to-date in 2004.
During the month of October, there were
increased patrols and a special task force
investigating the multiple Thefts from
Vehicles. This resulted in the arrest of two
adult males who were both charged with Theft
2nd Degree from Vehicle, a felony, and
Vehicle Prowl 2nd Degree.
There were four reported Arsons in
October 2005 compared with six reported in
October 2004. The year-to-date total is 26,
which is 42% greater than the year-to-date
2004 total of 15.
Overall, for 2005, Part 1 Crimes reported
total 1094, which is less than 8% greater than
the year-to-date totals for 2004 of 1011 crimes.
83 Adults were arrested in October 2005,
which reflects a decrease of 13% compared to
the 95 arrests during October 2004. 32
Juveniles were arrested during that same
month, which is 68% greater than the 19
juvenile arrests during October 2004. In total,
there were 102 arrests during October 2005,
which is 10% less than the 114 arrests during
the same period last year.
