In recognition of Evergreen Towing
Whereas, Evergreen Towing understands and supports the FACT that order and security are
important to the residents and the government of the City of Port Angeles; and
Whereas, Junk and abandoned vehicles in our neighborhoods are unsightly and threaten our
community with disorder by promoting crimes such as littering and vandalism; and
Whereas, Evergreen Towing realizes that community partnerships with local law enforcement
demonstrate a willingness to work toward goals that benefit all citizens of a
community; and that removal of junk and abandoned vehicles does benefit the
community, but can be time-consuming and costly, and;
Whereas, At great cost to their business, Evergreen Towing, in partnership with the Port
Angeles Police Department Support Services Division, has faithfully assisted with
removal of hundreds of junk and abandoned vehicles during the past three years,
removing more than 250 vehicles last year alone;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Richard Headrick, as Mayor and on behalf of the City Council of Port
Angeles, commend Evergreen Towing for their commitment to making Port Angeles a better place
to live. And, I further urge the citizens of Port Angeles to recognize the contribution of Evergreen
Towing in partnership with local law enforcement to rid neighborhoods of junk and abandoned
vehicles.

Walter, Deborah and Kristin,
On behalf of the citizens of Port Angeles, it is with great pleasure and sincere gratitude that
we recognize your outstanding efforts at the tragic fire that occurred on March 1, 2004.
On that night; you noticed that there was a fire on the second floor of the apartment building
located at 202 East Lauridsen Boulevard. Acting without hesitation, you immediately dialed
9-1-1 and reported the fire. Even as you were dialing, you were already making your way to
the apartment building. Once you arrived at the building, you proceeded to alert the
occupants - many of whom had absolutely no idea that a portion of their building was
ablaze. After alerting the residents, you then generously offered blankets and comfort for
those who were displaced from their homes.
It is clear that your heroic efforts may very well have saved lives. Fires spread incredibly
quickly -- often only a minute or two can mean the difference between life and death. On the
night of March 1, 2004, your actions, as well as those of Port Angeles Police Officers, likely
provided the precious minutes needed to enable the escape of several occupants.
Again, it is with great pleasure and sincere gratitude that we applaud you for a job well
done!
Sincerely,
Richard Headrick, Mayor Dan McKeen, Fire Chief

Re: City of Port Angeles Human Services Funding
Enclosed is the 2003 year-end report from the agencies that received City of Port Angeles' Human
Services funding. I'm pleased to report that all the agencies turned in their reports so we have a more
complete picture of the impact of the city's funding.
In looking at the programs, most see a core group of people several times or on a continuing basis.
Since the City funds preventive programs, this is exactly what you would want and expect to have happen.
Continuing involvement by the clients is one measure that the program is establishing relationships and is
able to affect change.
We are continuing to ask funded agencies to report on their outcomes. You should feel very
pleased that City of Port Angeles funding is having a very positive affect on children and families.
It appears the agencies funded by the city are working harder than ever with less funding. Overall,
the programs funded by the City of Port Angeles reported a 50% increase in the numbers they served -
8,577 different individuals this year compared to 5,691 last year. Part of the increase - 715 - is due in part
to the new funding of Family Planning. The number of unserved clients was less - 1,091 in 2002 to 657
last year. The majority of the unserved clients (500) were from one agency, Olympic Community Action
Programs and were in need of medical and dental services. OlyCAP reported these people were referred
elsewhere, but we do not know where that would be. Of the people seen, 92% ofthem (7,871) live inside
the city limits.
On behalf of the Un/ted Way board, I want to express our support for the City's funding of human
services. We look forward to continuing our relationship with the Council and liaison Grant Munro. Grant
has served on the Un/ted Way board and will be a strong voice for human service needs in our city.
Your leadership in providing for human services shows our citizens your concern for everyone in
our city, including those people experiencing difficulties in their lives. Your funds not only have a positive
effect on those directly served, but also make the whole community safer and more inviting for everyone.
Un/ted Way is pleased to have this relationship with the City. We encourage your continued
support and look forward to working with you. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this report,
please feel free to call on me.
Thank you again.
OUR MISSION To strengthen our communities by enhancinThe ability of people to live safe, healthy, and productive lives.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE: March 16, 2004
To: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Glenn A. Cutler, Director of Public Works and Utilities
SUBJECT: Equipment Purchase - Three Phase Relay Test Set
Summary: Bids for a new three phase relay test set were opened on January 27, 2004, Purchase
Contract No. 03-25. The low bidder, Omicron Electronics Corp., USA, failed to meet the
minimum specifications in a number of critical items. The lowest responsible bidder is Doble of
Watertown, MA. in the amount of $52,909.80.
Recommendation: Reject the bids from Omicron and Megger for being non-responsive
and authorize the Mayor to sign a contract with Doble of Watertown, MA for a new three
phase test set in the amount of $52,909.80 ($48,900.00 plus sales tax).
Background/Analysis: It is necessary to procure a new three phase relay test set for Light
Operations. Funds for the equipment were set aside in the 2003 budget for $20,000 and an
additional $20,000 is available in the 2004 budget for a total of $40,000. The Public Utility
District No. 1 of Clallam County (PUD) has requested and agreed to partner with the City and
provide 50% of the unit cost. This would result in an expenditure of $26,454.90 by the City.
The bids were analyzed for compliance. The following table is a summary of the bid results.
Vendor/City Bid Price w/Sales Make/Model Bid Result

Re: 3 Phase Relay Test Set
Page 2
Omicron Electronic Corp., Houston, Texas submitted the lowest bid. During the evaluation of
the bids it was determined that the Omicron Test Universe system did not fully meet the
specifications in two critical areas. In the Omicron submission minimum test set parameters
required in the bid specifications were marked as conforming, however, when compared to the
data submitted, they were determined to be non-compliant. Omicron's local representative was
contacted and notified of non-compliance. They acknowledged the areas of non-compliance,
thanked us for considering their bid, and ask to be left on the bid list for future bids.
Major areas of deviation from the specifications by Omicron are as follows:
Requirement Omicron Rationale for Requirement
Three-phase voltage 85-300 volts @ 85 VA This limits the size of relay that can be
with each phase capable tested. The recommendation from relay
of 0 to 300 volts AC @ manufacturers is for a minimum of
150 VA 100 VA per channel.
Three-phase amps, each 0-12.5 amps ~ 70 VA This will limit the type of over current
phase capable of 4 to 30 Series to 75 amps ~ relays that can be tested correctly.
amps ~ 200 VA Series 280 VA Omicron offers an external amplifier at an
to 90 amps @ 600 VA. additional cost as an option.
Either AC or DC
Also, Megger of Dallas, Texas was determined to be non-compliant with the specifications. The
specifications listed seven test modules that were required to permit testing of various relays. The
Megger unit is only capable of testing four of the seven units. Therefore, the Megger bid is
considered to be non-responsive.
The specifications, in part, permit the City to award to a firm when there are minor deviations from
the specifications in the equipment proposed. The deviations must be noted in the bid submission.
The items in the Omicron Electronic unit were not noted in the bid submission. The Megger bid
did mention the exceptions. For the reasons noted above, both bids are considered to be non-
responsive.
The contract for the equipment purchase was previously submitted to Council on February 17,
2004, pulled to permit staff to further research the Megger submission, and coordinate the funding
with the PUD.
The City will have custody of the test set and share it with the PUD.
It is recommended that the bids from Omicron and Megger be rejected for being non-responsive
and that Council authorize the Mayor to sign a contract with Doble of Watertown, MA for a new
three phase test set in the amount of $52,909.80 ($48,900.00 plus sales tax).

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE: March 16, 2004
To: CiTY COUNCIL
FROM: Glenn A. Cutler, Director of Public Works & Utilities
RE: Fee Reduction Request for Rayonier
Summary: Rayonier has requested that the fee for processing leachate from the Mount Pleasant
Landfill be reduced from $0.04 to $0.02 per gallon.
Recommendation: Approve reducing the fee for processing leachate from Rayonier's
Mount Pleasant Landfill from $0.04 to $0.03 per gallon.
Background/Analysis: In their letter dated December 12, 2002 (copy attached), Rayonier
requested that the fee for processing leachate from the Mount Pleasant landfill be reduced from
$0.04 to $0.02 per gallon. This request is based upon the benign nature of the leachate and the
fact that the leachate contaminate levels are below that of fresh waste. The Port Angeles
Municipal Code (PAMC) 3.70.110, Treatment of Fresh Waste, sets a rate of $0.02 per gallon.
The analytical reports indicate that the leachate is below the limits set for the fresh waste.
There was no established rate when Rayonier originally made their request to the City for
acceptance of the leachate in 1999. The UAC at that time recommended to the City Council that
a rate of $0.04 per gallon be established. The Council accepted that recommendation and set the
rate at $0.04 per gallon.
In view of the fact that the leachate is being generated outside of the City limits, it is
recommended that the rate be reestablished at $0.03 per gallon, 150% of the rate established for
fresh waste received from within the City limits. The 150% rate is consistent with other utility
charges for services to individuals outside of the City limits. The UAC supported this
recommendation at its March 9, 2004 meeting.

Re: Mt. Pleasant Leachate - Request for Permit Modification
Dear Mr. Kenworthy:
Permit IWA-01-99 issued by the City to Rayonier allows leachate from Mt. Pleasant landfill to
be delivered to the municipal treatment facility. Attached is a report that shows the latest
results for the analytical tests that were completed on the leachate.
As-the report illustrates, two years of data have shown that the leachate contains only a few
contaminants and these contaminants were at minimal levels that are far below the permit's
allowed values. In addition, the recent closure of the Phase One cell at the landfill will
significantly reduce the volume of leachate being taken to the POTW and even further reduce
any potential impact of the leachate on the treatment system. Therefore, we are requesting
that the permit be modified to eliminate all of the testing requirements with the exception of
pH and flow. We would recommend that the pH be monitored on a weekly basis and that the
flow of effluent delivered to the POTW continue to be determined by the in-line meter.
The permit requireS that Rayonier pay a fee of $0.04 per gallon for leachate discharged to the
POTW. At the inception of the permit, Rayonier agreed to this rate but, due to the benign
nature of the leachate, we are requesting that the fee be reduced to $0.02 per gallon. A rate
of $0.02 would put the fee paid by Rayonier at a standard rate when compared to what the
City is charging other dischargers in the area.
We sincerely appreciate the willingness of the City to accept the leachate during the past two
years and we believe that the above requested changes in the permit would allow treatment
of the leachate to continue at a rate and cost that would be fair and acceptable to all
concerned.
Please call me if you have any questions or comments (360-808-1805 or 912-427-5354).
Sincerely,

TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Glenn A. Cutler, Director of Public Works and Utilities
SUBJECT: Benefit Dump Day
Summary: The City of Port Angeles sponsors an annual Benefit Dump Day for free disposing of
material for all Clallam County residents. This year's event is scheduled to coincide with Earth

Recommendation: Approve the annual Benefit Dump Day scheduled for Sunday, April 25,
2004, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., at the Port Angeles Landfill.
Background/Analysis: Clean-Up Days, Free Dump Days, or Recycle Days are common events
for rural communities. The City of Port Angeles Solid Waste Division sponsors an annual
Benefit Dump Day for all Clallam County residents. Residents may haul all non-hazardous
waste to the Landfill Site for free on the designated day. All landfill fees are waived for this
event. Residents are requested to donate cash or food items to benefit the Port Angeles Food
Bank.
· Results in 2003:1,400 vehicles / $3,259 in cash donations / 5,840 lbs of food
· Results in 2002:1,444 vehicles / $2,800 in cash donations / 5,500 lbs of food
· Results in 2001:1,391 vehicles / $2,853 in cash donations / 6,240 lbs of food
For the 2003 event, vehicle size restrictions, increased recycling, and inspection of loads prior to
unloading were implemented and readily accepted. Residents were allowed to use up to 3/4 ton
pick-ups or cars with trailers (5 ft x 8 ft). One load per household, with a limit of four tires and
four appliances.
The Benefit Dump Day event will be assisted by a ($7,500) grant from the Department of
Ecology [City will match ($2,500)]. The grant will pay for costs associated with recycling.
Other costs for the event are planned and recovered in the tipping fee paid by all users of the
landfill.
The event will be well advertised through the media, utility billings, and flyers.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
Date: March 16, 2004
To: City Council
From: Dennis C. Dickson, Acting City Attorney, Property Manager
Subject: Property Lease with Juan de Fuca Council of Camp Fire USA
for Campfire Clubhouse
Summary_: A lease agreement is proposed for City Council consideration that portion of
the land located within the Jesse Webster Park that is currently the site of the Camp Fire Club
House. The lease agreement provides for a lease period of 25 years for the City owned
property which is the site of the Campfire Club House at the nominal fee of $1.00 per year.
Provisions allowing the lease to be terminated upon one year's written notice by either party
and the requirement of providing liability insurance naming the City as an additional insured
have been added to the terms of the prior lease.
Recommendation: The provisions contained in the proposed lease agreement have been
reviewed and approved by the Real Estate Committee of City Council and the Parks Advisory
Board. Should City Council wish to approve the lease for a period of 25 years for the site of
the Campfire Club House it may do so by authorizing the mayor to execute the proposed lease
on behalf of the City of Port Angeles.
Background / Analysis: For a number of years the City of Port Angeles has leased space
located within the Jesse Webster Park to the Juan de Fuca Council of Camp Fire USA for the site
of the Camp Fire Clubhouse. The most recent lease was executed on October 3, 1978 and was for
a period of twenty five years. A request was made by the Juan de Fuca Council of Camp Fire to
renew the lease for an additional twenty-five year period. Both the Real Estate Committee of City
Council and the Parks Advisory Board have approved the provisions of the proposed lease. The
lease has the same basic provisions as the 1978 lease. The proposed lease however has included
modifications providing that the lease may be terminated upon one year's prior written notice by
either party. It further provides that Camp Fire shall provide proof of liability insurance naming the
City of Port Angeles as an additional insured.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE: November 4, 2003
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: SUE ROBERDS, ASSISTANT PLANNER
SUBJECT: PETITION FOR VACATION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY
PORTION OF WOOLCOTT STREET
Summary: The Port of Port Angeles proposes to vacate a portion of the "K" Street right-of-way
between Marine Drive and the City's industrial waterline along Third Street.
Recommendation: The Department of Community Development recommends that the City
Council adopt the attached resolution setting a public hearing for consideration of the vacation at
the Council'x ADri120, 2004, regular meeting.
Background / Analysis:
A valid petition for the vacation of a portion of the Woolcott Street right-of-way situated
between East Fourth Street and the Fourth/Fifth Alleywas submitted on December 22, 2003, by Mr.
and Mrs. Fred DeFrang, who own 100% of the abutting property. The Real Estate Committee
considered the proposed street vacation with regard to compensation and proposed compensation
based on several factors: (1) the property is constrained due to a steep topographic rise (to the south)
from East Fourth Street which makes access from the street undesirable, and therefore, access would
be only through the alley; (2) the west side of the property has a significant drop toward White's
Creek which will require a good deal of engineering to allow the construction of a substantial
retaining wall along that portion of the site to enable minimal development of the property; and (3)
the encumbrance of a major sewer line centered in the right-of-way which further reduces the
buildable area. Upon review of these factors, the Real Estate Committee agreed to charge a lower
price ($.20/square foot) for that property that geologically inhibits ease of development and a value
($2.66/square foot) for the remainder of the site not otherwise encumbered with the sewer line or
topographical restriction. This analysis was discussed with the applicants who have agreed to the
proposal. Therefore, the City's policy with regard to discussion and agreement of compensation
prior to proceeding with the petition processing has been met.
Per RCW 35.79, the legislative body shall set a time and date by resolution for consideration
of the petition and shall forward the issue to the Planning Commission for a recommendation. A
59
resolution setting a hearing date before the Council is included with this memorandum setting such
a date for April 20, 2004. The Commission will consider the petition at its March 24, 2004, regular
meeting. Staff will be available for questions.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE: March 16, 2004
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: SUE ROBERDS, ASSISTANT PLANNER
SUBJECT: MORRISON - PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION
3800 BLOCK OLD MILL ROAD
Summary: The proposal is to develop a 16 unit subdivision in the RS-9, Residential Single
Family zone.
Recommendation: The Department of Community Development recommends that the City
Council concur with the recommendation of the Planning Commission to approve the MORRISON
preliminary subdivision citing the Planning Commission's conditions, findings, and conclusions in
support of that action.
Background / Analysis:
Per RCW 58.17, if a city, town or county has established a planning commission, such
commission or agency shall review all preliminary plats and make recommendations thereon to the
city's legislative body to assure conformance of the proposed subdivision to the general purposes
of the comprehensive plan and to planning standards and specifications adopted by the city. Reports
of the planning commission or agency shall be advisory only.
Following a public heating conducted on February 11, 2004, the Planning Commission
moved 6-1 to recommend approval of the Morrison preliminary subdivision with conditions. The
property consists of approximately 5.48 acres situated west of Old Mill Road and south of Scrivner
Road and will result in 16 residential building sites in the RS-9, Residential Single Family zone.
Concerns addressed during the public heating dealt with the speed of traffic and road development
along Old Mill Road, historic drainage across the site, and the City's new low impact development
standards. The neighborhood's specific concerns are addressed in the Planning Commission's
February 11,2004, minutes excerpt which is attached for case of reference and were also addressed
in the conditions, findings and conclusions cited in support of the preliminary approval.
On March 3, 2004, copies of letters sent to the applicant by the Army Corps of Engineers
in September, 2003, and January, 2004, were anonymously delivered to the City making staff aware
of issues that the Army Corps is still working on with the applicant. While staffwas aware that the
Army Corps of Engineers had discussions with the applicant prior to stormwater work performed
on the site during the summer of 2003, those issues are between the Army Corps and the applicant.
The City does not have an issue with the applicant's work and, in fact, has issued a cleating and
grading permit for the preliminary stormwater work.

Council Memorandum - March 16, 2004
Morrison preliminary subdivision
Page 2
RCW 58.17.100 requires the legislative body to approve or reject the Planning Commission' s
recommendation following a public hearing conducted by the Planning Commission. If, after
consideration of the matter at a public meeting, the legislative body deems a change in the
recommendation is necessary, the legislative body shall adopt its own recommendations and approve
or disapprove the plat. Statutorily, this process must occur within 90 days of receipt of the
application.
In order to meet statutory requirements, and, because the City has completed its review of
the preliminary subdivision with the Planning Commission having conducted its public hearing and
forwarding its recommendation of approval, staff recommends that Council's action be to approve
the preliminary subdivision with an added finding (#23) recognizing the letters written bythe Army
Corps of Engineers (dated September 2, 2003, and January 5, 2004) while recognizing that those
letters cannot be considered because they were not part of the record created by the Planning
Commission at the single public heating allowed by Chapter 36.70.B RCW and Chapter 18.02
PAMC. Nonetheless, the City's wetlands regulations are complied with as set forth in Finding 12
and Condition 9. Additionally, the Corps is not precluded from enforcing its own regulations, which
in this situation have a more inclusive definition of wetland than do the City's regulations. This
action will allow the development proposal to continue. The proposed conditions address relevant
issues with appropriate provisions made for the public health, safety, and general welfare and ensure
the subdivision's conformity to established City development standards.
The recommended conditions, citing amended findings and conclusions, Planning
Commission minute excerpt, and staff report are attached for your information.

Findings and Conclusions
Morrison Preliminary Subdivision
Page 2
Findings:
1. Chapter 16.08 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) sets forth local
requirements for the approval of subdivisions.
2. 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.
3. 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 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.
4. The Port Angeles Public Works, Light, Parks, and Fire Departments reviewed the
proposed short plat. Their comments have been incorporated in the Department's
recommendation.
5. Preliminary approval is based upon a drawing dated received November 18, 2003,
prepared for Dan Morrison by Zenovic and Associates, Inc.
6. The subject property is identified as Low Density Residential (LDR) on the Port
Angeles Comprehensive Plan land use map.
7. The proposal has been reviewed with respect to the Comprehensive Plan. 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, Policy B.1, B.2, B.3, and B.4, Goal C; Transportation
Element Goal A, Policy A.3, A.6, B.11, B. 14 and B.15; Utilities and Public
Services Element Policy C.2; Capital Facilities Element Goal A, B, Policy B. 1,
B.3, B.4, B.5, B.6, B.7, C.2, C.3, C.4, and C.5.
Findings and Conclusions
Morrison Preliminary Subdivision
Page 3
8. The Comprehensive Plan requires concurrency for streets, water service, sanitary
sewer service and electrical service (Capital Facilities Element Policy A.9).
9. The City's Comprehensive Plan (Land Use Element Policy B.3) states that
development should be designed to further the grid system pattern. Preliminary
approval will be based upon the dedication of right-of-way to ensure compliance
with the policy.
10. The subject property is identified by the Port Angeles Zoning Map as Single
Family Residential (RS-9) which allows a density of up to 9 units per acre. The
proposed drawing indicates that each lot in the proposed subdivision will be at
least 9,000 square feet in size.
11. The site is currently served by Old Mill Road, which is a collector arterial and is
listed as a school walking route.
12. There are no environmentally sensitive areas on the site. However, a
jurisdictional non-regulated category IV wetland exists to the southwest of the site
which provides valuable functions that should be protected.
13. The site slopes downward from south to north. The site is not considered a
frequently flooded area as it is not listed on the Federal Emergency Management
Act (FEMA) maps which denote those areas that are in 100-year flood areas.
14. Transit service is available at the intersection of Old Mill Road and Ahlvers Street
located approximately 1,150 feet to the north of the subject site.
15. Building permits are required for all structures on the completed sites. All local
building and Fire Codes shall be complied with during construction including
residential sprinkler systems.
16. The Port Angeles School District has been notified of the development to allow
them to plan for needed public school facilities and routes.
17. The City's Parks Department has responded 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.
18. All utilities including potable water, sanitary waste, and refuse collection are
available in the area.
19. The site will be serviced by the City's Police, Fire, and Public Works
Departments.
20. The City's State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Official issued a
69
Findings and Conclusions
Morrison Preliminary Subdivision
Page 4
Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS #1054) on February 4, 2004, therefore
satisfying the City's responsibility under the Act.
21. A conditional use permit #03-10 was issued on August 27, 2003 to allow a duplex
unit on Lot 1.
22. The City's low impact development standards in suburban areas adopted earlier in
2003 were adopted with the understanding that subdivisions developed under the
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. Roadside ditches developed under
low impact development standards should be kept free of debris by adjacent
property owners.
23. Two letters written by the Army Corps of Engineers dated September 3, 2003, and
January 5, 2004, were anonymously delivered to City Hall on March 3, 2004,
indicating the Corps believes that a violation to its wetland regulatory authority
exists on the subject site. These letters cannot be considered, because they were
not part of the record created by the Planning Commission at the single public
hearing allowed by Chapter 36.70B RCW and Chapter 18.02 PAMC.
Conclusion:
Review of the preliminary subdivision indicates that the proposal complies with
requirements of the State Subdivision Act RCW 58.17, the City's Comprehensive
Plan, and Chapter 16.08 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code and is therefore in
the public interest. Nonetheless, the City's wetlands regulations are complied
with as set forth in Finding 12 and Condition 9. Additionally, the Corps is not
precluded from enforcing its own regulations, which in this situation have a more
inclusive definition of wetland than do the City's regulations.
Adopted by the Port Angeles City Council at its meeting of March 16, 2004.

Planning Commission Minutes
February 11, 2004
PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION - MORRISON - 3900 Block Old Mill Road:
Proposal for a 16-unit subdivision in the RS-9, Residential Single Family zone.
Associate Planner Scott Johns reviewed staff's report recommending approval of the
preliminary subdivision. Director Collins asked that the Fire Marshall comment on the proposed
length of the cul-de-sac.
Fire Marshall Ken Dubuc stated that although the cul-de-sac is longer than what is
generally built in the City, it was decided that if the interior street is extended to the proposed
length with a wide area approximately mid width to allow for a turn around, public safety issues
should not be an issue.
Chair Nutter opened the public hearing.
Steve Zenovic, 519 South Peabody, #22, Port Angeles, tVA represented the applicant and
was in general agreement with the staff report, and responded to a question that the road side
ditch will be 8' edge to edge with a 4:1 slope to grade creating a gentle slope. He asked that the
sensitive area tract be limited to that area within 50' of the neighbor's (west) pond. The property
owner wishes to create three 14,000 square foot lots, and he suggested that the future limitation
of duplexes within the subdivision should not be a condition of preliminary approval but should
be reviewed at the time a property owner wishes to consider such a development. Mr. Zenovic
used an overhead projector to describe how stormwater flows across the site to catch basins
which will connect to a detention system directing the discharge to an existing City stormwater
system in Old Mill Road.
In response to a question, Mr. Zenovic stated that the proposed stormwater system will
result in a much more controlled and lesser amount of stormwater leaving the site than what has
occurred prior to development.
Craig Ritchie, 212 East Fifth Street, Port Angeles, }VA represented Mr. and Mrs. Frizzell
and others in opposition to the proposed Morrison subdivision. Mr. Ritchie did not feel that the
design of the subdivision roadway meets the standards for providing adequate access roads and is
dangerous to the public, and that stormwater has not been addressed in the area. He stated that
the site contains a wetland and noted that water captured within the site would be directed into
the City's already inadequate stormwater system including additional runoff as a result of the
proposed development. An objection was raised to the applicant's design of the subdivision
which contains three 14,000 square foot lots that could potentially allow for a future proposal by
conditional use permit. A taped record of the October 21, 2003, City Council meeting at which
the City's Director of Community Development indicated that another duplex would probably
not be permitted in the area of the subdivision was submitted. Mr. Ritchie did not agree with the
manner in which development of the site has been approached in that a conditional use permit for
a duplex was applied for on the property prior to the subdivision application. He noted that the
State Subdivision Act requires subdivisions to comply with set standards and he did not agree
that the proposal meets standards for adequate roads.
In response to Commissioner Schramm, Mr. Ritchie responded that although the City has
approved subdivisions within the City with the same set of standards for roads that is being
proposed in this situation, he does not believe the established standards are safe. He stated that
the proposed interior roadway is narrow in width, does not allow for on-street parking, and is
excessive in length compared to other jurisdictions. He asked that the proposal be denied based

mainly on poor roadway design.
Director Collins suggested that if roof drainage is a concern, a condition could be added
to the preliminary approval requiring that all roof drains be tightlined to the stormwater system in
proposed Juniper Lane. He suggested that the preliminary drawing could be adjusted slightly to
reduce the areas of the proposed lots to slightly less than 14,000 square feet without reducing the
number of lots which would restrict the subdivision to a single family subdivision only without
the possibility of duplex lots. The cul-de-sac length does not pose a public safety problem. Fire
Department staff worked with the applicant to design a mid point turn around such that public
safety would not be a concern. The City's low impact development standards do not allow on-
street parking. While the applicant could chose to design the subdivision to a higher standard
which would allow on-street parking, but it is not a requirement.
In response to Commissioner Rasmussen, Director Collins stated that the City's low
impact development standards are designed to create less impervious street surface which should
allow better control of runoff into the stormwater system. The new standards will not eliminate
stormwater runoff but should not allow for a significant increase of runoff to be caused by new
development without some control.
Steve Zenovic responded that there are three goals in low impact development standards:
to reduce the amount of impervious surfaces which will reduce the amount of runoff; use
roadside ditching that can act as bioswales to trap sediments; and to slow down the runoff.
Water coming from the site at present currently enters the stormwater system on Dogwood Place
and along Old Mill Road. Post development runoff rate will not exceed pre development rate.
The stormwater system is designed to trap runoff and slowly release water into the stormwater
system - no additional pressure will be placed on the collection systems. The proposed
subdivision is planned to be one-third of the density allowed in the RS-9 zone at three units per
acre. The Fire Department has no concerns with the cul-de-sac length which was approved by
the Fire Marshall. The City does not recognize a wetland on the site. The subdivision as
proposed meets all the City's standards for the approval of a subdivision in the RS-9 zone.
(At this point, being after 7 p.m., Chair Nutter noted that no new audience members had
arrived after 6 p.m., but for the record, asked if anyone would like any previous speakers to
restate their concerns. No one asked that information be repeated.)
Commissioner Nutter was concerned that due to the traffic speed on Old Mill Road,
access to and from proposed Juniper Lane, being a 20-foot roadway, could be dangerous.
Due to the public hearing being commenced prior to the posted 7:00 p.m. hearing time,
Chair Nutter again asked if anyone arrived beyond 7:00 p.m. who would like to have any of the
earlier public testimony given between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. repeated. Seeing no one, the
public hearing was closed.
Discussion as to lot sizes being reduced so as to limit potential duplex lots and tight
lining roof drains to mitigate the flow of water from structures was discussed. It was determined
that the developer should have some choice as to lot sizes and that a condition could be added to
address additional runoff.
Commissioner Nutter was concerned that the low impact development standards do not
allow for a wide enough road entryway from a higher speed roadway, in this case, from Old Mill

Road. She also expressed concern with the length of the interior road and runoff fi.om the site.
In response to Commissioner Schramm, Steve Zenovic responded that an additional
drainage system along the north side of the site could additionally mitigate runoff from the site
without overburdening the stormwater system.
Commissioner Hewins moved to recommend approval of the preliminary
subdivision citing the following 10 conditions and 22 findings:
Conditions:

17. The City's Parks Department has responded 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.
18. All utilities including potable water, sanitary waste, and refuse collection are available in
the area.
19. The site will be serviced by the City's Police, Fire, and Public Works Departments.
20. The City's State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Official issued a Determination of
Nonsignificance (DNS #1054) on February 4, 2004, therefore satisfying the City's
responsibility under the Act.
21. A conditional use permit #03-10 was issued on August 27, 2003 to allow a duplex unit on
Lot 1.
22. The City's low impact development standards in suburban areas adopted earlier in 2003
were adopted with the understanding that subdivisions developed under the 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. Roadside ditches developed under low impact development
standards should be kept free of debris by adjacent property owners.
Conclusion:
A. Review of the preliminary subdivision indicates that the proposal complies with
requirements of the State Subdivision Act RCW 58.17, the City's Comprehensive Plan,
and Chapter 16.08 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code and is therefore in the public
interest.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT STAFF REPORT
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Scott Johns, Associate Planner
DATE: February 11, 2004
RE: Preliminary Subdivision - Morrison
APPLICANT: Dan Morrison
OWNER: 'Same
LOCATION: '3,g00 block of Old Mill Road at Rhodes Road intersection
PROPOSAL: Development of a 5.48 acre site in the RS-9, Residential Single Family zone into
16 residential building lots.
PROPERTY CHARACTERISTICS:
The property is described as being Parcel 3 of Short Plat 81-10-7 (Krattli), Volume 10, Page 89
of Short Plats. The 5.48 acre site is an irregular configuration as a result of three building lots being
previously divided out of the original rectangular shape. Two of the lots (approximately 125' x 165')
are located at the northeast comer, and one (approximately 157' x 475') is at the southwest comer. The
resulting subject property extends 925 feet west of Old Mill Road and is approximately 375 feet from
north to south at its widest point ( see attached application materials). The proposed 5.48 acre site
development will result in approximately 4.7 acres of property for residential site development with
0.78 acre dedicated for right-of-way improvements. The property is zoned RS-9, Residential Single
Family.
The properties to the north and northeast of the subject site are developed with single family
homes on lots in compliance with the underlying RS-9 zone located in the Hawthorn Division 1
subdivision. Across Old Mill Road to the east are single family homes. Areas to the south are also
developed with single family homes, however, those homes are situated on larger, rural sized lots. The
area to the west and northwest is undeveloped forest and pasture. The property to the southwest
contains an unregulated Category IV jurisdictional wetland. The wetland is unregulated due to its small
Morrison Subdivision

size and classification, however significant functions of stormwater detention and habitat exist, and
those functions should be protected through the requiring of an undisturbed vegetated buffer of at least
25 feet from the edge of the wetland. The buffer should be clearly marked in the field and on the final
plat map. An Environmentally Sensitive Areas tract established per PAMC 15.20.090 along the western
25 foot portion of Lot 5 would be most appropriate.
(See application materials labeled Attachment B)
DEPARTMENTAL REVIEW:
The Fire Department. This subdivision is outside of the four-minute response time area.
PAMC 18.08.110 states that each single family residence and duplex within a new subdivision
outside the four-minute response time 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. Such subdivisions shall then be allowed to have the
following reduced standards for cul-de-sac size and fire hydrant spacing:
A. Cul-de-sac diameter measured from curb to curb may be reduced from the
normal 100 feet standard to either 90 feet or, if the cul-de-sac is restricted and
posted for no parking, to 80 feet; and
B. Distance between fire hydrants may be increased from the normal standard of
500 feet average spacing between hydrants to not more than 1,000 feet.
Fire hydrants are not shown on the preliminary plat. In order to meet the requirements as stated
above, an additional fire hydrant will need to be placed within the subdivision. A preferred
place for the additional hydrant would be on the north side of the subdivision road, in the area
west of lot #5.
Fire department access roads are required to have a minimum of 20' in clear width. In order to
meet this requirement within the subdivision, both sides of the road must be posted with NO
PARKING signs. If the 80 foot cul-de-sac is chosen, the cul-de-sac must also be posted with
NO PARKING signs.
The City Light Department Electrical plans and costs will be determined upon approval
of submitted plan. Approximate location is 24' from platted center line.
The City will be responsible for the following items:
· Providing and installing conduit, vaults, cable and related equipment in the utility right
of way.
· Providing and installing padmount transformers and pedestals,
· Providing and installing street lights.
The owner / contractor will be responsible for the following:
· All costs of labor & materials provided by the City.
· Survey / staking property comers & and cul-de-sac bulb radius, bring area to final grade
and provide trenching (24" x 47" depth x 900' +/- length), meeting WAC Chapter 296-
155N Excavation, Trenching, and Shoring requirements.
Morrison Subdivision
February 1 I, 2004

· All backfill and compaction.
· Coordination with other utilities for joint use of electrical trench (telephone, cable, etc.).
The Public Works and Utilities Department had the following comments:
All public improvements shall be in accordance with the City's Urban Services Standards and
Guidelines.
1. Storm drainage:
a. On Old Mill Road, at the south end of the asphalt street taper, there is a notation for the
future storm main extension. Instead of capping line, align pipe with existing ditch and
install trash rack/catch basin.
b. Drainage calculations required for proposed detention. Label all topographic contours.
c. Was storm drain line & man hole installed as previously proposed between lots 2 & 37 How
is the drainage going to be collected along the south side of lots 1-57
d. Reestablish / regrade the existing ditch along the north side of proposed subdivision if
needed.
e. Driveway culverts when installed will be restricted to 30" in length.
f. Where is proposed entrance for existing SRF at southwest comer.
2. Water:
a. Size of proposed water main?
b. Verify fire hydrant location with Fire Marshal. Fire Hydrant to conform to City standards,
will require approval be water division prior to purchasing / installation,
c. Dual water meters (1 service line with 2 meterS) may be more desirable for the larger lots.
d. Water meter placement to be outside traveled driveway areas.
3. Sanitary Sewer:
a. Dual side sewer laterals may be more desirable for some lots. (6" pvc lateral to property line
required.)
b. Clean outs to be installed on lines servicing lot 13 and for the existing SRF south of the cul-
de-sac.
c. Install 4" x 4" pressure treated posts at end of each lateral, s/s and buried pipe depth
indicated on post.
The Building Department commented that any covenants more restrictive than Planning
Division or Building Code shall not be enforced by the City. (Association, etc.) All structures will
require a building permit.
The City's Parks and Recreation Department noted that no new parks are planned for the
area or within the subdivision and that the Parks Comprehensive Plan would identify the need for parks
in the area.
The Port Angeles School District was sent a copy of the subdivisi6n proposal and commented
that the.proposal will have no negative effect on local area schools as the school population at present
is below the capacity of existing facilities.

PUBLIC COMMENT:
Property owners within 300 feet of the proposed subdivision were mailed notice of the proposal
on December 22, 2003. The property was posted on December 22, 2003, and publication appeared in
the Peninsula Daily News on December 26, 2003. One letter in opposition to the project was received
on January 7, 2004. The letter resubmitted letters that were previously submitted during an appeal of
CUP 03-10 for the placement of a duplex unit on the parcel at the location of proposed Lot # 1. The
contention is that the project has been piece-mealed under the State Environmental Protection Act.
Previous to this application the applicant had applied for a Clearing, Grading, Filling and Drainage
Permit to create a stormdrainage system to handle the stormwater runoff from this project. That
application was accompanied by a SEPA checklist that indicated that the property would be divided into
as many residential lots as zoning would allow. That SEPA checklist was reviewed and a determination
on nonsignificance was issued. A second SEPA checklist was reviewed in association with CUP 03-10
for the duplex request. A second determination ofnonsignificance was issued for that project as well.
Even though CUP 03-10 was appealed on the basis of piece mealed SEPA review, and the appeal was
denied, the letter writer resubmitted the same documentation and makes the same argument.
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.
Designation
The Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map identifies the site as Low Density Residential
(LDR). Low Density Residential allows an overall residential density of a project to range up
to 9 units per net acre and is intended to be for the development of single family homes. The
following goals, policies and objectives have been identified as being the most relevant to the
proposed subdivision:
IV. GROWTH MANAGEMENT ELEMENT

Facilities Element concurrency policy.
Policy B.2: Single family lots should be ofreasonable shape and should have access provided
by an alley or by a local access street or a collector arterial.
Policy B.3: All residential developments should be designed with the provisions of fire
protection and service vehicle access as key factors in the street design and circulation pattern.
For efficient circulation, rights-of-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.4: All residential developments should be encouraged to preserve and capitalize on
existing unusual, unique, and interesting natural features, should preserve and utilize natural
vegetation, should utilize and preserve scenic views, should maximize southern exposures,
should offer protection from prevailing winds, and should be designed to minimize energy use.
Goal C: To have a community of viable districts and neighborhoods with a variety of residential
opportunities for personal interaction, fulfillment and enjoyment, attractive to people of all ages,
characteristics and interests.
VI. 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: Planning for transportation services and facilities (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.

VII. UTILITIES AND PUBLIC SERVICES ELEMENT
Policy C.2: All new utility services should be underground.
X. CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT
Goal A: To provide and maintain safe and financially feasible urban services and capital facilities at
or above stated levels of service to all City residents and the general public.
Goal B: To provide urban streets and utilities at minimum levels of service for alt city residents and
the general public.
Policy B.I: All arterial streets shall function at an average daily level of service of D or better.
Policy B.3: The City shall not approve any development that is not served with water service
at or greater than the following level of service standards at the time of development: Single
family units: 2 gallons per minute ~ 30 psi ( fire - 1,000 gallons per minute ~ 20 psi).
Policy B.4: The City shall not approve any development that is not served with sewer service
at or greater than a level of service standard of 300 gallons per day per person at the time of
development.
Policy B.5: The City shall not approve any development that is not served with electrical
service at or greater than a level of service standard of 120/220 volts per service at the time of
development.
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 B.7: The City should not approve any development that cannot be served with
telecommunications service at or greater than the following level of service standards at the
time of development: telephone, residential: I service per unit / cable television, residential: 1
service per unit.
Goal C: To provide urban services at minimum levels of service for all city residents and the general
public.
Policy C.I: The Port Angeles School District should develop a capital facilities plan, which
the City will consider for inclusion in the Comprehensive Plan. The capital facilities plan
should contain at least a six-year plan for public financing of such facilities as may be necessary
to provide adequate public schools at or greater than the following level of service standards
in order to meet anticipated increases in student enrollment, which may be anticipated based
on the School District's projected enrollment figures and residential growth as provided for in
the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan:
High School: 125 square feet of permanent, appropriate educational space
per 'student,
Morrison Subdivision
February 11, 2004
Page 7
Middle School: 104 square feet of permanent, appropriate educational space
per student, and
Elementary School: 100 square feet of permanent, appropriate educational space
per student.
If capacity is inadequate to house students at the established level of service standards (LOS)
and adequate school funding is not available, then the demand for new facilities will be reduced
(e.g. through year round use of schools or by matching grade band enrollment to facility
capacities) or the level of service standards will be reduced to keep both schools and housing
development affordable to the majority of Port Angeles School District residents, Imposition
of Growth Management Act impact fees on or denial of new development will not be used as
a measure to prevent further degradation of school services, unless the reduced level of service
standards are deemed unacceptable to Port Angeles School District No. 121, Clallam County,
and the City of Port Angeles.
Policy C.2: The City should not approve any development that will not be served with
adequate transit service as determined in the comprehensive service and facilities plan for
transportation within six years from the time of development.
Policy C.3: The City should not approve any development that will not be served at or greater
than a city-wide level of service standard of 9 acres of parks per 1,000 population within six
years from the time of development.
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.
Policy C.5: The City should not approve any development that will not be served with solid
waste collection service at or less than a city-wide level of service standard of 400 pick up
accounts per 1000 population within six years from the time of development.
Policy C.7: The City should consider the cumulative effect of development on the City's need
for adequate public service buildings.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
A Determination of Non-Significance (DNS No. 1054) was issued for the proposal on February
4, 2003.
ZONING:
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 Residential Single Family (RS-9). The purpose and intent
of this zone is as follows:
88
Morrison Subdivision
February I i, 2004
Page 8
"This is a low density residential zone intended to create and presem, e 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 also 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."
The minimum lot area is 9,000 square feet. All lots shall comply with the minimum area and
dimensional requirements as follows:
Front: 25 feet
Rear: 25 feet, except 10 feet for detached accessory buildings in the
rear one-third of the lot.
Interior Side: 8 feet, except 3 feet for detached accessory buildings in the rear
Maximum Height: 30 feet
Lot Coverage: 30%
SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE (No. 1631 as amended):
The City's Subdivision Ordinance (No. 1631), codified as 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. Ifa proposed street and/or lot pattern for any zone in Port Angeles has
been made by the Council or 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 surfaced road to an existing improved public right-
of-way adequate to serve the existing and new lots.
Where the Comprehensive Plan or the City's official street plan indicates the necessity of a new right-of-way
ora required width or portion thereof for street purposes, whether within a new plat or new subdivision, or along the
boundaries ora new plat, new subdivision or new lot, such required right-of-way or portion thereof shall be dedicated
to the City of Port Angeles by the filing ora plat.
The Planning Commission may require plats to provide areas for parks, playgrounds, open spaces, recreation
facilities, schools, school grounds, safe walking conditions on school routes, transit stops, and drainage ways.
Each proposed subdivision and the ultimate use of the land therein shall be in the interests of public health,
safety and welfare, and subdividers shall be prepared to present evidence to this effect when requested by the
Commission.
Morrison Subdivision
February 11, 2004
Page 9
Restrictive covenants not contrary to existing regulations regarding the use of land, governing and binding
all future owners of lots or tracts, may be shown on any plat.
No Final plat of land within the force and effect of existing Zoning Regulations shall be approved unless it
is conforming with such Regulations.
Whenever there is a discrepancy between minimum standards or dimensions noted herein and those contained
in Zoning Regulations, Building Codes, or other official Regulations, the highest standard shall apply.
B. GENERAL PRINCIPLES, POLICIES. The Commission shall ensure that appropriate provision is
made for: (1) the harmonious development of neighborhoods by requiring coordination of streets within subdivisions
with existing or planned streets, or with other elements of the Comprehensive Plan; (2) adequate open spaces for
recreation, schools, light and air; (3) distribution of population and traffic which will create conditions favorable to
public health, safety and convenience.
C. STREETS.
1. The arrangement, character, extent, width, grade and location of all streets shall
conform with the Comprehensive Plan, the Capital Facilities Plan, the Urban Services Ordinance, and the Urban
Services Standards and Guidelines, and shall be considered in their relation to existing and planned roads, to
topographic conditions, to public convenience and safety, and in their appropriate relation to the proposed uses
of the land to be served by such roads.
2. Where such is not shown on the Comprehensive Plan, the arrangement of streets in a
subdivision shall either provide for the continuation or appropriate projection of existing streets in the
surrounding area; or shall conform to a street plan for the neighborhood, approved by the City, to meet a
particular situation where topographic or other conditions make continuance or conformance to existing streets
impracticable. This shall also apply to cluster subdivisions.
3. If a street plan for an area has been made by the City, the street layout of a proposed
subdivision in such an area shall be in general conformance to the plan.
4. When a portion of a subdivider's tract is to be subdivided, a street plan for the entire
tract shall be submitted to indicate how the street pattern of the plat submitted will coordinate with the entire
tract when fully platted and with streets in the surrounding area.
5. Where a tract is subdivided into lots or tracts larger in area than twice the minimum lot
size, the City may require an arrangement of lots and streets such as to permit a later re-subdivision in
conformity with the street and lot requirements specified in these Regulations.
6. Where a proposed subdivision abuts or contains an existing or proposed arterial street
or is adjacent to an existing or planned business, commercial or industrial district, the City may require
treatment as may be necessary (1) for the adequate protection of residential properties; and (2) to afford
separation of through and local traffic.
7. Where a subdivision borders or contains a railroad or limited access highway right-of-
way, the City may require a road approximately parallel to and on each side of such right-of-way at a distance
suitable for appropriate use of the intervening land. Such distances shall also be determined with due regard
for the requirements of approach grades and future grade separations.
8. Streets shall be laid out so as to intersect as nearly as possible at right angles. Acute
angle intersection shall be avoided.
9. There shall be no reserve strips controlling access to roads, except where the control
of such strips is definitely placed with the City under conditions approved by the Commission.
10. Sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students
who only walk to and from school shall be provided pursuant to RCW 5 8.17.060 and 58.17.110.
Morrison Subdivision
February 11, 2004
Page 10
E. LOTS.
1. The lot area, width, depth, shape and orientation, and the minimum building setback
lines shall be appropriate for the location of the subdivision, for the type of development and land use
contemplated, and for the type of street systems planned for the area, and shall conform with the requirements
of the Zoning Ordinance.
2. Excessive depth in relation to width shall be avoided. No lot shall have a depth greater
than three times its width.
3. Corner lots for residential use shall have extra width to permit appropriate building
setback from and orientation to both streets.
4. To ensure public health, convenience and safety, the subdividing of land shall provide,
by means ora public street, each lot with direct access to an existing public street that is improved to City street
standards.
5. Double frontage and reverse frontage lots shall be avoided, except where essential to
provide separation of residential development from arterial streets or to overcome specific disadvantages of
topography and orientation. A planting screen easement across which there shall be no right of access shall be
provided along the line of lots abutting such a principal arterial street or disadvantageous use.
6. Side lot lines shall be substantially at right angles or radial to street lines and front lot
lines.
7. No lot or lots for residential purposes shall be divided or sold into additional lots or
building sites, without compliance with Title 16 PAMC.
F. RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS.
1. Street Trees. 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.
S. SIGNAGE One (1) free standing sign no larger than twenty-four (24) square feet in area shall
be permitted for identification of the subdivision.
DEPARTMENTAL ANALYSIS:
The preliminary subdivision sketch indicates a 13 lot subdivision proposal with a cul de sac
entering the site from Old Mill Road. The original submittal was revised January 9, 2004, to be a 16
lot subdivision. The length of the cul-de-sac to the driveway at the east edge of Lot 16 is approximately
830 feet. The lots range in size from 9,026 square feet to 14,000 square feet. Three lots (#s 1, 2, & 5)
are 14,000 sr. The three lots that are over 14,000 sfare large enough to allow duplexes to be built if
allowed by Conditional Use Permit. A Conditional Use Permit (CUP 03~ 10) for a duplex was approved
on August 27, 2003, for the subject site at the location of proposed Lot 1. The site development
proposal results in a development ot'2.9 units per net acre. The preliminary plat should be redesigned
to reduce the lot sizes below 14,000 square feet, if an additional lot(s) can be created.
Primary access to the site will be from Old Mill Road, a collector arterial. The cul-de-sac access
road named Juniper Lane will provide direct access to all the lots. Juniper lane is designed to current
standards for low impact development. The paved surface will be 20' wide with vegetated ditches and
Morrison Subdivision
February 11, 2004
Page 11
a 4' walking path with an all-weather surface along the north side. The cul-de-sac bulb will be 90 feet
in diameter. Juniper Lane is designed with a curvilinear configuration consistent with the purpose of
the RS-9 zone. Paved sidewalks with handicap ramps will be installed at the Juniper Lane/Old Mill
Road comers. The sidewalk will extend along the west side of Old Mill Road for the entire frontage
of the property. The City of Port Angeles Urban Services Standards and Guidelines, Transportation
Chapter Goal 3G. 100 is to plant street trees on arterial streets in the City. PAMC 16.08.070(F)(1),
RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS states that street trees are protection against excessive heat and
glare and enhance the attractiveness and value of abutting property. Street trees should be located along
the property's frontage of Old Mill Road. The Urban Services Standards and Guidelines contains
recommendations for appropriate tree species, or City staff can make recommendations for a choice of
trees and their appropriate placement.
The Revised Code of Washington RCW 58.17 contains the States'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 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. No new parks are proposed for the subdivision, although the City's park plan indicates that
park facilities in the vicinity are inadequate. However, the City has not required play areas in
subdivisions with 30 or fewer lots. Existing school facilities are adequate, and Old Mill Road is a
school walking route, and sidewalks must be provided on Old Mill Road. The Clallam Transit bus
stops on Ahlvers Road at its intersection with Old Mill Road. With conditions regarding improvement
to local and interior access streets, utilities and the requirement for the submittal and approval of
drainage plans, the public interest and safety is served. Drainage plans were submitted previously and
have been reviewed and approved by the City's Public Works Department. A drainage pipe has been
installed between proposed lots 2 and 3 that captures drainage water flowing from the south onto the
property. A 20-foot easement (10 feet on each side of the drainage pipe) for future maintenance of the
drainage line is required.
The property adjacent to the southwest contains a small wetland pond. The pond was previously
excavated from a wetland area prior to implementation of current Environmentally Sensitive Areas
regulations and is classified as a Category IV wetland. Category IV wetlands that are less than 10,000
square feet in area are not regulated by the City of Port Angeles. The wetland in this instance is smaller
than 10,000 square feet in area. Although the wetland is below the threshold size to be regulated under
PAMC 15.24, the functions and values provided by the small pond should be protected. A 25 foot
buffer vegetated with native plants should be required as a condition of approval for the subdivision.
The buffer would be most effective if established as a Sensitive Areas Tract per PAMC 15.20.090. A
25' by 157' area would be a total of 3,925 square feet, leaving 10,075 square feet of Lot 5 available for
building area.

2. 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.
3. 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 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.
4. The Port Angeles Public Works, Light, Parks, and Fire Departments reviewed the proposed
short plat. Their comments have been incorporated in the Department's recommendation.
5. Preliminary approval is based upon a drawing dated received November 18, 2003, prepared
for Dan Morrison by Zenovic and Associates, Inc.
6. The subject property is identified as Low Density Residential (LDR) on the Port Angeles
Comprehensive Plan land use map.
7. The proposal has been reviewed with respect to the Comprehensive Plan. 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, Policy B. 1,
B.2, B.3, and B.4, Goal C; Transportation Element Goal A, Policy A.3, A.6, B.11, B. 14 and
B. 15; Utilities and Public Services Element Policy C.2; Capital Facilities Element Goal A,
B, Policy B.1, B.3, B.4, B.5, B.6, B.7, C.2, C.3, C.4, and C.5.
8. The Comprehensive Plan requires concurrency for streets, water service, sanitary sewer
service and electrical service (Capital Facilities Element Policy A.9).
9. The City's Comprehensive Plan (Land Use Element Policy B.3) states that development
should be designed to further the grid system pattern. Preliminary approval will be based
upon the dedication of right-of-way to ensure compliance with the policy.
10. The subject property is identified by the Port Angeles Zoning Map as Single Family
Residential (RS-9) which allows a density of up to 9 units per acre. The proposed drawing
indicates that each lot in the proposed subdivision will be at least 9,000 square feet in size.

11. The site is currently served by Old Mill Road, which is a collector arterial and is listed as a
school walking route.
12. There are no environmentally sensitive areas on the site. However, a jurisdictional non-
regulated category IV wetland exists to the southwest of the site. The wetland provides
valuable functions that should be protected.
13. The site slopes downward from south to north. The site is not considered a frequently
flooded area as it is not listed on the Federal Emergency Management Act (FEMA) maps
which denote those areas that are in 100-year flood areas.
14. Transit service is available at the intersection of Old Mill Road and Ahlvers Street located
approximately 1,150 feet to the north of the subject site.
15. Building permits are required for all structures on the completed sites. All local building
and Fire Codes shall be complied with during construction including residential sprinkler
systems.
16. The Port Angeles School District has been notified of the development to allow them to plan
for needed public school facilities and routes.
17. The City's Parks Department has responded 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.
18. All utilities including potable water, sanitary waste, and refuse collection are available in the
area.
19. The site will be serviced by the City's Police, Fire, and Public Works Departments.
20. The City's State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Official issued a Determination of
Nonsignificance (DNS #1054) on February 4, 2004, therefore satisfying the City's
responsibility under the Act.
21. A conditional use permit #03-10 was issued on August 27, 2003 to allow a duplex unit on
Lot 1.
22. The City's low impact development standards in suburban areas adopted earlier in 2003
were adopted with the understanding that subdivisions developed under the 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. Roadside ditches developed under low impact development standards should be
kept free of debris by adjacent property owners.

Re: Proposed Development at 3900 Block, Old Mill Road,
Applicant Dan Morrison
My Clients: DelGuTzifFrizzell
Greetings:
On behalf of Lisa DelOuzzi and Virginia DelOuzzi Frizzell, please accept the following
comments, and please accept this as a letter requesting a copy of any decision once it is made.
Please include these comments whether or not we attend the public hearing. As you are aware,
we have addressed this at an earlier public hearing, and with earlier written comments. We adopt
those comments both at the public hearing and in writing as our comments in this matter (see
printouts enclosed).
I'wouid iike to emphasize that it appears that our comments earlier disregarded were
actually correct. Generally speaking, these were comments which stated that the City and the
project proponent were keenly aware of the piecemealing of the project, starting with a
permission for filling unaccompanied by a short plat or long plat proposal, and then a proposal for
a duplex, not for two duplexes. Now we see a subdivision together with a proposal for two
duplexes.
As you are aware, a subdivision must be in the public interest, and must not only meet all
the requirements of your local ordinances but must also meet the requirements of the State
Subdivision Act, RCW 58.17.

It should again be pointed out that the area being built upon with this subdivision is
effectively a wetland which has been filled. It is respectfully submitted that as a matter of law it is
not in the public interest to encourage the filling and developing of wetlands. It should be further
emphasized that a subdivision is not a matter of right ora property owner but is a matter for the
legislative body to determine is in the best interest of the rest of'the public, not the developer.
It is respectfully submitted that had the developer announced plans to build a subdivision
at the time that he requested approval for filling the wetland, the environmental study would have
been significantly greater in depth.
It is respectfully submitted that because of the nature of this project, the environmental
study should now be done on the wetland issues that we have discussed in the earlier hearings on
the specific property last year.
In addition, an environmental study should be done on drainage issues and a study should
be conducted to determine the impact of multiple duplexes in a pr/madly single family residential
area.
It is respectfully submitted that until these are done, the City should not entertain the
subdivision approval or denial.
There have been no traffic studies to determine what these divisions will cause in the way
of impact for traffic in the area. The planning commission should be aware that the ingress and
egress in this area are extremely limited. The addition of 13 residential lots with two of the lots
be/_ng for double occUpancy is a significant increase in families and traffic... ..'"
We are also requesting that the City Council require the developer to maintain compliance
with all of zoning, lot size requirements, and not utilize cul-de-sacs as opposed to through-streets
in its subdivision. This is both for fire safety and traffic control. Two entrances and exits allow
for much better traffic flow in the area.
Yours truly,
Craig A. Pdtchie

Re: Determination of Nonsignificance No. 1040 Appeal to City Council
Project Description: Construction of Duplex on a 5.14 acres site
Proponent: Dan Morrison
Location: Old Mill Road directly west of intersection with Rhodes Road,
Parcel 3, Book of Surveys, Page 67, Records of Clallam County Auditor
Our Client: DelGuzzi
Dear City Council:
This is an appeal pursuant to PMC 15.24.
The area being developed is wetland area. The City's storm drainage system is
· ........ inadequate as'stated innurnerous documents and hearings before the 'City Council audPlanning '- : .... ,
Commission, and the drainage of the Wetland into the current stormwater drainage system during :
heat rainfall is not adequate. Previously the City had designated the area as critical areas,
wetland, and has allowed the developer to fill in the property, which was a former wetland, and
now apparently claims that because it is filled in it is no longer wetland.
The objection is that the City has failed to recognize its former decisions that this area is
wetland and is not complying with any of PMC 15.24. In the past, people in the area have sought
to do developments and been told they could not because it was wetland. Now the developer has
simply filled in the wetland and obtained the City's approval to build after filling in the wetland.
The result is likely to be that the filled wetland will no longer exist, thus depriving the state of
habitat, but further, the filled wetland will no longer accept the water that it once used to, and it
will cause the water to overflow onto the adjoining properties which used to be upslope but now,
because of the fill, are downslope.
\~Erika~¢raig's'J~y Oocuments'~DelGuzz~city Ir re wetlan~sl~04
P'gge 2
It is submitted that the City's effective approval of this drainage plan creates liability for
the City for approving the development should the inevitable happen and flooding and drainage
occur due to the changed slope of the land. The City should not issue the building permits and
should require removal of the fill.
Further, the' actions of the City in AuguSt of 2002 apparently approving filling and
grading did not take into consideration the developer's plans. Thus, the cumulative effect of the
decision in 2002 was not considered. This was either based upon a lack of full disclosure by the
developer owner of the property, or an intent by the City to evade the SEPA requirements by
piecemealing the project and not considering the cumulative effect.
Please consider this letter an appeal of the determination of non-significance dated 8/7/03
and received 8/13/03, as well.
Yours truly,

Further, appellants object to the authorization to fill areas which have been traditionally
wet and/or covered with water because the Planning Department and/or Planning Commission
knew of the developer's plans in the future and refused to consider the developer's plans for
filling for the purpose of applying for development purposes in the furore, and consequently did

Responsible Official must be satisfied that the applicant has complied with federal
laws governing protection of the waters of the United States."
21. A conditional use permit #03-10 was issued on August 27, 2003 to allow a duplex
unit on Lot 1.
22. The City's low impact development standards in suburban areas adopted earlier in
2003 were adopted with the understanding that subdivisions developed under the
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. Roadside ditches developed under
low impact development standards should be kept free of debris by adjacent
property owners.
Conclusion:.
Review of the preliminary subdivision indicates that the proposal complies with
requirements of the State Subdivision Act RCW 58.17, the City's Comprehensive
Plan, and Chapter 16.08 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code and is therefore in
the public interest.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE: March 16, 2004
To: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: SUE ROBERDS, ASSISTANT PLANNER
SUBJECT: PILOT PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION
14TM AND "N" STREETS
Summary_: The proposal is to develop a 30 unit subdivision in the RS-9, Residential Single
Family zone.
Recommendation: The Department of Community Development recommends that the City
Council concur with the recommendation of the Planning Commission to approve the PILOT
7reliminary subdivision citing the Planning Commission's conditions, findings, and conclusions in
rapport of that action.
Background / Analysis:
Following a public heating on February 11, 2004, the Planning Commission moved to
unanimously recommend approval of the Pilot preliminary subdivision. The property is located at
the southwest comer of the intersection of West Fourteenth Street and "N" Street and will result in
30 residential building sites in the RS-9, Residential Single Family zone. Concerns addressed during
the public heating dealt with the speed of traffic and road development along "N" Street, historic
drainage across the site, and issues with the City's new low impact development standards which
will prevent on-street residential or visitor parking. The neighborhood's specific concerns are
addressed in the Planning Commission's February 11, 2004, minutes excerpt which is attached for
ease of reference. These issues were also addressed in the conditions, findings and conclusions cited
in support of the preliminary approval with the exception of the disappointment expressed by some
neighbors that low impact development standards do not allow for on-street parking which they
believe will inevitably negatively affect them.
Per RCW 58.17, if a city, town or county has established a planning commission, such
commission or agency shall review all preliminary plats and make recommendations thereon to the
city legislative body to assure conformance of the proposed subdivision to the general purposes of
the comprehensive plan and to planning standards and specifications adopted by the city. Reports
of the planning commission or agency shall be advisory only. The legislative body shall approve or
deny preliminary subdivision applications 'following a public hearing conducted by the Planning
Commission. Staff recommends that Council's action be to approve the preliminary subdivision
with the conditions as recommended by the Planning Commission which are attached to this

4. Electric utility service to the subdivision shall be underground and shall be
coordinated with other utilities for joint use of the trench.
5. Prior to final plat approval, an 8 inch water service shall be extended to the lots as
required by the Public Works and Utilities Department.
6. Stormwater improvement plans shall be submitted for approval per the City's Urban
Services Standards and Guidelines and installed prior to final plat approval.
Installation may be phased with the three phases proposed for final approval as
proposed in the January 9, 2004, application.
7. Sanitary sewer shall be extended to the new lots as required by the Public Works
Department from West Fourteenth Street and West Sixteenth Street.

Page 2
8. Building setback areas shall be identified on the final plat and address numbers
provided by the City's Building Division shall be placed on the lots.
9. The applicant shall place a statement on the plat and make it known to all subsequent
purchasers of the lots that said lots are in the proximity of the William R. Fairchild
International Airport and that the Port of Port Angeles does not warrant that these lots
will always be outside the lowest noise contour currently established for residential
use.
10. No lots shall access directly onto West Fourteenth or "N" Street.
Findings:
A. Preliminary approval is for the 32-unit subdivision submitted by Zenovic and
Associates on January 9, 2004, for Pilot International identified as being in Suburban
Lot 78 within the Townsite of Port Angeles and located at the southwest corner of
the intersection of"N" Street and West Fourteenth Street. The site is approximately
8.66 acres in size and is nearly square in configuration.
B. The subject property is identified by the Port Angeles Zoning Map as Single Family
Residential (RS-9) which allows a density of up to 9 units per acre. The proposed
drawing indicates that each lot in the proposed subdivision will be at least 9,000
square feet in area.
3. Chapter 16.08 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) sets forth local
requirements for the approval of subdivisions and Section 16.08.050(B)(1) PA_MC
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.
4. The Revised Code of Washington RCW 5 8.17 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 subdivision is proposed in three phases: Phase I will consist of the development
112
Conditions, Findings and Conclusions - Pilot Preliminary Subdivision
March 16, 2004
Page 3
of Lots 1- 6 (along West Sixteenth Street); Phase II will consist of Lots 7 - 19 (east
cul-de-sac); and Phase m will consist of Lots 20-32 (west cul-de -sac). No timing
for the phasing is proposed in the preliminary plat and should be addressed in the
final submittal. Section 16.08 PAMC states that the final plat shall be submitted to
the Community Development Department within five years after City Council
approval of the preliminaryplat. Said preliminary approval shall become void unless
a final plat is submitted and approved by the City within the five year period.
6. The Port Angeles Public Works, Light, Parks, and Fire Departments reviewed the
proposed short plat. Their comments and specific conditions have been incorporated
in the Department's recommendation. Water, power, garbage pickup,
telecommunications, sewer, and emergency services are available within acceptable
standards to the site or will be extended through conditions to the preliminary plat.
7. The subject property is identified as Low Density Residential (LDR) on the Port
Angeles Comprehensive Plan land use map.
8. 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. 10).. 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.1, B.2, B.3, and B.4, Goal
C; Transportation Element Goal A, Policy A.3, A.6, B.10, B.11, B.14, and B.18;
Utilities and Public Services Element Policy C.2; Capital Facilities Element Goal A,
B, Policy B.1, B.3, B.4, B.5, B.6, B.7, C.2, C.3, C.4, and C.5.
9. 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
10. The site is currently served by West Fourteenth Street, West Sixteenth Street, and
"N" Street. None of the access streets are fully improved. "N" Street is a collector
arterial and a designated school walking route but is not a designated bicycle route.
Improvements to West Fourteenth Street will be required such that the final roadway
is an improved width of 30' with a ditch and 4' pedestrian walking path established
113
Conditions, Findings and Conclusions - Pilot Preliminary Subdivision
March 16, 2004
Page 4
on the south side per the City's new suburban low impact development standards.
The City's Urban Services and Guidelines Standards (Section 3G. 100 Street Trees
and Landscaping) suggests that street trees should be planted on arterial streets in the
City and in other specified areas. Right-of-way dedication and improvement for a
ditch and pedestrian walking path are required along the site's southern frontage of
30' for the continued development of West Sixteenth Street.
11. The City's low impact development standards for suburban areas were adopted in
2003 with the understanding 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. Roadside ditches developed under low
impact development standards should be kept free of debris by adjacent property
owners.
12. 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 16.08.060 F PAMC 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.
13. There are no environmentally sensitive areas on the site. The site slopes west to
northeast. 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 ofstormwater 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.
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. School busses travel along
both "N" and Fourteenth Streets. Hamilton School is the closest school to the site.

16. The City's Parks Department responded 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 approximately ½ mile north of the subject site along "N" Street.
The nearest public playground area is located approximately one-half, mile + north
(Crown Park) or east (Lincoln Park).
17. The site will be serviced 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 (SEPA) Official issued a Determination
of Nonsignificance for the preliminary subdivision on February 5, 2004, theref,ore
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 January 12, 2004. The property was posted on January 12, 2004, and
publication appeared in the Peninsula Daily News on January 15, 2004. No written
comments have been received to date.
Conclusions:
A. As conditioned, the proposed short plat is consistent with the Port Angeles
Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code.
B. As conditioned, the proposal is consistent with the Port Angeles Subdivision
Ordinance, Chapter 16.08 PAMC, and Chapter 58.17 RCW of`the Washington State
Subdivision Act
C. As conditioned, appropriate provisions have been made for the public health, saf,ety
and general welf,are 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.
D. As conditioned, 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.
E. The site has served as a drainage area over the years due to its topography. Clearing
and grading activities will require handling of the existing drainage and future
stormwater from the site as a result of development through the subdivision process.
F. 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 - PILOT - West 14th and "N" Street: Proposal for a 30-
unit subdivision in the RS-9, Residential Single Family zone.
Commissioner Rasmussen indicated that he lives in the immediate area but does not have any
financial interest or business interest in the proposal. Chair Nutter asked if there was any objection
from the audience to Commissioner Rasmussen remaining for the hearing.
Jim Hendrickson, 4519 South Coyote Lane, asked if that meant that Mr. Rasmussen should not
be able to listen to the proceeding? Chair Nutter explained that if anyone objected or felt that Mr.
Rasmussen could not be fair in his assessment due to his residency in the area, he would step down.
There being no objection from anyone present, Commissioner Rasmussen remained and Chair Nutter
opened the public hearing.
Director Collins reviewed the staff report recommending approval of the preliminary subdivision
and answered questions from the Commission regarding transit service in the area.
Bill Jensen, 426 Rhodes Road, Port Angeles, WA was concerned with public safety and quality
of life in the neighborhood being significantly at issue with development of the property.
Stormwater concerns in the area are long standing. He was not in favor of development of the site.
Chair Nutter explained to Mr. Jensen that the item he is concerned about is actually Item #2 on the
Agenda not the item under discussion.
Steve Zenovic, 519 South Peabody Street, Port,4ngeles, WA questioned whether it is necessary
(Condition #1) to redesign the streets to be curvilinear for such a short cul-de-sac. The streets end
in cul-de-sacs which are somewhat curvilinear in design. He noted that there is only 17' of
pavement on the improved portion of West Sixteenth Street and he asked that clarification be on the
record that the requirement is to place 10' north of the centerline rather than a full width of 30'. He
asked who will be responsible for upkeep of the proposed play area as the property owner does not
wish to place covenants on the subdivision to cover maintenance for such a use. He suggested that
perhaps the developer could assist in the upgrade of another play area in the neighborhood.
Director Collins responded that the nearest property owned by the City for recreational purposes
is located north on "N" Street at West Tenth and "N", but the area is not developed and may be
surplussed by the City rather than developed as a park.
Mr. Zenovic responded to Commissioners Schramm and Hewins regarding general stormwater
runoff across the site, the installation of the area water system, and underground stormwater
detention plans. Site grading will allow adequate containment of the historic stormwater drainage
problems in the area which have previously been contained on the site due to the topographic drop
of the property from "N" Street south.
Commissioner Rasmussen discussed problems with traffic on"N" Street south of West Sixteenth
Street. He asked if some measure could be taken to warn traffic traveling south on "N" Street that
the roadway narrows significantly at the crest of the hill south of West Sixteenth Street. Mr. Zenovic
stated that signage could be placed to warn those traveling along the roadway of approaching width
changes.
Michael Sofie, 2213 West Fourteenth Street, Port Angeles, WA noted that as a 25-year resident
of the area, he has seen standing water on the subject property as a usual winter condition which has
been somewhat reduced by a ditch connecting to the City's stormwater system in the past few years,
but has not totally managed the water. He stated a concern with the width of"N" Street as the area
is fairly congested. The proposed streets (cul-de-sacs) will funnel out directly across fi.om his
driveway and he would not like to see access from abutting lots onto West Fourteenth Street. He is

Page 12
not in favor of parking on the south side of the street and would like some assurance that homes built
in the subdivision would be similar to others that exist in the area to ensure that property values
remain constant. The full development of West Fourteenth Street (north side) allows for residents
to have on-street parking but with the low impact development standards allowed in the proposed
subdivision, no on-street parking within the development will be allowed, so he suspects parking will
spill over to the north side of Fourteenth Street in front of existing neighbors' homes or along "N"
Street.
Director Collins responded to questions raised, that West Sixteenth Street was originally
designated as a residential access street intended to be 34' wide from curb to curb. Mr Zenovic is
correct that the City would require an additional 10' of paving plus a ditch and walkway along the
north side which would provide a total width of 27'. Such development would comply with the
City's low impact development standards but would not allow for parking on the north side of West
Sixteenth Street. West Fourteenth Street was originally built as an arterial street with 40' expected
so the existing development required 20' of paving north of centerline, while there is only 17' on
West Sixteenth (south side). With an additional 10' along the south side of West Fourteenth Street,
which is the requirement for completion of the street to low impact development standards, a 30'
width would be reached but that would not be adequate to allow parking along West Fourteenth
Street. In building to low impact development standards, no parking would be allowed along the
north side of West Sixteenth Street or the south side of West Fourteenth Street.
Steve Zenovic noted that, in response to concerns regarding stormwater drainage concerns in the
area, the stormwater containment and discharge system engineered for the proposal will
accommodate historic drainage problems in the entire area. All of the problems addressed by the
neighbors will be resolved in the proposed work without which, nothing will be resolved. Design
of lots on the cul-de-sacs allows access from the cul-de-sacs, not from West Fourteenth Street.
Gail }venden, 2205 }Vest Fourteenth Street, Port~4ngeles, }V~4 agreed with the previous speaker
and, noted the potential of increased traffic hazards along "N" and West Fourteenth Streets given
the proposed narrow road widths. She agreed that no parking should be allowed from the
subdivision along the north side of West Fourteenth Street which is very congested at present. She
felt the density is too great for the area and that no on-street parking is a problem.
MichaelSofie commented that it would be better for everyone if street development is consistent
everywhere and that if development along West Fourteenth Street is not required to match existing
street development, even more congestion than what already occurs will result. Traffic in the area
requires a wider street and on-street parking.
While the Commission agreed that a neighborhood park would be nice, without the City's
agreement to maintain such a play area, it was decided that maintenance of such a play area would
be an issue.
Director Collins noted that staff would be in agreement to a rewording of proposed Condition
#1 to state that the subdivision design should contain curvilinear streets as long as it doesn't reduce
the number of lots or results in nonconforming lots.
Following lengthy discussion on points made by speakers, Commissioner Schramm moved to
recommend approval of the preliminary subdivision citing the following amended conditions,
findings, and conclusions:
Conditions:
1. Interior cul-de-sacs shall be designed to be curvilinear if possible, named, dedicated, and
Planning Commission Minutes
February 11, 2004
Page 13
constructed per the City's urban service standards, which includes a 20' asphalt surface with
ditches and a minimum 4' pedestrian walking path separated from the roadway by the ditch
prior to approval of the final plat. Signage shall be placed on interior cul-de-sacs indicating
that on-street parking is prohibited along both sides of the streets.
2. Thirty (30') foot of right-of-way shall be dedicated along the West Sixteenth Street boundary
of the property. An improved surface along West Sixteenth Street is required to a final width
of 27' (10' of pavement north of centerline) with a ditch and 4' pedestrian walking path per
the City's low impact development standards. The barricade located at the west end of West
Sixteenth Street east of"O" Street shall be removed (at the City's discretion) or an approved
turn a-round installed prior to final subdivision approval. Thirty (30') foot of right-of-way
shall be dedicated along the West Fourteenth Street boundary of the property and improved
an additional 10' width for a total improved width of 30' with a 4' pedestrian walking path
separated by a ditch per the City's low impact development standards. Twenty (20') foot of
paving is required west of the centerline along the subdivision frontage of "N" Street
between West 14th and West 16th Streets with curb, gutter, and sidewalk per the City's Urban
Development standards which includes an asphaltic concrete surface. Street trees shall be
planted along "N" Street per the City's Urban Services and Guidelines Policy 3G. 100 Street
Trees and Landscaping.
3. Fire hydrants shall be placed and spaced as required by the City's Fire Department to a
maximum 1000' of separation distance. Wording shall be placed on the final plat and
recorded with the County Auditor upon filing of the final subdivision indicating that all
residences shall be fitted with residential sprinkler systems prior to occupancy.
4. Electric utility service to the subdivision shall be underground and shall be coordinated with
other utilities for joint use of the trench.
5. Prior to final plat approval, an 8 inch water service shall be extended to the lots as required
by the Public Works and Utilities Department.
6. Stormwater improvement plans shall be submitted for approval per the City's Urban Services
Standards and Guidelines and installed prior to final plat approval. Installation may be
phased with the three phases proposed for final approval as proposed in the January 9, 2004,
application.
7. Sanitary sewer shall be extended to the new lots as required by the Public Works Department
from West Fourteenth Street and West Sixteenth Street.
8. Building setback areas shall be identified on the final plat and address numbers provided by
the City's Building Division shall be placed on the lots.
9. The applicant shall place a statement on the plat and make it known to all subsequent
purchasers of the lots that said lots are in the proximity of the William R. Fairchild
International Airport and that the Port of Port Angeles does not warrant that these lots will
always be outside the lowest noise contour currently established for residential use.

10. No lots shall access directly onto West Fourteenth or "N" Street.
Findings:
A. Preliminary approval is for the 32-unit subdivision submitted by Zenovic and Associates on
January 9, 2004, for Pilot International identified as being in Suburban Lot 78 within the
Townsite of Port Angeles and located at the southwest comer of the intersection of "N"
Street and West Fourteenth Street. The site is approximately 8.66 acres in size and is nearly
square in configuration.
B. The subject property is identified by the Port Angeles Zoning Map as Single Family
Residential (RS-9) which allows a density of up to 9 units per acre. The proposed drawing
indicates that each lot in the proposed subdivision will be at least 9,000 square feet in area.
3. Chapter 16.08 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) sets forth local requirements for
the approval of subdivisions and 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 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.
4. The 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 subdivision is proposed in three phases: Phase I will consist of the development of Lots
1- 6 (along West Sixteenth Street); Phase II will consist of Lots 7 - 19 (east cul-de-sac); and
Phase III will consist of Lots 20-32 (west cul-de -sac). No timing for the phasing is proposed
in the preliminary plat and should be addressed in the final submittal. Section 16.08 PAMC
states that the final plat shall be submitted to the Community Development Department
within five years after City Council approval of the preliminary plat. Said preliminary
approval shall become void unless a final plat is submitted and approved by the City within
the five year period.
6. The Port Angeles Public Works, Light, Parks, and Fire Departments reviewed the proposed
short plat. Their comments and specific conditions have been incorporated in the
Planning Commission Minutes
February 11. 2004
Page 15
Department's recommendation. Water, power, garbage pickup, telecommunications, sewer,
and emergency services are available within acceptable standards to the site or will be
extended through conditions to the preliminary plat.
7. The subject property is identified as Low Density Residential (LDR) on the Port Angeles
Comprehensive Plan land use map.
8. 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. 10).. 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. 1, B.2, B.3, and B.4, Goal C; Transportation Element Goal A, Policy A.3,
A.6, B. 10, B. 11, B. 14, and B. 18; Utilities and Public Services Element Policy C.2; Capital
Facilities Element Goal A, B, Policy B.1, B.3, B.4, B.5, B.6, B.7, C.2, C.3, C.4, and C.5.
9. 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 ofnonthrough
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
10. The site is currently served by West Fourteenth Street, West Sixteenth Street, and "N" Street.
None of the access streets are fully improved. "N" Street is a collector arterial and a
designated school walking ronte but is not a designated bicycle route. Improvements to West
Fourteenth Street will be required such that the final roadway is an improved width of 30'
with a ditch and 4' pedestrian walking path established on the south side per the City's new
suburban low impact development standards. The City's Urban Services and Guidelines
Standards (Section 3G. I00 Street Trees and Landscaping) suggests that street trees should
be planted on arterial streets in the City and in other specified areas. Right-of-way dedication
and improvement for a ditch and pedestrian walking path are required along the site's
southern frontage of 30' for the continued development of West Sixteenth Street.
11. The City's low impact development standards for suburban areas were adopted in 2003 with
the understanding 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.

Roadside ditches developed under low impact development standards should be kept free of
debris by adjacent property owners.
12. 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

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.
13. There are no environmentally sensitive areas on the site. The site slopes west to northeast.
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.
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. School busses travel along both "N" and
Fourteenth Streets. Hamilton School is the closest school to the site.
16. The City's Parks Department responded 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
approximately ½ mile north of the subject site along "N" Street. The nearest public

Nonsignificance for the preliminary subdivision on February 5, 2004, 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 heating 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 January 12, 2004. The property was posted on January 12, 2004, and publication
appeared in the Peninsula Daily News on January 15, 2004. No written comments have been
received to date.
Conclusions:
A. As conditioned, the proposed short plat is consistent with the Port Angeles Comprehensive
Plan and Zoning Code.
B. As conditioned, the proposal is consistent with the Port Angeles Subdivision Ordinance,
Chapter 16.08 PAMC, and Chapter 58.17 RCW of the Washington State Subdivision Act
C. 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.
D. As conditioned, 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.
E. The site has served as a drainage area over the years due to its topography. Cleating and
grading activities will require handling of the existing drainage and future stormwater from
the site as a result of development through the subdivision process.
F. As conditioned, the public interest is served in the platting of this subdivision as articulated

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT STAFF REPORT
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Sue Roberds, Assistant Planner
DATE: February 11, 2004
RE: Preliminary Subdivision - PILOT
APPLICANT: Suzann Pilot
OWNER: Christina Nyhus
LOCATION: Southwest corner of West Fourteenth and "N"Streets
PROPOSAL: Development ora 8.66 acre site located in the RS-9, Residential Single Family
zone into 32 residential building sites
RECOMMENDATION:
The Department recormr~ends that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of
approval of the preliminary 32~unit subdivision to be completed in three phases with 9 conditions, 20
findings, and 6 conclusions identified in Attachment "A" to this report.
PROPERTY CHARACTERISTICS:
The property is described as being Suburban Lot 78 within the Townsite of Port Angeles located
at the southwest coruer of the intersection of"N" Street mad West Fourteenth Streets extending between
West Fourteenth and West Sixteenth Streets. The 8.66 acre site is nearly square in configuration and
is zoned RS-9, Residential Single Family.
Areas surrounding the site are developed in compliance with the underlying zones. A 15-mzit
subdivision (Rycor) has been approved for property abutting the subject site to the west with the
property directly west of that site (Kepler) also having recently been approved for a similar 15-unit
subdivision. Properties to the north are developed as a single family subdivision, property to the south
is developed mainly as apartment uses (approximately 100 units). Southeast of the site is an older
residential trailer park and several individual properties that are zoned RMD, Residdntial Medium
Density but are developed as single family uses. Properties farther east of 'gq" Street are developed
with residential uses under the RS-9, Residential Single Family standards. The Port of Port/U~geles'
J26
.PILOT..Subdigisi~
;FebrUar~ {1, ~004 ~
Fairchild International Airport operation is located farther south of the subject area south of Eighteenth
Street.
The site has served as a drainage way for properties located in the area. Due to the topographic
southwest to northeast slope in the area, the northeast comer of the subject site has experienced
considerable ponding over past years as it is substantially lower than the roadway in this location.
Several years ago a basin was developed at the location to allow connection to the City's stormwater
system located in "N" Street and allow the drainage to continue its flow across the property. A clearing,
grading, and drainage plan must be prepared to address existing drainage concerns and to ensure that
no net increase in drainage runoffrates will occur as a result of development of the site.
The site is served from "N" Street, West Fourteenth, and West Sixteenth Streets. Access can
also be obtained from "0" Street which is located further west of the site. "N" Street is the only arterial
street in the area, and is a school walking route. None of the local access streets are fully improved
adjacent to the site.
DEPARTMENTAL REVIEW:
The Fire Department had no objections to the preliminary subdivision. The subdivision is
outside of the Fke Department's 4 minute emergency response time area. All single family
residences in new subdivisions outside of the four mim~te response area shall be equipped with
a residential sprinkler system. Such subdivisions shall be allowed to have reduced requirements
for cul-de-sac size and f'n'e hydrant spacing. Three new fire hydrants will be needed to serve the
subdivision: one on West Sixteenth Street at the west end of the project; and one at the end of
each new cul-de-sac, preferably at Lots 12 or 14, and 25 or 27. Each side of the interior cul-de-
sacs must be posted for no on-street parking if developed to the City's Iow impact development
standards. The barricade at the west end of West Sixteenth Street must either be removed for
through traffic or an approved turnaround in place prior to final subdivision approval at the
City's discretion.
The City Light Department Electrical plans and costs will be determined upon approval
of submitted plan. Approximate location is 24' from platted center line. The City will
be responsible for the following items:
· Providing and installing conduit, vaults, sectionahzing cabinet, cable and related
equipment in the utility right of way.
· Providing and installing padmount transformers and pedestals,
· Providing and installing street lights.
The owner / contractor will be responsible for the following:
· All costs of labor & materials provided by the City.
· Survey / staking property comers & and cul-de-sac bulb radius, bring area to Final grade
and provide trenching (24" x 47" depth x 900' +/- length), meeting WAC Chapter 296-
155N Excavation, Trenching, and Shoring requirements.
· All backfill and compaction, including street crossing on 14t~ Street.
· Coordination with other utihties for joint use of electrical trench (telephone, cable, etc.).

located east of"N" Street and Fourth Street, north of the subject site.
The Port Angeles School District was sent a copy of the subdivision proposal and commented
that the proposal will have no negative effect on local area schools as the school population at present
is below capacity.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
Property owners within 300 feet of the proposed subdivision were mailed notice of the proposal
on January 12, 2004. The property was posted on January 12, 2004, and publication appeared in the
Peninsula Daily News on January 15, 2004. No written comments have been received to date.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The site is located in the City's Northwest planning area which covers the western edge of town
lying beyond Tumwater Creek and north of the airport. This area is comprised largely of older homes.
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 bluffs. It also has the largest segment of
undeveloped residential land within the current City limits.
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 following goals and policies
appear to be the most relevant to the proposal:
Designation

X. CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT
Goal A: To provide and maintain safe and financially feasible urban services and capital facilities at
or above stated levels of service to all City residents and the general public.
Goal B: To provide urban streets and utilities at minimum levels of service for all city residents and
the general public.
Policy B.I: All arterial streets shall function at an average daily level of service olD or better.
Policy B.3: The City shall not approve any development that is not served with water service
at or greater than the following level of service standards at the time of development: Single

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 B.7: The City should not approve any development that cannot be served with
telecommunications service at or greater than the following level of service standards at the
tinge of development: telephone, residential: 1 service per unit / cable television, residential: 1
service per unit.
Goal C: To provide urban services at minimum levels of service for all city residents and the general
public.
Policy C.I: The Port Angeles School District should develop a capital facilities plan, which
the City will consider for inclusion in the Comprehensive Plan. The capital facilities plan
should contain at least a six-year plan for public financing of such facilities as may be necessary
to provide adequate public schools at or greater than the following level of service standards
in order to meet anticipated increases in student enrollment, which may be anticipated based
on the School District's projected enrollment figures and residential growth as provided for in
the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan:
High School: 125 square feet of permanent, appropriate educational space
per student,
PILOT Subdivision
February 11, 2004
Page 7
Middle School: 104 square feet of permanent, appropriate educational space
per student, and
Elementary School: 100 square feet of permanent, appropriate educational space
per student.
If capacity is inadequate to house students at the established level of service standards (LOS)
and adequate school funding is not available, then the demand for new facilities will be reduced
(e.g. through year round use of schools or by matching grade band enrollment lo facility
capacities) or the level of service standards will be reduced to keep both schools and housing
development affordable to the majority of Port Angeles School District residents. Imposition
of Growth Management Act impact fees on or denial of new development will not be used as
a measure to prevent further degradation of school services, unless the reduced level of service
standards are deemed unacceptable to Port Angeles School District No. 121, Clallam County,
and the City of Port Angeles.
Policy C.2: The City should not approve any development that will not be served with
adequate transit service as determined in the comprehensive service and facilities plan for
transportation within six years from the time of development.
Policy C.3: The City should not approve any development that will not be served at or greater
than a city-w/de level of service standard of 9 acres of parks per 1,000 population within six
years from the time of development.
Policy C.4: The City should not approve any development that w/ll 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 residentiaI sprinkler system installation.
Policy C.5: The City should not approve any development that will not be served with solid
waste collection service at or less than a city-wide level of service standard of 400 pick up
accounts per 1000 population within six years from the time of development.
Policy C.7: The City should consider the cumulative effect of development on the City's need
for adequate public service buildings.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
A Detem~ination of Non-Significance was issued for the proposal on February 3, 2004, which
satisfies the City's responsibility under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA).
ZONING:
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 ResidentiaI Single Family (RS-9). The purpose al~d intent
of tl-fis zone is as follows:
132
PILOT Subdivision
February 11, 2004
Page 8
"This 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 also 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"
The mirrimum lot area is 9,000 square feet. All lots shall comply with the minimum area and
dimensional requirements as follows:
Front: 25 feet
Rear: 25 feet, except 10 feet for detached accessory buildings in the
rear one-third of the lot.
Interior Side: 8 feet, except 3 feet for detached accessory buildings in the rear
Maximum Height: 30 feet
Lot Coverage: 30%
SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE (No. 1631 as amended):
The City's Subdivision Ordinance (No. 1631), codified as 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 Council or 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 ColT~nission unless streets shown therein are connected by surfaced road to an existing
improved public right-of-way adequate to serve the existing and new lots.
Where the Comprehensive Plan or the City's official street plan indicates the necessity of a new right-
of-way of a required width or portion thereof for street purposes, whether within a new plat or new
subdivision, or along the boundaries of a new plat, new subdivision or new lot, such required right-of-way
or portion thereof shall be dedicated to the City of Port Angeles by the filing of a plat.
The Planning Commission may require plats to provide areas for parks, playgrounds, open spaces,
recreation facilities, schools, school grounds, safe walking conditions on school routes, transit stops, and
drainage ways.
Each proposed subdivision and the ultimate use of the land therein shall be in the interests of public
health, safety and welfare, and subdividers shall be prepared to present evidence to this effect when requested
by the Commission.
133
PILOT Subdivision
February 11,2004
Page 9
Restrictive covenants not contrary to existing regulations regarding the use of land, governing and
binding all future owners of lots or tracts, may be shown on any plat.
No Final plat of land within the force and effect of existing Zoning Regulations shall be approved
unless it is conforming with such Regulations.
Whenever there is a discrepancy between minimum standards or dimensions noted herein and those
contained in Zoning Regulations, Building Codes, or other official Regulations, the highest standard shall
apply.
B. GENERAL PRINCIPLES, POLICIES. The Co~ranission shall ensure that appropriate
provision is made for: (I) the harmonious development of neighborhoods by requiring coordination of streets
within subdivisions with existing or planned streets, or with other elements of the Comprehensive Plan; (2)
adequate open spaces for recreation, schools, light and air; (3) distribution of population and traffic which will
create conditions favorable to public health, safety and convenience.
C. STREETS.
1. The arrangement, character, extent, width, grade and location of all streets shall
conform with the Comprehensive Plan, the Capital Facilities Plan, the Urban Serv/ces Ordinance, and the Urban
Services Standards and Guidelines, and shall be considered in their relation to existing and planned roads, to
topographic conditions, to public convenience and safety, and in their appropriate relation to the proposed uses
of the land to be served by such roads.
2. Where such is not shown on the Comprehensive Plan, the arrangement of streets in a
subdivision shall either provide for the continuation or appropriate projection of existing streets in the
surrounding area; or shall conform to a street plan for the neighborhood, appro-ved by the City, to meet a
particular situation where topographic or other conditions make continuance or conformance to existing streets
impracticable. This shall also apply to cluster subdivisions.
3. If a street plan for an area has been made by the City, the street layout of a proposed
subdivision in such an area shall be in general conformance to the plan.
4. When a portion of a subdivider's tract is to be subdivided, a street plan for the entire
tract shall be submitted to indicate how the street pattern of the plat submitted will coordinate with the entire
tract when fully platted and with streets in the surrounding area.
5. Where a tract is subdivided into lots or tracts larger in area than twice the minimum lot
size, the City may require an arrangement of lots and streets such as to permit a later re-subdivision in
conformity with the street and lot requirements specified in these Regulations.
6. Where a proposed subdivision abuts or contains an existing or proposed arterial street
of is adjacent to an existing or planned business, con~-nercial or industrial district, the City may require
treatment as may be necessary (1) for the adequate protection of residential properties; and (2) to afford
separation of through and local traffic.
7. Where a subdivision borders or contains a railroad or limited access highway right-of-
way, the City may require a road approximately parallel to and on each side of such right-of-way at a distance
suitable for appropriate use of the intervening land. Such distances shall also be determined with due regard
for the requirements of approach grades and future grade separations.
8. Streets shall be laid out so as to intersect as nearly as possible at right angles. Acute
angle intersection shall be avoided.
9. There shall be no reserve strips controlling access to roads, except where the control
of such strips is definitely placed with the City m~der conditions approved by the Commission.
10. Sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students
who only walk to and from school shall be provided pursuant to RCW 58.17.060 and 5 8.17.110.
E. LOTS.
1. The lot area, width, depth, shape and orientation, and the minimum building setback
lines shall be appropriate for the location of the subdivision, for the type of development and land use
contemplated, and for the type of street systems planned for the area, and shall conform with the requirements
of the Zoning Ordinance.
PILOT Subdivision
February 1 I, 2004
Page 10
2. Excessive depth in relation to width shall be avoided. No lot shall have a depth greater
than tl'n'ee times its width.
3. Comer lots for residential use shall have extra width to permit appropriate building
setback from and orientation to both streets.
4. To ensure public health, convenience and safety, the subdividing of land shall provide,
by means of a public street, each lot with direct access to an existing public street that is improved to City street
standards.
5. Double frontage and reverse frontage lots shall be avoided, except where essential to
provide separation of residential development from arterial streets or to overcome specific disadvantages of
topography and orientation. A planting screen easement across which there shall be no right of access shall be
provided along the line of lots abutting such a principal arterial street or disadvantageous use.
6. Side lot lines shall be substantially at right angles or radial to street lines and front lot
lines.
7. No lot or lots for residential purposes shall be divided or sold into additional lots or
building sites, without compliance with Title 16 PAMC.
F. RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS.
1. Street Trees. 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.
S. SIGNAGE One (1) free standing sign no larger than twenty-four (24) square feet in area
shall be permitted for identification of the subdivision.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENTAL ANALYSIS:
The proposed preliminary subdivision sketch includes two cul de sacs entering the site from
West Fourteenth Street as access to Lots 7 - 32. Lots 1 - 6 are proposed with access from West
Sixteenth Street. All proposed lots within the subdivision are a minimum of 9,000 square feet in area.
The subdivision is proposed to be developed in three phases: Phase 1 will consist of the development
of Lots 1 - 6 (along West Sixteenth Street); Phase II will consist of Lots 7 - 19 (east cul-de-sac); and
Phase fix will consist of Lots 20-32 (west cul-de -sac). The cul-de-sacs are as yet unnamed.
The RS-9 zone purpose 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 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.
West Fourteenth Street is not an arterial street nor an adopted bicycle route but will require
improvement to match the existing roadway improvement to an improved width of 30' (10' addition
paving must be added to the existing 20' width). The north one-half of West Fourteenth Street was
previously improved during development of the adjacent subdivision. "N" Street is an arterial and a
school walking route and will require widening with curb, gutter, and sidewalk improvement to match
and continue the existing development north of the area. The City's Urban Services and Standards
135
PILOT Subdivision
February 11, 2004
Page 11
Guidelines states that street trees should be planted on arterial streets and provides direction as to the
types of trees and spacing. West Sixteenth Street is not an arterial nor an adopted bicycle route and will
require improvement to match the existing roadway improvement to an improved width of 30' (10'
additional paving must be added to the existing 20' width). The south one-half of West Sixteenth Street
was previously improved during development of an adjacent apam~nent use. Clallam Transit and school
busses travel along West Fourteenth Street m~d "N" Street.
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 establislument ora subdivision. It shall deterrnine
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 schoolgrounds, and shall
consider all other relevant facts including sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walldng
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 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
park purposes which has not as yet been developed as a park is located approximately 1/4 mile to the
north on "N" Street south of Milwaukee Drive. The City's largest park, Lincoln Park, is located along
with public ballfields and the Claltam County Fairgrounds, approximately one-half mile+ east of the
site. However, the Lincoln Park playground is more than a mile away along l~eavily traveled arterial
streets. Hamilton Elementary School and its playgrounds are approximately one mile away along
arterial streets with fast moving traffic. With conditions regarding improvement to local and interior
access streets, utilities, and a play area, auld a requirement for the submittal and approval of ch'ainage
plans, the public interest and safety is served.

8. Building setback areas shall be identified on the final plat and address numbers provided by
the City's Building Division shall be placed on the lots.
9. The applicant shall place a statement on the plat and make it known to all subsequent
purchasers of the lots that said lots are in the proximity of the William R. Fairchild
h~temational Airport and that the Port of Port Angeles does not warrant that these lots will
always be outside the lowest noise contour currently established for residential use.
10. A useful neighborhood play area shall be created which may also be used as an open space
area such as a big toy area or picnic area. The designated area is not intended to be
dedicated to the public m~d should primarily serve residents of the subdivision.
Findings.:
1. Preli~zfinary approval is for the 32-unit subdivision submitted by Zenovic and Associates on
January 9, 2004, for Pilot International identified as being in Suburban Lot 78 within the
Townsite of Port Angeles and located at the southwest corner of the intersection of"N"
Street and West Fourteenth Street. The site is approximately 8.66 acres in size and is nearly
square in configuration.
2. The subject property is identified by the Port Angeles Zoning Map as Single Family
Residential (RS-9) which allows a density of up to 9 units per acre. The proposed drawing
indicates that each lot in the proposed subdivision will be at least 9,000 square feet in area.
3. Chapter 16.08 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) sets forth local requirements
for the approval of subdivisions and 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
recormr~endation 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.
4. The Revised Code of Wasl~ington 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 ora subdivision and
detenrfine if appropriate provisions are made for, 'out 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.
138

5. The subdivision is proposed in tl~ee phases: Phase I will consist of the development of Lots
1- 6 (along West Sixteenth Street); Phase II will consist of Lots 7 - 19 (east cul-de-sac); and
Phase llI will consist of Lots 20-32 (west cul-de -sac). No timing for the phasing is
proposed in the preliminary plat and should be addressed in the final submittal. Section
16.08 PAMC states that the final plat shall be submitted to the Community Development
Department within five years after City Council approval of the preliminary plat. Said
preliminary approval shall become void unless a final plat is submitted and approved by the
City within the five year period.
6. The Port Angeles Public Works, Light, Parks, and Fire Departments reviewed the proposed
short plat. Their comments and specific conditions have been incorporated in the
Department's recommendation. Water, power, garbage pickup, telecommunications, sewer,
and emergency services are available within acceptable standards to the site or will be
extended through conditions to the preliminary plat.
7. The subject property is identified as Low Density Residential (LDR) on the Port Angeles
Comprehensive Plan land use map.
8. 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. 10).. 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. 1, B.2, B.3, and B.4, Goal C; Transportation Element Goal A, Policy A.3,
A.6, B. 10, B. 11, B. 14, and B. 18; Utilities and Public Services Element Policy C.2; Capital
Facilities Element Goal A, B, Policy B.1, B.3, B.4, B.5, B.6, B.7, C.2, C.3, C.4, and C.5.
9. 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
environrnent 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
10. The site is currently served by West Fourteenth Street, West Sixteenth Street, and "N"
Street. None of the access streets are fully improved. "N" Street is a collector arterial and a
designated school walking route but is not a designated bicycle route. Improvements to West
Fourteenth Street will be required such that the final roadway is an improved width of 30'
139

with a ditch and 4' pedestrian walking path established on the south side per the City's new
suburban low impact development standards. The City's Urban Services and Guidelines
Standards (Section 3G. 100 Street Trees and Landscaping) suggests that street trees should
be planted on arterial streets in the City and in other specified areas. Right-of-way
dedication and improvement for a ditch and pedestrian walking path are required along the
site's southern frontage of 30' for the continued development of West Sixteenth Street.
11. The City's low impact development standards for suburban areas were adopted in 2003
with the understanding 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 parldng
on-site. Roadside ditches developed under low impact development standards should be
kept free of debris by adjacent property owners.
12. 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
mad tree species. The design standards identified in Section 16.08.060 F PAMC 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.
13. There are no environmentally sensitive areas on the site. The site slopes west to northeast.
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. Tl~e 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.
14. Building pemaits are required for all structures within the subdivision. All local building
and Fire Codes shall be complied with du~ag 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. School busses travel along both "N" and
Fourteenth Streets. Hamilton School is the closest school to the site.

16. The City's Parks Department responded 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. )m undeveloped wooded property donated to the City for a park use is located
approximately ½ mile north of the subject site along "N" Street. The nearest public
playgrormd area is located approximately one-half mile + north (Crown Park) or east
(Lincoln Park).
17. The site will be serviced 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 (SEPA) Official issued a Determination of
Nonsignificance for the preliminary subdivision on February 2, 2004, 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 heating 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 January 12, 2004. The property was posted on January 12, 2004, and
publication appeared in the Peninsula Daily News on January 15, 2004. No written
comments have been received to date.
Conclusions:
As conditioned, the proposed short plat is consistent with the Port Angeles Comprehensive
Plan and Zoning Code.
B. As conditioned, the proposal is consistent with the Port Angeles Subdivision Ordinance,
Chapter 16.08 PAMC, and Chapter 58.17 RCW of the Washington State Subdivision Act
C. 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 fi.om school.

D. As conditioned, sigmage 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.
E. The site has served as a drainage area over the years due to its topography. Clearing and
grading activities will require handling of the existing drainage and future stormwater from
the site as a result of development through the subdivision process.
F. 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.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE: March 16, 2004
To: CrrY COUNCIL
FROM: Brad Collins, Community Development Director ~
SUI~-ECT: Revised Parking Ordinance (PAMC Chapter 14.40)
Summary: For a variety of reasons the City has been reviewing its Parking Ordinance (PAMC
Chapter 14.40) for several years. The proposed revisions would change the minimum number of
required parking spaces for new land uses and provide alternate methods to the applicant for
determining the minimum number of required parking spaces for their particular business.
Recommendation: Staffrecommends that the City Council continue the public hearing to the
April 20, 2004, meeting.
Background/Analysis:
Difficulties with the application of the City's current Parking Ordinance to individual
businesses led to this latest review and revision of the parking requirements and subsequently the
methods for calculating the number of required parking spaces. The primary changes involve either
the actual number of parking spaces specified as required by the City or new methods which may
be selected by applicants, subject to City staff approval, for determining how many parking spaces
will be required for their proposed land uses. It is the new discretionary reliance on the applicant
and/or the staffin place of a certain specified number of parking spaces based on the particular land
use and/or its floor area that is being viewed as either a good thing for allowing flexibility in meeting
the parking requirements or a bad thing for being too discretionary without setting any real minimum
number of required parking spaces.
Initially, a typical problem with the parking requirements involved skepticism from
applicants and from City officials as well on whether or not some of the minimums accurately
reflected the parking needs of each business. This could vary from whether a pizza-to-go business
required a minimum often spaces regardless of the size of the business to whether a major hospital
is adequately parked with one space per bed. Concerns also include the perception that the parking
rules are different in the Downtown Parking and Business Improvement Area (PBIA) than for land
uses in the other parts of the City. Certainty/uniformity conflicted with flexibility/practicality,
especially for new uses in existing structures with limited vacant site area for redevelopment.
Consequently, new numbers for required parking for each particular land use and/or its floor
area were recommended by the Planning Commission to better reflect the parking needs of
businesses today. And, new methods were developed by the Community & Economic Development
Committee to better accommodate businesses that can differentiate their parking needs from other
similar businesses. With new stormwater management responsibilities established by the City, the
desire to minimize impervious parking areas has become both a policy issue and a financial concern
as well.

14.40.010 Purpose. The purpose of this Chapter is to assure adequate provisions for
public access are made in the development of new land use and in the change of use of an existing
building. Off-street parking is only one of the provisions that needs to be considered to avoid
si~ificant adverse impacts on surrounding private properties and public infi~s~c~e. This parking
ordinance encourages transportation demand management to achieve low impact development as an
alternative to off-street minimum parking requirements for each commercial, industrial, and public
and institutional land use. The City. recognizes that each business can have a variety_ of
-1-
153
transportation strategies, facilities, and services instead of satisfying access solely by single occupant
vehicles (SOV). Many businesses are unique and, therefore, can best determine the minimum
parking requirements needed to serve their own needs. In residential zones, off-street parking is
required for each dwelling unit to allow reduction in nonarterial street width standards. This parking
ordinance encourages reduction in the impacts of increasing impervious surfaces on the costs for
each development and on the environment from stormwater drainage. Reducing pollution from
runoff and emissions serve communi _ty interests and should be balanced against requirements for
more street and parking lot improvements. The City expects new developments to find less costly
ways to meet transportation needs and does not want to require unneeded impervious surfaces.
14.40.01~,020 Definitions.
A. The following terms shall have the designated meanings for the purposes of this
Chapter, unless the context indicates otherwise:
1. "Standard-car parking space" means one hundred fifty-three square feet

to a public street. No part of any street fight-of-way shall be considered part of any standard-car
parking space.
2. "Loading space" means a space located adjacent to a building, and large
enough in area so that any truck or other vehicle loading or unloading at such building will not
project into a street right-of-way.
3. "Floor area" means the net leas_cable or habitable floor area or space in
a dwelling or building, excluding bathrooms, toilet compartments, halls, closets, or corridors 44
inches in width or less, and equipment and machinery rooms not used directly in the manufacture,
production, storage or sale of goods or services maintenance and cleaning supply rooms of 50 square
feet or less.
4. "Parking lot activity" means a nonpermanent activity occurring in a parking
lot, using spaces otherwise allocated for parking for purposes other than parking by clientele of the
primary use of the property.
5. "Shall" means the statement is mandatory.and ministerial, and the action
so stated is required to be done without discretion by decision-makers.
6. "Should" means the statement ought to be done, but the action so stated
is not required to be done by decision-makers who may use discretion where exceptions are
warranted.
7. "Transportation demand management assessment" means an analysis of
public access to a specific site for land use activities permitted under the Port Angeles Municipal
Code and a City approved plan (including multi-modal services, public infrastructure improvements,
and parking) that is sufficient to mitigate significant adverse impacts, on surrounding private
properties and public transportation facilities, consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and
Urban Services Standards and Guidelines. The assessment may be done by the applicant or by an
expert transportation professional when the applicant prefers or when determined to be necessary_
by the Community Development Director.

1 §4
14.40.020030 Parking Space Requirements - Generally. For all land uses there shall
be established and maintained permanent off-street parking spaces, either on the zoning lot of the
use, or, if the affected property owners and the Ptmming Community_ Development Director agree
through the execution of an appropriate agreement and easement in a form acceptable to the City
Attorney and if appropriate identification signage is provided, within one one thousand two hundred
feet of the property boundaries (excluding public streets and alleys) of the zoning lot. The required
number of parking spaces shall be determined as follows:
A. The number of required spaces shall be determined b-y·
~ A A,, ^,,, ,,_ ..... '- ' ~ ~^ "°~ by a parking plan based on the number of employees and customers
on-site during the peak hours of operation taking into consideration duration of parking use (i.e.,
turnover rate) and any reduction in single occupant vehicles due to a transportation demand
management assessment approved by the Communi _ty Development Director.
B. If applicable, Sections 14.40.110 through 14.40.140 shall then be used to
determine whether the number of spaces required by subsection A of this Section is modified.
C._~. If subsection A of this Section is not used to determined the number of required
parking spaces, one of the following alternate methods of determining the required parking for a
particular development shall be used:
1_. Determine the number of required parking spaces per Table A;
2_ Prepare a transportation demand management assessment that meets the
approval of the Community Development Director; or
3.~. Obtain Planning Commission approval of a parking variance per Section
14.40.140.

requirements are met:
A. The use and structure or building, prior to its enlargement or increase in floor
area, is in conformance with the parking space requirements of this Chapter;
B. No previous modifications of parking space requirements authorized by this
Section have been utilized;
C. The number of parking spaces required by the floor area of the addition, together
with those required by the floor area of the existing building, will not exceed one hundred and fifteen

14.40.150130 Improvement of Parking Spaces.
A. Any parking spaces provided to comply with the terms of this Chapter, other than
for single-family detached residences, shall be improved in accordance with the following
requirements:
1. They shall meet the requirements of the clearing, grading, filling and
drainage regulations set forth in Chapter 15.28 PAMC.
2. They shall be graded and paved with a hard-surface pavement of portland
cement concrete, asphaltic concrete with a structurally adequate base, or other hard-surface pavement
acceptable to the Director of Public Works and Utilities. All parking spaces shall be clearly and
permanently striped in conformance with Public Works parking lot design standards. Wheel stops
shall be installed where necessary to prevent encroachment upon public rights-of-way. The Director
of Public Works and Utilities may allow for an exception to hard-surface pavement for developments
in the Industrial Heavy_ Zone, provided that adverse impacts to stormwater drainage, surrounding
properties, arid public infrastructure are mi.tigated to the ¢xtem the Director of Public Works and
Utilities deems reasonably necessary_ and appropriate.
3. They shall be accessible, at all times, from street, alley or driveway
intended to serve such off-street parking.
4. Improvements of parking spaces shall meet the Americans with
Disabilities Act standards.
B. The City may grant permission for temporary occupancy of a building or
structure even though the parking spaces required by subsection A of this Section have not been fully
completed, provided that an improvement bond acceptable as to form and amount by the City
Engineer and the City Attorney is posted in the amount of the estimated value of the construction
of the parking facilities. Before granting such temporary occupancy, the Director of Public Works
and Utilities must determine that construction of the parking facilities prior to occupancy of the
building would not represent sound construction practice, due to weather conditions, availability of
materials and/or difficult site conditions, and the acceptance of such bond is therefore appropriate.
Improvement bonds may be accepted for a period not to exceed twelve months. During the period
before final completion of the improvements, the parking facilities provided shall at least be graded
and graveled and be maintained in a good condition.
C. Uses requiring six or fewer spaces may occupy a building or zoning lot for up
to twelve months before compliance with subsection A2 of this Section, provided the parking
facilities shall at least be graded and graveled and be maintained in a good condition. At the end of
the twelve-month period, the parking facilities must be in compliance with subsection A2 of this
Section, or a bond must have been provided and accepted in accordance with subsection B of this
Section.

SUl~mCT: WRIA 18 Watershed Management Plan
I Summary: A final draft Watershed Management Plan (provided under separate cover) has been
completed for approval by the participating jurisdictions per the State Watershed Management Act
(Bill 2514). The City may veto any portion of the Watershed Plan but will be obligated by the Plan'sl
policies that have not been vetoed by the various participating parties and that are subsequently
adopted by the Clallam County Commissioners. All of the City's previous concerns have been
addressed satisfactorily. The recognition of the City of Port Angeles as a regional water supplier for
the western WRIA 18 area is one of the major outcomes of the Watershed Plan.
Recommendation: Orville Campbell and Brad Collins, the City's representatives on WRIA 18
Planning Unit and Initiating Governments, recommend that the City Council dose the public
hearing and continue Council deliberations to the April 6, 2004, meeting.
Background / Analysis:
For the past four years the City, County, Tribes, Water Purveyors, and Interested Citizens
have been meeting as the Water Resources Inventory Area 18 Planning Unit (the Elwha-Morse
Management Team for the western WRIA 18 and the Dungeness River Management Team for the
eastern WRIA 18. As the largest city in Dungeness-Elwha River Basins area, the City voluntarily
participated in the watershed planning process created by the State Legislature under the Watershed
Management Act (Bill 2514). The City's cooperation was necessary to the planning process to be
funded by the State of Washington. As one of five such initiating governments, which also included
Clallam County, Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe, Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, and the Agnew Irrigation
.District, the City identified concerns primarily regarding its water supply system and worked with
other interested parties, including many citizen groups, to address concerns not only about supply
(water quantity) but also about environmental protection (water quality and habitat) and the
establishment of instream water rights junior to the City's and other senior water rights (instream
flow). The final list of the City's veto concerns is attached for reference.
Mr. Campbell and Mr. Collins will be available at the meeting for questions.

STAFF REPORTS
Associate Planner Scott Johns presented materials to the Commissioners illustrating work
that has been done to date regarding updates to the Comprehensive Plan. A Citizen Advisory
Committee (CAC) has been created and several documents have been generated and reviewed by
the CAC. The CAC and staff have developed a public participation program that is being called
'2020 Vision for Port Angeles'. The program consists ora series of public forums beginning on
February 9, 2004, at the Veto Burton, to be followed by neighborhood meetings being held at various
locations and times throughout the City. These efforts will be advertised on the radio, in the
newspaper, and with fliers in utility bills. A banner will be placed above Front Street beginning on
Monday February 9, 2004. A list of the CAC members, meetings schedule, and list of major
planning issues were handed out to the Commissioners. The actions required by the State of
Washington under the Growth Management Act were discussed.
Community Development Director Brad Collins presented a draft revision of the Parking
Ordinance as it had come from the City Council Community and Economic Development Committee
(CED). A public hearing is scheduled for the February 17, 2004, City Council meeting, and the issue
will likely be continued to March 2, 2004. He pointed out that not all proposed changes were
included in the hand out and he did not make a copy of the entire ordinance. The parking ratios were
the main focus. After the Planning Commission recommended modification to the standard parking
requirements specifically to eliminate parking minimums, the CED Committee wanted to go in a
177
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes

different direction by allowing applicants to choose one of 3 or 4 methods to calculate what their
parking requirements would be. If an applicant simply meets the standard requirements, they can
move ahead with no further public process. Alternate choices would require additional review with
approval from either the Planning Commission or the Department of Community Development. A
Parking Variance would be still available. Several other methods for reducing parking would be
available as well. The importance is an applicant can choose a method of arriving at a parking
requirement that is best suited to their needs or which meets their concerns. Existing requirements
still largely exist with some modification. At one point there was the argument that the numbers
would be just guidelines but not a requirement anymore. The CED's amended proposal included
3 or 4 alternatives for how the number of required parking spaces is arrived at or how parking
requirements can be reduced. Changes also being considered are extended distances for off-site
parking by increasing the permitted distance to 1,200 feet. Twelve hundred (1,200) feet was
proposed because a standard City block is 500 feet, and, by going to 1,200 feet, parking slightly over
two and one-half blocks away could still satisfy the requirement for on-site parking.
One of the issues with the CED is to make all parking more of a level playing field more
similar to methods used in the Downtown where parking lots are jointly used within a walking
distance of several blocks which encourages less impervious area for individual commercial uses.
Parking methods within the Downtown PBIA were discussed in that some relief is provided for new
uses in existing structures as long as the floor area isn't expanded.
Commissioner Hewins asked if, during the life and changes in business uses within a
structure, parking is ever reviewed again? Director Collins replied that, when a new use locates in
an existing structure an occupancy permit would be required which would trigger a review of the
parking requirements.
Chair Nutter asked when a building permit would be needed? Director Collins replied that
a building permit would be required for tenant improvements and would also trigger a review of
parking requirements.
Chair Nutter expressed concern that a change from a residential use in a commercial zone
where no physical exterior change is made could occur without any review for parking and therefore
create large impacts to a neighborhood.
Parking and Business Improvement Areas (PBIA) are allowed throughout the City.
Although this has always been the case, in the amended ordinance it is made more clear by
eliminating the reference to the "Downtown" PBIA indicating that the City Council can approve
such cooperative uses elsewhere. This is not really a change just clarification.
Commissioner Hewins asked if Table "A" is a parking requirement or an option? Director
Collins stated that it is an option that has certainty.
Commissioner Schramm stated that he appreciated the appeal process being available but
wondered why a neighbor would have the responsibility o f defending his own parking area from over
flow impacts from a neighboring business.
Commissioner Hewins asked if it then becomes a civil matter when a property owner builds
to the maximum but doesn't provide adequate parking such that the development negatively impacts
neighboring uses? Director Collins said that would be correct.
Director Collins went on to state that the PBIA assessment was recommended to be increased
from $600 to $3000 per space which is based on approximately a one fifth share ora new surface
178
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
January 28, 2004
Page 3
parking space cost with the assumption that in a PBIA those parking spaces would mm over several
times and be used by several businesses during a given time frame. The Downtown Association is
concerned that $600 will not be adequate in terms of providing additional space and so it was a very
inexpensive way to get out of a parking requirement. The Council took that under advisement and
proposed an "in lieu of" raise to $3000 per space.
Commissioner Rasmussen pointed out that this is a way to guarantee that nobody is going
to put their business in the Downtown. Commissioner Hewins stated that such is not necessarily
true. His point was that $3000 a space is still cheaper than buying land Downtown, building a
parking lot, or cutting down a building to provide a building with a parking lot.
Commissioner Schramm stated his feeling is that the parking revision is being put to us as
either you go along with this or the City Council will do away with parking completely. He felt that
was not necessarily tree. New members now on the Council may bring about a change in the policy
regarding the Parking Ordinance. He didn't think the intent is to allow businesses to encroach on
others making them defend something they shouldn't have to defend which is not fair nor is it in the
public's interest. He did not accept this at all and, while some parts of the amended proposal are
good, he felt the idea that you look at each individual business individually is not a good idea. He
then expressed skepticism that giving any one individual that much discretion in the decision making
process is not a good idea as it allows too much flexibility and potentially the appearance of unfair
treatment. Impartiality is important in dealing fairly with all.
Director Collins questioned why he felt there may be favoritism? Commissioner Hewins
stated that favoritism would be proposed in dollars. A person who has the money to do a study and
have a firm come up with a study on their particular facility may get away with 8 spots for a business
while another person who has the same kind of business but doesn't have the same resources or
doesn't understand the process uses the standard table and may be required to provide 12 spaces.
He felt it is really short sighted of the Council to allow this potential. The standard table is designed
through analysis of standard, commonly used transportation and parking studies in the 70's which
was never reviewed until it got to be a problem. Making major changes without first going back
and further analyzing what the real issues are, is not a good idea. Van Goes Pizza is a good example.
They fill up the street between 4:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. and are parking in the neighboring parking
lot of the Grandview Store. The Grandview Grocery owner is always out there telling Van Goes'
patrons not to park in his lot. The standard requirement for 10 parking spaces for Van Goes Pizza
wasn't really that far off. Maybe they could have gotten away with 8 parking spaces, but they are
definitely using all of the parking (10 spaces) that was required of them. The Planning Commission
did not require them to do something that it turned out they didn't need.
Director Collins pointed out that the preferred approach isn't Table "A". The preferred
approach is to calculate the number of employees and the number of customers at your peak hour
of operation and provide all of those parking spaces. If that ends up to be 20 for Van Goes Pizza,
then that would be the number that they would have to provide. If they used Table "A", they may
come up with a different answer which could possibly be less than 20.
Commissioner Rasmussen stated that is contradictory to what he said before, that what was
said before was that "if you meet the number of spaces in the table you're done." Director Collins
replied that the preferred approach is that you actually calculate your number of employees and your
customers all arriving by single occupant vehicles during your peak hour to come up with the
required number of parking spaces.
179
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes

Commissioner Hewins pointed out that during the Parking Variance hearing, the Van Goes
Pizza owner said that there would be no more than 3 parking spaces needed because they turn
customers over quickly, don't have seating, and employees would walk or ride bicycles as they
would be friends or family members. Yet they do have inside seating.
Commissioner Rasmussen doubted that someone is going to come in and do the calculations
being proposed of a study calculating the number of employees and customers and decide they need
more parking spaces than what is prescribed in the table if they can get away with what is in the
table.
Director Collins noted that an alternative parking analysis has to be reviewed by staff and
determined to be reasonable and is based on the information that is provided. If Van Goes Pizza said
they would not provide inside seating, then presumably they are going to be held to that standard.
Chair Nutter again stated that her feeling is that the City's enforcement is very lax.
Director Collins disagreed and noted that enforcement is largely enforced by written
complaint that is followed to some resolution.
Chair Nutter stated that the public will not make a complaint if they are not aware of the
conditions. She stated that she has heard many complaints from the public who are unwilling to put
them in writing.
Commissioner Schramm pointed out that once this becomes policy, if it is through a Parking
Assessment Plan, then that puts the burden on staff to either accept it or not accept it and to enforce
it. While staff may have a clear vision of what the situation is, the fact of the matter is that a year
or two from now staff could be different and have a different interpretation of the numbers and there
are no guidelines to follow and they won't have the history the current staff has. It then becomes too
discretionary and any time there is that kind of discretion you don't get equal treatment for all parties
involved. One person who comes in with their assessment might not get treated the same way as the
next person who comes in with their assessment - there's too much discretion.
Director Collins replied that if he understands what was being said, there should only be one
method which is a standard table and if you can't meet the table then you have to go through the
parking variance process?
Commissioner Schramm agreed that the table provides standards and guidelines and, if you
can't meet the guidelines, you have to go through a process of review where a board of people make
a decision based on specific analysis as to whether there are grounds for a variance.
Director Collins pointed out that is the way the ordinance currently reads. He reiterated that
there will be a public heating on the proposed amendments on February 17, 2004, and encouraged
Planning Commission representation.
Commissioner Schramm stated that the Planning Commission knows from past history that
the Director (Collins) thinks parking will resolve itself, and if people can't park they will take a bus
or will find another form of transportation.
Director Collins responded that that is not the position the staff has. Other staff members
have the exact 180 degrees opposite opinion of that.
Commissioner Schramm explained that there is a lot of variation in our thought processes,
even on Table "A." Under medical services, medical and dental offices requires a minimum of 6
parking spaces per doctor while hospitals require 1 parking space per bed. What about all the
doctors and support staff that work in the hospital? The person that is in bed may not have his car
there, but he is going to have visitors, and he is going to have a whole lot of people taking care of
him and there is absolutely no parking provision for them at all but a medical office has to have 6
180
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
January 28, 2004
Page 5
parking spaces per doctor.
Director Collins explained that those are the numbers reviewed and recommended by the
Planning Commission in its initial review of the Parking Ordinance in 2002 which was sent to the
City Council but not as yet acted upon. A debate about the requirements for hospitals and doctors'
offices took place and it was decided that while there are probably other options, at the present time
a detailed analysis would not be done.
Commissioner Schramm replied that what the Planning Commission was told from staffafler
they had that long discussion is that staffdidn't feel that any strict requirements should be put on the
hospital because they didn't want the hospital to move out of the City. The Planning Commission
recommendation was that there should be mandated parking spaces for the employees and
allowances for the people who had to be treated at the hospital.
Commissioner Norton asked about the appeal process. How does a person next door know
there is an appeal process, what do they do, and what process does it go through?
Director Collins explained that the only time neighbors are notified is if a parking variance
is proposed then there is a public process before the Planning Commission, or, if off-site parking is
proposed, then neighbors within 300 feet are going to be told because there is a chance somebody
might not want to park 1200 feet away and they might choose to park on the neighbor's property
which is within 300 feet. Those are the two instances the City Council want neighbors to be notified.
Otherwise, parking is reviewed administratively following review of the Parking Ordinance.
Neighboring property owners would have to know their rights under the law and appeal an egregious
decision or the interpretation. An appeal may be submitted within 14 days of a decision.
Commissioner Hewins noted that if a project takes a year to build, by the time it's finished
and a negative impact is noted an appeal period would be over.
Director Collins replied that if it tums out that we've approved a parking plan for 3 spaces
and 10 spaces are actually needed then their parking approval (variance) would no longer be valid.
Chair Nutter asked if the City would then shut down a business, and again, expressed
skepticism that the City would want to take that action,
Commissioner Schramm agreed that after a building permit and certificate of occupancy are
issued the City isn't going to then indicate that a mistake has been made, no matter who caused the
wrong calculation, and there isn't enough land to provide adequate parking so that a use must cease
or move. That isn't going to happen.
Director Collins added that the City would have to revoke approval of the business owner's
parking plan.
Chair Nutter said that this discussion will go to the City Council in their review of the
Planning Commission's minutes. It is important that the Council understand the Commission's
concems. The CED Committee worked very hard on looking at this issue but when you are only
looking at parking you are usurping part of the Planning Commission's overall objectives, and we
see how it all fits together. Parking impacts how we do our planning, in this case for transportation.
The CED group is only seeing parking and maybe not the ramifications of all of the other things that
happen within a Comprehensive Plan. This does affect that and if the City Council wants to have
a committee do what the Planning Commission does, why bother having a Planning Commission?
Let them appoint or create committees to do each little part of the Comprehensive Plan? Why do
we need to be here?
Director Collins replied that the role of the Planning Commission is to advise the City
Council. The CED Committee has taken the Planning Commission's recommendations under
181
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
January 28, 2004
Page 6
advisement, applied their own review, and have come up with some additional changes that they
think are what they would like to see happen. This was after several of the City Council members
simply wanted to eliminate the Parking Ordinance. The Commission has expressed strong concern
about enforcement. Why not simply ask the City Council to incorporate a more realistic enforcement
requirement and tell them you're concerns.
Commissioner Schramm posed the question that a business is building a new office with a
personalized plan approved where the business owner states that there will be a maximum of 10
employees on site at any given time with three or four customers, so realistically they only need a
maximum of 13 parking spaces. The building footprint takes up the entire parcel of land (excluding
setbacks) and 13 parking spaces. In fact, they really have 48 employees and support staff with
weekly staff meetings and maybe increase the number of employees on duty at any given time due
to business demands. It tums out 13 is no longer a realistic number. So two years after this building
is built and been in business, neighbors start calling saying "their" people are parking in front of my
house and in my driveway and we can't get in or out and they're slowing traffic on the street. Is the
City going to say the parking plan isn't good anymore and we're going to shut them down?
Director Collins answered that what would happen is that the City would have to determine
that the submitted plan doesn't work anymore and the responsibility would be either reduce the
number of employees or increase available parking spaces. The business owner would be given
notice that they have responsibility to fix the parking problem. There isn't much in the ordinance
that describes the enforcement process.
Chair Nutter again expressed skepticism that the City would take action.
Director Collins responded that the way the system works right now is that a business owner
may apply for a Parking Variance through the Planning Commission where circumstances are
analyzed and a reduction in parking may be allowed under specific circumstances. The suggested
case would be similar but the issue would not go to the Planning Commission, instead, a plan
proposed by a business owner would need to be supported and approved by staff. It's not likely that
we're going to be the parking police and check daily on businesses and their parking issues. What's
more likely to happen is that somebody's going to complain and investigation will require us to
verify the situation or inform a business owner that they have exceeded their parking plan and they
will need to either revise the plan and provide more parking or reduce the number of employees until
the submitted plan is followed.
Commissioner Schramm stated that is exactly his point. What happens is that some citizen
has to now be put into a position where they have to write out a complaint and sign their name to it
in order to point out the problem that shouldn't have been created. Why should they be put in that
position?
Director Collins replied that the reason they should be put in that position is because the
standard table doesn't work. One size doesn't fit all. Not every Veterinary Office operates the same
way and therefore needs exactly the same number of parking spaces, based on the number of doctors,
or the number of square footage of their places or any of that. You have kennels so you have people
coming and going to put dogs in a kennel and the other vet doesn't have kennels, and so he doesn't
need as many parking spaces as you do.
Commissioner Schramm stated that the difference is that at present every Vet Clinic in town
had to follow the same roles for parking when they opened. Every one. There was no favoritism.
182
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
January 28, 2004
Page 7
Director Collins said he didn't believe there is favoritism here. What we're saying is that
somebody has to come up with a realistic plan for how many parking spaces are required for the
businesses. When they do that then they have committed to a plan.
Commissioner Rasmussen commented that one thing he would like to get on the record is
the example that Chuck brought up. This is a situation where the City Council is out of step with
businesses. The reason that a business is going to move out of a building to a new location is
because parking around the existing building is not adequate. Business people realize that they need
to have adequate parking and that they need to have some guidelines as to what adequate parking is.
It appears the City's going the other direction.
Commissioner Hewins stated that he would recommend that the Council change a couple of
things: One, that not just land use changes or building permits be required to trigger review of the
parking issues but any use changes and that this be tied to a Certificate of Occupancy. He wanted to
make sure there is some tie to a change of use because a building may house several offices with no
visible changes because it is already set up as an office building. It may be that each person uses an
individual office but they may decide to move out in the future to a larger facility or maybe a smaller
facility and another business may go in that starts to put in cubicles and has four employees per
office dramatically increasing the number of people working there.
Director Collins noted that this wouldn't increase the parking requirement.
Commissioner Hewins agreed, and added that another thing is that a minimum amount of
parking should be required based on the size of the building in a district. There are restrictions on
what types of businesses are allowed in specific zones and, based on a standard parking table, it may
be that all of the permitted businesses require a minimum of one parking space per 400 square feet
of floor area. When staff makes a decision based on a personalized plan, because it's not going to
be reviewed in an open public hearing with open access and public notification that a variance may
be going to be made by the City, the public should have the right to be notified so that a timely
appeal can be made and the variance must be restricted to some specific formula that is based on
building size because the building size determines what the potential occupancies can be. You can't
put 45 people in a 100 square foot building and have them not impact an area. So a minimum
number of parking spaces should be required.
Director Collins pointed out that the CED Committee reviewed that situation and concluded
that there are too many old buildings in town where the uses have changed over time and it's too
difficult to change the parking requirement every time you change the use of the building. They were
also of the mind set that they don't want to allow changes of use in the Downtown and then penalize
the Uptown businesses so that they can't take advantage of the same parking roles that happen in the
Downtown.
Commissioner Hewins said there is nothing that says you can't have a parking association
at the comer of 8th and Lincoln Street like the in the Downtown especially if the City is willing to
buy a parcel and put in a parking lot and charge $3000 dollars per space for parking. All the business
people in that area will buy into it. These comments need to go to the City Council - they need to
hear these issues.
Director Collins assured the Planning Commission that they will go to the City Council and
the reason staff brought it up here is because the Planning Commission did not necessarily agree with
all of the proposed changes. Because this is a legislative matter, the Commission's comments are
183
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
January 28, 2004
Page 8
only recommendations. The City Council will make the final decision and staff will enforce that
legislative record whatever it is.
Commissioner Hewins stated that the majority of the City Council has changed and they may
have a substantially different take on parking than before.
Chair Nutter agreed that this should go back to City Council.
Commissioner Schramm felt the driving force behind all of this is still present and wondered
if the support behind the driving force is still there. There are people who may have different
opinions on the Council now. Many of the changes may be real estate driven and that could have
changed some. We are saying this is what we feel and we are getting our points out and we want
this to go to the Council so they understand we think this is a bad idea.
Director Collins stated, based on the issues expressed on the lack of enforcement, he would
encourage the Commission to raise their issues as they see fit. Chair Nutter added that she didn't
think it was just the crux of the issue, it's one of the big issues in this whole thing. She wouldn't
approve this and characterized it as a bad change.
Director Collins asked if the way the Planning Commission recommended it to begin with
is what you would actually like to see?
Commissioner Hewins then added that he would like to make a comment regarding the
earlier recommendations to the City Council. He recalled it was more or less a situation where the
Commission was asked to make a recommendation that would dramatically reduce the level of heavy
handedness by the City in the Parking Ordinance or the City would be left without a parking
ordinance. It wasn't a matter of what we really would recommend. We didn't agree to all of that,
we had some changes. There was a lot of discussion but at the time there was pressure to forward
a recommendation or the Council would proceed and we would have no parking regulations. That's
the feeling I had at the time and when I saw an article in the paper recently regarding the issue, I
wondered why this didn't ever come back to us as another public meeting situation where we could
discuss it and have some input from the public to make a new recommendation to the City Council
based on this new proposal? I read there was a public hearing scheduled regarding major changes
in the Parking Ordinance at the City Council only - not through the Planning Commission. So he
was glad to see this on the agenda as a discussion item where these issues could be aired. What has
been decided is that the Commission has concerns about enforcement, the new proposed changes
which bring up a fairness issue, changes from one business to another business, and the appeal
process. How will the public be notified when a method other than that used by everyone else for
the past years is being contemplated? The ability to approve an alternative parking situation
administratively on a case by case basis, where previously this would have been done through a
public forum where people are notified, is a concern.
Director Collins responded that originally the issue of parking came up because the Planning
Commission struggled with parking issues for a long time and so there was a decision made to look
at the Parking Ordinance and try to fix it. City staff and the City Manager in particular wanted to
make the Parking Ordinance more business friendly, that it wasn't something that became the main
reason that a new business couldn't be located in town. Inevitably, businesses would fall short one
or two parking spaces and somehow that inflexibility seemed to be creating great havoc in getting
economic development in town. So, based on those two points of view, staff started to work with
the Planning Commission to redraft the Parking Ordinance. He thought the Planning Commission
recommended those ideas and didn't get the impression they felt coerced and/or uncomfortable, but
thought there were compromises made.
184
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
January 28, 2004
Page 9
Commissioner Hewins stated that one of the changes was that we go back and review the
standard parking table to be a more current analysis of parking requirements and needs. There were
a lot of uses in the table that were not being addressed. There was no previous discussion proposed
at the Planning Commission level regarding alternatives or major modifications to the manner in
which parking would be approved as is now being considered.
Director Collins agreed and added that there wasn't a "let's go back and review the parking
analysis concept". The issue was to deal with the numbers and wrestle with what was coming out
of the economic development issues brought forward from the administration. The Planning
Commission recommendation went to the City Council and the City Council at that time became
frustrated struggling with the idea of guidelines versus requirements. At one point in the early
review of the Planning Commission's recommendations, there was a City Council motion to simply
repeal the Parking Ordinance. Staff indicated to the City Council that repealing the Ordinance
without having something to replace it with would be short sighted, and we needed to go back and
provide something else if this was what is desired. Several members of the City Council actually
thought they had repealed the Parking Ordinance. The matter was then sent back to staff to come
up with some alternatives. Staff did try to come up with alternatives and that may be where we went
more to the guidelines versus requirements. Guidelines were redrafted rather than requirements and
taken to the Council' s Economic Development Committee. That's where an alternate proposal came
from. Several reworks of the Planning Commission's recommendation resulted in a new version.
This process has taken place over the course of the past year and one-half.
Commissioner Hewins recalled that after the City Council considered repeal of the
ordinance, the following month came a request for the Planning Commission to reconsider its earlier
recommendation to be returned to the City Council and it was then that we felt we were working
under the guise that if we didn't make these recommendations or didn't come up with something the
Council would repeal the ordinance. The Commission then made another recommendation that was
more along these lines of (I felt) coercion.
Director Collins replied that staff will go back and look at what the original recommendation
of the Planning Commission was regarding required parking numbers and put that into the form of
a table as well. Then we'll have two tables for them to look at. He reiterated that a public hearing
is scheduled for Council's February 17, 2004, meeting.
Commissioner Hewins stated that he would prefer staff to find use analysis done by
professional organizations with regards to the real uses of parking and to formulate a table with
realistic, commonly used business uses as compared to some of the uses on that existing table.
Director Collins replied that Associate Planner Johns did that type of analysis and it really
didn't help much. Then we did another analysis where Assistant Planner Roberds looked at what
other cities parking requirements are and put them on a matrix. The numbers were all over the board
and somewhere in the middle was determined as being reasonable. You can't go to the ITT manual
any more and find out what the parking engineers think is the right number.
Commissioner Schramm stated what we do have are classic examples of where we have
parking problems now and have historically had parking problems. He deals with parking problems
on a daily basis in his business. There are several highly visible places in the City where cars are
parked on city sidewalks every day because certain businesses do not have enough parking. In other
locations rental cars and business vehicles are parked in such a manner that intersections are

hazardous and vehicles completelyblock or obscure intersections with no enforcement. It's obvious
to every city employee and every police officer who see these situations but there is no enforcement.
These situations are safety issues and nothing is done about it. What we do have is a long history
of parking problems in Port Angeles and the current amended proposal does not deal with it. This
does not make our community a safer place. It does not make businesses a better place for clients
or customers. This does not resolve anything, it only makes parking worse. We're supposed to be
making things better. We're supposed to be making things safer. This doesn't do any of those
things.
Director Collins replied that the only thing that is clear is that there is no agreement on how
to solve this problem, or what the problem is. You've made your recommendation and the minutes
will reflect that you are not happy with the amended proposal. The City Council will take that under
advisement and likely make a decision.
Commissioner Rasmussen stated that staff has made a good point and that this is a hard
problem. Commissioner Hewins has summarized the main areas of concern very well and we're not
going to get any further tonight.
Chair Nutter stated that the Planning Commission believes the current proposal is not a step
forward and that this is a big problem that does not help the current situation. She asked that quite
a bit of detail of the discussion be put in the minutes.
Director Collins answered that the minutes will reflect the discussion. Relying on the
minutes to deliver your message to the City Council may not be the most effective way. A
spokesperson from the Planning Commission may better represent the Planning Commission at the
City Council meeting. Chair Nutter was designated to represent the Planning Commission at the
public heating.
Director Collins reiterated that staff has tried to work with both factions on this. The staff is
very divided on the parking issue but is trying to work with everybody to come up with something
that is workable that will work for businesses and neighborhoods.
There being no more staff reports, Director Collins noted that interviews for the vacant
Planning Commission seat would be held at 4:15 p.m. on February 3, 2004, prior to the regular City
Council meeting. There are four candidates for the position.

PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION - MORRISON - 3900 Block Old Mill Road:
Proposal for a 16-unit subdivision in the RS-9, Residential Single Family zone.
Associate Planner Scott Johns reviewed staff's report recommending approval of the
preliminary subdivision. Director Collins asked that the Fire Marshall comment on the proposed
length of the cul-de-sac.
Fire Marshall Ken Dubuc stated that although the cul-de-sac is longer than what is generally
built in the City, it was decided that if the interior street is extended to the proposed length with a
wide area approximately mid width to allow for a turn around, public safety issues should not be an
issue.
Chair Nutter opened the public heating.
Steve Zenovic, 519 South Peabody, #22, Port Angeles, WA represented the applicant and was
in general agreement with the staff report, and responded to a question that the road side ditch will
be 8' edge to edge with a 4:1 slope to grade creating a gentle slope. He asked that the sensitive area
tract be limited to that area within 50' of the neighbor's (west) pond. The property owner wishes to
create three 14,000 square foot lots, and he suggested that the future limitation of duplexes within
the subdivision should not be a condition of preliminary approval but should be reviewed at the time
a property owner wishes to consider such a development. Mr. Zenovic used an overhead projector
to describe how stormwater flows across the site to catch basins which will connect to a detention
system directing the discharge to an existing City stormwater system in Old Mill Road.
In response to a question, Mr. Zenovic stated that the proposed stormwater system will result
in a much more controlled and lesser amount of stormwater leaving the site than what has occurred
prior to development.
Craig Ritchie, 212 East Fifth Street, Port Angeles, WA represented Mr. and Mrs. Frizzell and
others in opposition to the proposed Morrison subdivision. Mr. Ritcbie did not feel that the design
of the subdivision roadway meets the standards for providing adequate access roads and is dangerous
to the public, and that stormwater has not been addressed in the area. He stated that the site contains
a wetland and noted that water captured within the site would be directed into the City's already
inadequate stormwater system including additional runoff as a result of the proposed development.
An objection was raised to the applicant's design of the subdivision which contains three 14,000
square foot lots that could potentially allow for a future proposal by conditional use permit. A taped
record of the October 21, 2003, City Council meeting at which the City's Director of Community
Development indicated that another duplex would probably not be permitted in the area of the
subdivision was submitted. Mr. Ritchie did not agree with the manner in which development of the
site has been approached in that a conditional use permit for a duplex was applied for on the property
prior to the subdivision application. He noted that the State Subdivision Act requires subdivisions
to comply with set standards and he did not agree that the proposal meets standards for adequate
roads.
In response to Commissioner Schramm, Mr. Ritchie responded that although the City has
approved subdivisions within the City with the same set of standards for roads that is being proposed
in this situation, he does not believe the established standards are safe. He stated that the proposed
interior roadway is nan'ow in width, does not allow for on-street parking, and is excessive in length
compared to other jurisdictions. He asked that the proposal be denied based mainly on poor roadway
design.

Director Collins suggested that if roof drainage is a concern, a condition could be added to
the preliminary approval requiring that all roof drains be tightlined to the stormwater system in
proposed Juniper Lane. He suggested that the preliminary drawing could be adjusted slightly to
reduce the areas of the proposed lots to slightly less than 14,000 square feet without reducing the
number of lots which would restrict the subdivision to a single family subdivision only without the
possibility of duplex lots. The cul-de-sac length does not pose a public safety problem. Fire
Department staff worked with the applicant to design a mid point turn around such that public safety
would not be a concern. The City's low impact development standards do not allow on-street
parking. While the applicant could chose to design the subdivision to a higher standard which
would allow on-street parking, but it is not a requirement.
In response to Commissioner Rasmussen, Director Collins stated that the City's low impact
development standards are designed to create less impervious street surface which should allow
better control ofrunof£into the stormwater system. The new standards will not eliminate stormwater
runoff but should not allow for a significant increase of runoff to be caused by new development
without some control.
Steve Zenovic responded that there are three goals in low impact development standards: to
reduce the amount of impervious surfaces which will reduce the amount of runoff; use roadside
ditching that can act as bioswales to trap sediments; and to slow down the runoff. Water coming
from the site at present currently enters the stormwater system on Dogwood Place and along Old
Mill Road. Post development runoff rate will not exceed pre development rate. The stormwater
system is designed to trap runoffand slowly release water into the stormwater system - no additional
pressure will be placed on the collection systems. The proposed subdivision is planned to be one-
third of the density allowed in the RS-9 zone at three units per acre. The Fire Department has no
concerns with the cul-de-sac length which was approved by the Fire Marshall. The City does not
recognize a wetland on the site. The subdivision as proposed meets all the City's standards for the
approval of a subdivision in the RS-9 zone.
(At this point, being after 7 p.m., Chair Nutter noted that no new audience members had
arrived after 6 p.m., but for the record, asked if anyone would like any previous speakers to restate
their concerns. No one asked that information be repeated.)
Commissioner Nutter was concerned that due to the traffic speed on Old Mill Road, access
to and from proposed Juniper Lane, being a 20-foot roadway, could be dangerous.
Due to the public hearing being commenced prior to the posted 7:00 p.m. hearing time, Chair
Nutter again asked if anyone arrived beyond 7:00 p.m. who would like to have any of the earlier
public testimony given between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. repeated. Seeing no one, the public hearing
was closed.
Discussion as to lot sizes being reduced so as to limit potential duplex lots and tight lining
roof drains to mitigate the flow of water from structures was discussed. It was determined that the
developer should have some choice as to lot sizes and that a condition could be added to address
additional runoff.
Commissioner Nutter was concerned that the low impact development standards do not
allow for a wide enough road entryway from a higher speed roadway, in this case, from Old Mill
Road. She also expressed concern with the length of the interior road and runoff from the site.
In response to Commissioner Schramm, Steve Zenovic responded that an additional drainage
system along the north side of the site could additionally mitigate runoff from the site without
overburdening the stormwater system.

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.
3. 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

9. The City's Comprehensive Plan (Land Use Element Policy B.3) states that development
should be designed to further the grid system pattern. Preliminary approval will be based
upon the dedication of right-of-way to ensure compliance with the policy.
10. The subject property is identified by the Port Angeles Zoning Map as Single Family
Residential (RS-9) which allows a density of up to 9 units per acre. The proposed
drawing indicates that each lot in the proposed subdivision will be at least 9,000 square
feet in size.
11. The site is currently served by Old Mill Road, which is a collector arterial and is listed as
a school walking route.
12. There are no environmentally sensitive areas on the site. However, a jurisdictional non-
regulated category IV wetland exists to the southwest of the site. The wetland provides
valuable functions that should be protected.
13. The site slopes downward from south to north. The site is not considered a frequently
flooded area as it is not listed on the Federal Emergency Management Act (FEMA) maps
which denote those areas that are in 100-year flood areas.
14. Transit service is available at the intersection of Old Mill Road and Ahlvers Street located
approximately 1,150 feet to the north of the subject site.
15. Building permits are required for all structures on the completed sites. All local building
and Fire Codes shall be complied with during construction including residential sprinkler
systems.
16. The Port Angeles School District has been notified of the development to allow them to
plan for needed public school facilities and routes.
17. The City's Parks Department has responded 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.
18. All utilities including potable water, sanitary waste, and refuse collection are available in
the area.
19. The site will be serviced by the City's Police, Fire, and Public Works Departments.
20. The City's State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Official issued a Determination of
Nonsignificance (DNS #1054) on February 4, 2004, therefore satisfying the City's
responsibility under the Act.
21. A conditional use permit #03-10 was issued on August 27, 2003 to allow a duplex unit on
Lot 1.

22. The City's low impact development standards in suburban areas adopted earlier in 2003
were adopted with the understanding that subdivisions developed under the 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. Roadside ditches developed under low impact development
standards should be kept free of debris by adjacent property owners.
Commissioner Hewins then withdrew his motion and moved to approve the
preliminary subdivision citing the following conditions, findings, and conclusion:
Conditions:
1. The interior street identified as Juniper Lane shall be dedicated and constructed per the
City's urban service standards, which includes a 20' asphalt surface with ditches and a
minimum 4' pedestrian walking path separated fi'om the roadway by a vegetated ditch
prior to approval of the final plat. NO PARKING signs shall be posted on Juniper lane
and the cul-de-sac bulb.
2. Sidewalks shall be constructed along the west side of Old Mill Road for the entire

and Chapter 16.08 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code and is therefore in the public
interest.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Schramm and passed 6 -1. Commissioner
Nutter stated that her negative vote was due to traffic safety issues on Old Mill Road and water
runoff concerns.
The Commission took a recess at 8:05 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 8:I0 p.m.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - KEY - 330 Park Avenue: Proposal for a duplex in the
RS-7, Residential Single Family zone. (Item to be withdrawn by the applicant.)
Although the applicant had verbally withdrawn this application, discussion with neighbors
indicated a change in plans such that formal withdrawal prior to the meeting was not submitted.
Director Collins asked that the item be continued to March 10, 2004, to allow the applicant to work
through some of the issues with the neighborhood. Chair Nutter opened the public heating.
Commissioner Schramm moved to continue the public hearing to March 10, 2004 (6 p.m.).
Commissioner Hewins seconded the motion which passed unanimously.
PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION- PILOT - West 14th and "N" Street: Proposal for a 30-
unit subdivision in the RS-9, Residential Single Family zone.
Commissioner Rasmussen indicated that he lives in the immediate area but does not have any
financial interest or business interest in the proposal. Chair Nutter asked if there was any objection
from the audience to Commissioner Rasmussen remaining for the hearing.
Jim Hendrickson, 4519 South Coyote Lane, asked if that meant that Mr. Rasmussen should not
be able to listen to the proceeding? Chair Nutter explained that if anyone objected or felt that Mr.
Rasmussen could not be fair in his assessment due to his residency in the area, he would step down.
There being no objection from anyone present, Commissioner Rasmussen remained and Chair Nutter
opened the public hearing.
Director Collins reviewed the staff report recommending approval of the preliminary subdivision

and answered questions from the Commission regarding transit service in the area.
Bill Jensen, 426 Rhodes Road, Port Angeles, WA was concerned with public safety and quality
of life in the neighborhood being significantly at issue with development of the property.
Stormwater concerns in the area are long standing. He was not in favor of development of the site.
Chair Nutter explained to Mr. Jensen that the item he is concerned about is actually Item #2 on the
Agenda not the item under discussion.
Steve Zenovic, 519 South Peabody Street, Port Angeles, WA questioned whether it is necessary
(Condition #1) to redesign the streets to be curvilinear for such a short cul-de-sac. The streets end
in cul-de-sacs which are somewhat curvilinear in design. He noted that there is only 17' of
pavement on the improved portion of West Sixteenth Street and he asked that clarification be on the
record that the requirement is to place 10' north of the centerline rather than a full width of 30'. He
asked who will be responsible for upkeep of the proposed play area as the property owner does not
wish to place covenants on the subdivision to cover maintenance for such a use. He suggested that
perhaps the developer could assist in the upgrade of another play area in the neighborhood.
Director Collins responded that the nearest property owned by the City for recreational purposes
is located north on "N" Street at West Tenth and "N", but the area is not developed and may be
surplussed by the City rather than developed as a park.
Mr. Zenovic responded to Commissioners Schramm and Hewins regarding general stormwater
runoff across the Site, the installation of the area water system, and underground stormwater
detention plans. Site grading will allow adequate containment of the historic stormwater drainage
problems in the area which have previously been contained on the site due to the topographic drop
of the property from "N" Street south.
Commissioner Rasmussen discussed problems with traffic on'2q" Street south of West Sixteenth
Street. He asked if some measure could be taken to warn traffic traveling south on "N" Street that
the roadway narrows significantly at the crest of the hill south of West Sixteenth Street. Mr. Zenovic
stated that signage could be placed to warn those traveling along the roadway of approaching width
changes.
Michael Sofie, 2213 West Fourteenth Street, Port Angeles, WA noted that as a 25-year resident
of the area, he has seen standing water on the subject property as a usual winter condition which has
been somewhat reduced by a ditch connecting to the City's stormwater system in the past few years,
but has not totally managed the water. He stated a concern with the width of"N" Street as the area
is fairly congested. The proposed streets (cul-de-sacs) will funnel out directly across from his
driveway and he would not like to see access from abutting lots onto West Fourteenth Street. He is
not in favor of parking on the south side of the street and would like some assurance that homes built
in the subdivision would be similar to others that exist in the area to ensure that property values
remain constant. The full development of West Fourteenth Street (north side) allows for residents
to have on-street parking but with the low impact development standards allowed in the proposed
subdivision, no on-street parking within the development will be allowed, so he suspects parking will
spill over to the north side of Fourteenth Street in front of existing neighbors' homes or along "N"
Street.
Director Collins responded to questions raised, that West Sixteenth Street was originally
designated as a residential access street intended to be 34' wide from curb to curb. Mr Zenovic is
correct that the City would require an additional 10' of paving plus a ditch and walkway along the
north side which would provide a total width of 27'. Such development would comply with the
City's low impact development standards but would not allow for parking on the north side of West
Sixteenth Street. West Fourteenth Street was originally built as an arterial street with 40' expected
Planning Commission Minutes
February 11, 2004
Page 12
so the existing development required 20' of paving north of centerline, while there is only 17' on
West Sixteenth (south side). With an additional 10' along the south side of West Fourteenth Street,
which is the requirement for completion of the street to low impact development standards, a 30'
width would be reached but that would not be adequate to allow parking along West Fourteenth
Street. In building to low impact development standards, no parking would be allowed along the
north side of West Sixteenth Street or the south side of West Fourteenth Street.
Steve Zenovic noted that, in response to concerns regarding stormwater drainage concerns in the
area, the stormwater containment and discharge system engineered £or the proposal will
accommodate historic drainage problems in the entire area. All of the problems addressed by the
neighbors will be resolved in the proposed work without which, nothing will be resolved. Design
of lots on the cul-de-sacs allows access from the cul-de-sacs, not from West Fourteenth Street.
Gail Wenden, 2205 West Fourteenth Street, PorL4ngeles, WA agreed with the previous speaker
and, noted the potential of increased traffic hazards along "N" and West Fourteenth Streets given
the proposed narrow road widths. She agreed that no parking should be allowed from the
subdivision along the north side ogWest Fourteenth Street which is very congested at present. She
felt the density is too great for the area and that no on-street parking is a problem.
MichaelSofie commented that it would be better for everyone if street development is consistent
everywhere and that i£development along West Fourteenth Street is not required to match existing
street development, even more congestion than what already occurs will result. Traffic in the area
requires a wider street and on-street parking.
While the Commission agreed that a neighborhood park would be nice, without the City's
agreement to maintain such a play area, it was decided that maintenance of such a play area would
be an issue.
Director Collins noted that staff would be in agreement to a rewording of proposed Condition
#1 to state that the subdivision design should contain curvilinear streets as long as it doesn't reduce
the number of lots or results in nonconforming lots.
Following lengthy discussion on points made by speakers, Commissioner Schramm moved to
recommend approval of the preliminary subdivision citing the following amended conditions,
findings, and conclusions:
Conditions:
1. Interior cul-de-sacs shall be designed to be curvilinear if possible, named, dedicated, and
constructed per the City's urban service standards, which includes a 20' asphalt surface with
ditches and a minimum 4' pedestrian walking path separated from the roadway by the ditch
prior to approval of the final plat. Signage shall be placed on interior cul-de-sacs indicating
that on-street parking is prohibited along both sides of the streets.
2. Thirty (30') foot of right-of-way shall be dedicated along the West Sixteenth Street boundary
of the property. An improved surface along West Sixteenth Street is required to a final width
of 27' (10' of pavement north o£ centerline) with a ditch and 4' pedestrian walking path per
the City's low impact development standards. The barricade located at the west end of West
Sixteenth Street east of"O" Street shall be removed (at the City's discretion) or an approved
turn a-round installed prior to final subdivision approval. Thirty (30') foot of right-of-way
shall be dedicated along the West Fourteenth Street boundary of the property and improved
an additional 10' width for a total improved width of 30' with a 4' pedestrian walking path
Planning Commission Minutes
February 11, 2004
Page 13
separated by a ditch per the City's low impact development standards. Twenty (20') foot of
paving is required west of the centerline along the subdivision frontage of "N" Street
between West 14th and West 16th Streets with curb, gutter, and sidewalk per the City's Urban
Development standards which includes an asphaltic concrete surface. Street trees shall be
planted along "N" Street per the City's Urban Services and Guidelines Policy 3G. 100 Street
Trees and Landscaping.
3. Fire hydrants shall be placed and spaced as required by the City's Fire Department to a
maximum 1000' of separation distance. Wording shall be placed on the final plat and
recorded with the County Auditor upon filing of the final subdivision indicating that all
residences shall be fitted with residential sprinkler systems prior to occupancy.
4. Electric utility service to the subdivision shall be underground and shall be coordinated with
other utilities for joint use of the trench.
5. Prior to final plat approval, an 8 inch water service shall be extended to the lots as required
by the Public Works and Utilities Department.
6. Stormwater improvement plans shall be submitted for approval per the City's Urban Services
Standards and Guidelines and installed prior to final plat approval. Installation may be
phased with the three phases proposed for final approval as proposed in the January 9, 2004,
application.
7. Sanitary sewer shall be extended to the new lots as required by the Public Works Department
from West Fourteenth Street and West Sixteenth Street.
8. Building setback areas shall be identified on the final plat and address numbers provided by
the City's Building Division shall be placed on the lots.
9. The applicant shall place a statement on the plat and make it known to all subsequent
purchasers of the lots that said lots are in the proximity of the William R. Fairchild
International Airport and that the Port of Port Angeles does not wan'ant that these lots will
always be outside the lowest noise contour currently established for residential use.
10. No lots shall access directly onto West Fourteenth or "N" Street.
Findings:
A. Preliminary approval is for the 32-unit subdivision submitted by Zenovic and Associates on
January 9, 2004, for Pilot International identified as being in Suburban Lot 78 within the
Townsite of Port Angeles and located at the southwest comer of the intersection of "N"
Street and West Fourteenth Street. The site is approximately 8.66 acres in size and is nearly
square in configuration.
B. The subject property is identified by the Port Angeles Zoning Map as Single Family
Residential (RS-9) which allows a density of up to 9 units per acre. The proposed drawing
Planning Commission Minutes
February 11, 2004
Page 14
indicates that each lot in the proposed subdivision will be at least 9,000 square feet in area.
3. Chapter 16.08 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) sets forth local requirements for
the approval of subdivisions and 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 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.
4. The 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 subdivision is proposed in three phases: Phase I will consist of the development of Lots
1- 6 (along West Sixteenth Street); Phase II will consist of Lots 7 - 19 (east cul-de-sac); and
Phase m will consist of Lots 20-32 (west cul-de -sac). No timing for the phasing is proposed
in the preliminary plat and should be addressed in the final submittal. Section 16.08 PAMC
states that the final plat shall be submitted to the Community Development Department
within five years after City Council approval of the preliminary plat. Said preliminary
approval shall become void unless a final plat is submitted and approved by the City within
the five year period.
6. The Port Angeles Public Works, Light, Parks, and Fire Departments reviewed the proposed
short plat. Their comments and specific conditions have been incorporated in the
Department's recommendation. Water, power, garbage pickup, telecommunications, sewer,
and emergency services are available within acceptable standards to the site or will be
extended through conditions to the preliminary plat.
7. The subject property is identified as I.ow Density Residential (LDR) on the Port Angeles
Comprehensive Plan land use map.
8. 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. 10).. The proposal has been reviewed with respect to the
Comprehensive Plan and the following Comprehensive Plan policies are relevant to the
200

proposal: Growth Management Element Goal A; Land Use Element Goal A, Policy A.2,
Goal B, Policy B. 1, B.2, B.3, and B.4, Goal C; Transportation Element Goal A, Policy A.3,
A.6, B. 10, B. 11, B. 14, and B. 18; Utilities and Public Services Element Policy C.2; Capital
Facilities Element Goal A, B, Policy B.1, B.3, B.4, B.5, B.6, B.7, C.2, C.3, C.4, and C.5.
9. 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 ofnonthrough
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
10. The site is currently served by West Fourteenth Street, West Sixteenth Street, and "N" Street.
None of the access streets are fully improved. "N" Street is a collector arterial and a
designated school walking route but is not a designated bicycle route. Improvements to West
Fourteenth Street will be required such that the final roadway is an improved width of 30'
with a ditch and 4' pedestrian walking path established on the south side per the City's new
suburban low impact development standards. The City's Urban Services and Guidelines
Standards (Section 3G. 100 Street Trees and Landscaping) suggests that street trees should
be planted on arterial streets in the City and in other specified areas. Right-of-way dedication
and improvement for a ditch and pedestrian walking path are required along the site's
southern frontage of 30' for the continued development of West Sixteenth Street.
11. The City's low impact development standards for suburban areas were adopted in 2003 with
the understanding 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.
Roadside ditches developed under low impact development standards should be kept free of
debris by adjacent property owners.
12. 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 16.08.060 F PAMC 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
201

Page 16
right-of-way, their proposed locations and species to be used are to be submitted for review
and approval by the City.
13. There are no environmentally sensitive areas on the site. The site slopes west to northeast.
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 ora 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.
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. School busses travel along both "N" and
Fourteenth Streets. Hamilton School is the closest school to the site.
16. The City's Parks Department responded 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
approximately V2 mile north of the subject site along "N" Street. The nearest public
playground area is located approximately one-half mile + north (Crown Park) or east
(Lincoln Park).
17. The site will be serviced 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 (SEPA) Official issued a Determination of
Nonsignificance for the preliminary subdivision on February 5, 2004, 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
202
Planning Commission Minutes
February 11, 2004
Page 17
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 January 12, 2004. The pmperty was posted on January 12, 2004, and publication
appeared in the Peninsula Daily News on January 15, 2004. No written comments have been
received to date.
Conclusions:
A. As conditioned, the proposed short plat is consistent with the Port Angeles Comprehensive
Plan and Zoning Code.
B. As conditioned, the proposal is consistent with the Port Angeles Subdivision Ordinance,
Chapter 16.08 PAMC, and Chapter 58.17 RCW of the Washington State Subdivision Act
C. 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.
D. As conditioned, 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.
E. The site has served as a drainage area over the years due to its topography. Clearing and
grading activities will require handling of the existing drainage and future stormwater from
the site as a result of development through the subdivision process.
F. 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.
Commissioner Hewins seconded the motion which passed 5-0.
PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION - DEKAY - East end of Scriber Road at Albert
Street: Proposal for a 20-unit subdivision in the RS-9, Residential Single Family
zone.
Director Collins reviewed the staff report recommending approval of the preliminary subdivision
with conditions and responded to questions regarding access and road improvements required for
the subdivision. An all weather surfaced roadway will be constructed along the required utility
easement to Thistle Street north of the site that will also provide emergency ingress/egress only to
203
Planning Commission Minutes
February 11, 2004
Page 18
the subdivision. The easement will not be developed as a right-of-way.
Jim Mahlum, City Public Works and Utilities Department, spoke regarding the need for
additional right-of-way extending east of the intersection of Scrivner Road and Albert Street. Coyote
Lane is not a public right-of-way and is located in the County. Coyote Run Lane crosses over the
Dekay property at the southeast comer of Scribner Road and Albert Street. Chair Nutter opened the
public heating.
Director Collins responded to detailed questions regarding right-of-way issues and noted that the
proposal addresses right-of-way needs for the development. As conditioned and proposed, traffic
flow expected from the proposed subdivision should not impact unimproved Thistle, Rose, or Eunice
Streets north of the site because access to the north only be for emergency use and utility services.
Steve Zenovic, Zenovic and Associates, 519 South Peabody #22, Port Angeles, WA represented
the applicant and concurred with staff's report. The applicant is aware that improvements need to
be made to Scrivner Road, that utilities need to be extended to the site, and that a stormwater
collection system needs to be engineered and installed for the area.
Chair Nutter stated that development of Scrivner Road will exacerbate stormwater issues at the
comer of Ahlvers and Rhodes Roads with Old Mill Road. She expressed concern that stormwater
issues had been adequately addressed.
Mr. Zenovic explained that stormwater subsurface detention pipes will be placed along each side
of each cul-de-sac directing runoff to a discharge line running north of the Bonneville Power line
easement where a control structure will deposit the water into an existing drainage system. The
project will allow runoff on the site to be retained on-site and released at arate that is no greater than
pre-development (timbered) condition. Mr. Zenovic also responded to Chair Nutter that stormwater
calculations assume that pre-development conditions are for property that is fully timbered, which
the site is not, being mainly brush at this time, so calculations will be more restrictive.
Chair Nutter indicated that all of the letters submitted to the City were included in materials
under review by the Planning Commission, and opened the public hearing.
Steve Oliver, Platt, Irwin, Taylor, 403 South Peabody, Port Angeles, }VA represented a group
of families that reside in the area who oppose the subdivision proposal. Mr. Oliver distributed
materials from the group including a comment letter and information with regard to right-of-way
along Scrivner Road to the Commissioners and staff. While the proposal is consistent with the
zoning designation for the area, the surrounding neighborhood is very different than what is proposed
for the development. The proposal to develop Scrivner Road will require more right-of-way than
what the City currently has in the area. Only one area of the road is a 60' right-of-way with the
remaining distance, approximately 1,000 feet in length, being only 30' wide. Scrivner Road provides
the sole access to 11 residences in the area and serves properties both inside and outside of the City
limits. The proposal could result in an ADT of 397 for Scrivner Road. He did not believe that traffic
impacts on Scrivner Road have been adequately analyzed for the proposal. Scrivner Road crosses
Mill Creek but there is no proposal for a bridge or walkway crossing the creek outside of the
roadway. There is no plan to address construction access issues such that those who depend on
Scrivner Road as their only access will be able to use the road during reconstruction. The drainage
plan proposed by the developer is ditching on both the north and south sides of Scrivner Road with
the ditching routed into Mill Creek - has this been considered? A large pond is contained within
the property that presently drains a good deal of water through a 12" culvert under Scrivner Road
dispersing to the north. It is unclear whether the culvert will remain. Neither the proponent or staff
have conducted a traffic analysis on the intersection of Old Mill Road and Scrivner Road. From
204
Planning Commission Minutes
February 11, 2004
Page 19
Rhodes Road to the south, Old Mill Road is seriously deficient and traffic travels at high rates of
speed given the grade of the hill. When a similar subdivision proposal by the developer was
considered some nine years ago, a condition was imposed that safety concerns be addressed with the
developer. The City has to face up to what is going to be done with this section of road and she
suggested that there be a moratorium on subdivisions in this area until something is done about the
roadway. Mr. Oliver stated that none of the issues previously mentioned were addressed in the
environmental checklist and the project should be put on hold until they are.
Mr. Oliver responded to Commissioner Hewins that his group intends to appeal the SEPA
determination.
Bill Jensen, 426 Rhodes Road, Port Angeles, WA owns the property just north of the proposed
site and grew up in the area. Ditching in the area is dangerous as the ditches are deep and the
roadway narrow. A tremendous amount of water passes over the site north due to logging of the site.
He expressed strong skepticism that the existing system can handle the current runoff much less
additional development. A significant stormwater system will be needed. Safety is a main concern
and the quality of life in the area will be significantly changed with development of the area. He
also was concerned that traffic would find its way to Thistle Street across the Bonneville Power line
from the site which will impact a fragile roadway system in that area.
Joyce Underwood, 5027 Coyote Run Lane, Port Angeles, WA stated that the lowering of road
standards is nothing but an attempt to put low income housing in the area. Lower income housing
should not be outside of the four minute emergency response time. People who buy nice homes want
gutters, nice roads, and sidewalks. As a realtor, she stated that neighborhoods are being mined by
lowering development standards for roadways. Crime rate increases with higher development. How
does a walking path meet the City's standards of placing special emphasis on pedestrian safety? The
area is very wet; are there any plans for on-site retention ponds? She asked if consideration has been
given to well pollution in the area. Additionally, she had concerns about trespassing from additional
people in the area.
Steve Norberg, 339 East $crivner Road, Port Angeles, WA noted that Mill Creek passes through
his property. He wondered what redress he would have when he starts losing property from runoff
directed down the road side ditches into Mill Creek. Traffic is a major concern at the intersection
of Scrivner Road and Old Mill Road. The vision distance south from the comer of Scrivner and Old
Mill Roads is negligible and extremely dangerous.
Jim Hendrickson, 4519 South Coyote Run Lane, Port Angeles, }VA added that widening Old
Mill south from Rhodes to Scrivner Road won't fix problems on the roadway unless Old Mill Road
is widened south of Scrivner to the County line.
~Inn/Ilan, 4415South Coyote Run Lane, Port /ingeles, }Y/I presumed that with the possibility
of 20 new homes in the area, 40 children may live in the area. Without a play area within the
subdivision, children will gravitate to the wooded area either to the east at Peabody Creek or south
to her property directly south of the proposed site. The woods are wet and the area is dangerous for
children. She asked that a play area be put in the subdivision or a barrier fence be constructed by the
developer to prevent trespass. The addition of 20 more mailboxes on Old Mill Road should require
a protected turn out for both the mail delivery person and for those picking up mail. School children
will have to walk to Old Mill Road and will end up in the street unless a bridge is built over the Mill
Creek or the roadway widened.
Rosemary Moorhead, 4124 Old Mill Road, Port/ingeles, }V/i lives at the intersection of Old
Mill Road and Scrivner Road. She agreed that Old Mill Road is very narrow and hazardous.
2O5
Planning Commission Minutes
February 11, 2004
Page 20
Significant development south of Scrivner Road is occurring and the roadway is becoming more
dangerous than ever before. Additional play areas should be developed in the general neighborhood.
Director Collins asked Mr. Oliver if any of his clients, who own property in the area who are
concerned with road safety issues are willing to help resolve those issues by dedicating property for
improvements. Mr. Oliver responded that he does not know if any of those he represents who own
property in the area would be so willing.
Dan Morrison, 4108 Scrivner Road, Port Angeles, }FA who owns property along the south side
of Scrivner Road stated that he would be willing to work with the proponent in the event the
proponent would be willing to work with him in dedicating right-of-way nearly the entire length of
Scrivner Road (south side).
Steve Zenovic pointed out that it is inappropriate to describe the proposed development as low
income housing simply because lot sizes are smaller than larger lots located in the County adjacent
to the site (south). The County requires larger lot sizes, and the proposed lots are quite adequate by
City standards to develop quality, nicer homes.
Leroy Sproat, 615 Thistle Street, Port Angeles, }FA asked for clarification as to where the
emergency roadway would be constructed. Mr. Collins explained that the proposed gravel roadway
would not be for right-of-way purposes and would exist in the utility right-of-way that would extend
north from the northeast comer of the north cul-de-sac with access for emergency ingress/egress and
utility purposes only to Thistle Street.
Jim Mahlum, City Public }Forks and Utilities Division agreed that the emergency roadway
would be gravel only.
Joyce Underwood clarified that as a realtor, people who want nice homes want nice streets,
curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, they don't want to be next to trailers. She asked if mobile homes
would be allowed in the area and stated that people who want nice homes don't want to live next to
mobile homes.
Commissioner Hewins explained that the intent of low impact development standards is
environmental not socio-economic. If the real estate community perceives that the intent of the
City's low impact development standards in suburban/rural areas is to encourage low income
housing, that concern should be brought to the attention of the City Council. Ms. Underwood
responded that she is only speaking for herself and from her experience as a realtor.
Director Collins pointed out that the City's roadway standards in suburban/rural areas have
changed and noted that an area of the City that is developed to the expected low impact development
standards is Woodhaven Lane, which is known to be a more upscale development area of the City.
The lowest density allowed in the City is 9,000 square foot lots, which is what is being proposed.
The site does happen to be located at the extreme south edge of the City bordering County properties
which are required to have larger lot sizes, partly because they are not served by sewer and because,
being in the County, densities are intended to be much lower than within an incorporated City.
There being no further testimony, Commissioner Schramm moved to continue the public
hearing to March 10, 2004, 6 p.m. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Honnold, and
passed 5 - 0.

WORK SESSION:
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
Associate Planner Scott Johns discussed the Comprehensive Plan update process indicating
the public participation to date and the next steps in the process. Materials regarding building
permits issued for residential units (single family, manufactured, and multi-family dwellings) since
the year 1990, thc recent number of lots created by both subdivision and short plat, and population
projections for the City were discussed. An error in the calculations for the population projections
was identified and Mr. Johns indicated that he would correct the problem and provide corrections
by the next Planning Commission meeting..
PARKING ORDINANCE REVIEW
Director Collins provided a memorandum outlining changes being proposed by the Council' s
Community and Economic Development (CED) Committee following review of those changes
recommended by the Planning Commission in 2001. Director Collins stated that it is evident from
the Commission's January 28th discussion that Commissioners are very concerned with the current
proposal by the CED to allow a number of alternatives which would reduce the amount of the
minimum required parking for business uses without real standards, and that the Commission firmly
believes that there will be an increased potential of negative impacts to neighboring businesses and
uses if such a change is implemented. He continued by saying that some members of the CED
Committee have a different view of parking and feel that the City's parking requirements are
preventing businesses from locating in the City. He suggested that if the Commission wishes to
express its nearly unanimous concerns to the Council, a representative should attend the March 16,
2004, Council public hearing scheduled for consideration of thc Parking Ordinance amendment

Commissioner Hewins felt that the flaw in allowing business parking to be based on the
projected occupancy or employee count is that such action will prevent future expansion of that
business if the count changes and additional parking is not available and constant monitoring to
ensure that the preliminary projections by the business operator are valid. Requiring a standard
minimum parking number ensures that the playing field is level from the start and everyone is
assured of a minimum number of parking that is based on industry standard parking practices
recognized byprofessional planners and engineers. By allowing variations in parking standards that
are created without specific reasoning, businesses will be unable to expand and that is certainly not
what is desired or encouraged and would certainly cause anger and fi'ustration.
Commissioner Rasmussen expressed skepticism that a business owner should or could
adequately determine his own parking needs in an unbiased manner.
Commissioner Nutter pointed out that because the new proposal includes the ability for
administrative approvals to be given to reduce or determine the amount of required parking without
public notice, neighboring property owners won't know that a reduction has been given until such
time when a parking situation becomes untenable because there has been no public process, and then
any appeal period would have passed. So, nothing could be done by those imposed upon short of
a civil action while this scenario would pit one business owner against another which is most
definitely not encouraged.
Commissioner Hewins pointed out that to allow shared parking up to 2 1/2 blocks away from
a business site is not practical. If people can't park within a short distance from where they wish to
go, they won't patronize a business and then business really will be driven away by the laxity of
parking regulations.
Commissioner Norton agreed with Commissioners Nutter's and Hewins' comments.
Commissioner Hewins reiterated that it is short sided to make this major a change in standard
parking requirements that are basically accepted in every municipality in one form or another and
that are based on solid standards and made on the presumption that there is a problem that is causing
businesses to not locate within the City. Before such a change is considered, there should be
substantial evidence that there is a problem. He suggested that if it is perceived that there is a
problem, the problem should be documented and solutions reached only after that documentation
because to react is not to solve a problem but to create different ones. There are more problems with
the lack of parking in this town than with too much parking. He pointed out that in the past ten
years, only 3 requests for parking variances have been considered by the Commission, and in every
instance, an equitable solution was found through the public process.
Commissioner Schramm agreed that this major a change is short sided which is not in the
best interest of the citizenry the Commission is directed to serve. The expectation of minimum
standards based on industry studies benefits the community as a whole and to make change those
standards without specific, verifiable reasoning is definitely not.
Commissioner Rasmussen added that the new proposed parking changes would seem to
benefit a few at the expense of the many. The current Parking Ordinance has a focus on the
Downtown needs which are not beneficial to everyone because, the Downtown has a very different
set of parking problems and needs. He was adamant that minimum standards be set for consistent
parking lot development.
Commissioner Honnold works in the Downtown and for the most part has not observed an
insurmountable problem. He would like to review more documentation as to why this type of major
parking amendment is being proposed before deciding if there is a problem.

Commissioner Philpott did not see a reason to tighten up parking restrictions.
Commissioner Nutter stated that a lack of adequate parking negatively affects surrounding
property owners, business patrons, employees, and the general community. She pointed to the
Hospital's continuing parking problem in support of this statement. She is convinced that
perceptions are what are driving the proposed changes by the CED rather than statistics.
In response to Director Collins' suggestion that a Commission representative be present at
the Council's March 16, 2004, public hearing, Commission Sehramm was appointed.

CiTY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE: MARCH 15, 2003
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Michael Quinn, City Manager ~t ~
SUBJECT: BIGG - ICMA Resource City Partnership
Summary: The City of Port Angeles has been asked to participate and render technical assistance
to Tanjung Redeb, IndoneSia as part of the BIGG - ICMA Resource City Program. The funding for
the project involving staff exchanges is supported by the USAID agency. The project would involve
staff time and at least three exchanges by each agency over the course of about 18 months.
Recommendation: Approve the attached resolution authorizing participation in the project.
Background / Analysis: The United States Agency for International Development (USAID)
is the funding agency and sponsor for a partnership with the International City Management
Association (ICMA) to link U.S. cities with cities in developing countries for technical assistance
in providing and managing municipal services. In many cases, the cities are part of a nation that is
experiencing transitional and/or developmental change that has thrust more responsibility for
providing municipal services upon the local jurisdiction. This partnership between USAID and
ICMA created the Resource Cities Program to provide this linkage and established the first such
exchange in 1995 between Mbabane, Swaziland and Durham, North Carolina.
BIGG stands for Building Institutions of Good Governance; and is a collaborative program
application of the Resource Cities Program between the United States and Indonesia. This is the
program that the City of Port Angeles has been asked to participate in as a partner city to Tanjung
Redeb, Indonesia in the East Kalimantan province on the island of Borneo. There are three existing
cities participating in the BIGG Resource Cities Program for 2004:
Savannah, Georgia - Yogyakarta/Bukittinggi
Tigard, Oregon- Samarinda/Balikpapan
Coos Bay, Oregon - Bitung/Sangihe
USAID has authorized the funding of two additional cities to the BIGG program commencing in
2004. The proposal is to link Tanjung Redeb with Port Angeles as one of the new participants. This
proposed partnership was suggested by the BIGG - ICMA consultant Richard To~vnsend. Port
Angeles is a harbor city with a certain dependency upon marine industry, natural resources, timber
and paper mills, and tourism. We have access to a national park and rain forest. Tanjung Redeb
sits on a point between two rivers leading to the Celebes Sea, 36 miles to the east. It is heavily
forested, has natural resources, and the largest pulp and paper mill in Southeast Asia is in this
G:hMASTFO RM\COUNCIL.WPT

district. The city has access to a large rain forest and nature preserve. Along with these similarities
as a community profile, Port Angeles has a reputation as a progressive community with strong
leadership by the Council and strong management by the staff capable of providing such guidance
and technical assistance. Tanjung Redeb has grown 80% in the last twelve years and is currently
120,000 population, but just now coming into an era of strong local governance. The initial
diagnostic evaluation of this area indicated that the community would be served best by information
with water and drainage systems, economic development, health information sharing to the general
population, solid waste and disposal issues, preservation of historical artifacts, internships for public
works or health employees, and the sharing of effective teaching methods. The first task of the
partnership'is to develop a work plan and a Memorandum of Understanding. We are not expected
to address all of these issues, but the most important needs of the community will be addressed. It
is anticipated that the first exchange to accomplish the above work plan and assessment of work
tasks will likely be done by City Manager Quinn and Pul~lic Works Director Cutler to Tanjung
Redeb in mid-April. Followup exchanges with other staff and probably a member of the Council
will occur over the next 18 months.
The goals ol' the program are the following:
1. To provide technical expertise to enable local government managers in developing and
transitional countries to address pressing municipal management issues.
2. To provide basic and realistic community-based models for problem solving and decision
making which are replicable in other communities.
3. To establish supportive professional relationships between international cities and their
respective cultures.
4. To facilitate greater understanding of the mutual benefits derived from achieving
sustainable solutions as cooperative and democratic governments.
5. To improve the delivery of basic municipal services and support economic and
community development.
The impact to the City will be that a few staff members will be out of the area on these exchanges
and not available for a week. Staff time is pro-bono and the travel costs are supported by USAID.
There will be extra time to deal with project issues that arise, but in general, I feel the staff is up to
and welcomes this unique challenge to show our expertise and promote the positive elements of our
City as an example to others. The bottom line is that we have been asked to participate and
contribute our expertise to help a developing city in a foreign land. Considering the many examples
of negative behavior amongst foreign entities in the world, it is refreshing to have an opportunity to
export a positive example of collaboration and cooperation.
