STAFF TO BE

PLACED ON TIllS OR A
FUTURE AGENDA:
and staff would need Council's approval tonight in order to have the Mayor sign the grant
application.
.
Director Collins stated there are 62 Warer Resource Inventory Areas in the State, with only
a small amount of money for watershed planning; Staff anticipates applying for the
maximum grant, which is $500,000 for a one to three year period of time. The most critical
step, at this time, is working with the County to develop the application. It is hoped a
Memorandum of Agreement can be established regarding the lead agency determination..
Tom Pors presented an overview of the basin planning bill (lIB 2514) and the process it
intends to promote. He stated the purpose of the watershed planning process is to resolve
local watershed issues rather than rely on the State Legislature to resolve issues. This
process allows for the various user groups in each basin, such as local and tribal
government, agriculture, environmental groups, etc., to be involved in the resolution of
warer issues: Mr. Pars noted this is important because water issues are different from basin
to basin.
The Legislature has appropriated $3.9 million for local planning grants. He explained how
the plmming process is initiated and the scope of the process itself. Mr. Pors also explained
what the plan cannot do under the law, and he reviewed a list of recommendations for the
Council's consideration. These recommendations included: 1) the City concur with the
decision to initiate this planning process and to authorize the Mayor to negotiate an
interlocal agreement with the County, the irrigation district and the tribes; and 2) to obtain
staffing and funding authorization for the Elwha River to the Morse Creek portion of the
planning process. Attorney Knutson explained the Mayor would be asked to sign the
agreement once staffhas negotiated the agreement with County. This must be done by June
1, 1998; therefore, staff is asking for some flexibility regarding negotiations.
Mr. Pars suggested the agreement take place in two stages and explained what that would .
entail. Discussion followed. Mr. Pors, Directors Collins, Interim Manager Pittis, and
Attorney Knutson responded to questions and provided clarification.
Councilmember McKeown moved to authorize staff to proceed with an interlocal
agreement with the County, Agnew Irrigation District, and ~he tribe; the agreements
to be reviewed by Council prior to June 1, 1998 submission. Councilman Wiggins
seconded the motion. Further discussion ensued, and Attorney Knutson clarified the
cOntents of the interlocal agreement. A vote was taken on the motion, which carried
unanimously.
Deputy Mayor Doyle recessed the meeting for a break at 6:35 p.m.. The meeting
reconvened at 6:45 p.m.
Councilman Wiggins moved to approve the minutes of the regular and special
meetings of May 5, 1998. Councilman Hulett seconded the motion, which carried
unanimously.
Councilman Wiggins requested that discussion of the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee
, , '\
recommendation be held at 7:00p.m.
Deputy Mayor Doyle stated Item A. under Other Considerations would be moved up to

Other Considerations
A. Revisions to Parking Lease for DSHS Offices in J. C. Penney Building
Deputy Mayor Doyle reviewed the information provided by the City Attorney' s offi~ and
asked Attorney Knutson for further input. Attorney Knutson explained there has been a
great deal, of discussion on this matter since it was last before the Council. The main
element of the revision has to do with a lower rate per parking space. Another issue had
to do with giving the developer a better position in which to deal with the owners of the
building. The developer had asked that we give him exclusivity, which was something the ,
City was willing to provide for one year only. The Downtown Association had agreed to
this particular clause; however, it requested that the developer show there was intent on the
part of DSHS to move into the building. A letter to that extent was issued by the State.
Attorney Knutson responded to questions and provided further clarification.
Councilman CampbeU moved to approve a revisions to the DSHS parking lease to
provide for a lesser lease rate and a one year exclusivity period and authorize the
Mayor to sign the agreement. Councilman Hulett seconded the motion, which
carried unanimous.ly.
None.
Councilmember McKeown moved to accept the Consent Agenda, including; A.
Payroll- May 3,1998 - $344,091.14; andB. Check list - May 15,1998 - $471,972.60.
Councilman Wiggins seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
A. Report on Local Involvement Committee Meeting Re: Tacoma Narrows Project
Councilman Williams stated he attended the fmal meeting of the public involvement
process regarding the Tacoma Narrows Project. The purpose of the process was to gather
informAtion for an advisory election. Cdtmcilman Williams introduced Councilman Bob
Smith of Sequim, who had become involved in the process at an earlier stage and,
therefore, had more information to impart.
It was CoWlcilman Williams' understanding that this was an advisory board and the State
has the ability to override the board's recommendation. At the meeting, the Chairperson,
who was from the Department of Transportation (DOT) and a group called the Consul
Group were at opposite ends of the spectrum and argued throughout the day. Councilman
Williams felt the DOT lost more than they anticipated.
The project has been narrowed down to the new bridge and the reconfiguration of the
highway on and off of the bridge. This will be paid for by tolls, and it will be a two lane
bridge with a $365 million price tag. V otersare being asked to approve a private group
to build the bridge and set the toll without knowing a rate of return. The scope of work will
be approximately $302 million, initially funded by a $3 toll. Once the high occupancy lane
is completed, the toll will be applied to eastbound traffic in the commuter lanes only.
CoWlCilman Williams noted that the line item for funding repairs on the Hood Canal Bridge
was vetoed by the Governor.
Bob Smith, Deputy Mayor ofSequim, 237 N. Swtnyside, Sequim, stated there will be three
lanes of traffic going in each direction. The advantage of the second bridge is bicycle and
, pedestrian paths. The new bridge will be built with the capability of having a second deck
added at a later date. Mr. Smith then reviewed the information he received from earlier
meetings not attended by Cowtcilman Williams. Mr. Smith stated that, while the line item
for funding repairs was vetoed by the Governor, he felt this was one Vjay to make the
legislators more responsive. Mr. Smith said he has been assured by the DOT that the Hood
Canal Preservation project will go on and will be funded, hopefully with preservation
money and not with tolls. .

Lodging Tax Advisory
Committee
Recommendation
Port Angeles Works
At Deputy Mayor Doyle's request, Councilman Williams described what he thought would
be on the ballot for this project. Councilman Williams will forward new information as he .
receives it.
Lodging Tax Advisory Committee Recommendation
Councilman Wiggins stated the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee recommends the City
enter into a contract for a marketing program, in the amount of $1 50,000 per year, for a
three year period, with a renewable option for two more years. The contract date would be
. June 1, 1998. Growth should occur at a rate of 5% per year over three years. Councilman
Wiggins explained how the base line was arrived at and stated the contract allows for a 5%
increase during the first 18 months. Councilman Wiggins moved that the City enter
into a contract with the Chamber of Commerce and the Visitor & Convention
Bureau, that a contract be prepared, and the Mayor be authorized to sign the
contract. Councilmember McKeown seconded the motion. Councilman Wiggins
invited Rick Hert or Lamel Black to comment on the contract. -
Rick Hert, VCB, thanked the Committee for its hard work and the City Council for its
support. The Chamber and VCB have hired Wendt AdvertisiIig; meeting notices have been
sent inviting input to set the future direction. Everyone is excited about the future. Laurel
Black, President of the VCB, thanked Rick Hert on behalf of the entire VCB membership.
She felt the commitment of funding will make a big difference in the City's future.
Councilman Wiggins invited members of the Lodging Tax Committee to conuhent. John
Platt, Best Western Olympic Lodge, felt it was a good year for this Committee. The group
worked hard and is excited about the direction things are going. Robert Harbick, 1006 S.
Lincoln Street, stated the Committee examined many ways to use the money and worked .
long and hard to achieve these results. This group gave a great presentation, and he was
confident the coming years would be prosperous for Port Angeles. Dick Vogel, Uptown
Motel, asked the Council to support this recommendation.
Councilman Wiggins stated that the Committee will be responsible for ensuring the
baseline information is accurate and measurable. Councilman Campbell echoed the
comments of the lodging industry members. This was not an easy process, and much
negotiation and discussion led to this recommendation. Councilman Campbell felt it was
an extraordinary agreement; the l09ging industry, VCB and Chamber are going to be held
accountable for getting tourists to Port Angeles. Also, the element of cooperation was
important and will lead to further integration among the tourism promotional groups in Port
. Angeles and Clallam CoUnty. The City is launching a great effort. .
Following brief discussion, it vote was taken on tbe motion, which carried
unanimously.
B.
Report on Port Angeles Works
Councilman Campbell reported that the Port Angeles Works group has met with staff to
discuss how to attract new economic development to Port Angeles by using the $300,000
grant from Rayonier. The group felt expertise was needed to d~ide on how to spend this
money, and that expertise was available within the community. The group is in the process
of identifying those people, and they will be invited to join the Committee in accordance
with the rules set forth by the Council. A list of candidates will be presented to the Council
for approval. A mission statement is being developed, and a letter is being drafted to send
to prospective members. Councilman Campbell asked for comments or input from the .
Council regarding the recruitment process.
Councilmember McKeown felt that the Committee had been appointed and can be relied
upon to seek and select good citizen candidates for this Committee. Councilman Campbell

MEMORANDUM.
DATE:
JUNE 2, 1998
CITY MANAGER, MAYOR BRAUN AND CITY COUNCIL
TO:
FROM:
PUBLIC WORKS AND UTILITIES DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: FINAL ACCEPTANCE AND PAYMENT FOR 2 LANDFILL PROJECTS
SUMMARY and RECOMMENDATION: The landfill experienced leachate breakout problems
due to high levels of moisture in the landfill cell during the Winter of 1997 and Spring of (1998.
Parametrix designed a solution to the problem and also completed plans for the Gas SY$tem
Improvements we were required to install. DelHur submitted a quote for both projects at
approximately 80% under the engineer's estimates if the projects could be completed at the
same time. The Public Works & Utilities Department recommends the City Council
accept the projects to repair the leachate system, and the gas system improvements and
authorize the payment to DeIHur Industries, Inc., in the sum of $47,247.12.
ISSUE: Should the City accept the Landfill Leachate Breakout Control Improvement and Gas
System Improvement projects and make final payment?
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: The Landfill experienced some leachate breakout problems due
to the high levels of moisture in the landfill cell during the Winter of 1997 and the Spring of
1998. This breakout caused the leachate to flow into the ditch at the side of the road and
could have gone into the storm system. Landfill personnel took emergency measures to
contain the breakout and immediately contacted our consultant, Parametrix, inc., to design a
permanent solution to the problem. Both the Clallam County Department of Health and the
Department of Ecology inspected the landfill and were concerned about the breakout and the
method used for control. It was decided it would be in the City's best interest to proceed with
the repairs as quickly as possible. The design and scope of work prepared by Parametrix
were satisfactory to both the County Department of Health and the Department of Ecology.
Pollution control facilities are exempt from the bidding process so we asked DelHur Industries
for a quote. DeIHur's was the contractor that had originally constructed the Landfill cell. Their
quote was under the engineer's estimate by about 30% and they were available to start the
. project immediately. Another project required for the Landfill, by our Operations Plan entailed
adding new methane gas Iiries in between the existing gas lines and at a higher level, also
needed to be done. DeIHur gave us a quote to do this project while they were already on site
at approximately 50% of the engineer's estimate. Both of these projects 'were completed
before rain storms could affect the level of the leachate. We should have gotten Council
concurrence as soon as we knew the project costs and for that oversight we apologize,
however, we felt time was of the essence in completing the projects as quickly as possible
and at a substantial savings. The projects have been inspected and approved by Parametrix.
Funding for both projects is included in the Cell 3 Landfill Expansion Project budget.

FROM:
Bruce Becker, Fire Chief
RE:
Fees for Duplicating and Searching of
Medical Records
ISSUE:
Should the Council authorize the Fire Department to
charge a reasonable fee for duplic,ating and/or.
searching for medical records?
RECOMMENDATION: f
The Fire Department recommends amending the fee
ordinance and allow charging $.74 a page for the
first 30 pages and $.57 for each page thereafter.
Fire Department also recommends a $17 charge for
a clerical fee for searching and handling of
records.
BACKGROUND:
\.,
The Fire Department cl1arges for .copies as - per
Chapter 3.70 of ~PAMC. Chapter 70.02 RCW allows a
gre~ter fee for searching and copying,of medical
records. The RCW allows $.74 per page for the first
30 pages and $.57 for all additional pages. In
addition a clerical fee for searching and handling
of the request for copies are allowed up to $17.
ANALYSIS:
The Fire Department does process r€quest for
medical records from lawyers, insurance companies,
etc. There is a large amount of time dedicated. in
searching for the information.

Souders abstaining.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
COMPREHRNS~ PI,AN AMENDMENT - CPA 98-01 - LaRue, West
.8th Street between "G" and "H" Streets: Request for redesignation of
property currently designated LDR, Low Density Residential, to HDR, High
Density Residential. (Continued from April 22, 1998.)
Senior Planner David Sawyer reviewed the Planning Department's staff report
recommending that the Planning Commission forward a favorable recommendation to the
City Council in support of the amendment. Chair Reed read the public testimony oath and
reminded those present of the need to sign in to present public testimony.
Bill La Rue, 222 W. Park Avenue, represented the application and stated that his family has
owned the property for a couple of decades. Although there are no current plans for.
development or offers to purchase the property, the area seems to make sense for high
density residential development given the Park View Villas development that exists directly
across the street. The location is on a bus route and is less than a block away from Shane
Park. The City's Comprehensive Plan portrays the proposed area as ,being eligible for
redesignatioQ. to High Density Residential. An adjoining property owner contacted him for
information regarding the proposal upon receipt of the public notification letter but did not
state objection to the proposal.

.
Planner Sawyer responded to a question from the Commissioners that property owners
within 300 feet of the site were notified by mail and the site was posted for 15 days prior to
the hearing. This proposal is to change the Comprehensive Plan designation for the site, not
to rezone the property at this time. The application includes three properties that are not
under the. La Rue family ownership.
There being no further comments, Chair Reed closed the public hearing. '
Commissioner King moved to recommend approval of the Comprehensive Plan
amendment as proposed citing the following findings and conClusions:
Findings:
Based on the information provided in the May 13, 1998, Staff Report for CPA 98-01,
(including all of its attachments), comments and information presented during the public
hearing, and the Planning Commission's discussion and deliberation, the City of Port
Angeles Planning Commission hereby finds that:
1.
All information provided in the May 13, 1998, Staff Report for CPA 98-01,
(including all of its attachments), comments and information presented during the
public hearing, and the Planning Commission's discussion and deliberation have been
considered in this decision and is considered a part thereof.
.
2. The applicant, Bill La Rue representing Jack and Ethel La Rue, is requesting to
extend the High Density Residential land use designation to include the north side
of the 1400 block ofW. 8th Street (Lots 11-20, Block 245 of the Townsite of Port
Angeles). (Attachment A of Planning Department Staff Report for CPA 98-01 dated
May 13, 1998.) . .
3. The subject properties are located in the City's North West Planning Area.
4. The lots are standard 50' by 140' (7,000 sf) lots fronting on 8th Street. They contain
three single-family residences and one duplex.
5. All property owners were notified of the proposed amendment.
6. The SEP A Responsible Official issued a Determination of Non-Significance (DNS)
on May 13, 1998, regarding this request.
7. The properties are currently designated Low Density Residential on the City's
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map.
8.
The Planning Department Staff Report for CPA 98-01 dated May 13, 1998, identifies
the Comprehensive Plan's Land Use Element Policies CI-4 as being the most
relevant to the proposal.

Street to the north for one half block into an area that is primarily composed of
single-family residences.
13.
Eighth Street is identified in the Transportation Element as a Collector Arterial.
Conclusions:
Based on the information provided in the May 13, 1998, Staff Report for CPA 98-01,
(including all of its attachments), comments and information presented during the public
hearing, the Planning Commission's discussion and deliberation, and the above listed
findings, th~ C~ty of Port Angeles Planning Commission hereby concludes the following.:
A. Restricted to the lots south of the 7th/8th Street alley, the amendment should not
change the overall character of the low-density neighborhood to the north.
B. Urban services which are in place to serve the existing high-density development on
the south side of 8th Street are sufficient to serve the proposed area.
C. The proposed area can serve as a transitional use between the heavy traffic of 8th
Street and the low-density neighborhood to the north.
D The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan, specifically Land Use Element Policies Cl-4
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Souders and passed 5 - 2 with
Commissioners Hewins and Nutter voting "no". Commissioner Hewins did not vote for
the amendment because there are other residential high density properties that are not
developed in the area, and there is not an apparent need for additional RHD properties at this
time. Commissioner Nutter agreed with Commissioner Hewins and also felt this created an

unnecessary encroachnient into the residential area on the sot~de of Eighth Street.
.
PARKING VARIANCE - PKV 98-02 - ROGERS, 1210 East Front Street.
Proposal to allow a reduction from the required 43 parking spaces to 19
spaces to allow for expansion of a use in the Commercial Arterial District.
Commissioner Souders stepped down from the meeting and left the meeting due to an
appearance of fairness as the application involves a printing business ang she is the owner
of such a business.
Senior Planner Sawyer reviewed the Planning Department's staff report recommending
denial of the requested variance and explained how staff determined the parking
requirements for the type' of uses that exist on the site at the present time. He offered two
alternatives in analyzing the parking requirements for the site which result in a difference of
only two spaces. The alternatives involve whether the subject use is viewed as a print shop
or an office use.
In responding to Commissioner Hewifls, Planner Sawyer verified that a previous reduction
in the parking regulations was approved for the use. However, at that time, parking spaces
were calculated under more restrictive guidelines than at present. There was further
discussion regarding parking off site that appears to be related to the AGS "business.
Chair Reed opened the public hearing.
.
LYIlll Rogers, 1210-C Frollt Street, stated that the current parking layout for the site, which
contains thiee business uses, was prepared by a professional parking designer with the
approval by the City. His proposal is to add a second story to a portion of the main building
structure that. contains the Domino's Pizza use but will not result in a second story to that
portion ofthe building. AGS is not a commercial printing business. They print only their
. own materials, do not encourage salesmen, and have no walk-in trade. Thirteen hundred
seventy-six (1376) square feet of usable area exists at present. That area does not allow for
room to store paper _for the printing use. The proposal will add an additional nine hundred
(900) square feet of storage area for continued operation of the business. In addition to the
print operation, AGS operates an internet based business which would also be located on the
proposed second floor. Employees in this portion of the business will work on a shift basis
24 hours a day.
He was surprised to learn that the request for a reduction in parking requirements was not
acceptable to two adjoin~ng property owners, Dr. Wilcox and J6hn St. Laurent, who asked
that the proposal be denied. He spoke with Dr. Wilcox regarding his concern but could not
reach Mr. St. Laurent. .
Subsequent meetings with employees resulted in agreements from the employee group to
seek alternative modes of transportation to work and to work split shifts to reduce the. amount
of parking generated by the business operations at anyone time. Additionally, he spoke with .
the property owner directly to the east 'of the site regarding the possibility of obtaining
property for approximately ten (10) additional parking spaces. He believed this is a viable

option.
In response to Commissioner Ziakin, Mr. Rogers responded that he currently employs
twenty-seven (27) employees, twenty-three (23) of which work during the day. He expects
to hire approximately ten (10) to twelve (12) new employees during the next year that will
work mainly a night shift. He has been operating from the existing location for the past five
years.
Commissioner Reed began a discussion on the possible conflict that could occur at the end
of a shift unless there is a brief down time. Mr. Rogers proposed a o1.le-half hour stagger I .
period.
Bart Phillips, Clallam County Economic Development Council, spoke in favor of the
proposal. As a private non-profit operation that encourages the retention of existing
businesses and the acquisition of additional business uses, the EDC is in favor of flexibility
that allows an employer to encourage alternative modes of transportation and utilize split
shift opportunities to solve parking problems and operate efficiently. The business does not
depend on retail trade. Parking on-site is generated by employees only. Growth of the
business is being impinged by the site. He is convinced ofthe applicant's sincerity to seek
inventive parking solutions. He encouraged the Planning Commission to look at the broader
context of the situation and work out the technical aspects in a favorable manner. .
Chuck LaBar, 401 Whidby Avenue, defended staffs recommendation because staff is
charged to analyze the application from the regulations that are found in the Port Angeles
Municipal Code but the Planning Commission should act as members of the community and
take the "Port Angeles Works" statement to heart. He applauded the applicant's willingness
to be flexible and asked that be taken into account in the decision.
There being no further public comment, Chair Reed closed the public hearing.
Planner Sawyer responded in detail to the Commission's questions regarding the method of
calculation of required and supplied parking spaces for the existing uses and the expansion
that is proposed. He offered to work further with the applicant at the Commission's direction
to determine if there is some additional flexibility that would make a difference. The
applicant did not provide information regarding split shift possibilities or the use of
additional off-site parking in the initial proposal so these possibilities were not analyzed in
the staff report. He had not been able to speak in detail with the applicant as he [the
applicant] had been o~t of town, although he had spoken briefly with Mrs. Rogers by phone.
Off-site parking arrangements are a possibility and have been utilized by other business sites
in the area.
Commissioner Ziakin commended the applicant on his willingness t6 work with his
employees on alternative transportation methods and working arrangements to reduce site
congestion.
Upon inquiry, Planner Sawyer noted that he counted only those parking spaces that qualify
as standard parking spaces. He did not count areas along the alley.

Planning Commission Minutes - May 13. 1998
Page 6
Planning Director Collins stated that he believes conditions could be attached to a decision
of approval that would address specific concerns. He repeated the various methods used to .
calculate parking requirements for the site.
Commissioner Hewins moved to deny the parking variance as proposed due to the
existing congestion on site. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Nutter.
In response to Commissioner Ziakin, Planning Director Collins and Planner Sawyer provided
alternatives which included continuation of the request to work further with the applicant to
investigate the various alternatives previously spoken of in an effort to come to a workable
solution. to the concerns prior to denial of the request.
The motion failed by a 3 - 3 vote. Commissioners Hewins, Nutter, and King voted for
the motion, Reed, Craver, and Ziakin voted against the motion.
Commissioner Ziakin moved to reopen and continue the public hearing to May 27,
1998, in order to allow this applicant .to explore with Planning staff which would
include shift work and transportation options. The motion was seconded by
Commissioner Craver.
Commissioner Nutter applauded the success of the business and stated that although she
would like to see the business continue to flourish, she felt that too many concessions were
being proposed that are not enforceable andwhich may not be fair to other property owners.
She encouraged denial of the motion but would like to see the applicant return with a more .
complete proposal which includes the options and variations proposed by the applicant
during the public hearing. Commissioner King agreed with this analysis.
Commissioner Hewins noted that today's society is based around the automobile and it is
necessary to provide for those needs. Although the applicant has stated a willingness to work
out alternate work schedules and seek alternative forms of transportation for employees,
invariably, a reduction in required parking runs its ~ourse and results in a deficit that affects
everyone. Busses do not always run on business schedules and employees will need to
drive to work.
Commissioner King agreed and added that the applicant did not propose alternative methods
of transportation in his application. He hoped that the applicant would have thoroughly
analyzed his options prior to making his application to allow the Commission to thoroughly
study those options and be able to render a well thought out decision. He encouraged the
applicant to correct that deficiency in a second application. He agreed that in his
professional experience most parking reductions do not work out in the long run as there is
a demand for parking in today's society that must be addressed.
Commissioner Craver encouraged a favorable vote on the motion in order to provide the
applicant an opportunity to work through the alternatives that he proposed including the
possibility of obtaining parking on the property to the east which would solve the problems
at hand.
.
Commissioner Reed stressed exploring every opportunity to work within the set guidelines
. and that maybe a little more effort would result in a workable solution without appearing to

twist the rules. The business is valued by the community, and as staff didn't have the
opportunity to work closely with the applicant in this situation due to business conflicts and
new information prior to the meeting, he encouraged continuation of the item to provide
more review time and to explore all the options available before rendering a final decision.
On call for the question, it resulted in a tied vote: Commissioners Nutter, Hewins, King
to deny; and Reed, Ziakin, and Craver in favor.
Planning Director Collins suggested that as the Commission appears to be deadlocked, it
reconsider the original motion and pass the item along to the City Council.
Chair Reed asked Mr. Rogers to address questions regarding his wishes in the matter.
Mr. Rogers stated that he understood the question to be whether he wishes to proceed with
a continuance to the next meeting or to ask for a clear denial to be able to appeal the decision
to the City Council. He answered that it is obvious the Commission is prejudiced against
certain points of view and his only alternative is to take it to the City Council.
Given the applicant's decision, Commissioner Hewins moved to deny the parking
variance citing the following findings and conclusions:
Findings:
Based on the information provided in the May 13, 1998, Staff Report for PKV 98-02,
(including all of its attachments), comments and information presented during the public
hearing, and the Planning Commission's discussion and deliberatiop, the City of Port
Angeles Planning Commission hereby finds that:
1. The applicant and owner of the property is Lynn Rogers.
2. The subject property is located at 1210-C Front Street.
3. The applicant's proposal is to reduce the number of required parking spaces required
for the subject site and its existing and proposed uses from 43 to 19.
4. The applicant is proposing to construct approximately 900 square feet of additional
ground floor area which will be used.to expand the printing shop portion of the AGS
business and to construct an additional 4,400 square feet of floor area as a second
story on the existing eastern building. This area is to be used for AGS and ARCV
office operations.
5. The property is designated as Commercial in the City's Comprehensive Plan.
6. The property is zoned Commercial Arterial (CA).
7.
The ~xisting and proposed uses are permitted uses in the CA zone.
8. The site is located on the north side of the 1200 block of East Front Street. It consists
of three 50' by 140' townsite lots totaling approximately 21,000 square feet in size.
043
Planning Commission Minutes - May 13. 1998
Page 8
.
9. The site is level and currently developed with three individual buildings. The largest
building (approximately 5,500 sf) is located on the east half ofthe site and contains
three separately addressed businesses, a small pizza delivery outlet, an internet
service business (affiliated with the applicant's primary business), and the applicant's
mapping business. The other two buildings are on the west half of the site. The
second buildmg (approximately 3,500 sf) near the front of the site is occupied by a
retail pawn shop and the third and smallest building (1,350 sf) located near the rear
of the site is occupied by the printing portion of the applicant's business.
10. There are currently 20 striped parking spaces on the subject site with access to Front
Street, Jones Street and the alley to the south.
11. Existing land uses adjacent to the subject site are as follows:
To the north:
To the south:
To the east:
To the west:
multi-family housing
commercial uses
single-family residence
veterinary office
12.
The proposed variance is categorically exempt from State Environmental Protection
Act threshold determination and environmental impact statement requirements.
.
13. In December of 1992, the City Council approved a reduction in parking requirements
from 40 spaces to 20 spaces for similar uses on the subject site (PKV 92(12)03).
Since that time, the Parking Ordinance has been amended reducing the number of
spaces required for retail and office uses and establishing one standard size parking
space (8.5' by 18).
14. Although the application is for a reduction from '43 required spaces to 19 spaces, the
Port Angeles Municipal Code requires a total of 44 spaces for the existing and.
proposed uses.
15. The requested variance results in a shortage of 25 spaces or 57% of the number
required by the Port Angeles Municipal Code.
16. The Public Works Department indicated the parking at this site "is currently utilized
fully." Their complete comments are attached as Attachment B of the May 13, 1998
Staff Report for PKV 98-02.
17.
The Fire Department indicated they feel any potential parking overflow would not
effect fire access to the site. Their complete comments are attached as Attachment
C of the May 13, 1998 Staff Report for PKV 98-02.

Conclusions'
Based on the information provided in the May 13, 1998, Staff Report for PKV 98-02,
(including all of its attachments), comments and information presented during the public
hearing, the ~lanning Commission's discussion and deliberation, and the above listed
findings, the City of Port Angeles Planning Commission hereby concludes that:
1.- The subject site's existing uses and reduced number of required parking spaces
combined with any increased use of the site without additional on-site parking spaces
has the potential to further impact adjacent properties and the flow of traffic in the
abutting alley.
2. Based on the information provided by the applicant regarding the current and future
types of business activities conducted by AGS, the AGS business is considered a
mapping business with the parking requirements of an office use rather than a
printing business.
3. The proposed variance is not consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan,
specifically Transportation Element Policy B 14.
4,
The proposed variance does not meet the intent of the City's Off-Street Parking
Ordinance.
Commissioner Nutter noted that she would like to see a re-application with all the various
alternatives clearly spelled out for the Commission's consideration. Commissioner Ziakin
asked if the applicant was aware,how difficult this issue was for the Planning Commission
and that the members were endeavoring to see~ a favorable solution.
. '
Director Collins stated that he believes the applicant is hoping that by making an appeal to
the City Council he can move forward in a more timely fashion as the Commission appears
to be deadlocked.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Nutter, and passed 5 - 1 with Commissioner
Ziakin voting in the negative.
,
?
Planning Director Collins indicated that he believes the applicant accepts the denial in a
effort to be able to appeal the decision to the City Council.
Commissioners Reed and Craver wanted it made clear that their votes in favor of denial were
in acknowledgment of the applicant's request for such and to enable him to continue as he
requested with an appeal without further consideration by the Planning Commission.
Director Collins explained the appeal proceedings to the applicant and that there is an appeal
fee involved in that process. '
Commissioner Souders returned to the meeting room.

MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT - MCA 98-01 - CITY OF PORT
ANGELES, City wide: A pr.op.osal t.o amend Chapter 15 (Environment).of
the P.ort Angeles Municipal C.ode t.o process sh.oreline substantial
devel.opment permits administratively. (C.ontinued fr.om April 22, 1998.)
Commissi.oner S.ouders n.oted f.or the rec.ord that alth.ough she was n.ot present at the previ.ous
meeting~ she had read the'minutes .of that meeting and was prepared t.o act .on this issue.
Direct.or C.ollins reviewed staffs mem.orandum. '
C.ommissi.oner S.ouders n.oted that if the amendment is approved, the City Planning Direct.or
w.ould bec.ome n.ot .only the City's SEP A Resp.onsible Official, which he is at present, but
w.ould then als.o be the final auth.ority en sh.oreline permit applicati.on. She believes m.ore
pe.ople sh.ould be inv.olved in decisi.ons en sh.oreline permits.
.
The C.ommissi.oners discussed the drawbacks t.o the prop.osal which w.ould all.ow a public
hearing .only by appeal te the City C.ouncil rather than during the applicati.on process.
C.ommissi.oner Craver felt strongly that acti.ons .on sh.oreline permit applicati.ons sh.ould be
made .only after a public hearing. The pr.op.osal w.ould result in a decisi.on being rendered
.outside .of a public hearing, and, if an appeal is filed by an interested party, a public hearing
w.ould then be held .on that appeal by the City C.ouncil.
In resp.onse t.o C.ommissi.oner Ziakin, Chair Reed explained the hist.ory .of the relatively .
recent devel.opment and ad.opti.on .of the City's Sh.oreline Master Pr.ogram and that its
regulati.ons with regard t.o permit activities and uses are very specific. Public testim.ony is
rarely given n.or is there generally ever any.one .other than the applicant t.o speak t.o, .or .object
te, an applicati.on request. Decisi.ons are largely based up.on the pr.op.osal's c.ompliance with
the Master Program. Under the current pr.op.osal, appeals .of decisi.ons w.ould be heard by the
City C.ouncil thr.ough a public hearing pr.oc,ess in the event s.ome.one disagreed with a
'decisi.on. Currently, appeals w.ould be heard thr.ough a cl.osed rec.ord hearing .only with n.o
pu1?lic hearing at the City C.ouncil.
C.ommissi.oner Ziakin n.oted that alth.ough he realizes the amendment is in an attempt t.o
hasten the lenghty sh.oreline permit applicatien process, in trying t.o acc.omplish this end we
are taking away the right t.o be heard t.o a certain degree, except by appeal .of a decisi.on.
Direct.or C.ollins n.oted that there is a 3D-day public cemment peri.od pri.or t.o any decisi.on
p.ossibility in which staff will be reviewing the applicati.on with any.one wh.o ch.o.oses t.o
questi.on anything ab.out the pr.ocess and wh.o wishes t.o add their th.oughts and c.oncerns t.o
the file. The same review process w.ould be f.oll.owed with the staff making a
rec.ommendati.on the same as t.o the Planning C.ommissi.on, but t.o the Direct.or. Bey.ond that,
any.one aggrieved by the decisi.on c.ould appeal t.o the City C.ouncil and be heard at a public
hearing.
Direct.or C.ollins elab.orated in resp.onse t.o C.ommissi.oner Ziakin that the types .of sh.oreline .
uses that w.ould fall under the permitting auth.ority w.ould range fr.om min.or improvements
t.o existing facilities t.o a maj.or mill pr.op.osal .on the water.

.
The Commission continued to discuss their concerns regarding the appeal process.
Commissioner Craver stated that as the City's waterfront/shoreline areas are one of its major
resources, she would rather the Planning Commission act on shoreline permit applications
than those decisions being made by one individual. ')
Commissioner King agreed that it is important to allow the public an opportunity to speak
and to contribute to shoreline issues; however, it is also important to hasten application
processes when possible.
( .
Commissioner Ziakin stated that the public's past indifference or lack ofmvolvement is not
a valid reason to cut them off from future involvement.
Commissioner Ziakin moved to retain the current processing procedure citing the
following findings and conclusions:
Findings:
1. The City of Port Angeles adopted, and the State of Washington approved, a revised
Shoreline Master Program, which is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan,
in 1995 that contains standards under which development within shoreline areas may
occur.
2.
In accordance with State statutes, the City passed new requirements (Ordinance
2911) limiting certain permits to one open record public hearing process.
3. Shoreline Substantial Development Permits (SMA) are currently processed by the
Planning Commission, which meets twice a month.
- .
4. Shoreline Substantial Development Permit applications require an extraordinary (30
days) public notification period by the State prior to a decision.
5. There is a 21-day appeal period at the state level during which no work may. be
commenced following the local authority's final action on a shoreline permit. .
6. Currently, appeals of shoreline permit decisions must go to the City Council on a
closed record basis.
I
7. The City's Municipal Code allows for appeal of administrative actions to the City
Council on an open record basis. !
Conclusion:
A. Applicants and the public benefit from an open public hearing process.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Craver, and passed 6 - 1. Commissioner
Reed voted against the motion as decisions regarding shoreline permit applications are
strictly prescribed in the City's Shoreline Master Program with appeal of those actions to the
City Council at a public hearing.

COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC
.
Theresa Schmid, 114 East Ninth Street, asked the Planning Commission whether it would
continue with consideration of the Northwest Permit rezone proposal (Item I on the agenda)
as the applicants did not submit the promised traffic study by the time promised. She
clarified that although she is asking about a specific issue, she would also like to know
generally if material is not received when it is due, what actions the Commission is
accustomed to take.
(
I
At the direction of the Chair, Director Collins explained that when staff requests materials
in order to perform an adequate review and recommendation to the Planning Commission,
if that material is received in a manner that allows for that review, all efforts are made to
accomplish the application process in a timely manner. When staff requested the Planning
Commission to continue the subject rezone public hearing to its June 10 meeting it was with
. some skepticism that a traffic study would be completed by April 30th, as stated by the
applicant, given the time frame involved. The study is late by that fact, but if the information
is received in a manner that allows for a thorough review and recommendation, the
Commission will continue to process the application at its June 10 meeting.
Marsha Pearson, 118 East Ninth Street, asked if the commissioners visit specific sites prior
to decisions. The Commissioners and staff responded that they do visit sites but do not stop
or speak to applicants or neighbors.
.
STAFF REPORTS
Director Collins explained drafting corrections that were made to the City's Shoreline
Environment Map following the Commission's recommendation to the City Council to
change two areas at the April 22nd meeting. The corrections were to clarify the
Commission's action.
REPORTS OF COMMISSION MEMBERS
Senior Planner Sawyer clarified a condition of the conditional use pemlit for the Virginia
Mason Clinic on Eighth and Vine Street.
Commissioner Nutter commented on the progress of the City's'Non Motorized Advisory
Committee meetings. She also noted the illegal use of Francis Street by a commercial rental
activity (V-Haul) that is storing moving vans on the street. Not only is this a zoning
violation, it is a hazardous traffic situation. Director Collins noted that it is a police issue.

Conclusions:
Based on the information provided in the May 13, 1998, Staff Report for CPA 98-01,
(including all of its attachments), comments and information presented during the public
hearing, the Planning Commission's discussion and deliberation, and the above listed
'findings, the. Ci.ty of Port Angeles Planning Commission hereby concludes the following:
A. Restricted to the lot~ south of the 7th/8th Street alley, the amendment should not
change the overall character of the low-density neighborhood to the north.
B. Urban services which are in place to serve the exis~ing high-density development on
the south side of 8th Street are sufficient to serve the proposed area.
C. The proposed area can serve as a transitional Use between the heavy traffic of 8th .
Street and the low-density neighborhood to the north.
D The proposed amendment is consistent with the 'goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan, specifically Land Use Eleme~t Policies CI-4
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Souders and passed 5 - 2 with
Commissioners Hewins and Nutter voting "no". Commissioner Hewins did not vote for
,
the amendment because there are other residential high density properties that are riot
developed in the area, and there is not an apparent need for additional RHD properties at this
time. Commissioner Nutter agreed with Commissioner Hewins and also felt this created an

PARKING VARIANCE - PKV 98-02 - ROGERS, 1210 East FrontStreet:
Proposal to allow a reduction from the required 43 parking spaces to 19
spaces to allow for expansion of a use in the Commercial Arterial District.
Commissioner Souders stepped down from the meeting and left the meeting due to an
appearance of fairness as the application involves a printing business and she is the owner
of such a business.
Senior Planner Sawyer reviewed the Planning Oepartment's staff report recommending
denial of the requested variance and explained how staff determined the parking
requirements for the type of uses that exist on the site at the present time. He offered two
alternatives in analyzi~g the parking requirements for the site which result in a difference of
only two spaces. The alternatives involve whether the subject use is viewed as a print shop
or an office use.
In responding to Commissioner Hewi~s, Planner Sawyer verified that a previous reduction
in the parking regulations was approved for the use. However, at that time, parking spaces
were calculated under more restrictive guidelines than at present. There was further
discussion regarding parking off site that appears to be related to the AGS business.
Chair Reed opened the public hearing.
LYIIII Rogers, 1210-C Front Street, stated that the current parking layout for the site, which
contains three business uses, was prepared by a professional parking designer with the '
approval by the City. His proposal is to add a second story to a portion ofthe main building
structure that contains the Domino's Pizza use but will not result in a second story to that
portion of the building. AGS is not a commercial printing business. They print only their
.own materials, do not encourage salesmen, and have nO walk-in trade. Thirteen hundred
seventy-six (1376) square feet of usable area exists at present. That area does not allow for
room to store paper _for the printing use. The proposal will add an additional nine hundred
(900) square feet of storage area for continued operation of the business. In addition to the
print operation, AGS operates an internet based business which would also be located on the
proposed second floor. Employees in this portion of the business will work on a shift basis
24 hours a day .
.
He w~s surprised to learn that the request for a reduction in parking requirements was not
acceptable to two adjoining property owners, Dr. Wilcox and John St. Laurent, who asked
that the proposal be denied. He spoke with Dr. Wilcox regarding his concern but could not
reach Mr. St. Laurent. -
Subsequent meetings with employees resulted in agreements from the employee group to
seek alternative modes of transportation to work and to work split shifts to reduce the amount
of parking generated by the business operations at anyone tune. Additionally, he spoke with
the property owner directly to the east of the site regarding the possibility of obtaining
property for approximately ten (10) additional parking spaces. He believed this is a viable

I. Introductions
Authority Board Chairperson Carole Boardman opened the special joint public
meeting at 3:00 p.m. Introductions were made at this time. It was noted there
was no quorum for the Port Angeles City Council present.
II. . Meetinq Outcome - Dan Di Guilio
Dan Di Guilio stated if the outcome of this meeting was positive, the Port Angeles
City Council and CTS.Authority Board should direct staff to develop an interlocal
agreement to identify the roles and responsibilities related to the construction and
operation of the Port Angeles International Gateway Transportation Center
project.
III. Proiect History - Tim Smith
Tim Smith stated the multi-modal project is actually seen as a series of
coordinated transportation activities between the downt'own waterfront and Front
Street. He noted the hub is seen as being within the downtown core near the
waterfront and ferry terminals. He said overall the project deals with fnfrastructure
at the waterfront, sidewalks, sign?ige, etc. Tim went on to discuss how the
original project began. He mentioned a transitioning economy and some
deterioration of the central business district (CBD) with some businesses lost to
other 10C?l1 communities. Tim went on to say there had been some poor CBD
land use and mentioned underused parking capacity, few large development
Special Joint Public Meetina Minutes
May 26, 1998
Page 2
sites, underutilized use of valuable waterfront, and seasonally congested traffic.
He noted the goals were to identify and implement CSD projects to stimulate the
economy, address failing public infrastructure, provide opportunities to attract
private investment, and promote better CSD land use. He added through
improving public" infrastructure, more private and public partners would be
attracted.
Tim stated the initial partners were the city, CTS, and the port. He added the list
of partners had been expanded to include other local, regional, state, and federal
agencies and the local business community. Tim noted an action plan was
developed by the city. He added through the process there were grumblings that
this would be just another plan. Tim mentioned the successive "wave" concept of
development to be used, Le., plan, fund, implement, review, plan, fund,
implement, review, etc., along with successive "wave" funding acquisition. Tim
said the pre-design plan led to the broad CSD plan (Downtown Forward). He
stated in looking at the whole concept, the multi-modal transportation center
connected all the other related projects together, Le., water mains, sidewalks,
estuary, Gateway center, convention center, old City Hall, state office, and the
Lee Hotel. Tim noted the pre-design phase was expanded to bring all
stakeholders together to participate in the discussions. He added that while doing
this the planning department kept listening for areas of consensus in the p~rojects.
Tim said early in the process it was determined advantageous for the city to stay
with basic public infrastructure; thus the sidewalks and water mains were done
first. He added the estuary project is also near completion. He noted the
Downtown Forward plan recognizes all the other plans as well.
IV. Known Issues - Jack Pittis
Jac"k Pittis said Tim had described the history of the project downtown. He added
there was an interlocal agreement in place between the port, city, and CTS
related to this project. He noted as a part of the agreement, the city was identified
as the lead agency for project. Jack s"tated the lead for the project and the focus "
of the whole project began to change with the dedication of FTA funds. He said
at this point, the city started to look at this project in a different way
administratively. Jack stated the city began to ask what it could do that would be
best for community as a whole. He stated CTS had managed Federal Transit
Administration (FT A) grant funds before and both have managed construction
projects. Jack stated the city wants to make sure everyone keeps working
together. He mentioned establishing a steering committee, noting the current
agreement talks about an Executive Committee. Jack stated the parties needed
to work with the Downtown Association and address commitments made during
the planning process. Jack noted a lot of things have changed in last 18 months
to cause the city to look at .the project differently. He said the city wanted "a win"
for everyone. He added he"thought the parties could do this by working together.
He concluded by stating all parties can remain whole and build something to
really benefit the community.
Special Joint Public Meetina Minutes
May 26,1998
Page 3
Jack went on to review the known issues. He said the parties would need to
identify who would prepare grant applications for both the Washington State
Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) and FT A grant funding. He said he
thought the group should move forward with establishing a steering committee;
issuing a RFP for preliminary design, scope of work, site selection, cost estimate,
. . and environmental assessment and issuing a RFP for facility design. Jack also'
m~ntioned right of way cost estimates would be needed. He said the parties
. needed to relook at the project. He stated they knew what it wasn't. Jack stated
the city believes there is more of a presence needed for transit at the facility. He
added without this, FTA funds may be in question due to appropriateness of use.
Jack stated the parties would need to make sure all local, state, and federal
requirements are met in the RFP processes. He added the parties would need to
identify who would manage the FT A and TIB portions of the project, and who
would manage the construction of the project. He noted the city would need to
manage the TIB funds. Jack added the parties also needed to discuss operation
and maintenance of the project, along with determining who would be
responsible for future project rehabilitation or reconstruction. He said the parties
needed to identify who would own the property, be the landlord, and collect and
disburse lease proceeds. He added there were a lot of things to work through.
Jack said he was confident transit and city staffs could work together. He noted
the environmental process was key. Again he noted a lot of things had changed
in the last 18 months and added it was now time to go back and take a closer
look at the project.
V. Open Discussion
Dan said the city wanted CTS to reinforce its participation in the project. He
added there would be a number of hurdles to get through. ,He stated both transit
and city staff were here today to hear from the elected officials representing both
agencies and get direction after their discussion. Dan said in the scoping of the
'. project, the officials needed to ask if it makes sense' for CTS to be at the facility.
He added both CTS and the city would need to work through the identified
concerns. Dan said' the local match issue would be' a concern for us. He
concluded by stating this project had been proceeding along without transit
involvement or any dedication of transit funding from CTS. He noted the system
had shifted its focus to the Sequim center.
Gary Braun said unfortunately only three city council members could be present.
He noted t.he city did not have a quorum present to take any action. Craig
Knutson noted if there was some consensus among the members present, city
staff could take this issue to the next city council meeting for discussion. Jack
said staff could take this to the council for action. He added both transit and city
staff wanted to present this info to all the elected officials at one time so this
meeting had been set up. Craig K. noted there were a lot of issues that would
need to be addressed. Phil Kitchel said it was his assumption that if CTS
proceeded with this project it would drop the Sequim project below this in priority.
He asked is this what would happen or would CTS go ahead with both. He asked
if this would be a stretch of staff time. Dan said he thought CTS staff could do

both at the same time. He added both Dave Olexer and Sandie Barnhart were
anxious to add this project to their workload.
Dan said CTS was planning on having the local match for the Sequim project. He
. went on to say that if CTS were to participate in the Gateway project as the lead
agency it would need a local match of about $400,000. Dan stated CTS does not
have local match for this project. With continued emphasis on the Sequim
project, He said CTS will not be able to provide local match from CTS funds. He
mentioned state and federal money could match each other. He said it could be
arranged so that there would be no cost to CTS other than staff time. Phil asked
if a site was identified for transit. Dan said no. He added Larry Williams had
information on a site he wanted to share. Bob Smith stated if both projects could
be done at the same time. he had no problem with it. He added, however, that
because of the Sequim bypass he didn't want to do anything to jeopardize that
project. He said if there was no conflict he had no problems with it. But if there
were any problems he had a problem. Bob questioned "main street" signing, etc.
Tim said this would need to be carefully orchestrated between the Downtown
Forward and "main street" activities. Bob asked if all businesses were in the loop.
Tim replied yes. Dan noted the Port Angeles Downtown Association Board of
Directors would be included in the process. Rich Hsu said he was very excited
about this project. He added he knew there were a lot of details to take care of.
He stated transit and the city needed to consider the region's economy. He
added that he felt this needed to be designed to include all of the Peninsula not
just Port Angeles. Rich said he heard staff say there would be no problems with
CTS staff time to do this. He said he had also heard that funding to support CTS
iilVolvement as lead agency could be a problem. Rich noted that in siting the
center, the parties needed to remember this was a "gateway" project. Dan said
. the city -had always referred to this as a multi-modal project. He added this
concept is strengthened through greater CTS involvement.
Larry referred to a map of the downtown area. He stated in consideration of the
concept of a multi-modal facility, he wanted to suggest an alternate site. Larry
noted the highlighted area between Oak and Lincoln Streets between First and
Second Streets. He noted prime buildable land was being used for parking and
any loss of parking is a barrier to further downtown development. He noted there
was growing concern about the stability of the hillside in the highlighted area. He
said he believed there was a rare opportunity to plan 50 years into the future and
solve a potential disaster in Port Angeles by stabilizing the hillside. He noted
some technical concerns have been considered. He noted there could be a
ground-level parking area with a lid to be even with the top of Maurices. He
stated he felt there were a lot of different possibilities for a multi-modal center in
this area. .
Jack noted the environmental process would give transit and the city an
opportunity to look at this. Both Carole and Phil said they would have to leave for
another meeting. Carole said she liked the idea of cooperation and working
together. She added as to what level of participation she would like to get some

more ideas from the other board members on this. Phil said there were a number
of issues. Dan said staff was basically looking to see if there was consensus on
behalf of the board for staff to go and get that !nformation. Phil went on to say
that with the pressure off Oak Street, he was skeptical there was room for CTS
downtown. Dan said staff would like to start taking a look at the issues if that is
what the transit board and city council wanted. Glenn Wiggins asked if one of the.
strongest reasons to proceed at this time would be to retain the dedicated
funding. Dan said yes. Jack said transit and the city would be looking at moving
this along beginning with the environmental work. He noted construction is not
fully funded yet. He added near the end of the design phase transit and the city
would know what costs would be. He said the parties could then address needs.
Jack noted transit and the city are not looking for authorizations beyond their
abilities to pay at this time,
( .
VI. Decision
Gary stated conceptually he liked what he had heard. He said he thought transit
and the city needed to agree if they wanted to move along in this fashion. (Both
Carole and Phil left the meeting at this time - 3:45 p.m. Carole asked Bob to
preside over the rest of the meeting.) Larry, Gary, and Glenn expressed their
agreement to have transit and the city proceed as described at this time. Dan
said he could attend the city council meeting next week. He noted the cost
estimate for this planning project would be approximately $200,000 to $250,000.
He added both transit and city staff hoped to use TIB funds to match FTA
planning funds. He added he hoped to get enough funding to complete all
necessary steps through completion of construction documents Glenn suggested
before taking this to the council next week that staff put some information
together for council members. He suggested a little more description would be
helpful. Jack said Tim could do this. Rich moved to direct transit staff to
cooperate and participate in this effort on behalf of the Authority Board and
Clallam Transit as described. Gary seconded. Motion carried unanimously. So
ordered.
There being no further business to discuss, the special joint public meeting was
adjourned at 3:50 p.m. So ordered.

MEMORANDUM
DATE:
January 29, 1998
TO:
City Manager, Mayor Braun, and City Council
FROM:
Public Works Department
SUBJECT: Interlocal Agreement With Clallam Transit for Developmen.t of Gateway Project
SUMMARY and RECOMMENDATION: On May 26th, 1998 a joint meeting of the Clallam(Tr.ansit
System and Port Angeles City Council was held regarding the downtown Gateway Project. Tt~e next
phase of the project will include environmental assessment and design, leading to the development of
bid specifications. Staff from both agencies recommended that an interlocal agreement outlining the
roles and responsibilities of the project partners, related to the next phase of the project, be developed.
We recommend Council authorize staff to draft an Interlocal Agreement which will identify the
roles and resDonsibilities related to construction and oDeration of the Gateway Project.
ISSUE: Shall the City Council direct staff to develop an interlocal agreement, that identifies roles and
responsibilities related to construction and operation of the Gateway Project?
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: On May 26th, 1998 a joint meeting of the Clallam Transit System and Port
Angeles City Council was held regarding the downtown Gateway Project. In attendance from the City
were Mayor Braun, City Councilmen Wiggins and Williams, Interim City ManagerlPublic Works Director
Pitlis, City Attorney Knutson, Planning Director Collins, and Project Administrator Smith. The purpose
of the meeting was to discuss the next stePs in development of the Gateway Project. The City Council
and Transit Commission were provided with materials (attached) and staff presentations covering the
history and current status of the project, together with known issues relative to the next phase of
development. The next phase will include an environmental assessment and design of the project
leading to soliciting bids for project construction. Staff from both agencies recommend that an interlocal
agreement between the to agencies be drafted to outline roles and responsibilities related to construction
and operation of the Gateway. An overview ofthe next phase can be broken out into three basic steps,
each suggested for Council and Commission review and acceptance in "stages":
1. Develop and adopt an Int~rlocal Agreement to carry
the project through to construction bid "readiness".
Council and Commission to approve
Interlocal Agreement.
2. Proceed with Environmental Assessment and finalize
Project Pre-Design.
Council and Commission to approve
Pre-Design of Project.
3. Design Project, develop Maintenance and Operations
Plans (M & 0), resolve funding gap, prepare Bid
Specification Documents.
Council and Commission to approve
Design and M&O Plan, and authorize
'going to bid for Construction Phase.
Following staff presentations and discussion among the City Council members and Transit
Commissioners, the Commissioners authorized Transit staff to proceed working with City Staff on the
development of the Interlocal Agreement necessary to proceed with the project. Although there was a
.. consensus among City Council members present, the matter was necessarily deferred to the next
regular ncil Meeting due to lack of a quorum.

Funding Request for Boys and Girls Club
Re:
I .
ISSUE
Should the City Council authorize the expenditure of $15,000 of unbudgeted funds to help establish a
Boys and Girls Club in Mt Angeles View, managed by the Clallam County Housing Authority?
.
BACKGROUNDIINFORMA TION
The Boys and Girls Club is seeking funding of $15,000 from the City of Port Angeles to combine with
existing funds to establish a Boy and Girls Club facility at Mt Angeles View. The Clallam CountY Housing
Authority has agreed to prClvide a facility in Mt Angeles View for the Boys and Girls Club. This Club will
serve an eligible population of an estimated 120 youth from Mt Angeles View in, addition to children
presently attending schools at Jefferson and Franklin ele~entary schools.
The Clallam County Housing Authority and the Boys and Girls Club would' provide the following funding
and services: .
. The facility for housing the Club, estimated market value of $7, 800 annually;
. $876 annually, estimated for utilities for the facility;
. $10,920 over two years to reimburse the City for law enforcement overtime expenses (HUD grant
funded and targeted at drug inteNention)
. $20,000 over two years from the Clallam County Housing Authority budget (HUD grant funded);
. $10,000 grant for the first year from the Boys and Girls Club.
. $15,000 of playground equipment, most of which will be installed near the Boys and Girls Club facility.
The boys and Girls Club requires $35,000 annually to operate the program, primarily for staffing
. expenses. At this, point $20,000 of that money has been made available in addition to the expenses
related to facility and maintenance. -
'.
RECOMMENDATION
The Clallam County Housing Authority Executive Director, Pam Tietz, has a proven track record of
successes. Ms. Tietz has developed highly effective working relationships with law enforcement and
successfully applied' for a grant enhancing i the Police Department's presence and influence in this
neighborhood of Port Angeles. While this request for funding is outside the normal budgeting cycle, it .
comes as a direct result of successful grant applications awarded after the final 1998 budget was
approved.
A Boys and Girls Club in the Mt Angeles View neighborhood would be an effective and significant
enhancement to our Police Department's Community Policing efforts. This program would directly
enhance the numerous positive efforts taken by the Housing Authority management on 6ehalf of hundreds
of children. As such, the Police Department supports the supplementary funding of this Boys and Girls
Club.

SUBJ:
PROPOSED SUBDIVISION ALTERATION - McClain
LOT 1 of SEAMOUNT ESTATES V - Southwest comer of Evansl7th Streets
RECOMMENDA TION/ ACTION:
Following discussion, Council should authorize the applicant to prepare a mylar indicating the
approved alteration and should authorize the Mayor to sign the final mylar indicating the
redesignation of the side lot lines for Lot 1 Seamount Estates V. 'The followi~g findings and
conclusions could be cited in support of that action. .
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
If
As the owner of Lot 1 of the Seamount Estates V subdivision, Mr. Charles McClain designed a
residence per the development standards of the City's RS-7, Residential Single Family zone in which
his property is located. -However, in 1995, the plattor of the subdivision, Mrs. Ardis McWilliams,
designated through the subdivision process that this lot's side yard abutting a street would be twenty
feet (20') rather than the RS-7 standard thiiteen feet (13'), and the interior side yard setback to be
twenty feet (20') rather than the minimum seven feet (7'). Therefore the prepared building drawings
were found to not be in compliance with the subdivision building footprint for the lot, and the
building permit was denied. There is no specific information in the subdi"ision file materials to
indicate why this restriction was placed on Lot 1; however, it would seem that the designer's
reasoning was probably to align the setbacks of Lot 1 with those of Lot 2.
The applicant designed a structure that would observe the twenty foot (20') setback along its side
.yard abutting a street (Evans Avenue) but which will not fit within the extraordinary interior side
yard setback given the angle of the lot toward its front lot line, Seventh Street. It was not until the
building application review that a member ofthe Planning,staff compared the proposed footprint
with the subdivision requirement and found the problem. Mr. McClain asked to alter the subdivision
to revise the footprint such that the required setbacks are those found as standard in the RS- 7 zone.
U57
.$.\'
State law allows for plat alteration without a public hearing in the event that all parties within the
subdivision are notified of the proposal and do not request a public hearing. Mrs. McWilliams is the
owner of the remaining six lots within the subdivision, and was provided notification of the proposal .
on May 18, 1998. We have not received a request for a public hearing or any objection to the
proposal.
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the Mayor to sign a mylar which will revise the
footprint for Lot 1 as proposed, citing the following findings and conclusions in support of that
decision:
Findings:
1. The Seamount Estates Division V subdivision is located between Seventh and Eighth Streets
west of Evans Avenue, in the RS-7, Residential Single Family zone.
2. The Seamount Estates Division V subdivision was finaled on July 6, 1995.
3. Lots 1 and 3 of the seven lot subdivision are comer lots which were platted to observe greater
side yard setbacks abutting a street (Evans Street) than would normally be found in ,an RS-7,
Residential Single Family zone. Additionally, Lot 1 was platted to have a twenty foot (20')
interior side yard setback rather than the standard seven foot (7') required in the RS- 7 zone.
, ,
4. The procedure for alteration ofa subdivision is specified in RCW 58.17.215.
5.
Mr. Charles McClain, the owner of Lot I Seamount Estates Division V, requested alteration
of Lot 1 of the subdivision such that the City's standard RS-7 setback requirements would
apply to the property.
.
6. Property owners within the subdivision were notified of the alteration proposal by mail on
May 18, 1998. No comments have been received as a result of that mailing.
Conclusions'
A. The alteration procedure is in compliance with the requirements of RCW 58.17;
B. The resulting building footprint is in compliance with the City's zoning and subdivision
regulations.

8. The City would like to consult with NMFS regarding the incorporation in the Section 4(d)
rule of the City's Comprehensive Water System plan and other plans that the City needs to
be protected from regulation as a "taking" of salmon.
9. The City may have further comments during Summer 1998 after discussion with other local
and state agencies.
Staff recommends that the Council review the attached letter and contact the City Attorney
with any suggested minor changes. If Councilmembers have concerns with the positions or
policy statements in the letter, then a special meeting could be scheduled later this week. Otherwise,
we would ask that Mayor sign the letter no later than Friday, June 6th so that we can meet the June

serve the Olympic Peninsula's largest concentration of population and economic activity so that
the Peninsula's rural areas will be impacted as little as possible.
II. Including Elwha River in Puget Sound ESU
Port Angeles notes the evidence in NMFS' Technical Memorandum NMFS-NWFSC-35
(February 1998) that the Elwha River chinook salmon is transitional between the Washington
Coast ESU, which is not in danger of extinction, and the Puget Sound ESU, which is proposed
as threatened. While Port Angeles does not, at this time, contest the inclusion of the Elwha
River chinook salmon in the Puget Sound ESU, it reserves the right to do so in the future based
on new scientific_evidence.
Port Angeles is concerned, however, that including the Elwha River chinook salmon in the Puget
Sound ESU could result in unnecessary regulation of government and private actions which
could affect Elwha River chinook based on the status of chinook in other watersheds in Puget
Sound. In particular, Port Angeles is concerned that recovery plans and critical habitat
designations developed for other watersheds in Puget Sound should not apply to the Elwha River
based merely on the ESU boundary. The distinctive biology of Elwha chinook and unique
opportunities for habitat recovery in the Elwha basin (dam removal) call for specific attention to
local plans and strategies for salmon recovery, rather than reliance on a one-size fits all strategy
for all of Puget Sound.
ID. Salmon Restoration Planning for Elwha
A. Elwha River Ecosystem and Fisheries Restoration Act
The 1992 Elwha River Ecosystem and Fisheries Restoration Act, 106 Stat. 3173, provides the
goal of "full restoration of the Elwha River ecosystem and native anadromous fisheries." The
Act authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to acquire the Elwha and Glines Canyon
hydroelectric projects and remove the dams if necessary to meet the goal of full ecosystem and
fisheries restoration. The Elwha Report issued by Interior in January 1994 recommends removal
of both dams while providing for protection of water supplies. The project is currently waiting
for appropriations to accomplish these purposes. Port Angeles has participated in the planning
process for this project, including the Elwha Citizen's Advisory Committee which provided
recommendations to phase the dam removal process in order to provide more certainty for
reintroduction of salmon above Elwha Dam, management of sediment transport, protection of

water quality, and financing of the project.
NMFS should consider integrating this project in its ESA ~4( d) rule because of its benefits to
salmon recovery.
B. Initiation of Local Watershed Planning for Elwha to Morse Basins
The Washington Legislature passed lIB 2514 in 1998 to provide funding and a legal process for
local watershed planning in Washington State. Port Angeles, Clallam County, Lower Elwha
Tribe, Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe and Agnew Irrigation District have cooperated in integrating
this planning proCess for the Elwha-Dungeness watersheds, WRIA 18. A grant application has
been filed to fund the process, including assessment of water resources in the Elwha River and
planning for instream flows, water quality, and identification of projects that would improve
habitat for salmon. We also anticipate the submission of a grant application for specific habitat
restoration projects under lIB 2496, which was sponsored by our 24th District Representative
Jim Buck.
Port Angeles wants to consult with NMFS regarding the adequacy of the lIB 2514 watershed
planning process for adoption as part ofNMFS' ~4(d) rule, in order to protect Port Angeles'
municipal water diversions and uses from the taking prohibition of Section 9 of the ESA, and to
streamline the process for instream flow protection, water quality and habitat projects identified
in the watershed planning process. We would also like to discuss specific habitat improvement
and salmon recovery projects that we are working on with other agencies and groups.
C. Other Salmon Recovery Projects
The City of Port Angeles has worked with other agencies and groups in identifying and
developing several salmon recovery projects. The City has worked with the Washington State
Department ofFish & Wildlife and the Olympic Outdoor Sportsmen on the possibility of
locating an acclimation pond for yearling chinook salmon in Morse Creek. The City has
discussed with the Lower Elwha Tribe its proposal for a stock preservation channel that would
provide significant benefits for several anadromous fish runs in the Elwha River, including
chinook salmon, by using a portion of the City's industrial water right. The City has talked to
the Port of Port Angeles about a proposed shoreline restoration project that would improve
shallow water access for migrating juvenile salmon, including Elwha chinook. Another possible
project is working with the Elwha Tribe, local service clubs, and the Clallam Conservation
District in reducing the channelization of Valley Creek, which flows into Port Angeles Harbor

and, due to a habitat restoration project recently completed by local agencies, now has a newly
restored estuary.
IV. Designation of Critical Habitat
NMFS should consider excluding Port Angeles Harbor and shoreline areas of Ediz Hook from
the designation of critical habitat in marine areas because the benefits of exclusion may
outweigh the benefits of designation. The take prohibition under ESA ~9 already prevents
significant habitat modification or degradation. Designating critical habitat in these marine areas
may be unnecessary and overly burdensome to existing commercial, government, and recreation
uses of these areas. Port Angeles would like to discuss with NMFS potential timber harvest and
other development restrictions within the Elwha River's riparian zone as designated in the March
9 proposed rule.
V. Request for Consultation with NMFS Prior to Final Listing Rule
The City of Port Angeles has a significant interest in securing the recovery of chinook salmon in
the Elwha River, but it must also provide municipal services necessary to the social and
economic vitality of the region. To the maximum extent possible consistent with the ESA and
NMFS regulations and policies, Port Angeles wants to protect future implementation of its
existing plans and programs from regulation as a "taking" of salmon. Port Angeles requests a
consultation with NMFS officials and biologists regarding the incorporation of its adopted plans
and programs in NMFS' ~4(d) rule for the chinook salmon Puget Sound ESU. What
modifications to these plans and programs will be necessary to satisfy NMFS' criteria? These
plans and programs include the lIB 2514 watershed plan described above, the Port Angeles
Comprehensive Land Use Plan, Comprehensive Water System Plan, Stormwater Management
Plan, and Shoreline Master Program.
Port Angeles also requests, pursuant to the NMFS policy at 59 FR 34272, that NMFS identify in
the final listing rule that future actions consistent with the City's plans and programs, including
land use permitting and the continued operation and maintenance of its public water system and
diversions, are not likely to result in violation of ESA ~9.

VI. Integration with State Salmon Strategy and other Local
Government Recovery Plans
Port Angeles will contact the Governor's Salmon Recovery Office and other local government
units in Puget Sound during Summer 1998 to determine whether and how to integrate salmon
recovery planning for the Elwha River with the State Salmon Strategy and other locally adopted
plans. This process may well lead to further comments from Port Angeles to NMFS on the
direction of the local salmon recovery planning efforts.
We look forward ~o meeting with NMFS officials in the near future to discuss our salmon
recovery planning efforts and the protection of our region's social and economic needs in light
of the proposed listing.

COMPREHENSIVE PI,AN AMENDMENT - CPA 98-01 - LaRue, West
8th Street between "(1" and "H" Streets: Request for redesignation of
property currently designated LDR, Low Density Residential, to HDR, High
Density Residential. (Continued from April 22, 1998.)
Senior Planner David Sawyer reviewed the Planning Department's staff report
recommending that the Planning Commission forward a favorable recommendation to the
City Council in support of the amendment. Chair Reed read the public testimony oath and
reminded those present of the need to sign in to present public testimony.
Bill La Rue, 222 W. Park Avenue, represented the application and stated that his family has
owned the property for a couple of decades. Although there are no current plans for
development or offers to purchase the property, the area seems to make sense for high
density residential development given the Park View Villas development that exists directly
across the street. The location is on a bus route and is less than a block away from Shane
Park. The City's Comprehensive Plan portrays the proposed area as being eligible for
redesignation to High Density Residential. An adjoining property owner contacted him for
information regarding the proposal upon receipt of the public notification letter but did not
state objection to the proposal.
Pia.nner Sawyer responded to a question from the Commissioners that property owners
within 300 feet of the site were notified by mail and the site was posted for 15 days prior to
the hearing. This proposal is to change the Comprehensive Plan designation for the site, not
to rezone the property at this time. The application includes three properties that are not
under the La Rue family ownership.
There being no further comments, Chair'Reed closed the public hearing.
Commissioner King moved to recommend approval of the Comprehensive Plan
amendment as proposed citing theJollowing findings and concl~sions:

Conclusions'
Based on the information provided in the May 13, J998, Staff Report for CPA 98-01,
(including all of its attachments), comments and information presented during the public

A. Restricted to the lots south of the 7th/8th Street alley, the amendment should not

C. The proposed area can serve as a transitional use between the heavy traffic of 8th

D The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan, specifically Land Use Element Policies Cl-4
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Souders and passed 5 - 2 with
Commissioners Hewins/and Nutter voting "no". Commissioner Hewins did not vote for
the amendment because there are other residential high density properties that are not
developed in the area, and there is not an apparent need for additional RHD properties at this
time. Commissioner Nutter agreed with Commissioner Hewins and also felt this created an
unnecessary encroachment into the residential area on th:7e of Eighth Street.

DISCUSSION:
.
Environmental Review
The SEP A Responsible Official issued a Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) on May 13, 1998,
regarding this request. This action fulfills the City's responsibility under the State Environmental
Policy ACt.(RCW 43.21 C).
Comprehensive Plan .
,
The Comprehensive Plan establishes the long range goals an4 policies of the City. It is the basis upon
which City officials are to make land use decisions. Arty project proposed in the City must be
consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. 0
Designation
The site's current land use designation is Low Density Residential (LOR) and the applicant's request
is to change this designation to High Density Residential (HDR). The descriptions of each designation
are as follows:
(
Low Density Residential (Up to 9 Units per Net Acre)
.
The Land Use Map identifies three separate categories of residential development.
The first is Low I5enSity Residential which allows an overall residential density ofa
project or property to range up to 9 units per net acre. The high majority of
residentially designated property in the City will be of this' designation. It is
intended for the development of single family homes. ' It also allows for the
development of duplexes and planned resident!al developments in accordance with
the underlying zoning.
.(
High Density Residentitil (Up to 43 Units per Net Acre)
The primary intent of this designation isfor development at a density up to 43 U1,its
per net acre and is intended for areas where a higher concimtrationof residents is
compatible with the SU"oundi1Jg area and uses. tondominiums, apartments, and
planned residential developments are the types of building designs appropriate for
this category. .

Policies
The Comprehensive Plan's Policies have been reviewed with regards to the proposed
application and the following policies appear to be the most relevant to the proposal.
Land Use Element, Goal C, Policy No.1. - Residential land should be developed on the
diStriCt and neighborhood concept. Although such districts may be composed primarily of
residential uses of a uniform density, a healthy,' viable, district should be composed 01
residimtial uses ofvarjing densities which ~ be augmented by subordinate and compatible
uses. Single family mid multifamily homes, parks and open-spaces, Schools, churches, day
care and residential services, home occupations, and district, shopping areas are all
legitimate components of district development and enhancement. A neighborhood should
be primarily composed of low, medium, or high density housing.
The proposed amendment extends the existing high density neighborhood across 8th Street
to the north for one half block into an area that is primarily composed of single-family
residences. Restricted to the lots south of the 7th/8th Street alley, the amendment should not
change the overall character of the low-density neighborhood to the north.
Land Use Element, Goal C, Policy No.2. Medium and high density housing should be
located in areas of the community most suitable for such uses, based on existing services,
public facilities, and transportation.
Urban services which are in place to serve the existing high-density development on the south
side 'Of 8th Street are sufficient to serve'the proposed area.
I
Land Use Element, Goal 4 Policy No. 3. Medium and high density housing should ~e served
, ,by arterial streets of sufficient size in order to satisfy traffic demand and to les~en
. '
neighborhood traffic congestion. .
Eighth Street is identified in the Transportation Element as a Collector Arterial.
Land Use Element, Goal C, Policy No.4. Medium and high density housing could be a .
transitional use between different land uses, provided such other uses would not adversely
impact the residential nature of the housing. .
The proposed area can serve as a transitional use between the heavy traffic of 8th' Street and
the low-density neighborhood to the no~.
As noted, the proposed amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's Land Use
Element Policies Cf-4.

MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT - MCA 98-01
Amendment to the City's Shoreline Permit Process
RECOMMEND A TION/ ACTION:
Following the scheduled public hearing. staff recommends the City Council concur with the
recommendation of the Planning Commission to deny the p'roposed Code amendment. Council
should cite the findings and conclusions noted by the Planning Commission which are attached to
this memorandum.
BACKGROTIND/SUMMARY:
,
The Planning Commission recently considered a proposal by members of the Planning Commission
to proce~s shoreline permit applications administatively. Permits are currently processed under the
guidelines of the City's Shoreline Master Program which was adopted in 1995. The proposal was
made in an effort to accelerate the pernlit process. Shoreline permit applications may not be acted
upon during the 21-day appeal period following the local action, which is the City's lerighthiest
permit application time period due to extraordinary state public notification requirements.
The Planning Commission discussed the proposal at both its April 22nd and May 13th meetings,
following which, although public testimony was presented in favor of the proposal, the Commission
voted 6 - 1 to deny the amendment. Staff will be available for comment and questions.

Page 10
MUNICIPAl, CODE AMENDMENT - MCA 98-01 - CITY OF PORT
ANGELES, City wide: A proposal to amend Chapter 15 (Environment) of
the Port Angeles Municipal Code to process shoreline substantial
development permits administratively. (Continued from April 22, 1998.)
Commissioner Souders noted for the record that although she was not present at the previous
meeting, she had read the minutes of that meeting and was prepared to act on this issue.
. ;
Director Collins reviewed staffs memorandum.
Commissioner Souders noted that if the amendment is approved, the City Planning Director
would become not only the City'sSEPA Responsible Official, which he is at present, but
would then also be the final authority on shoreline permit application. She believes more
people should be involved in decisions on shoreline permits.
The Commissioners discussed the drawbacks to the proposal which would allow a public
hearing only by appeal to the City Council rather than during the application process.
Commissioner Craver felt s~ongly that actions on shoreline permit applications should be
made only after a public hearing. The proposal would result in a decision being rendered
outside of a public hearing, and, if an appeal is filed by an interested party, a public hearing
would then be held on that appeal by the City Council.
In response to Commissioner Ziakin, Chair Reed explained the history of the relatively
recent development and adoption of the City's Shoreline Master Program and that its
regulations with regard to permit activities and uses are very specific. Public testimony is
rarely given nor is there generally ever anyone other than the applicant to speak to, or object
to, an application request. Decisions are largely based upon the proposal's compliance with
the Master Program. Under the current proposal, appeals of decisions would be heard by the
City Council through a public hearing process in the event someone disagreed with a
decision. Currently, appeals would be heard through a closed record hearing only. with no
public hearing at the City Council. -
Commissioner Ziakin noted that although. he re~lizes the amendment is in an attempt to .
hasten the lenghty shoreline permit application process, in trying to accomplish this end we
are taking away the right to be heard to a certain degree, except by appeal of a deci~ion.
Director Collins noted t~at there is a 30-day public comment period prior to any decision
possibility in which staff will be reviewing the application with anyone who chooses to
question anything about the process and who wishes:to add their thoughts and concerns to
the file. The same review process would be . followed with the staff making a
recommendation the same as to the Planning Commission, but to the Director. Beyond that,
anyone aggrieved by the decision could appeal to the City Council and be-heard at a public
hearing.
Director Collins elaborated in response to Commissioner Ziakin that the types of shoreline
uses that would fall under the permitting authority would range from minor improvements
to existing facilities to a major mill proposal on the water.
The Commission continued to discuss their concerns regarding the appeal process.

Commissioner Craver stated that as the City's waterfront/shoreline areas are one of its major
resources, she would rather the Planriing Commission act on shoreline permit applications .
than those decisions being made by one individual.
Commissioner King agreed that it is important to allow the public an opportunity to speak
and to contribute to shoreline issues; however, it is also important to hasten application
processes when possible.
Commissioner Ziakin stated that the public's past indifference or lack of involvement is not
a valid reason to cut them off from future involvement. ( .
Commissioner Ziakin moved to retain the current processing procedure citing the
following findings and conclusions:
Findings:
1. The City of Port Angeles adopted, and the State of Washington approved, a revised
Shoreline Master Program, which is consistent with the City'~ Comprehensive Plan,
in 1995 that contains standards under which development within shoreline areas may

7. The City's Municipal Code allows for appeal of administrative actions to the City
Council on an open record basis.
Conclusion:
A. Applicants and the public benefit from an open public hearing process.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Craver, and passed 6 - 1. Commissioner
Reed voted against the motion as decisions regarding shoreline permit applications are .
strictly prescribed in the City's Shoreline Master Program with appeal of those actions to the
City Council at a public hearing.

Municipal Code Amendment - MCA 98-01
Shoreline Substantial Development Permit Amendment
At your February 25, 1998, meeting, discussion took place regarding whether the City should consider
processing Shoreline Substantial Development Permit (SMA) applications administratively. SMAs
are processed per the City's Shoreline Master Program which provides very specific standards for
those decisions. The proposal to administratively process these applications would probably result
in less lead time for applicants particularly since following a decision there is a 21-day appeal period
at the state level. Appeals would still be possible to the City Council.
A public hearing has been scheduled for the proposed change to the Municipal Code. The material
previously sent to you and a draft ordinance is attached for your consideration.
Fol/owing the public hearing, the Planning Department recommends the Planning Commission move
to recommend the City Council adopt the attached ordinance. The fol/owingfindings and conclusions
"may b~cited in support of that action:
Findings;
1. The City of Port Angeles adopted a Shoreline Master Program in May, 1995, which contains
standards under which development within shoreline areas may occur:
2. Shoreline Substantial Development Permits (SMA) have been processed by the Planning
Commission which meets.twice a month.
3. Shoreline Substantial Development Permit applications require twice the public notification
period of any other application processed by the City as state statutes require a notification
period of 30 days prior to a public hearing which may not be scheduled for an additional two
weeks given the Planning Commission's meeting schedule.
4.
There is a 21-day appeal period at the state level during which no work may be commenced

MEMORANDUM
DATE:
February 25, 1998
TO:
"
Planning Commission
FROM:
Planning Department"
RE:
Shoreline Permit Administrator Process
ISSUE: Should the City of Port Angeles make shoreline permits administratively rather than quasi-
judicially?
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
,~
Planning Commission Chair Tim German asked that the staff prepare a revision to the Shoreline
procedures that make the shoreline permit process faster for applicants through administrative
approval. As the regulatory process has become more and more encumbered by new' requirements,
the City has assigned certain decisions to an administrative rather than quasi-judicial process. For
example, a number of conditional use permits are now handled administratively with appeals to a
quasi-judicial appeal to the City Council. All environmental regulations"except shoreline permits,
are decided administratively, including wetland permits, environmentally sensitive area approvals, and',
SEP A determinations. With the adoption of the new Shoreline Master Program consistent with the
City's Comprehensive Plan, the permit process has become even more administratively oriented ~
before, and nearly all requirements and conditions are a direct result of specific rules and requirements
that have been established through the Shoreline Master Program and standard conditions from
similar approved shoreline permits.
Attached are copies of RCW 90.58.140 which regulate how shoreline substantial development
permits are administered by local government. It is optional for cities to use or not use a quasi-
judicial process and public hearing in approving shoreline pe~ts., There are three kinds of shoreline
permits: substantial development permits,} conditional use permits, and variance permits. The latter
two kinds of shoreline permits are not approved by the City but only recommend~ for approval to
the Department of Ecology, which must make the final permit decision.
The quasi-judicial process makes the applicant wait a longer time than the administrative review
process and must be scheduled with pub~c hearing notice for the one or tWo monthly meetings of the
Planning Commission. As a result the quasi-judicial process can take several weeks or more time for
, decisions to be made on shoreline permits by the City.

.
ACTIONIRECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Department recommends that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council
a change.in the shoreline pennit approval from a quasi-judicial to an administrative process, ret~ng
an appeal to the City Council, which would now become an open record appeal with a public hearing
befQre the' City Council rather than a c1oserecord appeal without a pu~lic hearing, citing the
following findings and conchisions.
Findings
1. The City of Port Angeles adopted and the, State of Washington approved a revised Shoreline
Master Program, which is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, in 1995.
2. The City and State passed new requirements limiting certain permits to one open record
public hearing process.
3.
In approving shoreline pennits the City frequently uses requirements from the 1995 Shoreline
Master Program and from previous shoreline permits that are similar in nature.
4.
Scheduling a public hearing before the Planning Commission on shoreline permit applications
requires additional time in many caSes, since the Planning Commission usually meets only
once or twice a month.
.0
5. Appeals of shoreline permit decisions by the Planning Commission must go to the City
Council on a closed record basis.
Conclusions
1. Shoreline permit applications could be processed faster administratively by a Shoreline
Administrator than quasi-judicially by the Planning Commission.
2. The shoreline permit approval in many instances follows specified requirements already
established by the Shoreline Master Program and previous shQreline pennits.
3. Public interest would benefit from a faster permit process and an open record appeal to the
City Council.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Board member Turner moved to approve the February 2, 1998, minutes as submitted. The
motion was seconded by Board member Lowman and passed unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
VARIANCE REQUEST - VAR 98-02 - SUNSET WIRE ROPE, 518
Marine Drive: Request for a decrease in the minimum side yard setback from
15' to 7', and an increase from 6' to 10' in the maximum height for a fence on
a property line in the IL, Industrial Light zone. .
Senior Planner David Sawyer reviewed the Planning Department's report recommending
approval of the requested variance. Vice Chair Meyer opened the public hearing.
Gene Unger, 1401 West 7th Street, a licensed professional engineer spoke in favor of the
application. He explained the efforts to assist Sunset Wire Rope inCa rebuild of the site
following the massive 1996-97 winter storm damage. The applicant's insurance provider is
requiring the applicant to provide an 8' fence due to previous vandalism on ~e site. The new
fence is in the same location where an old fence existed that did not comply with. Zoning
Code requirements. However, due to the extent of the site rebuild, the applicant is required
to observe current setback requirements. The applicant is requesting that the new fence
height be allowed to be in the same location and approximately at the same height (10') as
the previous fence, and that a storage structure be allowed to exist 7' from a side yard rather
than the 15' that is required. The structure and fence would maintain approximately the
same distance from the side yard and height that existed prior to demolition. Approval of
the variance will allow the site.to be in compliance with insurance company requirements
095.

for security, and will provide a light industrial site that is easily accessed by the public. .
In response to Board member Lowman, Mr. Unger answered that he is not certain how much
in excess of 8' the original fence was, but he has talked to people who stated that it was in
excess of 8'. He knew of no other fence, other than the City Light Pole Yard, in an industrial
district that is greater than 6', and is located on a property line.
G~ry Reidel, 710 Del Guzzi Drive, Sunset Wire Rope Manager, noted that adjoining property
owners have indicated approval of the request. He added that a major reason behind the
request for the increase in fence height is largely for security reason&. A 6' fence can easily
be scaled and vandalized. The site contains cylinders of gas such as nitrous oxide and small
equipment such as lawn mowers, that can, and have been, stolen.
Bill Hermann, 2477 Blue Mountain Road, owner of Sunset Wire Rope, feels strongly that
a fence in excess of6' is required for the,security an? general safety of the site. The use will
not cause circulation concerns and will resemble the previous outdoor storage footprint.
Shara Smith, 2941 Highway 101 East, owns the abutting property to the west. The entire
rebuild of the site has added greatly to the area and the City. She concurred that the fence
being replaced was greater than 6' in height, but she wasn't sure of the actual height. She
encouraged approval of the reduced setback and increased height request.
There being no further comment, Vice Chair Meyer closed the public hearing.
.
Mr. Sawyer answered questions regarding the non conforming status of the pre-existing
fence and that it was the Planning Directo~'s decision that the new fence needs a variance to
be constructed as proposed and not allowed as a non conforming structure. Staff recognizes
that there is a security need for an over height fence at this s.ite. An amendment to the
Zoning Ordinance may be in order to allow for fences higher than 6' in industrial areas, given
the nature of the uses that occur in industrial areas.
Board member Turner moved to approve the requested variances as proposed with the
following findings and conclusions:
Condition:
1. A 12.5' clearance shall be required between the storage structure and any City Light
equipment or structure.
Findings:
Based on the information provided in the Planning Department staff report dated May 4, \
1998. for V AR 98-02 including all of its attachments, comments and information presented
during the public hearing, the Board of Adjustment discussion and deliberation, and the
above listed condition of approval, the CitY of Port Angeles,Board of Adjustment hereby .

Construction of the proposed 10' high fence has been completed.

18. All decisions and orders of the Board shall be final and conclusive, unless, within ten
days from the date of action, the original applicant or an adverse party makes
application to the Superior Court of the County for a writ of certiorari, a writ of
prohibition, or a writ of rriandamus.' .
19. There was a pre-existing non conforming fence at the proposed location.
Conclusions:
Based on the information provided in the Planning'Department staff report dated May 4,
1998, for V AR 98-02 including all of its attachments, comments and information presented
during the public hearing, the Board of Adjustment discussion and deliberation, and the
above listed condition of approval, and findings of fact, the City of Port Angeles Board of
Adjustment hereby concludes that:
A. The approval of the proposed variance would not be a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitation upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and zone
in which the property on behalf of which the application was filed is located.
B.
There is a special circumstance of topography associated with the property which
deprives the property owners of rights and privileges permitted to other properties in
the vicinity and zone in which it is located. The need for an area preserved for
loading and materials staging combined with the presence of the marine bluff
restricts the buildable area of the property for its permitted use.
C. The proposed variance as conditioned, is unlikely to cause adverse impacts to the
public safety and welfare.
The motion was seconded by Board member Lowman and passed 3 - o. .

UTILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Port Angeles, Washington
May 11, 1998
l
Call to Order:
Chairman Doyle called the meeting to order at 3 :00 p.m.
Il Roll Call:
Draft
Members Present:
Councilmen Campbell, Doyle, and Williams, Bill Myers and Joe
Michalczik.
Members Absent:
None.
Staff Present:
C. Knutson, 1. Pittis, B. Titus, B. Collins, and C. Hagar.
III Approval of Minutes:
Councilman Williams moved to approve the minutes of the April 13, 1998, meeting.
Councilman Campbell seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
IV. Discussion Items:
A. Morse Creek Fis~ Enhancement Project
\
Public Works Director Pittis stated this was for information only.. He reviewed the memo and
informed the Committee that Attorney Knutson had spent some time with Dick Goin, a project
advocate, discussing this issue. Discussion followed, and Chairman Doyle asked Attorney Knutson
for additional input on the issue. Attorney Knutson stated his discussion with Mr. Goin centered
mostly around the Elwha River and how the Endangered Species Act applies to that. The proposed
listing for endangered species includes what is called an Evolutionarily Sensitive Unit (ESU). The
discussion revolved around whether the Elwha River Chinook should be included in the listing for
the Puget Sound ESU. The City must submit comments to the National Marine Fisheries Service
regarding how it would deal with this proposed listing if it passes and whether the Elwha Chinook
should be included with the Puget Sound Chinook.
Attorney Knutson thought that the City could receive credit with Federal and State regulators for
projects such as the Morse Creek fish enhancement/acclimation pond project as well as the Elwha
River stock preservation channel project that has been proposed by the Elwha S 'Klallam Tribe. He
also stated that the State legislature has appropriated. several funding sources for these kinds of
projects so that there may be funding through a grant application to the State.

.
Director Pittis stated there are two reasons to consider this project, to aid the City in the ESU issue
and because it's part of our community and the sport fishery is important to us. Attorney Knutson
_stated a third reason is because it could tip the balance as to whether the Morse Creek Hydro project
is economically viable to continue. Deputy Director Titus concurred that the fish enhancement
project could result in.the hydro project being allowed to operate for several more months each year,
which would increase is' profitability. Discussion followed, and Director Pittis and Attorney Knutson
responded to questions and provided clarification.
No action was taken.
B. Landlocked Electrical Facilities
Deputy Director Titus reviewed the information contained in the packet and the history of this issue.
He stated he is not asking for any action on this item at this time; however, there are several property
owners in the Southwood area anxious to have their power lines run underground. These owners
have already contacted the City Manager's office and will probably be contacting Council members
also. Stafffelt it imperative to give the Council all the information on this issue including total cost,
before asking for any decision. Total cost for. all such large conversion projects is still being
calculated, and staffwill return to the Committee when all the information is in hand. Discussion
followed.
.
Deputy Director Titus reminded the Committee that a recent change to the City's line extension
policy did away with the $1000 credit toward the cost of changing from overhead to underground
line conversion. It is estimated that the cost of converting just the Southwood area (36 homes) will
be $130,000. This has not been budgeted for 1997. Director Pittis'stated customers are being
informed that the conversion will not take place this year. If this and other landlocked areas are
convert~d, it is possible that the total cost would be $500,000. .
. .
Councilman Campbell felt that it was unfair to ask all rate payers to' share in the cost of something
that benefits only a few people. Discussion followed regarding the obligation of the home owners
vs. rate payers to pay this expense and the utility easements for this area. Joe Michalczik stated
undergrounding the utilities was an advantage to the property o~ers and agreed with Councilman
Campbell that the responsibility for paying should lie with the owner. He felt giving a discount or
rebate was reasonable, but performing this service for free was not.
Bill Myers spoke in defense of the homeowners, as they are the victims of a bad plat. Further
discussion followed regarding maintaining of easements and the cost involved. Councilman Campbell
felt a compromise could be arrived at which would be fair to rate payers as well as 'property owners.
Mr. Myers stated that was the reason the City was absorbing $1000 of the cost involved in
undergrounding the utilities to these areas. It allowed for sharing the cost of the change over.
Director Pittis stated this item would be returned to a future Committee meeting after staff has
gathered all the information regarding total cost, benefits to the utility and benefits to the customers. .

B. Information on HB2831 (Unbundling)
Deputy Director Titus reviewed the information contained in the packet. Mr. Titus explained that
small electric co-ops and PUD's were submitting their information together, thereby giving an
average figure rather than having individual responses. Discussion followed, and Deputy Director
Titus responded to questions' posed by the Coriunittee. Councilman Campbell. felt this information
would be useful to develop, and once gathered, a decision can be made on how to disseminate it.
. .
Following further discussion and clarification, Dep~ty Director Titus stated staff would gather the
information and attempt to have it ready for UAC and Council prior to the end of the year. At that
time, staff could see what groupings might be placed together. The UAC and Council may be more
comfortable adding our data to another group's information.
Councilman CampbeU moved to recommend that the City Council approve the study, develop
the information, but not be concerned with deadlines of submittal. Use of the information can
be decided at a later date. Bill Myers seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.

D. Marine Bluff Issues
This item was deferred to the next meeting.
.
Jt: Information Only Items
A. Washington, D.C. visit by Public Power Representatives.
No disclissio~, no action.
VI. Late Items
A. Jefferson County Disposal Request
Director Pittis stated he had sent a letter to Jefferson County counter offering $21.17 per ton with
a 50/50 split of transportation savings. He received a reply stating Jefferson County is doing an RFP
for long hauling and would like to expl9re the possibility of a joint long haul- agreement after closure
of the Port Angeles landfill. Also in that letter, Jefferson County made a counter offer of $21.17 per
ton and 40% of transportation savings. It was estimated that 40% of the transportation savings
would be $5.94; therefore, Jefferson County would pay $27.11 per ton to use the landfill. This
proposal is conditional upon approval of the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners. Discussion
followed. Joe Michalczik was uncomfortable charging Jefferson County one third the amount we
charge City residents. Councilman Campbell explained that Jefferson County would be paying the
$1 million shortfall for landfill closure. Director Pittis informed the' Committee that this contract
. would be of benefit to the City through the year 2000; it would be less advantageous after that. Mr.

Michalczik suggested the contract end in the 2000, then renegotiate. Lengthy discussion followed;
no action was taken.
