CITY COUNCIL MEMO

To:
Mayor Braun and City Council
FROM:
Brad Collins, Planning Department
SUBJEcr:
Joint meeting with Lower Elwha Tnoal Nation
SUMMARY I RECOMMENDATIONS: The purpose of the joint meeting between the two Councils is
to start a process for both jurisdictions to work together on water resources issues. This meeting will
allow Council members to become acquainted and develop common ground on critical issues such
as dam removal and water supply. In an effort to commence this process, at the August 18 meeting
City Council modified its policy on Elwha dam removal which had been neutral to one of support for
dam removal. Mayor Braun will present to Tribal Chair Hepfer a copy of the attached letter from the
City to our Congressional delegation stating the City's support for Elwha dam removal and allocation
of federal funding.
BACKGROUND I ANALYSIS:
The Lower Elwha Tnoe and the City of Port Angeles are two of the five local jurisdictions that are
acting as the Lead Agency for a Water Resources Inventory Area 18 grant from the State of
Washington. The $250,000 grant funds Phase 1 organization and partially funds Phase 2 water
quantity analysis for WRIA 18, which includes both the Dungeness and Elwha River Basins. The
Tribe and the City have agreed to staff the Planning Team for the Elwha-Morse Planning Team much
in the same way the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe and Clallam County have been assisting the
Dungeness River Management Team, which under WRIA 18 will be the Dungeness Planning Team.

Re: Salmon Funding
Dear Senator Gorton, Senator Murray, and Congressman Dicks:
The City of Port Angeles needs your help in providing federal funding for the City's efforts to
deal with the National Marine Fisheries Service's proposed listing ofPuget Sound chinook
salmon as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. The City is already actively
involved with other local governments in using state grant funds as well as City funds for
watershed planning and habitat restoration measures. So far, however, state funding has not
been sufficient to meet the ((mandate" that the federal government is placing on us. From all
accounts, NMFS will list the Puget Sound chinook as a threatened species some time in 1999.
As you are undoubtedly aware, preparing for and dealing with this eventuality has extremely far-
reaching ramifications for the City of Port Angeles, as well as other local governments in your
jurisdiction. As you may also recall, the City has been actively involved in efforts to protect its
water supply during the Elwha Dam removal legislative and environmental review processes.
Since there is an obvious correlation between Elwha Dam removal and protection of Elwha
chinook salmon, our request to you for federal funding is essentially a three-pronged request.
I. First, we would like you to support appropriation of funds to complete the. purchase of the
dams and the construction of the necessary domestic and industrial water protection measures,
which would then be followed by dam removal.
~
August 25, 1998
Page 2
2. Second, we would like you to support federal funding of watershed planning and habitat
restoration measures for local governments responding to NMFS' Puget Sound chinook salmon
listing.
3. Third, we would like you to support funding for federal agencies such as NMFS itself so they
have sufficient manpower to work with local governments in responding appropriately to the
Puget Sound chinook salmon listing.
Hopefully, if the above-described funding assistance is provided by the federal government, it
will turn what has essentially been an ((unfunded mandate" into a situation that will protect fish
and water resources while providing regulatory certainty for local governments such as Port
Angeles.
Thank you very much for considering our request. As always, Port Angeles greatly appreciates
the attention that you give to matters that affect the North Olympic Peninsula.
Very truly yours,
q~~

proposed positions o~ Makah whaling.
The United States has also met privately with the Makah
Tribe" anti-whaling groups, and other interested parties to
discuss this issue. Written comments have been received
concerning the u.s. approach to Makah whaling from a number of
non-governmental organizations, particularly those strongly
opposed to Makah whaling, and from individuals from around the
wortd.
In addition, the United States has sought a discussion of
the Makah whaling tradition at both the 1995 and 1996 Annual
Meetings of the lwC. The 1996 discussion was particularly
thorough.
1.5 Significant issues
A'harvest of gray whales by the Makah Tribe would be an
extremely contentious event. People are concerned that Makah
whaling would have far-reaching consequences on whaling in
general. At the same time, a decision ~ to support the Makah's
efforts to continue its whaling tradition would also be
contentious, as this would be perceived as having similarly far-
reaching consequences for Indian treaty righcs.
Based on written and oral comments received over the past
two years, the following issues have bee~ identified about
potential impacts of a decision by the U. S. ,Government to support
the Makah Tribe in its effort to continue its whaling tradition:
~ 1":"'"5.1 Effects of Maltah-wnaring on flie g.raY-=~ha.J:e"::::;toclt:
Of primary concern for this analysis is whether there is a
possible adverse impact on the gray whale stock that could be
caused by the proposed harvest of up to five gray whales per
year. Based on experience in other aboriginal subsistence hunts,
a concern is that not every gray whale struck will be landed. ,
The United States believes that the Makah should stri~e to
improve the efficiency of their hunt during the hunt's initial
five-year duration; the Makah have agreed to limit the numbe~ of
strikes (ten in 1998, nine in 1999, eight in 2000, and seven in
2001 and 2002) to land the five gray whales per year that the
Tribe has requested. Consequently, 'this EA will consider the
~
---~---.---~---- ----------
,.". .~.~.-:-:--:..-_.,~---_._--_..-
,
'.
cumulative impact of the removal or injury of a total of 41 gra~
whales (the sum of the strikes) from the population over five
years.
Other concerns have been expressed that whaling could drive
gray whales from needed habitats. The possible effects of
additional whaling by other tribes will, also be addressed.
I~__5~2:!E-f-fect'lls-o"'il"oth-er spec-ies.
NMFS has reviewed a list of other marine mammal species and
seabirds and other birds found in the Sanctuary (see Appendix
6.3) to determine whether a take of five whales per year would
have an adverse impact on any of these species. Some commenters
opined that the Makah might also start~whaling on other species,
including orca (which are not endangered) and asked for an
assessment of that action.
1.5.3 Effects on whale watching
The focus of the whale watching industry in the Northwest is
on killer whales in the vicinity of the San Juan Islands. In
Washington State, coastal gray whale watching excursions occur
during the northbound migration off Westport, primarily during
the months of March and April~ There are coastal operations
watching gray whales in California, Oregon,and in Mexico and
Canada (Vancouver Island).
1.5.4 Effects on the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary
Makah whaling would most likely take place inside the
boundaries of the Sanctuary. While national marine sanctuaries
are not. exclusionary areas, there is a concern that whaling in
the Sanctuary will have a negative impact on the image of the
Sanctuary and on the National Marine Sanctuary program.
1.5.5 Effects on other potential whaling operations
Many concerns have been expressed that Makah whaling would
~ead to additional whaling by other groups. Indeed, this may.be
the biggest concern about Makah whaling. Many people expressed
the view that whaling by the Makah could lead to a resumption of
whaling by other tribes, especially those living in British

CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING
We are the United States of America. We represent the continent of North American citizens,
asking, as friends, again, save the whales.
Please!
Some rights are wrong! We are sony that our views, opinions and beliefs are possibly not along
the same lines as yours. We thought, as all peoples of Mother Earth, it was bred into us to respect our
mothers, and not to use and use until there is no mother to love. We need to come to terms - so that our
future generations will be able to see and experience whales.
The whaling world is waiting for the kill, riot the hunt. This is all for political and fmancial gain.
Not me. Hear me, this is for the future generations of the children of Mother Earth, of which the
whales are too.
We hope, with respect and friendship, and in a peaceful manner, to stop this action. The world
will see and praise us all if we stop this action.
The cultural faith in which we have brought up our children will be lost if we do not stop this
action.
J71.YIO
We wilIlstop this crime against the whales. All Mother Earth's children and their future genera-
tions will include whales which will be safe from all abusers and users.
. .
Please! Help us stop thIS. Help us save the whales.
PLEASE CONTACT US IF YOU
HAVE A CHANGE OF WHALE HEART

BACKGROUND I ANALYSIS: This project replaced the old 1914 watermains with new ductile iron
watermains in a downto~ loop consisting of Railroad Avenue, Lincoln Street, First street and Oak
Str.eet. The pipe size was also increased in the vicinity of the future development site west of Oak
;011 _ ' 1\ J
Street and north of Front Street to provide better fire flow. The old hollow concrete sidewalks were
removed and as the watermain installation progressed they were replaced with new decorative
concrete pavers and modifications were made to the downtown fountain area. Roadway cuts for
watermain inStallation were restored by the installation of concrete paver crosswalks. The original
contract amount for this project was" $2,055,487.45 including sales tax. The final project cost (tax
included) was $2,628,217.46. Funding for the project was the Water Utility and two"loans of
$750,000 and $240,000 from the Public Works Trust Fund. The areas of cost overrun are as shown

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
August 18, 1998
restoratic:>,n.<1lP!; funding would help to fill in gaps where the State doesn't provide the
necessary ftirldirig. Attorney KriutSon swnmarized funding measures made a part of HB
2514, as well as the Buck bill, and he noted additional funding would be essential. It is
understood that the Congressional delegation has already introduced legislation in this
regard, so the letter would serve as support for what they are already doing. The third area
of funding suggested has to do with support for NMFS and other agencies to ensure they
have sufficient staff to provide support to our effort. It is important that the City's needs in
terms of water supply, as well as the need to change regulations to satisfy the Federal
Government, are being met in the interest of protection of resources. In that there is a
commitment to do all that is, necessary to protect the resources, Attorney Kriutson
emphasized the fact that NMFS must be involved throughout the process to ensure that the
right actions are being taken. Attorney Kriutson continued that the draft letter to the NMFS
would request assistance in resolving specific issues relative to Port Angeles. He advised
the Council that there was no need to endorse the letter to NMFS at this particular meeting.
Councilman Campbell felt the letters to be entirely appropriate, as they cover the range of
subjects needing to be addressed. He felt it timely for the Council to become comfortable
with the idea that Elwha River restoration through dam removal will be a critical element
in watershed planning for that river. StatIhas already learned that the Lower Elwha Tribe
has essentially one, major requirement -- that of dam removal for purposes of fish
restoration, which is a vital element ofWRIA planning. Councilman Campbell felt that one
of the ways the City could positively help itself would be to openly and actively support the
concept of Elwha fish restoration through dam removal. He emphasized that such
restoration is a fimdamental justification for dam removal and, further, he noted that Federal
law does not provide for any other outcome to the Elwha hydro projects beyond dam
acquisition and removal. Councilman Campbell felt that any change to F ederallaw would
be virtually impossible to achieve. Other obvioU!; benefits to the City would be a quid pro
quo from other agencies and the Tribe to assure the City preserves its existing water rights
on the Elwha River and Morse Creek.
Councilman Campbell continued that, given the situation in Congress, it is critical that the
City take action very quickly by forwarding the letter to the legislators on an immediate
basis. Another suggestion made by Councilman Campbell was to schedule a meeting with
Congressman Dicks to solicit his assistance by not allowing another legislative session to
pass by without appropriate funding for the acquisition of the Elwha, dam removal, and
associated fish restoration efforts. Another important matter to be addressed on an
immediate basis would be to establish a joint meeting between the Council and the Elwha
Tribal Council in order for the City to support the concept of watershed planning in WRIA
18 in accordance with the interlocal agreement. This would provide an opportunity to
explore issues and opportunities. Director Collins advised the Council that the Tribe has
suggested a meeting date of September I, either at 5:30 p.m. or 8:30 p.m. He indicated the
Tribe is somewhat skeptical of the State and the WRIA 18 process, as their primary faith
is in the notion of dam removal. The Tribe has expressed a willingness to work with the
City on dam removal, as long as the City commits to support that endeavor. Because of the
planned NMFS listing in March of 1999, Director Collins felt it to be essential that the City
move in a positive direction to protect the water supply by supporting dam removal for
purposes of fish restoration. Director Collins indicated the Tribe has suggested a neutral
site for this proposed meeting, such as the new Library.
Mayor Braun asked for Council's input regarding the September I meeting with the Elwha
Tribal Council. The Council members supported the idea of the meeting at the Library, and
statI will follow-up to confirm the details.
Councilman Hulett inquired as to the involvement of the National Marine Sanctuary and
how it may relate to this issue at hand. Director Collins responded that the Sanctuary is
related through NMFS, but the issues are totally different. After further limited discU!;sion,
Councilman CampbeU moved to authorize the Mayor to sign the August 11, 1998,
letter to Senaton Gorton and Murray and Congressman Dicks. The motion was

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
August 18, 1998
Chuck ()\\'ens' 542 SchmidtR~.,Joyce, addressed the Council on the, matter of the
scheduled ~Hltie hunt by theMiikiih Tribe. He read into the record a statement which
reflected his concerns with the hunt and the apathetic silence of the citizens and leaders on
the Peninsula Mr. Owens was distressed that the community appeared to be unwilling to
take a stand on the matter, especially in view of the fact that civic and private organizations
worldwide have condemned the whale hunt.
I
Don Munson, 625 E. 8th Street, also read into the record a statement on the whale hunt.
Mr. Munson expressed sadness with the public's response tothe Makah whale kill. He
questioned why no one seemed to know what is going on and, further, he expressed a desire
to schedule his own public forum so that opinions could be stated. Mr. Munson indicated
that cities along the Oregon coast have stated their opposition, and he was distressed that
no such opposition has been expressed closer to home. He indicated that a wounded whale
could quite possibly wash up on Hollywood Beach or Ediz Hook, and he was concerned
with the associated impact on tourism trade. Mr. Munson asked for the Council's help to
stop the crime against whales.
Mr. Munson distributed a copy of a resolution from the City of Depoe Bay, Oregon,
decrying the negative impact on whale watching and tourism industries along the west
coast. Further, Mr. Munson read into the record a letter from Clallam County
Commissioner Ireland which set forth a statement oflegality on the matter of the whale
hunt The letter indicated the County did not have an effective role in addressing the issue,
but it did commit to co-sponsorship of a public forum on the matter if the City of Port
Angeles would agree to sponsorship.
Mayor Braun asked for the specific dates of the hunt to which Mr. Munson responded
October 18-19, 1998. Attorney Knutson, responding to an inquiry from the Mayor,
indicated that unless a Councilmember feels knowledgeable enough to discuss the matter
at this meeting, the Council may ask staff to place this matter on the September 1 agenda
if it so desires.
Mr. Munson wanted to know the City's position on the whale hunt. Mr. Owens returned
to the podium and asked why the City Council hasn't already discussed the issue. In the
ensuing discussion, Councilman Campbell felt this to be a national and international issue
and outside the purview of the City of Port Angeles. Further, he felt the Council is
burdened with other issues that have a direct impact on the citizens of Port Angeles. The
matter of the whale hunt is one of personal opinion.
It was, therefore, agreed that if any of the Councilmembers want to have this placed on the
September 1 Council agenda, staff should be notified this coming week.
None.
Councilman Doyle moved to accept the Consent Agenda, including: (A.) Approval
of Minutes - July 27, 1998 special meeting~ August4, .1998 regular meeting~ and August

responded that the sources of funding will determine the eligibility for the housing.
Although there inay be a preference for those 55 years of age and older, it is quite possible
that younger people will also be eligible. A vote was taken on the motion, which
carried by a majority vote, with Councllman Williams abstaining due to potential
conOict of interest.
Ordinances Not Requiring Public Hearings: None.
Resolutions Not Requiring Public Hearings:
. Resolution Supporting Efforts to Preserve and Maintain Hood Canal Bridge
Manager Ibarra reviewed the facts pertinent to the replacement plan for the eastern half of
the Hood Canal Bridge. The Washington Department of Transportation issued the plan in
April, 1997, in response to the need to replace the severely deteriorated eastern portion of
the bridge where further storm damage is likely. This project has received the highest
priority for bridge reconstruction in the State, which was a matter of discussion at a recent
meeting of the cities of Port Angeles, Sequim, and Forks. Manager Ibarra indicated that
all three cities agreed it would be appropriate to pass resolutions of support for this very
important project.
Mayor Braun read the Resolution by title, entitled
RESOLUTION NO. 19-98
A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the City of
Port Angeles, Washington, supporting efforts
by the Washington Department of Transportation
to preserve and maintain the Hood Canal Bridge
given its strategic importance to the North
Olympic Peninsula.
Councllman Campbell moved to pass the Resolution as read by title. Councllman
Williams seconded the motion. Discussion followed, and the question was raised as to
whether repair of the bridge had been considered as opposed to reconstruction.
Councilman Wiggins stated that discussions held at RTPO meetings would indicate all
options were considered. In addition, it was pointed out that construction on both the Hood
Canal Bridge and the Tacoma Narrows Bridge should not take place simultaneously. Staff
was askedto contact WSDOT to determine the timing of the two construction projects. A
vote was taken on the motion, which carried unanimously.
Other Considerations
A. Newlin Construction Easement on City Property
Public Works Director Pittis briefly reviewed the information relative to providing Mr.
Newlin with a construction easement on City property to construct a replacement wetland \
mitigation. It was noted that the easement would have minimal impact on the property and
would provide mutual benefits to the City and Mr. Newlin.
i
Brief discussion was held with regard to the ratio for the minimum replacement area. The
qUestion was raised as to whether the ratio was set by State or City regulations and whether
it could be changed. Attorney Knutson was of the opinion the ratio could, in fact, be

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE:
September 1, 1998
To:
Mayor Braun and City Council
FROM:
Jack Pittis, Public Works & Utilities Director
SUBJEcr:
Out of State Travel Request
SUMMARY I RECOMMENDATIONS: The next meeting of the Northwest Public Power Association
(NWPPA) Legislative & Resolutions Committee is in Jackson Hole, Wyoming on September 11,
1998. Bob. Titus is a member of this committee that formulates policy positions for the association.
It is recommended that the City Council authorize travel to the NWPP A Legislative &
Resolutions Committee meetin2 in Jackson Hole, Wyomin2.
IssuE: Should the City Council approve out-of-state travel for the Deputy Director of Utilities to
attend the NWPP A Legislative & Resolutions Committee meeting in Wyoming?
BACKGROUND I ANALYSIS: The NWPPA represents almost 150 electric utilities in 10 northwest
states and 3 Canadian provinces. The Legislative & Resolutions Committee meets quarterly at .
locations throughout the region served by NWPPA members. The committee addresses issues
affecting the electric utility industry and in particular those affecting association members in the
Northwest. Besides foimulating positions on current issues before Congress and State Legislatures,
the committee puts forth a platform of resolutions for the NWPPA Annual Meeting which is
forwarded to all of the elected officials in the states and provinces represented by the association.
Since the City Light Utility is unique in many ways compared to other regional utilities of comparable
size, having someone able to influence legislative decisions made by the association can benefit the
City. In particular, the issue ofElwha Dam removal is not popular in the utility industry and being
able to have the City's position considered in any deh"berations helps avoid the association taking a
position contrary to interests which benefit Port Angeles.
The meetings are rotated throughout the region and this quarter's meeting is in Jackson Hole,
Wyoming. Bob plans on flying into Salt Lake City and renting a car which will reduce the
transportation costs from over $600 to less than $350. Meals and accommodations will be in
accordance with the City Travel Policy.

RE: ' APPLICATION FOR FIRM POWER SERVICE
Dear Ms. Johansen:
.
The City of Port Angeles is a long time firm power customer of the Bonneville Power
Administration n (BP A). Currently, Port Angeles purchases the majority of the firm power s1lPply
to serve its retail customers from Bonneville under the terms of its Bonneville Power Sales Contract,
Contract No. 96MS-95027. This contract will expire on September 30th, 2001. Port Angeles' has
determined that it wishes to continue to purchase power from Bonneville after the expiration of its
current Bonneville Power Sales Contract.
In accordance with section 5(b) of the Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation
Act (Regional Act), Port Angeles hereby makes application to Bonneville for a power supply
contract with a term of up to twenty years for the sale and purchase of firm power to serve the net
requirements load of Port Angeles. The requested power supply contract would take effect
immediately upon the expiration of Port Angeles' current Bonneville Power Supply Contract. Since
the firm power supply requested herein will be used to serve Port Angeles' requirements load, ~he
pricing of such firm power should be consistent with section 7(b) of the Regional Act. '
Attached you will find a copy of the resolution of the Port Angeles City Council authorizing the
submission of this letter. The City's staff is available to meet with your staff to implement this
request.
Yours(Truly,

FROM:
Jack Pittis, Public Works & Utilities Director
SUBJECT:
Post-200 1 Power Purchases from BPA
SUMMARY I RECOMMENDATIONS: ,The City is at risk of partially losingJour priority right to federal
power from the Bonneville Power }.\dministration (BPA). One method available to protect City rights
is to submit an application for federal power now so it }Vill be effective after the current contract
expires in 2001. StafJrecommends the City Council adopt the attached resolution and authorize
staff to forward it with a letter (COpy attached) to the BPA Administrator.
ISSUE: Should the City Council authorize post-2001 power purchases from Bonneville Power
Administration?
BACKGROUND I ANALYSIS:
Less than a year ago, BP A was concerned that they would not be able to market. all pf the power
from the Federal Base System (FBS) because their rates were above market. The Regional Review v
suggested a subscription process where utilities would sign up early for some or all of their post-200 1
power supply needs (2001-2006) and in so doing preserve the rightto similar purchases from BPA
after 2006. At the time, BPA was above market and it was projected that they would continue to stay
above market until after 2006 when they would again be the lowest cost supplier in the region. Thus,
they were asking utilities to pay more in the early years with the prospect of greater savings in the
long term.
Public Power has priority to FBS power but the Direct Setvice Industries (Dsrs) and some residential
load of investor owned utilities (IOUs) also have the right to purchase power. When the subscription
process was.mst proposed, the issue was identilYing sufficient customers to purchase all of the power
supplied by the FBS through BPA Since that time, BPA has fallen below market and is expected to
remain at or below market through the 2001-2006 time frame. At the same time, ,the capacity of the
FB S has been degraded primarily because of fish mitigation requirements. As a result, the current
situation is one where BPA has inexpensive power that has caused demand to exceed supply.
Although Federal law provides the City" with priority access to FBS power, it appears the City is
vulnerable to those who may want to spread tJie benefits (now that it appears there are some) to all
regional power users. Discussions between public providers, DSrs and the IOUs have been ongoing
for several months now trying to determine an allocation method for FBS power to be distn'buted
between user groups. If these discussions fail to produce a settlement that is'satisfactory to public
\',--,

Denial of Northwest Permit Applications REZ 98-03 and STY 98-01
SUMMARY I RECOMMENDATIONS: At the August 10, 1998, City Council meeting, the Council
directed staff to prepare findings and conclusions to support denial ofREZ 98-03 and STY 98-01,
based on concerns about traffic safety and congestion, proximity of the proposed store to residences,
the" impacts of increased commercial activity in the Cherry Hill residential neighborhood. The
Planning Department recommends that the City Council move to deny Northwest Permit
Applications REZ 98-03 and STV 98-01. The City Council should cite the respective findings and
conclusions r ared b staff in denial of the rezone and the alle vacation.
IssUE: Should the City Council approve or deny Northwest Permit Applications REZ 98-03 and
STV 98-01?
BACKGROUND I ANALYSIS:
Following months of application preparation. public comment, and public testimony, the City Council
directed staff at its August 10, 1998, meeting to draft findings and conclusions in denial of the '
Northwest Permit rezone and alley vacation applications. Concerns were expressed about traffic
identified in the applicant's traffic study, and comments made by several entities including: the City's
Public Works and Police Departments; the Washington State Department of Transportation; and
neighboring residents. Most comments focused on how the commercial activity would impact the
low density residential neighborhood adjacent to the subject site. The burden of proof for rezoning
the subject properties and mitigating increased traffic and encroaching commercial land use was not
adequately established by proponents of the rezone and alley vacation.
45
.
.
.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS tNDENIAL OF REZONE - REZ 98-03 NORTHWEST
PERMIT:
Findings:
Based on the information provided in the public record including the application file, the staff
report and its attachments, comments received during the public comment period, the
Planning Commission's dehoeration, and public hearing testimony, the Port Angeles City
Council finds:
1. The applicant, Northwest Permit submitted the application to the Planning
Department on February 9, 1998. A Determination of Completeness was issued on
February 12, 1998, and the written public comment period initially ran from February
12, 1998 to February 27;1998. In response to public request, the public written
comment period was extended to March 6, 1998.
2. The proposal is to rezone four lots (Lots 13, 14, 15 and 16 of Block 268 in the
Townsite of Port Angeles), approximately 28,000 square feet of property, from RS- 7,
Residential Single Family to CSD, Commercial Shopping District (Attachment A to
the Planning Department Staff Report for REZ 98-03 dated July 8, 1998).
3.
The proposed rezone is part of the applicant's overall proposal to develop 90,000 s.f
of the southwest comer of Lincoln Street and 8th Street (extending to 9th Street)
with an approximately 17,000 s.f retail store. The overall propos3l includes this
rezone request and a street vacation request for the eastern portion of the
EighthlNinth Streets alley.
4. As part of the application's SEPA review, a traffic analysis was requested of the
applicant on February 13, 1998.
5. On April 20, 1998, the Planning Department received a letter from the applicant
waiving the City's 120 day permit processing requirement due to the applicant's delay
in preparing the requested traffic analysis.
6. On May 14, 1998, the Planning Department received the requested traffic analysis and
on June 3, 1998, the Planning Department received an addendum to the analysis with
comments regarding Ninth Street, Laurel Street, and the EighthlNinth Streets alley.
7.
This application was originally scheduled for Planning Commission consideration on
March 11, 1998, at which time it was continued, due to lack ofa traffic report and a -
SEPA determination, to April 22, 1998. On April 22, 1998, it was again continued
forthe same reason until June 10, 1998, at which time it was continued until July 8,
1998, to accommodate the resulting Mitigated Determination of Non Significance
(MDNS) required comment period.
47
.
.
.
16.
The traffic analysis noted the Eighth and Lincoln intersection currently functions at
an average level of service (LOS) D, and projected that in the year 2000 it will
continue to fimction at an average LOS ofD with and without the proposed project.
17. The traffic analysis noted ,the Eighth and Lincoln Street intersection currently
fimctions at a seasonal level of service (LOS) E, and projected that in the year 2000
it will continue to fimction at a seasonal LOS ofE without the proposed project, and
a seasonal LOS of F with the project as proposed. The report projects the
intersection will operate at a seasonal LOS of E with the project if the project is
subject to the report's mitigation measures. '
18. The City Engineer reviewed the traffic analysis and recommended a revision to the
report's mitigation measures. With the project subject to the revised mitigation
measures, the City Engineer states the average LOS for the Eighth and Lincoln
Streets intersection will remain at D in the year 2000, and the seasonal LOS will
remain at E.
19.
The Department of Transportation comments are included as Attachment E to the
Planning Department StaffRepoit for REZ 98-03 dated July 8, 1998. They address
the impact of the overall project on the Lincoln Street and 8th Street intersection,
storm water issues, signage requirements, and a recommendation the proposed
development of the overall site be accessed from 9th Street instead of Lincoln Street
(SR 101).
20. Public testimony was provided about the traffic safety concerns of neighborhood
residents, about the proximity of the proposed store to residences, and about the
impacts of increased commercial activity in the residential neighborhood.
Conclusions:
Based on the information provided in the public record including the application file, the staff report
and its attachments, written comments received during the public comment period, the Planning
Commission's dehoeration, public hearing testimony, and the above findings, the Port Angeles City
Council concludes:
A. The following Comprehensive Plan Policies are most relevant to the proposal, Land
Use Policies Al and A2, Cl, Dl, and E7.
B. There is no certainty that the property will be developed without expanding
commercial access along 9th Street to the four lots of the subject rezone, and
therefore, the rezone is not consistent with Comprehensive Plan Policies AI, A2, C 1,
Dl, andE7.
C.
The proposed rezone is not in the public use and interest and is not compatible with
the surrounding zoning and land uses.
49
.
.
.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS IN DENIAL OF STREET VACATION REQUEST -
STV 98-01 NORTHWEST PERMIT:
Findings:
1. The applicant for the requested vacation is Northwest Permit. The petition was
determined to be valid on Febnwy 13, 1998, and is filed with the City as STV 98-01.
2. The requested vacation is for that portion of the alley between 8th Street and 9th
Street abutting Lots 1-6 and 13-18 of Block No. 268 in the Townsite of Port Angeles.
3. The street vacation is categorically exempt from threshold determination and
Environmental Impact Statement requirements per Section 197-11-800 (2) (h) of the
Washington Administrative Code.
4. The subject right-of-way and abutting properties fall within the undesignated area,
between the Comprehensive Plan's Commercial land use designation to the north and
its Residential designation to the south. The majority of the abutting properties are
zoned Cominercial Shopping District (CSD) with four of the properties currently
zoned Residential, Single-Family (RS-7).
5.
The Public Works Department has indicated a 24" sanitary sewer main and overhead
electrical lines are located in the alley and will need to be relocated if the vacation is
approved.
6.
The subject right-of-way is currently improved.
7. The Public Works, Fire, and Police Department's comments are included as
Attachments B, C, and D of the July 8, 1998, Planning Department Staff Report for
STV 98-01.
8. The Police Department originally submitted written public safety concerns related to
the proposed vacation. These concerns include the current use of the alley for traffic
diversion in the event of an accident at the 8th Street and Lincoln Street intersection,
the use of the alley by officers in response to calls from the bank located at the comer
of 8th Street and Oak Street, and the use of the alley for access to and observation of
the 24 hour retail! gas station use at the comer of 8th Street and Lincoln Street.
9. At the July 8, 1998, Planning Commi~sion meeting, the Police Department's concerns
were further explained. Deputy Chief Tom Riepe stated that the July 7, 1998,
memorandum from the Police Department was intended to point out issues for
consideration but the concerns do not warrant denial of the proposed vacation.
10. At the August 10, 1998, City Council meeting, the Council directed staff to prepare
findings and conclusions to support denial ofREZ 98-03 and STV 98-01.

Doug Wood Easement to City for Trail Purposes
SUMMARY I RECOMMENDATIONS: Since Council adoption of the Centennial Trail project several
years ago, staff has been workipg toward property acquisitions necessary to develop the facility.
One such acquisition was purchase of the railroad trestle that crosses Morse Creek, at Four Seasons.
The acquisition was grant funded and provides access across Morse Creek. . The Peninsula Trails
Coalition has received a grant to be utilized for renovation of the trestle, including access on and
off the structure. In order to complete the project it became necessary to negotiate an easement with
the adjacent property owner, Mr. Doug Wood. Mr. and Mrs. Wood have graciously agreed to
donate the easement. thus it is recommended that the City Council authorize Mayor Braun
to sign the easement agreement.
ISSUE: Should the City Council authorize the Mayor to sign an easement agreement with Mr.
& Mrs. Doug Wood?
BACKGROUND I ANALYSIS: The Peninsula Trails Coalition succeeded in acquiring grant funding
to be utilized for renovation of the City owned trestle that crosses Morse Creek. In addition to re-
decking the trestle and making other necessary repairs, the coalition will undertake development of
ramps on and off the trestle. In order to meet ADA requirements for ramps and elevation changes
it was necessary to pursue an easement with the adjacent property owner, Mr. Doug Wood. The
Wood family has graciously agreed to donate an easement sufficient enough to provide for ramping
on and off the east end of the trestle.
The trestle represents the eastern terminus of the Centennial Trail. Staff is workiqg with the trails
coalition toward a joint maintenance and operations agreement in an effort to minimize future
maintenance costs. Again, the project is grant funded and sponsored by the Peninsula Trails
Coalition.

Consideration of Agreement with ClaIlam-Jefferson Community Action Council for
Services for Phase IV of the Port Angeles Housing Rehabilitation Program
suMMARy I RECOMMENDATIONS: The City contracted with ClaIlam-Jefferson Community Action
Council to assist with the implementation of the Port Angeles Housing Rehabilitation Program,
Phases 1- m. A new contract should be considered to implement the grant award of$750,000 for
Phase IV. City staff recommends the City Council approve a contract with aallam-Jefferson
Community Action Council for services to implement Phase W of the Port Angeles Housing
Rehabilitation Program.
isSUE: Shall the City enter into a contract with the ClaIlam-Jefferson Community Action Council
for services needed to help implement Phase IV of the Port Angeles Housing Rehabilitation Program?
BACKGROUND I ANALYSIS: The City has been awarded a grant of$750,000 for Phase IV of the
Port Angeles Housing Rehabilitation Program. The program provides loans, and emergency and
handicapped-access grants for home building repairs for low-to-moderate income households.
Approximately 135 homes have been rehabilitated under the previous phases of this program. In
addition to supporting City goals for decent and affordable housing, the program supports local
building material supply businesses and family wage jobs for local building contractors.
To reduce cost and minimi7.e staff support, the City has contracted with an outside agency as a grant
subrecipient of the program. Clallam-Jefferson Community Action Council (CA) has been the
subrecipient of the grants which have been awarded by Washington State Commnnity Development
Block Grant (CDBG). CA is active in affordable housing issues in both ClaIlam and Jefferson
counties, and is knowledgeable of CDBG grant requirements. CA has performed in full accordance
with the terms of earlier contracts and is recommended for Phase IV because of their understanding
of the program and their capacity to accomplish the next phase in accordance with the grant budget.
A contract based on applicable Federal and State regulations has been developed. The fee for
services, not to exceed $104,000 over the two year term, is reimbursable by the grant.

Surrender ofFERC License for Morse Creek
SUMMARY I RECOMMENDATIONS: It appears the continued operation of the Morse Creek Hydro
facility is no longer in the best interests of the City. If the decision is made to cease operation, then
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) license J,llllst be surrendered. It is recommended
that Council authorize staff to notify FERC of the City's intent to surrender the Morse Creek
H dro 0 eratin license.
ISSUE: Should the City Council authorize surrender of the City's Morse Creek Hydro operating
license?
BACKGROUND I ANALYSIS: The Morse Creek Hydro facility was built in the mid-eighties at a time
when it was anticipated that today's wholesale electric rates would be 50% higher than they actually
are. In addition, the construction and maintenance costs of the project exceeded estimates. In recent
years maintenance costs have been more than the value of the power being generated. Thus, when
a leak occurred in the pipeline that would cost an estimated $25,000 to repair, the decision was made
to shut down power generation and FERC was contacted about the pOSSlOility of mothballing the
project. Unfortunately, FERC does not allow mothballing and informed staff that the City must either
repair the pipeline and resume operations or surrender the license.
For much of the last year staffhas explored the potential consequences of license surrender to the
City's water rights and have worked with the State Department ofFish & Wildlife to determine if the
City could help with the development of a salmon acclimation pond on the site. The City has received
a number of extensions from FERC to delay the deadline for making a decision but the last extension
expires on September 20, 1998. The City Council has previously determined that the City should
revise the water right on Morse Creek. Staff recommends that cooperation continue with the State
on a fish acclimation pond without using any facilities associated with the hydro project. Therefore,
the FERC license issue appears to be only a matter of cost, where continued operation of the power
generation facility has some serious disadvantages.

MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT - MCA 98-04
CITY OF PORT ANGELES - Aboveground Flammable Liquid Tanks
.
SUMMARY I RECOMMENDATION:
This amendment will resuh in a revision to existing standards for the placement of aboveground
flammable liquid tanks consistent with language in the Uniform Fire Code. Existing language
refers to outdated references to zoning districts and prohibits aboveground dispensing tanks in ..
certain industrial zones. The amendment clarifies the intent as to the location of aboveground
flammable liquid tanks for dispensing and distnl>ution purposes. The Planning Department
recommends that City Council move to concur with the recommendation of the Planning
Commission and to amend the Municipal Code as proposed in: the attached draft ordinance.
Council should adopt the rmdings and conclusions noted by the Planning Commission in
support of that action.
IsSUE:
Amendment to the Port Angeles Municipal Code by amending the City's Fire Code and a portion
of the City's zoning regulations. \',
BACKGROUND I ANALYSIS: I
A proposal to locate aboveground flammable storage tanks in an industrial area (the airport) was
received by the City's Fire Department. In reviewing the proposal, it became apparent that
discrepancies between the Fire Code and certain sections of the Municipal Code (zoning) exist and
result in the permissibility of dispensing and distribution uses in one set of regulations that are
negated in another. The existing'wording creates a situation where it is permissible to locate
unlimited bulk storage services in the Industrial Heavy zone but prohibits smaller dispensing tanks
in those same areas. Additionally, current zoning regulations permit dispensing tanks in zones
which permit residential development but prohtl>its them in non residential industrial light zone,
which includes the airport and its industrial park area and the Fairgrounds.
.
The amendment corrects the outdated language in the Municipal Code so as to comply with the
intent of regulations regarding the aboveground storage offlammable liquids.
Attachment: draft ordinance
63
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS IN SUPPORT OF MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT -
MCA 98-04 - CIlY OF PORT ANGELES:
.
Findings:
1.
The City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Policy H5 states:
"Because they are hazardous to the community and detrimental to
the general environment of the area petroleum refineries,
liquefied natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas facilities, energy
facilities, energy plants and their associated facilities and
associated transmissionfaci/ities, as defined in Chapter 80.50
RCW, should not be permitted outside the heavy industrial use
area and without conditional use review. "
2.
A Determination of Non-Significance for the proposed amendment was signed by
the City's SEP A ResponSll>le Official on August 7, 1998 (attached as Attachment
A)
3.
Chapter 14.21.030, Sub-Section A of the City of Port Angeles Fire Code addresses
above ground storage of fuels for direct use "dispensing" purposes and S~b-
Section B deals with above grOlmd bulk storage of fuel for "distribution" purposes.
.
4.
The current wording ofCbapter 14.21.030, Sub-Section A, prohibits above ground
storage offuels fQr direct use "dispensing" purposes (regardless of capacity) in all
residential zones, certain commercial zones, the PBP and IL zones and the III zone
south of the airport. It does allow above ground storage offuel for "dispensing"
pmpOseS if the total maximum capacity is less than 24,000 gallons in the CA and
CBD zones.
5.
The current wording of Chapter 14.21.030, Sub-Section B, prolnoits above ground
bulk storage of fuel for "distnoution" purposes in all zones except the III zone
west of Cedar Street.
6.
The proposed amendment will prohibit all new above ground commercial fuel
tanks in residential 'zones. It will penlnt above ground "dispensing" fuel tanks with
a capacity of less than 24,000 gallons in all non-residential zones and will
conditionally permit fuel yards and gas manufacturing and storage in the III zone
only if the site is located west of Cedar Street.
7.
The acronyms ACD, CSDl, CSD2 and M-2 are no longer valid references to
current City zoning classifications.
8.
Section 7902.2.2.1 of the Uniform Fire Code reads "Locations where above
ground tanks are prolnl>ited. Storage of Class I and n liquids in above ground
tanks outside of buildings is proln'bited within the limits established by law as the
limits of districts in which such storage is prolnoited."

MUNICIPAL.COnE~~lE~DME~I~_-"'lCA~8=-OA.~ClTY_OF_P_ORI
ANGELES._City.-\vide: Proposal to amend the City's \tlunicipal Code with
respect to the installation of above ground liquid storage tanks.
Senior Planner David Sawyer reviewed the Planning Department's staff report. He clarified
that the amendment is proposed to retlect changes in zone classifications and to better
implement the Zoning Code's intent as to the placement of flammable/combustible storage
tanks. The proposed wording will allow the Code to remain current even if zoning
classifications change in the future. Chair Reed opened the public hearing.
Commissioner Hewins questioned whether the changes would prevent storage'ofheating oil
tanks and residential propane tanks. Planner Sawyer did not believe the amendments as
proposed are intended or will result in the prohibition of permitted residential flammable
storage tanks. The intent is not to change or prohibit anything that is currently permitted.
Ken Sweeney, Planlling and Environmelltal 111anager for [he Port of Port Angeles,
338 West First Street. supported the Code change. He explained that the Port had asked the
City to look at its outdated restrictions in association with a road realignment project
realigning Lauridsen Boulevard and Edgewood Drive will go through the existing fuel
storage tanks at the Airport. It was determined that above ground storage would be
advantageous in replacing the underground tanks and above ground tanks are easier to
monitor, are cheaper. and the tanks have a certain amount of portability in the event it is
necessary to move the location of the tanks. In revie\ving the City's Code. it was determined
that the current wording would not allow above ground dispensing tanks at the airport.
Planner Sawyer explained that the amendment will not restrict home heating fuel tanks as
they are not regulated tanks. The amendment that is being proposed is for regulated tank
placement only. .-\ regulated tank contains more than 1100 gallons or fuel. He suggested
that possibly rewording of the amendment to remove reference to capacity of the tanks might
be helpful in the Commission's discussion. New storage tank yards will not be permitted
outside of the Industrial Heavy zone east of Cedar Street.
Chair Reed closed the public hearing. The Commission began discussion of alternative
wording for the amendment.
Planner Sawyer noted that this amendment is in the Fire Code. not the Zoning Code. The
Fire Department has reviewed the amendment. it is their application. they have approved it.
He recommended the Planning Commission not recommend changes beyond what the [Fire
Department] requested and contained in staffs report. The intent is not to change anything.
but to clarify the current interpretation of the Code and its implementation.
The Commission called for a ten minute break. The meeting reconvened with Dan McKeen.
Fire Marshall. joining the meeting.
Dan McKeen. Fire Marshall. explained the background of the proposal as previously
explained by Ken Sweeney. Residential storage tanks are not regulated by the Fire Code.

Commercial tanks are regulated. The current language prohibits the above ground storage/of
. tlammable/combustible liquid storage taryks in all zones other than in a commercial capacity. The
amendment is an attempt to clear up the confusion created by the current wording and the City's new
zoning designations.
He read from Section 7902.2.2.1 of the Fire Code'~ which provides lal}guage that establishes limits
through the Fire Code insofar as the areas in which the above ground tanks outside of a building are
limited in an attempt to respond to Commissioner's questions regarding tank capacities. He stated
that neither the amendment nor the Fire Code address limits but refer to areas where certain storage
uses can occur. He then responded at length to questions regarding capacities of fuel tanks and their
placement and assured the Commissioners that the amendment will not limit those perinitted uses
which already occur, residentially or commercially, but will provide wording that deals with current
c
language found inthe Zoning Code and allow for placement of above ground tanks per the Port of
Port Angeles' proposal for the airport site.
Director Collins suggested drafting a finding to express the Commission's understanding that the
Fire Code regulates only commercial storage dispensing and distributing facilities in an attempt to
alleviate the Commission's ,concerns.
!
Commissioner Nutter moved to recommend that the City Council approve the ame~dment as
proposed to Section 14 of the Port Angeles ;\Iunicipal Code with the following findings
including an additional finding (No.8) to address ,the p~evious discussion and understanding,
and citing the following conclusions: ;

MUNICIP AL CODE AMENDMENT - MCA 98~04
City of Port Angeles
RE:
LOCATION:
I City Wide
PROPOSAL:
To amend the City's Municipal Code with respect to the ii1st~llation of above
ground liquid fuel storage tanks,
BACKGROUND~NALYSffi:
Intent of the 'Fire Code
This report and reconunendation is based on the understanding that Chapter 14,2 L 030, Sub-Section
A of the City of Port Angeles Fire Code deals with above ground storage of fuels for direct use
"dispensing" purposes and Sub-Section B deals with above ground bulk storage of fuel for
"distribution" purposes. It does not appear the intent of Section A is to prohibit dispens,ing tanks in
all zones that permit residential units. It is interpreted that the intent of Section B is to allow bulk
storage facilities in, the areas of town where they currently exist but not to permit new facilities in
other areas.
The current wording of Section A, prohibits above ground storage of fuels for direct use "dispensing"
purposes (regardles~ of capacity) in all residential zones, certain commercial zones, the PBP and IL
zones and the IH zone south of the airport. It does allow above ground storage of fuel for
"dispensing" purposes if the total maximum sapacity is less than 24.000 gallons in the CAand CBD
zones. This creates a situation where "dispensing" tanks are allowed in zones which, permit
residential developments (CA and CBD)' but prohibits them (regardlesscof capacity) in the non-
residential IL zone which includes the airport and its industrial park area. It also prohibits such
storage at the fairgrounds.
The current wording of Section B, prohibits above ground bulk storage of fuel for ,"distribution"
purposes in all zones except the IH zone west of Cedat Street. This creates a situation where it is
okay to have unlimited bulk storage in the IH zone south of the airport but' not smaller "dispensing"
tanks,

to conduct. The purpose is to discuss issues confronting cities. It appears the closest location for
us to attend is Thursday, October 1, 6:00 p.m. in Bremerton. Any Council member interested in
attending can notifY me and I will ask Sam to prepare one registration for the group. We may also
want to car pool to the meeting.
EDC'S 2020 MEETING

Dear Messrs. Owens and Munson:
This letter is to inform you that City Council will not be addressing the Makah whale hunt subject
at the September 1, 1998 meeting. As was stated by Council at the August 18 meeting, this issue
is not within the jurisdiction of the City of Port Angeles. While this item has generated a debate
involving rights and opinions from various sources, the City Council has not chosen to involve
itself at this time. Additionally, as Mayor I am concerned that the City be cautious about supporting
a position regarding Tribal government matters. In closing, we appreciate the time and effort you
have invested in this issue.
Very truly yours,

City role in ongoing development efforts for the Oak Street Site
SUMMARY I RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Port of-Port Angeles owns a vacant parcel of property on the waterfront between Oak and
Cheny Streets. The 3.9 acre Oak Street site has been proposed to accommodate a hotel development
or pO,ssibly some alternative commercial development such as the ''Campus concept" which was
suggested in the Downtown Forward Master Plan. The City has worked with the Port toward
furthering the development which would ultimately be completed by a private developer.
Past negotiations with Mr. Mcclasky (Red Lion) and most recently Mr Hemstreet (Shilo) have not
produced a development on the site. As the Port focuses more efforts on developing industrial
property as opposed to commercial property, which the Oak Street property is, they are requesting
the City serve as the lead agency in marketing the property. This issue has been discussed on several
occasio~s by the City Council's Downtown Forward Advisory Committee.
Recently, Timothy Smith, fun Haguewood, Vice-President of the Downtown Forward Committee,
and I met with Chris Anderson, Port Director, to explore this possibility. There was much discussion
regarding potential users, financial considerations, and lease arrangements. It appears that this type
of arrangement which features the City assuming the lead agent role in securing investment for the
property can be created.
On August 17th, the Downtown Forward Committee discussed the meeting between the City and
Port, and passed a motion, by unanimous vote, recommending the City take the lead in planning for
the development and marketing of the Oak Street property. If the City Council concurs with this
motion, the next step would likely be formal approval by the Port CommiSsion.
Since downtown is a valuable asset to the community's economic structure, I believe it in the best
interests to create this type of business arrangement. There would be no financial investment, beyond
staff time, devoted to this project until such time a development is being considered.

Recommended Changes to Consent Agenda
SUMMARY I RECOMMENDATIONS: In another effort to improve the efficiency of the Council
meeting agenda, I am recommending the check list be included in the consent agenda on a monthly
basis instead of the bi-monthly which had been prior. State statutes require that the legislative body
approve all checks issued in payment of claims at least on a monthly basis. Thus, the change would
comply with the State statute. In regards to approval of payroll, there exists no statute governing
approval. As a resuh, I would prefer, with Council's approval, to withdraw the payroll snmmary
from the consent agenda in the future. There currently exist strict hiring and budgetary controls that
govern payroll. \
If this meets with your approval, the Finance Department will include monthly check registers in the
a enda on the second meetin of each month be ... in S tember.
