REPORTS OF COMMISSION MEMBERS
Chair Schwab
th
Chair Schwab and Vice Chair Stanley’s last meeting is on February 28. Chair Schwab does plan
on applying again for the Planning Commission.
Vice-Chair Stanley reports that Clallam County is now engaging with climate planning with
Cascadia Consulting. Agenda items concerning greenhouse gas emission and other studies will be
in front of the County Commissioners next Monday. The data from these studies could be relevant
to the City of Port Angeles.
Commissioner Luxton-
Code in Public Works conflicts with the Utility Advisory Committee (UAC). Accessory Dwelling
Units (ADU’s) currently must have a separate connection from the main connection. Cottage
housing isn’t feasible without special permission from Public Works. Shared driveways would help
reduce the number of driveways but there is special permission required to have a shared driveway.
Having an extra connection adds to development costs and utility fees. Reaffirming that an ADU
is an accessory to a primary residence.
