1. A bond or assignment of savings in the amount of 150% of the engineering estimate to
complete infrastructure improvements as required shall be submitted and approved by the
City Engineer prior to final of Phase II of the subdivision. Wording such that "No occupancy
of dwelling units will be allowed until all roadway and utility improvements have been
completed and approved by the City Engineer" shall appear on the face of the final plat.
Findings:
1. A 32 -unit residential subdivision was approved in the RS -9 Residential Single Family zone
on March 16, 2004 for Olympic Land Development, Inc. The preliminary subdivision was
approved to be finaled in three phases: Phase I consists of Lots 1 - 6, Phase II consists of
Lots 7 - 19, and Phase II consists of Lots 20 - 32. Conditions of approval were attached to
preliminary plat approval to ensure that the requirements of the City's subdivision
regulations, codified as Section 16.08 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code, and the State's
subdivision standards, 58.17 RCW, are met
2. Phase I of the subdivision, entitled "Olympic Heights" was finaled by the City Council on
November 16, 2004.
3. Section 16.08.070 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code allows that if a preliminary plat is
approved by the City Council, the developer, before requesting final approval, shall elect to
install or assure installation of the improvements required by Section 16.08.070 PAMC by
one of the following methods:
1. Actual installation of the required improvements, to the satisfaction and
approval of the City Engineer;
2. Furnishing to the City an assignment of savings or another approved security
or placing in trust, an amount equal to 150% of the cost of the improvements as determined
by the City Engineer, which assignment shall assure to the City the installation of the
improvements to the satisfaction and approval of the City Engineer. This savings account,
or other security, or trust shall be conditioned so that no amount may be removed therefrom
without prior written approval of the City, and shall further provide that, if the improvements
are not installed within the time limitations set by the City Engineer, or not installed to the
satisfaction of the City Engineer, the City may withdraw from the savings account or other
security an amount necessary to complete the required improvement(s). The City Engineer
shall determine the period of the assignment of the savings account, other security, or the
trust.
4. The applicants requested final of Phase II (Lots 7 - 19) of the subdivision on June 14, 2005,
and submitted an assignment of savings equal to 150% of the cost of completion of the
roadway and utility improvements per Section 16.08.050 PAMC as approved by the City
Engineer. The City Engineer has approved the assignment amount relative to completion of
the incomplete roadway and utility improvements.
5. The applicant submitted a letter on June 14, 2005, with regard to the improvement of 14th
Street abutting the subdivision being developed as a standard street rather than to low impact
development standards.
Conclusion:
A. As conditioned, conditions of subdivision approval have been met and therefore the
subdivision is found to be in the public interest and in compliance with standards for
subdivisions as set forth in RCW 58.17 and 16.08 PAMC.
