DE FUCA BLUFFS SUBDIVISION
Conditions:
1. A bond or other form of security acceptable to the City Attorney shall be on file with the City
prior to the filing of the final subdivision in an amount approved by the City Engineer to ensure
the completion of paving and sidewalk improvement as required by the conditions of
preliminary approval. The final paving of the interior lots and sidewalk shall be completed
prior to the final of any building within the subdivision.
2. A hold harmless agreement shall be filed with the final plat holding the City harmless against
future issues with development in environmentally sensitive areas.
Findings:
1. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing in consideration of the preliminary
subdivision on March 8, 2006, and forwarded a favorable recommendation of approval to the
City Council with conditions. Preliminary approval was given for the 24 -unit final subdivision
entitled "Juan de Fuca Bluffs ", by the City Council on April 4, 2006, with 9 conditions.
2. The approximately 10 acre site is situated along the marine bluff above the Strait of Juan de
Fuca in Suburban Lots 60 and 65, Townsite of Port Angeles, Clallam County, Washington.
Development restrictions outlined in Section 15.20 (Environmentally Sensitive Areas) of the
Port Angeles Municipal Code were considered in initial review of the subdivision and in review
of the final plat.
3. The subject property is identified by the Port Angeles Zoning Map as being zoned RS -11

site. The smallest lot within the subdivision is 11, 011 square feet in area.
4. Per RCW 58.17.110, written findings were made during preliminary review that development of
the subdivision would be in the public interest and that the development would be in accord with
the City's Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map, Zoning Ordinance, and local and State
Subdivision Regulations. Specific areas of preliminary review included open spaces, drainage
ways, streets, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, schools, sidewalks,
and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who walk to and
from school, refuse pickup, and emergency services.
5. The applicant submitted the final plat for approval on October 04, 2007. Per Section 16.08.070
PAMC, Community & Economic Development Department Staff reviewed the final plat to
determine its completeness and to determine whether the plat conforms to the approved
preliminary plat. Site inspections were performed and reviewing City Departments — Fire and
Public Works and Utilities — noted that all conditions of approval have been satisfactorily
completed with the exception of a final lift of paving and finished sidewalks. The applicant
asked that the final paving and sidewalks be completed by the spring of 2008.
6. The William R. Fairchild International Airport is located south of the site and is managed by the
Port of Port Angeles. Per agreement with the Port of Port Angeles, a note has been placed on the
final plat indicating the existence of the airport operation in the vicinity.
7. The Port Angeles City Council conducted a public hearing in review of the final subdivision
consideration on November 7, 2007.

consistent with the Chapter 16.08 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) (Subdivision),
Section 17.12 PAMC (RS -11 Residential Single Family zone), and Chapter 58.17 RCW

walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school.
