MEMO: January 16, 1969 --, TO: Port Angeles Planning Commission RE: Meeting scheduled for January 21, 1969 Old Business - R. H. Scanlon, request for variance at 16th and tiC" Streets, property ownership was in question. After checking this property ownership at the Courthouse, I was unable to determine who the owner actually was because of the multiplicity of contract sales and repossessions. I next contacted th# City Attorney and after look- ing over the requirements for a variance application in "'the zoning ordinance, he felt the question of ownership was irrelevant as there is no requirement that the 6~appl icant be the legal owner. (This is a feature which might warrant some consideration at a revision study session.) New Business - No new applications have been received for hearing at this meeting. Other Business - Vannausdle1s Hardware on South Eunice Street have erected a new sign (3' x 6') to replace an old one (2 I x 4 '). When they applied for the permit, they were advised that the largest sign allowed in an RS-7 Zone was one square foot. I suggested this was a matter for the Planning Commission. Mr. Gary Monnot of East Craig Avenue wishes to enlarge an existing non-conforrra ing single-family residence. (Insufficient front yard set back.) I advised him to .. apply for a variance; however, he feels this is unreasonable and will probably attend this meeting to protest.

Council Action - The Ci ty Council has not met since the last Planning Commission meeting, so no action has been taken on the items from the January 7, 1969 meeting. As of this date I have no other business that has been presented for this meeting. R. P. Willson Recording Secretary e.
