III PLANNING STUDY
Mr. Carr provided a brief history and review of the Harbor
planning effort and the final report. A number of Planning
Commission and Council members expressed concern that
tourism was not adequately emphasized. The major thrust of
the report is port industrial activities. Councilman McPhee
expressed concern that there is an over-emphasis on aqua-
culture. Ms. Davison suggested that the emphasis on tourism
in the earlier reports be included into the final report.
During a discussion on the aquaculture section of the final
report, tpe participants considered that a maximum of one
more aquaculture pen is all that was likely to occur in the
Harbor.
The participants noted that the commercial fishing and fish
processing summaries in the Executive and on page 3.26 did
not agree. This should be corrected.
During the discussion of recreation/marina/beach, the par-
ticipants determined that not enough alternatives were
evaluated . Alternatives that could be explored included
transient boat moorage east of the Pier, expansion of the
existing Boat Haven, property swaps and relocation of
existing industries (assisted by local government). There
was concern over the common--sense of-iilYfng-oneboa-f
marina in order to create another: The proposed beach was a
good proposal. There was concern that the proposed recrea-
tional marina east of City Pier was not cost-effective.

The participants discussed moving the Waterfront. Trail to
alleviate concerns. Councilman Schermer suggested moving
the current Waterfront Trail to Second Street near the Port
of Port Angeles.
During the discussion of off-shore minerals and oil, the
participants decided that given the long time-frame of the
proposal, they needed to know the status of the off-shore
leases before any decisions could be made.
The participants decided that we should examine the current
use of the Coast Guard Station and involve the Coast Guard
before seriously pursuing homeporting Navy vessels asso-
ciated with the Everett port.
There was concern about the Executive Swnmary and its
presentation. Of p~~"!:..icular concern 'N~s the _ ~Q5 acr~s i_~__
the Harbor that 'allegedly appear to be excess with respect to log
storage. The participants suggested investigating alterna-
tive uses other than aquaculture, such as finger piers and
fishing piers. The participants requested the Planning
staff review possible re-writes of the Executive Summary.
As a result of the discussion, a-maJority of participants felt the
City should take the lead agency position in the upcoming
phase of the work. They also felt there should be another
phase of work.
