Oil Company for an increase in driveway space in fromt of the Coca Cola
Building on East First Street to facilitate entrance into the Shell Service
Station located on adjacent lot. After a thorough" discussion, it was
decided to redommend that the application be denied and that the Planning
Commission be recorded as being opposed to excess driveways across the
sidewalk area because of the hazard presented to pedestrian traffic.
A considerable discussion was had on the advisability of recommending the
adoption of the Pacific Coast Building Code by the City of Port Angeles
and it was decided that the several members familiarize the~selves with
the Code and that the matter be brought up at a later date for action.

Under general discussion, the subject of the Planning Commission's
recommendation of the vacation of a certain portion of West eth Street
to SChool District #17, it was P9inted out that in the event the Council
does not see fit to vacate this street, it should be thoroughly kept in
mind, in the event of future street improvements in that area, that we
recommend the improvement of 7th Street westerly from "r" Street rather
than 8th Street in order that the City may not be faced in the future
with a situation similar to Fourth Street in front of the Roosevelt
School or Second Street at the rear of the Washington School where it is
common practice to place restrictions on traffic during schooi hours.
No further business appearing, the meeting was adjourned at 9:00 P.M.
