Minutes of the regular meeting of the City of Port Angeles Planning
Commission, April 7th, 1953.
Members present were Hampton, Reiners, Rodda and strange. Also
present was City ~ngineer Ahlvers.
There was considerable discussion with relation to the Wheeler Hardware
Company proposal for an exchange of lots with the City. Action was
postponed until a later date when more data would be available.
The chairman made a report on his talk to the Chamber of Commerce with
reference to the grading through of Laurel Street from First Street to
Second Street, stating that he had told the Chamber of Commerce that,
in the opinion of the Planning Commission, the proposal was not
practical. That the cost of the improvement would far exceed the
benefits to be derived. There was general agreement with the ehairmans
position.
The chairman introduced a traffic plan which had been submitted to him
by City Manager Vergeer as an idea from which a study could be made of
the feasibility and desirability of creating one way traffic streets
through our business section. A considerable length of time was spent
in discussing the plan and the first reaction of the Planning Commission
was that it would be better to delay a matter of this kind until our
street arterial program was complete ~nd a study could be made of its
possible influence on traffic, however, it was decided that it would
probably be a good idea to discuss the plan ~ith small groups to get
their reaction prior to an overall hearing on the matter. It was
decided the chairman could present the plan probably to the Chamber of
Commerce to get their reaction.
Mr. Rodda reported purchasing a home with the intent of moving outside
the City limits and discussed tendering his resignation as a member
of our commission. The members expressed regret at losing Mr. rtodda
as a member of our board.
No rurther business appearing, meeting was adjourned at 9:30 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
