Minutes of the regular meeting of the City of Port Angeles Planning
Commission, April 21st, 1953.
Members present were Lamoureux, Reiners, Stewart, Gort and Strange. Also
present was City Engineer Ahlvers.
First order of business was the consideration of a ~equest, which had been
refered to us by Mr. Vergeer, from Mr. Ted Browne, representing property
on the south side of Front Street, east of Lincoln Street. The request
being for installation of a curb set back five (5) feet from. the present
curh line in order to give more car parking space. This of course would
not conform to the established curb line along the south side of Front
Street. Mr. Browne appeared on behalf of his request and after a lengthy
discussion, it was the unanimous opinion of the Planning Commission that
we recommend that the request be denied.
The matter of the exchange of lot 6 for lot 4, block-l tidelands west of
Laurel as proposed by the Wheeler Hardware Co. with the City of Port
Angeles was again brought up for discussion. It was finally unanimously
decided by the Commission that we favor the exchange providing the Wheeler
Hardware Co. pay an amount equal to the additional assessment to be levied
by the Oak Street improvement on lot-b over and above the assessment on
lot-~ and that we feel further there should be an additional amount paid
to equalize the valuation, inasmuch as it is the opinion of the Planning
Commission that lot-4, which is owned by the City, has more value than
lot-o, owned by the Wheeler Hardware Co. due to the location of these
lots with r~spect to the hub of the business area Which we deem to be
Front and Laurel Streets.
The matter of forming a local improvement district on Cherry Hill, as
proposed by Mr. Clarence Flatau who had attended our last meeting, was
then introduced. After a considerable discussion, with relation to the
size of the area, type of pavement, draining, curbs and gu~ters and all
other incidentals to an improvement of this kind, it was decided that
between now and our next meeting~ we would discuss the matter with the
City Manager, the Mayor and other interested parties in order to prepare
a petition to be circulated by Mr. Flatau, his neighbors and others.
No further business appearing, meeting was adjourned at 9:30 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
/f~ ~ ~~
