SHORELINE MANAGEMENT PERMIT HEARING - PEN PLY. Request
for a Shoreline Permit to allow installation of a
second trailer loader at Lease Lot 7, Ediz Hook
Lighthouse Reservation. Location: Ediz Hook.
Mr. VanHemert reviewed the Department Report. Chairman Ross
opened the public hearing.
Paul Sawyer stated that the second hoist was needed because
of the increase in log truck traffic at the dump site. By
locating the hoist adjacent to the existing hoist, the
facility can be moved southward to accommodate the Trail.
Chairman Ross closed the public hearing.
Mr. Glass moved to recommend approval of the Shoreline
Permit, subject to the following conditions:
1. That a right of use for a public access trail, not in
conflict with the existing lease agreements or the log
dump operation, be granted, the location of which will
be determined by negotiation with the City when
detailed designs for the Trail are available.
.
2 .
That the hoist be located adjacent to the existing
hoist and approximately 20 feet from the south edge of
Ediz Hook Road, and both hoists use the same exit.
3. That the roadway service road entrance and exit to the
hoists be paved.
He cited the following findings:
A. The present and proposed uses are water-oriented,
rather than shoreline-dependent; therefore, the pro-
posal is in partial compliance with General Regulation
C.2, Land Use Element D.l.a and Use Activity F.8.a.
B. Construction will not occur over existing natural beach
or water; therefore, the Permit complies with General
Regulation 5 and Natural Systems Policy 1.a.
c. The hoist will be located in an industrially-used site
in the Urban Environment and not commit additional
shoreline to development, furthering General Regula-
tions C.l and 4.
D.
With the condition that the hoist be relocated and an
access trail be provided, physical access to a Shore-
line of Statewide Significance will be improved, in
accordance with General Regulation C.2 and Land Use
Element D.2.

rip rap along 560 feet of shoreline inside the log dump
trestle in Port Angeles Harbor, total fill to be
approximately 1280 tons. Location: Lease Lot 7, Ediz
Hook Lighthouse Reservation.
Mr. VanHemert reviewed the Department Report. Chairman Ross
opened the public hearing.
Paul Sawyer explained that the bank adjacent to the Harbor
is erod~ng, jeopa~dizing-_ the log loading and unloading
facility. Most of the rip rap will be landward of the mean
higher high water line. Chairman Ross closed the public
hearing.
Mr. Cornell moved to recommend approval of the Shoreline
Management Permit, citing the following findings:
A. The rip-rap is being placed to protect upland facilities
and therefore complies with Use Activities F.9.e.
B. Since it will be placed in a manner that does not
endanger fish or shellfish habitats and does not
degrade or displace a natural beach, it complies with
Natural Systems Policy E.1.a and Use Activities F.9.b.
C. Because natural materials are being used and the exist-
ing marine beach will not be displaced, the proposed
rip-rap complies with Natural Systems Policy E.1.a and
Use Activities Policy F.9.a.
D. The proposal will not detrimentally alter the natural
conditions of a Shoreline of Statewide Significance, in
compliance with General Regulation C.S.
Mr. Glass seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
