Minutes of the regular meeting of the Port Angeles Planning Commission
July 15th, 1958.
Members present were Reiners, Gort, Hankins and Strange. Also present
was City Engineer Warder.
Principal order of business was consideration of an application for a
zoning variance on Lot-17, Block 70 by the McDonald Funeral Home. In
brief, the application was for permission to construct a covered driveway
with louvered sidewall on the easterly side of Lot-17, this lot being in
a second class residence zone and the variance application would be for
permission to build to the property line. Present at the meeting
representing McDonald Funeral Home was Very J. McDonald and H. M. Perkins.
Appearing in opposition by letter and in person was Mrs Joe Janish. There
was a general disQussion on the merits of the application. Mrs McDonald
stating this was but a part of the overall improvement contemplated at the
funeral parlor and maintaining that the general appearance of the place
would be enhanced by the improvements contemplated. Mrs Janish Claiming
the proposed covered driveway would be very detrimental to her property,
causing, according to her, a decided reduction in its value as well as
other inconveniences. After much discassion, the commission adjourned
to the site to look over the proposal so that all members will be familiar
with the pros and cons of the argument. Commission members were fairly
well satisfied that a compromise had been reached whereby the improvement
could be installed without undue hardship to the Janish property and it
was agreed to meet the following morning at 10:00 A.M. at which time Mr.
Janish would be present to help decide their position.
(At 10:00 A.M. the following morning, the chairman of the Commission .
together with Mr. Warder met with the parties concerned, it being imposAlble

emphatically that they were opposed to the variance and if it were granted
and approved by the Council_ they would serve an injunction to stop the
construction. There being no quorum present to legally pass on the
application, the chairman declared the matter tabled to be taken up at
the next regular meeting.)

Planning Commission authorize Mr. Warder to purchase a suitable frame for
