Minutes of the regular meeting of the Port Angeles Planning Commission
August 5th, 1958.
Members present were Hankins, McGee, Reiners, Gort and Strange. Also
present was City Manager Warder.
Minutes or the last meeting were read and approved.
Under unfinished business, the matter of zoning variance application on
Lot 17, Block 70 of McDonald Funeral Home was again brought up for
consideration. A general discussion followed in which all phases of the
problem were brought out. It was pointed out that the paving of the drlve~
way presented no problem as the driveway has been in use for some twenty-
five years. The only problem was whether the open driveway could be
covered and allowing the easterly supports of the cover to be located near
the property line. Inasmuch as the easterly line of Lot-17 1s the dividing
line between zone business one and zone residence two, it was felt by the
members of the Planning Commission, a transition from one zone to another
should be applied. That is to say, the easing of restrictions on both
sides of the line. A practice generally followed by zoning applicationa
throughout the Country. It was agreed by the Commission, the variance
should be allowed permitting the construction of the cover with open post
supports as shown on architects sketch. Post supports to extend back on
lot even with the north~westerly corner of projection of house on Lot~18J
from where louvered sidewall would be permitted. It was unanimously agreed
by the Planning Commission they recommend to the City Council that the
variance be granted as stated above.
Next order of business was consideration of petition from property owners
for the improvement of Caroline Street from Eunice to Francis Streets
and Eunice Street from Georgiana to Caroline Streets with curbs, gutters,
draining and paving. The discussion revealed the impracticability of
improv~ng one block on Eunice Street due to the slope of the terrain. The
Commission believes the area involved in this petition is too small to
rorm an L.I.D. and suggest.that either arrangements be made to make the
job a cash project or enlarge the district to include a normal drainage
area.
A general dianns.sion followed on the improvements needed in the domestic
water system and also the polution problem confronting our City.
Meeting adjourned at 9:30 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
