New Business - Two variance requests have been received and properly posted for hearing at this meeting. T.L.Crumb of 331 East 5th has requested a variance from the alley setback requirements of an RMF zone to enable him to construct a carport on an existing concrete slab on the back of his lot at this address. Floyd Kautz, 2314 South Lincoln Street, has requested a variance from the alley setback requirements of an RS-7 zone to permit him to construct an addition to the west side of an existing non-conforming single family residence. This addition would not project any closer to the alley than the existing building. I have had two inquiries for informational purposes. R.S.Dubigk of 410 East Front inquired about the procedure for getting the heights restrictions in RB zone on the north side of Front Street reduced from an allowable height of 30 feet to 20 feet, to protect the view from the residences on the south side of Front Street. J.F.Woods of 423 East 7th has inquired about the front yard setback for a new single family residence at 415 East 7th Street. All existing dwellings in the area are setback 15 feet or less. His inquiry is whether to maintain the present building line, or setback behind the existing houses. e Council Action ~ The City Council took the following action at its meeting of July 18, 1968. Eva L. Main - 911 Cedar St. - approved Jack Plaskett Jr. - 12th & I - approved 15' setback from I St. Gordon Wray - 1635 W. 5th - patio shelter - approved. At its meeting of August 1, 1968 the City Council established Sept. 5, 1968 as the date for hearing the rezoning request of Nimrod W. anspach. A recommendation from the Planning Commission on this request is desired. (This is the property; ust wes t of 16th and "C" Streets on which Mr. Anspach desires to construct two single family residences). R. P. Willson Recording Secretary - Minutes of Port Angeles Planning Commission of August 6, 1968. 'e Present: Hunt, Anderson, McHone, Driscoll, Dilling and Building Inspector Willson. Absent: Treat, Hankins. Minutes of previous meeting were approved as published. Old Business: Chairman Hunt reported on his contact with Ron Gallauher, property owner abutting the proposed Seamount Estates. Mr. Gallauher had been unaware of the ramifications of the proposed platting as it would affect his property. After discussing the possible development of this general area, Mrs. Gallauher gave Mr. Hunt a letter protesting the subdivision as proposed. e New Business: T.L.Crumb of 331 East 5th Street had requested a variance to permit him to construct a carport on an existing concrete slab which is closer to the alley right-of-way line than permitted in an RMF zone. The members reported on the exist- ing fence and hedge between the alley and proposed carport and felt there would be no alteration of the situation as it presently exists. It was therefore voted to recommend approval of the request to allow a roof to be erected over the existing slab. Floyd Kautz of 2314 South Lincoln Street had requested a variance from the regulation of an RS-7 zone which would enable him to enlarge his existing single family residence which represents a pre-existing, non-conforming building. The present structure sets closer to the alley right-of-way line than per- mitted in this zone. The proposed addition will not be on the alley (north) side of the building, but will project to the west. The Planning Commission members were of the opinion the addition would in no way be detrimental and recommended approval of the variance requested. The City Council having set September 5th as the date for the hearing on a rezoning requested by Nimrod w. Ans~ach had asked the Planning Commission for its recommendation on the request. After discussing the zoning of the tiC" Street area in general. it was recommended that Mr. Anspach request for the rezoning of his most easterly lot (Lot/8, Block 430, Townsite) from 6SD-Cl to RS-7 be approved. Other Business: Informational requests had been received from R. S. Dubigk (regarding allowable building heights), J.F.Woods (regarding front yard setbacks) and Harry Kirner (regarding remodel of non-conforming building). A brief discussion was held on each item but no action taken. 'e No further business was presented and the meeting adiourned at 8:30. Sec. dJ~,1. ~ Harry Hu t. ChalrIDan
