Minutes of the Port Angeles Planning Commission meeting of September
2,,1969.
Present: Hunt, McHone, Treat, Dilling, Anderson, Driscoll, Hankins
and Building Inspector Willson,
Absent:
None
The meeting was opened at 7:30 P.M. in the Municipal Chambers.
Minutes of the previous meeting were approved as received.
Old Business - There was no old business scheduled.
New Business - A. Ward Piercy had applied for a Conditional Use
Permit and variance to allow him to convert the ground floor of a
pre-existing, non-conforming single family residence to an apartment,
making the building a duplex. The ~uilding is located at 914 So.
Race Street in an RS-7 zone. Mr. Piercy was present and a lengthy
discussion followed. Items covered were the fact that two single
family residences already are situated on the same 50' x 140' lot,
and insufficient off-street is provided. Mr. Piercy indicated
that he also owns the next lot, abutting on the west. If necessary,
Mr. Piercy felt he could provide the required parking on this
abutting lot. The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval
of the Conditional Use permit and the variance, provided the abutting
lot is made an integral portion of the site with no future separation
of Lot 2 from Lot 1; also bat Mr. Piercy contact the Director of
Public Works and develope this Lot 2 as per his requir~ments, to
provide and maintain permenant off-street parking facilities for the
three dwelling units on Lot 1. The off-street parking is toobe
developed prior to application for the permits necessary to accll.lmplish
the remodeling. Should the off-street parking be eliminated at some
future date, the Conditional Use Permit and variance are to be
automatically voided.
B & B Builders had requested a variance from the regulations
of an RS-7 zone to permit them to construct an addition to the pre-
existing, non-conforming single family residence located at 727 West
4th Street, and also to construct a carport to one foot from the
property line. This request is similar to one which had been
considered in December of 1968 and January 1969 for this property,
although details of ' the new request differed. Following a lengthy
discussion, it was voted to tableethis request until the meeting of
September 16th, 1969. The members of the Planning Commission felt
this would result in excessive crOWding, elimination of open areas
and fire lanes. Mr. Bill McNeece of B&B Builders was instructed to
review the proposed plans with his clients and try to develope an
alternate project which would overcome these objections.
Other Business - Mr. Jack Loewen was in to discuss off-street parking
requirements and alterations made to his property, Laurel Lanes
Bowling alley, located on the southwest corner of 8th and Laurel
Streets. Mr. Loewen's problems were discussed at some length, and
he was advised to make a formal application for variances from the
requirements of the off-street parking regulations and the zoning
regulations of the CSD-Cl zone. No official action could be taken
at this meeting.

Minutes - Planning Commission
Sept. 2, 1969
page 2.
Mr. Larry Enger, of Enger Construction Company was in,
on behalf ot Orowheat Inc. to discuss their proposal to open a
retail outlet and distribution facility on the southwest corner of
8th and Pine Streets. After considering Orowheat's proposal the
Planning Commission members were of the opinion the intended operation
was within the requirements of the CSD-Cl zone and no action was
required.
Mrs. Eleanor Priest was in relative to her request for
the vacation of the alley in Block 186 Townsite. She felt the
vacation of the west 220 feet, as recommended by the Planning
Commission based upon the memorandum from the City Light Department
was inadequate; ilso, that the price set upon the land was
excessive. The Commission advised Mrs. Priest that they had nothing
to do with establishing the value of the property, and that they
were further reluctant to vacate a greater portion of this alley if
the Light Department felt this amount would be needed for proper
installation and maintenance of their facilities.
No further business was presented and the meeting was adjourned at
9:00 P.M.
