IV PUBLIC HEARINGS CONDITIONAL USE HEARING - GLADYS PRESSLEY: Request to allow an adult boarding home for elderly residents to locate in the RS-7, Single-Family Residential District. Location: 1017 West 17th Street. (This item continued from the August 12, 1987, meeting.) Mr. Miller reviewed the memorandum. Mr. Glass moved to remove the item from the agenda because the request did not qualify as a permitted or conditional use in that zone under the Zoning Code. Mr. Hulett seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. SHORELINE MANAGEMENT HEARING - CITY OF PORT ANGELES: Request to dig or drill three test wells for subsurface water sampling to determine any downgradient contamina- tion from the Landfill site. Location: On the beach at the base of the present City Landfill site, West 18th Street. (Continued from August 12, 1987.) Mr. Miller reviewed the Department Report. Chairman Lemon opened the public hearing. Bob Jones of the Public Works Department explained that three holes would be drilled on the beach and one upland from the Landfill site. The purpose of the upland well was . . . PLANNING COMMISSION September 9, 1987 Page 2 to determine the quality of the ground water prior to its traversing the Landfill. The upland hole is outside Shore- line Management Act jurisdiction. The proposal complies with DOE standards. Mr. Jones also provided a brief review of the history of the Landfill and what is in store in the future. Chairman Lemon closed the public hearing following further questions. Mr. Glass moved to recommend granting the Shoreline Substan- tial Development Permit, citing the following findings: A. The proposal at this location will not materially interfere with the normal public use of the water or shorelines of the State. B. The proposed use, located in an isolated area will result in three minor structures, approximately 6" (six inches) wide by 24" (twenty-four inches) high. As such, this proposal will not cause a sight problem, create a fire hazard or otherwise impact any existing land use in the immediate vicinity or zone. C. The proposal is a system designed to indicate whether an existing use (the Port Angeles Landfill) can affect the ground water quality in the immediate vicinity. Therefore, the proposal can be seen as a potential benefit to the public health, safety and welfare. Mr. Hulett seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. STREET VACATION HEARING - OLYMPIC VISTAS: Request to vacate a portion of Vine Street abutting Lot 11, Block 16, and Lot 10, Block 11, puget Sound Cooperative Colony's 2nd Addition to Port Angeles.

Follow- ing a brief discussion among staff, the Commission and Ms. Johnson, Chairman Lemon closed the public hearing. Mr. Hulett moved to recommend granting the street vacation, citing the following findings: A. Vacation will not affect circulation patterns, public safety, or development patterns because Vine Street has been developed west of the subject right-of-way and . . . PLANNING COMMISSION September 9, 1987 Page 3 portion of the Vine Street right-of-way north and south have already been vacated. B. Vacation would remove any question as to ownership of the subject right-of-way. Mr. Glass seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. V COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC None.
