Minutes of Port Angeles Planning Commission meeting of October
15, 1968.
Present: Hunt, Anderson, Treat, Dilling, Driscoll, McHone, Hankins,
and Building Inspector Willson
Absent: None
Minutes of previous meeting were approved as received.
Old Business - None
New Business - Mr. E. M. Bennett, 719 South Washington Street had
requested a variance from the regulations of an RS-7 zone to allow
him to construct an addition to an existing, non-conforming, single
family residence. Members of the Planning Commission felt the
proposed addition would not intensify the non-conforming situation
to any objectionable degree and voted to recommend approval of the
variance as requested.
Mr. Stanley H. Sherman, 125 Oakcrest, had requested a variance
from the front yard set-back requirements of an RS-7 zone to
enable him to construct a double carport on the front of his
house. The area is a subdivision which is platted without alleys
and affords only one access to the property. The planning Com-
mission members recognized that Mr. Sherman had no other choice
of location for the carport. Upon being assured that the structure
is to remain opensided, the Planning Commission voted to recommend
approval of a front yard set-back of 19 feet from the north margin
of Oakcrest, instead of the 25' required.
Old Business - The City Council had referred a request of Mr.
John A. Kochanek and Michael Kochanek for the vacation of "All
Street' lying between Lot 10 Block 98 Townsi te and Lot 1 Block 103
Townsite, to the Planning Commission for recommendation. This
same request had been considered at the January 16, 1968 meeting.
The members still were of the opinion that vacation of this portion
of "A" Street would be of no benefit to the general community and
voted to recommend the request be denied. The secretary was in-
structed" to inform Mr. Kochanek that this portion of "A" Street
could be used by him for parking purposes until such time as the
City might need to use the area.
A discussion was opened concerning requests for adding living area
to mobile homes by the construction of accessory wood-frame build-
ings. Generally, these are detached accessory buildings such as
storage sheds, garages, carports, etc., but recently inquiries had
been received for construction of additional rooms. The discussion
was for informational purposes and no formal action was required.

RE: Meeting scheduled for October 15, 1968
Old Business - None that I know of.
New Business - Three variance requests have been received
and properly posted for hearing at this time. (One of these
requests, concerning a mobile home, has since been withdrawn).
Mr. E. M. Bennett, 719 South Washington Street, has requested
a variance which would permit him to enlarge an existing, non-
conforming single family residence, by squaring up a jog on
the northwest corner of his house, and constructing a wood
deck toward the north.
.
Mr. Stanley H. Sherman, 125 Oakcrest, has requested a
variance to construct a double carport closer to the street
right of way than permitted in a residential zone. The car-
port is to be 241x 241 and built on the south side of the
existing house toward the southeast corner.

Other Business
The City Council has received another requp.st from John and
Michal Kochanek to vacate "A" Street at Third Street. This
petition was drawn up by Chamberlin and Johnson attorneys.
Previously this same item had been discussed at the 1/16/68
meeting and the members were opposed to such a vacation.
I have had two inquiries within the past two weeks concerning
mobile homes. Both of these parties desire to construct small
wood frame structures to enlarge the living area of their
trailers. Previously this type of request has been confined
to the construction of patios, carports, utility and storage
sheds, garages or some combination thereof. One of these re-
quests involves a trailer on a city lot under a variance (at 7th
and "A" St); the other involves a trailer in an RIp zone (at
14th and MacDonald). I find nothing in the zoning ordinance
that seems to cover this situation.
