HTE 16-36 Mike Caudill ) FINDINGS OF FACT, for a Conditional Use Permit ) CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION SUMMARY OF DECISION The application for a conditional use permit to operate a craft distillery and tasting room in a Community Shopping District is APPROVED, subject to conditions. SUMMARY OF RECORD Request: The applicant is proposing to establish and operate a craft distillery and tasting room in a Community Shopping District. Hearing Date: On January 11,2017,a public hearing on the application was conducted before Lauren Erickson, City of Port Angeles Hearing Examiner. Testimony: At the open record hearing the following individuals presented testimony under oath: Jeff Gepper, City of Port Angeles Planning Technician Mike Caudill,applicant Scott Ryals Exhibits: Exhibit 1 Staff Report City of Port Angeles 321 East Fifth Port Angeles, WA 98362 Having reviewed the record in full, including the above referenced exhibits and the testimony of the witnesses, the Hearing Examiner enters the following Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. Theapplicant is seekingto establish and operate a craft distillery and tasting P r1' g room. 2. The subject property is located at 125 Motor Avenue, Port Angeles,Washington, in the Lauridsen Neighborhood District. The property is zoned as Community Shopping District(hereafter, CSD). The subject property is a single lot parcel, with 94 foot lot depth and 80 foot lot width, and is approximately 7520 square feet in area. 3. The property is developed with two structures; one structure is a three story, two unit residential building. The second structure, and the proposed location for the business operation, is a two story,office/storage building. 4. The surrounding area is zoned CSD and RS-7, Residential Single Family. The properties located in the CSD zone contain a restaurant,retail and automotive services and legal non-conforming residences. The abutting property to the north is a vacant parcel,to the west is a legal non-conforming residence, and to the east is a family style restaurant. 5. The properties across Motor Avenue to the south and southwest are residential single family homes. 6. The purpose of the CSD zone is to provide a commercial zone oriented primarily to those businesses serving the daily needs of the surrounding residential zone but is slightly less restrictive than the CN zone and as such provides a transition form the most restrictive commercial zone to those of lesser restriction. Commercial uses largely devoid of any impacts detrimental to the environment are allowed. 7. Examples of uses allowed outright in the CSD zone include art galleries and museums, food item retail stores, specialty shops such as gift stores and florists, medical/dental offices and clinics and laboratories, food and beverage establishments such as restaurants,cocktail lounges and taverns. 8. Examples of uses requiring a conditional use permit in the CSD zone include hotels and motels, clubs and lodges,microbreweries and other uses compatible with this chapter. 2 City of Port Angeles 321 East Fifth Port Angeles,WA 98362 9. The applicant proposes to operate and manufacture spirits from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm,Monday through Friday. The proposed tasting room will be open on Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm. The business operation will employ one person. 10. Pursuant to City of Port Angeles code,the business operation will require four parking spaces,including one that will meet the American with Disabilities Act standards. In order to meet this requirement,the applicant intends to enter into a Cooperative Parking Agreement with the restaurant located to the east of the subject property. 11. The applicant states that the business will not produce any noxious odors, or noise. 12. On January 4,2017,a Determination of Non-Significance was issued for the project. 13. On December 20, 2016,notice of the application and public hearing was published in the Peninsula Daily News. On December 20,2016,notice of the application and public hearing was posted on the subject property and at City Hall. On December 20, 2016,notice of the application and public hearing was mailed to property owners located within 300 feet of the subject property. 14. A copy of the application was circulated to City Departments and the Washington State Department of Ecology and the Olympic Region Clean Air Agency. 15. The Police Department had no comment. The Public Works and Utilities Department commented that the applicant needs to complete and submit an Industrial Wastewater Pretreatment Questionnaire and Disclosure Form. 16. The Washington State Department of Ecology recommended that City staff contact the Olympic Region Clean Air Agency to determine if a notice of construction application is needed for craft distilling operations. 17. The Olympic Region Clean Air Agency stated that based upon the application as submitted,the project will not require a permit from that agency. 18. The Port Angeles Fire Department commented that it is important to recognize that the alcohol produced in the distilling process is considered a Flammable 1 B liquid and approval to operate will be contingent upon review of the requirements set forth in the International Fire and Building codes relating to process and storage below Maximum Allowable Quantities and process and storage Above Maximum Allowable Quantities. 3 City of Port Angeles 321 East Fifth Port Angeles,WA 98362 The Fire Marshall indicated that he/she had spoken to the applicant on several occasions regarding the applicant's intended level of manufacturing and intended quantities to be produced. 19.Two written comments were received from the public and one member of the public spoke at the hearing. Issues raise included lack of parking, odors and loss of view. The primary concern was the risk of fire/explosion in a residential neighborhood. City staff and the applicant responded to the concerns raised at hearing and in the Staff report. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 1. The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction to hear this matter. 2. Notices of the application and public hearing were properly given. 3. Pursuant to PAMC 17.96.050, conditional use permits may granted if consistent and compatible with the purpose of the zone in which the use is located, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and not contrary to the public use and interest. 4. The undersigned hearing examiner concludes the proposal is consistent and compatible with the purpose of the zone in which it is located. The purpose'of the CSD is to serve the daily needs of the surrounding residential zones but is slightly less restrictive than the CN zone and as such provides a transition from the most restrictive commercial zones to those of lesser restrictions. The proposed use may not be what is generally thought of as a"daily need"; however, other uses allowed outright in the CSD zone include activities such as cocktail lounges and taverns (with some restrictions),museums and art galleries, specialty shops, and commercial recreational activities such as bowling alleys and arcades. It would seem that in this context,the term"daily need"is an expansive one and not limited to activities that people/shoppers would find to be essential. Moreover, the proposed use is the kind of commercial activity that helps support a shopping district as a whole. Conditional uses allowed in the CSD include microbreweries,hotels and motels, and clubs and lodges, and other uses consistent with this chapter. In terms of the amount of traffic to be generated and the type of business being proposed, this proposed distillery and tasting room is not much different from a microbrewery or cocktail lounge. In terms of the potential fire hazard,this will be addressed and controlled by strict adherence to the International Fire and Building codes. 5. The undersigned hearing examiner concludes the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. One of the goals of the Comprehensive Plan is"to create 4 City of Port Angeles 321 East Fifth Port Angeles,WA 98362 and maintain a healthy and diverse commercial sector for a balanced and stable local economy."The proposal herein supports this goal. The proposed use is a fresh type of business that helps create diversity of among the City's commercial enterprises. 6. The undersigned hearing examiner concludes there is nothing to indicate the proposal is in any way contrary to the public use and interest. Here again, in terms of the potential fire hazard, this will be addressed and controlled by strict adherence to the International Fire and Building codes. With regard to traffic, it does not appear that this proposal will generate more traffic than any of the allowed outright uses in this zone would. With regard to parking, such considerations are controlled by City code and it appears here that the applicant has met those requirements. 7. In applying the law to the facts of the application,the undersigned hearing examiner concludes that as conditioned,the proposal is consistent with City of Port Angeles conditional use permit requirements and should be approved. DECISION Based upon the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law,the application for a conditional use permit is APPROVED, subject to the following conditions: DECIDED this 18 th day of January,2017. A V - 9)M I jil/� Lauren Erickson, Hearing Examiner CONDITIONS 1. The proposed use shall remain in substantial conformance to the application as submitted. 2.

There is a back story to the property involved that I feel should be brought up. We used to own a home on Motor Ave., we had a beautiful water view as did our neighbors,when the property in question was built, it was built by a then planning commissioner. He built in a fashion that took away all our water views! Everyone lost thousands and thousands of dollars in property value.The planning dept told us we had no recourse because there was no zoning protecting a properties views. I found that hard to believe, because many, many communities have zoning protecting views. I was told the planning commission could not decide on what a view was!!! He built 2 multi story buildings,the 2"d,the one he wants to turn into a tasting room/distillery was ONLY allowed to be used for storage,that is what the planning dept told me.At the time I told them,that I thought there was an appearance of fairness issue and I was outraged that a planning commissioner would choose to build in a way that harmed the neighborhood! I wrote him and he was very rude!!And he was not a good neighbor! In addition I told the planning commission that I thought he had a long term plan for that 2nd building and I felt his overall intention was not to use that building for"storage"only. Well now I see he has applied for a variance to operate a whiskey distillery and tasting room in predominantly residential neighborhood! Really,this is crazy.The city just almost was downgraded for fire insurance and I do not see how you guys can ethically allow this. I am sure a distillery in a residential neighborhood will do wonders for your insurance rating.There is a reason that whiskey distilleries are located away from residential neighborhoods, because no matter how careful he is there is always the risk of explosion!!! And if you have ever smelled how awlful distilling whiskey smells you would never,ever put it in a residential neighborhood.This is terrible and I really feel saddened that my former neighbors who we are still friendly with will have to suffer another decrease in their property values on the back of this individual,who I feel intends to use his former(I am not sure if he is still on the planning commission) to pass this variance.Shame on him! I really feel that if you allow this distillery in the neighborhood,the neighborhood would be ruined! And I believe you will be setting the city up for litigation,especially if there is an explosion,you guys will be liable! And as well you should be if you allow this clearly inappropriate use of property in a mostly residential neighborhood.We no longer live in Port Angeles, but just as I was outraged when he so callously built those multi story units,destroying our views and property values, I am outraged that he now wants to further destroy this neighborhood by operating a distillery. Please your job is help protect the property rights and property values in Port Angeles, not destroy them. I will be at the meeting on Jan 11tH Thank You, Please provide this letter to the hearing examiner. 1 0 0 Caudill Distillery 125 Motor Ave Port Angeles,WA 98362 Mike@acemichaelsinc.com 360-460-6172 Mike, The Distillery will be located at 125 Motor Ave. Building is 19'x60'on the exterior 11'-3" ceiling height build to current commercial codes All exterior doors are steel with steel jams.

Since the time of application,I have spoken with Mike Caudill on a few occasions and he has provided additional information to consider with this application. During our last conversation,Mr.Caudill expressed an interest in reducing the original proposed quantities to below the Maximum Allowable Quantities(MAQ's)as outlined in the IFC[International Fire Code] and IBC [International Building Code]. Mr. Caudill, however, would like further clarification on what the requirements would be if the operations were to expand to a level that exceeded the MAQ's.

The Police Department—City of Port Angeles The Police Department made no comment regarding this development application. The Public Works and Utilities Department—City of Port Angeles On January 3, 2017, the Public Works and Utilities Department made the following comment: "The applicant [needs] to complete and submit an Industrial Wastewater Pretreatment Questionnaire and Disclosure Form to the Public Works and Utilities Department." Public Comment: 4 1 P a g e Conditional Use Permit HTE 16-36 1 125 Motor Avenue Friday,January 06,2017 On January 4, 2017, Planning Staff received two written comments opposing the development application expressing concern regarding the proposed craft distillery and tasting room at 125 Motor Avenue (See Appendix C for the full written comment). The concerns have been summarized into the following five topics: 1. Dangers associated with fire and explosion due to the distilling process; 2. Negative impacts on property value and neighborhood characteristics due to potential noise and smell; 3. Negative effects on pedestrian traffic from added traffic and poorly lit streets; 4. Added dangers and negative impacts associated with parking due to backing out of spots directly onto the street, headlights directed towards residential zoning, added on-street parking congesting causing blocked mailboxes; 5. Questions related to the distillation of alcohol and operation of tasting room are as follows; a. What prevention, precaution, and infrastructure will be in place to mitigate the potential dangers of fire or explosion? b. What are the working conditions,employee hours,attention and plans for distilling alcohol and maintaining a safe workplace? c. Does the operation of a craft distillery,or byproducts,pose a threat to public health in the surrounding area? d. What levels of operation will occur in the tasting room? Specifically, will the operation be allowed to have outdoor parties,music,or serving that exceeds tasting room limitations? e. What signage will be permitted on the proposed use? The citizens' first concerns are related to the potential dangers associated with the operation of a craft distillery in close proximity to a residential area.The Fire Department and Building Division are working together to develop and require fire protection measures and building plans that adhere to the 113C and IFC for such uses.Regulations on the proposed development shall be to the level as to mitigate the potential threat to public health, safety, and welfare. The above mentioned safety requirements will be implemented when the Applicant applies for permits and a certificate of occupancy. The applicant must adhere to all standards of the Clallam County Health Department in order to ensure that there are no health risks associated with the production or final product of distilled spirits. Per the application narrative, the operation is scheduled to operate and manufacture spirits from 8:00 a.m.to 5:00 p.m.Monday through Friday.The tasting room would be open 11:00 a.m.to 7:00 p.m.on Saturday and Sunday,and by appointment.The operation would employ one employee. In regards to traffic safety and congestion,the proposed use has provided the required number of parking spaces for the proposed use per City code.The cooperative parking agreement is intended to alleviate the need for additional imperious surface in the area. The blocking of an on-street mailbox is not illegal under the Port Angeles Municipal Code.It is recommended that owners with this problem contact the United States Postal Service or a legal professional for further investigation into the matter. 5 1 P a g e • 0 . I Conditional Use Permit HTE 16-36 1 125 Motor Avenue Friday,January 06,2017 Per the Washington State Liquor Control Board, a craft distillery and tasting room are limited in the amount of spirits they are allowed to serve a customer. Servings are limited to less than 1/2 oz., with a maximum of 2 oz. of samples per person,per day. The consumption of alcohol,other than the 2 oz. tasting maximum, on premises is not permitted through the use of the property as a craft distillery and tasting room. Every person who participates in the service of samples must obtain a Class 12 Alcohol Server Permit. A craft distillery may apply for a special permit to conduct an event not open to the general public for the purpose of tasting and selling spirits of its own production,in which the permit must be posted in a conspicuous place 10 days prior and during the event. Any signs located on the premises will be according to Section 14.36.070(C) of the Port Angeles Municipal Codes.In addition to these rules and regulations.The applicant shall submit a sign permit before erecting or installing signs for review,conditions of approval,and approval by City Staff. The City's Comprehensive Plan's Land Use Map identifies the area that includes the proposed location of the craft distillery and tasting room as commercial and the zoning map reflects this fact. The area is intended for commercial development,which would include the production and sale of artisan crafted spirits. . APPLICABLE CODE PROVISIONS Zoning The conditional use permit application is being considered under the conditional use title, "Other uses compatible with the intent of this chapter," per Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) 17.22.160(K), because craft distilleries are not explicitly listed in the PAMC. A similar use, microbreweries,are also allowed in the Community Shopping District zone as a conditional use. The Area and Dimensional requirements for the CSD Zone, per 17.22.200 of the PAMC, can be seen in Table 1.3 on page 8. The applicable Design and Landscaping requirements for the CSD Zone are as follows,per Section 17.22.230 of the PAMC: A.All outdoor storage areas,except City mechanized refuse collection system containers, shall be screened from view from public rights-of-way and abutting property by a sight- obscuring fence six feet in height; B. All lighting on the site shall be so directed as to reflect away from adjoining non- commercial property and public rights-of-way; C. A six-foot sidewalk accompanied by a minimum four-foot landscape strip shall be required within the right-of-way adjacent to the front property line as well as adjoining arterial corridors; E. Unused space that is over 24 square feet and that results from the design of parking space arrangements or accessory structures shall be landscaped; 6 1 P a g e Conditional Use Permit HTE 16-36 1 125 Motor Avenue Friday,January 06,2017 F. All required parking areas shall include landscaping of at least one tree for each group of six or fewer parking spaces with a minimum of two trees; Due to the existing driveway and impervious surface at the front of the property,the development would be exempt from being required to provide four-foot landscaping strip (requirement C) and the parking lot tree requirement(requirement F). Parking Table 1.2 lists the relevant uses for required parking associated with the application,per Parking Requirements Table A of Chapter 14.40 of the PANIC. Table 1.2:Parking Requirements LAl 3 USE ]PARKING REQUIRNIENT Banks,professional and business One parking space for each 400 square feet of floor area offices Restaurants,taverns,and any other establishments for the sale and One parking space for each 125 square feet of floor area of consumption of food,alcoholic the building beverages,or refreshments If a use is not otherwise specifically mentioned in this section,the requirements for off-street parking facilities Unspecified Uses shall be the same as the requirements for the most similar use listed herein as determined by the Director of the Department of Community Development. Per Section 14.40.030(D)(2),"Parking requirements may be reduced by ten percent if a bus stop or other mass transit facility is located within 500 feet of the project site." Section 14.40.070 of the PANIC states that, `Parking facilities may be cooperatively used by different land uses, when the times of the use of such parking spaces by each use are not simultaneous. A cooperative parking agreement signed by all parties who share the parking facilities and approved by the Community Development Director shall be required that binds the parking facilities and the parties until the agreement is dissolved by all parties and approved by the Community Development Director." State Environmental Policy Act The City of Port Angeles,as the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA)lead agency is required to review development applications that are not categorically exempt. As part of the conditional use permit application, the applicant completed a SEPA checklist which was reviewed and annotated by staff. The Department of Ecology provided comments on the application,which are detailed in "Departmental Comment" section on page 3 of this report. Based on the minimal impacts to the environment, as evidenced in the SEPA checklist, a Determination of Non- Significance#1384 was issued on January 4,2017. 7 1 P a g e • • , .

Area and Dimensional Requirements As indicated in Table 1.3, the subject property conforms to current Area and Dimensional requirements of the Community Shopping District Zone. Parking Requirements The proposed use and application meet the parking requirements under the current conditions of the application and the proposed cooperative parking agreement. The building has existing office space on the second floor,which occupies about 675 square feet. Therefore there are two parking spaces required by the upstairs office. The craft distillery and tasting room are not a specified use in the Parking Requirements Table. Based on the unspecified use requirement in Table 1.2, the Director of the Department of Community and Economic Development has determined that the most similar use is,"Restaurants, taverns, and any other establishments for the sale and consumption of food, alcoholic beverages, or refreshments."The tasting room is 250 square feet and therefore requires two parking spaces. The total number of required parking spaces is four There is a bus stop located approximately 450-500 feet from the subject property. Therefore, the required number of parking spaces is reduced to 3.6,which still requires 4 full parking spaces. The applicant has area available for three parking spaces on-site, including one Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible parking space. There are an additional six parking spaces available in the parking lot adjacent to the site,located at 122 W.Lauridsen Boulevard.Additional spaces, as needed to meet PAMC parking requirements, will be obtained through a cooperative parking agreement,per PAMC Section 14.40.070. State Environmental Policy Act A Determination of Non-Significance has been issued for this development application. 8 1 P a g e Conditional Use Permit HTE 16-36 1 125 Motor Avenue Friday,January 06,2017 Consistency The proposal is consistent with the relevant sections of the Port Angeles Municipal Code,Zoning Map,and the Comprehensive Plan(See Appendix B).

PAMC Section 14.40.030(1))(2)states that"Parking requirements may be reduced by ten percent if a bus stop or other mass transit facility is located within 500 feet of the project site." PAMC Chapter 14.40 Table A states that manufacturing uses have the following off-street parking requirements, "One parking space for each three employees with a minimum of ten spaces." PANIC Section 14.40.070 allows for cooperative parking agreements under the following requirements,"Parking facilities may be cooperatively used by different land uses,when the times of the use of such parking spaces by each use are not simultaneous. A cooperative parking agreement signed by all parties who share the parking facilities and approved by the Community Development Director shall be required that binds the parking facilities and the parties until the agreement is dissolved by all parties and approved by the Community Development Director." Title 17-Zoning The Zoning Ordinance is the primary implementing ordinance for the Comprehensive Plan. It establishes what types of uses are permitted and where they may be located in the City. It also establishes definitions of uses,and minimum design standards for such uses. Like the Comprehensive Plan,any project proposed in the City must be consistent with the regulations of the zone in which it is located. The Zoning Map identifies the subject property as Community Shopping District Zone. PANIC Section 17.22.010 states that the purpose of the Community Shopping District zone as "This is a commercial zone oriented primarily to those businesses serving the daily needs of the surrounding residential zones but is slightly less restrictive than the CN Zone and as such provides a transition area from the most restrictive commercial zones to those of lesser restrictions. Businesses in this zone may occur on sites of varying sizes and shall be located at the intersections of arterial streets of sufficient size to satisfy traffic demand and at the boundaries of neighborhoods so that more than one neighborhood may be served.Commercial uses that are largely devoid of any impacts detrimental to the environment are allowed. Service stations with petroleum products are permitted uses.This zone provides the basic urban land use pattern for large lot,commercial uses serving much of the City with direct access on an arterial street and design standards for greater automobile and truck traffic." PAMC Section 17.22.160 lists "Other uses compatible with the intent of this chapter," as a conditional use. Similar uses to a craft distillery and tasting room include "Microbreweries" and "restaurants with cocktail lounges." 141Page Conditional Use Permit HTE 16-36 1 125 Motor Avenue Friday,January 06,2017 PANIC Section 17.22.230 requires that"All lighting on the site shall be so directed as to reflect away from adjoining non-commercial property and public rights-of-way." and that "All required parking areas shall include landscaping of at least one tree for each group of six or fewer parking spaces with a minimum of two trees, exclusive of any required perimeter landscaping," and that"A six-foot sidewalk accompanied by a minimum four-foot landscape strip shall be required within the right-of- way adjacent to the front property line as well as adjoining arterial corridors." PANIC Section 17.96.050 states that "A. The Hearing Examiner shall consider applications for conditional use permits of uses as specified in the applicable chapter of the zoning regulations.The Hearing Examiner may grant said permits that are consistent and compatible with the purpose of the zone in which the use is located, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan,and not contrary to the public use and interest. The Hearing Examiner may refuse to issue a conditional use permit if the characteristics of the intended use as related to the specific proposed site are such as would defeat the purpose of these zoning regulations by introducing incompatible, detrimental or hazardous conditions," and that `B. In each application the Hearing Examiner may impose whatever restrictions or conditions they consider essential to protect the public health, safety and welfare,and to prevent depreciation of neighboring property." PAMC Section 17.96.050(C)states that the purpose of the conditional use permit is"to assure that the maximum degree of compatibility between uses shall be attained. The purpose of these regulations shall be maintained with respect to the particular use of the particular site and in consideration of other existing and potential uses within the general area in which such use is to be located." PAMC Section 17.96.070(D)states that"All conditional or unclassified use permits shall become void one year from the date of granting such permits if use of the land or buildings or applying for necessary building permits(s)has not taken place in accordance with the provisions in granting said requests." 15Page • HTO-0036 Staff Report Appendix C POR7 �\ /, APPLICATION FEES: J OFFICE USE OIYLY Standard CUP $500&$350 Date Recd 6 SEPA=$850 *** ***,►*#****#**� «t***�* ® File# Administrative CUP (retail HTE# stand,home occupations,B&B) CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT $200&$125 SEPA =$325 APPLICATION Received bv: iiiiiii iiCCCi..Lii.iii.iiiiiiCiiiiiiii ......iiGiiC�i'• **IMPORTANT GENERAL INFORMATION #PLEASE READ ** Only completed applications will be accepted.To be considered complete, an application must include all of the following information: 1.

My family has a long back ground in distilled spirits.Jim Caudill my father was the 3'licensed distillery in Washington State(Golden Distillery)winning many awards from here to Tennessee. He operated it until his passing last year using a 60 gallon still.Ironically it was sold to to people from Kentucky. They then moved the operations there changing the name.Golden Distillery produced about 10,000 bottles annually.This is about the maximum amount that you can yield with a 60 gallon still that produces about 5 gallons a day per 50 gallons of product ran through the still.You might think that this is a lot but it is a very small amount.They produced there batches in about 3/the space that I'm proposing with room to spare. The still That we will put on order once the conditional use permit is approved will be the same size 60 gallon still.A still needs to be on order to submit a TTB federal distillery application.There not cheap. A state liquor license has been applied for. We will use over 90%Washington raw materials and supplies.Washington has the best by far. The distillery: Making whiskey,the primary product that will be distilled is as simple as making 50 gallons of beer.Letting it ferment till it reaches around 9%alcohol level,Run it through the still.Put it in an oak barrel to age,remove it from the barrel when ready,dilute it to the desired proof,and bottle it. This process is very easy.The hard part is getting a good receipt and duplicating it over and over. Close to 0 noise will result from making it. The Tasting room: Per Federal guide lines in a tasting room like this one you can only give your customer%i oz total to taste.Then you hope they like it and sale them a bottle.You can not mix it in any way.That would make you a bar selling mixed drinks.I do not have any desire in that at all. So very little will be consumed on the premises. The tasting room would be open on Saturday and Sunday 11 am to 7pm and by appointment. The distillery would manufacture Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm I have included a building print with the distillery area,storage area,and the tasting room area with Sq.footage.

Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE smartphone ,3 i E From: - Date: 1/44737- :00) To: Nathan West<Nwest@cityofpa.us> Subject: Motor Ave Variance for whiskey distillery and tasting room Hello, I am writing concerning the above application for a variance to operate a whiskey distillery and tasting room. There is a back story to the property involved that I feel should be brought up. We used to own a home on Motor Ave., we had a beautiful water view as did our neighbors,when the property in question was built,it was built by a then planning commissioner. He built in a fashion that took away all our water views! Everyone lost thousands and thousands of dollars in property value.The planning dept told us we had no recourse because there was no zoning protecting a properties views.I found that hard to believe, because many, many communities have zoning protecting views. I was told the planning commission could not decide on what a view was!!! He built 2 multi story buildings,the 2nd,the one he wants to turn into a tasting room/distillery was ONLY allowed to be used for storage,that is what the planning dept told me.At the time I told them,that I thought there was an appearance of fairness issue and I was outraged that a planning commissioner would choose to build in a way that harmed the neighborhood! I wrote him and he was very rude!!And he was not a good neighbor! In addition I told the planning commission that I thought he had a long term plan for that 2"d building and I felt his overall intention was not to use that building for"storage"only.Well now I see he has applied for a variance to operate a whiskey distillery and tasting room in predominantly residential neighborhood! Really,this is crazy.The city just almost was downgraded for fire insurance and I do not see how you guys can ethically allow this. I am sure a distillery in a residential neighborhood will do wonders for your insurance rating.There is a reason that whiskey distilleries are located away from residential neighborhoods, because no matter how careful he is there is always the risk of explosion!!!And if you have ever smelled how awlful distilling whiskey smells you would never,ever put it in a residential neighborhood.This is terrible and I really feel saddened that my former neighbors who we are still friendly with will have to suffer another decrease in their property values on the back of this individual,who I feel intends to use his former(I am not sure if he is still on the planning commission) to pass this variance.Shame on him! I really feel that if you allow this distillery in the neighborhood,the neighborhood would be ruined! And I believe you will be setting the city up for litigation,especially if there is an explosion,you guys will be liable!And as well you should be if you allow this clearly inappropriate use of property in a mostly residential neighborhood.We no longer live in Port Angeles,but just as I was outraged when he so callously built those multi story units,destroying our views and property values, I am outraged that he now wants to further destroy this neighborhood by operating a distillery. Please your job is help protect the property rights and property values in Port Angeles, not destroy them. I will be at the meeting on Jan llm Thank You,Please provide this letter to the hearing examiner. 1 HTE 16-0036 Staff Report Appendix C I f f 0.4) JAN Comments reguarding the proposed distillery and tasting room on otos Ave. Effects on pedestrian traffic i Motor Ave.was originally put in as a residential street and,as such,it is relatively narrow. When there are vehicles parked parallel and oppisite to each other the space left available for driving is diminished to the point that vehicles meeting one another have barely enough room to safely pass. But for a vary short strech in front of the appartment building and thegarage next to it ithere are no sidewalks on Motor Ave.that are available to any foot traffic coming to or from the closest bus stop,the grade school,the high school,the library and local churches. Except at the eastern and western intersections there are no streetlights on Motor Ave. It is a very dark street at night. Persons attempting to back out of any of the three parking spaces in front of the building will find that they have very limited visibility to see possible oncoming vehicles in either direction. This is because of the garage behind Toga's restraunt to the east and the garage and tree on the next property to the west. I belive that adding more traffic to Motor Ave.will present a signficant and unnecessary increase in danger to pedestrians. i Other effects i Because of the dangerous parking situation(see above)people familiar with the place regularly back into the parking spaces for better visibility when they pull back onto the street.Frequently my driveway is used as the place to get turned around to line up for backing into the parking spaces. When this occurs after dark people's headlights shine directly into my home; illuminating 2 bedrooms and the Iiving room with very bright light. People living in the apartment building across the street from me often park on the south side of Motor Ave.;in front of my and the neighboring homes. It makes sense because it is the shortest distance to walk to their doors. I expect that this will happen with the cars of customers to the tasting room. This is fine when there is space available. However, when there isn't enough room to legally park,people sometimes park anyway. Usually this means encroaching on my driveway and/or blocking my mailbox or the boxes of other homes on the street. It is a federal offense to block a mailbox. When a mailbox is blocked the mail is not delivered. r ` • HTE 16-0036 Staff Report Attachment C Unanswered Questions Reguarding the distillery How large of a volume of alcohol will be stored on site?

Since the time of application, I have spoken with Mike Caudill on a few occasions and he has provided additional information to consider with this application. During our last conversation, Mr.Caudill expressed an interest in reducing the original proposed quantities to below the Maximum Allowable Quantities(MAQ's)as outlined in the IFC and IBC. Mr.Caudill, however,would like further clarification on what the requirements would be if the operations were to expand to a level that exceeded the MAQ's. In review of this application, it is important to recognize that the Alcohol produced in the distilling process is considered a Flammable 1B liquid. Approval to operate will be contingent upon review of items listed below as well as all other code provisions within the IFC and IBC. Process and storage below Maximum Allowable Quantities as outlined in IFC and IBC: • Provide a detailed process analysis that includes operating procedures, materials/appliances used,and outlines provisions to ensure that operations are conducted in a safe manner. • Occupancy Classification: F1 -Applicable occupancy separations need to be maintained • Distilling room cannot exceed 30 gallons open product without installation of fire sprinklers • Mechanical ventilation will need to be provided in both the distilling and storage rooms • Electrical boxes and connections will need to be approved for flammable atmosphere • Still is custom made and no spec sheet is available.—Per Mike Caudill,the electric heating element is UL rated but no other details are available outlining the design.Still design and operation will need to be approved for safe operation and may be subject to L&I inspection and approval.

The process of approving a distillery is much more detailed and I will need more information from the applicant prior to allowing distilling operations. The applicant should be aware that additional fire safety measures may be required. The Alcohol produced is considered a flammable liquid and is therefore governed by very specific regulations in the International Fire Code for use and storage. Unfortunately,there have been some very serious fires involving the distilling process and I will need more detailed information prior to approving operations. Some of the items I need additional information on: 1. Provide spec sheets on the distilling machine that include installation,venting, and clearances 2. Quantity of liquid storage at anyone time and how stored,(wooden barrels vs.closed drums) Thanks Mike Sanders Assistant Chief/Fire Marshal 360-417-4651 (Office ) 360-477-0026(Cell) msanders@cityofpa.us From:Jeffrey Gepper Sent:Tuesday, December 20, 201610:00 AM To:James Lierly<Jlierly@cityofpa.us>; Eric Walrath <Ewalrath@cityofpa.us>; Brian Smith<Bsmith@cityofpa.us>; Mike Sanders<Msanders@cityofpa.us> Cc:Allyson Brekke<Abrekke@cityofpa.us> Subject: Notice of Development Application-CUP for Distillery/Tasting Room Good Morning, This email is to inform you all that DCED has received and is in process of reviewing a Conditional Use Permit application for the operation of a Distillery and Tasting Room at 125 Motor Avenue in the Community Shopping District Zone.

My family has a long back ground in distilled spirits.Jim Caudill my father was the 3`d licensed distillery in Washington State(Golden Distillery)winning many awards from here to Tennessee. He operated it until his passing last year using a 60 gallon still. Ironically it was sold to to people from Kentucky. They then moved the operations there changing the name. Golden Distillery produced about 10,000 bottles annually.This is about the maximum amount that you can yield with a 60 gallon still that produces about 5 gallons a day per 50 gallons of product ran through the still.You might think that this is a lot but it is a very small amount.They produced there batches in about '/the space that I'm proposing with room to spare. The still That we will put on order once the conditional use permit is approved will be the same size 60 gallon still.A still needs to be on order to submit a TTB federal distillery application.There not cheap. A state liquor license has been applied for. We will use over 90%Washington raw materials and supplies.Washington has the best by far. The distillery: Making whiskey,the primary product that will be distilled is as simple as making 50 gallons of beer. Letting it ferment till it reaches around 9%alcohol level,Run it through the still.Put it in an oak barrel to age,remove it from the barrel when ready,dilute it to the desired proof,and bottle it. This process is very easy.The hard part is getting a good receipt and duplicating it over and over. Close to 0 noise will result from making it. The Tasting room: Per Federal guide lines in a tasting room like this one you can only give your customer% oz total to taste.Then you hope they like it and sale them a bottle.You can not mix it in any way.That would make you a bar selling mixed drinks. I do not have any desire in that at all. So very little will be consumed on the premises. The tasting room would be open on Saturday and Sunday 11 am to 7pm and by appointment. The distillery would manufacture Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm I have included a building print with the distillery area, storage area,and the tasting room area with Sq. footage. I have 3 parking spots proposed in a parking plan 1)ADA and 2)general with 6 more general that would be shared with Togas Soup house restaurant directly to the East and outlined in the parking plan. A 10%parking credit is giving to us for a bus stop with in 500'. This new Business would employ one person.The distiller and a clerk for the tasting room. Toga and I have spoken about a shared parking plan and one can be submitted on condition of the approval of this application.

Environmental Checklist • • EVALUATION FOR Page 13 AGENCY USE Endangered Species Act (ESA) Supplemental Checklist Answer to the best of your knowledge. This checklist was developed to help project proponents and government agencies identify when a project needs further analysis regarding potential adverse effects on Endangered Species as required by the Endangered Species Act(ESA). For our purposes, "ESA listed species" are any species listed as endangered, threatened, or being considered for listing. This supplemental checklist is for all development within ESA Potential Impact Areas, which include the following locations: • Federal Emergency Management Act(FEMA)designated floodplain and/or floodway areas; • Riparian Buffer Zones(RBZ) as described by the Dept of Natural Resources 2007 stream typing system and WDFW's 1997 stream buffer guidelines; and/or • Channel Migration Zones(CMZ) plus 50' as identified according to Dept of Ecology 2003). If ESA listed species are present or ever were present within the ESA Potential Impact Area where your project will be located, your project has the potential for affecting them, and you must comply with the ESA. The questions in this section will help determine if your proposed project could have an impact. The Port Angeles regional watershed is an area where several endangered species have historically been present. Please answer the following questions to the best of your knowledge to assist the city in determining if your project will have adverse impacts to ESA species or their habitats. Port Angeles Community and Economic Development Department staff can provide technical assistance in answering the following questions in this checklist. If necessary, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife(WDFW) regional office can also provide information to help you answer these questions.

AGENCY USE Endangered Species Act (ESA) Supplemental Checklist Answer to the best of vour knowledge. This checklist was developed to help project proponents and government agencies identify when a project needs further analysis regarding potential adverse effects on Endangered Species as required by the Endangered Species Act (ESA). For our purposes, "ESA listed species" are any species listed as endangered, threatened, or being considered for listing. This supplemental checklist is for all development within ESA Potential Impact Areas, which include the following locations: • Federal Emergency Management Act (FEMA) designated floodplain and/or floodway areas; • Riparian Buffer Zones (RBZ) as described by the Dept of Natural Resources 2007 stream typing system and WDFW's 1997 stream buffer guidelines; and/or • Channel Migration Zones (CMZ) plus 50' as identified according to Dept of Ecology 2003). If ESA listed species are present or ever were present within the ESA Potential Impact Area where your project will be located, your project has the potential for affecting them, and you must comply with the ESA. The questions in this section will help determine if your proposed project could have an impact. The Port Angeles regional watershed is an area where several endangered species have historically been present. Please answer the following questions to the best of your knowledge to assist the city in determining if your project will have adverse impacts to ESA species or their habitats. Port Angeles Community and Economic Development Department staff can provide technical assistance in answering the following questions in this checklist. If necessary, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) regional office can also provide information to help you answer these questions. PROJECT SPECIFICS: The questions in this section are specific to the project and vicinity. 1. Do you know of any endangered species or WDFW priority species on or in the vicinity of your project?
