I am not sure whether the City is demanding the improvement or whether the City if caving to the residences who don't like TAFY. I don't believe parking on the street is the real issue. I allowed the deduction of$416 from your December rent in the spirit of generosity; and admiration for your work. I will not argue the question of the=market value for the rental of the church. Undoubtedly, those arguing the excessiveness of my rent would be anxious to buy that property for their own account to enjoy such a bonanza. I would like-to-see-the•eviderice of the commercial--- brokers assessment of my property. Please keep in mind after all, these years, I have-not asked for an increase in rent which is expected in the real estate market.' -, I am a good landlord and TAFY has''been a good renter. Failing to contribute further toyour excellent cause is no "slap in the face" but'one might think that your heated rhetoric is such a gesture. I trust this is a problem that will be resolved.

I think that this cannot wait to show you at our next board meeting in May. What do you think of the letter? Susan is seriously thinking about looking for a different place to move to. Keep praying! Dear Sara, This letter is about the parking lot that the city is requiring be built at your property 711 E. 2 nd that we rent from you. As the landlord, this expense should really be entirely your bill to pay. It is a city requirement, not ours. As you know in the past, we have generously offered to pay half. You should realize, that if we moved out, you would have to pay the bill in it's entirety on your own. You would be unable to have any other renter operate at that address without first having to get that accomplished. Since we would work on supplying the labor(which usually is more than half the bill), and other expenses,we thought you would be very happy. So imagine our dismay,when we hear you saying that you cannot(or will not)pay your part. This is very alarming to us. Our finances are limited, and we can barely pay what we promised- let alone your part. We are a non-profit organization, helping the homeless, and spending money to improve your property, is a true gift from us to you. I've enclosed a copy of the letter we sent to you in November of last year. In it is clearly talks about the parking lot project, and we said that you would pay for the improvements. We asked for you to call us if you wanted to discuss it further. We have heard nothing from you about this until now, and by inference, we assumed that meant you agreed to it. If you think that you have paid your part,by giving us a cut rate on the rent—you are wrong. I've also enclosed a letter i wrote to you in January. In that letter, I told you that I have contacted several real estate agents, and property land management agencies. Every single one of them said that you are charging us the high end of the current market rates-by charging us $1000.00 a month rent. You are lucky to get that. To think that you would ever get$ 2000.00 a month rent is delusional in today's market. Please feel free to investigate it on your own if you think.I am wrong. We have improved and repaired many things on this property on our own from, new kitchen counters and sink, remodeling the bathroom to add a shower, and installing washer and dryer hook ups, installing new kitchen flooring and many electrical and plumbing repairs. I can imagine other renters would be making you pay for many things that we have simply taken care of That building is an old building, and many things do break down, and we repair them on our own. We feel like you are slapping us in the face,by your responses. We can not pay to improve your property more than we have already agreed to. If you won't pay the rest, I do not know what more can be done by us. Please contact us ASAP and discuss this further.

Poured on November 9, 2013.p jW-. t" CONFIDEnAL _ NOV -7 2013 To whom this may concern, ' CITY OF PART ANGELE I am writing this letter regarding TAFY 711 E 2nd street. I have lived at my ho �t�tC2@ MPE4e e been doing volunteer work for a local agency that helps needy families in our town for 13yrs.. I do realize that there a people that do need and use these agencies. I feel that the more places there are for needy people available in our community ultimately hurts our town. By this I mean homeless or"at risk"people get relocated here because of all the agencies available in our town. Because of this, bringing more homeless and at risk people to our beautiful town. I am writing this letter because the last time I attended a city meeting regarding TAFY, I spoke in front of everyone at the meeting stating how I felt about TAFY moving to our neighborhood. After the meeting I was accosted outside the doors of the meeting by the ladies in charge of TAFY. They wanted to argue with me because I didn't see things their way. They said they wanted to be closer to the people at risk and give them hugs. Which they couldn't do at the Serenity house dream center. The location of TAFY is poorly planned. It is located close to the Dream park(skate park), Jesse Webster park, and the YMCA where many children go. The type of people that go to TAFY aren't ones that I would want my children to be around. I'm not sure how TAFY monitors or cares to see if sex offenders or people of that nature attend their place. My son was attending church, when one of the ladies in charge of TAFY invited him to go there to TAFY. My son was only 11 yrs. old at the time and not even close to being homeless. I don't know if it's to try to get more kids there or what the motive was, but I feel it isn't a safe place for good kids to be. I see many questionable people over there daily. -Yes I mean daily, even when they're not open. They are smoking, making drug deals, and talking and/or yelling with very offensive language. They arrive at all hours of the day and night. Before TAFY opens, and after hours when they have AA meetings there. I hear people and car doors slamming every night around 10pm -midnight or so. When TAFY is open they serve food there(which is good, but they also serve food 4 blocks down at the Salvation Army church). I watch people go into TAFY for a bit, come out with food, and then leave their trash in our parking strip or on our lawns. When we first moved into the neighborhood, it was a peaceful place to live and a great place to raise children. Scince TAFY has moved in, I see"druggies"and"shady' people daily. Our neighborhood has had a problem lately with people breaking into backyards and garages. My husband recently and to call the police twice because there was signs of transients staying in our neigbors garage. The house is up for sale and has been empty for some time now. On Oct. 31st, there was a transient sitting in the backyard of that house in front of the garage. An officer actually talked to the man after my husband called the police on that occasion. Renters in the house directly nextdoor to TAFY don't stay long as soon as they realize all the problems that come along with being neighbors to TAFY. When my husband talked to that new neighbor there, she said that her garage had also been broken into. She was complaining about the people and the parking situation. She's only been there a few months and has young children. She probably wont stay long either. I don't let my son, nieces, nephew or any children play in our frontyard or ride thier bikes up and down the sidewalk because of the people that go to TAFY and hang out in front of the place and in the parkinglot. Nov. 1 st a little before midnight, the police were called there before the meeting ended. I know this because I heard a female talking to the officer. The next afternoon, they were there again for a different reason. If the ladies that run TAFY could work with other agencies in our town, it could make and help them better. Rather than creating another place for the"needy"to bounce to and from. Begging for donations&volunteers for thier place takes away from supporting the already well established organizations and agencies in our community. First steps family support center, Salvation Army, Foodbank, and Serenity house dream center are just some of the organizations that help the needy in our area and provide more services than TAFY, including case management, food, hygene items, clothing, shower, laundry, phone, computers and short term overnight stays. most of the agencies are walking distance from TAFY. TAFY deosn't provide anything different. Just a nuisance to our neighborhood. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

GELES ,- W A S H I N G T O N, U. S. A. DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO: Planning Commission FROM: Scott K. Johns DATE: November 13, 2013 RE: The Answer For Youth (TAFY) CUP extension APPLICANT: Susan Hilgren OWNER: Sara Lee O'Connor LOCATION: 711 E. 2nd Street REQUEST: Extension of Conditional Use Permit CUP 09-06 A youth outreach center in the Commercial Office zone RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Division recommends that the Planning Commission approve a further extension of CUP 09-06 with 2 conditions, citing 7 findings and 4 conclusions in support of the action. EXISTING CONDITIONS IN AREA: Conditions in the general area have not changed since the original CUP approval on September 9, 2009. The Answer For Youth (TAFY)has been operating on the site since the original Conditional Use Permit was issued in 2009. The access to the required parking area has been gated in the past so that access is from the alley rather than from Second Street. The access restriction was to ensure parking lot material (gravel)was not dragged onto Second Street prior to improvement of the required off street parking area. The Second Street access improvement is currently. TAFY's parking area remains unpaved but has been graveled and graded. DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: City Departments reviewed the proposal and provided the following comments: The Fire Department had no comments or objections to the CUP extension. The Public Works and Utilities Department approved the phased parking lot improvements and had no additional comments or concerns. Community&Economic Development Department Staff Report November 13,2013 CUP 09-06 Extension—The Answer For Youth Page 2 PUBLIC COMMENT: Public notice of the extension request was mailed to neighboring property owners on October 23, 2013, the site was posted on October 25, and public notice appeared in the Peninsula Daily News on October 28 per Section 17.96.140 PAMC. ANALYSIS: TAFY has been in continual operation at the site since permit approval on September 9, 2009. Conditions of the original approval have been met with the exception of completion of paving the parking lot. Although the parking area remains graveled,the project proponent has made progress toward paving in that a design engineer has been recruited for development and a local paving company has agreed to do the work. However,that work must wait until the spring of 2014 to begin due to pending obligations and anticipated winter weather conditions. The project proponent has reached agreement with the City's Public Works and Utilities Department and Community and Economic Development Department to complete the paving in a phased manner over a subsequent 3 year period. This agreement requires that 911 square feet of the parking area be final surfaced during each of the next three years, 2014 through 2016. Improvements to the parking area have been made during the past years of operation. The parking lot stormwater system has been completed. The access to the parking lot from Second Street has begun and will be completed at the time of the public hearing for this CUP extension. Completion of the parking area is the final condition to be met to fulfill the requirements of the original permit. Planning Staff recommend that the Planning Commission approve the extension request to October, 2016, with the understanding that required parking area improvements be made to City standards during that time period per the agreement. STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (SEPA) REVIEW: A Determination of NonSignificance was issued on September 2, 2009 per WAC 197-11- 355, for the original permit. That action satisfied the City's responsibility under the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA). No further review is necessary as nothing has changed regarding the proposal or the original conditions of approval. Attachments: A-Conditions,Findings,and Conclusions Community&Economic Development Department Staff Report November 13,2013 CUP 09-06 Extension—The Answer For Youth Page 3 ATTACHMENT"A" RECOMMENDED CONDITION, FINDINGS, AND CONCLUSIONS Conditions: 1. Hours of operation shall remain as originally permitted; 3 —7 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and 4:30—6:00 on Saturdays. 2. The parking area shall be paved incrementally over the next 3 years, paving a minimum of 911 square feet of area each year, per agreement with the City of Port Angeles, to City standards. Findings: Based on the information provided in the Community and Economic Development Staff Report for extension of CUP 09-06 dated November 13, 2013, including all information in the public record file, comments and testimony presented during the public hearing,the Planning Commission discussion and deliberation, and the above listed conditions of approval, the City of Port Angeles Planning Commission hereby finds that: 1. Susan Hilgren submitted a request for an extension of the permitted time to complete the paving requirements of Conditional Use Permit application CUP 09-06 on August 25, 2013.. The use of the site, located at 711 E. 2nd Street, is as a youth outreach center. 2. The site is zoned Commercial Office. City staff determined that the use is compatible with the intent of the zone and can be considered for approval by conditional use in the Commercial Office zone. 3. Per 17.96.050 PAMC, the Planning Commission considered and approved the application for a youth outreach center on September 9, 2009, with two conditions. Extensions of the Conditional Use Permit were approved on February 10, 2010, and on October 13, 2010. The October 13 action extended the permit to September 9, 2013. Extensions were required because the original condition requiring improvement of the off street parking area had not been met. The Planning Commission extended the permit to allow the applicant additional time to complete the condition of approval because there had been no other concerns logged during the operational time period. 4. A development that is approved through the conditional use permit process must remain in continual compliance with specific conditions of approval or may be revoked. 5. Extensions of approved conditional use permits may be requested per Section 17.96.070(E)PANIC. Extensions shall be considered in accordance with the same procedures as for the original permit application and may be granted for a period of one to five years provided that the use complies with the permit conditions and there have been no significant, adverse impacts. 6. The City's Public Works and Utilities and Community and Economic Development Departments reached an agreement regarding resolution of final parking lot surface and timing of completion by agreeing that the final surfacing could be done over a three year time period as long as that development is attained through an approved schedule of development. Community&Economic Development Department Staff Report November 13,2013 CUP 09-06 Extension—The Answer For Youth Page 4 7. Improvements to the parking area have been made, including improvements to the stormwater management system and construction of the south entryway from Second Street. 8. Notification of the extension request for the conditional use permit was placed in the Peninsula Daily News on October 28, 2013. Public notice was mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property on October 23, 2013. Notice of the proposal was posted on the site on October 25, 2013. 9. A Determination of Non-Significance was issued for the original proposal on September 2, 2009. This action satisfies the City's responsibility with regard to the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA). Nothing has changed with regard to the operation. The matter is simply an extension. 10. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed extension at the November 13, 2013, regular meeting.

THE ANSWER FOR YOUTH », PO BOX 633,Port Angeles,WA 98362 theanswer4youth.org FCITYOF �7 2013October 6,2013 RT ANGELES Dear Planning Commission, COMMUNITY&ECONOMIC,,DEVELOPMENT This letter is to ask for an extension for a parking lot paving project that needs to happen at The Answer For Youth(TAF Y), 711 East Second Street. We are a commercial property and have an extension that was due but September 20013. I worked tirelessly from January 2013 until June trying to find an engineer that would do our plan for free as we have no money to pay such expenses. Dave Hanna was gracious enough to agree to do this. We sent the plans to the city engineers and after some time it was approved. Only after the plan was approved was I able to contact Lakeside Industries and inquire if they would be gracious enough to do the paving for the parking lot for free. They said they would be willing to do the paving but it would have to wait until spring when they had new charity money and also the weather would be more suitable. I have access to a few local qualified laborers to help install the apron(approach)for Second Street and will be getting input and assistance from an experienced rain garden professional. We currently have: • Approved site plan • Stormwater Discharge Permit • Approach plan in place • Drainage plan to be completed before the end of this year. • Commitment to have parking lot completed by spring of 2014. What we need from the Planning Commission is an extension until the spring of 2014 to have the parking lot paving project completed. As you know what we do at TAFY is a great service to the whole community and county. We are extremely limited in funds so waiting for others to assist us for free is what we really need to do. Thank you for taking the time to read our request. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me, Susan Hillgren @ 670-4363.

Susan Hillgren. Executive director for the answer for youth. 711 east 2nd street Port Angeles,WA 98362 T.A.P.Y.....-Sweet Connections for Homeless Youth Susan Hillgren 360670.4363 Agency Director Planning Commission Minutes Excerpt—October 13, 2010 EXTENSION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT CUP 09-06 HILGREN-The Answer For Youth (Hilgren)—711 East Second Street: Commissioner Sue recused herself from the proceedings due to an Appearance of Fairness issue. She stated a familial relationship with the applicant and left the room. Associate Planner Scott Johns reviewed staff's memorandum outlining the past year's operation, describing the six month review and improvements that have been made, and compliance with the conditions of approval. Staff recommended that a three year extension be granted given compliance with the conditions of approval. Improvement to the parking area has not been made to City standard, although a gravel standard was permitted on a temporary basis. The three year time period will allow for some adjustment to that situation or full compliance, and will allow a review following the time period. Staff responded to discussion from Commission members regarding submittal of the extension request per the conditions of approval (two months prior to expiration). Planning Manager Sue Roberds indicated that while Condition#2 does require that extension be requested no less than two months prior to expiration, the Port Angeles Municipal Code requires only that a request be submitted prior to expiration. She felt that the applicant's intent was to comply even though the extension request submittal did not meet the letter of the condition. No problems were experienced as a result of the late submittal. Planner Johns responded to Commissioner Reiss that no additional landscaping had been required because the parking area is not new construction. If new parking area is developed, additional landscaping will be required. A church use existed on the site for many years that is not unlike the current occupancy. The parking lot has existed for many years as well. Planning Manager Roberds responded to a question from the Commission regarding improvement to the parking area. Mrs. Roberds said that City Engineer Steve Sperr determined that if there is no access to Second Street, the parking area could remain gravel with access only from the alley. However,the parking area must be augmented with gravel. If the gravel area is not maintained such that it becomes muddy or unusable, the activity will have to cease until such time as repair is made to minimum City standards. It is hoped that the applicant or property owner will be able to develop the site to an acceptable improved (paved) standard at a future time. When that happens, access will once more be permitted to Second Street. Chair Matthews reviewed the quasi judicial public hearing procedures for the public and qualified the Commissioners regarding appearance of fairness and conflict of interest matters. Remaining Commissioners responded for the record that they had no appearance of fairness or conflict of interest issues with regard to the pending application. The Chair then opened the public hearing. Susan Hilgren, 12 Pearce Road, Port Angeles, WA provided a synopsis of the past year's accomplishments and described how the conditions of approval had been met. She stated that the center currently serves 30 people on a regular basis with a normal day seeing between 12 — 19 people. There have been 2900 visits over the past year to the center. She confirmed that she would like to increase the days per week to accommodate the need for service. Most of her visitors are in their early 20's with some 14— 15 year olds. There being no further testimony from the audience, Chair Matthews closed the public hearing. In response to a direct question from Chair Matthews, Ms. Hilgren indicated that she conducts a part time counseling service at the center called the Winds of Change. Planner Johns noted that, as professional offices are permitted uses in the Commercial Office zone in which the site is located, a counseling service would be a permitted use. Following brief discussion, Commissioner Bruch moved to approve a three year extension of Conditional Use Permit 09-06 with the following conditions, supported by the following findings and conclusions: Conditions: 1. The permit shall be issued for a period of one year. To evaluate neighborhood impacts, a six month progress report will be submitted for review by the Planning Commission. The applicant shall submit a letter requesting review and subsequent extension of the conditional use permit no less than 2 months prior to the end of the one-year approval period (no later than the first week of July, 20 10)to provide staff adequate time to notice, review, and schedule appropriate meetings for consideration of extension of the permit. 2. Hours of operation shall be limited to 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and 4:30—6:30 on Saturday. 3. CUP 09-06 is extended for an additional three(3) year period, until September 9, 2013, for Susan Hilgren to operate The Answer For Youth outreach center as described in the application submitted to the City Department of Community&Economic Development on August 3,2009. If extension is desired beyond September 9, 2013, such request must be submitted to the City Department of Community &Economic Development prior to the expiration date of September 9, 2013. 4. Hours of operation may be extended to, at maximum, 3 P.M. —7 P.M. Monday, through Friday, and 4:30 P.M.—6:00 P.M. Saturdays and Sundays. 5. Use of the undeveloped parking area may only occur under the conditions prescribed by the City Engineer allowing a gravel surface as long as access is prevented from the neighboring street and gravel is placed to prevent mud and debris from being deposited in the alley from the site. If the gravel driveway condition becomes inaccessible for use due to disrepair or maintenance, or access from Second Street is desired, the use shall cease until the parking area is improved to the City's more standard parking lot development design at which time access to Second Street may be utilized. Findinzs: 1. Following a public hearing conducted on September 9, 2009, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit CUP 09-06 allowing an outreach center entitled"The Answer For Youth (TAFY")to be established in the Commercial Office zone. The applicant is Susan Hilgren. The site location is 711 E. Second Street. 2. The Planning Commission approved the conditional use permit with two conditions. 3. Section 17.96.070(E) of the Port Angeles Municipal Code Extensions of Approved Conditional Use Permits reads"Extensions of approved conditional use permits shall be considered in accordance with the same procedures as for the original permit application, and may be granted for a period of one to five years, provided that the following minimum criteria are met: 1. The use complies with the permit conditions. 2. There have been no significant, adverse changes in circumstances. Upon written request for an extension submitted to the Department of Community and Economic Development prior to the expiration of the conditional use permit, said conditional use permit shall be automatically extended for ninety days to allow the City adequate time to review the extension request. F. Minor Amendment of Approved Conditional Use Permits. 1. Upon written request submitted to the Department of Community and Economic Development a minor amendment may be made to an approved conditional use permit if: a. The amendment does not increase the intensity of the use by more than 10% of the original approval; b. The amendment will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located;" 4. The applicant requested extension of the CUP in a timely manner, with such extension being requested prior to the one year expiration date on September 7, 2010. 5. Notice of the extension was placed in the Peninsula Daily News and mailed to neighboring property owners and parties of record on September 24, 2010. At the time of this staff report, no written comment has been received as a result of that notification. 6. The applicant has requested minor amendment to Condition#1 of the original approval increasing the hours of operation to allow seven (7) day a week use rather than the originally approved five (5) days per week. The original days/hours of operation were 3 —7 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and 4:30—6:00 on Saturday. Added dates/hours are requested to be Tuesday and Thursday with hours being 3 P.M.—7 P.M. and 4:30 P.M.—6:00 P.M. on Sundays. .7. The City of Port Angeles Public Works and Utilities Department approved development of the required off street parking area to a gravel standard with the condition that access to the neighborhood street be prevented. In response to this requirement,the applicant has added a gravel base to the parking area and erected a fence across the access to Second Street. The City will allow the gravel use as a trial but indicated that if the parking area becomes.unusable due to maintenance issues,the area will need to be improved to the standard asphalt or concrete parking area for further use of the site. Conclusions: 1. The proposal is consistent with other uses permitted and with the purpose of the Commercial Office zone described in 17.20.0 10 PANIC 2. As conditioned, the proposal is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan, specifically with Land Use Element, Land Use Map Goal A, Policies 1 & 2; Commercial Goal D, Policiesl &2; Utilities and Public Services Element, Goal B, Policy 3; Economic Development Element, Goal A, Policy 8. 3. The proposal is consistent with requirements for the extension of a conditional use permit as specified in PANIC 17.96.070. Commissioner Boyle seconded the motion that passed 6-0.

Johns,Associate Planner i DATE: September 9,2009 RE: Conditional Use Permit CUP 09-06 APPLICANT: Susan Hilgren OWNER: Sara Lee O'Connor LOCATION: 711 E. 2"d REQUEST: Allow an outreach center for youth and young adults in the CO zone. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Division recommends that the Planning Commission approve CUP 09-06 with 2 conditions, citing 10 findings and.3 conclusions in support of that action as listed in Attachment A. EXISTING CONDITIONS IN AREA: The site is located at 711 E. 2nd Street in Port Angeles and currently contains a vacant building that j has most recently been used as a church. The site is generally level and contains no other buildings. Ah'area to the west of the building has been graded and graveled to allow parking on the site. The site is zoned Commercial Office. Surrounding land uses include single family residences to the east, even though those parcels are zoned for high density residential use (RHD), and across 2nd Street to the south where the zoning is Residential Single Family (RS-7). Directly to the east of the subject site is a private professional counseling office, also located in the Commercial Office (CO)zone. Properties to the north and west of Eunice Street are zoned Commercial Arterial (CA). Developed land uses in the CA zone include single family residences, apartments, and commercial uses. To the southwest of the site is Webster Park. Also located within the general area are Civic Field, Erickson Park containing the Dream Playground and the skate park,the YMCA, and a wide variety of commercial and residential uses. DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: City Departments reviewed the proposal and provided the following comments: The Fire Department reviewed the application and had no comments or objections. Department of Community Development Staff Report • September 9,2009 CUP 09-06—Hilgren Page 2 The Public Works and Utilities Department had no comments. The Building Division of DCED will require building permits for improvements that involve structural work. PUBLIC COMMENT: Notification of the proposed action was placed in the Peninsula Daily News on August 17,2009, posted'on the subject property on August 18, 2009, and mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property on August 14,2009. The public comment period closed on August 31,2009. One comment letter was received via e-mail during the public comment period. The letter writer operates a private counseling service at the property directly adjacent to the west side of the subject site. The concerns expressed are that the zoning is for office and residential only and that the proposed youth center does not expressly fit those categories. The author stated that the proposed use is not appropriate for the site. Further,there is concern that allowing a youth center to begin operating next door would jeopardize their business as the success of the business is predicated on having a secure and quiet space and the serene setting of their business. The inclusion of music as part of the youth center activity description raised concern of disruption to their business due to potential loud volume. Some clients of the counseling center are veterans with combat related posttratunatic stress disorder who are hypersensitive to the sound of children's voices and modern music. The letter writer continues to question the appropriateness of the age range of clientele proposed by the applicant and that the center would be run by volunteers. Parking on site is another issue raised. The letter is attached for your reference. ANALYSIS: The entire Comprehensive Plan and Port Angeles Municipal Code were reviewed with regard to the proposal and the references listed in Attaclument C were found to be the most relevant to the proposal. In addition to the Comprehensive Plan goals and policies, development regulations in the Commercial Office zone are also included in Attachment C to this staff report. The City's Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map identify the area as being located in the North Central Planning Area and the site is designated as Commercial. The 10,444 square foot site is zoned Commercial Office(CO) and has been used as a church for the past several years. The building has been vacant or unused for several months. The building contains separate restrooms, a kitchen/dining area,and a second floor with smaller rooms,in addition to a main gathering area. The site contains a graveled parking area on the west side of the structure. The Commercial Office zone "is a commercial zone intended for those business, office, administrative or professional uses that do not involve the retail sale of goods, but rather provide a service to clients, the provision of which does not create high traffic volumes, involve extended hours of operation, or contain impacts that would be detrimental to adjacent residential areas". Although a youth drop-in center is not specifically listed as a permitted or conditional use in the CO zone,the proposed center meets several of the criteria listed in the purpose section of the CO zone, --- — —-----including=no-r-etai-l-sales;—provision--of-services-to-clients—not er-eating high traffic volumes;—and-not----- ----- having extended hours of operation. There are currently several uses that are listed as permitted or conditional that have similar characteristics and activities that the applicant is proposing. Those Department of Community Development Staff Report September 9,2009 CUP 09-06—Hilgren Page 3 uses with similarities to the proposed use include;personal services facilities,business and professional offices, and personal instruction. PAMC 17.20.160 (P) allows "other uses compatible with the intent of this Chapter" conditionally to be located in the CO zone. The application materials indicate that activities proposed will include such things as counseling regarding substance abuse, classes for employment preparation such as food handlers license or resume writing,parenting and family planning classes, other life skills classes, and spiritual counseling. The center's stated fiinction does not include entertainment or recreation activities, however, it is stated that "music will happen on a routine basis". Discussions with the applicant have indicated that the music that will be provided will act as background only and not be the focus at the center. Application materials also indicate that the center will act as a connection between churches, service organizations and agencies,businesses, schools, and the public. It is staffs conclusion that the proposed use does meet the criteria of compatibility with the intent of the Commercial Office zone and is therefore allowable as a conditional use in the zone. Proposed operating hours for the center are limited and are stated as from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays. No night time activities are proposed. The center is to be staffed by volunteers with a minimum of 3 trained adults on site during all operating hours. No detail as to the level or subject of training of the adult supervisors was provided. The site contains six off-street parking spaces. Additional area for parking is readily available for additional parking if the need arises. It is not anticipated that additional parking will be required. Due to the nature of the programs offered and the expected clientele at the center, it is unlikely that additional parking needs will arise. A similar center is located within 2 blocks of the subject site. Observations of that operation and discussions with staff have indicated that.parking is not an issue at that center. The site is situated in an area of the city with a wide range of surrounding uses. The site is not on an arterial thoroughfare but is one block from First Street, which provides transit service and commercial activity. Several parks and recreational facilities are nearby and additional social services exist within a reasonable distance. Even though this type of use is not unique and another such use exists in the vicinity,the full extent of potential impacts to a neighborhood may not be completely anticipated. Concern has been raised by neighbors as to how the use may impact the neighborhood. Due to these concerns and uncertainty regarding impacts, it is suggested that the use be reviewed after a reasonable period of time of operation and provided with the opportunity to mitigate unanticipated impacts, or in the event that unanticipated impacts are detrimental to the neighborhood and not able to be mitigated, that the conditional use be discontinued. STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT(SEPA)REVIEW: A Determination of NonSignificance was issued for this proposed action on September 2, 2009,per WAC 197-11-355. This satisfies the City's responsibility under the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA).

Three public comment letters were received during the public comment period. The letter writers all were concerned about the level and quality of supervision provided at the center,the nature of activities to be offered by the center and how the activities may affect existing neighborhood activities,and that the clientele described in the application materialsvould bring an increase of adverse or disniptive social issues and I behaviors to the neighborhood. 10. Application materials indicate the hours of operation will be from 3:00 p.m, to 7:00 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays. Application materials further indicate that the center's mission and intent is to mitigate and reduce the source of the adverse social issues and behaviors through education, counseling, and access and direction to community resources. 11. A Determination of Non-Significance was issued for this proposed action on September 2,2009. 12. The Planning Commission opened a public hearing on the proposal at the September 9,2009,regular meeting.

The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map should be used as a conceptual guide for determining current and long-range zoning and other land use decisions. The map's land use designations are intended to show areas where general land use types are allowed.

When determining appropriate zoning designations for an area near a margin,the goals, policies and objectives of the Land Use Element should take precedence. 2.

Second Street— e Answer For Youth (TAFY) Dear Ms. Brewer: I have received your letter regarding activities at 711 E. Second Street, Port Angeles. Thank you for taking the time to identify your concerns, however, the program such as you described is not within the purview of the City to regulate. The subject site is located in the City's Commercial Office zone which allows for a variety of business, professional office, and medical uses. The youth outreach activity was permitted by conditional use permit as a use that meets the intent of the CO zone and is similar to other permitted and conditionally permitted uses identified as being allowed in the zone including but not limited to personal services, professional offices, chemical dependency treatment and detoxification centers, and health care. I am sorry to hear that your neighbors have communicated to you that the City did nothing to address initial concerns. While I do understand that some neighbors did not support the conditional use activity and there was initial controversy, City staff did immediately contact Mrs. Hilgren on those occasions when concerns were reported and thought the operational issues were resolved. I am not aware of operational issues that may be continuing. If made aware, this Department will respond. As we discussed when you stopped in the office, the City does not regulate the function of medical or social service agency operations other than where they may exist. I do hope that your fears are not recognized in this instance and encourage you to create an open line of communication with Mrs. Hilgren if issues should occur that are of concern. If violations of the conditional use permit are observed, please contact this Department and we will follow up on those issues.

Box 1150 Port Angeles, WA 98362 SUBJECT: COMPLAINT: Syringe Exchange Program, Application to Manage Submitted by Susan Hillgren of TAFY ATTN: Sue Roberds Dear.Sue; TAFY is located at 711 E. 2d street, around the corner from my home. It is my understanding that Susan Hillgren and others connected with TAFY are being considered tooperate the Clallam County Syringe Exchange Program. I have reviewed the conditional use permit obtained by TAFY for the operation of that organization. Clearly, the operation of a Syringe Exchange Program exceeds the scope of the use permit. Traffic and parking has been an issue since TAFY opened. Adding a stream of drug addicts will greatly increase the amount and type of traffic to and from their facility. Susan Hillgren and TAY staff allow frequent and ongoing violations of the Use Permit regarding parking, hours of operation, and noise. My neighbors tell me that they gave up complaining to the City because the City did nothing about their complaints. Susan Hillgren and TAFY staff makes no effort to be a good neighbor. Instead, they conduct themselves as though they are entitled park wherever they want and make as much noise as they want. They have gone so far as to threaten bodily injury to neighbors who question their conduct. I am horrified at the thought of ijwhatwil happen when drug addicts are added to the mix. rely, e .

In this time the youth that have been served are from the Port Angeles area, some homeless, some jobless, but.all very much in need. • Soon after the 6t'month review meeting with the commissioners, Greenwood Counseling provided a 6-foot wooden privacy fence to separate property lines. This was unexpected, very helpful and greatly appreciated by T.A.F.Y. • Since the placement of the fence by Greenwood Counseling there has been no hostile communication or neighbor issues between the two facilities, to our knowledge. • A few interactions with neighbors on 2nd street shared their concerns about parking that have since been addressed. With the negotiated agreement of additional parking at Swain's, the installation of our own facility parking lot, and the closure of our 2nd street parking entrance further.issues have been eliminated. In addition to meeting the conditions of our conditional use permit, we feel T.A.F.Y. has provided an enormously valuable service to the community of Port Angeles (see the attached Appendix A - List of Services provided and youth participation statistics) Since the onset of the facility we have had a continued steady growth on the number of individuals and children that have used our services. Growth figures are available in Appendix A. The Answer For Youth P.O. Box 633 Port Angeles, WA 98362 360-670-4363 i i Hours of Operation: Hours of operation were limited to 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, Wednesday,Friday, and 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Saturday. WE HAVE MET THIS CONDITION. At this time, although we are unable to staff additional hours; in anticipation of expanding our volunteer staff, we would like to make a request to extend our hours of operation to include: Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. This would give T.A.F.Y. the potential of expanding its services without having to return to the commissioners for permission. *the Answer For Youth P.O.

She stated a familial relationship with the applicant and left the room. Associate Planner Scott Johns reviewed staff's memorandum outlining the past year's operation, describing the six month review and improvements that have been made, and compliance with the conditions of approval. Staff recommended that a three year extension be granted given compliance with the conditions of approval. Improvement to the parking area has not been made to City standard, although a gravel standard was permitted on a temporary basis. The three year time period will allow for some adjustment to that situation or full compliance, and will allow a review following the time period. Staff responded to discussion from Commission members regarding submittal of the extension request per the conditions of approval (two months prior to expiration). Planning Manager Sue Roberds indicated that while Condition#2 does require that extension be requested no less than two months prior to expiration, the Port Angeles Municipal Code requires only that a request be submitted prior to expiration. She felt that the applicant's intent was to comply even though the extension request submittal did not meet the letter of the condition. No problems were experienced as a result of the late submittal. Planner Johns responded to Commissioner Reiss that no additional landscaping had been required because the parking area is not new construction. If new parking area is developed, additional landscaping will be required. A church use existed on the site for many years that is not unlike the current occupancy. The parking lot has existed for many years as well. Planning Manager Roberds responded to a question from the Commission regarding improvement to the parking area. Mrs. Roberds said that City Engineer Steve Sperr determined that if there is no access to Second Street, the parking area could remain gravel with access only from the alley. However, the parking area must be augmented with gravel. If the gravel area is not maintained such that it becomes muddy or unusable, the activity will have to cease until such time as repair is made to minimum City standards. It is hoped that the applicant or property owner will be able to develop the site to an acceptable improved (paved) standard at a future time. When that happens, access will once more be permitted to Second Street. Chair Matthews reviewed the quasi judicial public hearing procedures for the public and qualified the Commissioners regarding appearance of fairness and conflict of interest matters. Remaining Commissioners responded for the record that they had no appearance of fairness or conflict of interest issues with regard to the pending application. The Chair then opened the public hearing. Susan Hilgren, 12 Pearce Road, Port Angeles, WA provided a synopsis of the past year's accomplishments and described how the conditions of approval had been met. She stated that the center currently serves 30 people on a regular basis with a normal day seeing between 12 — 19 people. There have been 2900 visits over the past year to the center. She confirmed that she would like to increase the days per week to accommodate the need for service. Most of her visitors are in their early 20's with some 14— 15 year olds. There being no further testimony from the audience, Chair Matthews closed the public hearing. In response to a direct question from Chair Matthews, Ms. Hilgren indicated that she conducts a part time counseling service at the center called the Winds of Change. Planner Johns noted that, as professional offices are permitted uses in the Commercial Office zone in which the site is located, a counseling service would be a permitted use. Following brief discussion, Commissioner Bruch moved to approve a three year extension of Conditional Use Permit 09-06 with the following conditions, supported by the following findings and conclusions: Conditions: 1. The permit shall be issued for a period of one year. To evaluate neighborhood impacts, a six month progress report will be submitted for review by the Planning Commission. The applicant shall submit a letter requesting review and subsequent extension of the conditional use permit no less than 2 months prior to the end of the one-year approval period (no later than the first week of July, 2010) to provide staff adequate time to notice, review, and schedule appropriate meetings for consideration of extension of the permit. 2. Hours of operation shall be limited to 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and 4:30—6:30 on Saturday. 3. CUP 09-06 is extended for an additional three (3) year period, until September 9, 2013, for Susan Hilgren to operate The Answer For Youth outreach center as described in the application submitted to the City Department of Community& Economic Development on August 3, 2009. If extension is desired beyond September 9, 2013, such request must be submitted to the City Department of Community & Economic Development prior to the expiration date of September 9, 2013. 4. Hours of operation may be extended to, at maximum, 3 P.M. —7 P.M. Monday, through Friday, and 4:30 P.M. —6:00 P.M. Saturdays and Sundays. 5. Use of the undeveloped parking area may only occur under the conditions prescribed by the City Engineer allowing a gravel surface as long as access is prevented from the neighboring street and gravel is placed to prevent mud and debris from being deposited in the alley from the site. If the gravel driveway condition becomes inaccessible for use due to disrepair or maintenance, or access from Second Street is desired, the use shall cease until the parking area is improved to the City's more standard parking lot development design at which time access to Second Street may be utilized. Finding 1. Following a public hearing conducted on September 9, 2009, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit CUP 09-06 allowing an outreach center entitled"The Answer For Youth(TAFY")to be established in the Commercial Office zone. The applicant is Susan Hilgren. The site location is 711 E. Second Street. 2. The Planning Commission approved the conditional use permit with two conditions. 3. Section 17.96.070(E) of the Port Angeles Municipal Code Extensions of Approved Conditional Use Permits reads "Extensions of approved conditional use permits shall be considered in accordance with the same procedures as for the original permit application, and may be granted for a period of one to five years, provided that the following minimum criteria are met: 1. The use complies with the permit conditions. 2. There have been no significant, adverse changes in circumstances. Upon written request for an extension submitted to the Department of Community and Economic Development prior to the expiration of the conditional use permit, said conditional use permit shall be automatically extended for ninety days to allow the City adequate time to review the extension request. F. Minor Amendment of Approved Conditional Use Permits. 1. Upon written request submitted to the Department of Community and Economic Development a minor amendment may be made to an approved conditional use permit if: a. The amendment does not increase the intensity of the use by more than 10% of the original approval; b. The amendment will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located;" 4. The applicant requested extension of the CUP in a timely manner, with such extension being requested prior to the one year expiration date on September 7, 2010. 5. Notice of the extension was placed in the Peninsula Daily News and mailed to neighboring property owners and parties of record on September 24, 2010. At the time of this staff report, no written comment has been received as a result of that notification. 6. The applicant has requested minor amendment to Condition#1 of the original approval increasing the hours of operation to allow seven (7) day a week use rather than the originally approved five (5) days per week. The original days/hours of operation were 3 —7 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and 4:30—6:00 on Saturday. Added dates/hours are requested to be Tuesday and Thursday with hours being 3 P.M. —7 P.M. and 4:30 P.M.—6:00 P.M. on Sundays. 7. The City of Port Angeles Public Works and Utilities Department approved development of the required off street parking area to a gravel standard with the condition that access to the neighborhood street be prevented. In response to this requirement, the applicant has added a gravel base to the parking area and erected a fence across the access to Second Street. The City will allow the gravel use as a trial but indicated that if the parking area becomes unusable due to maintenance issues, the area will need to be improved to the standard asphalt or concrete parking area for further use of the site. Conclusions: 1. The proposal is consistent with other uses permitted and with the purposd of the Commercial Office zone described in 17.20.010 PAMC 2. As conditioned, the proposal is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan, specifically with Land Use Element, Land Use Map Goal A, Policies 1 & 2; Commercial Goal D, Policies & 2; Utilities and Public Services Element, Goal B, Policy 3; Economic Development Element, Goal A, Policy 8. 3. The proposal is consistent with requirements for the extension of a conditional use permit as specified in PAMC 17.96.070. Commissioner Boyle seconded the motion that passed 6 - 0.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and the co-owner of the property located next door to the proposed location for"The Answer for Youth" outreach business submitted by Susan L.Hillgren. My partner, Michele Bryant, LCSW, and I have owned our property(113 South Eunice) for over 6 years. Currently,our office spaces are fully rented to professional tenants who are all licensed in the mental health field.We have worked diligently to be an asset to our neighbors and have received favorable input throughout the years.We value the quietness of the neighborhood,a particular sense of safety,and even a substantial level of discretion that our offices provide our clientele,as well as our tenants.This was one of the primary reasons we chose the location that we did.We were aware of the residential/office zoning for this area. Likewise,we were aware that the church next door had a small congregation and its' Sunday activities would not conflict with our regular business hours. We are also aware that a business such as the proposed The Answer For Youth does not fail under the normal zoning for this neighborhood. When it was brought to my attention that this proposal had been submitted I requested a copy of the application. After reading Ms.Hillgren's plan I felt compelled to send a letter. The proposal states that: "The board of directors expect minimal impact on the neighborhood...We do not expect any issues concerning noise levels and/or outside traffic.All of us who are working currently with this population feel rarely is this a big problem." The first question that I have is what is the definition of a"big problem"?Ms.Hillgren describes the targeted population as"streetwise and high risk youth."This could indicate a higher incidence of complex issues that could surface frequently.Examples would be mental health issues,substance abuse,violent behaviors,or legal issues. These issues alone could have a significant impact on the neighborhood.What are the safeguards in place if the"encouraged quiet activities" are ignored by the population to be served? Additionally, I am guessing that the volunteer supervision would primarily occur inside the building.There will be an increase of population in the neighborhood of underage youth and young adults that may be homeless or that may not have any place to go after hours,except on adjoining properties,etc. If this is the case,what are the safeguards of this organization regarding after hours loitering,etc.? Professionally,I have concerns,as well.First of all,the business plan states that"the goal is the betterment of the welfare of streetwise and high risk youth."Although the statement sounds beneficial,I am unclear as to how a Youth-oriented center could contain an age group ranging from 13-24 year olds.Legally, 18-24 year olds are adults.I am perplexed as to how streetwise adults could be placed in an environment with children and be called "youth". This decision is quite disconcerting to me. Secondly, I wonder how the youths' emotional needs will be evaluated in order to meet the goal"to provide an environment that will allow inner growth and meet spiritual and emotional needs." Who does the evaluating? Finally, the phrase "allow the inner child to come forth" begs several further inquiries. What does this organization mean exactly by this statement?I am left with more questions than answers: • At what capacity are the volunteers trained to anticipate emotional difficulties that could surface and be detrimental to the youth or others? • Who among the volunteers has the proper training to assess how/when/where a youth requires prompt intervention? • Which agencies, community organizations, private practitioners are currently on board with this project that have training/experience working with at risk youth/young adults? • Who supervises the volunteers? What is the supervisor's training/expertise in working with this target population? In summary, I worked for years with the Clallam /Jefferson Counties Juvenile System before going into private practice as a licensed mental health therapist in 1985.I have been involved in many youth programs within our community and was one of the founders of several(e.g.,The Choice Alternative School,Juvenile Diversion).I believe that I have a fairly clear understanding of the numerous issues that can be faced by the targeted population, such as physical/mental health issues, substance abuse, homelessness, legal issues ( including violence),pregnancy and STDs,and insufficient schooling,just to name a few.I also believe that to assist an at- risk youth in gaining personal success can be quite gratifying. I commend this group for wanting to offer these young people support. It seems like the concept could work so easily.I don't believe that to be the case. There are too many questions unanswered and significant concerns raised for me to feel comfortable supporting this plan. I sense a significant lack of structure that could-ultimately lead to a negative impact on my business and property. Therefore I want to go on record as being against the location of 711 East 2'Street for The Answer For Youth business. Thank you for your time in this matter. Sincerely, Chery tle,MA,LMHC,NCC Licensed Mental Health Therapist 2 x(08/28/2009)Scott Johns 'Answer for Youth 6 mment a � Page 1 j From: "M Bryant" <mbryant@wavecable.com> To: <Sjohns@cityofpa.us> Date: 08/24/2009 8:45 AM Subject: 'Answer for Youth' comment Mr. Johns, My name is Michele Bryant. I am a state licensed clinical social worker(LICSW#00005288)with a private psychotherapy practice. My business associate Cheryl Mantle,state licensed LMHP, has already spoken with you. Jointly we own and operate Greenwood, a therapy center at 113 S. Eunice Street, Port Angeles. We are situated right beside the Church of God at 711 E. 2nd Street, the site upon which "Answer For Youth' is proposing to situate their"Youth Center". I have several concerns about this proposal.- First roposal:First of all, at our location, the zoning is for office and residential only. I don't understand how a youth center, especially a youth center for"At Risk Youth" could possibly be considered to be an appropriate use of this quiet area. When Ms. Mantle and I purchased this property the zoning was a concern of ours. We were assured by the City that no use other than Residential and Office would be allowed here. We are mental health professionals ourselves and purchased and renovated our building at considerable expense, in order to have a secure and quiet space for ourselves and to rent out office space to other therapists. Our building is currently rented at full capacity to fully licensed, qualified, mental health professionals. The success of our business plan is largely because of the serene setting we are able to offer at our therapy center. I am concerned that allowing a youth center to begin operating next door would jeopardize our successful business as well as the business of our current renters. . For instance, In the business plan Answer for Youth states that"music will be offered on a routine basis". The music that appeals to youth is usually not conducive to a quiet and peaceful setting. Furthermore, a large percentage of my client base is composed of combat veterans, suffering from combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder. These veterans tend to be hypersensitive to the sound of children's voices and the sounds of modern music. I am particularly concerned about the noise factor on the behalf of my veteran clients. I am very familiar with the term At Risk Youth. I held a state contract for 5 years to provide in-home family counseling (FRS/Family Reconciliation Service) for families who were dealing with an 'At Risk' child. Speaking from the vantage point of my education and experience, I question the wisdom of any enterprise in which 13-year old children are encouraged to interact with 24-year olds, particularly when the business plan refers to all of their client population as 'youths'. 24-year olds are not'youths'. They are young adults and they should not be spending a lot of time in the company of young teen-agers. The business proposal I read sounds well-intentioned but also quite naive. In my experience, volunteers are seldom well enough trained or qualified to supervise such a diverse age spread in a safe and appropriate manner, particularly when the youth they are trying to help are, by definition, troubled kids. The only parking available to this center would be street parking on an already busy street. Kids over the age of 16 often operate their own vehicles. They would have no parking space either. I suppose that part of the lawn could be turned into a parking lot, but that would certainly not benefit the appearance of the neighborhood, and it would also negatively impact the appearance of our building and grounds since the church property abuts our property. Even if I were not operating a business next door to this newly proposed youth center, I would have many questions and concerns about the qualifications and goals of the people who are petitioning to install and run it. As a property owner whose property and source of livelihood will be negatively impacted by this proposed center, I am terribly distressed by the prospect, and would urge the City to prevent the implementation of this plan. y CITY OF PORT ANGELES NOTICE OF MAILING RE'�" I, SUE ROBERDS, state that on the day of 2009, I mailed said notice, a true copy of which is hereto attached and made part hereof pursuant to Section 17.96.140 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code, to the persons noted on the attached list.

Extensions of the Conditional Use Permit were approved on February 10, 2010, and on October 13, 2010. The October 13 action extended the permit to September 9, 2013. Extensions were required because the original condition requiring improvement of the Planning Commission Minutes November 13,2013 Page 3 off street parking area had not been met.

Extensions of approved conditional use permits may be requested per Section 17.96.070(E) PAMC. Extensions shall be considered in accordance with the same procedures as for the original permit application and may be granted for a period of one to five years provided that the use complies with the permit conditions and there have been no significant, adverse impacts. 6. The City's Public Works and Utilities and Community and Economic Development Departments reached an agreement regarding resolution of final parking lot surface and timing of completion by agreeing that the final surfacing could be done over a three year time period as long as that development is attained through an approved schedule of development. 7. Improvements to the parking area have been made, including improvements to the stormwater management system and construction of the south entryway from Second Street. 8. Notification of the extension request for the conditional use permit was placed in the Peninsula Daily News on October 28, 2013. Public notice was mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property on October 23, 2013. Notice of the proposal was posted on the site on October 25, 2013. 9. A Determination of Non-Significance was issued for the original proposal on September 2, 2009. This action satisfies the City's responsibility with regard to the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA). Nothing has changed with regard to the operation. The matter is simply an extension. 10. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed extension at the November 13, 2013, regular meeting. Conclusions: 1. The proposal is consistent with other permitted uses and with the purpose of the Commercial Office zone described in 17.20.010 PAMC. 2. As conditioned, the proposal is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan, specifically with Land Use Element, Land Use Map Goal A, Policies 1 & 2; Commercial Goal D, Policies 1 &2; Utilities and Public Services Element, Goal B, Policy3; Economic Development Element, Goal A, Policy 8 p 3. The extension request was processed m compliance with requirements f or extension requests per PAMC 17.96.050. 4. As conditioned, the proposal will allow continuation of a drop-in center for youth and young adults to be operated at 711 E. 2nd Street in Port Angeles, with specified hours of use per the original operation plan. Commissioner Miller seconded the motions which passed 5—0. UD To whom this may concern, NOV i 2 2013 I am writing this letter regarding TAFY 711 E 2nd street. I have lived at my hom e2rr4rs�jAJ- Q ESI h ve . been doing volunteer work for a local agency that helps needy families in our town for Aide rel tt people that do need and use these agencies. I feel that the more places there are for people available in our community ultimately hurts our town. By this I mean homeless or"at risk" people get relocated here because of all the agencies available in our town. Because of this, bringing more homeless and at risk people to our beautiful town. I am writing this letter because the last time I attended a city meeting regarding TAFY, I spoke in front of everyone at the meeting stating how I felt about TAFY moving to our neighborhood. After the meeting I was accosted outside the doors of the meeting by the ladies in charge of TAFY. They wanted to argue with me because I didn't see things their way. They said they wanted to be closer to the people at risk and give them hugs. Which they couldn't do at the Serenity house- dream center. The location of TAFY is poorly planned. It is located close to the Dream park(skate park), Jesse Webster park, and the YMCA where many children go. The type of people that go to TAFY aren't ones that I would want my children to be around. I'm not sure how TAFY monitors or cares to see if sex offenders or people of that nature attend their place. My son was attending church,when one of the ladies in charge of TAFY invited him to go there to TAFY. My son was only 11 yrs. old at the time and not even close to being homeless. I don't know if its to try to get more kids there or what the motive was, but I feel it isn't a safe place for good kids to be. I see many questionable people over there daily. -Yes I mean daily, even when they're not open. They are smoking, making drug deals, and talking and/or yelling with very offensive language. They arrive at all hours of the day and night. Before TAFY opens, and after hours when they have AA meetings there. I hear people and car doors slamming every night around 10pm-midnight or so. When TAFY is open they serve food there(which is good, but they also serve food 4 blocks down at the Salvation Army church). I watch n leave their trash in our parking strip or on our lawns. o into TAFY for a bit come out with food and then ea e e P 9 P people 9 When we first moved into the neighborhood, it was a peaceful place to live and a great place to raise children. Since TAFY has moved in, I see"druggies"and"shady" people daily. Our neighborhood has had a problem lately with people breaking into backyards and garages. My husband recently had to call the police twice because there was signs of transients staying in our neigbors garage. The house is up for sale and has been empty for some time now. On Oct. 31 st, there was a transient sitting in the backyard of that house in front of the garage. An officer actually talked to the man after my husband called the police on that occasion. Renters in the house directly nextdoor to TAFY don't stay long as soon as they realize all the problems that come along with being neighbors to TAFY. When my husband talked to that new neighbor there, she said that her garage had also been broken into. She was complaining about the people and the parking situation. She's only been there a few months and has young children. She probably wont stay long either. I don't let my son, nieces, nephew or any children play in our frontyard or ride thier bikes up and down the sidewalk because of the people that go to TAFY and hang out in front of the place and in the parkinglot. Nov. 1 st a little before midnight, the police were called there before the meeting ended. I know this because I heard a female talking to the officer. The next afternoon, they were there again for a different reason. If the ladies that run TAFY could work with other agencies in our town, it could make and help them better. Rather than creating another place for the"needy"to bounce to and from. Begging for donations&volunteers for thier place takes away from supporting the already well established organizations and agencies in our community. First steps family support center, Salvation Army, Foodbank, and Serenity house dream center are just some of the organizations that help the needy in our area and provide more services than TAFY, including case management, food, hygene items, clothing, shower, laundry, phone, computers and short term overnight stays. most of the agencies are walking distance from TAFY. TAFY deosn't provide anything different. Just asking the community for donations to support their cause to enable street life people to keep doing what they do. With their no questions asked policy, they are just a nuisance to our neighborhood. Thank you for taking the time to read this. 1 Kerry Camby 712 E 2nd st Port Angeles WA 98362 Pr",10 I CTLES - 1 -- WAS H I N G T O N, U. S. A. DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO: Planning Commission FROM: Scott K. Johns DATE: November 13, 2013 RE: The Answer For Youth(TAFY) CUP extension APPLICANT: Susan Hilgren OWNER: Sara Lee O'Connor LOCATION: 711 E. 2"d Street REQUEST: Extension of Conditional Use Permit CUP 09-06 A youth outreach center in the Commercial Office zone RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Division recommends that the Planning Commission approve a further extension of CUP 09-06 with 2 conditions, citing 7 findings and 4 conclusions in support of the action. EXISTING CONDITIONS IN AREA: Conditions in the general area have not changed since the original CUP approval on September 9, 2009. The Answer For Youth (TAFY) has been operating on the site since the original Conditional Use Permit-was issued in 2009. The access to the required parking area has been gated in the past so that access is from the alley rather than from Second Street. The access restriction was to ensure parking lot material (gravel) was not dragged onto Second Street prior to improvement of the required off street parking area. The Second Street access improvement is currently. TAFY's parking area remains unpaved but has been graveled and graded. DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: City Departments reviewed the proposal and provided the following comments: The Fire Department had no comments or objections to the CUP extension. The Public Works and Utilities Department approved the phased parking lot improvements and had no additional comments or concerns. Community&Economic Deve ent Department Staff Report November 13,2013 CUP 09-06 Extension—The AAWr For Youth • Page 2 PUBLIC COMMENT: Public notice of the extension request was mailed to neighboring property owners on October 23, 2013, the site was posted on October 25, and public notice appeared in the Peninsula Daily News on October 28 per Section 17.96.140 PAMC. ANALYSIS: TAFY has been in continual operation at the site since permit approval on September 9, 2009. Conditions of the original approval have been met with the exception of completion of paving the parking lot. Although the parking area remains graveled, the project proponent has made progress toward paving in that a design engineer has been recruited for development and a local paving company has agreed to do the work. However, that work must wait until the spring of 2014 to begin due to pending obligations and anticipated winter weather conditions. The project proponent has reached agreement with the City's Public Works and Utilities Department and Community and Economic Development Department to complete the paving in a phased manner over a subsequent 3 year period. This agreement requires that 911 square feet of the parking area be final surfaced during each of the next three years, 2014 through 2016. Improvements to the parking area have been made during the past years of operation. The parking lot stormwater system has been completed. The access to the parking lot from Second Street has begun and will be completed at the time of the public hearing for this CUP extension. Completion of the parking area is the final condition to be met to fulfill the requirements of the original permit. Planning Staff recommend that the Planning Commission approve the extension request to October, 2016, with the understanding that required parking area improvements be made to City standards during that time period per the agreement. STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (SEPA) REVIEW: A Determination of NonSignificance was issued on September 2, 2009 per WAC 197-11- 355, for the original permit. That action satisfied the City's responsibility under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). No further review is necessary as nothing has changed regarding the proposal or the original conditions of approval.

We are a commercial property and have an extension that was due but September 20013. I worked tirelessly from January 2013 until June trying to find an engineer that would do our plan for free as we have no money to pay such expenses. Dave Hanna was gracious enough to agree to do this. We sent the plans to the city engineers and after some time it was approved. Only after the plan was approved was I able to contact Lakeside Industries and inquire if they would be gracious enough to do the paving for the parking lot for free. They said they would be willing to do the paving but it would have to wait until spring when they had new charity money and also the weather would be more suitable. I have access to a few local qualified laborers to help install the apron(approach) for Second Street and will be getting input and assistance from an experienced rain garden professional. We currently have: • Approved site plan • Stormwater Discharge Permit • Approach plan in place • Drainage plan to be completed before the end of this year. • Commitment to have parking lot completed by spring of 2014. What we need from the Planning Commission is an extension until the spring of 2014 to have the parking lot paving project completed. As you know what we do at TAFY is a great service to the whole community and county. We are extremely limited in funds so waiting for others to assist us for free is what we really need to do. Thank you for taking the time to read our request. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me, Susan Hillgren @ 670-4363.

NGELES -- W A S H I N G T O N, U. S. A. s COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MEMO COMMUNITY DATE: October 13, 2010 ECONOMIC TO: Planning Commission DEVELOPMENT Nathan West FROM: Scott K. Johns, AICP Director 417-4751 RE: Conditional Use Permit—CUP 09-06 The Answer For Youth(TAFY) Extension Sue Roberds Planning Manager Following a public hearing conducted on September 9, 2009, the Planning 417-4750 Commission approved Conditional Use Permit CUP 09-06 allowing an outreach center entitled "The Answer For Youth (TAFY" to be established in Scott Johns the Commercial Office zone. The site location is 711 E. Second Street. The Associate Planner Planning Commission approved the conditional use permit with the following 417-4752 conditions of approval: Roberta Korcz Conditions: Assistant Planner 417-4804 1. The permit shall be issued for a period of one year. To evaluate neighborhood impacts, a six month progress report will be submitted Jim Lierly for review by the Planning Commission. The applicant shall submit a Building Inspector letter requesting review and subsequent extension of the conditional use 417-4816 permit no less than 2 months prior to the end of the one-year approval Linda Pangrle period (no later than the first week of July, 2010)to provide staff Permit Technician adequate time to notice, review, and schedule appropriate meetings for 417-4815 consideration of extension of the permit. 2. Hours of operation shall be limited to 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, Compliance Officer Patrick Bartho Officer Wednesday, and Friday, and 4:30—6:30 on Saturday. 417-4712 This memo responds to Condition#2 in that a letter requesting extension of CUP 09-06 was received in a timely fashion(September 7, 2010) by the Fax: 360-417-4711 Department of Community and Economic Development. The facility has been in operation for nearly one year, and during the past 6 month period, no neighborhood complaints have been heard. Comments that were received during the first 6 months of operation have been addressed. To address encroachment issues, the neighbor to the west placed a fence along the common boundary between the two properties, which has apparently eliminated confrontational encounters between clients/operators of the two businesses. Issues raised by neighbors along 2°d Street regarding parkinhave apparently been resolved by reconfiguration of the parking on the TAFY property. Vehicles are required to enter and exit the parking area from the First/Second Streets alley. Representatives of TAFY met with Public Works and Utilities Department staff to determine parking area development requirements and are aware that the parking area use may be gravel as long as entry is only via the alley and does not impact neighborhood streets as an undeveloped parking area. The applicant is requesting that Condition#1 be amended to allow TAFY to increa operational date and time to be seven (7) days a week rather than the originally approved fivdays per week. The original days/hours of operation were 3 —7 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and 4:30—6:00 on Saturday. Added dates/hours are requested to be Tuesday and Thursday with hours being 3 P.M. —7 P.M. and 4:30 P.M.—6:00 P.M. on Sundays. No comments or concerns have been received from neighbors or the general public since the February 10, 2010, review. The applicant requested extension of the CUP in a timely manner, with such extension being requested prior to the one year expiration date on September 7, 2010. Notice was placed in the Peninsula Daily News and mailed to neighboring property owners and parties of record with respect to the extension request. At the time of this staff report, no written comment has been received as a result of that notification. The Planning Division recommends approval of CUP 09-06 for an additional 3 years with the following conditions. 1. CUP 09-06 is extended for an additional three (3) year period, until September 9, 2013, for Susan Hilgren to operate The Answer For Youth outreach center as described in the application submitted to the City Department of Community & Economic Development on August 3, 2009. If extension is desired beyond September 9, 2013, such request must be submitted to the City Department of Community& Economic Development prior to the expiration date of September 9, 2013. 2. Hours of operation may be extended to, at maximum, 3 P.M. —7 P.M. Monday, through Friday, and 4:30 P.M. —6:00 P.M. Saturdays and Sundays. 3. Use of the undeveloped parking area may only occur under the conditions prescribed by the City Engineer allowing a gravel surface as long as access is prevented from the neighboring street and gravel is placed to prevent mud and debris from being deposited in the alley from the site. If the gravel driveway condition becomes inaccessible for use due to disrepair or maintenance, or access from Second Street is desired, the use shall cease until the parking area is improved to the City's more standard parking lot development design at which time access to Second Street may be utilized. Findings: 1. Following a public hearing conducted on September 9, 2009, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit CUP 09-06 allowing an outreach center entitled"The Answer For Youth (TAFY"to be established in the Commercial Office zone. The applicant is Susan Hilgren. The site location is 711 E. Second Street. 2. The Planning Commission approved the conditional use permit with two conditions. 3. Section 17.96.07•0(E) of the Port Angeles Municipal Cod•Extensions of Approved p � Conditional Use Permits reads "Extensions of approved conditional use permits shall be considered in accordance with the same procedures as for the original permit application, and may be granted for a period of one to five years, provided that the following minimum criteria are met: 1. The use complies with the permit conditions. 2. There have been no significant, adverse changes in circumstances. Upon written request for an extension submitted to the Department of Community and Economic Development prior to the expiration of the conditional use permit, said conditional use permit shall be automatically extended for ninety days to allow the City adequate time to review the extension request. F. Minor Amendment of Approved Conditional Use Permits. 1. Upon written request submitted to the Department of Community and Economic Development a minor amendment may be made to an app roved conditional use permit if. a. The amendment does not increase the intensity of the use by more than 10% of the original approval; b. The amendment will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located; 4. The applicant requested extension of the CUP in a timely manner, with such extension being requested prior to the one year expiration date on Sr _` _er , 2010. 5. Notice of the extension was placed in the Peninsula Daily News and mailed to neighboring property owners and parties of record on September 24, 2010. At the time of this staff report, no written comment has been received as a result of that notification. 6. The applicant has requested minor amendment to Condition#1 of the original approval increasing the hours of operation to allow seven (7) day a week use rather than the originally approved five (5) days per week. The original days/hours of operation were 3 —7 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and 4:30—6:00 on Saturday. Added dates/hours are requested to be Tuesday and Thursday with hours being 3 P.M. —7 P.M. and 4:30 P.M.—6:00 P.M. on Sundays. 7. The City of Port Angeles Public Works and Utilities Department approved development of the required off street parking area to a gravel standard with the condition that access to the neighborhood street be prevented. In response to this requirement, the applicant has added a gravel base to the parking area and erected a fence across the access to Second Street. The City will allow the gravel use as a trial but indicated that if the parking area becomes unusable due to maintenance issues, the area will need to be improved to the standard asphalt or concrete parking area for further use of the site. Conclusions: 1. The proposal is consistent with other uses permitted and with the purpose of the Commercial Office zone described in 17.20.010 PANIC 2. As conditioned, the proposal is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan, specifically with Land Use Element, Land Use Map Goal A, Policies 1 & 2; Commercial Goal D, Policies & 2; Utilities and Public Services Element, Goal B, Policy 3; Economic Development Element, Goal A, Policy 8 3. The proposal is consistent with requirements for the extension of a conditional use permit as specified in PAMC 17.96.070. �✓ii^_� �.: `..� ter' �.

In this time the youth that have been served are from the Port Angeles area, some homeless, some jobless, but all very much in need. • Soon after the 6h month review meeting with the commissioners, Greenwood Counseling provided a 6-foot wooden privacy fence to separate property lines. This was unexpected, very helpful and greatly appreciated by T.A.F.Y. • Since the placement of the fence by Greenwood Counseling there has been no hostile communication or neighbor issues between the two facilities, to our knowledge. • A few interactions with neighbors on 2nd street shared their concerns about parking that have since been addressed. With the negotiated agreement of additional parking at Swain's, the installation of our own facility parking lot, and the closure of our 2nd street parking entrance further issues have been eliminated. In addition to meeting the conditions of our conditional use permit, we feel T.A.F.Y. has provided an enormously valuable service to the community of Port Angeles (see the attached Appendix A-List of Services provided and youth participation statistics) Since the onset of the facility we have had a continued steady growth on the number of individuals and children that have used our services. Growth figures are available in Appendix A. • • The Answer For Youth P.O. Box 633 Port Angeles, WA 98362 360-670-4363 Hours of Operation: Hours of operation were limited to 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Saturday. WE HAVE MET THIS CONDITION. At this time, although we are unable to staff additional hours; in anticipation of expanding our volunteer staff, we would like to make a request to extend our hours of operation to include: Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. This would give T.A.F.Y. the potential of expanding its services without having to return to the commissioners for permission. • The Answer For Youth P.O.

S. A. COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DATE: May 7, 2010 To: Eric Walrath, Engineering Projects Supervisor FROM: SUE,ROBERDS,PLANNING MANAGER SUBJECT: THE ANSWER FOR YOUTH Eric: Attached is a letter from Susan Hillgren, Executive Director for The Answer for Youth (TAFY)group. A conditional use permit was approved last summer for TAFY to allow conversion of a structure for an at risk youth group at 711 East Second Street. Last fall, or early winter, the group submitted a parking lot development plan to Engineering for review. They do need to improve their parking area, in fact, it has been a major contention issue between them and the neighbors causing Police reports to be filed. The submitted parking plan doesn't work. There is no need for them to be backing into the alley when the entire west portion of the lot is a straight pass through from street to alley. I'm sure you'll agree. I believe the biggest issue is that they can't afford to surface the parking area and the property owner isn't cooperative. Nevertheless, there does need to be a usable parking lot at this location. I don't believe we can make an "exception to policy" as Ms. Hilgren has suggested. Steve has already assisted by allowing delay of the improvement for the permissible one year. Unless there is a change to our parking lot standards, I don't know that there is any other avenue other than to improve to the minimum standard. Maybe this is something we can discuss at our weekly meeting. 'THE ANSWER FOR YOU E �. , p D Dear sirs: MAY 0 4 2010 My name is Susan Hillgren. I am the president of the Board of Directors of TbeANGELES Youth(TAFY)located at 711 East 2"d Street, Port Angeles. I am writing to as apo C nit De ment to Policy"in regard to the on-site parking at our location. The Answer for Youth is a non-profit organization offering valuable services to the youth of Port Angeles and Clallam County(see attached brochure). We opened our doors on October 5, 2009, in a leased structure that was once a church. We obtained the proper permits and passed the appropriate inspections after investing our own money and time. We received a Conditional Use Permit to operate in the early evenings on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and in the afternoon on Saturday. We have no paid staff at TAFY; everything is done through the work of volunteers. We have no affiliations; all our funds come from individual donations. At this time we are just able to meet our operating costs of approximately$1,500 per month. This covers rent,utilities, and insurance. Presently we are not the owners of the building. Sara Lee O'Conner is the landlord. The City of Port Angeles wants us to put in six parking spaces on the west side of the building, hard surfaced with drainage. We estimate that it would cost more than$10,000 to complete this job; money that we will not be able to accumulate this year. That is the primary reason for the request for Exception to Policy consideration. We had submitted a proposal to the planning department but it was rejected...even though it was a plan that met the standard requirement put forth by the city. Since we cannot provide the parking in the manner that the City Planning Commission has requested at this time,we need an "Exception to Policy"as far as parking is concerned. Without it,we will have no other choice but to close our doors in six months. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Ever since the center opened,youth commonly walk across the parking lot of my building to access the center. In the past month,I have been unable to park in our lot on 3 occasions,because it was full of vehicles,although none of the other therapists in my building were on site.I presume these vehicles belonged to staff or clientele of Answer for Youth.On two occasions I did see individuals leave Answer for Youth and drive away in vehicles parked in our lot(I can only see the lot when I am going in or out of my office,so this doesn't necessarily represent the only times this happened). Youth frequently cluster outside,smoking.This pollutes the air and has an unsavory appearance.This has been less frequent since the winter rains began;I do not know whether youth are smoking inside now.

It is in my neighborhood. It was a church. Apparently the building was recently rented to some organization that works with homeless teenagers. I do not know what kind of permit that requires. However, it is my opinion that they are significantly exceeding whatever permit they have. There has been more than an excessive amount of vehicle traffic. I am not the first neighbor to be concerned. As art of the record on this building, I want to see all complaints g P g p made and actions taken in response to those complaints. Thanks in advance for any attention that you can give this matter. Sincerely, Vickie Brewer Attorney at Law My address (around the corner, less than a block from 711 E. 2nd St.) is 210 S.

Associate Planner Scott Johns then presented a brief staff report to the Planning Commission. Commissioner Boyle asked what further steps there would be in the permitting process. Planner Johns indicated that the conditional use permit was initially approved for a one year period with review at six months. If the applicant wishes to extend the conditional use permit beyond the initial approval period, an extension must be requested prior to expiration of the permit, at which time there will be a public review of the record prior to extension of the permit. Extension of the permit is based upon compliance with permit conditions. . Susan Hillgren, 12 Pearce Road., The Answer For Youth Executive Director, outlined several accomplishments that The Answer For Youth has made during its first six months of operation. Commissioner Powers asked about parking lot improvements that are required for operation of a business in the City. Ms. Hillgren indicated that she would ask someone else to address the parking lot improvement issue. Dave Hull, 343 House Road, Sequim, Vice President Board of Directors TAFY stated that a letter requesting a one year delay of the City's requirement to complete parking lot improvements was submitted to the City Engineer. As an engineer, he is working on a parking lot plan for parking lot improvements required by the City's Public Works and Utilities Department. The request for delay of improvements was made because TAFY is planning expansion of the building, and due to the volunteer nature of the organization, more time will be needed to complete the improvements. Commissioner Powers requested clarification of the memo written by City Engineer Steve Sperr that indicated a parking lot plan is needed prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. Director West indicated that there is a one year period within which an applicant has to complete the requirements and that issue is primarily between the City Engineer and the applicant. At the one year renewal hearing, if required improvements have not been made, the matter will become part of any extension action . Chair Mathews asked staff what follow-up to the letters received had been made. Planner Johns indicated that there had been several contacts made by e-mail, telephone and in person at City Hall with the letter writers. Commissioner Caudill commented that parking lots are evaluated before a use starts so that similar issues may not become an issue after a business opens. Commissioner Boyle asked what steps TAFY would take in the next few months to address the parking lot. He added that it seemed like a shame to discuss the parking lot when the Planning Planning Commission Minutes February 105 2010 Page 3 Commission should be thinking about how.effective the program is to the community. Vice Chair Matthews commented that when parking lot improvements are completed, many of the problems addressed in the letters of concern should go away. He also stated that TAFY is providing a valuable service to the community. No further comment was provided. MICHELE BRYANT, LICSW Page 1 of 2 0 • Sue Roberds -TAFY letter From: "M Bryant" To: "Sue Roberds" Date: 2/4/2010 4:25 PM Subject: TAFY letter MICHELE BRYANT, LICSW 113 S. EUNICE PORT ANGELES, WA 98362 (360)417.8018 2/4/2010 Sue Roberds Planning Manager City of Port Angeles RE: The Answer for Youth (TAFY) Dear Ms. Roberds, I apologize for the letter that you received from me a few days ago. It was not finished and was not supposed to be sent out. I saved it to my'drafts'folder, or thought I had. I was quite surprised and a little dismayed to discover that I had inadvertently sent it out in its unfinished state. The intention of the letter to you was to point out that while Ms. Hilgren is probably full of good ideas and enthusiasm, she seemingly does not understand what is required in order to be a good neighbor in a small and private neighborhood. While I am not certain of who exactly is responsible for this, it appears that our business and grounds have been blamed within the TAFY organization for being unfriendly neighbors. I don't know how else to explain the hostility, and angry confrontations that have occurred between our staff and their clientele. I am sending you, by separate email, a photograph of a sign that is posted at the entrance to their building. The sign appears to blame us for wanting to maintain our boundaries. Here are a few things for you to consider: Our business has improved the aesthetic of the neighborhood and probably caused property values to rise due to the attractiveness of our office and grounds. The same cannot be said for the 'Answer for Youth'. Their parking lot is not adequately large or properly prepared to be used as a daily parking lot. Consequently, it is a mud bog, and they have taken to blocking their parking lot off with orange construction site fencing in order to deny their staff and clientele access to it. Aside from the discordant ugliness of the orange plastic fence, their use of it has caused the streets around the 'center'to be filled with automobiles. Their clientele and volunteer staff appear to assume that they have a right to use Greenwood's parking lot. When asked to move their cars they have become hostile and belligerent. During the most recent incident, they frightened Cheryl Mantle, pounding on her file://C:\Documents and Settings\sroberds\Local Settings\Temp\XPgrpwise\4B6AF501DO... 2/12/2010 MICHELE BRYANT, LICSW Page 2 of 2 -0 automobile, and making rude gestures as she was attempting to drive away from them. Since the youth center has begun activities, the amount of debris and litter on our property has increased. We find our parking lot littered with wrappers, cans, and cigarette butts. We have had at least one client panhandled by one of the young people from the center, (not by someone attending an AA meeting). Panhandling is not, in itself, so disturbing. However, what is disturbing is that we have gone to great lengths to make our building and grounds a place of safety and sanctuary, something that our clientele needs and relies upon. A safe, regulated, therapeutic environment is the cornerstone of successful therapy. A person leaving a therapy session may be feeling distressed and fragile. They should not be accosted by anyone in what should be secure territory. The fence that TAFY proposed putting up was a small, prefabricated, lattice-work fence. It would have been both unsightly and inadequate. We believed that a propped-up lattice work fence would have detracted from the professional effect we are trying to create for our business. We are very much in favor of putting up a fence, but we want something substantial and permanent, not a makeshift boundary marker. We are now, however, planning to put our own fence up. It appears to be our only choice at this time. We have already had to go to the expense and effort of having our courtyard completely fenced in. We have installed a locked gate and had lights installed in the courtyard for security purposes. We have also been forced to contract with Evergreen Towing so that we can simply call to have their cars removed. We wish to avoid any further confrontations with angry and hostile people. As far as speaking to TAFY's adherence to the operating hours under which their conditional use permit was issued, I can only say that there is constant activity there. Sometimes there are a lot of people there, sometimes just a few. However, they do not appear to be operating within the hours of operation they agreed to when requesting their conditional use permit. All of the above problems are really only symptoms of the real issue. The real issue is that this is a quiet residential neighborhood. A youth center is out of place here, particular) since there is a large, successful, well-organized and Y 9 9 apparently well-run youth organization already in place just two blocks away. The Dream Center is in a completely commercial area, an area that is not negatively impacted by their presence and activities. I am not disputing the need for an organization such as TAFY, even though they do replicate most of the same services as the Dream Center. TAFY's presence in our neighborhood is, and has been from the beginning, disruptive. The people in charge at TAFY appear to resent us and to be targeting us for hostility by their clientele. It would have been so simple to post a sign asking their clients to please avoid using the parking lot west of their building. Putting 'DANGER' in large type and bold font on the sign is an immature attempt to make people angry and belligerent when they encounter us. The last thing I want to re-emphasize is, a residential neighborhood is not a realistic location for a sanctuary for young people with issues of this magnitude.

Shall be contoured and drained so as to collect the drainage on the site, and discharge the drainage by an approved method to an approved drainage collection system. 2. Shall be graded and paved with a hard-surface pavement of portland cement concrete or asphaltic concrete with a structurally adequate base, or other hard-surface pavement acceptable to the City Engineer. The Director of Public Works and Utilities may allow for an exception to hard-surface pavement for developments in the Industrial Heavy Zone, provided that adverse impacts to stormwater drainage, surrounding properties, and public infrastructure are mitigated to the extent the Director deems reasonably necessary and appropriate. 3. Wheel stops shall be installed where necessary to prevent encroachment upon public right-of-way. 4. The City may grant permission for temporary occupancy of a building or structure with out the parking spaces improved, provided that an improvement bond in amount of the estimated value of the improvements is provided to the approval of the City Engineer. The bonds may be accepted if, weather conditions make for unsound construction practice, materials are not available, or there are difficult site conditions. Such bond shall not exceed 12 months. 5. Building uses requiring 6 or fewer spaces may delay without a bond or the improvement of the parking stalls for up to 12 months, provided that the area is graded and maintained in good condition.

Box 1150 Port Angeles, WA. 98362 FEB 0$`Z$�$ RE: The Answer For Youth C,Ty OF PORT ANGELES. 711 East Second Street Oep t of Community Development Port Angeles, WA. 98362 CUP 09-06 Dear Ms. Roberds, My name is Reuben Caldwell. I am a partner in Greenwood Enterprises and was the general contractor overseeing the renovation seven years ago of the structure at 113 S. Eunice St., now known as `Greenwood', working alongside the primary partners, Cheryl Mantle and Michele and Todd Bryant, to create what we hoped would be a safe and inviting therapeutic environment for the community. We continue to upgrade and maintain the structure and grounds and feel it has become a focal point in Port Angeles for those seeking a relaxed, secure, and confidential setting for emotional healing and growth. Currently practicing at Greenwood are licensed mental health therapists/social workers at the Doctorate and Masters level and an Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner. All are highly trained, each with decades of experience treating all degrees of human suffering. I will attempt to present an objective witness to the actions of TAFY next to us at 711 East Second Street since this commission's granting of a temporary use permit for a `youth at risk' facility. However, I must state up front that my partner of 12 years, Ms. Mantle, has been verbally accosted on several occasions, and physically taunted, intimidated and threatened recently by members/staff/clients of TAFY, and so my protective anger understandably will color my interpretation of events. Initially, I gave Ms. Hilgren and TAFY the benefit of the doubt, thinking there was a chance they could thread this needle if they understood the guidelines set out by the city, and assiduously followed them. I visited their facility early on and had frank discussions with the staff. On one occasion, Friday, Oct. 20, 2009, 1 was taken aback by comments made by Ms. Hilgren, so much so that I made notes at the time. In essence what was stated to me by Ms. Hilgren when I asked about age requirements (agel3-24) was the following: Myself How will you be able to prevent anyone 24 or older from coming in? Hilgren: Oh, 24, 25, 26 ... you know,they all have the same issues, we won't turn anybody away. Myself. So, ... what? 34, 35, 36? Where do you break it off? Hilgren: We won't turn anybody away. Myself How do you deal with people who are breaking the rules? Hilgren: We won't tum them away ... we love them up. • 0 2 Additionally, I have personally witnessed our requests repeatedly ignored by TAFY staff and clients to respect and not use Greenwood's parking lot. They have gone as far as to blatantly deny that they even had to comply. The neglect on the part of TAFY's management to resolve the on-going conflict led to an encounter on the night of January g g � 2r that has me still upset and very concerned. This situation, as told to me by Ms. Mantle, crossed the lines. It was potentially dangerous and caused both Ms. Mantle and myself extreme distress. This incident was followed by a report to the police station and to the city of which I was in attendance. We have since resorted to purchasing a contract with Evergreen Towing to protect our parking facility. If there was a will on the part of TAFY's leadership to instruct and enforce the concept of`boundaries', none of this would be necessary. A fence should not be necessary either. In my opinion,the people TAFY purports to want to help are not well served by mentors who can't or won't enforce the concept of boundaries (physical, emotional, or symbolic), key ingredients in the maturation and healing process, or who continue to create situations in which negative attitudes towards others is demonstrated. Not one staff person from TAFY since the latest incident has reached out to any of us to express concern, a resolution strategy, or regret. In the seven years we've been at 113 Eunice St., we have never had a problem of this nature, including the time when the. church was active at the current location of TAFY. Unfortunately, the sentiment in the neighborhood has turned against TAFY's presence and without a concerted effort on TAFY's part to grasp the situation and act responsibly, more conflicts are inevitable. I don't believe that the current state of affairs will change dramatically. We at Greenwood will not hesitate to request a police presence at the slightest provocation going forward. As stated previously, I wanted to give them an opportunity in the beginning to prove they could conduct themselves properly and respectfully within our neighborhood. They did not do this and I no longer believe that their facility belongs in its location. Lastly, I must go on record to state my dismay when at the first hearing the Planning Commission Chairperson made comments regarding his personal relationship with one of TAFY's volunteers who offered testimony. Before and after she spoke, he was sharing with the audience that he knew her, allowed her to speak, and then was vouching for her veracity and thus the project by extension. His statements disqualified himself and the vote immediately following which favored the issuance of the conditional use permit. An appeal was warranted and considered by Greenwood, but we were unable to find a reference in the minutes to these ill-advised comments. SignperqY, Re en Caldwell M.

EUNICEjr i ' PORT ANGELES, WA 98362 (360)417-8018 2/4/2010 Sue Roberds Planning Manager City of Port Angeles RE:The Answer for Youth (TAFY) Dear Ms. Roberds, apologize for the letter that you received from me a few days ago. It was not finished and was not supposed to be sent out. I saved it to my'drafts'folder, or thought I had. I was quite surprised and a little dismayed to discover that I had inadvertently sent.it out in its unfinished state. The intention of the letter to you was to point out that while Ms. Hilgren is probably full of good ideas and enthusiasm, she seemingly does not understand what is required in order to be a good neighbor in a small and private neighborhood. While I am not certain of who exactly is responsible for this, it appears that our business and grounds have been blamed within the TAFY organization for being unfriendly neighbors. I don't know how else to explain the hostility, and angry confrontations that have occurred between our staff and their clientele. I am sending you, by separate email, a photograph of a sign that is posted at the entrance to their building. The sign appears to blame us for wanting to maintain our boundaries. Here are a few things for you to consider: Our business has improved the aesthetic of the neighborhood and probably caused property values to rise due to the attractiveness of our office and grounds. The same cannot be said for the'Answer for Youth'. Their parking lot is not adequately large or properly prepared to be used as a daily parking lot. Consequently, it is a mud bog, and they have taken to blocking their parking lot off with orange construction site fencing in order to deny their staff and clientele access to it. Aside from the discordant ugliness of the orange plastic fence, their use of it has caused the streets around the'center'to be filled with automobiles. Their clientele and volunteer staff appear to assume that they have a right to use Greenwood's parking lot. When asked to move their cars they have become hostile and belligerent. During the most recent incident, they frightened Cheryl Mantle, pounding on her automobile, and.making rude gestures as she was attempting to drive away from them. Since the youth center has begun activities, the amount of debris and litter on our property has increased. We find our parking lot littered with wrappers, cans, and cigarette butts. We have had at least one client panhandled by one of the young people from the center, (not by someone attending an AA meeting). Panhandling is not, in itself, so disturbing. However, what is disturbing is that we have gone to great lengths to make our building and grounds a place of safety and sanctuary, something that our clientele needs and relies upon. A safe, regulated, therapeutic environment is the cornerstone of successful therapy. A person leaving a therapy session may be feeling distressed and (2/5/2010) Roberta Korcz TAFY Itr Page 2 fragile. They should not be accosted by anyone in what should be secure territory. The fence that TAFY proposed putting up was a small, prefabricated, lattice-work fence. It would have been both unsightly and inadequate. We believed that a propped-up lattice work fence would have detracted from the professional effect we are trying to create for our business. We are very much in favor of putting up a fence, but we want something substantial and permanent, not a makeshift boundary. marker. We are now, however, planning to put our own fence up. It appears to be our only choice at this time. We have already had to go to the expense and effort of having our courtyard completely fenced in. We have installed a locked gate and had lights installed in the courtyard for security purposes. We have also been forced to contract with Evergreen Towing so that we can simply call to have their cars removed. We wish to avoid any further confrontations with angry and hostile people. As far as speaking to TAFY's adherence to the operating hours under which their conditional use permit was issued, I can only say that there is constant activity there. Sometimes there are a lot of people there, sometimes just a few. However, they do not appear to be operating within the hours of operation they agreed to when requesting their conditional use permit. All of the above problems are really only symptoms of the real issue. The real issue is that this is a quiet residential neighborhood. A youth center is out of place here, particularly since there is a large, successful, well-organized and apparently well-run youth organization already in place just two blocks away.The Dream Center is in a completely commercial area, an area that is not negatively impacted by their presence and activities. I am not disputing the need for an organization such as TAFY, even though they do replicate most of the same services as the Dream Center.TAFY's presence in our neighborhood is, and has been from the beginning, disruptive. The people in charge at TAFY appear to resent us and to be targeting us for hostility by their clientele. It would have been so simple to post a sign asking their clients to please avoid using the parking lot west of their building. Putting'DANGER' in large type and bold font on the sign is an immature attempt to make people angry and belligerent when they encounter us. The last thing I want to re-emphasize is, a residential neighborhood is not a realistic location for a sanctuary for young people with issues of this magnitude.

As of the end of December we received our status making us a credible non-profit. • Firstly let us say we have been serving the at risk youth population of the Greater Port Angeles area in a number of crucial ways: a. Services: SEE ATTACHMENT A b. Education: SEE ATTACHMENT B c. Counseling: SEE ATTACHMENT C • We have supported this population since October of 2009 with in the Permitted hours of operations Monday, Wednesday, Friday 3:00-7:00 PM and Saturday 4:30-6:30 PM. We have seen on average 13 youths and their younger children on most all days we were open. • Several Faith Based organizations and individuals have stepped up and are providing financial support and volunteers. We have also formed strategic alliances with other Community Outreach organizations. SEE ATTACHMENT D • We have also supported the community through: the Winds of Change by hosting events such as AA and NA meetings, and a Memorial Service for the father of three of our youth at the T.A.F.Y. facility . We contributed labor&materials and solicited youth in the community to participate in the design and construction of a Memorial Bench for murdered youth Melissa L. Carter. • Even though we work very hard at being a good neighbor, our efforts have been ignored and our outreach shunned. SEE ATTACHMENT E. • We have submitted a Letter to Port Angeles's City Engineer requesting a one-year waiver on our existing parking area, and are developing a plan to implement a new upgraded parking lot. T.A.F.Y. anticipates we will be able to construct a hard surface parking area to code, using volunteer labor, equipment and donated and discounted materials, within that window. The waiver and the new parking lot should greatly mitigate the current issues over parking. • We have posted rules for good neighbor behavior in our facility, through constant counseling and modeling teaching the importance of respect, courtesy and anger management to our youth.

We have put up signs to alert our visitors that the parking lot adjacent to our facility is not to be used for even temporary parking. • Parking lot problems have lead to some frustration on the part of some neighbors.

It is my understanding that the Planning Commission will be meeting this month to review whether or not the conditions of the original proposal are being met.Therefore,I will respond to the issues of parking and hours/time of operation. I have been a business owner for over 25 years and have had offices in both Port Angeles and Sequim. In fact,when 711 E.Second was occupied as a church,both sides worked in accord. This is the fust time that I have experienced such blatant disrespect/disregard from business neighbors. The fact that this organization has either been unable to or unwilling to contain their business to their property speaks volumes. In less than 6 months, I have watched a quiet neighborhood become very chaotic and disrupted. In my previous letter (8-30-09), I had expressed grave concerns that lack of structure could ultimately create a negative impact on our business and property.I expected problems might arise and I was told by TAFY staff that they wanted to be good neighbors.In fact, even in their proposal and their testimony in front of the Planning Commission, they stated that parking would have minimal impact.I expected that problems would be resolved in a timely and constructive manner.This was not to be the case. Pagetwo TAFY review Instead, what has transpired since TAFY has opened for business has left me amazed and exhausted.I have spent nearly every day(including evenings and weekends)having to address parking or trespassing concerns created by them. On numerous occasions I and others have attempted to discuss our concerns with Susan Hiligren, Pam Fosnes and other affiliates of TAFY. However, rather than provide the adequate parking that is mandated by the City, they continued to ignore the problem.The parking situation became worse and they were unwilling to address our requests.Some of the adults became more hostile,aggressive and challenging. I have become their focus because I have tried to stop them from parking in our parking lot. I have been harassed, challenged and physically threatened during the time that they have been next door. A few of the people who have acted this way towards me have identified themselves as the volunteers working with the youth. This is inexcusable behavior. Fighting TAFY over our rights as business owners or needing law enforcement to help us feel safe on our own property is ludicrous. To have to spend this much time trying to get an organization to be responsible for their actions is unnecessary. We have had our business on the corner of 2"and Eunice for nearly 7 years.To the best of my knowledge there has not been a complaint by any of our neighbors.If there had been we would have been on it immediately and cleared up any concerns.Furthermore,we have not ever had to place towing signs on our property.Yet,when I was recently told by a member of TAFY that we"can't stop them from parking on our property unless we have signs up!" (1-27-10), I decided enough was enough. We now have signs and the additional yearly cost of keeping those signs visible. All I had actually been shown by this latest event was that there seems to be more investment in challenging our boundaries than there is in being compliant with the laws/conditions of the city or the social norms of a business ownership.Their good intentions are now meaningless to me. As for the hours/days of operation it is problematic to know what is occurring regarding the original youth center agenda as outlined in Ms. Hilgren's proposal. Now there is much more activity(more days open,more hours open,AA/NA meetings of all age levels).It is hard to tell when the youth center is open or if other business is being done simultaneously.It appears that many people come and go and vary considerably in age. The turmoil has been constant. page three TAFY review We have had many occurrences that have been reported and ignored by TAFY:youth hanging out in our parking lot and in our yard,one youth panhandled a client who was sitting in her car in our parking lot, adults wandering into our parking lots and talking to our clients, a TAFY volunteer coming up to the lobby area and being insistent about using the parking lot during the week for recovery meetings(as my clients are trying to get through the door for a group therapy session),just to name a few.Most of us in our building have had to either write or verbally request that the owner and other volunteers do a better job of containing their business to their own area. We have had to calm neighbors who were visibly upset, fearful, anxious and confused by the activities of TAFY.It has been a very unsettling experience. From the onset of this project, including the first hearing, there has been hardship. Which brings me to a situation that I feel compelled to address before closing this letter.Towards the end of the public hearing(09-09-09),a woman arrived late asking to speak as a proponent of the project(TAFY).She was immediately recognized by the Chairman,Doc Reiss,and told she could go to the podium.Upon completion of her statements,Chairman Reis announced that he knew her(Cookie Kalfir)and that he believed that anything she was involved with would be a good project.His statement appeared biased and he needed to recuse himself prior to Ms. Kalfir speaking.He did not. I was and still am quite concerned that this misjudgment might have influenced the final vote. And although I do not believe there was any malicious intent involved,this incident is too noteworthy to ignore by all parties concerned. In summary, I believed from the beginning that this project location was a poor choice. My worst concerns have played out in a short amount of time.It is not our responsibility to make TAFY abide by the laws or the guidelines of their conditional use permit. It is the City that must assess the impact of this organization. I am requesting assistance in this matter and a reconsideration of the previous decision. Thank you for your time.

The Answer For Youth currently rents this building from Sara Lee O'Connor. Said facility has an inadequate parking lot under current Port Angeles regulations. The Answer For Youth, as Sara Lee O'Connor's agents, are working on developing a plan for upgrading the parking lot to meet current standards. We plan on submitting a plan shortly, but request your permission to continue our use of the existing parking area while the plan is developed and the parking lot upgraded.

It is disturbing to know that people who are seeking assistance for a social problem are not respectful of the property rights of others. Ms. Mantle was in this morning and I was unable to speak to her due to pressing deadlines, but we will be meeting on Friday morning. Your property and the subject site are zoned for office use, as you know. The use of the site for professional and business uses is permitted without a conditional use permit. In speaking with Ms. Hilgren this afternoon regarding her progress report and concerns that have been made including a police report being filed by the Mantles, I believe the incidents are relative to the AA meeting use, not the youth activities. I could be wrong about that as I have not spoken to Ms. Mantle as yet about the matter. However, if the incidents are related to a permitted use (business/office use), they would indeed be Police matters and not ones that are related to the use of the site under the conditional use permit. Issues that we can try to resolve under the conditional use permit would be related to the youth activities, e.g., hours of operation, days of operation. A permitted business/office use would have no such restrictions, but you are correct in your statement that a business/office use is required to have adequate off street parking. They are currently working out a parking lot plan, and I have a meeting, also tomorrow (Friday) to discuss that with one of their representatives. I have a feeling that most of the issues of concern are a result of irresponsibility, disrespectful behavior, and some sort of perceived retaliation, when in fact, I would think that people who just want to be left alone would not want to draw attention to themselves. I discussed the matter of someone parking in your parking lot on a weekend, and told Ms. Hilgren that it doesn't matter what day it is, if it's not their property, they shouldn't be parking there. She understands that. She said that she discussed putting up a fence to demark the boundaries such that there would be no mistake where they are, but your partnership discouraged that. It might be a good idea. Certainly I am sorry you have to mark your parking lot for towing purposes, but no one can then say they were not warned. It is disappointing, but appears necessary. I will speak to Ms. Mantle tomorrow, and I will continue to speak to the proponents in an effort to determine if the incidents are youth related. Sincerely, about:blank 1/28/2010 • Page 1 of 1 Sue Roberds From: "M Bryant" To: Date: 1/28/2010 1:02 PM Dear Ms Roberds, As one of the owners of Greenwood, the therapy office building at 2nd and Eunice, I am writing to express my dismay at the way in which the business which was originally touted as a sanctuary for street youth is being operated. From the beginning there have been infringements upon our property,our renters and our clients from this business. Our therapists and clients have been panhandled on our property by'youth'from this business. Frequent NA/AA meetings are being held there, which brings in many vehicles and these vehicles are parking in our parking lot. Their own parking lot is a muddy swamp, so they have blocked it off, making it impossible for their clients to park on their property. The streets in this neighborhood are being taken over by cars which block the streets to the nearby resident's for parking. In particular l am writing because there was an ugly incident last night. Cheryl Mantle asked a man to remove his vehicle from our parking lot. He refused to remove it and began yelling at Ms. Mantle. He was joined in this by 4 other people who backed Ms. Mantle up to her own vehicle. She tried to explain that she has nothing against ANNA but was shouted down. One woman beat on the wind of Ms. Mantle's car then did a'dance'when Ms. Mantle was finally able to pull away from the curb. This was precisely the sort of incident we were worried about when the conditional use permit was granted for this business. Our worries were dismissed. It is not only we who are concerned. The neighbors are very upset and have taken to coming to us to complain about what they see happening to their neighborhood. We have tried directing them to City Hall but I'm not sure how many you have actually heard from. People in this neighborhood are intimidated by the folks who are hanging around the'youth'center, and rightfully so. We are all in favor of helping out people who are drug and alcohol addicted and also in favor of providing shelter and food to homeless young people. However, this neighborhood setting is not an appropriate venue for such an effort. Our business is being negatively impacted by this group and we are extremely disturbed by incidents such as the panhandling of our renters and clients and by mob scenes in our parking lot. We are taking the step today of having Evergreen towing put signs into our parking lot stating that illegally parked cars will be towed. This is costing us money that we otherwise would not have had to spend. The cost for this service is $125.00 per year and $14.00 per sign. We will not hesitate to make use of this service but it is sad that we have been forced into such and unhappy situation. file://C:\Documents and Settings\sroberds\Local Settings\Temp\XPgrpwise\4B618AE7DO... 1/28/2010 • 0 Carol J.

He said the streets and private parking areas are full of non-resident cars on a regular basis. He expressed frustration at not getting intervention from the City regarding this matter.

I have the pleasure of knowing several of the Board Members for their organization and I know of their tremendous passion, talents and abilities. In my position as a Project Coordinator with Sheriff's Department, I'm responsible for the Clallam County DUI Traffic Safety Task Force and the Community Mobilization Against Substance Abuse and Violence. Over the past 25 years,I've served as a board member of several organizations involved in working with local youth to help them reach their full potential. These organizations include: Boys Scouts of America, Camp Fire Girls,Yes To Youth,Prevention Works!,Port Angeles Healthy Youth Coalition, Special Olympics, America's PRIDE, and the Clallam County Community Network. I am very familiar with the many needs and varied challenges that the youth of our community face in today's world. Some of them come from broken homes, others are living on their own and still others are homeless. Many have dropped out of school and have had difficulty finding gainful employment in today's struggling economy. In several cases,they have been negatively impact by their own drug use of that of others in their life. For far too many of them,there are limited programs and resources available to assist them. Despite the incredible work of so many groups, agencies, and programs for local youth,there is still a huge need for more efforts and involvement. The challenge for"The Answer for Youth"is undeniable and tremendous. I wholeheartedly support their vision and plans. I urge you to do all that you can to make their dreams a reality and to help those young people with such desperate needs. Together,we can make a difference that benefits all members of our community. Thank you for your time and attention.

It is our sincere hope that the City of.Port Angeles will make every effort to accommodate The Answer For Youth in any and all applications that facilitate establishing and running this worthwhile youth outreach project. Sincerely David R Hull President Board of Trustees Unity In the Olympics Port Angeles,WA Planning Commission Minutes September 9,2009 Page S CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT—CUP 09-06—HILGREN,711East Second Street: Request to permit an outreach center in the Commercial Office zone. Associate Planner Scott Johns reviewed the Department report recommending approval of the conditional use permit with conditions. Commissioner Boyle asked how the operation would be analyzed. Planner Johns responded that the applicant could best answer that question. Mr. Johns added that violations of the City's Municipal Code are enforced by Code Enforcement personnel. Susan Hilgren, 12 Pierce Road, Port Angeles, WA said that there would be a minimum of three qualified volunteers present during hours when youth and young adults are served at the proposed outreach center. She anticipated 25 to 30 youth/young adults could be served within the first year. In response to Commissioner Powers, Ms. Hilgren responded that the age group of those served can be from 13 to 24 years of age but is most likely to be in the17, 18, 19 year age range from past experience. In discussion regarding whether the "kids" referred to are youth or young adults, Ms. Hilgren said she considers those served by the outreach center to be kids because they are younger than middle age. All of those served are needy in spirit. - Ms. Hilgren distributed three letters of support from Jim Borte, Project Coordinator, Clallam County Sheriff's Department, Patsy Feeley, and David Hull, President Board of Trustees, Unity of the Olympics, Port Angeles, that were read into the record by Planning Manager Sue Roberds. In response to Commissioner Boyle, Ms. Hilgren said that she absolutely counsels those served of the need to seek gainful employment. She and other volunteers help to teach those served how to fill out applications and handle job interview and responsibility situations. In response to Commissioner Reiss, as to what the proposed outreach center would provide that the existing DreamCenter does not offer, Ms. Hilgren stated that the DreamCenter offers only a place to stay, the outreach center hopes to also provide spiritual needs and follow through with teaching those served how to deal with every day issues and become responsible citizens. The outreach center will operate on a limited basis due to the need to provide adequate supervision when open. Hours of operation will be Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. The center will be locked when there are not volunteers present to supervise. She asked if AA meetings and/or a daycare center would be possible at the site. Pam Fosnes, 1028 East Seventh Street addressed the Commission regarding the location of the outreach center in relationship to other uses in the area. A glass recycling center and other light industrial uses are found east of the proposed location in the immediate vicinity, a park is south across the street, an active commercial corridor is across the alley to the north, and apartment and residential uses are east. This is not a quiet area at present as has been stated by public comment in the staff report. Many kids already frequent the area. Ms. Hilgren is a licensed counselor who has worked with families and youth issues for many years. She is passionate about her work and Planning Commission Minutes September 9,1009 Page 6 serving youth. She helped start the DreamCenter and will supervise volunteers at the proposed center. Ms. Fosnes stated that she is a registered nurse who is trained in assessing physical and psychological needs. If it is perceived that there is a need that cannot be addressed by the volunteers, they will not hesitate to refer to another responsible professional. The volunteers are respectful of veterans' needs and those of needy people seeking help. Music will only be of the sort conducive to relaxation and will be kept inside the structure, not in the parking area, or such that it can be heard outside the building. Loud music is not conducive to quality conversation. David Hall,343 Hause Road, Port Angeles, WA is a volunteer with the center. He is a licensed emergency medical technician and retired from the Air Force. He has worked with outreach centers and is anxious to work in this program as a supporting volunteer. Those served will be taught respect, responsibility, and will be monitored as to their progress and short comings with love and respect in return. Other centers offer only support for the physical person. This outreach center will support the physical and spiritual needs of those served. Carey Canby, 712 East Second Street lives in the neighborhood. She asked why the location was chosen and why the DreamCenter is not satisfactory? It doesn't seem that another center is needed such a short distance apart. She objected to the activity and thought that some of her other neighbors felt the same who had not come to the meeting. In response to Chair Reiss, Ms. Hilgren responded that most of the volunteers previously worked at the DreamCenter. There being no further testimony or questions, Chair Reiss closed the public hearing. Commissioner Caudill asked staff how concerns would be tracked. Attorney Greenwood answered that Pen Com would record any complaints reported to the Police Department and Municipal Code issues such as noise, would be investigated by either the Police Department or the City's Code Enforcement personnel. Chair Reiss re opened the public hearing to those who had arrived late to the meeting. Cookie Kalfir, 221 Mt. Pleasant Summit, Port Angeles, WA stated that she is the principal of Choice School. The proposed center is not a drug abuse facility. The area will be significantly improved from what is there now. The outreach center does not recognize barriers but serves the whole person, not just the physical person. There being no one else wishing to speak, Chair Reiss once again closed the public hearing. Commissioners Matthews and Boyle were concerned regarding the method of reporting activities at the center. Other Commissioners spoke regarding the need for assistance in the community with social issues and stressed that, if approved, strict conditions would need to be observed by those served to be respectful of other uses in the area. Times of operation would need to be strictly adhered to. Chair Reiss noted that he was familiar with Cookie Kalfir and her work as principal of Choice School. Planning Commission Minutes September 9,1009 Page 7 Planning Manager Roberds noted that this is a land use issue and the matter must be decided on its merits relative to land use impacts. Commissioners continued to discuss the need for monitoring activities at the site and its location in a mixed commercial location with a mix of office and residential uses as well. Commissioner Matthews thought that a review period could be helpful to ascertain progress and impacts that may not have been considered. Commissioner Caudill moved to approve the conditional use permit subject to 2 conditions, and citing 12 findings and 4 conclusions in support of that action as follows: Conditions: 1. The permit shall be issued for a period of one year. To evaluate neighborhood impacts, a six month progress report will be submitted for review by the Planning Commission. The applicant shall submit a letter requesting review and subsequent extension of the conditional use permit no less than 2 months prior to the end of the one-year approval period (no later than the first week of July, 2010) to provide staff adequate time to notice, review, and schedule appropriate meetings for consideration of extension of the permit. 2. Hours of operation shall be limited to 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and 4:30— 6:30 on Saturday. Findings: Based on the information provided in the Community and Economic Development Staff Report for CUP 09-06 dated September 9, 2009, including all information in the public record file, comments and testimony presented during the public hearing, the Planning Commission discussion and deliberation, and the above listed conditions of approval, the City of Port Angeles Planning Commission hereby finds that: 1. Susan Hilgren submitted Conditional Use Permit application CUP 09-06 to locate a youth outreach center at 711 E. 2nd Street. 2. The site is zoned Commercial Office. 3. The Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Commercial. Adjacent designations are also Commercial, with nearby designation including Open Space and Low Density Residential. The site is located in the City's North Central Planning Area. Development in the surrounding area includes a wide variety of commercial uses, both low and high density residential uses, and a park. 4. Per 17.96.050 PAMC, the Planning Commission shall consider applications for conditional use permit uses as specified in the applicable Chapter of the Zoning Regulations. The Planning Commission may grant said permits which 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. In each application the Planning Commission may impose whatever restrictions or conditions are considered essential to protect the public health, safety, welfare, and to prevent depreciation of neighboring property. Conditional uses Planning Commission Minutes September 9,2009 Page 8 shall be evaluated to determine if the characteristics of the intended use as related to the specific proposed site would defeat the purpose of the City's Zoning Regulations by introducing incompatible, detrimental, or hazardous conditions. The Planning Commission may refuse to issue a conditional use permit if the characteristics of the intended use would defeat the purpose of the City's zoning regulations. 5. City staff has determined that the proposed use is compatible with the intent of the zone and can be considered for approval by conditional use in the Commercial Office zone. 6. The City's Comprehensive Plan was reviewed for consistency with the proposal. Land Use Element, Land Use Map Goal A, Policies 1 & 2; Commercial Goal D, Policy 2; Utilities and Public Services Element, Goal B, Policy 3; Economic Development Element, Goal A, Policy 8; were found to be most relevant to the proposal. 7.

Reviewing City Departmental comments were considered in the review of this application. No objections or concerns were raised by reviewing departments. 9. Notification of the proposed action and conditional use permit application was placed in the Peninsula Daily News on August 17, 2009. Public notice was mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property on August 14, 2009. Notice of the proposal was posted on the site on August 18, 2009. Three public comment letters were received during the public comment period. The letter writers-all were concerned about the level and quality of supervision provided at the center, the nature of activities to be offered by the center and how the activities may affect existing neighborhood activities, and that the clientele described in the application materials would bring an increase of adverse or disruptive social issues and behaviors to the neighborhood. 10. Application materials indicate the hours of operation will be from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays. Application materials further indicate that the center's mission and intent is to mitigate and reduce the source of the adverse social issues and behaviors through education, counseling, and access and direction to community resources. 11. A Determination of Non-Significance was issued for this proposed action on September 2, 2009. 12. The Planning Commission opened a public hearing on the proposal at the September 9, 2009, regular meeting. Conclusions.- Based onclusions:Based on the information provided in the Department of Community and Economic Development Staff Report for CUP 09-06 dated September 9, 2009, including all of the p g information in the public record file, comments, and testimony presented during the public hearing, the Planning Commission's discussion and deliberation, and the above listed conditions of approval and listed findings, the City of Port Angeles Planning Commission hereby concludes that: 1.

As conditioned, the proposal will allow a drop-in center for youth and young adults to be located and operated at 711 E. 2nd Street in Port Angeles, with specified hours of operation and operational characteristics. The condition provides for review period to ensure that negative impacts can be addressed if they occur. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Boyle and passed 5—0. i �c September 9, 2009 To Whom It May Concern: Susan Hillgren has asked that I submit a letter of recommendation based on our association in the community over the past years. I am happy to do so. I've found Susan to be extremely focused energized, knowledgeable eable and very compassionate in her work, community outreach and to her family. She has the ability to quickly identify issues and work toward her goal with vigor and resolve. She is a creative problem solver with excellent thinking skills. She certainly put all these skills to work in her employment working with youth over the last fewy IIears.� I have always been impressed with Susan's ability to grasp new ideas quickly and adapt them to all her work projects, always with great enthusiasm and follow-through. I am very much interested in Susan's plan to continue to work with the youth of Port Angeles. I would be happy to provide any further information you may require. incerely, Patsy L. eley PO Box 2 96 Port Angeles, WA 98362 (360) 452-9048 (09/09/2009) Scott Johns Re.

I have a couple of questions for you and I hope you can take some time to answer them this morning. The first question is, if problems arise with the youth center, whom do we contact? We are running a profitable and sensitive business right next door. If we begin to have young people camping in our nicely landscaped patio area, find obnoxious litter in our yard, are plagued with Rap music, to whom do we complain? We cannot wait 10 months to have a chance to point out issues such as these. May we call you, since you are the person who is recommending the approval of the conditional use permit? Secondly, it has been brought to my attention that you have a prior relationship with Ms. Hilgren; that you and she are on "friendly' terms and that you consider her to be a "nice person":. Since you seem predisposed to approve of her personally, it seems to me that you might possibly have a bias in your approval of her business plan. I understand that this is a small town and people do know one another. However, in this case it seems to me that you might have recused yourself from this decision, leaving it up to someone who had no personal bias in this matter. This decision of yours impacts my business in what can only be a negative way. I'm terribly unhappy about the apparent ease in which your decision was made without further comment from us or more discussion. Sincerely, Michele Bryant, LICSW • P 0R.TN L� �'S `- W A S H I NGTO N, U. S. A. COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT TO: Planning Commission FROM: Scott K. Johns, Associate Planner DATE: September 9, 2009 RE: Conditional Use Permit CUP 09-06 APPLICANT: Susan Hilgren OWNER: Sara Lee O'Connor LOCATION: 711 E. 2nd REQUEST: Allow an outreach center for youth and young adults in the CO zone. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Division recommends that the Planning Commission approve CUP 09-06 with 2 conditions, citing 10 findings and 3 conclusions in support of that action as listed in Attachment A. EXISTING CONDITIONS IN AREA: The site is located at 711 E. 2nd Street in Port Angeles and currently contains a vacant building that has most recently been used as a church. The site is generally level and contains no other buildings. An area to the west of the building has been graded and graveled to allow parking on the site. The site is zoned Commercial Office. Surrounding land uses include single family residences to the east, even though those parcels are zoned for high density residential use (RHD), and across 2nd Street to the south where the zoning is Residential Single Family (RS-7). Directly to the east of the subject site is a private professional counseling office, also located in the Commercial Office (CO) zone. Properties to the north and west of Eunice Street are zoned Commercial Arterial (CA). Developed land uses in the CA zone include single family residences, apartments, and commercial uses. To the southwest of the site is Webster Park. Also located within the general area are Civic Field, Erickson Park containing the Dream Playground and the skate park, the YMCA, and a wide variety of commercial and residential uses. DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: City Departments reviewed the proposal and provided the following comments: The Fire Department reviewed the application and had no comments or objections. Department of Community DevelopmentS Report September 9,2009 CUP 09-06—Hilgren 0 • Page 2 The Public Works and Utilities Department had no comments. The Building Division of DCED will require building permits for improvements that involve structural work. PUBLIC COMMENT: Notification of the proposed action was placed in the Peninsula Daily News on August 17, 2009, posted on the subject property on August 18, 2009, and mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property on August 14, 2009. The public comment period closed on August 31, 2009. One comment letter was received via e-mail during the public comment period. The letter writer operates a private counseling service at the property directly adjacent to the west side of the subject site. The concerns expressed are that the zoning is for office and residential only and that the proposed youth center does not expressly fit those categories. The author stated that the proposed use is not appropriate for the site. Further, there is concern that allowing a youth center to begin operating next door would jeopardize their business as the success of the business is predicated on having a secure and quiet space and the serene setting of their business. The inclusion of music as part of the youth center activity description raised concern of disruption to their business due to potential loud volume. Some clients of the counseling center are veterans with combat related posttraumatic stress disorder who are hypersensitive to the sound of children's voices and modern music. The letter writer continues to question the appropriateness of the age range of clientele proposed by the applicant and that the center would be run by volunteers. Parking on site is another issue raised. The letter is attached for your reference. ANALYSIS: The entire Comprehensive Plan and Port Angeles Municipal Code were reviewed with regard to the proposal and the references listed in Attachment C were found to be the most relevant to the proposal. In addition to the Comprehensive Plan goals and policies, development regulations in the Commercial Office zone are also included in Attachment C to this staff report. The City's Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map identify the area as being located in the North Central Planning Area and the site is designated as Commercial. The 10,444 square foot site is zoned Commercial Office (CO) and has been used as a church for the past several years. The building has been vacant or unused for several months. The building contains separate restrooms, a kitchen/dining area, and a second floor with smaller rooms, in addition to a main gathering area. The site contains a graveled parking area on the west side of the structure. The Commercial Office zone "is a commercial zone intended for those business, office, administrative or professional uses that do not involve the retail sale of goods, but rather provide a service to clients, the provision of which does not create high traffic volumes, involve extended hours of operation, or contain impacts that would be detrimental to adjacent residential areas". Although a youth drop-in center is not specifically listed as a permitted or conditional use in the CO zone, the proposed center meets several of the criteria listed in the purpose section of the CO zone, including: no retail sales; provision of services to clients; not creating high traffic volumes; and not having extended hours of operation. There are currently several uses that are listed as permitted or conditional that have similar characteristics and activities that the applicant is proposing. Those Department of Community Developmenteport September 9,2009 S R CUP 09-06—Hilgren • Page 3 uses with similarities to the proposed use include; personal services facilities, business and professional offices, and personal instruction. PAMC 17.20.160 (P) allows "other uses compatible with the intent of this Chapter" conditionally to be located in the CO zone. The application materials indicate that activities proposed will include such things as counseling regarding substance abuse, classes for employment preparation such as food handlers license or resume writing, parenting and family planning classes, other life skills classes, and spiritual counseling. The center's stated function does not include entertainment or recreation activities, however, it is stated that "music will happen on a routine basis". Discussions with the applicant have indicated that the music that will be provided will act as background only and not be the focus at the center. Application materials also indicate that the center will act as a connection between churches, service organizations and agencies, businesses, schools, and the public. It is staffs conclusion that the proposed use does meet the criteria of compatibility with the intent of the Commercial Office zone and is therefore allowable as a conditional use in the zone. Proposed operating hours for the center are limited and are stated as from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays. No night time activities are proposed. The center is to be staffed by volunteers with a minimum of 3 trained adults on site during all operating hours. No detail as to the level or subject of training of the adult supervisors was provided. The site contains six off-street parking spaces. Additional area for parking is readily available for additional parking if the need arises. It is not anticipated that additional parking will be required. Due to the nature of the programs offered and the expected clientele at the center, it is unlikely that additional parking needs will arise. A similar center is located within 2 blocks of the subject site. Observations of that operation and discussions with staff have indicated that parking is not an issue at that center. The site is situated in an area of the city with a wide range of surrounding uses. The site is not on an arterial thoroughfare but is one block from First Street, which provides transit service and commercial activity. Several parks and recreational facilities are nearby and additional social services exist within a reasonable distance. Even though this type of use is not unique and another such use exists in the vicinity, the full extent of potential impacts to a neighborhood may not be completely anticipated. Concern has been raised by neighbors as to how the use may impact the neighborhood. Due to these concerns and uncertainty regarding impacts, it is suggested that the use be reviewed after a reasonable period of time of operation and provided with the opportunity to mitigate unanticipated impacts, or in the event that unanticipated impacts are detrimental to the neighborhood and not able to be mitigated, that the conditional use be discontinued.

Findings: Based on the information provided in the Community and Economic Development Staff Report for CUP 09-06 dated September 9, 2009, including all information in the public record file, comments and testimony presented during the public hearing, the Planning Commission discussion and deliberation, and the above listed conditions of approval, the City of Port Angeles Planning Commission hereby finds that: 1. Susan Hilgren submitted Conditional Use Permit application CUP 09-06 to locate a youth outreach center at 711 E. 2nd Street. 2. The site is zoned Commercial Office. 3. The Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Commercial. Adjacent designations are also Commercial, with nearby designation including Open Space and Low Density Residential. The site is located in the City's North Central Planning Area. Development in the surrounding area includes a wide variety of commercial uses, both low and high density residential uses, and a park. 4. Per 17.96.050 PAMC, the Planning Commission shall consider applications for conditional use permit uses as specified in the applicable Chapter of the Zoning Regulations. The Planning Commission may grant said permits which 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. In each application the Planning Commission may impose whatever restrictions or conditions are considered essential to protect the public health, safety, welfare, and to prevent depreciation of neighboring property. Conditional uses shall be evaluated to determine if the characteristics of the intended use as related to the specific proposed site would defeat the purpose of the City's Zoning Regulations by introducing incompatible, detrimental, or hazardous conditions. The Planning Commission may refuse to issue a conditional use permit if the characteristics of the intended use would defeat the purpose of the City's zoning regulations. 5. City staff has determined that the proposed use is compatible with the intent of the zone and can be considered for approval by conditional use in the Commercial Office zone. 6. The City's Comprehensive Plan was reviewed for consistency with the proposal.

The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map should be used as a conceptual guide for determining current and long-range zoning and other land use decisions. The map's land use designations are intended to show areas where general land use types are allowed. The area between land use designations should be considered an imprecise margin in order to provide flexibility in determining the boundary of such areas. When determining appropriate zoning designations for an area near a margin,the goals, policies and objectives of the Land Use Element should take precedence. 2. All land use decisions and approvals made by the City Council and/or any of its appointed Commissions, Boards or Committees should be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and its land use map. Commercial Goal D, Policies 2; 2. Public uses such as government offices, public service buildings, and other public and quasi- public facilities and services should be allowed in commercially designated areas. Utilities and Public Services Element, Goal B, Policy 3; 3. As a "supporter," the City should promote and cooperate in providing programs and services including: • Library programs such as information and assistance • Affordable housing information and referral • Economic and business development services • Tourism information and services • Schools and community learning • Fine arts • Community recreation • Public and private youth, family and senior services • Telecommunications and • Crime prevention programs. Economic Development Element, Goal A, Policy 8; 8. The City should encourage training and educational opportunities, which strengthen and increase the variety of skills available in the work force. ZONING ORDINANCE 17.20.10 Purpose. This is a commercial zone intended for those business, office, administrative or professional uses that do not involve the retail sale of goods, but rather provide a service to clients, the provision of which does not create high traffic volumes, involve extended hours of operation, or contain impacts that would be detrimental to adjacent residential areas. Department of Community Development S "Report September 9,2009 CUP 09-06—Hilgren • Page 8 Commercial uses that are largely devoid of any impacts detrimental to single family residential uses are allowed. This zone provides the basic urban land use pattern for small lot, transitional uses between residential neighborhoods and commercial zones with direct access on an arterial street and design standards compatible with residential development. 17.20.160 Conditional Uses.
