In 2011, the Fifth Street Community Garden was built under a conditional use permit with the City and the garden is currently full with a waiting list for plots. Having a second public garden would allow the Port Angeles Community Garden Committee to expand their program to the west side of town and continue to bring this successful and positive element to our community. Recommendation: Approve and allow the Port Angeles Community Garden Committee to place a secondary Community Garden at Wolverton Park, and to work directly with the Parks and Recreation Director for implementation.
