and Planned Unit Development (PUD) known as Rosecrans Terrace; and
WHEREAS,the original preliminary Plat, Plat Alteration and PUD applications
were submitted on or about October 5, 2004 (LUP04-122) and, as approved, sought to
create 28 new residential lots from approximately 6 acres. The new lot configuration is
achieved via the re-platting of 30 existing lots along with several sections of unopened
street and/or alley rights-of-way lying within the Laurel Shade Addition to the City of
Port Townsend; and,
WHEREAS,the Port Townsend City Council granted preliminary approval to the
Plat and Planned Unit Development(PUD), subject to certain clarifying conditions as set
forth in their Findings, Conclusions and Order on Appeals from the Hearing Examiner
dated October 23, 2006. In granting their preliminary approval, the Council overturned
the Hearing Examiner's decision, and granted preliminary approval conditioned on a
modification of the residential lot configuration to provide the project with additional
open space and buffering provisions necessary for final PUD approval. Other than these
modifications, Council accepted all other project conditions as recommended by staff to
the City's Hearing Examiner. Following the exhaustion of judicial appeal .remedies by
parties of record, the conditions of preliminary Plat, Plat Alteration and PUD approval
were established; and,
WHEREAS, the Public Works Director has previously reviewed and approved
Applicant's construction plans for all required project infrastructure and found their
installation to be in compliance with the approved plans (City File No. SDP14-030). So
long as a security for the completed infrastructure improvements is established,the Public
Works Director recommends Rosecrans Terrace be granted final approval and recorded
with the Jefferson County Auditor; and
WHEREAS,the Development Services Director has found that, aside from
completion of three (3)remaining items, the Applicant's request is in conformance with
Council's October 2006 Findings including all applicable environmental mitigation
measures. The 3 remaining items include: establishment of a performance security for
completion of the required landscaping; the completion of minor edits to the plat map
required by City and/or County staff; and, finalization of a Planned Unit Development
Agreement (PUDA) signed by both the applicant and the City. Upon completion of the
above items, Rosecrans Terrace will be consistent with Chapters 17.32, 18.16 and 18.24
of the PTMC and recording of the final Plat and PUDA with the Jefferson County
Auditor may occur.
WHEREAS,the City Council has reviewed the proposal and concurs with staff's
recommendation.

Port Townsend as follows:

Development and authorizes and directs staff to facilitate recording of the final
Plat with the County Auditor, subject to posting of the required security bonds and
