Vice-Chairman Del Graham called the meeting to order, All Commissioners
were present; Randy Tyler, City Planner also present. The minutes, which
were mailed to the Commissioners, were approved.
The first matter of business was the scheduled public hearing on the
request of J. Leslie and Barbara M. Donovan and Anthony E. Btroeder, for
a rezone for property located at: Glenwood Addition to the City of Port
Townsend, Blocks 5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12, All lots in blocks indicated - from
-I A to M-I,, for the purpose of developing a light industrial park.
In the audience were many of the surrounding property owners, and others,
who presented varying degrees of concern and disapproval of this rezone .
A large portion of the possible uses listed under M-I of the City
Zoning ordinance was read by Randa Tyler. Mr. Stroeder was present to
express his views. Members of the audience who were ha in opposition
were: Bob and Doris Watkins, Frank Kilham, Mr. and Mrs. Wiggins , Ms.
Libby Evans, Charles Wallin, Carol Winterburn. Principal objections
voiced were: impact on the environment, water sources and tables ,
traffic, location/setback/fences/green belts.
Fred Lester and Roger French favored an Environmental Impact statement.
The Commissionerssgenerally favored this be put through a PUD procedure,
since the Zoning ordinance has no teeth in it to protect the city from
objectionable uses to which a property can be pint after it has been
rezoned to M-I . On a Motion by Lowell Tiller, seconded by Robert
Johnson, it was voted to table the application until after the explora-
tion of the PUD concept, and to reopen the application for consideration
at that time without bias of any vote at this time, VOTE: yes 6 no
The next item on the agenda was the public hearing on the consideration
of an amendment to the City ordinance to include commercial development
under PUD Section 4 ,05 , Attention was given to the possibility that
the PUD Section should perhaps be amended to include all uses -
re s ' den ti al, commercial, and 'Industrial . A further study of this Section
by the Commissioners and Mr. Tyler, revealed the possibility the present
reading of the ordinance (with perhaps minor revisions) might appy for
all uses. On a motion by Robert Johnson, seconded by day Wojt, it was
voted to table the PUD change proposal - until the February 10 meeting,
at which time it would be continued. NOTE: yes 6 no o .
Results of the election of officers for the year 1975 were, by unanimous
Grote, as follows:
Chairman: Fred Lester
Vice Chairman: Robert Johnson
Treasurer: June Scott
The meeting was adjourned.
