APPROVAL OF MINUTES: September 9, 1993 Enarson made a correction on Page 3, under Committee Report. Enarson clarified that she walked "in the area of the property. " Erickson moved to approve the minutes as amended, and Welch seconded. All were in favor. III. COMMUNICATIONS: Current mail A. Letter from James Ramey withdrawing Conditional Use Application #9306-04. · IV. OLD BUSINESS A. David Green, Short Plat #9306-04 1. Commission review of changes to staff report Thayer excused herself due to conflict of interest. Erickson had a question on Page 7, about the access easement. Sherwood asked Green if he would like to comment on the language on page 7 dealing with the access easement, specifically the wording "non-exclusive." David Green spoke before the commission, saying that the wording had been worked over by his lawyer and he had no problem with it. Erickson moved to accept the revision of Green Short Plat #9306-04, with new language as added to Bloomfield Staff Report. Enarson seconded. All in favor except for Rickard who abstained because he was not present during discussion. B. Port Townsend School District #50, Conditional Use Permit #9308-02, Grant Street School · Thayer reentered the meeting at this time. Sherwood left the meeting because a conflict of · Planning Commission Minutes Meeting of September 30, 1993 Page 2 interest exists, as she is an employee of the school district, as did Welch, whose wife is also a school district employee. 1. Staff Report (Perkins) Perkins read through the staff report for the commission, recommending approval as conditioned. Rickard asked why the conditions in the environmental checklist were included, as before they have always been included by reference. Thayer said that she saw no reason to go through and read the conditions in the checklist. 2. Public Testimony David Werner, of Heery International said that he was available to answer questions. 3. Committee Report (Erickson/Baird) · Baird said that it looks like a good idea. · Erickson said that she had one concern, and that is under "Transportation." She questioned why the City Council felt there is a need to issue a sidewalk development plan that seems to be conditioned along with approval. There has been a concern for years of safety of our children walking to school. The school should definitely participate along with the City. She wondered why this is put on the school's Conditional Use Permit. Rickard noted that there was no requirement that a walkway be put in, only that it be in a long-range plan. Perkins said that the City looked at attaching the construction of walkways to the permit in the new SEPA ordinance, but realized that the school district isn't entirely responsible for constructing sidewalks. Schools obviously have a huge impact on the safety of children on the streets. Instead of requiring the school district to construct sidewalks, it is the goal of the City to begin to set priorities for their development along with the development of the Transportation Plan. Baird said that the proposal seems straightforward and useful. 4. Commission Discussion and Conclusions Baird moved that Conditional Use Permit 9308-02 be recomended to City Council for approval. Rickard seconded. All were in favor. · · · Planning Commission Minutes Meeting of September 30, 1993 Page 3 C. School Port Townsend School District #50, Conditional Use Permit #9308-04, High 1. Staff Report (Perkins) Perkins read through the Findings and Conclusions, recommending approval to the commission. 2. Public Testimony David Werner asked if the building had to be occupied within a year, or if the building permit had to be obtained within a year. Perkins said that the building permit had to be obtained within a year. 3. Committee Report (Rickard/Enarson) Rickard suggested striking a redundant sentence, pointed out a typographical error on page six, and asked a question about Exhibit D, Campus Site Plan, and Exhibit E, Parking Plan. An access road seemed to be drawn through the middle of a building. Werner clarified that the access road shown is the current road, and that the plan does not show a proposed access road, coming off Blaine Street across what is now the middle of the field. Rickard said that he would like to recommend that the parking plan be amended to show the new access, and that it should be accurate by the time it gets to Council. Enarson had nothing to add. 4. Commission Discussion and Conclusions Erickson asked who is the acting Fire Chief. Perkins replied that Tom Aumock is, in Chief Howard Scott's absence. Rickard moved that the Planning Commission recommend to Council adoption of Conditional Use Permit #9308-04 with the following changes: ommission of second sentence from Findings of Fact #1, correction of spelling of "parallel" on page six, and that prior to receipt of this matter by Council that the applicant provide an accurate parking plan showing the proposed access drive. Enarson seconded. All were in favor. · · · Planning Commission Minutes Meeting of September 30, 1993 Page 4 V. NEW BUSINESS A.
