PAGE TWO - MINUTES OF MAY 26, 1977 SHORT PLAT ORDINANCE The public hearing scheduled for this meeting was cancelled. At the Workshop meeting this month it was determined the rough draft being considered was not adequate to fit the needs of Port Townsend and it would be necessary to develop another one. The Steering Committee scheduled a tentative meeting for June 2, contingent upon the availability of City Attorney Glenn Abraham. The Commissioners learned that the City Council will hold a public hearing on the Mobile Homes proposal, at their next meeting. In view of the extensive work to be done on the City Zoning Ordi- nance update, Density Zoning, Short Plat Ordinance, and other important matters and, in view of the limited time the Commission can expend on them, the Commissioners feel they will need help to expedite some òf this work. Their lengthy discussion probed into all possibilities which might be available to them, including a part time City Planner, or an Intern from one of the schools. The meeting was adjourned. é~(;.¿~~ Evelyn Charkow Secretary (
