RE: CASE NLIMBER
g6rl2402g
Dear Mr. Neilson and Board Members:
The Port of Fort Townsend and the City of Port Townsend have reached the following
agreement which resolves all of the concerns the Port had regarding the Comprehensive plan
adopted by the City.
Issue Nio. l: Land Use Designation
A. Kai-Tai Lagoon
-
Port-Ouvned Progerty Leased to thq City within the General
Kai-Tai Lasoon Area - The Port will provide the City with a map of the Kai-Tai area which
shows Port-Ovned properties within the Kai-Tai Lagoon area. The City staffwould then,
through hash-marks or some other designation, clearly delineate the Port-Owned property
within the Kai-Tai I-agoon area. The City staff would further recommend for adoption by
the Council a resolution which, in substance, would state iN follows:
Designated properties are owned by the Port of Port Townsend and leased to the City of
Port Townsend for use as a public park. At such time as the lease from the Port !o the
City terminates for any reason, the Port shall be free to apply for whatever land use
designation which would be consistent with the Port's proposed use of the properry at
that time. Upon such application by the Port, the City shall review the land use and the
designation as
*P/OS
Existing Park or Open Space" shall not be controlling.

B. Fort Worden Beach
- The'Port will provide the City with the legal description of
the Port-Owned property at Fort Worden beach, and the City will clearly designate that
property on the land use map as Port-owned property:
Issue No. 2: Port Townsend Boat ltraven Ileight Restriction
It is the Poft's understanding that the City staff takes the position that the chart
showing the 35 foot height restriction was simply a carqr-over from previous restrictions
imposed by zoning. It is further the Port's understanding that the.City staff recognizes that
planned uses within the Boat l{aven will in all likelihood require construction of buildings
higher than the 35 foot zoning restriction. It is the Port's understanding that City staff will
consider the requirements of the Port for building heights of at least 50 feet in enacting the
zoning ordinances for that area, and that the Port's position will be considered by the
Planning Commission prior to enactment of the zoning ordinances in April 1997.
Issue No. 3: New llay Fisheries and M - IIA
It's the Port's understanding that the City staff acknowledges that it was never the
intention to exclude New Day Fisheries and its fish processing operation from the M - IIA
Land Use Designation. It is further the Port's understanding that City staff, at the time of
enacting of the zoning ordinances, will recommend that fish processing be an included use
within the M - IIA designation.
Issue No. 4: Water and Claltam Streets
The City staffhas agreed to amend the Land Use map to reflect that vacated Water
Street at the Boat Haven and vacated Clallam Street at Point Hudson are in fact vacated. and
acknowledge that this was an omiision in the mapping process.
Issue No. 5: Quincy Street Ilock
It is the Port's understanding that the City acknowledges that the right-of-way for the
east half of Quincy Street north of the Quincy Sfeet Dock is not
"P/OS
Existing Park and
Open Space." It is the Port's understanding that the City acknowledges that the designation
as it is shown on the Land Use map w:ui a result of a mapping convention which will be
corrected in the next map. The City acknowledges that it was never intended to make the
eastern one half of Quincy Street lying north of the Quincy Street Dock
"P/OiS
Existing Park
and Open Space.'
