The meeting was called to order at 6:00 PM by Chair Randels.
II.
ROLL CALL
Planning Commission members present were: George Randels, Harriet Capron, Steve Emery, Alice King,
Roger Lizut, and Cindy Thayer. Liesl Slabaugh was excused, and Jeff Kelety continues to be on leave of
absence.
III.
ACCEPTANCE OF AGENDA
Mr. Randels asked if there were any proposed changes to the agenda.
Ms. Thayer asked if the workshop items would be done first, before SMP. Mr. Randall said, yes, but it
would be very brief, limited to handing out materials for the following week. There was a discussion about
meeting start/end times for September 29 and October 6, and a suggestion to begin at 6:30 or 7:00 PM,
because of the difficulty of 6:00 PM for Ms. Slabaugh. There was also clarification about the agendas for
those upcoming meetings, i.e. both would include public hearings for proposed ordinances.
Mr. Randels moved that, with the additions to upcoming meetings and the proviso that the times of the next
two meetings would be revisited later, the agenda be accepted. Mr. Emery seconded. All were in favor.
IV. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Mr. Randels asked if there were any corrections to the minutes for August II.

NEW BUSINESS
Workshop Items
A. Formula Stores: Mr. John Watts, City Attorney, gave a brief surmnary of the proposed Formula Store
legislation. This Connnission appointed a sub-couunittee comprised of George Randels, Roger Lizut
and Steve Emery to review, with staff, the proposed formula store legislation. A memo prepared by the
sub-couunittee (EXH. 8, 092205) describes the process followed and recommendations of the
subconnnittee. It states that the subconnnittee recommends in favor of Formula Store legislation,
similar to the interim ordinance, but with concern about legal vulnerability in the coutext of equal
protectiou. Mr. Watls explained that the City had retained Seattle attorney, David Bricklin, to prepare

an independent opiuion, which along with other supporting materials is attached to EXH. 8. The
primary question is What is the legal basis with which to distinguish zoning regulation differentiating .
between a formula store or restaurant and a non-formula store or restaurant, square footage being equal.
He said that both he and Mr. Bricklin pointed out that there is an absence of appellate court authority
on the issue, in Washington or anywhere else, for a precedent to inform this process. He also pointed
out a memo from David Goldman in the packet, documenting Mr. Goldman's position in favor of
formula store legislation.
The current ordinance, with some clear exemptions, is recommended to be carried forward. It would
apply to formula retail, formula restaurants; formula establishments are defined as having a certain
number of characteristics, like a standardized array of merchandise, menu, signage, etc. Exemptions
include services such as insurance, real estate, grocery stores, banks. auto sales, health care, etc. There
is a conditional use process for formula restaurants to go through, and some other restrictions: not to
exceed 3,000 s.f.; cannot co-locate with another formula establishment in the same building; cannot
have more than 50 ft. frontage. The reach of the ordinance is in the commercial districts ouly, It would
not apply, as drafted, to Fort Worden, but does apply to Point Hudson and the Boat Haven. The other
distinctiou is that formula retail/restaurants are not allowed in the Historic Commercial area. He said it
was important to understand that the basis for any such regulation is not and cannot be economic
protectionism. The draft makes it clear that the basis is to protect the unique character, the special
place of the town, the historic district, and the tourist economy. That is, tourists do not come here to
visit formula stores; they are attracted by the existing unique character and feel of the town. He said it
is also intended to protect against traffic impacts. He asked commissioners to e-mail any questions in
advance, so that he and Mr. Randall will be prepared to answer them at the hearing. Mr. Randall also
pointed out that the existing (Number 2869) and the new proposed (has a blank instead of number)
ordinance drafts were also among the attachments to the memo.
B, Statutory Street Vacation: The Planning Couunission subcouunittee, George Randels and Cindy
Thayer, met twice with Mr. Randall and Mr. Watls. The recommendation was to retain the concept of .
interim regulation that preserves the right of way for development, allow uses like landscaping but not
fencing, and retain the concept of interim regulation that would not allow the vacated right of way to
gain increase in the number of lots or increase in the density. The underlying basis of the draft
ordinance is that the town was laid out in a block pattern with rights of way between the blocks, over
100 years ago. The Comprehensive Piau, pursuant to GMA requirements, includes residential density
plans developed on that same basis, specifying ratio of lots to blocks for each zone. It would be
inconsistent with the Comp Plan to allow an increase in density by allowing structures to be placed in
the rights of way. The draft ordinance does not deal with development regulation requirements; it
simply deals with the uses. Staff requires more time to review that aspect with Public Works. The
concept, at the subcouunittee level, was that the development regulations would remain the same,
whether developing using existing rights of way or using former, now vacated, rights of way. City
engineering desigu standards would apply in either case.
Mr. Randels asked if any member of the audience wished to speak about either of the two workshop
matters. There were none. Commission members had no questions for staff, so the workshop was
closed.
Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program Update Public Hearing
(Continued from September 15, 2005 and previous meetings.)
Mr. Randels, once again, opened this portion of the meeting by stating that the public hearing was continued
from previous meetings, and that the rules read at the first meeting remain in effect. He asked commission
members to state if any circumstances had changed with regard to conflicts of interest or other relevant
items. There were none. Mr. Randels then asked Mr. Surber to begin the staff presentation, and to please
remind the Couunissioners of what chapters/sections remained to review.
Staff Presentation:
.
Planning Commission Meeting
Minutes for September 22, 2005
Page 2
.
Judy Surber, Senior Planner, said that she had developed a table to track progress and work remaining. She
said that the commissioners should have already received Chapter 8, which would be reviewed at this
meeting. Chapter 9 ( EXH. 2), is in the packet for tonight. Chapter 10, July 21 version in the binder,
remains to be reviewed; Mr. Randall will point out the highlights. Chapter I I - 13 were doue at the last
meeting.
For Chapter 3, Ms. Surber will provide a summary of the inventory. For Section 5.13, there are RV and
other language changes to review. Impervious surface limits need further review, and transient/residential
uses in the Urban Designation will also require attention. In addition, substantive revnites or changes
scattered throughout the document will be compiled and reviewed once more after all the chapters have
been edited by the Couunission.
Chair Randels noted that, as agreed, he had checked with Mr. Watts regarding a question in Chapter 12, and
could report on that at the appropriate time.
Ms. Surber identified each of the exhibits above. For EXH. 3, she noted that the Port's suggestions for
Chapter 9 were received too late to incorporate within EXH. 2; she has v.rritten her comments in the margin.
EXH. 4 is also from the Port, and will be reviewed at the next meeting.
Ms. Surber explained what is meant by specific modifications and how Chapter 9 is intended to be used.
She walked through the highlights outlined iu her staff report (EXH I.). She noted that although there is
natoral overlap amoug various chapters, she found that Chapter 9 was much too cumbersome and needed to
be pared down. She and Paul Inghram are still working on that; EXH. 2 coutains edits primarily from the
Department ofFish aud Wildlife. She said she gave great defereuce to those suggestions because they are
responsible for issuing approvals for hydraulic projects, work done around the OHWM:, and have vast
experience with bulkheading, etc.
.
Ms. Thayer asked, at this poiut, iff etch was defined in the documeut and it was agreed that it should be
defined in the Glossary.
Public Testimonv:
Larrv Crockett, 153 McCUrdv Point Road, PT
After a few preliminary remarks that followed ou the meution of the term fetch above, Mr. Crockett said he
would like to speak to two points in Chapter 9. Regarding DR-9.4.6, he said that the origiual draft called
for docks uo higher than 3 feet above the water, nor exceeding 6 feet in width. He said that in both Port
marinas, there are wider sttuctores, aud that is of necessity for streugth. Also, that for specific purpose
floats, the width must be significantly greater than 6 feet, for stability and safety reasons. He gave specific
examples of 12 aud 20-foot width requiremeuts. He noted that Ms. Surber had already put an OK next to
the Port's proposed revision.
The second item was DR-9.4.7 in the September 22 draft, which he had uot seen before. He said that the
origiuallanguage was adequate, and that he wasu't certain what the intent of the new language was. He
recommended reverting to the previous wording.
.
Mary Winters, Port Attornev, apologized for the late submittal of the Chapter 9 edits, which she deemed
"really small". In walking though EXH. 3, she said the intent of adding "or shoreline exemption" in Policy
9.3.1, was to be clear that there are certain actions that alter the shoreline, like the Larry Scott Trail, that are
allowed. She said she wasn't clear that Ms. Surber's suggested language actually addresses that point. For
9.4.2, both policy and DR, she said that the origiuallanguage prohibited liveaboards; Judy's ( Surber) uew
language "except in marinas" is acceptable, if the Connnission prefers it to what the Port submitted. The
last section, which Larry Crockett had just commented on, was intended to clarify that the situation is
different within marinas. EXH. 4 was an attempt to draft something by pooling collective notes ( Crockett,
Toews, and Winters) to make it easier for staff, based on Alice's language. We put it in the passive voice
Planning Commission Meeting
Minutes for September 22, 2005

and attempted to change the tone of it. She said, "You had agreed that the mixed nse facility could
potentially go on the parade grounds, correction back forty, leaving the parade grounds open, but only if the .
size was commensurate, so we tried to address that concern." Footnote I is not intended to remain in the
text. In 5.13.5.4 we tried to clarify this objective of replacing RV income with anotherrevenue source...
Referring to a recent City Council meeting, she said this mixed use facility is confusing to them, and is
probably going to be a relatively big issue at some point. She said that she realized that the definitiou of
mixed use facility was crucial, and she asked if the Planning Commission might think about whether those
defmitions work or need to be reworked. The entry for liveaboards in the table needs to be made consistent
with the text. She also requested a copy of the list of vistas and the findings and conclusions, as soon as
drafts are ready.
Chair Randels then closed the public comment portion of the meeting, for September 22.
Staff Resoonse:
There was none.
p1:mnlni! Commission Deliberation:
Mr. Randels said that before getting into the detailed review, he would like to take lime for discussing larger
issues, including the resort issue and what happened at City Council meeting.
Ms. Surber said she did not have full information about the City Council meeting issues and outcome, as
yet. She asked Mr. Randall ifhe had any information to share. He said he was not present at that meeting.
He understood that the zoning code amendment text that Council had seen did not have accompanying
defmitions and text laying out the full picture of the mixed use facility and related regulations. Mr. Randall
reasoned that the Planuiug Connnission had debated and reviewed the issue quite a bit, and although it may
need to be refmed and explained, he did not necessarily believe the Couunissioners need withdraw or
completely rethink the SMP policies/regulations involved. Mr. Emery intetjected that he recalled that the .
outdoor decks issue was also voted down or changed from what was recommended. (Several people
responded that that was not the case -- the mixed use item was the only thing that was sttuck.) Apparently,
due to illness and schedule conflicts, there were uo planners present to answer questions or offer
background and rationale.
Since Mr. Crockett had been present at the City Council meeting, Mr. Randels asked ifhe had additional
information to share with the Connnission. Mr. Crockett noted that the PDN newspaper had reported the
Council deliberations incorrectly. He said the connections between the RVs, the revenue stream, and the
facility had not been made clear. He said his understanding was that the 3500 s.f. per restaurant had been
approved, and that a deck can be in addition to that, assuming permit requirements and HPC approvals are
met. They did not disapprove of the mixed nse facility per se; what they disapproved was the additional
3500 s.f. restaurant associated with it.. Any restaurant in that facility would be allowed only the unused
portiouofthe 11,000 s.ftotal. Ms. Thayer asked if the schedule and process for the City Council and SMP
would allow a Planning Commission representative an opportunity to address this and other issues directly
with the Council members. Mr. Randall said the schedule was not final, but he expected there to be a
workshop and at least one hearing, possibly others, beginning as early as October 20. Mr. Randels said he
would plan to attend the workshop and at least one hearing, and would encourage other Commissioners to
attend, as well.
Mr. Randels then reported on his communication with John Watls regarding Section 12.4.2. He read Mr.
Watts' response, which advises striklng one sentence and suggests new language that he would support. (A
copy of the e-mails exchanged on September 20 and 21, 2005 has been labeled as EXH. 5, 092205.) Mr.
Randels said he did not think the new sentence was necessary. He moved that everything following the first
sentence in 12.4.2 be stricken. He added that he was not suggesting that Mr. Watts' new sentence be
added. Mr. Emery seconded that. Ms. Thayer said since she hadn't been party to the e-mails, she could not
vote on the motion. She said she would like to have a copy in order to consider it. Mr. Randels reminded .
that he had wished to debate this issue the previous week, and was urged to consult with Mr. Watts. Mr.

Mr. Raudall gave a brief introduction to Chapter 10. He said that as the administrative and procedural
chapter, it contains no new policies or regulations. The new things that are introduced are with regard to the
permits. In the current SMP, there are no administrative conditional use permits, administrative minor
shoreline substantial developmeut permits (Type II's), or administrative variauces. He said staff runs into
situations, rather frequently, where an exemption allows a very minor activity. However, for a slightly less
minor activity, a substantial development permit is reqnired. So, the tools or options are not adequately
graduated to fit the range of applications normally encouutered.
In this SMP update, Mr. Randall drafted new procedures with lower thresholds, to deal with less significant
developments more efficiently. Within the section for each, he attempted to follow a similar format. First,
there is a description and explanation about what the pennit is, what the process is, and a reference to
section 20.01 of the Port Townsend Municipal Code. He not~d that neither Mr. Watts nor Mr.Inghram
believed that the citation ofPTMC 20.01 would imperil the Code or make it subject to DOE review. The
tables at the back of the chapter are presenting the textual information in a different format. (He noted that
the tables have formatting errors, which will be corrected.) Some of the application information has beeu
pulled from the WACs. Au example is how to deal with multiple permits in a single process.

Chapter 12 - Mr. Randels and Mr. Watts e-mail exchange:
Motion on 12.4.2 was pending distribution of written material and further discussion.
Mr. Randall distributed copies of the documeut, as requested earlier in the meeting. Ms. Thayer began to
make a motion, and Mr. Randels reminded that there was a motion, with second, pending. He restated the
motion as: that we drop everything after the first sentence of that section. Ms. Thayer commented that the
City Attorney had been consulted and, since he and the City will be on the line for any impact, his revision
should be accepted. Mr. Randall agreed. Mr. Randels said he would agree to a friendly amendment. Ms.
Thayer moved to accept Afr. Watts recommendation to drop the second sentence and add his sentence in
place of the deleted sentence. The motion was approved.
Schedule Review:
Ms. Surber suggested that she would like to schedule the September 29fu 6-7:00 PM hour for SMP
revisions, including EXH. 4, the Point Hudson Resort issue.
Ms. Thayer asked if the October 6 meeting could start at 7:00 PM. Mr. Randels said that would be better
for him, as well, since he would be flying in to Sea- Tac during the afternoou. Mr. Randall said the order of
business would need to be: Statutory Street Vacation hearing; Formula Stores Findings and Conclusions
Review; then, time permitting, SMP Findings and Conclusions. October 13 is currently not scheduled for
the Planning Commission, and the Cedar Room would likely be in use by City Couucil for the second
reading on Formula Stores. The schedule will remain tentative pendiug progress during the next two
