Emil Nelson Shortplat. Mr. O'Neill was recognized and explained that the Planning Commission has signed off the final plat for this short subdivision as well as the Public Works Director and it is now ready to recieve final approval from the city council. A discussion ensued with regard to the installation of the fire hydrant and the wisdom of requiring a performance bond to guarantee that the work is done and access to San Juan. Councilmember Owsley made a motion that the council adopt the following ~L~ndings, conclusions, and ~opditions and approve the flnal plat of this subdivision which was seconded by Councilmember Camfield and passed unanimously by voice vote. FINDINGS OF FACT I 1. The applicant proposes a short subdivision of approximately 2 acres into four lots pursuant to Chapter 18.38 of the Port Townsend Municipal Code. The applicant has submitted a plat titled (PRELIMINARY) EMIL NELSON SHORT PLAT prepared by Alan S. Carman of David Evans and Associates dated March 9, 1989. 2. The subject property is within the R-I zoning district and is de~cribed as Vacated Arcade Addition to the City of Port Townsend in Section 2, township 30, Range 1 West, W.M.; Tax Number 14. The Arcade Addition was vacated in November, 1923. The subject property is bounded by "F" Street to the south, San Juan Avenue to the west, platted and unopened Albany Street to the north, and Block 2, Hunt's Addition to the east. 3. The applicants propose four lots as follows: a. Lot 1, 1.03 acres (44,735 square feet) b. Lot 2, .41 acres (17,795 square feet) C. Lot 3, .26 acres (11,192 square feet) d. Lot 4, .25 acres (10,860 square feet) Lot 1 contains an existing dwelling which is occupied by the applicant. Lot 1 also contains a second single family dwelling which is legal and nonconforming. 4. The "F" Street right-of-way is 60 feet wide, the San Juan Avenue right-of-way is 100 feet wide, and the Albany Street right-of-way is 50 feet wide. I 5. The preliminary short plat submitted by the applicant proposed that the four lots would have vehicular access to and from San Juan Avenue. Access to the existing dwelling on Lot 1 is currently from San Juan Avenue, while access to the second dwelling on Lot 1 is currently provided from "F" Street. The existing driveway serving Lot 1 from San Juan Avenue is approximately 65 feet north of the in tersec tion of "F" S tree t and San Juan Avenue, w7hi Ie the existing driveway serving the second dwelling on Lot 1 is approx- imately 90 feet east of this intersection. On April 13, 1989, the applicant submitted an amended plan of access to lots 2, 3, and 4. The applicant proposes that access to lot 3 be from Albany Street. The applicant also proposes a common access point to lots 2 and 4 from San Juan Avenue. The proposed access point would be located at the southwestern portion of Lots 2 and 4, and then serve individual driveways to the proposed lots. Access to Lot 1 would remain unchanged. 194 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF MAY 16, 1989 Cont. "",-'~'~-"'~-"~'~-'---""-'-"--"---"'--"W-'--"""----"..,--,.-----_..-' ."...,.' ,- ........'--.....--". 6. The transportation circulation section of the Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan designates San Juan Avenue as an arterial street, while "F" Street is designated as a collector street. section 18.38.120 of the Port Townsend Municipal Code states that "Short subdivisions shall incorporate limited access provisions where they are adjacent to arterial or collector roads". Furthermore, the transportation circulation policies in the Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan state that "In order to provide for public safety and to minimize public expenditures, traffic circulation routes should incorporate limited access provisions whenever possible." 7. The Design criteria for Short Subdivisions set forth in Section 18.38.120 of the Port Townsend Municipal Code require that minimum roadway design standards shall be in conformance with "City Design standards," published by the Washington State Department of Transportation, January, 1980, or latest revision (Section 18.38.120(B)(2), Port Townsend Municipal Code). These state standards include the Minimum Roadway Design Standards for New Construction in cities and Towns which establish the minimum right-of-way width for access streets at fifty feet, and the minimum surfaced portion of the access street at twenty-four feet wide. I 8. Water supply would be taken from an existing 10-inch water main in San Juan Avenue. Lot 1 currently has water service available; proposed Lots 2, 3 and 4 would be served by 3/4-inch lines extending from the 10-inch main in San Juan Avenue. 9. Sewage disposal would be accomplished from an existing sanitary sewer line which extends through a proposed 20-foot-wide easement in proposed Lots 2, 3 and 4 to an existing 10-inch main in Albany Street. The sewer line currently varies in diameter from eight six inches to four inches, and serves the existing dwelling on Lot 1. 10. There are no existing fire hydrants adjacent to or within 300 feet of the site. The preliminary plat submitted by the applicant does not show the location of a proposed hydrant. I 11. The proposed plat does not include a proposed drainage system. 12. The subject property is not traversed by any watercourse, stream, or drainage channel; is not in a flood-control zone; and is not within 200 feet of a body of water of statewide significance. Conclusions 1. The proposed short subdivision as submitted, with separate, multiple access driveways onto an arterial street, is not in conformance with the goals and policies of the Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan. However, the proposed amended short subdivision, developed under the conditions specified below, is in conformance with the goals and policies of the Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan. 2. Although the site is served by two developed streets, the applicant's access plan as submitted is not in conformance with Chapter 18.38 of the Port Townsend Municipal Code. Recorded plats of the property and adjacent property show that a 50-foot right-of-way exists abutting the northern boundary of the site which could be used as access to and from the property from San Juan Avenue. Because Albany Street is located approximately 385 feet north of the intersection of "F" Street and San Juan Avenue, it would also be reasonable to provide limited access from San Juan Avenue. I 3. The proposed short plat, as submitted, does not meet the criteria of Chapter 18.38 of the Port Townsend Municipal Code. Under the conditions prescribed below, however, the proposed short subdivision would meet the purposes, standards and criteria of Chapter 18.38 of the Port Townsend Municipal Code, 1. 2. I 3. 4. I 195 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF MAY 16, 1989 Cont. CQNDITIONS Easements shall be provided for utility installation and maintenance and shall conform to standard width of five feet on each side of interior lot lines and five feet along front lot lines. City water supply must be provided to each lot at no cost to the City and without placement of reservations of future use of water lines so provided. An as-built plan of installed water connections and lines shall be provided to the Public Works Director. The applicant shall submit a sewer improvE~ment plan approved by the Public Works Director prior to final plat approval. A fire hydrant shall be installed by the applicant at the northwest corner of Lot 1. The hydrant shall be supplied and installed in conformance with city specifications and the Uniform Fire Code, and the precise location shall be subject to approval from the Public Works Director. 5. The applicant shall develop an access plan which provides access to proposed Lots 2 and 3 from platted Albany street. Albany street shall be developed in accordance with Washington state Department of Transportation "city Design Standards" from platted San Juan Avenue eastward to the point of access for Lot 2. The point of access to Lot 3 from Albany street shall be no closer than 125 feet from the San Juan Avenue right-of-way. Access to Lot 4 shall be from San Juan Avenue. 6. Should Lot 1 be further subdivided in the future, access to Lot 1 and any new lot(s) created shall be provided from a single, common point of ingress and egress. 7. A storm drainage plan for the proposed plat shall be submitted to and approved by the Public Wo,rks Director. The final short plat shall be prepared pursuant to all of the applicable requirements of Chapter 18.38 of the Port Townsend Municipal Code and shall be submitted to the City Council within three years of the date of preliminary plat approval. 8 NEW BUSINESS RESOLUTION NO. 89-40 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT TOWNSEND ~UTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN A CONTRACT WITH THE WASHINGTON STATE COMMITTEE, INCORPORATED Councilmember McCulloch made a Botion that the council adopt the resolution which was seconded by Councilmember Cliseand passed unanimously by voice vote.

Kevin O'Neill was asked to explain the procedure outlined under the State Environmental Policy Act when written comments are received which he did. Mayor Shirley asked if there is anyone who would like to make a change to the declaration of non- significance issued on this project. Councilmember Kenna asked how this declaration will affect the disposition of the Pink House.
