COMMUNICATIoÑS From: The following communications were read and acted upon as follows: ,To: Alaska Power & Telephone Company 702 Water St., Port Townsend City Council Dear Mr. Youngblood: I have been advised by the City Clerk, Mr. Mickey Youhgblood, and subsequently, by the City P-lanning Commission on May 30, 1972, to submit a formal request to the City Council for approval of the rezoning of the following described property as required from an Rl single, family designation to R 111 multi~family designation: Property Property Property located at 1404 Larehce: Legal de~c~iption: - Lots I and 3 in Block Y ~f Kuh~'s Ra~ch Addition. located at 1256 Lawrence: Legal de~cription: Lot I of Ku~n's Ranc~ Addition. located at 429 Harrison St.: Legal description: Lot~ 2 and 4 in Block 84 in Original Townsite. -, I 386 MINW~ES ,OF THE REGULAR SE6SION OF JUNE 6, 1972, CONTINUED ---,._--_.,-------, -- , - -,--- We feel that these three properties which are in or adjacent to the area from the Post Office to the library 1'1 fire:station, police station and telephone central office complex, are in the area most favorable to multi-family 1 housing. This area is also within easy walking distance of stores, doctoring and other service facilities. We ~ feel this area is very likely to attract high rise and town house development perhaps over the next decade. We ~ are ready to commence the development of these three 10,000 square foot properties which were purchased with I, multi-family housing requirements in mind. The first step in our paIn provides for the remodeling of the building!: at 1404 Lawrence Street into three apartments at a minimal cost of around $7,500. It is our intentioo to use thes~ three apartments as a sample of the potential rental market in Port Townsend, as only information obtained from i; actual rentals, applications for rentals, and the cost of providing this housing can we base substantial commit- ments of money and labor fore development purposes. We want to start our remodeling program at 1404 Lawrence Street immediately. However, wer intend to.comform to not only the letter of zoning, but the principle as well. We fell there is little question that these prop- erties should be zoned R Ill, multi-family. We feel it is a misuse of community property in tbis area to be zonded R 1, and used by ever increasing numbers of families on large garden home tracts allover an area which is ideal for the concentration of multi-family housing. I am submitting this request to the City Council, with a copy to the City Clerk, along with the appropriate S25.00 rezoning fee, for their appropriate action with the hope and belief that the council will take the appropriate action for the best interest of Port Townsend and its people. I expect to be at your next scheduled meeting on June 6, 1972 to answer any questions. /s/ Clarence D.

He stated the council would have the Planning Commission's recommendations by that date.
