PUBLIC COMMENTS Dr. Eugene Medina, Superintendent Port Townsend School District, made follow up comments to the Council Workshop of June 13, 1995 regarding the San Juan Avenue Project. He expressed concern that as of September 1 st none of the proposed sidewalk and road changes are scheduled to be in place. He noted some student statistics. Within a 1-mile walking radius of Blue Heron Middle School, 16 students from 6th, 7th, and 8th grades come from North Beach; he stated they have safe walkways and they can deal with that. From the west side potentially 45 students walk, from the east side 66. He announced the School District is planning in interim optional transportation system construction shuttle, so students in that area do not have to walk down the construction corridor. He explained sidewalks are needed on both sides of San Juan Avenue; east side first and some kind of walkway on the west side. He stated they need crosswalks in front of the school at the start of school, and a left mm lane for busses and cars. Dr. Medina said they need an accurate timeline on these San Juan Avenue projects. Mr. Bob Harper requested that due to shortage of allocations the Comprehensive Plan Transportation Committee look at priorities for funding of roads. Public Safe _ty Space Study: Mr. Carl Nomura spoke about the middle site, San Jan Avenue and Discovery Road. He said he had had no intention of selling and would like to have the area stay residential. He suggested whatever land the City needs be surrounded by industrial area. Mrs. Kathleen Jackson stated she lives next door to Carl Nomura at Site #1, around the comer from Site #3. Mrs. Jackson said she circulated a petition securing 406 signatures from neighbors. She suggested a site at the Industrial Park on Sims Way which would not impact people. Mr. Lars Watson said Carl Nomura has dreams for his property and that the City should pay for his dreams and not take his property. He indicated the Nomuras had lived at the location for 7-8 years and whatever they did would be worthy of Port Townsend. He suggested the City consolidate parcels of land it already owns. Ms. Brenda Martin stated the City had taxed to the point of no more bonds. Mr. Greg McMillan suggested putting an option on property for a Public Safety Building. He stated the City is all bonded out. Mr. Franz Witte said this issue should be slowed down, that we should not have something so overwhelming. He suggested multiple sites, even at more expense. He urged that the public be included in the process. Ms. Margaret Schermerhom circulated pictures she had taken of the sites and also pictures that also been overlaid with projected obstructions. Ms. Elizabeth Scarborough said she had no objection to the facility being built near her but did not feel it would serve the City's best interests and is opposed to taking the Nomura land. She stated that the Police and Fire Stations should be built separate from each other to better serve in a disaster. Ms. Virginia Wolf expressed traffic concerns. She asked if the City can violate its zoning ordinances. Ms. Allison Hero asked that people stop pointing fingers and come together to make a solution. She also does not want the Nomuras to lose their land. Ms. Candice Cosler stated concerns regarding use of residential property, and excessive size of the projected facility. She suggested using land that had already gone through the SEPA process and questioned City rezoning ethics. She asked are the sites appropriate and is the City ready with financing? Mr. Max Plattner, a fire fighter, said the facility was outgrown 10 to 14 years ago, but the reality is the City needs more policemen now. His plea is to serve the town's needs, not tourists needs. Mr. Michael Spelling said there may still be a lot of options rather than limiting to the three suggested sites. He suggested the use of fans could be a solution to the problem of ventilation at the existing Fire Station. Councilmember Sokol requested a couple copies of the Public Safety Report be placed in the Public Library. Other Issues: Ms. Karen Ragan, Friends of the Library, requested that the library be kept in mind during the 1996 budget deliberations.. Ms. Jenna Upton wishes to rent out one room of her home to tourists. She referred to Port Townsend Municipal Code 17.08.485 and asked the rationale of the cut off date on the requirement that the house must been built before June 1, 1989. Mayor Clise said they would get appropriate information for her. Mayor Clise said that Mr. Bob Hamlin, R.W. Hamlin & Associates, was in the audience and asked that Police Chief Jim Newton introduce him. Mr. Newton stated Port Townsend has a large FEMA need and said Mr. Hamlin can help the City prepare an Emergency Disaster Plan. Mr. Hamlin cited some problems Port Townsend might have if faced with a moderate to major earthquake. Could the city rebuild; could the old buildings be brought back to code? He said planning and decisions made now would guide the City through the next few years. PUBLIC HEARINGS: Variance Application No. 9505-12 -Ned & Kate Schumann Mr. Robison stated the property at 537 Tyler is located at the comer of Tyler and Clay Streets. The proposed location of the new structure within five-feet of the front property line is sensitive to the existing conditions of the site and surrounding residences. The Planning Commission approved the variance as conditioned, four in favor, none opposed, and recommended the City Council approve Variance Application No. 9505-12. Mr. Schumann said if the structure were built to code it would be in middle of their garden. He said it is within the general tenor of the present neighborhood He indicated the Jacobs property would be affected and the Jacobs also prefer this variance be granted. Discussion ensued. Councilmember Shoulberg made a motion that Variance Application 9505-12 be granted, Councilmember Sokol seconded the motion, and it was passed unanimously by voice vote. Port Townsend Municipal Code Proposed Text Amendment 9504-04 -Park View Associates and Ordinance Amending Chapter 18.08, Definitions, Section 200 of Chapter 18.20, Proposed Plat Procedure, Section 110 of the PTMC to Clarify Preliminary Plat Approval Process and to Allow A Second Plat Approval Extension Under Certain Conditions. Director of Building and Community Development Robison introduced the proposed Text Amendment of Title 18, Subdivision. The proposal for an additional one-year extension was made by Mr. Wilbum, Vantage Properties, and the Planning Commission recommended approval. After the Planning Commission heating, staff became aware of recent state legislation which allows for an additional year, or a total of five years, for preliminary plat approval; however, the new state legislation does not become effective until July 23, 1995. Mr. Wilbum's Parkview preliminary plat approval expires prior to that date unless he receives an additional one-year extension. Mr. Robison stated that given the intent of the new state legislation, and Mr. Wilbum's unfortunate timing, staff 7 recommends approval of the proposed ordinance to allow a second plat approval extension. Mr. Wilburn would still need to obtain Planning Commission approval of the plat extension, based on the five criteria listed in the ordinance. A short discussion ensued. Mr. Lee Wilburn stated it would save staff time and morley and recommended the Planning Commission bring it to Council. ORDINANCE NO. 2464 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CiTY OF PORT TOWNSEND AMENDING CHAPTER 18.08, DEFINITIONS, SECTION 200 AND CHAPTER 18.20, PROPOSED PLAT PROCEDURE, SECTION 110 OF THE PORT TOWNSEND MUNICIPAL CODE TO CLARIFY PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL PROCESS AND TO ALLOW A SECOND PLAT APPROVAL EXTENSION UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS.

She presented the proposals of the Finance Committee. Mayor Clise opened comment to the public. Ms. Jean Tenenbaum stated the library is a very central part of the city. She applauded the good staff aid to students of all varieties, and requested the library be budgeted enough money. Mr. Bob Polishuk stated that librarians only ask for what they need and requested that the new librarian be given what she asks for. Ms. Helen Thorsen represented the senior citizens and said the library is so improved. She cited the need for new and replaced books and magazines and asked for due consideration of money.
