like to submit to the County Planning Commission the letter which was submitted to the
County on May 8 with notification that further recommendations of the full council will
be submitted to the BOCC in July. The negotiating team's draft response will be brought
forward to the July 1 city council meeting so that the public and full council will have the
opportunity to review the draft recommendations on the LAMIRD boundary and UDC
codes.
CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
Seawater Intrusion: Mr. Timmons noted that materials were placed in the council packet
which were received from the County regarding the proposed Unified Development Code
(UDC) amendments relating to seawater intrusion. The amendments were developed in
response to a Growth Management Board ruling that Jefferson County's 2000 UDC
regulations had failed to provide adequate protection against seawater intrusion into
City Council Business Meeting Page 1 June 17, 2002
groundwater sources. When there has been time to review the materials, council will be
asked for direction concerning the proposed amendments.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Ted Shoulberg: commented on the excellent, refreshing and informative town meeting,
and supported strategy sessions by the negotiating team on the GMA
PUBLIC HEARINGS (OPEN RECORD)
2002 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS - FORMATION OF THE FINAL
DOCKET
Mayor Kolff opened the public hearing. He asked if any council wished to disclose any
interests, financial or property, in connection with the matter.
Ms. Sandoval noted that Mr. Norcross, proponent of Amendment # 1, has been her client
in the past. She stated she did not have any current interest in property that would affect
a fair and impartial decision.
Because of the quasi-judicial nature of the first amendment, Mr. Watts asked if any
council member had any communication with the applicant or opponent. Ms. Fenn
replied she had talked with Mr. Norcross during her office hours and the subject had been
addressed briefly.
Ms. Sandoval than noted that Mr. Shoulberg, proponent of Amendment #5, is a current
real estate client with a multi-family property listed. She stated she would recuse herself
from voting on that amendment.
Staff presentation
Senior Planner Judy Surber presented the staff report on the Planning Commission's
recommendations. Consensus was that she would present each amendment individually,
with a vote to follow immediately. The following proposed amendments were presented.
Amendment # 1: Rezone Blocks 170 and 171 of the Eisenbeis Addition (quasi-judicial).
Proponent: Glenn Norcross.
Ms. Surber noted that a question had been raised at the joint Council/Planning
Commission about prior downzoning in the area. She confirmed that had occurred with
the stated reason that pending single family development permits were in process for
those blocks.
In response to a question from Ms. Robinson, Mr. Randall noted that there are about 18
acres of R-IV zoning, less platted rights of way, in the city at this time and some is in the
area of the proposed rezone.
City Council Business Meeting Page 2 June 17, 2002
Ms. Surber stated that the planning commission voted unanimously to recommend
docketing the amendment.
Motion: Mr. Masci moved to accept the Planning Commission's recommendation and
docket proposed amendment itl. Mr. Youse seconded The motion carried unanimously,
7-0, by voice vote.
Amendment it2: Revise Comprehensive Plan Text to be Consistent with Recent GMA
Amendments. Proponent: Building & Community Development Department
The amendment would amend the goals and policy text of the Comprehensive Plan to
reflect recent amendments to the Growth Management Act since 1995. Consultant Eric
Toews has identified appropriate amendments.
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend docketing proposed
Amendment it2.
Public comment: None
Motion: Mr. Masci moved to accept the Planning Commission's recommendation and
docket proposed Amendment it2. Ms. Sandoval seconded The motion carried
unanimously, 7-0, by voice vote.
Amendment it3: Revise Lot coverage in P/OS Districts. Proponent: Building and
Community Development Department.
The changes proposed would resolve inconsistencies, and proposed projects in the P-I
district indicate a need to increase the allowable lot coverage. Floor area ratios for the P-
I zone would be made consistent with the C-III and C-II zoning district standards
depending upon whether the P-I zone is in the historic district.
Public comment: none
Motion: Mr. Youse moved to docket proposed Amendment it3. Mr. Masci seconded
The motion carried unanimously, 7-0, by voice vote.
Amendment it4: Remove FUGA Language from the Comprehensive Plan. Proponent:
Alice King
Ms. Surber noted that the Planning Commission voted 5-4 to recommend docketing the
amendment. Supporters reasoned that the amendment was needed to resolve
inconsistencies between the City and County Comprehensive Plan and that the current
text regarding the Glen Cove FUGA is outdated. Dissenting voters felt such major
changes were premature considering the twenty-year planning horizon and that the issue
was being discussed before too many venues.
City Council Business Meeting Page 3 dune 17, 2002
Public comment
Alice King (proponent): stated she sees the proposed amendment as a housekeeping
measure and that city and county comprehensive plans are out of synch. She also said she
does not believe passage removes any alternatives and will have no effect on political
discussion.
Amc Hanson: spoke in favor of docketing the amendment.
Nora Regan: spoke in favor of docketing the amendment, stating it looks at realistic
growth for the area.
Jeff Kelety: spoke in favor of docketing the amendment, saying it would contribute to
continuing the city's stewardship of our way of life. Stated that GMA growth
management indicators don't presently support the envisioned FUGA; believes majority
of townspeople do not favor large retail centers; believes there is no evidence that a
majority of county residents wish to see the UGA expand into Glen Cove.
Joe Pipia: spoke in favor of docketing the amendment, referenced his letter to the
Planning Commission, stated that need, urgency and appropriateness are all present, i.e.,
citizens must be at the forefront of the process, the county is considering expanding the
UGA and citizens clearly want no commercial buildings. He stated that if the language
remains, it will encourage the county to move on it.
Jim Todd: spoke in favor of adoption, calling the Comprehensive Plan our most
important tool and that clarification of the plan is important.
Ms. Sandoval noted that staff has not yet supplied the final version of last year's language
for the notebooks. Ms. Surber said it would be distributed.
Motion: Ms. Fenn moved to accept the Planning Commission's recommendation and
docket proposed Amendment #4. Ms. Sandoval seconded

Flint
The amendment would reduce side-hard setbacks and increase lot coverage in the
residential zoning districts. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend
that the item be docketed with the expanded scope of reconsidering the front-yard setback
requirements as well. The amendments would support infill within the residential
districts.
Public comment
Scott Walker: spoke in favor of docketing the amendment, noting that towns are more
attractive to pedestrians if people can build closer to the front lot line and interaction with
neighbors and the community is promoted.
Motion: Ms. Fenn moved to accept the Planning Commission's recommendation and
docket Amendment #6. Mr. Masci seconded The motion carried unanimously, 7-0, by
voice vote.
Amendment//7: Revise Zoning Use Tables to Allow Group Homes Outright in Certain
Zones. Proponent: Building & Community Development Department.
Ms. Surber stated the proposal is to amend definitions and use tables in the zoning code
to differentiate group homes for the disabled and emergency shelters from residential
treatment facilities whose clients may be considered a risk to the public. The Planning

Public comment: none
Motion: Mr. Masci moved to accept the Planning Commission's recommendation and
docket Amendment #7. Ms. Robinson seconded The motion carried unanimously, 7-0,

City Council Business Meeting Page 5 June 17, 2002
Ms. Surber stated the amendment would strike the current code requirement that limits
Accessory Dwelling Units to less than 50% of the total floor area of the main residence.
The current code tends to penalize owners of smaller homes. The Planning Commission
voted unanimously to docket the amendment.
Public comment: none
Motion: Mr. Masci moved to accept the Planning Commission's recommendation and
docket Amendment #8. Mr. Youse seconded The motion carried unanimously, 7-0, by
voice vote.
Amendment #9: Delete Portion of Waterwalk from Non-Motorized Transportation Plan.
Proponent: Sarah Westall
Ms. Surber entered a letter from Ms. Westall into the record. She noted that staff has
clarified that the proposed amendment was not to actually delete a portion of the water
walk but to simply eliminate an "existing trail" designation on her property from the
Non-Motorized Transportation Plan. The Planning Commission voted 3-6 against
recommending the amendment be docketed. The majority felt that the revision could be
handled outside the Comprehensive Plan process, noted that the map is being revised to
show public trails only, and that it is unlikely that removing the trail from NMTP maps
would solve problems with trespassers. Those voting in favor felt that Ms. Westall has
tried various routes to have the designation removed and this may be the only way to be
sure it happens. They were also generally opposed to mapping existing trails across
private property.
Public comment:
Scott Walker: stated that the orange dots in question are simply existing trails which
have been used in the past, not trails that are open to the public; he added that the map is
primarily for in-house purposes so staff and the Transportation Advisory Board can
develop policies.
Ms. Surber noted that the plan specifically states that existing trails are mapped and some
cross private property. Ms. Sandoval added that many people who cross the property are
not doing so because of reliance on the Non-Motorized map but simply because of the
configuration of the road and the property.
Ms. Surber noted there would be no charge involved to the applicant if the item were not
docketed as a comprehensive plan amendment.
Motion: Mr. Masci moved to accept the Planning Commission's recommendation and
deny docketing proposed amendment #9. Mr. Finnie seconded
Mr. Finnie noted he sympathized with the applicant but supported a reasonable
alternative to accomplishing the objective. He stated the intent of the council is clear and
City Council Business Meeting Page 6 June 17, 2002
administration understands the concern of the applicant and will seek an alternative
remedy.
Discussion also included consideration of docketing the item and then pulling it if a better
solution is found; the fact that the Transportation Committee has already requested that a
new trail map for use by the public be produced by Public Works.
Vote: the motion carried, 5-2, with Ms. Fenn and Mr. Youse opposed.
RECESS
Mayor Kolff called a recess at 8:10 for thc purpose of a break.
RECONVENE
The meeting was reconvened at 8::20 p.m.
RESOLUTION 02-028
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT TOWNSEND,
WASHINGTON, APPROVING THE 2003-2008 SIX-YEAR TRANSPORTATION
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO
SUBMIT THIS TO THE STATE
Public Works Director Ken Clow stated that the council must adopt a six year
Transportation Improvement Program each year in order to show plans for any street
projects that might require state or federal funding. The list is integrated into the regional
transportation plan and also goes independently to the state.
He noted changes from last year's TIP, stating that San Juan from 19th to "F" and the
Sims Way pathway (from the Park & Ride to Keamey) have been approved by the state
and are proceeding with design. The city hopes to execute the projects this year.
The next three projects listed were three segments of Discovery Road, from Hastings
where "F" Street ended to Sheridan, from Sheridan to Howard, and from Howard to the
city limits. Mr. Clow noted that as a result of discussions with the Transportation and
General Government committees, the Sheridan to Howard and Howard to city limits
sections were consolidated as the current #3.
The prior project #6, Howard Street extension from the business park to Discovery was
redesignated as #4 and the remaining piece of Discovery from Sheridan to Hastings is
now currently #5 on the list.
Mr. Clow stated that the reason for theses changes is primarily to take advantage of the
fact that significant development has not yet taken place from the city limits to Sheridan,
City Council Business Meeting Page 7 June 17, 2002
whereas the Sheridan to Hastings stretch does have considerable development which
would complicate the project.
A comment was also received on project #10, gateway improvements along Sims Way to
the ferry dock, at the Transportation Committee meeting. The comment was that bicycle
lane improvements on Keamey Street should be included in the project.
Public comment
Scott Walker: spoke in favor of approval of the TIP; also noted the need for safety
improvements on portions of Discovery Road which are more heavily developed.
Nancy Dorgan: stated she is unclear about the "multi-purpose trail" slated along Kah Tai
Park; stated that there may be controversy if a wide trail were placed in the park which
would remove habitat.
Shirley Rudolph: stated that business o,amers in upper Sims Way must be contacted so
they can comment on projects, asked for more public input before submitting the TIP to
the state.
Ms. Clow noted that the TIP is not designed to go into a great level of detail; during the
design process, issues such as what is going where and how does it fit, will be raised and
resolved.
Mr. Timmons noted that the proposed fight of way exchange with the Port would add 20
feet to the Sims Way ROW and place the non-motorized pathway just inside the poplar
trees.
He also stated that projects #1 and #2 have been dropped back a bit in the design process;
listing them does not preclude the city from doing them this year but indicates to the state
we may be using some of the money next year.
Motion: Mr. Masci moved for adoption of Resolution 02-028. Mr. Youse seconded.
Staff again emphasized that the TIP is not a listing of projects in order of urgency or
priority and that other factors come into play regarding the feasibility and timing of
certain projects, like traffic lights.
Vote: the motion carried, 7-0, by voice vote.
CONSENT AGENDA
Mr. Kolff suggested a change in the language of item 8(C) Council Rule Amendments so
that under "Regular meeting schedule" for each committee, "and otherwise as determined
by the Committee be changed to "or otherwise as determined by the Committee." There
were no objections.
City Council Business Meeting Page 8 June 17, 2002

EFFECTIVE DATE
Mr. Watts noted that a motion was made and seconded to adopt Ordinance 2810 at the
June 3, 2002 meeting, with action postponed to June 17 to allow additional opportunity
for public comment. In response to a request for research on the subject, Mr. Watts
noted that the city could adopt a partial ban on fireworks. He added that a new state law
provides a new period of time (December 27-31) during which "consumer fireworks may
be sold and used" in addition to the current June 28 to July 4 period and December 31.
The law allows a city to adopt an ordinance prohibiting or limiting the sale and use of
fireworks for the period Dec. 27-31, 2002, if an ordinance is adopted by August 12, 2002.
Mr. Watts read an e-mail received from Veto Garrison into the record. Mr. Garrison
supported adoption of the ordinance.
Public comment:
Karen Gower: representative of American Promotional Events, spoke against adoption,
citing profits raised by community organizations through sale of fireworks and
distinguishing between legal and illegal fireworks.
Shirley Rudolph: president of Edgewater Condo Association supported banning
fireworks in public areas.
Scott Walker: urged the council to be sensible and start with enforcement of the existing
ban; stated perhaps sales but not use could be banned.
Mr. Youse noted the ordinance still allows public displays which can be monitored and
controlled.
Ms. Fenn stated that regulation should be done at the state, not local, level.
Motion to amen& Mr. Masci moved to amend the ordinance to make the effective date
December 27-31, 2002 and thereafter. Mr. Finnie seconded The motion carried, 4-3,
with Councilors Robinson, Fenn and Finnie opposed
Mr. Kolff cited the official position of the American Association of Pediatrics stating its
position that fireworks for individual private use should be banned.
City Council Business Meeting Page 10 June 17, 2002
Vote on motion to adopt Ordinance 2810 as amended motion carried 6-1, by roll call
vote, with Councilor Fenn opposed
DISTRESSED COUNTY INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING
Mr. Timmons noted the staff has been unable to bring forward recommendations to the
Finance Committee because very little information has been made available to the city
with regard to the program, which is designed to implement use of the county sales tax
established under the distressed county authorization. The council has named a
representative (Ms. Sandoval) to serve on a yet to be formed county committee. The
county staff has informed the city that EDC Executive Director Ann Avary has been
tasked with developing a program for the administration of the funds.
Ms. Avary was present to speak. She stated a draft ordinance has just been developed
and she will provide this to the city manager tomorrow. Two tracks have been identified,
a loan track and a grant track for construction of public infrastructure. Other components
are criteria for both grant and loan tracks, a due diligence function and a community
investment fund board to review applications and then submit to the Board of County
Commissioners with recommendation for approval or denial.
She estimated that the county receives about $200,000 per year through the program.
Motion: Mr. Masci moved that the representatives at the intergovernmental elected
officials meeting inquire as to the status and expected time line for this program. Ms.
Sandoval seconded The motion carried unanimously, 7-0, by voice vote.
TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: SIMS WAY BICYCLE
LANES
The Transportation Committee, on the advice of the Transportation Advisory Board, has
recommended that the Sims Way bluff corridor bicycle lanes be signed with bicycle lane
symbols. Mr. Clow noted that there are some areas on Sims Way that don't fully comply
with state regulations for bicycle lanes.
Public Comment:
Shirley Rudolph: spoke in opposition to signing the bicycle lanes, stated all upper Sims
Way businesses and property owners should be included in the decision process.
Motion: Ms. Sandoval moved to sign the bicycle lanes from Water Street up to Sheridan
where necessary and revisit the issue of upper Sims Way bicycle lane signing at a future
date. Mr. Masci seconded The motion carried unanimously, 7-0, by voice vote.
City Council Business Meeting Page 11 June 17, 2002
GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION REGARDING
FIRE DISTRICT NO. 6 JOINT OPERATIONS
Fire Chief Ed Edwards stated that he would like to continue discussions with Fire District
#6 to assess the feasibility of consolidating certain functions. He added that the Fire
District #6 Commissioners have now expressed support for this cooperative assessment.
He added that the districts are currently cooperating through a mutual aid agreement and
an Emergency Medical Services agreement which have proven mutually beneficial to the
departments. Because both departments have difficulty with the low number of
volunteers available for response and both departments are understaffed, the most
promising option for both departments is to work more closely together. He added that
by consolidating certain functions and working together, both departments can initially
increase the services provided while laying the groundwork for necessary future
expansion.
He outlined the boundaries of District #6 in answer to Ms. Fenn's inquiry.
Public Comment:
Julie Jaman: opposed joint operations as it would affect the rural character of the fire
district.
Nancy Dorgan: opposed joint operations because the city would give up its urban fire
department; also does not want another government entity in her life.
Ms. Fenn wanted far more information. Mr. Finnie noted that the discussions suggested
would allow Chief Edwards to obtain that information.
Mr. Youse noted that the city and district 6 departments are currently working in a joint
relationship.
Motion: Mr. Masci moved to adopt the recommendation of the General Government
Committee that discussions continue with members and commissioners of Fire District 6
with the goal to be to determine if any type of joint operations are feasible at this time.
Mr. Youse seconded
Motion to postpone: Ms. Sandoval moved to postpone action on the item. Ms. Fenn
seconded The motion carried, 5-2, with Councilors Masci and Youse opposed
35th STREET PARK PROPERTY
Mr. Timmons stated that Jefferson County has accepted the City's offer to purchase the
35th Street Park property for $60,000. The County has stipulated that the transfer will
include a reversionary clause should the city choose to surplus the property or use it for
non-public purposes. If the settlement is approved, the property would be held in trust
City Council Business Meeting Page 12 June 17, 2002
for development of a neighborhood park and conservation land, with no immediate plans
to develop the property.
Mr. Timmons stated that there is no consequential effect on operations and maintenance
budget due to the purchase in answer to Mr. Finnie's question. He added that the
purchase expenditure would come from the capital improvement fund.
Motion: Mr. Masci mOved to authorize the City Manager to execute the necessary
documents to resolve the 35th Street Park matter with the County y payment of $60, 000 to
the County, consistent with the County administrator's May 28, 2002 letter, with the
transfer including a reversionary clause should the city choose to surplus the property or
use it for a non-public purpose; and further, directing the Manager to prepare a
supplemental budget to authorize release of the funds. Mr. Youse seconded The motion
carried unanimously, 7-0, by voice vote.
CINGULAR WIRELESS LEASE
Mr. Watts noted that Cingular Wireless has proposed co-location of antelmas on the
existing VoiceStream monopole at the City's water reservoir site near Hastings Avenue.
The co-location will avoid proliferation of poles. The proposed lease is for five years,
with five five-year extensions for a total of 30 years at $600/month with a 20% increase
every five years. Requested action is to authorize the City Manager to execute the
communication site lease agreement.
Mr. Youse recused himself because of his employment with Qwest.
In response to Mr. Masci, Mr. Watts noted that the rate was proposed by Cingular and
then analyzed by staff to insure its consistency with the market rate.
Motion: Mr. Masci moved to authorize the City Manager to execute a lease with
Cingular wireless for a ground lease and co-location of antennas at the City reservoir
site near Hasting Avenue for a term not to exceed 30 years, at a rent of $6OO per month
with 20% cost of living every five years, and other standard lease terms. Ms. Sandoval
