Mr. Hildt explained that the Planning Commission is recommending approval of this proposal to establish a live theater in a currently vacant building at 419 Washington Street and reviewed the findings, con- clusions and conditions proposed by them. Councilmember McCulloch reported that she received a letter dated June 29, 1988, from Mr. Major soliciting funds. She indicated that she made no dona- tion and does not consider that there is any problem with her sitti~g on the Board of Adjustment to hear this request. Councilmember Camfield reported that she received the same letter as did other councilmembers. Mayor Shirley opened the hearing tothe public. Mr. Michael J. Major was recognized and spoke in favor of his application reviewing the schedule of events they have planned. Ms. Judith Chandler Wood was recognized and spoke in favor of the application because she believes it will be a boon to the city. I 19 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF AUGUST 2, 1988 I There being no further testimony, Mayor Shirley closed the hearing to the audience and turned the application over to the council for disposition. Mayor Shirley asked Mr. Major if the public parking of recreation vehicles in the lot adjacent to the theater might present a problem. Mr. Major assured the council that there would not be anyone out there running people off. After a brief discus- sion, Councilmember Clise made a motion to adopt the following fin- dings and conclusions and approve the permit under the following conditions which was seconded by Councilmember Kenna and passed unanimously by voice vote: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The applicant proposes to establish a live theater in a cur- rently vacant building at 419 Washington Street. The building had previously been occupied by Peninsula Paper Company and the Olympic Laundry and Cleaners office. The building is located in the C-III zoning district. A theater is permitted as a condi- tional use in the C-III zone. 2. The building is bounded by two commercial office buildings to the southwest, a city-owned parking lot to the northwest, a ware- house/commercial office to the northeast, and the James Swan Hotel to the southeast. 3. The building has approximately 1,400 square feet of floor area. There is approximately 1,000 square feet of space available for the stage and seating areas. The applicant proposes a movable stage with seating available for approximately 100 people. I 4. The Port Townsend Fire Department has submitted a letter dated June 7, 1988, regarding the proposed theater use in this building. Fire Department staff, after reviewing the applicant's floor plan and undertaking an on-site inspection, have listed several items which must be brought into compliance with the Uniform Fire Code before the building could be occupied. The letter also states that the maximum occupancy load determination for the proposed use at this site is 65 patrons. A second letter from the Port Town- send Fire Department was submitted on July 14, 1988, based on an adjusted set of floor plans developed by the applicant: The second letter, which supercedes the first, amends the initial finding that limited the building occupancy to 65 patrons to now permit a maximum occupancy load of 115 people. I 5. Built prior to the enactment of the zoning code, the building and proposed uses in the building are legal and nonconforming with respect to parking. Accordingly, there are no parking require- ments in the zoning code which are applicable to the proposed use. Off-street parking requirements may be reasonably imposed as part of a conditional use permit. If the building were to be con- structed today, the parking requirements would be as follows: Use/Seating Requirement Parking Spaces Theater/liS seats 1 space/ 4 seats 29 This would be reduced to 75 percent of the requirement, or 22 spaces, since the building is located in the downtown parking district. There are currently no private off-street parking spaces for this building. The city-owned parking lot directly to the northwest of the building' - has 58 parking spaces. Of these, 15 are for compact cars, 3 are spaces for the handi- capped,9 are spaces for recreational vehicles, and the remaining 31 are for general use. 6. The applicant's current proposed operating hours for the theater are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights from 8:00 to 11:00 PM and weekend children's matinees from 1:00 to 4:00 PM. 7. The applicant has applied for a sign permit concurrently with the conditional use application. The applicant proposes three signs be installed: a 12 square foot projecting sign, a 22 square foot wall sign over the entrance, and a six square foot sign in an existing building directory located on the wall of one of the adjacent commercial office buildings for a total of 40 square feet. 20 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF AUGUST 2, 1888 Cont. 8. The City Council has issued a Determination of nonsignificance, dated June 21, 1988, after review of the Environmental Checklist submitted by the applicant pursuant to the Washington State Envir- onmental Policy Act. CONCLUSIONS 1. The proposed theater use will not endanger the public health or safety, nor will a nuisance be created. I 2. The proposed use will be required to meet all of the conditions and specifications set forth in the C-III zone in which the pro- perty is located, except for those legal, nonconforming conditions which were in existence prior to the enactment of the Port Town- send zoning code in 1971. 3. The proposed use will not be injurious or detrimental to adjoin- ing or abutting property. 4. Because the proposed theater use would provide a viable use to a currently vacant building without adverse effects to the adja- cent property owners and businesses, the location and character of the use will be in harmony with the area in which it is located and will be in general conformity with the Comprehensive Plan. 5. Because of the existing under-utilized city-owned parking facil- ity adjacent, and the hours of operation proposed for this use, the City Council finds no conflict. 6. The City Council is in agreement that the applicant's signage meets the spirit, if not the letter, of the Port Townsend Municipal Code section 17.34.050 (H). CONDITIONS I 1. The occupancy of the building will be limited to an audience of not more than 115 people at one time, subject to approval by the Fire Chief of all final building plans. 2. It is understood that the Uniform Building Code and Uniform Fire Code apply and must be met prior to occupancy. 3. If a building permit and/or occupancy permit is not obtained for the subject property within one year from the date of the board's decision, the conditional use permit shall be cancelled and automatically become null and void (Port Townsend Municipal Code section 17.64.070). Draft Resolution on Enforcement Policy. Mayor Shirley announced that the hearing on this resolution has been postponed until September 20, 1988 to allow sufficient time to address measures which might be taken and concerns expressed. Street Vacation Application No. 8804-01 - Barbara Williams. Mr. Hildt explained that the Planning Commission is recommending approval of the request to vacate Cosgrove Street from the eastern boundary of Oak Street to the southwestern boundary of Lot 5, Block 6 and reviewed proposed findings and conclusions. Mayor Shirley opened the hearing to the audience, but no testimony was offered, so he closed the hearing and turned the application over to the council for disposition. After a brief discussion, Council- member Kenna made a motion to adopt the following findings and conclusions and approve the street vacation under the following conditions which was seconded by Councilmember Clise and passed unanimously by voice vote: I FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The applicant requests vacation of that portion of the unopened Cosgrove Street as shown on the certain survey recorded January 12, 1987 in Volume 8 of Surveys, Page 92, Official Records of Jefferson County, Washington, abutting upon Tax Lot 24. The portion to be vacated is the southeasterly one-half of unopened Cosgrove Street 21 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF AUGUST 2, 1988 Cant. extending from the eastern boundary of the Oak Street right-of- way to a projection of the southwestern boundary of lot 5, block 6 at a right angle to the southeastern boundary of Cosgrove St. I 2. The applicant owns the abutting property adjacent to and south- east of the area to be vacated. The City of Port Townsend owns the abutting property to the northwest of the Cosgrove right-of- way. The City property is used for street and park purposes (Sather Park). 3.The portion of Cosgrove Street directly east of the subject area, which lies northwest and adjacent to Lots 5 and 6, Block 6, pettygrove's First Addition, was vacated by the City Council to James Mathias in January, 1988. 4. The applicant intends to construct a detached garage behind her home at 1006 Taft Street. The vacation is requested so that there will be adequate space to build a garage while conforming to the setback requirements on the zoning code. CONCLUSIONS 1. The proposed s tree t vaca tion is in compliance wi th the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan. 2. The portion of Cosgrove Street proposed to be vacatE~d is not required for current or anticipated overall area circulation. 3. The effectiveness of fire, law enforcement, medical or other emergency services will not be impaired by the proposed vacation. I 4. The portion of Cosgrove Street proposed to be vacated is not required as a current or anticipated bicycle, pedestrian or equestrian trail corridor. 5. The portion of Cosgrove Street proposed to be vacated does not abut on a body of salt or fresh water. CONDITIONS 1. A certified copy of the ordinance vacating the street shall be recorded by the City Clerk in the office of the Jefferson County Auditor upon receipt by the city of all fees and compen- sation required (12.20.120 Port Townsend Municipal Code). The street vacation shall be cancelled and become automatically null and void one year after City Council action if said fees have not been paid. COMMITTEE REPORTS I Water-Sewer. Councilmember McCulloch reported that the committee met with Lee Lewis and Soil Conservation Service representatives to exchange information and explore the possibility of installing a "snow tell" station. She reported that the city has ordered materials on water conservation from the Department of Social and Health Services which are free and will be available to the public as soon as they arrive. She reported that we are in bE,tter shape now than we were at this time last year as far as supply goes, but the September billing will carry a request to conserve water. Councilmember Camfield asked if the committee has found any grant sources that would enable the city to build more storage and Councilmember McCulloch indicated that this has not been fully investigated by the committee. Community Services. Councilmember Chang reported that the committee met to discuss recycling long and short range goals and proposals including a restructuring of the garbage rate. The next meeting of the group will be Wednesday, August 24th, at 8:00 AM in the recreation room at the Clarage Court Apartments. 22 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION FOR AUGUST 2, 1988 Cont. Parks and Property. Councilmember McCulloch reported that she is looking into the possibility of a land trust to acquire land at the entrance to the city and invited anyone who would like to work on this project to join her. Legislative/Environmental. Councilmember Kenna announced a commit- tee meeting at 7:00 PM before the next regular city council meeting on August 16, 1988 to consider the Amburn Environmental Checklist. He then presented the City Clerk with a new county flag. I Stop Signs. Mr. Harper reported that a stop sign had to be removed which was mounted too low on the post. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Appeal on Sudlow/Dalzell Shortplat Application No. 8802-01. Mayor Shirley explained that the hearing on this was continued from the last meeting. Mr. Hildt reminded the council that Mr. Harper had requested that the council expand on the findings of fact provided by the Planning Commission which would support their conclusions. Mr. Hildt presented the council with some suggested language. Second, the question of approval with streets narrower than are required by the code was to be addressed by the City Attorney. Last, some councilmembers requested a review of the comprehensive plan as it might apply to this proposal. Mr. Sudlow was recognized and spoke in favor of his appeal siting portions of the comprehen- sive plan which he believes support his position that the dedicated streets requested are not needed for his shortplat. He distributed copies of portions of the Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Harper was recognized and identified the exhibits which he considers part of the record for these proceedings. Mr. Hildt commented on the testimony from Mr. Sudlow clarifying the recommendations of staff and the Planning Commission and passed out drafts of findings and conclusions which might be used by the council in reaching its decisions. Mr. Harper reported on the street standards required by the ordinances of the city and commented on the drafts prepared by Mr. Hildt. After the council paused to read over the drafts, Councilmember Clise asked Mr. Stricklin if in his opinion the city needed 39th street for a collector in this area and Mr. Stricklin said yes. Councilmember Clise asked Mr. Harper to review the potential problems connected with the development of Howard Street which he did. After a substantial discussion on the possibility of taking 39th and waiving the requirement for right-of-way adjacent to Howard Street, Councilmember Kenna made a motion that the council adopt the following findings of fact, reach the following conclusions, and deny the appeal which was seconded by Councilmember Camfield and passed by voice vote with six councilmembers voting in the affirmative. Councilmember Jones voted against the motion. I FINDINGS OF FACT 1. Applicant proposes short subdivision of approximately 8.35 acres into four lots pursuant to Chapter 18.38 Port Townsend Municipal Code. 2. The supject property is within the R-IA zoning district and is described as the West Half of the West Half of Government Lot 1 of Section 4, Township 30 North, Range 1 West, W.M.; City of Port Townsend, Jefferson County, Washington. 3. Applicant proposes four lots as follows: A. Lot 1, 218,069 square feet (5.006 B. Lot 2, 26,395 square feet ( .606 C. Lot 3, 43,555 square feet (1.000 D. Lot 4, 75,958 square feet (1.744 acres) acres) acres) acres) I 4. Access to the proposed lots is as follows: A. Lot 1, by a 24-feet-wide, private, driveway easement from Howard Street along the boundary of Lots 3 and 4. B. Lot 2, from 35th Street. ' C. Lots 3 and 4, from Howard Street. 5. The Howard street right-of-way, which borders proposed lots 3 23 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF AUGUST 2, 1988 Cont. and 4 on the west, is a "half street" of 27 feet width. Howard Street is unopened north of 36th Street and the right-of-way ter- minates at an unnamed street one block north of 36th Street. An existing 10-feet-wide water line easement extends north to 39th Street within the subject property. 6. The 39th Street right-of-way, generally 55 feet wide, is reduced to a width of 30 feet wh~re it boarders the subject property on the north. I I 7. Immediately north of the subject property is a large area which has substantial potential for future development. The area bounded on the south by 37th Street from the City Limits to Howard Street, Howard Street to 39th Street, and 39th Street to Hendricks Street; on the north the edge of the bluff on the Straits of Juan de Fuca; and on the west by the City limits has an area of approximately 566 acres. There are approximately 1,666 platted lots in this area which is zoned R-IA and R-I. Each of these lots is of sufficient size to permit a single-family dwelling under Port Townsend zoning requirements. Very few have been developed to date. Accordingly, future growth potential in the area described above is estimated at approximately 1,650 additional households. (Although not all of these lots will be developed and portions are indicated in the Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan as relatively difficult parcels to d~velop due to steep slopes or other adverse conditions, the vast majority of these lots are suitable for future development. In addition, those lots which prove relatively difficult to develop are at leas t partially of f se t by the exis tence wi thin thi s area of large areas of desirable but unplatted land which are not included in this estimate.) The Institute of Traffic Engineers Trip Generation Manual, based on over two hundred independent studies, indicates that each single- family residence generates a weekday average of 10 vehicular trips per day. The average on a per acre basis is 25.7 vehicular trips per day. Consequently, it is expected that future daily vehicular traffic in to and out of the area immediately north of the subject property will be as great as 14,500 to 16,500 vehicular trips per day. There are currently only two developed roadways serving this area: Cook Avenue to the southwest and 49th Street leading easterly to San Juan Avenue. 8. A band of generally unplatted land, including the subject property, extends from the City limits to San Juan Avenue. Although two small platted tracts to the west and east of the subject property include platted streets which may be developed for future use, this band of unplatted land presents a barrier to adaquate future overall area circulation between the area to the north of the subject property and the balance of the City to the south. It has been past City policy to provide for existing and projected roads, anticipated traffic patterns, public convenience and safety, through appropriate dedication of public street right-of-way as property is platted. City ordinances and standards require streets like Howard Street and 39th Street to be 50 feet in width. I 9. In a letter dated April 13, 1988, Patrick W. Mason, leagl consul- tant for the Municipal Research and Services Center of Washington, reviewed the authority of the City of Port Townsend to require a 'street dedicated as a condition of approval of a short plat. The letter states, "It appears to be the almost universal pattern to require, as a condition of short plat approval, that streets be designated and appropriate easements for such streets be provided and conveyed where necessary. This does not appear to be an unusual provision in the Port Townsend Short Plat ordinance but rather it appears to be the accepted practice in municipalities throughout the state. 10. Water supply would be taken from the 10-inch main in Howard Street to Lots 1, 3, and 4. Lot 2 would be served from the 6-inch main in 35th Street. 24 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF AUGUST 2, 1988 Cont. 11. Sewage disposal would be accomplished through individual septic tanks and drain fields. The drainfield serving lot 4 would be located in a conditional drainfield easement, measuring 60 by 190' feet, which is declared on lot 1, adjacent to the north boundary of lot 4. This easement is made conditional on the lack of available City sewer lines within 600 feet of lot 4, and would become null and void within ninety days of the extension of City sewer lines within 600 feet of Lot 4. By letter dated December 29, 1987, the Jefferson County Health Department has stated, "The four designs meet the current require- ments for on-site sewage disposal systems as set forth by WAC 248-96 and Jefferson County Ordinance No. 2-77." I 12. An existing fire hydrant is located at the intersection of Eddy and 35th Streets. No additional hydrants are shown on the proposed pIa t. 13. The proposed plat does not include a proposed storm drainage system. 14. 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. 15. An environmental checklist, submitted by the applicant, was reviewed by the City Council which determined on March 1, 1988, that the proposed.short subdivision would not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment, and that an environ- mental impact statement would not be required under RCW 43.210.030 (2)(c). 16. On May 26, 1988, the applicant appeared before the Planning Commission to ask for reconsideration of conditions #5 and #6 pertaining to rights-of -way dedications which had been included in the findings and conclusions of the Planning Commission, dated March 10, 1988. I 17. The Planning Commission adopted on May 26, 1988, revised findings and conclusions in approval of the preliminary short plat which required dedication of reduced area for public street purposes. 18. On July 19, 1988, the applicants, represented by counsel, appeared before the City Council to appeal certain conditions imposed by the Planning Commission in its preliminary plat approval. 19. On August 2, 1988, the City Council heard additional testimony on the appeal. CONCLUSIONS 1. The dedication of the western twenty-three (23) feet of proposed lots 3, 4 and 1 running through the proposed short plat from the northern terminus õf 37th Street is a necessary and reasonable requirement to provide for existing and projected roads, anticipated traffic patterns,public convenience and safety. 2. Dedication of the northern twenty-five (25) feet of proposed Lot 1 is a necessary and reasonable requirement to provide for existing and projected roads, anticipated traffic patterns, public convenience and safety.. Elevator for City Hall. Mr. Grove reported that the following bids for handicapped improvements to City Hall were opened on July 14, 1988: Restroom Carpeting Bidder Base Bid Alternate Alternate I Reijnen Tollshark Rowley Nordland $140,134 163,800 167,900 176,400 $1,584 5,100 4,450 3,700 $2,225 2,099 3,150 4,500 25 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF AUGUST 2, 1988 Cont. I Les Tonkin reported that the bids are substantially higher than his original estimates. The suppliers of the elevator alone exceeded his estimates by more than $20,000 because a standard elevator would not fit into the shaft. He reported that another elevator supplier has been found that has an elevator which can meet the handicapped requirements without as much expense to modify. Based on this information and other changes to the pro- ject, Reijnen was asked to adjust his bid. The adjusted bid without a stop at the basement would be $119,412 or $124,662 if a stop at the basement is retained in the plans. He suggested an alternate plan which would put the stairway for the basement through an office rather than from the lobby which he estimated would reduce the cost by $2 - 3,000. After a brief discussion, Mr. Stricklin reported that there will be an additional cost of $3,000 for three phase power and recommended that the project be rebid which was supported by Mayor Shirley. Mr. Grove reminded the council that if the city wants Mr. Tonkin to supervise the construction, an additional $6,000 will need to be added to the price tag. It was determined that the total cost of the project even with the modifications will still be between $135,000 and $140,000 with out any contingency including the installation of the power, sales tax, restroom, and construction supervision. Mr. Tonkin indicated he would do the revised bid documents for no additional charge to the city. After a brief discussion, Councilmember Clise made a motion to reject all bids which was seconded by Councilmember Camfield and passed unanimously by voice vote. After a brief discussion on the costs and financing sources, Mayor Shirley requested that Mr. Tonkin revise his estimates to reflect all the most recent cost figures and allow Ted Stricklin, Michael Hildt, and David Grove to review them and come back to the council with a recommendation at the next council meeting. RESOLUTION NO. 88-58 I A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT TOWNSEND ESTABLISHING THE TERMS AND LIMITS FOR LOANS FROM THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUND Mr. Grove explained the changes proposed by the HUD Loan Panel. David Kahley was recognized and spoke in favor of the resolution. Councilmember McCulloch explained that the panel is recommending no interest on loans paid back during the first year as an incen- tive to encourage recycling of the funds. After a brief discussion and at the recommendation of the City Attorney, Councilmember Clise made a motion to adopt the resolution with the insertion in section 8 that each loan will be evidenced by a promisory note secured by a mortage or deed of trust recorded against the property which was seconded by Councilmember Owsley and passed with six councilmembers voting in the affirmative. Councilmember McCulloch abstained from voting because she serves on the HUD Loan Panel. ORDINANCE NO. 2118 AN ORDINANCE REQUIRING THE OWNER OR THE PERSON IN CHARGE OF A DOG TO REMOVE ALL FECES DEPOSITED BY SUCH DOG; PROVIDING A PENALTY FOR ANY VIOLATION THEREOF; I , AND ~ PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE Mr. Grove read the ordinance by title. After a brief discussion, Councilmember Clise made a motion that the first reading be con- sidered the second and the third be by title only which was seconded by Councilmember McCulloch and passed unanimously by voice vote. Mr. Grove again read the ordinance by title. Councilmember Clise made a motion to adopt the ordinance with the inclusion of the Seavey Memorial Sculpture project which was seconded by Council- member McCulloch and passed unanimously by roll call vote. 26 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF AUGUST 2, 1988 Cont.

Councilmember Camfield made a motion that the first reading be considered the second and the third be by title only which was seconded by Councilmember Jones and passed unanimously by voice vote. Mr. Grove again read the ordinance by title. After a brief discussion recognizing that this went beyond the original direction of the council, Councilmember Jones made a motion to adopt Ordinance No. 2120 without the addition of Section 2 Item (3) which was seconded by Councilmember Owsley and passed unanimously by roll call vote. ORDINANCE NO. 2117 I AN ORDINANCE APPROPRIATING THE SUM OF $2,790 TO THE CURRENT EXPENSE FUND, $4,247 TO THE HOTEL-MOTEL TRANSIENT TAX FUND, $97,943 TO THE LIMITED TAX GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND REDEMPTION FUND, $621,365 TO THE FIRE EQUIPMENT CONSTRUCTION FUND, $40,000 TO THE WATER-SEWER FUND, MAKING FINDINGS, AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY Mr. Grove read the ordinance and explained that this reading is for introduction only and the ordinance will be adoptable at the next regular council meeting.

Proposal from Wooden Boat Foundation for Engineering Study. Mayor Shirley explained that he encouraged the Wooden Boat Foundation to offer to manage the Marine Park Community Building before we were forced to close it because of damage to the pilings supporting it. 27 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF AUGUST 2, 1988 Cont. I The council reviewed a letter dated July 27, 1988, from Tod Wake- field, Director of the Wooden Boat Foundation, offering to finance up to $600.00 for a detailed inspection by an engineer of the Marine Park Community Building substructure with a written report and recommendations to follow. After a brief discussion during which the council reaffirmed that accepting their offer did not obligate the council to anything in the future, Council- member Camfield made a motion that the council accept their offer which was seconded by Councilmember Owsley and passed unanimously by voice vote. Shoreline Substantial Development Permit Application No. SDP88-0010 John Nesset. Mr. Hildt explained that the staff for the Shoreline Advisory Board from Jefferson County Planning has prepared findings and conditions which could be used by the city council if they choose to approve this request to remodel a commercial two-story building as a residential duplex west of and adjacent to Jefferson Title at 2215 Washington Street. He indicated that the council received copies of three letters from Earnest Callahan, an adjacent property owner objecting to the use of the existing foundation, the lack of detailed parking on the plans, and the building height. After a brief discussion, Councilmember Kenna made a motion that the council make the following findings of fact and grant the permit under the following conditions: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The Jefferson-Port Townsend Shoreline Management Master Program requires that a shoreline substantial development permit be issued by the City of Port Townsend for development of the proposal. The following sections of the program apply in review of the proposal: 1.20, "Purposes"; 4.105, "Urban Designation"; 4.201,"Primary Use"; 5.160, "Residential Development". I 2. The proposal has been administratively classified as a primary use in an urban designation by criteria established in the Jeffer- son-Port Townsend Shoreline Management master Program. 3. The property is zoned C-II by the Port Townsend Zoning Ordinance. 4. The adjacent property to the northeast is occupied by a resi- dence and title company owned by the proponent. The adjacent properties to the southwest are occupied by an automotive repair business. 5. The existing foundation foot print of the structure would not be altered. 6. The following additional permit is required for the develop- ment of the proposal: A. City of Port Townsend building permit. 7. Notice of the application was made by publishing legal notices in the June 22 and 29, 1988, editions of the Port Townsend Leader, posting the site of the proposed development with notices on June 29, 1988, and notifying by mail immediately adjacent property owners. CONDITIONS I 1. The proponent shall implement stormwater runoff control measures to prevent beach erosion and sedimentation of Port Townsend Bay. 2.All lighting shall be designed, placed, and if necessary, hooded so as not to create glare that would impair the safety of marine traffic. 3.The maximum height of the structure shall not exceed thirty-five feet. - ....
