Mitigating Measures: I 1. The bluff on the subject property has been identified as an environmentally sensitive area in the Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan. The building shall have a twenty-foot setback from the bluff as shown on the site plan dated July 4, 1989 submitted by the applicant. 2.

Any vegetation on the bluff which is disturbed during grading or construction shall be replanted. I Councilmember Kenna reported that the committee met with Denny LaVigne to review the proposed site plan for parking at the bowling alley/miniature golf course at the corner of Jefferson Street and Kearney Street. He indicated that mitigating measures were identified which would reduce the impact of the changes in use of this property. 1. The city would install a "No Parking" sign on the north side of Jefferson Street creating a open space of between thirty-five and forty feet from the intersection of Kearney and Jefferson Streets. 2. A license for use of the right-of-way will be prepared to permit the use of the Jefferson Street right-of-way. 3.

A discussion ensued regarding the encroachment of the planter boxes into the right-of-way and pedestrian passage on Kearney and Jefferson Street. It was reported that a wooden curbing would be installed adjacent to the planter boxes along Jefferson street which would leave a walkway open for pedestrians. Councilmember Kenna made a motion that the council approve the site plan copied for the council on June 30, 1989 provided that the seven conditions described above are met which was seconded by Councilmember Clise. After a brief discussion about the on-site lighting for the golf course, Councilmember McCulloch made a motion that an additional condition be added as follows: 8.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS Response to Parking Al ternati ves for Library. Mr. Grove explained that the council received a letter dated July 13, 1989, from Charles Wallin urging them not to accept a bid for the expansion of the Library or act on the disposition of the Pink House because there are related legal questions. Mr. Grove also re!ported that the council received a letter dated July 10, 1989, from Jodie Hatchet opposing the action taken by them on the disposition of the Pink House. Mr. Grove explained that he polled the colJlncilmembers who voted in favor of the action taken with regard to t:he property at 1256 Lawrence Street during the last city council meeting and presented a proposed modification to finding No.6 and Conclusion No.2. Councilmember Owsley made a motion to adopt the following revisions to Finding No.6 and Conclusion No.2 which ~Tas seconded by Councilmember Chang and passed by voice vote with five councilmembers voting in the affirmative. Councilmembers Kenna and Jones voted against the motion. Revised Finding No.6: I 6. During the public hearing process, the following alternative methods to handle the parking needs of library patrons were considered: a. Lease the parking lot across the street behind the dEmtal office for after 5:00 PM usage. b. Lease the parking lot of the Catholic Church. c. Install more on-street parking. d. Construct a small parking lot behind the Pink House ~rith ingress and egress from Harrison Street. e. Return to the original plan with parking on the north and east of the addition with ingress and egress from Fillmore Street. f. Move the Fire Hall someplace else. g. Move the Library someplace else. Revised Conclusion No.2: I 2. The alternatives to provide off-street parking for patrons of the Port Townsend Public Library are not feasible for the following reasons: a. Leasing the parking lot across the street behind the dental office for after 5:00 PM usage is not feasible because it will not be available during peak hours of use. It is inadequate in size and it is inconvenient to library patrons. There are concerns for pedestrian safety in crossing Lawrence Street. b. Leasing the parking lot from the Catholic Church is not feasible because it is too far away. If parking and access is made too inconvenient, the substantial public funds spent may not be cost- effecti ve as library use and circulation of materials \odll suffer. There are no sidewalks that would link this lot with the library site. C. Installing more on street parking could only be accomplished by introducing diagonal parking which is not feasible beGause it is hazardous. Diagonal parking requires the driver to back into arterial traffic, particularly at the slope of Lawrence Street in front of the library. Peak parking needs for public and staff are estimated at one parking space for each 200 square feet~ of library floor space. Peak off-street parj<:Ih'g needs assume norma.l on-street 242 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF JULY 18,1989, Cont. parking is also available. Therefore, although diagonal parking in front of the library would gain about five spaces, on-street parking is not sufficient in location or amount to meet peak parking needs. d. Constructing a small lot behind the Pink House with ingress and egress from Harrison street is not feasible because of the lack of available area to meet the needs of the library and the Pink House. The Pink House site would be so drastically altered that the residential use for which it was designed would no longer be appropriate. There is not enough space to turn around and park as well. The visual aspects of the library addition are obstructed by the Pink House and outside programing needs the area occupied by part of the house in order to be implemented. e. Returning to the original plan with parking on the north and east of the addition with ingress and egress from Fillmore street is not feasible because it does not provide for outside facilities and there are concerns for safety of ingress and egress. This plan did not provide for a sufficient number of off-street parking spaces. f. Moving the Fire Hall someplace else is not feasible because of the proximity to large, wood frame, historic structures in the district. The move would be costly and any alternate site would likely be distant from these structures or negatively impact neighboring properties within the historic district. g. Moving the library someplace else is not feasible because the public valued preservation of the Carnegie Library building and its continued use as a library in the future. Preservation of the building as a different use is considered far less valuable. I RESOLUTION NO. 89-57 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE USE OF A PORTION OF UNUSED JEFFERSON STREET I Councilmember Clise made a motion to approve Resolution No. 89-57 which was seconded by Councilmember Camfield and passed by voice vote with four councilmembers voting in the affirmative.

COUNcILMEMBERS GENERAL DISCUSSION Library Parking Plan Development. councilmember Clise suggested that the Mayor create an adhoc committee to work with the library board in the development of a parking plan for the property where the Pink House is presently located. He suggested that a councilmember, a local resident in the area, a representative from the men's garden club, and an employee from the Parks Department be included on this committee. Councilmember Kenna requested that this committee develop at least one plan which would leave the house intact. Councilmember McCulloch supported this as an appropriate backup in the event that no viable bids are received. Councilmember Camfield expressed concern that the Library Board not be removed from the planning process and suggested that they have one representative on the committee. Mayor Shirley asked Councilmember Camfield if she would chair this adhoc committee as a part of her leadership of the Parks and Property Committee which she agreed to do. Councilmember Kenna volunteered to serve on the committee as well. Councilmember Camfield asked when the city would be call for bids on the pink House.
