Fred Apstein was recogn-i,.?,ed and stated that he would like to speak
if the Council is going to take any action regarding the dumpsters
at Safeway. Mayor Shirley responded that the garbage contractor
is working with Safeway and McDonalds to help with the litter
problem. Mr Apstein spoke saying that people taking material from
the dumpsters are reducing waste and encouraged these stores to do
something good with these materials instead of adding to the
landfill. He suggested giving the materials to the poor or pig or
goat farmers instead of locking up the dumpsters and stated that
the main problem is that the size of the dumpsters has been reduced
and the waste stream coming out of the stores has increased.
I
Kay Zimmerman was recognized and spoke on the dumpsb:!r problem.
She stated that she has been taking food out of the dumpsters and
gi ving it to hungry children. She stated that a more creative
solution could be found than locking up the dumpsters and suggested

recycling, birds are a real problem, and the amount of food that
is being thrown away that could be recycled is tremendous and
should be channeled to hungry children.

PUBLIC HEARING
street Vacation Application No 8909-03 -McDole. Et AI. Mr Hildt
reviewed the findings and conclusions of the Planning' Commission
which recommended denial. Mayor Shirley opened the hearing to the
public. John Barr, a neighbor, was recognized and spoke in favor
of the vacation and stated that his primary concern is: to not see
a road put in. He stated that the current options are a street
vacation or a road and that he would like to see an option for
trails and pedestrian walkways which would keep it as public land
and right-of-way. Beverly Rustad, a neighbor, was recognized and
spoke against the vacation stating the boundaries have! never been
set, utility lines are in the street and that she would like to see
33rd street opened; she also questioned the legality of closing the
street because of this. Scott Walker was recognized and stated he
was in favor of keeping the street for pedestrian right-of-way.
He suggested that this idea can be addressed in the new street
standards ordinance which is before the street Committee. Yhere
being no further testimony, Mayor Shirley closed the hearing to the
public and turned to the Council for disposition. Councilmember
Clise made a motion to adopt the following findings and conclusions
and deny street Vacation Application No 8908-03 which was seconded

I
I
I
Findings:
1.
The applicants propose to vacate the portion of the McNeill
street right-of-way extending from 33rd street north to 35th
Street. The portion proposed to be vacated consists'of the
entire 24-foot width of the McNeill Street right-of-way.
2.
The portion of McNeill Street proposed to be vacated runs
between Blocks 11 and 12, Tibbals Second Addition. The street
abuts Lots 1 and 8 on Block 11, and Lots 4 and 5 on Block 12.
The owners of these four lots have all joined in the petition
to vacate the street.
3.
The McNeill Street right-of-way runs north to south. McNeill
street continues approximately 300 feet to the north of 35th
street, then terminates at the northern boundary of the Moore
Place subdivision. The right-of-way is interrup1¡:ed at 32nd
street to the south of the area proposed for vacation, and
continues again south of Umatilla Street. A s1:ructure is
located in the portion of McNeill Street just to the south of
the area proposed for vacation between Blocks 1 and 2, Tibbals
Second Addition.
4.
There are water and sewer mains located in the portion of
McNeill Street proposed to be vacated. An 8-inch sewer main
in McNeill Street extends from a main in 33rd StJreet, while
a 6-inch water main in McNeill Street connects water mains
located in 33rd and 35th Streets.
5.
The portion of the McNeill Street right-of-way proposed to be
vacated is 24 feet wide. The right-of-way widt:h standard
contained in the State Department of Transportaltion "City
pesign Standards" and Title 18 of the Port Townsend Municipal
Code (Subdivisions) for a local access street is !50 feet.
6.
The applicants state that 33rd and 35th Streets are sufficient
access to all adjacent properties, and that the building in
the McNeill Street right-of-way prevents the street. from being
developed to the south. The applicants also sta1:e that the
right-of-way width of 24 feet is not adequate for a street.
Conclusions:
358
7.
8.
MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF JANUARY 16, 1990, Cont.
1.
The proposed street vacation may impact future traffic
circulation and future maintenance of utility lines.
Therefore, it is not in compliance with the goals and policies
of the Comprehensive Plan.
2.
The portion of the street proposed to be vacated is not
required for current traffic circulation, but may be needed
for anticipated future circulation.
I
3.
The effectiveness of fire, law enforcement, medical or other
emergency services may be impaired by the proposed vacation.
4.
The portion of the street proposed to be vacated is required
for current utility corridor needs.
5.
The portion. of the street proposed to be vacated may be
required as a anticipated bicycle, pedestrian or equestrian
trail corridor.
6.
The portion of the street proposed to be vacated does not abut
on a body of salt or fresh water.
The proposed street vacation does not conform with the goals
and policies contained in the Comprehensive Plan nor satisfies
the review criteria for street vacations set forth in Section
12.20.060 of the Port Townsend Municipal Code.
The City Council supports the intent of the applicants in
requesting the street vacation, and encourages the applicants
to work with the Parks and Public Works Departments to
accomplish the goals stated in the application.

359

of-way, drainage and saving as many trees as possible, it was the
