impact statement that will allow for comment on the relevant impact
of the variety of situations affected by the secondary sewer
treatment project.

another plant being built.

Burns, the original inhabitants of the Pink House, she also stated
that she has read the architects report and the Pink House Ad Hoc

of time.
I

the report of the Pink House Ad Hoc Committee and expressed concern
that usable parts of the Pink House be removed and retained for
future restoration of the house.
Bob Pittinger was recognized and stated that he is not a member of
the North Beach citizens Committee but has lived there over 20
years and this is the first year that the streets have been
graveled. He also questioned why the secondary sewer treatment
plant should be a "regional plant" rather than a local plånt.
Mayor Pro-Tem Kenna stated that the State and Federal Government
are looking to us to solve pollution problems and they are trying
to find regional and county ways to do that. The plant has been
engineered to accept a maximum of 10% which includes Cape George
and septage.

Stricklin if he could be on a citizen's advisory committee three
years ago and was told that there was not going to be one, the
plumbing coming into the plant is marginal and the sludge and
septage disposal plan has alternatives but no conclusions. Septage
and sludge can be handled together at the land fill and do not have
to be handled at the plant.
Mary Fitch was recognized and stated that it is good that citizens
can bring their concerns to the Council and feel that they are
being heard and it is the wish of the citizens to keep Port
Townsend beautiful and great and the treatment plant should be
elsewhere, such as an industrial area or on the outskirts of town
instead of this prime area.

project, Hancock and 12th Streets will be substantially developed

Committee for 5:00 PM on February 13, 1990.
Finance. Councilmember Owsley reported that the Commi1::tee had met
wi th representatives of the Chamber of Commerce and discussed their
request for $3,287.90 for a reprint of the Visitor's Guide, the
Committee does not recommend approval of this request at this time
because this is a bill from July 1989 and was not mentioned earlier
or during the budget hearings when $41,275.00 was granted.
I
Councilmember Owsley also reported that the Committee is in favor
of approval for costs to complete the meeting room of 1:he library,
$2,600.00 for the counter and $5,175.00 for woodwork refinishing,

made a motion that the Council authorize a contract for the
additional work to be done now while the contractor is on the site
with the funds to come from Current Expense which was seconded by
Councilmember Camfield and passed unanimously by voicE~ vote.
I
Pink House Ad Hoc. Councilmember Camfield read the rE~port of the
Committee and made a motion that the Council accept the report of
the Pink House Ad Hoc Committee and authorize the removal of the
back two sections of the Pink House, keeping as much r~aterial for
future restoration as possible, which was seconded by Councilmember
Owsley. Councilmember Camfield made note that everyone who had made
comments about the Pink House was sent a copy of the report and was
invi ted to make comments on it. Mr Grove explained thl~ process of
making up the list, sent out 39 letters and had received phone
calls from Lillian Mueller and Peter Bonyun expressing their
support of the recommendations. Mildred Jones was recognized and
stated that she has concerns about not enough on-site parking and
children crossing a street to get to the library. Mr Grove
explained that the Catholic Church has not been formally contacted,
but they have indicated that joint use parking might he available
since it is on a less travelled street than having to cross
Lawrence Street; 50% of the parking required will be on site and
the other 50% will be from a joint use agreement off-sit,e; required
handicapped parking will be provided on-site. Margaret Lee
questioned the timing for the removal of the back sec1:ions of the
house and her concern that re-usable materials should be salvaged
and a detailed documentation of the removed portions of the house
should be done. Mr Grove explained that the first step is for the
Council to make their determination, the Advisory Council and the
State Historic Preservation Officer have to give their approval and
any conditions or suggestions and the plans for the ~lork have to
be done before anything can be done at the house. Linda Townsend
was recognized and appreciated receiving the report in time to come
~'(O
MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF FEBRUARY 6, 1990, Cont.
to the meeting and thanked the committee for their recommendations
and questioned if the option of removal of the building from the
site has been eliminated. Mr Grove explained that is the very last
thing that would be considered if all other options have been
exhausted. Councilmember Camfield restated the intent of her
motion to remove the back two portions of the house be removed,
that all trees except for the pear tree adjacent to the carport be
retained, that parking on the Pink House site be limited to those
at the rear of the lot and two level handicapped spaces be placed
next to the library entrance, the property behind the Pink House
be landscaped and terraced to the main entrance of the Library with
a sidewalk from Harrison Street to the entrance, all other required
parking should be accommodated by an off-site contract with a
property within the legal distance. The motion passed unanimously
by voice vote.
I
Mr Grove explained that the next logical step is for the architect
to be directed to prepare a site plan for the improvements and that
the Library Board be authorized to contract for those improvements
to provide parking access as recommended. Councilmember Camfield
made a motion to that effect which was seconded by Councilmember
Clise and passed unanimously by voice vote.
