' i Findings: 1 . Applicants request vacation of a portion of Copper Street extending 147 feet: southwest of the established (pavement) right-of-way of Umatilla Avenue. The: portion of Copper Street to be vacated lies between Block 10 and Block 21, , Plat of Dundee Place, Supplementary Addition to the Hastings 3rd Addition to i Port Townsend, Vol 2 of Plats, See 3, Twp 30N, Rge 1W, W M. The applicants' : property, entirely within the RI zoning district, abuts both sides of the area to be vacated. 2. The portion of Copper Street proposed to be vacated is unopened to Umatilla Avenue. The slope from the Copper Street right-of-way down to the established Umatilla Avenue roadway is too steep to build a satisfactory street to Umatil~a Avenue. The close proximity of opened and established Silver Street provides! adequate present and future vehicular access to Umatilla Avenue from neighborr ing streets. ' 3. Access to the neighboring Elliston property at 3311 Copper would continue, through the remaining Copper Street right-of-way from Corona Avenue. Vacation of the requested portion of Copper Street would consolidate under single! ownership a continous tract of property on which the Coleman-Furlong house: has been under restoration by the applicants. 468 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF APRIL 5, 1988, Cont. ---------------,------------ -,- -------,------ --~---- ,------ -. -, ---- ------ 4.

Mr Hildt reviewed the findings, conclusions and conditions of the Port Townsend Planning Commission. Mayor Shirley opened the hearing to the public. Paul Marcoux of Union Wharf Associates, Bart Philips of the Economic Development Council and Marie Shirley were all recognized individually and spoke in favor of the variance. Sheila Westerman, David Hero and Dan Blood were all recognized individually and spoke against the variance because of the parking problems already existing in the down- town area. Paul Marcoux was again recognized and spoke saying that fifty-one parking spaces is reasonable for this project. Mayor Shirley closed the hearing to the public and turned the variance over to the Council for disposition. After discussion in which it was clarified that the parking spaces required are in add- ition to those presently available, Councilmember Kenna made a motion to approve the variance with the following findings, conclusions and conditions which was seconded by Councilmember Clise and passed by voice vote with Councilmember Chang opposing. ¡Findings: 11. Applicant proposed to redevelop the existing Union Wharf as a multiple-use I commercial facility, including a passenger ferry terminal, a public fishing i pier, transient boat moorage, a terminal for tour or cruise boats, a forty-five I room inn, a maritime museum, a restaurant, a marine hardware store and other I retail space. ! 1'2. Union Wharf is in the C-III zoning district within the Port Townsend Historic i District and the Downtown Parking District. The site is described as a portiom ! of Tideland District 51A and 51B within Block 9 of the Port Townsend Original I Townsite and the adjacent Taylor Street right-of-way, all within Section 11, 1ownship 30N, Range 1W, WM. The property is owned by the City of Port Townsenø, Jefferson County, and the Washington State Department of Natural Resou\ces.

The present Union Wharf is structually unsound and is slated for demolition by! the Department of Natural Resources which has, however, agreed to postpone I demolition as long as there is a viable redevelopment proposal pending. 14. The applicant proposes to demolish and reconstruct the existing wharf, includi~g I the existing building of approximately 11,000 square feet. The reconstructed i I wharf would have an area of 58,550 square feet of which 26,020 square feet of! decking is to be open to the public for active and passive pursuits. Three new, , two-story buildings are to be constructed on the sharf to house the inn, rest-' I aurant, marine museum, retail stores, public circulation areas and rest rooms.: I These total approximately 40,000 square feet. i , I 15. Applicant seeks variance from Chapter 17.28 Port Townsend Municipal Code to ' waive parking requirements for the proposed redevelopment, stating, "It will not be possible to redevelop Union Wharf in compliance with the requirements of Shoreline Management Master Program and the Standards for Rehabilitating Historic Structures without a waiver of the parking requirements." Applicant I states further that a waiver is sought rather than a reduction in requirements! because it is not possible to located any long term parking on Union Wharf. i 6. All construction on the project is proposed to comply with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitiation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating: Historic Buildings. i I 17. The City Council determined on March 3, 1987, that the proposed project will i not have a significant effect on th environment and issued a declaration of I nonsignificance pursuant to the State Enviornmental Policy Act. I . . - 18. I ¡9. i On May 21, 1987, the City Council issued a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit with variance from certain performance standards and policies of the Jefferson-Port Townsend Shoreline Management Master Program. I . i The Washington State Department of Ecology denied the substantial development I permit and variance on. June 15, 1987. Applicants, together with the City of ¡ Port Townsend and Jefferson County, appealed the denial to the Washington State Shorelines Hearings Board ln July 13, 1987. Hearings are scheduled on the ap-, peal in early March, 1988. ' 10. On December 1, 1987, the City Council enacted Ordinance No 2093, which made, several modifications to the parking requirements of Chapter 17.28, including i reduced requirements in the Downtown Parking District which now apply to the proposed redevelopment of Union Wharf. . , 11. Although the application for variance was received on March 18, 1987, the Planr ning Commission has, with the expressed concurrance of the applicant, postpone~ its recommendation until after consideration of downtown parking policies and: the above-mentioned amendments to Chapter 17.28. ' I ~2. Under current provisions, the proposed I parking as follows: I Use Area (sq. ft. ) I 45 Hotel Rooms Restaurant project is required to provide off-street i , Parking Requirement ' .751 = .75 = .75 = .75 .75 Marine Museum Marine Hardware 25,000 4,000 4,000 3,000 4,000 1/room x 1/200SF x 1/200SF x 1/600SF x 1/300SF x 33.75 spaces 15 spaces 15 spaces 3.75 spaces 10 spaces Other Retail Passenger Ferry Office & Waiting2 1j100SF x '.75 1 ,000 7.5 85 spaces spaces = Tota 1 I 10rdinance 2093 reduced parking requirements for the Downtown Parking ¡District to 75% of the requirements which otherwise apply. I 2No specific requirement listed in the Port Townsend Muncipal Code; ¡assumed 1 space per 100 square feet. 470 -----______MI~~E~~~~~~ REG~LAR SESSION OF APRIL", 5, 1988, ç()nt. , --- .', .- -------- -------------- -- - - - -- -,."----,,.-,---------.----,----,------'-----___.__n._._' - ..-.-------..-..--.----- 13. Ordinance 2093 provides a further reduction in parking requirements for pro- posed downtown uses which are to be established in a building the design of which has been found to contribute to the Port Townsend Historic District. IT such cases, parking requirements are forty-five percent of the parking require- ments which would otherwise apply, (i.e, outside of the Downtown Parking Disl trict). Accordingly, if the proposed redevelopment of Union Wharf were to be found by the Port Townsend Historic Preservation Commission to be so contrib- uting, the parking requirement would be reduced to fifty-one (51) off-street spaces. I I 114. Union Wharf is bounded on three sides by Port Townsend Bay and by the Front Street and Taylor Street rights-of-way on the northwest end. Taylor Street, in the vicinity of Union Wharf, is a congested retail and residential street with inadequate parking to meet the peak demands of existing uses in the area. Conclusions: 1 . The proposed variance would not amount to a rezone nor constitute change in the district boundaries shown on the official zoning map. 2. The prohibition placed on parking on the wharf imposed by the Shoreline Sub- stantial Development Permit, together with the absence of feasible sites to develop additional parking adjacent to the site, constitute special circum- stances which do not result from actions of the applicant and which are pec~ uliar to the subject property and are not applicable to other lands in the district. Accordingly, literal interpretation of the provisions of Title 17 (Zoning) Port Townsend Municipal Code would deprive the applicant of the righüs commonly enjoyed by other properties similarly situated in the district. I I I I 13. A variance to a substantially lesser degree than the parking waiver requested would not confer a special privilege to the subject property that is denied to other lands in the same district. 4. I The benefits which are likely to accrue to properties in the vicinity from the public areas and complementary retail attractions proposed by the applicant, outweigh the degree of j¡ncreased.street congestion and parking demands likely to result from a substantially lesser variance than the parking waiver reques- ted by the applicant. Accordingly, the granting of a partial varjance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the pro- perty or improv~ments in the vicinity and zone in which the property is sit- uated. . I 5. Although the reasons set forth in the application do not justify the granting of the variance requested and the variance requested is not the minimum var- iance that will make possible the reasonable use of the property, a substan~. tjäll~ lesser variance is justified and necessary. r. Because the granting of a lesser variance than the parking waiver requested b~ the applicant would be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of Title 17 (zoning) of the Port Townsend Municipal Code, would not be injurious to th~ neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare, and because the I proposed project incorporates substantial public benefits including improved access and enjoyment of the shoreline, the City Council grants a variance from the requirements of Chapter 17.28 (Parking) Port Townsend Municipal Code as conditioned. Conditions: I r. Fifty-one (51) off-street parking spaces shall be provided within or immediatlly i adjacent to the Downtown Parking District. The dimensions of up to fifty per- i cent of such parking spaces may be reduced to compact car standards. The I I parking spaces provided shall be additional parking spaces and shall not inCllde parking spaces which exist at the time of the granting of the variance. 12. Each building constructed on the project shall comply with the Secretary of I the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings. Prior to issuance of any building permit for constructio~ of any portion of the project, the Port Townsend Historic Preservation Commis¡ sion shall certify compliance with the applicable guidelines contained therein.

If using the same kind of material is not technically or economically: feasible, then' a compatible substitute may be considered. ! b. New work should be compatible with the historic character of the dis-: trict or neighborhood in terms of size, scale, design, material, color, and texture. ¡Garbage Rate Increase. Mr Grove explained that the reason for the increase in garbage rates relates to the increase in the tipping fees charged by Jefferson: County at the landfill to our present contractor, Superior RefusE. He outlined ai plan for a general increase evenly across the board and a graduated increase with! multiple can users paying a higher rate than single can users. Mayor Shirley; opened the hearing to the public. Bjorn Lunde, David Kahley and Greg Wright were; recognized individually and spoke in favor of the graduated rate with emphasis on! recycling. Chuck Wallin was recognized and spoke against any rate increase and: Mickey McKinny was recognized and spoke in favor of recycling and a reduced rate ¡ for those who recycle and have only one can every other week. There being no . further testimony, Mayor Shirley closed the hearing to the public and turned to : the council for disposition. After a lengthy discussion, Councilmember Chang made a motion that an ordinance be prepared to adopt the graduated rate increase as : proposed and include recycling rates on the same basis which was seconded by Coun cilmember Jones and passed unanimously by voice vote.
