Gentlemen:
It is with great disappointment that I view the total elimination of the City's participation in the Port
Townsend-Jefferson County Civil Defense Program. may I bring to your attention Chapter 2.24 of the City
Municipal Code entitled "Civil Defense Administration." This ordinance dated 1963, established the Port Townsend-
Jeffièrson County Civil Defense Organization. It also established a special pooled fund administered through the
Jefferson County Treasurer entitled the "Jefferson County-Port Townsend Civil Defense Fund." Section 2.24.030
of this same ordinance, directs that the cost and expense of this joint organization shall be born by the City
and county on a 50/50 or matching basis.
On July 1, 1971, Federal matching funds were made available to local civil defense organization enabling
them to receive up to one-half of all costs of personnel and administration. Jefferson County-Port Townsend
Civil Defense met the requirements laid out by both Federal and State Civil Defense, and approvel of matching
funds was granted. With this approval, a part-time clerk-typist was employed by this office. At the present
time, a complete up-dated of office filing procedures, surplus property inventories, and community fallout
shelter supply inventories, is nearing completion. An up-dating of the County Emergency Operations Plan is
scheduled for early in 1972.
I
,
- We are one of the few areas in the State of Washington that does not have a budget or the support of a full
time Director and staff to carry out its Civil Defense responsibilities. Hopefully, the City of Port Townsend
will reconsider its position in this matter and again budget monies so that all our citizens will have the
security of this needed support and without a serious curtailment of the local civil defense program.

Dear Mayor Smith:
I hereby submit a request for a change of zoning

Sincerely,

As there was no comment from the public the hearing was closed.
Mayor Smith opened the Public Hearing on a request for a variance by Lyman M. Ellis and asked the City Clerk
to again read the subject for the public hearing:
Nov. 1, 1971
Attention: Port Townsend City mayor and Council Members
The following described property:
Lots 1 to 3, inclusive, the East 50 feet of Lots 4 and 6, all of
Lots 7 and *, block 259; and Lots 5, 6, 7 and 8, fulock 260;
All in Supplemental Plat of Eisenbeis Addition to the City of
Port Townsend, according to plat recorded in Volume 2 of Plats
Page 24, in Jefferson County, Washington; EXCEPT the right of way
of State Highway No.9,
Has been zoned as residental property.
This property is on Sims Way coming into town, lecated between Kruse Car Agency and Port Townsend
Appliance Store.
I have an opportunity to sell part of this property to Mr. Floyd Chesbro, who wants to open a Furniture
and Carpet Store.
I would like to have this property zoned as Commercial property.
Sincerely,
/s/ Lyman M. Ellis.
Mr. Wallin spoke from the audiance and stated that the Planning Commission's recommendation on this matter
was to zone commercial along Sims Way to the City Limits instead of spot zoning. He said that he was in
favor of spot zoning instead. There was a question from the audiance asking if this request was considered
a variance and not a rezone. Mayor Smith stated that this was a¡ gray area and it was up to the Council to
consider how to handle it. As there was no further comment the hearing was closed.
OLD BUSINESS
The request for a variance by Robert Sahli was brought on the floor by Mayor Smith. City Attorney Abraham
said the council is confronted with making findings as set forth in the zoning ordinance and read several
parts of Section 6.10 as examples. He stated that rezoning requires an amendment to the ordinance. Since
these two requests were for variances the Coucnil then must make findings as set forth by the zoning
ordinance to grant them. The Mayor directed the Clerk to read the letter of recommendation sent by the
Planning Commission.
Dec. 7, 1971
Honorable Mayor
City Council Members
City of Port Townsend
At the regular November meeting of the Port Townsend Planning Commission, a request was read from
Robert Sahli for a change of zoning at property located of the corner of Lawrence Street and Van Buren
Street, from single family residence to multiple dwelling.
The Planning Commission wished to inform the City Council that they did not have sufficient information
to make an informed aecision concerning the rezoning request by Robert Sahli.
/s/ Kay Miner, Chairman
Port Townsend Planning Comm.
Mayor Smith stated that this request was for an unfinished structure and that it did constitute a special
circumstance. He said the basic principle here is, within the limits of the zoning ordinance is a variance
proper to do something in regard to this. Councilman Hoglund stated that in this special circumstance he
failed to see the need for discussing anything in the way of rezoning since this is only a certain portion
of the zone. He stated this one section does create a specail circumstance where the unfinished structure
if finished off would be multifamily. He considered this as'a variance and could not see going into extensive
rezoning for the area. He stated that when specail circumstances exist the council can act on it as a
variance. City Attorney Abraham stated that the first requi~ement the council must find is that it does

need for rezoning this,area and moved that the petition for variance by Robert Sahli be granted. It
was seconded by Steve. Motion carried.
Mayor Smith brought the Ellis variance ~equest before the council and requested the Clerk to read the
recommendation from the Planning Commission.

The Port Townsend Planning Commission, at the regular November meeting discussed a request from
mr. Lyman M. Ellis, for a rezoning of property he owns on Sims lliay, between Kruse, Car Agency and Port
Townsend Appliance Store. He desires this property to be changed from Residential Zoned property to
Commercial Zoned property, to allow ,a buyer to open a Furniture and Carpet Store there.
The Planning Commission would suggest to the City.C9unc¡~. t9 d~f~r.acti9n.on the, request by
Mr. Ellis, in order to consider the followi':1g recomm~ndat~on: . ", " ,.
The trend seems to be more and more property along,Sims,lliay dey~¡oping.intQ Ço~~ercia¡ use rather

The Port Townsend Planning Commission, therefore r~cQmmen9? to,the City Council to rezone Sims lliay

Dear Sir:
I
Enclosed herewith please find two copies of plans by the writer Claude M. Boland, D.B.A., Boland
Construction Co., licensed and bonded asa General Contractor in the State of lliashingtion and holder of
a local business license, sheets 1 and 2 of 2 dated Dec. 6, 1971, for a proposed apartment to be
constructed at the intersection of Garfield and Madison as shown on the plot plan on sheet 2.
This proposal consists of one building containing 4 apartments with 2 bedrooms and baths in each unit.
The building will be privately owned, financed and constructed by the writer.
The architecture of the building, we believe, is such that it would meet the voluntary Victorian
guide lines of the city and would be an asset to the community.
The lot is presently zoned R-l. There is an existing apartment on the opposite corner in the same
block. A large 2 story older gray home.
The writer would like to request rezoning or a variance, which ever would be applicable in this
case.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Claude ~. Boland
Boland Construction Co.
Mayor Smith stated he considered this a rezone and said he would have it forwarded to the Piänning Comm.

mayor Smith explained that this came about because of the application in fbr the EDA grant for City Hall and
equipment barn. He stated time is'of the essence since construction must begin quite soon after receiving
the grant. It is necessary to have someone to engineer the job. He would recommend hiring the City Engineer.
Roger French, City Engineer, explained what the duties of the project engineer would be. Councilman Hoglund
asked if Roger French represented Olympic Peninsula Enterprises, Inc., named in the resolution. French
answered that he did. It was pointed out the 7% engineering fee is less than the usually charges 10%.

He stated we had several locations to choose from - Umatilla St., Cherry St., Gravel pit, golf course, and
the present location of the barn. Councilman Steve stated he was in favor of putting it on the present
site. .He stated this would keep the city employees close to the center of bu~iness. Mayor Smith said he
would strongly recommend the Cherry St. site since it is centrally located in the town and would facilita~e

action was taken.
