MUNICIPAL CODE. #AB00-087: The First Reading of this Ordinance was presented at the City
Council meeting on March 29, 2000, followed by additional discussion on April 5, 2000.
Animal Control Officer Teri Olson stated that the amendments to Title 7 of the Bremerton Municipal

There were no comments from the public.
#0665 M/S/C/U (Shepherd/Reed) Move to pass Ordinance No. 4701 on second reading, amending

11A - QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING AND RESOLUTION NO. 2748 REGARDING THE SPECIAl
USE PERMIT (PL00-O006) TO ALLOW AN ESPRESSO STAND IN A RESIDENTIAL ZONED (MF)
NEIGHBORHOOD AT 519 S. CAMBRIAN AVENUE: APPLICANT: CHARITO BALISI. #AB00-09-~:
President Arends announced this was a Quasi-Judicial Hearing, and asked if any Council Member
believed their participation would conflict with the "Appearance of Fairness Doctrine", and if they
should be excused. President Arends then asked members of the public if they believed any
Council members should excuse themselves due to a conflict with the "Appearance of Fairness
Doctrine". Ail Council members remained seated.
Building Development Specialist T Tricia Bennon provided visuals of maps showing the Site Plan and
a current Comprehensive Plan Zoning Map for the subject site, which has been commercially
operated since before the adoption of the City's present zoning code in 1988. In 1995 the City's
comprehensive plan was adopted, which classifies this area as General Commercial (C-G). The
City's current zoning map, which was readopted upon the adoption of the comprehensive plan,
maintains this area as residential (MF). The Growth Management Act, which governs Comprehensive
Planning and Zoning activities, requires cities and counties to zone land in conformance to their
adopted plans. Given that requirement, it is evident that the subject property should be rezoned to
commercial. The proposed use of the property for an espresso stand is the kind of use, which would
be allowed outright in a commercial zone. Thus, the use conforms to the comprehensive plan but not
the "MF" zone, which excludes such a use.
While it would be possible for the City to consider a rezone request, the applicant has chosen to
pursue Special Use Permit approval, which is another option that would allow an espresso stand at
this location. This Special Use Permit is being processed under the provisions of BMC 21.02.790
addressing less intensive non-conforming uses.
The previous tenant occupying the site was Galaxie Rentals (a construction equipment rental
company). Galaxie vacated the property in mid-1999 and moved to a new location. The fact that the
property has not been vacant for more than a year preserves the non-conforming use status of the
property. The Planning Commission on March 21, 2000 found that after considering all the relevant
facts, the proposed espresso stand is indeed a less intensive non-conforming use, and thus meets
the test of BMC Section 21.02.790 and should be approved as conditioned.
It was also pointed out that this project is within the scope of the Gateway Project, and acquisition of
this property will begin in approximately 6 months, with site demolition in approximately 1 year. The
applicant is aware of this information, but does wish to proceed.
There were no comments from the public.

Mr. McConnell discussed his hesitancy in approving this project because of safety concerns due to
the heavy traffic of the area. Mr, Olsen also wanted to be assured that the applicants were aware
that the State would soon be obtaining this property to make way for the SR304 Transportation
Improvement Project. Mr, Rollman agreed with the concerns for public safety, and questioned why a
Traffic Study was not done for this project. William Palmer, Community Development Director,
stated it was determined that a Traffic Study was not warranted due to the past use of the property,
and the minimal size and scope of the project.
Mr. Fart pointed out that the applicant meets all of the criteria, and was following the rules that were
passed by Council. Additionally, he commended Ms. Bennon on her presentation. Mr. Law
observed that the speed limit for the area is 25 miles per hour, thus made a suggestion that Council
request additional patrol for the area. Mr. Reed and President Arend$ agreed that common sense
of drivers in the area would be required.
#'131'1 M/SIC (Shepherd/Reed) Move to adopt Resolution No. 2748, approving the Special Use
Permit to allow an espresso stand as a less intensive replacement of a previous non-conforming use.
Motion Carded (7 In-Favor; 2 Opposed) as follows:
Voted in favor of Motion: Shepherd, Farr, Esser, Reed, Law, Olsen, and Arends
Voted opposed to Motion: Rollman and McConnell
11B - QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING AND RESOLUTION NO. 2749 REGARDING AN APPLICATION
FOR REZONE (PL99-0076) TO CHANGE THE CURRENT ZONING FROM RESIDENTIAL "SF-3"
TO COMMERCIAL "PO" ZONING: AND QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING AND RESOLUTION NO.
2750 REGARDING A SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR THE PROPOSED WALGREEN'S; LOCATION'
EIGHT LOTS AT SW CORNER OF SYLVAN WAY AND WHEATON WAY, #AB00-096:
President Arends announced this was a Quasi-Judicial Hearing, and asked if any Council Member
believed their participation would conflict with the "Appearance of Fairness Doctrine", and if they
should be excused. Mr. Olsen disclosed that he had three conversations with a resident of the area,
Arvi Mantyla, who also provided a list of seven names to identify others who were opposed to
commercial development. He attended the beginning of the first Planning Commission meeting on
this issue, but left after being introduced. A telephone call was received from David Richards but
there was no conversation after initial introductions were made. Mr. Olsen concluded by stating he
remained impartial on this issue. President Arends then asked members of the public if they
believed any Council members should excuse themselves due to a conflict with the "Appearance of
Fairness Doctrine". All Council members remained seated.
Building Development Specialist ]' Tricia Bennon began by stating a Rezone and a Site Plan Review
were being presented for approval. The applicant, Peter Powell submitted a Rezone for 8 blocks at
the SW corner of Sylvan & Wheaton Way from "SF-3", a residential zoning designation, to "PO"
Professional Office, a commercial zoning designation. In conjunction with the Rezone, the applicant
also submitted a Site Plan Review, which is normally done administratively by staff, however, in this
case, it was explained that staff combined both applications so the proposal could be evaluated as a
package. Visuals of maps to show the area of the Site Plan were displayed, along with detailed
information for the Council to 1) consider approval of the Rezone from "SF-3" to "PO"; 2) to consider
approval of the Site-Plan Review for the proposed Walgreen's development; and 3) to evaluate and
approve the use as consistent with the "Professional Office" use zoning designation of the
Comprehensive Plan.

Ms. Bennon provided background information, stating that in 1977, the Planning Commission
recommended denial of two separate business rezone requests in the Harkins Place cul-de-sac area.
These requests were subsequently denied by the City Council, or were withdrawn by the applicants.
In addition to the rezone denials, the Planning Commission passed Resolution No. 427 in August
1977, which recommended denial of all commercial rezones in the Harkins Place area, and
reaffirmed the Olympic Manor properties as a residential area.
In 1995 the Comprehensive Plan designated this area as "Commercial & Professional Office" (PO).
The Professional Office zoning district is intended to be a buffer zone placed between neighborhoods
and more intense commercial uses.
Upon adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, the City's current zoning map was re-adopted by City
Council. The result of this re-adoption is that the comprehensive plan takes precedence over the
current zoning. Given the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, the objectives of the Growth
Management Act and the emphasis of the Regulatory Reform Act, the City is well advised to bdng the
existing zoning into conformity with the Comprehensive Plan. This rezone request, once approved by
the City, will bring about that conformity.
On March 21, 2000, The Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezone, and forwarded
the issue with regards to the use consistency to the City Council for a decision determining if the use
is consistent with the "PO" zoning designation, and if the site plan as conditioned should be approved.
Proponents for this project:
James Tracey, Land-Use Attorney for Peter Powell's Development Company (who began his
presentation by asking, for the record, (1) that this Hearing be clarified as an Open Record, Quasi-
Judicial Public Hearing under RCW 36.70(b); (2) that witnesses to be sworn-in; and lastly; (3) that the
entire Planning Department file be formally submitted.) Dave Walden property owner representative,
also spoke in favor of this project, and read a letter into the record from Mr. & Mrs. Dan Barsay.
TAPE #1698
Additional proponents for this project:
Peter Powell of Powell Development Company (Applicant); and lastly, a letter in favor of the project
from William & Harriet McLaren was read into the record by Tom Brandt.
Those who spoke In-Opposition to the project:
Arvi Mantyla, Dickson Joseph Dorr, Leicjh Eathorn Bradley, Steven P. Duffek (also submitted a
letter), David A. Richards, Neva Stenback, William F. Lewis, and Chris Gavin
Closed to the Public and Open to the Council:
Mr. Law asked if the developer was willing to finance traffic safety measures if this project is
approved. Bill Palmer, Interim Planning Director, stated it was clear from testimony heard tonight,
that there is a need for the City to address the traffic concerns raised by the neighbors. However, he
believed it should be done independent from these proceedings, where a recommendation for the
best solution can be reached. He further stated that the developers have gone to "great lengths" to
analyze the problems, and have taken steps to solve the problems in the context of their proposal,
but the City would have to deal with "the bigger picture". He stated when the Statement of Intent is
reviewed, it will be determined this proposal is consistent with the stated intent of the zoning, and
therefore the Comprehensive Plan. He concluded by stating the applicant has a right to assume they
can follow the codes of our City. Mr. Law did not feel his question was addressed, and again asked if
the Engineering Department felt it was appropriate for a Traffic Calming Device on Solie Avenue,
TAPES #1697 & #1698
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
April 12, 2000
Page 6 of 6
would the applicant be willing to pay for it. Mr. 'rracey responded yes, that to the extent the City's
Public Works Department determined the increase in traffic on Solie due to this project, the applicant
would take responsibility for the traffic calming, which could also be made a part of the condition. Mr,
Olsen was disappointed in the response, and felt that after all of the testimony, the developer should
be a "good neighbor" and just go ahead and provide the additional traffic safety measures. Mr, Law
stated that by law, the zoning is in effect, because the Comprehensive Plan is already in place, and
believed if the Council denied approval, the applicants could appeal, and would win.
Terry Gibson of Gibson Traffic Consultants, stated that his company provided the Traffic Study for
the Walgreen's proposal, and discussed the findings of the report, as well as offered clarification. He
also addressed other concerns and comments raised by Mr. McConnell.
Mr. Fart stated that Council was obligated to approve the rezoning, because Council already
approved the Land Use Table of the Comprehensive Plan. He further offered a new perspective on
the traffic issue by stating the problems may be caused by traffic "travelling out of town" to stores in
the County, and if this development was approved, it may in fact improve the traffic situation by
keeping shoppers here.
#6429 M/SIC (FarflReed) Move to adopt Resolution No. 2749, approving the Rezone from "SF-3"
(Single Family Residential) to "PO" (Professional Office).
Motion Carried (8 In-Favor; 1 Opposed) as follows:
Voted in favor of Motion: Rollman, Shepherd, Farr, Esser, Reed, Law, Olsen, and Arends
Voted opposed to Motion: McConnell
Mr. Olsen explained that after hearing both sides of the issue, he believed the counsel
representatives for the applicant misinterpreted the intent of the "PO" zoning, and therefore will vote
against approval of the Site Plan Review. Mrs. Arends agreed that the Comprehensive Plan solved
the zoning issue, however, also had problems with the interpretation of the intent, but felt she must go
with what the words actually say, and so will vote to approve the Site Plan Review.
#6650 M/SIC (FardReed) Move to approve Resolution No. 2750 based upon the finding that the
proposed use is consistent with the "PO" zoning designation and therefore approve the Site Plan
Review as detailed and conditioned in the staff report. Additionally, applicant will provide traffic
calming on Solie Avenue if, at the discretion of the City Engineer, there are findings of a resultant
increase in traffic on Solie Avenue.
Motion Carried (6 In-Favor; 3 Opposed) as follows:
Voted in favor of Motion: Shepherd, Farr, Esser, Reed, Law, and Arends
Voted opposed to Motion: Olsen, McConnell, and Rollman

4. SUMMARY STATEMENT AND REQUIREMENT FOR COUNCIL ACTION:
Replacement for the current biosolids transporter/applicator has been delayed pending determination of need. It has been
determined by the Public Works & Utilities staffthat replacement of this vehicle is crucial to continue biosolids program
operations at this time. The vehicle currently used for transport and application ofdewatered biosolids is a 1983 GMC
Brigadier truck mounted with a Gehl spreader box. From 1991 to 1996 the vehicle was used as a back-up for the primarily
liquid biosolids land application program. A 100% dewatered biosolids application program was phased in during 1996 to

reduce overall program operational costs and more efficiently use the permitted forest lands. The Gehl spreader box is
designed for agricultural application and is limited in the distance it can apply solid material. Originally intended for
occasional use as a back-up to liquid application, the current transporter/applicator has been in continuous use since 1996.
The requested replacement vehicle is an International truck mounted with an Aero Spread applicator box. This combination
will allow dewatered biosolids application up to 200 feet, providing improved operability and efficiency for forest land
application. Estimated replacement cost is $130,000 for the truck and applicator box/Total purchase price is available fi.om
accumulated ERR funds and surplus equipment residual values.
5. IMPACT ON NON-PASSAGE:

$1..IB~CT: Ci~ Bio~olid~ Program St~t~ Report
Summary and Recommendation
The purpose of this paper is to provide support information for a current agenda bill requesting replace-
ment of the bioso~ds transporter/applicato~ truck, and to provide a status report on the City's biosolids
program. The following descn~es current status of the program:
Land application of biosolids on permitted forest lands will continue to be the primary
method of management for beneficial use for the foreseeable future
· Transport and application of dewatered biosolids has proven to be the most cost effective
method of operation
· Current applicator vehicle has limited capabilities for forest land use
· Future ability to permit land application on additional city-owned and other ownership
sites is dependent on upgrading biosolids quality and efficient method of application
· Litigation that had potential for involving the biosolids program may soon be resolved
It is the recommendation of the Public Works & Utilities staffthat the City Council approve the
replacement of the existing transporter/applicator vehicle CGehl" truck) with a new truck mounting an
"Aerospread" applicator box. This recommendation is made for the following reasons:
· The vehicle in current use CGehl" mack) has reached the end of its useful life
· Gehl tmek has limited range for forest land application; the proposed replacement CAerospread")
has 4 to 5 times the application range
· The extended range of the "Aerospread" makes more efficient use of the available land and will
provide capabilities for other potential projects
· Replacement cost is available bom the ERR fund and the residual value of surplus vehicles '

Program Status
Since 1992, the City has been dependent on permitted Water Utility forest lands to utilize 100% of the
biosolids production of the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). Annually, the WWTP produces an
average of 3300 cubic yards of dewatered biosolids which is applied on approximately 415 acres. Nitrogen
contained in the biosolids improves soil quality and increases tree growth. To date the land application
program has been a dependable and economical method of handling biosolids. Though highly regulated,
the land application program has been free from problems with agencies having oversight for biosolids
management.
Beginning in November 1996 biosolids have been dewatered to a solids content of 21%. Prior to this time,
liquid biosolids with a solids content of 3% were utilized. Removal of this large water component provided
the following benefits:
1) Decreased volume of material to be lxansported and applied
2) Reduced labor and equipment requirements
3) Better use of available land
4) Reduced unit costs from $244/dry ton to $174/dry ton (1998 costs; includes WWTP
' processing, transport and application)
Converting from liquid to dewatered biosolids has saved about $54,000 per year in operational costs since
1996.
In May 1999 the City Council approved a request from Edwards' Forest Products, Port Gamble, WA to
lease Water Utility land for the purpose of constructing and operating an in-vessel composting facility.
Public Works & Utilities supported this project as it could accept a portion of the biosolids produced at the
WWTP. The last contact we have had with Edwards' was in January of this year - they were at that time,
still pursuing project financing, and have not to date, executed a lease agreement with the City. It should
be noted that even if this compost facility was in operation, it was estimated that they could only process
about 50% of the WWTP output for a number of years. This would still require us to maintain our ability
to land apply.
Litigation that could have affected the biosolids program was of some concern until recently. The City
Risk Manager will more~ fully inform the Council on this subject in the near future. It does appear likely,
however, that the issues that could negatively affect City biosolids land application will be resolved.
Opportunities for permitting additional Water Utility forest land may be possible, especially if a class A
biosolids is achieved at the WWTP. Other opportunities for biosolids utilization may be available in
surface mining reclamation. A pilot project is currently being conducted by Public Works & Utilities on a
local gravel pit. Results so far have been very favorable. Both forest land application and land
reclamation projects require the ability to efficiently apply solid material at extended distances.
Equipment Status
The vehicle currently used for biosolids transportation from the WWTP and application on permitted land
is a 1983 GMC truck mounted with a Gehl side discharge spreader. The truck was in poor condition when
converted from a Street Dept. dump truck in 1991 to its present configuration. At that time, it was .
intended to be used only as an occasional back-up to the liquid biosolids program. Since 1996 it has been
2
in continuous daily service. The truck bas numerous mechanical problems and the Gehl spreader box
shows signs of advanced wear and serious deterioration fi.om the corrosive effects of the biosolids. Repair
and maintenance costs for both truck and spreader have been increasing. Since 1996, approximately
$16,000 has been spent on this unit, with maj0r component repair still required. The most significant
problem with this unit however, is that it was designed for agricultural field application. It can spread
material out to a maximum distance of about 40 feet, which is inadequate for forest land application. The
requested replacement unit has the capability of applying biosolids to a distance of approximately 200 feet.
Replacement of this unit has been delayed until a detemfinafion of need was made. It is the opinion of the
Public Works & Utilities staff (including the Fleet Maintenance Manager) that replacement as soon as
possible, of the GMC truck and spreader unit is essential to be able to continue with land application
operations.
Estimated cost of replacement for current truck and spreader is $130,000 for an International truck and
Aerospread unit. Accumulated ERR funds and the residual surplus value of the current unit and the Ag-
Gator liquid spreader will cover the cost of replacement.
Conclusion
Forest land application ofbiosolids will continue to be the primary method of management. Dewatered
biosolids is the most efficient and cost-effective mode of operation. Dewatered biosolids require an
efficient transport and delivery system for forest land applicatiom The current transporter/applicator
vehicle is in extremely poor condition and has inadequate range of application. It is requested that the
Council approve replacement.

9. Paint- Approximate Cost: $2,000.00
Total approximate cost: $41,200.00. This estimate is for the major items only.
In order to obtain vehicle safety and reliability, the above repairs will be required.
These estimates are only for the major items to keep this vehicle in w. orking_
condition.
There are many issues to consider when scheduling a piece of equipment for
replacement. Thea~ of the vehicle, c_ost to operate, does the equipment still fit
the need. This vehicle has cost over $14,000.00 in repairs since 1997. As it
ages and is used more and more, these costs will escalate. I understand that
this vehicle no longer fills the need of the City department operating it because
the application has changed, since it was put into service.
It is in my professional opinion that this vehicle has gone past its intended life
cycle, and is not cost effective to keep in the City's fleet.

4. SUMMARY STATEMENT AND REQUIREMENT FOR COUNCIL ACTION:
Two months ago Mayor Horton appointed a Downtown Parking Advisory
Committee, made up of downtown business proprietors and city staff, to
develop a new on-street parking program to expand customer access to public
parking in the downtown core. The Committee is recommending implementation
of a "No Re-par~' rule (whereby parkers can only park one time on the same
name street that day) for all 1 and 2 hour free parking stalls throughout the
core as well as including pockets of short-term paybox areas for those who
wish to stay longer than two hours. Specifically, Free 2 Hour parking - no
re-park - will be located on Washington and Pacific Avenues and 4th Street.
Free 1 Hour parking - no re-park - will be located on 1st, 2nd, Burwell and 5~
Streets and Park Avenue. Short-term payboxes - 2 to 4 hours - will be on
segments of 2nd, Burwell and 4~n Streets. Implementation of this program, if
approved, will commence the first part of June.
8. RECOMMENDATION:
I move to approve on first reading an ordinance establishing new on-
street parking regulations in the Downtown Cor~and amending Chapter 10.11 of

MEMORANDUM
to: Mayor Lynn Horton and City Council~Vlembers
from: Paula Johnston, Deputy City Clerk-~~
subject: Downtown Parking Plan
date: April 12, 2000
Downtown Parking Plan Summary.
The Downtown Parking Advisory Committee reviewed the current parking environment in the
downtown core (bordered by Park Avenue and 6th Street to the water) and has prepared the first
phase of the parking plan for your review. The key elements of the plan are retention of free on-
street parking throughout the core coupled with the 'no re-park' rule, as well as installation of
short-term p~iyboxes for those customers who want to park in a stall longer than the timeframes
offered in the free parking stalls.
The committee wishes to emphasize that this plan is only the first step in re-defining downtown
parking. They hope to explore validation methods for paybox stalls to encourage longer stays
and future patronage by shoppers. Also, the committee is committed to continual evaluation of
the mix of fi-ce parking opportunities and paybox stalls to assure that parking turnover is
maximized while customers are being adequately served.
Free On-Street Parking
Every parking stall in the downtown core currently designated 2hr fi-ce parking will be
redesignated as follows:
2 Hours Free Parking will be assigned to ~1~, Pacific and Washington Avenues
1 Hour Free Parking will be assigned to 1 st, 2nd, Burwell, ~,.~*ffand 5th Streets
All Free Parking stalls will be posted with the 'No Re-Park' rule which states that a parker may
not re-park on the same name street the rest of the day once their free time allotment has expired.
The rule will discourage long-term parking by those currently moving their cars several times a
day on the same block. The goal is to open up parking stalls for shoppers and tourists.
The committee considered retaining 2hr free parking with the 'no-repark' rule on all downtown
streets, but, decided to recommend the mix of 1 and 2 hr timeframes to more effectively combat
the musical car syndrome currently practiced by long-term parkers. They believe that customers
who park in the 1 hr free stalls will be able to move to another street easily (due to no re-park) if
they need more time or they can utilize paybox stalls.

Short-term Paybox Stalls
It is being proposed that we install approximately ten (10) short-term paybox stalls at the east
end of 2nd Street between Pacific and Washington Aves, ten (10) paybox stalls on the south side
of Burwell between Pacific and Washington Aves and approximately fifteen (15) paybox stalls at
the west end of 4th Street between Pacific and Park Aves. The rates and times would be:
O-2hrs - $2
2-3hrs - $3
3-4hfs - $4
The market for this short term paybox opportunity is unknown at this time. The committee will
be evaluating the demand for these stalls throughout the summer. To encourage longer stays and
to reward patronage, the committee would like to institute a validation system using tokens for
these payboxes. Their hope is that customers will be more willing to occasionally pay for longer
periods of time if they are rewarded with tokens to help defray the cost of the stalls. If Council
approves this first phase of the plan, the committee will work with Diamond Parking on
validation methods keeping in mind that on-street parking tokens must be purchased dollar for
dollar.
The existing long-term payboxes (10hrs) on Burwell, Park and 5th Street will remain long-term
but the rate will increase to $4 to equal the highest rate on the proposed short-term payboxes.
Our goal is to implement this plan by June 1, 2000 to coincide with the reopening of the
boardwalk parking lot that will encompass 120 parking stalls for daily parking. We anticipate
that long-term parking lots upland will then open up, increasing the supply of daily stalls for
those all day parkers who will no longer be able to park on city streets eight hours a day.
