9A- PUBLIC HEARING AND RESOLUTION NO. 2886 APPROVING INTERLOCAL
AGR~EMENT; CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT; REAL ESTATE
CONTRACT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT; AND CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
AGREEMENT FOR THE BREMERTON GOVERNMENT CENTER (#AB03-029): Mayor Cary
Bozeman provided comments in support of the Bremerton Government Center, and
established that this Resolution was being submitted for Council consideration and review with
supporting agreements relating to the City's participation in the construction and purchase of an
interest through condominium ownership of the Bremerton Government Center. Kathy
McCluskey, Administrative Services Director, summarized the history and the progress of this
project; LMN ARCHITECTS provided a power point presentation on the building concept and
design criteria; a detailed financial report was provided by Michael Wilson, Finance Director;
and Ro,qer Lubovich, City Attorney discussed the details of the proposed Resolution, which
approves and authorizes the Mayor to finalize and execute, in substantially the same form, the
following agreements:
· Interlocal Agreement between the Kitsap County Consolidated Housing Authority, Kitsap
County, and the City of Bremerton
· Construction and Development Agreement between the Kitsap County Consolidated
Housing Authority, Kitsap County, and the City of Bremerton
· Real Estate Contract and Security Agreement between the Kitsap County Consolidated
Housing Authority, and the City of Bremerton
· Continuing Disclosure Agreement
Allen Shute asked if the building would be ADA accessible. Walt Niehoff of LMN ARCHITECTS
established that the building was designed to meet all ADA requirements, and also referred
back to slides from the power point presentation to indicate all accessible areas. Mr. Shute
then requested that proposed Resolution No. 2886 be read in full into the record, which was
done so by Deputy City Clerk Paula Johnston.
Helen Miller presented a letter in support of the project, which was included as part of the
official record.
Wade Lieseke expressed his opposition to this project, and was concerned that the Council
had already made up their minds prior to the meeting tonight. Additionally, he expressed his
belief that this issue should be placed on the ballot to be voted on by the citizens.
TAPE #1880
Lynn Horton provided a brief history of Bremerton to assist in putting this project in current
perspective, and urged the Council to be "bold and courageous" in voting to support the project.
Tim Mathes was concerned that not enough information has been provided to the public.
Helen Miller countered that she has attended numerous meetings in the last three years on the
Bremerton Government Center, and that tax payers need to avail themselves to the information.
Mr. Shepherd asked LMN ARCHITECTS to provide brief reports on the use of recycled building
materials and the use of the art deco theme; and also thanked current Council members,
particularly Wayne Olsen, and former Council members for their involvement in this project.
Mr. Maupin expressed his support for the building, and believes it would be more cost effective
to spend the money now on a new building rather than investing more money to improve the
current building. He also provided brief comments on his involvement with the Health District.

Mr. Younqer provided his reasoning as to why he did not support this project, particularly for
financial reasons. He expressed his concern with how the City would finance the Bremerton
Government Center, because he felt it was important that the public understood exactly what
the costs would be. Gary Tuskber.q discussed the issues raised by Mr. Younger, along with
Michael Wilson, Finance Director.
Mr. Olsen commended the points raised by Mr. Younger, however, pointed out that many costs
have changed due to the number of changes made during the three years, and also that the
actual contractor bids were needed, which were not opened until January 23. Lastly, he asked
Mr. Wilson to elaborate on the use of real estate property excise tax to fund this project, and
the City's bond rating. Norm McClau.qhlan, Director of the Kitsap County Consolidated
Housing Authority (KCCHA), was asked to indicate the members of the KCCHA board, which
includes Mayor's from all the other cities in Kitsap County.
Mr. Ny~lren thanked Mr. Younger for his comments, as well as those of the citizens who were
in attendance tonight as he provided his own comments in favor of this project, which he
described as a "cornerstone of the downtown redevelopment".
Mr. McConnell stated that this was one of the hardest decisions he has had to make as a
Council member, and although he too expressed his concern over the debt capacity of the
bonds and the parking situation, he was ultimately in favor of the project to lead the way in
revitalizing downtown Bremerton. However, he requested answers to several other issues,
including the reasoning for advertising office space as "condominiums"; where would the cost
come for finishing of the interior such as walls and furniture; what other areas would suffer due
to the transfer of $150,000 from the General Fund; could the City afford the cost for continued
maintenance; and lastly, if questioned if consideration has been made for the relocation of the
clarion bells. Mr. Neihoffwas not able to provide an answer at this time, and indicated this
issue would need further study.
Mr. Rollman provided his comments, noting that the building would restore civic pride and
would be a major piece in the revitalization of downtown, however, his main concern was with
the potential lack of parking for the Government Center as well as parking for the Max Hale
Center. In addition, he expressed concerns that the City was exceeding bonding debt capacity,
and questioned if the City would still have money for maintaining capital improvement projects,
and maintaining public safety and streets. Lastly, asked if there would be any attempts to hire
local labor. Mr. McClau,qhlan stated that they have taken steps to remind the contractor that
this was a "revitalization project", therefore the hiring of local people would be advantageous.
TAPE #1881
Mr. Youncler cautioned that the real estate excise tax would be committed for the next 32
years; there would be an additional maintenance expense of $145,000 that could not be paid
with real estate excise tax; and referred to a parking study that showed only a 63% parking
capacity was expected, while at the same time the City is depending on the parking revenue.
Lastly, he pointed out that this project was not a public/private partnership as was indicated
earlier, but is rather a project being funded entirely with taxpayer money.
Mr. McConnell asked additional questions regarding the debt service reserves and what would
happen if all of the construction contingency was not used due to cost overruns. Mr. Wilson
responded that there are provisions in the contract which states that a Committee would study
the use for the distribution of any left over funds.

City and for other costs incurred relating to my work or on the City's behalf The activities for which
my time will be billed will include: conference time, whether in person or on the telephone~

representation, I will provide it to you at the current copy rate per page then in effect at this firm.
Estimates
You may, from time to time, ask me for estimates of my fees and expenses either in whole or in part.

if I do provide you with such estimates, they will be based upon my professional judgment, but
always with a clear understanding that it is not a maximum or fixed fee quotation. I cannot guarantee
that the actual fees and expenses will be at or below the estimates because of factors outside my

RE: Providing Legal Services to the City of Bremerton by Keating, Bucklin &
McCormack, Inc., P.S.
Dear Roger:
This letter will memorialize our discussion on the phone of February 6, 2002. As I
understand it, as the new City Attorney of Bremerton, you have been given authority to
administer risk management and defense of legal claims and lawsuits against the City of
Bremerton. In that regard, you have expressed interest in retaining the services of our law firm
to assist in the defense of the City of Bremerton in current pending lawsuits and potential future
lawsuits.
We would be pleased and honored to be able to provide such services to you as needed at
your direction. As you know from prior experience, this law firm devotes the vast majority of its
efforts in advising and representing governmental entities in all matters for which they may be
sued for civil damages. For 20 years, I have served as General Counsel to Washington Cities
Insurance Authority, and our firm has been the primary defense firm for all civil litigation
matters involving WCIA in the Puget Sound region. Additionally, we represent the University of
Washington, the Seattle School District, the City of Bellevue, and the State of Washington, as
well as other governmental entities on selected cases. While I know you are familiar with most
of the attorneys in this office, we have added several ne~v attorneys in the last year and I am,
therefore, providing you an updated firm resume listing all our current attorneys and their
positions within the firm.
Washington State Bar regulations require that we have some form of written fee
agreement with every client. To that purpose, I will reiterate that the rates that we would charge
the City of Bremerton would be those that we charge our best municipal governmental clients.
For the year 2002, our charges ~vould be $170 an hour for Shareholders, $160 an hour for Senior
Associates, and $150 an hour for Associates. When attorneys use their private cars for travel, we
request 45¢ per mile reimbursement. We also seek reimbursement of 20¢ per copy for
photocopying and faxes. We also cost bill for long distance telephone charges. We will cost
advance file-related direct expenditures up to $50.00, but would normally forward larger bills
Roger Lubovich. City Attorney
Febma~ 7, 2(102
Page 2
directly to the client for payment. However, we can make other arrangements with you as to cost
advances if you so desire.
We have been fortunate in sharing a philosophy with our municipal clients that, whether
or not we are in federal court or state court, we will aggressively pursue defense in those claims
and lawsuits that are not meritorious. This includes either seeking early summary judgments
and/or preparing our clients to take cases through trial that do not merit settlement. Likewise, we
try and give early accurate evaluation of cases for the clieat's determination of those matters
which merit consideration for settlement. We believe in being cost-efficient for our clients, but
also well prepared to take any matter to trial that the client wishes us to defend in court. We
would look forward to the same shared philosophy and support in any matters that we would be
requested to defend for the City of Bremerton.
Once again, thank you for your interest and confidence in this law firm. We look forward
to working with you on behalf of the interests of the City of Bremerton. If these terms and
conditions for our representation as represented in this letter meet with your approval and that of
the City of Bremerton, please send me your written confirmation of that agreement. We are
required by the Washington State Bar Association to have a written fee agreement with every
client. To facilitate this, I have placed a signature line for you below this letter, which you may
sign and return to me if find the terms and conditions acceptable.
Cordially,
Mark R. Bucklin, President

order from the City, including any direction, instruction, interpretation, or
determination by the City, the Contractor shall:
1. Immediately give a signed written notice of protest to the City;
2. Supplement the written protest within fourteen (14) calendar days

incurred as a result of the protested work. The City shall have
access to any of the Contractor's records needed for evaluating the
protest.
3. The City will evaluate all protests, provided the procedures in this
section are followed. If the City determines that a protest is valid,
the City will adjust payment for work or time by an equitable
adjustment. No adjustment will be made for an invalid protest.
B. Contractor's Duty to Complete Protested Work. In spite of any protest,
the Contractor shall proceed promptly with the work as the City has
ordered.
C. Contractor's Acceptance of Changes. The Contractor accepts all
requirements of a change order by: (1) endorsing it, (2) writing a separate
acceptance, or (3) not protesting in the way this section provides. A

RE: City of Bremerton and Kitsap Transit Brownfteids Cleanup Grant Proposal
Dear Mr. Brincefleld;
We have enclosed the final Phase 2 grant proposal for the above referenced proposal herewith.
The Browtlfield$ Cleanup project will remediate petroleum-contaminated soils, reduce risks to
public health, improve water quality, and recycle abandoned, idle industrial land in an
economically distressed re'ban area of Bremerton, Washington. Indicators of economic distress
include rising unemployment, poverty, neighborhood blight and loss of jobs.
The Sinclair Shoreline Redevelopment and Bremerton Conference Center projects are already
underway and have broad stakeholder commitment from the community, schools, government
officials, first nation Tribe, U.S. Navy, key environmental groups and primary businesses.
The three sites included in this proposal all involve commercial redevelopment plans as a part o£
the approvexl future 15,000 square foot regional Conference Center Complex along the Sinclair
Inlet waterfront in Bremerton. By late 2004, the entire project is anticipated to near completion
with the hotel and conference center portions to be complete before that. This is the most new
construction the city has seen in ove~ 20 yeats. With this exciting incoming development, outside
inter~st in o~cupying existing downtown buildings has increased dramatically and operational
businesses will result in economic recovery for this enti~ community.
If awarded, fundinE for this cleanup project on three strategic sites will enable the City to
facilitate the revitalization of this community and the neighboring region surrounding it. Site
cleanup a~tivitie$ are a critical step in the redevelopment process to remove the environmental
contamination and stigma on the existing properties. Once those properties are cleaned up, the
City will work closely with developers and prospective businesses to limit their liability and
protect public h~mlth. The sites ate close to the sensitive estuarine shoreline and are also a risk to
groundwater som'ces.., leaving known contamination on these properties is not an option.
The City will utilize a stxong patmership with the Kitsap Housing Authority, Regional Economic
Development Committee, Kitsap Transit and developer Opus Northwest to access multiple state
and federal funding souses available to realize this vision. We are asking for the assistance of
the Environmental Protection Agency in this critical first phase of development.
Sincerely,
Gnry Sexton
City Economic Development Director & Brownfields Coordinator

Dear Mr. Sexton:
Recently I learned that Bremerton's grant application to the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) has advanced to the second phase of'the competitive review
process conducted under the auspices of EPA's Office o£ Brownfields Cleanup and
Development.
The outstanding efforts of Bremerton to effect a broad redevelopment or'its downtown,
especially its waterfront, areas would be significantly advanced by such an award. The
properties chosen For cleanup are critical components o£ the redevelopment strategy,
according to my review of the plans and a personal inspection o£two of the three sites.
am impressed by the vision o£a renewed and vibrant core for the City, and believe that
EPA Ires b~n given the opportunity to remediate adverse environmental impacts
associated with petroleum-only contamination at each o£these sites, while opening the
door to returning these properties to productive use, benefiting the economy and
community.
It is my pleasure to offer the strongest possible endorsement of your et'forts and your
application, and to extend the hope For fiivorable action by EPA.
Please [et me know the results of the EPA review process.
With best wishes and kind regards,

City of Bremerton Seeks Public Comment on Grant Application Regarding
Brownfield Sites on Downtown Waterfront in Bremerton, Washington
City of Bremerton vying for federal brownfields clean-up grant, public invited to submit comments March 10-14
The City of Bremerton and Kitsap Transit Authority are seeking public comments on the city's pending application
to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for a Brownfields grant that could secure up to $600,000 for
cleaning up brownfield sites located in Bremertun, Washington and Kitsap County with known environmental
problems. Brownfields are properties where expansion, redevelopment or reuse may be complicated by the presence
or potential presence of a contaminant, pollutant or hazardous substance.
The grunt would allow Bremerton to clean up three sites it now owns (located on the waterfront) known to contain
petroleum contamination in the subsurface or surface. The extent of known contamination on the sites was
determined to be petroleum and oil origin und are now unoccupied vacant tots. Each of these sites is in an
economically distressed Washington community interested in redeveloping the sites to stimulate new economic
development. One of the sites proposed for clean up under the grunt was a former gas station located at 100
Washington Avenue. Proposed site cleun-ups would occur on the Washington waterfront at the proposed Conference
Center Complex (see details below). The City of Bremertun in conjunction with EPA's Office of Brownfields
Cleanup and Development would administer the grant. Site clean-up activities for each locale will be performed by
city staff' or sub-contracted to their environmental contractors.
Funding for the EPA Brownfields Assessment grant is divided into two categories: petroleum-only sites and
hazardous substance sites, with a maximum of $200,000 available for each category. The City of Bremerton has
applied for up to $600,000 to perform clean-up activities at three sites with known petroleum-only contamination.
Anticipated costs for petroleum-unly site clean-up range from $100,000 to $200,000, depending on specific site
conditions.
The City of Bremerton is seeking comments from communities and the general public about their grant proposal.
Comments will be accepted from Monday, March 10 through 5 p.m. Friday, March 14. The City of Bremerton's
complete grant application will be available for public review at its regular general council meeting on Wednesday,
March 12 or by contacting Gary Sexton, brownfields coordinator for the City of Bremerton, at (360) 478-5282.
Interested persons may submit comments on City of Bremertun's application proposal to Sexton by fax (360) 479-
0427, e-mail (gsextun@ci.bremerton. wa.us), or by mailing to City of Bremerton Economic Development Director,
239 4th Street, Bremerton, WA 98337.
The City of Bremerton submitted its initial grant proposal along with about 1,000 other government and non-profit
entities in December 2002 and is now one of 500 fmaiists entering the second phase of the grant application process.
As part of Phase II of the application process, they are gathering public comments on the proposal. EPA is expected
to announce the brownfields grants in June 2003.
Proposed site cleun-ups:
· Former Gas Station Site, former Enetai Bldg, JO0 Washington This parcel is south of the original Enetai
building. After it was no longer used as a gas station, the building was adjoined with the Enetai building
and had a variety of commercial uses until demolished in 2002.
· Fortner Enetei Building, Kitsap Transit, Bremerton navy Museum, 104 Washington.
The building was demolished in 2002. It operated as a car dealership in the 1920s. Various retail and
office-type businesses occupied the building over the last 80 years.
· Former LumberYard, Salvation ,~lrmy Store, 132 }Fashington. The site is a former lumberyard. During
demolition, a small substandard underground heating-oil storage tank was removed as required by state and
federal law. A preliminary site investigation performed at the site did not identify any contamination issues.
However, prior to moving forward with redevelopment of the property, the subsurface beneath the tank
must be investigated.

4. SUMMARY STATEMENT AND REOUIREMENT FOR COUNCIL ACTION:
Attached is the contract proposal to purchase three (3) Fire Engines as outlined in the Bond issue. The City wishes to
purchase the Seagrave engines for the reasons listed in the attached Bremerton Fire Department Apparatus Specification
Committee minutes. In addition this purchase will continue our effort to standardize the fleet which results in increased
safety because the controls for each apparatus in our fleet will be the same. This will also create greater efficiency dudng
maintenance of the apparatus. The city has received an excellent price through an Intertocal Cooperative Agreement with
the City of Radcliff, Kentucky.
5. RECOMMENDATION:
Move to find that the findings and recommendation of the Fire Department Apparatus Specification Committee
(Attached) are an appropriate basis for acquisition of fire apparatus through another governmental agency; that this
agre.e?ent to purchase through an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Radcliff, Kentucky complies with the
provisions of BMC 2.76 and is therefore exempt from our standard requirement to purchase by bid call; and further,
that the Mayor is authorized to finalize and execute necessary documents to purchase three Engines from the
Seagrave Corporation, of Clintonvilie, Wisconsin subject to the approval of the City Attorney.

If the contract is not approved at this date a price increase of $6,000 per vehicle will go into effect. Additionally
the EPA regulations will force a redesign of the motor which will lower horsepower, increase maintenance
through higher heat operating temperatures, and more expensive special lubricants.
If the contract is not approved a higher cost of acquisition is expected. A longer period for delivery will also be
incurred. The vehicles have a 365 calendar day delivery period.

BREMERTON FIRE DEPARTMENT APPARATUS SPECIFICATION COMMITTEE
February 27, 2003
Dear Bremerton City Council:
After conducting a thorough evaluation of available fire service apparatus, the committee has
unanimously concluded that Seagrave is the preferred manufacture for our apparatus.
Over the last ten months the committee has conducted tours of local departments such as Whidbey
Island, Lynnwood, Kingston, Seattle and Tacoma. Through these tours we were able to evaluate the
products of the major fire apparatus manufactures. The committee has also visited a trade show in
Oregon and the Seagrave factory in Wisconsin.
Before the committee decided on a manufacture we took the following information under consideration
1) Experience: Seagrave has been in continuous business since 1881 and built thousands of
apparatus. They are a single source manufacture and have helped developed new fire apparatus
technology and incorporated it in to their vehicles.
2) Product Line: Seagrave has been building fire apparatus for the City of Bremerton since 1945. The
City has had a long-term relationship with this manufacture and now, with a local dealer in Kitsap
County, parts, service and warranty work will be done faster and more efficiently with less down time.
Seagrave is the exclusive fire apparatus manufacturer for the City of New York and The City of Los
Angles. They are the only manufacturer that can flow 1000gpm and still maintain a 500lbs tip Icad with
an aedal device. Additionally they received a commendation from then Mayor Guilliana for saving 39
firefighters lives at the World Trade Center due to the construction of their cabs on the Engines and
Aerials.
3) Meeting Standards: Seagrave meet all national and State requirements.
4) Testing: They perform a fatigue life analysis and test all structural components. They perform cab
crashworthiness testing and Icad testing for aerial devices which includes personnel Icad, equipment,
static waterway Icad and elevated monitor nozzle reaction loads. All welds on the ladders are UL
inspected.
5) Warranty: There is a life time warranty on the frame and water tank, a 20 year on the Aerial
structure, a 10 year on the cab and body and 1 year bumper to bumper.
We respectfully submit this request for your approval to purchase three 2003 Seagrave fire engines
and one 2003 Seagrave aerial device, all these apparatus will have the same interior features and
Controls, the same pump and pump panel which will make training much easier since all our personnel
have to operate this equipment. It will also allow us to purchase parts from only one manufacturer. Aisc
for yOur approval is an inter-local agreement with the City of Radcliff Kentucky for the Engines and we
recommend purchasing the aerial device by sole source for the above reasons.
Thank You for your time and consideration

CURRENT LAND USE STAFF REPORT
REGARDING:
12 February 2003
SUMMARY
1. Applicant: City of Bremerton
Department of Community Development
286 4th Street
Bremerton, WA 98337
2. Location: The text amendment would be applicable citywide.
3. Attachments: Notice of Application with intent to DNS, SEPA Checklist,
and Draft Ordinance.
4. Bremerton Municipal Code (BMC): Critical Lands Ordinance 21.22.240
5. Application: PL02-0063
BACKGROUND
The intent of the Extraordinary Hardship Test found in the wetlands section of the
Critical Lands Ordinance is to avoid denial of "all reasonable economic use" of a
property. The current ordinance is constructed such that an applicant must be
able to show that the property and their proposal to develop that property, meet
all seven of the criterion established in the test.
Currently the criteria include:
(a) The activity or use is a water-dependent project that requires wetland
access as an essential element of its function;
(b) There is no reasonable economic use or value with less impact on
the wetland or stream;
(c) There are no feasible on-site alternatives to the proposed activity or
use (e.g., reduction in density or use intensity, scope or size, change in timing,
Staff Report ,..... 1
Text Amendment to 21.22.240
phasing or implementation, layout revision or other site planning considerations)
that would allow reasonable economic use with less adverse impact;
(d) The proposed activity or use will be mitigated to the maximum extent
possible and result in minimum feasible alteration or impairment of functional
characteristics of the site, including contours, vegetation, fish and wildlife habitat,
groundwater, surface water and hydrological conditions;
(e) The proposed activity or use complies with all local, state, and federal
laws and will not jeopardize the continued existence of endangered, threatened,
sensitive or priority habitat or species; and
(f) The inability to derive reasonable economic use is not the result of
actions by the applicant in segregating or dividing the property in a way that
makes the property unable to be developed after the effective date of this
ordinance.
(g) Diminished value shall not be considered on extraordinary hardship.
The proposed text amendment would remove criterion (a) and incorporate
criterion (g) into the descriptive paragraph introducing the test.
The removal of criterion (a) is a result of the Department of Community
Development's belief that criterion (a) undermines the intent of the ordinance and
could potentially preclude "reasonable economic use" of some properties.
The remaining criteria establish a test that is strenuous and offers significant
protection to Bremerton's critical wetland areas. This text amendment should
impact very few Bremerton properties.
FINDINGS
1. Criterion (a) from the Extraordinary Hardship Test (21.22.240) potentially
undermines the intent of the test.
2. Criterion (g) from the Extraordinary Hardship Test (21.22.240) is a
directive statement and best fits into the introductory section of this
regulation as opposed to a criterion an applicant must address in a
wetland permitting process.
3. The remaining criteria establish a test that adequately responds to the
intent of the ordinance.
4. The Department of Community Development issued a DNS on 19
November 2002. No comments were received by any citizens or state
agencies indicating a need for further environmental review.
5. The Department of Community Development has notified all applicable
state agencies about this text amendment in accordance with RCW
36.70A.106.
6. No comments have been received from any Agency or interested party.
The time period for state comment has been exhausted.

Ordinance found in BMC 21.22.240 should be struck as a criterion and
inserted in the introductory, guiding paragraph of the same ordinance.
3. All other provisions of the Critical Lands Ordinance found in the Bremerton
Municipal Code pertaining to wetlands and development regulation and
limitation shall remain unchanged.
4. The Planning Commission recommends the attached draft ordinance to

a. PL02-0063 - To perform a text amendment to the Bremerton Municipal Code,
Section 21.22.240. The proposal will remove criterion "(a)" from the Extraordinary
Hardship Test located within the wetlands section of the Critical Lands Ordinance.
Ms. Ralph presented on this item. She explained that this is a relatively small text
amendment to the extraordinary hardship test of our critical area ordinance dealing
specifically with wetlands. The idea behind an extraordinary hardship test in the
Planning Commission Special Meeting November 12, 2002 Page I of 20
wetland section of that ordinance is - if someone has a legally established parcel and
the requirements of that section deny all reasonable economic use of the parcel, that if
they can meet this list of criteria - then they can do something on that parcel to
provide some economic use of the property. This is for us to avoid a regulatory
taking.
Currently there are seven different criteria in the extraordinary hardship test. It is our
departments position that the first of the criteria under-minds the overall intent of the
extraordinary hardship test. The last criterion isn't really a criterion at all, but more a
directive statement that should be included in the first paragraph, which is the
directive paragraph of the test.
So this text amendment simply removes the first criterion which states that "the
activity or use is a water dependent project that requires wetland access as an
essential element of its function." The more directive statement that we propose to
move to the introductory paragraph is "Diminished value shall not be considered on
extraordinary hardship."
Ms. Ralph said that was it and asked if the group had any questions.
Commissioner Coekburn asked why we are looking at this [making this change]?
Ms. Ralph answered that we are looking at this because we have an applicant who
has a parcel that is subject to the extraordinary hardship test. It's a complicated code
to get through until you actually get to the extraordinary hardship test. You have to
go through a number of different places before you "have to pass the extraordinary
hardship." At this point you must pass the extraordinary hardship before your project
can go forward. Part of what is required is a wetland delineation report, a specialist
being hired, going through the whole process. We did that and this applicant got to
this point in the process where he has to pass the extraordinary hardship test and as
we go through the criterion that make up the extraordinary hardship - this applicant
meets all that first criteria. Or could meet all, but the first criteria prohibits that
application. It just brought it to our attention. Not to say that this text amendment
shouldn't happen regardless - but that is what brought it to our attention.
Commissioner Cockburn asked that if we have a certain amount of wetlands, and
there is a limited supply - wouldn't we want to have those properties just developed
for something that was water-dependent? Not just a parking lot or something.
Ms. Ralph said that if you look at the other criteria it would still make it so that you
couldn't put a parking lot there. That is probably not the least intrusive thing you
could do on that parcel. Our question was - on this small parcel, what could possibly
be done that would be water dependent and you NEED a wetland for? This prompted
a short discussion about water-dependent uses and economic benefit.
Ms. Ralph stated that we are certainly not saying that we would encourage
development in a wetland or its associated buffer by removing this criterion. This in
NO WAY indicates that. We are saying that there is not a lot of water, wetland
dependent projects that you can do that provide economic gain. Most parcels in the
City are large enough that part of the parcel has upland property. So we would
Planrfing Commission Special Meeting November 12, 2002 Page 2 of 20
require that the house or proposed project be put in the uplm~d property. But for the
very rare occasion that we get an application where that is not possible - then the
extraordinary hardship test would kick in. It still has to go through all the different
regulations that are applicable in the overall critical area ordinance which include: no
net loss of wetland, mitigate on-site and off-site depending on what the proposal is
and what it will actually impact. All those things are still applicable, but this
extraordinary hardship test would be usable.
Commissioner Kosusko asked if there were any other questions (from the
commission). Seeing none, he asked if there were any comments from the public on
this item. Seeing none, he then closed the public comment portion of the hearing and
returned to discussion.
Commissioner Wood stated that this proposal makes sense, especially removing
criterion (g) because it is not really criterion. It seems pretty straight forward.
Commissioner Buckingham stated that he agrees. It does seem pretty straight
forward. He said that having criterion (a) as it was makes the test virtually impossible
to apply. He says that he can see how it could put us in a position of creating a
regulatory "taking." There is no point in having a test that no one can possibly meet.
Th/s seems like a reasonable thing to do.
Commissioner Cockburn stated that he wasn't sure that in the case of critical lands
that are wetlands - that we don't want to make it nearly impossible. And that if we
are going to do somettfing that takes this wetland and develops it that we do want to
make it as hard as possible. If it is truly a wetland that we do want to make it
something that is related to the wetlands. So we don't just have something that could
fit and have a better economic fit on some other property that isn't so critical.
Commissioner Kosusko asked if would be possible to retain this first element but
rewrite it. Instead of saying "water dependent project" it's doesn't have to be water
related, it just has to be something that is not detrimental. This prompted a lively
discussion.
Commissioner Dingfield said that it seems that people wanting to develop a piece of
property have to go through a number of other hoops before they get to this hoop.
She said that she doesn't have any fears about the critical wetlands being threatened
by taking that criterion off because the standards are pretty high. If they are impacted
and mitigation has to occur then you are still going to meet the intent of wetlands.
The properties and the intent are going to be protected.
Commissioner Nelson concurred. He said that his concern would be that people
wouldn't be able to develop on wetlands if it is determined to be that. Certainly this
test won't allow that to happen. It seems to be pretty straight forward as far as he is
concerned. The change in language seems to be appropriate. He said that he could
not visualize a water dependent project. This again prompted a short discussion of
what that would be - but no one could think of one that would provide economic
benefit.
Mr. Hugo asked Ms. Ralph if there were any examples in the text.
Plmming Commission Special Meeting November 12, 2002 Page 3 of 20
leo
Ms. Ralph said that there are no examples in the text. She said that she had done
some research with other municipalities and this criterion reads a lot like something
you would read in the Shoreline Master Program variance process. In that process
you can have water dependent uses, such as a marina or boat launch. She said that
she couldn't find any municipality that had anything even remotely like this. Aside
from conservancy places that have trails and such through wetlands - the only
examples of those are pretty large scale, high end wetlands, she could think of no
other water dependent uses requiring a wetland.
In the case of our applicant, we're talking about a tenth of an acre of wetland. It is a
very small site, very little is economically feasible. Even the idea of access, it is true
it could be a water dependent use but it wouldn't provide any economic benefit. No,
aside from a larger wetland or use as a nature reserve she hasn't found any examples.
Commissioner Coekburn asked if the entire tenth of an acre was a wetland.
Ms. Ralph answered, "Yes." In fact, more of the site is a wetland but a tenth of an
acre is the part that would be disturbed.
Commissioner Cockburn stated that some property that is a wetland never will be
developed. He then shared that he personally inherited one sixth of a farm along
Ebby Sloe. With the change in drainage for generations it had been dyke property. It
was allowed to be flooded and became a wetland. We couldn't keep it with its
original source and had to sell it to the city as a park. We just couldn't maintain
development on that property. It was a wetland - my grandfather destroyed the
wetland to put a farm on it. Some property is not developable.
Ms. Ralph responded by saying that there are parcels that will still not be
developable. Those properties will not pass the rest of the cr/teria. But this particular
parcel is next door to a single family home and is proposed to be a single family
home. There is possibility of only one other parcel in that area being developed
without being sub-divided and if the others were short platted or long platted we
would make the wetland protection a criteria. There are a lot of methods to protect
wetlands. This is the desperation measure. When it gets down to this one they can
either do nothing on a legally short platted lot or we allow them to do as little as
possible and seize some economic gain.
Commissioner Kosusko asked if there are provisions elsewhere for replacing a
wetland that is disturbed.
Ms. Ralph said that yes. We have a zero net loss policy, so that should still be the
case - whether they are increasing the value and function ora wetland on site or they
are doing off-site mitigation.
Mr. Hugo asked Ms. Ralph to talk briefly about what the wetlands report suggested
could be done - even though we don't like to focus on specific projects as we are
proposing legislative changes.
Planning Commission Special Meeting November 12, 2002 Page 4 of 20
Ms. Ralph explained that the case we're dealing with is an after-the-fact permitting
process. This applicant received a building permit from our office without indicating
on his original application that he was building on a wetland. So we started some
code enforcement. She went out and walked around and it is definitely a wetland.
We sat down with this applicant, and she has talked extensively with his wetland
specialist. The specialist has done a lot to reconnect the hydrology of this parcel. It
is across the street from the park at Kitsap Lake. It is a very difficult scenario. She
said that when she first saw it she could not have guessed that it was a type one
wetland.
There are four different qualities of wetland and this one is the top of those
classifications. It is a type one wetland because it used to be forested. It also has
been disturbed already because of what the neighbors have done to it. So this wetland
report and some of the mitigations that will be required if we give him the wetland
permit would be: reconnecting the hydrology; putting notice to the title so that it will
be a permanent deed restrictions and always be a wetland and its associated buffers;
and some suggestions of near off-site things that could potentially be done. The
report was quite extensive. We are talking to the Department o£Fisheries and Tr/bes
about different things that can be done to mitigate this site.
The applicant is a relatively young contractor and has had no experience with
wetlands before and getting a dramatic crash course. The Army Corp of Engineers
has permitted the filling of this tenth of an acre requiting some low impact
development things for reducing the impervious surface and footprint of the house.
A motion was made by Commissioner Buckingham and seconded by
Commissioner Kennedy to recommend to the City Council for approval of text
amendment PL02-0063. Called for a vote: Buckingham: yes; Cockburn: no;
Dingfield: yes; Kennedy: yes; Nelson: yes; Wood: yes; and Kosusko: yes. Motion
carries.
b. Draft Ordinance - Shoreline Master Program Amendments - Proposed
Ordinance which would amend Chapters 3, 4, and 5 of the City of Bremerton
Shoreline Master Program relating to downtown waterfront site development
standards regarding shoreline setbacks, view corridors, and height restrictions in the
Downtown District.
Mr. Itugo presented on this draft ordinance. He started with a brief history of
downtown regulation changes. Beginning in late summer 2000 the City started
looking at new downtown policies and regulations, which the Planning Commission
was a part of since last year we were engaged in the 2001 Comprehensive Plan
revisions. That package included the downtown development policies and the
proposed downtown regulations. The policies and regulations were broken apart mid-
year 2001 and the regulations were set aside. The policies went forward and were
accompanied by Peter Calthorp's work - policies and Illustrative Plan, which was
adopted by Council last November or December. The regulations have been sitting
there every since. As we begin looking at adopting the regulations recommended by
the Planning Commission, we discovered some linkages - the zoning references to
the shoreline environment in the downtown waterfront district went all the way back
to the DWURP (Downtown Waterfront Urban Renewal Plan). The DWURP was
