COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS
Mr. Colvin stated over the next few weeks he would be expressing his thoughts
and views about his tenure with the City and his service to the public. His work
on the City Council been a pleasure and he has greatly enjoyed working with the
City employees and the public as a whole. He was pleased that he has a good
working relationship with each of his fellow Council members. He is just as
TAPE #1508

human as anyone is and any mistakes that he has made can be attributed to his
own ignorance. In conclusion, he thanked everyone who attended the District #1
reception that was held in his and Hazel's honor. He was still overwhelmed
about the honors that have been bestowed upon him and the fact his wife kept it
a secret from him.
Mr. McConnell thanked Bremerton Kitsap Access Television for broadcasting
City Council meetings at 5:30 P.M. on Thursdays. Now that the General election
is long over, he hoped that any remaining political signs would be removed.
Mr. Law again reminded everyone that District #3's next Neighborhood meeting
will be held on January 20, 1998. He displayed an advertising flyer that came to
his residence from Local Focus Inc. He checked with the City's Licensing
Department and learned as of this date that company did not have a City
Business License. He cautioned the public to not become alarmed when
receiving an advertisement printed on "red' paper since it does not always mean
something official, such as this advertising flyer. He urged the public to contact
the City's Tax and License Department if they have questions about a specific
business solicitation.
Mr. Overson stated it is beginning to look like Christmas around the community
and downtown is looking bright with various activities going on. He also
reminded everyone that this is National Anti-substance Abuse Month and hoped
the public would pay attention, particularly if they are driving a vehicle.
Mr. Neville stated in response to the formal complaint filed by Susan Brown that
involved two City Council members, he received three different legal opinions on
that issue and all of them came to the same conclusion that there was no
violation of the Bremerton Code of Ethics whatsoever. Prior to the Council
meeting, he met with the Council, excluding the two Council members named in
the complaint, and asked if they thought there was any need or any possible
violation issue. The Council's response was there was no need or violation.
Therefore, the matter has reached a conclusion and Mrs. Brown is thanked for
her diligence and willingness to see that everything is above board and
conducted properly.
Mrs. Huff-Menees stated the events this past week honoring Councilman Colvin
and his wife were no less than they deserved. The Colvin's have set a standard
for others to strive to achieve and served this City remarkably well.
Mr. Montqomery announced Districts #6, #7 and ¢f~ will hold a joint
Neighborhood Meeting on December 16, 1997, 7:00 P.M., at the Bremerton
School District Office located on Marion Avenue. The discussion will include
streets in the Kitsap Way area.

Mr. Winters announced this would be his last Council meeting. On January 22,
1997, he sold a property (his residence in District #9) on an owner contract and
that person was to live up to that contract. At that time, he went to the City
Attorney as well as sending letters to the City's Department Heads stating that he
wished to remain on Council for the last year of his term, but questioned what
was required for him to be legal as far as his residence requirement. In order to
reside within his District, he had to rent an apartment within that Distdct to remain
legal. As of November 1, 1997, he discontinued renting the apartment; therefore,
he may possibly be illegally serving on Council at this time. He did not want to
bring any negative tones to the Council that could be the basis for someone to
have a Council decision overturned. He believes in the last 3.9 years that he has
served to the best of his ability in everything he could to follow and remain on
Council by attending more meetings than a few others on Council. He believes
as a Council member it is important to reside and do the best one can for the
constituents you represent and the District you are elected to represent. Tonight
he asked the Council members to let him know their opinion on his residence
issue and they responded, in majority, that the right thing for him to decide was to
resign tonight. He will do that with some regrets, most of all he has been thankful
he was able to serve, had an opportunity to meet a lot of people, attended
seminars/workshops, and to be part of the decision process. He sees the future
of Bremerton as being a tough one and he wishes the best to next Council
person of District #9, Jim Reed. With three weeks remaining he did not want to
create a problem for the other Council members, within the legal system, or his
family; therefore, he resigned his position.
Mr. Winters stepped down and left the Council Chambers at 5:52 P.M.
PUBLIC RECOGNITION
Gordy Byrd stated he appreciated the earlier comment relating to no ddnking
and driving during the holidays. He noted Councilman Colvin has touched so
many people's lives and deserves the recognition he is receiving for his service
to the community. He enjoyed participating in the Special People's Boat Cruise
on December 7, which was hosted by the Bremerton yacht Club.
Shannon Bell announced the Harrison Hospital Auxiliary will hold a Blood Drive
on December 15, 1997, 11:00 A.M. - 1:00 P.M., and 1:45 P.M. - 5:00 P.M., in
the Harrison Hospital Auditorium.
Carol Atkinson, Bremerton Main Street Association, reported approximately
1,000 people turned out for Santa's arrival downtown on December 9 and 400
children had their pictures taken with Santa. This event was an opportunity to
give something back to the community. She thanked all of the different
organization that decorated windows and opened businesses for this event. On
the issue of allocation of the Hotel/Motel Tax fund, it was her understanding that
the first reading of the 1998 Budget did not include Fund 104 (Hotel/Motel Tax),
TAPE #1508 ~
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
December 10, 1997
Page 4 of 14
since allocation of those funds was tabled to be further studied during a Study
Session. Paula Johnston explained the motion to approve the 1998 Budget
Ordinance, on first reading, included Fund 104 with the actual allocation of those
funds to be approved at second reading of the ordinance on December 17.
Roy Mclnni.s., Bremerton resident, stated he promised Mr. Colvin that he would
contribute to the beautification project at the north end of the Warren Avenue
Bridge and he wanted to make good on that promise before traveling to
Louisiana for the Christmas holidays.
Bob Jaenick, Bremerton resident, stated .h_e believed if Randy Witt, City
Engineer, lived in the City of Bremerton he would do a better job of traffic control.
He was not pleased over Mayor Horton's remarks, which were reported in the
newspaper, addressing "crummy" voters in Bremerton. He is one of those
"crummy" voters who lives in west Bremerton and voted for Rod Johnson for
Mayor. He pointed out Mayor Horton did not win the recent election by a "land
side", she won by the true crummy voters who are out of town half of the year
and write in letters from Arizona without having a clue what is happening in
Bremerton.
Susan Brown, Bremerton resident, stated now that the issue of her complaint
had been responded to she was ready to work to rewrite the City's Code of
Ethics, which she views as very inadequate. Her primary concem is that the
City's commissions need to be autonomous. Giving anything of value alters the
dynamics of objectivity and impartiality that is essential for their operations. She
continues asking members of the public their opinion on this issue and no one
has told her that the behavior she described was appropriate. Anyone wishing to
contact her may do so by calling 377-2065.
Charlie Brown, Bremerton Resident, announced he learned through a public
radio station that the Navy would be holding a "free" Open House aboard the
Missouri over three weekends in January. Admission tickets will be required and
can be obtained through the Navy's Seattle Public Affairs Office. He felt
someone within City government should contact the Admiral in charge to make
sure Bremerton residents have an opportunity to get tickets.
8A - INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT
LABORATORY
SERVICESIBREMERTON-KITSAP COUNTY HEALTH DISTRICT, #AB97-256
Bremerton is required by the Washington Department of Health to sample the
water system to ensure safe water quality, The Bremerton-Kitsap County Health
District is the closest laboratory approved to perform these analyses and has
been provided satisfactory service to the City for many years. This intedocal
agreement sets up a formal procedure for providing this service.
TAPE #1508 ....

Pag¢5 of 14
Kathleen Cahall, Water Resources Manager, stated the City has been doing
business with the Bremerton-Kitsap County Health District for many years. That
agency is certified to provide bacteriological analysis for water sampling and one
of' two labs certified within Kitsap County to conduct such work. Because of the
contract amount of $19,000, it was determined that a more formal procedure
would be appropriate.
Bob Jaenike, Bremerton resident, asked if he understood correctly that the City
would be paying the Health District $19,000 for the service provided. Ms. Cahall
explained the approximate cost of $19,000 will be paid from revenue generated
through Utility rates. Mr. Jaenike asked if this would be another addition to
Bremerton residents' water/sewer bills? Ms:-Cahall further explained State and
Federal law require safe drinking water. This particular testing procedure is
budgeted annually and included in the cost of the drinking water. She pointed
out the City has some of the lowest drinking water rates in the entire state and
one of the ways to keep those rates Iow was by providing good quality water and
making sure things are working correctly.
President Farr stated he would abstain from voting on this issue because he
serves on the Health District Board of Directors and participated in setting the
rates for the testing fees. He turned over the meeting to Council Vice President
Richard Neville.
Mrs. Huff-Menees stated she would abstain from voting on this issue because
she also serves on the Health District Board of Directors.
Mr. Colvin questioned if he understood correctly that this proposal would not
increase the resident's water bills? Ms. Cahall stated Mr. Colvin was correct.
Mr. Overson pointed out all public water systems having four or more customers
are required to perform this same testing.
#1032 MISICIU (Montgomery/Overson) Motion to approve the Interlocal
Agreement with Bremerton-Kitsap County Health District and authorize the
Mayor to sign the agreement, subject to City Administrative Policies and
Procedures.
President Farr resumed chairing the Council meeting.
8B - PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT - TECHNICAL SYSTEMS
INC., FOR VVTER SYSTEM SUPERVISORY CONTROL & DATA
ACQUISITION, #AB97-257
In 1992, the City began upgrading the system that water operators use to control
the valves, pumps, alarms, and other critical components of the drinking water
system. This project completes this upgrade, which replaces old and outdated
TAPE#1508
City Coun~lRegMtgMinutes

Page 6of14
control equipment with computerized components and converts electronic signal
transmission from telephone to radio, which will provide reliability and provide
long-term cost savings. Upgrading the SCADA system will provide the strictest
control of water quality and quantity. The project is recommended to be sole-
source to Technical Systems, Inc., the company that has designed and
constructed all previous SCADA upgrades for the City. The total cost of the
project is not to exceed $371,204 and will take approximately 2 % years to
complete.
Kathleen Cahall, Water Resources Manager, briefly reviewed the process for
monitoring instruments, pumps, flow, etc., by remote control. She provided
photographs showing the old style telemetry,' Which was a tone system. Although
that system worked consistently, it was limited in its controlled and data
management ability and operator interface. Because it was a system of the
1970's, the City is having difficulty in obtaining spare parts to maintain the
system. The city began the upgrade of the telemetry system in 1992 and the
proposed project is the final phase of that upgrade. The first phase put the
surface water system on the new telemetry SCADA System. The final phase will
put all well systems and reservoirs on the SCADA System. The new system is
much more compact and fits on a Pentium computer. A major improvement
included in this project, at a cost of approximately $120,000, is the conversion of
the electronic signal from telephone to radio telemetry. There are many
advantages to radio telemetry, i.e. improved reliability, maintenance of equipment
in-house and most important to customers it will decrease the City's cost by $17-
19,000 annually, which is the current cost for telephone service for this function.
Public comment - none.
Mr. Law asked if the City would pay for the project as it is being developed or
initially? Ms. Cahall stated the City will pay as the various stages are completed.
Mr. MontRomery questioned if a backup system will be in place to keep the
radios on line at all times? Ms. Cahall stated yes; however, the city has had very
few problems with the telephone system, but when there is a communication
failure because of the system the Department has to rely on the telephone
company to make repairs.
Mr. Colvin questioned if the savings in telephone costs had been estimated?
Ms. Cahall stated the estimated cost saving is $20,000 per year over the 4-5
year completion period. At this time, she did not know what cost increases the
telephone company may implement during in future years.
#'1339 MISICIU (Neville/Montgomery) Motion to approve the Professional
Services Agreement with Technical Systems, Inc., and authorize the Mayor to
sign the agreement, subject to the City Administrative Policies and Procedures.

9A - RESOLUTION #2637 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
DRAFT ACCESS REPORT APPROVAL~ #AB97-258
The SR304 Transportation Improvement Project will change where and how
vehicles access the highway. To effect the change in access control on SR304
from the SR3/304 interchange to the intersection of 1= Street and Callow
Avenue, a formal Access Hearing must be held. Pdor to having this headng, the
City must approve the Draft Access Report that is the foundation for presentation
and discussion at the Access Hearing. The attached drawing provides an
overview of the access changes. The report is available for review at the City
Council and Engineering Division Offices. This item was discussed at the City
Council Study Session of December 1, 1997.-
Staff recommends approval of the report with a modification that will allow a right
turn movement from southbound Callow Avenue to westbound First Street for
consideration at the Access Hearing by passage of the attached Resolution.
Randy Witt, City Engineer, explained approximately two years ago the City
Council approved an Environmental Impact Statement for this project.
Approximately one year later the City received approval of the Record of
Decision from the Federal Highway Administration. In that time period a Valued
Engineering review was conducted, which re-evaluated what to do with Burwell
Street. Since receiving the Record of Decision, the City is authorized to
commence design of the project. The City also received limited authorization to
implement right-of-way acquisition. Effort is underway on both of those tasks.
One of the items that shows up in the design of this project is a formal hearing
process, which is carried out by the State, for the changes in access on the
highway. A change in access on this project means: (1) we want a limited
access facility, i.e., no driveway or street connections except at certain locations
from the SR3/SR304 interchange to First Street along SR304. The exceptions to
that were Kitsap Transit's base access, Missouri Street Gate, and Farragut Street
Gate. Prior to the State's public hearing, the City must approve the Design
Report.
The Access Report is set up to follow exactly what is in the Environmental Impact
Statement. In the City's process of communicating with the community,
particularly through the Cambrian/Charleston Beach planning, staff heard from
the community that they wanted some access off of First Street. Discussions on
that issue ranged from installing a traffic signal to continuing what is approved
and dealing with crosswalks, etc. Staff recommendation at First Street is to
modify the report to allow turns into the neighborhood at First Street. Tums out
of that location are not recommended due to sight distance issues beyond the
curb. Staff is not recommending a traffic signal at that location for cost reasons
and it would set up left hand turn movements from the neighborhood, which is
the issue people tried to address.
TAPE #1508
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
December 10, 1997
Page 8 of 14
Elizabeth Buell, Bremerton resident, questioned what kind of access would be
acceptable from First Street onto Callow Avenue. Mr. Witt stated vehicles could
turn right onto First Street and right turn only when exiting First Street.
Bob Jaenick, Bremerton resident, questioned why Kitsap Transit would be
allowed to access their property from the roadway when residents will be
restricted. In his opinions, buses move much lower than smaller vehicles. Mr.
Witt explained bus access would be through Kitsap Transit's maintenance
garage. The bus storage area will be accessed either from Callow and First
Street or at the Farragut Gate signal. _
Mr. McConnell questioned if Rogers Street will be open or closed? Mr. Witt
stated two things on the project will affect Rogers Street: (1) the plan identifies a
slip ramp for people wanting to turn right into the neighborhood off of Rogers
Street. That proposal was largely driven by the angle of the Farragut Street
intersection. (2) Anyone coming from the other direction or straight across will
have to use Farragut Street.
Mr. Overson stated it was his hope that the issue of impact on neighborhoods
will be given attention during the State's public hearing. Mr. Witt stated the
appropriate time to discuss that issue will be at the State hearing.
Mrs. Huff-Menees stated she appreciated the modification allowing the right turn
onto Callow from First Street; however, she believes there will be a need to re-
address the impact to both Rogers Street and Cambrian Avenue since there are
no improvements planned for those streets.
Mr. Colvin questioned for clarification if Kitsap Transit would have any
advantages over ordinary drivers? Mr. Witt stated no, as it relates to what is
being discussed at this time. This project will have HOV lanes, which give priority
to buses. Mr. Colvin stated it was his understanding that the plan is not so
etched in concrete and necessary changes could be made. Mr. Wi~ stated he
believed the modification made at First Street is recognition that there is some
flexibility; however, he did not want to give the idea that flexibility is "wide open."
He re-emphasized what is being proposed is to implement what is in the
Environmental Impact Statement.

Hearing.
9B - RESOLUTION #2638 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
PARKING ON BURWELL STREET
TAPE #1508
City Council Reg. Mtg IVranutes
December 10, 1997
Page 9 of 14
When the City Council selected the preferred alternative from the SR304
Transportation Improvement Project it included providing three lanes of traffic on
Burwell Street. At that time staff was directed to evaluate methods to address
the replacement of the lost on-street parking removed along Burwell Street from
Hewitt Avenue to Chester Avenue. A sedes of neighborhood meetings were held
to develop a recommendation, which was then reviewed by SWDOT and FHWA
staff. All property owners and residents were notified of the neighborhood
meetings. The recommendation is generally to provide up to two asphalt parking
spaces per unit off of the alley for those properties that front on the south side of
Burwell Street from Hewitt Avenue to Chester Avenue, which do not currently
have two improved spaces per unit. The report summarizing the neighborhood
meetings and a Resolution detailing the recommendation are attached. This item
was discussed at the Study Session of December 1, 1997. All the people who
attended the neighborhood meetings were notified of the Study Session and this
Council meeting.
Staff recommends passage of the attached Resolution addressing the parking on
Burwell Street in conjunction with the SR304Transportation Improvement Project.
Randy Witt, City Engineer, stated when the City passed the Resolution to
provide three traffic lanes on Burwell Street one of the issues was how to
address parking that would be removed and could parking needs be mitigated. It
was known at that time, which was unusual from past history, that the Federal
Highway Administration and the State considered addressing the parking that
would be removed as an eligible cost. A year ago when this issue was being
discussed, the main idea was to provide a parking lot in the neighborhoods on
the same side where the parking was removed. With that kind of vision,
meetings were set up with residents on Burwell on a block-by-block basis to
discuss various options and to get input from those affected by such a change.
The blocks affected were from Hewitt to Chester Street. McClure Research was
hired to facilitate the meetings with the residents, which in his view worked well.
From the meetings with the residents came the opinion that locating parking lots
within the neighborhood was not a good idea based on issues of safety, distance
from residences, and impact on abutting properties. Following investigation by
staff into how many parking spaces are already available, it was recommended
that 2-spaces per unit be designated. If those spaces already exist on a
property, then nothing more will need to be done; however, if not then the project
will fund installing two asphalt parking spaces either on the owners' property, if
space is available, or along the alley. He emphasized this program is voluntary.
Properties that do not have sufficient space for two on-site parking spaces off the
alley will not have additional beyond that. Properties that front on the south side
of Burwell Street from Hewitt Avenue to Chester Avenue and do not have access
to on-site parking may develop mutually acceptable and appropriate alternative
asphalt parking space placement. Existing dirt or gravel parking areas may be
paved under this program; existing paved areas will not be improved. ^ question
TAPE #1508
City Council R~g~ Mtg. lViinut~
Dcccmb~ 10, 1997
Page 10 of 14
was raised whether or not the project would fund the building of a garage. The
Federal Highway Administration stated such a project could be funded at the
same level as paving two asphalt-parking spaces with the funding being released
after the garage structure was built. Lastly, this program terminates one year
after the date of award of the construction contract for Burwell Street.
Daniel Waldbilli.q, Seabeck resident and owner of a property on Burwell Street,
stated the preferred altemative in the Environmental Impact Statement (ELS) is to
use Burwell Street with no parking allowed. In accordance with the ElS
The reasonfor the expanded highway is due to a population increase in the City
of Bremerton. Various statistics have been cited__ that would justify the change to
the Burwell corridor; however, he challenges those figures and seriously doubts
that over the next 20 years Bremerton will see an increase in population of
52.4%. He also doubted the traffic count figures of 10,000 vehicles using Burwell
and Sixth Street daily and 23,000 vehicles traveling in and out the shipyard's
gates. He also challenged the number of employees (15,128) cited to work in the
Central Business District and that does not include PSNS employees. He quoted
the following from the December 1, 1997, Study Session: "a traffic light at this
intersection (first and Callow) would force traffic to stop, see advertisements in
the store windows and would be good for business. A stoplight would be ideal
because you have businesses on both sides of the street. We are worried about
parking on Burwell for some of these renters, but we are not protecting our
businesses down here." Mr. Waldbillig emphasized the Council has some
concerns about the businesses in the Callow area, but in the ElS there was a
proposal that was put forth by the Charleston Business District, Paul Hoskins &
Associations to route traffic down Callow and onto Montgomery and down Sixth
Street. This would put traffic past over 16 businesses. Even though that
proposal was supported by most of the business along 6th Street, it was
determined to run the traffic down Burwell traveling through a residential area. A
consequence in the ElS if this project is not built is the resultant delays in travel
through the intersections and roadways may encourage drivers to seek
alternative routes. The alternate routes could mean traveling through residential
neighborhoods where safety, noise and air pollution are a major concern and
local residential areas would degenerate if traffic increases through those areas.
He feels that their Council representative is not representing the residents of the
affected area within District #5. It concerned him that Council members made
negative statements about the needs of renters or those living along Burwell
Street. He personally could care less about how the Navy exists out of the
Montgomery Street gate. He questioned when someone gets killed at dangerous
intersections, who pays their estate? This type of behavior leads him to believe
that this Council is not the governing body that has the knowledge or wellbeing of
the residents of the City, as a whole, to make a decision that affects thousands of
lives and cost millions of dollars.

Mr. Witt explained the ElS cites as a preferred alternative having Burwell with
parking on both sides. Following approval of the ElS but prior to the Record of
Decision, the modification came about. He pointed out the Record of Decision is
the controlling document and the City went through a public hearing process to
approve that modification. Regarding traffic counts and projected population
statistics, he reminded everyone that the ElS and pdor discussions are looking
forward 20 years into the future.
Mr. Waldbilli.q pointed out THE SUN newspaper ran an article on December 9,
1997, which stated the fourth most dangerous street in Kitsap County is the area
on SR304 from South Cambrian Avenue to Rogers Street with a daily traffic total
of 30,489 vehicles. The ElS cites current traffic in that area as 30,489 daily on
Rodgers Street. The ElS states the no-build alternative on SR304 from
Cambrian to Rogers will have an astounding number of vehicles per day of
26,600 traveling along that route in 2020. He cautioned lets not build it if the
traffic count could be reduced by 4,000 vehicles per day. He pointed out there
are a lot of errors in the ElS.
Mr. McConnell questioned if the City will allow planting strip parking in the areas
that do not have on-site or alley parking spaces? Mr. Witt stated no. He noted
he did not believe Council has made a decision yet on how they want to address
the parking on planting strip issue. If that is an available option, then it can be
considered for a particular area. Residents that currently do not have on-site
parking, but space is available, could possibly have a driveway to their property
off of a side street. No consideration is being given to parking spaces on Burwell
to accommodate the residents on corner lots.
Mrs. Huff-Menees stated in all of the four years she has served on the City
Council and for nearly two years prior to that time, she has been involved with
this issue. She has never in all of her years in County and City government been
involved with a project that offered more opportunity for public input. The number
of public meetings taking place on every aspect of this project number in the
dozens. She has also never seen the City go to such lengths to try to address
the needs of the residents in a specific area that will be impacted by a highway
project. Those who have taken advantage of the opportunities to attend public
meetings and make their view known, have their view represented. The majority
of the residents, as stated by Mr. Witt, favor the proposal being presented at this
time. She took exception to the earlier comment that this Council should not be
making a decision on this issue considering the immense amount of time they
have spent studying this issue regardless of individual comments and opinions
that might have been made. She is comfortable with the work performed by staff
and the amount of time it has been studied by the City Council and she intends to
support that process.

Mr. Law .questioned why the realignment of Burwell Street, i.e., parking, is not
done on an incremental basis as the traffic volume increases? Mr. Witt stated
there are a series of improvements to be made on Burwell Street, such as
overlaying the street, bulb outs and landscaping on the south side, and from a
construction perspective that needs to happen all at once. The other sense is
that this is a benefit immediately that won't be fully utilized until later, but will
benefit the corridor.
TAPE #1509
~r. Overson stated he believed some of Mr. Waldbillig's
statements were accurate in tha~ the EIS contained some
questionable statements. He echoed Mrs. Huff-Menees comment
that the city has gone to great extent to provide a win-win
scenario. He personally supported the idea for a one-way
grid using Burwell and Sixth Street, but apparently that is
not an option. He anticipates at some point in time there
will be the need to eliminate parking on both sides of
Burwell.
Mr. Neville stated he did not support the one-way couplet concept based on the
fact that deterioration happens in a residential neighborhood where that takes
place. It was quite surprising to learn that the Federal government would help
out with replacement of parking, which has not been approached by the City in
previous projects. He pointed out automobiles do present an impact either by
traveling or parking in limited spaces, such as cities. In this instance, the citizens
in the affected area have given their input and they are receiving something in
return. It is the process working to its fullest extent and it does have his support.
Mr. Montgomery discounted the earlier comment that by doing nothing it will
reduce the number of vehicles by 400 daily. He also questioned the validity of
THE SUN's quoted traffic count in a recent newspaper article on the gateway
project. He does support one-way streets and has experienced them across the
United States. He reminded everyone that change is inevitable; therefore, he will
support the proposal as presented even though he was initially not in favor of
what was proposed.

regarding the SR304 Transportation Improvement Project; Parking on Burwell
Street.
9C - RESOLUTION 32639 REGARDING RECOVERY OF FEES FOR
REMOVAL OF VEGETATION ON THE LISTED PROPERTIES, #AB97-260
Ordinance #4584 declares that it is unlawful and a nuisance to allow, continue or
maintain grass and weeks exceeding twelve (12) inches in height, shrubs, brush,
vines or trees which constitute a fire hazard or provide a harborage for rats,

rodents or horticultural pests, or noxious and poisonous plants. The listed
properties ara currently in violation of the ordinance and pursuant to Section 9.14
of the Bremerton Municipal Code, Council is asked to approve the removal of the
nuisance vegetation on the property and collection of the costs incurred by
personal judgement against the owner and a lien against the property.
Judy Johnson, Department of Community Development, asked that the
following that items 2, 3, 4, 5, 11 and 15 be removed from the Weed Abatement
Listing. She noted many of the listed weed abatement issues have been on going
since July- August 1997.
Public comment - none.
Mr. McConnell questioned, under Item #1- 1914 6th Street, if it was originally
maintained as a hedge? Ms. Johnson stated she was not knowledgeable of the
site's history, but it appears it could have been a hedge at one point in time. Mr.
McConnell questioned, under Item #9-5962 Harlow Drive, if the maintenance
area included the City's right-of-way? Ms. Johnson stated yes.
Mr. Overson questioned the reason for eliminating some of the items from the
Weed Abatement Listing? MS. Johnson stated the items removed reflect the
fact that the property owners complied with the ordinance and as of this date the
properties have been cleaned up, except for Item #11-2433-39 Snyder Avenue,
which is being further researched regarding composting and the City's
requirements.
#0169 MISICIU (Montgomery/Colvin) Motion to pass Resolution #2639, ordering
that the nuisance vegetation on the properties identified by the attached listing
except those identified, be removed by the City with fees incurred collected as
reasonable abatement costs, which shall become a personal judgement against
the owner and a lien against the property.
10A - ORDINANCE (FIRST READING) AMENDING THE 1997 BUDGET,
#AB97-261
A number of actions have been taken by the City which need to be incorporated
into the budget in order for the document to remain an assurance projection of
City financial activity.
Rich Hanna, City Treasurer, stated based on the City Attorney's advice due to
their being personally affected by part of the Budget Adjustment two Council
members should step down from considering this proposal. Mr. Colvin stated
because he is affected by this action he will step down. Mr. McConnell stated
he was also affected by the proposal and would step down.
Mr. Colvin and Mr. McConnell. left the Council Chambers at 7:12 P.M.

Mr. Hanna pointed out this item deals with a vadety of different topics affecting
the 1997 Budget. He highlighted the following major items included in the
proposed ordinance: (1) Adjustment #27 - authorizing several changes to the
Wastewater budget including litigation and claim settlements, capital projects at
the Waster Treatment Plant and Callow Avenue CSO, capital funding from State
grants and loans, and the acquisition and rental of Zone 1 properties.
This item was previously acted upon by the City Council. (2) Adjustment #30 -
adjustment provides for the level of activity at the golf course in 1997, which has
been greater than anticipated. This item was also previously acted upon by the
City Council. (3) Adjustment #34 - adjust for_litigation expenses in excess of the
original estimate. This item was not previously approved by Council, but Council
has been brief in a number of Executive Sessions on the different issues of
litigation that have resulted in Professional Services costs for outside counsel. (4)
Adjustment #35 - adjusting budget to reflect changes related to assumption of
Bremerton Kitsap Access Television effective 8/1/97. Council previously acted
upon this issue. (5) Adjustment #97-38 - adjustment will provide expenditure
authority for the issue of the 1997 UTGO Refunding Bonds, which Council
approved by Ordinance.
Public comment - none.
#0999 MISICIU (Montgomery/Huff-Menees Motion to approve Ordinance, on first
reading, amending the 1997 Budget.

New Employees - A new employee's wage rate will be set at Step A of the wage scale except that a new
employee may have his or her wage rate set at a higher step based upon relevant years and type of prior paid
work experience. Placement of a new employee's wage rate at a step higher than A must be recommended by
the Human Resources Director and approved by the Mayor.
Advancement through Wage Rates- Advancement through the wage rates from Step A through the final rate
of the wage grade will occur upon completion of the prescribed number of months or year(s) of continuous
employment since the employee's last wage placement, provided, the City may withhold a step increase for
work performance that does not "Meet Expectations". A step increase can be withheld for a maximum of
twelve (t2) months, during which time the employee will receive monthly evaluations. The employee's
immediate supervisor will notify the employee in writing of expected failure to meet expectations at least thirty
(30) days prior to the due date of the work performance evaluation. If such notice is not provided the step
increase will not be withheld. The withholding of a step_increase will not change the employee's current step
date. In the event an employee is on approved leave of absence without pay, in excess of eighty (80)
consecutive hours, the employee's next wage rate advancement date will be extended by the actual number of
days the employee was absent on such leave.
Wage Rate upon Placement at New Wage Grade:
In the event an employee is moved from one classification to another classification which is at a lower wage
grade or, if an employee's classification is moved from one wage grade to a lower wage grade, the employee's
wage rate at the lower wage grade will be set at that step which is closest to, equal to, but not greater than the
wage rate he or she was receiving at the former wage grade. All time the employee had served at the former
step toward advancement to the next step of the former wage grade pursuant to B above will be used in
determining the time required to advance to the next step of the new wage grade.
In the event an employee is moved from one classification to another classification at a higher wage grade the
employee will receive at least the entry step of the new wage grade or a five (5%) salary increase, whichever is
greater; provided that no employee is thereby advanced above the "G" (or final) step of the higher wage rate.
The employee's advancement to the next step at the new wage grade will be based on the effective date of the
new wage grade.
Longevity Pay - Longevity pay will be applied to the base hourly pay rate of each employee for years of
completed continuous employment on the following basis:

4. SUMMARY STATEMENT AND REQUIREMENT FOR COUNCIL ACTION:
Upon completion of the 67-acre Oyster Bay Avenue Annexation earlier this year, some lands were
brought into the City with zoning which was inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The northern
portion of the annexation area was given temporary Iow-density residential zoning upon annexation, in
recognition of an existing neighborhood, and with the understanding that the City's Comprehensive
Plan called for a transition to commercial, when appropriate. The area has changed considerably
since its annexation and this rezone is now appropriate.
Following its public hearing on July 15, the Planning Commission considered the Rezone proposal and
recommended City Council approval of the "CB (General Business)" zone, which is consistent with the
current Comprehensive Plan designation.

2. CLEARANCE COMMENTS:
5. IMPACT ON NON-PASSAGE:
Non-passage would have the following effects:
1. The present "SF-3" zoning would remain in effect, allowing the City to construct homes on the
now-vacant properties, which would be contrary to the objective of creating an odor impact
buffer by removing potential residential uses from this area.
2. The "SF-3" zoning will not allow the intended transition to commercial uses.
3. There would be no potential for a more efficient use of this land.
IMPACT ON STAFFING, BUDGETS, FACILITIES, EQUIPMENT OR OTHER RESOURCES:
The effect of the proposed change should be minimal on City staff and budgets. Hopefully, the
change will result in new building permit activity on the site.

INTRODUCTION
In 1997, the City of Bremerton completed the Oyster Bay Avenue Annexation, which
included a sixty-seven acre area west of SR-3 and south of Werner Road, and in the
immediate vicinity of the City's sewage treatment plant. The annexation was guided by
the West Hills Area Plan, a pre-annexation neighborhood plan developed and adopted
by the City in February, 1990, as a master plan for streets, utilities, and land uses in the
West Hills area. The area covered in the West Hills Area Plan was annexed over a
period of seven years. With each annexation, the Comprehensive Plan designations
and zones that were recommended in that plan were applied to the annexed area.
The City's long-range intent for the northeast portion of the Oyster Bay Avenue
Annexation Area was reflected in the West Hills Plan. It shows a conversion from Iow-
density residential to high visibility freeway-frontage commercial. The Comprehensive
Plan designation is "C-G (General & Highway Commercial)". When the West Hills Plan
was adopted, the subject area was an older deteriorating neighborhood, impacted by
sewage treatment plant odors, freeway traffic, noise, etc. Rather than apply
commercial zoning, which would make all the homes nonconformities, the City applied
a Iow-density residential zone to provide for the short-term continuation of the
neighborhood. This was a phased zoning approach, consistent with BMC 21.02.110
(PHASING), which allowed the City to apply the SF-3 residential zone even though it is
not directly consistent with the Plan designation. Phasing allows the zoning to come
into consistency with the Plan gradually at a later time, when the time and conditions
are most appropriate.
Most of the land within the commercial portion of the annexation area has now been
acquired by the City of Bremerton for purposes of odor impact mitigation. The old
residential neighborhood no longer exists. The City has decided that the time has
come to complete the transition from residential to commercial by changing the zoning
to be directly consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Rezone ZMA97-0007: Page 1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
A. LOCATION:
The area proposed for this Rezone is west of SR-3, north of
the Bremerton sewage treatment plant, south of Werner
Road, and east of Cottman Avenue.
B. APPLICANT:
City of Bremerton --- Dept. of Community Development
Donald L. Pratt, Director
C. LAND:
The Rezone area is mostly hilly, steep along the west side
and flattening out along SR-3. It was originally platted and
developed as a residential neighborhood. The City of
Bremerton is the current owner of most of the area.
D. LAND USE:
The area is no longer a viable neighborhood. Nearly all the
structures east of Oyster Bay Avenue are vacant or have
been removed or demolished.
E. COMP. PLAN:
Upon annexation to the City in 1997, this area was
designated "C-G (General & Highway Commercial)".
F. SEPA:
On February 10, 1997, an Environmental Checklist was
prepared for both the comprehensive planning and zoning of
this area, in preparation for the annexation. The checklist
did not address the change from residential to commercial
and, therefore, a new checklist was prepared for this
application.
G. PROPOSAL:
Rezone this area from "SF-3 (Single-family Residential)" to
"GB (General Business)" to achieve Comprehensive
Plan/Zoning consistency.
CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL
The criteria for approval of Rezones is contained in the "Administration" section of
Bremerton Municipal Code, chapter 21.02.920(d). The following criteria are adequately
met for the approval of this Rezone:
Rezone ZMA97-0007: Page 2
7/
Criterion #1:
The rezone is substantively consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan designation is "C-G (General & Highway Commercial)".
The Primary Zoning Consistency table (Figure 090 of BMC 21.02) shows two
zones that are directly consistent with this Plan designation. The proposed "GB"
zone is one. The other is "SC (Shopping Center)". The City has determined that
this is not a suitable site for shopping center zoning.
Criterion #2:
The rezone is necessary because (a) conditions in the immediate vicinity have
changed markedly to require a rezone in the public interest; or (b) the Rezone
will correct an inappropriate zone classification or boundary.
The SF-3 zoning was originally applied to provide for the limited continuation of
the residential neighborhood. Conditions in the vicinity have changed markedly
during the past few years. The City has acquired most properties in the area,
most residential structures have been removed, and the area is ready for the
transition to commercial use. The SF-3 zoning, which was appropriate when
recommended in the West Hills Area Plan, is no longer appropriate.
Criterion #3:
The rezone will not result in adverse environmental consequences.
The proposed "GB" zoning will help mitigate former adverse consequences of
sewage treatment plant odor, freeway noise, etc.,, by preventing this area from
being rebuilt as a neighborhood for permanent residents. Instead, the new
zoning will encourage and allow the development of commercial uses that are
better suited to this location and will be more tolerant of its impacts.
Criterion #4:
The Rezone bears a substantial relation to the public interest because there is a
need for the changes and that need will be served.
There are multiple public needs for this change. First is the need to prevent the
future use of this area for residential purposes. Second is the economic needs
of the community for new sites for commercial and industrial development. Such
sites need to be properly located near major transportation routes (SR-3), where
they are highly visible, and where they can be provided with all needed public
services and facilities. The public interests will be served in terms of new
employment and shopping opportunities as well as the positive economic
benefits to the City's tax base.
Rezone ZMA97-0007: Page 3
Criterion #5:
Essential public facilities and services are presently available and adequate, or
can be reasonably made available,
A full range of urban public services are available to this area. The services
were adequate to support the previous residential development, but may have to
be upgraded or extended to serve higher intensity commercial uses. The
adequacy of those facilities and services will be assessed when a specific
development proposal is presented for consideration.
CONCLUSIONS
A. The proposed Rezone is consistent with the City's long-range intent for the
commercial development and use of this area, as first proposed in the West Hills
Area Plan and later in the City's GMA Comprehensive Plan.
B. The proposed rezone adequately meets all Rezone approval criteria.
C. Approval of this Rezone will achieve consistency between the Comprehensive
Plan and Zoning Map, as required by State law.
RECOMMENDATION
The Bremerton Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on this proposed
Zoning Map Amendment (rezone) on July 15, 1997 and, based on the findings and
conclusions stated above, hereby recommends City Council approval of a Rezone of
the subject area from "SF-3 (Residential, Low-density)" to "GB (General Business)", as
shown on the map attached hereto as Exhibit "A".

4. SUMMARY STATEMENT CONTINUED:
The City Council, in August 1997, found the issue of permitting docks/piers within
Oyster Bay Channel to have serious concerns adequate to institute a moratorium on
any dock/pier construction pending a review of the Shoreline Master Program.
The Planning Commission has completed their review of the pertinent portions of
the Master Program and has recommended that docks and piers be prohibited within
the Channel. This recommendation has been forwarded to the city Council. The
City Council must approve any requests for amendments to the Bremerton Shoreline
Master Program.
5. IMPACT OF NON-PASSAGE:
Docks and Piers will continue to be allowed in Oyster Bay Channel on a case-by-
case basis.
~i. IMPACT ON STAFFING, BUDGETS, FACILITIES. EQUIPMENT OR OTHER RESOURCES:
This Project is an unfunded effort which displaces work on other funded projects.

The matrix and illustrations which follow outline Master Program development
standards for various Environment and NaturaL System designations. These figures
are intended to supplement the Use/Activity requirements in subsequent chapters.
Table 3-2 Site Development Standards
The Site Development Standards matdx (Table 3-2) summarizes development
standards for structures located within each environment designation. The
intent of these requirements is to provide limited view protection for nearby
public and pdvate areas and to help protect the shoreline environment. (See
also: View Protection requirements, Chapter 4.)
Figure 3-3 View Corridor Examples
Figure 3-3 shows a "bird's eye" view of the Figure 3-3 View Corddor requirements as
applied to lots that are 40 - 90 feet wide.
Figure 3-4 View Corridor/Height Requirements
Figure 3-4 gives a cross-section example of the Figure 3-3 View Corridor and
Height requirements as applied to lots varying from 40 to 90 feet in width. (The
maximum heights correspond with Bremerton Zoning Ordinance height limits for
structures in the SF-1, SF-2 and SF-3 zones.)
SMP ENVIRONMENT DESIGNATIONS & REQUIREMENTS 3 - 6
Pre-existing Residential Lots: For residential lots existing at the time this
program is adopted (2/2/92): No more than one (1) pdvate, noncommercial
single-use dock is permitted per platted shoreline lot or unplatted shoreline tract
owned for residential or recreational purposes.
Multifamily/Commercial Developments: Multi-family residences, hotels, motels,
and other commercial developments proposing to provide moorage facilities
shall construct a single, joint-use moorage facility: PROVIDED, that the City
may authorize more than one joint use moorage facility if a single facility would
be inappropriate or undesirable given the specific conditions of the site.
Commercial/Industrial Developments: Permits for docks or piers serving single
commercial or industrial enterprises shall not be granted unless it is determined
that adjacent commercial and/or industrial enterprises are not willing to
cooperatively develop a joint-use facility.
Maintenance: Proposals for joint-use community piers and docks shall
demonstrate and document that adequate maintenance of the structure and
the associated upland area will be provided by identified responsible parties.
Piers and Docks
10.
Prohibited: Piers and floating docks shall be prohibited where navigation may
be impaired significantly at entrances to bays, channels, or coves. No piers or
floatin.q docks will be permitted in the channel between Ostrich and Oyster
Bay~.
11.
Location: Piers and docks shall project the minimum distance necessary to
service the appurtenant vessels and shall not create a hazard to navigation.
12.
Inside Harbor Areas: When State harbor lines have been designated, piers and
docks shall be located shoreward of the outer harbor line.
13.
Outside Harbor Areas: Where State harbor lines do not apply, piers and docks
shall project the minimum distance necessary to service the appurtenant
vessels and shall not create a hazard to navigation.
14. Size:
ao
Length: Maximum length of a residential pier or dock shall be the
minimum necessary to accomplish moorage for the intended boating
uses, and shall be only so long as to obtain a depth of five (5) feet of
water as measured at Mean Low Water (MLW) in madne shorelines or
as measured at Ordinary High Water (OHWM) in fresh water shorelines.
Height: Dock shall not exceed three (3) feet in height above OHWM on
the landward side, and shall extend above the water surface no more
than two (2) feet at all other locations.
SMP SHORELINE USE POLICIES AND REGULATIONS 5 - 31
RESOLUTION NO.
A Resolution Recommending Establishment of a
Special Shoreline Environment Designation to Apply to
the Channel Between Ostrich Bay and Oyster Bay
WHEREAS, the Bremerton City Council passed Resolution No. 2621 on August 6,
1997, creating a development moratorium on docks and piers within the Oyster Bay entrance
channel for a period of nine months; and
WHEREAS, the Bremerton Planning Commission, as directed, conducted a public
meeting on September 16, 1997, during which it received oral and written comments pertaining
to the areas subject to the moratorium; and
WHEREAS, careful and deliberate consideration of all presented and available
information relating to the moratorium issues of (1) Navigational hazards, (2) Aesthetic
Impacts, and (3) Environmental and Public Trust issues, led to the conclusion that, while
negative impacts initially were hard to define scientifically, they could be clearly defined and
were found to be potentially objectionable when viewed cumulatively. In view of the unique
topographic and singular nature of the waterfront environment within the Oyster Bay entrance
channel, the Commission concluded it would be impossible to find an equitable resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BREMERTON CITY
PLANNING COMMISSION:
Section 1. That Table 3-1, Page 3-21 of the Shoreline Master Program (SMP) be
rrected to correspond with the regulations contained in item 6, Page 5-19.
· ~;B Section 2. That a special SMP Environment Designation be established for the Oyster
ay entrance cham~el that will prohibit piers, docks and other,incompatible uses and activities
vhile allowing activities that are compatible with the channel s unique environment.

Director's Report
Donald Pratt presented the Commissioners with a report called "Regional Review"
which is published by the Puget Sound Regional Council. Reviewed the concepts
presented in the document. -
Actively involved with Kitsap County regarding their Growth Management Plan. Ron
Hough has had several conversations with County Planning Staff. The quality of the
discussions are much better that what has gone on over the past several years.
The Mayor will present her budget to the City Council next week. Difficult budget
year--revenue projections were short.
PAGE -1-
There are several Planning Commission Committees working-telecommunications,
Wheaton Way and Manette, etc. Would like to see some reports at the next meeting.
Suggested that prior to opening the Public Hearing would like to review the process for
changing the Bremerton Shoreline Master Program. This discussion could be under the
Study Session portion and then have the hearing at 6:15PM.
Chairman Stone indicated that would be fine.
Study Session
Donald Pratt stated that the Bremerton Shoreline-Master Program is not a local City
Ordinance, it is a statewide code that applies to all jurisdictions and is enforced and
administered by the State of Washington. However, they do request local governments to
come up with their own local programs and those local programs are adopted by the state
into the Washington Administrative Code. Locally we administer the code subject to
review of the State of Washington to ensure conformance with state law. To amend the
program, we adopt local resolutions detailing what we want to change. The resolution is
sent to Washington State and they go through their own review process soliciting
comments from various agencies, neighbors, etc. The comments are forwarded back to
the Cky of Bremerton and we are asked to respond to all comments received. Finally the
State will review all comments and adopt or reject with comments our local resolution.
The entire process takes approximately 5 months. Any resolution adopted tonight will be
attached to a state environmental checklist.
Public Hearing
Donald Pratt presented the staff report. This is a public hearing to accept comments
regarding a proposed Resolution to amend the City's Shoreline Master Plan in response
to a moratorium on docks and piers within a channel between Madrona Point and Marine
Drive. Presented a map of the area and reviewed the process to date as outlined in the
"Bremerton Planning Commission Moratorium Report". Reviewed two proposed draft
discussion resolutions; Docks and Piers Conditional Use Permit Resolution and Piers and
Docks Prohibition Resolution. The Prohibition Resolution has a conclusion that no docks
and piers will be allowed in the channel. The Conditional Use Permit Resolution requires
that a Conditional Use Permit be approved prior to the development of docks and piers in
the channel. Reviewed the current language in the Master Program.
Commissioner Dingfield requested an outline of the Conditional Use Permit Process.
Chairman Stone indicated that the two resolutions handed out were mislabeled and
should be reversed.
PAGE -2-
Donald Pratt reviewed the process and requirements for a Conditional Use Permit.
Chairman Stone outlined the decisions before the Commission and invited the public to
comment.
Gerry Perret, urged acceptance of the prohibition of piers in the channel.
Audience person asked Commissioner Stone to have the speakers identify themselves
along with the place of residence for the record. Commissioner Stone concurred.
Gerry ferret, Marine Drive resident.
Jim Reid, Madrona Point resident concerned about property use and value rights.
Would like to see a balanced compromise on the issue. Would like to see some
documented "proof" of some of the negative issues.
Viola Woliock, Madrona Point resident does not support docks in the channel.
David McClellan, Madrona Point resident supports docks and feels it is the property
owners right. Stated that most of the fish currently "hang out" around the floats and feels
that the fish will increase with piers.
Bernard Holland, Marine Drive resident, concerned about his property values as well.
Does not want any docks permitted in the channel. The channel belongs to everyone, not
just the residents along the channel.
Tim Oison, Rocky Point resident, against docks and piers in the channel. The channel is
unique and needs to be protected.
Robert LaFontaine, Marine Drive resident, against docks and piers in the channel.
Concerned with safety issues.
Suzanne Holland, Marine Drive resident, against docks and piers in the channel. Has
safety concerns and fears that if you allow one, others will come. All property owners
are restricted on what they can and can't do. Concerned with siltation.
Benita Reid, upset that no one has watched a video that her husband has. Many of the
docks would be "high and dry" during the summer when the tide is out and will not be a
hazard. Feels many neighbors have not been informed. The majority of the neighbors do
not want this passed. There must be a happy medium.
John Green, Marine Drive resident, read a letter into the record. Supports allowing
PAGE -3-
docks and piers in the channel. Frustrated with how this issue has affected the
neighborhood and feels that allowing docks would most likely improve home values.
Mary Gardner, Madrona Point resident, questioned why she had not received any
notices and wanted to know what the ownership issue is as for as the land is concerned?
Donald Pratt, stated that the City is not required to notify all individual homeowners and
that there have been notices in the paper and a small mailing was done. Feels that with
the crowd here tonight that the word has gotten out and there appears to be a good cross
of opinions. The issue of ownership varies parcel to parcel.
Bob Herdandez, Madrona Point resident, supports docks in the channel. Feels if you
own the property then you should have the right. People who do not live on Oyster Bay
should not be addressing this issue---they are not paying the taxes.
Kathy Gallagher, resident of Madrona Point, against docks in the channel. Concerned
with safety issues and possible pollution. The channel is unique and needs to be
protected. Placed into the record a document elaborating on what she had said.
Kathleen Wright, resident of Poulsbo, against docks in the channel. Feels the channel
belongs to everyone, not just the residents along the channel, Concerned about the future
of the channel, as well as safety issues. If the Commission does not prohibit docks now,
this issue will be going on for years to come.
John Green stated there is already a speed limit on the channel and should be enforced.
Who do you petition to enforce this?
Chairman Stone stated that the Seattle Police Department enforces the speed limit in the
Mountlake Cut.
Don ltoltz, resident on Madrona Point, supports docks and piers. Feels that if docks are
not allowed on waterfront, the value of the homes will decrease. Stated that from
Madrona Point he has 22 signatures from people who are approving 150-foot dock. The
majority is not here, only the minority. Whatever decision is made will only effect the
residents financially, not the rest of the community. One year ago the Planning
Commission approved 150-foot dock. Can't understand how we have gone from an
approval to possibly eliminating docks completely.
Viola Wollick stated her displeasure with Mr. Holtz and his actions.
Wayne Iverson resident of Madrona Point supports no docks in the channel. The
channel is the wrong place for a dock.
PAGE -4-
Maynard Hoffman, resident of S. Marine Drive. Tired of coming down here for all of
the heatings--the issue has gone on long enough. Supports no docks in the channel.
David McClellen, resident of Madrona Point. Doesn't care how long the issue goes on
as long as we do not loose any of our rights.
Donald Pratt read into the record the following:
Petition consisting of 22 pages, approximately 400 signatures, of Kitsap County residents
supporting no docks in the channel.
A letter from Wayne and Gerry Perret expressifig their thanks for the Planning
Commission efforts regarding this issue.
A letter from the Suquamish Tribe supporting no docks or piers in the channel.
Chairman Stone declared a ten-minute recess.
Chairman Stone called the meeting back to order.
Commissioner Dingfield thanked everyone for his or her patience and participation in
this process. Asked for clarification if both resolutions would be going to City Council
along with the Commissioner recommendation?
Chairman Stone responded that was not his understanding.
Commissioner Dingfield stated this has been an extremely difficult decision weighing
personal property rights with those of the community. Does not support docks and piers
in the channel. Has concerns with the environment and safety.
Commissioner Boyd stated her concerns with the Public Trust. Feels that because of the
narrowness of the channel it would interfere with navigation creating safety hazards.
Does not support docks and piers in the channel. We need to look to the future.
Commissioner Hancock stated he had safety concerns with the channel. Supports no
docks or piers in the channel. Feels if you allow one dock, more will come.
Consideration of others is important.
Commissioner Adams feels that State Fisheries isn't always as "balanced" as they
should be on issues when it comes to science versus the politics of an issue. Supports no
docks or piers in the channel. Docks are not very pleasing and could effect property
values.
PAGE -5-
Commissioner Olsen stated that there are rules and regulations that effect all property
owners. Feels a decision has to be made and will vote to prohibit docks and piers in the
channel.
Commissioner Robinson stated he was hoping to find a compromise on this issue and
has been unable to come up with one. Have concerns with all of the issues mentioned;
safety, environment, public trust, etc. All land use issues require balancing the public and
private sector. Does not support docks or piers in the channel.
Chairman Stone stated he is convinced that there are navigational hazards created by
docks in the channel. There are no exact answers to all of the issues addressed, scientific
or factual. Feels that docks in the channel would-have a major esthetic impact. Does not
support docks in the channel.
Commissioner Dingfield thanked Mrs. Waibel for the job she has done on the minutes,
stating they are representative of what has been said.

Old Business
Chairman Stone discussed the Planning Commissioners involvement in various projects.
Commissioner Dingfield stated she has begun on the Manette Study and that it is going
to be dependent on the Block Grant.
Donald Pratt stated they requested $42,000.00 and ended up with $10,000.00. The
study going forward is dependent on budget discussions this week.
PAGE -6-
Commissioner Robinson asked if there has been any input from the Mayor on
replacements on the Cornmission?
