COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS Mr. Waibel reminded everyone that this weekend is Armed Forces weekend, with activities going on Saturday and Sunday. TAPE #922 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 15, 1991 Page 2 of 24 Mr. Johnson welcomed back the USS Sacramento. He acknowledged the importance of the support given by the Sacramento during Desert Shield. He also welcomed back Councilman Overson. Mr. Colvin also welcomed Mr. Overson. He noted he would be out-of- town during the Armed Forces festivities, but was aware much was planned for this celebration. He commended the Utility Department for their recent effort in registering people who are receiving City Utility services. At first he did not understand why he would receive such a notice since he had lived at the same residence for 20 years and had always received his Water Bill on time. When he questioned this process, he learned that it was an attempt to identify land ownership as they are the ultimate responsible person for any outstanding water service bills. He attended, with Paul Zellinsky, a meeting at the Pinewood Manor Senior Center, at the request of Mayor Mentor and he believed the problem they were experiencing would be solved. Mr. Dawkins noted Mr. Estes mentioned the ceremonies on Friday at Ivy Green Cemetery in memory of Warspite. He related when the HMS Warspite came to Bremerton his family hosted a member of the Warspite crew. That crewman became quite a news item as he flew a plane under the Manette Bridge and got himself in a lot of trouble with several authorities. During the Warspite's stay in Bremerton, his family hosted many of the crew members. Mr. Collins stated the Armed Forces weekend'will be busy. He and Mayor Mentor attended the Navy's proposed programmatic graft of their Environmental Impact Statement, relating to the annexation of properties at the west end of the Shipyard. He read the article in "The Sun" and felt it reflected just about everything that was appropriate from that meeting. He reminded everyone on Sunday the Farmers' Market will be operating. Mrs. Morton stated she found the Farmers' Market to be very interesting and because of some excellent items available, she left some of her hard earned Council dollars there. On Sunday she visited Amy Burnett's new gallery. Many people were there as well and from what she head there were several hundred people in attendance at the gallery opening on Saturday night. She thanked the Kitsap County Commissioners for their generous donation to the Admiral Theater Foundation. She felt that coupled with Amy Burnett's gallery, the boardwalk, Farmers' Market it all makes the downtown come together and revitalization is coming along nicely. On a more sad note, this morning she drove by one of the City's parks facilities and noticed a display of graffiti. Although the graffiti was not gang related, it appeared it was done by some children who were imitating gang type activities. In speaking with TAPE #922 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 15, 1991 Page 3 of 24 Mayor Mentor and the Parks Department, she felt we needed to make every effort to try to prevent gang activities from getting a foothold in our community. One of the things that would be very helpful would be reporting from the community to the Parks Department or Police Department of any suspicious activities. She also would like to see a Town Meeting type forum held and information provided by other communities who had already gone through the gang activity process and who may know some of the things that worked in their communities that Bremerton could become proactive with that issue. PUBLIC RECOGNITION Mayor Mentor reported this past weekend he attended the Filipino Community's coronation of their "Miss Maria Clara" and on Sunday there was a dedication at NAD Park where the Soroptomist Club donated several thousand dollars for installation of playground equipment for handicap children. Mayor Mentor read a Proclamation proclaiming May 17, 1991, as HMS WARSPITE DAY in the City of Bremerton. Start Lawrence, representing the Warspite group from England, accepted the Proclamation and presented Mayor Mentor a plaque from the Mayor of Wirral, England. He thanked everyone for the warm welcome their group has received. He explained the man Mr. Dawkins referenced as having flown the plane under the Manette Bridge was Petty Officer Ross, who later became a Lt. CDR. Mr. Ross could not make the trip to Bremerton as he accompanied other members of the Warspite group to an anniversary celebration of the Battle of Crete. Mayor Mentor read a Proclamation proclaiming May 12-18, 1991, as ARMED FORCES WEEK. Mayor Mentor read a Proclamation proclaiming May 19 - 25, 1991, as NATIONAL PUBLIC WORKS WEEK. Dave Baker, City Engineer, accepted the Proclamation on behalf of the City Engineering Department and Public Works and expressed his appreciation for the recognition. · Mayor Mentor read a Proclamation proclaiming the month of MAY, 1991, as OLDER AMERICANS MONTH. Becky Lotbet accepted the proclamation and invited everyone to attend the 19th Annual Open House at the Senior Center on May 18, 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Mayor Mentor read a Proclamation proclaiming May 17, and 18, 1991, as POPPIES DAYS. This proclamation recognized the following veterans groups: American Legion Aux. Unit 68, American Legion Aux. Unit 149, VFW Post 3694, VFW Post 239, VFW Post 10924. Richard Chrisinger accepted the Proclamations on behalf of all the veterans organizations and encouraged everyone to donate to this TAPE #922 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 15, 1991 Page 4 of 24 worthwhile cause. Mayor Mentor introduced the following students, who were selected to participate in the 1991 Bremerton/Kure, Japan Sister City Program: Jennifer Carter, Sophomore/Bremerton High School; Joshua Gray, Sophomore/Central Kitsap High School; Deana Dual, Junior/Central Kitsap High School; Richard Marr, Junior/Olympic High School. Mayor Mentor announced the City will be hosting four Japanese students for one month this summer and host families are needed . Anyone interested in being a host family may call Elaine Valencia, 478-5266. Mayor Mentor sadly announced Ex-Mayor Whitey Domstad passed away on Tuesday, May 14. Whitey served as Mayor of Bremerton from 1955 - 1964. Vick Ulsch, Armed Forces Parade Chairman, invited everyone to the 43rd Annual Armed Forces Parade on Saturday, May 18, 10:00 AM. Kitsap Transit will provide shuttle service between Roosevelt Field and the down town area, starting at 8:25 AM. Also, an area has been reserved for handicap individuals and they may call 373-3516 to reserve seating. Bruce Fields, 207 South Lafayette, Director Of Armed Forces Festival Association, stated the Car Show had expanded with the addition of the Bremerton Central Lions Club as co-sponsors of the event. The Car Show will be held Sunday, May 19, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM. He invited Council members to act as Judges for the Car Show (Judging time: 2:00 - 3:30 P.M.). He thanked City staff and all the departments for their cooperation in making this annual event a success. Jack Lafcoski, Kitsap Lake, expressed concern about polluting of Kitsap Lake and the surrounding inlets by homes with septic tank sewer systems. He encouraged the City to undertake a 3-5-10 year program providing sewer services to those homes on the west side of Kitsap Lake that are causing the polluting problems. In regard to the Roosevelt Field issue, Mr. Lafcoski handed out copies of his idea as to how to resolve this issue. Don Larson, 135 Rainier Avenue, President Of Kitsap Diving Association, reported several individuals from Kitsap County were honored at the presentation of Environmental Excellence Awards by the State. He announced there will be a Low Tide 91 Event in Kitsap County on May 18. The fall Coastweeks is scheduled for September and is a State-wide event. TAPE #922 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 15, 1991 Page 5 of 24 Jim Adrian, 621 Washington Avenue, expressed concern about the difficult of getting financing for non-owner occupied homes/buildings. A week ago Mr. Earl Smith of the Economic Development Council of Kitsap County, spoke in the context of larger developments having difficulty obtaining financing. Mr. Adrian noted this was an absolutely critical problem for small investors like himself. What is happening is that FHA has now established rules that if he, as an investor, has more than three mortgages they will not loan him money for non-owner occupied. He noted Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac had adopted those same policies. Recently, he experienced a similar problem with the Metal Trades Credit Union. Lending institutions are tightening lending due to problems experienced in the southern part of the United States and because Bremerton is perceived as a "one industry town". Mr. Adrian reported Congressman Norm Dicks would be holding another Housing Conference where hopefully some of the decision makers responsible for making restrictive policies will be there to answer questions. Lastly, he felt it was inappropriate and unfair to the public to add on an Agenda Item that related to the Roosevelt Field property trade, which gave no public notice that it was to be heard. 6C - TO CONSIDER 10% NOTICE OF INTENT FORANNEXATION OF BLOCK #1 OF THE BREMERTON HEIGHTS PLAT, #AB91-128 The proposed annexation area submitted for your consideration is one block of the Bremerton Heights between Oyster Bay Avenue and Bremerton Boulevard. The area consists of 20 parcels and approximately 12 homes. The owners of 51% of the property in that area have given their consent to begin the process of annexation. The annexation process requires the council to meet and decide whether or not to (1) accept annexation of this area upon approval of a Petition (75%), and (2) whether the said Petition shall require annexed property to assume a proportional share of current City indebtedness; and (3) whether pre-annexation planning and zoning will be required or provisional zoning assigned under zoning ordinance Chapter II Sec. 3. Terrie Hartson, Municipal Services Coordinator, provided view graphs showing the proposed annexation area of Bremerton Heights. Bremerton Heights is an annexation east of Oyster Bay and west of Bremerton Blvd., Block #1 of Bremerton Heights Plat, containing 8.12 acres and 22 parcels with 14 separate property owners. This petition is the 10% petition requesting Council's approval to go forward on this annexation. She noted this petition actually represents 51% majority of that area and 88% pledged. Of the annexation area, the City owns 2.24 acres of undeveloped land. Ms. Hartson noted there had been a very positive response to the TAPE #922 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 15, 1991 Page 6 of 24 annexation by the residents. The annexation area will benefit substantially from City Police and Fire services, which are available 24-hours a day, they will enjoy reduced water bills and if they choose to hook up to City Sewer, they will not pay non- resident charges. The annexation would including 0 Street and Bremerton Blvd., and will be included in Street Department services. Also, the new residents will enjoy the local convenience of a local Court System and easy access to government officials. The residents within the annexation area will be taxed 15 cents more than what they are currently paying and will receive expanded benefits of City services. Ron Houqh, Planning Manager, stated there are a couple options on zoning: (1) Provision Zoning, known as Default Zoning, where an area can be annexed and administratively apply zoning that is most similar to the current County zoning on that property. If this is done, the Planning Commission will hold a public hearing within 60 days of the annexation and reviews the Provisional Zoning and make a recommendation to the City Council; (2) to go through the Planning Commission first, holding a public hearing on zoning and bring that along as a part of the annexation package. He noted it was faster and easier to go the route of Provisional Zoning. Public comment - none Mr. Johnson questioned if Council chose Default Zoning and matched up to County zoning, does that open us Up for potential down zone for any of the property? Ian Sievers, City Attorney, stated what it does is to trigger an automatic zone review. It does not have to be applied for by the property owner and the City will do it under the provisions of the Default Zoning in the Zoning Code. Once that zoning is in place, it does not bind the City Council's hand from further zoning reviews upon application. Mr. Johnson noted as it stated in the Council packet: "it would automatically become the designation most similar to the former County zoning", and he was not sure what that meant. Mr. Sievers explained the City would pick a City zoning designation most similar to the County's designation and that zoning would continue until the 60- day zoning review was completed. It would be an interim zoning that would be a close as we could approximate the County zoning. Mr. Johnson noted if after that review the recommended zone from the Planning Commission or Council was a lower level of density or development than want it is currently with the County would the City be opening itself up for down zoning lawsuit. Mr. Sievers stated no, the property owners who signed the 75% petition with this provision that it would get provisional zoning, did so with the understanding that it will be open to review and that review may be a down zone, an up zone or may stay the same. TAPE #922 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 15, 1991 Page 7 of 24 #2224 Mr. Waibel questioned if there would be another petition signed later? Mr. Sievers pointed out the petition for support is 10% at this stage and another hearing will be held at the time the 75% petition is presented. Mr. Waibel expressed concern that the recommended motion was not accurate and Council could not recommend going ahead with the annexation. Mr. Sievers stated Council must grant a preliminary approval of this stage of annexation, based on 10% and he felt the recommendation was appropriate. If the 75% petition comes about and if Council approves that petition at a subsequent hearing, then the annexation will be final. Mr. Waibel stated as the motion states as soon as 75% of the residents sign the petition, the properties are annexed. Mr. Sieves suggested making the following addition to the motion: "upon approval by the City Council of the 75% petition". President Morton stated it was her understanding that Council accepted the 10% intent for annexation and directed staff to go out and seek the further 65% for the annexation to carry forward. Mr. Morning suggested the following wording of the motion: "City Council makes a motion to accept annexation upon approval of the City Council's acceptance of a 75% petition .... ". M/S/C/U(Horning/Johnson) to accept annexation upon approval of the City Council's acceptance of a 75% petition, which requires a proportional share of City indebtedness and provisional zoning under the Zoning Ordinance. 6D - AUTHORIZING AN INTERFUND LOAN FROM THE GENERAL FUND TO THE STREET FUND, #AB91-129 The City's Street Fund is currently operating in a deficit cash position. The proposed resolution provides a temporary cash advance to allow the underlying problem to be remedied. Public comment - none. Mr. Waibel stated basically, this is one of our Departments saying they have themselves in a position where they need a loan so they do not go into a negative cash flow. At the beginning of each year a similar situation occurs whereby Council approves borrowing funds in order to not have a negative cash flow during any month of the year. Mr. Overson stated that may be what we are doing but that is not a good policy. In fact, it has been a goal of Council to keep this from happening. If this proposal is passed, he requested that the City Treasurer provide to Fiscal and Budget Committee a written statement on how we got to this point and how do we "get well" in 1992. Mr. Johnson noted Council had adopted a policy on interfund loans which specifically stated how interest rates were calculated. He TAPE #922 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 15, 1991 Page 8 of 24 requested that the Resolution be modified to match Council's policy on interest charged on interfund loans. President Morton stated in the event, between now and the time of loan repayment, there is any excessive overtime it should be processed through Fiscal and Budget Committee or brought back to Council for their approval. Mr. Brees stated overtime just by nature does not lend itself to that kind of schedule. President Morton noted she was well aware of that, however, when this problem was dealt with in the Fire Department tighter controls were mandated. In September/October, she would like Mr. Brees and the Mayor to give Council an update on how the department is functioning and the progress of loan repayment. Mr. Brees explained overtime is not scheduled...most of their's is generated in response to CenCom calls. The overtime that is scheduled are those events such as the Armed Forces Parade. He emphasized that the budget itself was going in the right direction and the revenues are exceeding expenditures at this time. President Morton noted this problem should have been brought to Council six months earlier, because that was when the problem occurred. Mr. Collins stated it was his understanding that Mr. Brees makes his billing to other departments within the City or County and it takes 60-90 days before he is paid for services rendered. That in turn is causing Mr. Brees to have a cash flow shortfall. President Morton stated his shortfall was coming from the fact that in 1990 he spent more money than maybe he should have, which nearly depleted his ending year balance. Mr. Collins stated as he recalled the procurement of the Vactor was not Mr. Brees' desire...it was to be used for work that needed to be done for the Utility. Mr. Brees stated to some extent that was true, what is driving it is the Clean Water Act mandated by the State. The Utility was going to work toward establishment of a Storm Sewer Utility and have~that utility pick up the cost of the Vactor. Mr. Morning stated his problem with this is not aimed at Mr. Brees. The problem is the funding mechanism which generated the cash flow problem, which should have been addressed last year and worst case in the 1991 budget. He stated his support of approving this request, however, a proper solution must be found so that this type of situation is not revisited. Mr. Johnson suggested that the motion include that the City Treasurer provide a plan of action to cure this problem not later than the end of fiscal year 1992 and to do that within the next month and that the Treasurer present at the September Study Session the status of the "get well" program he developed. Mr. Homing stated he did not believe Mr. Johnson's suggestions needed to be TAPE #922 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 15, 1991 Page 9 of 24 #2849 part of the motion, but rather direction to staff from Council. Mr. Johnson stated he felt it was important to get it on the record. Mr. Horninq stated he supported Mr. Johnson's request. M/S/C/U(Horning/Colvin) to approve Resolution #2345, authorizing an interfund loan for the Street Fund for temporary cash needs, hat the interest rate corresponds to Council's previous policy on repayment of interfund loans; that the City Treasurer provide a plan of action to cure this problem not later than the end of fiscal year 1992, to do that within the next month and present the status of his "get well" program at Council's September Study Session. 6E - EARNEST MONEY AGREEMENT - FOURTH STREET BUILDING, #AB91-130 At the April Council Study Session a proposal to purchase the Fourth Street Building was presented. The financing included trading the Permit Center as part of the package. Council indicated their desire to keep the Permit Center. Mayor Mentor renegotiated with the owner of the Fourth Street Building for a cash sale and was able to reduce the purchase price by $25,000 to $475,000. The attached Earnest Money Receipt & Sale Agreement requires Council approval to move forward with the purchase. Mayor Mentor explained the need for additional space to house City personnel and the only way to expand City Hall would be to utilize the 4th Street Building, which is next to City Hall. There will be an even bigger need in the future and within 5-10 years that need will become more critical We are also fortunate at this time that the interest rates are down, there would be rent income from the present tenants and there would be a cost savings for utilities and maintenance on other buildings that the City currently use. Parking in the back of the building is also included in the proposal. He urged Council to approve the proposal as presented. Public comment - none Mr. Johnson noted the present need for the 4th Street Building is not all that great, however, in looking to the future the City will need to expand and this would provide an opportunity to purchase facilities at a reasonable price. If in the future, it was determined that a new City Hall was to be built, then the combined properties (City Hall and 4th Street buildings) would provide a sizeable piece of prime downtown property that could be sold. He stated he was supportive of this proposal to support future needs of City government. Mr. Estes questioned why is Bremerton going to need a bigger government? Mayor Mentor stated he was not looking to expand and TAPE #922 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 15, 1991 Page 10 of 24 just hire more people. The current population of Bremerton is approximately 38,000 and the City is growing. Right now the City is getting along with their facilities, however, future needs could not be fit within those facilities. TAPE #923 Mr. Colvin questioned if the City would rent out unused space? Mayor Mentor explained currently about 1/2 of the building is rented and effort will be made to find more tenants. With the continued growth within the downtown area he felt the City would have the opportunity to rent out more of the building and to utilize it only as needs arise. He projects that the building will bring in cash from rent revenues - most of the building is rented between $8-10 per foot, but the very best part of the building is rented between $2-4 per foot. He felt the City would benefit greatly by the demand for downtown locations. Mr. Overson stated he was not convinced that the City should become a landlord. We either need more space for City services or the unused space will be rented out. He was not convinced the City needed the extra space and the costs for renovation were unknown because future tenants are unknown. President Morton stated she would not support this proposal and had handed out to Council a list of capital projects, which did not include this proposal. She is concerned that the City is becoming landlords and getting into competition with private enterprise; and it is not on the Capital Improvement Plan and the Mayor has not presented any sort of plan as to what will go into the building except a nebulas "we are growing and need more space". She would like to see a facilities project itemized as to long range and she did not think $300,000 would cover the cost of renovation. For the cost of $800,000, she would rather have those funds spent on other City projects. She recognized rent revenues could be used to pay off annual $70,000 bond payment, however, as the City utilizes that building then those revenues would diminish. Mr. Morning stated he was not sure where he stood on this issue. He did feel uncomfortable with some of the renovation dollar figures. He understands the long-range vision outlined by the Mayor, but also felt there are other needs that need to be addressed. Mr. Overson noted Mr. Waibel commented that the contribution from the annual budget was $9,500 - that would be if the City was running a rental facility. It was his understanding that the intent was to have City office spaces and if that happened then that rental revenue would go away. He questioned the Mayor if that was what the City would be doing...running a rental facility? TAPE #923 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 15, 1991 Page 11 of 24 Mayor Mentor stated yes. President Morton stated she realized there was a lot of real estate up for grabs in the downtown area and may have very attractive price tags, but she hoped before acquiring any more downtown real estate that it would pertain to the Capital Improvement Plan There is no point in making a Capital Improvement Plan if it is not followed. Mayor Mentor stated the building the way it is now is marginal (1/2 currently rented and 1/2 available for City use if needed). He expected the main floor may be a rental property for years to come because it is a very valuable part of the City. Mr. Dawkins felt this was an excellent opportunity and would prove to be a wise decision in the years to come. Mr. Estes stated the Engineering Department does need extra space and questioned how many other departments needed to expand? Mayor Mentor explained the Engineering Department and Planning Department both needed extra space at this time. There are other departments that are housed in very cramped quarters and extra space would bring them some relief. Mr. Estes questioned if the Mayor was projecting that the City would need two floors of the 4th Street building? Mayor Mentor stated the building use needs to be studied before moving any City staff and that move should reflect needs projected out at least 10 years. He anticipated that possibly 1/2 or one floor may be needed in the near future. Mr. Estes questioned if there was any intention to push out any current tenants because the rent is too low? Mayor Mentor stated as time goes by rents will be raised. Mr. Estes stated he was making reference to the next six months to one year. Mayor Mentor stated he did not see any big changes in that time frame until some upgrading is done on the building and the market changes. Mr. Dawkins questioned how many parking spaces came with the building? Mayor Mentor stated there are 26 parking spaces. Mr. Dawkins pointed out the need to reserve some of that parking for short term City use. Mr. Collins stated he was not supportive of the proposal at the time it was approved to have a "one Stop" permit center and acquiring the building it presently is housed in. In this instance, he is supportive because it does have an inter- relationship with City Hall. The regulatory problems that are being put upon the City brings about a continuous increase in staff. He felt this was the appropriate move right now. Mr. Colvin stated he shared President Horton's and Councilman's Overson's concern about the City being a landlord. However, currently there is no private space where his constituents can talk with him other than his own residence. For that reason, he would #0068 TAPE #923 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 15, 1991 Page 12 of 24 support this proposal. Mr. Overson pointed out that there was no guarantee that there would be space available for such a "private" meeting room, nor that additional parking would be available to the public. Mr. Johnson stated when he had talked with Mayor Mentor prior to this meeting he had promised the following things: (1) whatever goes into the parking lot it will not be staff parking; (2) there is no plan to move the City Council office area into the proposed building. M/S/C(Waibel/Collins) to approve the Earnest Money Receipt and Sales Agreement. Vote: In Favor: Opposed: Collins, Dawkins, Colvin, Johnson, Estes, Waibel Overson, Horton, Homing, 6F - REAL ESTATE PURCHASE AND SALES AGREEMENT - 1133 NAVAL AVE., #AB91-131 The attached agreement is for purchase of property at 1133 Naval Avenue. This property is adjacent to the City owned Ivy Green Cemetery. The purchase price is $49,500 payable by May 25, 1991. Mayor Mentor stated this property is adjacent to Ivy Green Cemetery on the east side, behind the Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier. The cemetery has taken a real turn for the better in the last year through increased volunteer clean up efforts. Parking is a major problem at the cemetery and there have been instances where vehicles have parked along grave sites. The opportunity to purchase this property came up suddenly and it was his desire to take advantage of that opportunity to help alleviate some parking needs. Mr. Dawkins stated due to a conflict of interest he would step down from hearing this item. Jack Lefcowski, questioned who owned the cemetery? President Horton explained the City owned the cemetery. Mr. Lefcowski stated if this item is approved then the City will have purchased two parking lots within one year. He did not want to see the City in the landlord business. He questioned if there was any other option for parking other than buying this property? Also, he stated he was unhappy with the waterfront parking lot trade for Roosevelt Field. President Hotton clarified the fact that the proposed property would be used only for auxiliary parking at the cemetery and would not be used as a commercial parking lot. Mr. Johnson noted over the years comments had been made as to the need to improve the area behind the Tomb Of The Unknown Soldiers, #0897 TAPE #923 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 15, 1991 Page 13 of 24 etc., and the only areas a vehicle can be parked on is the roadways and the grassy area adjacent to this residence. But, the grassy area has been designated into plots, which have been sold and will one day be used, therefore, the proposed purchase would provide relief for parking needs. He urged Council to take advantage of this opportunity. Mr. Colvin expressed his support of this proposal because the City needs the space to provide needed parking. Mr. Estes stated Ivy Green Cemetery is not only a City treasure but a National treasure. Acquiring the proposed property would add an enhancement that would have a long-term affect. The cemetery is receiving national attention from recent efforts to clean up and improve the resting places of war heroes and those who served their country. And, an event is planned for Friday, May 17, honoring the HMS Warspite and all those who serve aboard. Mr. Collins noted as a point of interest that the dead of the Warspite battle of Crete were sealed in a compartment of the ship and when they came to Bremerton for repairs their dead shipmates were buried in Ivy Green Cemetery. He questioned if some plans could be set in motion designating their grave as a special place? Vicki Vanneman, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated she would look into such an idea. Mr. Overson stated a budget adjustment was presented to the Fiscal and Budget Committee and they did not approve it on the basis it had not been planned for and the impact is not known on future financial situations. M/S/C/U(Estes/Collins) to approve the purchase of property located at 1133 Naval Avenue, Bremerton, WA. Councilman Dawkins returned to the meeting. 6G - AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONS OF ROOSEVELT FIELD SETTLEMENT AUTHORIZATION, #AB91-134 The language of the Motion approving the exchange in lieu of condemnation passed on April 3, 1991, contains a reference to closing which differs from the intent of the parties that only possession would be delayed to accommodate the City. Clarify this language will also facilitate negotiations by the City for surplusing the parcel received in the exchange. Possession of the two parcels involved in the settlement will still remain with the current owners until notice is given by the City, but no later than August 1, 1992. Ian Sievers, City Attorney, stated he is approaching the final #1007 TAPE #923 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 15, 1991 Page 14 of 24 stages of working through some contract language which does satisfy the conditions that was set forth by the Council, except for this one reference in Condition #2. Upon reviewing the documents, he had presumed what the parties intended a delayed closing where in fact it was just a delayed possession. He felt the amendment was merely a correction and this was the intent at the close of the public hearing on April 3. Council can make this correction in a summary manner without reopening the pubic hearing or considering this as a new item of business. Public comment - none. Mr. Waibel stated as one of the members of the Council who met with members of the College Board and as the individual who made the motion, his intent was exactly as the wording reflects on the correction proposed. Therefore, it is his desire to correct the wording to reflect what was intended in his original motion. Mr. Johnson questioned if this action just confirms the motion made by the Council so that voting on this would be saying that is what was intended on April 3, by the majority of the Council? Mr. Sievers stated that was his intention, allowing the City to proceed with the exchange. President Morton stated for clarification that this amendment came up suddenly and there was no intent to bypass the public, but in Mr. Sievers' dealing with the College and State Attorney General's personnel it became apparent an error had been made.

In doing these activities the City Council should provide as many tools as possible for our citizens and the private sector to use to improve our community. Authorizing the use of and providing the procedures for establishment and operation of public corporations, commissions and authorities will provide a proven and TAPE #923 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 15, 1991 Page 15 of 24 potent tool for the City and the private sector to use to improve and sustain the vitality of the City of Bremerton. Mr. Johnson stated he had worked with a number of staff in developing this ordinance. This type of organization has a number of uses, and were authorized since the mid '70's in the State of Washington. Technically, an ordinance is not required but cited by RCW. However, when dealing with quasi-public 'corporations, that may have some donated City assets, etc., it would probably be desired to have some tight controls and to make sure those controls build a strong fence or wall for liability purposes. One of the reasons he pushed to have a strong ordinance when there presently is no activity in this area, is that the City could discuss and act on this issue in an unemotional Circumstance. Any group that may want to have a public corporation in the City of Bremerton would refer to this ordinance. In this case, the City actually would charter those public corporations so all requests would come to City Council for approval. He was not aware of anyone actively pursuing this type of organization in Bremerton. It had been mentioned as a possibility at various times that the Admiral Theater project would have been such a candidate for this type of proposal. Other cities in the State who have enacted similar ordinances vary from the City of Grapeview to the City of Seattle. Projects completed under this type of program include: a riverfront development in Vancouver, "Officer's Row"- old military facilities turned into historical sites, City Hall Complex in City of Mercer Island, art museum and Pike Place Market in City of Seattle, medical center in Grays Harbor area, and King County Museum Of Flight. Don Pratt, Director Of Community Development, stated the reason we would use a Public Development Authority (PDA) is that the expertise in managing and operating an entrepreneur or developmental type of operation is not always found in the same kind of person that makes a good City Council member. This gives the City an opportunity to bring those individuals into a public project, charter that project by the City and ask them to serve on the Board Of Directors in an entrepreneurial manner, not in a political manner. He pointed out this ordinance does state, as State law does, that these organizations do come under the purview of the "Open Meetings Act" and other such acts and it is public information. Also, the City's Code Of Ethics would apply to any directors that might be hired. Secondly, to give you a flavor of what they could do - they could be charged with the management of any properties that the City might acquire with that management coming in the form of development opportunities or simply leasing opportunities. For example, the City could ask a PDA to manage City properties as landlords and limits the City's liability and still bring in some entrepreneurial flavor to decisions. Parking #1501 TAPE #923 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 15, 1991 Page 16 of 24 facilities have been managed and developed by such a program and major sports venues like King Domes and major league ball fields in other cities have been developed by public development. Mr. Johnson added that the PDA do have the right and are encouraged to apply for Federal and State grant funds and to administer those funds on their own. Public comment - none. Mr. Morning stated this item had been discussed by the Operations Committee and it was decided what was being done by this proposal was making it known that if a developer wants to combine in the spirit of this with the community at large, they will be more likely aware of it by passage of the ordinance. It also allows for an opportunity to later on adjust it to fit their particular needs. He questioned does this require PDC filing reporting as a group or does it require individual filing? Mr. Pratt stated he did not know for sure, but he did not believe that members of boards are subject to Public Disclosure. However, they would come under the City's Code Of Ethics. Mr. Overson complimented Mr. Johnson, who undertook this effort single-handedly and achieved it. Mr. Colvin questioned if the proposal would provide for private use of public funds? Mr. Johnson stated yes. For example, the City could take a piece of property it owned and donate it to the public corporation and from that if revenues are generated that money would be generated by that corporation, not "the public funds". M/S/C/U(Johnson/Colvin) to approve Ordinance, on first reading, authorizing the establishment and chartering of one or more public corporations, commissions and/or authorities. 7D - ORDINANCE #4327 (SECOND READING) ANNEXING APPROXIMATELY 7.04 ACRES IN THE VICINITY OF ARSENAL WAY AND MARION AVE., KNOWNAS THE HOSKINSON ANNEXATION, REZONING SAID PROPERTY, AND FIXING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF ANNEXATION, #AB91-124 On July 19, 1990, the City Council gave its tentative approval to the Hoskinson annexation; and voted that residents of subject area would assume its share of the City's indebtedness. Additionally, Council approved zoning for the annexation on April 24, 1991 after a Public Hearing. The Council is to: (1) hold public hearing to accept comments pertaining to the annexation and related matters; and (2) to make a final determination on the annexation before them. #1563 TAPE #923 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 15, 1991 Page 17 of 24 (3) Pass ordinance implementing annexation and zoning of the area. Public comment - none. M/S/C/U(Waibel/Estes) to approve Ordinance #4327, on second reading, annexing approximately 7.04 acres in the vicinity of Arsenal Way and Marion Avenue, known as the Hoskinson Annexation, rezoning said property, and fixing the effective date of annexation. 8A - PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FINAL ZONING AND SHORELINE ENVIRONMENT DESIGNATION FOR THE W. KITSAP LAKE ANNEXATION AREA -- AND RELATED ORDINANCE AND RESOLUTION, #AB91-133 Earlier this year, the City annexed a 109 acres area known as the West Kitsap Lake Annexation Area. To expedite the annexation, provisional zoning was applied to be most similar to the former county zoning. Whenever provisional zoning is applied in this manner, the Planning Commission must review that zoning at a public hearing within 60 days and recommend "final" zoning to the City Council. The Commission has -conducted its hearing and has recommended "SF-2" zoning. An ordinance is included to complete that process. Since the annexation area also includes frontage along Kitsap Lake, the City's Shoreline Master Program must be amended to apply the City's residential designation. This amendment must be approved by the state. The first step is to approve the attached Resolution of Intent to Adopt the amendment, which will be sent to DOE for its approval. President Horton asked the "Appearance Of Fairness/Conflict Of Interest" question with all Council members being seated. Ron Hough, Planning Manager, stated the map displayed showed the existing development of the annexation area with most of the area consisting of low density single family homes and a few mobile homes. The area was annexed with Provisional Zoning Single Family (SF-2) because this zone allows about 5-units per acre, which is very similar to what the County had zoned it prior to the annexation. The SF-2 zone does not allow some of the things the County zoning allowed, such as multiple family structures. The Planning Commission reviewed the Provisional Zoning within 60 days, as required by the Zoning Ordinance, and they reviewed the Comprehensive Plan, existing development in the zoning, compared the two and looked at other zoning districts within the City. The TAPE #923 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 15, 1991 Page 18 of 24 intent was not to down zone the area making the minimum lot size larger and they did not want to up zone it to allow a division of lots. He pointed out seven lots in the annexation area are smaller than the minimum lot size in the SF-2 zone, which is 9,600 sq. ft.. Therefore, those lots are pre-existing and are legal for development. If a Single Family (SF-3) was applied, virtually every lot in the annexation area, with the exception of those seven, could potentially be spit into smaller pieces. Because of the area's location along the west side of Kitsap Lake, potential pollution of the lake and the fact and only one street that provides access through this neighborhood, the Planning Commission felt the SF-3 zoning was too dense for this area and SF-2 was more reflective of what is there, what should be there in there in the future. Council is being asked to approve, on first reading, an Ordinance approving the SF-2 zoning. Until we official designate the shoreline of Kitsap Lake, the part annexed, in the Shoreline Master Program, it continues to be under the jurisdiction of the County Shoreline Program. Therefore, the second portion of this action is to designate the shoreline R-12, which is the designation for the rest of the residential shoreline around Kitsap Lake. Council is asked to approve a Resolution of intent, which has to go to the State for approval and then returns to the City for final resolution to complete the process. Jack Lefcoski, Kitsap Lake resident, stated he was not overly concerned about the annexation issue, however, he was concerned about the outlet of the lake in the northwest corner. The State of Washington Game and Wildlife Department use to maintain that outlet and for approximately 15 years they had a screen in the dam, which rotated continuously to prevent the weeds and debris from damming up. The screen served several purposes: (1) lifted debris over the top of the dam and preventing it from clogging; (2) prevented state plant fish from going downstream; (3) prevented salmon entering the lake from Chico Creek. The cost to maintain this screen was approximately $15,000 every five years. The State decided to save $15,000 and disengaged the screen. Now, without the screen and disregarding the fish, debris is piling up. He was suggesting and asking that the City assign one department to periodically drive through that area and check the dam. He personally had undertaken the task of removing debris that had dammed up during the winter months even though the property is posted "no trespassing". Mark Cooling, 672 Kitsap Lake Rd. NW, stated he lives in the annexation zone and under the former County zone, R-5, he complied with the minimum lot size of 7,000 sq. ft., minimum front yard setback- 15 ft.,and minimum side yard setback of 5 ft. In regard to the proposed zoning designation, he does not comply with any of those conditions. Even though he was assured by the Planning TAPE #923 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 15, 1991 Page 19 of 24 Department that he would have a legal non-conforming use, there are a series of encumbrances which come with a legal non-conforming use. Currently, his front porch needs to be repaired and he would like to enclose it...to do this he would have to apply for and go through a variance process in order to accomplish that simple type of home upgrade. Therefore, he felt it was appropriate for him to have a SF-3 zoning, which would allow him to be in conformance with area requirements. He did support the annexation but he did not think it was fair that his property would be transferred from a conforming legal usage to a non-conforming legal usage. He realized spot zoning was not a good idea but he believed it would be appropriate to designate his property SF-3. Mr. Overson stated he agreed that spot zoning was not the best approach. The SF-3 zoning would have been a logical proposal and questioned why it was not recommended? Mr. Hough stated had the SF-3 been considered for one lot, that would be considered a spot zone within the area. He pointed out there are seven lots that are smaller than the minimum lot size and all of those are already developed. What Mr. Cooling was talking about was a slight difference in setback requirements and does not affect the use of his house as it is now but would affect it if he wanted to add a room. There may even be a justification for a variance since the house was constructed under a different Code and jurisdiction. Mr. Overson expressed concern that Mr. Cooling would never be able to meet the SF-2 requirement. He felt the City was amiss and incorrect in doing that. Mr. Hough stressed there are seven lots that will never meet the SF-2 requirements and he did not support granting a SF-3 zoning designation to all seven lots. Even if his property was zoned SF-3, he was not sure it would meet the requirements of a SF-3 zone, which requires 4,800 sq. ft., per house. So, he would still be non-conforming in a SF-3 zoning. Mr. Cooling stated there are two dwellings on his property and under the County zoning one is termed an "auxiliary dwelling unit" and it is a certain percentage of the primary dwelling and was in legal compliance with the County zoning. In terms of the front and side yards setbacks, he would be in compliance. He could not short plat the property if granted a SF-3 zone. Mr. Estes questioned which is the front yard and which is the back yard? Mr. Hough stated the front yard would front on the street. Mr. Overson questioned for clarification the maximum he would have would be 4,700 sq. ft. per dwelling and still does not meet SF-3 requirements. Mr. Hough stated yes. Mr. Horning stated rather than changing the zoning, if the City allowed Special Use Permits to the exceptions for all seven lots, was that something that could take place? Mr. Hough stated they have a new process called" Zoning Ordinance Special Exception", TAPE #923 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 15, 1991 Page 20 of 24 which might work better. Mr. Morning questioned if Mr. Cooling would comply in his case? Mr. Hough stated he may, but they would have to go through the process and check the criteria. Mr. Homing questioned what about the other six lots? Mr. Hough stated they could look at all seven lots and test them against that criteria. Mr. Homing stated he felt it was important for the City of Bremerton to welcome new residents without heaping problems upon them as they come into the City. He suggested the City initiate a Special Use process on the seven lots. He hoped Planning staff could review those special exceptions and let Council know that it shouldn't be zoned SF-3. Don Pratt, Director Of Community Development, stated he would welcome the opportunity to send a letter to each of the owners of the seven lots explaining the circumstances and inviting them, if they have special needs to be met, to approach the City. In all honesty, we could not imagine the special and unique circumstances in each one of those lots that could come about. Mr. Morning stated it was not right to immediately put someone in non-conformance when they annexed into the City. Mr. Pratt stated he believed they could do a straight forward, decent job of telling them if they have a problem with the City's zoning code that we have these tools at our disposal to work with them. Mr. Homing stated he could accept Mr. Pratt's proposal. Mr. Pratt stated he was proud of the City's Zoning Code and how it deals with the surrounding neighbors and we do not have the license to grant that Special Exception unless it meets certain tests with surrounding neighbors and he is obliged to talk with those neighbors before offering that exception. Mr. Homing stated he would encourage Mr. Pratt to proceed immediately with his proposal and would like the Council be kept informed of his progress. Mr. Collins raised a question if Mr. Cooling did not have a 20 ft. setback and desired to enclose his porch, would he be granted a permit? Mr. Hough stated it may be possible to enclose the porch if the living room was not being expanded to cover the area. He would need more details before he could give a specific answer to that question. Mr. Collins questioned if the variance process would work if he was already a non-conforming use? Mr. Hough stated yes, they had approved variances for properties within the City limits that don't meet current setback requirements. President Horton stated even if this property was granted a SF-3 designation, it would still be a non-conforming use because of the size of the structure and the size of the lot. In fact, that property would be a non-conforming use in either SF-2 or SF-3. Therefore, direction needs to be that there is special administrative handling of those specific properties. Mr. Johnson questioned if there was any special designation as a sensitive area where Kitsap Creek comes out of the lake? Mr. Hough TAPE #923 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 15, 1991 Page 21 of 24 stated he could not answer that as Kay Wilson, of the Planning Department, would be the person to answer that question. He noted there was some other drainage that crossed those areas. Johnson questioned if the State shouldn't be given notice about Kitsap Lake Park? Mr. Mough stated it was already designated. Mr. Johnson stated he did not want to do any spot zoning but he did not want to see these residents have to go through the variance process because it is not easy to meet variance criteria. He supported Mr. Pratt's proposal to communicate immediately with the owners of the seven lots telling them of their options. Mr. Overson stated in reference to the dam, without the efforts of well intentioned citizens we could have had some problems that would jeopardize the lake. Terrie Martson, Municipal Services Coordinator, stated the City is working with the Department Of Fisheries to find out why they discontinued their maintenance of the dam. And, they are looking into which City Department would be appropriate to take on the responsibility of monitoring that area. President Morton requested clarification of the "R12" designation. Mr. Mouqh explained the "R" stands for residential and as there are a number of residential zones in the City, this one happens to be #12. #2904 M/S/C/U(Waibel/Horning) to approve Ordinance, on first reading, amending the official Zoning Map of the City of Bremerton to apply the SF-2 zoning district to properties within the West Kitsap Lake Annexation area. #2991 M/S/C/U(Waibel/Johnson) to approve Resolution #2346, Notice Of Intent of the City of Bremerton, Washington, to adopt an amendment to the City's Shoreline Master Program to apply the R12 Shoreline Environmental Designation to recently annexed lands along Kitsap Lake. #3032 M/S/C/U(Overson/Colvin) to continue this meeting under Thursday, May 16, 1991, 10:00 AM.
