ORDINANCE #3908 - CONNECTION TO PUBLIC SEWER, 2nd. Reading #AB84-281
Ordinance #3908, second reading, amending Ordinance #2654, Sec. 1, and Ordinance
#1673, requirements for connection with public sewer language updating. Ms.
McCluskey s~nerized the r~s~o frc~ Mr. Adrian regarding the proposed ordinance,
addressing his concerns, including the appeals procedure, the 60 days provision
covered in Sec. 2 of the Ordinance and 300' being reduced to 200'.
Mr. Court Prisk, Director of Field Services, concurred with Mr. Adrian's reccm-
mendation regarding appeals and notice. He did not agree with the reduction
from 300' to 200 feet.
Councilman Anderson questioned Mr. Prisk if he was positive the County has a
300' requirement, as the Kitsap County Health Depar~¥~nt is 200'. Mr. Prisk
stated we have been requiring 300' using Kitsap County Ora~nance #55 as refer-
ence. He said the 300' is measured along the established right-of-way, or if
pre-existing easements exist, therefore not crossing adjoining property owner's
land. Measuring will be liberlized in this new ordinance. Mr. Anderson then
expressed concern of measuring from the property line given. He thought it
was safe to say "from the premise the most logical point of hookup".
Councilman Sturdivant asked, if the ordinance stated "from the most logical point
of hookup"?
Mr. Prisk responded that the Engineer and property owner will determine.
Councilman Anderson asked if the premise is the house or the property? Mr.
Prisk responded the property the house sits on. Mr. Sturdivant c~,~nted tb~t
he has a probl~ with the appeal process. That this is scmething handed him
from Mr. Adrian without time for review or study, and with the suggested
changes he was in favor of tabling. Mr. Prisk thought the appeal process
should be open ended. Mr. Sturdivant did not like to make a decision on
scmething piece-meal and not a total draft. Mr. Amo stated everyone has had
an opportunity to study the ordinance and that the changes are very slight
and he was opposed to tabling at this time. Mr. Broughton thought that the
sixty-day provision changed to 180 days should not be a problem. Therefore,
it would be 181 days when served by the Engineer and 61 days when served by the
Health officer. Mr. Sturdivant again stated that he would still like to see
the document in completed form and cc~e back in two weeks to make a decision.
· M/S/(Sturdivant/Anderson) to see the doc~nent in cu~lete form and ccme back
in two weeks to make a decision. Vote: 2 - In Favor; 5 Opposed (Homing,
Pachek, Amo, Mosely, & Johnson). Motion failed.

MONTHLY COUNCIL MEETING AT HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE SITE #AB84-299
Jean Jackson, Chairman of Mayor'~s Cc~ttee on Disability, addressed the need
to meet, at least once each month, in a Handicapped accessible site and cited
Federal standards (1977) as something the city must do to be in cc~pliance,
because the city receives Federal money. She was noting section #504.
Question by Councilman Pachek as to how expensive it ~uld be to move the
equipment and set up once a month. Mayor Dawkins responded approximately $100.00
per meeting. Councilman Mosely expressed concern that records are not readily
available. Ms. Jackson stated that she has asked Council to consider this issue
both verbally, and in writing. Elizabeth Buell, 1722 High, related a time when
she was on crutches and could not make it up the steps and she was told they
would have personnel who would help her. Walterine Taylor, agreed with Ms.
Jackson. Councilman Pachek said we will not have a problem as soon as the
elevator installation is cc~pleted in September.
City Attorney Broughton said the Federal guidelines required a plan to ccmply
by October. With the scheduled installation of tb~ elevator we are c~mplying,
and a good faith effort on the part of the City is sho~wn.
MS. Roland Drewer, Rehab Specialist Counselor in the County and is supporting
of section #504 and the good it has brought forth. Ms. Mary Lou Long, 2433
E. Phinney Bay Drive faulted the previous administrations for not complying
for several years. Ms. Long further asked if she could address an issue already
completed on the Agenda. Councilman Johnson suggested she write a letter or
asked to be placed on next week's agenda. Councilman Arno felt argents are
not substantial to warrant waiting until the elevator is in, and the cost is
minimal.

GOLD MC~/~TAIN GOLF COURSE FEE STRUC1T~qES #AB84-293
Mr. Court Prisk gave a short presentation explaining fee structures and changes
in playing times, discounts for Sr. Citizens, etc. After reviewing the current
fee structure the new Board of Directors for Gold Mount~i n Golf Course recc~m~nd-
ed the new fee structure which, if adopted, would better meet the needs of the
City in restoring and maintaining the course.
Mr. Steve Miller, Golf Professional, stated he met with the present men's club
and outlined the desires of the Board.
Mr. Fred Stokes said he was disappointed in the changes and resented being
told he had to golf at certain time frames because of the cost value. He
was not as concerned about the cost as the restriction of play.
Councilman Sturdivant felt the fees were moderate. Councilman Homing stated
we needed to procede to get the course in top quality shape. Councilman Stur-
divant spent several hours along with Councilman Adrian on the fee schedules
with the Board. Had Mr. Tyson continued with the city, his intent was also to
raise fee structures. Councilman Mosely iD~ired what the fee would be between
April and September for semi-annual passes. Mr. Prisk responded $200.00/single
and $350.00/couple.

h~3~P~ING - KERRY INVESTMENTS REZONE & VARIANCE #AB84-300
City Clerk McCluskey stated that the applicant Kerry Investments has requested
a Rezone frcm R-2 to B-3 and appealed denial of variance to Section #722 of
the Zoning Ordinance.
Council President Art Anderson asked the standard Conflict of Interest question.
All Council members r~nained.
Carol Saari, Planner, stated that the Planning C~LJssion unanimously approved
the request for rezone of property located at the North side of 7th Street
and west of Park Avenue, and denied the variance request by Resolutions #720
and 721. The request for variance was to permit daily paid parking which is
currently prohibited (monthly paid parking currently allowed only). The
reasons for disapproval are (1) Special circumstances do not apply to the
property and (2) a Substantial property right will not be lost if the variance
is not granted.
Mr. Bruce Rowe, 3330 Union Sc~are, Seattle, representing Kerry Investments
spoke on behalf of the request. He stated that the Br~aerton Zoning Ordi-
nance cited (#722) was adopted in 1942. With requirements frc~ the Engineer-
ing department, lighting, surface water retention, etc., it was necessary to
derive incc~e frc~ this property to meet compliance in addition to paying the
taxes on said property. He spoke of the need for daily parking and that the
residents, surrounding the area, had no objections. That this area is beccm-
ing c~t~L~rcial and the need exists.
Ms. Elizabeth Buell, poke in favor of granting the variance for parking. Mr.
George Allen, Brownsville Hwy., agreed saying the city was in need of more
parking in the general area. Mr. Joe Gero, Planning Director directed attention
the four requirements for a variance.
Councilman Anderson questioned Mr. Gero whether the use requested would be
allowed B-1. Mr. Gero and Planning Staff checked the Zoning Ordinance. B-1
does not allow cc~nercial parking outright. Only B-2 and B-3 Zones allow
c~Lu~rcial parking outright.
~2117 · M/S/C/U/(Horning/Pachek) to approve the request for Rezone frc~ R-2 to B-3
for Kerry Investments.

It was noted that the Ordinance needs to be reviewed and amended.
Mr. Rowe asked if he could have time for a rebuttal and City Attorney Broughton
advised the Council not to open the issue for discussion. If Mr. Rowe wanted
to respond, he should do so in writing for consideration.
HEAPd/~G- DR. JOHN M. DOYLE #AB84-301
Ms. McCluskey presented a request for rezone frc~ R-1 to B-2, S.W. corner of
7th and Chester. President Art Anderson asked tb~ standard Conflict of Interest
question. All Council members remained.
Mr. Bob Duffy of the Planning Depart~_nt reviewed Resolution #722, reccm~ending
approval of Rezone frcm R-1 to R-2 unanimously. The purpose is to provide better
parking facilities to their adjoining place of business.
Mrs. Doyle was present to speak in favor of the request. She said they (she
and her husband) would prefer zoning of B-2 which their business is zoned, how-
ever, would be comfortable with R-2. Ms. Elizabeth Buell spoke in favor of the
rezone and stated she is a patient of Mr. Doyle's and would appreciate better
access to the facilities.
Councilman Homing asked would B-1 allow parking without special use permit
and added that the current clinic is zoned B-2. Mr. Duffy stated that parking
tied to a specific use, such as a clinic, is r ..equired by the zoning ordinance
to fulfill the needs of the specific use, such as tb~ clinic, irrespective of
the zone. Parking tied to a specific use in any zone is different than cc~mer-
cial parking which is allowed only in specific zones. B-1 does not allow
c~¥,ercial parking outright or even with a special use permit. Only B-2 - B-3
zones allow c~,t~_rcial parking outright.

SHOBV3JNE PERMIT FOR C~FICE/GARY LINDSEY #AB84-658
Reference Council minutes September 31, 1983, regarding Shoreline subtantial
Development Permit and variance - Lindsay & Loi~, and motion granting same
December 21, 1983.
Mr. Gero and Carol Saari presented a report to the Council concerning the Gary
Lindsey Shoreline Permit, specifically the five (5) foot side setback.
The City Council approved the permit on December 21, 1983, with the condition
of the Shoreline permit requiring a five foot South side setback. Mr. Franco,
adjacent property owner to the South is expressing concern whether the setback
referred to the building or retaining wall. It is not clear in the motion,
meeting of 12/21/83, whether the five (5) foot setback refers to the building
or concrete retaining wall. Mr. Franco's Kin concern is the possible obstruc-
tion of the view and natural light to the lower unit of his apar~%~_nt.
Councilman Homing wanted to know if we needed to schedule and advertise if
we did not substantially change the motion. If we stated, yes, this was the
intent, wouldn't the subject be over?
Mr. Gero stated they were two alternatives; (1) the Council intended when the
motion was made that the structure be setback and that is the decision made
and affirmed. (2) the other option is to direct the Staff, in view of the
information presented in the report, to advertise for a public hearing and re-
consideration of the Shoreline permit.
Councilman Amo asked an opinion of the City Attorney that, since he was not
present at the original decision, should he refrain frc~ participation. City
Attorney Broughton agreed that he should step down.
Councilman Mosely stated no retaining wall was mentioned in the original
presentation. Councilman Mosely brought attention to Mr. Franco's letter, para.
#4, referencing he and Councilman Anderson expressing ligitimate concern that
"constructing a building that close to the existing duplex would block not only
all of the view but the natural light as well"
Councilman Anderson stated he had wanted building to be moved back.
City Attorney Broughton stated t~ Council's intent was for a 5 foot setback,
for the building, however, the motion did not specify the building and results
in some confusion. In his opinion, Council would not need to have a special
hearing, because at the time of issuing the building permit it could require

that the building have a 5 foot setback to approve permit.
Councilman Anderson agreed that there was no mention of the wall and he and Mr.
Mosely still have concern. He does not remember seeing the drawing at the time
of the original decision.
Councilman Homing discussed the property owners right to use his property
and City Attorney Broughton cautioned that since council was discussing merits
of the permit, we needed to schedule a public hearing.

On February 15, 1984, City Council approved an application for Residential

dents from the University of Washinoton as s~..L~r help at an estimated salary
of $4.76 hour, for a sixteen week period. Councilman Sturdivant objected to
