9:30 A.M. - PUBLIC RECOGNITION
Mr. John Olson, Manager, BCT, stated in response to the request of
the Council some weeks ago, he would like to give his recoF~mendations
for changes based on the information submitted by the Burco Research
report. A recommendation of change was made for the Saturday A.M.
schedule, starting the runs at 6:45 a.m., using one bus for five runs,
saving 65 man hours and 2'700 miles per year. If this is implemented,
handouts will be supplied to bus users for at least two weeks prior
to the change.
Commissioner Stewart said he felt changes should be made but will wait
for next week to make a decision in case the public would like to give
some input. He also felt some changes should be made on the Trenton-
Perry-Wheaton Way run. He complimented the report from Burco Research.
Mayor Jarstad expressed his concern with the express route proposed
in the area of turnouts on Wheaton Way, sidewalk markings, bus shelters
and traffic conditions, beyond Hal's Corner.
Mr. Kurt Lichtenberg, Attorney representing the Briarcliff, stated he
was reque'sting Council to reconsider their decision of last week re-
~00 voking the business license for dancing and entertainment. He did not
feel his clients who had been owners for only 3 months should be penalized
for the mistakes of the previous owners. The loss of revenue to theIn
over the past weekend amounted to over $1500. He stated that Monday
night. Mr. Walt Alloway, Compliance Officer for the City and Mr. Jeff
Knutsen of the Briarcliff had taken noise level readings and they were
compatibl.e at 85 dcb or less, the music was of a rock and roll nature
on a tape player. He was requesting a re-issuance of the business
license with contingency of hourly readings of the noise level, not to
exceed 85 dcb, which he was sure they could maintain since their change
over to soft music. He requested Council to make a decision today on
this request to re-issue the license with contingencies, as Wednesday
was a scheduled court hearing on this matter.
Mr. Walt Alloway, Compliance Officer, stated the testing last night was
not done to live music, but by tape. similar in nature to what had
previously been allowed, the dcb range inside and out at various locations,
ranged from 42 - 85 dcb. When questioned by the Commissioners, he stated
he had been at the location over the past 2-3 years approximately
6-7 times, usually between 11:30 P.M. and 1:30 A.M. for a total of
705 approximately 16-20 hours. This was his first visit since April 1981.
City Attorney Terry McCluskey stated that the council could make a
decision, with restrictions on the license.
Com~missioner Stewart stated this has gone on for two years now and wants
to support the homeowners in the area.
Commissioner Swanson felt the noise problem was to have been worked out
between the Briarcliff and the neighborhood.
Mayor Jarstad stated one of the problems we have to face up to is that
this situation is not uhique at the Briarcliff, just the owners. We
a141 have had a sound specialist in and made recommendations to the Council
regarding soundproofing and felt we had been rather patient in this
matter. He feels we made a decision last week after public hearing
and would stand on it at this time.

of the Planning Department Staff Report to approve with recommendations.
Mr. Dave Krick, 3244 Olympus Drive, stated he would like to have some
time to work with the architect to present a different site plan as

2558)HEARING - Dave Jewell - Amendment to Preliminary Plat
Clerk stated that this hearing had been posted and advertised by law.
Mr. Kenn Attebery, stated the property was Chelsea Plat on Rickey Road
at intersection of E. 29th and the purpose of the request was to allow
duplex structures to be built on 8 lots in Chelsea Plat, rather than
the original request for 8 single family dwellings. He stated that the
Planning Conunission had recommended denial and the Planning Department
had recomh~ended approval with some modified conditions.
Mr. Dave Jewell, developer of Chelsea Plat, said he was here to ask for
amendment to original request due to changes within the area of his
land citing the many duplexes and multi family dwellings in the area
and that it was financially appropriate to go with multi family residences.

DAVE JEWELL HEARING CONTINUED:
Mr. John Ross, 307 E. 29th, stated he read in the Bremerton Sun to
make Rickey Road one way due to density and convenience, and felt to
keep consistent, replat should be denied.
Mr. Vernon Bouton, 2960 Rickey Road, stated he owned property to the
north, stated he was concerned about the drop in value to his property
by all the duplexes going into the area. tie also asked that Mr. jewell
consider some of the alternate proposals recommended for the land use,
and that this request should be denied.
Mr. A1 Fox, 2821 Pine Road, lives adjacent to this property. He was
concerned ~bout storm water as well as the parking situation, and
feels it should be denied.
Mary__Lou Long, 2433 E. Phinney Bay Drive, stated once again we have
problems with zoning and wanted an updated zoning map to eliminate
spot zoning. City Attorney McCluskey advised ~rs. Long to restrict
her comments to this particular rezone request. She stated she felt
the neighborhood should have some right in choice of development and
~eels thi~ proposal is detrimental to the area.
A resident of 295 E. 29th stated he had objection to this request,
stating the quality of the neighborhood should be preserved. He felt
it should go back to the Planning Commission for their review as well.
(595) Mayor Jarstad and Commissioner Swanson directed questions to Ken Attebery
regardin~ the size of the lots and the original.rezone request, and
the alkernatives.
Dave Jewell,stated there was economics involved in land development.
F~els parking can be handled due to larger lot size than what is re-
quired and that he has an alternative to short plat this property and
(680) can still go ahead and have duplexes on it.
Coxr~nissioner Swanson stated we had heard testimony that multi family
dwellings pu~l down property value for the area, he was not sure that
duplexes were that harmful if they were of a high quality.
Motion by Mayor Jarstad and Conunissioner Swanson to deny the request
for amendment to preliminary plat following the recommendations elf
(885) the planning cormnission, carried unanimously.
