· DOMINOE'S PIZZA REZONE HEARING
Acting City Clerk stated this hearing had been advertised, posted
and letters of notification sent as required by law. Planning
Commission Resolution No. 579 which recommended denial of this
application was referenced.
Ken Attebery, Planning Dept., explained the location of the rezone
site, stating the existing building use to be a grocery store.
The Planning Commission recommended denial of Dominoe's request
for rezoning because of specific policy prohibiting commercial
dwellings on Warren north of 8th; site is reasonably flat; and
there are parking problems on 15th. He stated that this is the
first rezone before the City Council since the comprehensive
plan has been adopted.
Mr. George Crider, Parkshore Real Estate, representing Dominoe's
Pizza, stated that with the addition of a parking lot, 6 additional
parking stalls would be available, and Dominoe's would beautify
the area with landscaping. He stated that since Dominoe's
policy was for employees to drive their own cars for delivery,
their drivers would be more cautious.
Acting City Clerk read letters in opposition to the rezone.
These letters are on file in the Planning Department.
The following individuals of the six present opposing the rezone
were as follows:
- Jeannette Benson, 1507 Warren
- Isabelle Archibald, 1340 Warren
- Louise Shingleton, 1333 & 1512 Warren
- Bruce Houshel, 1341 Warren.
It was the concensus of the group that the rezoning be denied
because of the problems due to parking, speeding violators,
heavier traffic flow, litter, additional noise at late hours,
and other businesses coming into the area.
City Engineer, James Root, stated there have already been three
accidents involving 2 pedestrians crossing Warren from west-east
and with the heavy flow of customers, more could occur. The City
Commissioners discussed the Olympic College bypass which will
aide some of the traffic problems.
Motion by Mayor Jarstad and Commissioner Stewart to deny appli-
cation for Dominoe's Pizza Rezone, carried unanimously.
Meeting recessed 11:30 a.m. until 7:00 p.m., Wednesday, November 12,

tration Building, Burwell & Montgomery Streets, Rooms A&B.

presiding. Also present were Commissioner Stewart and Clerk Mandio,

FINAL BLOCK GRANT HEARING
Ken Attebery, Planning Director, reiterated on the October 16, 1980
meeting stating the purpose of that public hearing was (1) to
obtain views and proposals from the public and City departments
on community development and housing needs and priorities; and
(2) to obtain comments on the City's community development per-
formance to date.
The Planning Department and Block Grant Coordinator, Colleen Donley,
have reviewed the application guidelines and the many projects
recommended by the public and in-house departments and, therefore,
will submit to HUD on November 17 a single-purpose block grant
application for the period November 1981-October 1982 in the
amount of $600,000. The project areas for this grant include
southern portions of Charleston/National and Smith neighborhoods.
A breakdown of the grant application was distributed.
A lengthly discussion followed concerning the $8,000 allocated
toward assistance to the Bremerton/Kitsap County Housing Referral
Service. Michael Hosea, 1544 Elizabeth, expressed concerns of
trustworthiness of landlords along with duplications of efforts
for referral service.
Glenn Vockrodt, Chairman, Bremerton Area Council of Neighborhoods
(BACON), 1409 Marlowe, expressed concern that Smith and Charleston
neighborhood received the block grant funding last year, but did
feel that the furnishing of free paint would stimulate homeowners
to take more pride in their homes.
Mayor Jarstad and the Planning Department representatives, along
with Mr. Darrell Griek, Director of New Housing Programs,
explained that certain guidelines must be adhered to before the
HUD application can be submitted. The designated project area
fit within these guidelines.
Mr. Del Christenson expressed concern regarding the sidewalk at
Farragut and Yantic. He stated this sidewalk is used by children
on both sides of the street going to Marion Avenue School and
is usually kept mowed. He wondered if the block grant would
help to put a sidewalk in. Commissioner Stewart ask him to
contact Jerry Thornberg, Engineering Dept., since this was a
matter the City could act on by L.I.D.
City Clerk read, "A RESOLUTION No. 1880 authorizing the filing
of a final application with the Department of Housing and Urban
Development, United States of America, for a Single Purpose Block
Grant under the Small Cities Program of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974, as amended, Title I, Subpart F."
Motion by Mayor Jarstad and Commissioner Stewart to pass
Resolution No. 1880, carried unanimously.
