DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT Gary Sexton brought the Council up-to-date concerning the work that has been done since the last Council Yearing by the advisory committee which was to come up with a specific plan and implement that plan. Through a series of steps in a process, he met with four developers jn Seattle, representing probably the major developers in the Western United States. Also met at that time with a man who has done planning for many malls. Certain problems to be resolved came up, one of which Ls the parking problem and the requirement of about 4 1/2 spaces for a thousand square ft. of tenant space. The question indicated there are different needs fop different tenants. Also another problem to be resolved is the question of how many levels a mall should have and possibly are considering two levels. Another problem to discuss was the base cost of the ]and and establishing the base. A further problem was the discussion regarding tenant layout. The question of establfshing the phase and the cost was discussed. Mr. Sexton indicated that development could go up to sixty or eighty million dollars and there is very substantial expense to get lnto that stage. An expense of three or four hundred thousand dollars shouJd be spent to get to the actual stage of construction. Mr. Sexton stated he recognized it was not feasible to come up with that many dollars. The committee has come up with Phase I, the preliminary intent, establishing the minimum of the major components; what the City would -2- CiTY COUNCIL MINUTES October 5, 1977 Page three require and what the genera/ public would like to see in the mall than whether the specific requirements would bring in major tenants. Also they have discussed the needs of the present major owners and the tenants downtown. Then there has to be developed a "working document". In consideration of going to the anchor tenants, must make a specific factor and make a layout of that. To establish a basic plan, they have met with Mr. Archuletta (sp?) as well as other tenants and our advisory committee is going to ask the City to consider Mr. Archuletta to work out a basic drawing. First they do a thorough review of the downtown area taking into consideration the downtown location of the Shipyard and the ferry, the streets and accesses, then the attitude of the City Council. Mr. Archuletta has done most of the major malls on the west coast. As a second part of that, one of the major considerations is the consideration of major anchors. Mr. Sexton stated they have been working with a man from Caldwell Bankers, who are the largest leasing agencies west of the Mississippi. He stated he met with Bob Hatch, a redevelopmerit leader who is in position to make contacts as to what they might need to bring in specific tenants. The cost factor will be approximately $100,000.00. After substantial amount has been put out, who is going to put out that money? A new organization to involve the downtown community is being established and they are going to bring in a proposal next week to see about raising the money and to see if they can get a statement of intent from all segments. Today Mr. Archuletta will be in town as will be Bob Batch from Caldwell Bankers. Mr. Sexton stated he had been designated to be with them from noon today until about 7:00 P.M. discussing with them and walking the area with them as they want to do their own assessment. About 7:00 P.M. they will be meetkng at the Great Northwest Building to generally discuss and tell what their thoughts are from their looking around today. They will probably state whether it is possible and how it can be carried through. Mr. Sexton stated finally that there has to be a specific plan and a need to talk to anchor people and then see if they are going to go with the development. Commissioner Stewart entered the meeting at 9:38 A.M. PUBLICATION OF SUMMARY OF CERTAIN ORDINANCES Clerk explained that as of June 9, 1977 cities amd towns were authorized to publish a summary off ordinances that are approved instead of the fmll text of them, with the exception of ordinance provisions in regard to (]) taxation, (2) penalties, or (3) containing a legal description of real property, which are required to be published in full. Clerk then read memo from Asst. City Attorney McCluskey, dated Sept. 28, 1977, which suggested that the summary of the ordinance be prepared by the Clerk's office; that the City Attorney's office would review the initial proposed summary on the first ordinance done by Clerk's office; then they would rev~ew the summary on a request basis. Motion by Commissioners Stewart and Schoneman to attempt this policy to publish a summary of certain ordinances in order to clarify the ordinances.

This would include the Water Shop on Warren Ave., Municipal Garage on 17th, and Street Dept. on Sheldon and estimated to take five or ten years for the re]eta- tiers. These buildings should be taken out of residential areas and placed where they can benefit by being closer to the mechanical shop.

Extended sympathies on the passing of Commissioner Stewart's mother and also John Plouf's passing. He and John Plouf had an excellent opportunity to share with each other for about nine years concerning problems of the Police Dept. and the general public.

TAPE 118 ROBINSON ANNEXATION MEETING 1900) Clerk read memo from Planning Director, dated Oct. 5, 1977, which stated that the annexation being discussed is a request to bring into the City a 7 1/2 acre parcel which lies north of East 30th and west of Rtckey Rd. with a common boundary with the current city limits only on its south line. The memo listed the three issues which must be discussed and acted upon by City Council and stated the meeting is a requirement of State annexation law before the actual 75% annexation petition can be circulated. The memo stated further that prior to actual annexation, the matter must be approved by the Boundary Review Board. Clerk stated a letter had been sent to the petitioner informing him of the rneeting today. -5- CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 5, 1977 Page six Ken Attebery, Planning Director, using a map discussed the proposed area which is a 7 1/2 acre parcel under single ownership. The only line whLch is contiguous to the City is the south end of the parcel. The access is from Sylvan Way and there is a portion that could be served by a proposed road through the Branch property. He stated in looking over the Boundary Review Board's criteria, it seemed to him there are some other alternatives. One would be to leave that county area. The second alternative would be to annex additional area. He believed this could be rejected by the Boundary Review Board if the lines were not straightened out. Mayor Jarstad commented that the hard-core group in the area are opposed tc annexation and they would not sign a petition. He believes the group will deny someone to the west the services of the City of Bremerton. Mr. Attebery stated he had some contacts with people in the greater Sheridan area and he has put them in touch wLth Mr. Branch. Mr. Branch has chosen to pursue annexation on his own and Mr. Robinson is very likely pursuing it the same way. Commissioner Schoneman asked if this wouldn't be considered spot annexation and maybe there should be a complete layout of the entire area so the people could look at the area and the general plan. Mr. Attebery stated a comprehensive plan would certainly serve the people better in the long run than a piece- meal approach. Commissioner Schoneman asked about east and west roads and stated if it were to be built with cul-de-sacs, it would be confusing with police and fire calls. Mr'. Robinson spoke in favor of the annexation and stated he realized this is spob zoning but he would l. ikc to annex so he can develop the ]and and the City would have to approve the plans. He stated the people next door have approvcd putting in a 60-ft. road down the west side of his property. He stated he would have to develop on septic banks in the County and it would be a he[Ser-skelter' development rather than in the City with a plan. He stated they have a tentative plan and a road projected through and a north-south road. He said he dropped part of the area off at the north because it would create an is]and in the County. There is an owner there who does not want to come in. Mayor Jarstad stated he would recommend going all the way to Sheridan Road because there are problems up there with police calls off Pine Rd. The law is that ~here shall be no islands included. Mr. T. J. Drake of Phinney Bay, spoke somewhat against annexations because it increased the burden on the City residents, expecia]ly concernLng sewage. Cornmls- sionen Schoneman and Mayor Jarstad both spoke about the by-pass line on Pine Rd. which will etiminate the sewage situation. Commissioner Stewart spoke of some of the benefits of annexation to the residents of the City from the basis of economics. tie also discussed the future expansion of the wastewater treatrrlent plantand the increased capacity which will be ava:i]abLe by 1980. Motion by Commissioners Schoneman and Stewart to approve the annexabion as presented. Under discussion: Commissioner Schoneman stated Mr. Robinson should see if he can get a road into that area. He stated that the r'oad planning may not be final but by bringing this property into the City, planning of Lhe land can be determined by the Planning and Engineering Departments on the road system. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Commissionens Stewart and Schoneman to require the assumption of a]] existing City indebtedness, carried unanimously. Motion by Commissioners Stewart and Schoneman that the City wL1] require the simultaneous adopbion of the exisbing comprehensive plan and R-] be adopted fop the area on annexation, carried unanimously. -6- CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 5, 1977 Page seven CONTINUATION BREMERTON SHORELINE MANAGEMENT MASTER PROGRAM HEARING; Clerk read memo dated Oct. 5, 1977 from Ken Attebery, Planning Director, which stated the Master Program is now in a form which the Planning Dept. can recommend be adopted; that he had met with Mr. Vocknodt and Mr. Ullock and their comments were incorporated into the programl docu- ment except height/setback requirements and pier/dock-length/density standards. Memo recommended these two issues should be placed on the agends fcr the first program review period which will start immediately after adoption of the program as these two issues are probably the two most complex areas of shoreline regulations. It noted that the Zoning Code and the Shoreline Management Act contain setback and height standards, which two laws are applicable simultaneously with the Master Program and their provisions apply equally. Lengthy discussion followed surrounding the points brought out by Mr'. Attebery. Mr. Illann Vockrodt, 1409 Marlow, insisted that some standards should be placed in the document now and thus find out from possible complai. nts when they are app]led whether the regulations should be modified. This could occur during the review period. Mr. Ted Drake of Phinney Bay also was involved in the discussion with Mr. Vocknodt, the Commissioners and the Planning Director. It was finally agreed that the Master Program should include that Qhere would be a 28 ft. setback and lot area could only be covered to 60% in width. Discussion was held concerning set- back from the water. The motion that follows covers the desires of the Dart]as for inclusion in the Master Program. Motion by Mayor Jarstad and Commissionen Schoneman that the height limitation and buildings on the waterfront be two-story, not to exceed 25 Ft.; that the minimum setback on the waterfront will be 28 ft. or an additional length to be provided by the Planning Dept. and the City Attorney's office that will make it in conformance with the contour of existing buildLng structures on the waterfront; that the width covering of the building will be established at 60% of the width of the lot at the building line, and there will be at least an annual review, carried unanimously.
