She then read ].et%ers from Violet Dale dated Jan. 8, 1978, Pearl and A1 Fretwcll dated Jan. 9, 1978 and Charles R. Ullock dated Jan. 9, 1.978. These letters arc all in opposition to thc amendment anti are on file in 'the Planning Dept. Ken Attebe~, Planning Director, read a memo written by him to the City Council~ dated Jan. 10, 1978, in regard to the proposed amcndmenl; to !lremerton Shoreline Master Program: "Grandfather Clause". The memo stated thc proposed amendment is one which would require that shoreline developments need only racet the require- merits of the Master program which was in effect at the ti~ne ~he City granted that; development a Substantial Devel:opment Permit; that this would not preclude the development from meeting all other zoning, building and engineering requirements which might otherwise be established. The memo gaw~ two types of developments Januar~ 10, 197'8 Page six which would be affected by today's decision and staled there arc two options available: (1) Require that all shoreline developments meet thc Maste~ Program policy and regular:ions at thc time the building per~lt is applied for; or (2) Require that thc Master Pr'ogpam Policy and Rcgulahions applicabt, e to any shore- linc development bc only those which were in effec~ at the time ~mn the develop- merit was granted its Substantial Development Pcrmit. Mr. Attebcry recommcnds Option No. 2. The memo ~;taLcd furhhcr that substanhi, al development permits have two types of time l. Jlnits and Jt listed thc two typcs. There are currently five pcr~ts which are under two years old or have approved extensions and which are not under construction: (1) Lindstrom/l)errig; (2) Person; (3) Weeks; (4) McConkey; and (5) Timkath. The memo recommended the language bo adoptcd as an amendment to the Brcmerton Master Program. Mr. Attebery then read the proposed Master Program Amendment. This is on fi]c, with Mr. Attebez~'s memo, in thc Planning Dept. In response to a question from Mayor Jarstad, Mr. Attcbcry explained that of thc five permits mentioned, the First four wcre issued after thc City had adopted a Draft Master Program in April, 1976 so they were approved based on a Draft Master Progr~n; that Timkath was approved based on State guidelines, tie stated when Dept. of Ecology reviews these dcw~lopments, they are reviewed in light of local Master Programs. lie stated his own research indicates that this particular practice is being followed by most shoreline jurisdictions in the State. Mr. Attebery stated amendments will be made to the Master Program as it will go through an annual review and thcse amendments may affect previously issued permits. A lengthy discussion followed arid Mr. McCluskey stated that this change will:say that the Master Progr~n has to be complied with as it was in existence at the time the City authorized thc Shoreline Development Permit. Commissioner Stewart asked if everyone else w]ll have to comply unless 'the Master Plan is changed and Mr. McCluskcy slated that is correct. Mr. Attebez% stated new applications always comply with the date they are requesting their permit. Mr. Atteber% stated Mr. Ul]ock would prefer to have the date of "vesting" be the date the building permit is applied for' rather than the date thc shoreline permit is approved. Discussion followed on the time limit all. owed befor~ shoreline development permits expire and Commissioner Stewart stated whatever plan is in effect at thc time will have to complied with. Norm Walton, 2518 N. Wycoff, asked Mr. Attebery to name the five developments again and Mr. Attebery pointed each one out on thc map. Copies of Mr. Attebery's memo were distributed to those parties who wanted one. Ralph Erickson, representing Timkath, stated he originally thought there were eleven shoreline development pc~its that were being considered today and n~ asked if this action is taken by the City Council, is it only.the five permits that have been mentioned that are involved. Mr. Attcbery stated the reason he didn't list the other six or so per, its is that each of those are older than two years of age and have not, to his knowledge, made any substantial progress toward construction and are terminated at the passing of those two year's. Alice Maclntyre, 2~22 Wycoff, asked about the permit on Snyder and wondered if it was through. Mr. McCluskcy stated that the permit that was issued to Mr. Green is no longcr valid and if ~r. Green wants to develop that property, he will have to reapply for another permit. PROPONENTS: Paul McConkcy, 134~ Lower Marine Dr., stated he represents Park Place Apartments and stated he believes the amendment that is proposed is a fair approach to the problem because it takes so long from start to finish. Ralph Erickson, representing Timkath, urged 'thc Council to adopt thc proposed amendment. Hc stated his project is going into its sixth year and if it isn't started shortly, it will not be accomplished. He stated he feels ali these projects are good and will be an asset to the City. -6- Januat~ 10, 1978 Page seven OPPONENTS: No~ Walton, 2518 No. Wycoff, stated that any permit issued must conform to City codes and ordinances and suggested that thc building permit be the guide for "vesting". lie stated if a building permit is issued, this means a substantial effort ]las been made anti once a building pemnit is issued, a development should be allowed to go providing all other requirements }lave been met. He stated the Shoreline Management Act is complimentary to the zoning ordinances and stated he strongly suggest thc building permit be the guide and thc cut-off point. Glenn Vockrodt, 1409 Marlow, stated that when a person gets a building permit, he does not have to have his plans completed or have detailed plans. He stated the building permit should bc thc last thing. I{e spoke of the development on Park Place and stated th~s is commercial property abutting residential and it should go through zoning process. }Ie stated he has tried to prevent strip zoning water- front with apartments and feels thc waterfront plan thc City has now is equitable. He stated this plan allows two stories and this should bc adequate for anything along waterfront. )lr. Vockrodt urged thc Council not to change the Shoreline Master Program at this time, to watt until it goes through the regular review period and see what happens then. Mayor Jarstad stated what is being discussed is not changing the Shoreline Management Program at all. except to make a "grandfather" clause in it affecting only these five developments. Mr. Attcbery stated these five will be affected also and in the future any permit granted would bc able to go on to the building permit stage based on the approved permit and not be in a position of having to come back through public hearings to comply with periodic changes in thc Master Program. Commissioner Stewart stated that what they are trying to do with this amendment is to come up with a plan that will bc locked in fbr at least two years and a person knows he will have at least two years on these rules and regulations to develop his pro,ioof. Mr. McCluskey stated he felt this mnendment is the most equitable and he is in agreement with 51r. Attcbery. He stated the City is not giving up thc building pc~nit portion; that an applicant still has %o comply when he applies for the building permit. Mayor Jarstad asked M~. McC]uskey if he saw any effect on "grandfathcring" and this amendment with any other legal problems that have come up. Mr. McCluskey stated he thinks this amendment will aid thc City and keep it out of court. ~otion by Co~i~issioner Stewart and Mayor Jarstad to adopt the proposed amendment %o Shoreline Man~.gement ~aster Program as reco~hmendcd by Planning Dept. Under discussion: ~aycP Jarstad and ~r. McCluskey discussed utilizing the grandfather clause to apply to only the five previously mentioned developments. ~ayor Ja~'stad stated he concurs completely with Mr. Vockrodt abou% some of the developments on the shoreline. Commissioner Swanson stated a building permit should require and will require a complete set of plans. He stated there is a substantial investment in drawing up a set of plans ~'or any substantial dcvclopment and he feels developers too are entitled to some protection. He stated he thinks the investments that have already been made on a commitment by the City have to be considered. Mr. Vockrodt stated when hc mentioned a builder being able to start wi'th partial plans, he was quoting directly out of the Uniform Building Code. Mr. ~cCluskey stated the code says it is up to the Building Dept. and a person can start with strietly a founda- tion plan if the Building Dept. allows him to do that. Commissioner Swanson stated it would not be the policy of the City to start a substantial development, particu- larly on the shoreline, with a set of foundatiofi plans. Question was called and motion carried unanimously.
