LAKE TAHUYA PROPERTY EASEMENT (ZIMMERMAN)
Clerk read memo from City Engineer stating that the road is on city land at the

to the north. The road leaves the city lot to the west and then remains just off the
property and parallels the west llne to the north boundary. He recommended that an
easement be granted for the portion of the road on city property. We would suggest
that the easement be in the form of a triangle with a 30 foot base on the south line
of the city lot and a 400 foot leg on the west line of the said lot.
Motion by Commissioners Stewart and Ssanson to concur with the recommendation of
the city engineer. Under discussion:
Wayne Pace, 2359 Mitchell Avenue, Port Orchard, stated that at a previous
cv~uLlssioners meeting he felt that the commissioners would approve a 30 foot
easement along the west boundary if he had a survey done. The survey is complete
and at considerable expense. He stated that they just want the city easement
in case for some reason they cannot use the existing road. He requested a 30 foot
easement along the west boundary with the condition that it would only be used if
he could not use the existing road. He stated that his piece of land is landlocked.
Jim Root, City Engineer stated that the part of the road on city property has been
used for many years as a public road. Mr. McCluskey stated that the real problem
is thatMr. Pace has sold to Mr. Zimmerman and before Mr. Zimmerman can get a bank
loan he needs to have acces to his property.
Motion by Commissioner Swanson and Stewart that we amend the motion to show a
30 foot easement along the entire length of the property with the provision that
it not be used unless they can no longer use the other road. Mayor Jarstad
addded that if they do use the road the city will get the logs. Commissioner
Swanson stated that they must notify the City well in advance. Carried unanimously.

Am~auen Rezone=
Clerk stated this rezone request was posted and published in accordance with law.
She then read planning commission resolution No. 466. Ken Attebery described
the location of the property on the northeast side of Lebo Blvd. with 160' frontage
on Lebo and approximately 70 ft fronting on Willow. Total area is approximately
22,300 sq. feet or .5 acres. He stated the plan has changed since planning
commission, the number of units is the same (10) but the square footage per unit
is less. There is now parking located under the building with additional
parking on Willow Street side. He explained the surrounding land use and zoning.
There would be at least three levels with the underground parking.
Proponents:
H.J. Ambauen, Rt 1, Box 513, Belfair gave some of his background and community
activities. He stated the height factor was changed because planning felt
there was too much traffic on Willow. He stated that he wants to build condominiums
and that the height is less than a two story duplex would be. Mr. Ambauen
presented a petition signed by 10 people in favor of the 10 unit condominium and
a survey he took of residents within 250' of the proposed project. Ne said
residents stated that they disliked the motorcycle activity on the lot and
blackberry patches. The units will sell between $50 - 55,000 and add to tax
base of the city. Ne discussed the need for more condominium living. He stated
several people were for the project if it could be zoned R-1 rather than R-2.
He read a letter from the Chamber of Commerce encouraging investment in the
Bremerton area and in support of the rezone. Commissioner Stewart asked
what assurance there will be that it will be a condominium and Mr. McCluskey
stated that you can put a restriction on the zoning approval that it will be
only for owners and they must be residents of the unit. Mr. Ambauen stated
there could be a problem with those who only live there six months out of a
year. He stated he could live with a restrict that he had to build a condominium,
which is different from the way rental units are built.
Lance Haynes, Willow Ave., described the difference between construction of
rentals and condominiums. Commissioner Stewart stated that from the poor
response to the advisory ballots it appears alot of people do not care.
Lance Haynes states that he does not have any interest in this piece of
property, he feels it is appropriate to rezone and city is responsible to
have housing for people. The density must be closer to the city where the
utilities are. He discussed the background on that piece of property and
the Sheridan Neighborhood association opposition to development of it. He
stated.that if this is not approved Mr. Ambauen can put up duplexes under
the existing zoning. He stated the proposed plan does not affect anyones
view.
Opponent~:
Lewis Morris, 3304 Lebo stated that he disagrees with Mr. Stewart and that
the neighbors are very interested. They have spent time over, the last three
years discussing this rea. This would be spot zoning. He asked if the height
and set back restrictions in R-2 would be the same as R-1. Ken Attebery stated
they would not be the same. He stated zoning is not to make the city money
and shodd be developed to control the quality of life. · He felt it was too heavya
population density in that area.
Ed Machinski, 321 Lebo stated that at no time did he tell Mr. Ambauen he was in
favor of the rezone. He is only in favor of the condominium if it is in a R-1 zone.
He gave some background on the numberof bdlding permits issued since 1971. He
stated that it appeared many people do not want to build homes in the City.
Commissioner Stewart stated that people cannot afford single family residences
anymore and if they can they build in the suburbs. Mr. Machinski stated that
the city spends too much time on economic growth and not on good living
~2542 Recess to change tape.

CITY COMMISSIONERS ND!ETING

Mrs. H.L. Haven, 343 Hillcourt turned a petition in signed by 32 residents of
the area in opposition to the rezone. The petition was read and is on file
in the City Clerks Office. A letter was attached from Pat Sutherland in opposition
to the rezone. She stated that a year ago the neighborhood made an effort to
contact everyone in-the area and had over 200 signatures against the rezone.
She stated that she does not think that many people have changed their minds
She stated that some people just do not return advisory ballots by mail but that
they do come to City Hall for the hearings. Commissioner Stewart'stated that
he could like to know thefeelings of people through these ballots without
them having been pressured one way or the other.
Pat Carey, 109 B Oak Street, stated ,that the petition that was submitted with
over 20 names on it should count and people have expressed their opinion.
Lance Haynes stated that it is not clear where the people live from the petition.
Mr. Carey stated that many of the duplexes in that area are now single family
residences. He stated that the area ~as down zoned in 1977 and the council
agreed that it should be lo~ density. He felt this would be spot zoning and he
is against the rezone.
Ed Mill, 213 W!llo~ in response to Mr. Stewarts discussion of the ballots
stated that when their is a special election and not enough voters turn out
to validate we do not say that they are automatically for or against something.
~PE 136
~978 Meeting recessed 12:10 to 12:15p.m.
Mayor Jarstad stated that one of the most important aspects of a decision
like this has to be the worthiness of the action of council and keeping
a low profile in the surrounding large recreational area of the city.
That was the decision made when decided the area would be low density R-1.
He stated that the wisdom of that decision is evident. He felt that the
parking was also a problem and these are some of these things we were in
opposition to when we changed the comprehensive plan. His vote is to reject
the rezone request. We must stand by the R-I, iow density for the area that
we determined before. From the testimony heard today and the comprehensive
plan it appears the reasons are still the same. He stated that he wants a
low profile around this area., Commissioner Stewart stated at this time
it appears that most ~people are opposed to the rezone but that with
time that may change. Commissioner Swanson felt that in most cases spot zoning
was unadvisable and not good policy.
Motion by Commissioner Swanson and Mayor Jarstad to concur with the planning
co-~-.ission recommendation of denial of this rezone request.
Under discussion Mr. Ambauen stated that it was a shame that the comprehensive
plan was changed on the basis of the neighborhood groups uproar and that when
the new comprehensive plan is formulated by the task forces it would be a shame
to see that changed too. He stated that he was convinced that this is a super
area for multi-family. He stated that the number of people within 250' on the
opponents petition is out of po~portion. Hayor Jars~ad stated that we are not
telling him what he can do, that he can do what the ordinance says is allowable
in R-1 zoning.
Motion was voted on and carried unanimously.
FLOOD INSURANCE STUDY
Hr. Wes Edens discussed the flood insurance program. He explained that the
government has become involved in indemnifying private propert9 owners for
damages in flood areas. He stated, that this can be expensive for taxpayers and
Congress has been trying to find alternative methods of indemnifying property
owners other than direct reimbursement by the treasurer. In 1972 the Federal
Insurance Administration was created, it created methods for property owners to
insure against flood loss. In 1974 the City of Bremerton filed application to
participate in the Flood Insurance program and was accepted. The amount of
insurance available is up to $35,000. It costs about 25¢ per $100 for insurance
per ~ar. Anyone in a flood area must be covered by flood insurance at least in
the amount of their mortgage or the maximum amount available.
The Mayor left the meeting at this time 12:40 p.m.

CITY COMMISSIONERS MEETING
JUNE 27, 1978

It was stated that there are potential problems along the coastal area.
Having the insurance available is an incentive for people to move to areas that
maybe subject to flood hazard. As part of the application for the program the
City passed an ordinance to control construction in flood areas. A discussion
followed regarding elevation and the areas in Bremerton that are considered
flood hazard areas. Mr. Edens presented Flood PlainManagement Measures
for Unnumbered "A" Zones (no elevations or floodways provided) and Flood Plain
Management Measures for Numbered "A" Zones (Riverine - including elevations).
These are on file in the City Clerks Office. He stated that there are flood plain
management requirements that the city must have to be eligible for insurance.
He presented a model ordinance which satisfiesthe requirements of the flood
insurance regulations and the Federal Act of 1972. The ordinance is intended as
a starting place for cities to satisfy the requirements and it should be tailored
to the cities needs.
Pete Patterson gave a report of the findings of the flood study, tie stated
that there was very little chance of heavy flood damage in Bremerton It
depends upon the amount of construction in the flood zones. He discussed the
varies causes of flooding in the area. Commissioner Swanson stated that last
winter was particularly bad and it does happen periodically. Mr. Edens stated
that the insurance states specifically for an insurable structure. This includes
furniture if it is in an insurable structure. Ken Attebery stated that copies
of the flood insurance study are in the building and engineering departments.
Mr. Edens stated this is a draft study and will be finalized. He will note
any changes the city feels are necessary. There will be a legal publication in
the Bremerton Sun to satisfy the obligation to notify residents and there will
be a 90 day appeal period for residents to appeal. If no appeals we will enter
a six month adoption period and the city will be expected to adopt a new ordinance.

SHORELINE MANAGEMENT b~STER PROGRAM
,e 136 Clerk stated that this was a continued hearing and no additional corresondence
'7 received. Ken Attebery stated that we would get a response from Olympia regarding
the other two amendments in a few days. He stated that Kitsap County stated
that they do not.have any designated number, of feet in their program. D.O.E.
Felt that any modifications would be reserved for them. Ken Attebery presented
the following language regarding setback: "Every (building/structure) shall have
a minimum twenty-five (25) feet setback from the ordinary high water mark,
except that where adjacent setbacks are less than twenty-five (25) feet, the minimum
setback shall be the average of adjacent setbacks. For the purposes of determining
setback an abutting vacant lot shall be considered as having a setback of twenty-
five (25) feet. The setback line shall be measured from the closest point of the
(building/structure) to the ordinary high water mark." He stated that DOE felt
the setback requirement should include decks due to the possibility of their
being enclosed in the future. He stated DOE is beginning to soften in its approach
to variances. Commissioner Swanson suggested modifying the wot ing regarding
adjacent setbacks so that if a setback is more than 25 feet on one side it would
be considered 25 feet. He also asked that the word docks be left out.
Motion by Commissioner Stewart and Swanson to adopt the setback language as
presented and add the language that in no case will an adjacent setback be
considered more than 25 feet, carried unanimously.
