He stated surrounding land use is low density residential and commercial, with much of the hillside undeveloped. He stated further that access is planned on Herlow Dr., but the Fire Dept. is desirous of a second way in and out of the site; that the applicant has prQposed a secondary access which will link the site with Werner'Rd. Jim Root, City Engineer, stated it was marginal, but there was room for ingress and egress off Harlow Dr.; that from the time a vehicle comes into sight until it gets to the point of ingress and egress is six seconds and a vehicle should be able to get across the street in six seconds. He discussed the sight distances and stated visibility could be increased by trimming on Herlow Dr. He stated it would be better if access could be on Kean; that this would make a better and safer entrance and exit. Jack Horton, Deputy Fire Marshall, stated six seconds to get into the proposed area is marginal for the Fire Dept.; that fire trucks do not move that fast. He stated he sees the possibility of accidents where visibility is that marginal. He stated that access onto Keen instead of Harlow would be to the Fire Department's advantage. He stated they would also prefer to have the road go through to Werner Rd. Hearing recessed for bid opening.

BREMERTON AUTO CENTER REZONE HEARING (continued) PROPONENTS: Dean Blount, representing Bremerton Auto Center, discussed the proposal using an aerial!.photograph. He showed slides of the area and stated there will be a buffer of natural vegetation. He stated they do not want to create an undue burden on the neighbors; that the structures will be sitting down in a draw and CITY COMHISSIONERS' MINUTES June 19, 1979 Page six they will not be-visible from the residences. He stated they plan to retain 60% of the site in natural vegetation; that this will buffer the adjoining properties from the development as well as buffering the area from the commercial zone. He stated his clients have no problem xegarding the conditions set forth by Planning Commission; that they feel this is a good use of the land. He stated they are willing to reduce any potential traffic hazard by designing an inter- section at right angles to that corner and toenhance the sight distance of the hill; that some of the trees that appear to be in the right-of-way on Harlow could be either pruned or cut; also could have access on Werner Rd. He stated that whatever access point is decided upon, it will be designed and built to .the satisfaction of the City Engineer. Cgmmissioner Stewart asked if he planne~ to have a cul~de-sac or if he would have access on both sides and Mr. Blount replied there would be access on both sides. Commissioner Swanson asked if he had looked any further at the suggestion that he have the northern access onto Kean rather than Rarlow and Mr. Blount stated Mr. Bennett is reluctant to give up his right-of-way through his car dealerBhip; that property is owned soley by Mr. Bennett, not the Auto Center. He stated this access would also mix residential traffic with commercial traffic; that they prefer to stick with the access on Harlow since it does meet City standards. OPPONENTS: Jim Strait, Kitsap Lake Neighborhood Association, stated one of their major concerns is that visibility is minimal on Harlow Dr. He stated Harlow is not wide enough for too much more additional traffic; that it is extremely dangerous now and he is afraid there will be some serious accidents andinjuries. He stated the neighbors want at least a 25-ft. green belt and a fence to protect their property and privacy. Marilyn Moen, 108 Sunnyhill, stated access on Harlow will be highly dangerous for children; chat she would like to see a 50-ft. green belt. She stated a fence would also help. Helen Reynolds, 102 Sunnyhill, discussed the traffic on Harlow and stated most of the cars go 40 or 50 mph. She stated there should be two roads going in and out of the complex. She stated further they would like to have a fence erected and then the green belt to protect their property. Mayor Jarstad explained that the Council could not request that a fence be built before the green belt; that would be like the Auto Center giving the residents part of their property. Commissioner Stewart stated the Council cannot legally ask the owners to fence it on their property and let the residents have the green belt. Mr. Blount stated that traffic coming out of the site will not be goimg up Harlow Dr.; it will be headed down the hilt. He stated he does not see that a develop- ment on this site will have much of an impact on Sunnyhill. Commissioner Stewart asked if he had any objection to erecting a fence and Mr. Blount stated a fence would reduce the screening and it would be expensive, but if the Council wanted a fence, his clients would put one up. Commissioner Swanson stated he is more concerned with the driveway location on Harlow; that he feels people will use Harlow to get to Kitsap Lake. He asked what could be done to make that intersection easier and safer since it is a minimal situation. Mr. Blount replied that the intersection can be designed as carefully as possible and they can clear it to improve the sight distance. Mr. Blount then suggested that a pedestrian easement northern portion of Mr. Bennett's property might be the answer. Motion by Mayor Jarstad and Commissioner Swanson to approve rezone from R-1 to R-2 subject t6 first seven conditions set forth by Planning Commission and the following: (8) Prior to the issuance of the building permits for any of the units on the site, access shall be guaranteed in fact or in writing from the site to i~raer Rd.

A lengthy discussion was held regarding the play area at Smith School and it was the consensus of the neighbors that they did not want organized sports. They felt the area should be safe~ open and available at all times and entirely self- activated, completely free from organized activities and the need for parental or City supervision. Ray Foley, Parks Superintendent, stated;after many.~discus- sions with the Smith Neighborhood, he concurs that this is not the place for a large playfield. He suggested that the City utilize professional park planners to get the most and best use of the area. He stated that his department concurs with the neighborhood plans. Motion by Commissioners Stewart and Swanson to approve advertising for Park Planner for development of the park at Smith School,~carried unanimously. -7- CITY COMMISSIONERS' MINUTES June 19, 1979 Page eight Discussion was h~ld regarding Evergreen Pool and Ms. Donley stated that the Smith Neighborhood recommended that it be rehabilitated. Mr. Foley discussed his memo to Mr. Attebery, dated June 15, 1979, whidh stated that the Parks Dept. does not feel that it is in the best interest of the City to expend any monies for the pool rehabilitation. This letter is on file in the Planming Dept. He stated Evergreen Pool has always shown a deficit and they are trying to break even on the new pool. He suggested that the $35,000.00 which was ear- marked for pool improvements be used for one of the following: (1) Complete demolition of the pool, with the area being deyeloped into a children's park, creative play yard or tennis facility; (2) Extensive street tree planting for the Smith Neighborhood; (3) New restroom building and other park improvements to Evergreen Park; and (4) Enlarge, imp.rove or staff the Smith School gymnasium for neighborhood and community use on a year-rOund basis. The neighbors felt rehabilitation of Evergreen Pool was a priority and they felt it best to take this back to their Neighborhood Association for discussion before making a decision. It was suggested that some of the money be used to arrange for transportation for the young people to utilize the new pool. Ms. Donley reviewed the costs for the second year of the Block Grant. She stated the Planning Dept. recommended that the second year projects be approved at this point but that allocation of the funds be refined.

Mr. Attebery then presented Proposed 1979-1980 Housing Assistance Plan which showed a greater number for rehabilitation of rental units than rehabilitation assistance for homeowners. Ms. Wilson explained that Smith Neighborhood felt there should be more assistance to homeowners, rather than absentee landlords, but HUD says you have to deal with a need and it appears the City does not have that kind of leeway. She explained there is a need for rehabilitation of rental units. The neighbors indicated they would like some way to make sure these absentee landlords are forced to maintain their property once it is rehabilftated. Commissioner Stewart explained how difficult it is to enforce a minimum maintenance ordinance.

Mandio, City Clerk Approved: -8- Fire Dept.: The length of the cul-de-sac is extreme, therefore, the proposed road to Werner Road shoul~ be built. See Uniform Fi re C~4, Ord. #3428, Sec. 13.208(a). The only fir~ .ydrant is at Ist and Kean and ,uld not be adequate for fire protection.

Compliance Officer: No objections. 8. The sloping site which ls wooded offers an excellent opportunity to provide a development which is well screened from adjacent uses. Land use to the east and north is mainly heavy commercial use located below the site end will be partially screened by on site vegetation. The residences along Werner Road (south) and Sunnyhill Road (west) are offered good screening by on-site vegetation which is proposed to remain and by the differences in elevations; the site is below the residences which front on Sunnyhill Road.
