~le use of his p~y ~nsistent with rights ~d needs of the c~ty, ~
~d his right should not ~ i~ringed u~n ~ecess~ily; t~t this ~ ~en ~he atti~de of the

(MId,fillS - CI'iY COUNCIL MEEi'ING, ~[ARCt! l, 1972, Cont.)
total c~rmunlty which demanded certain rezones be granted; however, he stated in this particular
case he di~ln't ~ad that into this picture. I{e stated he could not believe that the benefits -to
the co,unity as a whole would be enhanced by the granting of this rezone; nor, in more emphasis,
would it enhance the people living right a~ound the lake. He stated further that he didn't
believe that the beauty of tlmt lake nor the environmental quality that exists out there, and
which should exist in an improved condition as relates to pollution problems, would be enhanced by
the gr~ting of the rezone.
Mayor Ja~stad co~nented that if the total lake was available to start with, then planned unit
develol~ent to preserve and protect natural growth and the ecolog3j could 1~ accomplished; and
that this type of planned unit development is the way things will be in the future; that the
plan of the l{arlow Barks Company is an attempt to do something which in the future on large tracts
of land will be almmst mandated, to preserve the natural beauty of the land rather than indis-
criminate progress, as has gone in many areas; but he believed the area around Kitsap lake has
l~en so developed in a strictly R-1 zone area and in R-1 type of construction, that this is the
major desire of everyone in the area. Mayor Ja~stad complimented Marlow Burks Company in trying
to rntain much of the openness of the area; but he said he came to the same conclusion as the
other commissioners that there is not the opportunity to have planned unit development anywhere
else around the lake and it would be rather difficult to not go along then and approve other
R-2 requests in other areas and it would in the long-run create apsm.b~ent complexes all around
Kltsap Lake in the a~ea of city control; however, in the areas the City does not control there
would be no control to be exercised by the City.
~otion carried unanimously.
S}{ORELI?~ MD~4AGD~ENT ACT - Harlow Burks Company
Co~ssioner Clark stated as a matter unrelated directly, yet very hard to separate, is action
on the Substantial Use Permit; t]~t as he had moved last week, he would do again; that considering
strictly from the standpoint of what he interpreted the Shoreline Management Act to mean, he did
not feel that the gmanting of a use permit would be in keeping with the intent of the Act; that
as he had stated before, the general character of the enviror~nent would be changed by granting
of that permit; also, the natural characteristics of the area would be subjected to substantial
change and the priority of the single family residences would not be in keeping with the granting
of the pe~rgit.
lbtion by C~lissioner Clark and Mayor Jarstad that the City Council deny the Shorelines Manage-
ment Substantial Development Permit.
Discussion: Mayor Jarstad stated in connection with action taken on the rezone where they had
been talking about density and change in the character of the area, that the question of the
Shorelines permit is a moot issue.
I-iotion carried unanimously.
