COMMENTS BEFORE THE BREMERTON CITY COUNCIL
by Helen Miller, Bremerton
IN THIS PERIOD WHEN MOST RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS ARE WORKING TO
REVITALIZE OUR CITY, WHILE MOST OF US ARE TRYING TO STAFF THE CITY
WITH THE BEST TALENT A VArLABLE ...... THE RECORDS OF SEVERAL RECENT
CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSIONS IDENTIFY A VOICE REPEA TEDL Y RAISED IN
STRENUOUS AND CONTINUING OPPOSITION TO MR. JOHN ALES' BEING
ACCEPTED FOR THE CIVIL SERVICE AND ARTS COMMISSION. MR. ALES AS WE
KNOW WAS A RESPECTED RECENT CANDIDATE FOR THE CITY COUNCIL FROM
DISTRICT THREE,
IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT SUCH CONTINUING POINTED OBJECTION TO A
SINGLE INDIVIDUAL CANDIDATE RAISES THE SPECTER OF A CITY COUNCILMAN'S
USING HIS OFFICE IN AN ABUSIVE MANNER, TO ENGAGE IN A ONE SIDED GRUDGE
MATCH ..... AT THE CITY'S EXPENSE.
SUCH DOGMA TIC BEHAVIOR IS, PRIMA FACIE, IMMATURE AND LACKING
IN PROFESSIONALISM.
SURELY THE CITIZENS OF OUR COMMUNITY ARE ENTITLED TO A
REASONED ADUL T BEHAVIOR FROM THEIR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES - WHO
OSTENSIBL Y HAVE BEEN ELECTED TO REPRESENT THEIR CONSTITUENCIES AND
THEREFORE TO STAFF THE CITY WITH THE BEST CANDIDATES AVAILABLE.
WHAT DO YOU SA Y MR. BROCKUS ?

. The updated regional strategy will, at a minimum, ...c1arify
aspects of the vision, emphasize efficiency, establish
priorities, and reinforce the concept of a common purpose in
the region's many stakeholders.

of containing the expansion of urban areas, conserving
regional farmlands, forests, and open space, supporting more
compact, people-oriented living and working places, and
focusing a significant amount of new employment and
housing into vibrant urban centers.

leadership to coordinate efforts to provide the resources necessary to support
the needs of a growing population.
. The growth vision will also ai/ow the region to take the necessary putilic policy
steps to tiend growth trends, if necessary, to promote the desired growth
pattern. It will provide regional guidance to future work on countywide growth
targets, countywide planning policies and local comprehensive plans.

Each alternative likely to have impacts - both adverse & positive.

impacts common to all. No magic bullet. Mitigation is key.
Alternatives present complex tradeoffs. For example, some
alternatives may expose more people to higher levels of noise and
polluted sites. but keep growth away from pristine areas.
Metropolitan Cites (Alt. 2) & Larger Cities (Aft. 3) have more potential
Impacts on people and/or services. Growth Targets (Alt. 1) & Smaller

Highest levels of potential exposure to
localized traffic. air pollution, noise and

Lowest levels of regional vehicle use.
higher transit ridership; lower levels of

6A - FIRST OF 2 PUBLIC HEARINGS ON FIRST AMENDED CONCESSION AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE CITY OF BREMERTON AND OLYMPIC SOCCER & SPORTS CENTER. LLC [NO
COUNCIL ACTION IS EXPECTED UNTIL THE 2ND PUBLIC HEARING SCHEDULED MAY 17.20061
(#AB06-097): Ken Baawell, Assistant City Attorney, explained that the City and OLYMPIC SOCCER &
SPORTS CENTER currently participate in a concession agreement relating to soccer fields at Pendergast
Park. OLYMPIC SOCCER & SPORTS CENTER desires to construct an additional indoor soccer field and is
requesting additional space for its facility. The proposed agreement amends the concession
agreement by adding space to the concession area and updating other provisions of the contract. It
was stated that two Public Hearings are required before Council action, so there will not be a vote until
the second Public Hearing that is scheduled May 17, 2006.
There were no comments from the public.
6B - PUBLIC HEARING AND ORDINANCE NO. 4971. AMENDING SEVERAL SECTIONS OF THE
ZONING CODE. TITLE 20 OF THE BREMERTON MUNICIPAL CODE (#AB06-098): Nicole Ward,
City Planner with the Community Development Department, summarized that the action before the
Council is to conduct a public hearing and adopt Ordinance No. 4971, amending several sections of
the Zoning Code, Title 20 of the Bremerton Municipal Code. She explained that a new zoning code
was adopted in December 2005, but because of some minor issues, therefore this ordinance was
drafted to resolve them. 80% of the amendments in the ordinance do not change the intent of the
code. Their purpose is to clarify, refine, and make the code more understandable. Examples of these
changes include: Clarifying the application window for comprehensive plan amendments; Simplifying
drive through lane requirements; Adding necessary definitions; Refining how we round fractions; and
Revising our density calculation
This ordinance also adds 3 new provisions which will:
· Allow for a broader variety of signs in downtown
· Allow non-conforming structures to expand up to 20%, so long as they do not become any
more non-conforming, and
· Allow schools in the R-10 zone an additional 10' of height through the use of a CUP and
increased setbacks
It was explained that these amendments have been reviewed by the Planning Commission and
received a unanimous recommendation for approval; and that other staff amendments that were
without Planning Commissions recommendation were removed and are not a part of this ordinance.
Helen Miller asked if all the sections requested to be removed by the Council were indeed removed.
Chris Huao, Community Development Director, confirmed that they were.
Mr. Wofford stated that he was in favor of these propo~ed amendments, but expressed his concern
with the section that would exempt single family residents from shielding their trash containers in their
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
Wednesday, May 3,2006
Page 3 of 4
front yards, which he thought was detrimental to the beatification of Bremerton, and therefore would
like to see this issue addressed in the future.
Mr. Brockus had concerns with the number of dwelling units per acre, specifically, where a large multi-
family unit has been before, then the zoning was changed to R-10. He questioned whether this
change could be used to put in more multi-family apartment buildings where they shouldn't have been
allowed in the first place. Mr. Huao responded that could not be done because there were probably
already more units than is allowed; and multi-family homes are not allowed in R-10 zones.
6:09:42 M/S/C (PriesUMaupin) Move to pass Ordinance No. 4971 to amend several sections of the
Zoning Code Title 20 of the Bremerton Municipal Code.
Voted in favor of Motion: Priest, Robinson, Arends, Maupin, Wofford, McConnell
Voted opposed to Motion: Brockus
Motion carried: 6-Yes; 1-No
7 A - PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH PARAMETRIX. INC. FOR PORT
WASHINGTON NARROWS BEACH SEWER. BOARDWALK. AND EVERGREEN PARK
EXPANSION PROEJCT (#AB06-073):Phil Williams,presented a Power Point presentation to explain
that the existing sewer main located in the beach below Washington Street is prone to failure and
requires replacement. Several options for replacing the pipe have been identified. The preferred
alternative would construct a new sewer main in conjunction with an extension of the existing
boardwalk to Evergreen Park. This Contract provides for public involvement, pre-design, permitting,
and design of the new sewer main, extension of the existing boardwalk, and re-development of the
former Chevron Property into an expansion of Evergreen Park. The requested action before City
Council is approval of a contract with PARAMETRIX, INC. for Professional Services, an increase in the
Wastewater budget of $346,750 and authorization of a new budget Fund (Boardwalk Project) for 2006
with budget expenditure approval of $603,250.
Don Larson would like to see the City pursue an underwater park as part of this project.
Mr. Maupin asked if any retail outlets were planned along the boardwalk. Mr. Huao stated that
considerable discussions have taken place on this issue, but currently, the Comp Plan does not
support retail in that area.
Ms. Priest was excited to see this project move forward; and asked when it is expected to start. Mr.
Williams responded that he would only be guessing at this point because of the coordination required
with multiple entities such as the Navy and National Parks.
6:28:25 M/S/C/U (PriesUBrockus) Move to approve the Professional Services Agreement with
PARAMETRIX, INC. for the Port Washington Narrows Sewer and Public Access Project, and to authorize
the Mayor to finalize and execute the necessary documents in substantially the same form for this
agreement; move to amend the 2006 budget
COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS
