APLICANT: Bremerton School District 300 N. MontGomery Bremerton, WA 98312 LOCATION: The property consists of approximately 10 acres, located northeast of the intersection of Harlow Drive and Carr Boulevard in the Kitsap Lake neighborhod of Bremerton. 158 91 04290094 FINDINGS -- 2 BASED ON THE RECORD DEVELOPED AT THE PUBLIC HEARING CONDUCTED ON FEBRUARY 19, 1991, THE BREMERTON PLANNING COMMISSION ENTERS THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION: · -'/]~D~ OF FAC'F Legal Desc: Assessor's Acct. No: 3719-003-001-00 3719-002-028-01 3719-002-028-02 3719-002-028-03 3719-002-028-04 3719-002-029-00 3719-002-030-00 3719-002-031-00 ~roperty: The site is approximately 10 acres is size and fronts public streets on three sides. ~omp. Plan: The subject area is designated "Residential, 0-7 DU/Ac." Policies within the Comprehensive Plan favor the location of elementary schools and parks within residential neighborhoods where they are easily accessible and will become an integrl part of that neighborhood. ZoninqA The present zoning is "Single-family Residential (SF-1)" This is the City's lowest density residential zone, allowing approximately 3 DU/Ac. This zone does not permit public schools. The "Parks & Schools (PS)" zone was established for that purpose in 1988 and is the district requested by the Schood District. Surroundinqs: North: Low-density large-lot single-family homes along Lyle Avenue and Carr Blvd. Zoning is SF-1. East: Undeveloped hillside sloping steeply downward to Forest Lawn Cemetery. Zoning is SF-1 West: Low-density residential area of mostly single- family homes on large lots. Zoning is SF-2 directly west and SF-3 to the northwest. South: Residential neighborhod of mostly single_~%~[R~T~ro~ homes with a few scattered duplexes and older mobile homes. Zoning is SF-3. 9l 04290094 FINDINGS -- 3 Southwest: The new Dockside on Kitsap Lake subdivision of 146 lots. Few lots have been developed and several homes are under construction. Zoning is CF-3. Reasons for Requests: The subject property was purchased by the school district some time ago in anticipation of a future need for an elementary school to serve this neighborhood. "PS" zoning is necessary for the development of an elementary school. Brentwood Circle was designed as part of an old residential development that was never completed. The configuration of that street Right-of-way amounts to about 1.5 acres and will hamper the design of the school. The request for vacation of that ROW will allow the School District to better design the site for a future school. Comments Received: This proposal was routed for review and the following relevant comments were received: 1. The City and School District need to consider the adequacy of the existing streets to handle the increased vehicular traffic that will be generated by a school facility. 2. The needs for sidewalks and street lighting should be considered. 3. The available options for the financing of needed public improvements should be evaluated, including the ability of the School District to participate. 4~ Look at the possibility of using the street vacation revenue to finance some of the public improvements. 5. The primary concern of the Kitsap Lake Neighborhood Association was for the safety of school children who may be required to walk to school along substandards roads with narrow shoulders, inadequate walking areas, and competing traffic. Local Street Information: ~EE[~87FR ~0 1. The subject site is served directly by Harlow Drive, Lyle Avenue, and Carr Boulevard. All are two-lane paved roadways, without curbs, gutters or sidewalks, and all have drainage ditches on one or both sides. 42'910094 FINDINGS -- 4 2. Rights-of-way of these three streets range from 30-40 feet. Pavement is 17 to 20 feet in width. 3. The most recent and highest traffic count in the area is a 1984 count that showed 841 Average Daily Traffic on Harlow Drive. It is assumed that traffic volumes have increased since 1984, based on continuing development of homes and other activities in the area. Approval Criteria: 1. The rezone request was reviewed for consistency with the REZONE criteria contained in Chapter X, Section 5-B of the Zoning Ordinance. 2. The rezone request was also reviewed for consistency with elementary school locational criteria contained in the reference document "Planning & Design Criteria", which included; (1) Central location within residential neighborhood, (2) Sited to best meet Growing enrollment needs, (3) Trends in household size, and (4) Service radius and pedestrian accessibility. C(3{{C123S I(3{qS 1. This Rezone request is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance criteria for rezone approval. The proposed location is centrally located within an existing and growing residential neighborhood and is consistent with professionally accepted guidelines for school siting. 3. A Phased SEPA Review has been initiated to address the following four specific areas of concern: (a) Storm Runoff (b) Pedestrian Areas and Improvements (c) Neighborhood Compatibility (d) Transportation The data necessary to complete these studies will come with a specific site plan for the site. ~[[[587~ ~6~ 4. The requested vacation of the Brentwood Circle right- of-way is a reasonable request. The ROW was poorly aligned with other streets and, if ever improved, would result in undesirable angular intersections with Carr 0~290094 Boulevard and Harlow Drive. 9{ FINDINGS -- 5 D]~CISIOI~ OF THE ~ ~SSION Based on the record developed, including public hearing testimony and information provided by the applicant and City staff, the Bremerton Planning Commission recommends City Council approval of Rezone RZ-10-90 from "Single-family Residential (SF-1)" to "Parks & Schools (PS) ", and further recommends approval of the vacation of the Brentwood Circle Street Right-of-way within the subject property.
