hge 1 on
Wily are you applying for this apP(,intment? I believe after serving four years and gaining significant .
knowledge about the planning protes!>, I can be even more effective in a second term. The personal time spent
in developing a new comprehensive plan was significant and I would very much enjoy seeing the process
through to completion. I also am now Vice-Chairman and would enjoy transitioning into the Chairman position
in a year.
Whicb of your personal and/or professional interests prompted you to apply for this appointmeot? 1
moved to this city in September of 1999 and wanted to get involved in local politics. My children were grown
and I felt that 1 could offer my businE:ss and educational experiences to help the community. 1 grew up in the
nursery business and have worked as a landscape designer and installer and I actually thought that a parks
coJIlIllission position would be great fit. As it tumed out, the planning commission needed someone and 1 took
the offer and it bas been a great learning experience.
Have you ever senred on aDy other Bremerton Board~ Commission, CODlmittee or Task Force? If yes,
please list: The Plannning Commissi,on for 4 years
Please list your qualUi4!:atioo5 for tll1is appointmeat (indude skills, activities, training, education): I own
rentals in Seattle and Spokane and hnve been involved in banking and the auto business for many years. The
wealth of business experience and blowing what it takes to be successful in business provides me an important
perspective in the plamnng process. The planning commission that we have now is a good mix of realtors,
architects, planners, retired activists, and business people.
What are your community interests (coDlmitteest organizations, special a~tivities)? I have become involved
in the Dog Park idea. which I think is great. The activities at the Admiral and First Friday are two things that
my wife and I enjoy. We are active in our neighborhood and we are remodeling our home and challenging our
neighbors to improve our locallandsoaping. My goal in every home that 1 have owned is to have the finest yard
in the neighborhood and this one is very close to that goal in the front.
We welcome your willingnes~ to sc!ve Bremerton. For more information please contaot the Mayor's Office at
(360) 473-5266, FAX (360) 473-5883 or via emaH at mayor@cibremerton.wa.us. Please return the completed

RESERVOIR 5 NORTH & SOUTH
ROOF ANCHORAGE
PROJECT SUMMARY
Reservoir 5 North & South was built in 1954. The Reservoirs roof slab is presently
supported on interior columns. According to the Dames & Moore Vulnerability
Assessment Report, dated March 17, 1997, the steel columns supporting the roof slab
indicates that they are not designed to support the lateral loads of the concrete roof slab
and be significantly damaged in a Design Basis Earthquake (DBE). Since the walls are
connected to the foundation, by anchoring the roof slab to the walls the lateral roof forces
will now transfer to the walls. Because the walls have adequate capacity to carry the roof
lateral loads it is recommended according to the aforementioned report that the roof slab
be anchored to the walls.
The Roof Anchorage Project is listed in the 2005 Rate Study list of projects and the 2005

Re: Withdrawal of Bid
City Project No. 4305
Reservoir No.5 North & South Roof Anchorage
Dear Paula:
Regretfully, we advise that our bid for the Reservoir Roof Anchorage project
above contained an error and omission, forcing us to withdraw our bid for the
project.
Our bid total combined was for the $24,852. This total had an error of not adding
the bond costs to the total as well as an omission of $1,368 in costs for epoxy
and high strength galvanized bolts. The correct number should have been
$26,814 had our spreadsheet formulas been correct and if we had included all
our costs. Our bid calculation is attached hereto, documenting the error as well
as a corrected bid tabulation.
We, again, regret our lack of precise handling of our figures and for any
inconvenience this has caused your office.
Yours truly,
JAMES H. ROBINSON COMPANY, INC.

HOME Application - Habitat for Humanity
As you are aware, the City of Bremerton can accept appliCations for HOME dollars at any
time during the year. The City has received an application from Habitat for Humanity for
$565,206.52 to fund infrastructure and soft costs for an 18 unit Planned Unit Development. I
have put the application through a technical review and found it to be eligible and complete.
Our Policy Plan calls for the involvement of DCD staff and the Council member in whose
district the project is proposed, which in this case is Carol Arends, District 7. Both parties
support the project, as does the Mayor. Ultimately the City Council is responsible for making
the final decision.
Our Policy Plan also gives priority to potential HOME projects that promote homeownership.
It is worth noting that Habitat for Humanity successfully applied for $69,000 in HOME dollars
in 2003 to partially fund the land purchase for this project. Since then the project has
expanded to serve 18 low income homeowners from the original estimate of eight. This
application is for funds to cover infrastructure hard and soft costs for the 18 unit Planned Unit
Development on Arsenal Way.
A current accounting of the City's HOME project funds is as follows:
FY 2003:
FY 2004:
FY 2005:
$ 6,468.00
$ 396,788.00
$ 405,594.00
$ 808,850.00
(~ 565,206.52)
$ 243,643.48

Minus potential allocation for Habitat for Humanity:

Who We Are:
~ After their missionary work in Africa building homes for poverty-stricken families, Millard and
Linda Fuller founded Habitat for Humanity in 1976 in Americus, Georgia.
~ Since then, Habitat for Humanity International helped build 175,000 homes worldwide in 100
countries. Habitat is now the 15th largest homebuilder in the United States.
~ In Kitsap County, Habitat for Humanity started as two separate "affiliates," the North building
in Suquamish since 1992 and the South building in Port Orchard since 1994.
~ They merged in 1999 to become one stronger organization. We have built a total of 27 homes
throughout Kitsap County.
~ How It Works:
~ Families are selected through an extensive application process based on their need for
housing, ability to pay and willingness/ability to partner.
~ Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat builds simple,
decent houses with the help of the homeowner family.
~ Habitat houses are sold to partner families at no profit and financed with affordable
no-interest loans. Monthly mortgage payments are used to build more houses.
~ Habitat partner families invest a minimum of 400 to 500 hours of "sweat equity" into
building their houses and the houses of others.

SUBJECT: RAINIER VISTA FINAL PLAT (BP04-00437)
The City Council granted approval to the preliminary plat for Rainer Vista by Resolution 2900 in
August 2003. The applicant, Solid Seven Construction, requested to re-divide a short plat from 2 lots
into 4 lots within a 5-year period. Bremerton Municipal Code Section 20.04.110 requires re-divisions of
short plats within a 5-year period to be processed as a subdivision or plat. In granting its approval, the
City Council found that the application satisfied the criteria for a preliminary plat, was consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan, and conformed to all applicable City development regulations,. minimum
standards and design guidelines.
Pursuant to Section 58.17.170 RCW, final plat approval requires findings of compliance to all terms of
the preliminary plat approval, and that said plat meets all local and state laws and ordinances. The
preliminary plat approval included 6 conditions necessary for final approval. Additionally, a dedication
of a 30-foot right-of-way for future improvements to 31st Street was also required. The City staff
reviewed the final plat and found it in compliance with all requirements. The City Engineer and the
Community Development Directors' signature on the Mylar containing the final plat attest to this review
for compliance. Should the City Council agree with the staffs review, it is recommended that the
Council authorize the City Council President to sign the Mylar containing the final plat so that it may be
recorded with the Kitsap County Auditor's office. If you have any questions, please let me know.

FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS
AND RECOMMENDATION
For Approval of a Preliminary Plat.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATION
The Hearings Examiner recommends to the Bremerton City Council that the request for approval
of a Preliminary Plat to subdivide .96 acres of land into four single-family residential lots be
GRANTED, with conditions.
SUMMARY OF RECORD
Request
Bill Bakker of Solid Seven Construction (Applicant) requests approval of a Preliminary Plat to
subdivide two lots totaling .96 acres into four single-family residential lots. 1 The subject
property is located on the south side of East 31 st Street, 100- feet west of Pawnee Drive in
Bremerton,Washington. The parcels are recorded as Tax Account Numbers 12401-2-181-2006
and 112401-2-151-2007.
, Hearing Date
The Hearings Examiner for the City of Bremerton held an open record hearing on the matter on
July 8, 2003. During the course ofthe hearing, the Applicant testified that the subject property
contained a marsh-like area. He stated that he did not know whether the marsh-like area was a
wetland because he had not had the subject property inspected for that purpose. Because the

Zoning Code-Chapters 20.66 and 20. 70
Bremerton City Council, April 27, 2005
Staff Report/Briefing
Second Initial Zoning Package
Following a public hearing on February 15,2005, the Bremerton Planning Commission
recommends for Council consideration the following new chapters ofthe city zoning
code. The recommended zone chapters represent initial implementation of the 2004
Comprehensive Plan as regards both the core portions of neighborhood centers and
district centers.
The following sections of this staff report summarize the draft zone code amendments.
Neighborhood Center Core Zone (NCC) (20.66 BMC)
The Neighborhood Center Core Zone is intended to be a temporary zone
employed to limit the possibility of development forms that would preclude or otherwise
damage the potential for full centers development at a later date. It would be employed
within a designated core area of each neighborhood center. Final adoption of the chapter
would be accompanied by a zoning map amendment that indicates the boundaries of the
core area of each center. This zone will serve to operate until more detailed sub-area
planning in each center makes it possible to adopt specific zoning for that center
implementing more specific standards, and guidelines as desired by local residents.
It should be noted that The NCC zone forms part of a strategy for initial
neighborhood center zoning that includes designating the remainder of each center RIO
(Low density Residential). The RIO zone, previously considered by the Planning
Commission, included special density provisions that would be applicable within portions
of neighborhood centers initially zoned RIO.
The following sections of this staff report summarize several sections of the NCC
chapter.
Section 20.66.020 Permitted uses
The permitted uses list is a simple list providing for retail, residential, service,
public, financial uses along with supporting transportation and public administration uses.
The section establishes that such uses shall be designed and scaled to be consistent with
the mixed-use pedestrian orientation of the neighborhood center. These expressions of
intent are located at the beginning of each section of similar permitted uses, but supported
primarily by the subsequent chapter sections on dimensional standards and architectural
and site design guidelines. Of particular note is the treatment of residential uses.
Residential uses are allowed only on upper floors of mixed use structures.
Section 20.66.050 Dimensional Standards
The dimensional standards section sets forth setbacks, building coverage
standards, and standards for building height. Building coverage and site coverage may be
increased if specified incentive options are employed. (20.66.050(d)). These incentives
are set-forth so as to encourage mixed-use structures, multi-story buildings, projects with
pedestrian amenities, and parking underground or within structures.
Section 20.66.060 Architectural and Site Design Guidelines.
Simple architectural guidelines apply to mixed-use, commercial, and multi-family
structures. These are intended to be simple initial guidelines that serve to encourage
development that does not damage the potential for more fully realized centers-style
development in the future. It is assumed that more specific guidelines could be developed
after "neighborhood planning" efforts conducted at a future date. Many standards can be
satisfied by employing one or more listed options. (20.66.060).
A section on site design requires that new structures be built at or near the street edge. It
should be noted that they are not required to be mixed-use structures at this time.
Incentives provided in the previous section encourage mixed-use through incentives.
Section 20.66.070 Parking
There is no minimum parking requirement applied in the NCC zone. The section
does establish a maximum parking standard at 1 space per 300 square feet of floor area of
non-residential use. This ratio is the existing ration for many common retail uses today.
This provision simply caps parking for uses that have been required to employ more
intense ratio's than this approximate average ration (from current code).
In addition this section requires that parking shall be to the rear of buildings
facing an arterial. This is supports the trend toward a pedestrian design ethic encouraged
by this chapter.
Initial District Center zone (DCC) (20.70)
The District Center Core Zone is intended to be a temporary zone employed to
limit the possibility of development forms that would preclude or otherwise damage the
potential for full centers development at a later date. It would be employed within a
designated core area of each district center. Pinal adoption of the chapter would be
accompanied by a zoning map amendment that indicates the boundaries of the core area
of each center. This zone will serve to operate until more detailed sub-area planning in
each center makes it possible to adopt specific zoning for that center implementing more
specific standards, and guidelines as desired by local residents.
It should be noted that The DCC zone forms part of a strategy for initial
neighborhood center zoning that includes designating the remainder of each center RIO
(Low density Residential). The RIO zone, previously considered by the Planning
Commission, included special density provisions that would be applicable within portions
of neighborhood centers initially zoned RIO.
The DCC zone is similar to the NCC zone discussed in the previous section of this staff
report. For this reason, the following sections of this staff report summarize only
instances in which the two chapters differ.
Section 20.70. 020 Permitted Uses
The permitted uses list is a simple list providing for retail, residential, service,
public, financial uses along with supporting transportation and public administration uses.
The list includes more intense uses that those found in the Neighborhood Center Core
zone. Of note are the addition of hotels and lodging places, motion picture theaters, and
several types of residential care facilities.
Section 20.70.060 Dimensional Standards
Similarly to the equivalent section in the NCC zone, this section ofthe DCC zone sets
forth setbacks and incentive based standards for building coverage and lot coverage.
Height is increased to 50 feet - as compared to the NCC zone limit of 35 feet.
Section 20.70.060 Architectural and Site Design guidelines.
This section is also very similar to the equivalent section in the NCC zone. However,
there is a feature in subsection B (site Design) not found in the neighborhood center core
zone.
At this time mixed-use structures at the core of the center are not required. However, at
least 30% of commercial structures on the site must be built within 10 feet of a public
right-of-way. In addition these street fronting commercial buildings must be capable
structurally of having at least two additional floors of residential use added in the future
(see 20.70.060(b) (1). This provision is intended to prevent construction of significant
new commercial structures away from the street edge and their related parking areas at
the street edge. Such re-development would significantly harm the potential for
development under a true "centers" design approach for many years to come.
Section 20.70.070 Parking
Parking requirements are the same as in the NCC chapter described above.

parking section for the IDC.
Planning Commission Meeting ...
February 15,2005
Page 1 of6
Paul then covered the Initial District Center (IDe) zone chapter which in many regards is
the same as the INCC chapter with the following exceptions: In the Permitted Uses
section there is the addition of hotels and lodging places, motion picture theaters, and
several types of residential care facilities; in Dimensional Standards, the height limit is
increased to 50 feet; in Architectural and Site Design Guidelines, there is a subsection
outlining requirements of commercial structures in the zone; in Parking, staff suggested
having both the INCC and the IDC read: "For non-residential uses, the minimum
required parking is one space per employee plus one handicapped accessible space. On-
site parking for non-residential uses shall not exceed one parking space per 300 square
feet of floor area. Parking for residential uses shall not exceed two spaces per residential
unit. On-site parking shall be to the rear of buildings facing the arterial street. Access to
parking may be from adjacent non-.arterial streets, or from driveways off of the arterial.
Driveways providing access to parking area shall be well marked. On-street parking shall
be allowed to help satisfy parking needs provided paved street widths provide adequate
room pursuant to city standards for on-street parking:" Paul then read directly from a
handout for additional language to be included to both chapters. The intent is to not set
up a situation where the parking requirement prevents adaptive reuse of an existing
building in either center. Chris Hugo further explained that the change in parking
requirements for the core zones was intended to stimulate growth for small businesses
that may not meet the current parking requirements but would be an asset to the
neighborhood.
Commissioner Streissguth asked for comments from the public. Seeing none, she
closed this portion of the meeting and moved on to Commission statements.
Chris reminded the Commissioners that the Centers Core zones can accommodate
buildings up to 20,000 square feet; without having appropriate parking requirements in
place, a larger business could potentially not have suitable parking.
Commissioner Kosusko asked for clarification on what the maximum or minimum of
setback is. Paul responded that it is in the definitions section; generally, it is measured to
the portion of the building nearest to the street or sidewalk. There was brief discussion
regarding minimum setback requirements for commercial structures in District Centers.
With setbacks clarified, the dialogue moved to how structures with limited lot space be
accessed. Paul suggested reversing the terms so that there is no maximum rear yard
setback, and the minimum will be 20 feet.
There was discussion regarding the minimum of 30% of commercial structures fronting
the street in the Initial District Center Core must be within ten feet of the street. Paul
explained that it would be 30% of new construction and not 30% of all structures, noting
that this is a very modest number. The intent was for lineal feet and it was acknowledged
that additional work on the language was needed.
The dialogue moved to Permitted Uses, especially the topic of similar uses. Paul
explained that the Director can approve a use not listed if it is determined that it is similar
to uses listed. Alluding to the recent event involving a funerary facility in Kitsap
County's jurisdiction, it was decided that funeral services would be removed from the list

of permitted uses III the Initial Neighborhood Center Core zone, 920.66.020(3)(a),
Personal Services.' ....
Commissioner Friedberg-Nerf asked about the omission of hotels, motels, and other
lodging from the list of permitted uses in the Oyster Bay Neighborhood, her concern
being that there are currently several hotel/motels in that area and the possibility of
putting them in a non-conforming status. Paul assured Commissioner Friedberg-Nerf
that a property in a legal, non-conforming status does not affect the value or insurability
of that property; improvements can be made to existing property, but the size of the
building's footprint cannot be enlarged. Leaving this item off the list of permitted uses
will only prevent additional lodging structures from being built.
Chris noted that there is no reference to density in the Initial Neighborhood Center Core
zones and proposed adding the sentence, "... Any residential density shall be allowed to
the limits of the dimensional standards in 920.66.050 and the site guidelines in
920.66.060."
Commissioner Streissguth wondered if this was an appropriate time to include
incentives to prompt low-impact development guidelines. She thought the best location
would be within the Building Code. This is an item Commissioner Streissguth feels the
Commission should be aware of as other bodies of work are moved forward. She
believes the City of Bremerton may be participating in a pilot project with Kitsap County
to come up with recommendations for what will work in terms of incentives to generate
interest in low-impact development. Chris suggested including this item in the middle
section of the Zoning & Land Use chapter which covers land use development
regulations.
There was discussion regarding whether a multi-family residential structure could be
allowed [in the Center Cores] because of the requirement that residential uses only be on
the upper floors of mixed use buildings. It was decided to remove multi-family
residential structures from the list.
Paul moved on to amendments recommended by staff. In 920.66.060(A)(7)(b),
Architectural Guidelines, regarding variations in building heights. It was proposed that
the sentence read, "The inclusion of a building element, the height of which varies from
the remainder of the building by at least ten per cent."
Commissioner Kosusko asked for clarification of the statement, ".. .Building fa<;ades
shall not present a blank facyade to view", wanting to know if that means the side, back,
street side, etc. Paul replied that the intent was to address the fa<;ades other that those that
face the street. He suggested language be added such as, to view from a public right of
way, common parking area, or adjacent residential property, or by employing other
architectural devices. Commissioner Nelson suggested defining what those architectural
devices would be.
Commissioner Kosusko recommended replacing the word "Standards" with
"Guidelines" in 922.66.060.
Planning Commission Meeting
February 15,2005
Page 3 of6
Paul continued with the suggested amendments with ~20.66.060(A)(6). Staff proposed
rewriting to read, "One tree for every twenty-five linear feet (25') of street frontage shall
be planted along a street, and shall be spaced a maximum of thirty-five feet (35') on
center. However, trees may be spaced irregularly in natural groupings rather than
uniformly spaced except as noted elsewhere in this chapter." It was agreed upon by the
Commissioners use staff s recommendation and defer to the neighborhood process.
[Chris Hugo left the meeting at this time.]
Staff then proposed that in ~20.66.060(B)(1),.the term "residential uses" be replaced with
"residential or office uses". There was much discussion regarding this item.
Paul revisited the section dealing with Parking. He read directly from his list of
proposed amendments, explaining points where clarification was needed [copy is located
in the meeting file]. There was discussion of how parking could be accessed :from an
alley, given the nature of alleys in Bremerton. The narrowness of an alley could be
. mitigated though the use of one-way traffic. Commissioner Friedberg-Nerf asked if
alleys are public right-of-ways; Paul said they are.
Paul noted that comments he had received for the Initial District Center Core were
identical to the comments for the Initial Neighborhood Center Core and suggested the
proposed amendments for the IDCC be applied to the INCC as well. Commissioner
Kosusko suggested adding. language to limit building footprint size in the IDeC. Paul
replied that the lackofa maximum building size requirement in this section was
intentional, noting that the intent to control building size was lot coverage. It was agreed
upon by the Commissioners to add language clarifying building size to ~20.70.050(A),
Dimensional Standards.
Commissioner Streissguth asked for staff to .read back the list of proposed amendments.
They are:
Neighborhood Center-
1. Amend ~20.66.050(3) to read, "No maximum rear yard setback. The minimum
setback shall be twenty feet."
2. Remove the phrase "funeral services" from ~20.66.020(3)(a).
3. Rewrite ~20.66.060(A)(7)(b) to read: "The inclusion of a building element, the height
of which varies from the remainder of the building by at least ten per cent."
4. Rewrite ~20.66.020(7) to read: "Density shall be allowed per standards and guidelines
found in ~20.66.050 and ~20.66.060".
5. Amend ~20.66.060(B), replacing the word "regulations" with "guidelines".
6. In ~20.66.060, strike the term "multi-family residential" from the first sentence.
7. In ~20.66.060(B)(I), add the phrase "or office" after "residential" each time it is used.
Also, add language stating that such office or residential uses would be a vested use.
8. Amend 20.66.060(2) to include public art, public display case or board.
9. Rewrite ~20.66.060(B)(2) to make a reference to the current tree standards in the
Landscape code.
10. Add to ~20.66.060(A)(6) the language, "... the view from right-of-ways or common
parking areas" as well as the phrase, "other architectural devices" at the end of the section.
11. Parking section to be amended to make it identical to the District Center.

Please pass the following along to the council members and for comment to the Public Hearing on
Neighborhood and District Center Cores.
******************************************************************
Concerning zoning code in the center cores.
Regulations are needed that would prohibit parking lots being built between residential housing where the
only barrier from the parking lot headlights is a chain link fence with no slats. Example is the newly
established one that Mr. Hugo allowed on the west side of Montgomery between First and Burwell. Please
give this some thought.

Parking Lot
Mr. Knauss:
The Director of DCD has no individual authority to "allow" or disallow anything, as you assert in your em ail
to the Council on the Montgomery parking lot. All such opportunities or prohibitions are provided in the
Bremerton Municipal Code, and no staff or official has any authority to do other than ,as directed by the
BMC.
The subject lot is an outright permitted use in the CD "Charleston District" zone classification that covers
the entire block between 1 st and Burwell, west of Montgomery. The property owner could not be denied
the parking lot use without violating his Constitutional rights. The owner complied with all City plans,
codes, and processes, including Site Plan Review, to develop this lot.
The Council will examine parking lot development standards as it adopts a new zoning code this summer.
Screening of parking areas will be reviewed as a part of the Council's work. We appreciate your
comments about inadequate screening provisions. However, please understand that the block in question
is zoned for Commercial use, not residential. The Comprehensive Plan anticipates that this block will be
redeveloped into mixed uses with higher density housing and more community-serving commercial uses.
The current parking lot appears to be a short-term improvement, and it replaces a derelict house that
sheltered indigent persons.
We will keep your email for the record on the new zoning code.
Thanks.
Chris Hugo, Director - DCD
