3. CITIZENS COMMENTS (Time Stamp: 02:32)
John Gish, spoke to the ADU amendment and questioned the rules about living on the property for
at least 6 months out of the year, and how that relates to a 20-unit apartment complex.
Chris Hutchison believes it is not the resident's responsibility to pay for the Bethel Road project as
the people who would most benefit would be the businesses. It should be their responsibility to pay
for the project. Also, people are not in favor of the 2 roundabouts and there should be more time to
evaluate the cost of the entire project.
Anthony is curious where the push for the Bethel Corridor project is coming from. A lot of people are
currently working from home and he hope this is in the best interest of the people of Port Orchard.
