does not constitute the creation of a duty by the city
to indemnify the licensee for any wrongful acts
against the public, or to guarantee the quality of
goods, services or expertise of a licensee. The issu-
ance of a license does not shift responsibility from
the licensee to the city for proper training, conduct
or equipment of the licensee or his agents, employ-
ees or representatives, even if specific regulations
require standards of training, conduct or inspec-
tion. Issuance of the license does not exempt the
licensee from other required permits or licenses.

occupy any real property or otherwise conducts or
proposes to conduct any business in violation of
the provisions of any ordinance of the city of Port
Orchard or of the statutes of the state of Washing-
ton. The granting of a business license shall in no
way be construed as permission or acquiescence in
a prohibited activity or other violation of the law.

by the rate of $14.00. The consumption charge will
be computed by subtracting the amount equal to
the number of customers multiplied by 5,000 gal-
lons from the total gallonage consumed. The rate of
the consumption above the basic will be $1.50 per
1,000 gallons up to 100,000 and $1.60 per 1,000
gallons in excess of 100,000 gallons.

for such payments, on the first day of the month
following the receipt of services.
Charges remaining unpaid 30 days after the due
date shall be considered delinquent and shall be
subject to an additional charge of 10 percent of the
unpaid balance as a penalty.
When a water and/or sewer bill shall become
delinquent and a city employee must go to the pre-
mises during normal working hours for the purpose
of hanging a written notice on the door, there shall
be a $10.00 charge added to the bill.
If the delinquent water and/or sewer charges
remain unpaid over a period of 30 days after the
due and payable date, water service will be discon-
tinued by turnoff. Water service will not resume
thereafter until the delinquent charges and penal-
ties, together with a water turnoff fee, have been
paid in full. The turnoff fee shall be $20.00, unless
the same account should become delinquent during
a 12-month period. On a second occurrence, the
turnoff fee shall be $30.00.On the third occurrence
and each subsequent occurrence, the turnoff fee
shall be $40.00.
When a customer requests a turn-on/off of water
outside normal working hours or on holidays or
weekends, an additional charge of $30.00 will be
added to the bill for this service.

are involved, the customer shall not be billed dou-
ble penalties. (Ord. 1707 § 6, 1997).
13.04.060 Liens.

a lien against any property where water and/or
sewer charges or water and/or sewer connection
fees remain unpaid for four months as provided in

The remedy provided in this section shall be in
addition to any other remedy now and hereafter
provided by law. All charges, together with penal-
ties and interest which may be provided by this
chapter, shall be a lien upon the property to which
such service is furnished. Water and/or sewer
charges or sewer connection liens shall be superior
to all other liens and encumbrances whatsoever,
except those for general taxes and local and special
assessments. The liens shall be enforced by the city
in the manner provided by law. The additional and
concurrent method of enforcing the lien of the city
for the delinquent and unpaid charges by turning
off the water and/or sewer service from the pre-
mises shall not be exercised after two years from
the date of recording the lien notice, as provided by
law. One exception to this is to enforce payment of
six months' charges for which no lien notice is
required by law to be recorded. (Ord. 1707 § 7,
1997).
13.04.070 Vacancies.
In the event that the premises are or shall

first 10 days following each calendar month period
of vacancy to be eligible for a billing adjustment of
the sewer service charges. No sewer service
charges shall be adjusted on a pro rata basis. Class
2 accounts without fixtures shall not receive any
billing adjustment.
(2) Vacant properties shall be subject to peri-
odic inspections. A person who knowingly submits
an application containing false information shall be
charged a penalty of twice the sewer service rate
for that period for which sewer service was cred-
ited. Any person charged such a penalty may
appeal to the city council within 15 days of the pen-
alty assessment. (Ord. 1707 § 8, 1997).
13.04.080 Mother-in-law apartments and

monthly rate.
(e) The building department shall inspect
the proposed mother-in-law apartment and report
its findings to the city treasurer. The city treasurer
shall make the determination if a unit is a mother-

an extra connection fee, but would be charged an
extra monthly rate.
(e) A property owner may apply for an
exemption from the additional monthly rate if a
family member lives in the apartment. Application
for exemption shall be made on forms provided by
the city treasurer. When the family member moves

pose located thereon and that the toilet and other
facilities therein have been removed, disconnected
and properly plugged from the public sewer sys-
tem, and upon inspection by the superintendent or
his designated representative to ascertain that the
statement is true, the sewer charges shall cease as
of the first day of the following month. (Ord. 1707
§ 10, 1997).
13.04.100 Cross connections.

control of the use thereof, the mayor shall declare
such an emergency. Notice of the emergency shall
be published in the official newspaper by the city
clerk, setting forth rules under which water will be
used. The notice may include defining zones for

The council fmds that this chapter is necessary
in order to minimize water quality degradation by
preventing the siltation of the city's creeks, streams
and other water bodies; to protect property owners
adjacent to developing land from increased runoff
rates which could cause erosion of abutting prop-
erty; to promote sound development policies which
respect and preserve the city's watercourses; to
insure the safety of the city streets and rights -of -
way; and to decrease surface water damage to pub-
lic and private property. (Ord. 1098 § 1, 1979).

Port Orchard Municipal Code
15.38.350
(4) Nonresidential structures that are elevated,
not floodproofed, must meet the same standards for
space below the lowest floor as described in
POMC 15.38.300(2);
(5) Applicants floodproofing nonresidential
buildings shall be notified that flood insurance pre-
miums will be based on rates that are one foot
below the floodproofed level (e.g., a building con-
structed to one foot above the base flood level will
be rated at the base flood level). (Ord. 1446 § 6.2-
2, 1989; Ord. 1435 § 6.2-2, 1988).
15.38.320 Critical facility.
Construction of new critical facilities shall be, to
the extent possible, located outside the limits of the
base floodplain. Construction of new critical facil-
ities shall be permissible within the base floodplain
if no feasible alternative site is available. Critical
facilities constructed within the base floodplain
shall have the lowest floor elevated to three feet or
more above the level of the base flood elevation at
the site. Floodproofing and sealing measures must
be taken to insure that toxic substances will not be
displaced by or released into floodwaters. Access
routes elevated to or above the level of the base
floodplain shall be provided to all critical facilities
to the extent possible. (Ord. 1446 § 6.2-3, 1989;
Ord. 1435 § 6.2-3, 1988).
15.38.330 Manufactured homes.
All manufactured homes to be placed or sub-
stantially improved within zones Al-30, AH and
AE shall be elevated on a permanent foundation
such that the lowest floor of the manufactured
home is one foot or more above the base flood ele-
vation and be securely anchored to an adequately
anchored foundation system in accordance with the
provisions of POMC 15.38.240(2). (Ord. 1446 §
6.2-4, 1989; Ord. 1435 § 6.2-4, 1988).
15.38.340 Floodways.
Located within areas of special flood hazard
established in POMC 15.38.060 are areas desig-
nated as floodways. Since the floodway is an
extremely hazardous area due to the velocity of
floodwaters which carry debris, potential projec-
tiles and erosion potential, the provisions in this
section apply:
(1) Prohibit encroachments, including fill, new
construction, substantial improvements and other
development unless certification by a registered
professional engineer or architect is provided dem-
onstrating that encroachments shall not result in
any increase in flood levels during the occurrence
of the base flood discharge.
(2) Construction or reconstruction of residen-
tial structures is prohibited within designated
floodways, except for:
(a) Repairs, reconstruction or improve-
ments to a structure which do not increase the
ground floor areas; and
(b) Repairs, reconstruction or improve-
ments to a structure the cost of which does not
exceed 50 percent of the market value of the struc-
ture either:
(i) Before the repair, reconstruction or
improvement is started; or
(ii) If the structure has been damaged,
and is being restored, before the damage occurred.
Work done on structures to comply with exist-
ing health, sanitary or safety codes or to structures
identified as historic places shall not be included in
the 50 percent.
(3) If subsection (1) of this section is satisfied,
all new construction and substantial improvements
shall comply with all applicable flood hazard
reduction provisions of Article V of this chapter,
Provisions for Flood Hazard Reduction. (Ord.
1446 § 6.3, 1989; Ord. 1435 § 6.3, 1988).
15.38.350 Wetlands management.
To the maximum extent possible avoid the short
and long term adverse impacts associated with the
destruction or modification of wetlands, especially
those activities which limit or disrupt the ability of
the wetlands to alleviate flooding impacts. The fol-
lowing process should be implemented:
(1) Review proposals for development within
base floodplains for their possible impacts on wet-
lands located within the floodplain.
(2) Ensure that development activities in or
around wetlands do not negatively affect public
safety, health and welfare by disrupting the wet-
lands' ability to reduce flood and storm drainage.
(3) Request technical assistance from the
Department of Ecology in identifying wetland
areas. Existing wetland map information from the
National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) can be used in
conjunction with the community's FIRM to pre-
pare an overlay zone indicating critical wetland
areas deserving special attention. (Ord. 1446 § 6.4,
1989; Ord. 1435 § 6.4, 1988).

dards contained in this chapter shall be deemed to
be minimum standards with which compliance is
essential to the permitted uses, and shall not be
construed as limiting the legislative discretion of
the city council to further restrict the permissive
uses or to withhold or revoke permits for uses
where, notwithstanding the existence of the mini-
mum standards herein set forth, the promotion or
protection of the public health, safety and welfare
bears a substantial relation to such withholding,
denial or revocation of permits or uses. (Ord. 1702
§ 2, 1997).
16.04.030 Conflicting provisions.

(Revised 8/98) 16-6
Port Orchard Municipal Code
16.04.210
ing or disapproving any preliminary plat is neces-
sary, the change of the recommendation shall not be
made until the city council shall conduct a public

spaces, drainageways, streets, alleys, other public
ways, water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks, play-

tional required funds. If the appraisal determines
the cost is less that the established values, the city
will reimburse the difference based on the amount
of the certified check and the appraised value.
