042-17 - Resolution - Correction to a Utility Billing Account for 1636 Bay StreetRESOLUTION NO. 042-17
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PORT ORCHARD, WASHINGTON AUTHORIZING A
CORRECTION TO A UTILITY BILLING ACCOUNT FOR 1636 BAY STREET (SOMETIMES
REFERRED TO AS 310 PERRY) AND ADOPTING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT OF THE
CORRECTION.
WHEREAS, on April 19, 2017, an application for a nonconforming use permit was submitted
concerning the structure at 1636 Bay Street (sometimes referred to as 310 Perry); and
WHEREAS, on May 15, 2017, the city issued a decision that recognized the structure at 1636 Bay
Street (sometimes referred to as 310 Perry) as a legal nonconforming triplex; and
WHEREAS, this legal nonconforming triplex has been billed as a duplex in the City since at least
1979, as shown in the city's utility billing records; and
WHEREAS, the current owner purchased the property in 2015 and was not involved in the initial
utility account establishment; and
WHEREAS, the May 15, 2017 nonconforming use permit decision requires that the applicant
update the utility account information to reflect the legal presence of 3 residential units; and
WHEREAS, city staff lacks the authority to make this utility account change in the absence of
payment of capital facility charges and/or payment of previous billings which were incorrectly calculated
due to the uncertainty surrounding the structure's legal status; now, therefore,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT ORCHARD, WASHINGTON, HEREBY RESOLVES AS
FOLLOWS:
THAT: The City Council authorizes city staff to correct the utility billing account information for
the structure at 1636 Bay Street (sometimes referred to as 310 Perry) to reflect its legal status as
a legal nonconforming triplex following established utility billing procedures. This correction
shall not apply retroactively or require the payment of capital facilities charges for water or
sewer.
PASSED by the City Council of the City of Port Orchard, SIGNED by the Mayor and attested by
the City Clerk in authentication of such passage on this 27th day of June 2017.
Robert Putaansuu, Mayor
