PUBLIC HEARING
50-foot Circle Zoning Amendments
Mayor Abel opened the continued Public Hearing for further comments.
Council Member Wyatt advised he was absent from the prior Public Hearing, however he
reviewed the videotape and read the minutes and staff reports. Assistant City Attorney Jacoby
advised this met the legal requirements to allow Council Member Wyatt to participate in the
discussion and vote at this Public Hearing.
Pat Lucas, resident, reminded the Council, that Kitsap County encountered a problem in
McCormick Woods when they removed the 50-foot circle and cautioned the Council about their
decision regarding this issue.
Gil Michael, speaking as a resident and Planning Commission Chair and requested the following
changes to the proposed amended zoning ordinance:
• Change Note #14 in the Land Use Table to allow for a 6,000 minimum lot size in a PRD
and R4.5. Currently the Land Use Table has no minimum lot size.
• Change Note #15 in the Land Use Table to allow for a minimum lot width of 50 feet at
the building site. Currently the Land Use Table requires a 40-foot building site.
Mark Kuhlman, Team 4 Engineering, asked for the following change to the proposed amended
zoning ordinance, Section 6(a) -adding back item "7 -lot size;" and remaining language
"except that single family detached dwelling ... "remain stricken. Mr. Kuhlman encouraged the
Council to maintain the minimum lot width of 40 feet.
Norm Olson, N.L. Olson and Associates, expressed a concern as to the inconsistency of the
Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance as it relates to the R20 zone. Mr. Olson advised this
inconsistency could be changed if the Council adopts an Ordinance to allow detached housing in
an R20 zone.
At 7:23p.m. Mayor Abel closed the Public Hearing to further public testimony.
Council Member Powers moved and Council Member Wyatt seconded a motion to
approve the changes to Zoning Ordinance No. 1748 as outlined in Ordinance No. 09-
06 allowing detached housing in the R20 Zoning adding a minimum lot size and lot
width in the R4.5 zone eliminating the requirement to maintain a useable minimum
diameter of 50 feet behind all setbacks in Planned Residential Developments and all
zones, and eliminating the minimum lot size in Planned Residential Developments.
Council Member Dilenno amended the motion and Council Member Chang seconded
the amendment to modify Section 1 to read " ... detached housing in the R20 zone,
within a PRO, ... "
Minutes of April 10, 2006
Page 3 of 13
Council Member Powers urged the Council to vote this amendment down, since a PRD has more
restrictions and without the PRD the developer has more flexibility for development and density.
Council Member Chang spoke in favor of the proposed amendment, as a PRD allows for better
quality standards in the City.
Upon vote, amended motion passed with 5 affirmative votes and one dissenting
vote. Council Member Powers cast the one dissenting vote.
Council Member Dilenno further amended and Council Member Chang seconded the
amended motion to modify and add to Section 6 (a)-"Item (7) Lot size," and delete
Note #14 from the Land Use Table, Densities and Dimensions. Upon vote, motion
passed unanimously.
Upon vote, the amended motion passed unanimously.
Columbia Mortgage, Capital Corporation Site Specific Rezone (R-1175)
Assistant City Attorney Jacoby reminded Council that while they normally operate in a legislative
capacity, during this Public Hearing the Council is acting as a quasi-judicial body. Assistant City
Attorney Jacoby further advised it is required that the Council be fair and impartial with no
conflict of interest or appearance of fairness violations. Assistant City Attorney Jacoby asked if
any Council Member had any ex parte contact with anyone regarding this application, outside of
this public hearing. There was no comment from any Council Members. Assistant City Attorney
Jacoby further asked if any Council Member had any financial interest in this property, applicant
or representative of the applicant, either directly or indirectly relating to the property that is
involved. There was no comment by any Council Member.
Planning Director Long-Woods addressed the proposal for a Site Specific Rezone from
Residential 4.5(R4.5) to Commercial (CO) to allow a commercial business to remain on site in
an existing 1,860 square foot structure and to convert a 720 square foot house into a
barbershop. The project is in an area designated as Commercial in the Comprehensive Plan.
The subject property is a 1.41 acre parcel with two addresses, located at 2143 and 2154 Bethel
Avenue.
Planning Director Long-Woods also presented the history of the property, reporting that in
1990, Pat's Accounting took up residency at 2143 Bethel Avenue. After searching City files, no
records were found that a Special Use Permit or Temporary Use Permit was issued for this
business. Planning Director advised in the zoning ordinance there is a clause under
Temporary Use Permits, that if there is a "good faith effort" to maintain the property as a non-
conforming use on a parcel, a Temporary Use Permit could be issued for up to four months.
This Temporary Use Permit would allow Columbia Mortgage to operate their business and allow
them the opportunity to submit their Site Specific Rezone from Residential 4.5 to Commercial.
Planning Director Long-Woods further advised Columbia Mortgage in the future (approximately
3-5 years), will be demolishing the current buildings and submit a new project to the City. At
that time, all issues concerning community impact, building codes, site improvements, drainage,
utility upgrades and all other issues pertaining to the permanent structures will be addressed.
At 7:45p.m. Mayor Abel opened the Public Hearing.
Minutes of April 10, 2006

Norm Poteet, representing the applicant, advised the applicant wants to make sure he can
legally operate his business at this site and in the future propose a new site development.
Ross Farr, applicant, asked for Council's approval on this rezone, allowing him to move forward
with his business plans.
Gil Michael, Planning Commission Chair, added a condition to the March 20, 2006 Staff Report
under Zoning: "#6-Any building revision, increase in foot print or use of site, must come back
to the Planning Commission and City Council for review and approval."
Planning Director Long-Woods clarified that the Code already states rev1s1ons would be
reviewed and addressed by the City Council, however Mr. Michael is asking that any revisions
be brought back to the Planning Commission as well.
Public Works Director Abed requested the following conditions:
• The applicant is required to dedicate 20 feet of additional right-of-way along the
property frontage along Bethel Avenue, per City Ordinance No. 1482.
• The applicant is required to sign a Waiver of Protest Agreement to waive the property's
right to protest a future Local Improvement District (LID) for the future Bethel Avenue
improvement to include pavement widening, curb/gutter, sidewalk, street lighting, storm
system improvement and landscaping per City Development Standards.
Mr. Poteet, representing applicant, advised the footprint has not changed, however expressed a
concern with the required 20-foot dedication of additional right-of-way along Bethel Avenue, as
it will encroach upon their parking.
Public Works Director Abed clarified no structures can be placed on the required 20 feet of
dedicated right-of-way, however this land can be used for parking purposes, until such time the
City would need to widen Bethel Avenue.
At 8:00 p.m. Mayor Abel closed the Public Hearing to further public testimony.
Council Member Wyatt moved and Council Member Powers seconded a motion to
approve the Site Specific Rezone application to rezone two parcels located at 2143
and 2153 Bethel Avenue, from Residential 4.5 (R4.5) to Commercial (CO), along
with adding to the Staff Report #6 under Zoning "Any building revision, increase in
footprint or use of site must come back to the City Council for a Public Hearing and
also with the addition of the following two conditions as recommended by Public
Works Director Abed:
• The applicant is required to dedicate 20 feet of additional right-of-way along
the property frontage along Bethel Avenue, per City Ordinance No. 1482.
• The applicant is required to sign a waiver of Protest Agreement to waive the
property's right to protest a future Local Improvement District (LID) for the
future Bethel Avenue improvement to include pavement widening,
curb/gutter, sidewalk, street lighting, storm system improvement and
landscaping per City of Port Orchard Development Standards.

Council further directed staff to prepare an Ordinance for the next regularly
scheduled meeting. Upon vote, motion passed unanimously.
Preliminary Plat/PRO/Shoreline Substantial Development Permit for Leora Park II
CSUBDIV04-01/ PRD /SDP168-04)
Assistant City Attorney Jacoby reminded Council that while they normally operate in a legislative
capacity, during this Public Hearing the Council is acting as a quasi-judicial body. Assistant City
Attorney Jacoby further advised it is required that the Council be fair and impartial with no
conflict of interest or appearance of fairness violations. Assistant City Attorney Jacoby asked if
any Council Member had any ex parte contact with anyone regarding this application, outside of
this public hearing. There was no comment from any Council Members. Assistant City Attorney
Jacoby further asked if any Council Member had any financial interest in this property, applicant
or representative of the applicant, either directly or indirectly relating to the property that is
involved. There was no comment by any Council Member.
Mayor Abel reported that Gil Michael, Planning Commission Chair, submitted proposed changes
to the Conditions of Approval as recommended by the Planning Commission.
Planning Director Long-Woods presented the proposal to subdivide an 11.96-acre site located
adjacent to Blackjack Creek into a Planned Residential Development (PRD) of 18 single-family
residential lots. The project site is designated as Low Density Residential and Greenbelt in the
Comprehensive Plan and zoned R4.5 and Greenbelt. Blackjack Creek is a Shoreline of
Statewide Significance with an Environmental Designation of Natural. The subject property is
located south and east of the intersection of South Flower Avenue and Fireweed Street. A
Determination of Non-Significance with mitigation was issued February 8, 2006 with a 14-day
comment period. Comments were received from State Fish and Wildlife, the Suquamish Tribe.
Planning Director Long-Woods addressed some of the concerns of the public and discussed by
the Planning Commission:
• Road issues, such as paving on South Flower and access into the subdivision;
• Tract F has a shared driveway, which is an existing paved 10 foot wide driveway and
proposed to be shared by two lots;
• The residents of Lot #1 are concerned about roads on three sides of their property. The
applicant has submitted a redesign configuration of the entrance into Tract F;
• Of the 11.9 acres, 7.40 acres are designated as greenbelt and cannot be developed. A
concern according to SEPA mitigation is all storm ponds and bio swales must be located
outside the buffer zones;
• Lots 15-18 do not meet the minimum lot size standards as outlined in the prior
ordinance, which allowed for a 50-foot circle behind all setbacks;
• Public Works Director is recommending removing a significant tree that is in the way of
accessing Lots 15 through 18;
• Planning Commission is recommending the applicant widen South Flower Avenue, from
Fireweed to the entrance of the development and add sidewalks on both sides of street;
• Planning Commission did not feel the development met all the requirements of a PRD.
Public Works Director Abed presented pictures illustrating more of the Planning Commission's
concerns:
Minutes of April 10, 2006
Page 6 of 13
• If South Flower Avenue were to be widened, the new sidewalks installed during the
development of Leora Park I would need to be removed due to the grade of the
sidewalks in respect to the current street level;
• The width of South Flower Avenue is only 20 feet wide;
• The sidewalks along South Flower Avenue meander and were adjusted to avoid removal
of trees.
Public Works Director Abed commented the City does have sufficient right-of-way to allow for
the widening of South Flower Avenue. Public Works Director Abed further commented that
according to the City's Development Code, higher traffic counts along South Flower Avenue
South Flower would call for the transition in the street classification from a Feeder Road to an
Access Road. Public Works Director Abed concurred with the Planning Commission's
recommendation to widen South Flower Avenue to Fireweed as City Code dictates.
At 8:24p.m. Mayor Abel opened the Public Hearing.
Dousithee Chamberlain, resident, expressed a concern about the hours of construction. Mayor
Abel advised Mr. Chamberlain he has the right to call 911 if a violation of City Code occurs.
Mark Kuhlman, Team 4 Engineer, representing the applicant, discussed the set backs as they
relate to the required 200 foot buffer along Blackjack Creek. Mr. Kuhlman illustrated on a map
how Lot #11 is within the 200 feet buffer of Blackjack Creek. Mr. Kuhlman further advised this
property belong to an existing resident that is grandfathered within the development.
Mr. Kuhlman presented pictures of a site where they propose to place the bio swale, which
encroaches 200 feet into the Blackjack Creek buffer. Mr. Kuhlman commented the proposed
site is an old degraded pastureland; there is no native vegetation, no hemlocks or native
ground cover, and it would be within a stream buffer. Mr. Kuhlman advised the applicant is
proposing to place the Water Quality Mitigation Feature, the bio swale, in the degraded buffer.
Mr. Kuhlman stated constructing the bio swale would require minimum excavation.
Mr. Kuhlman commented the applicant does not have a problem with keeping the Storm Water
Detention Pond outside the 200 feet buffer. The applicant's only request is to have the bio
swale slightly intrude within the 200 feet buffer.
For Council clarification, Mr. Kuhlman requested a modification to Planning Commission
Resolution No. 04-06, Conditions of Approval, deleting the requirement that "there shall be no
storm ponds, no stormwater treatment facilities, or any other excavations within the 200 ft. of
natural buffer area."
Mr. Kuhlman discussed the Tree Retention Plan and reported that all significant trees have been
identified within the proposed project. According to the plan, the City Council must approve the
removal of any historical or cultural significant trees. Mr. Kuhlman clarified they have only
identified the significant trees within the developed areas of the project, not the protected or
open space areas. In the developable areas 33 trees have been identified as significant. Mr.
Kuhlman further acknowledged that eight significant "historical" trees have been identified and
he asked that they be removed.
Minutes of April 10, 2006
Page 7 of 13
Mr. Kuhlman noted the proposed development is 11.96 acres and 7.06 acres are designated as
open space or approximately 60 percent of the acreage. The applicant feels since more than
one-half of the project is designated as open space, this fulfills the park requirement for the 18-
lot project. However Mr. Kuhlman advised if the Council disagrees with this proposal, then the
applicant will offer an alternative proposal to provide a financial contribution of $300 per lot in
lieu of a park playground.
Mr. Kuhlman disagrees with Public Works Director Abed's traffic study. Mr. Kuhlman referred
to the traffic study that was prepared for the Leora Park I and II project. This traffic study
reveals there are no problems with safety, identifies only minor traffic delays, and that sidewalk
improvements were made with Leora Park I. Increase in traffic is limited, therefore it does not
warrant any further road improvements to South Flower Avenue.
Mr. Kuhlman addressed three conditions relating to road improvements:
• Tract B pond maintenance and shared access to Lot #10. Mr. Kuhlman read the
following recommendation: "Tract B pond maintenance access will be shown on the
final plat as a 25 feet wide tract from the cul-de-sac to the southern margin of Lot #10.
It will be defined on the face of the plat as a private road to provide access to the Storm
Water Management Tract B and Lots 9 and 10. Maintenance will be provided by Lots 9
and 10. Right of access will be granted to the Home Owners Association and the City
for maintenance of storm water management facilities."
• The layout of the private road for Lots 14-18 is not acceptable. Mr. Kuhlman advised
that Public Works Director Abed expressed a concern the configuration of the centerline
will create a safety hazard for the motorists. Mr. Kuhlman reported they were trying to
save the big leaf maple in the City right-of-way, however Public Works Director Abed
has indicated this tree must be removed and the applicant has agreed to remove the
tree.
• A Planning Commission Conditional of Approval referencing Lots No. 6 and 7 indicates
they must have an access internally, not through an easement into South Flower
Meadows. The applicant is proposing to allow lots 6, 7 and the existing log home direct
access onto South Flower Avenue, with the road being developed in accordance with the
City's private road standards.
Mark Kuhlman referred to Planning Commission Resolution No. 04-06, Conditions of Approval,
which states that some lots do not meet the standards of a PRD. Mr. Kuhlman demonstrated
that they have complied with the required 50-foot circle requirement as outlined within a PRD
and the prior zoning ordinance.
Mr. Kuhlman advised most of the drainage on the project site is traveling away from Blackjack
Creek, so Mr. Kuhlman requested a modification of Condition of Approval to allow the use of
either a silt fence or orange construction fence as approved by the City Engineer.
Mr. Kuhlman asked for a correction to Conditions of Approval, that the noise ordinance, as
defined by the Port Orchard Municipal Code will dictate the hours of construction, not the
environmental checklist.
Council Member Diienno asked Mr. Kuhlman to provide a brief summary of the modification to
Planning Commission Resolution No. 04-06.
Minutes of April 10, 2006
Page 8 of 13
Mr. Kuhlman presented an overview of his comments and concerns:
Findings of Fact:
• The applicant has agreed to allow for private streets;
• The Storm Ponds needs to be outside the 200 feet wetland buffer, however the
applicant will mitigate for impact and feel the mitigation will allow for a better use of the
project;
• The applicant has provided several alternatives for park playground compensation;
• The applicant has provided an addendum to the Habitat Management Plan;
• The tree retention plan does not address the entire site, since 7.0 acres are considered
open space.
Planning Commission Conditions of Approval:
• Applicant requesting bio swale with the 200 feet buffer;
• Applicant requesting use of orange construction fencing along with silt fencing
• Applicant requesting revision to correct the 50-foot setbacks
• Applicant has agreed to reconfiguring the road issue
Council Member Powers asked if the 7.6 acres of green belt could be used as a park. Mr.
Kuhlman advised this is not suitable for any type of park, due to its steep terrain.
Council Member Powers asked if the property would be dedicated to the homeowners or should
it be dedicated to the City and questioned who would bear the liability. Assistant City Attorney
Jacoby advised is appears this area is not an area the City would open up to the general public,
due to potential liability issues. Council Member Geiger expressed a concern with homeowners
taking on this liability. Assistant City Attorney Jacoby reminded the Council that this area is
designated a greenbelt area, which will be protected through the zoning ordinance.
At 9:20 p.m. Mayor Abel called for a 10-minute recess. The meeting was reconvened at 9:30
p.m.
Dave Hollar, resident, asked for clarification of the City's street standards for South Flower
Avenue. Public Works Director Abed reported the street is 20 feet wide and based on City
standards, the street should be 28 feet wide. Mr. Hollar also expressed a concern with the
increase in traffic and speed in the area and suggested a stop sign be installed.
Christine Sanders, resident, expressed the following concerns:
• The sidewalks on South Flower Avenue are placed too close to the tree trunks. Ms.
Sanders suggested these trees be removed.
• South Flower Avenue needs to be widened.
• The path along the detention pond is not an actual road, as Mr. Kuhlman stated.
• Lot No. 1 has many significant trees that should be removed.
Kathie Lipka, resident, expressed the following concerns:
• The school buses are stopping in the middle of the road, forcing the children and
vehicles to go around the bus, illegally.
• Ground water is dumping into Blackjack Creek.
• The Environmental Checklist that was submitted by the applicant did not take into
consideration the amount of water on some of the lots.
• Mr. Kuhlman neglected to mention the many different varieties of animals that have
habitats in this area, such as birds, deer, bear, mountain lions, etc.
Minutes of April 10, 2006
Page 9 of 13
• Noise and damage to the property will ultimately hurt the environment.
• Concern about increase in private roads and traffic on South Flower Avenue.
Jerry Arnett, resident, reminded the Council they need to vote what is fair for all the citizens of
Port Orchard and not vote in favor of the developer.
Gil Michael, Planning Commission Chair, requested additional changes to the Planning
Commission's Conditions of Approval and also submitted comments to Mark Kuhlman as
follows:
• New condition of Approval -"All intrusions into the Blackjack Creek buffer must be
approved by the HMP and HPA.
• The Tree Retention Plan and Replacement Plan should address the entire proposal.
• Regarding Preliminary Plat Approval -new language inserted -"Private Road A should
be straightened and the "significant" maple tree removed. Sidewalks, to code, shall be
added on the south and east of Private Road A that services lots 15-18."
• New language inserted: "All lot setbacks shall be to up to code and all lots shall be at
least 6,000 square feet."
• New language -"If the proposed access road (private driveway as proposed) is
approved by the Council, then it shall access only Leora Park II Lots 6 and 7 and be
built to City Private Road standards as proposed by the applicant."
• Additional language -"Stormwater system shall be limited to servicing the number of
lots within Leora Park II lots only."
Mr. Michael reminded the Council they have the authority under the Zoning Ordinance to make
changes to Conditions and urged the Council to make the necessary improvements to South
Flower Avenue for the neighborhood.
Council Member Clauson moved and Council Member Wyatt seconded a motion to
continue the Council Meeting through the completion of the Public Hearing.
Council Member Geiger amended the motion and Council Member Dilenno seconded
the amendment to continue this Public Hearing through the Consent Agenda and
Business Item 6B. Upon vote motion passed with four affirmative votes and two
dissenting votes. Council Members Clauson and Wyatt cast the two dissenting
votes.
Upon vote, amended motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Kuhlman concurred with David Hollar regarding the necessity of a stop sign. He advised the
sidewalks were constructed for Leora Park Phase I and II. Mr. Kuhlman concurs that 60 feet of
right of way could provide for the necessary road improvements. Mr. Kuhlman restated his
belief that the path along the detention pond is an actual road.
Mr. Kuhlman advised he met with the neighbors and the school district and the school bus is
stopping where everyone agreed. Mr. Kuhlman further responded he only listed the vegetation
and animals on the site that he noticed when he walked the project site.
Mr. Kuhlman:
Minutes of April 10, 2006
Page 10 of 13
• Agrees with adding the use of orange construction fencing as approved by the City
Engineer;
• The Tree Retention Plan was not a part of the 7.60 acres of open space as this is
protected space;
• Agrees that Private Road A should be straightened out;
• Agrees that all lots should be 6,000, acknowledging that this project is a PRD; therefore
it is acceptable to have a variety of lot sizes;
• Agrees that Lot 10 and the stormwater pond shall have a shared access road, and the
Homeowners Association and that the City shall have emergency access only;
• Expressed a concern with the modification making the stormwater system limited to only
Leora Park II. Mr. Kuhlman stressed the importance of having regional ponds, due to
maintenance issues and cost effectiveness for the homeowners. Mr. Kuhlman further
stated the Fish and Wildlife have asked that developers limit their outfall to Blackjack
Creek; and
• Agrees with modification that Lots 6 and 7 be developed to private road standards.
Gil Michael clarified that it was not the Planning Commission's intention to have the applicant
survey the greenbelt area for the Tree Retention Program. He commented he was encouraged
to hear that the stormwater pond and Tract #F would only be used by Leora Park and not by
other developments.
Mr. Michael stated Mr. Kuhlman indicated that Tract #42 could potentially be platted for
additional houses, however Mr. Kuhlman never indicated to the Planning Commission that Tract
F could or would be used for access purposes.
At 10:10 p.m. Mayor Abel closed the Public Hearing to further public testimony.
