FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
Resolution No. 017-06
Page 2 of 9
Based on the above testimony and exhibits, the City Council finds and concludes as
follows.
FINDINGS:
General
1. The application SUBDIV 04-01/PRD/SDP 65-05, is a Planned Residential Development for 18
lots. The application was received on February 17, 2004. Kitsap County Assessor
Information shows that Charles & Marguerite Childress are the property owners.
2. Determination of Non-Significance with mitigation (MONS) was issued on February 8, 2006.
3. The total site area is 11.96 acres, of which approximately 3.65-acres are zoned R 4.5. and
the Greenbelt portion of the site is 7 .06-acres. Approximately .48 acres will be dedicated for
the stormwater tract and . 77 acres will be public right of way and public roads. The
applicant is utilizing provisions for a PRD and proposing to transfer the density from the
Greenbelt zone to the R4.5 zone. Chapter C1, Section 7 provides for the transfer of density
credits. In this case, the site is constrained by approximately 60% of sensitive areas, and
as such partial density credit of 50% is allowed for a total of 2 credits. The proposal of 18
dwelling units is within the allowable density utilizing the transfer of density credits.
Streets
4. Section 7 of the Developers Handbook states in part: Private roads will be limited to serving
5 dwelling units and can only be used in short plats, unless an exemption is specifically
approved by the City CouncW1
• The developer is proposing to make Road "A11 a private road.
The applicant is requesting an approval of a "Deviation Request// from the City Council to
allow for a private access road to four of the lots.
5. Road "B// is proposed to be a feeder road with a capacity of 12 dwelling units. If this is the
case, it needs to be clearly stated that Lot 11/s future development may be restricted due to
the limited capacity.
6. Street lights have not been identified on the site plan, but will be required on the
engineering drawings.
Water/Sewer
7. Water & sewer are provided by the City of Port Orchard, and City water and sewer service is
available to this parcel. Each home that connects to the City of Port Orchard water and
sewer will be assessed connection and inspection fees. The exact fees for water and sewer
will be assessed when each application is processed.
Stormwater
8. The storm water quantity control proposed for this project is detention. One detention pond
is proposed in the southwest corner of the project area. It will contain a multiple orifice
control structure, which will release Stormwater at metered rates to mimic predeveloped
conditions.
9. The stormwater detention pond will be located outside of the 200 ft. buffer of Blackjack
Creek. This requirement was part of SEPA mitigation.
10. The proposed water quality treatment facility is a bioswale designed to treat the flow rate of
a 6-month storm for the developed basin and withstand the 100-year, 24-hour storm event.
The placement of the bioswale within the 200 foot buffer for Blackjack Creek is protective of
the environment provided applicant complies with the habitat management plan and
associated mitigation.
Resolution No. 017-06
Page 3 of 9
11. Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan will be developed for the "Final Storm
Report" and will include elements such as: interceptor swales, sedimentation traps and filter
fabric fencing. Runoff from the site will flow through a buffer of native vegetation, where
possible, before leaving the site.
12. The Operation and Maintenance Manual will be prepared and submitted along with the "as-
built" construction plans.
Parks
13. This project is not proposing to have any parks and does not have any park improvements.
They have 7.06 acres of the site dedicated as an open space tract adjacent to Blackjack
Creek, however, this cannot be designated as a park or recreational area because of the
natural environment designation. The applicant will dedicate funds per lot in lieu of
improvements, to be applied towards the improvement/acquisition of park facilities.
Preliminary Plat/Subdivision Code
14. The preliminary plat indicates subdivision of the two parcels into 18 single family residential
lots. Two existing residences will remain on site in separate lots.
15. The plat shows five open space tracts: Open Space Tract A, is the regional storm water
conveyance on Flower Meadow, Div. I; Open Space Tract B, is the stormwater
detention/water quality treatment pond adjacent to Lot 10; Open Space Tract C is the
natural buffer area with steep slopes along Blackjack Creek: Open Space Tracts D & E are
additional open space tracts. The preliminary plat does not show the easement provisions
or describe the tracts.
16. There are critical areas within the plat: steep slopes and a natural buffer area adjacent to
Blackjack Creek. In accordance with the Critical Areas Ordinance, a "Notice to Title" must
be filed with the final plat. The "Notice to Title" will be required for each lot within the plat
that contains a critical area. Copies of the notices shall be submitted to the City for the
record and must be added for final plat.
17. The use of Density Credits is proposed. The Preliminary Plat/PRO has followed the criteria
allowed for density credits which has been incorporated into the design of the plat.
Traffic
18. A Traffic Impact Analysis was submitted for the project. Primary streets serving the site are
two-lane feeder roads of varying width. South Flower Street is a north-south two lane
access roadway providing primary access to the site. Lane widths are 9-10 feet, surfacing is
composed of asphalt and shoulder are grass/gravel along its length and are minimal in
width. The posted speed limit is 25 mph.
19. Sidney Ave is a north-south two lane roadway having lanes of 12 to 14 feet in width and 2
to 4 feet of asphalt shoulders with some areas having gravel for shoulders. It lies westerly
of the site and has a posted speed of 30 mph.
20. Fireweed Road is an east-west two lane asphalt roadway. Lane widths are 9 to 10 feet and
the speed is posted as 25 mph. Shoulders vary as to composition of grass and gravel but
are minimal to non-existent for most of its length.
21. 247 new total trips would be created on a typical weekday. No significant impacts to the
surrounding roadway network are expected due to the addition of project traffic.
Land Use/Zoning
22. Blackjack Creek is a Shoreline of Statewide Significance with an Environmental Designation
of Natural. In accordance with the City of Port Orchard Shoreline Master Program, there is
a required 200 ft. natural vegetated buffer required along the entire length of the creek in
this area. Except for the detention facility, the proposed residential development is
clustered away from the critical areas. This is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
designation for Greenbelt and Low Density Residential.
Resolution No. 017-06
Page 4 of 9
23. The zoning is R4.5 and Greenbelt. The development is being reviewed under the provisions
of a PRD that allows for density increases through the transfer of density from the GB to R
4.5 up to a density of 6 dwelling units per acre, for a total up to 22 lots.
24. The applicant is requesting approval of a Planned Residential Development and has
addressed the criteria outlined in Chapter 83, Section 6.
25. The minimum lot area required for property proposed for a planned residential development
is one acre. The proposal complies with this requirement (Chapter 85, Section 4d).
26. Single-family detached dwellings are permitted uses within a PRD in the Greenbelt and R4.5
zone (Chapter 85, Section 5).
27. Every lot should have a minimum of 25 feet on a public or privately dedicated right-of-way
(Chapter C2, Section 2).
28. The proposed PRD provides a variety of lot sizes. The provision of alleys and designs which
incorporate parking at the rear is not appropriate on the subject parcel because the site
contains extensive critical areas (Chapter B5(4)(e).
Habitat Management Plan
29. A Habitat Management Plan was submitted to address the Class I Wildlife Conservation Area
(WCA) associated with Blackjack Creek to address encroachments into the buffer for the
bioswale and stormwater outfall.
30. The Plan identifies impacts to the WCA as follows:
a. Alteration of the stormwater runoff from the developed area;
b. Removal of wildlife habitat (birds and animals)
c. Increased utilization of the adjacent Wildlife Conservation Area by humans and
animals living in the new development.
d. Increased automobile traffic on the roads leading to the project, with an
associated reduction in water quality in the stormwater system of the entire area
watershed.
31. The Plan proposes mitigation for the encroachment into the 200ft. buffer.
Tree Retention Plan
32. The tree retention plan addresses the site, outside of the natural buffer area of the creek.
33. The project site west of the critical areas contains 28 trees with a DBH greater than 18".
34. Of the 28 significant trees, 8 trees have a DBH greater than 36". These trees require City
Council Approval for removal. The Council has approved the removal of the requested
significant trees.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The proposal conforms with the adopted goals and policies of the City's Comprehensive
Plan.
2. The proposal meets the applicable minimum requirements of the adopted City Codes,
including the Zoning Code, the Development Regulations, the Shoreline Management
Plan, and the Stormwater Ordinance.
3. The proposal has made appropriate provisions for the public health, safety, and welfare
of the community and is in harmony with the general purposes of the Zoning Ordinance,
Comprehensive Plan, and Growth Management Act.
4. The public use and interest will be served by the platting of the proposed subdivision.

RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
FINDINGS:
General
THAT: The Planning Commission of the City of Port Orchard
hereby recommends that the City Council of the City of Port
Orchard approve the application for a Preliminary Plat/Planned
Residential Development/Shoreline Substantial Development for
Leora Park II with the following findings and conclusions and
subject to the following conditions:
1. The application SUBDIV 04-01/PRD/SDP 65-05, is a Planned Residential Development
for 18 lots. The application was received on February 17, 2004. Kitsap County Assessor
Information shows that Charles & Marguerite Childress are the property owners.
2. Determination of Non-Significance with mitigation (MONS) was issued on February 8,
2006.
3. The total site area is 11.96 acres, of which approximately 3.65-acres are zoned R 4.5.
The R4.5 zone allows for 16 dwelling units. The Greenbelt portion of the site is 7.06-
acres and allows four dwelling units. Approximately .48 acres will be dedicated for the
stormwater tract and .77 acres will be public right of way and public roads. The
applicant is utilizing provisions for a PRO and proposing to transfer the density from the
Greenbelt zone to the R4.5 zone. Chapter C1, Section 7 provides for the transfer of
density credits. In this case, the site is constrained by approximately 60% of sensitive
areas, and as such partial density credit of 50% is allowed for a total of 2 credits. The
proposal of 18 dwelling units is within the allowable density utilizing the transfer of
density credits.

4. Section 7 of the Developers Handbook states in part: ... Private roads will be limited to
serving 5 dwelling units and can only be used in short plats, unless an exemption is
specifically approved by the City Council". The developer is proposing to make Road "A"
a private road. The applicant is requesting an approval of a "Deviation Request" from
the City Council to allow for a private access road to four of the lots.
5. Road "B" is proposed to be a feeder road with a capacity of 12 dwelling units. If this is
the case, it needs to be clearly stated that Lot ll's future development may be
restricted due to the limited capacity.
6. Street lights have not been identified on the site plan, but will be required on the
engineering drawings.
Water/Sewer
7. Water & sewer are provided by the City of Port Orchard, and City water and sewer
service is available to this parcel. Each home that connects to the Cit of Port Orchard
water and sewer will be assessed connection and inspection fees. The exact fees for
water and sewer will be assessed when each application is processed.
Stormwater
8. The storm water quantity control proposed for this project is detention. One detention
pond is proposed in the southwest corner of the project area. It will contain a multiple
orifice control structure, which will release Stormwater at metered rates to mimic
predeveloped conditions.
9. The proposed stormwater detention facility is located within the Blackjack Creek buffer.
SEPA mitigation has identified that the detention pond needs to be moved outside of the
buffer area.
10. The proposed storm water quality enhancement method is a Bioswale designed to treat
the flow rate of a 6-month storm for the developed basin and withstand the 100-year,
24-hour storm event.
11. No "Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan" was submitted, but will be
developed for the "Final Strom Report" and will include elements such as: interceptor
swales, sedimentation traps and filter fabric fencing. Runoff from the site will flow
through a buffer of native vegetation, where possible, before leaving the site.
12. The Operation and Maintenance Manual will be prepared and submitted along with the
"as-built" construction plans.
Parks
13. This project is not proposing having any parks and does not have any park
improvements. They have 7.06 acres of the site dedicated as an open space tract
adjacent to Blackjack Creek, however, this cannot be designated as a park or
recreational area because of the natural environment designation. The applicant has in
the past dedicated funds per lot in lieu of improvements, to be applied towards the
improvement/acquisition of regional facilities.
Preliminary Plat/Subdivision Code
14. The preliminary plat indicates subdivision of the two parcels into 18 single family
residential lots. Two residences are currently located on the parcels, those will remain
on site in separate lots.
15. The plat shows five open space tracts: Open Space Tract A, is the regional storm water
conveyance on Flower Meadow, Div. I; Open Spa Tract B, is the stormwater
detention/water quality treatment pond adjacent to Lot 10; Open Space Tract C is the
natural buffer area with steep slopes along Blackjack Creek: Open Space Tracts D & E
Resolution No. 04-06
Page 3 of 12
are additional open space tracts. The preliminary plat does not show the easement
provisions or describe the tracts.
16. There are critical areas within the plat: steep slopes and a natural buffer area adjacent
to Blackjack Creek. In accordance with the Critical Areas Ordinance, a "Notice to Title"
must be filed with the final plat. The "Notice to Title" will be required for each lot within
the plat that contains a critical area. Copies of the notices shall be submitted to the City
for the record. The preliminary plat does not show this restriction, but must be added
for final plat.
17. The use of Density Credits is proposed. The Preliminary Plat does not indicate the
restriction on the density of the sending parcel, or the easement or granting of density
to the receiving parcel.
18. Some of the lots do not meet the minimum lot width of SOft. behind all setbacks
(Chapter B5, Section 6.7). The plat needs to be reconfigured with lots meeting
minimum standards under the requirements (Zoning Ordinance) in effect at time of
application.
Traffic
19. , A Traffic Impact Analysis was submitted for the project. Primary streets serving the site
are two-lane collector roads of varying width. South Flower Street is a north-south two
lane roadway providing primary access to the site. Lane widths are 9-10 feet, surfacing
is composed of asphalt and shoulder are grass/gravel along its length and are minimal in
width. The posted speed limit is 25 mph.
20. Sidney Ave is a north-south two lane roadway having lanes of 12 to 14 feet in width and
2 to 4 feet of asphalt shoulders with some areas having gravel for shoulders. It lies
westerly of the site and has a posted speed of 30 mph.
21. Fireweed Road is an east-west two lane asphalt roadway. Lane widths are 9 to 10 feet
and the speed is posted as 25 mph. Shoulders vary as to composition of grass and
gravel but are minimal to non-existent for most of its length.
22. 247 new total trips would be created on a typical weekday . No significant impacts to
the surrounding roadway network are expected due to the addition of project traffic.
23. No traffic mitigation measures are proposed.
Land Use/Zoning
24. Blackjack Creek is a Shoreline of Statewide Significance with an Environmental
Designation of Natural. In accordance with the City of Port Orchard Shoreline Master
Program, there is a required 200 ft. natural vegetated buffer required along the entire
length of the creek in this area. Except for the detention facility, the proposed
residential development is clustered away from the critical areas. This is consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan designation for Greenbelt and Low Density Residential.
25. The zoning is R4.5 and Greenbelt. The development is being reviewed under the
provisions of a PRD that allows for density increases through the transfer of density
from the GB to R 4.5 up to a density of 6 dwelling units per acre.
26. The applicant is requesting approval of a Planned Residential Development and has
addressed the criteria outlined in Chapter B3, Section 6 .
27. The minimum lot area required for property proposed for a planned residential
development is one acre. The proposal complies with this requirement (Chapter 85,
Section 4d).
28. Single-family detached dwellings are permitted uses within a PRD in the Greenbelt and
R4.5 zone (Chapter B5, Section 5).
Resolution No. 04-06
Page 4 of 12
29. The current zoning ordinance provides a minimum lot width of 50 ft. behind all setbacks
for single family detached housing. Some of the lots proposed in the PRD do not meet
the minimum requirement for lot width (Chapter BS, Section 6a:7).
30. Every lot should have a minimum of 25 feet on a public or privately dedicated right-of-
way (Chapter C2, Section 2). Lots 6, 7 and 10 do not meet this requirement.
31. The proposed PRD provides a variety of lot sizes. The provision of alleys and designs
which incorporate parking at the rear is not appropriate on the subject parcel because
the site contains extensive critical areas (Chapter B5(4)(e).
Habitat Management Plan
32. A Habitat Management Plan was submitted to address the Class I Wildlife Conservation
Area (WCA) associated with Blackjack Creek.
33. The Plan is not based on the latest plan for 18 lots, but is based upon the plan for 17
lots.
34. The Plan identifies impacts to the WCA as follows:
a. Alteration of the stormwater runoff from the developed area;
b. Removal of wildlife habitat (birds and animals)
c. Increased utilization of the adjacent Wildlife Conservation Area by bumans and
animals living in the new development.
d. Increased automobile traffic on the roads leading to the project, with an
associated reduction in water quality in the stormwater system of the entire area
watershed.
35. The Plan proposes mitigation for the encroachment into the 200ft. buffer. The
recommendation to mitigate the encroachment is inconsistent with the SEPA condition
"There shall be no storm ponds, no stormwater treatment facilities, or any other
excavation within the 200 ft. natural buffer area".
Tree Retention Plan
36. The tree retention plan does not address the entire site.
37. The project site west of the critical areas contains 28 trees with a DBH greater than 18".
38. Of the 28 significant trees, 8 trees have a DBH greater than 36". These trees require
City Council Approval for removal. Six of these trees are proposed for removal.
CONCLUSIONS:
The Zoning Ordinance provides decision criteria for the granting of a PRD in Chap. B3, Sec.6.
A planned residential development approval shall be granted only if the proposal shall:
1. Benefit the community more than if the project complied with the established
standards, guidelines, and policies.
Staff response: The proposal is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan provisions
for a PRD and residential development in the Greenbelt and low density designations.
The proposed 18-lot subdivision is consistent with the application of density credits for
the number of dwelling units/ however minimum lots widths are not consistent with
Chapter B~ Section 6a/ and the lot widths cannot be modified. The lot configurations
will need to be revised to meet the minimum requirements.
2. Clearly specify residential and other land uses through detailed site plans, lot
layouts, and building elevations.
Staff response: The PRD is not clearly detailed by the submitted plat lot layouts.
Resolution No. 04-06
Page 5 of 12
• The Preliminary Plat needs to be revised to clearly detail the dimensions of all lot
and easement lines;
• The Streets and Access Roads need to be labeled (Existing and Proposed);
• Any other recorded public or private utility easement need to be located &
identified;
• Any proposed dedications need to be identified-the proposed open space tracts
need to be dedicated to the homeowners, and this is typically accomplished
through the establishment of a homeowners association. Prior to Final Plat, the
applicant will need to submit a copy of the CC&Rs for approval by the City
Attorney.
• Existing Utilities and Appurtenances need to be shown on the engineered
drawings.
To promote pedestrian use, the Comprehensive Plan provides: "The City shall require
installation of street lighting, landscaping, sidewalks, curbs and gutters adjacent to
property as a consideration of development. ''(Policy 7, Transportation Element, pg. IV-
29)
Staff comment: A lighting plan has not been submitted, but should be required prior to
approval of the construction plans.
3. Preserve unique or sensitive physical features such as steep slopes and views,
and retain natural vegetation.
Staff response: The proposal includes preservation of native vegetation on steep
slopes along Blackjack Creek, however the stormwater facilities encroach into the 200
setback. The SEPA conditions prohibit the encroachment. The proposal will need to be
modified to meet the SEPA conditions.
4. Provide more open space and recreational amenities than would be available
under conventional land development practices.
Staff response: The site includes extensive critical areas that are set aside as open
space. The set-aside would be required with or without the PRD review. The applicant
is not proposing any additional recreational amenities than would be available under
conventional land development practices.
Policy 7, Parks and Open Space Element, pg. II-29 of the Comprehensive Plan states:
The City shall provide for a mixture of active and passive open spaces within housing
and commercial areas with consideration of nearby facilities.
Staff response: The proposed design does not provide for parks. The City does not
have impact fees for parks or recreation and looks to development to help mitigate the
recreational needs of the new homes. Previously, the City has had applicants for
subdivisions provide private playgrounds that are owned and maintained by the
homeowners associations. Those playgrounds are often on a single lot and are often
too small to be inviting to the residents. Or, the Council has accepted funds per lot in
lieu of the on-site park to provide for the upgrade or acquisition of a neighborhood park
of meaningful size to meet the needs of the resident of the community at large.
5. Utilize creative design techniques to promote an uncluttered appearance such
as a variety of lot sizes, parking at the rear of sites and the provision of alleys.
Resolution No. 04-06
Page 6 of 12
Staff response: A variety of lot sizes are proposect and clustering of the residential
development away from the critical areas is accomplished through the use of density
transfer from the Greenbelt zone.
6. Specifically demonstrate its benefit to the surrounding neighborhood and
community at large.
Staff response: The proposal includes the preservation of extensive open space.
7. Specify the phasing of the development of a site.
a. N/A
8. Provide public facility sites or improvements, such as road improvements,
utilities, parks, or open space.
Staff response: The proposal includes new utility extensions and road improvements
on site.
The Comprehensive Plan states: "The city shall require the under grounding of future or
existing utility lines including ga~ cable television electric distribution lines/ and
telephone as appropriate during the design review process and in accordance with local
regional and state rules/ regulations and tariffs.'' (Policy 3/ Utilities Element, pg. 111-7)
The Stormwater Drainage Plan was submitted with the application showing a treatment
pond within the natural buffer area. SEPA mitigation requires that the pond be located
outside of the buffer area in accordance with Shoreline Master Program. The final
stormwater plan must be revisect reviewed and approved by the City Engineer prior to
clearing and grading permits can be issued.
The proposed road "A" does not meet City standards. The City Engineer recommends
that the road should be constructed to meet the current standard, and does not support
the request for a deviation.
Response by Planning Commission:
1. South Flower Avenue does not meet City of Port Orchard access road
standards as specified in the City Developers Handbook.
2. Numerous residents have stated the difficulties traveling South Flower
Avenue.
3. 16 new homes are proposed to use South Flower Avenue.
4. More than 100 homes (access road maximum) appear to use South Flower
Avenue.
5. There is no proposal for providing an on site, or augmenting an existing
park.
Conclusions by Planning Commission: The project does not meet this
requirement. South Flower Avenue needs to meet City standards due to
increasing use and current and anticipated growth. Proposal needs to provide
for Parks.
9. The tree retention plan doesn't address the critical areas, and needs to be clarified. The
applicant is requesting to remove six significant trees with a DBH exceeding 36". The
Resolution No. 04-06
Page 7 of 12
removal of any significant tree with a DBH of 36 inches or greater shall require City
Council approval upon the following standards:
1. The proposed use cannot reasonably accommodate the retention of the
significant tree; and,
2. The significant tree shall be replaced with new trees measuring 2.5 inches caliper
and 6 feet in height, at a replacement rate of 3 trees for each significant tree removed.
Shoreline Master Program
The Shoreline Master Program identifies policies that shall be adhered to for all development
with the shorelines of statewide interest. Those policies and staff response specific to this
development are:
1. Recognize and protect the statewide interest over local interest.
Staff Response: The design of the proposed Planned Residential Development has
designated approximately 7.06 acres of the property to permanent open space to
protect the shoreline and associated buffer areas.
2. Preserve the natural character of the shoreline.
Staff Response: The open space tract will preserve both the resource and habitat
area. The SEPA mitigation measures further limit intrusion into the natural buffer of the
shoreline.
3. Result in long term over short term benefit.
Staff Response: Preservation of the shoreline and buffer in a permanent open space
tract to be recorded with the plat and notice to title for each lot adjacent to this area/
will result in a long term benefit.
4. Protect the resources and ecology of the shoreline.
Staff Response: The resources and ecology of the shoreline are protected in the open
space tract
5. Increase public access to publicly owned areas of the shoreline; and,
6. Increase recreational opportunities for the public on the shorelines.
Staff Response: The shoreline of Blackjack Creek has severe steep slopes adjacent to
it with potentially erodable soils. The proposed PRD lot layout does not provide and
access easement from the lots to the shoreline and/or its/ buffer. Access to the
shoreline in this area could present health safety, and welfare concerns because of the
steep slopes associated with the creek and could impact the quality of habitat in the
natural environment.
