October 12, 1998
Council of the City of Port Orchard, Washington, called to regular session by Mayor Leslie J. Weatherill at
7:30 P.M. at City Hall, 216 Prospect Street. Council members present: Clauson, Wyatt, Morrison, Geiger,
Powers, Van Zee, and Stansbery. Staff present: City Clerk Parks, Deputy Clerk Merlino, Police Chief
Mathews, City Engineer Curies, City Planner Gross, City Attorney Hanson, and Fire District 7 Contract
representative, Assistant Chief Snow.
Councilman Van Zee led the audience and Council in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Mayor Weatherill asked for audience comments for items not listed on this agenda. No comments were
received.
Mayor Weatherill referred to letter from Jim James requesting permission to construct two model homes at
the Aidan Place Subdivision, prior to issuance of building permits and approval from Annapolis Water
District and Sewer District No. 5. Councilman Wyatt stepped down from Council table and refrained from
discussion, since he owns property within 300' of the Aldan Place Subdivision.
Mr. James advised these homes would not be sold and used only as display models for future building sites.
Mr. James stated he is expecting approval from Annapolis Water District and Sewer District No. 5 within 45
days.
City Engineer Curles advised if Council approves this request it would be in conflict with Ordinance No.
1646 the Concurrency Ordinance, which specifies prior to issuance of building permits, water and sewer
connections must be approved.
After much discussion, Mr. James withdrew his request and Council concurred with his withdrawal.
Mayor Weatherill opened the 7:35 PM Public Hearing regarding an application modifying Condition 6 of
Resolution No. 1812. The property owner is Lee Sebring and the applicant is Western Wireless PCS. The
proposal is to replace the required strobe light with a light atop the tower, which does not blink. The tower is
located at 851 Mitchell Avenue. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Attachment "A".
City Planner Gross advised Western Wireless is requesting a modification to Resolution No. 1812, Condition
6 which requires a strobe light at the top of the pole for helicopter safety. Since the Federal Aviation
Administration does not require a strobe light and a solid red warning light would be less disruptive to the
neighbors, the recommendation would be to modify Condition 6 to allow a solid red warning light.
Mayor Weatherill called for audience comments concerning the proposed modification to Condition 6 of
Resolution No. 1812. As no further comments were received, Mayor Weatherill closed the Public input
portion of the Public Hearing and referred this matter to Council for their consideration.
On motion by Councilman Clauson, seconded by Councilman Van Zee, Council approved amending
Condition 6 of Resolution No. 1812 which granted a Special Use Permit to Western Wireless for property
located at 851 Mitchell Avenue. Condition 6: The final monopole design must incorporate a StFebe warning
light at the top of the pole for helicopter safety, shielded from adjacent residents.
On motion by Councilman Clauson, seconded by Councilman Morrison, Council approved the following
consent agenda items as follows with 6 ayes. Councilman Wyatt refrained from voting due to items "d" and
"e" regarding Rockport Subdivision and Aidan Place Subdivision. Councilman Wyatt did not participate in
the public input portion of the Public Hearing at the August 24, 1998 meeting on these two subdivisions.
a. Minutes of the September 28, 1998 regular Council meeting, as amended.
b. Approval of Claim Warrants Number 29560-29657 in the amount of $312,536.73 and

located at 514 Bay Street.
On motion by Councilman Morrison, seconded by Councilman Wyatt, Council authorized Mayor
Weatherill to sign Change Order No. 1 for the Tracy Avenue Storm and Water project. The change
order reflects a project decrease of $3,034.14.
City Engineer Curies announced the Water/Sewer Committee of the City Council has scheduled a
meeting with Commissioner Garrido to discuss the best way to provide sanitary sewer service to those
residents along State Route 166, west of the City.
City Engineer Curles advised the City has a lease with Western Wireless, which allowed them to
construct a cellular communication tower at the one million -gallon water reservoir site on Lloyd
Parkway. The tower was inadvertently constructed in the southeast corner of the property instead of
the northeast corner. City Engineer Curies stated the location of the tower does not affect the City's
ability to operate and maintain the reservoir and is recommending Exhibit B-1 of the City's Lease
Agreement be modified to show the actual location of the Western Wireless tower.
On motion by Councilman Stansbery, seconded by Councilman Morrison, Council authorized the
modification to Exhibit B-1 of the City's Lease Agreement to show the actual location of the Western
Wireless tower located on Lloyd Parkway.
Meeting adjourned at 8:28 PM.
