Mayor Weatherill convened the City of Port Orchard SEPA Appeal Board and
opened the public hearing relevant to an Appeal of the Mitigated Determination
of Non -significance which was issued for the Olympic Terrace Apartment Zone
Reclassification Application. This Appeal was filed by South Kitsap School
District #402 addressing the specific condition on school impact fees.
Councilman Childress excused himself and stepped down from SEPA Appeal Board
due to potential conflict of interest.
City Engineer Curles reviewed the City's SEPA process, the proposed Olympic
Terrace Apartment Project and the background of the City's school impact fee
policy.
Rudolph Fyles, Director of Capital Projects, South Kitsap School District No.
402, requested school impact fees be instituted by the City and be due in
conjunction with the building permit process. Mr. Fyles suggested school
impact fees be established at $577.00 per multiple family unit and $962.00 per
single family dwelling.
William M. Palmer, representing Wiley -Wolf Partnership, owners of subject
property, spoke against requirement of school impact fees expressing the
opinion that such fees are an unfair tax and there is no justification to
impose this fee without a city ordinance establishing impact fees.
Guy Spencer, architect for Olympic Terrace Apartment Project outlined
funding resources available to schools and cited Washington State Constitution
requirement that the State fully fund basic education.

Dick A. Brown described history of site and the negotiation of various impact
fees with Kitsap County. Mr. Brown discussed the need to seek revenues for
school capital facilities by bond issues instead of impact fees.
Mr. Eyles rebutted projected student population figures and statements
presented by Mr. Spencer and further offered to start dialogue with City
officials regarding adoption of school impact fee plan.
Mr. Spencer voiced concern that this property has paid taxes for many years,
including school taxes, without adding any impact on school population or
facilities.
Mayor Weatherill called for additional input. As no response was received the
Appeal was referred to the SEPA Appeal Board for consideration.
After limited discussion, SEPA Appeal Boardmember Morrison moved to deny
Appeal submitted by South Kitsap School District No. 402, motion seconded by
SEPA Appeal Boardmember Grable and approved with a vote of 6 ayes and 0 nays.
Mayor Weatherill adjourned SEPA Appeal Board and recessed Council meeting for

Mayor Weatherill reconvened Council meeting and opened Public Nearing
regarding request for an amendment to Ordinance No. 1496 which approved a Land

Request has been submitted by Eugene Asa seeking deletion of Condition Number
3 which states, "That the future (proposed) additional 20 unit structure to be
located at the rear of the property not be approved as part of this
application.".
City Engineer Curles gave staff report stating proponents would like to
construct an assisted living apartment building at this time. A determination
of non -significance has been issued as a result of the SEPA review.
Mayor Weatherill called for public input in favor of proposed amendment or in
opposition to proposed amendment.

building and expansion of Ridgemont Terrace Physical Therapy Department. Mr.
Asa stressed need for this type of facility within South Kitsap community.

of Ridgemont Terrace Nursing Nome on Pottery Avenue. As no further input was
received, Mayor Weatherill referred matter to Council for consideration.
