Mayor Weatherill opened meeting with property owners to discuss proposed
annexation of property commonly known as the Vine Street Corporation
Annexation. (East of existing City limits to Palmer Avenue, north of SR160 to
Orlando Street and Fourth Street.)
Fred Browning, Washington State Veterans Home, stated they did not oppose this
annexation but questioned how this action will effect their property.
Jim Svensson, Division Director of Planning for Kitsap County voiced County
concerns as follows: (1) boundaries as presented would divide a commercial
development which was approved as a P.U.D. with 19 conditions. County
officials feel a jurisdictional division would adversely effect undeveloped
portion of the P.U.Q. area. (2) Veterans Memorial Park is within the proposed
boundaries. Mr. Svensson requested the park property be deleted from the
subject area, stating the County would like the park to remain under County
regulations as this would make future development easier.
Steve Lang, co-owner of Southsound Cinema spoke in favor of the Vine Street
Corp. Annexation citing benefits derived from being part of the City.

responsibility for the storm drainage retention system in this area. City
Engineer Curles advised Mr. Peterson, the City has basically the same storm
drainage rules and regulations as the County and also this retention system is
