We received a comment matrix back with L0 comments. The first 9 comments were not difficult to
implement, however, the LOth comment was something we had fought to have changed 2%years
ago concerning allowing some parking in our downtown by the waterfront. Ecology is now stating
that what they approved 2 years ago was no longer allowed, but there has been no change in state
law. He and staff met with the Department of Ecology and were able to work out a compromise for
the downtown parking. The compromise is consistent with our downtown sub area plan where
parking has been identified in the shoreline buffer, it would be allowed, but nowhere else in the City.
A brief discussion was held and Council had no objections with the proposed changes
Mayor Putaansuu noted this will be brought before Council in about a month.
Council Direction: No direction was given to staff.
B. Ordinance Amending Port Orchard Municipal Code Chapter L3.O4 Regarding Water and Sewer
CFC Credit
Development Director Bond said a couple months ago, we went through a similar process for sewer
as we wanted to incentivize private developers to build capital facilities that are a part of our capital
facility charge for our sewer system. We wanted to do the same type of system for water, but water
is a little different. We already have at least one water CFC credit agreement which warranted
additional language in this ordinance to call out that those agreements will still be recognized under
this new water CFC credit framework. Another difference is the 1998 Purchase and Sale Agreement
for the McCormick Water System included certain obligations of the City that we did not have on the
sewer side. We do not want to limit ourselves to a fixed percentage of how much we can provide
credit towards a project that serves a particular area. That will allow us to negotiate a more flexible
agreement which takes into account the 1998 agreement.
Additionally, this has been to the Utility Committee who recommended this be brought to Council
for discussion tonight. This was also brought before the Finance Committee this evening who had no
objections, This will be brought before Council for adoption at the first meeting in September.
Council Direction: No direction was given to staff.
