A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PORT ORCHARD, WASHINGTON

be improved to meet the traffic demands of increased land use density;
THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT ORCHARD HEREBY
RESOLVES THE FOLLOWING POLICY:
1. Melcher Street between Sherman Avenue and Pottery Avenue will
be designated a Collector road after the adjacent area is
substantially developed.
2. Pottery Avenue between Melcher Street and Tremont Street will
be designated a Collector road after the adjacent area is
substantially developed.
3. Whenever a parcel of property which abuts the two described
segments of Melcher Street and Pottery Avenue are granted a
short plat, subdivision or land use reclassification action,

a. Each property adjacent to this section of Melcher Street
will dedicate a strip of property 15 feet wide along
this road to be public right of way. The total width of
the collector road shall be a minimum of 60 feet. The
dedication of land will allow the street to be developed
to its full width.
b. Each property adjacent to this section of Pottery Avenue
will dedicate a strip of property along this road to be
