Purchase of a Vermeer BC-1000XL Public Works Director
Woodchipper via DES Contract 366922-0009 PW
No. 05218 January 25, 2022
Summary: The Public Works Department identified the need for a woodchipper for Woodchipper, and the
City Council’s authorized the amount of $50,000.00 in the 2021-2022 Biennial Budget for this purchase.
Due to inflation, the total purchase price has increased above the budgeted amount. Pursuant to Chapter
39.34 RCW, the City executed an interlocal agreement with the Washington State Department of Enterprise
Services (DES) (City Contract No. C057-13) to allow the City to utilize the contracts hosted by DES for
services and purchases, so long as the City confirms the contract complies with all applicable statutory
procurement requirements for the particular purchase or service, per RCW 39.34.030.
The Public Works Department identified Vermeer Northwest as an approved vendor for the desired
woodchipper, awarded via WA DES Contract #05218. Staff reviewed the procurement process utilized by
DES for this contract to confirm the procurement requirements were met and obtained necessary
documentation from DES and the vendor regarding procurement. On January 11, 2022, Public Works
Department staff requested a quote from Vermeer Northwest. On January 13, 2022, Vermeer Northwest
provided a quote of $49,819 (plus applicable tax) for a total purchase price of $54,800.90, and staff verified
this is consistent with the DES Contract pricing. This purchase exceeds the budgeted amount and requires
Council authorization, and the City’s Procurement Policy requires Council approval for purchase prices in
excess $35,000.00. On January 18, 2022, the City’s Public Works Department completed the City’s Interlocal
Agreement Purchase Checklist for the selected vendor.
Relationship to Comprehensive Plan: N/A
Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution authorizing the purchase of a
Vermeer BC-1000XL woodchipper from Vermeer Northwest through WA DES Contract #05218 for a total
purchase price of $54,800.90 (applicable tax included.)
Motion for Consideration: I move to adopt a Resolution authorizing the purchase of a Vermeer BC-1000XL
woodchipper from Vermeer Northwest for a total purchase price of $54,800.90.
Fiscal Impact: The 2021-2022 Biennial Budget allocated $50,000.00 for this purchase. A budget
amendment may be required for the additional $4,800.90.

DISCUSSION ITEMS
1. Parks Plan Review
Community Development Director Bond explained this project was started right as the pandemic
began, but it was delayed and now we feel like we are getting close to a finished product. We hired
a consultant for this project and had an extensive public participation process. The public input is
documented in the draft parks plan. This has been reviewed along with the Planning Commission for
the last six months. The consultant, Mr. Beckwith, has provided presentations to the Planning
Commission. We want to make sure Council priorities are included in the plan, along with a couple
priorities which include updating this plan to be eligible for grant funding from the Recreation
Conservation Office. This plan, once adopted, will give us the ability to apply for grants. Another
objective is that our parks impact fee has not been adjusted in more than eight or ten years. Part of
this plan is the basis of a parks impact fee update.

Mr. Bond briefly discussed specific park projects and private facilities.
Tom Beckwith with Beckwith Consulting, provided a presentation which included the planning
process steps, population growth implications, recreation activity projections, existing park assets,
gaps in park development, social equity considerations, current park utilization, current recreation
behavior, future park priorities, partnerships and volunteers, proposals-open space, waterfront
access, off-road trails, on-road trails, skate dots/pump tracks, courts and fields, implementation
project list, and financing.
Additional discussion was held regarding Lundberg Park, inflation factor, CIP’s, proposed park impact
fee, adoption of plan, and private facilities.
Council Direction: No direction given to staff.
2. Fireworks Discussion
Mayor Putaansuu noted this discussion has been to the Land Use Committee. He spoke about data
regarding fires, injuries and damage caused by fireworks. A draft ordinance has been prepared. Any
action taken in 2022 would not go into effect until 2023.
Community Development Director Bond said the hope is Council will look at the draft ordinance and
figure out if they want to move forward with a hearing or if further changes are needed before any
public outreach.
Discussion was held regarding public hearings, potential action, making sure the public is aware of
this potential change, debris fallout from fireworks, impact to pets and wildlife, mailers to the
firework stands to let them know of the potential change, and reaching out to the City of Bainbridge
Island to ask them about their processes and lessons learned from adopting a similar ordinance.
Councilmember Clauson apologized for missing the last part of the parks plan review discussion as
he was having internet issues. He wanted to add a couple comments to that discussion which include
the South Kitsap Western Little League is a City and not a County facility, and asked about the
demographic similarities that were mentioned in the plan and the comparisons to Seattle and King
County.
Council Direction: Revise the draft ordinance to mention debris fallout and the impact to pets and
wildlife.
3. Establishing the 2022 Council Committees and Appointments
Mayor Putaansuu explained he surveyed the Council and asked for their committee priorities. Due
to most Councilmembers wanting to be appointed to the Finance Committee, a public poll via Zoom
was conducted to find out who should serve on that committee.

After a brief discussion, it was tentatively agreed the retreat would be held on March 11, 2022,

on how the ADU legislation is shaping up and how its removing some of the regulatory authority of
jurisdictions.

supporting housing]. Housing Kitsap has given us four homes at Heritage Mobile Home Park that
need roofs, decks and handicamp ramps totaling about $42,000. If there are no objections, the city
attorney is working on an agreement with Housing Kitsap, and Finance Director Crocker is verifying
this is an appropriate expenditure. He is also working with Kitsap Homes of Compassion and received
a proposal for three group homes in Port Orchard. They would house up to four individuals. He said
to receive these funds for home improvement, we must be 60% or less median household income.
Councilmember Chang voiced his concerns with the Housing Kitsap agreement.
Mayor Putaansuu said he thought he was going to have a conflict with attending next week’s

A. Continued: Veterans Park
City Attorney Archer provided several photos that the City’s code enforcement officer had taken.
These photos showed the contrast between last December and today, and how it appears things
have gotten worse including trash and criminal activity. She also spoke to assessing civil penalties to
the County. The hope is to do this in conjunction with the health organization who also issued a code
enforcement notice and indicated their next steps were also civil penalties.
Additional discussion was held regarding County feedback and progress, steps to remove an RV, next
steps, services if accesses are blocked, dumpsters and porta potties, County plans to clear the
pathway, cost cleanup pricing, housing the unhoused living in the park, and a city workplan.
Council Direction: Staff to work on a next steps plan and bring back before Council.
B. Required Risk Management Service Agency Training

After a brief discussion, Council agreed to take the Risk of Social Media in the Workplace course. This
is an online course the Council can take individually.
Council Direction: No direction given to staff.
C. Kitsap Homes of Compassion
Mayor Putaansuu introduced Joel Adamson, who runs Kitsap Homes of Compassion. He works with
the City of Poulsbo operating a group home and has one in our urban growth area, but we cannot
use our 1406 money [HB 1406 Encouraging investments in affordable and supporting housing] except
for areas within our City. Mr. Adamson has provided a proposal to operate up to three group homes
that we could subsidize the operation of. They meet with the City’s navigator last week and talked
about some of her needs which included that some of these individuals may qualify for SSI benefits,
they have not gone through the process to be approved for them. We would like one of the beds to
be for an individual, who while going through the six to nine months process, can pay for their room.
Mr. Adamson explained the operation of the current group homes and what they provide. He
believes a long-term solution is needed in Kitsap County to solve the problem permanently. This has
been the answer to what other cities have found to be a permanent solution.
Mayor Putaansuu spoke to a couple proposals and what he would like to bring back before Council.
Additional discussion was held regarding plans to make sure these individuals get back to becoming
contributing members of our society, the statistics for Port Orchard when this program begins,
additional funding for rental costs, and pricing for the homes.
Council Direction: No direction was given to staff.

Agenda Staff Report
Agenda Item No.: Public Hearing 6A Meeting Date: February 8, 2022
Subject: Public Hearing on a Petition to Vacate Prepared by: Brandy Wallace, MMC
City Right-of-Way, a Southern Portion City Clerk
of Opened Bay Street – Request to Atty Routing No: 366922-0009 - PW
Strike Atty Review Date: 02.04.2022
Summary: Petitioners Walter and Roberta Huth Trustees, owners of 1819 Bay Street, Kitsap County Tax
Parcel No. 4027-034-003-0007, submitted a petition to vacate a portion of City right-of-way (ROW). The
ROW is an opened portion of Bay Street, directly adjacent to the Petitioners’ parcel to the south,
approximately 200 square feet in total area.
The Clerk received a complete application conforming with the requirements of Port Orchard Municipal
Code chapter 12.08, including Section 12.08.010. The Public Works Director supports the vacation, as
this is necessary to receive clean title for the federally funded Pedestrian Pathway Project. The area is
currently encumbered by a portion of a structure owned by the petitioners.
On January 11, 2022, the Council adopted Resolution No. 009-22, setting a public hearing date and time.
When preparing for the notices for the hearing, it was discovered that due to a calculation error there
was an insufficient amount of time for staff to prepare the noticing and posting to meet the
requirements of the Port Orchard Municipal Code, which requires public notice of the hearing no less
than 20 days in advance of the hearing.
Later on tonight’s agenda for the City Council’s consideration is a resolution re-setting the public hearing
for March 8, 2022. Staff is asking the Council not to hold this public hearing this evening
Recommendation: Staff recommends not holding the public hearing.
Attachments: None.

Subject: Public Hearing on the City of Port Prepared by: Mark R. Dorsey, P.E.
Orchard 2020 Water System Plan Public Works Director
(2022 Adoption) Atty Routing No.: 366922-0013 – Water
Atty Review Date: February 1, 2022
Summary: The Growth Management Act (GMA) requires that each city that plans under the GMA
periodically review, and if needed, revise its capital facilities plan(s)—inclusive of the City’s Water System
Plan—to ensure compliance with the Growth Management Act. As part of that effort, in 2019 and 2020,
the City conducted a comprehensive review of the Water System Plan, including new system modeling,
and identified necessary updates to its existing Water System Plan due to increased development that
necessitates the construction of new infrastructure. As a result of those efforts, staff prepared a draft
2020 Water System Plan. On October 26, 2020, the City of Port Orchard issued a Programmatic SEPA
threshold Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) for the proposed 2020 Water System Plan, as
prepared by BHC Engineers, Inc. The City published the DNS and received no comments.
City Staff then continued to work with the Washington State Department of Health – Office of Drinking
Water (DOH-ODW) on Plan approval, consistent with applicable regulations. Due to the COVID-19 public
health emergency, Washington State Department of Health review and approval of the new Water
System Plan was delayed. As a result of this delay, the City Council took parallel actions that pertained to
the Water System Plan in 2021 in advance of DOH approval. First, due to the City’s urgent need to
update its Water System Capital Improvement Plan, a component of the Water System Plan, so as to
timely update the City’s Water Capital Facilities Charges to accurately reflect need and costs without
further delay, the City Council adopted Ordinance 022-21—following a duly noticed public hearing—on
May 11, 2021. Second, on September 14, 2021, following a duly noticed public hearing, the City Council
adopted Resolution 049-21, setting the City’s 2021-2030 Water Use Efficiency Goals and acknowledging
the corresponding Water Use Efficiency Program in the draft Water System Plan, still (at the time) on
review with the Department of Health. Finally, after multiple public hearings (on November 16, 2021,
December 7, 2021, and December 21, 2021) the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 067-21, amending
the City’s Comprehensive Plan, including amendments to the Capital Facilities Element, Utilities Element,
and the 2020 Water System Plan.
The City received DOH-ODW approval of the 2020 Water System Plan in late November 2021. This
evening’s public hearing would provide another opportunity for public participation in the Plan adoption
process. Following the public hearing the Council will be considering an Ordinance to adopt
Page 64 of 398
Staff Report 6B
Page 2 of 2
the Water System Plan, after reviewing and considering comments received from tonight’s public
hearing along with all previous comments received.
Recommendation: Open and conduct the Public Hearing
Alternatives: Do not open the Public Hearing and provide alternative direction
Attachments: Ordinance and Final Draft 2020 Water System Plan which includes the Programmatic
Determination of Non-Significance -Dated 10/26/2020. (The Water System Plan is too large to include

Vacate City Right-of-Way, the Southern Atty Routing No.: 366922-0009 – PW
Portion of opened Bay Street Atty Review Date: 02/04/2022
Summary: Petitioners Walter and Roberta Huth Trustees, owners of 1819 Bay Street, Kitsap County Tax
Parcel No. 4027-034-003-0007, submitted a petition to vacate City right-of-way (ROW). The ROW is an
opened portion of Bay Street, is directly adjacent to the Petitioners’ parcel to the south, and is
approximately 200 square feet in total area. The area is currently encumbered by a portion of a structure
owned by the petitioners.
The Clerk received a complete application conforming with the requirements of Port Orchard Municipal
Code chapter 12.08, including Section 12.08.010. The Public Works Director supports the vacation, as
this is necessary to receive clean title for the federally funded Pedestrian Pathway Project. A portion of
the petitioners property is in the City’s ROW.
Chapter 35.79 RCW requires the City to adopt a resolution setting the date and time of a Public Hearing
to hear and determine the petition to vacate the City’s right-of-way. Staff is seeking direction from the

Agenda Staff Report
Agenda Item No.: Business Item 7B Meeting Date: February 8, 2022
Subject: Adoption of an Ordinance Adopting the Prepared by: Mark Dorsey, P.E.
2020 Water System Plan (2022 Public Works Director
Adoption) Atty Routing No.: 366922-0013 – Water
Atty Review Date: February 1, 2022
Summary: The Growth Management Act (GMA) requires that each city that plans under the GMA
periodically review, and if needed, revise its capital facilities plan(s)—inclusive of the City’s Water
System Plan—to ensure compliance with the Growth Management Act. As part of that effort, in 2019
and 2020, the City conducted a comprehensive review of the Water System Plan, including new system
modeling, and identified necessary updates to its existing Water System Plan due to increased
development that necessitates the construction of new infrastructure. As a result of those efforts, staff
prepared a draft 2020 Water System Plan. On October 15, 2020, staff completed and distributed a SEPA
Checklist for the 2020 Water System Plan. On October 26, 2020, the City of Port Orchard issued a
Programmatic Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) for the 2020 Water System Plan. No comments
were received during the SEPA comment period.
City Staff then continued to work with the Washington State Department of Health – Office of Drinking
Water (DOH-ODW) on Plan approval, consistent with applicable regulations. Due to the COVID-19 public
health emergency, Washington State Department of Health review and approval of the new Water
System Plan was delayed. As a result of this delay, the City Council took parallel actions that pertained to
the Water System Plan in 2021 in advance of DOH approval. First, due to the City’s urgent need to
update its Water System Capital Improvement Plan, a component of the Water System Plan, so as to
timely update the City’s Water Capital Facilities Charges to accurately reflect need and costs without
further delay, the City Council adopted Ordinance 022-21—following a duly noticed public hearing—on
May 11, 2021. Second, on September 14, 2021, following a duly noticed public hearing, the City Council
adopted Resolution 049-21, setting the City’s 2021-2030 Water Use Efficiency Goals and acknowledging
the corresponding Water Use Efficiency Program in the draft Water System Plan, still (at the time) on
review with the Department of Health. Finally, after multiple public hearings (on November 16, 2021,
December 7, 2021, and December 21, 2021) the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 067-21, amending
the City’s Comprehensive Plan, including amendments to the Capital Facilities Element, Utilities Element,
and the 2020 Water System Plan.
The City received DOH-ODW approval of the 2020 Water System Plan in late November 2021. At the
request of the Department of Health, this Ordinance would memorialize final action of the City Council to
approve the 2020 Water System Plan. Earlier in the meeting of February 8, 2022, a Public Hearing was held
to receive additional public comment on the revised 2020 Water System Plan, which now includes
Page 79 of 398
Staff Report 7B
Page 2 of 2
Washington DOH-ODW “approvable” status. Again, the approved 2020 Water System Plan (2022
adoption) was developed in consideration of the goals of the GMA for the development of local Capital
Facilities Plans and reflects a careful balancing of these goals within the local conditions of the City of
Port Orchard. This update was developed from and is consistent with the Port Orchard Comprehensive
Plan.
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of an Ordinance adopting the 2020 Water System Plan.
Motion for consideration: I move to adopt an Ordinance adopting the 2020 Water System Plan.
Fiscal Impact: None
Alternatives: N/A
Attachments: Ordinance and 2020 Water System Plan (2022 Adoption). (Final Draft 2020 Water
System Plan which includes the Programmatic Determination of Non-Significance -Dated 10/26/2020.

Space (PROS) Plan Dated January 31, 2022 Atty Routing No.: N/A
Atty Review Date: N/A
Summary: The City of Port Orchard initiated a Parks Plan update in 2020. The City is required to update its
Parks Plan to reestablish eligibility for grant funding from the state Recreation Conservation Office and to
update its park impact fee. The Parks Plan is also an opportunity to develop a capital improvement program
and project list to guide the city for the next comprehensive planning period (2024-2044).
At the January City Council work study meeting, the City’s consultant appeared and presented a near final
draft of the Parks Plan. The City Council instructed staff to bring forward a resolution to adopt the new parks
plan so that the City could participate in the 2022 round of RCO grant funding. In addition, the Parks Plan has
been submitted for inclusion in the City’s Comprehensive Plan and will be considered as part of the 2022
annual amendments.
Relationship to Comprehensive Plan: The 2022 Parks Plan will be considered as a Comprehensive Plan
amendment as part of the 2022 docket.
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of a resolution adopting the 2022 Port Orchard Parks,
Recreation, and Open Space Plan.

Port Orchard PROS Plan 1
Chapter 1: Introduction
Port Orchard has grown since the last Park & Recreation Element
was updated in the Comprehensive Plan in 2011 and slightly
amended in 2014.
The choices that confront Port Orchard at the present time are
significant and could alter the character and quality of open space,
trail, and park facilities, and recreation programs and services if not
adequately planned.
This document outlines the choices that are available and the
means for implementing preferred actions found to be beneficial to
Port Orchard residents.
Objectives
The specific objectives of this planning effort were to:
Define the setting – within Port Orchard including climate,
environment, wildlife habitat, history, culture, population changes,
and current development conditions.
Inventory assets – existing public and private park facilities and
recreational services that have been developed to-date within Port
Orchard by the city, Port of Bremerton, Kitsap County, South Kitsap
School District, Washington State Parks & Recreation Commission,
and private non-profit and for-profit organizations.
Forecast demand – for future open space, trails, and park facilities
and recreation services that may be provided by the city or other
agencies.
Identify appropriate roles and responsibilities – that should be
undertaken by Port Orchard to meet critical open space, trail, and
park facilities and recreation program needs.
Develop the elements of a citywide plan – for open space, trails,
and park facilities and recreation programs including wildlife
habitat and conservation areas, open spaces and natural resource
areas, trails, athletic fields and facilities, indoor community and
recreation centers, and other special purpose facilities.
Determine the costs – involved in maintaining and/or improving
open space, trails, and park facilities and recreation program levels-
of-service (LOS), particularly the possible use of innovative
financing tools or methods.
Define an implementation program – outlining the actions
necessary to realize the plan and update park impact fees including
supporting actions necessary for agreements with Kitsap County,
Port or Bremerton, South Kitsap School District, Washington State,
and private non-profit and for-profit organization.
Determine public opinion – through a series of public participation
events and resolve final project, plan, and financing components
based on the results of public input.
Approach
This study analyzed the supply, demand, and need for public and
private open space, trail, and park facilities and recreation services
within Port Orchard on a citywide basis and in the city’s urban
growth area. The analysis includes city, port, county, state, school
district, Homeowner Association (HOA), and some private park and
recreation assets in order to holistically determine needs, and
demand, and thereby the city’s ultimate role in coordinating the
development of park and recreational facilities in the future
including the city’s role and responsibilities.
While HOA and other private facilities are included, that does not
mean that these parks are available for public use. It is up to park
users to follow posted and adopted rules and make authorized use
of HOA and other private facilities.

2 Port Orchard PROS Plan
The proposed implementation strategies are the result of this
comprehensive or holistic analysis. Generally, the proposed
strategies recommend the city focus its resources where open
space, trail, and park facilities and recreation needs are most
critical and the most effective.
Public involvement
The Port Orchard Community Development Department oversaw
this planning process. During the course of the planning program,
the Department conducted a series of:
On-line surveys – conducted of city adult residents at the
beginning and end of the process to determine their current park
utilization practices, condition assessments, and recommendations.
The proposals contained within this document represent the
opinions developed from these public participation events.
Documentation
This report is organized into 6 chapters outlining goals and
objectives, plan and program elements, and implementation
measures.
Separate technical appendices detailing the city setting, facility
inventories, park opportunities, land and facility demands,
finances, and public opinion are available from the Port Orchard
Community Development Department.

programs within Port Orchard for the next 6-20 years. The program
proposals are CONCEPTUAL, in some instances, subject to further
study and coordination with public and private participants that
may modify the eventual program particulars.
Population projections
Kitsap County’s population - in 1900 was 6,767 persons located
primarily along Sinclair Inlet waterfront in Bremerton. The county’s
population increased to 17,647 persons by 1910 or by an annual
rate of growth of 10.4% as railroads extended into Kitsap County
and the area’s logging, agriculture, and fishing industries grew in
importance.
Kitsap County population increased over the decades due to the
development of the ship building industry, the advent of World War
1and 2, and the location of military installations in the county.
Recent growth rates, however, have been gradual averaging 0.8%
between 2000-2010 and 0.7% between 2010-2015 due largely to the
impact of the economic recession on area industries.
Washington State’s Office of Financial Management (OFM) expects
Kitsap County’s rate of growth will gradually decline from 1.3% on
an annual average basis between 2015 and 2020 to 0.6% by 2050
due to the aging of the population.
Population components - OFM expects the number of deaths in
Kitsap County will increase from 9,912 between 2010-2015 to
19,990 by 2035-2040 due to the aging of the county population
while births will only slightly increase from 15,401 between 2010-
2015 to 18,637 by 2035-2040 due to a declining proportion of the
population in child-bearing ages and a stable and low birth rate. Net
migration will increase from 5,410 in-migrating persons in 2010-
2015 to 10,091 persons by 2035-2040 contributing to Pierce
County’s continued resident population growth.
Age distribution – within Kitsap County will shift with a slightly
less proportion of the population in child ages 0-19 of 12.1% in
2020 versus 11.5% by 2050 and more in senior ages 65+ of 20.1% in
2020 versus 24.2% by 2050 reflecting the continued aging of the
population in the county similar to the trends nationally.
Port Orchard’s population – in 1900 was 254 persons located along
the Sinclair Inlet waterfront. Port Orchard’s population increased to
1,393 by 1920 or by an annual average rate of 8.7% as the city
attracted agriculture, logging, and fishing industries as a result of
steam shipping.
Port Orchard’s population totals and rate of growth increased
gradually from 1920 to 2000 as the city’s natural resource
industries stabilized and retailing increased, and more significantly
from 2000 to 2020 as the area attracted housing developers
particularly of the McCormick Woods planned community.
The city’s population and annual average rate of growth are
expected to increase from 15,260 persons in 2021 to 20,588
persons by the year 2036 or by 135% due to the area’s urban
densification under GMA allocations and an assumption that the
city will gradually annex the residential developments within its
unincorporated urban growth area (UGA). Population projections
will be updated in the 2022 Comprehensive Plan update.
Population components – most of Port Orchard’s growth is
expected to be due to births and in-migration from households
seeking to live in Port Orchard’s emerging urban center.

Age distribution – Port Orchard’s age distribution is generated by
determining the percent Port Orchard has attracted of each Pierce
County age group then factoring the attraction rate forward through
the projection years and reducing the resulting combined age group
totals to match the city’s total population allocation for each year.
Port Orchard’s age distribution will gradually shift with an
increasing population in child ages 0-19 of 3,719 persons in 2020 to
5,793 by 2050 or by 156% and a significantly increasing proportion
of the population concentrated in senior ages 65+ of 3,030 persons
in 2020 to 6,676 persons by 2050 or by 220% similar to what will
occur in Pierce County.
Recreation demand
Washington State’s Recreation & Conservation Office (RCO) develops
a Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) every
6 years to help decision-makers better understand recreation issues
statewide and to maintain Washington’s eligibility for federal Land
and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) funds.
RCO conducted a series of 12-month diary surveys of a random
sample of Washington State residents in 2000 and 2006, and an
annual survey in 2012 to determine the type of indoor and outdoor
recreation activities residents engaged in over the year including
the resident’s age, gender, ethnicity, income, and regional place of
residence.
The RCO SCORP surveys recorded what residents participated in of
140 different indoor and outdoor activities and special spectator
events including the participation rate and number of occasions per
year by season, month, week, and type of environment (urban,
rural, mountain). The surveys did not record the location of the
activity.
The 2006 RCO diary based survey is used in this analysis
because it was the most comprehensive and age-specific of the
RCO surveys and used computer-assisted telephone interviews of
randomly sampled persons (with no more than 1 person per
household) during each month of the 12-month survey period from
each of the 10 tourism regions.
Kitsap County is located in the Peninsula Region that extends from
Kitsap and Mason west through Jefferson and Clallam Counties. For
projection purposes, however, Port Orchard recreation behaviors
are likely more representative of the Seattle-King County Region
given Port Orchard’s level of urbanization and age distributed
population groups.
The 2006 statewide survey was completed by 2,135 persons and
collated and weighted by age, gender, region, race, and income of
which 300 were completed from the Seattle-King County region and
weighted accordingly. The survey is within a +/-2.5% statewide and
+/-6.0% by region. Response by age, gender, region, race/ethnicity,
and income varies.
The 2006 RCO survey elicited what participants did for recreational
activities but not where the activity occurred. Survey participants
from Pierce County may engage in activities but possibly outside of
Pierce County, and conversely participants from other regions may
travel to engage in activities in Pierce County. The survey did not
control for user transpositions between regions.
Since the survey was taken in 2006, the survey may not completely
reflect recent regional activity trends in some select and emerging
activities such as skateboard parks, dog parks, lacrosse, or other
niche behaviors.

Participation rates
The 2006 RCO survey found significant differences in the statewide
population’s participation in recreation activities including
distinctions for Port Orchard (Seattle-King County) participants.
Top 5 activities with the highest percent of the population
participating – in Port Orchard (Seattle-King County) included
walking without a pet, picnicking, barbequing, or cooking out,
sightseeing, bicycle riding, and social event indoors.
Bottom 5 activities with the lowest percent of the population
participating – in Port Orchard (Seattle-King County) included
rugby, surfboarding, wind surfing, lacrosse, and bicycle touring.
Organized team sports – involved lesser percentages of the
population of the Port Orchard (Seattle-King County) ranging from
the highest for soccer (15.7%) to the lowest for rugby (0.0%).
Indoor community center activities – involved a varying range of
percentages of the population participating from a social event
indoors (35.9%), aerobics/fitness activities (33.9%), swimming in a
pool (27.6%), weight conditioning at a facility (21.6%), class or
instruction (15.1%), activity center (11.5%), and arts and crafts class
or activity (5.0%). Generally, indoor or community center related
activities engage the population in greater percentages than
organized team sports.
Environmental or cultural activities – involved a varying range of
percentages of the population participating from sightseeing
(48.1%), observe or photograph wildlife or nature (34.2%),
beachcombing (20.7%), and visit a nature interpretive center
(15.1%). Generally, environmental or cultural related activities
engage the population in greater percentages than indoor or
community centers as well as organized team sports.

Annual frequencies
The 2006 RCO survey determined the number of times or the
annual frequency that an average participant would engage in each
activity. The frequency averages are for all kinds of participants.
Enthusiasts or organized team players may engage more frequently
than the average indicates but are included within the averaging
nonetheless.
Activities with the highest annual frequencies of over 10.0
occasions – in Port Orchard (Seattle-King County) were for walking
without a pet (27.4 times per year), walking with a pet (18.0),
observing and photographing wildlife (16.3), jogging or running
(11.7), skateboarding (11.3), and playgrounds (10.5).
Activities with the lowest annual frequencies of less than 2.0
occasions – in Port Orchard (Seattle-King County) were for rugby
(0.0 times per year), surfboarding (0.0), climbing or mountaineering
indoors (1.0), windsurfing (1.0), and visiting a nature or interpretive
center (1.7).
Organized team sports – in Port Orchard (Seattle-King County)
ranged from the highest for basketball (6.8 times) to the lowest for
rugby (0.0).
Indoor community center activities – in Port Orchard (Seattle-King
County) were activity center (7.7 times per year), class or
instruction (6.0), swimming in a pool (5.0), arts and crafts (3.9), and
social event (2.4). Generally, indoor or community center
frequencies are similar to the range of organized team sports.
Environmental or cultural activities – in Port Orchard (Seattle-King
County) were observing or photographing wildlife (16.3 times per
year), sightseeing (5.1), beachcombing (2.8), and visiting a nature or
interpretive center (1.7). Generally, environmental or cultural
related activities that involve observing or photographing wildlife
occur in greater numbers per year than indoor or community
centers as well as organized team sports.
Port Orchard’s annual volumes 2020-2040
Port Orchard’s total volume of annual recreation activity is
determined by multiplying the age-specific participation and
frequency or occurrence rates by the number of persons projected
to be in each age-specific category for the projection years.
The following table itemizes the projected total annual volume in
2020, 2040, and the amount and percent of volume increase that
will occur between 2020-2040.

Source: RCO SCORP Survey 2006
§ Greatest annual volume in 2040 – will be observing wildlife
(116,012 occurrences) due to the high percentage of the population
that engage in the activity and the high number of times or
frequencies that they engage per year.
§ Significant but substantially less volumes in 2040 – will be
playground at a park or school (79,043 occurrences), aerobics or
fitness at a facility (76,294 occurrences), and walking in a park or
trail setting (70,704 occurrences), and walking with a pet on-leash
in a park (42,808 occurrences).
§ Lowest annual volume in 2040 – will be for bike riding as a
daytrip tour (157 occurrences), lacrosse (254 occurrences), and
skateboarding on a trail or in a skateboard park (363 occurrences)
due to the low percentage of the population that engages in the
activity and the low annual frequency.
Percent would like to do more
In addition to participation and frequency, the 2006 survey also
asked respondents to indicate their preferences to engage in
activities they did not participate in or to engage more frequently in
activities that they did. Survey results were collated on a statewide
per person basis only due to the smaller respondent sample size.

Generally, survey participants would like to do and if already
participating in, would like to do more of activities with the highest
participation rates already including sightseeing (50.6% do and do
more), hiking (38.4%), picnicking (37.9%), and so on.
Were survey participants to engage in activities and to engage more
in activities they are already participating in they could increase the
volume of activity but not change the overall rank order of activity
participation.
Recreational clearinghouse
Port Orchard could seek to operate a web-based recreational
clearinghouse coordinating recreational program offerings that
include as wide a variety of activities as there is an interest by city
residents and tourists, regardless of age, skill level, income – or
program provider.
Recreational program offerings offered through the clearinghouse
should include activities providing health, education, social,
recreational, and other welfare activities for children, teens, adults,
seniors, and special populations.
Community Development staff or contractors could conduct
programs to the extent possible, practical, and consistent with the
city’s mission. However, depending on demand, cost, and
feasibility, the clearinghouse can also coordinate programs to be
conducted by other public, non-profit, or for-profit organizations
and even vendors.
To the extent possible and practical, program offerings should
include activities that will be conducted in Port Orchard parks,
community centers, and trail facilities. However, depending on
demand, the clearinghouse may also include program offerings that
may be conducted in schools and other public facilities inside or
out of the city, as well as at non-profit sites and facilities.
Vision
The web-based recreational clearinghouse may be realized through
the coordination of:

22 Port Orchard PROS Plan
§ Port Orchard programs – where there is sufficient demand to
meet the city’s park and recreation mission and pricing and
delivery objectives;
§ Other jurisdictions – including Kitsap County and South
Kitsap School District;
§ Non-profit organizations – such as YMCA, Boy and Girl Scouts,
Campfire USA, Port Orchard athletic leagues, Lions, Rotary, and
Kiwanis Clubs, among others.
Pricing and delivery criteria
Port Orchard will continuously assess the mission criteria
illustrated in the program formula for all program offerings the city
is considering of providing with staff, contract instructors, or
vendors:
1: Is the program consistent with the city’s park and recreation
mission and level of service proposals?
If not - the city does not offer the program, but may facilitate the
program to be offered by other providers including the option of
partnering or brokering the program, and/or offering scholarships
or other services, and/or publishing the program offering on the
clearinghouse.
2: If yes – should the city directly provide the program?
If not – the city does not offer the program, but may facilitate the
program to be offered by other providers including the option of
partnering or brokering the program, and/or offering scholarships
or other services, and/or publishing the program offering on the
clearinghouse.
3: If yes – what pricing policy or goal should the city establish
for the program on a public good or benefit versus private good
or benefit scale – full cost recovery, merit pricing, or full
subsidy?
§ Full cost recovery programs - will recover all direct costs
(including full and part-time staff, supplies, materials, maintenance,
and utilities) and indirect costs (including department overhead for
staff benefits).
Generally, full cost recovery programs will include services that
primarily provide private goods or benefits to a specialized user
group, such as golf courses, marinas, RV parks, gun and rifle
ranges, equestrian facilities, elite adult sports field rentals, and
classes.
In some instances, the city may add a surcharge to recover a slight
profit or return on investment with which to defray long-term life
cycle costs for maintenance and repair, and/or to reinvest in similar
facilities elsewhere in the system.

Port Orchard PROS Plan 23
§ Merit pricing (partial cost recovery) programs – will partially
recover direct and indirect costs based on a policy decision about
the degree to which each program provides public versus private
goods or benefits. Merit pricing programs may also include the
providing of scholarships to eligible user individuals or user groups
that would prevent the program from realizing full cost recovery.
Merit pricing program determinations will consider the degree to
which the program provides a public benefit to the public at large
or to special users within the general population (such as teens or
seniors); whether the program can or is able to be offered by other
providers at a reasonable cost; and the practicality of collecting
fees for service.
Generally, merit price programs may include boat launches, facility
rentals, day camps and field activities, youth sports field rentals,
senior health and nutrition programs, and safety and instruction
programs of all kinds.
§ Subsidy (no or very low cost recovery) programs – will not
attempt to recover costs as a fee, although it may ask for donations
or grants from using individuals, groups, or organizations who
benefit or are likely sponsors.
Generally, subsidy programs benefit the population at large
sufficiently to justify the use of public funding and/or include
activities that are not practical to effectively recover a fee or
charge, such as special events or festivals, special need programs
and playgrounds, interpretive exhibits, parks, and trail related
activities.
Park service gaps
An effective park system should provide a park, trail, playground,
community center, or other recreation facility within a 5-minute
walk of any residential area measured by actual walking routes on
trails, paths, sidewalks, or other routes.
Natural features such as steep hillsides, water bodies, and other
obstacles as well as manmade obstacles like limited access
highways or major traffic corridors or the lack of safe paths, trails,
sidewalk improvements affect a 5-minute walk measurement.
Walkability maps are generated by Geographic Information Systems
(GIS) that calculate 5-minute walk distances using roads, sidewalks,
paths, and trails that account for natural and manmade obstacles
from existing park, recreation, school, and other community
facilities.
Service gaps are areas that are beyond the 5-minute walk distances
of residential developments indicating residents of these areas have
to walk further time-distances or commute by bike or vehicle or are

blocked by natural or manmade obstacles from or in order to
engage in a recreational activity.
A walkability map generated around existing city, Kitsap County,
Port of Bremerton, South Kitsap School District, and Homeowner
Association (HOA) facilities indicates there are significant
developed areas of the city and UGA that lack effective park and
recreational services:
§ Port Orchard Centers – including portions of the designated
centers in the Comprehensive Plan.
§ Undeveloped lands – in the northwest at Ross Point,
§ McCormick Woods – in the northeast areas where residential
developments are providing open space but not picnicking,
playgrounds, sports courts, or other park amenities.
The plan proposes trail, parks, and recreation facilities to fill these
service gaps.
Social equity
An effective park system should also ensure that park and
recreational services and facilities, including those that provide
health, nutrition, childcare, education, employment, and
socialization as well as recreational activities are provided residents
in areas of the city that are less advantaged than the general
population due to:
§ Poverty – particularly for families with children under age 18
§ Single parent households – headed by a male or female with
children with no other spouse present
§ Non-English speaking – defined by immigrant households
were members do not speak English very well or not at all
§ Housing cost stressed – of households paying more than 35%
of gross income for rent or mortgage payments
GIS maps generated for the city using the US Census Bureau’s 2019
American Community Survey (ACS) Block Groups indicate:
§ Households with high housing costs – are more than 40% of
all households located in the northeast neighborhoods of the city,
along south Sidney Avenue, and northeast of Lund Avenue
§ Households headed by single parents – are more than 40% of
all households located east of South Kitsap Regional Park, along
Blackjack Creek, Ross Point, east of SR-16, and the north portions of
McCormick Woods
§ Households with incomes below poverty lines – are more
than 20% of all households located along south Sidney and Lund
Avenues
§ Households of non-English speaking – are more than 2% of all
households located east of Bill Bloomquist Rotary Park
The plan proposes to increase trail, parks, and recreation amenities
in these areas to provide for social equity.

Chapter 4: Public opinion
An on-line with mail-back option survey was conducted of all Port
Orchard households within the city zip codes using USPS’s Every
Door Direct Mail (EDDM) postcard notification. The zip code
boundaries are imperfect matches to city limits with some
extending beyond and some not completely covering corporate
boundaries. As shown below, 38% of the respondents indicated, or
believe, they live outside of Port Orchard city limits.
Survey questions sought to obtain information on park and
recreation behavior, use of programs and parks, and opinions and
priorities for potential future improvements. 188 persons
completed the survey.
Following is a summary of the findings – detailed results including
comments are available in the Appendix and from the Community
Development Department. In most instances, the results have been
statistically weighted and ranked as noted to provide meaningful
findings.

Implications
Generally, survey respondents indicated high to moderate
priorities to a wide variety of special events including the Farmers’
Market in particular. Some activities, however, did not rank very
high on the priorities possibly due to appeals to specific and
limited population interests.
If it were possible, what priority would you give to have some
organization in Port Orchard to provide the following types
of volunteer opportunities? Ranked in order of priority.

Chapter 5: Plan elements
The following proposals concerning elements of the parks,
recreation, and open space plan are based on the results of
environmental inventories, field analysis, demand analysis,
workshop planning sessions, and surveys of resident households.
The proposals outline the vision developed for parks, recreation,
and open spaces in Port Orchard for the next 20 years.
The proposals are CONCEPTUAL, in some instances, subject to
further study and coordination with public and private participants
that may modify the eventual project components.
The proposals refer to a site or property that may provide a major
type of park, recreation, or open space activity. Any particular site
or property may include one or all of the described plan features.
The proposals in each section describe the improvements that will
be accomplished under each major type of plan element.
Conservancies
Resource conservancies or open spaces protect, preserve, and
conserve lands that have environmental features of critical area
significance (floodplains and landslide hazard), ecological
importance (shorelines, wetlands and watersheds), forestland (old
growth, woodland cover, and prime productive), wildlife habitat
(threatened and endangered species), and open space.
To the extent possible and practical, resource conservancy lands
will link preserved open spaces (even though these lands may not
be publicly accessible) to greenways and open space networks.
These linked areas will visually define the developed urban area in
accordance with the objectives of the Washington State Growth
Management Act (GMA).
Resource conservancy lands may provide nature and interpretive
trails, exhibits, and interpretive facilities to increase public
awareness and appreciation for significant and visually interesting
environmental, wildlife, and forest features.
Resource conservancy activities may be located on independent
properties or include portions of other sites that provide resource
activities, trail corridors, or other public facilities. Conservancies
may also be developed on other publicly owned lands subject to
public use agreements or easements; or on lands acquired for other
public purposes including storm water management, groundwater
recharge, potable water storage, and wastewater treatment.
Vision
Conservancies may be realized through:
§ Acquisition of development rights and/or title of resource
lands or historical sites - that would otherwise be developed
or used for other urban land use;
§ Provision for public access and interpretive use - that would
not be possible if the lands remained in private ownership
without such provisions.
§ Provisions for signing and interpretation - subject to
appropriate security measures and underlying property owner
agreements,
Conservancies – open space
Existing resource or open space conservancy sites
The following sites provide open space conservancy protection
through easements, land use agreements, or acquisitions by Port
Orchard, Kitsap County, Washington State, and Homeowner
Associations (HOA). In most instances, the open spaces conserve
wetlands, woodlands, steep slopes, and other features along
Blackjack and other Creek riparian corridors and around residential
developments in McCormick Woods and other subdivisions.

Possible resource conservancy sites
The following sites may provide conservancy protection through
easements, land use agreements, or acquisitions. Some properties
are undevelopable and thus protected by the city’s Critical Areas
Ordinance (CAO). While protected, not all of these properties may
be suitable or available for public access or use. The objective is to
conserve more riparian habitat and protect steep wooded slopes
along Blackjack and other unnamed creeks and the hillside defining
Ross Point.

Conservancies - historical/cultural
Historical conservancies protect and preserve significant
archaeological, historical, and cultural sites and facilities providing
interpretive access to significant sites including Native American
sites, original homesteads or prominent building sites, commercial
or public buildings of unique architectural characteristics, locations
of important industrial or resource-oriented activities, and other
culturally important areas. Lands may also be protected or acquired
that conserve significant man-made constructions on the land
including bridges, dikes, dams, and other features.

42 Port Orchard PROS Plan
To the extent possible and practical, historical sites and buildings
will be linked with other parklands to create activity centers or
facilities that reflect the original cultural use.
To the extent possible and practical, historical buildings and
structures may be conserved on their original sites. In some
instances, however, the buildings or other improvements may be
relocated to other public properties to better conserve, display, or
provide interpretive access.
To the extent practical and protecting of archaeological
significance, historical or archaeological sites may be marked or
signed as part of the conservancy park element. Interpretive signs
may be located off-site or in areas that do not risk exposure or
possible vandalism of underlying archaeological resources
(including private lands).
Existing places of significance
Port Orchard has a large but undesignated number of historic
buildings located within the downtown district and on top of Sidney
hill some dating from the 1880-1900s, 1900-1920s, and even the
1930-1950s. Following is a brief summary of some known examples
though an historic inventory should be completed along with the
designation of a walking tour as a means of introducing Port
Orchard’s historical heritage as a recreational activity.
Existing places of significance
Port Orchard 1
1 Masonic Hall (Sidney Museum) 1
§ The 3,642 square foot Sidney Museum (Masonic Hall) is located
at 202 Sidney Avenue in the downtown.
§ Built in 1908, the 2-story wood building was the first Masonic
Temple building in Port Orchard and is listed in the National
Register of Historic Places.
2 Log Cabin 1
§ The cabin is located on its original site, one of the original two
Sidney town plots that measure 60 feet in width fronting on
Sidney by 150 feet deep extending to the west.
§ The 2-story, one bedroom cabin was constructed from "log
boom" logs pulled up Sidney hill from Port Orchard Bay by oxen
and draft horses.
3 Hotel Sidney (Navy View Apartments) 1
§ The original Hotel Sidney was built in 1893. In 1910, a mudslide
took out much of the foundation. Later that year the owner
moved the 3-story wood building 2 blocks down Sidney Hill to
the corner of Frederick and Prospect Streets. The building was
listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 but
accidently destroyed by fire in 1985. A replica was built on the
original foundation.
4 McNair General Store/Modern Plumbing & Supply ( 1
§ Canadian Alexander McNair built the 2-story wood store and
annex on pilings at 632 Bay Street in 1891. McNair served a term
on the Port Orchard Council in 1901.
5 Howe Brothers Hardware & Garage (Josephine’s
Mercantile)
1
§ Ford Motor Company granted the Howe Brothers Hardware the
first car dealership franchise in Kitsap County in 1913. The
Howe Brothers took over the meat market next door and
expanded the dealership to include the entire 2-story wood
building at 701 Bay Street.
6 Howe Motor Company (Mainline Music) 1
§ The Howe Motor Company moved their Ford dealership across
the street in built this 2-story concrete block building in 1928
that occupies nearly a half block at 702 Bay Street. The
dealership was located on the west end and the hardware store
on the east end of the building’s first floor.
7 Blanchard Department Store (Wisteria Lane
Antiques)
1
§ The Blanchard Department Store was located on the southeast
corner of Bay and Sidney Streets at 804 Bay Street. The 2-story
wood building dates from before the 1940s.
8 Rexall Drugs (Olympic Bike & Skate) 1
§ Rexall Drugs was located on the southwest corner of Bay and
Sidney Streets at 744 Bay Street. The 1-story brick building
dates from before the 1940s.
Page 132 of 398
Port Orchard PROS Plan 43
9 Knights of Pythias Lodge (D&R
Theatre/Dragonfly Cinema)
1
§ The Knights of Pythias built this 2-story lodge building in 1925
at 822 Bay Street. D&R Theatre converted the building into one
of the first movie houses in 1928 and operated it until 1965
when maintenance and competition from larger theaters forced
it to close. The theater was reopened in 1980 as the Plaza Twin
Theater in 1980 and is currently operated as Dragonfly Cinema.

44 Port Orchard PROS Plan
Resource parks
Resource parkland will be conserved in Port Orchard that provides
public access to significant environmental features including
shorelines, woodlands, and scenic areas. Where appropriate,
resource park sites will be improved with a variety of outdoor
facilities including group and individual campsites and picnic
facilities. Water-oriented resource park improvements will provide
swimming and wading sites, fishing piers, docks, and boat
launches. Supporting services will include parking lots, restrooms,
and utilities.
Resource park activities may be located on independent properties
or include portions of other sites provided for environmental
conservancies, trail corridors, recreation, or other public facilities.
Resource park activities may also be developed on other publicly
owned lands subject to public use agreements or easements.
Vision
As described herein, the resource park vision will be realized
through:
§ Acquisition of resource parklands - that would otherwise be
developed for other land uses;
§ Provision of public access - and use of natural features which
would not be possible if the lands remained in private
ownership;
§ Conservation for public access - and use of unique and
available natural features that visually define and separate
developing urban areas.

Trails
Trail systems will be developed to link major environmental assets,
park and recreational facilities, schools, community centers, and
historical features thorough out Port Orchard. Generally, trails will
provide for several modes of recreational and commuters use
including bicycles and pedestrians where appropriate.
Multipurpose trails
Multipurpose on and off-road trails will be developed within
corridors separate from vehicular or other motorized forms of
transportation such as utility easements or in separate property
alignments. In some instances, an on-road trail may be developed
as improvements within the right-of-way of established vehicular or
other transportation corridors.
Multipurpose trails will be developed to Washington State
Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and American Association
of State Highway & Transportation Officials (AASHTO) trail
standards. The trails will be concrete, asphalt or very fine crushed
rock base, handicap accessible, and usable by all age and skill
groups.
Trail corridors will be improved with trailhead services including
rest stops, parking lots, restrooms, water, and air utilities. Where
the trail is located in association with another park and recreational
improvement or public facility, the trailhead will be improved with
active picnic, playgrounds, and play areas.
Multipurpose trail corridors will be independent properties or
include portions of other sites provided for resource conservancies,
resource activities, athletic facilities, and other park and
recreational or public facility properties.
Vision
As described, the multipurpose trails vision may be realized by
providing recreational trail opportunities that:
§ Access natural features - that may not be available otherwise,
§ Link open spaces - and other conservation areas into a
greenway system,
§ Serve persons - with varied physical abilities and skills,
§ Establish high visibility and volume pedestrian routes -
through the most developed urban areas and park sites,
§ Expand roadway corridors - to provide recreational and
commuter trail opportunities,

approaches to formally designate and improve launch sites and
trailheads and/or to develop new launch sites, rest stops, and other
water trail services.
Vision
As described, the water trail vision will:
§ Increase and promote public access - to the area's significant
freshwater and saltwater resources particularly for hand-carry
boating enthusiasts,
§ To scenic natural areas and features - of interest that cannot
be accessed from other trail systems,

Athletic parks
Local or neighborhood parks – will be developed with
playgrounds, basketball, volleyball, grass play fields, and other
facilities that provide pickup games, youth sports, and leagues of
interest to neighborhood children and families. These local park
improvements will be combined with picnic shelters and tables,
trail systems, natural areas, local schools, and other facilities to
create an accessible neighborhood park system in Port Orchard.
Local or neighborhood parks will be sited as independent properties
or portions of other sites that include trail corridors, resource
parks, multi-use indoor centers or other public facilities. Where
practical, local or neighborhood playgrounds will be co-located with
elementary schools. Where feasible and appropriate, neighborhood
parks will be sited on lands that are owned and operated for other
public purposes.
Local or neighborhood parks will be located at sites serviced by
trails and local bicycling routes that are within a 5-10-minute walk
convenient to younger age neighborhood youth and families.
Local or neighborhood parks will be developed to provide flexible
play capabilities - typically providing 1 to 2 dirt or grass
rectangular fields with portable goal and backstop stanchions to
allow for varied age groups and activities.
Community or regional parks – will be developed with competitive
athletic court and field facilities to provide the highest quality
competitive playing standards and requirements. The competitive
regional athletic park complexes will include field activities that
satisfy the largest number of organized and older age recreational
league participants including skateboard, soccer, football, rugby,
lacrosse, softball, and baseball facilities.
Regional athletic parks will be developed for older youth and adult
league tournaments and other peak competition days, events, and
schedules thereby freeing fields located at elementary schools,
neighborhood parks, and other local sites for younger age clinics,
practices, neighborhood pickup play, and some youth league
participant games.
Regional recreational parks will be located on sites that can
accommodate relatively high traffic volumes, evening lighted field
use, noise, and other activities without adversely impacting
adjoining land uses.
Regional competitive recreational areas will be developed to
provide sustained, high-capacity play capabilities typically
providing 3 to 5 full-size competition fields at a location. Most sites
will be designed to provide high capacity, rectangular field
configurations that include turf or all-weather fields with
permanent soccer goals and baseball diamond backstops at the
field ends with moveable perimeter fencing, spectator seating, and
night-lighting systems.
When practical and feasible, regional athletic parks will include
middle or high school facilities, particularly where the facilities are
located with other competition fields or when the facilities can be
used for recreational league tournaments or special events.
Local and regional athletic parks - will be improved with
restrooms, concessions, and parking lots including grass overflow
parking areas to accommodate peak events or schedules. Depending
on the location, some sites will include tennis, basketball, volleyball
courts, and other recreational facilities. Where appropriate, some
regionally competitive recreational sites will also be furnished with
group picnic shelters and possibly even recreational vehicle
overnight campsite services to support tournament events.
Vision
Local or neighborhood athletic parks with playgrounds, courts,
and fields will:
§ Provide flexible informal activity areas,
§ Suited to younger age and local neighborhood game activities,
§ In sites convenient to neighborhood youth and families,
§ At sites that may co-locate with elementary schools and
facilities.
Page 152 of 398
Port Orchard PROS Plan 63
Regional athletic parks will:
§ Provide the highest quality competitive play athletic facilities,
§ Of the highest capacity facility improvement designs,
§ Within convenient proximity to organized adult and older age
recreational league playing populations,
§ At sites that do not disrupt adjacent land uses,
§ At sites that may co-locate with schools and/or utilize other
major public facilities,
§ To alleviate overcrowding on smaller, more local park and
elementary school fields so local sites can be used for younger
age league participant games, practice sessions, and
neighborhood pickup games.
Playgrounds
Existing playgrounds/play areas
The following covered and uncovered playground facilities and play
areas have been developed in the city to support local
neighborhood recreational activities. Some of the listed school

Fields – soccer
Existing soccer fields
Rectangular grass fields support regulation (330x360 feet), youth
age 12-13 (300x330 feet), youth age 10-11 (180x240 feet), youth age
8-9 (90x150 feet) and youth age 6-7 (75x120 feet) soccer activities.
The larger field areas can be subdivided to support younger age
players practice and games. For example, a regulation field of
330x360 feet can be subdivided to support 12 age 6-7 fields of
75x120 feet. Consequently, while the fields are counted by
regulation size the actual playing capacity of the fields can increase
exponentially depending on the age of the soccer players and
thereby their playing field requirements.
The following rectangular soccer or multipurpose grass fields have
been developed to support local school and after school pickup
games, youth clinics, and youth leagues. Some fields have soccer
goals though most use temporary moveable goal fixtures. Some
fields have grass baseball backstops or baseball diamonds installed
at the end corners of the grass rectangular fields. Some of the listed
school facilities may not be available for public use during school
hours or suitable for competitive or league game play.

Community centers
Community centers provide indoor activities on a year-round basis
centrally accessible to residents for day and evening use. The
facilities may be developed within a market-oriented service
concept that protects the specialized investments that have already
been made in these facilities by school districts and private
organizations.
Community centers may not be developed where the using
population will not be of sufficient size to realistically support an
independent facility. In these circumstances, an existing center may
be expanded within the next closest or supportable service area to
provide facility requirements and programs.
Indoor community or recreation facilities may provide space for
swimming pools (including outdoor facilities), gymnasiums,
physical conditioning, arts and crafts, class and instruction rooms,
meeting facilities, kitchens and dining, daycare and latch key, teen
and senior center, and special population resource activities.
Community centers may also incorporate historic museums,
interpretive nature exhibits, and other buildings or constructions.
Independent community center buildings and sites may be
developed to provide space and services for teen, adult, or senior
center activities that occur during or conflict with school activities
and sites. Generally, these facilities may provide space and services
that are not suitably provided at school sites or that may not be
duplicated by school facilities and programs.
When community and recreation centers are developed independent
of school facilities, the buildings may be independent properties or
portions of other sites that include trail corridors, resource
activities, athletic or other public facilities such as civic centers and
libraries.
Vision
As described, the community and recreation center vision will:
§ Provide a variety of indoor activities,
§ Within a convenient and serviceable proximity to using
populations,
§ Within a facility and services concept that recognizes and
supports the investments that have already made in existing
city, county, and school facilities and programs, and
§ In cooperative ventures with other interested and participating
public and private agencies.

interior size from 6,000 square feet or less in elementary schools to
8,400 to 14,100 square feet in middle and high schools depending
on locker and shower accommodations.
Middle school and older ages play on hardwood floors while
elementary school students may play on a variety of surfaces in
multipurpose assembly rooms or in middle or high school
gymnasiums in subdivided courts with lowered backboards.
Full size basketball courts can be subdivided to provide backboards
along the sidelines to support 4 half courts for practice or for
younger age group including elementary school games. The courts
can also be subdivided to support 1-2 volleyball (30x60 feet) or 4
badminton courts (20x44 feet).
The following gymnasiums have been developed within the city and

Special use facilities
Special use facilities may be acquired or developed to provide
activities or events for the general population on a limited or
special occasion and/or for special interest populations at
appropriate sites throughout Port Orchard. Special use facilities
may include plazas and streetscapes, arts centers, historical
museums, and similar special interest services.

Community gardens
A community garden is a single piece of land gardened collectively
by a group of people. Community gardens utilize individual or
shared plots to produce vegetables, fruits, flowers, or other plants
for the enjoyment of the gardeners including the option of selling
the products at farmers’ and other markets. Community gardens
increase the availability of nutritious foods, strengthen community
ties, reduce environmental hazards, reduce food miles, and create a
more sustainable system.
Community gardens are part of the sharing economy making it
possible for many people to enjoy a resource – in this case, land for
gardening – that they couldn’t afford on their own.
Community gardens provide individual rentable garden plots
typically 10x20-40 feet with compost bins, a shed for storing tools,
irrigation hookups, a common gathering area sometimes covered
with benches or picnic tables, and a perimeter fence to control
wildlife.
Existing community gardens
Greenhouses were developed adjacent to Cedar Heights Middle
School to provide students the opportunity to learn to plant and
grow their own vegetables, fruits, flowers, and other plants.

Golf courses
Golf is a club-and-ball sport in which players use various clubs to
hit balls into a series of holes on a course in as few strokes as
possible. Golf, unlike most ball games, cannot and does not utilize a
standardized playing area, and coping with the varied terrains
encountered on different courses is a key part of the game. The
game at the usual level is played on a course with an arranged
progression of 18 holes, though recreational courses can be
smaller, often having 9 holes.
Each hole on the course must contain a teeing ground to start from,
and a putting green containing the actual hole or cup 4 inches in
diameter. There are other standard forms of terrain in between,
such as the fairway, rough, bunkers, and various hazards but each
hole on a course is unique in its specific layout and arrangement.
Golf courses may be improved with a variety of facilities including
practice putting greens, driving ranges, pitch-n-put short golf
courses, equipment stores, lockers and showers, restaurants,
banquet rooms, and member lodges.
Existing golf courses
The following golf facilities have been developed in and around
Port Orchard to meet the demand for golf activity.

Chapter 7: Implementation
Following is a summary description of the major tasks determined
to be necessary to effectively implement the Port Orchard Park,
Recreation, & Open Space (PROS) Plan. The tasks represent the
general priorities established by neighborhood workshops, public
open house participants, and the survey of adult and youth
residents, parks and recreation users, and registered voters.
As shown, a number of parties may be responsible for the
leadership and management, participation, and supporting aspects
of each action – as described in the following summaries. The tasks
are grouped according to subject matter and not priority.
Adopt plan
Task 1: Adopt Port Orchard PROS Plan as GMA element
Port Orchard City Council will by ordinance adopt the Port Orchard
PROS Plan as a stand-alone planning document for compliance with
the Washington State Recreation & Conservation Office (RCO) and as
a complementary document of Port Orchard’s Comprehensive Plan
in accordance with Growth Management Act (GMA) provisions.
Participants – Port Orchard City Council with the assistance of
the Port Orchard Planning Commission, Community Development
Department, and other stakeholders.
Action
Make Port Orchard PROS Plan available on Port Orchard
website – and distribute copies to appropriate public agencies and
interested public and private parties in accordance with GMA
adoption provisions.
Port Orchard Planning Commission reviews Port Orchard
PROS Plan – as necessary as part of Port Orchard annual
comprehensive plan update, and provides for public hearing in
conformance with GMA.
Port Orchard adopts Port Orchard PROS Plan – as a
component of the Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan.
Port Orchard adopts the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
integrating the PROS Plan – as an element of the Port Orchard
comprehensive plan, thereby implementing the CIP in accordance
with GMA provisions.
Adopt program finance strategies
Task 2: Expand clearinghouse function
Port Orchard will continue development and operation of its
website which provides recreation program offerings that include a
wide variety of activities accommodating the interests of city
residents regardless of age, skill level, income – or program
provider.
The Port Orchard website will provide information related to
recreation program activities providing health, education, social,
recreational, and other welfare activities for youth, teens, adults,
seniors, and special populations. The website will also provide
other park provider information pertinent to the community as
resources allow.
Port Orchard staff or contractors will conduct park and recreational
programs. However, depending on demand, cost, and feasibility,
and when practical and consistent with Port Orchard’s mission
statements, Port Orchard may also coordinate with programs
conducted by other public, nonprofit, or for-profit organizations
and vendors.
Port Orchard program offerings will include activities that will be
conducted in Port Orchard parks, facilities, and trails. However,
depending on demand, Port Orchard may also conduct programs in
schools and other public facilities across the city, as well as in
nonprofit and other facilities.
Participants – Port Orchard Community Development
Department, South Kitsap School District, YMCA, Port Orchard
Page 219 of 398
130 Port Orchard PROS Plan
Athletic Leagues and Clubs, and other nonprofit and private
organizations.
Action
Continue to operate a Port Orchard clearinghouse website - for
recreational activities.
Task 3: Monitor user fee schedules
Port Orchard staff will assess criteria for all prospective program
offerings. If the program is consistent with Port Orchard’s mission
and level-of-service proposals shown in this plan, and if resources
exist, Port Orchard will offer the program under its recreational cost
benefit policy that establishes a benefit scale under one of the
following cost recovery scenarios:
Full cost recovery programs - will recover all direct costs
(including full and part-time staff, supplies, materials, maintenance,
and utilities) and indirect costs (including department overhead for
staff benefits).
Merit pricing (partial cost recovery) programs – will partially
recover direct and indirect costs based on a policy decision about
the degree to which each program provides public versus private
goods or benefits. Merit pricing programs may also include the
providing of scholarships to eligible user individuals or user groups
that would prevent the program from realizing full cost recovery.
Subsidy (no or very low cost recovery) programs – will not
attempt to recover costs as a fee, although it may ask for donations
or grants from using individuals, groups, or organizations who
benefit or are likely sponsors.
Participants – Port Orchard Community Development
Department, South Kitsap School District, and non-profit and for-
profit organizations.
Action
Monitor user fee schedules to maintain a benefits scale for
recreation activities – collect user fees under a full, merit, or
subsidy based cost recovery policy for recreation programs.
Task 4: Recruit program vendors
Port Orchard Community Development Department will assess the
mission criteria for all prospective program offerings. If programs
are not consistent with Port Orchard’s mission and level-of-service
proposals shown in this plan, Port Orchard will not offer the
program, but may consider a partnership with other providers. This
could include offering scholarships or other services or publishing
the program offering. Depending on the program activity, other
vendors may include:
Other jurisdictions – including Kitsap County, South Kitsap
School District, and Washington State.
Nonprofit organizations – such as the YMCA, Boys & Girls
Clubs, Boy and Girl Scouts, Campfire USA, Lions, Rotary, and
Kiwanis Clubs, among others.
Private for-profit entities and vendors – such as Peninsula
Indoor BMX, among others.
Participants – Port Orchard Community Development
Department, South Kitsap School District, Kitsap County, and non-
profit and for-profit organizations.
Action
Work in conjunction with other sponsors and vendors - to
provide recreation activities as appropriate.
Task 5: Resolve an inter-local agreement with school
districts
Port Orchard Community Development will initiate discussions with
the South Kitsap School District for joint use and possibly
development of shared facilities.
The inter-local agreement may resolve a coordinated method of
scheduling courts, fields, gymnasiums, pools, classrooms, meeting
rooms, and other facilities in order to make maximum effective use
of the combined inventory in a method that is useful and equitable
to all parties.
Page 220 of 398
Port Orchard PROS Plan 131
Depending on shared access, the inter-local agreement may include
possible sharing of funds for improvement and maintenance of the
jointly used and to be developed facilities.
As part of the discussion, an analysis of existing city, school, and
league practice and game requirements will be conducted in order
to determine a fair and efficient method of allocating the available
capacity of the courts, fields, gymnasiums, pools, classrooms,
meeting rooms, and other to be shared facilities.
Participants – Port Orchard Community Development
Department and South Kitsap School District.
Action
Implement an inter-local-agreement – for sharing combined
court, field, gymnasiums, pools, classrooms, meeting rooms, and
other facilities possibly including joint development, maintenance,
and operating funds.
Adopt project finance strategies
Task 6: Allocate capital facility funds as specified in the
Capital Improvements Program (CIP)
Port Orchard City Council will allocate an appropriate amount of the
monies received from dedicated park, recreation, open space, and
trails-oriented revenue programs to provide funds for PROS Plan
acquisition and development projects that reflect the objectives of
these programs.
The revenue programs to be coordinated may include Port Orchard
property and sales tax fund proceeds, Port Orchard Real Estate
Excise Taxes (REET), and grant applications to the Washington State
Recreation & Conservation Office (RCO), among others.
Action
Allocate a proportional amount from existing park,
recreation, open space, and trail-oriented revenue programs to
fund the acquisition and development of PROS Plan projects –
designating monies from Port Orchard property tax levy, sales tax
proceeds, Port Orchard Real Estate Excise Taxes (REET), and RCO
grants.
Task 7: Develop GMA park impact fees
Port Orchard City Council will adopt a coordinated GMA park impact
fee system on a citywide basis for citywide facility acquisition and
development.
The Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) allows Port
Orchard to impose a park impact fee on proposed residential,
commercial, and industrial developments in the city as a means of
maintaining existing park, recreation, and open space levels-of-
service (ELOS).
The adopted ordinance for impact fees estimates the impact each
development project has on parks, recreation, and open space
facilities within a project benefit zone and makes provisions for
setting aside the resources, including lands or monies, necessary to
offset a project’s citywide impacts.
The dollar value of a project's park, recreation, and open space
impact may be offset by the project developer of an amount equal
to the combined facility acquisition and development costs that
Port Orchard and/or another providing agency would incur to
maintain the same existing level-of-service (ELOS).
A developer may be allowed to choose any combination of land or
cash mitigation measures including credit for any park or recreation
facilities to be included within a project development. The park
impact fee ordinance considers the following when determining the
types of mitigation measures or development credits to be made
available to the developer:
Will the facility - be available to the public,
Will it have a designated owner - responsible for continuing
operation and maintenance (the owner may be a common property
owner's association or other agency), and,
Will it correspond to and not exceed or vary from - the types
of park, recreation, and open space facilities that are being
impacted (a developer could provide but should not be able to take
Page 221 of 398
132 Port Orchard PROS Plan
full credit value for facilities for which there is no shortage, impact
or local interest).
Land contributions can be accepted in lieu of monies if the lands
will be suitable sites for future facilities. Under GMA provisions,
land and monies accumulated under the proposed ordinance must
be invested within a reasonable time or returned to the contributing
developer.
Port Orchard can conduct periodic program reviews with residents,
user groups, the school district, and other agencies to decide the
most efficient way to deliver the facilities mitigated by the
ordinance. Alternative delivery methods could include:
Acquisition of suitable sites – upon agreement with Port
Orchard or in conjunction with other public or school facilities
(including title transfer if other public or school agencies enter into
special agreements assuming development, operation, and
maintenance responsibilities).
Development of facilities - on other public or school sites (if
other public or school agencies enter into agreements assuming
future operation and maintenance responsibilities and costs). Or
Any other alternative - including development, operation or
maintenance proposals by user groups or private concessionaires or
non-profit organizations or, developers that provide a viable facility
in accordance with park, recreation, and open space strategies.
Participants – Port Orchard City Council and Planning
Commission with the assistance of Port Orchard Community
Development Department, South Kitsap School District, and non-
profit and for-profit organizations.
Action
Continue with the GMA park impact fee on a citywide basis –
collecting a proportional fee based on the value of community
facilities regardless of facility ownership, and allocating the fees for
citywide acquisition and development in accordance with this plan
regardless of agency sponsor.
Task 8: Seek a citywide capital facility and O&M park levy
Port Orchard City Council may place a limited duration property tax
levy proposal for voter approval on a citywide basis for the
acquisition, development, and operation of parks, recreation, and
open space facilities throughout the city.
The funds collected from the levy will be allocated to the
appropriate sponsoring agency, which may include the city, school
districts, or non-profit organization, for the realization of park,
recreation, and open space facilities identified within this plan.
Under Washington State enabling acts, Port Orchard may levy a
property tax for general governmental purposes at a rate not to
exceed $3.60 per $1,000 of the assessed value of all taxable
property within the city. The total of all property taxes for all taxing
authorities cannot exceed 1.0% of assessed valuation, or $10.00 per
$1,000 of value. If the taxes of all districts exceed the 1.0% or
$10.00 amount, each is proportionately reduced until the total is at
or below the 1.0% limit.
In 2001, Washington State law was amended by Proposition 747, a
statutory provision limiting the growth of the regular property tax
levy to 1.0% per year, after adjustments for new construction. Any
proposed increases over this amount are subject to a referendum
vote.
The statute was intended to control local governmental spending by
controlling the annual rate of growth of property taxes. In practice,
however, the statute can reduce the effective property tax yield to
an annual level far below a city's levy authorization, particularly
when property values are increasing rapidly.
Proposition 747, the statutory provision limiting the growth of
regular property taxes to 1.0% per year, can be waived by
referendum approval of a simple (50%) majority of Port Orchard’s
registered voters.
Port Orchard voters may be asked to approve a resetting of the
property tax levy rate that will adjust the amount of revenue the
city can generate. (The new total revenue that will be generated by a
Page 222 of 398
Port Orchard PROS Plan 133
resetting of the rate will be subject to the same 1.0% limitation,
however, and the total amount of revenue and the resulting
property tax rate will start to decline again in accordance with the
Proposition.)
The adjusted rate and revenue will be used to finance the PROS
facility proposals in this plan – or the projects and programs from
this plan that involve construction, maintenance, and operations
aspects that a majority of the voters are willing to pay for under the
adjusted rate.
Port Orchard voters may be asked to reset the rate on a permanent
basis with the new differential rate dedicated to citywide PROS
proposals, subject to the provisions of Proposition 747. Or Port
Orchard voters may be asked to reset the rate on a temporary basis,
where the rate is adjusted until a specific amount of revenue has
been generated to finance a specified number of PROS projects or
programs – whereupon the rate reverts to the original or a specified
amount defined in the referendum.
Participants – Port Orchard City Council with the assistance of
the Port Orchard Community Development Department, and other
potential providers.
Action
Submit and approve a limited duration property tax levy or a
property tax levy rate adjustment (on permanent or temporary
basis) to acquire, develop, operate, and maintain facilities –
allocating the additional revenues for acquisition, development,
and operation in accordance with this plan regardless of agency
sponsor.
Initiate PROS projects
Task 9: Protect open space and conservancies

Port Orchard PROS Plan 1
Appendix A: Setting
Port Orchard is located at Latitude: 47.53 North, Longitude: 122.64
West at an elevation of 140 feet with a corporate city limits land
area of 4.02 square miles. The Port Orchard Urban Growth Area
(UGA) extends east of the city to include unincorporated Kitsap
County largely developed residential areas.
Climate
Washington State's
climate is strongly
influenced by
moisture-laden air
masses created in the
Pacific Ocean. The air
masses may move into
the region any time of
the year, but
particularly during fall,
winter and spring
seasons.
The air flowing from
the Pacific Ocean is
interrupted first by the
Olympic Mountains
and then significantly
by the Cascade
Mountains. As a result
of the mountain
ranges, the west or
windward sides of the Cascades receive moderate to heavy rainfall
and the east or leeward side of the state located in the "rain
shadow" of the Cascades receive a light to moderate amount of
precipitation.
The Cascades also
affect temperature
ranges in the state.
The west or windward
side is influenced by
maritime air masses
generally milder than
those that sweep
down from the
Canadian Rocky
Mountains on the east
or leeward side of the
state. Consequently,
eastern Washington
usually has colder
winters and hotter
summers, while
western Washington is
milder and more frost-
free.
In Port Orchard, mean
temperatures vary from a high of 75 degrees in August to a low of
33 degrees Fahrenheit in January. Average annual precipitation is
about 38 inches with a mean growing season with temperatures
above 32 degrees Fahrenheit for about 300 days. Approximately
80% of the precipitation occurs from October through March with
less than 6% falling during June, July, and August.
On average, Port Orchard may receive up to 6 inches of snow in
January with sunshine for about 20% of the time and between 50-
70% sunshine during July and August. Wind speeds average between
7-9 miles per hour in January and 6-8 miles per hour in September.
Page 227 of 398
2 Port Orchard PROS Plan
Earth
Washington is divided into three principal physiographic divisions -
the Pacific Mountain System, the Rocky Mountain System, and the
Intermontane Plateaus.
Pacific Mountain System - is defined by the Olympic Peninsula (the
Pacific Border province) and the Cascade Mountain range and
includes all counties that contain portions of the Cascade
Mountains (the Cascade Mountain province).
Northern Rocky Mountain System - is defined by the foothills of
the Rocky Mountain ranges and includes all counties that are
located north of the Columbia River and east of the Cascade
Mountain system.
Intermountane Plateau - is defined by the high plateaus created by
the uplift between the Cascade and Rocky Mountain ranges and
includes all counties that are located along the southern drainage
basins of the Columbia River.
Port Orchard is located within the eastern edge of the Puget Trough
section of the Cascade Mountain province of the Pacific Mountain
System. The Cascade Mountains were created by continuous
volcanic activity along the border of the underlying continental
plates.
The mountains were in turn, subject to the action of periodic glacial
intrusions - the most recent being the Pleistocene glacial period
more than 15,000 years ago. The Pleistocene glacial intrusion
gradually carved and flooded Puget Sound, the lowland areas, and
other valleys alongside the Cascade foothills.
Port Orchard is located within Puget Sound with topography ranging
from 0 to about 140 feet above sea level. The hilltops overlooking
Sinclair Inlet drop off abruptly at Ross Point, and along Blackjack
Creek and other drainage corridors, with slopes ranging from 25 to
50%. As a result, the steeper slopes are subject to landslide hazard.
Soil regions
Washington State soils were created by a combination of elements
including the nature of the parent material or rock type, climate,
and the characteristics of the local terrain.
These combined processes created 11 principal soil regions in the
state ranging from deposits with high concentrations of organic
matter created by glacial and marine actions along Puget Sound to
deposits with very low organic matter located in the eastern arid
portions of the state.
Water
Sinclair Inlet – was named by US Navy explorer Charles Wilkes for
George T. Sinclair, acting master on one of his ship’s crews. Sinclair
Inlet is an arm of Puget Sound in Kitsap County and the
southwestern extension of Port Orchard that touches the shores of
Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, and Port Orchard. The Port
Washington Narrows connects Sinclair Inlet to Dyes Inlet and
Bremerton and Rich Passage connects Sinclair Inlet to Puget Sound.
The Sinclair Inlet shoreline is highly urbanized and physically
altered, with approximately 89% of the shoreline being armored.
There are also state highways, city streets, and county roads along
the entire length of the shoreline, with bridges or culverts
constraining the streams that run to the Inlet. Much of the roadbed
areas, and most development water ward of the roads were built on
fill and are protected by various types of shoreline armoring. Native
vegetation has been removed from much of the Sinclair Inlet
shoreline as well.
Sinclair Inlet is a shallow, poorly flushing estuary, and the slow
period of discharge and replenishment is a factor influencing its
water and habitat quality in the inlet. Fecal coliform contamination,
mostly from non-point source pollution, in addition to significant
chemical contamination that includes high levels of mercury and
PCBs have been documented in Sinclair Inlet.
Currently, existing impervious surfaces along portions of Bay Street
are not treated for stormwater runoff and flow directly into Sinclair
Page 228 of 398
Port Orchard PROS Plan 3
Inlet. However, improvements are being made with adoption of Low
Impact Development Standards (LIDS) and within the City’s
Stormwater utility and updated NPDES permit programs.
Shorelines within Port Orchard include those portions of Sinclair
Inlet lying within the city limits and all lands extending landward
200 feet from the ordinary high water mark, together with any
associated wetlands, river deltas, and floodways associated with
tidal waters.
Numerous named and unnamed streams and creeks flow into
Sinclair Inlet in Port Orchard and the city’s UGA including
Anderson, Ross, and Blackjack Creeks.
Blackjack Creek is regulated as a “shoreline of the state” due to its
average flow level. The estuarine portion of Ross Creek and
portions of two lakes (Big Lake and Square Lake) also qualify as
shorelines of the state.
Blackjack Creek - is the largest stream system in Port Orchard and
extends into tributaries spanning an area of approximately 3 miles
within the city limits. Blackjack Creek is the only stream within the
city that falls within Shoreline Management Act (SMA) jurisdiction
based on flow rate, although a portion of both Ross Creek and
Blackjack Creek estuaries are under SMA jurisdiction based on tidal
influence.
Unlike the Sinclair Inlet shoreline, the majority of the Blackjack
Creek shoreline is relatively intact. The mouth of the Creek has
been highly altered with shoreline armoring, paving, and
channelization. However, just upstream, the Blackjack Creek
corridor becomes nearly a wilderness area, with natural vegetation,
wildlife corridors, and a healthy salmon stream.
The topography of the Blackjack Creek ravine has been a major
factor in protecting the vegetation and resources of the Creek. It is
extremely steep for the majority of the regulated area, and although
it had been logged in the past, it has remained relatively untouched
for several decades.
In recent years, the city has taken steps to protect the Blackjack
Creek corridor and encourage restoration, while continuing to allow
and improve public enjoyment through trails and overlooks.
Ross Creek - is also a salmon stream and is surveyed annually for
adult spawners. Further protections for both Blackjack and Ross
Creek are appropriate and will be implemented through
development regulations.
Due to the annexation of McCormick Woods, the City gained parts
of two lakes that are big enough to qualify as a shoreline of the
state, and must be included in the SMP. Square and Big Lakes are
Page 229 of 398
4 Port Orchard PROS Plan
Page 230 of 398
Port Orchard PROS Plan 5
both less than 30 acres, and both share shoreline jurisdiction with
Kitsap County. Neither of them are located entirely in the City.
Square Lake - approximately 10 acres of Square Lake are located
within Port Orchard. The other 20 acres are entirely within Kitsap
County jurisdiction, and are not within the UGA. There is just one
property owner in the City within Square Lake jurisdiction, and the
property is undeveloped.
The area around Square Lake had been historically logged, but
mature forests are present, and lack of human activity (there are
only 2 houses that touch the lake, the rest is State Park), allow for
high vegetation function.
Big Lake - also known as Big Pond, lies in a shallow depression west
of the McCormick Woods housing development. The lake is very
shallow, and is long and narrow, heading from the northeast to the
southwest, and lies within city limits for 4 of its 22 acres. The
remaining area lies within the South Kitsap UGA and unincorporated
Kitsap County.
There are 2 property owners within City shoreline jurisdiction, one
of which is the McCormick Woods Homeowners Association, which
maintains trails near the lake and its associated wetlands.
Big Lake is inaccessible by car or public transportation, and public
access is limited to bikes and walkers who are homeowners (or
guests of homeowners) in the McCormick Woods housing
development.
Floodplains and flooded areas - include alluvial soils - which are
former riverbeds and streambeds, and retention ponds that fill
during heavy rainfall, sometimes infrequently, often for extended
periods during rainy seasons. Floodwater depths are shallow but
can become extensive causing damage to commercial and
residential uses that are located within the floodplain including
recreational facilities.
The mouth of Ross Creek and the south end of Blackjack Creek are
subject to seasonal flooding and designated as such on FEMA maps.
Wildlife habitats
Habitat conservation areas are critical to the survival of diverse
plant and wildlife communities. Habitats encompass a variety of
areas including large parcels of contiguous undeveloped land,
special areas like streams or wetlands, and structural elements like
rocky shorelines or standing dead trees.
The ecological value of an area depends on the quantity, quality,
diversity, and seasonality of the food, water, and cover that it
provides wildlife species. A particular site's value also depends on
proximity to other usable habitats, the presence of rare species, and
the rarity of the habitat type.
The preservation and restoration of critical habitat areas are keys to
protecting biological diversity. Critical habitat can be lost or
degraded due to urban and some rural land use activities. Critical
habitat threats can be reduced with effective land use policies and
regulations. In some instances, valuable habitat can also be restored
or enhanced through preservation and conservation efforts.
For ease of discussion, wildlife habitats are generally classified as
marine, estuarine, freshwater, and terrestrial categories. Many
wildlife species rely upon most, even all, of these habitat categories
for survival. Port Orchard has 2 categories of wildlife habitat.
Marine habitat
Marine habitats are saltwater areas that extend outward from the
upper limit of wave spray on land. In Port Orchard, marine habitats
extend the complete length of Sinclair Inlet shoreline.
Marine habitats provide critical plant, fish, and wildlife habitat that
can be greatly affected by land and water-based activities. The
waters of Puget Sound depend on the health of tide flats and the
water column for primary habitat production.
Eelgrass, kelp, and phytoplankton provide the primary cornerstone
for the grazing food chain, and shelter for both invertebrate and
vertebrate animal species.
Page 231 of 398
6 Port Orchard PROS Plan
The deeper waters and narrow channel of Sinclair Inlet between
Bremerton and Port Orchard, as well as the shallower waters at
Gorst shoreline produce a unique marine environment rich in
nutrients hosting a remarkable diversity of fish and other animal
life.
The open channel and shallow shoreline provide wintering and
breeding habitat for a wide variety of marine birds including loons,
grebes, cormorants, gulls, ducks, geese, shorebirds and alcids.
Despite the altered state of the Sinclair Inlet shoreline, it is home to
bald eagle perches, blue herons, and other shoreline birds. In
addition, Sinclair Inlet has been designated as a nearshore refugia
that includes portions of the shoreline. The refugia provides
migration, foraging and rearing habitat for multiple salmonid
species and other marine wildlife. The nearshore conditions also
provide suitable spawning habitat for surf smelt and Pacific sand
lance.
Fish and wildlife species - special status/priority fish and wildlife
species (or particular relationships between species and habitat)
that rely on the marine habitat around the Sinclair Inlet shoreline
for at least part of the year or part of their life cycle include the
following birds: Brandt’s cormorant, regular large concentrations of
brant (geese), common loon, common murre, breeding
concentrations of cormorants and alcids, breeding areas for great
blue heron, regular marine concentrations of harlequin duck,
marbled murrelet, non-breeding concentrations of Barrow’s
goldeneye, common goldeneye, and bufflehead; non-breeding
concentrations of loons, grebes, cormorants, and alcids; non-
breeding concentrations of plovers, sandpipers, and phalaropes;
bald eagle, peregrine falcon, and regular large concentrations of
waterfowl, western grebe.
Marine habitat fish include Chinook salmon, coho salmon, chum
salmon, pink salmon, sockeye salmon, bull trout, steelhead, coastal
cutthroat trout, Pacific herring, Pacific sand lance, surf smelt,
longfin smelt, and numerous rockfish species.
Marine habitat shellfish include breeding areas and regular
concentrations of Dungeness crab, regular concentrations of
geoduck, regular concentrations of Manila clam, native littleneck
clam, northern abalone, Olympia oyster (restoration efforts in
progress), regular concentrations of Pacific oyster, regular
concentrations of Pandalid shrimp, and regular concentrations of
red urchin.
Marine habitat mammals include haulout areas for California sea
lion, regular concentrations of Dall’s porpoise, haulout areas for
harbor seal, Orca whale, and Pacific harbor porpoise.
Kelp and eelgrass beds – provide habitat, feeding, and rearing
grounds for a large number of marine organisms including crabs,
fish, and birds. Kelp is the large brown seaweed typically found in
rocky intertidal and subtidal areas. Eelgrass is a vascular plant that
grows most commonly in intertidal and shallow subtidal sandy and
muddy areas.
Kelp beds provide a surface upon which other plants and animals
grow. The beds are used as resting areas by birds and mammals
including gulls, herons, waterfowl, shorebirds, and seals. Kelp beds
also protect environments for intertidal plants and animals by
reducing current, wave action, and inshore erosion on sand and
gravel beaches. The beds provide a protected beach habitat for
marine organisms that would not be present otherwise.
Eelgrass is a highly productive plant that provides trophic functions
and nutrient infusions for the entire coastal zone. Eelgrass beds
provide an important stopover and wintering area along the Pacific
flyway for a variety of migratory birds. The eelgrass beds around
Vashon Island and in Puget Sound have been found to be 3 times
more productive to diving birds, for example, than non-vegetated
near- shore areas.
Kelp and eelgrass beds have declined in number and overall size in
Puget Sound in recent years. The decline may be due to changes in
water quality and turbidity resulting from urban development and
forest cutting activities, or to natural fluctuations due to storms,
Page 232 of 398
Port Orchard PROS Plan 7
unusually hot weather, or an increase in the population of grazing
species.
Shellfish - commercial and recreational shellfish inhabit the mud,
sands, and rocky substrata of Sinclair Inlet shoreline’s passages,
bays, harbors, and coves. Intertidal areas support hardshell clams
including butter clams, native littleneck, manila clams, cockles, and
horse clams. Geoducks typically burrow in subtidal areas up to 2 to
3 feet into the mud or soft sand. Shrimp, crab, and oysters also
inhabit the shoreline areas. Dungeness crab frequent eelgrass beds,
and red rock crab inhabit rocky terrain with less silt content.
Surf smelt, Pacific herring, and Pacific sand lance spawning
areas – are found in marine near-shore areas year-round, and
spawning may occur year-round. Most Pacific herring stocks spawn
from late January through early April. Spawning areas for Pacific
sand lance are scattered along near-shore areas around the Everett
shoreline, with spawning in intertidal areas occurring annually from
November 1 through February 15.
Estuarine habitat
Estuaries are semi-enclosed bodies of water that are freely
connected with the open sea and within which saltwater mixes with
freshwater drainage. Estuaries create transitions between marine,
freshwater, and terrestrial environments that support a rich and
diverse variety of wildlife species.
By definition, estuaries have a salt concentration from 0.5 parts per
trillion up to 30 parts per thousand. Estuaries include subtidal and
intertidal zones as well as lagoons, sloughs, and channels that meet
this salinity definition. Estuaries are typically shallower with
warmer water temperatures than marine habitat zones.
In Port Orchard, the estuarine environment extends inland for some
distance from Sinclair Inlet where freshwater from the Ross and
Blackjack Creeks mixes with saltwater tidal currents. Salinity
content may be affected by the amount of freshwater flow that
enters the saltwater, the strength of the tides, and the resulting
amount of fresh to saltwater mixing. Salinity is not constant within
such a mixing and may vary with depth and area of flow. The
animals and plants that are established within the area are often
better predictors of the estuary's influence than salinity alone.
Port Orchard’s numerous bottomland creek drainage area streams
have largely been channelized or diverted where they merge with
Sinclair Inlet negating the potential for estuary habitat.
Wildlife species - estuaries support many of the same species that
are present in the marine environment described above in some
species, such as oysters, are more abundant in estuaries.
Freshwater habitat
Freshwater bodies include lakes, rivers, creeks, wetlands, riparian
areas, and all other types of water bodies not included in estuaries
or marine habitat that have a low ocean salt content.
Freshwater habitats support different wildlife than saltwater
systems, particularly species that depend on wetland vegetation.
However, 87% of all wildlife and fish species are estimated to
depend on streams, wetlands, or other freshwater bodies during
some part of the species life cycle for drinking water, foraging,
nesting, and migratory movements.
Riparian areas - are the wooded or vegetated corridors located
along rivers, streams, and springs. Riparian corridors possess free
flowing water or moist conditions that support high water tables,
certain soil characteristics, and vegetation that are transitional
between freshwater and terrestrial habitat zones. The transitional
edges are usually defined by a change in plant composition, relative
plant abundance, and the end of high soil moisture content.
Riparian corridors transport water, soil, plant seeds, and nutrients
to downstream areas - and thereby serve as important migration
routes for many wildlife species. Riparian areas, though small in
overall size, are one of the most important sources of wildlife bio-
diversity in the landscape.
Freshwater wetland habitats are water bodies less than 20 acres in
size or less than 6 feet in depth and include marshes, swamps,
bogs, seeps, wet meadows, shallow ponds, and lakes.
Page 233 of 398
8 Port Orchard PROS Plan
Like riparian areas, wetlands support species in great diversities,
densities, and productivity. The wooded areas that are located
adjacent to wetlands provide nesting areas, forage, and other cover
that is critical to wetland-dependent species like most waterfowl or
small mammals like beaver.
Wetlands - there are 2 principal wetland types within Port Orchard:
Scrub/shrub wetlands - with seasonal flooding, characterized by
hardhack, willow, red alder or redosier dogwood, and
Shallow marsh - deep marsh, and open water wetlands.
Riparian and wetland vegetation provides significant food and
cover for wildlife habitat. Generally, riparian zones and wetlands
provide substantially more important wildlife habitat than forested
areas.
Riparian zones are also passageways for wildlife migrating between
or around developed areas. Riparian vegetation also helps maintain
optimum fish spawning conditions by providing shade, bank
stabilization, a breeding ground for insects, and a source of organic
material for the stream.
Riparian zones are located along the undeveloped shoreline of the
numerous creeks in Port Orchard, the numerous tributary streams
within their drainage corridors, and the numerous ponds and
wetlands. These areas are covered with riparian vegetation and
should be considered important wildlife corridors.
Wildlife species - freshwater zones support terrestrial and aquatic
insects and resident and migratory fish species.
Anadromous fish species include coho, chinook, and chum salmon,
and steelhead. Naturally occurring or established species include
largemouth bass, brown bullheads, bluegill, and black crappie.
Freshwater zones also support a variety of birds and mammals
including salamanders, frogs, osprey, ducks, river otter, and beaver.
Riparian and wetland vegetation provides significant food and
cover for wildlife habitat. Generally, riparian zones and wetlands
provide substantially more important wildlife habitat than forested
areas.
Riparian zones are also passageways for wildlife migrating between
or around developed areas. Riparian vegetation also helps maintain
optimum fish spawning conditions by providing shade, bank
stabilization, a breeding ground for insects, and a source of organic
material for the stream.
Urban and agricultural developments have substantially reduced
wildlife habitat through the years. However, valuable habitat
qualities may still remain in the undeveloped, large native
vegetation tracts and around the remaining wetlands and riparian
(streamside) forests of Anderson, Ross, Blackjack, and Annapolis
Creeks, the numerous tributary streams within their drainage
corridors, and the numerous ponds and wetlands.
Wetlands and riparian zones may support muskrat, mink, otter,
beaver, raccoon, and weasel. Water bodies, wetlands, and adjacent
fields also provide suitable nesting and feeding habitat for mallard
ducks, American widgeons, green-wing teal, common coot, common
merganser, blue-wing teals and great blue heron, and lesser and
greater Canadian goose.
Portions of Anderson, Ross, Blackjack, and Annapolis Creeks
drainage areas may also provide habitat for the bald eagle and
osprey. The northern bald eagle is listed as a potentially threatened
or endangered species on Washington State's endangered and
threatened lists. No other endangered or threatened species are
known to occur in the Port Orchard area.
Fisheries – the lower reaches of some Port Orchard creeks that have
not been affected by culverts and farmland drainage channels may
provide freshwater habitat for species of anadromous fish,
including steelhead, walleye, and salmon species, that live in
saltwater but return to spawn in freshwater.
Page 234 of 398
Port Orchard PROS Plan 9
These fish species have evolved over time to fit the specific
characteristics of their stream of origin - and are uniquely
imprinted compared with other members of the same species.
Blackjack Creek is one of the major fish producing streams in East
Kitsap, and supports Chinook, coho, steelhead, cutthroat and
summer chum (chinook and steelhead are Endangered Species Act
(ESA) listed species). The summer chum run is the only native (non-
hatchery) summer chum run known in the mid-Puget Sound area.
Blackjack Creek contains important habitat for several salmonid
species. Fish use in the creek includes large numbers of early chum
salmon, including an early-returning stock that the Washington
State Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) considers to be rare.
In addition, the creek supports significant numbers of late
returning chum, coho salmon, and steelhead, searun cutthroat
trout, and resident cutthroat. There has also been documented use
of Blackjack Creek by fall Chinook salmon.
Anadromous fish require cool, uncontaminated water with healthy
streambeds and insect populations. Vegetated riparian areas
maintain stream habitats by stabilizing water temperature,
producing an insect supply, controlling erosion, and providing
woody debris.
Anadromous game fish that have been identified in the Possession
Sound shoreline include rainbow trout, cutthroat, dolly varden,
eastern brook trout, whitefish, largemouth bass, perch, crappie, and
catfish.
These species spawn and rear in medium sized gravel beds that are
provided medium velocity water flow along creek channels,
swamps, marshes, perennial and seasonal streams.
Factors that have caused the diminishment of the wild runs include:
Forest clear-cutting and land developments - that create
sediment loads increasing water turbidity and silting in gravel
spawning beds;
Clear-cutting tree stands in riparian areas – that remove
natural shading increasing water temperatures; and
Water diversions – including dams and dikes, that restrict
access from the upper reaches and spawning areas of stream and
river runs.
The Washington Department of Fisheries & Wildlife (WDFW) and
various Tribal Governments supplement the natural stocks in order
to maintain river runs for most of these species.
Terrestrial habitat
Terrestrial areas are the upland lands located above freshwater,
estuarine, and marine water zones. The zones may extend from the
level lowlands that border marsh or creek banks to the tops of the
bluffs, hills, or foothills located around the Cascade Mountain
range.
Plants - natural plant communities are described in terms of broad
patterns called vegetation zones. Washington plant communities
are divided into 3 major vegetation groupings including:
Forests,
Grasslands and shrub/grass communities,
Timberline and alpine areas.
The plateaus overlooking Sinclair Inlet and Anderson, Ross,
Blackjack, and Annapolis Creeks include some forested vegetation
zones. The zones are defined by the different climates created by
different elevations and the distinctive vegetation type that
becomes dominant in a climax forest after the forest has progressed
through successive stages of natural development. The dominant
species defined by the zone usually reproduces to maintain
dominance until some disturbance, such as fire, alters the zone's
environment.
Deciduous tree species such as red alder (Alnus rubra) or big leaf
maple (Acer macrophyllum) or golden chinkapin are generally
dominant on the lands that have been cleared for urban and
agriculture uses. Black cottonwood and Oregon ash, along with red
alder and big-leaf maple, tend to grow along major water corridors.
Portions of Port Orchard – particularly the wooded hillsides and
ravines include several second growth lowland forested cover types
Page 235 of 398
10 Port Orchard PROS Plan
including coniferous, deciduous, and mixed coniferous/deciduous
forests.
This forest type has marginal value as commercial timber or as
unique vegetation. The majority of commercially important timber
resources have been harvested, usually along with associated
residential land development.
Grasses, agricultural crops, and riparian vegetation cover the
lowland areas of the creek drainage corridors - the latter prevalent
along creek floodplains and at the edge of wetlands or open bodies
of water.
Deciduous hardwood trees including red alder, cottonwood
(Populus trichocarpa), Oregon Ash (Fraxinus latifolia), willow (Salix
sp.), and associated understory species are dominant within the
wetland areas.
Species - terrestrial zones support a variety of insects, amphibians,
reptiles, lowland and upland birds, large, and small mammals. Some
species, such as eagles, osprey, and murrelets, forage in other
habitats but nest in upland locations in wooded areas in or near
riparian zones.
Other species may forage in all of the zones, particularly during the
winter months, but retreat for night and seasonal cover into the
upland wooded areas. Examples include a variety of game species
such as pigeon, grouse, rabbit, and deer within the lowlands, and
even bear and cougar in the Cascade foothills that occasionally
migrate into the urban areas.
Mature forested areas provide thermal cover during winter months
allowing larger game mammals to forage up to 3,000 feet in
elevation during normal winter season or 2,000 feet during
especially harsh winters.
Animals - urban and agricultural developments within Port Orchard
area have substantially reduced wildlife habitat through the years.
However, valuable habitat qualities still remain in undeveloped,
large native vegetation tracts along the hillsides, and around the
remaining wetlands and riparian (streamside) forests along
Anderson, Ross, Blackjack, and Annapolis Creek corridors and the
Sinclair Inlet shoreline and estuaries.
Wooded areas support a wide variety of large and small mammals,
birds, reptiles, and amphibians. The most common mammals within
the wooded areas include chipmunks, rabbits, marmots, skunks,
and raccoons.
A small number of larger mammals including black-tailed deer,
coyote, and cougar likely occur at the edge of the upper reaches of
the Cascade foothills where large contiguous forested areas remain
though they can also migrate into the urban areas on occasion.
Crows, jays, nuthatches, woodpeckers, sparrows, winter wrens,
ruffled grouse, blue grouse, quail, band-tailed pigeon, turtle dove,
pheasant, partridge, Merriam's turkey, owls, hawks, Osprey, and
eagles can find suitable habitat for feeding and nesting in the
upland forested areas, creek and stream corridors.
Many of these species can tolerate adjacent urban development so
long as some habitat and connecting migration corridors remain
undisturbed.
Portions of Anderson, Ross, Blackjack, and Annapolis Creek
drainage corridors, the bottomlands, and other low-lying areas are
now devoted to pastures and meadows with some woody
vegetation, grasses, and wildflowers. These materials provide food
for migratory waterfowl and deer, habitat for rodents and other
small animals, and prey for predators like garter snakes, barn owls,
red-tailed hawk, and fox.
Large and rural contiguous parcels of land provide habitat for
wildlife that compete successfully with other species in deeper
cover, like birds and larger mammals like deer, bobcat, and possibly
even bear at the upper most edges of the Cascade foothills.
Important terrestrial habitat elements for these species include tall
trees along the shoreline, mature forests with snags and fallen
trees, and undisturbed mature forest near or surrounding wetlands.
Page 236 of 398
Port Orchard PROS Plan 11
These habitat elements are primarily important to bird species that
nest and perch in the trees, and to small mammals like beaver and
river otter that rely upon an interface between the undisturbed
terrestrial and aquatic areas.
Other important habitats - migratory songbirds rely on the habitat
provided by large wooded areas. These species do not adapt well
where clear-cutting practices or urban land developments have
fragmented the forest habitat.
Smaller wooded tracts are suitable for many plant and animal
communities and may provide temporary cover for some species
for foraging or migratory movement. Large parks and open spaces
can serve as wildlife refuges in urban areas – including Veterans
Memorial, South Kitsap, Bill Bloomquist Rotary, Long Lake County,
Howe Farm County, Square Lake State Parks, and the open spaces
around McCormick Woods. However, the number and diversity of
species declines in direct relation to the size of the habitat and
where the habitat has been isolated from other natural areas.
The size and extent of the terrestrial habitat can be improved where
natural migration corridors connect small tracts and large reserves.
Natural migratory corridors enable species to colonize new areas,
forage for food, find mates, and exchange genes with neighboring
populations.
Ideally, according to studies, successful wildlife migratory corridors
should be at least 100 feet wide along streams with additional
buffers about severe slopes and extensive wetland areas.
Unique and threatened species
Unique species
The Washington Department of Natural Resources lists a number of
sensitive species in danger of becoming extinct within the
freshwater and terrestrial habitats including:

Priority habitat
The Washington Department of Fisheries & Wildlife has listed the
following species as being species of concern, threatened, or
endangered:
Marine, estuarine, freshwater, and terrestrial habitat
Bald eagle - a threatened species that depend on coniferous,
uneven-aged forests near rivers, lakes, marine, and estuarine zones
for nesting and foraging food,
Page 237 of 398
12 Port Orchard PROS Plan
Osprey - a species of concern that depend on tall trees or dead
snags near large bodies of water,
River otter - a threatened species that depend on wooded
streams and estuaries for food, forage, and cover, and
Harlequin duck - that depend on trees and shrub streams,
banks, boulder and gravel shorelines, and kelp beds.
Estuarine, and freshwater and terrestrial habitat
Cavity nesting ducks - (Barrow's goldeneye, bufflehead, wood
duck, hood mergansen) that depend on tree cavities adjacent to
sloughs, lakes, beaver ponds, and other open water wetlands.
Freshwater and terrestrial habitat
Blue goose - that depend on open foothills created by fire or
small clearcuts with streams, springs, and other water features,
Band-tailed pigeon - that depend on coastal forests with diverse
tree ages, and farmland, mineral springs, and streams with gravel
deposits,
Sea-run and coastal cutthroat, and chinook salmon - that
depend on wetlands and riparian corridors for spawning and
rearing,
Steelhead - that depend on wetlands and riparian corridors for
spawning and rearing,
Greenbacked heron - that depend on wooded ponds, and
Beaver - that depend on wetlands and streams for food, forage,
and cover.
Terrestrial habitat
Purple martin - a species of concern that depend on tree cavities
in low lying forests,
Pileated woodpecker - that depend on mature second growth
coniferous forests with snags and fallen trees,
Columbian black-tailed deer - that depend on deep forest for
cover,
Wildlife habitat concerns
Freshwater habitat
Some freshwater courses, particularly the Port Orchard creek
drainage tributary streams and Puyalluup River bottomlands, have
been altered by landfill or piped diversions, dikes, and channeling.
Past development actions adjacent to urban areas, particularly the
shorelines and waterfronts have filled valuable wetland habitat
areas.
The greatest risks to freshwater zones are contaminants that may
enter the stormwater runoff from agriculture, septic failures, and
other urban land uses. Water quality risks are also dramatically
increased where land development or timber clear-cutting increases
erosion and silt and/or clear vegetation within the riparian buffer
along the freshwater corridor.
Development activities most adversely affect the quality of
freshwater habitat by removing vegetation, increasing silt, organic
debris, and other stormwater contaminants that enter the natural
drainage system. Generally, studies have determined that the
hydrological balance of a stream begins to decline when 12% of the
watershed becomes impervious.
Terrestrial habitat
Lands cleared for agriculture and urban land development have
permanently lost considerable terrestrial habitat. Commercial forest
management practices have replanted timber clear cuts with single
species reducing wildlife diversity and isolating habitat and
migration corridors, particularly along riparian areas.
Fire-fighting practices, particularly of wildfires that would
otherwise occur from natural forces, have reduced the amount and
varying availability of meadowlands and other open areas necessary
for foraging activities.
The greatest risk to the terrestrial habitat, however, is the
continued pace of commercial logging and urban land conversions -
particularly land development patterns that block or demolish
migration corridors, log timbered areas, remove riparian cover,
erode productive topsoil, and introduce urban activities -
potentially including intense recreational uses - into wildlife areas.
Careless logging practices have often led to serious soil erosion and
the degradation of slopes.
Page 238 of 398
Port Orchard PROS Plan 13
Page 239 of 398
14 Port Orchard PROS Plan
As the most important habitats are isolated, the wildlife species
declines in diversity and number. Urban tolerant species, like
raccoons and crows, invade the remaining habitat from the urban
edges, supplanting and driving out remaining native species.
Land use implications
Marine, estuary, freshwater and terrestrial habitats contribute to the
overall biological diversity of the region and provide a number of
additional environmental functions and values of interest to Port
Orchard residents. Many species depend on the constant interaction
of all habitat systems for food, cover, nesting, and other survival
requirements.
Some plant, fish, and wildlife habitat have irretrievably been lost as
the Port Orchard area developed and as the pace of development
continues. These impacts can be minimized, however, by sensitive
land use patterns, innovative design concepts, and performance
oriented development standards that:
Replant - native vegetation along the Port Orchard creek
shorelines and along tributary stream drainage corridors,
Remove - artificial shoreline constructions and freshwater
impoundment or diversions,
Control - stormwater runoff content and quality that enters the
natural drainage system and within the watershed in natural
impoundment on-site where pollutants can be separated from
natural drainage,
Cultivate - berry or fruit plants that support and retain native
species, and
Cluster – roadways and other improvements to preserve natural
shorelines and contiguous open spaces as common lands.
Portions of the most critical remaining habitat, like mature
shoreline trees, snags, and downed logs, if retained, can sometimes
allow wildlife species to coexist in urban areas.
The most effective preservation strategies, however, separate the
most intense urban activities from the most sensitive habitats by
creating woodland conservancies, open space corridors, and other
protected areas.
Where appropriate, the park, recreation, and open space plan
should preserve and enhance the most critical and unique habitat
areas by purchasing development rights or title for resource
conservancy parks along Anderson, Ross, Blackjack, and Annapolis
Creeks, Square and Big Lakes.
Historical development
Prehistoric setting
The arrival of Indian groups in the Pacific Northwest cannot be
dated with great precision. However, archaeological investigations
at the Manis mastodon site near Sequim on the Olympic Peninsula
indicate man was in the area as early as 12,000 years ago. Sea level
rises approximately 5,000 years ago, however, may have inundated
even older sites.
Known sites have been grouped into the following rather broad time
periods and cultural sequences:
Paleoindian - approximately 11,000+ BP consisting of highly
mobile, small groups that subsisted on marine, shoreline, and
terrestrial resources with stone, bone, antler, and perishable
technological materials illustrated by Clovis points.
Archaic – 10,500-4,400 BC consisting of highly mobile small
groups subsisting on marine, shoreline, and terrestrial resources
with stone, bone, antler, and perishable technological materials
illustrated by Olcott points.
Early Pacific – 4,400-1,800 BC consisting of increased
sedentism in seasonal villages subsisting on shoreline resources,
expanded marine resources harvesting camas and shellfish with an
increase in ground stone, bone, antler, and perishable technological
materials illustrated by Cascade points.
Middle Pacific – 1,800 BC - 500 AD consisting of winter villages
of plank houses and seasonal camps subsisting on marine and
riverine resources with food storage technologies with a decrease in
stone tools, diversification of tools of bone, antler, perishable
technological materials and canoes.
Page 240 of 398
Port Orchard PROS Plan 15
Late Pacific – 500 – 1775 AD consisting of large permanent
villages and special use camps subsisting on specialized marine,
riverine, and terrestrial resources with extensive food storage with
very little stone tools.
There are more than 5,000 Native American sites on record in the
state, only a few of which have been professionally evaluated.
Generally, sites are located at river conjunctions within valleys and
along the shoreline.
Native American history
A large number of different Indian tribes and bands inhabited the
Pacific Northwest region with varied life-styles and different
languages, dress, ceremonies, and adornments.
Tribal characteristics are generally distinguished between the
coastal tribes of western Washington and those of the interior. In
general, the coastal tribes depended on the rivers and tidal waters
for staple foods whereas the interior tribes relied more heavily
upon plants and berries, as well as game and other animals.
Native peoples are believed to have lived in the Puget Sound region
some 6,000 years ago, their way of life essentially unchanged for
hundreds of generations.
The Puget Sound native peoples, including the Duwamish,
Nisqually, Suquamish, and other tribes, were of the Coast Salish
language group, part of the highly developed Northwest Coast
Indians, one of the most sophisticated nonagricultural societies in
the world.
In contrast to nearly every other native group in North America,
these people enjoyed freedom from want with:
An abundance and variety of food, including salmon, other fish
and shellfish;
Limitless quantities of building materials (principally cedar,
which they were highly adept at fashioning into canoes,
longhouses and hundreds of other items);
Easily caught fur-bearing animals (providing skins for winter
clothing);
A mild climate;
Ample leisure time;
Remarkable and enduring artwork; and
Development of a status-based culture that included the
distribution of surplus wealth (the "potlatch" ceremony) and the
owning of slaves.
Probably the single most important source of sustenance—physical,
spiritual and artistic—for the Indians of Puget Sound was the
salmon. Each year these fish returned to Puget Sound rivers and
streams by the millions to spawn and die at the source of their
birth. The Indians took advantage of the spawning runs of several
different species of salmon, devising ingenious methods of
catching and drying these fish.
The Suquamish – or D’Suq’Wub (People of the Clear Saltwater) are a
federally recognized Coast Salishan Native American Tribe that
lived from Gig Harbor north between Hood Canal and Admiralty
Inlet and as far south as Case and Carr Inlets, and on Black,
Bainbridge, and Whidbey Islands.
Today there are about 950 enrolled members of which about 200
live on or adjacent to the Port Madison Reservation that was
established under the Point Elliott Treaty of 1855 for the
Suquamish, Duwamish, and Skekomish (Muckelshoot) Indians.
The Suquamish name is derived from the ancient Native village that
lay along the shores of Agate Passage, near the town of Suquamish,
on the eastern Kitsap Peninsula.
Suquamish life revolved around the seasonal harvests of fish,
shellfish, roots, and berries, The Suquamish traded with
neighboring tribes for whale oil, razor clams, salmon, basketry, and
beadwork. During the winter they repaired utensils, tools, and
weapons and carried on carving, weaving, and basket making in
longhouses.

16 Port Orchard PROS Plan
The Suquamish remained mostly at peace with non-Indians but not
always with other tribes. Chief Sealth, or Seattle (after who the city
was named), reportedly was born on Blake Island around 1786.
The Suquamish were among the various peoples who traded at the
Hudson’s Bay Company’s Fort Nisqually, which was established in
1833 at the southern end of Puget Sound. They were also among
those who met the Roman Catholic missionaries in the early 1840s.
The Suquamish, as with other Native American tribes, have long
assimilated other ethnicities through intermarriage and adoption.
They have brought up ethnically mixed children to identify with the
tribe, both culturally and ethnically.
Early explorations
In 1792 British naval Captain George Vancouver, on a mission to
settle British fur-trading claims against Spain, surveyed the
northwest coast of North America and determined the existence of
the fabled "Northwest Passage," sailing into Puget Sound on his ship
Discovery.
Vancouver charted the entire area, providing more than 200
geographical names, including Vashon (Island), Mount Rainier, and
Puget Sound (named after Lieutenant Peter Puget, the officer in
charge of one of the survey boats). Puget and Joseph Whidbey, the
expedition’s master sea surveyor, would take a week tour of
southern Puget Sound, charting the waters and landmarks together
in the Discovery’s launch and cutter.
Vancouver followed them in Discovery’s yawl and the cutter of her
sister ship, the Chatham. He proceeded south through the Sound’s
main channel along the eastern shore of Vashon Island where he
saw dense clouds of smoke blanketing the thick forests crowding
the water’s edge.
(Puget Sound Indians routinely set fire to the woods to make foot
travel easier, drive out deer and other game, and create open spaces
where berries and other sun-loving plants could thrive.)
Port Orchard Bay was “discovered” and named during Vancouver’s
exploration of the Puget Sound in April and May 1792. While
investigating Kitsap County, Vancouver had judged an entrance to
the vast Port Orchard Bay to be a small cove with an island. After
returning from a brief shore leave, Harry Masterman Orchard, a
ship’s clerk on the Discovery and a surveyor, notified Vancouver
that the area was actually an entrance to a large natural harbor.
Vancouver corrected the error and named the harbor Port Orchard
Bay.
By 1833 the Hudson’s Bay Company had established posts on the
Fraser River and at Fort Nisqually, making Puget Sound an
important canoe route between the two. At the time, the Oregon
Country was jointly ruled by the US and Great Britain.
In 1841 Lieutenant Charles Wilkes was placed in command of US
Pacific and Arctic explorations and proceeded to survey Northwest
Coast rivers and harbors, naming many geographical features,
including Elliott Bay, Williams, Blake Island, Point Roberts (now Alki
Point), Maury Island, Quartermaster Harbor and Point Pully, named
for Robert Pully, a quartermaster in one of Wilkes’ crews.
Early settlement
Port Orchard was platted as Sidney in 1886 by Frederick Stevens,
who wanted to name the future town after his father, Sidney Merrill
Stevens. Sidney quickly became known for its lumber industry,
pottery works, small businesses, and agricultural opportunities. In
1890 it became the first town to incorporate in Kitsap County.
Sidney residents took an active role in bringing the Puget Sound
Naval Station (later Puget Sound Naval Shipyard) to Kitsap County.
The Navy employed many residents of Port Orchard and greater
Kitsap County from the turn of the century onwards, and became
the most important employer in the county.
In 1893, after building a courthouse and donating it to the county,
Sidney was chosen as county seat. From 1892 to 1903, Sidney
entered into stiff competition with Charleston over which city could
be named Port Orchard (Sidney won). After 1903, Port Orchard
continued to grow due to the expansion of the naval yard during
Page 242 of 398
Port Orchard PROS Plan 17
the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, and the 1960s,
and due to Port Orchard’s reputation as a quiet waterfront
community located in a beautiful environment and close to Seattle.
In the 1850s, Captain William Renton (1818-1891) and other lumber
and shipping merchants began developing Western Washington’s
lumber industry in response to demand for lumber in San Francisco.
Kitsap County proved an excellent site for timber due to its spruce,
cedar, hemlock, and Douglas fir forests that grew right up to the
extensive coastline.
In 1854 Renton, who had built a sawmill at Seattle's Alki Point the
year before, moved it across Puget Sound to a more protected
location on Port Orchard Bay, where it became the area's first mill.
Although generally referred to as the Port Orchard mill, Renton's
operation was located across Sinclair Inlet from where the city of
Port Orchard would be developed, in what later became the Enetai
area of East Bremerton. Renton sold the "Port Orchard" mill in 1862,
but the area remained an attractive spot for lumber merchants and
loggers.
Despite a healthy lumber industry, Sinclair Inlet, the site of Sidney
(Port Orchard), did not have a permanent resident until 1885, when
Henry Cline and family members moved from Long Lake (to where
they had moved from Kansas in 1883) to Mitchell Point on the
Sinclair Inlet. The family included Cline, his sister Sadie, her
husband Adrian H. Sroufe, and their infant son. (Settler Robert
Campbell had taken up a homestead in Sidney in 1873, but his
residence is not counted among the first permanent residences of
the town.)
In 1886, Frederick Stevens, a relative of the Cline family, platted
Sidney after his father, Sidney Merrill Stevens, purchased 88.5 acres
for the creation of a town. That year the Clines moved to the Sidney
town site.
Henry Cline opened the town’s first store to serve the growing
community. In 1887 he joined Sroufe in a fishing venture and
constructed a smokehouse. In 1888, Cline secured a post office for
Sidney and served as its first postmaster.
In August 1886, Thomas Cline, a relative of Henry’s who had
followed the family to Sidney, founded Kitsap County’s first
newspaper, The Kitsap County Pioneer. Shortly after starting the
paper, he sold it to his typesetter and “man of the shop,” Adrian
Sroufe.
In 1889, Thomas Cline built the town’s first wharf, which further
increased the growth of the town’s population. The wharf gave
boats a place to dock, making the transportation of goods and
people into Sidney much easier. In earlier years, settlers had to use
rowboats and force their livestock to swim for shore. The wharf
coincided with the rise of the “Mosquito Fleet.” These private steam
vessels serving Puget Sound were so numerous that they were said
to resemble a swarm of mosquitoes.
Mosquito Fleet vessels that traveled among Kitsap County towns
and to and from Seattle and Tacoma became the chief form of
transportation for Sidney residents. By the 1920s diesel-electric
ferries from San Francisco replaced the much smaller steamship
ferries.
Not long after the opening of Henry Cline’s store, C. W. Corbett
opened the Corbett Drugstore. From 1887 to 1889, Sidney was
known for its Port Orchard Brick and Tile Company, as well as a few
small lumber and shingle mills. And in early 1890, John Melcher, a
pottery craftsman, opened a large pottery works, which made sewer
pipes, terra cotta ware, and provided Seattle with brick for its first
paved street. It remained a prominent business in Sidney until it
and Sidney’s entire business district burned down in 1895.
On September 15, 1890, Sidney was incorporated as a fourth-class
city. The mayor and council sought to address the issue of Sidney’s
lack of streets. Since so many people traveled by boat, the roads in
and around the town were never adequately developed. For
example, Bay Street, the town’s main thoroughfare, was “inundated
by saltwater” each high tide.
The officials also wanted to connect each of Sidney’s three parts,
since Pottery Creek and Black Jack Creek naturally divided the town.
In order to fund Sidney’s first public works projects, Sidney
Page 243 of 398
18 Port Orchard PROS Plan
officials instituted an annual license fee for the town’s saloons, as
well as a poll tax on each adult male resident.
The first project funded by the newly incorporated town was a
grading project on Sidney Hill. The dirt collected from the hill then
was then filled in an area 16 feet wide and a few blocks long to level
and improve road conditions downtown. Projects taken on by later
mayors and councils included more grading, the filling of a salt
marsh, the construction of the Black Jack Bridge, and the
Toonerville Trolley Railroad.
In 1895 a fire burned down most of the business district. Among
the businesses destroyed were the pottery works and a shingle mill.
But by 1901 Port Orchard was again booming. The Kitsap County
Business Review promised prosperity for those who came to Port
Orchard because of its proximity to fine pine, fir, and hemlock for
lumber; ample land ideal for dairy, chicken, or Angora goat farms or
for orchards; deep sea fishing; and the opportunities with the
shipyard.
By 1901, Port Orchard was home to a large hotel, two steamboat
companies, two churches, a public school, fraternal lodges, two
daily mail services, and by five steamboats heading to Seattle every
day.
The growth and prosperity of Port Orchard had long been tied to
the activity in the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, and the shipyard’s
involvement in World War II was no exception. The shipyard led the
effort to repair ships fighting on the Pacific front and even repaired
five of the six ships damaged in the attack on Pearl Harbor. During
this period, the government constructed two large housing projects
on the outskirts of Port Orchard to house shipyard workers and
their families. The new housing resulted in such a population boom
that the government also had to construct new schools for the
shipyard workers’ children.
The Puget Sound Naval Shipyard remained a large employer of Port
Orchard residents, as it became responsible for deactivation and
storage following World War II, converting aircraft carriers to be
compatible with newer, more advanced airplanes, activating ships
in the Korean War, and building missile frigates in the 1960s.
Many residents still work for the shipyard or Naval Base Kitsap, but
they also commute to Seattle and Tacoma. In recent years, Port
Orchard has attracted many new residents as a result of its appeal
as a pleasant waterfront community that is close to Seattle.
Today, Port Orchard also draws a large crowd of tourists that come
for Port Orchard’s beaches, public marina, golf courses, trails, and
for the town itself. Every year, Port Orchard hosts several festivals
and events, including the Seagull Calling Festival each May, the
Murder Mystery Weekend each September, and an Art Walk held on
the third Friday evening of each month, May through October.

Socioeconomic characteristics
The US Bureau of the Census conducts the decadal census
consisting of a detailed and comprehensive assessment of
employment, housing, income, and other statistics every 10 years
that is used to determine electoral districts, income sharing, and
other federal measures. The decadal census is based on census
tracts that are statistical boundaries for the collection of
information that are organized and grouped into jurisdictional
areas consisting of census designated places (CDP) as well as cities,
counties, and states.
The US Bureau of the Census initiated the American Community
Survey (ACS) to provide more current information on an annual
basis. The ACS is based on annual random statistical sampling of
civil divisions that are collated over a multiple years span to
provide an accurate projection of socioeconomic conditions and
trends.
The following statistics and charts are drawn from a comparison of
socioeconomic characteristics for the United States, Washington

Summary
Port Orchard has accumulated younger, mobile households,
families, in base industry employments, with lower house values,
lower rentals, in single-family housing units, with modest family
and per capita incomes, with vehicles, shorter travel to work times,
with low ratios of Hispanic and speaking language other than
English, with higher percentages in poverty income levels than
Kitsap County, Puget Sound, Washington State, and the United
States.
Port Orchard’s future socioeconomic characteristics will depend on
the unique attractions the city retains and/or develops in the future
particularly in its park and recreation programs and facilities.
Socioeconomic projections
The Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) projected the future
composition of population, employment, income, and housing
within the region based on regional and national trends.
Population and households – will continue to increase in the Puget
Sound region due to continued in-migration as well as some natural
increase. The average household size, however, will continue to
decline as a larger proportion of all households age past
childbearing ages and mortality rates decline.
Percent of the population under age 4 – has fluctuated due to the
“ripple” affects of the baby boom generation aging through
childbearing years and concentrating births in a similar fashion.
The percent of young children is expected to stabilize between 6-7%
in the future, down from a high of 8% in the recent past.
Percent of the population over age 65 – will increase due to the
aging of the baby boom generation and declining mortality rates or
longer life expectancies.
Ratio of population to employees – will gradually decline as a
larger proportion of the population ages beyond working ages and a
lesser proportion of working adults emerge in the workplace.
Percent of all housing multifamily – has and will continue to
increase as empty nester and older households, as well as
nonfamily households increase as a proportion of the population
and the Puget Sound region continues to urbanize developing more
townhouses, condominiums, mixed-use mid to high rise structures.
Conclusion
Based on the year 2014-2018 American Community Survey (ACS)
characteristics, Port Orchard park, recreation, and open space
demands are expected to reflect slightly younger age populations
with moderate income, in older modest valued housing than would
be typical of the park, recreation, and open space demands of the
surrounding county, region, state, and nation. The increase in
population projected to occur in the next 20 years may continue to
attract the atypical age and household population groups that have
been typical of the city to date.
In most respects, the expected additional in-migrant population will
be attracted by and in turn impact the park, recreation, and open
space facilities Port Orchard proposes to provide current residents
accordingly.

Inventory implications
Port Orchard, Kitsap County, Port of Bremerton, Washington
State, Homeowner Associations (HOA), South Kitsap School
District, and other public and private agencies have amassed an
impressive amount of acreage - that includes every conceivable
kind of parkland within or directly adjacent to Port Orchard city
limits including nature conservancy’s, wildlife corridors and
habitats, trail systems, athletic sites, and indoor facilities.
Almost every kind of park, recreation, and open space
activity - is presently provided by these public and private agencies
combined within or directly adjacent to Port Orchard city limits
including picnicking, hiking and multipurpose trails, youth and
adult recreational courts and fields, indoor swimming pool,
community centers, and meeting rooms.
A significant portion of the inventory are regional facilities -
that are used by populations who reside inside and outside of Port
Orchard even though the maintenance and operation of these sites
has and is being financed by local agencies.
However, not all of these facilities are available for public
use or jointly scheduled - between the city, county, port, state,
HOAs, school districts with city, school, and league requirements.
An inter-local agreement needs to be resolved between all parties to
make effective use of the joint inventory under an equitable
allocation with all potential users. The agreement could possibly
share use, operation, maintenance, and development funds.

Appendix C: Opportunities
A valuable park, recreation, and open space system includes lands
that may not be suitable for built uses and developed recreational
facilities. These sites can typically provide unique preserves,
habitats, cultural, and historical associations.
A strategic approach may also include lands that are owned for
other purposes, but that under some conditions may be used for
park, recreation, and open space activities. Federal, state, county,
utility, school, land trusts, private homeowner associations, and
private commercial operators, for example, own or control a variety
of strategically important sites with many kinds of physical and
socially valuable parks, recreation, and open space characteristics.
The following inventory defines other possible public and privately
owned properties that could provide park, recreation, and open
space opportunities.
Environmental resources
In 1990, the Washington State legislature adopted the Growth
Management Act (GMA - Chapter 36.70A of the Revised Code of
Washington (RCW)). The GMA defined critical environmental areas
and resource lands to be lands or soils with characteristics that are
not suitable for urban development, and in some instances, to any
alteration without potential risk to the environment, ecology, public
safety or other issues.
GMA, and subsequent minimum guidelines published by the
Washington State Department of Community, Trade, & Economic
Development (WACTED), defined critical areas to include:
Wetlands,
Critical recharge zones for aquifers used for potable water,
Fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas,
Frequently flooded areas, and
Geologically hazardous areas.
In addition, GMA/WACTED guidelines identified resource lands that
were to be provided special consideration including productive
and/or unique:
Agricultural lands,
Forests, and
Mineral lands.
Critical area ordinances
GMA required local jurisdictions that were affected by rapid
population growth (including Port Orchard) to identify and adopt
regulations to protect such areas. In accordance with the act's
requirements, Kitsap County and subsequently the Port Orchard
Community Development Department completed comprehensive
inventories and analyses of critical areas in Port Orchard’s urban
growth area.
Subsequent city critical area ordinances and comprehensive plans
define and locate lands and soils that are subject to the
environmental hazards. Implementing critical area and zoning
ordinances further define the land use and design or development
performance standards that are appropriate to each type of risk
condition thereby protecting sensitive environments. Generally,
environmental protection measures conserve sensitive
environmental areas in conditions that are appropriate to the land
or soil's character.
For example, the protecting measures retain, enhance, and
sometimes expand wetland functions and flood plains. Likewise,
environmental protection measures conserve steep slopes in a
wooded natural state, particularly slopes with hazardous seismic
combinations of erodible soil, underlying bedrock, and subsurface
drainage features.
Open space potentials
Environmentally sensitive lands or critical areas are not capable or
suitable of being developed for urban and even some rural uses.
These properties remain in private ownership, however, even
Page 270 of 398
2 Port Orchard PROS Plan
Page 271 of 398
Port Orchard PROS Plan 3
Page 272 of 398
4 Port Orchard PROS Plan
though the critical environmental features are appropriately
conserved.
Most of these sites are privately owned - usually as productive
properties providing buffer, aesthetic, passive or other benefits to
the developed parcels. Private property owners may develop the
suitable lands that adjoin sensitive environmental features for
urban or other intensive land uses. As a consequence, although
these privately owned properties conserve permanent natural areas
as open space features, the lands are frequently not accessible for
public use.
Critical areas constitute private but significant open spaces, wildlife
habitats, conservation preserves, and scenic overlooks. These lands
can enhance and should be incorporated as integral, but passive
components of the land use pattern and public park system as
greenways, greenbelts, and urban separators.
Under some conditions, these private sites may be accessed with
trails, exhibits, picnic facilities, water trails, and other suitable and
more active park pursuits where the use benefits the property
owner and/or where public access agreements can be negotiated.
Other public facilities
Various public agencies own a considerable amount of facilities in
the city. These facilities may be available for public use if a park
and recreation activity does not interfere with the agency’s primary
use of the facility.

Conclusions
Strategically important sites – are owned or controlled by
nonprofit and private facility operators with most kinds of physical
and socially valuable parks, recreational, and open space
characteristics.
A valuable park, recreation, and open space system includes
lands that may not be suitable for built uses – and developed
recreational facilities, but which can provide unique preserves,
habitats, cultural, and historical associations. These combined
social and physical attributes provide a balanced dimension to the
park and recreation experience.
A quality park and recreation system does not have to be
implemented strictly by public monies or purchase – but by the
creative interplay of public and private market resources using a
variety of techniques including leases, easements, tax incentives,
design and development innovations, and enlightened private
property interests. Future parks, recreation, and open space
acquisition strategies may use traditional purchase options as well
as cost effective alternative.

Port Orchard PROS Plan 1
Appendix D: Land and facility demand
Park, recreation, and open space land and facility demands can be
estimated using population ratios, participation models, level-of-
service (LOS) measurements, and/or questionnaire survey
methodologies.
Ratios
The demand for park, recreation, and open space land can be
estimated using a ratio of a required facility to a standard unit of
population, such as 3.1 acres of athletic fields and playgrounds per
1,000 residents. The ratio method is relatively simple to compute
and can be compared with national or local park, recreation, and
open space measurements.
However, the method cannot account for unique age, social or
interest characteristics that may affect the park, recreation, and
open space activity patterns within a specific community. Nor can
the method compensate for unique climatic or environmental
features that may cause seasonal or geographical variations in park,
recreation, and open space use patterns.
The ratio method is frequently used to estimate land requirements.
However, a number of factors may significantly influence the
amount of land a community may wish to set-aside for park,
recreation, and open space purposes. Such factors may include the
presence of sensitive environments, scenic viewpoints, historical or
cultural assets, trailheads, and other features that may increase
land set-asides along a non-motorized transportation or trail
corridor.
The National Recreation & Park Association (NRPA) compiles data on
the amount of land and facilities that have developed over time by
major parks, recreation, and open space departments across the
country. Depending on the agency arrangements within the
participating cities, the ratios may or may not include the lands and
facilities that are provided by all public sponsors including city,
school, county, state, federal agencies, and private operators within
each measuring jurisdiction.
Note - the NRPA began publishing a comprehensive list of ratios in
1985 that have subsequently been updated and qualified to account
for local methodologies in the years since. NRPA’s most recent data
has been published in the 2019 NRPA Agency Performance Review.
The 2019 NRPA Agency Performance Review was collected from
1,075 unique park and recreation agencies across the US based on
reports between 2016 and 2018 and is published with medians
along with data responses at the lower-quartile (lowest 25%) and
upper-quartile (highest 25%). The NRPA Park Metrics (formerly
PRORAGIS) report compiles the survey data for type, size,
geography, and other agency characteristics.
The benchmarks used here are based on the NRPA Park Metrics
results for agencies serving populations of 15,000-25,000 and the
median responses to the 2019 NRPA Agency Performance Review
when Park Metrics data is not available.
Note - the ratios are based on parks properties and facilities
owned by cities and not on a composite ratio that may include
other public, nonprofit, and private or school district facilities
available for public use.
Participation models
Park, recreation, and open space facility requirements can also be
determined using variations of participation models – refined,
statistical variations of a questionnaire or survey method of
determining recreational behavior.
Participation models are usually compiled using activity diaries,
where a person or household records their participation in specific
recreational activities over a measurable period of time. The diary
results are compiled to create a statistical profile that can be used
to project the park, recreation, and open space behavior of
comparable persons, households or populations.
Page 278 of 398
2 Port Orchard PROS Plan
Participation models are most accurate when the participation
measurements are determined for a population and area that is
local and similar enough to the population that is to be projected by
the model. The most accurate participation models are usually
controlled for climatic region and age, and periodically updated to
measure changes in recreational behavior in activities or areas over
time.
Properly done, participation models can be very accurate predictors
of an area's facility requirements in terms that are specific and
measurable. However, though accurate, participation models can be
somewhat abstract, and if not combined with other methods of
gathering public opinion, can fail to determine qualitative issues of
an area's demands in addition to a facility's quantitative
requirements.
For example, an area might provide the exact facility quantities that
are required to meet the resident population’s park, recreation, and
open space demands, such as a mile of walking trail. However, the
facility might not be provided with the proper destination, in a
quality or safe corridor, or other important, but less measurable
aspect that makes the facility quantity effective and the activity a
pleasurable experience. The walking trail, for example, might be
located in an area of uninteresting scenery and/or in an
inaccessible location.
This planning effort utilizes the results of the Washington State
Recreation & Conservation Office (RCO) surveys for 6 age groups
(male and female) for the northeast region of the state (east of the
Cascade Mountains) that were accomplished in 2001, 2006, and
2012.
The estimates were developed for each activity demand for the
peak season periods that would most impact facility capacities and
thereby the level of service to local residents. The estimated
demands were converted into facility units based on assumed high
capacity and turnover rates common to most urban areas of the
state. The projected facility unit requirements were then converted
into a simple facility unit per 1,000 residents ratio to allow
comparison with similar ratios developed by the NRPA and found to
be the existing facility level-of-service (ELOS) for each activity.
Note - participation models can account for facility capacity ratios
that may be expressed through management policies or local
population preferences concerning volume of use or the degree of
crowding that is satisfactory. However, the model cannot account
for all Proposed variations in crowding or volume of use that may
vary over the length of a trail, season, or by a different user
population at the same time. Nor can the model account for
communities that may be impacted by tourist or regional users
from outside the modeling area.
Existing and Proposed level-of-service (ELOS/PLOS)
Facility requirements may also be determined by expressing the
supply of existing park, recreation, and open space land and
facilities as a ratio to the resident existing population (as a unit
ratio per 1,000 persons).
The existing level-of-service (ELOS) condition or ratio can define an
existing standard for each type of park, recreation, and open space
provided within the existing inventory. ELOS ratios can be
calculated for specialized types of activities for which there are no
comparable national or state definitions.
Ultimately, department staff with public assistance through
telephone or mailed or internet questionnaires can develop
Proposed level-of-service (PLOS) ratios for a specific type of facility
by determining the quantity that is considered to be surplus or
deficient in quantity or condition within the existing inventory.
For example, the existing supply of beach trails in a jurisdiction of
10,000 persons may be 20 miles, or an existing level-of-service
(ELOS) standard of 2.00 miles per 1,000 persons or population. The
public may determine, however, that under present conditions the
existing trails are overcrowded and located in areas that are of little
interest for beach walking purposes.
Ideally, the public would like to add 10 more miles to the existing
inventory in order to reduce crowding and provide access to more
Page 279 of 398
Port Orchard PROS Plan 3
interesting sites. The proposal would increase the overall supply to
30 miles and the Proposed level-of-service (PLOS) standard to 3.00
miles per 1,000 persons.
Note – this plan compares all 3 methodologies. However, the plan
considers the ELOS/PLOS comparison approach to be the most
accurate method of resolving final level-of-service requirements
since it can account for impacts of:
§ Out-of-area tourist and regional users,
§ Combined public and private facility inventories,
§ Unique environmental or market area dynamics, and
§ Other variables not proposed to quantify in a participation
model or ratio.
Land requirements
Total park lands
The RCO does not have a benchmark for park, recreation, and open
space land. According to National Recreation & Park Association
(NRPA) 2019 NRPA Agency Performance Review agencies serving
populations of 15,000-25,000 provided a median of 12.6 acres per
1,000 persons in the population that gradually declined as the
population increased up to 250,000.
NRPA RCO PO existing All total All proposed

* Proposed identifies 2040 requirements including additional land or
facilities that are recommended to be added and the level-of-service per
1,000 persons that will result from the addition and the projected
population increase over the next 20-year planning period. The level-of-
service ratio will decline due to additional population increase (9,651
persons in the city by 2040) if no additional land or facilities are
recommended.
** Ratio is expressed per 1,000 residents within Port Orchard (year 2020 city
population of 15,117) under Port Orchard and for all public and private
facilities under “All total” and “Recommended additional” standard.
By comparison, Port Orchard owns 89.7 acres of parkland or a ratio
of 5.93 city park acres per every 1,000 residents and the city,
county, port, school district, state, and HOAs own 2,419.9 acres or
160.07 acres per 1,000 city residents. However, even though
significant, the present allocation is not equally distributed among
residential neighborhoods with the UGA.
Select acquisitions of additional parkland to be described in
following pages, may provide another 224.6 city park acres equal to
a ratio of 106.8 of all park acres per 1,000 city residents by the year
2040.
The resulting standard should be sufficient to provide equal park
distribution for local needs and to conserve important regional
attributes in the city for the reasons listed in the following
descriptions considering the amount of land provided in or near the
city by other public agencies.
Resource conservancies
Open space preservation or resource conservancies are designed to
protect and manage a natural and/or cultural feature, environment
or facility - such as a wetland or unique habitat, a natural landmark
or a unique cultural setting. By definition, resource conservancies
are defined by areas of natural quality for nature-oriented outdoor
recreation, such as viewing and studying nature, wildlife habitat,
and conservation.
Open space preservations or resource conservancies should be
located to encompass diverse or unique natural resources, such as
lakes, streams, marshes, flora, fauna, and topography. Recreational
use may be a secondary, non-intrusive part of the property - such
as an interpretative trail, viewpoint, exhibit signage, picnic area or
other feature.
In practice, there aren’t minimum or maximum benchmarks
concerning conservancies - a site should provide whatever is
necessary to protect the resource.

Page 280 of 398
4 Port Orchard PROS Plan
Port Orchard presently provides 76.5 acres of open space and
resource conservancies or a ratio of 5.06 acres per 1,000 residents
and the city, county, state, port, and HOAs provide 1,398.5 acres or
a ratio of 92.51 acres per 1,0000 city residents.
The ratio includes portions of the city’s Bethel South Property,
Bravo Terrace Open Space, Lundberg Park, McCormick Village Park,
Mitchell Park, Old Clifton Wetlands, Paul Powers Junior Park, Seattle
Avenue Property, and Van Zee Parks as well as Bill Bloomquist
Rotary Park, Howe Farm County Park, Kitsap County Park, Long Lake
County Park, South Kitsap Regional Park, Veterans Memorial Park,
Square Lake State Park, numerous HOA open spaces, and South
Kitsap School District’s Cedar Heights Forest.
While the present supply (existing level-of-service (ELOS) standard)
does not need to be increased through purchase, the city’s critical
areas ordinance should continue to protect these important
resource conservancies and if necessary, acquire development
rights if portions of these private landholdings are in jeopardy of
development or in order to provide public access for Proposed
wildlife habitat and trail corridors.
Sites that merit consideration for acquisition if necessary to
conserve riparian habitat, wetlands, ponds, streams, and wooded
hillsides include 165.1 acres along Blackjack and Ross Creeks, Ross
Point Hillsides, Stormwater Park, Johnson Creek daylighting, and
Etta Turner Park expansion that will increase the conservancy lands
to 1,563.6 acres of all agencies or a ratio 63.1 acres per 1,000 city
residents by 2040.
Resource activities
Resource activities are defined by areas of natural or ornamental
quality for outdoor recreation such as picnicking, boating, fishing,
swimming, camping, and local parks trail uses. The site may also
include play areas, such as playgrounds and open grassy play fields
as long as these areas support the primary outdoor recreational
features. The site should be contiguous to or encompassing natural
resources including resource conservancies.
In practice, there aren’t minimum or maximum benchmarks
concerning conservancies - a site should provide whatever is
necessary to protect the resource.

or a ratio of 1.03 parks per 1,000 residents and the county, state,
port, and HOAs provide 551.1 acres or 35.46 acres per 1,000 city
residents.
The ratio includes portions of the city’s Bethel South Property,
Lundberg Park, McCormick Village Park, Paul Powers Junior Park,
and Van Zee Parks as well as Bill Bloomquist Rotary Park Howe Farm
County Park, Long Lake County Park, South Kitsap Regional Park,
Veterans Memorial Park, Square Lake State Park, and HOA Deer Park.
However, 16.0 acres should be acquired to conserve resource access
at Ruby Creek Regional Park and Mitchell Point that will increase the
ratio of resource parks to 22.9 acres per 1,000 city residents by
2040.
Linear trails
Linear trails are built or natural corridors, such as abandoned or
surplus railroad lines, undeveloped road-rights-of-way, and active
utility rights-of-way or natural areas defined by drainage features,
topographical changes, wooded areas or vegetation patterns that
can link schools, libraries, or commercial areas with parks.
Generally, linear trails may be developed for multiple modes of
recreational travel such as hiking, biking or horseback riding. The
trail system may parallel established vehicular or other
transportation systems, but apart from and usually within a
separate right-of-way. Linear trail corridors may also include active
play areas or trailhead development located in other types of
parkland.
Page 281 of 398
Port Orchard PROS Plan 5
Trail systems should be anchored by public facilities, like a school
or park that may serve as a destination or trailhead and extend into
the surrounding residential areas using natural features or
established roads, sidewalks, or other safe travel corridors.
Ideally, a minimum trail system should be at least 3-5 miles long
and provide the ability to loop back to the point of origin. The trail
should be sufficiently wide enough to provide for the type of trail
user(s) that it is accommodating, preserve the features through
which the trail is traveling, and buffer adjacent land use activities.
In practice, there aren’t benchmarks concerning linear trails. An
agency should provide as many miles as Proposed considering the
trail opportunities a city’s geography provides.

Port Orchard presently provides 1.5 dedicated acres of linear trail
corridor or a ratio of 0.10 acres per 1,000 residents consisting of
the Bay Street Pedestrian Path and McCormick Woods Trail and an
extensive system of trails in resource parks that are not counted as
separate acreages. No other agencies provide dedicated acreage for
off-road multipurpose trails.
Additional multipurpose trails will be added within the existing
rights-of-way of Bay Street, Old Clifton Road, SW Berry Lake Road,
Glenwood Road, Sedgwick Road, Sidney Road, SR-16, and Bay Street
to Kitsap Regional Park.
Port Orchard has considerable and sufficient trail acreage resources
were these trail segments as well as the park trails integrated to the
resource parks.
Nonetheless, the city should acquire 11.0 acres to continue to
expand and connect the Bay Street Pedestrian Path and East
Gateway systems with all remaining parks and schools within the
city to achieve a city trail ratio of 0.50 acres per 1,000 city
residents by 2040.
Playgrounds and athletic fields
Athletic fields and playgrounds are designed for intense
recreational activities like field and court games, playground
apparatus areas, picnicking, wading pools, and the like. A suitable
athletic field and playground site should be capable of sustaining
intense recreational development. The site should be easily
accessible to the using population and ideally should be linked to
the surrounding area by walking and biking trails and paths.
Typically, athletic fields and playgrounds may be included within
or jointly developed in association with an elementary, middle or
high school facility.
The desired service area for an athletic field or playground complex
depends on the competitive quality to which the facility is
developed and the resident using population that the site is
intended to serve. Regionally oriented athletic sites may include 4
or more competitive, high quality soccer, baseball or softball fields
serving organized leagues drawn from surrounding communities or
areas - which may include the approximate service area for a high
school.
Local (community or neighborhood) oriented athletic fields and
playgrounds may consist primarily of a playground and a grassy
play area, possibly including 1 or more practice or non-regulation
athletic fields. Local athletic fields and playgrounds serve residents
of an immediately surrounding residential area from a quarter to
half-mile radius - the service area for an elementary school.
In practice, there aren’t minimum or maximum benchmarks
concerning athletic fields and playgrounds. An agency should
provide sufficient playgrounds within a 0.5-mile walking distance
of most residents and athletic fields to accommodate most league
activities of local, younger age residents.

provide 278.8 acres or 18.44 acres per 1,000 city residents.
Athletic fields are generally distributed and available within the city
at the city’s Paul Powers Junior Park and Van Zee Park as well as Bill
Bloomquist Rotary Park, South Kitsap Regional Park, Veterans
Memorial Park, Deer Park, and junior/middle and high schools when
scheduled with the school district.
However, the existing picnic, playground, sports court, and field
sites are not evenly distributed within a 5 or 10-minute walk of all
residential neighborhoods. Consequently, 12.0 acres equal to 3
additional neighborhood parks should be acquired and developed
to improve the availability and capacity of neighborhood parks
within the city and UGA to realize a city playground and athletic
field ratio of 11.74 acres per 1,000 city residents by 2040.
Recreation centers/pools
Recreation centers and pools are indoor and outdoor facilities
providing swimming pools, physical conditioning, gymnasiums,
arts and crafts, classrooms, meeting rooms, kitchen facilities, and
other spaces to support public recreation programs for school-age
children (but not students), teens, senior, and other resident
populations on a full-time basis. For the purposes of this PROS Plan,
recreation centers and pools are defined to include all city, county,
school-owned, non-profit, and private facilities that are available
for public use.
The desired service area for a recreation center/pool depends on
the extent of the recreational program services to be offered in the
facility and the building's potential size and site relationships.
Community oriented recreation centers may include a variety of
competitive swimming pools, gymnasiums, or courts along with/or
in place of a series of public classroom and meeting facilities, a
teen and/or senior center and/or a daycare facility providing indoor
building space.
And/or a community-oriented recreation center may be jointly sited
with an athletic park or playground, or in association with a library,
civic center or other public meeting facility. Community oriented
recreation centers may be jointly shared with school districts or a
part of other city or county building complexes that serve a city or
larger surrounding community area.
Local recreation centers may consist primarily of a single facility
use - like a classroom or gymnasium complex and/or that may be
sited as a lone building oriented to a single user group - like a teen
or senior center. Local recreation centers serve residents of an
immediately surrounding residential area from a quarter to half-
mile radius - which is the approximate service area for an
elementary school.
In practice, there aren’t minimum or maximum benchmarks
concerning recreation and community center acreages. An agency
should provide sufficient land considering the availability of other
public, nonprofit, and private facilities within the local area.

The existing level-of-service would likely exceed recreation center
objectives were the inventory to include indoor space provided by
South Kitsap School District and some nonprofit and private
facilities. However, school facilities are not available for use during
school hours to meet the needs of seniors, parents, or pre-school
children and the private clubs do not provide facilities for low-
income participants.
The city proposes to jointly develop 0.5 acres for a Community
Events Center with the Kitsap Public Facility District (KPFD) that will
include a new library, extensive meeting and classroom facilities, a
small physical conditioning room, and administrative space in the
downtown that will provide a ratio of 0.19 acres by 2040.

Special use facilities
Special use facilities are single-purpose recreational activities like
arboreta, display gardens, nature centers, golf courses, marinas,
zoos, conservatories, arenas, outdoor theaters, and gun and archery
ranges. Special use facilities may include areas that preserve,
maintain, and interpret buildings, sites, and other objects of
historical or cultural significance, like museums, historical
landmarks, and structures. Special use areas may also include
public plazas or squares or commons in or near commercial centers
or public buildings.
There aren’t benchmarks concerning the development of special use
facilities - demand being defined by opportunity more than a ratio.
Nor are there minimum or maximum facility or site sizes - size
being a function of the facility rather than a separately established
design standard.

Off-leash dog parks are unique facilities reserved exclusively for
pet exercise, training, and social interaction. Generally, such
facilities cannot be shared with other park activities. Off-leash dog
trails may be shared with limited other trail activities if the volumes
are relatively low and the animals are well trained.
An additional dog park or off-leash area could be located in

Any additional equestrian facilities will depend on these and similar
organizations.
Support facilities
There are no RCO participation model standards with which to
project supporting administrative office, equipment and shop
maintenance yards, and plant nursery requirements. The NRPA does
not have a benchmark for park supporting facilities.

Port Orchard provides 1.82 acres yard at the Public Works
Maintenance Yard at Vivian Court and 3.77 acres at the South Shed
Facility at Sidney Avenue or 5,59 acres in total or 0.37 acres per
1,000 residents.
Port Orchard provides 1,000 square feet of office and 12,000 square
feet of park maintenance yard facilities or a ratio of 860 square feet
per 1,000 residents at City Hall and the Maintenance Yard.
The facilities are sufficient to meet present needs for existing park
facilities but could require additional space at these sites or
satellite facilities in existing or future parks.
Future growth implications
The Washington State Office of Financial Management (OFM) and the
Port Orchard Community Development Department expect the
population of the city within the urban growth area will increase
from 15,117 persons in 2020 to an estimated 24,768 persons by the
year 2040 – or by 9,651 or 64% more persons.
This forecasted population increase will create significant
requirements for all types of parks, recreation, and open space
lands and facilities in the city especially within the downtown area
scheduled for higher density development.
The population forecasts do not include expected increases in
regional tourists and users who also frequent city parks,
recreational facilities, trails, and open spaces.

Total cost $ 22,908,520
Under the existing level-of-service (ELOS) for Port Orchard owned
park land and facilities in the city, the forecasted population
increase will create a city-wide need for an additional 61.4 acres of
land and 15,661 facility units (square feet, courts, fields, etc.) by
the year 2040.
The continuation of the city's existing level-of-service (ELOS) could
require an expenditure of $22,908,520 by the year 2040 simply to
remain current with present standards - not accounting for any
maintenance, operation or repair costs.
The approximate cost of sustaining the city's existing level-of-
service (ELOS) standard would be equal to about $2,373 per every
new person added to the city's population or about $5,768 for every
new housing unit. This assumes Port Orchard would continue to

maintain the same ratio of parklands and facilities for the future
population that the city has in the past.

Under the composite agencies Proposed level-of-service (PLOS) for
all public and privately-owned park land and facilities in the city,
the forecasted population increase will create a city-wide proposal
for an additional 224.6 acres of land and 31,859 facility units
(square feet, courts, fields, etc.) by the year 2040. This assumes
these agencies would supplement the existing inventory as
described within this chapter rather than simply extending the
same ratios into the future.
The realization of the composite agencies Proposed level-of-service
(PLOS) for all agencies could require a total of $86,355,859 by the
year 2040 - not accounting for any maintenance, operation or repair
costs. Based on the project proposals described in the plan
chapters, Port Orchard’s parks, recreation, and open space share
of the cost would be $47,706,281 or 55%.
Built encroachments
However, if these proposals are not realized soon the present trend
of increasing developments may:
§ Encroach upon - or preclude the preservation and public
accessibility of the more sensitive and appealing environmental
sites, particularly those Proposed for cross city trail corridors and
additional sensitive land preservations along riparian corridors and
shorelines, and
§ Develop - or otherwise preclude the purchase and development
of suitable lands for playgrounds, picnic shelters, waterfront
access, and other neighborhood facilities.
Forcing city residents to:
§ Use crowded - picnic areas, playgrounds, community centers,
and hike and bike on crowded trails,
§ Commute to play - at overcrowded existing facilities in the city
and/or organized recreational programs may have to be reduced,
and
§ Commute to use - available facilities in other areas of the city,
particularly out of Port Orchard and/or to other jurisdictions parks
and/or programs may have to be curtailed to prevent severe
overcrowding conditions in the facilities that do provide such
services.
Such actions would be to the detriment of city residents who have
paid the costs of developing and operating these facilities.
Financial implications
These levels of facility investment may not be solely financed with
the resources available to Port Orchard if the city pursues an
independent delivery approach or uses traditional methods of
funding. Port Orchard will not be financially able to develop,
manage, and maintain a comprehensive, independent park,
recreation, and open space system using only traditional financing
methods in light of the needs projected.
These needs require a citywide financing approach by Port Orchard
and where appropriate in partnership with Port Orchard School
District, Pierce College Port Orchard, and Kitsap County, as well as
Proposed nonprofit or for-profit partners.
A citywide approach may use a combination of shared user fees,
excise taxes, joint grant applications, impact fees, and voter
approved property tax levies to maintain and improve facilities in
the face of continued city population increases.

Port Orchard PROS Plan 1
Appendix E: Finances
An analysis was accomplished of recent financial trends in Port
Orchard and the impact federal and state program mandates,
revenue sharing, and the city's urbanization have on the
discretionary monies available for park, recreation, and open space.
The analysis also reviewed trends in Port Orchard revenues and the
affect alternative revenue sources may have on financial prospects.
Revenue and expenditure trends - general
government
Port Orchard’s annual general governmental expenditures are
derived from the combination of general, special revenue, debt
service, and enterprise funds.
General fund
The General Fund is derived from property and sales taxes, licenses
and permits, intergovernmental revenues including state and
federal grants, service charges and fees, fines and forfeitures, and
other miscellaneous revenues. General funds are used to finance
most government operations including staff, equipment, capital
facility, and other requirements.
§ Property tax - under Washington State’s constitution cities may
levy a property tax rate not to exceed $3.60 per $1000 of the
assessed value of all taxable property within incorporation limits.
The total of all property taxes for all taxing authorities, however,
cannot exceed 1.0% of assessed valuation, or $10.00 per $1,000 of
value. If the taxes of all districts exceed the 1.0% or $10.00 amount,
each is proportionately reduced until the total is at or below the
1.0% limit.
In 2001, Washington State law was amended by Proposition 747, a
statutory provision limiting the growth of regular property taxes to
1.0% per year, after adjustments for new construction. Any
proposed increases over this amount are subject to a referendum
vote.
The statute was intended to control local governmental spending by
controlling the annual rate of growth of property taxes. In practice,
however, the statute can reduce the effective property tax yield to
an annual level far below a city's levy authorization, particularly
when property values are increasing rapidly.

2017 $1,532,610,083 1.7610 $2,699,058
2018*** $1,631,598,525 1.6683* $2,722,026
2019*** $1,833,047,023 1.5411** $2,851,983*
Source: 2019-2020 Revenue, 2019 Revenues Sources Hearing
* 2018 levy rate reduced due to Library District levy lid lift
** 2019 depending on outcome of final state utilities
*** Proposed rates
In 2019, for example, Port Orchard’s effective regular property tax
rate had declined to $1.5411 per $1,000 of assessed value as a
result of the 1% lid limit on annual revenue or about 43% of what
the city is authorized to assess.
§ Sales tax - is the city's largest single revenue source and may be
used for any legitimate city purpose. However, the city has no
direct control over the taxing policy of this source of revenue. The
sales tax is collected and distributed by the state and may fluctuate
with general economic and local business conditions.

§ Utility and other taxes – are collected from the charges
assessed on all city utilities including electric, telephone, garbage,
TC cable, natural gas, gambling, vehicle fees, admissions, leasehold
excise, and other taxes. The utility taxes are collected by the city
and may fluctuate depending on what infrastructure upgrades each
utility is paying to update utility systems and operations.

§ Licenses and permits – includes revenues generated from
business and occupational licenses and taxes, operating and
building permits. Generally, these fees are used to pay for the
inspections, processing, and other charges necessary to perform
supporting services.
§ Intergovernmental revenue – includes state and federal grants
or pass-through revenues, usually earmarked for specific programs,
as well as funds from Port Orchard to finance improvements the
city wishes to accomplish.
Intergovernmental revenue can be significant, depending on the
program, Port Orchard competitiveness, and the extent to which the
program is adequately funded at the state and federal levels. To
date, however, Port Orchard has not received any significant federal
or state grant for recreation, park, or open space acquisition or
development.
Given present economic conditions, Port Orchard should not
depend on grants as a viable or major source of financing for
facility acquisition and development over the short term.
§ Charges for services – includes revenue generated to pay for
garbage, landfill, utility, and other operating services provided by
the city or a city concession or licensee including the following
recreation and swimming pool programs.
§ Fines and forfeits – includes monies generated from business
fines, code violations, traffic fines, property forfeitures, and other
penalties.

Special revenues
Special revenues are derived from state and local option taxes
dedicated to specific expenditure purposes, such as the motor
vehicle tax, motor excise tax, real estate excise tax, motel and hotel
Page 300 of 398
Port Orchard PROS Plan 3
tax, public art, criminal justice, paths and trails, convention center,
and the like.
Some special revenues may be used to finance limited capital
facilities, such as roads or parks, where the local option allows –
such as the local real estate excise tax (REET) and/or under special
circumstances Motel/Hotel or Tourism Taxes or Stormwater Utility
Taxes where a project or program can be expensed as a direct
extension or beneficiary of these accounts.
Debt service funds
Debt service funds are derived from a dedicated portion of the
property tax or general fund proceeds to repay the sale of general
obligation (voted) and Councilmanic (non-voted) bonds. Both types
of bonds may be used to finance park facility improvements – but
not maintenance or operational costs.
§ Councilmanic (limited or non-voted) bonds - may be issued
without voter approval by the Council for any facility development
purpose. The total amount of all outstanding non-voted general
obligation debt may not exceed 1.5% of the assessed valuation of all
city property.
Limited general obligation bonds must be paid from general
governmental revenues. Therefore, debt service on these bonds
may reduce the amount of revenue available for current operating
expenditures and the financial flexibility the Council may need to
fund annual budget priorities. For this reason, Councilmanic bonds
are usually only used for the most pressing capital improvement
issues.

* Percent of the total estimated assessed valuation.
** Includes installment contracts and debt service funds.
General Obligation (GO), Utility, and Park/Open Space Bonds require 60%
voter validation where voter turnout equals at least 40% of the total
votes cast in the last general election.
§ Unlimited general obligation (GO) bonds - must be approved
by at least 60% of resident voters during an election that has a
turnout of at least 40% of those who voted in the last state general
election. The bond may be repaid from a special levy, which is not
governed by the 1.0% statutory limitation on the property tax
growth rate. Total indebtedness as a percent of the assessed
valuation that may be incurred by limited and unlimited general
obligation bonds together, however, may not exceed:
2.5% - provided that indebtedness in excess of 1.5% is for general
purposes,
5.0% - provided that indebtedness in excess of 2.5% is for utilities,
and
7.5% - provided that indebtedness in excess of 5.0% is for parks and
open space development.
Monies authorized by limited and unlimited types of bonds must be
spent within 3 years of authorization to avoid arbitrage
requirements unless invested at less than bond yield. In addition,
bonds may be used to construct but not maintain or operate
facilities. Facility maintenance and operation costs must be paid
from general governmental revenue or by voter authorization of
special annual or biannual operating levies or by user fees or
charges.
Enterprise funds
Enterprise funds are derived from the user fees and charges levied
for utility operations including water and sewer, storm drainage,
regional water, solid waste, and cemetery. The enterprise revenues
are used to pay operating costs, retire capital facility debt, and plan
future replacement and expansion projects. Enterprise funds may
Page 301 of 398
4 Port Orchard PROS Plan
be created for a park or recreation activity that has a revenue
source sufficient to finance all costs.
Capital improvements funding implications
Generally, the city has not appropriated very much of the annual
budget for capital improvements. The city has building and
infrastructure construction requirements, but given the declining
buying power of annual city budgets, not had the capital resources
available to initiate major construction projects from the general
funds or non-dedicated funds accounts.
The 1% statutory limit on local property tax yields combined with
the sporadic and undependable nature of federal and state grants
and revenue sharing prevents or discourages the city from making
long-term capital investments in infrastructure necessary to
support the city’s development.
The 1% statutory limit on the general fund levy in particular,
severely curtails the city's ability to operate and maintain park,
recreation, and open space facilities and services even if the city
only utilized unlimited general obligation bonds as a means of
providing capital financing.
Revenue prospects - general government
Port Orchard could use the following options to deal with future
capital needs:
User fees and charges
Port Orchard may elect to use an increasing array of special user
fees, charges, and special assessments to pay facility operating and
maintenance capital requirements. The user fee approach may be
difficult to impose on facilities that don't have readily identifiable
or chargeable users - like some passive park or trail systems. The
approach may be very responsive, however, for facilities and
services that have an identifiable user group receiving a direct
proportional benefit for the charge – like aquatic facilities.
Special legislation
Local government representatives can seek state enabling
legislation authorizing new or special revenue sources. Senate Bill
5972 (RCW 82.46) is an example of one possible legislative solution.
The 1982 bill gave city governments the option of adding an
additional 0.0025% increment to the real estate excise tax (REET) for
the sole purpose of financing local capital improvement projects
including parks, utilities and other infrastructure except
governmental buildings.
Like bonds, Senate Bill 5972 funds may not be used to finance
operation and maintenance requirements.
Unlimited general obligation bonds
Port Orchard may come to depend on voter referendums as a means
of financing a larger portion of the capital improvement program,
since unlimited obligation bonds are not paid from the property tax
subject to the 1.0% limitation.
Voter approved capital improvements may be more representative
of actual resident priorities than some other methods of validating
capital expenditures, and will at the least, ensure referendum
submittals provide widespread benefits. However, bond revenue
cannot be spent for maintenance and operational issues – and bond
referendums must be approved by a margin over 60% of the
registered voters who participated in the last election.
General levy rate referendums
Proposition 747, the statutory provision limiting the growth of
regular property taxes to 1.0% per year, can be waived by
referendum approval of a simple (50%) majority of Port Orchard’s
registered voters. Voters can be asked to approve a resetting of the
property tax levy rate that would adjust the amount of revenue the
city can generate.
The new total revenue that can be generated by a resetting of the
rate would be subject to the same 1.0% limitation, however, and the
total amount of revenue and the resulting property tax rate would
start to decline again in accordance with the Proposition.
Page 302 of 398
Port Orchard PROS Plan 5
However, the adjusted rate and revenue could finance specific
capital improvement projects – or programs that involve
construction, maintenance, and operations aspects that a majority
of the voters are willing to pay for under the adjusted rate.
The resetting of the rate can be permanent, subject to the
provisions of Proposition 747. Or temporary, where the rate is
adjusted until a specific amount of revenue has been generated to
finance a project or program – whereupon the rate reverts to the
original or a specified amount defined in the referendum.
Expenditures – PROS functions
Parks, recreation, and open space property development services
are provided by the Community Development Department while the
Public Works Department provides all maintenance requirements.

Ideally, Port Orchard should recover as much of its PROS planning
and operational costs as possible to avoid using General Fund
property taxes or other city discretionary monies or Port Orchard
will not have sufficient funds left with which to fund critical annual
and cyclical maintenance, repair, and replacement of existing
facilities, and acquisition and development of new parks lands and
facilities required to offset population growth and raise level of
service standards.
Revenues – PROS functions
Parks, recreation, and open space revenues may be provided by a

Funding implications
Port Orchard has acquired a quality park, recreation, and open
space inventory using land donations, grants, project development
mitigation, impact fees, and a healthy allocation of property and
sales tax derived general funds.
However, these sources will not continue to yield enough money
with which to initiate major facility development and/or with which
to accomplish major cyclical maintenance requirements.
In addition, in light of the 1.0% statutory limit on local property tax
yield's affect on discretionary funding in general, the city can no
longer depend entirely on traditional revenue sources as a means of
funding capital improvement projects.
Port Orchard must devise new financial strategies for the
development and maintenance of facilities if it is to meet the park,
recreation, and open space interests of city residents.
Revenue prospects – PROS public sources
The following options could be used to deal with future Port
Orchard PROS capital needs:
Washington State grants
Washington State, through the Resource Conservation Office (RCO -
formerly the Interagency for Outdoor Recreation (IAC)) funds and
administers a number of programs for parks and recreation, and
non-motorized transportation and trails purposes using special
state revenue programs.
§ Endangered Species Act (ESA) - a Department of Ecology
administered water quality program provides grants for up to 75%
of the cost of water quality/fish enhancement studies. Referendum
39 monies can be applied to park and open space developments
that propose to restore, construct or otherwise enhance fish
producing streams, ponds or other water bodies.
§ Washington Wildlife Recreation Program (WWRP) – provides
funds for the acquisition and development of conservation and
recreation lands. The Habitat Conservation Account of the WWRP
program provides funds to acquire critical habitat, natural areas,
and urban wildlife categories. The Outdoor Recreation Account of
the WWRP program provides funds for local parks, state parks,
trails, and water access categories.
§ Capital Projects Fund for Washington Heritage – initiated on a
trial basis in 1999, and since renewed, provides funds for the
restoration and renovation projects for historical sites and
buildings by local governments and nonprofit agencies. The
Heritage Resource Center (HRC) administers the program.
§ Boating Facilities Program – approved in 1964 under the state
Marine Recreation Land Act, the program earmarks motor vehicle
fuel taxes paid by watercraft for boating-related lands and facilities.
Program funds may be used for fresh or saltwater launch ramps,
transient moorage, and upland support facilities.
§ Aquatic Lands Enhancement Act (ALEA) - initiated on a trial
basis in 1985, and since renewed and expanded, uses revenues
obtained by the Washington Department of Natural Resources from
the lease of state owned tidal lands. The ALEA program is
administered by the RCO for the development of shoreline related
trail improvements and may be applied for up to 50% of the
proposal.
§ Washington State Public Works Commission - initiated a
program that may be used for watercraft sanitary pump-out
facilities.
§ Youth Athletic Facilities (YAF) – provides grants to cities,
counties, and qualified nonprofit organizations for the
improvement and maintenance of existing, and the development of
new athletic facilities. The Community Outdoor Athletic Fields
Advisory Council (COAFAC) of the RCO administers the program.
Page 304 of 398
Port Orchard PROS Plan 7
§ Non-Highway & Off-Road Vehicle Activities Program (NOVA) –
provides funding to develop and manage recreation opportunities
for users of off-road vehicles and non-highway roads. An allocation
(1%) from the state Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax (MVFT) and off-road
vehicle (ORV) permit fees fund the program. NOVA funds may be
used for the planning, acquisition, development, maintenance, and
operation of off-road vehicle and non-highway road recreation
opportunities.
§ Firearms and Archery Range Recreation Program (FARR) –
provides funds to acquire, develop, and renovate public and private
nonprofit firearm and archery training, practice, and recreation
facilities. The program is funded from a portion of the fees charged
for concealed weapons permits.
Federal grants
Federal monies are available for the construction of outdoor park
facilities from the National Park Service (NPS) Land and Water
Conservation Fund (LWCF). The Washington State Resource
Conservation Office (RCO) administers the grants.
§ NPS (National Park Service) grants - usually do not exceed
$150,000 per project and must be matched on an equal basis by the
local jurisdiction. The RCO assigns each project application a
priority on a competitive statewide basis according to each
jurisdiction's need, population benefit, natural resource
enhancements and a number of other factors.
In the past few years, project awards have been extremely
competitive as the federal government significantly reduced the
amount of federal monies available the NPS program. The state
increased contributions to the program over the last few years
using a variety of special funds, but the overall program could be
severely affected by pending federal deficit cutting legislation.
Applicants must submit a detailed comprehensive park, recreation,
and open space plan to be eligible for NPS funding. The
jurisdiction's plan must demonstrate facility need, and prove that
the jurisdiction's project proposal will adequately satisfy local
parks, recreation, and open space needs and interests.
Due to diminished funding, however, RCO grants have not been a
significant source of project monies for city or other local
jurisdictions in recent years.
§ TEA21 (Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century - can
be used to finance on and off-road non-motorized trail
enhancements along major and minor arterial collectors roads or
sometimes, within separate trail corridors. The program was
adopted in 1993 and is administered by the Regional
Transportation Organization on behalf of the US Department of
Transportation.
Applicants must demonstrate the proposed trail improvements will
increase access to non-motorized recreational and commuter
transportation alternatives.
§ National Recreational Trails Program (NRTP) – is the successor
to the National Recreational Trails Act (NRFTA). Funds may be used
to rehabilitate and maintain recreational trails that provide a
backcountry experience. In some cases, the funds may be used to
create new “linking” trails, trail relocations, and educational
programs.
§ Boating Infrastructure Grant Program (BIG) – supports
development and renovation of areas for non-trailer-able
recreational boats over 26 feet, and related support elements on US
navigable waters. Funds may be used to produce and distribute
information and educational materials. The federal program
compliments the state-funded Boating Facilities Program (BFP)
administered for smaller vessels.
Environmental impact mitigation – subdivision regulations
Port Orchard subdivision policies can require developers of
subdivisions on the city to provide suitably designed and located
open spaces, woodland preserves, trail systems, tot lots,
playgrounds, and other park or recreational facilities. Such facilities
Page 305 of 398
8 Port Orchard PROS Plan
may include major components of the park or recreational system
that may be affected by the project's location or development.
Port Orchard may also consider requiring developers provide
acceptable long-term methods of managing and financing
maintenance requirements. Attractive management systems could
include:
§ Ownership by a private organization - like a tennis, swimming
or golf club, who assumes responsibility for all maintenance
responsibilities and costs,
§ Ownership by a homeowners or common property owners
association - who may contract maintenance responsibilities and
assess property owner's annual costs, or
§ Dedication of property - to Port Orchard or the Port Orchard
School District who assumes maintenance responsibilities using
local city or school funds.
Port Orchard should not accept title and maintenance responsibility
unless the land or facility will be a legitimate park or recreation or
open space element that may be supported using public financing.
Port Orchard may be contracted by any of the other agencies to
provide or oversee a maintenance contract on the owner's behalf
provided all Port Orchard costs are reimbursed by an approved
method of local financing.
Growth impact fees
Port Orchard adopted a park growth impact fee in accordance with
the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA). A park impact
fee applies to all proposed residential, commercial, and industrial
developments in the city as a means of maintaining existing park,
recreation, and open space levels-of-service (ELOS).
The ordinance estimates the impact each development project has
on park, recreation, and open space facilities within the project's
local service zone and makes provisions for setting aside the
resources, including lands or monies, necessary to offset the
project's local or neighborhood and community or regional facility
impacts.
The dollar value of the project's park, recreation, and open space
impact can be offset by the project developer of an amount equal to
the combined facility acquisition and development costs that Port
Orchard would incur to maintain the same existing level-of-service
(ELOS).
A developer may be allowed to choose any combination of land or
cash mitigation measures including credit for any park or recreation
facilities to be included within the project development. The Port
Orchard ordinance considers the following when determining the
types of mitigation measures or development credits to be made
available to the developer:
§ Will the facility - be available to the public,
§ Have a designated owner - responsible for continuing
operation and maintenance (the owner may be a common property
owner's association, school district or other agency), and
§ Correspond to and not exceed or vary from - the types of
park, recreation, and open space facilities that are being impacted
(a developer could provide but should not able to take full credit
value for facilities for which there is no shortage, impact or local
interest).
Land contributions can be accepted in lieu of monies if the lands
will be suitable sites for future facilities. Land and monies
accumulated under the proposed ordinance must be invested within
a reasonable time of impact assessment or be returned to the
contributing developer.
Port Orchard conducts periodic program reviews with residents,
user groups, school district, and other agencies to decide the most
efficient and representative way of delivering the facilities
mitigated by the ordinance. Alternative delivery methods include:
§ Acquisition of suitable sites - in conjunction with other public
or school facilities including title transfer if other public or school
agencies enter into special agreements assuming development,
operation, and maintenance responsibilities and costs,
Page 306 of 398
Port Orchard PROS Plan 9
§ Development of facilities - on other public or school sites if
other public or school agencies enter into agreements assuming
future operation and maintenance responsibilities and costs, or
§ Any other alternative - including development, operation or
maintenance proposals by user groups or private concessionaires or
developers that provide a viable facility in accordance with the
park, recreation, and open space strategies outlined.
Facility user fees and charges
Port Orchard could charge an array of special user fees, charges,
and special assessments to pay facility operating and maintenance
capital requirements. Proposals to recover recreation program costs
could be augmented with additional or higher user fees on picnic
shelters, athletic courts and fields, meeting rooms, and other
facilities.
Port Orchard could also increase the number of activities subject to
user fees and charges and use the proceeds to purchase land,
develop, operate, and maintain facilities where all costs are
reimbursed by the revenue obtained. Essentially, Port Orchard
would become a facility developer/operator providing whatever
facilities or services the market will support from user revenue.
User fees have and could be used to provide facilities for park and
recreation activities whose profit margins are too low to sustain
commercial operations or whose benefiting user group may extend
beyond city boundaries. Possible user fee financed facilities could
continue to include recreational vehicle parks and tent
campgrounds, and any other facility where demand is sizable
enough to warrant a user fee financing approach.
In essence, the market determines which facility's revenues equal
costs, and thereby, which programs Port Orchard would provide on
a direct costs/benefit basis. While important, this source of finance
will likely never pay full costs for all programs, or any operation,
maintenance, or development costs.
Some programs designed for youth and family activities, may never
generate fees large enough to finance full costs and will require Port
Orchard to determine to what extent the public benefits merit the
subsidized fee revenues.
The user fee approach may also be difficult to impose on facilities
that don't have readily identifiable or chargeable users - like some
passive park or trail systems. The approach may be very
responsive, however, for facilities and services that have an
identifiable user group receiving a direct proportional benefit for
the charge.
Special legislation – Real Estate Excise Tax (REET)
Local government representatives can seek state enabling
legislation authorizing new or special revenue sources. Senate Bill
5972 (RCW 82.46) is an example of one possible legislative solution.
RCW 82.46 authorizes local governments to enact up to 0.25% of the
annual sales for real estate for capital facilities. The Growth
Management Act authorizes another or 2nd 0.25% for capital
facilities. Revenues must be used solely for financing new capital
facilities, or maintenance and operations at existing facilities, as
specified in the capital facilities plan.
An additional option 3rd REET is available under RCW 82.46.070 for
the acquisition and maintenance of conservation areas if approved
by a majority of the voters of a county.
The first and second REET may be used for the following capital
facilities:
§ The planning, acquisition, construction, reconstruction, repair,
replacement, rehabilitation, or improvement of streets, roads,
highways, sidewalks, street and road lighting systems, traffic
signals, bridges, domestic water systems, and storm and
sanitary sewer systems, or
§ The planning, construction, repair, rehabilitation, or
improvement of parks and recreational facilities.
In addition, the second REET may be used for the following:
§ The acquisition of parks and recreational facilities, or
§ The planning, acquisition, construction, repair, replacement,
rehabilitation, or improvement of law enforcement facilities,
Page 307 of 398
10 Port Orchard PROS Plan
and the protection of facilities, trails, libraries, administrative
and judicial facilities, and river and/or floodway/flood control
projects and housing projects subject to certain limitations.
Like bonds, REET funds may not be used to finance operation and
maintenance requirements.
Unlimited general obligation (GO) bonds
Port Orchard may use voter referendums as a means of financing a
larger portion of the capital improvement program, since unlimited
obligation bonds are not paid from the property tax subject to the
1.0% limitation.
Voter approved capital improvements may be more representative
of actual resident priorities than some other methods of validating
capital expenditures, and will at the least, ensure referendum
submittals provide widespread benefits.
However, bond revenue cannot be spent for maintenance and
operational issues – and bond referendums must be approved by a
margin over 60% of at least a turnout of 40% of the registered voters
who participated in the last election.
General levy lid lift referendums
Proposition 747, the statutory provision limiting the growth of
regular property taxes to 1.0% per year, can be waived by
referendum approval of a simple (50%) majority of Port Orchard’s
registered voters. Voters can be asked to approve a resetting of the
property tax levy rate or of approving a special purpose limited
duration (typically 6-9 years) dedicated property tax levy that would
adjust the amount of revenue Port Orchard can generate.
The new total revenue that can be generated by a resetting of the
rate or of approving a special dedicated and limited duration levy
would be subject to the same 1.0% limitation, however, and the total
amount of revenue and the resulting property tax rate would start
to decline again in accordance with the Proposition.
However, the adjusted rate and revenue could finance specific
capital improvement projects – or programs that involve
construction, maintenance, and operations aspects that a majority
of the voters are willing to pay for under the adjusted rate or a
specially approved levy.
The resetting of the rate can be permanent, subject to the
provisions of Proposition 747, or temporary, where the rate is
adjusted until a specific amount of revenue has been generated to
finance a project or program – whereupon the rate reverts to the
original or a specified amount defined in the referendum.
Metropolitan park district (MPD) (SB 2557)
In 2002, the state legislature authorized the establishment of
metropolitan park districts (MPD) as special units of government
that may be wholly independent of any involvement with a city,
county, or any other local public agency or jurisdiction.
Metropolitan park districts may provide recreational facilities that
are specific to the district’s boundaries in return for the district
residents’ agreement to pay the special development, operation,
and maintenance costs utilizing special financing devices.
Metropolitan park districts must be initiated by local government
resolution or citizen petition following hearings on feasibility and
costs studies of the proposed district’s facility development or
operation costs.
The proposal must ultimately be submitted for voter approval (50%)
including all provisions relating to any special financing
agreements. The voters must initially approve the formation of the
district, and may designate existing elected officials, or a body
appointed by existing elected officials or elect district
commissioners or officers solely responsible for park and
recreation policy.
Voters must also approve the establishment of a continuous levy
as a junior taxing district – compared with 3 year levies under a
recreation service district to provide maintenance, repair,
operating costs, and facility acquisition and development projects.
Metropolitan park districts can be flexible and used to provide local
Page 308 of 398
Port Orchard PROS Plan 11
or citywide recreational facilities in the same variety of custom
service choices with the exception that the financing levy may be as
a junior taxing district with a continuous levy.
The Tacoma Metropolitan Park District was established in 1909 and
is the largest and oldest recreation park district in the State of
Washington. Seattle was the most recent and authorized the City
Council to perform as the Metropolitan Park District
Commissioners.
Revenue prospects – PROS private
Special use agreements
Special property agreements can often be used instead of property
purchases to secure public use rights for land or property at no cost
or a nominal fee, particularly where the possible public use is of
benefit to the private landowner. Some forms of special use
agreements can provide favorable tax benefits if the use agreement
can be shown to have an assigned value.
Port Orchard could expand the use agreement concept to include
complete development, operation or maintenance responsibilities.
Package lease agreements will usually provide more effectively
maintained facilities than possible where Port Orchard must staff
specialized, small work crews.
Sometimes package lease agreements covering use and maintenance
aspects may be the only way of resolving an equitable agreement
with the private ownership. This may include trails on utility
corridors where the ownership may prefer to control development
and maintenance activities, and Port Orchard may prefer to avoid
any implied responsibility or liability for the utility worthiness that
Port Orchard's maintenance of a trail system could imply.
Public/private service contracts
Private market skills and capital may be employed in a variety of
ways including the use of public/private services contracts where a
private party can be contracted to operate and maintain a facility
for a fixed fee cost. Service contracts can be very efficient where
the activities are small, scattered in location, seasonal, expert or
experimental. Service contracts are also relatively easy to initiate or
terminate if area demand fails to provide sufficient use or revenue
to justify continued operation.
Service contracts may be very flexible and can include agreements
with the county, school district or local user groups who can or
would be interested in sustaining the activity on a subsidized or
sweat-equity basis in exchange for the facility.
Public/private concessions
Port Orchard could lease a portion of a site or facility to a private
party in exchange for a fixed fee or a percentage of gross receipts.
The private operator assumes operation and maintenance
responsibilities and costs in exchange for a profit. For certain types
of facilities, such as enterprise fund account facilities like a golf
course, campground, marina, indoor tennis courts, or community
center Port Orchard's portion of the profits may be used to pay
facility development and/or operation and maintenance costs at the
same or for similar facility developments.
Port Orchard may save considerable monies on concessions where
the activities are specialized, seasonal, experimental or unproven.
Concessions can be easily initiated, provide direct user benefit/cost
reimbursements and relieve Port Orchard of a capital risk should
market or user interest fail to materialize to a least break-even
levels.
Concessionaires could operate a wide variety of park and
recreational facilities including boating and bicycle rentals, special
group and recreational vehicle campgrounds, athletic field and
court facilities, and swimming pools and beaches, among others.
Public/private joint development ventures
Port Orchard can enter into an agreement with a private or public
developer to jointly own or lease land for an extended period of
time. The purpose of the venture would be to allow the
development, operation, and maintenance of a major recreational
facility or activity in exchange for a fixed lease cost or a percentage
of gross receipts.
Page 309 of 398
12 Port Orchard PROS Plan
The developer assumes development, operation, and maintenance
responsibilities, costs, and all market risks in exchange for a market
opportunity providing a profitable return not otherwise available.
Port Orchard realizes the development of a facility not realized
otherwise in exchange for a low minimum capital return and no or
very little capital risk.
Joint development agreements represent an ultimate benefit/cost
resolution that may also provide public revenue that Port Orchard
could use for other development opportunities. Examples include
the possible joint development on Port Orchard lands of
recreational vehicle campgrounds, seminar retreats, special resorts,
swimming pools and water parks, golf courses, and gun and archery
ranges, among others.
Self-help land leases
There are instances where an activity is so specialized in appeal or
of a service area so broad in scope that it cannot be equitably
financed using general public funds. Specialized user groups
should be provided options for developing or maintaining facilities
in ways that account for equitable public cost reimbursements.
Examples include the use of land leases where Port Orchard may
lease land at low or no cost where a user group or club assumes
responsibility for the development, operation, and maintenance of
the facility. The club could provide volunteer help or use club
finances to develop, operate and maintain the facility as a means of
meeting user benefit/cost objectives.
Land lease agreements could accommodate organized athletics like
soccer, baseball, football, softball and rugby; or very specialized
facilities like shooting ranges, archery fields, OHV trails, and ultra-
light aircraft parks, among others.
Self-help contract agreements
Port Orchard can purchase land, develop, operate, and maintain a
specialized facility under a negotiated contract agreement where a
special interest group agrees to defray all costs in addition to or in
lieu of a user fee as a means of meeting user benefit/cost
objectives. The agreements can be quite flexible and could contract
the city, school district, the user group, another public agency or a
private operator to be developer/operator.
Contract agreements could accommodate a range of more expensive
special purpose facility developments including high quality
athletic competition facilities for league organizations; and
specialized facility developments like shooting ranges and OHV
trail systems, or historical or children’s museums, or railroad train
excursions when and where the user organization can provide
financial commitments.
PROS funding strategies
Using the strategies described above, PROS funding sources should
generally be matched to specific needs to avoid duplication and
take advantage of each fund's specific possibilities. For example:
Program services
Fees and charges should be used to finance program services to the
maximum extent possible and practical to provide cost/benefit
equities and efficiencies. Property tax levy funds should be used to
cover shortages where fees cannot be readily collected, as in most
special events, or where fees may not be easily raised to cover all
operating costs for programs Port Orchard deems to have special
social benefits to the public.
Facility operation, maintenance, and minor construction
Property tax levy funds should be used to pay operation and
maintenance costs for facilities and activities that cannot be
financed with fees and charges or financed with other funding
methods. Property tax levy funds are flexible and can be adjusted to
meet annual programming variations or priorities.
Where appropriate, maintenance and operation funds for facilities
that are impacted by urban growth should be reimbursed or
provided by Port Orchard and the Port Orchard School District
subject to the pending resolution of an inter-local agreement on
planning and services.

Port Orchard PROS Plan 13
The funds collected from the excise tax on real estate sales (REET)
should be used to finance minor construction improvements to
existing properties. The money should also be used to help
purchase sites when opportunities arise that cannot await other,
less flexible funding methods. Like property tax levy funds, the
monies collected from REET are flexible and can be adjusted to
meet annual programming needs or sudden changes in priorities or
opportunities.
Recreational facility development
Recreational facilities, athletic fields in particular, are important to
Port Orchard's programs but satisfy relatively small proportions of
the population compared with parks and trails.
Bonds, levies, and other fixed forms of financing should be used to
pay for the development of parks, trails, and other facilities that
residents assign high priorities. Recreational facilities with low to
moderate priorities should be financed with property tax levy
funds, REET, and other more flexible sources of financing.
Port Orchard should investigate the possibility of implementing a
wide range of joint recreational facility developments with the Port
Orchard School District. Such ventures could finance acquisition
and development costs using open space and school facility
development bonds, or conservation futures and REET - and Port
Orchard could finance operating and maintenance using service
charges and property tax levy funds.
Joint venture agreements could better match costs/benefits with
users, avoid duplication, save cost, increase service, and allow each
agency to make the best use of funds.
Parks, natural areas and trail development
Parks and trails benefit the largest percentage of the population and
will probably be easier to obtain voted bond or property tax levy
issues for than other more specialized uses. General obligation
bond or special property tax levy packages could finance the high
priority conservancies and trail acquisition and development
proposals contained within the development plan chapter of this
document.
When necessary and appropriate, Councilmanic bonds could be
used to purchase sites when opportunities require fast action, or to
match possible Washington State RCO state or federal grants for
park and trail developments.
Special developments
Some proposed projects represent unique facilities that may not be
easily financed with conventional funding methods. Port Orchard
should explore the opportunities that may be available for the
development and funding of joint public/private facilities with
private property owners or developers.
Joint ventures could save costs, reduce program requirements and
provide city residents services and facilities not available
otherwise.
Growth impact fee mitigation
Continued residential developments within Port Orchard's service
area will severely stress existing Port Orchard facilities and
services. Consequently, Port Orchard should institute growth
impact fee mitigation measures in accordance with the Washington
Growth Management Act to preserve unique sites and require land
developers to help finance facility developments offsetting project
impacts.
Financial strategies 2022-2028
A Port Orchard financial strategy for the next 6-year period (2021-
2027) must generate sufficient revenue to provide recreational
program services, maintain and renovate facilities, and implement
priority projects chosen from the 20-year (CFP) capital facility
program.
Three alternative financial strategies illustrate the choices available
Port Orchard under an integrated funding strategy. The strategies
combine possible scenarios concerning general funds from property
taxes, recreation program cost recovery, parks growth impact fees,
REET, and approval of a bond or property tax levy lid lift.

14 Port Orchard PROS Plan
The forecasts are conservative, based on the average trends
indicated in capital facility program fund expenditures by Port
Orchard during the 2021-2022 budgeted year but are adjusted to
account for expected inflationary increases in the tax and revenue
base valuations over the 6-year period.
All alternatives would finance $25,460,340 in combined park
administration, recreation programs, maintenance, deferred repairs
and replacements, and proposed level-of-service (PLOS) facility
improvements over the 6-year period with:
Proposed 6-yr expenditures

Property tax levy 13,793,392
Total $ 32,159,379
Annual cost for tax levy
Per median $292,200 value $ 61.08
§ Alternative 1 would generate revenues as follows:
§ General Funds property tax – assuming that the annual
revenue per year as a result of proposition 747 or the 1% tax
limitation would remain relatively constant,
§ Recreation program cost recovery – would recover an average
25% over all Community Center and other programs costs,
§ Port Orchard park impact fee – would be increased to capture
25% of $2,373 cost per person of maintaining Port Orchard’s
existing level-of-service (ELOS) standards through additional
population increases equal to $5,766 per dwelling unit where the
typical unit averages 2.43 residents (the city currently collects
$324/person),
§ Port Orchard Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) – which captures
REET 1 and 2 of $0.00125 per $1.00 of sales value for each REET
would continue to be utilized 50% for park and recreation purposes,
§ Supplemental special purpose (limited duration) or property
tax levy lid lift – would be sought to finance remaining costs
necessary to realize combined administration, recreation programs,
swimming pool operations, park maintenance, deferred repair and
replacement costs, and new land acquisitions and facility
developments necessary to realize Port Orchard’s portion of the
combined proposed level-of-service (PLOS) standard equal to an
annual property tax levy assessment of $61.08 per year for 6
years for a median house value of $292,200.

value of $292,200.
Financial strategies 2022-2042
An Port Orchard financial strategy for the next 20-year period
(2020-2040) must generate sufficient revenue to provide
administration, recreation programs, park maintenance, renovate
facilities, and implement priority projects chosen from the 20-year
(CFP) capital facility program.
The same 3 alternative financial strategies defined under the 6-year
or 2022-2028 strategy illustrate the choices available Port Orchard
under an integrated funding strategy. The 20-year strategies
combine the same possible scenarios concerning recreation
program cost recovery, growth impact fees, REET, and approval of a
property tax levy lid lift.
Total expenditures for the 20-year or 2021-2041 time periods would
be $114,976,624 of the proposed level-of-service (PLOS). Revenue
totals under the 3 alternatives would also be $114,976,624
assuming:
All alternatives would finance $97,721,723 in combined park
administration, recreation programs, park maintenance, park
deferred repairs and replacements, and Port Orchard’s share of
proposed composite level-of-service (PLOS) facility improvements
over the 20-year period with:

Implications
Alternatives 1-3 are all feasible for a 6 and 20-year Port Orchard
financial strategy to realize the combined administration,
programs, maintenance, repair and replacement (R&R), and
proposed level of service (PLOS) projects outlined in this plan.
A choice between the alternatives depends on how City Council
would prefer to balance allocations between the General Fund,
recreation cost recovery, park impact fees, REET 1&2, and a
property tax levy lid lift or levy.

1 Safe area's to take a walk, and to get people out of the house 8/13/2020 8:14 AM
2 I support ADA access everywhere. Some of these areas seem fairly accessible already, or
have recently had upgrades. In the parks I've visited, there does still seem to be an ADA
challenge getting to picnic areas.
8/10/2020 2:07 PM
3 This needs to include PICKLEBALL COURTS 8/9/2020 8:31 PM
4 There are very few decent walking and biking trails here. It would promote good health and
safety to have more protected walking and biking paths.
8/4/2020 7:22 PM
5 We have some very sad looking dog parks.8/4/2020 11:21 AM
6 Focusing on natural (or close to natural) recreational amenities is more beneficial for the city
on the long run, both in aesthetics and for public health.
8/3/2020 10:17 PM
7 Some areas are not feasible for ADA access 8/3/2020 4:00 PM
8 I think having more places that are wheel chair accessible would be a great addition to this
community. Maybe some picnic tables that are designed for handicap people in wheel chairs
like a table with out seats so they can fit their wheel chair underneath!
8/3/2020 1:13 PM
9 Trails should have a paved path for wheelchair access.8/1/2020 6:42 PM
10 We are elderly. When we were younger, priorities would be different.8/1/2020 12:45 PM
11 Our waterfront walk is an invaluable resource. How many towns can boast the length of ours?
Can we make it longer?
7/30/2020 7:48 PM
12 We need more artificial athletic turf fields 7/29/2020 8:34 PM
13 As a person with M.S. I appreciate the accessibility and ease of use of the parks.7/29/2020 6:48 AM
14 I would really like to see an inclusive park similar to Thunder Junction All Abilities Park
(Tonaquint Park) in St. George UT
7/28/2020 7:06 PM
15 There should be Pickleball courts added.7/28/2020 6:15 PM

16 We need Pickleball courts as well 7/28/2020 6:04 PM
17 Bicycling is very popular in the local area. From BMX Racing at Peninsula Indoor BMX to
riding at the skate park to taking advantage of the many mountain bike trails in the area. With
the removal (mostly) of the trails and jump lines at the west end of SK Regional Park, I know
that a paved Velo Solutions Pump Track would be a very welcome and popular addition to the
area. You should go online and checkout the one in Leavenworth or Redmond Oregon.
7/27/2020 8:42 PM
18 ADA accommodations in family use areas should have precedence to increase opportunity for
the whole community.
7/27/2020 7:16 PM
19 lots of parking as well 7/27/2020 3:18 PM
20 The reason why these are lowest to average is because I don't think the City does a very good
job of taking care of the facilities they currently have. To add more upgrades would just
become more of a burden.
7/17/2020 9:13 PM
21 There are already a lot of places to play soccer because they use the fields in the SKSD, and I
don't see a lot pf use at the tennis courts.
7/13/2020 5:02 PM
22 Port Orchard could really benefit from a boat house, I know the Library wants to check out
kayaks, others could use a boat house as well.
7/4/2020 7:06 PM
23 Whatever is allowable by law nothing more nothing less 7/3/2020 6:47 AM
24 Need places for teens to hang out.7/2/2020 6:28 AM
25 Access to areas around the Givens Area for Handicap Persons is not there.7/2/2020 6:13 AM
26 Finish the Pedestrian/Bike Path as a top prioriety. A lot of people can exercise and get into the
outdoors that way.
7/1/2020 7:33 PM
27 ADA access is not feasible in all situations.6/26/2020 9:58 AM

8/9/2020 8:31 PM
4 Some areas are not feasible for ADA access 8/3/2020 4:00 PM
5 All are important for inclusion of people who need ADA access, but I think if there are only a
few to choose, that you should pick the areas that serve the most people in the community the
most often. A theatre is going to serve more people more frequently compared to a space that
is for rent that is not currently serving anyone.

Manette Park (open in 2018) and the Pickleball activity on the court. Today (8/3/2020) we had
29 in attendance. Sixteen can be playing at one time on the four courts. Social Distancing with
Mask wearing when not playing. I know 6 players were from Port Orchard.

#RESPONSES DATE
1 I would like to see the downtown waterfront continue to be re-claimed for public parks/use.
Less dumpsters and car lots, more like a waterfront park. It is in process, but that's my priority.
That and Banner Forrest are close to my heart!
8/22/2020 7:35 PM
2 Pullup bars and fitness stations would be nice 8/16/2020 1:11 PM
3 Do not use the open space for the homeless. Have more of a say and do not let Bremerton
take over the city of Port Orchard. Fix the wooden walk way with the nails coming up before
someone get hurt.
8/13/2020 8:14 AM
4 a facility to host sporting events/tournaments would bring money into the town- visiting our
restaurants etc.
8/11/2020 10:43 PM
5 We need parking garages in downtown Port orchard!!8/10/2020 12:49 PM
6 There is a huge need especially in the winter for an indoor space for PICKLEBALL players. It
can be a multiuse space which is shared with basketball. All is needed is a hard floor, a
portable net and lines painted. There are currently no PUBLIC outdoor pickleball courts in Port
Orchard or S. Kitsap. Tennis courts can easily be multiuse spaces for pickleball. Contact the
YMCA for more information on indoor multi-court use, and Gig Harbor parks for their outdoor
multi-court use.
8/9/2020 8:31 PM
7 Love the changes that have been made and the plans you have put out there for the future.
Would love to see a YMCA in South Kitsap!
8/6/2020 9:43 PM
8 My purpose in taking this survey, was to make a point about lack of parking to support already
established facilities. I do not think Port Orchard should end up like Poulsbo. Parking is filled
to the max. Currently there is not sufficient parking to support the boat ramp. There is "illegal"
parking at the old Lighthouse Restaurant. Of course, that is going away. And the proposal for
that property, indicates there will be one sport to support the Coffee Shop on the main floor of
the condos. In closing, you can have all these wonderful activities, but if people have no
parking, the activities will not be used.
8/6/2020 2:11 PM
9 Keep waterfront very accessible to community. I came from the Seattle Green Lake area and
having a lake with a path around it is of great value. I was unaware of Square Lake until this
survey. It looks like a diamond in the rough for future generations. I feel Port Orchard has great
future potential!
8/6/2020 10:26 AM
10 Please develop more indoor and outdoor pickleball courts! This is a sport that is played by all
age groups and there are barely any courts available.
8/6/2020 9:56 AM
11 I enjoy the walking/hiking trails but would like to see more bike trails/lanes 8/5/2020 4:03 PM
12 Port Orch. need pickleball courts for indoor & outdoor use. Also public swimming pool.I spend
most of my time & money at facilities in Bremerton & Gig Harbor. I pay to play pickleball at
Recreation Center on Lebo Dr, 3-4 days per week, $3 per day & monthly fee at YMCA. That
money should be spent in my neighborhood.
8/4/2020 7:57 PM
13 I would love to see more safe walking and biking paths. I recently tried to walk around town
with my neice in a stroller and I became quite educated about the lack of sidewalks on large
sections of Bethel and Mitchell and elsewhere. I really like the walking path along the
waterfront. In towns like Pullman and Richland (where I've previously lived) there were more
walking options to travel around town and it was much easier to walk and bike safely with
children.
8/4/2020 7:22 PM
14 Add outdoor and indoor pickleball courts 8/4/2020 5:51 PM

15 yes I do. Are there specific meetings one might attend for park info and where we go in the
future. Is that at City council meetings or...... I go to dog parks. Our parks a sad.
8/4/2020 11:21 AM
16 Not at this time.8/4/2020 10:59 AM
17 Make the parks equitable regardless of the area of the park (I.e. the Givens playground as
compared to the McCormick Woods splash pad/playground). Let’s go PO!
8/4/2020 10:54 AM
18 Can we add more sidewalks??? This is the only place I've lived without them in our
neighborhood! (Even in rural Oklahoma, Hawaii, Kuwait & Bahrain)
8/4/2020 10:28 AM
19 I love living in PO. The downtown area needs to continue to spruce up though! There are too
many junk shops and not enough night-life/dining/enjoyment areas around Bay Street. The
empty buildings need to go and we need to welcome in family friendly entertainment. Also we
have so many young professionals moving here for the SY... they love to spend money on nice
restaurants, breweries, and bars. Keep improving!
8/4/2020 10:19 AM
20 We need a YMCA! We need a good spray park.8/4/2020 5:00 AM
21 Emphasizing on programs that develop the youth, foster the elderly, and revitalize our natural
recreation is the primary recommendation I can provide. It'll allow the youth to be more attuned
with the natural environment (keeping them active and ensuring that the future prosperity of our
natural resources is provided through the interest of the youth) and heavily stimulate their
personal development, to include their mental and physical health. Meanwhile, providing to the
elderly will provide an improved quality of life to the long-term residents of our municipality; a
final quality of life that is well deserved especially to those without family nearby.
8/3/2020 10:17 PM
22 I wasn't even aware some of the city parks on the map existed, so perhaps better advertising
of the parks.
8/3/2020 7:47 PM
23 Keep the homeless people from sleeping in the parks and dirtying them up with their trash so
that it's safe for families with children to enjoy the parks. I avoid taking my grandchildren to
certain areas because the trash is getting bad and it feels unsafe with people hanging around
and sleeping in their cars and sometimes in tents or even just in a sleeping bag on the ground.
8/3/2020 5:56 PM
24 I think that creating and maintaining parks should be the top priority followed by acquiring and
maintaining open space.
8/3/2020 4:00 PM
25 Getting the word out for community events! A club for local Port Orchardians hikers/trail
lovers/enviornmentalists to not only hang out together monthly, but also work together to keep
our trails safe & clean.
8/3/2020 1:13 PM
26 Highly consider more multi-use courts lined for a variety of activities, a big one being
pickleball. P'ball nets could be brought in and placed on the courts.
8/3/2020 11:52 AM
27 We LOVE the new park on Old Clifton! It’s nice for families! We wish the library were in a more
accessible location and that it felt more friendly for families (my friend’s child was assaulted
there by a mentally ill patron, so we use the library in Gig Harbor). We’d also love to see a
YMCA here!
8/2/2020 6:17 PM
28 1. On the Bay Street waterfront park, you never installed the bench on the slab (near the Ford
car wash). 2. I've noticed a lot more homeless people. But no facilities available to them.
Suggestion: outdoor kennel, chain link fenced with an GFI electrical outlet for a heated blanket.
8/2/2020 6:04 PM
29 Joint operations with churches and non-profits should be encouraged.8/2/2020 3:39 PM
30 Appreciate the way the workers keep the grass cut at Veteran's Memorial Park 8/2/2020 10:56 AM
31 I would like to see more wide, paved paths for walking/non-motorized vehicles.8/1/2020 6:42 PM
32 Idea- Create a "Quest book" (Valley Quest Program-www.valleyquest.org) for the various parks
and open spaces and other free areas (cemetery). The book is a map of local areas with
information about each area. The quests are clues to explore the area with sometimes
information about the area. Follow the clues to find the hidden stamp, stamp the book and
send in the complete stamp page to receive a patch. I purchased a quest book on vacation in
Oregon and had a great time exploring new areas that I would have otherwise not known about.
The quest book could introduce citizens and visitors to our area, increasing usage and
potential tourism.

35 I use the dog parks and I don't think they were included in the survey? I go to Howe dog park 3
times per week and Bandix once every 2 weeks. I live by the pocket park at the north end of
Veteran's memorial park and would like to see the Basketball half court have a net for the
nieghborhood kids.and a playground like it used to have. Lots of poor kids in the neighborhood
and they play in that small, fenced park
7/31/2020 2:58 PM
36 have sidewalks on Sidney road all the way to Albertsons to Tremont 7/31/2020 12:11 PM
37 We would love to see a community pool with slides and a little kids area. More splash pads.
More security features at parks (cameras)
7/31/2020 9:37 AM
38 I would concentrate on the waterfront; get as much of it as possible for public land, for parks,
water parks, why not a salt water pool? Little beaches. And of course long rambling walks etc.
7/30/2020 7:48 PM
39 Parks: Mccormick woods park is awesome, etta/spinny park on waterfront is awesome. Howe
Farm is A-MAZE-ING. More dog space would be awesome. I'd really like to see another splash
pad/park also. A public pool/swim facility (indoor for year round or outdoor for summer) would
be SWEET. Re Downtown... Our downtown is so cute, but.... Do we really need 16 antique
stores? We have no tourism draws. Couple good restaurants but i'd love to see some more
draws to the local economy and some more things that I can do with kids (half the antique
stores are owned by crotchety elderly people that are not kid friendly and/or friendly to anyone
else either).
7/30/2020 5:53 PM
40 Please focus resources on beautification along waterfront bike/walking path. My wife and I love
to walk and bike that path, and dream of a future when fun shops and businesses are open
right along the path. Downtown Port Orchard has improved so much in recent memory! Thank
you!
7/30/2020 5:43 PM
41 Don’t take people’s property to create something 7/30/2020 5:05 PM
42 Install Pickleball courts at any of the tennis courts in Port Orchard 7/30/2020 4:26 PM
43 Great work on McCormick Village Park! walking trails and facilities terrific. Kudos for dog park.
Please develop more open space parks of this type that can be used year round and
accessible to all. Please expand (purchase or through grants) open green spaces to preserve
and maintain or unique rural character. Perfect example is newly acquired Coulter Creek
County Park.... perhaps also acquisition of open space near airport for additional green space.
Work to improve waterfront access along beach drive extending eastward and west if possible
towards Gorst. Encourage removal of derelict properties along Bay Street to extend walking
and bike trail to Lighthouse Point. This is a real asset for the city and can bring more folks
downtown.
7/30/2020 3:45 PM
44 I love the parks and trails we have now. They're very friendly and I feel I can be myself in
them. They have a relaxed atmosphere, and I'm proud of that. I wouldn't change them for the
world.

48 I was happy to see that plastic dog pickup bags were added to the Givens field. It would be
nice to see some kind on enforcement for people who don't clean up after their pets. Not sure
how that could be done but hate to see the filth left by the people who don't. Stopped going to
Central/Clayton park because of all the dog feces not picked up.
7/29/2020 6:48 AM
49 Playgrounds at van zee and trail maintenance throughout, swimming pool and community

55 I am concerned that the wonderful water view we have driving through Port Orchard is going to
be lost as high rise building are coming soon. We need to preserve the waterfront view for all of
South Kitsap and visitors who drive down Bay Street and Beach drive. More pocket parks, like
the one by the motel should be planned.

56 Covid 19 safeguards have impacts that make some of the answers skew negative.7/28/2020 12:20 PM
57 As previously noted, my family and I are avid bicyclists. We own the Indoor BMX race track
just outside city limits and have seen first hand how involvement with BMX and bicycles, for
kids teens and adults that just arent interested in typical team sports, can improve overall
fitness, quality of life and confidence. Highly recommend researching putting a Velo Solutions
Pump Track in town. Could easily fit at SK Regional Park, but I feel Givens, Rotary or Van Zee
would be just as good. Once completed, it is not a very big footprint, and they are
customizable for size.
7/27/2020 8:42 PM
58 South Kitsap Regional Park is a treasure! We are impressed with skate board facility
particularly with its users - they are very kind and patient with the younger children. Our parks
must provide a broad choice of activities for our young adults. But activities won't work without
good communications of upcoming events.

66 Port Orchard desperately needs a waterfront trail for biking that is many miles long. They need
a public leaisure pool that is warm enough for kids. The high school pool is freezing because
it's meant for laps. Biking trails are desperately needed. The streets are not safe without
shoulders or sidewalks.
7/20/2020 7:22 AM
67 Yes. I know this has been brought up before but unless we get the transient situation under
control, show more police presence, and take care of the current facilities we have, then I
won't vote for additional facilities.
7/17/2020 9:13 PM

72 small boat boathouse/dock for kayaks and possibly high school rowing team. A community

7/6/2020 9:23 AM
73 More oversight in construction and maintenance of city parks. Does anyone check to see if the
restrooms have been cleaned? Did anyone inspect construction at McCormick Park? Why is
the water at the splash pad not filtered and recirculated rather than just going down the drain
into the sewer system?

cash flow. Stop already. It’s disgusting and you should be ashamed at the way the city council
is behaving. Greed. Nothing but greed.
76 Homeless help getting off drugs, psychological assistance. Make our parks clean and safe
again.
7/2/2020 6:28 AM
77 Yes. The City needs to take better care of the overall cutting of grass and treatment of weeds
in the park areas to include the Givens Picnic Area, and the Active center itself. That building
is a sore eye for the Community. People will take care of parks if it looks like the City Cares.
Also, police presence would be a good deterrent to the grafetti and vandalism occurring. If the
Police could just walk through the parks once in awhile late at night around 5:00 or 6:00 that
would really help. Safety is a big issue, because if people do not feel safe they will not use the
parks, no matter how much money is spent.

facility is not built with the Bank in mind or the rotary in mind or entrepreneurs from West
Sound group in mind. Also, it needs to not turn into a soup kitchen and haven for the
downtrodden nor eventually taken over by city government. There must be true grassroots
outreach far beyond a survey, that I literally stumbled upon...and I watch almost all city council
