Proposed Industrial Building/Traffic Situation - Ordinance
Mr. Ian Munce, Planning Director, presented information on the current traffic
volume on "R" and Commercial Avenues.
In a 1980 study done by Entranco Engineers
to determine the impacts of industrial development east of Commercial Avenue,
it was recommended that after 1985 a long-term major capital improvement would
be necessary to accommodate increased traffic flow.
An at-grade intersection
at SR 20 and R Avenue, an overpass or an underpass were recommendations proposed
by Entranco.
Mr. Munce further explained that Entranco' s recommendations were
based on continuing growth in the module fabrication industry formerly located
in Anacortes Industrial area; however, a recent review by URS Corporation, our
consulting engineers, shows an annual traffic volume increase of 5% and a volume
increase that exceeds earlier projections made by Entranco that included the nowterminated Snelson projects.
An application has been made to CERB for funds for an overpass and Road
Improvement Assessments to develop a Highway Improvement Fund are two possible
means of developing long term solutions; in any event, a Moratorium on building
permits for industrial development east of Commercial Avenue was proposed by the
Planning Director as the correct action to take now until a long term solution
is put into place.

After discussion, Mr. Jackson moved and Mr. Brown seconded that an Ordinance
entitled "An Ordinance Placing a Moratorium on New Building in the Light and

exclude single family residence as a permitted use.
Mr. Ian Munce, Planning

underpass/overpass at Highway 20 and R Avenue as his property abuts the exit. Mr.
Post has contemplated selling his property, but in light of the proposed project,
would like more information on the City's possible purchase of adjacent property.
Mr. Ian Munce, Planning Director, explained the State Department of Transportation
estimated that four properties would need to be purchased and the proposed budget
for the overpass includes monies fot the purchase of right of way; however, Mr.
Munce suggested that a Road Improvement District program would be another means
to accumulate funds for future property acquisition should the CERB funding not
become available.
Mr. Post also inquired about the City's plans to upgrade the
gravel road on 35th Street.
Mr. Ford, Director of Public Works, explained that
the property owners had chosen not to participate in an L.I.D. to have the street
paved and the City is under severe environmental restraints regarding the use of
oil/hazardous wastes to maintain the streets.

continued

and
a
way
to
assess
new developments
for
their
proportional costs of
road/intersection improvements.
The new Road Improvement District language
proposes that each development will be assessed, at the time of the purchase of
the building permit, what their share of the overall improvement project would be.
In order to develop a Road Improvement District program for the City of Anacortes,
Mr. Munce made the following three recommendations to the Council:
1) the City
seek formal comment on this proposal from Skagit County, the Skagit Council of
Governments and the Washington State Department of Transportation, 2) the City set
a public hearing for April 18 to consider adoption of an ordinance implementing
a road Improvement District Program as described in Memorandum to City Council
dated March 23, 1988; 3) City staff be authorized to prepare an Ordinance that
could be adopted May 2, 1988 effective May 16, 1988.

Public Hearing - Proposed Transportation Impact Fee
Mayor Rice declared a Public Hearing open on the proposed transportation impact
fee.
Mr. Ian Munce, Planning Director, requested that Mr. Mal seed's letter be
accepted into the public record as part of the hearing testimony. Mr. Munce then
provided background information regarding the City's application to the CERB Board
for $3.9 million dollars to build ah underpass/overpass at Highway 20 and R Avenue.
Federal funds would provide 41 million of the cost and the State CERB funding would
provide the balance of $2. 9 million.
At the last CERB Board meeting, it was
indicated that the City needs to develop a system of imposing transportation impact
fees; as the· City has no authority to generate taxes, the public Hearing is being
held to propose means of generating additional revenue to pay part of the costs
of new transportation projects.
Mr. Dave Malseed expressed concern that the additional fees assessed against small
business owners would stifle development in the urban renewal area.
Mr. Dan Folkers of Quantum Construction asked what the proposed fee would be. Mr.
Munce explained that the development fee would be $.SO/square foot for new
industrial space constructed in the area east of Commercial and north of Highway
20.
I
Mrs. Dan Folkers asked why the fee would be assessed against industrial area
businesses as other areas of the City would benefit if, for example, ferry traffic
was rerouted down R Avenue.
Mr. Munce explained that the transportation impact
fee is in the development stage and that during this planning period, it appears
that the most logical service area would be east of Commercial where industrial
development would continue.
There were no further comments and 'the Mayor declared the Public Hearing closed.
Empty Lot/Weed Clean-up
Mr. Ray Separovich expressed concern about the vacant lots throughout the City that
are overgrown with' weeds. The lots· have become unsightly and are potential fire

property at its original cost plus development costs incurred. Mrs. Horn reviewed
the council's unwillingness to grant time period extensions on options held in the

public. Additionally, Ms. Martin explained that the vacation is part of two
Interlocal agreements between the City and the Port authorizing various property
exchanges. Mayor Rice asked the Port to consider the use of the vacated property
for additional parking when no cargo is stored. Mr. Themo Demopoulos, 1120 10th
St., co-owner of Marine Supply, protested the vacation based on the possibility,
for insurance purposes, of requiring the vacated area to be fenced.
The loss of
parking space and the use of a truck scale were also concerns of Mr. Demopoulos.
Mr. Dick Dildine, 1211 6th St., felt that the Port would be required to block off
vacated area in order to comply with insurance policies. Mr. John Prosser, Chamber
of Commerce, also expressed concern over the potential loss of the truck scale.
Ms. Martin of the Port again informed the audience and Council that the Port would
not block public access to the vacated area.

Citizen Hearings
Mr. Dennis Post residing at 715 35th St. addressed Council regarding the condition
of 35th street between R Avenue and V Avenue. Mr. post stated that the street used
to be an oil mat until the City tore it up and gravelled it which in his opinion
mde it worse.
His complaint was that speeding cars created a safety hazard for
those living along the street as well as a tremendous amount of dust.
He asked
Council if something could be done about both conditions. Mayor Rice stated that
he would look into the possibility of creating a new L.I.D. in the area to repave
the street.
Proposed Change Short Plat Ordinance
Mr. Dave Ford, Director of Public Works, reviewed the proposal for change of the
present short plat ordinance from a maximum of 4 lots to a maximum of 9 lots. He
reviewed his contact with various cities in the area and with Skagit County.
Of
the cities contacted only Bellingham has changed their ordinance to reflect a short
plat of 9 lots. The City of Bellingham also requires that notification of property
owners within 300 feet of a proposed 5 to 9 lot short plat be made. Mr. Lian
inquired as to why other cities have not adopted the 9-lot short plat. Mr. Ford
stated that in his discussions with the cities that subject was not brought up.
Mr. Rock stated that he felt that notification of surrounding property owners
should be made if Council was to approve a 9-lot short plat. Mrs. Juddie Murphy
commented that with regard to short plats there is no requirement for an
environmental worksheet, no SEPA requirement and that if development was to take
place in difficult areas to build on such as Cap Sante, that environmental
worksheets were very necessary.
She also inquired of Council as to how much
control Council would want to exercise with regard to short plats and would
improvements be up to standard. Mr. Rock commented that it would not hurt to have
an environmental worksheet and/or a SEPA checklist for the additional lots.
Mr.
Separovich suggested that an ordinance be built according to suggestions of the
Director of Public works and that such ordinance be well thought out.
Mr.
Separovich further stated that the ordinance would be brought back to the City
Council for their review.
Mr. Jackson stated that he had some concern that the
proposal to increase the number of lots in a short plat from 4 to 9 would be a step
backwards in the longterm development of the community. Mr. John Prosser residing
at 1301 6th St. in Anacortes addressed Council stating that he felt that the change
n number of lots would possibly be a step forward rather than a step backwards.
He felt that the option should be there to be able to plat additional lots under
the short plat ordinance.
He further stated that the option would be there but
would not be automatic. Mayor Rice stated that something would be drafted up based
on the recommendations and discussion presented to Council.
This draft would be
brought back to the Council within approximately 2 weeks.

Resolution to Provide Park Funding Through IAC
Mayor Rice read a resolution urging the legislature to enact legislation which will
provide funding for park acquisition, development and rehabilitation pursuant to
a long term program administered by the Interagency Committee for Outdoor
Recreation.
Mayor Rice called on Mr. Colby to review the resolution for the
Council and public present. Mr. Colby explained that monies which were previously
distributed by IAC are practically non-existent at the present.
The purpose of
the resolution would be to provide the Association of Washington Cities a platform
to urge the legislature to provide additional funding for the IAC.
In the past
the City of Anacortes has benefited from these monies through improvements to
Washington Park and Storvik Park and Mr. Colby urged that Council pass this
resolution.
Mr. Separovich stated that he felt that a public fishing dock should
be constructed within the City of Anacortes and should be part of the potential
funding package.
Mayor Rice stated that the legislative committee to which he
belongs would present this resolution next week provided passage by Council.

Discussion of One-Way Streets Downtown
Mayor Rice opened discussion on the proposal to provide one-way streets in the
downtown area. Mayor Rice explained that the one-way street proposal would affect
5th, 6th, 7th and 8th streets between 0 and Q Avenues. He further explained that
8th street would be eastbound, 7th street would be westbound, 6th street would
be eastbound and 5th street would be westbound.
I
Mr. Separovich commented that he had talked with several people in Mt. Vernon,
both merchants and shoppers, and it was his impression from those discussions that
those he talked to felt that the one-way streets in Mt. Vernon did more harm than
good.
Mr. Thomas Leahy of Anacortes addressed Council with some thoughts,
inquiries and questions.
Mr. Leahy asked why was parking picked as the one
solution to the problem.
He felt that there was no statistical data to support
providing one-way streets to increase parking.
He also asked if there was a
tradeoff between going to one-way streets and what the merchants would do to
enhance their businesses.
He further asked if there was any data to indicate the
amount of gain to the businesses from the addition of more parking. He felt that
maybe the proposal to go to one-way streets to enhance parking was more of an
emotional issue rather than a statistical one.
He felt that by going to one-way
streets the City may lose rather than gain.
Mayor Rice stated that the number
of complaints the City gets with regard to lack of parking could be considered
as a statistical indicator. Mr. Brown stated that there has been businesses in
the past that looked at locations in the downtown area but felt there was not
enough parking and moved elsewhere. Mr. Guy Chapman, Chairman of the Project 90's
Committee, addressed Council and explained the formation of the Project 90' s
Committee, its goals, where it was going and how often the Committee met.
Mr.
Chapman stated he felt that there was a good cross-section of citizens from
Anacortes on the Committee and that the Committee had seven active subcommittees.
Mr. Maxwell asked Mr. Chapman to address the parking problem. Mr. Chapman stated
that he felt there was a parking problem and illustrated the fact that Puget Power
had moved from its previous location at 7th & Commercial to a location on 15th
street due to a perceived parking problem. Mr. Don Coughlin addressed the Council
and stated that he felt that parking is the issue not one-way streets.
He felt
that thee is a serious problem on Commercial Avenue and there is a definite need
to add parking spaces so that patrons will come to the businesses. Mr. Gene Tang
commented to Council with regard to the parking and spoke in favor of the proposed
one-way street system.
Mr. Leahy again addressed the City Council restating that
he felt there was a need to look at the proposal from a statistical data
standpoint before moving ahead.
He commented on the structure and functions of
the Project 90's Committee and further stated the necessity of showing the whole
picture rather than the pieces.
Mr. Brown stated his opinion that there is an
overall problem and that the Project 90's Committee was working on those problems
on a priority basis.
He felt that there was a need to take one step at a time
and that the proposed one-way streets was the first step.
Mrs. Ruth Horn stated
to .council that the project committees work well and that they would not disorient
or confuse people with their recommendations.
Mr. Gerry Osborn stated that he
felt there was plenty of parking in the downtown area and didn't think that the
8 7QSeptember
6, 1988 - continued
proposed one-way street system was a good idea, that it would get people confused.
He suggested two alternatives; one was one hour parking in the downtown area, the
second was diagonal parking on Commercial Avenue.
Mayor Rice stated in answer
to the diagonal parking on Commercial Avenue that we had looked at it previously
and that there was no gain by utilizing diagonal parking on Commercial. Mr. John
Prosser addressed the Council stating that the purpose of the one-way streets was
to try to attract new businesses to the area. He felt that looking at the Central
Business District from a parking regulation standpoint would be a benefit.
He
felt that different parking regulations for the downtown should be implemented
which would be different from parking regulations in other areas of town.
Mr.
Rock and Mr. Brown spoke in support of the Project 90's Committee.
It was stated
that the Committee was appointed and has done a tremendous amount of work and that
they deserve an answer from Council.
Mr. Maxwell and Mr. Jackson thanked all
individuals appearing before Council for their input and for their different
viewpoints. Mrs. Smith stated an additional session in two weeks time should be
held where there would be some more input.
The session, she stated, should be
well publicized before the meeting.
Mrs. Smith also discussed the possibility
of the formation of a business improvement district to possibly look at vacant
lots where parking lots could be developed, i.e., 8th & 0, 4th & 0. It was then
decided that the next meeting with regard to the one-way street proposal would
be held on October 3, 1988.
Staff was directed to send out letters to all
businesses within the downtown area to solicit their input, recommendations, etc.
Mayor Rice stated that sometimes the City Council and Mayor as elected officials
have to do what they feel is best for the community even though at times thee is
disagreement with the Council and Mayor's decisions.
I
At this point Mr. Lian stated that he would like to clarify a comment that was
reported in the newspaper where he had purportedly criticized City staff for the
work on the Suryan proposal.
Mr. Lian indicated that his statement was not
addressed as a criticism of staff but to indicate that Mr. Suryan had opted to
work around staff and ignore their recommendations and comments to him.
Anacortes Railway
Mayor Rice opened discussion on the proposed Anacortes Railway on 9th street from
R Avenue to Commercial. Mr. Jackson moved and Mr. Rock seconded that the proposal
for the Anacortes Railway along 9th street between R Avenue and Commercial be
approved. Discussion of the proposal followed. Mayor Rice stated that the traffic
bulb at Commercial and 9th street which projects into Commercial Avenue not be
utilized.
He also stated that parking along the south side of 9th street would
be parallel parking for approximately 1/2 the block eastward from Commercial
Avenue and then diagonal parking the rest of the block to Q Avenue.
He further
stated that the traffic bulb shown at the intersection of 9th & Q were
satisfactory and could be left in the project.
Further discussion was held and
the question was called for.
Vote:
Park & Recreation Off ices
Mayor Rice stated that he and Mr. Colby had discussed the possibility of
renovating the old City shop buildings across Q Avenue from City Hall for Park
and Recreation offices.
They considered both rehabilitation of the present
buildings or tearing down the buildings and rebuilding.
It appeared on a
preliminary basis that the cost for either option would be approximately. the same.
The advantage of this move would be to have an expanded space for Park and
Recreation offices plus have room for storage of all recreation materials. Mayor
Rice stated that Council would see the proposed expenditures for this project as
a budget item for the 1989 budget.
At 9: 08 p. m. Mayor Rice announced that the Council would convene in Executive
Session to discuss real estate.
At 9:40 p.m. the Council reconvened, and without
taking any further action the meeting was adjourned.

1 be amended by adding the following sentence:
"No lots shall be sold in
divisions of land involving 5 or more lots until all improvements called for in
the Subdivision Ordinance have been installed." Additionally, the Council asked
that there be a requirement for an environmental worksheet for short plats of 5
lots or more.
The Council directed that City Staff submit an ordinance
implementing these revisions to the City Subdivision Ordinance.
New Business
The Council heard a presentation from the Chamber of Commerce. This presentation
included the rationale behind their funding request for Calendar Year 1989. The
Council agreed to fully consider this request during their budget deliberations.
Also under new business, the Council considered a proposal by the Public Works
Department to include under the pulk rate section of the City's Sanitation Rate
Ordinance an additional item to cover the pick-up and disposal of "white goods".
White goods would be defined as refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers, washing
machines, dryers, freezers, hot water tanks, etc. The proposed rate for the pickup and disposal of these items would be $10 for each item. After discussion, the
City Council directed staff to draw up an ordinance for their consideration that
would implement this change.
Also under new business, the Council considered the September 14, 1988 bids that
had been opened for the replacement of approximately 900 lineal feet of 10" wood
stay water line on "K" avenue from 17th street to 20th street. Mr. Jim Pemberton,
Assistant Director of Public Works, informed the Council that the low bidder was

revenues/expenditures for the Building Inspection Department. Three fee schedule
