Brown called the meeting to order at 10:00 a.m. All members were present. Hearing; Petition to Vacate Portion of Third Avenue, Irondale: Chairman Brown opened the hearing. Betty Redling and lzetta Stark, the petitioner, attended the ~earing. David Goldsmith reported that the Public Works Department objects to the vacation because it would limit access to property to the southeast and restrict traffic circu- lation; that the City of Port Townsend requested retention of a utility easement for water lines running down the street; and that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the vacation and fur- ther recommended that the County also vacate the alley, noting that the petition was considered by the Planning Commission without a traffic circulation plan for the area and without representation from the Public Works Department. Mr. Goldsmith stated that none of the other agencies responded to notification of the proposed vacation. Milt Sanstrom reiterated the Public Works Department position and stated that the area is not developed enough at this point to know what the needs will be in the future. Mrs. Stark pointed out that the steep hills would make the road, if opened, dangerous and that the terrain is not condusive to development. Mrs. Redling noted that a road running along the beach could be reopened to provide circulation, but it was pointed out that there is a problem with this, in that most of the right-of-way for that road has already been vacated. Chairman Brown invited further comment and, when none was forthcoming, closed the hearing. Commissioner Mercer moved to return the petition to the Planning Commission for further consideration in light of additional information regarding traffic circulation and previous vacation. Commissioner O'Meara seconded the motion. Unanimous. The Commissioners will consider the petition again on February 8, 1982 at 10:30 a.m. Inquiry Regarding Purchase of County Property: Wally Bowman approached the Board about purchasing some County property in order to provide better access to his property.
