Re: Request for legislation to designate six vessels as landmarks

Honorable Paul Kraabel, Chairman

Planning & Urban Development Committee City Council Seattle

Dear Sir:

'By City Council transmittal you transmitted a memo- ranftm together with certain documents, and requested that we prepare legislation designating six vessels as landmarks, exempting them from certain fees and requiring a written assurance of responsibility for salvage. The requested legislation is transmitted herewith.

We advise that the City has authority to impose re- quirements for the preservation of certain features of such Nressels only while such vessels are within the limits of this City and subject to its jurisdiction. Accordingly each ordinance exnressly provides that such requirements apply only while the vessels are within the City limits and sub- ject1to the City's jurisdiction.

In such connection, we advise further that, for most purposes, the W.T. Preston is not subject to the juris- diction of the City, even when within the City limits, so long as it is owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Yours very truly,

JOHN P. HARRIS Corporation Counsel

Council transmittal dated 17, 1976, Subject: City September requesting

lation designating Old Main StreetSchool, etc. as historic landmarks.

The Planning and Urban Development Committee has approved the recownendation the Landmarks Preservation Board to designate the properties described in the materials as historic landmarks under the Landmarks Preservation Ordinance attached - No. 102229. In each case the Landmarks Board has submitted a proposed draft ordin- ance.

In the case of the historic ships recommended by the Board, the Board has provided n its draft a section exempting the ship from the payment of fees when moored in public waterways. The Committee approved the fee exemptions, but noted that there is a question how this should best be accomplished. Please consult with Ms. Roberta Deering of the Office of Urban Conservation, Department 4- Should 6f Cc-%~.rmiunity Development regarding the question of whether his exemption be provided in the designating ordinance or by means of an amendment to the Harbor Code and Street Use Ordinance.

Dear Mr. Kraabel:

In accordance with agreements between your office and this office, we are re- turning for resumption of action by the Planning and Urban Development Committee on A:ze~_;st 18, tile following listed landmarks to be considered for designation. As not-ed in the tabulation all of these properties have previously been acted upon favorably by your Committee and in addition one of them was acted upon by the Council of the Whole. Since these properties were considered early on in the establishment of our landmark procedures, the formulation of designating legislat.ion did not occur in the same sequence as it does now and you will call that it was necessary that such legislation as had been drafted be recalled fro,r,,i Corporation Counsel by us with your acquiescence. It is our understanding, with the other non-contested properties which your Committee acted on two ,Is ago, that you are willing to consider these additional properties once more fi order that the designation process may be completed at an early date.

You w-111 note that in the proposed legislation for the several ships we have - in.clur_~ed a paragraph, "Section 4, Exemptions from the Provisions of the Harbor Code z~.nnd Street Use Ordinance". The reasons for this provision are noted in the reference letters from the Board of Public Works.. We have responded directly to the suggestions of that Board that the provisions for moorage exemptions be handled landmark or on a by designation legislation ship by ship basis. However, in this office we are somewhat of the opinion at this time that it might be better to accomplish this through an amiendment to the Harbor Code/Street Use Legislation. We shall also be glad to discuss this matter with your or with Corporation Counsel.
