Date:Thursday, July 24, 2025 2:17:09 PM ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear Ms Frostholm: I live at 941 Shine Rd. I am writing about the application for a shellfish farming installation on Killipie Road. I did not see any notice about a public comment period, and I would like to be able to comment on this proposal. I would request please that a period for public comment be re-issued, with notice of such posted in visible places along Shine Road. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, John B.

To: Donna Frostholm Re: I Never Saw Notice of Killapie Beach Shellfish Proposal Dear Ms. Frostholm, I live at 23 Longmire Lane, Port Ludow, WA 98365. I'm writing to tell you that I never saw any notice of a plan for a shellfish operation off of Killapie Beach Road. I regularly drive and walk Shine road between my home and the Hood Canal Bridge and sometimes the closed roads that the County no longer maintains. There is only one road that carries public traffic in and out of the Shine community, and that is Shine Road. If you are going to post a notice where you want people to see it, it needs to be posted on Shine Road. It is my understanding that under Jefferson County Code, the County is required to post a physical notice "where it is completely visible to vehicle traffic and pedestrians.” It appears to me that this was not done. We learned only last week that the notice was posted down at the site. Killapie Beach Road is marked with a sign and red diamond, just a short distance in from Shine Road, that says "End of County Road.” No one would have seen this walking or driving. If I hadn't learned about this proposal from Marilyn Showalter, I wouldn't know about it at all. I think the County should post a new notice with a new public comment period. I would like to know that you received this e-mail from me. Please reply to marciaschwendiman@gmail.com.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Re: Flawed notice of Killapie Beach Shellfish Proposal Donna Frostholm, I live in Shine at 31 Churchill Lane, Port Ludlow. I am writing to complain that notice of the proposed shellfish operation was never posted along Shine Road. I never saw the notice as it was not visible from Shine Road. Killapie Beach Road is closed to traffic because it is a slide area. What is the use of a notice that is out of public view. The county should post a new notice with a new comment period.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear Ms. Frostholm, My name is Steve Aos, and I live at 1596 Shine Road. I am concerned that the proposed Killapie Beach shellfish operation was insufficiently posted so that local residents could properly review the application (it was posted well off of Shine Road). The application should be required to be re-noticed. In addition to the improper placement of the notice, I am particularly concerned about the fire hazards posed by the site, since there is evidence that flammable materials are, or have been, at the location. I believe that East Jefferson fire trucks are unable to access the location and this poses real concerns for all the residents along Shine Road.

Please be advised that we never saw any notice of a plan for a shellfish operation off of Killapie Beach Road. We drive by Killapie Beach Road on a regular basis as that is the route we take to cross Hood Canal Bridge and return. We don't know of any one that goes down Killapie Road as it is only to a private residence There is only one road that carries public traffic in and out of the Shine community, and that is Shine Road. The notice was apparently posted at the site which is not visible to anyone except maybe but the people living on Killapie Beach Road. We believe this notice should have been posted on Shine Road where it would be visible to vehicles as well as pedestrians in order for there to be proper notice for comment. If we had not learned about this proposal from Marilyn Showalter, we wouldn't know about it at all. We request the County post a new notice with a new public comment period. Thank you.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them.      Dear Ms. Frostholm, My name is Sara Davis. My husband and I live at 1254 Shine Road, Port Ludlow WA 98365. It has come to our attention that a posted public notice for a Killapie Beach Shellfish Proposal was posted at the end of Killapie Beach Road. This is in an area where the ground is unstable. This road has one house on it and is a dead end. There is no reason to ever drive down Killapie Beach Road. Posting a public notice on a road that almost no one ever uses to notify the whole community seems unfortunate. If the sign was meant for people to see who live in this area the sign should be posted where everyone can see it. Since everyone who lives in the area navigates Shine Road to get to Highway 104 it seems appropriate that the sign should have been posted on Shine Road near the entrance to Killapie Beach Road. Please reconsider a plan which will allow the community an opportunity to read this public notice and give them time to respond to it. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear Ms. Frostholm, I'm a resident of the Shine community. I understand from my fellow community member, Marilyn Showalter, that there is a proposed plan for a shellfish operation off of Killapie Beach Road. I never saw any notice regarding this plan. I live at 110 Harbor View Pl, and travel up and down the length of Shine Road by foot and by car frequently. Shine is the only road traveled by the public and the entire community to get in and out of this area. Shine Road is where a public notice must be posted if you expect the public it is aimed at to see it. Otherwise, the public is not being informed. If Ms. Showalter had not alerted me to this matter, I would not know anything about it. The county should post a new notice with a new public comment period. Thank you for your attention. Elena R.

Dear Mrs. Frostholm I live at 1520 Shine Rd. I want to tell you I never saw any notice of a plan for a shellfish operation off of Killapie Beach Road. I travel via both ends of Shiine Road often, and I never saw any notice. There is only one road that carries traffic in and out of the Shine community, and that is Shine Road. It wasn’t posted on Shine Road. If you want people to see the notice, you have to post it on Shine Road. If I hadn’t learned about this proposal from Marilyn Showalter, I would not know about it at all. I think the County should post a new notice with a new public comment period.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear Ms Frostholm, I live at 31 Churchill Lane on Shine Road. I walk Shine Road almost every day past Killapie Road and I have never seen a notice about a shellfish operation near Killapie Road. The county should post a new notice with a new public comment period. Thank you for considering my concern. Randy Corbett Rlcor@msn.com From:Steve Dittmar To:Donna Frostholm Subject:Notice of potential Shine area Shellfish Proposal not posted where people in the area have any chance to see it Date:Friday, July 25, 2025 12:37:54 PM ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear Ms. Frostholm, I am a Shine area resident since 2012 and live at 30 Watney Ln (off of Shine Rd). I am about 1.25 miles from Killapie Beach road and travel by it every time I go to/across the Hood Canal Bridge, which is several times a week. I keep an eye out for notices for proposals like this and have not seen this notice anywhere visible from Shine Road. I understand from Marilyn Showalter that this notice was posted far beyond the end of the paved portion of Killapie Beach Road where the road turns into more of a path than a road and the posting was beyond the sign stating “end of county road” which implies private property is beyond. Neighbors are walking and driving along Shine road daily but certainly not down this path that appears to be private. I believe there is only one occupied house on Killapie Beach road so that road is likely only travelled by that one resident and their driveway is before the end of the pavement. Save to say it is likely no one had an opportunity to see this posted notice. Please reset the comment period and repost the notice up at the very beginning of Killapie Beach road where it connects to Shine Road so our community has an opportunity to read the notice and provide input. My hunch is that you received little or no input from this essentially hidden notice. I believe this lack of community input completely misrepresents the actual level of community interest and likely input if/when the community is able to see the notice. Thank you for considering my input Steve Dittmar 206.619.6822 From:Carolyn Eagan To:Donna Frostholm Subject:Oyster farm Date:Saturday, July 26, 2025 11:14:32 AM ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear Ms. Frostholm, I am writing to tell you that I just learned from a neighbor about a proposed oyster farm off of Killapie Beach Rd. It is my understanding that the county is obligated to post notice of any shellfish operations. I never saw a notice and I drive by there all the time. I am asking that a notice be posted in a visible location and that that the time for comments start when the notice is posted. Thank you Carolyn Eagan Sent from my iPhone From:BC West To:Donna Frostholm Subject:We Have Never Seen Any Public Notice of the Killapie Beach Shellfish Proposal Date:Thursday, July 24, 2025 2:17:37 PM ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear Ms. Frostholm, I live at 1482 Shine Rd, Port Ludlow. I have just today been made aware of an application for a shellfish operation off of Killapie Beach Road. I am writing to tell you I have never seen any public notice along Shine Rd. of any such application or plan, and I drive up/down that stretch of Shine Rd. multiple times each week. If not for the information provided to me by my neighbor, Marilyn Showalter, I would have had no awareness whatsoever of this application. Since Shine Rd. is the only road in/out of this community, and any application of this type has an impact on this community. As such, I think it is incumbent on the county (and/or any other involved agency) to prominently post any public notices on Shine Rd. to ensure the community is fully aware of such applications, in order to have a fair and reasonable opportunity to be informed and respond per public notice guidelines. I request the County post a new public notice and initiate a new public comment period for this application. Thank you.
