RE-ENACTING a Six (6) Month MORATORIUM and Hearing Notice: Issuance of Permits or Approvals Pertaining to Adult Businesses: David Johnson, Associate Planner, reported that he is asking for another six month enactment of the moratorium on the issuance of pennits or approvals pertaining to adult businesses in the County. He has asked the Sheriffs Office if they could issue such pennits and he felt that the Sheriff's Office could do this, but he doesn't think this is a big issue. The other issue is the clustering of these businesses together and the research he has done indicates that is not recommended because it would effectively create a red light district. He asked that the Board extend the moratorium for 6 more months and approve the hearing notice. He asked if the Board has any other research they would like done on this issue? Chairman Sullivan asked if there is a different vehicle than a business license for these establishment? David Johnson reported that health and safety standards could be used as a safety net for the locating of this type of business and the UDC would cover the siting of these businesses in the County. Chairman Sullivan suggested that this may be an activity that could only happen in a UGA and asked that this be reviewed. Any proposed change to this ordinance would be reviewed by the Planning Commission. Commissioner Austin moved to approve ORDINANCE NO. 06-1025-10 enacting a moratorium against the issuance of pennits or approvals pertaining to adult businesses and to approve the hearing notice setting the hearing for November 8, 20 I 0 at 10:00 a.m. as presented.

HEARING Fe: Determination to Declare Certain County Real Property us Surplus: Parcel #702-273-005 Located in Quikene: Treasurer Judi Morris reported that the property to be declared surplus is located in QuiIcene and was originaI1y purchased by Public Works. An adjacent property owner has submitted an application to purchase it. An appraisal was done by Ralph Ericksen, a local appraiser, that came in at $99,000 which is higher than the assessed value which was $91,000 (2006 appraisal cycle). The Public Works Department and the Treasurer recommend that this property be declared surplus and sold at auction. The Chair opened the public hearing. Rob Van De We!!he. Quilcene, stated that he feels the appraisal does not take into account that there are easements on the property that would reduce its value because they limit what can be done on the property. He asked that this be considered when the minimum bid price for the property is set.
