HEARING re: Proposed Amendment to the Port Ludlow Development Agreement ZON12- 00061, MLA12 -00260 to Extend the Expiration Date: Associate Planner David Wayne Johnson explained that the County received a request from Port Ludlow Associates (PLA) and Olympic Water and Sewer, Inc. (OWSI) to amend the Port Ludlow Development Agreement and the Memorandum of Understanding with Jefferson County to extend the term from May 8, 2020 to May 8, 2025. The amendment also includes a provision to extend preliminary plat approval from the current seven years, to ten years. Associate Planner David Johnson indicated that his staff report included public comments his office received, and that two primary issues were identified relating to contamination due to underground storage tanks and adequate water rights. These issues are governed by the State Department of Ecology and State Department of Health. Staff has not yet contacted the State regarding the status of the issues, but intends to. Associate Planner Johnson would like to schedule a follow up meeting with the Board of County Commissioners at a future date and stated the hearing today is to take public testimony. He will answer questions brought up during the hearing, in his next staff report. Commissioner Sullivan mentioned he is interested in hearing the status from the State Department of Ecology and State Department of Health. He asked Associate Planner Johnson about his statement regarding the development agreement and if this hearing is an appropriate mechanism for dealing with those issues? Associate Planner Johnson clarified that the Development Agreement amendment is for the build out and does not pertain to some of the issues the community has expressed concerns about. It was pointed out by Chairman Amin that citizens were inquiring about the appropriate gallons per day. Associate Planner Johnson advised that 200 gallons per day was used as a benchmark to determine the MERU count, not the daily requirement. He noted that Larry Smith from OWSI could elaborate on this topic. It was decided by the Board that Mr. Smith of OWSI would have a chance to speak during the public comment period. Chairman Austin opened the hearing for public testimony. Tony Durham: Stated he is the Vice President of the Port Ludlow Village Council (PLVC) and has resided in Port Ludlow for nearly 19 years. At the general meeting on the 7`h of March, PLA, requested PLVC support the five year extension of the Development Agreement. The PLVC held a special meeting on the 14`h of March to consider that request. At that meeting, there was extensive discussion back and forth over about a two hour period. Almost without exception, everybody recognized that the economy from roughly 2007 - 2008 had been weak and not sufficient to support the level of demand necessary to complete build out by the originally planned 2020 date. There was wide agreement that the extension request was reasonable and deserved community support. The council approved preparation and transmittal of a letter of support for the extension request. The council also required that the support letter include two specific and related issues and concerns that the County was urged to address as an Page 3 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: April 1, 2013 intrical part of the extension review and approval process. Those two issues are those that David Johnson has already referred to. The adequacy of water rights is the first. Those rights need to be at levels consistent with projected needs. As construction and population approach and reach build out, levels need to be assured. I believe the currently approved supply is 550 acre feet. We believe the build out estimated need is in the region of 580. So you need approximately 38 feet of additional supply, which is about a 5 or 6 percent increase. Not a huge increase, but it's not trivial. The important part is that the availability needs to be assured. There has been a little bit of confusion raised lately because additional information from OWSI indicates 550 acre feed may be sufficient for build out needs, but that is not settled. Important to note, is that in the early years the population of Port Ludlow was primarily retirees and vacationers, many of them absent for several months of the year. Hence low household water usage of about 200 gallons a day. There is recent data of more year round residents and changing demographics. Larry Smith, OWSI Representative: Clarified that the 200 gallons per day figure that Associate Planner Johnson mentioned earlier, was used during the development of what is called measurement ERU's. We were searching for a way to equate commercial equivalence to residential, so we came up with that. The 200 gallons per day specifically is from the Department of Ecology criteria for sewage works design which assigns 100 gallons a day per person, as a figure for engineers to use when developing pump stations, pipelines, water treatment plants etcetera. So that number was used as a reliable indicator for commercial MERU's. As far as water rights, I know that Associate Planner Johnson will be seeking input from both the Department of Health and Department of Ecology. To provide some background, our water system plan, which estimates that at build out 550 acre feet of water be required, is based on 185 gallons per day per connection. That is the conversion we used based on historical use records. For comparison, we feel that is a conservative number. Just to give you comparisons, the current actual use for residential customers on annual average is around 135 gallons per day per connection. That has been consistent for the last 3 years. Certainly the last 3 years have been cooler than some years before that, but we have to look at averages and long term trends when we are trying to analyze and make sure we have adequate water. To date, we have not seen anything to alter those numbers, however, our water system plan is due for an update this year, so we will be revisiting all of those numbers. We have not seen any variations from our historical figures. Any questions? County Administrator Morley asked if there were years where they have exceeded the 135 gallons per day? Mr. Smith replied it had and when asked by County Administrator Morley how high it has gone, Mr. Smith stated he did not have those figures with him, but stated that the 185 gallons per day was from the current water system plan that was approved in 2007 and that it took into account some of those higher year usages. Tony Simpson: Stated he is a resident of Port Ludlow and commented that he had previously sent the Board emails regarding his testimony. Basically, we are comfortable that there should be an extension to the agreement. We feel that we are only hearing one handed clapping here and that we really ought to have an independent evaluation made of some of the key issues. The Board of Commissioners has an obligation of due diligence on something like this and it was specifically written into the Development Agreement that you have that authority. It's very difficult to bring up these issues at any time. This is the mid -point of the Development Agreement and it is up for extension. It is relatively simple to do a due diligence of the issues. To go past this point, it would be very hard for you to do due diligence at some later date so I urge that you exercise your authority to have an independent due diligence investigation. It should not be very major, it should be reasonably quick. If not done now, we lose the opportunity to have it. The due diligence can look at two things that have not been raised much, which is the Page 4 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: April 1, 2013 anticipated demographic changes that may occur, probably will occur, and try and get some handle on what they look like, because of course they will affect the demand side of the equation. Even though the supply side appears to be satisfied, is the demand side satisfied? And secondly, on contamination, that is always a difficult issue to raise. I know that the MTBE, which is a contaminant in half the world and found around half the contaminated sites in Washington state, was not essayed as far I can tell, by the LE, and that is among the things that really should be checked for due diligence. Chairman Austin asked for clarification of MTBE. Mr. Simpson elaborated that it stood for Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether and it used to be widely used as an anti -knock agent in gasoline as an additive and is believed to be the cure for air pollution. In some areas, its use was mandated. Currently, it is found to be a disgusting smelling and tasting substance. Its harmful effects biologically are not fully evaluated, but people won't drink it. Chairman Austin stated Associate Planner David Johnson made a comment that the DCD makes a determination when there is a site plan or when there is a build out of whether there is adequate water. He could see a Port Ludlow resident having concerns toward the end of a build out that there may not be enough to build, hence the value of their lot would be diminished. What guarantee do property owners have that they will be able to make full use of their private property? Associate Planner Johnson answered that short of a building permit, where they determine there is portable water, he is not sure. Chairman Austin added that he desires a legal response to this question on behalf of the Port Ludlow residents so they can ensure their property is going to retain its full value as a residential site. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney David Alvarez affirmed what Associate Planner Johnson stated earlier, that it appears the best way to guarantee water rights, is to apply for a building permit. Planning Manager Stacie Hoskins stated that at the subdivision level, DCD is assured that property owners have water rights for the proposed subdivision. She mentioned that they were not close to doing the building permits and the MERU count for the total build out is a planning cap, but the water system needs to be maintained so that the utility is available for the build out. She also advised against having the build out being completed too soon, prior to its use. Hearing no further public testimony, Chairman Austin closed the hearing. Commissioner Johnson asked a question regarding the size of the contaminated fuel tanks and if they were residential or commercial tanks? Larry Smith, OWSI Representative, replied that the tanks in question were used for maintenance and that they were relatively small - around one to two thousand gallons each. On one particular site owned by OWSI on 781 Walker Way, there were three such tanks and two were leaking. He noted that they were removed from the site in 1990. However, due to the placement of the tanks, residual contaminants were left behind in the soil. Commissioner Johnson asked about the cost estimate to clean up the soil. Associate Planner Johnson replied that the cleanup cost is unknown at this point. Commissioner Sullivan asked if the water rights were dependent on the location of the existing well, or if it could be moved to an area outside the contaminated zone. It was clarified by OWSI Representative Larry Smith that in the process of attempting to drill a new well, the contamination was discovered. They have since done testing of the old well and found that it is not impacted by the residual contamination. It was discussed that the new Water System Plan (WSP) is due by December 2013. There will be a public meeting in approximately 3 weeks regarding the development agreement. Page 5 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: April 1, 2013 Xkc Associate Planner Johnson stated the Preliminary Plat Approval expires June 28, 2013 and that he wished to have the Development Agreement approved before then. County Administrator Morley reviewed the extensions and agreement deadlines and mentioned the need for keeping citizens informed. Presentation re: Status of Department of Emergency Management Program: Director Bob Hamlin gave a presentation on the Department of Emergency Management programs which involve many volunteers. Letter re: Support of Grant Funding for Port Townsend School District 450: Commissioner Johnson presented a draft letter of support to the Amgen Foundation for Science Education Grant Funding for the Port Townsend School District 450 to receive grant funding for air quality monitoring. Commissioner Johnson moved to approve the letter of support. Commissioner Sullivan seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.

Project Planner: David Wayne Johnson (360)379 -4465 Izzppr ®iied fiy tfi® ® a ca Jarteraon County Commissioners _S Regular Agenda \ 9:45_ 10:00 J JEFFERSON COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA REQUEST TO: Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) Philip Morley, County Administrator FROM: Carl Smith, Director of Community Development Stacie Hoskins, Planning Manager David Wayne Johnson, Port Ludlow T ead Planner DATE: March 4, 2013 SUBJECT: Amendment No. 2 to the Port Ludlow Development Agreement STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The County has received a request from Port Ludlow Associates (PLA) and Olympic Water and Sewer Inc. (OWSI) to extend by amendment the term of their Development Agreement and the Memorandum of Understanding with Jefferson County from May 8, 2020 to May 8, 2025. The amendment also includes a provision to extend preliminary plat approval from the current seven years, to ten years. ATTACHMENTS: • Letter of request from Diana Smeland, President of Port Ludlow Associates. • Amendment No. 2 to Port Ludlow Development Agreement • Amendment No. 1 to Memorandum of Understanding Regarding the Provision of Sewer Service within the Boundaries of the Port Ludlow Master Planned Resort • Notice of Public Hearing for April 1, 2013 ANALYSIS: Staff notes that since the economic downturn of 2008, the DCD has not issued any building permits to PLA for new Single Family Residences, when just a year before, they were issued ten. That is over four years of no building activity. When the Port Ludlow Development Agreement (PLDA) was originally signed in 2000, the County anticipated the build -out of the resort would occur by the May 2020 deadline. Because of this lack of building activity, it is reasonable to extend the expiration of the PLDA to allow the build -out to occur as anticipated. Concurrent with the PLDA is a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the County and OWSI to supply sewer and water service to residences within the Port Ludlow Master Planned Resort (MPR). The MOU will expire on October 4, 2019. To be consistent, PLA is also requesting an extension to the MOU to match the expiration of the DA on May 8, Regular Agenda 9:45 — 10:00 2025. The lack of building activity also affects the ability to finalize subdivisions with preliminary approval because of the revenue from home sales that finance the required infrastructure. Currently there are two subdivisions with preliminary approval, one of which, Olympic Terrace II will expire on June 28, 2013 and already received a one year extension from the BoCC in 2012. The proposed amendment includes an extension for preliminary plat approval from the current seven years to ten years as allowed under RCW36.70B.170(3)(i). Similar to Amendment No. 1 which eliminated the Appellate Hearing Examiner process, consistent with Jefferson County Code Title 18, the current requested amendment is strictly limited to allow more time to complete the build -out of the MPR. Staff wishes to emphasize that the proposed amendments do not expand the scope or scale of development of the MPR in any way, only the time period in which PLA may achieve it. Staff will provide additional analysis subsequent to the public hearing so that public comment can be analyzed and addressed. ALTERNATIVES: The requested action is not mandatory. Section 4.6 of the PLDA, "This agreement shall not be amended without the express written approval of the County and Pope (or its successors, successor in title and assigns with respect to the property in which they have an interest). The Board of County Commissioners must approve all amendments to this agreement by ordinance or resolution and only after notice to the public and a public hearing." The BoCC may either accept or decline the request to amend. However, the current preliminary plat approval for Olympic Terrace II expires on June 28, 2013, and therefore should the BoCC accept the request to amend, time is of the essence. The BoCC may choose to modify the amendment to not include the extension to preliminary plat approval, however, the expiration of preliminary plat approval would require a complete re- application of the subdivision by PLA. FISCAL IMPACT /COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS: All staff time to process the amendments will be billed to PLA by the hour. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Accept PLA's request to process an amendment request to the Development Agreement and Memorandum of Understanding. 2. Accept the attached notice of public hearing for publication and schedule the public hearing on this matter for April 1, 2013 to occur during the BoCC regularly scheduled weekly meeting.

I am a homeowner living at 230 Camber Lane, Port Ludlow. My letter, submitted on March 18, 2013 to the Jefferson County Department of Community Development, contains more detail with 22 references; it is incorporated herein. The Port Ludlow Master Planned Resort (MPR) DA May 8th, 2000 states in Appendix A Paragraph 3.13.1 that: "The Board of County Commissioners reserve the authority to modify one or more of the standards or requirements of development for the Port Ludlow MPR during the term of the Agreement, after notice, a public hearing and adoption of findings and conclusions, to the extent required to avoid a serious threat to public health or safety, as provided in RCW 36.706.170. " Two factors in Port Ludlow Associates (PLA) /Olympic Water and Sewage Inc. (OWSI) five -year extension application exacerbate threats to public health or safety, the scope of which were unknown to the BoCC during earlier DA negotiations: The Washington State Department of Ecology (WSDOE) Hazard Sites List as of February 27, 2013 ranks hazardous sites from 1 to 5 (where 1 is most hazardous and 5 is least). Pope Resources' leaking fuel tanks created a rank -2 hazardous site at 781 Walker Way, where the Port Ludlow waterworks yard is located, and a rank -3 hazardous site at the Golf Course Maintenance Facilities at 181 Cameron Drive. OWSI's principle Zone -A (North Bay) well #2 is failing and its replacement well #17 had to be abandoned after entering a region of contaminated soil. Soil samples exceed the Model Toxic Control Act (MTCA) by up to 30 times clean -up level standards. One consequence is that Zone -B water now has to be diverted to Zone -A to satisfy water needs East of Oak Bay Rd. These hazardous sites are a serious threat to public health or safety. 2. There has been a demographic shift in Port Ludlow since the DA was created. Originally Port Ludlow was considered a retirement and vacation community of "snowbirds" who would consume about 200 gallons of water per day per residence. Today, more residents remain full time and job markets are drawing younger families with children. Thus, more families approach the demographic norm, which requires 350 gallons per day per residence according to the Washington State Department of Health (WSDOH). Combining factors in paragraphs #1 and #2 urges prudent concern that any consequent water shortage due to lack of guaranteed water rights poses a serious threat to public health or safety. We are now at the mid -point of the extended 25 -year DA. The BoCC cannot assume for issues of public health or safety that data provided by PLA /OWSI and their consultants is always correct and unbiased (e.g., in 2010, OWSI's was required to withdraw its planned 25 percent tariff increase by Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission). Before approving the extension, the BoCC has an obligation of due diligence that requires a study by a qualified expert to determine the facts independently. The BoCC will thereby give surety that Port Ludlow has an uncontaminated and adequate water supply past 2025, fulfilling its DA public health or safety obligations under RCW 36.70B.170. --A PLA /OWSI desires to extend the vesting period for preliminary plat approvals relating to the PLA Property. Provided the DA is first amended to guarantee timely performance of the County's due diligence as discussed above, only then do I believe approval of PLA /OWSI's DA extension would be justified.

Two factors in Port Ludlow Associates (PLA) /Olympic Water and Sewage Inc. (OWSI) five -year extension application exacerbate threats to public health or safety, the scope of which were unknown to the BoCC during earlier DA negotiations: The Washington State Department of Ecology (WSDOE) Hazard Sites List as of February 27, 2013 ranks hazardous sites from 1 to 5 (where 1 is most hazardous and 5 is least). Pope Resources' leaking fuel tanks created a rank -2 hazardous site at 781 Walker Way, where the Port Ludlow waterworks yard is located, and a rank -3 hazardous site at the Golf Course Maintenance Facilities at 181 Cameron Drive. OWSI's principle Zone -A (North Bay) well #2 is failing and its replacement well #17 had to be abandoned after entering a region of contaminated soil. Soil samples exceed the Model Toxic Control Act (MTCA) by up to 30 times clean -up level standards. One consequence is that Zone -B water now has to be diverted to Zone -A to satisfy water needs East of Oak Bay Rd. These hazardous sites are a serious threat to public health or safety. 2. There has been a demographic shift in Port Ludlow since the DA was created. Originally Port Ludlow was considered a retirement and vacation community of "snowbirds" who would consume about 200 gallons of water per day per residence. Today, more residents remain full time and job markets are drawing younger families with children. Thus, more families approach the demographic norm, which requires 350 gallons per day per residence according to the Washington State Department of Health (WSDOH). Combining factors in paragraphs #1 and #2 urges prudent concern that any consequent water shortage due to lack of guaranteed water rights poses a serious threat to public health or safety. We are now at the mid -point of the extended 25 -year DA. The BoCC cannot assume for issues of public health or safety that data provided by PLA /OWSI and their consultants is always correct and unbiased (e.g., in 2010, OWSI's was required to withdraw its planned 25 percent tariff increase by Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission). Before approving the extension, the BoCC has an obligation of due diligence that requires a study by a qualified expert to determine the facts independently. The BoCC will thereby give surety that Port Ludlow has an uncontaminated and adequate water supply past 2025, fulfilling its DA public health or safety obligations under RCW 36.70B.170. PLA /OWSI desires to extend the vesting period for preliminary plat approvals relating to the PLA Property. Provided the DA is first amended to guarantee timely performance of the County's due diligence as discussed above, only then do I believe approval of PLA /OWSI's DA extension would be justified.

We urge the County Commissioners to change and enforce the requirements for further development of the Port Ludlow MPR to remedy a serious threat to our health and safety before extending the development agreement. Hazardous soil pollution has developed at two of the developer's maintenance sites within the drainage area to the aquifer. Some of the Olympic Water and Sewer company's wells have failed over the years while demand for water has increased with development. Further development should not be allowed until the water utility is returned to compliance and adequate provision made for further development. Respectfully submitted, Ernest G. and Frances B.

Ridgley [theseehawks @gmail.comj Sent: Saturday, March 30, 2013 4:50 PM To: jeffbocc Subject: Extension of Port Ludlow Development Agreement Dear Commissioners. The issue of extending the PLA build -out time another five years raises the issue of water availability for that many new residents. During the last three to four years, it has become known to all that PLA has some well - contamination problems that seriously impacts it's ability to supply an adequate amount of water for so large a community. Since the contamination caused by Pope Resources was not known until recently, we feel a complete study of the issue is imperative to a good decision. We have read the BOCC Hearing statement by Tony Simpson and are in complete agreement.

I might add, in addition, I strongly support Mr. Simpson and believe he has quite correctly articulated some serious concerns here in Port Ludlow re: this extension. I see some possible PLA mischief brewing here, particularly if PLA has some plans to unload the OWSI and leave new ownership sitting with the safety issues unaddressed. I am asking that the County Commissioners act in the best interests of the residents of Port Ludlow and not in the interests of those business's that are not fulfilling their obligations. As a final note, I would add that we own a home (purchased 9/06) that is now fully more than $100,000 under water. Values in Port Ludlow will take literally years to return. We definitely are not seeking any additional costs (or taxes) to add to our current woes. Nancy G.

Name is Tony Durham, VP of PLVC and resident of Port Ludlow for 19 years. 2. At PLVC General Meeting on 7 March, PLA (Diana Smeland) requested PLVC support for 5 yr. extension of the Development Agreement. 3. PLVC held Special Meeting on 14 March to consider request. 4. At meeting extensive comment and discussion over a 2 hr. period. 5. Almost without exception, everyone recognized that the economy since 2007 -08 had been weak, and not supported level of demand necessary to complete build out by originally planned May 2020 date. 6. Wide agreement that extension request was reasonable and deserving of community support. 7. Council approved preparation and transmittal of letter of support for extension request. 8. Council also required support letter to include 2 specific related issues /concerns that the County was urged to address as an integral part of the extension review /approval process. Those 2 issues are:- a. Adequacy of Water Rights: The adequacy of water rights at levels consistent with projected needs as construction and population approach and reach build-out levels must be assured. Two notes I. In the early years the population of Port Ludlow was very heavily composed of retirees and vacationers, many absent several months each year - hence low per household water usage estimated at 200 gallons /day (average). ii. Recently, more year round residents, and changes in demographics including some moderately younger residents and a sprinkle of families with children - higher per household water usage estimated at about 300 -350 gallons /day. Currently approved supply is 550 acre -feet. PLVC estimated need at build out is 580 acre -feet, i.e. need approx..30 additional acre -feet or an increase of 5-6%. This is not a huge increase, but it is NOT trivial - and availability needs to be ASSURED. b. Contamination Clean-Up Costs : There is known fuel (gasoline) contamination at 2 sites in Port Ludlow. The contamination requires on -going monitoring, clean -up and remediation, the costs of which must be borne by the contamination creators and not be transferred either directly or indirectly to the residents of Port Ludlow. L The first contamination site is located at the Waterworks Maintenance Yard near Well #17 on Walker Way. Well #17 was subsequently abandoned, but the site is also close to the older Well #2 which remains in use. ii. The second contamination site is at the Golf Course Maintenance Facility off Cameron Drive. 9. Bottom line:- The community widely supports the requested 5 year extension of the development agreement, but urges that County approval require updated and independent analysis of water needs and appropriate action to resolve both issues as an integral condition of that approval.
