Jefferson County Code Chapter 8.50 specifies procedures for establishing, altering or dissolving no shooting areas in specifically described unincorporated areas of Jefferson County, including initiation by petition filed by at least 20 elector - residents of each voting precinct in the area under consideration, or by a majority vote of the Board of County Commissioners; and 3. On April 24, 2013, a petition was received pursuant to JCC 8.50.050(1)(a) from residents of South Coyle Peninsula area located in voting Precinct #200, seeking to establish a no shooting area immediately north and adjacent to the South Coyle Peninsula No Shooting Area; and 4. The County Auditor, upon reviewing the petition, determined there were insufficient elector- residents living within the petition area for the purpose of initiating considering establishing or altering a no shooting area; and 5. A majority of the County Commissioners have determined there is sufficient interest to warrant considering an expansion to the boundaries of the South Coyle Peninsula no shooting area to potentially include areas from the original citizen petition containing smaller lots, many of which have homes; and 6. Properties within the original petition area include a number of larger, undeveloped lots managed by the Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR), where hunting continues to be appropriate; and 7. Public roads border the DNR areas, and a 200 foot no shooting buffer on those roads next to hunting areas would help protect the traveling public; and 8. Pursuant to JCC 8.50.050(1)(b), the County Commissioners may themselves propose the boundaries of a no shooting area; and 9. On November 10, 2014, the County sent letters to all Point No Point and Point Elliott Treaty tribes pursuant to JCC 8.50.050, inviting the tribes to identify their concerns and inviting their participation regarding the potential expansion of the South Coyle Peninsula No Shooting Area; and ALTERNATIVE 1 —DNR land excluded Ordinance No. 12- 1208 -14 Re: South Coyle Peninsula No Shooting Area 10.

JEFFERSON COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA REQUEST TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: Philip Morley, County Administrator DATE: December 8, 2014 % RE: Public Hearing re: Two Alternative Ordinances for Expanding the South Coyle Peninsula No Shooting Area STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) will hold a Public Hearing to accept testimony on two alternative ordinances for expanding the South Coyle Peninsula No Shooting Area. ANALYSIS: On April 24, 2013, a petition was received pursuant to JCC 8.50.050(1)(a) from residents of South Coyle Peninsula area located in voting Precinct #200, seeking to establish a no shooting area immediately north of Zalatched Point Road and Coyle Road, and adjacent to the existing South Coyle Peninsula No Shooting Area, thereby expanding the existing South Coyle Peninsula No Shooting Area. The County Auditor, upon reviewing the petition, determined there were insufficient elector- residents living within the petition area for the purpose of initiating considering establishing or altering a no shooting area. Pursuant to JCC 8.50.050(l)(b), the County Commissioners initiated consideration of the original expansion proposal, and initiated consideration of a second No Shooting Area expansion alternative to include the developed parts of the original expansion petition area, but exclude a number of larger, undeveloped lots managed by the Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR), where hunting may continue to be appropriate, while establishing a 200 foot no shooting buffer on those public roads bordering the DNR areas. Pursuant to state law (RCW 9.41300) and county code (Chapter 8.50 JCC) the county can restrict the discharge of firearms where there is a reasonable likelihood that humans, domestic animals, or property may be jeopardized. The public hearing is to take public testimony from all interested persons for or against the two alternatives for expanding the existing South Coyle Peninsula No Shooting Area. Written public comments will also be accepted any time up through the close of the public hearing, addressed to the BoCC at P.O. Box 1220, Port Townsend, WA 98368, or by e -mail at ieftbocc(r,coJefferson.wa.us. Maps and legal descriptions of the two alternatives will be available to view online at ww,,v. co.j efferson. wa, us. To promote active participation of residents and tribal interests, the hearing notice was published on November 19 and November 26, 2014. FISCAL IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION: Conduct the public hearing, deliberate on the oral and written testimony, and either adopt one of the alternative ordinances, or direct staff to prepare further amendments to one of the ordinances for future BoCC adoption.
