DISCUSSION re: House Bill 2308: County Administrator Philip Morley provided a
copy of House Bill 2308. He explained that this proposed bill intends to close the door on commercial
timber harvest inside Master Planned Resorts (MPR), unless it is tied to a land conversion such as a
residential home or the addition of new amenities. The bill is a result of Representative Kevin Van de
Wege's efforts to address the Port Ludlow situation where open space in that MPR was harvested.
The proposed bill would ensure that open spaces inside an MPR would remain that way. County staff
and citizens have been looking at certain aspects of the bill that may affect forestry practices of other
MPRs in Washington State, such as Suncadia.
An audience member, David Jurca, who was given permission to speak, stated that he emailed proposed
verbiage to the County Administrator and the Commissioners that would address the concerns of
Suncadia and the Washington State Department of Natural Resources. He urged the Commissioners to
support the general idea of House Bill 2308 with the understanding that there will be further revisions in
the future.
The meeting was recessed at 10:15 a.m. and reconvened at 11:02 a.m. with all three
Commissioners present.
