COMMISSIONER ANNOUNCEMENTS
Comp Plan Work: Brinnon Master Plan, Development Agreement and Zoning and Finalization of FEIS to go to board
for Approval. David W Johnson asked for a special meeting on October 21st in Brinnon for that. We need a September
overview meeting beforehand to address issues.
Kevin attended the Joint Land Use Study Meeting: It was very informative with a total of nine boards reviewing, all
very well versed, all input from their countless resources. Public Comment is open till August 28, 2015. Website is:
kiijlus.com. Will bring numbers from Joint Growth Management Steering Committee to you.
NAVY JOINT LAND USE STUDY
Joel Peterson
Assoc. Planner
Recommendations are: It's a community plan, NOT the Navy's Plan. We've come up with a tool set of
recommendations on how to avoid conflicts. See table on Page 9, it shows implementation phases. Funded by OEA,
and they have needs assessment, identified tools, have a report. Have a resolution that will be useful. Phase 2 could
say there could be projects or studies for additional OEA funding. Jefferson County doesn't have issues for a new
study. We may not pursue additional funding, we may in the future. Will finalize a report in September and accept
comments until August 28th. I will approach the BOCC for a resolution. Planning Commission is also welcome to
provide a letter.

OBSERVER COMMENTS
We need to know what power or authority the Navy has over our planning/building. Do they have full power?
Do we have a definition of what the Navy's mission is?
You mentioned Tribes, what was discussed?
You mentioned REPI Funding. Why can't it support compliance activity by the County?
Freight Overlays?
Bookmark for future, I'm worried about the single access to the Indian Island.
You didn't include the Planning Commission on your announcement of a tour. We need more notice.
We're meeting Tuesday in Paulsbo, and Bremerton on August 11, 2015.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE
Referring to July packet:
Broad Overview of Comprehensive Plan - including letter from BOCC regarding the new GMA deadline, with a
calendar, flowchart and 2016 Mandatory & Potential Updates and need for discussion of overview and updates of
Chapters. Carl would like us to review this Plan. Be ready to tackle first two Chapters for next month's meeting.
OBSERVER COMMENTS
If deadline is extended, can we consider making a recommendation sooner for the more urgent issue(s) of ecological
housing and jobs, etc., we need to change that sooner. This will be brought up next meeting, and other more urgent
things as well.
Simultaneously Code Amendments will occur before our CPA.
Is there thought of increasing our meeting schedule? Instead, follow this process: ONE and ONLY ONE Chapter
subject for each meeting.
PUBLIC COMMENT
None
FOLLOW-UP ITEMS
First two Chapters of Comp Plan Development and Updates, keeping in mind the community priorities and any
specific code issues.
