BUSINESS FROM COUNTY DEPARTMENTS:
Planning re: SEPA Threshold Determination; U.S. Fish & Wildlife: The
8/1/83 checklist or this proposal to construct a river water
intake structure, connected to existing gravity pipeline,
and river and floodplain sills at the Quilcene Fish
Hatchery was reviewed by Peter Friedman. Commissioner
Brown made a -motion to approve and sign the Proposed
Declaration of Non -Significance. Commissioner Pitts
seconded the motion. Unanimous.
County Authority on Forest Practices Permits: Mr. Friedman
stated that the ietter from William Faussett, ITT Rayonier,
questioning the County's authority to approve or dis-
approve permits was a result of a misunderstanding which
has now been cleared up. He reviewed the County's part
in the permit process.
Residential Setbacks, Shorelines Management Program:
The program specifies a minimum setback of 30 feet or a
setback at least equal to the setback of adjacent
structures, whichever is less. This was intended to
allow new structures to be in line with older, adjacent
structures which were built closer than 30 feet prior
to enactment of the Program. There have been three com-
plaints in a situation where adjacent structures are set
back more than 30 feet, but the applicant intends to
build at the 30 -foot setback, thereby possibly blocking
the view from adjacent structures. There was discussion
regarding possible amendment of the Program to require
a setback at least equal to adjacent structures when
adjacent structures exist. The decision was not to
amend the Program regarding setbacks. It was noted that
the issue is not related to shorelines protection, but
to blocking the view from adjacent structures. This
problem occurs County -wide, not just on shorelines, and
if it is to be dealt with by the County, an amendment to
the Building Code would be the appropriate mechanism.
Public
Works re: License to Use/Maintain Within County Right -of -Way;
8/1/83 K. Johnson: This license regarding afen_ce,�riveway
and vegetative screen encroaching onto Meredith Street
and the road adjacent to the Shine Plat was approved

sioner Pitts, seconded by Commissioner Brown. Unanimous.

8/1/83 statistical report, and noted that the closing of the
swimming pool means a $6,269.81 reduction in expendi-
tures and a $6,000.00 reduction in revenues for the year.

to keep comp time to a minimum. Personnel coverage at
Memorial Field on weekends, as well as personnel needs
-for parks and maintenance, were discussed. Charges for
use of Memorial Field were considered. Mr. Steurer

noted that acquisition of another mower may be necessary
in order to reduce transport time. Paul Walters' sug-
gestion that maintenance of Sea Cull Stadium be turned
over to the Little League/Babe Ruth groups was discussed.
There is a question whether volunteers would do adequate
maintenance. A new sign has been erected at the Multi -
Services Building.
Sheriff re: Speed Limits on Forest Service I Roads: Bill Booth
8/1/83 explained tha-F-ItHere is a pro b em with speeding at Seal
Rock and on other Federal land. The Sheriff's deputies
cannot enforce speed limits on Federal land unless the
County has set speed limits by resolution. The Board
approved Mr. Booth working with the Forest Service to
develop a list of roads and recommended speed limits,
and stated that they will also require a written request
from the Forest Service. In the meantime, they will
discuss the matter with the Prosecuting Attorney.
