Lack of jobs paying living wages places housing out of reach for workforce and those in poverty. HS HSG#1 Barbara Morey Address housing needs for everyone, but those with fewer means is more urgent. Don't want to lose historic families, youth, farmers, artisans/trades people, service sector. HSG#2 inspires me most because housing needs are diverse--must create variety of innovative solutions. Love the Land Trust low income housing project for incubator farm plots for aspiring farmers. HS LN HSG#1 Katy McCoy increase density in selected areas and support shared septic system-operated by county HS LN HSG#1 Scott Freeman HSG2.0 "Promote a variety of affordable housing choices throughout the County through the use of innovative land use practices, development standards, design techniques, and building permit requirements is most important. HS HSG#2 HNG#2 is most important because affordable housing is a critical need HS HSG#2 Love term "innovative" used in HSG2.0 - we need more HS HSG#2 Most of the housing goals are often ignored. There is far too much difficulty with out-of-the-box problem-solving. More latitude is needed to encourage innovative experimental thinkers HS HSG#2 Study alternatives without judgement. A tent looks pretty good to someone who has been sleeping on a park bench. Costs of treating septic for homes and businesses not on the grid is high. County should innovate and fund/support pilot projects that identify new ways to treat septic outflows cheaper and more efficient. HS UT HSG#2 Philip Vogelzang All Housing Goals are important, Especially #4: Encourage development of housing for people with special needs HS OT HSG#4 have limited housing units for people with special needs compared to the need. Dove house turned away 191 households in the past fiscal year. County has 3rd highest # of homeless vets. Need a full time 24/7 shelter with support services that include resident "life skills coaches" social workers. Should be self-governed . Former Union Bank on Sims Way could be an option.

EN EGN#8 Scott Freeman Fish and wildlife habitat are natural systems that in the most cost effective way, protect our water supplies, protect against natural disasters and preserve natural resources we depend upon. They also help drive tourism economies and natural resource dependent economies, which if managed appropriately, can exist together. Furthermore, these habitats make up the views capes we're known for in Jefferson County. If we protect fish and wildlife habitat, we reap rewards on many fronts in the most cost effective way possible. EN ENG#12 Lucas Hart ENG#2,3,6,8,13, and 14 stand out. It is important to allow development along shorelines, protect air quality. #13 "Protect aquifer recharge areas from depletion" is important because of the quality of local water (two for the same reason) #8 "Protect habitability, environmental quality, and natural beauty from adverse impacts of development" is important because preserving natural resources and current quality of life EN ENG#2,3,6 ,13,14 Add the retention of agriculture to #8 as it is necessary to marry ag with preservation, as it keeps a growing population fed and resilient and sustainable. Add "agricultural functionality or potential" after environmental quality ENG8.0: "protect habitability, environmental quality, and natural beauty of JC from the adverse impacts of development with respect to view sheds and noise and mitigate impacts based on the conditions" is most important. Don't sacrifice the environment for jobs EN ED ENG#8 ENG#9 and 10 " Ensure landslide and erosion hazards are appropriately designated and that measures implemented to protect health and safety for these areas. AND Minimize seismic risk to life and property on new and existing structures is most important to me.

Tourists are not only attracted to wild areas, but to communities that seem to have found answers in how to thrive and take care of the environment at the same time. Hope and inspiration will always be a good sell! ED NR EDG#1 Katy McCoy 2) Targeted Industry Program. The reason this attracts me is that every industry has unique needs. No one-size- fits-all-program will ever work for everyone. Makes total sense to prioritize certain industries (your list looks good) and start working on individualized to prioritize certain industries (your list looks good) and start working on individualized solutions. This sets a more flexible stage for good creative work. There’s so much more that can be accomplished while still sticking within GMA guidelines. ED EDG#2 Katy McCoy EDG#3 " Establish a Targeted Industry Program that promotes Jefferson County's strengths, advantages and potential in the following industries…" is most important to me ED EDG#3 EDG#3 "Establish targeted industry program that promotes county's strengths, advantages, and potential in industries" stands out because it has the most opportunity to build on strength ED EDG#3 EDG#3 "Establish targeted industry program that promotes county's strengths, advantages, and potential in industries" stands out because this needs to happen in multiple areas, not just Port Townsend. ED EDG#3 Add Local Food and Agriculture to EDG#3, ED EDG#3 Ag, value-added, marine trades, tourism are logical here ED EDG#3 Phased infrastructure development. I mention this because as an owner of Chimacum Corner Farmstand, it is frustrating how so many of the roadblocks we encounter in trying to build our business all come back to septic limitations. That and the lack of housing for our employees which again circles back to septic limitations in the surrounding areas. What we are trying to do is consistent with the community’s rural character and history. We're supporting local farmers who are creating rural jobs and goods while stewarding the land. Seems to me this is just the type of economic industry the GMA envisioned. ED UT EDG#3 Katy McCoy Change EDG#3 to Establish a targeted industry program that finds individualized creative solutions to promote Jefferson County’s strengths, advantages, and potential in the following industries. (so as to emphasize the values of flexibility and creativity in solving problems) ED EDG#3 Katy McCoy EDG#4 and 5 "Coordinate federal, state, and local economic development groups to promote a healthy economic environment. AND Provide regulatory incentives to encourage and facilitate economic opportunities." is most important to me. ED LN EDG#4,5 I would change the 6th goal to read: Encourage and support economic development for both rural and urban lands. (It's hard now how worded to understand the intent of the goal) ED EDG#6 Katy McCoy Economic Development 3 Appendix E Specific Goal-Related Comments by Comprehensive Plan Element See Appendix H for Element Code Table Comment Element #1 Element #2 Element (Other) Fitness Test Element Code Actionable/How to?/Delete/Change?Notes Username (Speak Up) Disagree with LNG#1: " Make Jeffco best place to live, work and conduct business." because too many people will move in. LN LNG#1 LNG#1, 6,7,18 are important to me: ensure consistency between state and local planning policies and regulations, foster home-based businesses or cottage industries, foster economic development in rural areas which is small-scale recreations or tourist-related and relies on a rural setting LN LNG#1,6,7 LNG#2,3,6,9 are really important because I like building an industry that is already thriving rather than diversifying more by bringing in more industries. No to "high technology" industry. Our county needs salt of the earth type working folks, not new money workers. They exploit! #9 is also very important to enhance Jeffco's overall quality of life! LN ED LNG#2,3,6 ,9 Remove high technology, emphasize food production as a needed part of a sustainable economy (a pillar that supports a population foundation). Create more zoning space for food aggregation, processing, growing in rural areas LNG#23 to maintain Port Ludlow MPR viability as county's only existing MPR is most important to me LN LNG#23 LNG#27 and 28 are the same thing" Improve information base on the uses, existing conditions, and vulnerability of surface waters. And To protect and enhance the water quality of surface waters." LN LNG#27,2 8 LNG#6,15,16 "foster home-based businesses or cottage industries to provide economic and employment opportunities outside rural village centers. Support opportunities to provide variety of affordable housing. ID and designate lands for both public purposes and essential public facilities." stand out the most to me. LN LNG#6,15, 16 Disagree with LNG#8: "promote development of tourist and tourist- related activities as a provider of employment and business opportunities." because too much transient population, second homes, lack of rentals for working class LN ED LNG#8 Improve bike/public transportation option on Beaver Valley Road LN TR LRG#17 NRG#1,3, 9 are most important to me: encourage conservation of resource lands and sustainable natural resource based activities, conserve and protect forest resource lands for long-term economic use, preserve water quality and quantity by regulating mineral extraction activities. NR NRG#1,3,9 Conserve and protect the ag land base and its associated economy and lifestyle is is important because I am a farmer NR NRG#10 NRG#2,4,9,10 are important. 9 and 10 "Preserve water resource quality and quantity by regulated mineral extraction and conserve and protect agricultural land base and its economy and lifestyle"" are most important because with climate change, the need for local food and a stable water supply are critical NR LN NRG#2,4,9 ,10 Land Use and Rural 4 Appendix E Specific Goal-Related Comments by Comprehensive Plan Element See Appendix H for Element Code Table Comment Element #1 Element #2 Element (Other) Fitness Test Element Code Actionable/How to?/Delete/Change?Notes Username (Speak Up) OSG#2 is most important to me because I appreciate the education and health benefits of public spaces OS OSG#2 Trails are a good start to creating a walkable, bikeable community OS OSG#3,4 OSG#2,3,4 especially 3 and 4 "encourage multiple use of open spaces and wildlife corridors. Develop and maintain public park and recreational facilities that are responsive to the needs and interests of residents and visitors And Establish and maintain a county-wide trail system that meets population needs and open space objectives" are important because wildlife corridors are more important with the changing climate, trails are key for encouraging more biking/walking OS TR OSG#2,3,4 My wife and I bicycled from Port Townsend to San Diego in 2014 and the most dangerous part of that entire 2400 mile trip was the stretch of Highway 20 between Discovery Bay and Adelma Beach. It is a very dangerous section of the otherwise beautiful and safe Olympic Discovery Trail that is used by a lot of bikers and needs to be addressed. TR TRG#1 Jon Garrison As small business owners at the Chimacum intersection, we see first hand how important a safe, efficient intersection that moves both motorized and non-motorized people and goods is. Chimacum is the hub of our local food movement. Helping connect our farmers with those who travel thru the intersection would really help grow our local ag community. TR TRG#1 Philip Vogelzang TRG#2 " Promote a coordinated and integrated public transportation system available to all residents, guests and those without transportation options" because with aging population, so many outlying areas are not receiving service TR TRG#2 TRG#2,3,4,9,10 are all key. #2 and 4 are related and highest priority "Promote a coordinated and integrated public transportation system And encourage land use types, mixes, and densities that promote efficient multi-modal transportation systems." Public transportation can reduce greenhouse gasses and help affordability. TR EN TRG#2,3,4 ,9,10 Improve transit system by increasing frequency of runs. Consider increasing taxes on gasoline or parking to fund transit Transportation Open Space, Parks and Recreation 5 Appendix E Specific Goal-Related Comments by Comprehensive Plan Element See Appendix H for Element Code Table Comment Element #1 Element #2 Element (Other) Fitness Test Element Code Actionable/How to?/Delete/Change?Notes Username (Speak Up) TRG#2 and 4 " Identify and develop an interconnected countywide network of natural and planned open spaces AND Establish and maintain public county- wide trail system that meets population needs and open space objectives" is most important to me because Kitsap has a trail system that spans from one side of county to the other. Could Jefferson County have this too? TR TRG#2,4 What about a water trails map? future neds of fossil fuel-free transport TR TRG#3 TRG#3 and 11 are most important to me: provide safe, accessible and convenient routes, trails, parking, trailheads to promote use of non-motorized travel and integrated with other transportation forms, Develop transportation improvement program consistent with CP. TR TRG#3,11 TRG#4 is most important: "encourage land use types, mixes, and densities that promote efficient multi-modal transportation systems" because whenever I ride a Jeffco bus, there is 1-5 people on a bus that is for 50 or more people. This seems very inefficient TR TRG#4 Get smaller buses to save money considering the size of the ridership. TRG#5 " Provide additional roadway aesthetic features consistent with surrounding land use" is most important to me because biking or walking shoulders continued on Paradise Rd. TR TRG#5 TRG#3 and 8 "Provide safe, accessible and convenient routes, trails, parking, trail heads, to promote non-motorized travel that is integrated with other forms of transportation. Ensure transportation planning includes extensive opportunities for public involvement" is most important to me. Need more bike lanes, sidewalks, bike trail networking of the county. The people need input! TR TRG3,8 6 Appendix E Specific Goal-Related Comments by Comprehensive Plan Element See Appendix H for Element Code Table Comment Element #1 Element #2 Element (Other) Fitness Test Element Code Actionable/How to?/Delete/Change?Notes Username (Speak Up) UGA#1 "encourage balance of commercial and industrial uses for urban- scale and regional scale economic activities in UGA" is very valuable to support a working class and not a retirement community UGA ED UGA#1 Increase designation of commercial lands in appropriate areas with plenty of environmental requirements. Also allow for affordable high density housing near industrial areas and include parks UGA#1 and 2 "Encourage a balance of commercial and industrial uses for urban- scale and regional-scale economic activities within UGAs and Provide for the orderly development of urban land uses in urban growth areas consistent with the provision of adequate and feasible urban levels of public facilities and services" is most important to me UGA ED UGA#1,2 UGA#5: "encourage efficient multimodal transportation systems based on regional priorities and coordinated with county and city CP's" is really vague! UGA TR UGA#5 Would like to improve and expand recycling capabilities in our county. Recycling should be easy for people. Mixed recycling and residential pick up would help. Also great to recycle #5 plastics and clamshells. Plastic contributes to marine debris. Need more hazardous waste stations. UT UTG#7 Lucas Hart UTG#8 "Accommodate telecommunication technologies and service providers by allowing systems development consistent with the CP" is most important to me. UT UTG#8 UT#8 and 9 are most important to me: accommodate telecommunication tech and service providers by allowing systems consistent with the CP. UT UTG#8,9 Utilities Urban Growth Area 7
