Page 2 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of February 22, 2000 COUNTY DEPARTMENT BRIEFINGS/BUSINESS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Director's Update: Director of Community Development A1 Scalf reported on the following: The Port Ludlow Development Agreement hearing will be heard by the Board and not the Planning Commission. There is an open position on the Planning Commission from the 2nd Commissioner District. Applicants from the Tri Area are encouraged to apply for this position. There was a Superior Court motion for reconsideration of the Lakeside Asphalt Batch Plant decision filed in court on Friday. There is still the possibility for an appeal of the decision. The Brinnon Sub-area Planning Group is meeting this week at the school library. GRANT APPLICA TION to Complete the Shoreline Master Program Amendments; Coastal Zone Management: This grant application is for a maximum of $40,000 in funding for the preparation of development regulations for the Shoreline Master Program. The following changes were made to the grant application since the Board reviewed it: 1) drafting of ESA regulations that integrate with the Shoreline Management Program; 2) Minor typographical and grammar changes; 3) Language was updated to reflect that this is Phase 3 of the process; and 4) Tables and graphs have been added. Commissioner Huntingford asked when the project must be completed if the grant is received? Warren Hart reported that the contract period is from July 1, 2000 to June 30, 2001. The discussion turned to the process and time frame for the work on the draft development regulations and regulations to address the Federal 4(d) rule. Warren Hart reported that there is not a cash match for this grant. The match is "in kind" from staff support. Commissioner Huntingford feels that adding more work to the Department's workload will not get the work currently scheduled done, and he doesn't support this grant application right now. Warren Hart noted that this grant will work to the County's advantage for integrating the development regulations with the Shoreline Program and it will provide funding for the public process that is required. Commissioner Huntingford stated that the State Shoreline rules are not finalized yet and he feels it will be hard for the County to do work on regulations until the State rules are completed. Warren Hart noted that the County has a strategy for working with the State regulations when they are issued. Later in the Day: Chairman Wojt and Commissioner Huntingford had a conference call with Commissioner Harpole regarding this grant application. Commissioner Harpole moved to approve and have the Chair sign the necessary grant application paperwork. Chairman Wojt seconded the motion and called for a vote on it. Commissioner Harpole and Chairman Wojt voted for the motion. Commissioner Huntingford voted against the motion. The motion carried.
