Highlights from Monday’s Commissioner Meeting February 24, 2009
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The following
comments were made by citizens: a citizen
said that he thinks if the Board takes an item
off the Consent Agenda to be revised that the
revised item should be carried over to the
next week’s agenda; a person stated her
opinion that planners should not review
building permits especially for decks and
fences; a citizen stated that he thinks it would
save paper if the annual inventory of
capitalized assets was posted on the
webpage and made available before the
Board’s meeting; a person offered
suggestions for getting rid of the rats in the
Courthouse and noted that he is concerned
that they could start an electrical fire in the
walls; a citizen said that he thinks the State
DOE has already made up their minds about
the SMP and they want the entire shoreline of
Jefferson County to become a critical area;
and a person stated that the Board needs to
have a meeting with County residents and
listen to what they have to say about
improving the local economy.

as prepared by the County Auditor is a true and

DCD FEE ORDINANCE: On February 17 the
Board held a public hearing on a proposed
ordinance to increase the fee schedule in the
Department of Community Development. The
Board asked several questions regarding the
permit intake process and circumstances when
a building project must go to a planner for
review. Staff gave several examples explaining
the time and work involved for several fees.
After further discussion, the Board approved the
ordinance.
BRINNON MPR AGREEMENTS: In 2008, the
Board approved a Comprehensive Plan
amendment submitted by the Statesman
Corporation to designate a conceptional Brinnon
Master Planned Resort. A programatic EIS was
done for the CP amendment. Statesman has
submitted an application for a development
agreement and a zoning code to implement the
MPR. The Responsible Official is requiring an
EIS at the project level including peer review.
DCD advertised an RFP, interviewed five firms,
and choose ESA Adolfson to do the peer review.
The Board approved a contract with ESA
Adolfson and a contract with Statesman for the
payment of ESA Adolfson’s services.
UPDATE ON SMP PROCESS: The Shoreline
Master Program process was reviewed to date
and five key concerns from public comments
about the draft document were discussed in
detail. The Planning Commission has submitted
a request for a three month extension of their
portion of the SMP process. Concerns have
been raised about the request because of the
DOE grant budget timeline. The County
Administrator recommended that the Board
delay taking action on the request until DCD can
give the Board a recommendation on a
combined decision.
