Subject: Marijuana Grow on Marrowstone Island
Hello Patrick,
I am a am island resident opposed to the newly proposed marijuana grow.This is not an agricultural use envisioned by
any of us when we purchased property here.Turkeys, strawberries, chickens,goats, cows, horses-traditional farm
crops and animals were quite expected when we signed off on understanding that this was a rural ag area. None of
these uses require total surround 8 foot fencing and 24/7 lighting.The science on marijuana is incomplete at best in its
effects on human beings.What knowledge does the county have about the long term effects of large scale marijuana
grows in moderately developed mixed use rural areas over the long haul? Looking at the micro economy of
Marrowstone and the emerging economy of Jefferson County- how many marijuana grows make sense?What criterion
is in place to help determine siting?What vetting is done on those who are investing in the product, managing the
production and involved in its shipment and marketing. (The proposed grow on the south end of the island was put in
process by a party who seemed to have no awareness or concern for even the most basic issues of land use and
neighborhood.)
Marrowstone is a unique sub community of the county-with citizens deeply dedicated to creating and maintaining a
sustainable, mutually respectful, supportive and collaborative life together. Such an effort is not easy, but one worthy of
encouragement. In the long run the county will be far stronger for being a quilt of distinct,flourishing neighborhoods
literally rooted in healthy land use. While the state of WA legalized marijuana, it does not follow that an economically,
socially healthy county community is enhanced by cultivating this commodity.

Subject: 9272 Flagler Rd Nordland marijuana grow
Dear Mr Hopper,
I am writing to you to voice my negative opinion on this marijuana grow operation. This is a small community
and it should stay that way. The property tax structure is such that inserting a commercial venture may
increase our already high taxes as compared to other districts within the county At the same time, we may lose
valuation of our properties.There are many other places county wide that would be more suitable for this type
on operation.
Kindest regards,

Subject: Marijuana Farm and Processing plant at 9272 Flagler Road
Mr Hopper,
We recently bought property on Marrowstone Is. and one of the buying points was the peaceful, friendly, crime free
nature of the Island. We are admittedly apposed to "any" grow or retail marijuana operation anywhere on the island.
We also consider the water source precious and irreplaceable.The Island has previously suffered its ground water
source after one individual purchased multiple properties to drill several wells for a golf course... lets not make the same
mistake again.
Sincerely,

Associate Planner for Jefferson County WA, Pat Hopper
This is to follow upon my call in to your office today about my and my neighbors here on Marrowstone Island
about the proposed "Marijuana Farm and Processing Plant" at 9272 Flagler Rd. Most (if not all) of us were not
made aware of this operation until reading about it in last Wednesday's PT Leader or on our Marrowstone
Island net on the days following. I with other of my neighbors have concerns about the size of this operation
and it's effects on our island and the environment, as we were a few years ago when we attended meetings when
a similar operation was proposed for Gybe Ho Rd. I would also like to express my concerns about what seems
to me and others here as a surreptitious introduction of this enterprise.
Please respond and help us to get a hearing to be able to voice our concerns and to get some answers.
