cation or assembling of products or materials.
At present, the Nordland General Store serves as the commercial center
for the Island. A concession is operated at Fort Hagler State Park to serve
the needs of summer tourists. A larger, commercial center is located at
nearby Hadlock. Also, there are a number of business enterprises home-based
on the Island, but which conduct the major part of their operations elsewhere.
Examples include the Carl Johnson truck/freight firm, and Stevens Stage Lines.
Small logging or excavating contractors who maintain or store their equipment
on Marrowstone, but perform their work off the Island are similar examples.
There are no industrial developments on the Island.
GOALS
1. To provide for a level of commerce that is adequate for the needs of
Island residents and to a lesser degree summer tourists.
2. To insure that commercial development is located, designed, constructed
and operated in a desirable and well-planned manner.
POLICIES
I. Many residents on the Island are retirement age. The opportunity should
exist for those who desire to supplement their retirement incomes through
home ttabusinesses. ivi*f
such as a beauty parlor, tax accounting, sign painting, etc. Home or
cottage businesses should: (a) employ no more than two persons outside
of the immediate family. (b) be contained within primary residential
structures or common outbuildings such as garages or barns; and (c) not -
affect the use, value, or enjoyment of adjacent areas or properties. '
2. Home-based businesses on the Island should: (a) be acces-o., to a prim-
ary idence, the
. '
and (b� ` theu/� value, 0� enjoyment
of adjacent properties.
3~ Intensive activites, other than "Ma and Pa" stores,
type home
' »
or cottage businesses, home-based businesses, personal services, and / ~
enterprises coincidential with agriculture or aquaculture production
should be considered incompatible with the rural character of the Island
and this plan.
4' activities are considered an urban and should not be
considered compatible with the goals and policies of this plan.
Strip commercial development along arterials leads to unnecessary traf-
fic congestion, automobile aCCidents^ proliferation of signs, and diminished
property values.
5. Commercial development should be located adjacent to exisitng commercial
areas near the Nordland Store in a block-like fashion.
6' Commercial development should provide sufficient off-street parking with
limited access, a separate off-street loading or delivery zone, adequate
screening or buffering from adjoining uses, and not create a
situation which would adversely affect the use, lue or enjoyment
of
adjacent areas or properties.
7. Commercial signs should follow the policies in the following section
entitled "Signs and Outdoor Advertising."

cation or assembling of products or materials.
At present, the Nordland General Store serves as the commercial center
for the Island. A concession is operated at Fort Flagler State Park to serve
the needs of summer tourists. A larger, commercial center is located at
nearby Hadlock. Also, there are a number of business enterprises home-based
on the Island, but which conduct the major part of their operations elsewhere.
Examples include the Carl Johnson truck/freight firm, and Stevens Stage Lines.
Small logging or excavating contractors who maintain or store their equipment
on Marrowstone, but perform their work off the Island are similar examples.
There are no industrial developments on the Island.
GOALS
I. To provide for a level of commerce that is adequate for the needs of
Island residents and to a lesser degree summer tourists.
2. To insure that commercial development is located, designed, constructed
and operated in a desirable and well-planned manner.
POLICIES
I. Many residents on the Island are retirement age. The opportunity should
exist for those who desire to supplement their retirement incomes through
home or cottage businesses. Home or cottage businesses are activities
such as a beauty parlor, tax accounting, sign painting, etc. Home or
cottage businesses should: (a) employ no more than two persons outside
of the immediate family; (b) be contained within primary residential
structures or common outbuildings such as garages or barns; and (c) not
affect the use, value, or enjoyment of adjacent areas or properties.
2. Home-based businesses on the Island should: (a) be accessory to a prim-
ary residence, and (b) not aversely affect the use, value, or enjoyment
of adjacent properties.
3. Intensive commercial activites, other than "Ma and Pa" type stores, home
or cottage businesses, home-based businesses, personal services, and
enterprises coincidential with agriculture or aquaculture production
should be considered incompatible with the rural character of the Island
and this plan.
4. Industrial activities are considered an urban land use and should not be
considered compatible with the goals and policies of this plan.
Strip commercial development along arterials leads to unnecessary traf-
fic congestion, automobile accidents, proliferation of signs , and diminished

Re:JEFCO#ZON17-00003IBLD17-00093
Dear Examiner Causseaux:
This letter is to express my opposition to the proposed permit for a Tier-3 Marijuana Production facility at 9272 Flagler
Rd.,Nordland,WA.
Marrowstone Island is a close-knit rural residential community,with only single-point access to mainland services.
Under the name Olympus Gardens LLC,applicant Austin Smith is seeking to establish a 10,000 square foot production
facility on land currently classified as rural residential.As an island resident and property owner,I would appreciate your
rigorous scrutiny re.potential impacts to both neighbors and the community as a whole.
The applicant has applied for a permit to operate the proposed facility as a Cottage Industry.Jefferson County code
describes the definition and purpose of a Cottage Industry as:
18.10.030(Definition)
"Cottage industry"means a commercial or manufacturing activity conducted in whole or in part in either the
resident's single-family dwelling unit or in an accessory building, but is of a scale larger than a home
occupation or home business.A cottage industry is a limited,small-scale commercial or industrial activity,
including fabrication, with limited retail sales,that can be conducted without substantial adverse impact on
the residential character in the vicinity.
18.20.170(Purpose)
(1)"Purpose.To provide for small-scale economic development activities on residential parcels, subordinate
to the primary residential use, if the administrator finds that such activities can be conducted without
substantial adverse impact on the residential environment and rural character in the vicinity.The scale and
intensity of cottage industries are typically greater than could be accommodated as a home business, but
less than would require a land use district designation of commercial or industrial."
Based upon the code references above,my specific objections include:
1. Both the scale and intended function of the proposed 10,000 square-foot building are out of character
with both the current and historical community,and would be incompatible with Marrowstone Island.At
10,000 square feet,the proposed building would be nearly six times the size of the applicant's 1700-ft.
house.Applicant Austin Smith is proposing an industrial-scale operation that does not begin to meet the
either the JEFCO or Marrowstone Island descriptions of a cottage industry. (Exhibits 1,2,3)
2. Data from existing Tier-3 operations describe single-harvest yields of approx. .0625 pounds of product per
square foot of illuminated growing area.'Assuming 8000-ft of grow area,some 500-lbs of product could
be expected from a single harvest.Current wholesale prices for marijuana product are averaging$1600 per
pound;or$800,000 per just one of the two annual harvests predicted by the applicant's agent Kevin
Coker.This scale of production could not possibly meet the definition of"limited"or"small scale"as
outlined in 18.10.030.
3. JEFCO 18.20.170(4a)specifies that"The cottage industry shall be operated by at least one full-time bona
fide resident...":At a 15 May MICA(Marrowstone community meeting) this spring,the applicant's agent
Kevin Coker stated that home owner(and license holder)Austin Smith intended to maintain his current
residence in the Seattle area;leaving others to manage his facility on at least a part-time basis.Based upon
this statement alone,the applicant's own representative is disqualifying this permit application.
4. Marrowstone Island's long-standing Community Development Plan(Exhibit 1)states"Intensive
commercial activities,other than Ma and Pa type... (are) considered incompatible with the rural character
of the Island."2 Note that nearly identical language is contained in the county's 18.10.030 Definition of
cottage industry.
5. Speaking from my own prior experience as an heirloom tomato farmer and with considerable experience in
greenhouse operations,I would challenge the applicant's claim(through his agent Coker)that noise
"would not be an issue."In my experience,all but the smallest greenhouses required continuous air
circulation for plant health,and I would expect a 10,000-ft.grow operation to require large high-volume
fans in near-continuous operation.Such equipment typically produces a steady rumble/roar that can be
both tiresome and distracting to anyone working inside or nearby,and would be out of place in a rural-
residential community. [JEFCO 18.20.170(4-S):vibration...noise,etc.]
6. Examples of cottage industries currently operating on Marrowstone Island include saw sharpening,wool
felting,knitting,blacksmithing,and pottery. I would hold any of these"Ma&Pa"operations as real-
world examples of bona-fide cottage industry.
7. Placing a permanent and single-use building of the size and type the applicant has requested would create a
dangerous precedent for Marrowstone Island.Marrowstone is a unique community where residents are on
record as being opposed to commercial development beyond that which was"grandfathered in"during
previous and recorded planning sessions.
I am unaware of a construction permit having been issued at the applicant's Flagler road property,yet it should be noted
that several large shipments of building materials and equipment have recently been delivered to the site.While such a
preemptive move might be considered a good-faith business practice by some,I would respectfully request that the
applicant receive no special consideration regarding either lost time or expense should his permit be denied.
Please note that a denial on your part will in no way deprive the applicant from enjoying his new home.I do,however,
firmly believe that the applicant's request for permit fails to meet the tests of subheadings a-e,and especially the(j)
"merit and value"test of JEFCO 18.40.5303;and respectfully request that the application be denied.
Respectfully,
Lee M.Does

Re:JEFCO#ZON17-00003IBLD17-00093
Dear Examiner Causseaux:
This letter is to express my opposition to the proposed permit for a Tier-3 Marijuana Production facility at 9272 Flagler
Rd.,Nordland,WA.
Marrowstone Island is a close-knit rural residential community,with only single-point access to mainland services.
Under the name Olympus Gardens LLC,applicant Austin Smith is seeking to establish a 10,000 square foot production
facility on land currently classified as rural residential.As an island resident and property owner,I would appreciate your
rigorous scrutiny re.potential impacts to both neighbors and the community as a whole.
The applicant has applied for a permit to operate the proposed facility as a Cottage Industry.Jefferson County code
describes the definition and purpose of a Cottage Industry as:
18.10.030(Definition)
"Cottage industry"means a commercial or manufacturing activity conducted in whole or in part in either the
resident's single-family dwelling unit or in an accessory building, but is of a scale larger than a home
occupation or home business.A cottage industry is a limited,small-scale commercial or industrial activity,
including fabrication, with limited retail sales,that can be conducted without substantial adverse impact on
the residential character in the vicinity.
18.20.170(Purpose)
(1)"Purpose.To provide for small-scale economic development activities on residential parcels, subordinate
to the primary residential use, if the administrator finds that such activities can be conducted without
substantial adverse impact on the residential environment and rural character in the vicinity.The scale and
intensity of cottage industries are typically greater than could be accommodated as a home business, but
less than would require a land use district designation of commercial or industrial."
Based upon the code references above,my specific objections include:
1. Both the scale and intended function of the proposed 10,000 square-foot building are out of character
with both the current and historical community,and would be incompatible with Marrowstone Island.At
10,000 square feet,the proposed building would be nearly six times the size of the applicant's 1700-ft.
house.Applicant Austin Smith is proposing an industrial-scale operation that does not begin to meet the
either the JEFCO or Marrowstone Island descriptions of a cottage industry. (Exhibits 1,2,3)
2. Data from existing Tier-3 operations describe single-harvest yields of approx. .0625 pounds of product per
square foot of illuminated growing area.'Assuming 8000-ft of grow area,some 500-lbs of product could
be expected from a single harvest.Current wholesale prices for marijuana product are averaging$1600 per
pound;or$800,000 per just one of the two annual harvests predicted by the applicant's agent Kevin
Coker.This scale of production could not possibly meet the definition of"limited"or"small scale"as
outlined in 18.10.030.
3. JEFCO 18.20.170(4a)specifies that"The cottage industry shall be operated by at least one full-time bona
fide resident...":At a 15 May MICA(Marrowstone community meeting) this spring,the applicant's agent
Kevin Coker stated that home owner(and license holder)Austin Smith intended to maintain his current
residence in the Seattle area;leaving others to manage his facility on at least a part-time basis.Based upon
this statement alone,the applicant's own representative is disqualifying this permit application.
4. Marrowstone Island's long-standing Community Development Plan(Exhibit 1)states"Intensive
commercial activities,other than Ma and Pa type... (are) considered incompatible with the rural character
of the Island."2 Note that nearly identical language is contained in the county's 18.10.030 Definition of
cottage industry.
5. Speaking from my own prior experience as an heirloom tomato farmer and with considerable experience in
greenhouse operations,I would challenge the applicant's claim(through his agent Coker)that noise
"would not be an issue."In my experience,all but the smallest greenhouses required continuous air
circulation for plant health,and I would expect a 10,000-ft.grow operation to require large high-volume
fans in near-continuous operation.Such equipment typically produces a steady rumble/roar that can be
both tiresome and distracting to anyone working inside or nearby,and would be out of place in a rural-
residential community. [JEFCO 18.20.170(4-S):vibration...noise,etc.]
6. Examples of cottage industries currently operating on Marrowstone Island include saw sharpening,wool
felting,knitting,blacksmithing,and pottery. I would hold any of these"Ma&Pa"operations as real-
world examples of bona-fide cottage industry.
7. Placing a permanent and single-use building of the size and type the applicant has requested would create a
dangerous precedent for Marrowstone Island.Marrowstone is a unique community where residents are on
record as being opposed to commercial development beyond that which was"grandfathered in"during
previous and recorded planning sessions.
I am unaware of a construction permit having been issued at the applicant's Flagler road property,yet it should be noted
that several large shipments of building materials and equipment have recently been delivered to the site.While such a
preemptive move might be considered a good-faith business practice by some,I would respectfully request that the
applicant receive no special consideration regarding either lost time or expense should his permit be denied.
Please note that a denial on your part will in no way deprive the applicant from enjoying his new home.I do,however,
firmly believe that the applicant's request for permit fails to meet the tests of subheadings a-e,and especially the(j)
"merit and value"test of JEFCO 18.40.5303;and respectfully request that the application be denied.
Respectfully,
Lee M.Does
