DRAFT MINUTES Jefferson County Board of Commissioners Special Meeting — Monday, June 4, 2018 Jefferson County Courthouse — Superior Court Courtroom 1820 Jefferson Street, Port Townsend, WA CALL TO ORDER: Chair David Sullivan called the meeting to order at the appointed time in the presence of Commissioner Kathleen Kier and Commissioner Kate Dean. HEARING re: 2018 Comprehensive Plan Periodic Review and Unified Development Code Amendments: Department of Community Development Associate Planner Joel Peterson gave a presentation on the 2018 Comprehensive Plan Periodic Review and Unified Development Code Amendments. Chair Sullivan opened the hearing for public testimony. James Fritz, Port Townsend: He stated he is one of the few people here tonight that actually worked on the Comprehensive Plan 20-25 years ago. Dozens of people were here month after month and everything they did was thrown out. The County Commissioners ran through whatever they wnted. The whole County Comprehensive Plan was made as complex as possible so that nobody would be able to do anything, frankly. As a result,the problems we are having today, go way back 20 years. We have hundreds of people who are homeless, including a little over 100 children. Our Economic Development Council said we need a thousand high-paying jobs, which pays at least$25 an hour,because you need $50,000 to be even lower-middle class. We are losing $5-8 Million in taxes because we don't have enough retail sales and not enough high-paying businesses to employ people. If we had another 1,000 people getting$50,000 a year, they would be going to restaurants and eating out. The money would be put into the economy. People making$25,000 - $30,000 per year have to pinch pennies so they go out to Walmart because they have no choice. As a result, you get a downward spiral. Jefferson County will become a dog patch if we're not careful. What do we need? Manufacturing and partnering we need to really stress. Manufacturing in southwestern Washington pays $25 an hour, an average of$50,000 per year. People in Jefferson County do manufacturing, especially value-added manufacturing for agriculture. In the farming industry,most farmers work 80 hours per week and their wives work another job to support them. They really need to have as little forms and red tape as possible because after you work 12 hours per day, they simply don't have the time or energy. He stated his recommendations are on a handout he submitted. We've got to make government user-friendly. The purpose of government is not to beat people over the head, it's to make life easier for us. When you are doing things, consider that. We better prepare for the next bad recession. Jefferson County has had a lot more recessions in our times, than there has been good times. Thanks. Walter Moa, Port Townsend: He stated it is a pleasure to speak before the Board of Commissioners and the people who run the County. He is speaking today regarding Discovery Bay. Discovery Bay has Page 1 Commissioner's Special Meeting Minutes of June 4, 2018 ! ` historically been very important to this County, before the County was ac y formed. We had County events that started by the old sawmill in Discovery Bay where the condominiums now are. It was a very large sawmill with up to 1,000 men working there. At their peak was during the American Civil War time and was the largest mill on the Pacific Coast, which really developed Discovery Bay. We are currently working on a cemetery renewal in Discovery Bay that they have been at for several years. It is getting to the point where they will be submitting for Jefferson County Cemetery District#4. Some of the graves in there go back to the time of that sawmill and even before that. That was a major occurrence. The second biggest occurrence occurred by his father in 1946-1956. At that point in time, he had a sawmill that was located in Discovery Bay about a mile towards Quilcene from Fat Smitty's. You don't really see it, it was on a pond there. It ran about 150 men. He was the third largest employer in the private sector in Jefferson County. Second to him was Buck Mountain in Quilcene and Crown Zellerback Pope. At that time, Discovery Bay was a very busy place. He grew up there and they had numerous commercial businesses. They had all the services in that area. It was a time that it was really good for the people, there were younger and older people and they had economic health, something we need. We currently are trying to build a larger, value-added view, self-expanded, to a large motel which would catch the people on coming on 104 and 101. Thank you very much. Marilyn Showalter, Port Ludlow: She stated she is here to urge the Commission to interject at least one mention of marine plastics, plastics in the tidelands. Specifically to limit the commercial implantation into the tidelands of plastic or other man-made materials that can enter into the food supply of fish, wildlife, or humans, or that would otherwise degrade fish and wildlife. Plastics is a worldwide concern and a special concern in the Northwest. Plastics enters the food supplies, it smells like food to some birds, which then eat it and become malnourished. Plastics can float away and form islands bigger than Rhode Island. They are ingested by whales and other mammals, sometimes fatally. A special concern here in Jefferson County is the introduction of thousands of PVC tubes. By thousands, I mean 40,000 tubes per acre in geoduck aquaculture. These tubes are then ground down by sand and wind and the tiny particles are ingested by the sand community. Other tubes float away when they escape their nets. This issue was raised fairly late in the Comprehensive Planning process, and probably the main reason it hasn't been addressed. The only argument she heard doing that part of the process, that by mentioning plastics, other concerns by implication,may be excluded. As a professional drafter of legislation for many years, this is a misguided argument, especially in this context. There are many other places in the comprehensive draft that have broad statements concerning the environment and the economy. There are many places where more specific things are mentioned. Stormwater is mentioned 58 times in the Comprehensive Plan. Plastics are no part of that. Bluffs are mentioned 9 times. The reason we are concerned about stormwater and bluffs, is that we are worried about upland particles, especially from stormwater, washing down into marine waters. Well plastic is purposely put into the marine waters. We need to pay attention. Aquaculture is mentioned 25 times, if you can mention aquaculture 25 times, mention once the risk of plastics and don't kill the goose that laid the golden eggs, which is our tidelands. Kathleen Waldron, Nordland: She stated she is submitting a letter from Patricia Earnest who could not be here tonight. She read from a statement she submitted. (See hearing record) Carol Gonnella, Nordland: She read from a statement she submitted. (See hearing record) She stated she Page 2 Commissioner's Special Meeting Minutes of June 4, 2018 A has over 325 petitions signed by residents living in rural residential areas and she will make copies of those to give to the Planning Department by the end of week. Thank you very much. She submitted a letter from Marty and Patricia Iverson. John Comstock, Nordland: He thanked the Commissioners for listening to their concerns. He stated his concern reflects what Ms. Gonnella previously stated. He read from a statement he submitted. (See hearing record) Cindy Jayne, Port Townsend: She stated she is speaking on behalf of the Local 20/20 Plan and Preparedness Group and they would like to thank the Planning Commission, the Board of County Commissioners and staff for considering Climate Change,there are many records throughout the Comprehensive Plan. Given the challenges, as you all know, we as a County as well as the world are already facing and will continue to experience through climate change. The most fiscally responsible thing we can do as a County is to be aware of those challenges and begin preparing. There are changes in the Comprehensive Plan, and they appreciate that. They are pleased to see items related to monitoring our groundwater supplies, including monitoring for saltwater intrusion, sea level rise, encouraging electric vehicles and encouraging energy conservation and renewable energy as well as other changes. Thank you for those additions. She stated she will submit her comments with further detail. There are some opportunities for the County to continue to directly play the part with its own actions on energy reduction and climate preparedness. In the language regarding electric vehicles, it states to encourage the use of electric powered and land-based vehicles by residents, businesses and visitors in convergent to efficient electric heating in existing and new buildings to mitigate and reduce air pollution. There are other sections that do refer to resource conservation in public facilities, it seems like this policy could directly state that municipalities should also be encouraged to use UV's and other things like ductless heat pumps. In the Environment Action Plan at the end of the chapter, it has a nice section on greenhouse gases and Climate Change which states to encourage businesses and homeowners to reduce building energy and water consumption. It may be a good place to add to that some actions the County could do directly to both reduce energy and water usage. Regarding the capital facilities utility section including the Six-Year Capital Facilities Plan, in reviewing that section, they did not see anything that specifically addressed, considering potential Climate Change impacts on capital facilities and integrating that into the plan, nor including in the financial analysis piece discussed there, the consideration of the cost savings from energy efficiency improvements. They recommend those be added. She will submit her comments directly and in more detail. Thank you again for your inclusion of Climate Change. Glenn Gately, Nordland: He stated he is here to speak against allowing marijuana facilities of any kind; selling,processing or whatever, in rural residential areas. He likes what the planner said earlier, that this Comprehensive Plan process is public-directed. He appreciates the chance of input now. You have been getting input, at least the Planning Commission has, on this topic as much as we possibly could get some words in there. When it comes to rural residential, the word residential is primary there. It's for residences, homes, places to raise our children. What was recently proposed on Marrowstone, that you are all aware of, Austin's operation with a 10,000 square foot greenhouse. For two years, the hearing examiner certainly decided it wasn't a good ideas. Just think about it, if you were looking to buy a home, and there is a 10,000 square foot greenhouse that is just over the line, even though it makes the setback, it's legal. Would you want to live next to it? You probably would not. I wouldn't anyway, but if you Page 3 Commissioner's Special Meeting Minutes of June 4, 2018 already had the property, like I do, there is nothing to prevent the way it is now, for someone to come in and put that there. Fortunately, when Austin Smith applied, a sign was put up. I think the plan was, when Patrick Hopper was part of the department, based on his ha-ha remark, we hope nobody sees this and everything goes through quietly, that didn't happen,but it could. It is just not a good place where you have homes. When you have other places where it could be, you know,would fit in better, like industrial, rural, agricultural or forest land. The other counties around us have protection, they don't allow it in rural residential areas. Kitsap County, Mason County, Whatcom County, Skagit County has it classified as industrial. The state plan is that counties go along with the adjoining counties. Both residents and Planning Department staff would have much better use of their time in planning, every time a marijuana operation gets proposed to go through this each time. Thank you for your time. Mark Rose, Brinnon: He stated kudos to everybody who put time into this, it seems incredibly complicated. David, this morning I brought up the Brinnon Subarea Plan(BSP). The BSP has been integrated into the Comprehensive Plan. It has been blessed by the Growth Management Act(GMA) Hearings Board as being consistent with the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan and the Unified Development Code(UDC). When he heard there was nothing we could do to implement the BSP,that bothered him. He went to a hearing weeks ago about the Comprehensive Plan and came up with a few ideas on what could be done to further our plan. Establishing another Brinnon planning group. The BSP is supposed to be revisited every five years as stated in the plan. Maybe they can do telecommunications, telemarketing in south County. You could do something to stimulate the local business with the zoning we have in the plan. There could be job training to support our plan. There must be something Commissioners can do proactively to move our plan along, otherwise why did we do it? Is the only option someone has to come to you with a development, and we have no Plan B to implement our plan? He read from a letter he submitted which quotes from the BSP ; "The citizens of Brinnon are uniquely qualified to understand Brinnon's current and future needs...it is expected that this community plan will be reviewed and updated at least every five years." Another section states "This plan and its progress should be reviewed every five years...This effort is consistent with that described in the Comprehensive Plan and the Unified Development Code." Is there a way you maybe can have a town hall meeting? Maybe there's some way to revisit the plan? What is also stated in this plan, that other communities of Jefferson County can benefit from our effort. It seems like Marrowstone Island could really benefit from something like this. This is the only subarea plan in the County. We went through hell to get this thing done, appeals and everything else. There must be something we can do proactively to move it along. Cynthia Koan, Port Townsend: She stated is the Chair of the Planning Commission for Jefferson County. The Planning Commission, as you all well know, has spent the last, I think you could count 3.5, 4.5, 6 years, something like that, on this start and stop process on the Comprehensive Plan Update. The one thing she is struck by after all the work that the Planning Commission, staff and community did,this is a plan that wouldn't have come from any other community, this is us. She is very proud of that. It is not perfect,there are some things she wanted in there that aren't It is ambitious, and is really asking for continued effort. Specifically, one of the things that we at the Planning Commission has asked from the start is that anything that we don't get done during this cycle, let's not wait 8 or 10 years, let's keep working, let's do a rolling update process happening so that every year when we look at site-specific updates for the Comprehensive Plan and other updates that are rolled into the continuous work. The staff Page 4 Commissioner's Special Meeting Minutes of June 4, 2018 of the Department of Community Development(DCD)pulled off a miracle given all of the limitations that they've had. It's her understanding that 2008, DCD had 25 Full Time Equivalents, and now they have 15. She doesn't know if that's correct. She does not see how they can do more than they are already doing. Here we are in June and budgets come around in the fall. She urged the Commissioners to consider how we could beef up that department. The community is asking to move forward on planning, they also want to do, and I don't know how we're going to do that without more support from DCD. The Planning Commission is willing and able to work hard going forward on those rolling updates and looking at new projects, but they can't do that alone, they are not staffed. She asked the Board to consider giving DCD and the Health Department more help. Ruth Roddick, Nordland: She stated the gentleman said,they are here to do, we can't please all the people all the time. In the case of the cannabis plant on marijuana island, it's like placing one person against hundreds. We ask that you consider the concerns of the residents of Marrowstone Island, what we have chosen as our home, and not give into pressure from anywhere else for the sake of one person's business. Thank you. Mark Jochems, Port Townsend: He stated he is a Planning Commission member representing District 2. The Comprehensive Plan finally came to an end and we are really close now. He is very happy to be a part of that process. We have been on this two years now, it was off to a pretty rough start the first few months. They were looking at re-doing the old Comprehensive Plan,which he was never happy with. Since Patty was hired, she took immediate direction and we are where we are now because of her efforts and employees, directed the work that needs to be done. The hardest part of the Planning Commission is the mission statement. There are just a couple of paragraphs in there, that once we got through that, the rest of it was easy. What we have here today is a very readable document, much more readable than the last document. A condensed document compared to the last document. Staff needs to be commended for a job well done. Thank you. Heather Tillman, Nordland: She stated she supports everyone here from Marrowstone Island that is protesting putting any industrial facility of any kind on Marrowstone Island anywhere. We are a residential community first and foremost. We all made a large investment to spend the rest of our lives in this place where we bring our children, grandchildren and finally give them in our wills what we thought was the best thing in the world for all of us. I don't want that to change. It will change if we bring that kind of industrial use to the island. We are very quiet residential, very proper, from what you can see. We don't need marijuana in any shape or form on that island, industrial, commercial or otherwise. Everyone makes a big investment in their homes, we all do. It's always been the most important investment that any of us can make, large or small. Our first home, second home, last home. She urged the Commissioners to remember that when they see any propositions that come before them. Your constituents are all residents, homeowners and investors in our community, so please keep that in mind and keep doing your job for us. Thanks a lot. Barbara Morey, Port Townsend: The stated she is a housing advocate for the past 15 years and has been in the community for 30 years this year. The proposed Comprehensive Plan sections on housing and land use has some real potential to impact the lack of affordable housing in Jefferson County if we truly act on them. The real impact this plan set of policies will be felt in how well our County adopts a true Page 5 Commissioner's Special Meeting Minutes of June 4, 2018 housing-first stance, and makes sure that our actions match our words. We can accomplish these goals in several ways. We can actively support and implement the plans to develop both immediate and long- term plans for affordable housing for everyone as the goal is there for all elements in our community. That means keeping the red tape down to a minimum, and having an attitude of"How can we make this happen?" instead of gatekeeping to keep people out. For example, we can adopt Appendix Q of the International Residential Code (IRC),to define and permit tiny house dwellings to code and allow a density of three tiny houses per single family residential lot, or as many as eight per acre. This is one small thing that can be done to put action to words. We can enhance and coordinate existing policies to extend the use of County-owned property for non-profit supported transitory, that is temporary, housing action, such as permitting RVs or portable tiny houses or multiple tenting units to be registered and placed on such places as the County Fairgrounds Campground, which is County-owned and privately managed, which at this time is very opposed to such action, or at the former Chimacum County Park which has been closed since 2009, and for which there are no plans in the proposed Comprehensive Plan. Plans for the park previously were stated as a potential dog park or nature walk, but this area is already zoned for camping and could easily become a safe park or a place for transitory housing with support from non-profits and other things. Prioritize the implementation of plans for immediate transitory housing measures. We have the plans, we are looking at them, discussing them, it is time to implement them. The need is now. Don't do it for me, do it for the two homeless women in Jefferson County who died in the past several weeks, do it for the 17 year old dishwasher who lives hidden, unaccounted for in a shed in his friend's yard, do it for the three single-parent families who live in RVs and huddle together wherever they can for safety in Jefferson County. Do it for the 78 year old man who is living in the streets in his car because the house where he was renting a room is sold. Do it for the 100 homeless students in Jefferson County, do it for the vets who (unlegible) function, cannot find in our County. Do it for all of us. Jeff Selby: He stated he is a Board member of the Peninsula Trails Coalition(PTC) and is here to speak about the inclusion of the Olympic Discovery Trail (ODT) in the Comprehensive Plan. This is the 30th anniversary year of the PTC, during that time they have promoted and helped establish 80 of the 130 miles proposed between Port Townsend and the Pacific Ocean. He emphasized that the inclusion of the ODT within the Comprehensive Plan is a critical component of the trail to connect Jefferson with Clallam County. He was happy to see that trails were noted as one of the examples of subjects that were addressed in the Comprehensive Plan. The aspect of that is the economic one. He researched some results that other parts of the country have experienced. Some of these studies are older, but he thinks they are just as appropriate today as they were in the 90's when some of them were done. For example, a National Park Service studied the economic impact of trails showed that the 26 mile Heritage Trail in rural Iowa generates 135,000 trips per year. The average expenditure per person is just under$10, generating$1.25 Million in revenue and$630,000 of that was brand new income from visitors outside the county. In 1998, a Canadian study showed that bicycle trail there also generated 135,000 trips each year, and the non-local cyclist spending average was around $25 per trip. This generated a robust economy for the area and generates tax money which can be used for things like housing and of course additional trails to attract visitors to the area. Another aspect of the ODT that could be realized is increased property values, which will generate additional taxes as well. He emphasized and recommended that the Commissioners add additional wording to the Comprehensive Plan that will specifically mention the ODT and its development. Page 6 Commissioner's Special Meeting Minutes of June 4, 2018 Hall Baetz: He stated he is an advocate for the multi-purpose trail over Eaglemount Road. He is here to speak to the specifics of the plan. He submitted a written comment which he stated he would not repeat. The current draft of the plan says the County has achieved its standard in its 2010 non-motorized plan of a half a mile of multi-purpose trail for every 1,000 residents of Jefferson County. That's not accurate. The reason it is not accurate is that the number of miles that the current draft of the plan says exists, which is 48.2 miles, includes sidewalks,bike trails and other trails,which are not multi-purpose trails which are defined in the 2010 non-motorized plan. The actual number of miles in the County is 9.18, and that number comes from the County's own documents as reported in his written comments. The reason it makes a difference is that if its actual 9.18 miles that you actually have in the County, you've fallen short of you 2010 standards, and your Comprehensive Plan should not say that you've achieved those standards. He urged the Commissioners to look into the facts and find out whether he is correct in these estimates based on actual County documents,not vague things like sidewalks and other trails. If he is correct, then the completion of the Eaglemount Trail will add another 9 miles, which will put you over the standard. Keep the trail, achieve the standards,but don't take credit yet for having achieved those standards, wait until the trail is done. Thank you. Joe D'Amico: He stated that Jim Fritz noted it was 20 years ago, and he stood here 20 years ago and spoke during the Comprehensive amendment update. Commissioner Huntingford,he can't remember the other commissioners at the time,he told them that he was concerned about his business growing in Discovery Bay and requested help. That was a plea for help for his business because he was expanding and growing. He wrote a letter to Commissioner Huntingford, which he found, asking where else he could go with his business, if he couldn't be in Discovery Bay? He never got a response back. He thinks the planning portion is really critical for all sorts of businesses you might know are out there. It is important for us to somehow get a survey of the businesses that are here, and he has talked to Philip about this in the past, find out where they're out, what zoning they're in or what they would like to see in the future. It's too late now for this, but maybe it's something the Commissioners and Planning Commission can look at. He thanked the Commissioners, Carolyn and Bill for being here and doing what they do. He cares a lot about people who come here for peace and quiet. He gets that,but we have to balance people that want to have jobs and grow up here and live here and create industry. There is really not a lot of industrial use you hear there's a problem with. That's why marijuana and different businesses pop up all over the County, because they don't have the right zoning. We need to look at opening up more industrial areas. He stated he did some quick fact-checking and 60%of our County is owned by the Federal Government, 20%by state, county and city, so we're really only managing about 20%. Thanks for your hard work and appreciate the opportunity to speak. George Yount, Port Townsend: He thanked everyone, staff and citizens who give so much of their time and energy for the love of the community we live in. He can't than them enough for that. The Comprehensive Plan, or any plan, is only as good as it can be enforced. He has lived here for 35 years and Professor Fritz and himself are probably the longest running citizens that observe the Monday morning comment periods. He's seen a lot of issues come through the Commission. The troubling thing is that he has heard it said, we can have all the dreams we want about how we want Jefferson County to look and feel like and make it good for a rural lifestyle,but it's driven on one thing, citizen complaint. For somebody, if land use is not adhered to, they complain about it. He is deeply troubled about today's morning public comment period. It was like Toto coming in, pulling the shade back, and complaint- Page 7 RA T fix, Commissioner's Special Meeting Minutes of June 4, 2018 driven was trying to speak on the microphone in front and say oh no, we do adhere to code. He doesn't think so. Not at all. Peoples' lives are being impacted by sewage, cars and stuff put on their property by someone else. People who are fearful for their lives. What is going on here? And he is told, but doesn't know if it's true or not, that we cannot afford a Code Enforcement Officer. If we can't enforce our laws or regulations, why can't we? He is very concerned that we have an albatross. We can't take the moral high ground anymore and say we have a quality of life here, if we can't enforce it. Please, please get a Code Enforcement Officer here. Thank you. Hearing no further comments, Chair Sullivan closed the public hearing. The written comment period remains open through Friday, June 8, 2018 at 4:30 p.m. There will be a Special Meeting for deliberations on the Comprehensive Plan on June 14, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. in the Commissioners' Chambers at the Jefferson County Courthouse.
