COUNTY DEPARTMENT BRIEFINGS/BUSINESS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Mike Ajax, Building Inspector re: Fee Waiver Request; Randy Brackett, Representing Habitat for Humanity of East Jefferson County: Mike Ajax, Building Official, reported that the Habitat for Humanity has just completed their first house in Port Townsend. They are now applying for a building permit for a house in the County. Randy Brackett explained that the Habitat for Humanity is interested in building houses outside the City. They are asking that the County waive the building permit fees for these houses because they are for people who are at less than ½ of the median income of the County which is currently $19,200 per year. The home owner also does a portion of the work on the home. Page 3 25 ,7493 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of June 14, 1999 Chairman Harpole asked if there is a time frame that the family must stay in the home? Randy Brackett advised that if a home is put up for sale before the primary mortgage is paid off, there is a second mortgage on the house for the cost of building it. Chairman Harpole asked if the request is for an immediate project or for all such projects? Randy Brackett explained that they are asking for both. Mike Ajax reported that he volunteered much of his time on the first house. Chairman Harpole asked what the total amount of the fees would be? Mike Ajax reported that the fees for the first house were about $962.00. A1 Scalf asked how many of these houses would be done per year? Mike Ajax advised that the goal is 4 homes per year: 2 in the City, and 2 in the County. Randy Brackett explained the criteria for the Habitat for Humanity uses for these projects. Chairman Harpole suggested that the Board consider these requests on a individual basis until the program has been in operation for awhile before any ordinance changes are made. Commissioner Huntingford stated that he supports this project, but he has concerns about other citizens who are in the same situation, but may not qualify for a Habitat for Humanity program. Chairman Harpole suggested that A1 Scalf discuss this with the Budget Manager and bring a recommen- dation back to the Board. Discussion re: Public Notice Process for Subdivisions in Relation to Jefferson County InternationalAirport: A1 Scalf reported that they have prepared information for the Board on how notification is handled for subdivision near the airport. He read from the current EICO which requires notification of all permits issued within the 65 LDN, which is smaller than the proposed area in the Airport Noise Overlay ordinance. Chairman Harpole stated that what the County is currently doing is similar to what the Port is asking be done through the draft ordinance. He asked how many more possible building sites there are between the 55 LDN and 65 LDN boundaries? A1 Scalfreported that he will have to check with Permit Center staff to see how long it will take to provide this information. He will update the Board next Monday. Larry Crockett, Port Manager, reported that the State law requires that the airport be identified as an essential public facility in the County's Comprehensive Plan. He read from RCW 36.70.540 which states that the County shall discourage siting of incompatible uses around the airport through the Comprehensive Plan and development regulations. He noted that the Port is willing to work with the County and the residents of the area on these issues. Page 4 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of June 14, 1999 Discussion re: Proposed WAC Guidelines to the Shoreline Management Act; Washington State Department of Ecology: Associate Planner Lauren Mark reviewed the summary of the new guidelines for the Shoreline Management Act. One major change is the requirement of a shorelines inventory. An inventory has been done on 20 miles from Kala Point to Tala Point which cost approximately $15,000 in grant monies. A biological report and engineering report was also provided for this area. Jefferson County has 202 miles of saltwater shoreline, 367 miles of stream shoreline, and 14 miles of lake shoreline. It would cost approximately $1,000 per mile of shoreline for the County to do the inventory that is required by these new guidelines. Chairman Harpole suggested that the comment from the County include the information on the number of shoreline miles in the County and the estimated cost per mile for this type of survey work. Commissioner Huntingford asked that a comment also be added stating that this work should not be required of the County or individual property owners. A draft comment letter will be on the Board's agenda for approval next week. Final Plat Approval; Large Lot Subdivision #LL02-92; To Divide Approximately 36 Acres into 8 Residential Lots; Located Near Camp Parsons at Pulali Point, Pulali Point Partners, Applicant (See also Item 13 on the Consent Agenda) Jerry Smith, Associate Planner, reported on the history of this project and the regulations in place at the time the application was made. Commissioner Wojt moved to issue the final plat approval for the Large Lot Subdivision #LL02-92. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Director's Update: A1 Scalf reported that he expects to have the Planning Manager and Office Manager hired as soon as the required paperwork is complete. PUBLIC WORKS Update on Tri Area/Glen Cove Study: Bruce Laurie, Transportation Manager, reported on the progress of the Tri Area/Glen Cove Special Study and how the time line fits with the petition for the incorporation of Tri Area. He noted that the preferred alternative from the study regarding the Tri Area UGA designation, and the Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the designation, will be completed at a workshop on September 20, 1999. Guy Rudolph stated that September 20 is 13 days past the date of the petitioners' election deadline. He asked if the petition is dead? The Board indicated that is correct. Mr. Rudolph asked what the community should do? Commissioner Huntingford noted that the Board is not happy that the study is not on time, but the process has to continue even though it is behind the original schedule. VOL Page 5 25 495 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of June 14, 1999 Commissioner Huntingford asked if Mr. Rudolph feels the information presented would indicate that the incorporation is feasible if the Tri Area is designated a UGA? Guy Rudolph stated his concerns that some of the cost estimates in the study are too high. Bruce Laurie reminded everyone that the informa- tion in the study is in draft form and public comment will be taken before it is finalized. Commissioner Wojt asked if the Prosecuting Attorney has been asked if a UGA could be declared on an emergency basis? A1 Scalf reported that there is no legal basis for declaring a UGA. HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Director's Update: David Specter reported that he will provide an update for the Board the next two weeks in order to assure an efficient transition when he leaves. Loft School re: Report on Odyssey of the Mind World Competition: The students repOrted that they were 8th in the overall division, out of 52 states and other countries making presenta- tions. They enjoyed their visit to the University of Tennessee. Their performance was based on a historical event that took place in 1917 with Mayor Israel Katz. The Historical Society and the Leader provided assistance with the research. Brinnon No Shooting Zone: A1 Scalfpresented a map with a draft boundary line for the "No Shooting Zone." The Knootz's own a large portion of the property adjacent to the power line, and are in favor of the "No Shooting Zone." Chairman Harpole noted that he was impressed by the testimony of the Park Ranger from the Dosewallips State Park. Commissioner Huntingford moved to approve the ORDINANCE NO 03-0614-99 to establish a "No Shooting Zone" in Brinnon described as follows: The area bordered on the east by Highway 101; on the north by the Dosewallips Road; on the west by the power line; and on the south by the Dosewallips River. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Page 6 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of June 14, 1999 The Board met in executive session from 2:30 to 3:15 p.m. with the Prosecuting Attorney, the Director of Community Development and the Deputy Director of Public Services regarding potential litigation. The Board recessed their meeting on Monday at the conclusion of the scheduled business and reconvened on Wednesday. Commissioner Wojt and Commissioner Huntingford were present. Letter of Appeal re: Denial of Major Disaster Request: Commissioner Huntingford moved to have the Chairman sign a letter to Governor Gary Locke asking him to formally appeal FEMA Director James Lee Witt's denial of Washington State's request for a major storm declaration resulting from the severe storms of last winter. Other Counties signing the letter include: Clallam, Grays Harbor, Kitsap, Lewis, Mason, Pacific, Pend Oreille, Pierce, Snohomish and Thurston.

It is felt that we need some kind of protection from the small percentage of people shooting firearms with no regard for residences close by. We have a large herd of elk that stay in the general area of downtown Brinnon and during hunting season this becomes a major fear. Last year two elk were killed in the yard of one of our residents. The Sheriff's department has advised us that there are no laws to govern this or any shooting. The County Commissioners have enacted an ordinance, which permits us to request specific identifiable no-shooting areas. This petition makes a formal request and will give the Sheriff the authority to arrest anyone shooting a firearm in this area. ' 25.. 307 ;. ¥OL r~C~ I 1820 Jefferson Street P.O.

During the time between the hearing and the actual adoption of the ordinance, we researched and reviewed several options for the no shooting zone boundary. At the conclusion of this review which included the boundary as suggested in your petition, we felt the power line would provide the most protection for the community. We are willing to consider requests for special events within the boundary, such as the "Turkey Shoot" that was mentioned during the public hearing. We want to leave the boundary as established for at least a year to allow residents of the area to become familiar with it and to determine if it meet the needs of the entire community.

Board of Commissioners 1820 Jefferson Street P.O. Box 1220 Port Townsend WA 98368 Dear Sirs: Please consider the following: The area West of Schoolhouse Road appears to represent approximately 60% or more of the total area included in the current boundaries of the No- Shooting Zone. There are only nine (9) permanent residents residing in the entire area West of Schoolhouse Road vs. thirty (30) in the area bounded by Hwy. 101 and Schoolhouse Road, not to mention the Bayshore Motel and all the businesses in the community. By including the area South of Brinnon Lane, a buffer zone across the Dosewallips River from the Park will still be in effect. The wording "and all properties immediately adjacent to the West Side of Schoolhouse Road" would then include the School grounds(a moot point since it is already a Gun Free Zone) and the property on which the new Fire Station-will be built, can be added to the "South on Schoolhouse Road{ }to Brinnon Lane" proposed boundary description. The residents of five (5) of the six (6) permanent homes in the proposed area for exclusion are all over 50 years of age. Ail residents in the proposed exclusion area are adult, law-abiding, responsible, citizens living here permanently year-round. The majority of personal property in the proposed exclusionary zone is and shall remain posted as "Private Property" / "No Tresspassing" / "No Hunting". Your attention to the above facts when considering our Proposal would be greatly appreciated. ~erel y, ~ ?.0.

Box F Brinnon, WA98320 Brinnon No Shooting Zone Established We discussed the petition from Brinnon residents for a no shooting zone at our re~lar meeting on June 14, 1999. Ordinance No. 03-0614-99 was approved to establish the Brinnon "No Shooting Zone" with the boundary as described in the original petition. This action was not taken lightly. We felt, after listening to your concerns about health and safety at the public hearing on March 15, 1999; working with the Sheriffs Office to see if the shooting problems could be resolved; and finally discussing the problems and concerns with you again at our "On the Road" meeting; this was the best course of action to provide some safeguards for the residents of Brinnon, Enclosed is a copy of the ordinance that establishes the regulations for" No Shooting Zones" and a map with the Zone boundary, As you will see there is no reference in this ordinance to allowing a shooting range or a special event such as a "Turkey Shoot." We would be willing consider individual requests for these activities on a case by case basis in the future, so that we can assure that notification for the activity is provided, and that guidelines are established that will keep the integrity of the "No Shooting Zone" in tact. We have also enclosed information on the signs for posting the boundary of the zone. It is the responsibility of the property owners within the boundary to provide and install the signs. You may call Michelle at the Public Works Shop in Port Hadlock at 3854)890 for information on sign shops in the area.

B0/~I~D OF COMM~SSJ0NEI~S Since reading the review of the "On the Road" meeting in Brinnon May 17th, I don't think I am alone regarding this subject either! (Ouch) The agenda was advertised as an update to the slide/road closures south of us, NOT for a forum of the proposed NO- SHOOTING zone in Brinnon. It seems the proponents of this took advantage of the moment and now we can feel the sharp end of the pointed stick. Since this was a rescheduled meeting from the 6th of May, I had a previous committment and could not attend. I have been in contact with the state dept of fish & game and as a tentative licensed state ,qame farmer, they say I have every right to use whatever means possible to protect any game birds I may be raising from preditors. If this right is taken away from me by inclusion in the proposed NO-SHOOT ZONE, the state says ANY liability for loss or damage will go to the county. Have also been in communication with the district game enforcement officer, Phil Henry re: property and crop damage by the local marauding ELK herd. I am told that I can use "Bird-Shot" to ward off any elk from damaging my property. Here again, if this right is taken away from me by inclusion in a "NO-SHOOTING" zone, ANY/ALL liability will revert to the county. (my lawyer-little-sis in Seattle loves law suites) ( and the 2nd amendment foundation in Bellevue has already been contacted.) The original problem that instigated all of this seems to have been taken care of. There has been relatively no shooting activity from the irresponsible individual since being contactedlandlorltalked to by the county sheriff dept. The ONLY reason property West of Schoolhouse Road was included was to make sure that individual was included in the NO-SHOOTING Zone. IF there is an established NO-SHOOTING Zone in Brinnon, I think all opposed to the present boundaries to the West of Schoolhouse Rd would gladly support a zone between Hwy 101 and Schoolhouse Rd, and the Dose River Rd and the Dose River.
