Delaney Gary A. Rowe David Goldsmith MINUTES Week of August 10, 1998 Chairman Glen Huntingford called the meeting to order at the appointed time. Commis- sioners Daniel Harpole and Richard Wojt were both present. Census 2000 Map Delineation Group re: Census: Community Health Analyst Lesa Barnes reported that the census is due in April of 2000 and several County staff have been working with the Census Bureau to review and update the County census maps. It is necessary to keep continuity between the 1990 census and the 2000 census. There are some very exacting restrictions for defining boundaries for census tracts which must be easily identifiable in the field. They cannot be property lines, or school district boundaries, etc. A workshop is scheduled with the Board to update them on the maps on Thursday August 13, 1998 at 3:00 p.m. Approval of Minutes: Commissioner Harpole moved to approve the Minutes of July 27, 1998 and August 3, 1998 as presented. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Discussion re: Noxious Weed Control Board: The applications for Weed Board District #2 were reviewed and the Clerk of the Board reported that there were no applicants from District #5 (West End). Commissioner Wojt moved to appoint the following people to serve on the Noxious Weed Control Board: ~.. Weed Board District #1: Forest Shomer .... #2: Lige Christian Page 1 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of August 10, 1998 Weed Board District #3: Michael Ewing .... #4: Murlan Winjum Commissioner Harpole seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. PUBLIC SERVICES BRIEFING SESSION: Director of Public Services Gary Rowe reported on a meeting in Port Ludlow last week regarding a visitor center in the area. He asked if the Board wants to hire someone to write a grant application for this project? Commissioner Wojt moved that Gary Rowe find an outside consultant to write a grant application for this project, which will be reviewed by the Public Works Department, and that the grant application include an administrative amount for reimbursement of the cost of writing the grant application. Commissioner Harpole seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. The County did not receive the State Department of Fish and Wildlife grant for watershed planning (WlRA.) The reason for the denial needs to be clarified. Commissioner Harpole suggested that a letter from Jefferson and Clallam Counties be sent to Representative Jim Buck regarding this application process. Gary Rowe noted that he contacted the people involved and explained to them that the County wants to appeal this decision. Gary Rowe asked for direction on the Regional Services Contract with the City. The options are: 1) to continue the contract for dispatch services at the current rate for the rest of the year, 2) to bill for the actual expenses, or 3) to hold off sending a bill until the negotiations are complete. Commissioner Wojt suggested that the County send a bill for the actual expenses and then continue to negotiate. The other Board members concurred that a letter be sent to the City advising them of the actual costs and then a bill for the balance of the year be sent based on those costs. The City will also be advised that other options such as contracting with a regional dispatch center are being reviewed. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The following comments were made: The proposal from the Commissioners on the issue of the asphalt batch plant was not handled by the Planning Commission as requested; whether the permit for the batch plant in Port Hadlock is vested; A1 Scalf reported on the status of 2 applications for asphalt batch plants in the County, the Planning Commis- sions action and the process for these two applications; and a request for a change in the density map for the Four Corners area. APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF THE CONSENT AGENDA: Commissioner Wojt moved to delete Item 5 and to adopt and approve the balance of the items as presented. Commissioner Harpole seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. 1. RESOLUTION NO. 67-98 re: Extension of Interim Growth Strategies Ordinance No. 05- 0214-96 for a Period of Six (6) Months ending on February 10, 1999 or until adoption of the Final Comprehensive Plan Page 2 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of August 10, 1998 10. 11. 12.

Kiwanis Camp Hearing Notice re: Proposed Ordinance to Establish Procedures for Land Use Applications Processed by Jefferson County, Hearing set for Monday, August 24, 1998 at 2:00 p.m. in the Commissioner's Chambers Hearing Notice re: Proposed Ordinance to Establish Procedures and Criteria to Clarify Land Use Regulations, Hearing set for Monday, August 24, 1998 at 2:15 p.m. in the Commissioner's Chambers Shoreline Development Permit #SDP97-006 and Binding Site Plan #ZON97-0024; To Expand an Existing Marina Facility; Located at Pleasant Harbor Marina, Brinnon; Chuck Finnila, Permittee Accept Resignation from Jefferson County Planning Commission Member; Sylvia White Appoint Member to Serve a Three (3) Year Term on the Jefferson County Developmental Disability Advisory Board; Term Expires August 10, 2001; Robin Biffie Out of State Travel Request, $600.00; To National Association of City & County Health Officials; Health and Human Services COUNTY DEPARTMENT BRIEFINGS/BUSINESS: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Director's Update: Director of Community Development A1 Scalf reported that he sent a letter to the Lone Star Corporation regarding their operating hours at the Mats Mats quarry. There was a discussion about the State Department of Fish and Wildlife poisoning the fish in Crocker Lake. The Board directed A1 Scalf to write a letter asking that they work with the County if they take similar action in the future. Commissioner Harpole stated that although this action was done under an emergency declaration, he doesn't feel the Department of Fish and Wildlife is being held accountable. The Board members concurred that A1 Scalf draft a letter for the Board to sign. Page 3 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of August 10, 1998 Discussion re: Shoreline Development Permit Revision, #SDP92-O017; To In- stall/Maintain Electrical Utility Line; Located Along Shine Roa& Puget Sound Energy, Permittee: Associate Planner Lauren Mark reported that staff met with concerned citizens and with Puget Sound Energy. The Puget Sound Energy application was filed in 1992, there was a SEPA determination, and the Board approved the permit in December, 1993. The permit requires that the project be completed within 5 years. The project has been altered because the transmission line is not going to be installed under Hood Canal. Distribution lines are the only lines that will run along Shine Road. The project calls for replacement of the poles, making them shorter because they will take the part of the pole for the transmission lines down. There will be no expansion of the area where the poles are now. This work doesn't require a revision to their existing Shoreline Permit. Chairman Huntingford expressed concern for the power needs of the whole County since this project was originally to make a loop in the power service to the County which now comes through lines up Hood Canal from Mason County. The Planning Department will contact a representative of Puget Sound Energy to ask them to meet with the Board and review their plans for changes to the power transmission to the Olympic Peninsula. Discussion of Request from Council of Ludlow Owners Associations re: For Voting Position on Joint Growth Management Steering Committee for the Port Ludlow Master Planned Resort: Senior Planner Barry Berezowski explained that the request received from the Council of Ludlow Owners Association (CLOA) is based on the Countywide Planning Policies. These Policies state that an unincorporated UGA will have representation on the Steering Committee. Port Ludlow is not an unincorporated UGA, it is a Master Planned Resort. Chairman Huntingford noted that when the Countywide Planning Policies were drafted the term "Master Planned Resorts" did not exist and this area is expected to take population and provide urban services. Barry Berezowski suggested that the Countywide Planning Policies be reviewed for other changes that may be similar to this situation. Commissioner Harpole moved that, after adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, a meeting of the Joint Growth Management Steering Committee be convened to discuss modifying the Countywide Planning Policies to include this group. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion. Chairman Huntingford asked that the Commissioners meet to determine their position before that meeting. The Chairman called for a vote on the motion. The motion carried by a unanimous vote. Discussion re: Shine PUD Water System Installation: A1 Scalf reported that Mr. Felder raised concerns regarding the construction practices being used by the PUD on their water system. He described how the ditch is constructed which includes power conduit, a 6 inch water line and a telephone conduit. There is to be a written agreement between the PUD and the WUCC to allow all of these utilities in one trench. The PUD is currently contacting the WUCC members to get their agreement that this be done. Lauren Mark reported that Environmental Health staff made a site inspection of the water line and it met the requirements for separation from septic systems. Commis- sioner Harpole asked if the project is going forward before the agreement is made with the WUCC? A1 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of August 10, 1998 Scalf reported that they are working on the project. Commissioner Harpole suggested that work be stopped until the WUCC agreement is confirmed. Gary Felder reported that the project is about half completed. He expressed concern that this ditch will undermine the road. A1 Scalf added that other conditions of the permit are that the pipelines through the forestlands will not provide any water hookups and that the Public Works Department review and approve the project plans. Commissioner Wojt asked if there is anything in the process that addresses concerns about the stability of the road? A1 Scalf reported that the Public Works Department has reviewed and approved the plans. The Board asked that Al Scalf follow up with the PUD regarding the agreement with the WUCC. Chairman Huntingford noted that another concern is the size of the waterlines which is different than what is in the plans. Al Scalf reported that there are different size lines in different areas. Lauren Mark added that the Fire District and the Building Department have reviewed the plans for the waterline size and approved them. A1 Scalf asked if the Board wants a Stop Work Order placed on this project until the WUCC approval is received? Commissioner Harpole explained that he feels it is necessary because it is one of the conditions of the permit and it will protect the PUD as well as the citizens of the County. The Board concurred that a Stop Work Order be put in place until the agreement with the WUCC is finalized. There was a discussion about who will be responsible if Shine Road becomes unstable at some point in the future because of the installation of this ditch. Discussion of Request for Twelve (12) Month Administrative Extension, #SUB95-0105, Madden Short Plat; To Divide 3 Acres into 2 Lots for Residential Use; Located 2 Miles South of City Limits at 1205 South Discovery Road, Port Townsend; Robert Madden, Proponent: Assistant Planner Michelle Grewell explained that the reason for the one year extension of this short plat was because the applicant is employed at the Port Townsend Paper Mill and he was uncertain of the continuance of his position so he didn't want to put more money into the plat until he was sure of his employment. Robert Madden reported that he has installed the septic system and is working on the road. Only preliminary work on the septic system has to be done before final plat approval and there was a misunderstanding by the applicant about this. Mr. Madden stated that he has equipment on the site and is ready to complete the work on the road and that his employment situation has been resolved. Commissioner Harpole moved to approve one additional twelve month extension for this short plat. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion. He asked what is to be done to complete the subdivision? Michelle Grewell reported that there are 4 pages of conditions, but the primary conditions are the road construction and completion of the final survey mylar. This is a two lot subdivision; one lot is 1.2 acres and the other is 1.5 acres. The Chairman called for a vote on the motion. Commissioner Harpole and Chairman Huntingford voted for the motion. Commissioner Wojt abstained from voting on the motion. VOL Page 5 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of August 10, 1998 Tentative Public Hearing for Comprehensive Plan: Barry Berezowksy reported that he would like the Board to schedule a tentative public hearing on August 24, 1998 just in case there are any substantive changes to the Comprehensive Plan as a result of the hearing today. Commissioner Wojt moved to set a public hearing on the Comprehensive Plan for August 24, 1998 at 3 p.m. Commissioner Harpole seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. PUBLIC WORKS Director's Update: Public Works Director Klara Fabry reported: An ordinance is being drafted regarding the use ofjake brakes in the County. A workshop will be scheduled with the Board after all County Departments have a chance to review the draft. A detour will be established for the time when Highway 101 is closed at Lake Crescent. The chip seal project is on schedule. Twenty-two miles of road have been completed to date. A meeting was held with Olympic Resource Management last week to discuss stormwater management in the Port Ludlow area. They are willing to work with the County on short and long term solutions, but they don't feel that it is their responsibility to finance the solutions. Chairman Huntingford asked to be included in any future meetings on this topic. A few of the Seniors in Brinnon were opposed to having the recycling bins at the Brinnon Senior Center site. The recycling bins will be placed back at that location, but the Department will continue to look for a long term solution. AGREEMENT Interlocal re: To Accept Jefferson County Waste at the City of Port Angeles Landfill; Jefferson County Public Works; City of Port Angeles: Commissioner Harpole moved to approve the contract with the City of Port Angeles. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Request from Fire District #6 to Purchase Fire Hose in Lieu of Installing 15, 000 Gallon Water Storage Tank: Postponed to a later date at request of Public Works Director. Warren Steurer and Loring Bemis re: Facilities Update: Maintenance Lead Loring Bemis updated the Board on the status of several facilities projects and noted that the facilities budget is on target. Facilities Manager Warren Steurer reported that the repair and maintenance line can fluctuate due to repair needs each year. The Community Service Coordinator is developing a program to supply workers for projects in Facilities, Parks and Recreation which will save the County money. Three (3) Applications for Assistance from the Veterans Relief Fund: Commissioner Wojt moved to approve 3 applications for assistance from the Veterans Relief Fund in the amounts of $75.00, $148.28; and $400.00 as submitted and recommended by the Service Officers Association. Commissioner Harpole seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Page 6 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of August 10, 1998 The Board met in EXECUTIVE SESSION with the Director of Community Development regarding potential litigation from 1:15-1:30 p.m.; from 1:30-2:15 p.m. with the Public Works Director regarding the sale of real estate and from 2:15-3:00 p.m. with the Public Works Director regarding labor management matters. HEARING re: Budget Extensions/Appropriations; Various County Departments and Specific Funds: The Chairman opened the public hearing and reported that his only issue is the windfall money from the UFCW benefit. Each department with UFCW employees will have unspent money in their benefits line, Several of the appropriation requests could probably be covered by the amount left in the benefit line although the Departments have been told not to use the amount in that line and to make requests for appropriations if necessary. Barbara Johnson, Juvenile Services Director, explained that several of her detention lines are over- drawn. The new work release facility will allow juveniles to be held for 24 hours in the old work release area while they await their court appearance. In the past, the County has been required to transport juveniles to the Kitsap Facility and this will mean a savings in transportation costs. Kevin Badten, Juvenile Services Corrections Counselor, reviewed the records for detention this year and 24 juveniles would have been effected in the last 6 months which is 32 bed days. Projecting that over the year would mean 64 bed days at $90 per day. Only 10 or 12 of the juveniles would have been held at our jail because they don't hold juveniles under the age of 16. Barbara Johnson clarified that the $30,000 request did not take into account any savings from this new facility. Court Clerk Marianne Walters reported that her request is the result of an unfunded mandate from the State for upgrading computer equipment. The State may reimburse the County at the completion of this project in 2001. Gary Rowe noted that this cost could come from the Information Services budget instead of the General Fund. Arlene Black, Prosecuting Attorney's Office Supervisor, reported that there are insufficient funds to cover the salary for a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney and the requirement that each employee receive 20 hours of training is not completely funded. There are also trial expenses for the Berube/Nielson case that will require out of state travel and expert witnesses to be brought in. Lead Legal Technician Carolyn Costain reported that the request for the Crime Victims Fund is because the position was converted from a contract position to a full time position. Commissioner Harpole asked why the travel for training can't be kept within the budget that was established at the beginning of 1998? Carolyn Costain explained that the courses that their employees need are not offered locally. Gary Rowe reported that the County Fair request is due to a line item being inadvertently left out of their budget. There is money in this fund to cover this item. Page 7 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of August 10, 1998 The Chairman opened the hearing for public comment. Hearing no comments for or against the requested appropriations/extensions the Chairman closed the public hearing. Commissioner Harpole moved to hold the request for the Clerk and the Prosecuting Attorney for more information and to approve RESOLUTION NO. 69-98 ordering the following budget extensions/appropriations as requested: C[JRRENT EXPENSE FUNDS: Juvenile & Family Court Services Sheriff Total Current Expense 30,000.00 9, 182.00 39,18200 OTHER FUNDS: County Fair Crime Victims Drug Fund H. J. Carroll Park Hotel-Motel 20,000.00 6,500.00 9,422.96 18,172.00 5,000.00 Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. HEARING re: Final Draft of Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan: Approximately 70 interested residents were present when Chairman Huntingford opened the public hearing on the final draft of the Comprehensive Plan. He read the procedures to be followed in the hearing, and then opened the public testimony portion of the hearing. Jim Tracy, stated that he is the Attorney representing the Cotton Corporation and the Courtesy Auto Group. He explained that the Cotton Corporation owns the log dump in Irondale which has been in the same location since World War II and has always been a resource based industrial business. However, in 1994 it was zoned residential and continues to be zoned residential in the final draft of the Compre- hensive Plan. They are requesting that the Board add the wording to the final Plan in the section regarding the criteria for industrial zones (Page 3-30): ".. and such other uses which are designated in the adopted defferson County Shoreline Master Program." This would allow an appropriate, rational designation for the property. He explained that the Courtesy Auto Group's property designation at SR19/SR20 is "Interim General Crossroads" in the final Plan. His client's concern is that the integrity of the existing commercial designation be maintained. The Planning Commission's recommendation for the Interim General Crossroads designation is to reduce the size of the area and limit the uses. It is Jim Tracy's understand- ing that the Board has rejected the Planning Commission's recommendation. If this is not the case, the Courtesy Auto Group is opposed to this designation. Page 8 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of August 10, 1998 Lloyd Cahoon, representing the Port of Port Townsend, stated that he wants to reaffirm all the Port' s comments from prior hearings and all written testimony. The County's current position is that the Port's concerns are minor and can be revisited during the annual updates of the Plan. The Port's current position is that their concerns are substantive and need to be addressed before the adoption of the Plan. The current Plan puts a moratorium on development of any Port properties except within the City of Port Townsend, This is without basis. The primary issues are: 1) The Glen Cove/Tri Area Studies should be completed before the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan; 2) Marine trade properties and resource based properties in Quilcene should be given some form of industrial designation; 3) Existing marine trade properties in Lower Hadlock should not be excluded from the Port Hadlock Rural Village Center; 4) Urban style development and associated infrastructure should currently be uniformly prohibited outside of the UGA; 5) There is no process in the Comprehensive Plan for siting new or expanded Essential Public Facilities, especially the Airport and it precludes the expansion of the Airport and restricts the manner in which the Airport can be developed; 6) The Comprehensive Plan does not require notice to title provisions for properties within the Airport Overlay Zone; and 7) The Comprehen- sive Plan is inconsistent with Federal Preemption of Air Traffic Control Authority. He submitted a letter addressed to the Planning Department from the State Department of Transportation Aviation Division. (See microfilmed document.) Mike Derrick, Olympic Resource Management, stated that they want to comment on the latest land use map of Port Ludlow. There are four areas where changes in designations have been made: 1) The twin islands located near the Inner Harbor area have been changed to open space reserve; 2) The property on Oak Bay and Paradise Bay Road and the Ludlow Utilities Office location are now designated as residential; 3) In the Single Family Tracts, an area density of 1 dwelling unit on 2 1/2 acres of land has been designated; 4) There is a new designation called "Recreation Areas" which defines permitted uses for the golf course area, and 5) The mixed use commercial and multifamily facilities area where the existing resort and potential expansion areas are, has been changed to "Resort Complex and Community Facilities." This map more accurately defines the uses. The Planning staff supports the map and so does CLOA. He submitted 2 letters, 1 from the 1000 Friends of Washington and 1 from the State Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development, to Governor Gary Locke asking the Governor to sign Engrossed House Bill 2083. (See microfilmed documents.) Paul Heinziger, representing Ruth Baldwin, read a letter into the record from Ruth and A1 Baldwin. (See microfilmed document.) Ray Vines, explained that he owns Lots 1,2, and 3 of Melwood Terrace and is requesting that it be zoned the same designation as the Port Hadlock business area. He stated that he and the County recently came to an agreement regarding the use of his property with a few changes to his building permit. He is satisfied with the changes, but if the agreement should fall through for some reason he wants to go on record with his original request and, if that is not an option, a request that the zoning of these lots be revisited in the annual review of the Comprehensive Plan. Page 9 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of August 10, 1998 Gene Seton, 4890 South Discovery Road, stated that the Planning Commission's recommendation was not to designate the Four Corners and Chimacum crossroads areas as commercial. The Board, in their deliberations, made changes to the recommendation for these areas to "general commercial." The Board returned their revised draft to the Planning Commission with a memo requesting changes only if they found them to be illegal. The Planning Commission revised the Board's changes to "neighborhood commercial." There is nothing in the Plan or the Interim Controls to allow for the metal recycling facility or the UPS facility that currently exist at Four Corners. The Quimper map was rewritten by 2 people and adopted in a special meeting in the Courthouse on a Saturday night. There is a 160 acre parcel of property on the Quimper Peninsula that shows a density of 1 residence on 5 acres. He and his son own adjoining property and are requesting that the density on their parcels also be made 1 residence on 5 acres. Bob Krutenat., PUD #1 Commissioner, speaking for the PUD Commissioners and the PUD customers stated that the enabling documents of the Comprehensive Plan does not recognize the statutory authority of the PUD to provide water, sewer and utility service to the residents of Jefferson County as may be needed in the future. He summarized WAC 197 11 800 which they are asking be included in the enabling ordinances which states that water systems with pipes less than 8" in diameter be permitted in all zones. Evelyn Livingston, stated that she is here to reiterate what she said in previous testimony and written comments requesting that their lot in the Lopeman Short Plat be designated commercial. She submitted and read her statement. (See microfilmed document.) Bill Lindeman, representing Kala Point Development Company and Kelly Shields, Inc., stated that they own Lot 21 at the entrance of Kala Point. In 1991, the lot was designated commercial and an office building was constructed, with plans for future office buildings. The Comprehensive Plan does not designate the lot as commercial. They reached an agreement last week with the County that allows the lot to be grandfathered for construction of additional office buildings that would be required to meet the existing building and lot coverage requirements for commercial. Steve Ardell, representing Pat Smith, submitted 2 packets of information. (See microfilmed documents.) He explained that the property at SR19 and Chimacum Road has been historically commercial since 1953. In addition, it has 3 Port Townsend commercial water taps which include fireflow. Bruce Freeland, City of Port Townsend, explained that there is a Joint Growth Management Steering Committee Meeting scheduled on Wednesday and he asked that the Board allow the City to defer comments until that time. After a brief discussion, he agreed to give the comments to the Board in writing by the deadline set. Herb Beck., Port Commissioner from District 3, stated that since the County gave the Airport to the Port, approximately $2.3 million has been invested there. The County needs to allow development of businesses that are Airport related to continue to help increase the profitability of the Airport. The boat Page 10 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of August 10, 1998 haven in Quilcene is a marine environment with a water system that has been in place for many years, but in the Comprehensive Plan it is designated residential. It should be designated light marine, for light industrial uses. He requested that Lower Hadlock be designated the same as the Port Hadlock business area, a rural village designation. Wendi Wrinkle, representing the Shine Community Action Council, stated that she has concerns about recent changes to the Port Ludlow map that appear to be the result of an agreement that the County and ORM have worked out. The map was not available to the general public to allow for comment. She is also concerned about the process that the County chose to address stakeholder's property designations by mediation, when some stakeholders were not informed. She requested that all the Shine Community Action Council testimony be referenced. She stated that in the past the County has been in violation of the (MA over critical areas, commercial forestlands and urban development outside of urban areas and that the Board needs to pay close attention to avoid being in violation of the act again. Loren Turner, stated that he owns the "old post office building" on the southeast corner of the Chimacum intersection. He requested that it be designated as commercial. Jim Parker, Manager of the PUD, stated that his comments relate to levels of service (LOS). The Coordinated Water System Plan developed by the County and other stakeholders is used to determine the size of a water system or utilities. It is based upon the level of service, whether it is rural or urban. The level of service for fireflow is now the same in both areas. In the past, urban level fireflow was required in areas where the density is greater, such as Port Townsend. There is no reason to put the same level of service in a rural area where the density is much less. He requested that the levels of service for fireflow be aligned to reflect future densities according to the Comprehensive Plan. Greg McCary,from Port Ludlow stated that there is a mapping error in the new Port Ludlow map. In Section 25 there is an existing gravel pit that is verified by aerial maps and was permitted in 1995. ORM has submitted a letter to point out that the map needs to be revised to show the pit. Lloyd Cahoon, representing the Port of Port Townsend, cited the letter from the DOT, Aviation Division encouraging the County to work with the Port to include the information in the Airport Master Plan regarding land use in the Comprehensive Plan. The Port Commissioners have jurisdiction over the Airport property according to State law. The Joint Growth Management Steering Committee needs to address the implementation of HB5019 and HB6094 in the Countywide Planning Policies. The Plan needs provisions for major industrial development. He explained that the pre-1990 zoning at the Airport was commercial/industrial. In 1993, an interim zoning ordinance changed the airport designation to general. In response 'to this redesignation, the Port submitted an application for a zoning change and in 1994, the Jefferson County Planning Department Director sent a letter to the Port asking them to withhold their application. He asked that the Board consider HB6094 regarding land use designations before 1990. Pa~c~e 11 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of August 10, 1998 Guy Rudolph, Irondale, believes that the petition regarding the Irondale incorporation is valid; but the vote was put off by the Commissioners. The residents in the area should have had the chance to vote on the incorporation. The Chairman closed the testimony portion of the hearing. He stated that written comments will be accepted until 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 13, 1998. The Board met from 6:00-8:00 p.m. in a workshop on the Interim Controls. The meeting was recessed at the end of the scheduled business and reconvened on Tuesday morning. All three Board members were present. CONTRACT, Second Addendum re: Solid Waste Export Services; Jefferson County Public Works; Rabanco: Commissioner Wojt moved to approve the contract addendum with Rabanco as presented. Chairman Huntingford seconded the motion in the temporary absence of Commissioner Harpole. The motion carried.
