COMMISSIONERS BRIEFING SESSION: Commissioner Harpole reported on several meetings he attended last week including a meeting with State Legislators regarding a $50,000 grant for funding higher education opportunities for adults on the Olympic Peninsula. He reviewed a draft letter of support from the County for this grant. Commissioner Huntingford moved to approve the letter of support as presented. Chairman Wojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. He then reported on the fn'st meeting of the Cable Television Advisory Committee. This Commission is reviewing how to create a public access television station at Port Townsend High School. He requested that a Commissioners Issue Retreat be scheduled as soon as possible, he also reported that he met with representatives from the State Department of Community, Trade Commissioners Meeting Minutes Week of February 18, 1997 and Economic Development who indicated that they would be willing to provide assistance to the County on the Comprehensive Plan review and implementation process including a non- binding peer review of the Plan if requested. Commissioner Huntingford noted that the County has had help from DCTED in the past on GMA issues. He suggested that they be asked what impact the bills that are being brought up in the legislature regarding GMA will have on the County's planning efforts. The Board then interviewed Barbara Blowers who is interested in serving on the Planning Commission. on the PUBLIC SER VICES BRIEFING: Public Services Director Gary Rowe reported following: A follow up meeting on water issues will be scheduled as soon as next week, if possible. The draft Comprehensive Plan will be released next Monday to the Board and the public. A1 Scalf has reported that the draft is on schedule to be printed and available next week. Commissioner Harpole added that DCTED representatives are willing to provide assistance to the County. He suggested that the Comp Plan Team meet for a couple of hours each week and explained that he would like to be involved. Gary Rowe pointed out that even though existing staff is on this team, consultants will be brought in to work on specific issues, as needed. Chairman Wojt cautioned that it needs to be understood by staff and the Board, that individual Board members asking questions should not be taken as direction. UFCW contract negotiations are continuing. Property tax bills were distributed last week. A meeting was held in Port Ludlow regarding storm water issues. The community will have to do something such as a utility district to address these concerns. Commissioner Huntingford asked if the service contract with the Brinnon Senior Organ- ization is the same as previous years? He noted that this contract includes funding to make sure that there is staff at the facility on a regular basis. Gary Rowe will check into this with David Goldsmith. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The following items were discussed: The hearing on the Interim Growth Strategies Ordinance; and that testimony will become part of the record. If some comments are not addressed in this ordinance, they will become part of the Comprehensive Plan review process. The composition of the Comp Plan Team, and why the Board didn't take the Prosecuting Attorney up on his offer to do this work. Chairman Wojt explained that the needs of the Page 2 Commissioners Meeting Minutes Week of February 18~ 1997 Prosecuting Attorney's Office and the Planning Department to do Comprehensive Plan work are separate and are being addressed separately. Commissioner Harpole clarified that both the Planning Depamnent staff and staff in the Prosecuting Attorney's Office will be involved in this process.

Brace Laurie will be appointed as Engineering Services Manager until the end of 1997 to fill in for Frank Gifford who is temporarily transferred to the Comp Plan Team beginning March 1, 1997. Bob Nesbitt's retirement party is February 28, 1997 at the Fire Hall in Chimacum at 5 p.m. The Operator II position has been advertised in-house and is expected to be advertised to the public soon. As provided in a previous agreement, the road crew lent a low boy for 10 hours to do work at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds. A reminder will be placed in the newspaper for the "Adopt a Road" program which is to help clean up litter on the highways. A shams report has been given to each Board member on the Old Gardiner Road project. Commissioner Huntingford reported that the Gunstone's have asked if there is a plan for clean up and restoration of the stream corridor and the beach. Klara Fabry reported that she will have more information on the options for this project in two weeks. The General Administration Building study will be finalized and presented to the Board in April. Follow-up discussions have been held with the Mill and the City regarding the land swap issues for the Trail. This should be finalized soon. A second meeting has been scheduled in the Port Ludlow area regarding storm water issues. PROSECUTING ATTORNEY Stipulated Orders (2) - Adjudicating Public Use and Immediate Possession and Use re: Jefferson County's Interest in a Clallam County Property; Road Condemnation: Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Paul McIlrath reported that Jefferson County has an interest in a property located in Clallam County that the State wants to condem for the Highway 101 Sequim by-pass. This interest was due to a loan program for septic system repairs which was administered for Clallam and Jefferson Counties. The State would like the County to enter into stipulated orders releasing its interest. The Board will review the proposal. Later in the Day; Commissioner Huntingford asked if there will be any funds coming back to the Page 4 Commissioners Meeting Minutes Week of February 18, 1997 County if these orders are approved. Paul McIlrath advised that there is a cash mount provided for in the orders and it will be put into a trust account. The County can make a demand for their portion. The condemnation is being done to secure a portion of the property to change the driveway access, but the property owner will retain possession of their property. Commissioner Huntingford moved to authorize the Prosecuting Attorney enter into the Stipu- lated Order for Immediate Possession and Use, and the Stipulated Order Adjudicating Public Use #97-2-00073 -7 on behalf of the County and that the County pursue immediate repayment of the funds to the revolving loan fund. Chairman Wojt seconded the motion in the temporary absence of Commissioner Harpole. The motion carded. Paul Mcllrath, Chief Deputy Prosecuting Attorney re: Discussion of Contract for an Additional Deputy Prosecuting Attorney: Chief Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Paul Mcllrath reported that the Prosecuting Attorney's Office would like to be able to provide the undivided attention of the Prosecuting Attorney and the Deputy Prosecuting Attorney to the Comprehensive Plan review and adoption process. The Prosecuting Attorney currently divides his time between criminal and civil work. They are requesting the addition of a contract attorney to help with this work. Commissioner Harpole asked how long this attorney would serve? Paul Mcllrath reported request is for March '97 through December 1998. He reported that legal assistance will continue to be necessary once the County has taken it's legislative action to adopt the Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner Harpole asked if having this position will help free up the Prosecuting Attorney and the Deputy Prosecuting Attorney's time to work on the implementing ordinances as well as the Comprehensive Plan review and adoption process? Paul Mcllrath reported that it would allow time for that review. He added that if the term is longer than 7 months, they should be able to attract a highly qualified attorney. Commissioner Hunfingford asked what workload impact this additional attorney will have on the other law and justice departments? He is concerned about hiring another attorney until more is known about the exact workload requirement. He feels there will be more workload as a result of the implementing ordinances. Paul Mcllrath pointed out that David Skeen is not asking for an additional full time position, but for a contract attorney. Commissioner Harpole stated that he feels this request is distinct from a request the Prosecuting Attorney made a few weeks ago. He feels that the prior request should go through the Law and Justice Council. He feels this request is different, but he would like to see a contract that begins in March and goes through July of 1998. Commissioner Harpole moved to approve the hiring of an attorney for the Prosecuting Attor- Page 5 Commissioners Meeting Minutes Week ofFebruar7 187 1997 ney's Office on a contract to begin March 1, 1997 and mn through July 1998. Commissioner Hunfingford seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. HEARING re: Extending the Growth Strategy Ordinance (Ordinance No. 05- 0214-96): Director of Community Development Al Scalf reported that this hearing is regarding the extension of the emergency Interim Ordinance No. 05-0214-96 which went into effect February 14, 1996. The map reflects what is in the ordinance. Under RCW 36.70A.390 which deals with interim zoning controls maintains that this type of control can be in place for one year and may be renewed for one or more six month periods if a subsequent public hearing is held and findings of fact are made prior to each renewal. The Planning staffrecommends that the interim ordinance be extended for a period of six months. He then noted that the following written comments were received and are part of the record of this hearing: Walter Moa, Discovery Bay, (Letter dated December 27, 1996) is interested in rebuilding his existing motel at it's present location. The interim ordinance does not allow a motel at that site. Al Scalf recommended that this request be carried forward into the review of the Comprehensive Plan. Archie Smith, Chimacum, (Letter dated January 27, 1997) is requesting relief from the 20 acre density on his property in the Chimacum Valley. He is requesting to have a 5 acre density so that he can subdivide and partition some of his land to his family. Craig Jones, Senior Vice President, Pope Resources, (Letter dated February 17, 1997) urges the Board not to adopt lot consolidation in this emergency ordinance. This is a land use tool which should not be considered without thoughtful and thorough consideration, including participation of property owners. Gary Rowe pointed out, and the Board concurred, that written public comments will be taken until 5 p.m. on Friday of this week. (February 21, 1997) The Chairman then opened the public comment portion of the hearing. C .arol RigOe stated that she has two, 2 1/2 acre contingent parcels in Irondale Acres. She has put a lot of money in these parcels and asked if she is in danger of lot consolidation? She stated she needs some answers. Chairman Wojt explained that this ordinance doesn't address lot consolidation. Commissioner Harpole added that it is his assumption that if the Board is going to do a lot consolidation Page 6 Commissioners Meeting Minutes Week of February 18, 1997 ordinance it will be done as a separate ordinance with a public hearing specifically on that ordinance. The Board members concurred that there will not be a lot consolidation attachment to this emergency interim ordinance. Gary Rowe reported that nothing has been prepared by staff on lot consolidation for the Board to consider. The discussion mined to the newspaper story about this heating and how it indicated that lot consolidation would be discussed. Commissioner Huntingford noted that this is a complex issue, and people are trying to figure out what is going to happen and how it will impact them. A1 Scalfreported that the Planning Department staff is working exclusively on the draft Comprehensive Plan. They are not working on any interim ordinance on lot consolidation. This topic will come up during the Comprehen- sive Plan review process. Carol Fisher, 341 McMinn Road, Port Townsend, stated that she is concerned with the adoption of the emergency ordinance. There was no warning when the current interim ordinance was adopted and density was changed. A year ago she was about to subdivide 22 acres and all of a sudden the interim ordinance said she couldn't subdivide to smaller than 10 acres. She wanted to subdivide this parcel into 4 lots. She had no warning and feels that an emergency ordinance bypasses the public heating process and catches people unaware. That creates an unfairness to people who have plans in the works. She held this property from 1975 until retirement, which was a year ago. She feels this is unfair and that the interim ordinance should be dropped. She suggested that the County go back to the rules as they were in early February of last year, until the draft ordinance is approved and has gone through all the public processes. Mark Huth, Attorney, representing Bert Loomis, stated that there was not public notification or public heating prior to the Board adopting this Interim Ordinance. Mr. Loomis came to the County and presented a plan to do a phased multi-family housing development in Port Ludlow. The first IUGA ordinance passed and it allowed multi-family housing, but it didn't make it through the Hearings Board. A second IUGA ordinance was passed and a question came up about whether or not the utilities, in Port Ludlow, would be available to the public. The County's position was that they would not be because Pope Resources controlled them. The second IUGA ordinance was appealed and was found to have problems. This emergency ordinance was a direct response to that IUGA appeal and was intended to address the problems identified by the Hearings Board at the time. Out of the blue a moratorium was imposed and then this Growth Strategies Ordinance was passed. The tables that allow various uses in various zones amended the entire Zoning Ordinance. They nm from general things such as agricultural processing to things that are fairly specialized like blacksmith forges, convenience stores, government offices, professional offices, etc. Multi-family housing has been left out of the allowed uses. Mr. Loomis had numerous discussions with members of the Board, and the Planning Department regarding his project. He had a letter from Pope Resource regarding sewer availability, and had submitted an application for the fn'st phase of his development prior to the moratorium. He had gone through a history of changing the property to commercial use. He would have been able to go Page 7 VOL Commissioners Meeting Minutes Week of February 18~ 1997 forward with his project until this emergency ordinance was adopted. There is no emergency clause in this ordinance, so he feels it is technically not an emergency ordinance. Multi-family housing has been excluded from the entire County, except Port Townsend. Mr. Huth continued by noting that the intent of this ordinance was to stop commercial and industrial development and urban densities outside of the City of Port Townsend which is the only UGA. In kondale the densities have increased because lots of record have been recognized and septic systems can now be installed on lots as small as 5,000 square feet. There have been commercial developments outside of the UGA allowed by this ordinance. One of the only projects that's been prohibited is a multi-family project that was akeady applied for and had gone through one of the appeals of the Hearing Board. Now, it's been administratively deter- mined by the Planning Depaxtment that this project can't go forward under this ordinance. He feels this puts the County in a weak position. This ordinance has been extended to its extreme and if it's extended another six months, defending it as an emergency might be a problem. The ordinance excludes an entire category of use. It particularly impacts a person who brought forward a problem that it was designed to remedy to begin with. There has been no explanation as to why multi-family has been left out of this ordinance. They are requesting that if the ordinance is extended for another six months, that the tables be amended to include multi-family housing and identify which zones will support that type of project. They feel this project should be allowed to go forward without an amendment of this ordinance, but they are requesting that this be fixed in the current ordinance. Commissioner Huntingford asked if Mr. Huth is talking about the Master Plan designation when he refers to the second IUGA ordinance? Mark Huth answered that there was a second IUGA Ordinance. Commissioner Huntingford as if Mr. Huth was the legal counsel for the County at the time that was taking place? Mark Huth answered that he was not. Cy Hcffernan, Coyle, stated that it is his understanding that Section 6.10 is still in this ordinance. It was his understanding that it was withdrawn and then it was put back into the ordinance. A1 Scalfreported that the Board amended the Ordinance on August 19, 1996 by deleting that section. After discussion with the Prosecuting Attorney, he directed that the initial amendment be repealed, the Board directed, in a resolution adopted September 16, 1996, that the Planning Department handle the issues of rural water supply (Section 6) and septic exemptions to the density requirement, administratively by the Director of Community Development. Mr. Heffernan stated that handling these issues administratively still leaves people not knowing what to expect. A public water supply in rural area is not prohibited by GMA and is not considered an urban service. Section 6.10, (1), (2), and (3) do not belong in this ordinance. Dave Clevenger, Jefferson County Home Builders Association, 304 Cherry Avenue, asked why this ordinance is being extended and why the County feels this is an emergency? Commissioner Huntingford noted that the ordinance was put in place to maintain the status quo until such time Page8 ~0L Commissioners Meeting Minutes Week of February 18~ 1997 as the Comprehensive Plan is completed. Dave Clevenger stated that the Comprehensive Plan is to come out next Monday and then it will go through a review process. He again asked why the ordinance should be extended for another six months? Commissioner Huntingford answered that the reason to extend it is the same as the reason it was adopted. It is to protect the County as well as the citizens until such time the Comprehensive Plan is finalized and densities in the rural areas are determined. This ordinance was done to stem subdivision activity until the County has time to review what the community plans are asking for and densities can be determined. Dave Clevenger stated that affordable housing is a concern and now there is no place in the County where multi-family housing is allowed. He asked for a review process for this ordinance, so that some of the things that have been discussed today can be addressed. Gene Seton, 4800 S. Discovery Road, stated that he sat on two community planning committees. The Quimper Planning Committee did a survey and 84% of the people said that they wanted five acre or less density, but the Committee ignored that and put in one to ten and one to twenty acres. There were four people on that committee that put what they wanted into the plan and submitted it to the Planning Department. The committees and the community plans have not been addressed. The map is far from what the community wanted. He asked if Mr. Moa will be allowed to continue his motel business? Business is what pays most of the taxes. We need to get a few things straight around here to keep this County in an economic situation. John Swallow, representing himself and Bishop Brothers Construction, Port Hadlock, stated that he opposes lot consolidation. On minimum lot sizes, he would like to see at least a 10,000 square foot minimum and that it be applied from this point forward and not applied to lots created as far back as 1900. It should be that no new lots can be made that are 10,000 square feet or less. Dave Clevenger stated that the 12,500 square foot lot came up about 3 years ago. A contingency would be needed for land locked lots that are 5,000 square feet, served by City water and could be approved for a conventional septic system. Those lots can't be excluded from the process. The consolidation issue has stirred a lot of debate in the County because some people are looking at losing their investment as well as the right to build on their property. They are willing to donate their time and expertise to help the Board make this decision. A1 Boucher, Port Hadlock, stated that a year has elapsed since this emergency ordinance was adopted. He suggested that it may be prudent to adopt the land use map that will be released on Monday, rather than the map with this ordinance. Chairman Wojt asked how much difference there is between this map and the one that will be coming out with the Comprehensive Plan on Monday? Al Scalfreported that there is a significant difference in the map because it is based on the analysis that is required for Growth Management. Commissioner Huntingford questioned what meaning the map with the Comprehensive Plan will have, when the County has stated that it is to be reviewed, commented Page9 VOt_ 2~ ~'~.[? 134 Commissioners Meeting Minutes Week of February 18~ 1997 on, and changed as a result of that review and comment. He feels this would cause confusion. Gene Seton asked why the Quimper Peninsula and the Tri Area who are asking for densities of 2 V2/lO, can't have it when other Counties are allowing greater densities. These densities should also be allowed in small counties with small populations. A ten acre property can't be served with water other than by a private well. He questioned if the County really wants every 10 acre property to drill a well? On parcels of five acres and under, a community well system would probably work. There are many ordinances in the County that conflict with each other and water is one. Affordable housing hasn't been addressed in any of this. Larry_ Gard, 51 Arcadia West, stated that the building codes and lots and blocks themselves will consolidate lots and blocks. Some smaller lots will be governed by water, septic permits, road easements, setback requirements, etc. There are probably a fewer number of small lots out there than there is on paper. He suggested that the Planning Department talk with the people who own these small lots and fred out what they're going to do with them. He feels the County should listen to these people and fred out what can be done to make it easier for them to consolidate their lots into buildable sites. Julian Arthur, 1637 Washington Street, Port Townsend, he stated concern that if the new map comes out with a different density than what there is now, all the lot lines will be gone. Commissioner Huntingford explained that the map coming out on Monday is for review and comment. A1 Boucher pointed out that the County is proposing to adopt a map that they know is out of date. Commissioner Huntingford noted that the map that is coming out on Monday is for discussion purposes only and it will not take away lot lines. The map that is coming out is for review of what Planning staff has worked on, what the community plans contain, and what the County has to do to meet the intent of Growth Management. Larry Gard asked how grandfathering will work with this? Commissioner Huntingford stated that he doesn't know how that will work. Dave Clevenger pointed out that the planning being done now is for a 20 year growth strategy, but that doesn't mean that growth will stop in 20 years. 84% of Jefferson County is already set aside and even more will be set aside, so that leaves a very small amount of property to deal with growth. What happens if lot consolidation is done and then in 20 years there is no property available to deal with growth? What happens when the County can't take any more growth? Commissioner Huntingford explained that what Mr. Clevenger is saying is true. If there is lot consolidation it will be to protect the options for the next generation. He noted that he, person- ally is not in favor of lot consolidation. Dave Clevenger explained that GMA was designed to put growth in urban areas and preserve the rural areas for agricultural and foresflands, what Page 10 Commissioners Meeting Minutes Week of February 18, 1997 happens with larger densities is the promotion of rural sprawl. It promotes the sale of larger parcels to people who can afford to come and purchase 10 acres and put in a well. There has been a lot of talk during the last six years about preserving the aquifer areas, groundwater resources and fish habitat. But, by doing what we're doing, we're promoting rural sprawl. A lot of issues have to deal with lot availability and to have options like cluster housing in rural areas, and have a Class A or B water system to allow only one perforation of the aquifer to serve the densities needed. These are the issues that need to be faced and clear direction from the Board is needed on what can be done in the interim. Gene Seton said there was an ordinance a year or so ago, on the record, that the County would honor lots of record. Hearing no further comments for or against the proposed ordinance, the Chairman closed the public testimony portion of the hearing. Written comments will be accepted until 5 p.m. on Friday (February 21, 1997.) Commissioner Huntingford asked when the Board will be reviewing the public comments and if there is a time limit for extending the ordinance? A1 Scalf answered that the requirement is that a public hearing be held within one year. The ordinance provisions (Section 8 Expiration) say that the provisions of the ordinance will cease to be effective upon the adoption by the County of a final development regulation that implements the revised Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan. A workshop will be set up next week to review the comments and determine if any changes should be made to the ordinance. Commissioner Huntingford noted that he would like discussion on the following issues: the ability for people who own a large parcel of property to give a portion to a family member; minimum lot sizes; and language to specify a date that the County will not recognize sites under a certain size and that any pre-existing lots will be looked at and considered on a case by case basis. Commissioner Harpole also asked that the following be addressed in the workshop: 10,000 square foot minimum lot size; will the minimum lot size change if the lot has access to City water; the multi-family housing issue; the public water supply issue; and how an established business can be allowed to continue if it is not in a rural center. Senior Planner John Holgate explained that in the draft Comprehensive Plan language any existing business that is not within an existing crossroad or rural center are encouraged to continue and expand. They are called an existing legal use. The Board then interviewed the following persons interested in serving on the Page 11 Commissioners Meeting Minutes Week of February 18~ 1997 Planning Commission: Phil Andros, District 2; Linda Driver, District 3; Heidi Hall, District 1; Janet Welch, District 3; Bryon Monohon, District 2; Silvia White, District 3; William B. Woolf, District 2; Marjorie Mueller, District 3; and Penny Herdck, District 3. The meeting was recessed at the end of the scheduled business and reconvened on Wednesday moming with all three Board members present. Clallam Jefferson Community Action Council re: Emergency Shelter Grant Proposah Patrice Daylo, Housing Services Director for the Clallam Jefferson Community Action Council, reported that CAC is joining with the Domestic Violence Sexual Assault Program to seek funding from the McKinney Homeless Programs of the State Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development. CAC is asking for $4,119.00 and Domestic Violence is asking for $6,950.00. These funds will be used for emergency shelter programs by both agencies. If the funding is not approved CAC will have to reduce program staff and the number of shelters available. Commissioner Huntingford asked if the County or CAC would be required to provide these services if the funding runs out? Patrice Daylor answered that with the other sources of funding, even if these State funds aren't approved, they would be able to continue a portion of the program. Commissioner Huntingford moved to have the Chairman sign the certification as requested for the Emergency Shelter grant application. Chairman Wojt seconded the motion in the temporary absence of Commissioner Harpole. The motion carded. CONTRACT re: 1997 Community Service Grant Funding; Brinnon Senior Organization: Commissioner Huntingford moved to approve the agreement with the Brinnon Senior Center Organization for funding for 1997 from the Community Services Fund. Chairman Wojt seconded the motion in the temporary absence of Commissioner Harpole. The motion carded. - ' L°ma Del~es~C Clerk of~e Bo~d Page 12
