He is concerned that there may be a precedent set regarding the Board's working arrangement with the Prosecuting Attorney's Office if this project is approved. Commissioner Huntingford pointed out that it is the Prosecuting Attorneys job to defend any decision the Board makes. The Chairman called for a vote on the motion. The motion carried by a unanimous vote. Mike Ajax reo' Fire Suppression: Al Scalf introduced the members of the Fire Code Advisory Committee that were present. Building Official Mike Ajax reported that the Fire Code Advisory Committee was established by Resolution No. 59-95. The Committee Members represent areas of special knowledge including the Fire Chiefs and Fire Commissioners, the home building industry, the fire insurance industry, the petroleum industry, and the liquified petroleum industry. The Committee provides advise and recommendations to the Commissioners and the Building Official on fire flow issues. Mike Ajax explained that the Airport is an example of fire flow review. The Airport is served by the City of Port Townsend water system, but the City is unable to supply the necessary amount of water for fire flow. The PUD has agreed to supply water to the Airport and to provide the necessary fire flow. Mike Ajax then quoted from the Consolidated Water System Plan (page 415-416.) The Port was the lead agency and went through SEP A review on the projects at the Airport. Commissioner Harpole asked if there is an agreement about what the PUD will be providing to the Port for fire flow on the Airport properties and when these requirements will be met? The discussion continued regarding the development at the Airport and what is needed in writing. Tom McNerny, Fire Code Advisory Committee, reviewed a draft ordinance to regulate fire flow. He explained that providing fire flow means to provide water at a site for the Fire Department's use to confine a fire to one property and to extinguish the fire. Dave Clevenger, Fire Code Advisory Committee Member, urged the Board to pass this draft ordinance to address many of the concerns that the Fire Code Advisory Committee has been dealing with over the past few years. Dave Clevenger reported that there is consensus among the Fire Chiefs in the County that this is a good ordinance. Al Scalf stated that this ordinance is needed in the County and he advised that the Planning Department will add it to their work plan if that is the desire of the Board. Commissioner Harpole moved that Planning staff work with the Fire Code Advisory Committee as soon as possible to develop findings of Page 3 VOL 23 M,: 921 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of December 1, 1997 fact, facilitate the legal review, and set a public hearing on this draft ordinance. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. PUBLIC WORKS Director's Update: Klara Fabry updated the Board on the following: * She introduced Robert Turpen, the new Design and Construction Engineer for the Public Work Department. * The technical stormwater problem for the Port Ludlow #7 Development has been addressed and solved. The only concern that remains is the lack of assurance that there will be maintenance on the detention pond. The formation of a stormwater district would provide a higher level of assurance for this maintenance. * The executive summary of the results of the Solid Waste Survey was presented and reviewed with the Board. * The adjacent property owner on the Old Gardiner Road Project has a deadline to respond to the County before the project can continue.
