Final Subdivision Approval. SUB95-0047: Walker Mountain Meadows Short Plat ANP Final Subdivision Approval. SUB95-0097: Madrone Rid2e Short ~ Commissioner Hinton explained that when the summary approval for SUB95-0047, Walker Mountain Meadows Short Plat, was considered by this Board a motion was made that 30 feet would be reconveyed back to property owner. The Public Works Department still shows the original condition of approval that was changed by this motion. This matter will be remanded back to the Public Works Department for correction. Commissioner Hinton then questioned the open space dedication required and if it is in compliance with the Court ruling that says that the amount of open space dedicated must be commensurate to the impact of the subdivision? AI Scalf stated that he would check on this and report back at the next meeting. Commissioner Hinton expressed concern on both of these subdivisions, because he pointed out that there is nothing in the Subdivision Ordinance which precludes further subdivision of the lots in a short plat with less than 4 lots. He questioned what regula- tions further subdivision of one of these lots would be vested under? AI Scalf will check on this with the Prosecuting Attorney. Commissioner Hinton then moved to approve the Madrone Ridge Short Plat SUB95- 0097. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Bill Lewis and Pat Powell. Department of Natural Resources re: Grant N...Purchase Sens~abob Bay - National Area Preserves Program: Bill Lewis introduced Pat Powell and several representatives of the State Department of Natural Resources. They explained the Natural Area Preserve program and the plans for expanding the Dabob Preserve. The Dabob Preserve was established in 1988 because it contained three high quality plant communities (salt marsh plants). There are 46 pre- serves state wide. These Preserves are managed to protect the elements, and to provide educational opportunities. The preserves use volunteer site stewards. Part of the area on Dabob is held by the State, and the Nature Conservancy owns a portion of the area, which will be purchased by the State. A $150,000 grant was received from the National Fish and Wildlife Service to provide funding for acquisitions in this area. This is a willing seller program. Page 3 VOL 2 2 r~~~ 0 .1086 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of June 10, 1996 ßequest for Determination re: Home Business Expansion; Red Barn RV. Beaver Valley Road: Ron Riggle. Applicant: Community Development Director AI Scalf reported that Ron Riggle is requesting an expansion of his business on Beaver Valley Road by building another 60 foot by 60 foot building behind his existing building on the same site. Last July his request for a Conditional Use Pennit to place this building on an adjacent parcel was denied by the Hearing Examiner. The Permit Center has been working on this request and trying to determine if this should be considered a non conforming use and a Home Business, and to determine if the regulations for non- conforming uses allow for this expansion/alteration. The parcel of property is 8 acres in SIZe. Michelle Grewell, Permit Technician, expressed concern about meeting the defInition of expansion of a Home Business in the Zoning Code and the Comprehensive Plan if this request is approved. Also if approving this request would have any affect on any other parties submitting the same request. This is a home business that was originally approved on a "temporary" basis in 1989. Temporary was not defmed, however. At that time the applicant was looking for commercial property in the Tri Area for this business. Commissioner Hinton pointed out that this is a non-conforming use whether it is considered a conditional use or a home business and that either of these are allowed to be expanded. He explained that in the rural area, Home Businesses on five acres or more are not limited to the 2,500 foot limitation. Michelle Grewell agreed that the 2,500 foot limit would not apply, but pointed out that there is a limitation of some sort. There is a conflict in the current Zoning Code between the text and the use tables, Commissioner Hinton noted. Coverage should not be a question if the provisions of the Bulk and Dimensional requirements (Section 12) are followed. Ron Riggle stated that he is not going to use the existing building for his business once the new building is completed. He explained that he and his father own the corporation and his father still lives on the property. Michelle Grewell stated that there is no clear defInition of what expansion of a Home Business includes. She said this is clearly a commercial activity in the R5 Zone (fonnerly a G 1 Zone.) The Countywide Growth Policy says that the fringes of the Chimacum Valley should be considered rural and should be characterized by low to medium density, developments served by individual on-site septic, and wells, and facilities and services should be rural in nature. She questioned if adding a building is in keeping with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code for a Home Business in a Rural area? AI Scalf reported that Chapter 10 of the Zoning Code, which covers non-conforming uses, indicates that alterations and expansions of structures which house non-conforming uses shall be subject to the applicable bulk and dimension requirments. The expansion or alteration required to meet a federal or State law will be allowed to the extent required to meet those regulations. This would be applicable in this instance to improve the access to Beaver Valley Road and may warrant this change in use. Chainnan Wojt asked if the Interim Ordinance is applied to this project? AI Scalf reported that this project was vested under previous regulations. The discussion continued about Mr. Riggle's plans, and the nature of his business at the site. Commissioner Hinton stated that he can't fmd anything in the Zoning Code that precludes the expansion of this business. He noted that as far as setting a precedent, the problem is the ordinance, not the project. Any new project in this area would be required to meet the provisions of the Zoning Code. AI Scalf recommended that this expansion be allowed to occur in the interest of public safety due to the access to the site. The permit Page 4 'IOL 22 ~~~ç 01.08t{ Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of June 10, 1996 will be conditioned to include improvements to the access and turn around area by the barn. Commissioner Hinton moved to approve this request with the conditions as recommended by staff. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Twana Road House (Cafe). Quilcene: Mr. Bacchus, ApplkD..n.t. Com- missioner Hinton reported that the Health Department is holding up the septic system pennit for this project because the water system approval has not been issued yet. Commissioner Huntingford noted that the well is near where the new drainfield will be installed and the State Department of Health will approve the water system plan which will include the decertification of the well. The Health Department is concerned that the applicant not use the issuance of the septic pennit as leverage to get approval for the water plan. Chainnan Wojt stated that he doesn't feel it's proper for the Health Department to hold up the septic pennit until the water system approval is given, especially since the water approval comes from the State Department of Health, not the County. The Board concurred that the septic permit approval should be issued because it is not contingent on the water system approval. MEETING ADJOURNED ~ \.~ on, Member ..-.-' ....... /,/" .
