The notice was published in the Port Townsend&Jefferson County Leader on August 7th and August 14th, 2019.The Conservation Futures Program(JCC 3.08)requires a duly noticed public hearing to be held as part of the public process of allocating conservation futures funding to worthy projects that protect public open spaces. After the hearing,the BoCC may decide which project(s)to fund by passing resolution(s)to include a factual finding as to whether each project would reduce the county's capacity to accommodate growth. ANALYSIS/STRATEGIC GOALS: The four applications to the Conservation Futures Fund in 2019 are: 1. 2019 QWC Addition, $28,200 total request($1,500 for 0&M and$26,700 for acquisition)towards the fee simple purchase of two parcels totalling 0.8 acres in the Quimper Wildlife Corridor and Cappy's Woods near Cook Avenue and 49th Street.The properties contain high quality habitats including second growth forest and forested wetlands,and they enhance connectivity with existing protected lands.0&M funds will be used for stewardship and monitoring.The proposed match of $30,300 is derived from a land donation and cash contribution.Jefferson Land Trust is the project sponsor and applicant. Project location: Sections 33 and 34,T31N, RI W. 2. Dosewallips River Lazy C Phase I, $7,649 towards the fee simple acquisition of two shoreline parcels equaling 0.86 acres in the lower Lazy C community, upstream of Brinnon near Dosewallips Road, in order to support habitat restoration efforts to recover Hood Canal Summer Chum salmon in the Dosewallips River.The proposed match is$43,343 from the RCO Salmon Recovery Funding Board. Community Health Developmental Disabilities 360-385-9400 - -1'- 360-385-9401 (I) Always working for a safer and healthier community Jefferson County Environmental Public Health is the project sponsor and applicant. Project location: Section 34,T26N,R2 W. 3. Quilcene Headwaters to Bay, $155,000 total request($5,000 for 0&M and$150,000 for acquisition) towards the purchase of a conservation easement on 80 acres along Jakeway Creek north of Quilcene Bay.The easement would permanently protect wildlife habitat,farmland and forests.The proposed match of$184,000 includes funds from the Navy REPI Program and a cash donation.Jefferson Land Trust is the project sponsor and applicant. Project location: Section 18,T27N, R1 W. 4. Tarboo Forest Addition, $110,000 towards the purchase of a conservation easement on 21 acres along Center Road north of Quilcene as an addition to the Tarboo Wildlife Preserve and in order to help protect a wildlife corridor,the standing timber volume,and the water quality and hydrology of a Tarboo Creek tributary. The proposed match is$150,000 from the Navy REPI Program.Northwest Watershed Institute is the project applicant;Jefferson Land Trust is the project sponsor. Project location: Section 32,T28N,R1 W. At its May 1"t meeting,the Conservation Futures Citizen Oversight Committee(CF Committee)voted all in favor that each of the four projects are worthy of funding, and it developed specific award recommendations that were subsequently presented to the BoCC.At its July 9th meeting,the CF Committee updated these amounts, in response to a revised(downward)calculation of the amount of funding available,and Chair Christian presented them to the BoCC on July 22'. Due to the limited CF funds available, only three of the projects are recommended for funding and one, the Quilcene Headwaters to Bay project, at a reduced amount. The project sponsor,Jefferson Land Trust, withdrew the 2019 QWC Addition project in a July 8th email. The total of recommended awards, $236,000, is equal to the funds available this year. This briefing packet contains: Four conservation futures project applications and the relevant sponsor information. Updated Conservation Futures Citizen Oversight Committee recommendations(delivered on July 22, 2019) • Map of conservation futures projects 2003-2018 • Letter from Joel Peterson,Jefferson County Department of Community Development, regarding the three projects located in the County. • Letter from Judy Surber, City of Port Townsend, regarding the one project located in the City. • Draft resolutions consistent with the recommendations of the CF Citizen Oversight Committee: o Tarboo Forest Addition-$110,000 o Quilcene Headwaters to Bay-$118,351 o Dosewallips River Lazy C-$7,649 o 2019 QWC Addition-$0 The purpose of the CF Program is to address the"general and increasing need to provide a system of public open spaces...for the health,welfare, benefit and safety of the residents of Jefferson County,"and to maintain"Jefferson County as a desirable place to live,visit and locate businesses."Conservation futures tax levy collections,authorized under RCW 84.34.230 are an important means of retaining community character and accomplishing open space policies and objectives of the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan. The goal of the program is to preserve and protect the county's open space resources from development, and from being"negatively and permanently affected." Community Health Environmental Public Health Developmental Disabilities Water Quality 360-385-9400 360-385-9444 360-385-940I (f) Always working for a safer and healthier community (f)360-379-4487 On January 3,2006,the BOCC approved Ordinance No. 01-0103-06 in response to Chapter 449 of that year which allowed up to 15%of the conservation future levy monies raised in the preceding year to be used for operations and maintenance needs. Fifteen percent of the revenue collected in 2018($284,064)is $42,610. However,The CF Committee is not specifically recommending the award of operations and maintenance funding this year. Chapter 449 also states that local governments must consider and develop findings on whether or not new CF projects would reduce the County's capacity to accommodate planned growth. Grant agreements for approved projects between Jefferson Land Trust and the county will be developed by Environmental Public Health and submitted to the BoCC for approval. FISCAL IMPACT: The explicit purpose of the Conservation Futures Program is to fund acquisition projects to support a system of public open spaces. There is no impact to the General Fund for this effort. The following projects are anticipated to close during the remainder of 2019: Snow Creek Middle Reach Forest Protection: $25,385 Resolution No. 46-18 Bishop Dairy: $56,225 Resolution No.20-15 Pending project approval -Tarboo Forest Addition: $110,000 Pending project approval- Dosewallips River Lazy C: $7,649 The following previously approved projects are anticipated to close after 2019: Ruby Ranch: $60,000 Resolution No. 45-18 Marrowstone Mize: $45,000 Resolution No. 48-18 Serendipity Farm: $106,600 Resolution No. 24-17 Big Quilcene River Moon Valley Reach(2'of 2 properties): $2,500 Resolution No. 28-16 Pending project approval-Quilcene Headwaters to Bay: $118,351 RECOMMENDATION: 1) Review the four project proposals brought forth by the Oversight Committee. 2) Hold a public hearing on August 19, 2019 at 10:00 AM. Consider the written and oral testimony at the public hearing and adopt any of the enclosed funding resolutions(with or without revisions)for project proposals and funding amounts that the Commissioners may wish to approve.

Dosewallips River Lazy C Phase 1 Warranty Deed and Easement 3. Quilcene Headwaters to Bay Easement 4. Tarboo Forest Addition Easement Summary of DCD Findings for 2019 Conservation Futures Program: The Department of Community Development (DCD) reviewed the proposed 2019 Jefferson County Conservation Futures Program Property Acquisition and/or Operations and Maintenance Projects and provides the following findings. When a local government chooses to use Conservation Futures Fund money to purchase an interest in land, it must consider and analyze whether taking land out of the 'pool' of land that can be developed leaves enough land subject to development to accommodate allocated housing and employment growth (RCW 84.34.240). From our analysis, we provide two findings to support this requirement and additional findings from the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan. Methods: Housing Analysis: DCD reviews the estimated number of potential dwelling units that could be forgone by the Conservation Futures actions and the effect this may have on the County's ability to accommodate our projected 20-year population growth (2018-2038); and how the actions may affect the County's ability to provide employment growth in the same 20-year planning period. Note that any determination made in this exercise is only an estimate based on zoning and a map review of possible site conditions. Employment Growth Analysis: Impacts on Jefferson County's ability to provide for anticipated employment growth, resulting from the Conservation Futures program actions, were reviewed by observing current employment conditions in the vicinity of the project parcels, the prevalent employment sector in the area, and consideration of any other potential effects resulting from conservation action that may limit or enhance the County's ability to provide for economic development or jobs. Findings: 1. Housing. The proposed acquisitions and easements of the 2019 Conservation Futures program would extinguish development rights or purchase land for conservation purposes which would preclude the opportunity for approximately 12 theoretical single- family dwelling units and accessory dwelling units (ADUs) total. Jefferson County has a documented surplus of vacant and underdeveloped parcels which can accommodate the land needs of the projected population during the 20-year planning period (2018-2038 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element). The proposed conservation actions do not reduce the County's capacity to accommodate future planned growth. 2. Employment Growth. No commercial areas are included in the protected properties. None of the properties are within or near a rural commercial area or urban growth area. Employment or business development that could be forgone by loss of residential dwelling units may include home business or cottage industry opportunities. There has been no identified reduction in rural employment due to any shortage of residential parcels that could support home business or cottage industry. Employment in the project areas would likely consist of home businesses, cottage industries or in the natural resources sectors. Limited loss of timber harvest on residential parcels would not make up a significant loss of commercial forestry in Jefferson County. Natural resource conservation has been identified as playing a role in economic development, contributing to a draw of economic development interests to the area due quality of life and a healthy environment. Additional Findings from the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan: 3. The action is consistent with the goals and policies of the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan for the preservation and enhancement of open space. The Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan identifies goals and policies for the preservation and enhancement of open space as follows: • Policy LU-P-15.2 Protect open space consistent with the goals and policies of this plan and in cooperation with County Conservation Futures and other land conservation programs. • Open Space Goal OS-G-1 guides Jefferson County to "Preserve and improve the quality, value and extent of open space lands." Open Space Policy OS-P-1.4 "Identify and conserve critical wildlife habitat, including nesting sites, foraging areas, and migration corridors within or adjacent to natural areas, open spaces, and developed urban areas. Preserve especially sensitive habitat sites that support threatened species and wildlife habitat in developed areas." • Natural Resources Goal NR-G-1 guides Jefferson County to "Encourage the conservation and long-term sustainable use of resource lands so their continued future use will not be precluded by other uses; and encourage the long-term sustainability of natural resource-based economic activities through Jefferson County. 2 • Economic Development Goal ED-G-6 guides Jefferson County to "Encourage economic development that sustains natural resources and open spaces, protects environmental quality, encourages non-motorized recreation and transportation, and enhances Jefferson County's overall quality of life." 4. The Dosewallips River Lazy C Phase I project includes land mapped by FEMA as "Floodway" and "Zone AE" which are high risk areas if considered for residential development. It also includes areas in Shoreline Jurisdiction designated "Natural" and "Priority Aquatic", and the action is consistent with Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Goals: • SMP conservation goals address the protection of natural resources, scenic vistas, aesthetics, and vital shoreline areas for fisheries and wildlife for the benefit of present and future generations. JCC 18.25.120. • SMP restoration and enhancement goals address reestablishment, rehabilitation and improvement of impaired shoreline ecological functions, values and/or processes. JCC 18.25.170. 5. None of the proposals include property in an Urban Growth Area or Rural Commercial area.

It is our understanding that the"2019 QWC Addition" involves 2 parcels in QWC and 50th Street Drainage Corridor area(Fowlers Park Addition and Montana Addition). Specifically: Gressley: 951900902 (Fowler's Park Addition, Block 9, Lots 4-6) Jones: 972900501 (Montana Addition, Block 5, Lots 2,4,6& 8) You had asked whether permanent preservation of these 2 parcels "would reduce the capacity of land suitable for development necessary to accommodate the allocated housing and employment growth, as adopted in the countywide planning policies". Based on our review of the projected population, Comprehensive goals and policies and existing zoning of the parcels, the answer is no, placing these parcels in permanent preservation would not reduce the capacity of land suitable for development necessary to accommodate the allocated housing and employment growth, as adopted in the countywide planning policies. In association with the City's 2016 GMA Periodic Update, population and employment projections were assessed. The updated forecast and allocation anticipated a significantly slower growth rate than was projected under the City's initial GMA Comprehensive Plan in 1996. In fact, the updated allocation anticipates Port Townsend's 2036 population will be 1,711 less than was projected for the year 2016 under the original GMA Plan. The analysis concluded that the City has adequate capacity to accommodate anticipated housing and employment growth. Both parcels are within the "Potential Park and Open Space" (P/OS(A))overlay as identified on the City's Land Use Map. The P/OS(A) overlay includes areas that may have the potential to be included within a comprehensive and interconnected system of open space and trails. Purchase of these properties was identified as a means of implementing the open space overlay. In addition: • Gressley Parcel (3 lots, .34 acres) is zoned R-I (low density single-family, 10,000 sf minimum lot size). The entire site is mapped landslide and erosion hazard area. Given the size of the parcel, only one house would be allowed by the zoning district. • Jones Parcel (4 lots, .45 acres) is zoned R-I (low density single-family, 10,000 sf minimum lot size). Nearly the entire parcel is mapped wetland and would likely require a reasonable use exception to construct a residence. In addition, Comprehensive Plan Policy 3.4 of the Land Use Element encourages the City to consider purchasing areas within Winona Wetlands and 50th Street Wetlands and Drainage Corridor as a means of retaining wetlands, drainage corridors and native habitat. We are pleased to see the parcels recommended for preservation and are hopeful that the Commissioners approve the application.
