Commissioner Huntingford and Commissioner Titterness were both present. COUNTYADMINISTRATOR BRIEFING SESSION. • County Administrator David Goldsmith reported: • There is an air quality issue in a portion of the Prosecuting Attorney's Office where some renovation has been done. A series of tests were done and testing equipment is being brought in to see if mold is the problem. • Representatives from Black and Veitch, fiber optics engineers, were here last week to gather information on developing a fiber optics network proposal. David Brader, WSU in Port Hadlock, has put together a presentation on the subject that he will present at the Chamber of Commerce meeting. • The Sesquicentennial Open House is this Friday from 5 to 8 p.m. The Historical Society has put together an exhibit of Jefferson County over the past 150 years that will be on display in the Courthouse. The Washington State Sesquicentennial Color Guard will also be here. • The GEMS contract for the software and conversion of the current financial system has been delayed pending the resolution of Public Works work order system. The company is working on a proposal to address this issue. • Sheriff -Elect Brasfield has several issues that he will need to deal with from the previous administration. The most pressing one is the information management system for cases created through the 911 system and jail. The County purchased a new 911 answering system that included software that establishes a record when a 911 call is received. The current Sheriff didn't like the new system because there were some problems; and he decided to continue using the old system to track the cases for the Sheriff's log. A system is needed that will integrate with the 911 system and the City's system The ACLU lawsuit about the jail focuses on 2 issues, 1) how the County provides medical services to inmates, especially prescription drugs, and 2) the number of sick call days available. SABRA, International sent the County a letter about their interest in purchasing the Garten Estates Page 1 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of December 9, 2002 / Long Plat. They have requested that the plat be put into escrow and not filed until the outstanding mitigations are complete. He asked if the Board agrees with this procedure? The Board concurred. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The following comments were made: the Board needs to have verification from DCD that all conditions have been met on Consent Agenda Item #8; the project at Kala Square was begun in 1986, the regulations have changed several times, and it is not in the public interest for projects to be vested in perpetuity; support for the Glen Cove LAMIRD expansion; state and local governments are experiencing large budget deficits and new sources of revenue will need to be found; the County needs to encourage new businesses that will provide good paying jobs for residents; there is too much retail leakage to Clallam and Kitsap County; the Planning Commission has dedicated a great deal of volunteer time gathering as much information as possible regarding the Comprehensive Plan Amendments in order to make the right recommendations to the Board of Commissioners; a Planning Commission member submitted a letter to the Board about the Planning Commission's work; support for the expansion of Glen Cove; it's time to make a decision on Glen Cove; and how can the Democratic Party be totally against the Fred Hill MRL designation and still subscribe to the GMA?; and the Glen Cove decision needs to be done now so the County can move forward. APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF THE CONSENT AGENDA: Commissioner Titterness moved to delete Item #8 on the Consent Agenda and to approve the balance of the items as presented. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion that carried by a unanimous vote. 1. RESOLUTION NO. 76-02 re: Creating a County Project Designated as CR1623; Plans, Specifications and Estimates for Removal and Replacement of Existing Culverts with a Fish Passable Structure; Duckabush Road 2.

RESOLUTION NO. 78-02 re: Creating a County Project Designated as CR1625; Replace an Existing Culvert with a Fish Passable Structure; Dabob Road 4. RESOLUTION NO. 79-02 re: Creating a County Project Designated as CR1626; Replace an Existing Culvert with a Fish Passable Structure; Clearwater Road 5. AGREEMENT re: Olympic Gateway Visitor Center, Phase I - Survey and Mapping, Phase II - Soils Analysis/Septic Feasibility; Jefferson County Public Works; Northwestern Territories, Inc. 6.

AGREEMENT No. LA -3905, TA -0805, Supplement #3 re: Upper Hoh Road Bank Protection; Jefferson County Public Works; Washington State Department of Transportation DELETE: Final Binding Site Plan, 4BSP86-0001, Kala Square Partnership; Commercial Mini -Mall Located Off of Prospect Avenue and SRI (Airport Cut-off Road) Intersection, Port Townsend; Joe and Renata Wheeler, Applicants Page 2 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of December 9, 2002 / HEARING re: Setting Ad Valorem Tax Levies for Collection in 2003: County Administrator David Goldsmith advised that the 2003 budget has been developed based on a 1% property tax levy increase for Roads, Conservation Futures and the Current Expense Fund and a minimum levy for the Veterans Relief Fund. Chairman Wojt advised that he wants the Board to consider using the County's banked capacity to establish an emergency fund for the County Road Fund to help defray costs in dealing with natural emergencies. Assessor Jack Westerman cautioned that the legislation on the use of banked capacity is currently being debated. However, at this time, State law allows the Legislative Authority to use any amount of banked capacity. He suggested creating the criteria for the emergency fund first because 70% of the voters in Port Townsend have indicated that they want to be able to vote on any use of their taxes. Chairman Wojt responded that a special election to take an issue to the voters costs 1% and would defeat the purpose. Chairman Wojt opened the public testimony portion of the hearing. Alan Frank, Port Townsend, reiterated that the result of an advisory ballot in Port Townsend was an ordinance passed by the City Council that doesn't allow more than a 1% increase in taxes without a vote of the people. This includes using the banked capacity. The State is cutting funding because their budget is out of control. Government can't be given free reign. Any increase more than 1% needs to go to the voters. An emergency fund may be set up with the best intentions, but what if new Commissioners are elected and they think they know a better way to use that funding? Touching the banked capacity is a tax increase. It is his understanding that banked capacity is created with an ordinance and he asked the Board to repeal those ordinances and get rid of the banked capacity. It is always a good policy to show a clear need to increase taxes. Hearing no further comments for or against the setting the tax levies, the Chair closed the public hearing. Later in the day: Commissioner Huntingford moved to approve the following resolutions and the letter setting the ad valorem tax rates for collection in 2003: • RESOLUTION NO. 80-02; Increase for the County General Fund Levy for 2003 Taxes • RESOLUTION NO. 81-02; Increase for the County Road Levy for 2003 Taxes • RESOLUTION NO. 82-02; Increase for the County Conservation Futures Levy for 2003 Taxes • Letter to the County Assessor regarding Exceeding the $1.80 Levy Limitation for 2003 Commissioner Titterness seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Page 3 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of December 9, 2002 / HEARING re: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Application; 2003 Public Service Grant: David Goldsmith reported that this is an annual grant application and the County sponsors OlyCAP as an agency for this application. Tim Hockett, Deputy Director, OlyCAP, reported that the amount of the grant is $127,646 and the County receives $3,000 for administering the grant. Tim Hockett then reviewed the services provided in 2002. These funds are combined with Community Service Block Grant funds and total approximately $220,000 that leverages almost $8 million in services that come into Jefferson and Clallam County. Each year they submit a list of goals for their services that help people with employment, education, money management, housing, emergency assistance, and nutrition. In the first 6 months of 2002, they had surpassed their goals. The main OlyCAP office is in Jefferson County and they contract with the County to provide other services that are funded by the State and Federal governments. Their services include: • Operating the community centers • Senior meals for the centers and for people in their homes • Headstart and ECAP • A daycare center for low income people who need childcare so they can work • Emergency shelter for people off the street • Transitional and subsidized housing In addition, they are developing affordable housing for seniors and will begin a housing rehabilitation program this year. They cover a broad range of services, the administration for each program has become very complex. In Brinnon, they are collaborating with the school to provide food service from the Senior Center. With the help of funding from the Federal Transit Administration and the State, they have developed a job access van program on the Westend. They recently received $50,762 from the Washington Dental Society Foundation that will double their capacity to provide emergency dental services and dental hygiene services through portable equipment at sites throughout Jefferson and Clallam County for people who are uninsured and low income. Some of their programs haven't been as successful, such as Blackberries Restaurant at Fort Worden and they have had to restructure Kite Strings Daycare. Chairman Wojt opened the public testimony portion of the hearing. Hearing no comments for or against the CDBG Application for 2003, Chairman Wojt closed the public hearing. Commissioner Titterness moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 83-02 regarding certification of compliance for the CDBG Public Services Grant. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Page 4 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of December 9, 2002 / Washington State Department of Natural Resources re: Timber Revenue Update: Charley Courtelou, DNR, updated the Board on the actual revenues from timber sales in 2002 and the projected revenue to the County from timber sales in 2003. In 2004, they plan to look at increasing the value by removing more pole volume which is a much higher value product. More and more landowners in State Forest areas are concerned about tree harvesting. Due to this concern, DNR has begun seeking more public input and interacting with adjacent landowners on timber sales. This has increased the workload. In the next year, the DNR will be conducting an overall geological assessment on their land on the Coyle Peninsula. They will be looking at unstable slopes in the area where they would not allow harvesting. They have developed an asset assessment plan for the Olympic Peninsula that still needs final approval. They plan to do a presentation on it at their next meeting with the Board. HEARING NOTICE re: Community Development and Housing Needs; South Seven Senior Housing Proposal; Olympic Community Action Program: Commissioner Huntingford moved to schedule a hearing on CDBG funding for the South Seven Senior Housing Proposal for Monday, December 16, 2002 at 10:30 a.m. in the Commissioners Chambers. Commissioner Titterness seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. The Board then met in Executive Session from 11:15 to 11:45 a.m. with the County Administrator, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney and the Director of Community Development regarding potential litigation. Discussion re: The Glen Cove LAMIRD: David Goldsmith explained that a question was raised about whether the hearing notice on the Glen Cove LAMIRD provided ample opportunity for public input about the area between Glen Cove and the City of Port Townsend. There have been discussions about designating that area as an urban reserve or an industrial reserve. Commissioner Titterness responded that if the Board approves the LAMIRD, they have three options: to accept the Planning Commission's recommendation, to accept the staff's recommendation, or to modify those recommendations. The Planning Commission's recommendation expanded the LAMIRD to the City limits because there is a question about whether an industrial reserve designation is allowed in Jefferson County. This area is currently zoned rural residential because that is the "default" zoning in GMA if nothing else applies. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney David Alvarez cautioned that there is no industrial reserve designation in the UDC and the UDC would have to be amended before that designation could be made. Commissioner Titterness pointed out that the concept of a different designation for this property has been discussed throughout the public process. Page 5 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of December 9, 2002 / Commissioner Huntingford agreed that the property needs to have a different designation more in keeping with the designation of the adjacent property, but he does not want to see everything thrown out because of a lack of public input or process questions. David Goldsmith stated that the property is currently eligible for an MID designation if a proposal is brought forward. He suggested that next year staff can address the industrial reserve designation. Deliberation and Determination re: Nineteen (19) Comprehensive Plan Amendments: Associate Planner Randy Kline noted that the Board will review the final 2002 Comprehensive Plan Amendment docket in the order listed in the handout. The handout includes the amendment description, the Planning Commission recommendation, and the staff recommendation for each amendment. Planning Commission and staff recommendations on the Glen Cove LAMIRD boundary and the Tri Area UGA boundary are also available. This process began on May 1, initial staff recommendations were issued on August 7 and 21, and draft and supplemental environmental impact statements related to the docket were issued on August 21 and November 25. The Planning Commission held public hearings on the 19 amendments and the final recommendation from the Planning Commission was submitted to the Board on November 22. The Board has received copies of all Planning Commission minutes and comment letters received to date. The Board held 2 workshops with staff to discuss the Planning Commission's recommendations. Based on these workshops, the Board decided to hold their own public hearings on 6 of the amendments. These hearings were held December 5 and 6. Staff will give a brief description of each amendment and indicate the final Planning Commission and staff recommendations and be available for any questions. Director of Community Development Al Scalf outlined the UDC procedures on Comprehensive Plan Amendments. MLA01-446 This proposal for a Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map redesignation was submitted by Gene Seton. The 20 acres is located south of the County transfer station property and is currently zoned rural residential, 1 dwelling per 10 acres. The request is to change the designation to a mineral resource lands overlay district. The Planning Commission and DCD staff both recommend approval of the amendment. Commissioner Huntingford moved to accept the amendment as proposed consistent with the Planning Commission recommendation and the August 21, 2002 staff report as conditioned through the FEIS and designate this property as a mineral resource land overlay district. Commissioner Tittlerness seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. MLA01-580 This proposal for a Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map redesignation was submitted by Robert and Georgia Madden. The 33 acres is located in the Glen Cove area and is currently zoned rural residential, 1 dwelling per 20 acres. The request is to change the designation to a rural residential district, 1 dwelling per 5 acres. The Planning Commission and staff both recommend approval of this amendment. Page 6 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of December 9, 2002 / Commissioner Titterness moved to approve MLA01-580 consistent with the recommendations of staff and the Planning Commission. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. MLA01-613 This proposal for a Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map redesignation was submitted by Elaine Thornberg. The 22 acres are located in the Oak Bay area and are currently zoned rural residential, 1 dwelling per 20 acres. The request is to change the designation to a rural residential district, 1 dwelling per 5 acres. Both the Planning Commission and staff have recommended approval of the amendment. Commissioner Huntingford moved to approve MLAO 1-613. Commissioner Titterness seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. MLA02-36 This proposal for a Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map redesignation was submitted by Michael Regan. The 12,225 square foot parcel is located at the intersection of Irondale Road and Rhody Drive behind McCrory's Carpet. The request is to change the designation from rural residential, 1 dwelling per 5 acres to a rural commercial landuse district. The Planning Commission has recommended approval of the amendment and staff has recommended denial of the amendment. Commissioner Huntingford stated that there have been discussions about this stand alone parcel being included in the Tri Area UGA designation. It could be dealt with now or during the UGA process. Commissioner Titterness moved to approve MLA02-36 consistent with the Planning Commission recommendation. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. MLA02-76 This proposal for a Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map redesignation was submitted by Jefferson County. The 8 acres is located north of the Port Townsend Paper Mill property and south of the City of Port Townsend and is known as the Eastview Industrial Plat. The request is to change the designation from rural residential, 1 dwelling per 5 acres to rural light industrial. Both the Planning Commission and staff have recommended approval of the amendment. This industrial plat was created inl978. A residential plat was created to the east of it at the same time. Multi -family housing and light industrial are the allowed land uses within the City limits in this area. During the Comprehensive Plan adoption process, the industrial plat was omitted. This is basically a map correction. Commissioner Huntingford moved to approve MLA02-76. Commissioner Titterness seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Page 7 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of December 9, 2002 / MLA02-182 This proposal for a Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map redesignation was submitted by David Poll. The 25 acre parcel is located on the Toandos Peninsula. It is currently designated rural residential, l dwelling per 20 acres. The proposal is to change the designation to rural residential, l dwelling per 5 acres. Both the Planning Commission and DCD recommend approval of this amendment. Commissioner Titterness moved to approve MLA02-182 as consistent with the recommendations of staff and the Planning Commission. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. MLA02-190 This proposal for a Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map redesignation was submitted by Pamela Pepper-Lins. The12 acres are located adjacent to the existing Four Corners LAMIRD. It is currently designated rural residential, l dwelling per 10 acres. The proposal is to change the designation to a rural commercial land use district. Both the Planning Commission and DCD have recommended denial of this amendment. Commissioner Huntingford moved to deny MLA02-190. Commissioner Titterness seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. MLA02-216 This proposal for a Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map redesignation was submitted by J. Frank Schmidt & Son Profit Sharing Trust. The proposal consists of 279 acres that are currently designated commercial forest. The proposal is to change the designation to a rural residential land use district. Both the Planning Commission and DCD have recommended denial of this amendment. Instead, staff has proposed a forest transition overlay district that would accommodate this situation. Commissioner Titterness moved to deny MLA02-190 as recommended by the Planning Commission and staff. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. MLA02-235 Associate Planner Josh Peters reported that this proposal for a Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map redesignation was submitted by Fred Hill Materials, Inc. The proposal is to establish a mineral resource land overlay district on approximately 6,240 acres in the Thorndyke Tree Farm area. The Planning Commission voted to approve the redesignation, amending the acreage amount to 690 acres, and adding conditions as recommended by staff. Staff also recommends approval of a 690 acre overlay district with the set of conditions listed in the FSEIS. On December 5, the Board held a public hearing on this Comprehensive Plan amendment. The deadline for written comments was at the close of the Comprehensive Plan amendment hearing on December 6. Page 8 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of December 9, 2002 / Commissioner Titterness pointed out that in the legal review for this amendment, it was noted that another county designated a mineral overlay district of 23,680 acres. Fred Hill Materials original application for 6,240 acres was probably to allow for planning, but the reduction to 690 acres in the proposed revision is well reasoned. It is the County's responsibility to do more than just make the designation, there is a duty to the residents to make sure that the environment is adequately protected. The DNR has limitations in assuring compliance on reclamation plans. An existing stormwater management plan is required and can be monitored when any area over 10,000 square feet is disturbed. An operation can be shut down if it is not complying with the plan. In reviewing the UDC requirements for a stormwater permit, he found that the description of "restoration" needs to be changed to the description of "reclamation." Commissioner Huntingford noted that many of the concerns from citizens are about the Pit to Pier project and to this point, an application hasn't been made for this project. He realizes that an application will be coming forward. This Comprehensive Plan amendment is for the designation of a mineral resource overlay district. If the overlay is approved, when the County receives the project application, the residents have very legitimate concerns, especially about water, and these could be addressed. More studies need to be done. If the overlay is denied, Fred Hill Materials can continue to mine 10 acres at a time, and their operation may not be regulated as closely. The portion of the property that is bare right now will need to be reclaimed and perhaps buffers or a berm can be added. There were no complaints from neighbors about the facility until the Pit to Pier project became an issue. He asked staff to address Condition #14 about any application for a conveyor and pier facility for barge loading in the Canal automatically receiving a threshold determination that would require the preparation of a project action environmental impact statement. Josh Peters explained that when an applicant applies for a permit, the SEPA Responsible Official makes a threshold determination. He reviewed the determination categories. Condition #14 means that this won't be an issue because it will automatically be a determination of significance (evidence of probable significant adverse environmental impacts) which will require a project action EIS. Al Scalf explained the requirements of the SEPA determination. Chairman Wojt listed his concerns: • With the current designation, Fred Hill Materials has the ability to carry on their production at this site for a number of years. • A nexus has been made by both sides regarding the Pit to Pier project and the mineral land overlay. • There hasn't been a thorough review of the environmental consequences, especially regarding Hood Canal. Chairman Wojt suggested that this Comprehensive Plan amendment be dealt with in the next cycle when the Pit to Pier Project will also be under review. Commissioner Titterness responded that the Pit to Pier Project could go forward without the mineral resource land overlay designation. Approval of the overlay, would allow Jefferson County to have more control over the project. Page 9 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of December 9, 2002 / Commissioner Huntingford asked staff to read the additional information for Condition #14 that addresses more of the public concerns. Josh Peters began reading "The permit application review process for any application for minimal extraction from the newly adopted Wahl Lake/Meridian MRL overlay shall include a full environmental review of all transportation options of mined materials, including terrestrial and marine options. If an application is submitted for mineral extraction in the Thorndyke Tree Farm, but a concurrent zoning and shoreline conditional use application is not submitted for a conveyor and pier facility for barge loading in the Hood Canal, the marine transportation option shall be fully analyzed and considered during SEPA review, the absence of an application notwithstanding, or the marine transportation option shall be eliminated from future consideration. This measure is established as a matter of policy and in an effort to fulfill the spirit and intent of the State Environmental Policy Act and the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan, which call for full environmental review of allprobable short- and long-term environmental impacts. " Chairman Wojt asked how enforceable this condition would be if it was included in the approval? Deputy Prosecuting Attorney David Alvarez stated that he thinks the SEPA scoping can be whatever the County wants. He doesn't think that the County can tell Fred Hill Materials that they can't consider a future project. He would need to do more research. Chairman Wojt stated that this reinforces the fact that he thinks approving this MRL designation would be premature. Commissioner Titterness read additional Condition #15. "A periodic review process shall be established in conjunction with any future mineral extraction or related permits granted for activities in or associated with the current and newly adopted MRL overlays in the Thorndyke Tree Farm. At five (5) year intervals from permit issuance, DCD will conduct a periodic review process equivalent to a Type II permit process under Section 8 of the UDC, including applicable public notice provisions and appeal rights, to determine whether the site is operating consistent with the most current standards and to establish other conditions as necessary to mitigate identifiable environmental impacts. Written notice that periodic review is commencing shall be provided to the public and to agencies with jurisdiction. The notice shall explain the purpose and intent of the periodic review process and other relevant details. " Commissioner Huntingford stated that the EIS would require quarterly reports, as well as, the 5 year reports. Dust, noise, light, transportation, stormwater permits, revegetation and reclamation were also discussed. Commissioner Titterness moved to approve MLA02-235 with staff's additional amendments to the SEPA conditions beginning with Condition #2 as recommended by staff and including the amendments to Condition # 13, # 14, and the addition of # 15. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion and asked that staff develop a Condition #2d to address the visual impact. An additional condition, that would amend Condition #2, was also proposed which would make the conditions on noise apply immediately on adoption of the MRL. Page 10 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of December 9, 2002 / Josh Peters presented new language for the preamble of Condition #2 and added Condition #2d. He read the preamble. "As a matter of policy, the legal, nonconforming use at the Shine Pit hub of 144 acres shall be subject to operational standards a. and b. upon adoption of a Wahl Lake/Meridian MRL overlay and operational standards c. and d. when and if approval is granted through a permit review process for mineral extraction activities in the Wahl Lake/Meridian MRL overlay. " He read Condition #2d. "A visual impact mitigation plan shall be a mandatory element of a project action environmental review, including but not limited to the establishment of berms, vegetative plantings, and other measures to mitigate offsite visual impacts. " The Clerk of the Board reread the motion. To approve the amendments consistent with the Planning Commission recommendation, the October 25 staff report and the FSEIS, with additional amendments to the FSEIS beginning with #2 on the additional page which includes Condition #2 a, b, c, and d, and Conditions # 13, # 14, and # 15. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion. The Chair called for a vote on the motion. Commissioner Titterness and Commissioner Huntingford voted for the motion. Chairman Wojt voted against the motion. The motion carried. MLA02-232 This proposal is related to MLA02-0216 submitted by J. Frank Schmidt & Son Profit Sharing Trust. Staff has proposed the creation of a forest transition overlay district which would allow 25% of the perimeter boundary lines of commercial forest parcels that directly abut parcels of one acre or less in size to qualify for a rural residential designation of 1 dwelling unit per 5 acres. This amendment does not change the designation of any property. Individuals who qualify would have to apply for a subdivision as a Planned Rural Residential Development and 65% of the total acreage would be open space. This designation could apply to approximately 120 acres in east Jefferson County and 40 acres in the Westend. Both the Planning Commission and DCD have recommended approval of this amendment. Commissioner Huntingford moved to approve MLA02-232. Commissioner Titterness seconded the motion. The Chair called for the vote. Commissioner Huntingford and Commissioner Titterness voted for the motion. Chairman Wojt abstained. The motion carried. MLA02-234 This is a "housekeeping" amendment submitted by Jefferson County to update Comprehensive Plan language in Chapter 6 regarding Open Space, Parks and Recreation, and Historic Preservation to reflect consideration of the updated 2002 Parks, Recreation & Open Space Plan. Both the Planning Commission and staff recommend approval of this amendment. Commissioner Huntingford moved to approve MLA02-234 consistent with the staff s recommendation. Commissioner Titterness seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Page 11 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of December 9, 2002 / MLA02-238 This is a "housekeeping" amendment submitted by Jefferson County to update Comprehensive Plan language in Chapter 6, Open Space, Parks and Recreation, and Historic Preservation and in Chapter 10, Transportation to reflect consideration of the 2002 Non -motorized Transportation Plan. Both the Planning Commission and staff recommend approval of this amendment. Commissioner Titterness moved to approve MLA02-238. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. MLA02-239 This amendment is intended to update language in Chapter 2, Implementation, to revise an outdated Comprehensive Plan Amendment application deadline and update language to reflect amendments that have been made to the GMA. Beginning in 2004, the application date will move from May 1 to February 1. This allows an extra 3 months for review by staff, the public, and the Board. Staff and the Planning Commission concurred with this recommendation. Commissioner Huntingford moved to approve MLA02-239. Commissioner Titterness seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. MLA02-241 and MLA02-329 These 2 amendments involve the Glen Cove boundary and the associated bulk and dimension changes related to the area. Both staff and Planning Commission recommended approval, although they designated different boundaries. The bulk and dimension changes were the result of negotiations with the City of Port Townsend and are listed in a memo from DCD dated December 4. The proposal is to create a new light industrial district located to the north of the Glen Cove area, including areas on the east and a section to the west. The existing light industrial/commercial district boundaries would remain the same, but there are changes to the building size and height. Within both zones, a height limit of 35 feet is allowed which can be exceeded to 50 feet through a conditional use process. Impervious surface coverage of 55% would apply in both zones. In the light industrial district, there is a building footprint limit of 10,000 square feet with the ability to exceed that limit up to 20,000 square feet through a conditional use process. For the light industrial/commercial district, the building footprint limit is 20,000 square feet, but a maximum of 40,000 square feet is allowed through the conditional use process with the caveat that total floor space not exceed 80,000 square feet. A 40 foot buffer with a 20 foot setback is required along SR20 from Old Fort Townsend Road north to the City limits. A simple variance process that would reduce the 40 foot buffer to 30 feet is proposed for preplatted lots less than '/z acre that abut SR20. Page 12 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of December 9, 2002 / Commissioner Huntingford stated that the Highway 20 Corridor Policy, adopted in the 1980s, recommends a 30 foot buffer and it doesn't seem right that if this is approved a property owner has to pay $1,200 for a variance if the lot is larger than '/z acre. There was a discussion regarding the number and configuration of the affected parcels. Randy Kline suggested rewriting the variance language to address pre-existing lots of less than 400 feet in depth. Commissioner Huntingford suggested keeping the buffers at 30 feet, but enhancing them to make a more protective view corridor. This was a very big issue for the City of Port Townsend during negotiations. Commissioner Titterness stated that during the public hearing there was a suggestion about changing the definition for impervious surface in the UDC so that it did not include gravel surfaces for parking areas and driveways that meet the requirements of the Puget Sound Stormwater Manual. Randy Kline stated that the Stormwater Manual is adopted in the UDC, however staff will need to get clarification from the State Department of Ecology that the definition of pervious surface includes gravel roads. The Board explained that it is in the revised manual that they will need to adopt. Commissioner Titterness recommended changing language in the UDC in Section 2-11 under impervious surface to read common impervious surfaces may or may not include roofs, driveways, patios, packed earth and oiled surfaces. Chairman Wojt stated that this would be an amendment to MLA02-241. Chairman Wojt moved to approve MLA02-241 and MLA02-329 using the staff s boundary recommendation and to allow for an enhanced 30 foot buffer, as opposed to a 40 foot buffer as proposed and to change the definition of impervious surface in the UDC. Commissioner Titterness seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Commissioner Titterness added that there will discussions in the near future with the City about the residential zoning of the parcels to the north and how this can be resolved. MLA02-242 This amendment, proposed by Jefferson County, is to adopt an urban growth area boundary in the Tri Area that would be portrayed on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map consistent with the analysis conducted through the special study and the requirements of the GMA. The Planning Commission and DCD are recommending different boundaries. Staff recommends the provisional UGA boundary proposed by the Board in October, 1999 with the addition of 26 acres to the south that could be designated light industrial in the future and 2 parcels to the west where Carl's Building Supply and Circle and Square are located that were split by the PUGA boundary. There was also a discussion about adding the Old Alcohol Plant to the UGA boundary because it would be a likely candidate for any sewer infrastructure that would be provided to the Port Hadlock core. The Planning Commission boundary includes Chimacum. Commissioner Titterness pointed out that the boundary proposed by the Planning Commission is of substantial size with less development, but much of the area is characterized by critical areas with setbacks, and includes several public facilities that are surrounded by residential development of urban densities and commercial development of urban intensity. This justifies the Planning Commission's recommendation for the UGA boundary. Page 13 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of December 9, 2002 / Commissioner Huntingford replied that this UGA designation has been reviewed many times and the Tri Area Planning Group did not recommend inclusion. He thinks if they adopt the Planning Commission's boundary recommendation, it will be appealed to the Growth Management Hearings Board. Commissioner Huntingford moved to approve MLA02-242 with the staff s boundary recommendation and including the parcels along Rhody Drive, the 26 acre site to the south of Port Hadlock, and the Old Alcohol Plant.

It is intended to achieve greater consistency between the Brinnon Subarea Plan as proposed and the existing Comprehensive Plan Both the Planning Commission and DCD have recommended approval. Commissioner Titterness moved to approve MLA02-246 consistent with the Planning Commission and staff recommendation. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. The meeting was recessed at the end of the scheduled business and reconvened at the Coyle Community Center at 7:00 p.m. for the following hearing. All three Board members were present. HEARING re: Proposed Ordinance to Establish a No Shooting Zone; Located on the South Coyle Peninsula at the Coyle Community Center: Approximately 20 interested citizens were present when Chairman Richard Wojt opened the public hearing on the proposed no shooting zone. Bill Thomas, South Coyle resident explained that a petition was submitted to the Commissioners' Office with 51 signatures. They have problems with people shooting guns too close to houses or in a careless manner. They want to put a stop to the shooting in the area before someone gets hurt. The proposed boundary was discussed. The Chair opened the public testimony portion of the hearing. Harvey Caldwell, stated that a hunter stopped right in front of his house and shot from the road at a deer across the street. There are houses in the area where the person was shooting. Stan Russell, asked what the rules are about shooting? Commissioner Titterness answered that the State Department of Fish and Wildlife have a regulation that a person can't shoot from a County or State road; but the County doesn't have any regulations about shooting unless a no shooting zone is designated. Commissioner Huntingford added that DNR land is open to hunting. Jon Soini, stated that he has lived on the Coyle for 12 years and in that time he has confronted at least 4 hunters that have been shooting at the bottom of his driveway. Ben Alls, asked if this no shooting zone is approved, will he still be able to protect his livestock with a shotgun? Page 15 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of December 9, 2002 / Commissioner Huntingford replied that if there is a designated no shooting zone, no shooting is allowed within the boundaries. A no shooting ordinance is not a no hunting ordinance and hunters can still use a bow and arrow to hunt deer. Francine Rose, 121 Wolf Road, explained that she has a neighbor who target practices on a 4 foot berm on the property line and she called the Sheriff. They said unless she heard a bullet go by her head, there isn't anything that they can do. Jean Sterling, 154 Salmonberry, said that people in Zelatched Point would like to be included in the no shooting zone boundary. The covenants of the plat do not allow shooting, but these are not enforced by the Sheriff. Commissioner Huntingford explained the criteria regarding the boundaries which have to be recognizable on the ground such as roads or other geographic landmarks. The discussion continued about the boundaries. He pointed out that the boundaries on the adopted no shooting zones are much smaller and if the boundary is expanded, it might take in the whole Coyle Peninsula and the proponents could run up against opposition from a lot of people. Arlene Hutt, asked if Indians would be able to hunt in a no shooting zone? Commissioner Huntingford answered that the question has never come up; but he would think that if it was a no shooting zone, it would mean no one could shoot in that area. Unidentified Man, asked if people on both sides of the road will be covered if the road is the boundary? Commissioner Huntingford replied that if residences on both sides of the road want to be included in the boundary, a different physical boundary line will need to be identified. The Board can change the boundary before the no shooting zone is approved. Commissioner Titterness stated that he is concerned that there are people who don't know where the original boundary is and this hearing may be premature. It might be better for the community to have a meeting and redefine the boundary. There was a discussion about modifying or expanding the proposed boundary and the placement of the signs. Cheryl Ann Schmidt, said that her property is not included in the boundary and she asked the best way for her to go about being included? She's interested in seeing this happen so the Sheriff will have the authority to enforce the law. Commissioner Huntingford pointed out that the proposed boundary has been reviewed by the Sheriff s Office and if the Board approves it, it could be in place within the next few weeks. However, if they choose to expand the boundary, they would have to begin the process all over again and it would take more time. Page 16 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of December 9, 2002 / Unidentified Woman, noted that if the boundary was expanded, it would include DNR property. Could they say that they didn't want the zone and have it declined? Commissioner Huntingford answered that if DNR commented on the proposal, their comments would also be taken into consideration when the Board makes their decision on the no shooting zone. He cautioned that the tighter the boundaries are, the less people will probably come forward to object. The discussion continued about modifying the boundary. Cynthia Burke, submitted a letter. (See permanent record.) Bill Thomas, suggested that a vote be taken of who would like to accept the current boundary proposal and then who would like to go through the process again to expand the boundary. The other option is to put the current proposal on hold and modify the boundary before the County Commissioners make a decision. Fifteen people present voted for the first option, accepting the current boundary proposal. Five people present voted for the second option. Harvey Caldwell, stated that he thinks people have done a good job on this. The Chairman closed the public testimony portion of the hearing. He stated that the Board planned to take action on this ordinance by December 16 or 17. The Board then addressed other questions or issues that the citizens mentioned. The meeting was recessed at the end of the public hearing and reconvened on Tuesday morning for the following business. All of the Commissioners were present for an Executive Session from 10:00-10:45 a.m. with the Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, County Administrator, Community Development Director, Natural Resource Director and Associate Planner regarding actual litigation. The meeting was recessed at the end of the scheduled business on Tuesday and reconvened on Wednesday morning for the following business. Chairman Wojt and Commissioner Titterness were present. Settlement Decision re: Shoreline Appeal: Deputy Prosecuting Attorney David Alvarez explained that this relates to the shoreline litigation that Jefferson County joined with the Association of Washington Business and other parties against the State Department of Ecology's Shoreline Master Program Guidelines adopted in 2000. The dispute is over 9 issues regarding the substance of the rules and the way in which they were enacted. Through the settlement process, 96 pages of draft guidelines have been identified that will go through the rule making process. This was a joint lawsuit and Jefferson County has to acknowledge that it agrees with the settlement decision or proceed in the litigation alone. The Deputy Page 17 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of December 9, 2002 / Prosecuting Attorney recommended that if the AWB is satisfied with the terms of the settlement, Jefferson County will also be satisfied. He feels that the settlement represents a good compromise. Commissioner Titterness moved to have the Chair sign the Settlement Decision form that will grant consent to Perkins Coie, attorneys representing the AWB, to sign the proposed stipulated settlement agreement on behalf of Jefferson County. Chairman Wojt seconded the motion which carried. The meeting was recessed at the end of business on Wednesday and reconvened on Friday afternoon for the following business. All of the Commissioners were present from 1:30-3:30 p.m. for final approval of ordinances relating to the Comprehensive Plan Amendments. Final Approval of Ordinances Relating to the 2002 Comprehensive Plan Amendments: Chairman Wojt explained that the Board will be adopting ordinances to augment the decisions that they made on Monday, December 9. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney David Alvarez added that he has brought the ordinance files on a laptop computer and if the Board wants to change the findings, he can modify them during this meeting. He asked that the Board review the ordinances as to form to see if they are consistent with the action they took on Monday. Commissioner Huntingford moved to approve ORDINANCE NO. 13-1213-02, approving Comprehensive Plan Amendment #02-246, the Brinnon Subarea Plan. Commissioner Titterness seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. David Alvarez stated that the next ordinance is regarding 2 mineral resource land designations submitted by Fred Hill Materials and W.E. Seton. Commissioner Titterness asked why a Jefferson County Stormwater Management permit is not listed as a requirement in the ordinance? David Alvarez explained that if a stormwater management permit is required in the UDC, it would apply in this case also. Commissioner Titterness moved to approve ORDINANCE NO. 14-1213-02, approving two Comprehensive Plan Amendments MLA #02-235 (Fred Hill Materials - Mineral Resource Overlay) with conditions and MLA #01-446 (W.E. Seton - Mineral Resources Overlay.) Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion. Chairman Wojt stated that he would vote to approve the Seton mineral overlay, but not the Fred Hill mineral overlay. David Alvarez suggested that it be noted next to Chairman Wojt's signature that he voted in favor of the Seton overlay and was opposed to the Fred Hill overlay. The Chair called for the vote. Commissioner Huntingford and Commissioner Titterness voted for the motion. Chairman Wojt voted for the Seton overlay and against the Fred Hill overlay. The motion carried. Page 18 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of December 9, 2002 / David Alvarez stated that the next ordinance addresses the Glen Cove LAMIRD boundary. He asked that the Board review Sections 1 and 2 on Page 23. There was a discussion about whether this permanent LAMIRD designation would allow the County to make Glen Cove a UGA in the future if the City of Port Townsend and the County agree. Commissioner Titterness suggested additional language under Section 2 that "This does not preclude future UGA discussions between the City of Port Townsend and Jefferson County. " Commissioner Huntingford moved to approve ORDINANCE NO. 15-1213-02, approving revisions to the boundary of the Glen Cove "limited area of more intensive rural development" located within unincorporated Jefferson County. Commissioner Titterness seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. David Alvarez explained that the next ordinance addresses 4 Comprehensive Plan amendments regarding "limited areas of more intensive rural development." The LAMIRD boundary designations are changed on the Regan amendment, and the Chimacum and Discovery Bay amendments. The Four Corners, Chimacum and Discovery Bay amendments change the interim boundaries to final boundaries. Commissioner Tittereness moved to approve ORDINANCE NO. 16-1213-02, approving four Comprehensive Plan amendments regarding "limited area of more intensive rural development," specifically, MLA #02-36 (Regan), MLA #02-243 (Chimacum), MLA #02-244 (Discovery Bay), and MLA #02-245 (Four Corners). Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. David Alvarez explained that the next ordinance addresses 3 Comprehensive Plan amendments relating to altering densities in certain residential zones.

Commissioner Titterness seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. David Alvarez stated that there are 4 more Comprehensive Plan amendments that need to be reviewed and the ordinance amending the UDC. He suggested that the Board make decisions on these amendment this week and sign the ordinance next week. Associate Planner Randy Kline read the UDC procedures pertaining to the adoption of Comprehensive Plan amendments and it appeared that all the amendments need to be approved in ordinance form by the end of the second full week in December. Commissioner Titterness asked to have an Executive Session with the Deputy Prosecuting Attorney and Associate Planner regarding potential litigation from 2:00 to 2:07 p.m. Revisions and Additions to the County's unified Development Code Associated with Various Comprehensive Plan Amendments: Commissioner Titterness moved to approve ORDINANCE Page 19 Commissioners MeetingMinutes: Week of December 9 2002 r N, Revisions and Additions to the County's Unified Development Code Associated with Various Comprehensive Plan Amendments: Commissioner Titterness moved to approve ORDINANCE NO. 18-1213-03, to make revisions and additions to the UDC associated with Comprehensive Plan Amendments approved through the adoption of Ordinance No. 13-1213-02, Ordinance No. 15-1213-02, and Ordinance No. 19-1213-02.

Safety Although on first glance this area looks uninhabited, there are actually many cabins and homes. There are also many properties whose owners visit with an RV or the car for the day. There are many people that visit the shoreline by boat as well. Shooters either don't know this or don't care. While some are careful with their shooting, others are not. Carelessness, ignorance and alcohol can all contribute to the ultimate safety hazard. These three items seem to go hand in hand in September/October when the pack of sign shooting yahoo's masquerading as hunters descends on the Toandos Peninsula. Without a proper ordinance we can't even call the Sheriff if someone decides they want to blast away anywhere they see movement in the bushes. Noise People target shooting throughout the day have seriously put a damper on this previously quiet area. We are not talking about someone with a .22 shooting, it is either Shotguns, Black Powder Rifles, .45's or the like. It not only disrupts people's lives, but the noise can effect the eagles in regard to their nesting. Why else would the State want certain types of construction and logging curtailed during certain times of the year? We believe Shelly Ament of the Washington State Department of Wildlife has tried in some cases to get shooters to stop at least during the nesting season. She has been unsuccessful. Eagles Property development in this area has required eagle management plans. The southernmost shoreline is an "eagle area"; eagles nest, and roost along the shoreline. It is home .... to a few eagles. Eagle Management has spent time tracking these eagles and their nesting sites. Currently, we believe some nests are used again .... some are abandoned. This area we believe is still considered a critical area habitat for eagles. Protection and maintenance of their surroundings is necessary to maintain the eagle's future integrity and welfare. Protection Needed Simply calling a neighbor and asking them to stop shooting doesn't work. Further, it is perhaps not the best approach to attempt to talk to the gun toter or the individual holding the gun to request them to no longer shoot. People shooting in their own yards are often not interested in another's attempt to quiet them down. The entire subject tends to fall on deaf ears. As mentioned above although this area looks uninhabited, it is not. In addition, we also fear someone will set up a shooting range here and further destroy the value in owning property here. Summary In summary, due to the above reasons, shooting at the southern tip of the Toandos Pennisula needs to come to an end. There are too many people in the area now that do not wish to have their lives in jeopardy from wayward bullets. We do not wish to hear gun fire in this quiet peaceful area. When gunfire is heard so often, it negatively affects one's outlook on the area. Enacting a no -shooting zone is the most appropriate method of dealing with this problem. Sincerely submitted.

The proposal presents some difficulties because of the lack of solid and identifiable boundaries and could hinder enforcement some. However, this in itself is not so different then most of the other No -shooting Zones which are in effect in the county now. Recommend it be approved as a necessary action. Sincerely, —Pete Piccmi Sheriff Sukert To: Ben Stamper; Dale Wurtsmith; Rick Smith Cc: Pete Piccini Subject: Proposed "No Shooting Zone" I have placed a proposed no shooting zone request in Dale's basket for the Sergeants review and comments. Please pass it on to the other Sergeants and have it back to me no later than July 30, 2002. You can email you comments by replying to this email. The only concerns I noted were the sections of the line extending east from Bear Rd. to Johnson Road and west from Bear Road to Zelatched Point Road. Both of these areas of the line are not defined by any geographical marker(s) or boundaries. i towever, even with these concerns, the no shooting zone probably could be enforced under most incidents. ....

Box 1220 Port Townsend, WA June 20, 2002 To the County Commissioners, JUL 2 242 We have put together the following material in order to satisfy the requirements to establish a no shooting area in the Southern Tip of the Toandos Penninsula. Thank you for taking the time to review it and give it your serious consideration. Our contact person in this area is William Thomas, who can be reached during the day at (360) 765-3280. Again, thank you for your attention to this matter. Citizens of the Southern Coyle area. r - IN While the Toandos Peninsula is a rural area, and popular with hunters and target shooters, the southern tip of the peninsula (known as Coyle) is one of increasing development and population density. Many of our residents are concerned with the amount of shooting in this area, both in and out of hunting season. As our population increases, we feel we need protection from people discharging firearms close to our residences. We have been advised by the Sheriffs office that at present, there are no laws preventing this. However, the County Commissioners have enacted an ordinance permitting residents to request specific, identifiable no -shooting areas. This petition makes that formal request and will give the Sheriff the authority to arrest anyone discharging a firearm in this area. The undersigned residents appeal to the commissioners in effort to protect the lives and property in this no -shooting zone.
