COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR BRIEFING SESSION: County Administrator David Goldsmith reported: · He and Commissioner Wrinkle met with a sub-committee of the Port Ludlow Village Council about the possibility of incorporation because the community is concerned about the future of Port Ludlow as the development company finishes up in the area. They are especially concerned about the future of water and sewer services. The advantages and disadvantages of incorporation were discussed. The land use designation for Port Ludlow is a Master Planned Resort. In order to incorporate it must become a UGA first. · Regarding medical bills for jail inmates, DSHS is responsible for medical expenses if an inmate doesn't have any other medical insurance. The procedures at the jail will be changed to see that information on the inmate's financial status is completed upon entry into the jail. DSHS and Jefferson General Hospital will receive a copy of this information for qualified individuals. Any charges over the amount DSHS covers are shared equally by the provider and the County. He will work with the Hospital on the rates for services to jail inmates. · A property owner built a home and drainfield on their property next to a County park and the septic system and drainfield encroach on the County park property. The Assessor noticed this and asked the Parks and Recreation Department to review the problem. The property owner did a boundary line survey and it confirmed the encroachment. Both the property owner and the County are having appraisals done. In order for the County to sell the property, it has to be declared "surplus." There is a ravine that is included within the park boundary. The property that is encroached upon wouldn't devalue the overall use of the park.

He reviewed the specific changes and additions. Commissioner Huntingford asked for clarification of the term "new development." Dave Christensen replied that this is for new residential development only and a remodel application would not be subject to this resolution. The intent of the resolution is to support the existing policy. Page 2 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of February 18, 2003 There was a discussion about the types of remodeling that could affect the aquifer, including the addition of an ADD. Dave Christensen noted that the State statute addressing adequate potable water doesn't go into detail about how many bedrooms, etc. It only mentions a minimum of 400 gallons of water a day per connection. Department of Community Development Director Al Scalf clarified that if there is proof of potable water, an ADU, additional bedrooms, and remodeling can be done without a hook up to a public water system. Commissioner Wrinkle stated that she is concerned about commutative effects and degradation. Commissioner Huntingford asked if this policy will meet the Hearings Board compliance conditions? Dave Christensen answered that the PUD has agreed to do the well monitoring. The other Hearings Board conditions include administrative changes and clarification in the code that will not require a lot of work. The issues that require more work are scheduled in the workplan and staff is working on them. Staff met with the Planning Commission a few weeks ago about the 180 day compliance issues. The date for completion of the public water system on Marrowstone Island is estimated at 18-24 months. There was a discussion about how the County will deal with building applications on the island in the interim. Dave Christensen stated that DCD is drafting procedures. Tom McNerney, Planning Commission Chair, reported that a Planning Commission sub-committee was formed to look at this issue and their report will be available for review at the next Planning Commission meeting in order to meet the 90 day deadline. Dave Christensen added that staff originally recommended a moratorium on building, but the County Commissioners directed that other options be used such as more restrictive development regulations. Dave Christensen pointed out that the Planning Commission's recommendation won't be on the Board's agenda until March 3 which is 3 days before the compliance order deadline. Commissioner Huntingford directed that the Board be given the information from the Planning Commission next week. Josh Peters, Associate Planner, clarified that a summary of the Planning Commission's discussion can be available next week; but the problem is having a line-in, line-out draft of the interim procedures by that day. Dave Christensen noted that all of this is based upon the County's requirements for a building permit. The proof of potable water is the key. He asked if the Board would like him to schedule a workshop on this issue? They agreed. Commissioner Wrinkle reiterated her concerns about #4 in the "be it resolved" section of the ordinance. The County can't set policy directing other agencies to do something when it doesn't have any control over them. Chairman Titterness replied that he feels it shows the County's intent and commitment to having a public water system in place on Marrowstone Island in a timely manner. Commissioner Wrinkle added that she feels there are some disclaimers in the language of the resolution that question the County's intent. Commissioner Huntingford moved to amend the wording in #4 of the "be it resolved" section to read "Recognizes that any actions by the County or other agencies that could prevent, limit, or restrict the development......." Commissioner Wrinkle seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
