Johnson;Austin Watkins; Susan Porto RE: Purchase of Property Contingent on Conditional Use Permit Approval Dear Tracy, After consulting with the DCD Management Team, Jefferson County Public Health and reviewing Jefferson County Code, you must submit a complete building permit application in order for DCD to deem your cottage industry conditional use permit application complete. This is because cottage industry use criteria requires that it be operated by at least one full-time bona fide resident in a single family residence of the parcelon which the proposed use is being requested. JCC 18.20.170(a)(a). A complete building permit application must include a septic permit application and evidence of available and adequate potable water supply. Jefferson County Code (JCC) 18.40.100(1)(fl & (e). lf you still have questions regarding sanitation, please contact Susan Porto, the sanitarian present at your pre-application conference: sporto@co.iefferson.wa.us, 360- 385-9404. lf circumstances dictate (i.e. robust demonstration of area compatibility and impact abatement (noise, light, odor)), the UDC administrator has the discretion to waive the public hearing.

The final purchase of the property is contingent on the approval of the conditional use cottage industry permit. We started this process on9/2412018, we went to the Department of Community Development and asked them if it 2 was possible to produce and process marijuana on this property. We learned that it was possible through a conditional use, cottage industry permit and that we needed to schedule a pre-application conference to continue. Our pre-application conference was held with planner David Wayne Johnson on LLlO1l2O18. We discussed that a cottage industry permit was required for building a warehouse and processing marijuana on this property. We informed David that us buying the property is completely contingent on whether or not the conditional use permit is approved. David agreed that it was possible to continue without us buying the property as long as the owners were willing to sign off on it. At this meeting it was agreed that we would need to submit the following to continue. Master Permit Application Conditional Use Permit Supplemental Application Cottage lndustry Supplemental Application Operation Plan from State Cannabis License Application Stormwater Plan Site Plan 9lL Address We also submitted a Odor Mitigation plan with the rest of the documents, applied for a road approach, and paid the amount of 51,727 .25 in fees. As we were turning in the required documents we were then informed that we needed to submit house plans, so they could show that they were on file for the conditional use permit. On Lt/26/2018 we returned with the finished house plans for submittal. Sally and Jody were both present, Sally informed me that she could not accept the house plans without a septic permit and well permit. Both Sally and Jody recommended that we emailyou, in hopes that you and yourteam will be able to formalize this process. We need help finding a way forward to continue the process and start the public notice. I have also emailed you the original outline by David from the preapplication conference We look forward to hearing from you, Tracy and Mark Williamson (3601731-7721 Land Parcel Number: 601105013 Case N um ber:ZON 18-00039 MLA18-00102 3 David W.

Johnson RE: FW: Pre-application Conference PRE18-00029 PRE18-00029 Williamson Cottage Industry.pdf Tracy, I understand your concern, We have never processed a CUP for someone who did not also own the property, so this is new territory for us. ln order to help you achieve your objective of not purchasing a property that you could not get a CUP for, we decided that we would proceed with the permitting process, while trying to save you time and money by requiring the minimum in order to do that. I was advised that you would need an address so we could notice the application, but did not think the building permit was necessary and could be simply a "condition of approval" once and if you received a positive decision. After talking to the permitting staff, and in discussion with me, management decided that you would need a building permit with septic and water per Emma's email. The Pre-application conference is conceptual and cannot cover all issues, requirements and outcomes, and certainly doesn't guarantee approval. That is why we put the following disclaimer at the bottom of the outline (l hope that you read it): "(5) Assurances Unavailable. lt is impossible for the conference to be an exhaustive review of all potential issues. The discussions at the conference or the information provided by the administrator shall not bind or prohibit the county's future application or enforcement of all applicable laws and regulations. No statements or assurances made by county representatives shall in any way relieve the applicant of his or her duty to submit an application consistent with all relevant requirements of county, state and federal codes, laws, regulations and land use plans. [Ord. 3-13 5 1]" Be aware that if this goes to public hearing, and we are not sure at this point if it will, the Hearing Examiner may require that you prove you are a "bona-fide resident," which you obviously can't do since you don't own the property. This is the problem with your application. The burden of proof that you comply with the code is entirely on you as the applicant, and not on the County. All I can do is process that application and recommend either approval, denial, or approval with conditions. lf you are not willing to take that risk, then you might consider either buying the property and establishing residency, or withdrawing your application and taking a refund for any unused fees. Beyond that, and at this point, I cannot think of anything else you will need for us to proceed From: Tracy Williamson <tracywilliamson20l3 @gmail.com> Sent: Monday, December 03, 2018 9:33 AM To: David W. Johnson <djohnson @co.jefferson.wa.us> Subject: Re: FW: Pre-application Conference PRE18-00029 David, While we were there Sally called our realtor Terry McHugh and said that she would obtain a email from Terry by the owners stating that could move forward. Sally informed us that that this would allow us to be the representative of the property and allow us to proceed. I believe you have that email on file. As for Emma's email. Why was none of this discussed in our pre-application meeting. In the meeting and on the paperwork we received after the meeting it did not say that house plans were required to continue the process. On the paperwork we received after the meeting, said it was optional. When we left the pre-application meeting 1 Tracy we agreed that we could move forward with a public notification process, once that was completed and the conditional use permits was approved we would purchase the property and move forward with the rest of the permits; including the house, building, septic, and well permits. When we turned in the required paperwork , we were told that we also needed to turn in house plans so they were on file for us to move forward with the the Cottage Industry Permit. Now you would like us to prove there is water on a piece of property we do not own. David I am not sure we can meet the February 27thdeadline due to the new requirements. I thought the goal of the pre-application meeting was to determine the requirements and possibilities of us moving forward on the public hearing so we could determine the property could be used as discussed. Is there any other requirements we are unaware of and is there a clear way forward with out us purchasing the property? We should bring them all out in the open before we pay any more money on fees for a piece of property that is waiting to be purchased based on the use. On Thu, Nov 29, 2018 at 2:09 PM David W.

An alternative to this is to go door to door and introduce yourselves. A letter is good for explaining what you want to do, but it lacks the human element and doesn't allow a dialog, lt's likely folks will have questions or specific concerns that a letter can't address.

This is the problem with your application. The burden of proof that you comply with the code is entirely on you as the applicant, and not on the County. All I can do is process that application and recommend either approval, denial, or approval with conditions. lf you are not willing to take that risk, then you might consider either buying the property and establishing residency, or withdrawing your application and taking a refund for any unused fees.

Sally informed us that that this would allow us to be the representative of the property and allow us to proceed. I believe you have that email on file. As for Emma's email. Why was none of this discussed in our pre-application meeting, In the meeting and on the paperwork we received after the meeting it did not say that house plans were required to continue the process. On the paperwork we received after the meeting, said it was optional. When we left the pre- application meeting we agreed that we could move forward with a public notification process, once that was completed and the conditional use permits was approved we would purchase the property and move forward with the rest of the permits; including the house, building, septic, and well permits. When we turned in the required paperwork , we were told that we also needed to turn in house plans so they were on file for us to move forward with the the Cottage Industry Permit. Now you would like us to prove there is water on a piece of property we do not own. 5 David I am not sure we can meet the February 2Tthdeadline due to the new requirements. I thought the goal of the pre-application meeting was to determine the requirements and possibilities of us moving forward on the public hearing so we could determine the property could be used as discussed. Is there any other requirements we are unaware of and is there a clear way forward with out us purchasing the property? We should bring them all out in the open before we pay any more money on fees for a piece of property that is waiting to be purchased based on the use. Tracy On Thu, Nov 29, 2018 at 2:09 PM David W.

We are the Williamson family that recently purchased 860 Old Coyle Road. Luke and I (Jessie) have seen some curious drivers who have passed by the property. You may have seen our parents or even spoken to them out on the property over the past few weeks. They are helping us build a single-family residence. We are also a family owned and operated marijuana farm. Luke and I are a brother sister team, who together grow and process recreational marijuana. We started this journey together back in 20L4, and we were the first ones up and running in Jefferson County. As our business has grown, so did the cost of our rent. We now hope to build a facility on our Old Coyle Road property that will allow us to make a living doing what we love. We plan on constructing a small single-family residence for Luke to live in. The zoning of this land allows us to grow recreational marijuana, but to process it (put it in a bag) requires a cottage industry permit from the county. We plan on first erecting a 5,000 sq. ft building and potentially in the future a second building very similar to the first building described above wlll be built' You might be wondering how this is going to impact you and the community and, we totally understand that. We have heard a few concerns already and hope to put you at ease. The facility will be set back off the road at least 43', and a natural vegetation buffer will be there to obscure the view of the building from the road. Our neighbors on either side of us will also have a natural vegetation buffer, so all view of the building will also be obscured. Our farm will not create any excess traffic, there will be two employees, Luke and myself. There will be no light pollution generated by our farm. Since we Srow indoors it allows us to contain the smell and filter all air we release into the atmosphere, with activated carbon filters. There is also an odor mitigation plan submitted with the county. All stormwater will be captured and stored in tanks on the property to reduce the amount of water used. All of these measures will prevent any nuisance from being generated by our farm. We are aware that there are a lot of questions regarding who we are and what we are trying to accomplish. Luke and I are not out at the property much currently, the business consumes much of our time. We have a great support team that is helping us accomplish our dream out at the property. You have probably seen some of them. Working with the community is something we look forward to doing. The public notification process won't take place for another month or so, we wanted to introduce ourselves to our neighbors before that, so we could address any concerns. We look forward to being a part of the community, lf you have any concerns, we would be happy to address them. We can be reached via phone or email.

We were able to answer many questions and are sure that there are many more. For those of you who we didn't meet today here's a little bit more about us. Luke and I (Jessie) started our brother-sister cannabis farm together back in2014. Through a lot of hard work and sweat we were the first recreational marijuana farm up and running in Jefferson County. As our business grew so did the need for us to purchase our own space. We hope the information below will answer some of your questions. Visua! Our building will be set back off the road at least 43' and a natural vegetation buffer will be there to obscure the view of the building from the road. Our neighbors on either side of us will also have a natural vegetation buffer of 25' , so their view of the building will also be obscured. Our farm will not create any excess traffic, there will be two employees, Luke and myself. We are not a retail location so consumers don't come to us. There will be no light pollution generated by our farm. Our building will be a steel metal building, allowing no light to escape. The other farm in Quilcene grows in greenhouses which allows the light to penetrate out into the atmosphere. Smell Growing indoors also allows us to contain the smell and filter all air we release into the atmosphere, with activated carbon filters. There is also an odor mitigation plan submitted with the county. Aquifer Storm water will be captured and stored in tanks on the property to reduce the amount of water used. Noise Our noise study is currently ongoing, and we don't have any numbers to publish regarding sound. However, we can say that the sound levels will be appropriate for a residential community. We plan on having minimal sound produced. Don't forget we will be living out there too! Security The State regulates what security system and cameras are required to be in the building. Farms usually aren't the target of cannabis related robberies; retail stores usually are. As for security lights at night for the building, we willjust have one light above the door just as most houses have porch lights. We look forward to attending more community functions and in the future hosting some form of Q&A session about our farm. lnteracting and working within the community is something that we continue to look forward to doing.

Johnson; Bonnie Story Re: plans for marijuana plant on Coyle Hello Victoria, We plan on attending lunch tomorrow at the Community center, I know this is short notice, but the weather has been a concern. That would be a great place for us to meet and discuss your concerns. Growing Marijuana Growing marijuana is just like growing any other agricultural crop. The plant starts out as a "clone", of another plant. The plant first enters the vegetative state. The vegetative state refers to how many hours of light the plant receives. Once our plants get to about 22 inches, the plant is then moved into the budding stage. The light cycle changes, that is when the plant knows when to switch from the vegetative state to the budding cycle. The bud cycle is complete after about 8 to 10 weeks, depending on the strain of plant. After the plant is done budding we chop the plant down and hang it to dry. Once the plant reaches 15% moisture content the buds of the plant are then taken offthe stock and put in an air tight bag. Processing Marijuana Processing of marijuana is how the plant is packaged into its final form. We only deal with flower products in house such as: Flower (the actual bud), and Prerolls (the bud rolled into a joint form). For us processing consists of trimming, which is cutting off the leaves of the bud. To make prerolls we trim the nugs and then roll them into a paper. Our BHO is processed by another facility. Water The county requires all new wells to be metered, they also stipulate how much water can be used a day. Our water consumption will never exceed the amount as dictated by county code. Rain water will be captured and stored in tanks on the property to reduce the amount of water used by our farm. Victoria, I am sorry it has taken me so long to get backto you. Between running a business, trying to build a new house, and a recent unexpected death in the family things are busy to say the least. We look forward to meeting you in person, I willsend you overthe date of the Q&A session as soon as we have nailed it down. We are waiting to see when the funeral is going to be held before scheduling the Q&A session. Sincerely, Jessie Williamson On Mon, Feb 4, 2019 at 3:1 1 PM Victoria Galanti <vicgal1804@grnail. wrote: Hi Jessie. Thanks for getting back to me directly with some additional information. As you can imagine (and know by now, I'm sure) some of your new neighbors are concemed about seeing our quiet rural area turn into a light industrial area. Part of my problery is that I know very little about how marijuana is grown and processed, and so far it seems like there are various ways to handle it. So I keep asking questions so that i can learn more and so that my home is protected. I do want to be clear that I don't have a problem with the use of 1 marijuana as I have friends who have benefited from it. But growing and processing is a much bigger deal, ana ihe potential problems having it near my quiet, peaceful home off the Coyle is of concem' I did realize when we went by your place in the Glen Cove Industrial Park that you are renting that building, so again, I did not know if tne nligtrt oithut building was required for growing MJ, which is why I asked' Also, irireviewing your original appfcation, it looked fike you expected your initial building would be 50,x100,x1-2i,butapiarently that changed and now ii will be a maximum of 20 feet tall' I can only say that even with 43 feet,ttre Uuitaings, based on the plot plan, will be visible from the Coyle. Luckily things grow fast around here. Also, I assuire you don't use the carbon filters at your cunent facility because three of us were aware of an odor from yourbuilding when we drove up. The generator issue arose in my investigating how MJ is grown and it sounded to me (from what I could frnd on the internet) that the plants are sensitive to heat and do best if kept above 60 degrees. So on days like today, and most of the winter in this area, it seemed to me like you would need some kind of back up heating system just to protect your plants when we lose power (which we do several times during the winter months). Finally, with regard to the water issue, we already'have one neighbor who has watei issues already by August, so the available water for the aquifer is an issue of great concern to me. Cliff Mass is a climatologist at the University of Washington and he has been very clear that even though we have a generally wet climate most of the year, in the summer it is basically a arought area. So, .u"r, no* water availability in our area in the summer is of concern and as the climate chanles, I expect that to only become more important. Finally, right now we don't have a lot of folks living out o-n Coylelmost are summer homes) but more and more people are retiring here and as more houses get built for full time living, the water table will likely become more of an issue just because of the population. Again, I don't have a sense for how much water is required for what you are planning. Do you have an estimate based on your water usage at the Glen Cove facility? I would be happy to meet with you when you have your get together, if I am available, otherwise, maybe we can meet separaiely. But let -i krro* as soon as you set the date for the group get together so I can plan for it. I think it would be best to get all the questions out in the air and answered. I'm sure you agree. I look forward to meeting you in person.

Between the natural vegetation barrier of 43 feet and the building being no taller than 20 feet, the building will blend in with its surroundings. As for water, rain water will be captured and stored in tanks on the prop.rty and used at our farm. To address your concern about generators, we have never used a generator at ow grow facility. We may have one for the house but it will be no louder than our neighbors generators for their houses.

We will update all paperwork so it has the correct address of 860 Old Coyle Road. We will also fix the site plan to show the amendment to the easement that Terry Duff instructed us to make. The septic design is wrapping up this week and the well is in. If there is anything off the top of your head you can think of that we might be missing or have overlooked please let us know.

Johnson Final Permit Processing 1 vlq )a.rAN 2 2 20t9 Hello,JEFFERSOT.I COUNTYDCD It was great to meet severalof the community members at lunch today. We were able to answer many questions and are sure that there are many more, For those of you who we didn't meet today here's a little bit more about us. Luke and I (Jessie) started our brother-sister cannabis farm together back in20t4, Through a lot of hard work and sweat we were the first recreational marijuana farm up and running in Jefferson County. As our business grew so did the need for us to purchase our own space. We hope the information below will answer some of your questions. Visual Our building will be set back off the road at least 43' and a natural vegetation buffer will be there to obscure the view of the building from the road. Our neighbors on either side of us will also have a natural vegetation buffer of 25', so their view of the building will also be obscured. Our farm will not create any excess traffic, there will be two employees, Luke and myself. We are not a retail location so consumers don't come to us. There will be no light pollution generated by our farm. Our building will be a steel metal building, allowing no light to escape. The other farm in Quilcene grows in greenhouses which allows the light to penetrate out into the atmosphere. Smell Growing indoors also allows us to contain the smell and filter all air we release into the atmosphere, with activated carbon filters. There is also an odor mitigation plan submitted with the county. Aquifer Storm water will be captured and stored in tanks on the property to reduce the amount of water used. Noise Our noise study is currently ongoing, and we don't have any numbers to publish regarding sound. However, we can say that the sound levels will be appropriate for a residential community. We plan on having minimal sound produced, Don't forget we will be living out there tool Security The State regulates what security system and cameras are required to be in the building. Farms usually aren't the target of cannabis related robberies; retailstores usually are. As for security lights at night for the building, we willjust have one light above the door just as most houses have porch lights. We look forward to attending more community functions and in the future hosting some form of Q&A session about our farm. lnteracting and working within the community is something that we continue to look forward to doing. Please contact us with yourquestions and concerns regarding ourfarm, We can be reached via phone or email.

Hello David, We can make that date work for us if it works for Dee I emailed Adam at The Green Bush Group to see when we can expect the updated sound study with the ambient noise levels reflected in it. The measuring equipment was going up this week, they said it would take about a week to measure the noise and another week to compile the report. I have attached the drawling of the property regarding the amount of land being cleared. You calculated more land being cleared than we did. I circled where you indicated being cleared but the area is not being cleared. If you are more comfortable calling it closer to an acre, we are fine with that. The space behind "Building #2" will not be cleared. "Building #1" the area circled has been brushed for the septic but the trees are all still there. You also have highlighted "25' Building Buffer", if your highlighting is reflecting clearing that should not be highlighted.
