RE:
Amendment
to
Jefferson
County
Code
Dear
County
Officials:
Some
four
years
ago,
a
concerned
group
of
Marrowstone
Island
residents
invested
considerable
time
-‐as
well
as
over
fifty-‐thousand
dollars-‐
to
argue
against
a
commercial
marijuana
grower
seeking
to
place
a
10,000
square
foot
grow-‐and-‐
process
facility
on
rural
residential
land
here
on
the
island.
While
our
group
did
eventually
prevail,
we
were
continually
astounded
that
our
county
failed
in
providing
protections
against
something
that
would
result
in
industrializing
a
unique
and
close-‐knit
neighborhood.
Four
years
later,
our
county
has
apparently
done
nothing
to
restrict
such
development
to
being
located
within
the
industrial
zoning
it
requires.
I
am
asking
that
you
place
the
issue
of
prohibiting
commercial
marijuana
facilities
within
rural
residential
onto
the
2020
docket.
Doing
so
would
put
our
county
in
line
with
the
majority
of
Washington
counties.
Had
such
a
prohibition
been
in
place
four
years
ago,
our
county
could
have
saved
itself
from
two
overflow-‐crowd
public
hearings
with
untold
wasted
hours
and
related
expense
of
both
county
and
resident
time.
Please
get
this
amendment
underway
and
into
the
county
code.
Doing
so
now
will
help
maintain
and
protect
the
beauty
and
future
livability
of
our
county.
Sincerely,
Lee
