Commissioner Judi Mackey was present and Commissioner Glen Huntingford was absent. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Commissioner Mackey moved to approve the minutes of October 6, 2003 as presented. Chainnan Titterness seconded the motion which carried. Fire Chief Bob Wilson re: Update From E 911 Addressing System Committee: Fire Chief Bob Wilson, Quilcene, explained that the E-911 locator ordinance is being reviewed by a committee of stakeholders and they plan to schedule a workshop with the Board to review several proposals in detail. Options include: a total grid system, a quadrant system, or changing several road names that sound similar throughout the County. Changes may be needed on how to deal with split driveways, private driveway names and signage. There are several data bases within the County system that generate addresses and sometimes these addresses aren't the same. This problem can be solved by having only one data base generate addresses. The road names are probably the biggest issue. Chainnan Titterness asked why latitude and longitude and a GPS system can't be used? This technology will probably be part ofthe locator system in the future, but JeffCom Director Tracy Stringer noted that the company that has the E-911 database for Washington State is not set up to include the latitude and longitude infonnation yet. She doesn't think that this will be available for a few years. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The following comments were made: A contractor who just finished building a house in the County complimented the building inspectors on their prompt and courteous service; the Hood Canal Coalition's website reported that the Western Washington Growth Management Hearings Board ruled unanimously in their favor, when actually the WWGMHB's decision complimented the County on the professionalism of its work on the Fred Hill Materials mineral resource overlay amendment and upheld 5 of the 6 issues that were appealed; the primary objective for Fred Hill Material's MRL designation is the notice to the adjacent property owners, the nuisance protections in the Page 1 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of October 20, 2003 ,f:} ~) UDC for mining activities, and to address the 10 acre limitation on mining segment size in the UDC; and if the Hearings Board decision comes down to mining on 10 acres or mining on 40 acres, Fred Hill Materials will live with a segment size of 10 acres. APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF THE CONSENT AGENDA: Commissioner Mackey moved to approve the Consent Agenda as presented. Chainnan Titterness seconded the motion which carried. 1. RESOLUTION NO. 63-03 re: Adopting the Cost Allocation Plan for Fiscal Years 2003 and 2004 2. AGREEMENT re: Administering Surcharge Funds Generated by SHB 2060 For Housing Programs for Low Income Persons in Jefferson County; Olympic Community Actions Programs (OlyCAP) and the City of Port Townsend 3. LICENSE AGREEMENT re: Use of County Property as a Firing Range; Jefferson County Sportsmen's Club Associate Planner, Josh Peters re: Draft Correspondence to Public Lands Commissioner Concerning Mineral Lands: Josh Peters explained that the WWGMHB's decision on the appeal of the Fred Hill Materials Mineral Resource Lands (MRL) designation prompted this letter. Designation of an MRL is a legislative function, and a "non-project action," and a certain amount of environmental review is necessary. The Hearings Board decision requires Jefferson County to do additional SEP A review on this amendment. The GMA specifically states that counties are required to designate and protect timberlands, agricultural lands, and mineral lands of long tenn significance. Mineral lands are of particular interest because a county is required to plan for the use ofthis resource over 20 years and if there is not enough, it may need to be imported from another county. The current system does not allow the exporting county to receive any type of revenue, therefore a county is not compensated for the time and resources used in designating an MRL. In the case of forest lands of long tenn significance, the County receives revenue when timber is harvested but currently there is nothing in place that allows the County to receive revenue from mineral extraction. This letter is being sent to the Commissioner of Public Lands because DNR has taken a strong position to encourage counties to designate mineral resource lands. It requests that the DNR approach the Governor and Legislature regarding the increased environmental review for non-project actions and the inequity of the tax structure for mineral extraction in Washington State. Process for the Proposed Pit to Pier Project: Director of Community Development Al Scalf noted that this project is in the beginning stages and, at this point the factual issues or environmental impacts are unknown. Currently, DCD staff is working on the compliance issue from the WWGMHB decision on the MRL designation. Page 2 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of October 20, 2003 tJ"';'~ (f , ", ~~ Associate Planner Greg Ballard presented a matrix showing the pennits that Fred Hill Materials currently has with the County. The infonnation includes the project, the objective and location, the needed action, the review criteria, and the decision makers. The Hearings Board decision on the MRL designation requires a supplemental EIS. Based on the new infonnation, the County Commissioners can re-examine their decision to approve the 2002 Comprehensive Plan amendment. He also reviewed the pennits for the Pit to Pier Project. A zoning pennit will require a project specific EIS, a zoning conditional use pennit, and a stonnwater pennit. A shoreline pennit will require a project specific EIS, a shoreline conditional use pennit, and a substantial development pennit. The Hearing Examiner is the decision maker on these pennits, although the State DOE has the final decision on all shoreline conditional use pennits. In addition, there are several State and Federal approvals needed for the pier including a hydraulic project approval rrom State Department ofFish & Wildlife, a DOE 401 Certification, DOE review of Coastal Zone Management Program; a DNR aquatics lease, and Corp of Engineers Section 10 and 404 pennits. In addition, U.S. Fish & Wildlife and NOAA Fisheries may have pennits and the Coast Guard and Navy may provide input. The meeting was recessed at the close of business on Monday and reconvened Tuesday afternoon. Chainnan Titterness and Commissioner Mackey participated in a conference call. Commissioner Huntingford was not available. Declaration of Emergency: Due to high winds and flooding, several roads in the County were damaged.
