MINUTES
Week of November 3,2003
Chairman Dan Titterness called the meeting to order in the presence of Commissioner Glen
Huntingford and Commissioner Judi Mackey.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Commissioner Mackey moved to approve the minutes of
October 20, 2003 as presented. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion which carried by a
unanimous vote.
County Administrator David Goldsmith reported that 2 items were added to the agenda. Associate
Planner Randy Kline will meet with the Board at 11 :00 a.m. for an discussion on the Senate Committee on
Land Use meeting on November 12, and a workshop on the permitting process is scheduled for 2:00 p.m.
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR BRIEFING SESSION: David Goldsmith reported that new
elevator in the Courthouse is working. Central Services Director Allen Sartin reported that last night a water
line broke at the Bayshore Motel in Brinnon and some of the electrical wiring was damaged in the Senior
Center.
Hearing Notice; Linda View Drive Road Vacation: David Goldsmith explained that this
hearing notice was pulled off the Consent Agenda last week because the Board had concerns about how this
road vacation affects the issues that Community Development and Environmental Health may have
regarding this plat. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney David Alvarez stated that there aren't any pending legal
issues that would warrant an Executive Session. Community Development Director Al Scalf added that
there is a $10,000 fine outstanding regarding shoreline stormwater issues levied by the DOE and the County.
Commissioner Huntingford noted that the County had originally put certain conditions on the plat before the
developer could proceed, especially regarding stormwater issues. Al Scalf replied that there is a
development moratorium on all the lots in the plat because it is in a landslide area. Several years ago, the
developer presented a plat alteration that was withdrawn. There are no land use permits pending. Bob

Turpin explained that in 1997 there was a partial repeal ofthe moratorium subject to 4 conditions to
stabilize the lower lots. Some of the work has been done and the developer has said that he wants to finish
the work soon. The process to lift the moratorium was reviewed. Bob Turpin reported that this road
vacation would make a portion of this County road into a private road and all the parcels in the affected area
are owned by the developer.
The Board is concerned that several ofthese lots would be landlocked if the road is vacated. The County
cannot require the developer to give the parcels an easement, but he has indicated that he will. Wendy
Ward, Public Works, recommended that the easement issue be addressed before the road vacation goes to
the Hearings Examiner. The Board asked that DCD and Public Works staff do more research on the work
being done on the subdivision and the easement before this goes to hearing.
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The following comments were made: a representative of
People for a Rural Quimper requested that the Board revise the hearing notice on the Consent Agenda to
keep their Comprehensive Plan amendment on the 2003 docket; the Jefferson Trails Coalition has received
over $18,000 in donations and pledges toward their proposal to continue the IAC grant and allow work to
continue on the Larry Scott Memorial Trail next year; the County has also received commitments for
volunteer labor, heavy equipment use, and land donations; and including the funding that the County has
budgeted for 2004 for the trail and the funds from the Jefferson Trail Coalition, there is approximately
$83,000 that has been committed to the project within the last 3 weeks; the trail has wide support from
residents and is a positive amenity; trail maintenance costs are approximately $1,000 per year per mile;
Jefferson County could implement a program similar to Clallam County's "Adopt a Trail" program where
volunteers maintain portions of the trail; and the success of the trail "on the ground" will help with future
funding.

Huntingford moved to delete Items 1,3, and 7 and approve the balance of items on the Consent Agenda as

At 10:45 a.m. the Board interviewed Lesly Sheinbaum who has expressed an interest in serving on the
Jefferson County Developmental Disabilities Board.
HEARING NOTICE re: Removing Two (2) Amendments from the 2003 Comprehensive
Plan Final Docket: (See also Item #3 on the Consent Agenda.) Chairman Titterness explained that the
People for a Rural Quimper have requested that their Comprehensive Plan amendment be removed from this
hearing notice and that the amendment be allowed to continue on the 2003 docket. The PRQ amendment and
the Port of Port Townsend's amendment address similar issues concerning the airport designation. Early in

have separate amendment numbers on the docket. Commissioner Huntingford stated that he wants to hear the
testimony at the public hearing before a decision is made.

Discussion re: Senate Land Use Committee Hearing: Associate Planner Randy Kline
explained that the Senate Land Use Committee will be in Jefferson County on Wednesday, November 12 at
WSU/Cooperative Extension at 1 :30 p.m. At this meeting representatives from Jefferson County, the City of
Port Townsend, the Economic Development Council, Clallam County, the City of Sequim and the City of
Forks will be addressing 3 questions: 1) what are your most significant challenges in meeting the GMA
update requirements and why?; 2) what planning challenges are raised by the differences between your
County and City growth patterns?; and 3) what legislative changes would help address these challenges?
Randy Kline noted that the most important issue to discuss with the Committee is that Jefferson County
adopted the Comprehensive Plan and the UDC in 1998 and 2000 and, as a result, all of the GMA
amendments and requirements have been recently addressed. In addition, the anticipated growth did not
occur and Jefferson County should not be expected to be in the first round of counties to update their
Comprehensive Plans.
Commissioner Huntingford agreed to represent the County at this meeting. Randy Kline will be the staff
person at the presentation. All 3 County Commissioners plan to attend.
