Subject: RE: List of Priority Work Items
Attachments: Proposed Actions & Alternatives— 3 w CO edits.DOC
Vicki,
Attached is the draft of Chapter 2, Proposed Actions and Alternatives with our edits and comments.
Upon review of the Priority Work Items, and specifically the Key technical reports, we concur with the content. As far as
level of detail we note that those reports that are relevant to the ordinance conditions, or require other jurisdictional
approval will naturally need to be completed to a level of detail that will satisfy those conditions, achieve other
jurisdictional approval and mitigate impacts to a non-significant level. All other reports or plans may be completed only
to a level that achieves a level of non-significant environmental impact, and may be altered and finally completed after
acceptance of the SETS and approval of the Development Agreement with a separate SEPA determination of MDNS or
DNS, since a DS would not apply to those environmental impacts that have already met the non-significant level — i.e.
addressed in the SEIS. I will cover this in the Scoping Memo as well, which I hope to complete in draft form early next
week.
I will also send along our final response to the Tech Team response to comments once I receive the Peer Review Team
response. That's a lot of responses!

2. Description of the Proposed Action and Alternatives
Draft Outline of Information Requirements: 2/08/10
2.1 Project Proponent
The proponent of the Brinnon Master Planned Resort (MPR) is Pleasant Harbor Marina and Golf Resort,
LLC. [Garth: What is this entity as it relates to the Statesman Group? Is it the Statesman Group doing
business as the LLC? Are there others involved in the LLC besides Statesman?] The activities within the
MPR will be known as the Pleasant Harbor Marina and Golf Resort.
2.2 Purpose and Objectives of the Proposal
The Pleasant Harbor Marina and Golf Resort is a Master Planned Resort (MPR) proposal for the Brinnon
Subarea in southeastern Jefferson County, Washington. The County's Comprehensive PlamBrinnen
Subama Plan designates this area as apprepriate fur an MPR as provided in RCW 36.70A.360 on page 3-
- and Jefferson County Code Chapter 18.15. The Brinnon Subarea Plan has identified the Pleasant
Harbor/Black Point area as a potential location for a MPR since 2002. This private application will fulfill
this County land use goal. The purpose of the MPR on the subject site owned by the applicant is to:
Design a Master Planned Resort unique to the site that is both constructible and economically viable.
Develop a Golf Resort to include an 18 -hole championship golf course, clubhouse facilities;
conference center; and amenities such as a restaurant, spa and athletic facilities.
d• Develop one-, two- and three-bedroom terraced lofts, villas and chalets available for short-term and
long-term vacationers, or retired or semi -retired people.
•S Significantly expand_ and _upgrade_ existing commercial uses _as_ associated '--with the 285 boat slip _--- Formatted: Highlight
--------- -------------------
Pleasant Harbor Marina; develop a Maritime Village with water -dependent and water -related
commercial uses and commercial amenities to serve residents and visitors to the Master Planned
Resort.
s• Concurrently construct urban -level services, i.e. water and sewer systems, for a self-sufficient
development: additional wells as a source of water under a DOH approved WSP to provide potable
water supply requirements; an on-site wastewater treatment and reclamation facility; a stormwater
collection, treatment, and infiltration system compliant with the Washington Department of Ecology
2005 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington and Jefferson County standards; an
on-site circulation system that meets County design standards and emergency vehicle access
requirements; improved points of access to U.S. Highway 101; and coordination with community
transit service.
Implement design adaptations that integrate eco -technologies in a setting for resort living: sustainable
structures, landscapes and lifestyles.
Design buildings using Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and/or Built -Green
rating system standards.
Is this appropriate considering the SMP Version Alternative?

Implement Sustainable Development Principles to the ffifflkiffitiffi eXtefit ffaGtieabie; for example:
• Install geothermal (or comparably energy-efficient) heating and cooling systems.
• Operate the resort water supply system in a manner that will balance (or increase) aquifer
recharge and avoid saltwater intrusion.
• Use Class A reclaimed water from the on-site wastewater treatment system for golf course and
landscape irrigation, fire protection, and toilet/urinal flushing systems.
• Install locally- or regionally -produced building materials, and materials manufactured from
recycled products to the extent praetieahly..
:• Restore the site following construction using Low Impact Development/Sustainable Development
principles.
Implement site improvements over a period of approximately 10 years, 3 market
demand.
Comply with Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan policies and a—the MPR Zoning Ordinance,
consistent with the intent conditions of approval of Board of County Commissionersper Ordinance
No. 01-0128-08.
The objectives for the specific development proposal on the site were established in the Brinnon Master
Planned Resort Final Environmental Impact Statement (Jefferson County Department of Community
Development, November 27, 2007). Mandatory elements of the MPR listed on page 1-17 of that
document include:
Total MPR
Golf Resort Side
Marina Village Side
Total Acres: 241 acres'
220-E acres
21t acres (upland)
Total Residential Units:
Up to 739 units
No more than 151 units
Up to 890
52 staff apartments
16 permanent residences (up to 10%)Z
68 permanent residences (up to 10%)'
45 seasonal tourist use (up to 30%),
275 long-term tourist use (up to 40%)
not to exceed 6 months
344 short-term tourist use (at least 50%)
90 short-term tourist use at least 60%
Impervious Surface
Not to exceed 20%
Not to exceed 40%
' The total acreage of the MPR property is approximately 252 acres with l It acres of submerged lands under
WDNR Aquatic Lands Lease within the existing marina. This area is not subject to modification as a result of the
MPR proposal and therefore is not included in the upland acres indicated above.
2 The number of permanent residences can beshifted2 between the Golf Resort side and the Marina villa a side,
but total permanent residences shall not exceed 84 units.

Zoning Code text and map changes, and consideration of the proposed Development Agreement
subsequent to SEIS review; and recommendation to the Jefferson County Board of County
Commissioners.

2.11 Benefits and Disadvantages of Reserving Project Implementation
to Some Future Time
The SEPA Guidelines encourage applicants and permitting agencies to view each generation as a
trustee for succeeding generations. With this perspective, environmental review is encouraged to consider
whether approving a proposal at this time would foreclose future options (WAC 197-11-440[5][c][vii]).
