From: Jim Pearson Sent: Friday, February 19, 2010 12:11 PM To: 'Craig Peck' Cc: David W. Johnson Subject: Brinnon Master Planned Resort; Development Agreement and MOA Craig, I appreciated the opportunity to meet with you and David Johnson to discuss the Brinnon resort project. This email is intended to confirm our discussion and clarify the Public Works Department's comments dated November 30, 2009 related to the Supplemental EIS and Development Agreement between Jefferson County and Statesman. Development Agreement and Memorandum of Agreement The Development Agreement should require Statesman to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Jefferson County Public Works Department regarding procedures, standards, and specifications for plan review, construction, and project phasing. The Development Agreement should specify that Statesman will reimburse the Department for its expenses related to the project. The MOA would include provisions regarding: • Development standards (e.g. ASSHTO, WSDOT, Ecology SWM Manual), • Construction supervision and certification by the project engineer, • Procedures for plan review and construction inspections, • Contacts, including the project engineer, on-site inspectors, testing company, and Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead, • Pre -construction meetings for project phases and off-site improvements, • Weekly reports by the project engineer documenting the activities that were conducted and that are anticipated for the following week, • Procedures and specifications for materials sampling and testing and providing reports to Public Works, • Traffic control, • Const5ruction of improvements to Black Point Road, and • Project and roadway improvement phasing. Statesman would prepare a draft MOA for review by Public Works. The MOA would be concluded prior to initial site development. Project and Mitigation Phasing The initial development phase of the project will include the relocated Marina residential and retail development, golf course development, staff housing and golf course maintenance facility, and the main resort building. Highway 101 / Black Point Road intersection improvements, including the secondary site access, Transit facility, pedestrian crossing, and access to the marina and WDFW property will be constructed during the initial phase. Statesman proposes to use the secondary site access to serve the initial development phase. Improvements to the segment of Black Point Road that extends beyond the secondary site access to the main site access at +/-Mile Post 0.7 would be conducted in conjunction with subsequent phases. Public Works does not object to this proposal, provided that congestion is avoided and appropriate intersection operation is maintained on Black Point Road. Ensuring this will require preparation of a traffic study, conducting traffic monitoring, and agreement between Statesman and Public Works regarding the level of development that will trigger the requirement for using the main site access and for related Black Point Road improvements. In order to determine the required improvements to Black Point Road, Statesman will conduct an engineering analysis of the structural capacity of Black Point Road. This will include coring the roadway and underlying soils. Based on this analysis, Statesman will propose appropriate improvements to the structural section. Statesman will also assess the adequacy of the roadway width for the projected traffic and propose appropriate improvements. Public Works recognizes that Statesman will provide on-site bicycle and pedestrian facilities that will reduce bicycle and pedestrian travel on Black Point Road. Public Works also recognizes the value to both Black Point Road residents and resort guests of minimizing roadway width in order to preserve the rural, forested nature of Black Point Road. Public Works will work with Statesman to accommodate these goals. Please don't hesitate to contact me to discuss these matters further.

Johnson, Associate Planner Department of Community Development FROM: James W. Pearson, Project Manager DATE: November 30, 2016 RE: ZON08-00056 Brinnon Master Planned Resort Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) scoping comments The SEIS will supplement the Programmatic EIS adopted for the Comprehensive Plan approval of the Master Planned Resort designation and assess impacts related to Jefferson County's adoption of. • Amendments to the Jefferson County Code Title 17 Master Planned Resorts and Title 18 Unified Development Code and • A Brinnon Master Planned Resort Development Agreement. This memo provides the Department's comments on the scoping notice for the referenced proposal. The Department has also reviewed a draft Development Agreement proposed by the developer and comments by the Department of Community Development. This memo provides the Department's preliminary comments on the draft Development Agreement. A. Supplemental EIS Scoping The Programmatic EIS (PEIS) assessed existing and projected roadway conditions on Highway 101 and County Roads, including Black Point County Road. It identified significant impacts to the Highway 101 / Black Point Road intersection, the initial segment of Black Point Road from Highway 101 to the marina entrance intersection, and the subsequent segment of Black Point Road to the golf resort entrance at +/-Mile Post 0+70. The PEIS included specific mitigation measures for the Highway 101 / Black Point Road intersection and the initial segment of Black Point Road. These mitigations have been incorporated into preliminary roadway improvement plans that were prepared by the developer's engineering consultant and have been reviewed by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) through its Plan For Approval process. These impacts and mitigations do not require additional analysis in the SEIS The PEIS noted that Black Point Road does not have an adequate structural section or roadway width to accommodate the projected traffic. It states that prior to development of the golf course the developer will "(f)ully fund and construct improvements for Black Point Road to meet County standards from US Highway 101 to the project entrance." Public Works Department Comment: The MPR Development Agreement should include provisions to ensure that this mitigation measure is implemented. B. Development Agreement Public Works Department General Comment: Development of the MPR will require significant clearing and grading and construction of public and private roads, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, utilities, and stormwater management facilities. Ensuring that these improvements comply with the project plans and adopted County standards and specifications will require plan reviews, construction inspections, materials sampling and testing, and final project review. It will require that construction is conducted under the supervision of a licensed project engineer and that prior to final approval the project engineer certifies that the improvements comply with the project plans and the County's standards and specifications. In order to ensure this, the Development Agreement should include a section that provides for a Memorandum of Agreement between the developer and the Jefferson County Public Works Department. The MOA should specify development standards and procedures for plan review, construction inspections, and materials sampling and testing. It should require supervision by the project engineer. The MOA should also require that the developer will reimburse the Department for expenses related to the project. The Development Agreement should require the MOA to be agreed upon prior to initial site development. Development Agreement Section 1.3.13 addresses "the provision of public services necessary to the site [which] are subject to memorandums of understanding with public service agencies for sewer, water, schools, police/security, fire/EMS and transit...." It refers to MOU N-4 Transportation. Public Works Department Comment: This list should include roads and bicycle and pedestrian facilities. A Memorandum that addresses these facilities should be provided to the Department for review and comment. Development Agreement Section 3.13 Transportation refers solely to public transportation services that would be provided by Jefferson Transit. Public Works Department Comment: As noted above, transportation services and facilities should be expanded to include roads and bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Development Agreement Section 4.2.1 Prior EIS states that "...prior EISs reviewed potential impacts and mitigation... on a programmatic level and were not project -specific EISs." Public Works Department Comment: The intent and implications of this statement should be clarified. The transportation impacts and mitigations identified in the Programmatic EIS were related to the designation of the Master Planned Resort. These mitigations include improvements to the Highway 101 / Black Point Road intersection, the initial segment of Black Point Road to the marina entrance intersection, and the subsequent segment of Black Point Road to the golf resort entrance at +/-Mile Post 0+70. The mitigations should be implemented in conjunction with the initial site development and should not be subject to additional project -specific SEPA review. Development Agreement Section 5.1 Preliminary Facilities addresses facilities that must be constructed in conjunction with the initial phase of development. Section 5. 1.1 Transportation specifies that this includes "the entrance road at Black Point Road connecting to both the golf course entrance and the marina entrance (including the improvements to link with the WDOE [sic] ramp)." Public Works Department Comment: The list of preliminary transportation facilities does not include improvements to the Highway 101 / Black Point Road intersection or to the segment of Black Point Road from the marina entrance intersection to the golf resort entrance at +/-Mile Post 0+70. These improvements should be included in Section 5. 1.1 Transportation. The Development Agreement should specify that, in conjunction with the application for the golf resort site development, the proponent will provide an engineering analysis of the Black Point Road structural section and proposed improvements to the roadway structural section and width. The improvements would be constructed prior to final plat approval of the golf resort or, at the discretion of the County Engineer, could be constructed later provided that the developer posts appropriate surety.
