If you refer to the items I've listed for the meeting on Monday you will note that I have included that. I suggest we use the time we have regularly scheduled for these projects and topics instead of creating new meeting times and dates that complicate and create scheduling conflicts.

Johnson Cc: Stacie Hoskins Subject: RE: Pleasant Harbor - Debrief of 12/12 meeting with Sandy Mackie What I want to discuss is an overall approach to the project, not details of contracts. I will send a meeting request for this purpose. From: David W. Johnson Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2012 2:51 PM To: Carl Smith Cc: Stacie Hoskins Subject: FW: Pleasant Harbor - Debrief of 12/12 meeting with Sandy Mackie FYI — In reference to your email of 12/11 regarding the contracts. Let's discuss at the Monday 17th LRP meeting at 3:30, which is the schedule time to discuss MPR issues. From: Swenson, Karen [mailto:kswenson@eaest.com] Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2012 1:46 PM To: David W. Johnson Cc: Stacie Hoskins; Schipanski, Rich Subject: Pleasant Harbor - Debrief of 12/12 meeting with Sandy Mackie Our meeting yesterday with Sandy Mackie of Perkins Coie, Garth's attorney, went very well. JT Cooke from Perkins Coie was there, as was Craig Peck of Craig Peck & Associates. Here are some of the key issues we discussed: 1. Confirmation that the SEIS would not analyze alternative methods of mitigating impacts. Sandy requested that if the method proposed by the applicant mitigated the identified significant impacts, then the SEIS would not require analysis of additional methods. For example, if the applicant proposed a wastewater treatment method that mitigated significant impacts, then the SEIS would not request analysis of additional wastewater treatment methods. We confirmed this approach. 2. Format of the SEIS to utilize existing documentation to the extent possible. Sandy recommended that because this is a supplemental EIS, the document would best utilize the same DEIS chapters when appropriate, and add what's new or what's changed since the 2007 DEIS. For example, if the 2007 Draft EIS said that there would be no discharge to Puget Sound, then he recommended that the SEIS would reference the DEIS and provide the stormwater plan that shows that there will be no discharge to Puget Sound. We will begin to draft an outline for the SEIS after the contract is signed and we have reviewed the existing materials. 3. Ensuring we have all the environmental review documents necessary to proceed. Perkins Coie asked us what information we had at this point, and we indicated that the only documents we have at this time is what is available on the County website, including the 2006 Pleasant Harbor Comp Plan amendment application, the DEIS and FEIS, the Comprehensive Plan Amendment Ordinance (with the 30 conditions), and the scoping notice. Perkins Coie provided us a hard copy of the 2007 DEIS, the DEIS appendices and the FEIS. They also provided us a hard copy of a memo that included two tables. The first short table compared the 2007 DEIS and the 2012 Preferred Alternative in terms of acreage, impervious surface, units, units dedicated for staff, and total commercial square footage. The second larger table listed the 30 FEIS conditions, listed whether they have been addressed, and in what document the condition was addressed. Responses to the conditions were not all filled in at this time. Perkins Coie stated they would provide us with hard copies of each of those documents in the table as well as the draft zoning ordinance and development agreement, and would provide the County with the exact same documents at the same time. We also requested digital copies if they were available, and Perkins Coie indicated they would look into how to share those documents with us and the County (potentially a FTP site?). 4. Clarification of BSP area Sandy drew a rough picture of the marina area to show the area covered under the existing Binding Site Plan. He stated that Craig Peck would provide us clear copy of this area, and Craig said he would send us a map of the existing BSP area, as well as the BSP Amendment application recently submitted to the County. We reassured them that this BSP area would not be analyzed in the SEIS but would be described in the document for reference. 5. Schedule and Budget We discussed the applicant's concern regarding the schedule and budget, and we stated that based on the assumptions in the scope, we intend to remain within budget with no anticipated cost adjustments. Sandy reiterated the applicant's desire to complete the SEIS by May, and we discussed how we could maintain and potentially shorten the schedule, with particular attention to adhering to the review times for the County and applicant stated in the current contract. 6. Site visit Craig Peck said that when we head to Pleasant Harbor for a site visit to give him a call. A date has not yet been set for the site visit, but we'd like to conduct the visit soon after the contract is signed. 7. Follow-up meeting We set a date for a follow-up meeting at Perkins Coie's office on January 9th at 2pm (Sandy is in town between January 7th -11th). Between now and then, Perkins Coie and Craig Peck will have provided us all the materials from the above-mentioned memo and any other materials pertinent to drafting the SEIS. We will have reviewed these materials and can discuss if any additional documents/information is necessary to proceed. Sandy indicated he would recommend to Garth that he sign the contract by year's end, based on our discussion. We look forward to working with everyone very soon.
