Conditions imposed by BOCC contained in the enabling Ordinance for Establishing Pleasant Harbor MPI
OrdinanceNo. 0l-0128-08
In consideration of the public interest, and pursuant to the authority that is granted the
County legislative authority under SEPA by RCW 43.21C.060, WAC 197-11-660 and
Jefferson County Code 18.40.770, the Board enters certain of the following conditions for
approval of the CP amendment MLA06-87, recognizing that certain of the conditions
listed here are imposed not in reliance upon SEPA but instead pursuant to the Board's
general police power as a legislative body [arising from Article XI, $ 11 of the State
Constitution and RCW 36.32.120(7)), particularly conditions d, e, f, g, v, x, aa and bb:
a) Any analysis of environmental impacts is to be based on science and data pertinent to
the Brinnon site. This includes rainfall projections, runoff projections, and potential
impacts on Hood Canal.

b) All applications will be given an automatic SEPA threshold determination of
Determination of Significance (DS) at the project level except where the SEPA-
responsible official determines that the application results in only minor construction.
c) The project developer will be required to negotiate memoranda of understanding
(MOU) or memoranda of agreement (MOA) to provide needed support for the Brinnon
school, fire district, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), housing, police, public
health, parks and recreation, and transit prior to approval of the development
agreement. Such agreements will be encouraged specifically between the developer
and the Pleasant Tides Yacht Club, and with the Slip owner's Association regarding
marina use, costs, dock access, loading and unloading, and parking.
d) A list of required amenities shall be in the development agreement along with
conditions for public access.
e) Statesman shall advertise and give written notice at libraries and post offices in East
Jefferson County and recruit locally to fiIl opportunities for contracting and
employment, and will prefer local applicants provided they are qualified, available, and
competitive in terms ofpricing.
0 Statesman will prioritize the sourcing of construction materials from within Jefferson
County.
g) The developer shall commission a study of the number ofjobs expected to be created
as a direct or indirect result of the MPR that earn 80% or less of the Brinnon area
average median income (AMI). The developer shall provide affordable housing (e.g.,
no more than30Yo of household income) for the Brinnon MPR workers roughly
proportional to the number ofjobs created that eam 80%o or less of the Brinnon area
AMI. The developer may satisfy this condition through dedication of land, payment of
in lieu fee, or onsite housing development.
h) The possible ecological impact of the development's water plan that alters kettles for
use as water storage must be examined, and possibly one kettle preserved.
i) Any study done at the project level pursuant to SEPA (RCW 43.21C) shall include a
distinct report by a mutually chosen environmental scientist on the impacts to the
hydrology and hydrogeology of the MPR location of the developer's intention to use
11
one of the existing kettles for water storage. Said report shall be peer-reviewed by a
second scientist mutually chosen by the developer and the county. The developer will
bear the financial cost of these reports.
j) Tribes should be consulted regarding cultural resources, and possibly one kettle
preserved as a cultural resource.
k) As a condition of development approval, prior to the issuance of any shoreline permit
or approval of any preliminary plat, there shall be executed or recorded with the
County Auditor a document reflecting the developer's written understanding with and
among the following: Jefferson County, local tribes, and the Department of
Archaeology and Historical Preservation, that includes a cultural resources
management plan to assure archaeological investigations and systematic monitoring of
the subject property prior to issuing permits; and during construction to maintain site
integrity, provide procedures regarding future ground-disturbing activity, assure
traditional tribal access to cultural properties and activities, and to provide for
community education opportunities.
1) A wildlife management plan focused on non-lethal strategies shall be developed in the
public interest in consultation with the Department of Fish and Wildlife and local
tribes, to prevent diminishment of tribal wildlife resources cited in the Brinnon Sub-
Area Plan (e.g., deer, elk, cougar, waterfowl, osprey, eagles, and bear), to reduce the
potential for vehicle collisions on U.S. Highway 101, to reduce the conflicts resulting
from wildlife foraging on high-value landscaping and attraction to fresh water sources,
to reduce the dangers to predators attracted to the area by prey or habitat, and to reduce
any danger to humans.
m) No deforestation or grading will be permitted prior to establishing adequate water
rights and an adequate water supply.
n) Approval of a Class A Water System by the Washington Department of Health, and
approval of a Water Rights Certificate by the Department of Ecology shall be required
prior to applying for any Jefferson County permits for plats or any new development.
o) Detailed review is needed at the project-level SEPA analysis to ensure that water
quantity and water quality issues are addressed. The estimated potable water use is
t2
based on a daily residential demand used to establish the Equivalent Residential Units
(ERU) for the development using a standard of 175 gallons per day (gpd). The goal of
the development is 70 gpd. All calculations for water use at any stage shall be based on
the standard of 175 gpd.
p) A Neighborhood Water Policy shall be established that requires Statesman to provide
access to the water system by any neighboring parcels if saltwater intrusion becomes an
issue for neighboring wells on Black Point, and reserve areas for additional recharge
wells will be included in case wells fail, are periodically inoperable, or cause
mounding.
q) Stormwater discharge from the golf course shall meet requirements of zero discharge into
Hood Canal. To the extent necessary to achieve the goal of designing and installing
stormwater management infrastructures and techniques that allow no stormwater run-off
into Hood Canal, Statesman shall prepare a soil study of the soils present at the MPR
location. Soils must be proven to be conducive to the intended infiltration either in their
natural condition or after amendment. Marina discharge shall be treated by a system that
reduces contamination to the greatest possible extent.
r) A County-based comprehensive water quality monitoring plan specific to Pleasant
Harbor requiring at least monthly water collection and testing will be developed and
approved in concert with an adaptive management program prior to any site-specific
action, utilizing best available science and appropriate state agencies. The monitoring
plan shall be funded by a yearly reserve, paid for by Statesman, that will include
regular offsite sampling of pollution, discharge, and/or contaminant loading, in addition
to any onsite monitoring regime.
s) The developer must ensure that natural greenbelts will be maintained on U.S. Highway
101 and as appropriate on the shoreline. Statesman shall record a conservation
easement protecting greenbelts and buffers to include, but not be limited to, a 200-foot
riparian buffer along the steep bluff along the South Canal shoreline, the strip of mature
trees between U.S. Highway l0l and the Maritime Village, wetlands, and wetland
buffers. Easements shall be perpetual and irrevocable recordings dedicating the
property as natural forest land buffers. Statesman, at its expense, shall manage these
13
easements to include removing, when appropriate, naturally fallen trees, and replanting
to retain a natural visual separation of the development from Highway 101.
0 The marina operations shall conduct ongoing monitoring and maintain an inventory
regarding Tunicates and other invasive species, and shall be required to participate with
the County and state agencies in an adaptive management program to eliminate,
minimize, and fully mitigate any changes arising from the resort, and related to
Pleasant Harbor or the Maritime Village.
u) In keeping with the MPR designation as located in a setting of natural amenities, and in
order to satisff the requirements of the Shoreline Master Program (JCC
18.15.135(1),(2),(6), the greenbelts of the shoreline should be retained and maintained
as they currently exist in order to provide for "the screening of facilities and amenities
so that all uses within the MPR are harmonious with each other, and in order to
incorporate and retain, as much as feasible, the preservation of natural features, historic
sites, and public views." In keeping with Comprehensive Plan Land Use Policy 24.9,
the site plan for the MPR shall "be designed to blend with the natural setting and, to the
maximum extent possible, screen the development and its impacts from the adjacent
rural areas." Evergreen trees and understory should remain as undisturbed as possible.
Statesman shall infill plants where appropriate with indigenous trees and shrubs.
v) In keeping with an approved landscaping and grading plan, and in order to satisfr the
intent of JCC 18.15.135(6), and with special emphasis at the Maritime Village, the
buildings should be constructed and placed in such a way that they will blend into the
terrain and landscape with park-like greenbelts between the buildings.
w) Construction of the MPR buildings will be completed in a manner that strives to
preserve trees that have a diameter of 10 inches or greater at breast height (dbh). An
arborist will be consulted and the ground staked and flagged to ensure the roots and
surrounding soils of significant trees are protected during construction. To the extent
possible, trees of significant size (i.e., 10 inches or more in diameter at breast height
(dbh)) that are removed during construction shall be made available with their root
wads intact for possible use in salmon recovery projects.

x) Statesman shall use the LEED (Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design) and "Green Built" green
building rating system standards. These standards,
applicable to commercial and residential dwellings
respectively, "promote design and construction
practices that increase profitability while reducing
the negative environmental impacts of buildings,
and improving occupant health and well-being."
y) There shall be included as a best management
practice for the operation and maintenance of a golf
course within the MPR that requires the developer to
maintain a log of fertilizers, pesticides, and
herbicides used on the MPR site, and this
information will be made available to the public.
z) Statesman shall use These standards are
recommended for "areas with intrinsically dark
landscapes" such as national parks, areas of
outstanding natural beauty, or residential areas
where inhabitants have expressed a desire that all
light trespass be limited.
aa) In fostering the economy of South Jefferson County
by promoting tourism, the housing units at the
Maritime Village should be limited to rentals and
time-shares; or, at the very least, it should be
mandated that each section be required to keep the
ratio of 650/o to 35Yo of rental and time-shares to
permanent residences per JCC 18.15.123(2).
bb) Verification of the ability to provide adequate
electrical power shall be obtained from the Mason
County Public Utility District.
cc) Statesman Corporation shall collaborate with the
Climate Action Committee (CAC) to calculate
greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) associated with
the MPR, and identiff techniques to mitigate such
emissions through sequestration and/or other
acceptable methods.
dd) Statesman Corporation is encouraged to work with
community apprentice groups to identiff and
advertise job opportunities for local students.
