buildout of the Developer’s Property within the Pleasant Harbor MPR and will further
promote growth management and planning objectives of the County by providing certainty
over time with respect to permitted densities, uses, development standards and other
aspects of the development review process.
WHEREAS, the Parties to this Agreement acknowledge the Zoning Ordinance for
the Pleasant Harbor MPR (Chapters 17.***-17.*** JCC) is in conformance with the
standards set forth in the Countywide Planning Policies and the Jefferson County
Comprehensive Plan and is consistent with the goals and requirements of the Growth
Management Act, Chapter 36.70 RCW.
1 MF Comment: Calculation is based off of Charlotte’s (assessor’s office) review of the legal descriptions.

4 PRESERVATION OF NATIVE AMERICAN TREATY RIGHTS.
4.1 Recognition of Native American Treaty Rights.
4.1.1 Recognition of Fishing Rights.
The Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe is the successor in interest to Indian bands and tribes
signatory to the 1855 Treaty of Point No Point, 12 Stat. 933 (Treaty).8 The Treaty reserved
to the S’Klallam the right to take fish at all these “usual and accustomed grounds and
stations” (U&A)—an area roughly centered on the Hood Canal.9 Within these areas the
Port Gamble S’Klallam and other tribes (collectively “Tribes”) that share the U&A are
entitled to take half the harvestable fish and shellfish, and retain the right to access private
property to fish and to shellfish.10
The Pleasant Harbor MPR will be located between two public beaches, at the mouth of the
Duckabush and the Dosewallips Rivers, which provide both significant commercial and
ceremonial/subsistence harvest opportunities to the Tribes with U&A fishing rights in the
area. The two delta flats are among the most important intertidal areas to Port Gamble
S’Klallam Tribal harvesters based on acreage available, habitat available and existing
natural manila clam and pacific oyster production.
The Developer’s Property sits atop a bluff above these two public beaches. Further, though
located between these two public beaches, access to the public beaches on the trail from
the Developer’s Property has been curtailed and will continue to be curtailed permanently.
The Developer has addressed these concerns in the Stormwater Management requirements
attached as Appendix B and Water Quality Monitoring Plan attached as Appendix O.
4.1.2 Recognition of Hunting Rights.
The parties understand that the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe have expressed concerns that
Elk hunted by the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe in areas outside of the Developer’s
Property could be attracted to the Pleasant Harbor MPR once it is built out. The Developer
has addressed these concerns in the Wildlife Management Plan attached as Appendix P.
4.1.3 Recognition of Cultural Rights.
The parties understand that the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe believes that the uniqueness
of geologic features and oral historical accounts relating spiritual entities linked to the land,
the traditional plants harvested generationally by S’Klallam people from the past and
within living memory, as well as multiple campsites and Native American place names
known in the area, all directly contribute to unique cultural significance of the area.
8 United States v. Washington, 459 F. Supp. 1020, 1039 (W.D. Wash. 1978) (Boldt II).
9 Boldt II, 459 F. Supp. at 1041.
10 See, e.g., United States v. Washington, 873 F. Supp. 1422, 1444-45 (W.D. Wash. 1994) (Shellfish I).
10
The parties and the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe discussed the Port Gamble S’Klallam
Tribe’s concerns about the initial proposal by the Developer to use Kettle Ponds B and C
for storing stormwater and treated wastewater as potentially resulting in significant
damages to Traditional Cultural Properties (TCPs) that may meet multiple federal criteria
that render them eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe has not applied for including of any TCPs on the
National Register of Historic Places.
4.2 Preservation of Treaty Rights.
This Agreement is not intended to impact the Tribes’ Treaty rights.
Nothing in this Agreement should be viewed as an attempt to curtail tribal rights under the
Treaty.
The parties respect the Tribes’ rights under the Treaty.
The Developer will work cooperatively with the Tribes so that they can fully exercise their
Treaty rights at and near the Pleasant Harbor MPR.
5 IMPACT ON WATER QUALITY OUTSIDE OF THE DEVELOPER’S
PROPERTY
5.1 Recognition of Significant Nearby Natural Resources.
The Developer recognizes significant natural resources are nearby the Developer’s
Property.
5.2 Developer’s Agreement to Address Impacts of the Pleasant Harbor MPR on
Nearby Natural Resources.
The Developer has addressed these concerns in the Stormwater Management requirements
attached as Appendix B and Water Quality Monitoring Plan attached as Appendix O.
The Developer agrees to address demonstrated impacts of the Pleasant Harbor MPR to
water quality both on-site and off-site.
6 RESERVATION OF POLICE POWER OF THE COUNTY
6.1 Police Power.
The Developer understands and agrees that pursuant to RCW 36.70bB.170(4), the
execution of a development agreement is a proper exercise of the County’s police power.
11
6.2 Reservation of County Authority.
The Developer understands and agrees that pursuant to RCW 36.70B.170(4) and JCC
18.40.840(3)(d), a development agreement shall reserve authority to impose new or
different regulations to the extent required by a serious threat to public health and safety.
Accordingly, the Developer understands agrees that the County’s authority to impose new
or different regulations to the extent required by a serious threat to public health and safety
is reserved and nothing in this Agreement affects that authority.
