TO: Jefferson County Commissioners: Kler, Sullivan and Dean
FROM: Joe and Joy Baisch, Brinnon, Washington
SUBJECT: August 14th Meeting: County Commission, Jefferson County DCD, Planning Commission
Commissioners,
It is time to move the Pleasant Harbor Project forward. The Planning Commission has published their
report. lt is obvious that several members of the Planning Commission are against the Project. You
have given everyone enough time to present their opinions.
The Tribes were invited to the table at the beginning of the Sub Area Planning process. They did not
attend or show any interest in the Brinnon Community's efforts to create a future vision. The Sub Area
Plan was challenged with the same arguments that you are hearing from a few member of the Planning
Commission. Our Vision prevailed with the Hearings Board.
The Tribes were invited again, by the Developer, to participate in the process and chose not to present
voice until the "final hour". An offer was made to the Objecting Tribe and again they refuse to sit down
with the Developer?
Commissioners, lt ls Decision Time... You just voted to ask Jefferson County Property owners for an
additional 5.36/ Thousand to underwrite low income housing. Living wage job opportunities would be
a better option. The Pleasant Harbor Development has the potential of doubling the tax base of
Brinnon & ultimately enhancing that of Jefferson County. Please, step up and get this Project Goingl
You owe it to your Property Owners who pay the County's Bills.
JoOe and Joy Baisch, Brinnon, Washington
