Katherine Baril, Cooperative Extension re: Buildinl: Update: Extension Agent/Chairman Katherine Baril thanked the Board for Cooperative Extension's new space in Port Hadlock. The convenient location and improved accessibility have contributed to record attendance at several meetings. They have received_ very positive responses from program participants regarding the new space. There was also a discussion about a leadership workshop that was facilitated by Cooperative Extension. A series of these workshops are planned that will focus on an assessment of community issues. The participants hope to define indicators for future success. These workshops are non-political. Everyone in the community is welcome to attend. GMA Update: Director of Public Services Gary Rowe listed the meetings scheduled for the week, which include a Water Utility Coordinating Council and Growth Management Steering Committee meeting. The next step in the Water Resources Council process is to create an interlocal agreement between the County, City, PUD and the Tribes (and possibly the State.) This agreement would address support of future water resources planning. Gary Rowe asked for direction from the Board. Commissioner Huntingford stated that water issues in the County need to be addressed; but he has concerns that the Water Resources Council is rushing the process to take advantage of current grant funding. He feels it would be better to set up structure and priorities and apply for grant money next year. Commissioner Hinton asked if the Prosecuting Attorney's Office has been involved in the process? Gary Rowe stated that he will be meeting with Deputy Prosecutor Paul McIlrath to discuss the interlocal agreement this week and that it is the first time they have been consulted. The Growth Management Hearings Board has found the County's interim resource land designations out of compliance with GMA. A replacement ordinance will be ready soon for review by the Prosecuting Attorney. The County has 60 days for the public process to adopt a replacement ordinance.

RESOLUTION NO.9-95 re: The Statutory Vacation of a Portion of Sutter Street; Plat of Captain Tibbals Lake Park AGREEMENT re: 1995 Hotel/Motel Funding For Services Provided; Jefferson County Historical Society Application for Assistance from the Veteran's Relief Fund; American Legion Post #26 for $489.00 Findings, Conclusions and Order; Declaring a Six Year Moratorium Relating to all Permits for Non-Forestry Uses for the Property Harvested Under Class 3 Forest Practices Permit 02-12950; #SUB94-0048, Quava Trust, Phil Dryden Final Plat Approval; To Subdivide a 15.7 Acre Parcel into 4 Lots; Located on the Southeast portion of Marrowstone Island, West of Baldwin Road; Avery Short Plat, #SUB94-0065; F.E. Avery Appoint Citizen-At-Large Representative to Serve on the Port Townsend Community Center Advisory Board; Two year Term, Expiring February 21, 1997; Phyllis Marble Solomon BUSINESS FROM COUNTY DEPARTMENTS PLANNING AND PERMIT CENTER Preliminary Plat Approval: Subdivide 42 Acres into 14 Lots: Located Near Chimacum-Ouilcene Road. Tarboo Creek: Valley View Lon2 Plat. #SUB 94-0079: Phil Bolin2: Associate Planner Jim Pearson explained that two issues regarding this plat were not adequately addressed in the original staff report. For this discussion, the Board received a memo dated February 15, 1995 that details these issues. The first issue deals with conformance with the County Interim Urban Growth Areas Ordinance. The proposal is consistent with Section 4.00 of the ordinance adopted on January 10, 1994. VOL 21 r~r;:334: Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of February 21, 1995 ................................... The second issue deals with proof of an adequate potable water supply. If a lot is larger than two acres, the applicant is not required to provide a water system. In this case, although there are no well logs adjacent to the property, there is concern that the ground water in the area is high in minerals. In discussing this issue with Phil Boling, he stated that he intended to install Class B community water systems on the site. He had three wells drilled on the property, two of which contained too many minerals. Jim Pearson does not have the welllog for the third well. Jim Pearson suggested four options for this mitigation. His recommendation to the Board is to require provision of potable water prior to final plat approval. Commissioner Hinton moved to approve the preliminary Valley View Long Plat with the additional condition that the applicant provide adequate potable water prior to final plat approval. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion. He stated that he still has some concerns about SEP A mitigations that have not been adequately addressed. Chairman Huntingford and Commissioner Hinton voted for the motion. Commissioner Wojt voted against the motion. The motion carried. Discussion re: Final Miti2ated Determination of Non-Si2nificance for Relocation of the Port Ludlow Store and Gas Station: Located at the Intersection of Paradise Bay Road and Oak Bay Road: IZA94-0046: Pope Resources: Associate Planner Jerry Smith asked for clarification of Mitigation 14 of the final MDNS on this project. In this mitigation the Board directed that the project comply with the Coordinated Water System Plan, adopted in 1986, and the Uniform Fire Code. He presented the Board with the following suggested language to modify the mitigation: "In order to avoid significant impacts to fire protection services the proponent shall, at its own expense, design and install water systems with flow volumes and hydrants sufficient to meet fire protection standards for commercial development found in the Coordinated Water System Plan, adopted in 1986, and Uniform Fire code, to be approved by the County Building Official. Any requested variance from these standards shall require written approval from the Fire Protection District, per UFC." After a brief discussion, Commissioner W ojt moved to approve the Staff recommendation for suggested language on Mitigation 14. Commissioner Hinton seconded the motion which carried by unanimous vote. Hearin2 Examiner's Recommendation.

Commissioner W ojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Request for Release of Funds: Port Hadlock Teen Center: The Board reviewed a memo from Director of Community Services David Goldsmith regarding release of funds for the Teen Center. Dave Clevenger, Vice President of the Jefferson County Home Builders Association, stated that his organization has been working on this project for several months. He listed the donated improvements that have been done on the building. He stated that the budgeted $15,000 is necessary to do a good job to get the facility operating and to have a selection of activities to attract teens. After a brief discussion, Commissioner Hinton moved to approve the release of $10,000 for the Teen Center; that the remaining $5,000 in the 1995 budget will be allocated for matching funds for future grants that the Coyote Foundation has indicated they will be applying for; and that County staff assist them in making grant applications. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion, which carried by a unanimous vote.
