MINUTES
WEEK OF APRIL 4, 1994
Chairman Robert Hinton called the meeting to order in the presence of
Commissioners Glen Huntingford and Richard Wojt.
Request for Fundinl!: Port Hadlock Teen Center: Community
Services Director David Goldsmith reported that the Port Hadlock Teen Center
has submitted a request for $10,000 in funding for Center operations. The
County provided the Center $6,000 last year for start up funding. There will
be some funding through the State after July 1, due to a law passed for teen
programs. (Research, after the meeting, found that the Senate bill containing this funding did not pass).
Commissioner Huntingford recommended that the full amount not be approved
now. The County could help with a part of a match for other funding in the
future. Commissioner Wojt stated that he would like more information on the
effectiveness of this Center.
The Board then met in Executive Session with Prosecuting Attorney
Mark Huth regarding potential litigation.
GMA Update: GMA Project Manager Steve Ladd presented and
reviewed the revision of the draft Forest Lands Ordinance. Commissioner
Huntingford moved to set a hearing on this draft ordinance for Monday
evening April 18, 1994 at 7:00 p.m. in the Chimacum area (location to be
determined by facility availability.) Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion
which carried by a unanimous vote. The discussion then turned to the need to
provide the community planning groups with information on densities that may
impact their planning efforts.
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: Comments were received on proper-
ty tax statements and the way the taxes are distributed.
APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF THE CONSENT AGENDA:
Commissioner Huntingford moved to approve and adopt the consent agenda as
submitted. Commissioner W ojt seconded the motion which carried by a
unanimous vote.

to be determined by facility availability.) Commissioner Wojt seconded the
motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
Hearinl! Examiner Recommendation; Petition to Vacate a
Portion of Sixth Avenue (Between Lot 48 in Block 3 and Lot 25 in
Block 18 in the Plat of Irondale); Brian and Tomi Tucker: Commis-
sioner Huntingford excused himself from the deliberations because the ap-
plicant is his sister-in-law. Commissioner Wojt moved to approve the vacation
as recommended by the Hearing Examiner. Chairman Hinton seconded the
motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
Prosecutinl! Attorney Mark Huth and Wally Pedersen re:
Proposed Boundary Line Adjustment; Trail's End Plat: Prosecuting
Attorney Mark Huth reported that he has reviewed an application for a lot line
adjustment in the Trail's End Plat. The County's Subdivision Ordinance and
the State statute both allow Boundary Line Adjustments as an exemption to
subdivision requirements when the following criteria have been met:
1) The platting is between platted and unplatted lots,
2) No additional lot, tract, parcel, site, or division are created, and
3) No lot, tract, parcel, site, tract or division is created which contains
insufficient area and dimension to meet minimum requirements for
width and area of a building site.
He continued by noting that a lot is defined by State law and County Or-
dinance as "a fractional portion of land, sufficient in area and dimension to
meet applicable land use requirements." The County's Subdivision Ordinance
includes wording that the lot must meet the provisions of the Comprehensive
Plan, applicable community plan, and on-site sewage regulations.
Mark Huth added that two of the lots described in the application for the
Boundary Line Adjustment do not meet the criteria to be considered lots,
because they are vacated portions of rights-of-way. He then read from the
application for Tax Parcel 950100915 property description which says "that
portion of vacated South Beach Drive lying southerly of block 9. . ." Tax Parcel
721162024 is identified as "that portion of platted Ferry Street being approxima-
tely 60 feet in length and 60 feet in width lying between Block 9 and Block 8
and Lot 9 of Block 9 of the Trails End Home~ites First Addition. " When

right-of-way is vacated the property title reverts to the abutting land owner.
The Ferry Street vacation would have reverted title back to the abutting land
owners of the lots on either side of it. The vacated right-of-way becomes part
of the abutting lots and cannot be reconfigured into a separate lot. The same
is true for the vacated right-of-way in the Trails End Homesites.
Wally Pedersen pointed out that one of the pieces of property was sold by the
County at a public auction 10 to 12 years ago and was purchased by the
Buchmann's. He feels this property should be constituted a lot because it was
sold by the County and anyone could have purchased it.
Jeff Chapman, Assessment Operations Manager for the Assessor's Office
reported that the legal descriptions submitted by Mr. Pedersen and Mr.
Buchmann do not match what the Assessor's records show. Mark Huth added
that a tax parcel is not necessarily a lot. Jeff Chapman reported that the
vacated right-of-way was attached to the tidelands parcel instead of the
adjacent uplands parcel. Mark Huth reported that however this happened
there is a confused ownership pattern.
Wally Pedersen stated that he is willing to amend his Boundary Line Adjust-
ment request to six lots. He is willing to have an engineer legally describe all
the parcels. The Board concurred that Mr. Pederson have the Boundary Line
Adjustment application redrawn for six lots and have an engineer prepare legal
descriptions for the lots.
Veterans Relief Application: Commissioner Wojt moved to approve
the application for the Veterans Assistance Fund as submitted by the American
Legion in the amount of $478.63. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the
motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
Re-appointment to the Olympic Area Al!ency on Al!inl! Advisory
Council: Commissioner Huntingford moved to re-appointment Henry Redkey to
another three year term (term will expire April 21, 1997) as a Jefferson County
representative on the 03A Advisory Council. Commissioner Wojt seconded the
motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
Definition of Official Control and PI ann in I! Commission Review
of Proposed Forest Land Desil!nation Ordinance and Proposed Mineral
Land Desil!nation Ordinance: Prosecuting Attorney Mark Huth reported
that the definition of official control in the Planning Enabling Act is very broad
and he recommended that the Board have the Planning Commission review
and report on the draft forest lands and mineral lands ordinances.
The Board concurred that the forest land and mineral land ordinances be sent
to the Planning Commission for their review and a report.
HEARING re: Appeal of Final Mitil!ated Determination of Non-
Sil!nificance; Creekside Lonl! Plat LP05-92 and Ironwood Lonl! Plat
LP06-92 (Continued from March 21, 1994): Associate Planner Jim Pearson
reported that additional information has been submitted by Pope Resources
(dated March 30, 1994 - see attached) r.egarding both Creekside and Ironwood
Long Plats with exhibits regarding watér. The first five pages are responses to

questions that were raised at the March 21, 1994 hearing, Exhibit A deals
with water rights and obligations, and Exhibit B is material from the program-
matic EIS for Port Ludlow. A fax was also received which is a comparison of
the Olympic Environmental Council Exhibit B and the Pope Resources records.
Jim Pearson explained that he and Environmental Health Director, Larry Fay,
have prepared an analysis of the original Exhibit A "Water Rig-hts vs. Oblig-a-
tions." It was important in their analysis to insure that the figures presented
are consistent with the Environmental Impact Statement which was adopted by
Jefferson County. In a letter from Wendy Wrinkle (page 498 of the EIS) item
4 states "DOE (the Department of Ecology) concludes that the total annual
water requirement for Port Ludlow, not including the proposed development
program shall be 411 acre feet per year. This is 54 acre feet less than the 465
acre feet allocated by water right." This leaves 54 acre feet per year to be used
for the development program. The proposed development program requires an
additional 90 gallons per minute (or 145 acre feet per year). Fifty four acre
feet per year is available, therefore at buildout an additional 90 acre feet
would be required to complete the proposed development program. He then
noted that the original Exhibit A indicates that a total 318 acre feet per year
are necessary for the buildout at Port Ludlow, while the EIS states that 411
acre feet per year are necessary.
The report of examination for well #14 at Port Ludlow lists the various wells,
their water right numbers and the gallons per minute for that well. Gallons
per minute is an instantaneous rate. You can pump a well to that rate, but
the rate is higher than what the well can be pumped at over the entire year.
This is the rate the well can be pumped at peak times. The figure for acre
feet is the total that can be pumped from the well in one year. On wells
number 1 and 12 the water rights have been cancelled. If the gallons per
minute for the well are totalled (2, 3, 4a, 9, 4n and 13) the instantaneous
pumping rate is 654 gallons per minute (maximum that can be pumped on a
peak day.) Well 14 can be pumped at 400 gallons per minute, but it is a
supplemental water right and cannot exceed the existing water rights that
have been granted and are in effect. Table 5 from the EIS indicates that the
capacity needed to serve sold, but unbuilt lots (in gallons per minute) is 652
gallons per minute (peak day use.) The EIS estimates that 120 gallons per
minute is required as the yearly average use for present connections. If that
is multiplied by the 860 dwelling units, it yields 172,800 gallons per day. This
is more than the 137,600 gallons per day listed on Exhibit A. Larry Fay
added that the number they arrived at was using the average annual use
listed on Table 5 of 120 gallons per minute converted into gallons per day.
Larry Fay reported that in their analysis they tried to look at the water rights
(the annual yield and the instantaneous demand to meet the needs of the
water system design for the subdivision), and the existing condition demands
from the EIS, and then establish a baseline. In the response to the Wrinkle's
letter 411 acre feet per year are projected and adding in the approved plats
you come up with a figure of 444 acre feet per year. Figuring, with the design
flow of 160 gallons per day, per unit, for the commitments to date and current
proposals, yields 342,560 gallons per day while Exhibit A indicates 307,360
gallons per day. Adding in 11 acre feet for Creekside and 17 acre feet for
Ironwood, gives 472 acre feet per year. The existing water rights are for 465
acre feet per year which leaves a deficit of 7 acre feet per year. The instan-
taneous (peak day use) pumping rate is 713 gallons per minute (gpm) with the
use from the water rights of 654 gpm.

David Cunningham stated that last week information was presented by the
GPLCC in their appeal of this MDNS and a continuance was granted because
Pope Resources hadn't had time to review that information to develop a
response. Now, the same thing is happening again. New information has been
presented that Pope hasn't had any time to review it. He would like a
continuance of a week to be able to go over these figures.
Jim Pearson added that he and Larry Fay took Exhibit A, presented at the
last hearing, and plugged the EIS figures into it.
Steve Hayden reported that the Greater Port Ludlow Community Council
(GPLCC) did not appeal the MDNS, it was the Olympic Environmental
Council. He also asked that a time be set for analysis of the information that
has been presented. He suggested setting a week from today as a deadline for
analysis of existing information. He added that they raised a new issue at the
last hearing based on information from the State Department of Health which
was issued after the EIS was published. He asked that the State Department
of Health be asked to come up and discuss where they got their figures.
Larry Fay pointed out that the figures are based on the assumption of a peak
day use of 480 gallons per connection which is in the EIS. The State Depart-
ment of Health, in evaluating a water system design, uses a figure of 800
gallons per day, per connection, unless there is justification from the water
system plan for a number less than that. Pope is working on the water
system plan now.
Robert Krutenat added that one acre foot per year is approximately equivalent
to 890 gallons per day and therefore 445 gallons per day is approximately 1/2
acre foot per year.
Chairman Hinton noted that the appeal procedures are being reviewed, because
it is not fair to anyone to have people come in not knowing what the appeal is
about in the first place. Time is needed for preparation. Chairman Hinton
then suggested that a deadline of one week from today be set for submission of
any additional information with another week for review before it is put back
on the Agenda.
Jim Pearson reported that at the last meeting the Board asked that a work-
shop with the Department of Health and the Department of Ecology be
arranged. He explained that he has spoken with the DOE and a representa-
tive can come to a meeting if given at least a week's notice and Carl Johnson
from the DOH is willing to come if a meeting is set up. He asked if the
Board would like a meeting with these representative before a decision is made
on this matter?
David Cunningham clarified that the issue being discussed is if there are
adequate water rights to serve these two particular plats. The issue of
whether or not there is adequate source keeps coming up. That was a topic of
the EIS.
Larry Fay reported that DOH is willing to come up and do a workshop for the
Board regarding water.
Clifford Hanson, Vice President of Robinson and Noble the groundwater
geologists that did the groundwater analysis for the EIS, repqrted that the
water rights for well #14 were issued as supplemental. - The "supplemental"

portion is only for the acre footage. He explained that a water right has two
numbers attached to it: instantaneous (gallons per minutes) usage and acre
footage (the total amount of water that can be taken out in a year). If a well
is capable of pumping 1,000 gallons per minute and is pumped all year long, it
will produce a substantial number of acre feet of water, but almost no well in
the State is ever pumped for that duration. The State can grant a well an
instantaneous right upon demonstration that the well can produce a certain
amount of water. The State is also charged with judging how much water can
be put to beneficial use. Most water systems are short on peak day use, even
though they may have plenty to get them through the year (acre footage). The
supplement portion of the right is granted when a system can demonstrate
that the water will be put to a broad beneficial use. The supplemental right
allows a system to, in effect, "reserve water" for development that will happen
at a later time.
Jim Pearson clarified with Mr. Hanson that the supplemental rights, will allow
an additional 300 gallons per minute of instantaneous withdrawal (on the
Exhibit analysis), making it 954 gallons. The water rights allow this instan-
taneous withdrawal with the acre footage not to exceed 465. Water rights are
a Department of Ecology responsibility.
Clifford Hay continued by noting that the Department of Health must look at
the water rights to determine if a system can provide sufficient water for the
health and welfare of the constituents within certain guidelines. According to
WAC 246-290-200 the DOH is mandated to consider historical usage as the
factor to consider in sizing subsequent growth. If there isn't any historical
usage figures the DOH will use a figure that is from a similar area. Once
usage data is established their estimated use figure is revised to the demonstr-
ated consumption number. The EIS notes that Port Ludlow has 20 years
worth of water usage records and the average is 160 gallons per day per
connection. Mark Huth asked how the amount of water needed for fire flow
is a determined? Mr. Hay answered that fire flow is a sizing factor when the
delivery system is designed by an engineer. Fire flow is usually handled by
storage.
Chairman Hinton asked if there is not enough water in the system, who is
ultimately responsible for fixing that problem? Mr. Hanson responded that the
water purveyor has that ultimate responsibility. When a water purveyor
provides a letter of water availability to a house or a business they are
committing to provide that amount of water. Mark Huth pointed out that the
question is who is responsible if the water purveyor has made the commitment,
but the County has approved a subdivision. The County is responsible for
making a finding that appropriate provision has been made for water in order
to issue preliminary plat approval.
Mr. Hanson reported that when the water availability analysis was made for
the EIS, they tried to be conservative in estimating the amount of water
available (utilizing the data), and generous in projecting the amount of con-
sumption. If a water problem develops the water purveyor can restrict use
(irrigation, etc.) or supplement public irrigation on the demand side. On the
supply side the water purveyor can do things such as, enhance the amount of
water going into the ground, or employ water reuse techniques, etc.
Bob Krutenat pointed out that the RCW only allows municipalities and PUD's
to reserve water rights for future use. Private water purveyors can only use
water rights for current beneficial use.

Chairman Hinton noted that this issue is not going to be resolved today. The
discussion turned to the need for submission of all information to the Planning
Department by a certain date so that all parties could get copies to review,
and the best way to get more information from the State Departments of
Ecology and Health. Commissioner Huntingford moved to set the comment
deadline for Friday April 8, 1994 to the Commissioners Office and that the
hearing be continued to Wednesday April 13, 1994 at 3:00 p.m. The Planning
Department will contact the State Department of Health and Ecology to have
representatives at this meeting.
David Cunningham reported that the Ironwood appeal involves the same water
issues as well as some additional issues. He asked if a decision can be made
on the other issues today?
Hiller West reported that:
· Conditions 2 and 8 relate to erosion control and removal of vegetation.
Harvey Fleming submitted comments regarding the need to preserve trees
on slopes exceeding 15% and also by the proponent regarding the lack of
flexibility in the removal of vegetation. The Planning staff recommends that
the geotechnical report be referenced as a basis for any review or condition-
ing of clearing and removal of vegetation. The County has no ordinance
authority to prohibit the removal of trees. There are geotechnical considera-
tions related to slope stability and erosion control.
· Condition 14 refers to impacts on parks and recreation. Parks and recrea-
tion are an element of the environment and are therefore appropriate to
refer to within the SEP A review. David Cunningham commented pre-
viously that these items are also addressed as part of the plat review, and
that is correct. The suggested SEPA condition to mitigate these impacts is
to establish an agreement between Pope Resources and the County which
can be developed during the plat review. Staff recommends that this
condition be retained.
· Condition 15 - correct to refer to Ludlow Water Company. This was simply
an error.
· Conditions 19, 20 and 24 should all be deleted because they are addressed
under the preliminary plat review and are not necessary under SEP A.
David Cunningham reported that with reference to Condition 8, the Depart-
ment of Public Works doesn't review grading on specific lots, so to postpone
being more specific or to use the guidance from geotechnical report on a lot by
lot basis at the time of building doesn't happen. There needs to be a condition
imposed on those lots as part of the subdivision approval.
Linda Mueller, Pope Resources, questioned the wording in Condition 8 which
she interprets as meaning that the developable area of each lot could not
include an area where the slope exceeds 15%. She added that areas of 15% or
steeper slope can be utilized for building as long as there is appropriate
mitigation.
VDt ~O fA(,~.618
Hiller West reported that the way condition 8 is currently written it does
provide for grading on slopes exceeding 15%. The confusion occurs at the very
end of the condition where there is a reference to reconfiguring proposed lots
11, 12 and 21 to ensure that sufficient area within each lot is available for
Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of April 4, 1994
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
residential development outside of those slopes. The intent is to insure that
lots that are approved provide sufficient buildable areas outside of steep slopes.
Once the lots are approved, if development is still proposed within those steep
slopes a geotechnical report can be submitted for review. This condition does
not preclude building within areas of the lot that exceed 15% slope.
David Cunningham said that there is confusion about steep slopes and unstable
slopes. Steep slopes aren't necessarily unstable. The 15% ESA that is in the
County's SEP A ordînance is an administrative threshold that says that an
environmental checklist is required if there are slopes on a property that
exceed that threshold. The issue of stability was raised and Pope Resources
decided to have a geotechnical report done on these lots. Since the guidance of
the geotechnical report is there, he stated it seems logical that more specific
mitigation can be imposed on the plat. David Cunningham read the condition
and explained that it says that "Revision of the proposed lot configuration for
11, 12 and 21, shall be provided as part of the final plat design to insure that
sufficient area within each lot is available for residential development without
encroachment within slopes exceeding 15%." This condition precludes any
development on slopes exceeding 15% on these three lots, even if they are
stable.
Hiller West recommended that the language at the end of the condition be
revised to say". . . is available for residential development and associated
improvements; and further grading within slopes exceeding 15% would be
conditioned consistent with the geotechnical report."
David Cunningham noted that they don't want to allow anyone to build on
slopes that are unstable nor do they want to be unduly restrictive from limb or
tree removal for views onto the golf course.
Hiller West answered that staff recommends that condition 2 be expanded to
say that "Removal of diseased and dangerous trees be allowed and that selective
thinning of vegetation on slopes exceeding 15% be in accordance with an
approved geotechnical report." The County doesn't have the authority under
current ordinance to preclude thinning or removal of vegetation on slopes
exceeding 15%. The County does have the authority to require a geotechnical
report as a basis for any condition on thinning or vegetation removal.
David Cunningham questioned whether there is anyone in the County qualified
to approve a geotechnical report. He suggested that wording be added to the
condition stating that the geotechnical report must be prepared by a licensed
geotechnical expert and submitted to the County.
David Cunningham stated this is the first time the County has required them
to enter into (as stated in Condition 14) an agreement with the County
regarding the provision for' recreational facilities. The State subdivision statute
requires that the County see that adequate recreational and open space are
provided for. He asked that the County judge whether their proposal meets
this requirement or not. The Subdivision Ordinance requires a 10% land area
set aside for Open space and that is the condition regarding parks and recrea-
tion. Open Space alone doesn't address all recreational impacts.
Prosecuting Attorney Mark Huth inteIjected that under SEP A there must be
an impact, and then in order to mitigate that impact, the County must have
adopted policies that specifically address it. In order to approve the sub-
division (through the Subdivision Ordinance) the County must make certain
. -'20 u£I~619

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
that there is adequate provision for parks and recreation. Any mitigation must
be reasonable. He feels that if this condition is going to say "enter into an
agreement" the County should know what is going to be agreed to. He feels
this condition is too vague.
Commissioner Huntingford noted that at this time the County doesn't have a
park plan for that area and Pope Resources has provided parks in their
planned development. He questioned what the County would ask Pope to
provide, other than the Open Space? Davíd Cunningham stated that it is clear
to him that condition 14 isn't an appropriate condition. Commissioner Hun-
tingford moved to delete condition 14. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion
which carried by a unanimous vote.
Commissioner Huntingford noted that he agrees that conditions 15, 19, 20 and
24 should be corrected or deleted as recommended. The discussion turned back
to condition 8 and whether or not the wording means that building could
happen on portions of the lots that are over 15% slope. Mark Huth stated
that he feels either the lot reconfiguration should be required or a geotechnical
report should be required. The way the condition is currently worded seems to
be at cross purposes. Since Pope Resources has already done the further study
(submitted a geotechnical report) he agrees with David Cunningham that there
is no need to require that these lots be reconfigured, only that they be condi-
tioned according to the geotechnical report.
The mitigation measures will be redrafted as directed.
Commissioner Wojt moved to continue this hearing on the Ironwood plat to
April 13, 1994 at 3:00 p.m. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion
which carried by a unanimous vote.
Critical Areas Ordinance: Steve Ladd asked the Board for direction
on the draft Critical Areas Ordinance. After discussing some of the issues,
Commissioner Huntingford stated that he would like more time to look into
issues on the Ordinance before givíng any direction.
The meeting was recessed at the conclusion of the scheduled business
and reconvened on Tuesday morning with all three Board members present.
Approval and Sil!ninl! of AGREEMENT; Kiwanis Camp at
Jefferson County's Beausite Lake Park; Northwest Kiwanis Camp: Bill
McHugh, President of the Northwest Kiwanis Camp Board thanked the Board
for their consideration and efforts. They will provide the County with more
information during the construction of the camp facilities. They are hoping
that the camp will be ready for operation by 1998. They then presented slides
of the camp area.
Commissioner Huntingford stated that he is proud to be a part of this project
which he feels will benefit the whole northwest as well as Jefferson County.
He then moved to approve and sign the agreement with the Northwest Kiwanis
Camp. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by a un-
animous vote.
