Port Gamble Fisheries re: Request to Reconsider Waiver of Six Year Moratorium: Phil Bolin2 Property: Brinnon: Peter Bahls, Port Gamble Fisheries Biologist, reported that the Board waived the six year development moratorium on the Phil Boling Valley View long plat (#LP06-93) in Brinnon (See Minutes of March 14, 1994.) He requested that the Board set a hearing on this matter for two reasons: 1) the Planning staff did not provide the Board with all of the information presented by several parties, and 2) in letters of June 2, 1993 and October 22, 1993 he asked to be notified of when the Board would be considering this matter. He was not notified of the Board's meeting. Jerry Gorsline, Washington Environmental Council, reported, at the request of Chairman Hinton, on the citations issued due to violations that occurred with the Forest Practice permit on this property. Julie Jaman expressed concern about the impact this type of action has on the work that the Community Planning Committee's are doing with regard to GMA. The Board advised that they would discuss this matter with the Planning Department staff and make a determination about setting a hearing at a later date.

Senior Planner James Holland reported that more Board direction is needed to produce the next draft of the Critical Areas Ordinance: · Whether or not to use building and septic permits as triggering permits, and; · How to address the shellfish issue in the ordinance (He suggested that a separate Agricultural Land designation ordinance may be the best way to address this issue). He added that a SEP A Threshold determination is required for the Forest Land and Mineral Land ordinances. The Board cannot take any formal action on these ordinances until a final threshold determination is issued. This will be a five to six week process. With regard to population projections, as questioned by the City of Port Townsend, James Holland reported that he is reviewing the analysis the City had done by a consultant and will complete that review sometime next week. The discussion then turned to the need for a separate ordinance to protect shellfish, and if there are already protections in the draft CAO. Associate Planner Lesa Barnes reported that the publication summary of the Zoning Ordinance will be submitted to the Board later this week, after it is approved by the Prosecuting Attorney for publication in next week's Port Townsend Leader. She then reported on the meeting with all of the Community Planning Committees.

Commissioner Huntingford moved to issue final plat approval for LP#07-93 Rhododendron Estates. Chairman Hinton seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Subdivision Exemption and Boundary Line Adjustment: SUB94-0029: Coyle Road. Ouilcene: Robert H. and Caroline R. Jacobson: Kent Anderson explained that this parcel was originally platted as a single parcel, but there is a County road going through it. He asked if the division by the public right-of-way makes this one parcel or two? Prosecuting Attorney Mark Huth reported that the Subdivision Ordinance states that this property could be considered two parcels because it is split by a public right-of-way that existed prior to 1968 (Coyle Road.) In order to approve this request for a boundary line adjustment, Mark Huth suggested that a condition be added that the applicant agrees that it is one parcel in perpetuity. If that is the case, in order to sell a portion of the property (even though it is separated by the public road right-of-way), it would have to be subdivided. Jeff Lavin with Land Title stated that the property owners are fully aware of the restriction that would go with the boundary line adjustment. He noted that boundary line adjustments and conditions are shown on the title insurance for property. The Board concurred that the boundary line adjustment be granted with a notation to the title of the property that the property cannot be sold as two parcels unless it goes through the subdivision process. Senior Planner James Holland and Prosecutin2 Attorney Mark Huth re: Draft Critical Areas Ordinance: Senior Planner James Holland and Prosecuting Attorney Mark Huth discussed how to make changes suggested by the Board to the draft Critical Areas Ordinance regarding protection for shellfish, the use of building permits and septic permits for single family residences as triggering permits for the CAO, and the size exemptions for wetlands. James Holland reported that he has corrected the typographical errors and the mis-references to sections. He discussed the need for an additional finding regarding the hearing in March; the need to delete the word "fence" in the wetlands sections; and the insertion of the term "professional geologist" in the list of people who can do geological reports under the ordinance. The discussion continued regarding the functions of buffers for wetlands and wildlife.
