Conclusions. and Recommendations; Application to Vacate a Portion of Indian Island Ferry Road; United States Navy. Applicant: Administrative Assistant Eileen Simon reported that this request is from the U.S. Navy to vacate a 1,050 foot long portion of Indian Island Ferry Road which is immediately adjacent (west of the Indian Island Annex Road) to a portion of the Indian Island U.S. Naval Reservation. The road goes down to the former ferry landing on Indian Island. The Hearing Examiner held a public hearing on this request, and developed findings of fact which are: * The proposal does not appear to comply with the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan and other applicable plans, policies and ordinances. The right-of-way is not needed for area circulation or for future traffic use. The effectiveness of fire, medical, law enforcement or other emergency services would not be impaired. The right-of-way cannot be effectively used for a utility corridor, or if it can, easements have been reserved. The right-of-way could effectively be used for a trail or pathway purposes and easements would not be preserved if the right-of-way is vacated as proposed. The right-of-way does abut a body of salt water. The proposal will not land lock any parcel of property. * * * * * * The Hearing Examiner recommends that the vacation request be denied, Eileen Simon continued. It is the conclusion of the Prosecuting Attorney and the Hearing Examiner, after reviewing the documents provided by the Navy as well as the County records, that the County still owns the tidelands abutting the end of that road. This road provides public access to the salt water. Chairman Wojt reported that a letter has been received from the Navy asking that the Board delay making a decision on the Hearing Examiner's recommendation. Commissioner Huntingford stated that the Navy has had time to produce information. After noting that there was a representative from the Navy present, and other persons present who had asked to present testimony, Prosecuting Attorney Mark Huth explained that if the Board agrees with the Hearing Examiner's recommendation, they do not have to take further testimony, but they certainly may choose to listen to those present. If the Board is not going to take the Hearing Examiner's recommendation, then they would need to take testimony in order to develop their own findings and conclusions. The Board concurred that they would take testimony from those present. Ron Smith. representing the U.S. Navy. reported that the Navy is requesting time to have a title search done by a commercial title company. If the title search does not prove that the Navy owns these tidelands, then they will withdraw the vacation request, if it does indicate their ownership they will continue with their request to have the road vacated. Howard Lischke stated that the notice published regarding the Hearing Examiner's hearing identified the wrong portion of the road. He continued by reporting that there is an earth fault in the proximity of the Portage Canal Bridge which he feels makes this access road important. He has information on the condition of the existing road which is contrary to the information that was presented by the Navy at the hearing. He feels this is a vital road that should not be vacated in the event the bridge is ever severely damaged by an earthquake and a ferry is the only way for people to get on or off the island. Commissioner Huntingford asked if the public would have access to the County property by walking up the beach if this portion of the road is vacated? Public Works Director Gary Rowe reported that the County no longer has a lease on the property near the bridge which has been used as a County Park for a number of years. This property was traded by the Navy to the State Department of Natural Resources. ~ YOl;!~9 r~Œ t~· D. ot,:) ..)C9 Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of January 19, 1993 Page: 3 Mr. Liebeck stated that if the Navy is successful with this vacation and closes off the road they will not open it to the public. After consideration of the public access issues, Commissioner Huntingford moved to accept the recommendation of the Hearing Examiner and deny the Navy's request to vacate a portion of Indian Island Ferry Road. Commissioner Hinton seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Recommendation for Bid Award and Approval of Construction Schedule; Project SW1022 LandfilVSepta2e La200n Closure: Solid Waste Specialist Jeff Frettingham reported that the bids for the closure of the landfill and the septage lagoon have been reviewed and the Public Works Department recommends that the bid be awarded to Tri State Construction for their low bid of $1,251,597.00. He also asked that the Board approve the construction schedule to allow completion of the project by September 30, 1993. After discussion of the reasons for closing the landfill in a timely manner, the possibility of another alternative for handling solid waste and postponing this bid award, Commissioner Hinton moved to delay this bid award until February 1, 1993. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Recommendation for Bid Award; Project SW1025 Waste Export Plan: Jeff Frettingham reported that two bids were received on the waste export plan for long term handling of solid waste. He reported that the recommendation is to award the bid to Regional Disposal Company for their low bid ($904.96 per trailer for disposal and $18.21 per ton for transport). This works out to $47 per ton for the five year term of this contract. Chairman Wojt asked if there is an escape clause in this contract? Gary Rowe reported that there is but the Prosecuting Attorney will have to advise the Board on how it works. Chairman Wojt asked if this bid award can be delayed? Gary Rowe reported that it is costing the County additional money to continue hauling garbage on the short term contract. Commissioner Huntingford noted that even if an alternative for handling the solid waste is found, it will take several years before any system is up and running, so this contract is necessary. Commissioner Hinton moved to award the bid to Regional Disposal Company as recommended by the Public Works Department. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Settin2 a Public Hearin2 re: An Ordinance Establishin2 Fees for the Solid Waste Division: The hearing notice for the proposed ordinance increasing the solid waste fees was then reviewed. Commissioner Huntingford moved to approve the hearing notice setting the hearing for February 8, 1993 at 11:00 a.m. After discussion of what time would allow the greatest number of people to participate in the hearing, Commissioner Huntingford amended his motion to change the time for the hearing to 7:00 p.m. Commissioner Hinton seconded the amended motion which carried by a unanimous vote. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: Comments were made by concerned citizens regarding the regulations required by the Growth Management Act. Suggestions regarding how the Board should proceed with drafting or re-drafting these ordinances were made.
