Dennison called the meeting to order at the appointed time in the presence of Commissioner Brown and Commissioner W ojt. Prosecuting Attorney Mark Huth and Director of Community Services David Goldsmith were present to discuss a grant to Community Counselling Center to offset one time start up costs. Commissioner Brown stated that any funding should be handled through a contract. David Goldsmith will check into this further and get back to the Board later. Public Comment Period: The closing of the landfill, the increased cost of dumping fees and problems with people that dump their garbage on private property were discussed. BUSINESS FROM COUNTY DEPARTMENTS: PUBLIC WORKS Application to Open Ri2ht-of- Way; E. Price Street in Irondale: David Hensel. Applicant: 911 System Coordinator Bob Henderson explained that this request is to open the right-of-way on E. Price Street between 5th and 6th Streets to install a water line. The Port Townsend Water Department originally asked David Henzel to put the water line down the entire length of the street. This would make the street passable, and as a result, it would be used as a throughway. The Public Works Department recommends that Mr. Henzel improve the road to meet County standards. David Hensel explained that, since the time of application, he had spoken with another person in the Water Department and was told the water line only had to go about 200 feet, to the furthest edge of his development. Bob Henderson said he would check with the City of Port Townsend on the current requirements. Discussion of Downs Creek Road Project: Road Projects Manager Bruce Laurie reported that this project in the West End must go through the SEPA process, which can take 60 to 90 days. A Shoreline permit is also required. In addition, the County has to acquire right-of-way from Department of Natural Resources and from a private individual. These additional processes can delay the start of the project. The work on Downs Creek Road should begin in August or it will have to be postponed until next year. If it is postponed, any problems with the road this winter will have to be "patched" until the actual work can begin next year. ~li_ 18 t" ., :; ~~ 00.. 815 Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of July 20, 1992 Page: 2 APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF THE CONSENT AGENDA: Commis- sioner Brown moved to delete item 10 and then adopt and approve the balance of the items on the consent agenda as presented.

Discussion of Fee Schedule Amendment for The Plannint: and Buildin2 Department (Continued from July 13. 1992): Senior Planner James Holland presented a fee schedule that compares fees in Jefferson County with fees charged in adjacent counties. The fees being considered are: Radon Test Kits, Interim Zoning applications, SEP A Checklists and Large Lot Subdivision applications. He added that Kitsap County will be reviewing their fee schedule later this year. Beginning July 1, 1992, State law directed that the Building Department give Radon Test Kits to any person applying for a building permit. The Board agreed that these kits be incorporated in Building fees and not be classified as a separate fee. At the present time there is no fee for processing Interim Zoning applications. Staff time spent in preparing information for the Hearing Examiner and attending the hearings is of concern. Commissioner Dennison asked if there was a way to decrease the amount of _VÜl 1· 8 ·f,r·" 00 - '. - . :r'Ù;,~ ,,:,- -. -.. 81.7 ". '. .. Commissioners' Meeting Agenda: Week of July 20, 1992 Page: 4 staff time spent on the Hearing Examiner process? Planning Director Craig Ward explained there is a boilerplate that is used, but each application must be evaluated on a case by case basis. He suggested that some applications could be processed as administra- tive determinations, rather than sending them to the Hearing Examiner. Jefferson County requires additional steps in SEP A reviews which include a pending application publication and the posting of property. The threshold determination for SEP A is also published. James Holland explained public participation has increased due to the signage and the extra publications in the newspaper. Other counties' fees for SEPA include publication costs that amount to about $40.00, although none of the counties charge for the posting of property. The proposed fees for the signs would be $45.00 deposit with a $15.00 refund if the signs are returned. Craig Ward explained that under the new subdivision ordinance, there is no longer the classification of "Large Lot Subdivision". There are short plats and long plats, with different sized lots. The minimum fee for all subdivisions is $350. Therefore, this fee is covered under the recently adopted Subdivision ordinance. Commissioner Brown moved to set a public hearing on the proposed amendments to the Planning and Building fee schedule regarding the SEP A Checklist and Interim Zoning application. The hearing is scheduled for August 17, 1992 at 2:30 p.m. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by unanimous vote.
