Water Quality Planner re: Discussion of Board's Response to Port Ludlow Watershed Plan: Water Quality Planner Teresa Barron reported that only six recommendations in the Port Ludlow Watershed Plan are left for the Board to review. Mter the Board's review is completed these draft recommendations will be taken back to the Port Ludlow Watershed Management Committee for their review. #OM-I0 - "Develop feasibility study on County ability to increase number of restroom facilities and pumpout stations available to boaters in the Ludlow Watershed." Staff recommends that this be revised to identify the Public Works Department as the implementing agency. Since Public Works maintains County facilities and supervises the preparation of capital facilities reports they would be able to determine if a study is necessary. Teresa Barron added that the County staff supports recommendation OM13 which asked private owners of existing boating facilities to explore means to increase existing capabilities. She reported that all of the private groups that were asked to address OMI3, answered that they were only interested in providing these services for their group, not the public. Pope Resources responded that they have plans to re-evaluate their facilities and would be able to implement this recommendation. The estimated cost of the study (OMI0) is $2,500 in existing staff time. The study would be completed by December 1994. Commissioner Brown asked what the study would be used for? Teresa Barron reported that it would be a brief feasibility study to determine if there is any County property in the watershed suitably located for the installation of a pumpout station. Chairman Dennison suggested that the recommendation be reworded to say "work with the State. private interests. and the Hood Canal Coordinating Council to increase the number of restroom facilities and pumpout stations for boaters." Teresa asked if the Board wants to turn this recommendation over to the Public Works Department because they handle facilities for the County? The Board agreed with the re-wording and that Public Works be the implementing agency. OMll - "Develop a feasibility study on County ability to maintain a mobile pumpout unit for the Ludlow Watershed." Staff recommends that this be reviewed by the Public Works 18., 00 8CO Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of August 17, 1992 Page: 2 Department. She added that they could review this along with the study for OMI0. The Board concurred that this be combined with OMI0 and that Public Works review it. This review of these recommendations in the Ludlow Watershed Plan will continue on Monday August 24, 1992. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: Timber revenues from the State and Federal governments were discussed.

They have a public relations program set up for their herbicide spraying activities. The herbicide applicators are all licensed by the State. They need to apply the herbicide before the leaves start to turn color, and they use a broadcast spray application. Mter discussion of the Conservation District water quality monitoring program for aerial applications of herbicides, Bob Henderson suggested that the County's water quality monitoring personnel be used to monitor this application. Chairman Dennison stated that he feels that the County should deal with this request as they have similar requests from Puget Power. He suggested that Mason County PUD be advised that the County is working with Puget Power to develop a public process for input and review of herbicide application requests, and that they be invited to join in that. Commissioner Brown agreed that these requests be treated the same. Rita Kepner. Clallam Jefferson Community Action Council re: Head Start Proeram Space Rental at the Port Townsend Community Center: Frank Gifford, Facilities Manager, was present when Rita Kepner, Clallam Jefferson Community Action Council, came before the Board to discuss increases in the rental fee paid for space used by the Head Start Program at the Port Townsend Community Center. Chairman Dennison advised that the County is willing to work with CAC on this matter. vat.. 18 00, 'Ii.. _ 861 iI...f Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of August 17, 1992 Page: 3 PLANNING AND BUILDING Amended Plat: J. Kent Howard Short Plat #SP20-76: Cape Georee: Permit Technician Michelle Grewell reported that Lot 2 of the J. Kent Howard Short Plat is owned by Janet Millar, who has since purchased a 50 foot strip of land along the adjacent unplatted property. She has requested that this 50 foot strip be included as part of Lot 2. The Prosecuting Attorney has reviewed this request and advised that the Short Plat be amended to include the 50 foot strip of unplatted property adjacent to Lot 2 as requested. Commissioner Brown moved to approve the amended J. Kent Howard Short Plat (SP20-76). Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. HEARING re: Amendioe Plannioe & Buildine Department Fee Schedule: Director Craig Ward reported that this hearing is to discuss the proposed amendment to the Planning and Building Department fee schedule to include the following: Interim Zoning Applications $75.00 SEP A Pending Threshold Publication $40.00 SEPA Pending Threshold Notice Boards $45.00 * * $15.00 is returned to applicant when boards are returned to Planning Department. Commissioner Brown asked if the SEP A Threshold publication fee of $40.00 is in addition to the fee for the SEP A Pending Threshold Notice boards? James Holland, Senior Planner, reported that is correct. Craig Ward explained that the total SEP A checklist fee, including these new fees, would be $135 ($120 if the notice boards were returned). Chairman Den- nison asked why there isn't one fee which would cover all of these items? Craig Ward indicated that the fees can be combined instead of being stated as three separate fees. Chairman Dennison then opened the public hearing. Fred Tuso clarified that the statement in the memo from Planning would lead an applicant to believe that the County staff posts the Notice boards, when in practice the applicant is required to post the notice boards. Mter discussion of alternative methods for making these boards in order to keep the cost down, Craig Ward agreed to research other ways of making and printing these boards. Fred Tuso reported that the boards are made of 1/4 inch plywood which is expensive. He sug- gested that they look into the type of boards that are used by Real Estate companies, that are plastic and last longer than wood. Chairman Dennison suggested that the ordinance wording be changed to say that the deposit on the notice boards will be equal to the cost of the boards. Hearing no further public comment, Chairman Dennison closed the hearing. Commissioner Brown moved to combine the SEP A checklist and publication fees to $90.00 and include an additional $30.00 refundable fee for the public notice boards. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion for discussion. Craig Ward suggested that wording be added that the deposit will be refunded if the boards are returned in good condition. Commissioner Brown stated he feels that would be a burden on the applicant and the County should refund the deposit if the boards are returned (no matter what condition they are in). Commissioner Brown clarified, for the Planning Department, that the SEP A Checklist fee is being raised to $90.00. The applicant will pay an additional $30.00 for the notice boards which will be refunded when the boards are returned. VOL 18 H'Æ 00 8C2 Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of August 17, 1992 Page: 4 Craig Ward asked if the $75 fee for interim zoning applications is being approved? Com- missioner Brown amended his motion to include approval of the $75 fee for Interim Zoning Applications. Commissioner Wojt seconded the amendment to the motion. Commissioner Brown then amended the motion to include an effective date for this fee ordinance of Sep- tember 1, 1992. Commissioner Wojt seconded this amendment to the motion. The Chair- man called for a vote on the amendments and the main motion. The amendments and the motion carried by a unanimous vote.
