The meeting was called to order by Chairman Larry W. Dennison with
Commissioner B.G. Brown and Commissioner Richard E. Wojt both present.
Mark Huth. Deputy Prosecutin2 Attorney re: Appointment of Port Com-
missioner: (See also Minutes of March 11, 1991) Mark Huth, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney,
reported that one way to alleviate the controversy that has developed regarding the method
used by the Board for the appointment of a Port Commissioner, is to have each member
state who they nominated and take another vote. The Board agreed to this procedure.
Chairman Dennison clarified that the Board members will state who they nominated each time
during the previous meeting and then a vote will be taken.
Chairman Dennison began by stating that on the first nomination he submitted the
name of Art Curren. The second time he also nominated Art Curren. On the third
nomination he submitted the name of John Wynn.
Commissioner Woit reported that he submitted the name of John Wynn for nomination
each time.
Commissioner Brown reported that he submitted the name of Nancy McConaghy for
nomination each time.
Commissioner Wojt moved to appoint John Wynn to the vacant position on the Port
Commission. Commissioner Brown seconded the motion which carried by an unanimous
vote.
Approval of Minutes: Commissioner Wojt moved to approve the minutes of
March 4, 1991 as corrected. Commissioner Brown seconded the motion which carried by a
unanimous vote.
Dick Immel. Mana2er. Tri Area Community Center re: Temporary
Satellite Dish Installation at Tri Area Community Center: Dick Immel, Manager, Tri
Area Community Center, reported that the Tri Area Community Center has been selected by
the State Department of Social and Health Services to be a site where information for training
foster parents will be provided by satellite. The training program uses a two way live uplink
and the students will be able to talk with the professor during the training,
Dick Immel reported that the satellite dish that is at the community center is not working and
mày be moved in the Mure. The DSHS is willing to provide a smaller satellite dish for this
program, on a temporary basis, at no cost to the County. The Advisory Board is in favor of
keeping a satellite link at the Center for the various types of training that are avail~ble
through State and federal agencies. DSHS is willing to leave this dish at the Center as long
as it is used.

BUSINESS FROM COUNTY DEPARTMENTS:
PUBLIC WORKS
HEARING re: Petition to Vacate a Portion of County Road Ri2ht-of-
Way and Lot Lines Tukey Avenue; Nelda Wythe. Petitioner: Public Works
Administrative Secretary, Eileen Simon, reported that this petition is to vacate approximately
146 feet (36 feet wide) of the easterly side of Tukey Avenue in Tukey's Addition as well as
some lot lines. The request is being made to allow the petitioner the required space for an
acceptable septic drainfield. She then reviewed the agency responses and Planning
Commission recommendation. The Planning Commission unanimously approved vacation of
the lot line and vacation of only that portion of Tukey Avenue that lies northeasterly of the
center line of Lots 1 and 2 and easterly of an extension of the westerly line of Lot 1.
Chairman Dennison opened the public hearing.
Curt Eastman, Adjacent Property Owner: Curt Eastman explained that he had an engineer
on the site and the engineer felt that the drop in elevation would make access to the lower
portion of this right-of-way very difficult. The portion that the Planning Commission
recommended for vacation would leave enough of the right-of-way for Mr. Eastman to be able
to build the access he needs.
Mr. Eastman stated that as long as he has access to his property, he agrees with the
Planning Commission recommendation, but he would like to have the other half of the right-
of-way vacated also. He continued regarding his plans for the Mure and how this vacation
will effect those plans. Mr. Eastman asked the Board to table action on this vacation until
he has a chance to talk with Nelda Wythe about a private easement if the whole street is
vacated, and talk with his attorney and the Planning Department. .
Commissioner Brown asked if Curt Eastman's testimony was considered by the Planning
Commission? Eileen Simon confirmed that the Planning Commission did consider his
testimony.
Tom Sisk, Representative for Petitioner: Tom Sisk stated that the easiest way to build an
access road is along the contour lines of the property, so Mr. Eastman's concern about
building a road in the future is not a problem. Mrs. Wythe has talked with Mr. Eastman
several times and has not been able to help him reach a solution to his problem. The
Planning Commission's recommendation will meet Mrs. Wythe's needs. Mr, Sisk stated that
the Board should not postpone taking action on this request.
Commissioner Wojt asked how far above the road the house foundation would be? Mr. Sisk
responded the foundation would be approximately 12 feet above the road. Commissioner
Brown noted that the County's main concern is that there is adequate access for all the lots
that are in the area. Eileen Simon reported that the Planning Commission felt that a 30 foot
right-of-way would be adequate for access to the back lots. They were aware that there are
seven lots (under one ownership) on one side of this right-of-way.
After further review of the map of the plat, Commissioner Brown stated that it looks like a 30
foot right-of-way would be adequate to serve Mr. Eastman's lots, especially since they are
under the same ownership.
Hearing no further comments for or against the proposed vacation, Chairman Dennison closed
the public hearing.

Commissioner Brown stated that the recommendation of the Planning Commission is
reasonable and he moved to approve the vacation as recommended. Commissioner Wojt
seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
Additions to the Official County Road L02; Woodland Hills Development.
Airport Cutoff Road; Woodland Drive. Cottonwood Court. Rid2eview Drive and
Marilyn Court: Eileen Simon reported that these additions to the County Road Log are
per an agreement with Eagle Eye, Inc. for the Woodland Hills Development. The right-of-
way has been deeded to the County and the roads have been brought up to County
standards. Commissioner Brown moved to approve Resolution No. 21-91 updating the
Official County Road Log by the addition of these roads. Commissioner Wojt seconded the
motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
Establishin2 a Name for a Private Road; Vapor Trail (Tabled on March
4. 1991): 911 System Coordinator, Bob Henderson, reported that the property owner was
under the impression that he had to name this road, but the Public Works Department
doesn't feel that it is necessary. Commissioner Brown moved to deny the request to
establish a private road name as submitted by Building Plus,' Inc. Commissioner Wojt
seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
Establishin2 a Name for a Private Road; Kalala200n Drive. Kala Point:
Bob Henderson reported that this is the third time a name has been considered for this
private road. All of the names suggested by the petitioners have included the words Kala
andlor Lagoon. Since there are already road names established in the County which include
these words, the Public Works Department recommends that Kalalagoon Drive not be
approved.
Commissioner Wojt moved to deny this request to establish a private road name of
Kalalagoon Drive. Commissioner Brown seconded the motion. The motion carried by a
unanimous vote.
Annual Certification; County Road Administration Board: Commissioner
Brown moved to adopt the Annual Certification to the County Road Administration Board as
submitted, Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion. The motion carried by a unanimous
vote.
FACILITIES MANAGEMENT
Mark Huth. Deputy Prosecutin2 Attorney re: Castle Hill Mall Lease:
Health Department Administrator, David Specter and Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, Mark Huth,
came before the Board to discuss the lease of space in the Castle Hill Mall for the Health
Department.
David Specter presented a space needs study which indicates that the Health Department
will need all of the space to be leased. He reported that Frank Gifford has put together a
cost estimate based on the improvements needed. The cost of renovating the space has
increased largely due to plumbing needs for the Health Department.
Commissioner Brown stated' that since the Board has not had any time to review this
proposal, he is not comfortable with making any decision on the lease. Commissioner Brown
moved to table consideration of the lease of the Castle Hill space until next week,
Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.

Pete Piccini. Sheriff's Department and Linda Ellin2sen re: Use of County
Road by Port Ludlow W alk/Run (Scheduled for May 4. 1991): Greg McCary, Pope
Resources and Unda Ellingsen, Event Coordinator of the Port Ludlow 8k (5 mile) Walk/Run
came before the Board to request permission to close one lane of Paradise Bay and Oak
Bay Roads on the day of the run.
Greg McCary reported that one of the problems last year was the difficult course because
it included some steep hills. The proposed course this year was planned on flatter terrain,
but it will be on a portion of Oak Bay Road and Paradise Bay Road. There was a
recommendation after last year's run that if the event went on a public road that one lane
of the road be blocked for safety. Mr. McCary continued by noting that the run will begin
and end at the Port Ludlow Recreation Center. The run will take approximately one hour.
Cones will be placed down the centerline of the road to guide the runners.
Commissioner Brown asked Chief Criminal Officer, Pete Piccini, if he felt that the suggested
route is feasible and that traffic control is manageable? Pete Piccini advised that traffic in
general is the concern.
Commissioner Wojt asked if the course could be routed on the top portion of the
development and then on to Swansonville Road? Unda Ellingsen explained that the place
where the race starts and ends must have parking and bathroom facilities. Craig McCary
stated that this race route is the only one that allows for a detour for the traffic in the area
during the race.
Pete Piccini noted that stopping traffic on one lane will take a lot of traffic control. ,The
Paradise Bay Road doesn't allow a safety area for the runners. McCary stated that the
runners would only be on Paradise Bay Road for about 10 minutes at the beginning of the
race and then the road could be open. It would have to be closed again when the runners
returned at the end of the race. Pete Piccini explained that there is not an adequate way
to warn people that the road would be closed.
Linda Ellingsen stated that news releases would be provided to all the newspapers to let
people know the date of the run and that traffic on these roads would be closed for a period
of time. Signs would also· be put up to warn people.
Commissioner Wojt asked how much parking there is at the mini storage area? Greg
McCary answered that there is not much parking in that area. Chairman Dennison suggested
that buses be chartered to take runners to the starting point and the race could be kept on
top of the hill in the development. Commissioner Brown reiterated that the Oak Bay and
Paradise Bay Roads are both very busy all the time.
After further discussion of the alternatives for routing the race that wouldn't use Oak Bay
Road or Paradise Bay Road, Chairman Dennison asked that the race organizers work with
the Sheriff's Department to come up with another route.
McCary stated that they will work with the Sheriff's Department on an alternate route but
asked if the Board would consider allowing the race to go forward on the proposed route this
year? The Board members concurred that they would not approve this route.
PLANNING AND BUILDING
Adoption of the Jefferson County Hearin2 Examiner Ordinance: Associate
Planner Eric Toews reviewed the changes made to the proposed Hearing Examiner
Ordinance as a result of the public testimony received.
Section 5.00 Standards of Conduct, Subsection 1 : This provision allows the examiner
to receive information from government officials and employees when the request is
made in writing. The request and the information provided must be made part of the
written record of decision.

Section 12.00 Powers and Duties, Subsection 2 Recommendations: Recreational
Vehicle Parks were omitted from this list.
Section 14.00 Appeal of Examiner Final Decisions, Subsection 1 (a): The wording of
this subsection has been changed to be more descriptive.
Section 15.00 Examiner's Quarterly Report: Quarterly reports will be sent to the
Planning Commission and the Board.
Commissioner Brown asked what the effective date 'should be for this ordinance? He added
that he feels it shouldn't be effective until a Hearing Examiner is hired. Eric Toews stated
that the Planning Commission could be used as a IIpro temll Examiner until one can be hired.
After further discussion it was determined that an effective date of May 15 would give enough
time to hire and train an examiner.
Commissioner Brown moved to approve ORDINANCE NO. 1-0318-91 with the changes as
proposed to be effective May 15, 1991. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which
carried by a unanimous vote. Craig Ward reminded the Board that the Development Code
and Subdivision Ordinances will have to be amended to reflect the areas that will be covered
by this Ordinance.
State Environmental Policy Act Review and Threshold Determination;
Fairwood Villa2e LPOl-91; A 20 Lot Residential Subdivision; Adioinin2 Teal Lake
Road (Mon2 the Eastern ed2e of the Port Ludlow Golf Course); Pope Resources:
Associate Planner Jerry Smith provided copies of the Threshold Determination issued for the
overall Port Ludlow Plan in 1987. David Cunningham, Pope Resources, reported that this
project is item 178 of that plan. Jerry Smith then reviewed this project which consists of
development of nine acres into 20 single family detached units. Teal Lake Village is directly
to the east of this project site. This project has a density of just over two units per acre.
55% of the project is dedicated as open space. All of the lots are on community sewer and
water. Some of the slopes along Teal Lake Road are quite steep.
Jerry Smith further reported that quite a bit of erosion has occurred in the open space area
between the lots and Teal Lake Road. In the ravine to the south there is evidence of
siltation. It appears that the erosion containment methods used to date have not been
effective. A mitigative measure is recommended that requires that an erosion control plan
be submitted and approved by the County before any further work is done on the property.
There are additional mitigative measures to deal with the impervious surfaces, a stormwater
management plan and the use of oillwater separators. A traffic impact study has been
required for the Teal Lake Village project and it is appropriate that this project be added to
that study. A total of five mitigative measures are recommended for this project.
Commissioner Wojt asked if there was any consideration given to cumulative impacts from
the development in this area? Jerry Smith reported that cumulative traffic impacts were dealt
with in the mitigative measures. There is a ten year water monitoring program to measure
cumulative impacts to water quality from stormwater runoff.
David Cunningham stated that the cumulative impact issues have been traffic and stormwater
runoff. An updated Port Ludlow Development Master Plan has just been finished in which
traffic and water quality impact studies have been commissioned. Looking at what each
project does to traffic impacts doesn't make as much sense as looking at the overall traffic
impacts from all of the development proposed in the area. This update will be submitted to
the County for review in about another month.
Commissioner Brown moved to issue a mitigated determination of non-significance and lead
agency status for the Fairwood Village as presented. Commissioner Wojt seconded the
motion for discussion. After further review of the mitigative measures the Chairman called
for a vote on the motion. The motion carried by a unanimous vote.

State Environmental Policy Act Review and Threshold Determination;
Olympic Vista #LL2-91; Division of 95 Acres into 16. Five Acre Tracts; 1/2 Mile
East of Dabob Bay on the Toandos Peninsula;. Mor2an Bryant: Jerry Smith
reviewed this proposed large lot subdivision of 95 acres which is located six to seven miles
from Highway 104 on the Coyle Peninsula. The primary environmental issues, Jerry Smith
noted are:
1) Wetlands - The wetlands on this site are identified on the north side of the site
as well as east of the Coyle Road on Lot 3, Lot 15 and Lot 1.
2) This property was logged under a Forest Practice Permit (Class III issued in
12/86) which required reforestation at the level of 190 stems per acre. The
reforestation was done, but does not meet this requirement.
3) The Coyle Road is identified as an arterial road and the proposal would include
11 to 12 new driveways along this road. Since it is an arterial road, accesses
to it must be minimized. An internal roadway system is required for large lot
subdivisions.
The proponent has been advised of these environmental impacts and three mitigative
measures have been proposed for this project.
Commissioner Brown asked how the reforestation requirements not being met can be dealt
with by the County? He added that he doesn't feel the County can do anything with this
project until the issue of meeting the intent of the Forest Practices Act is resolved. Jerry
Smith reported that the Planning Department wrote to the project proponent advising him that
there was no violation of the forest practice permit, but that the replanting obligation had not
been met.
Tom Kirth. reDresentinQ MorQan Brvant: Tom Kirth stated that his client was concerned
about the Forest Practices permit not being completed and that is why they asked the
Planning Department for a letter stating that they were exempt from the provision of this Act.
The DNR has stated that the reforestation is not at the required level, Jerry Smith reported.
Chairman Dennison asked that the DNR be contacted to find out if the intent of the Forest
Practices permit has been met.
Monty Johnson: Monty Johnson stated that the property was acquired in 1990. Jim
Pearson read from Resolution 35-90 which states "all lands within Jefferson County which
have been harvested as a Class I, II or 11/ forest practice, and which have been . . .
otherwise rendered inconsistent for commercial timber production within three years following
the forest practice, shall not be issued any approval or permit to construct or otherwise alter
the property, including but not limited to road approach permits, building permits, and utility
permits." This prohibition is applicable to permits issued on or after January 1, 1987. This
forest practices permit was issued in December of 1986.
Chairman Dennison stated that the issue is whether the intent of the forest practices permit
has been met, which is a separate issue from the County imposing a moratorium on
subdivision of the property.
Mr. Johnson noted that he could tell by looking at the property that the Forest Practices
permit had not been fulfilled. DNR told him that if the property wasn't going to be used as
timberland then they didn't care if the intent of the reforestation was met. Chairman
Dennison stated that he would like to see in writing a statement from DNR that the intent of
this Forest Practices Permit does not have to be fulfilled.
Monty Johnson asked what happens if the DNR will not write a letter regarding this Forest
Practice Permit? Chairman Dennison stated that the property will have to be re-planted in
accordance with the terms of the permit.
Commissioner Wojt moved to table action on this threshold determination until more
information is received from the DNR. Commissioner Brown seconded the motion which
carried by a unanimous vote.

State Environmental Policy Act Review and Threshold Determination;
Hoh River Park ß; Development of Nine. Five Acre Tracts on 48 Acres; Adiacent
to Hoh River. West of Hi2hway 101 on Oil City Road; Monty Johnson: Jerry
Smith reviewed this project on the West End of the County adjacent to the Hoh River. 48
acres is being divided into eight (8) five acre tracts. The property contains Department of
Fisheries holding ponds and there is a creek on the property as well as wetlands. Portions
of the subdivision are within the 100 year floodplain of the Hoh River. Monty Johnson
reported that he is in the process of giving the State Department of Fisheries an easement
for their holding ponds.
Jerry Smith reviewed responses from several State agencies regarding this proposed project
and the environmental checklist. Jim Pearson reported that this site is designated as
Conservancy under the Shoreline Program because there is a resource in the area that
needs protection or it is an environmentally sensitive area. The Comprehensive Plan
designation of this site is Resource Production.
After further discussion of the proposed development and the environmental concerns on the
site, Commissioner Brown asked if it is necessary to require an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) to provide the information necessary for this project to move forward? Jerry
Smith reported that the Planning Department feels that the suggested mitigative measures will
minimize potential adverse environmental impacts.
Commissioner Brown moved to issue a mitigated Determination of Non-Significance with the
mitigative measures as proposed. (The motion was not seconded). Commissioner Wojt and
Chairman Dennison questioned the County's approval of plats in the 100 year floodplain.
Tom Kirth stated that the title companies pick this information regarding the flood plain from
their records survey and report it in the title report. This would also show up on the
purchase document and on the survey of the property.
Chairman Dennison stated that he is not convinced that there is enough information provided
on this area to make a decision on this project. Commissioner Wojt moved that a scoped
Environmental Impact Statement be required to provide more information on the habitat
impacts to the bald eagles, impacts related to development within the 100 year floodplain,
and land use compatibility related to impacts to environmentally sensitive areas including
wetlands, and shorelines of statewide significance.
The discussion continued regarding the County's' Aood Plain Management Ordinance.
Chairman Dennison called for a vote on the motion. Commissioner Wojt and Chairman
Dennison voted for the motion and Commissioner Brown voted against the motion. The
motion carried.
Harold Gruver. President and Vem Jones. Vice-president. Port Townsend
Senior Association re: Rental Form for Use at the Port Townsend Community
Center: Vern Jones and Harold Gruver of the Port Townsend Senior Association came
before the Board to discuss the rental of the spaces on the main level of the Port Townsend
Community Center. They asked if the County has a rental form that is recommended for
use? Commissioner Brown reported that the County does not have a standard form. Vern
Jones stated that they would like to use the same form that the Fair Board uses, which
addresses issues such as set up time as well as liability, and rules for use. Commissioner
Wojt moved to allow the Senior Association to use a standard rental agreement form and that
they provide a draft agreement for the Board's consideration. Commissioner Brown seconded
the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
Harold Gruver asked if the required quarterly report should just cover monetary matters?
Chairman Dennison stated that he would like any maintenance issues or problems noted in
the quarterly report.
Vern Jones then discussed the interior door locks, the lack of a flagpole at the facility and
window coverings in the building. He added that the Senior Association will try to find some
grant money to do some of the interior work.

Harold Gruver asked the Board what they expect of the Senior Association in regard to the
management of the building? He reported that there is an employee on the site from 10
a.m. to 2 p.m. and a volunteer from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Also the members of the Board of
Directors each have been assigned a week to be responsible for the main floor of the
building during the evening hours. A three person sub-committee has been assigned by the
Seniors to take care of the maintenance problems. Commissioner Brown stated that there
is a Community Center Advisory Board established to manage the building. The Senior
Association manages the first floor of the building.
.
The request from WSU Cooperative Extension to install a satellite downlink on the roof of the
building was then discussed. The Senior Association Board sent a letter requesting that the
Board not approve the location of this dish at the Community Center. Commissioner Wojt
asked Mr. Gruver if Sally McDole had discussed this matter with him? Harold Gruver
responded that he talked with Sally McDole and said that he wanted additional information
about this service. She was invited to the next Board meeting of the Senior Association to
discuss the matter further. Vern Jones noted that there is not a lot of space in the building
for extra equipment. Harold Gruver added that the Senior Association wants to do programs
in the Center that benefit the community.
Discussion of Public Forums for Jefferson County Growth Mana2ement
Process: Senior Planner Craig Ward presented a memo outlining the format for nine public
forums on growth management. There is no funding in the Department's budget for
facilitators for these public forums. Commissioner Brown stated that he is concerned with
what kind of end product will be developed when these forums have been held.
Commissioner Wojt moved to authorize the expenditure of a maximum of $6,500 for the
facilitation of the growth management forums. Commissioner Brown seconded the motion
which carried by a unanimous vote.
Plannin2 Department Space Needs: Planning and Building Department Director
David Goldsmith asked if the Planning Department could use the purple conference room for
some of their staff for a period of time until a long term space solution is reached. The
Board will consider this request.
APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF THE CONSENT AGENDA:
Commissioner. Wojt moved to approve and adopt the items on the consent agenda as
presented. Commissioner Brown seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
1. RESOLUTION NO. 22-91 re: Vacàting a Portion of Arden Street and Lot Unes in
Irondale
2. RESOLUTION NO. 23-91 re: County Designated Mental Health Professionals
3. Application for Assistance from the Soldiers' and Sailors' Relief Fund: Donald Ash
$50.00
Application for Assistance from the Soldiers' and Sailors' Relief Fund:
Commissioner Brown moved to approve the applications for Assistance from the Soldiers' and
Sailors' Relief funds submitted for Gerald Gilbertson in the amount of $500 and John
Worthington in the aITIount of $424.00. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion. The
motion carried by a unanimous vote.
The meeting was recessed at the end of the business day on Monday and
reconvened on Tuesday with all Board member present.
Human Services Administrator Ella Sandvi2 re: 1. Need for ExPandin2
a Part Time Position to Full Time and. 2. Multi-Service Buildin2 Space; Second
Floor: Human Services Administrator Ella Sandvig reported that the 17 hour a week Clerk
Hire employee in the Human Services Department is leaving and she would like to add a full
time Mental Health Therapist II instead of hiring another part time person. She feels the
amount of revenue generated for the services provided would offset the cost of the full time

position. The Board concurred that the Human Services Department expand the part time
position to full time.
Ella Sandvig then explained that the Human Services Department could utilize the second
floor of the Multi Services Building for six counselor offices, a, meeting room,
reception/business office, waiting room, and file cabinet and storage area. If there were
adequate funding she could utilize the whole floor, but at present the funding available would
support using half the second floor, preferably the front half for handicapped access reasons.
Cooperative Extension A2ent/Chairman Sally McDole re: Satellite
Downlink Request to Move Equipment to the Port Townsend Community Center:
Cooperative Extension Agent/Chairman Sally McDole reported that she has met with the Port
Townsend Community Center Advisory Board regarding the possibility of moving the WSU
satellite to that building. She and Frank Gifford will be at the next Senior Citizen Advisory
Board meeting to ask permission to locate the satellite downlink there.
She then explained that the satellite is inoperable at this time as it was not installed properly
at the Tri Area Community Center. She would like to have the satellite installed properly in
a more convenient location. Options were discussed in terms of what is best for the
community. Sally McDole advised that she feels the Advisory Board was positive about
moving the satellite to the Community Center. She noted that the Senior Citizen Advisory
Board initially seemed resistent to the idea due to misinformation. If the satellite remains at
the Tri Area Community Center a new cabinet and tuning is necessary. Sally McDole stated
that most Cooperative Extension meetings are held at the Tri Area Community Center.
The Board concurred that the satellite downlink placement is centrally located at the Tri Area
Community Center and that a relocation is not needed at this time. It was noted that a
cabinet should be built and the satellite tuned. Sally McDole was directed to see Frank
Gifford regarding the construction of a cabinet, and to arrange for the tuning of the satellite.
