After that hearing was closed the Board asked the Public Works Department to review the cost figures and the proposed fees and to have the Solid Waste Advisory Committee review the proposed fees. The fees have been adjusted in response to this review and the new fees have been reviewed by the Solid Waste Advisory Committee. In the original fee schedule the base rate per ton, plus 4.6% tax, was rounded to the nearest dollar and set at $56.00.

The short term space needs of the Health Department must be dealt with while a lease or purchase of space is pursued. Mark Huth suggested that a letter be written to the mall owners to let them know that the County still has some interest in this property. Gary Rowe reported that space in another building may be leased on a short term basis to provide an interim solution to the Health Department space needs. Mark Huth suggested further that Gary Rowe and David Specter work together on options for an interim solution to the Health Department space needs. The Board concurred that this be done. COOPERATIVE EXTENSION Katharine Baril. Reaional Water Quality Field Aaent. Cooperative Extension re: Status Report on Water Quality Education Proaram: Katharine Baril, Regional Water Quality Field Agent, reported that funding for the water quality field agent program is being considered by the legislature. The Puget Sound Water Quality Authority has adopted this program as their, number one priority for funding. The Senate budget includes a 35% cut in the Water Quality Authority's budget. Jefferson County supports this Water Quality project with $4,000 per year which is 10% of the State funding for the project. Katharine Baril asked the Board members to contact their legislators about funding for this program. She then presented information on the water quality project to the Board. The Board then interviewed a person interested in serving as a Jefferson County representative on the Olympic Area Agency on Aging Advisory Board. After that they met in Executive Session with Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Mark Huth and Public Works Director Gary Rowe regarding a personnel matter. PLANNING AND BUILDING Kevin Burke re: Request for Waiver of Requirement; Ust of Adiacent Property Owners for Proposed Pro~ect from a Title Company: Kevin Burke was present when Associate Planner Jerry Smith explained his request for a waiver from the requirement that he submit a list of adjacent property owners that has been obtained from a title company. The Title companies charge $65 for doing this work. Jerry Smith added that home businesses are categorized into two types: home occupations and home based businesses. Mr. Burke has a home occupation. Kevin Burke reported that he has a part time landscaping business. He has a shed that he stores his equipment in and when he gets a call for landscaping he puts the necessary equipment in his truck and goes to the job site. Chairman Dennison explained that the requirement for notification of adjacent property owners is necessary because commercial activities (such as home businesses) don't fit well in VQL 17 rA~ 00 3S~ I Commissioners' Meeting Agenda: Week of April 22, 1991 Page: 5 residential areas. The Development Code outlines limits on home businesses. It is policy that adjacent property owner lists be provided through a title company to assure that the lists are complete. Commissioner Wojt asked Mr. Burke how many neighbors he has? Mr. Burke stated that he has one neighbor that is building on their property and there is another house approximately 1,500 feet away. Commissioner Wojt asked if Mr. Burke could just list these property owners himself? Chairman Dennison noted that there isn't a problem until an adjacent property owner is not notified, and that is why the policy was established to have a third party develop the list. The discussion continued regarding the need to change this policy. Chairman Dennison noted that other alternatives are being researched. Jerry Smith reported that under the current procedural policy, there isn't any way to waive the requirement because one property only has a few neighbors. Chairman Dennison noted that there is no way to know how many adjacent property owners there are until a list has been developed. Chairman Dennison explained to Kevin Burke that he understands his request and sympathizes with it, but until a better system for getting these lists is found, he does not feel comfortable with waiving this requirement. The Board concurred that this request be denied and directed the Planning Department to review this policy and make a recommendation for a way to change it. HEARING NOTICE re: Petition to Vacate the Lot Une: Between Lots 20 and 21 Brldaehaven Plat Division 8: Wayne Lewis. Applicant: Jerry Smith reported that this petition is to vacate a lot line in the Bridgehaven Plat. Commissioner Wojt moved to approve the hearing notice setting the hearing for May 6, 1991 at 2:30 p.m. Chairman Dennison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Review Aaencv Comments Received on the Mltlaated Determination of Non- sianificance: Construction of a Replacement Retail Sales Buildina for Hadlock Bulldlna SUl)plv: 901 Nesses Corners Road: Morris James. Applicant: Jerry Smith reviewed the comments received from various agencies on the Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance issued for the Hadlock Building Supply expansion project. He noted that the comments from the DOE are not pertinent to this project, and the stormwater runoff is addressed under the suggested mitigated measures. Commissioner Wojt moved to reaffirm the Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance issued April 1, 1991 on the Hadlock Building Supply project. Chairman Dennison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Preliminary Lona Plat Approval #LP02-91 and Variance Reauests: Fairwood Vlllaae. 20 Lot Slnale Family Attached Unit Residential Subdivision on 9.3 Acres: West side of Teal Lake Road (1/4 mile South of Paradise Bay Road): Pope Resources (This Is a continuation from April 15. 1991): Commissioner Wojt moved to bring this matter off the table for consideration. Chairman Dennison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Jerry Smith reported that after review of the record of the Planning Commission hearing, it was confirmed that any reference to single family "attached" residences was removed from Condition 1. The Planning Commission recommendation on the requests for variance is: . Variance from Section 10 of the Subdivision Ordinance (private roads): Approve it with the condition that "the easement for public road ~ be increased in width to 60 feet, and include a stub or T extension to the west. /I . Variance to deviate from the design standards for the cul-de-sac at the end of Fairwood Lane: Approve it subject to five conditions. David Cunningham, Pope Resources, explained that the variances requested for the roads are: 1) that the roads be a private road system, and 2) that the roads not be required to have cul-de-sacs. The Planning Commission recommended that private roads be approved with the addition of Condition 16. The recommendation is to approve the variance on the cul-de-sacs with the addition of Conditions 17 through 20. .al 1 7 fA~ 00 "3S~ Commissioners' Meeting Agenda: Week of April 22, 1991 Page: 6 The Planning Commission recommends that preliminary approval be granted subject to the 20 conditions suggested, Jerry Smith concluded. Commissioner Wojt moved to grant preliminary plat approval for Fairwood Village with the 20 conditions as suggested and to approve the variances as recommended. Chairman Dennison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. State Environmental Policy Act Review and Threshold Determination: Water Svstem To Provide Water for Approximately 150 Connections: Woodland Hills: Eagle Eye Inc.. W.E. Seton. Applicant: Gene Seton, applicant, was present when Jerry Smith reviewed the environmental checklist for the water system for the Woodland Hills development across Airport Cutoff Road from the Jefferson County Airport. The proposed water system will serve the 40 five acre lots in the Woodland Hills development and may also serve another project owned by John Nesset in the same area. Jerry Smith then reviewed suggested mitigative measures for the project. Chairman Dennison noted his concern that if the project is built to its full capacity there will not be a SEPA review for cumulative impacts. He asked if this is the appropriate time to look at the cumulative impacts of the water system at full build out? Jerry Smith reported that a portion of the project has been reviewed (Woodland Hills) and another portion will be reviewed by the County because it is a long subdivision (John Nesset's property). Gene Seton stated that this project isn't new to the County. All of the roads in the system were built to County specifications and subsequently turned over to the County. The water distribution system was in place when the plat was reviewed by the County. The PUD says that 150 connections will be the full build out on this system, but that may take 10 to 20 years to occur. ' Chairman Dennison noted that every decision made on this project so far has been based on 40 lots, and the impacts of 150 potential connections has not been reviewed. Gene Seton stated that the maximum build out on this property is 100 lots and the road system and everything on the plat was set up for that number of lots. Commissioner Wojt moved to table action on this SEPA review until May 6, 1991 so that more information can be provided on when the cumulative impacts should be addressed. Chairman Dennison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. State Environmental Policy Act Review and Threshold Determination: Shoreline Substantial Development Permit 1#91-0004 and Certificate of Compliance #10- 91: Construct, a Commercial Boat Storage Building In Brlnnon: Michael Matthews: Associate Planner Jim Pearson reviewed the environmental checklist for this shoreline permit to construct a commercial boat storage building in Brinnon. The proposal site is Lot 1 of the Corey Short Plat. He reported that none of the construction work on this building would come within 100 feet of the Dosewallips River. The construction is within the 100 year floodplain. The suggested mitigative measures were then reviewed. Chairman Dennison questioned the condition regarding the buffer and suggested that a performance standard be added to it to give guidance on what is expected in the buffer. Commissioner Wojt moved to issue a mitigated determination of non-significance and lead agency status as recommended on the Michael Matthews Shoreline Permit. Chairman Dennison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Hearing Notice re: Proposed Omnibus Ordinance: Commissioner Wojt moved to approve the hearing notice setting the public hearing on the proposed Omnibus Ordinance for May 6, 1991 at 2:00 p.m. Chairman Dennison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. . ~()l 1 7 fAt;.£ 00 35li Commissioners' Meeting Agenda: Week of April 22, 1991 Page: 7 Notice of Appeal to State Shorelines Hearings Board: Shoreline Permit Denial SDP89-o013.12: Mooring Buoy. Mystery Bay. Thomas Westlake. Applicant: Jim Pearson reported that 12 mooring buoy permits were reviewed and issued for sites in Mystery Bay at the same time. Thomas Westlake's buoy was denied as part of this process because it was for transient moorage and there was transient moorage available within 100 yards of the site of his mooring buoy. The Board concurred that this matter be taken to the Shoreline Hearings Board as a denial. JUVENILE AND FAMILY COURT SERVICES Juvenile and Family Court Services Director. Lois Smith and Superior Court Judge William Howard re: Reauest for Additional Staff and Space Needs: Juvenile Court Services Director Lois Smith stated that her request to use a portion of the Commissioners Chambers for office space is a serious one. Chairman Dennison noted that the Chambers are the only space in the Commissioners office that the Board members can meet with constituents or Department Heads, because the office is so small. Lois Smith added that the alternative to using this space is to use the Public Works Conference Room. Chairman Dennison advised that the Public Works Conference Room is also used on a regular basis. Lois Smith added that she needs space for newly hired staff within two weeks. Chairman Dennison asked what the time line is for the remodel of the third floor spaces? .She reported that it would be at least six months for that space to be completely remodeled. Commis- sioner Wojt advised that Facilities Management staff should be consulted on the space needs for the interim as well as for the long term. Lois Smith stated that she is working with Facilities Management on her long range needs, but they have told her to go to the Board about their short term space needs. Judge Howard stated that it is hard to get a specific answer on space from the Facilities Management staff. The Board advised that they will be meeting with the management staff of the Public Works Department tomorrow and they will discuss this matter with them. Bart Phillips. Economic Development Council re:. Letter of Support for Grant for the Peninsula Development Association: Commissioner Wojt moved to approve and sign a letter of support for the PDA grant application to the Economic Development Administration. Chairman Dennison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. After the Board interviewed persons interested in serving on the 03A Advisory Board and the CMI Service Commission, they met in Executive Session with Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Mark Huth regarding potential litigation. That was followed by an Executive Session to discuss the qualifications of the applicants interviewed for the position of Director of Community Services. HEARING re: Adoption, of the Hazardous Waste Management Plan: Six interested people were present when Chairman Dennison introduced Jeff Frettingham, Solid Waste Specialist for the Public Works Department, who reviewed the proposed Hazardous Waste Management Plan. Jeff Frettingham introduced Peggy Britt of the State Department of Ecology, Paul Running, Consultant, and Ken Radon, member of the Solid Waste Advisory Committee. He explained that this plan is for managing small quantities of hazardous wastes. Hazardous wastes include products found in the home under the sink and chemicals used on home gardens. There are also small quantity generators of hazardous wastes in the county. Moderate risk wastes, which are controlled by the County, are defined as those hazardous wastes that are used or stored in quantities less than 220 pounds per month. This draft plan was prepared by the consulting company,' Paul S. Running and As~ociates and the Solid Waste Advisory Committee. The plan outlines options for disposal of these wastes and the costs associated with the disposal. The goals of the plan include: VGl 1 7 r~ 00.. 355 Commissioners' Meeting Agenda: Week of April 22, 1991 Page: 8 Educating residents and businesses about the use and disposal of hazardous wastes. Developing an awareness of alternatives to consumer products containing hazardous substances. Providing a means of disposing of exempt quantities of hazardous wastes separately from solid waste and wastewater. Assigning responsibility for managing moderate risk waste to waste generators. It is estimated that in four years there will be approximately 17,300 gallons per year of these wastes in the County for disposal. There have been Household Hazardous Waste Collection days in the County for the past few years. The recommendation in the plan is to have a household hazardous waste collection day every quarter as a way to educate people in the disposal of these wastes. The ultimate goal is to have a hazardous waste collection facility in the County. The plan recommends funding of household hazardous waste disposal through an increase in the tipping fee at the landfill. A user fee is suggested to fund the disposal of wastes produced by small quantity generators. Paul Running explained that the emphasis in this plan is on the waste generator being responsible for the proper management of these wastes. The State has legislation pending to provide funding for implementation of this plan. Albert McKinney asked if the County had considered disposing, of these waste by pyrolysis? Paul Running noted that pyrolysis (heating the waste in the absence of oxygen) is one method of disposing of hazardous waste. This plan will not prohibit this. Mr. McKinney then asked about the costs referred to in the plan. Table 2-2 indicates the five year costs for the plan for disposal of wastes generated by small quantity generators as $125,800. Mr. McKinney stated that the costs are over that figure now. He added that used oil is a hazardous waste (the plan says it isn't) and that as of the 5th of this month landfills are not to accept used oil any longer. Peggy Britt stated that the Department of Ecology has decided not to regulate used oil filters until further notice, because they don't have a way to dispose of them. Mr. McKinney stated that Bill Conrad of Conrad Industries in Centrailia Washington can dispose of used oil filters. He uses pyrolysis to treat many types of hazardous wastes, including tires and used oil filters. Bob Harper: Bob Harper asked how waste oil is dealt with in the plan? Jeff Frettingham stated that as far as Jefferson County is concerned used oil is considered a hazardous waste. He noted that Harper Oil is performing a service by accepting used oil from the public. The Port of Port Townsend has several facilities set up to accept used oil under certain conditions. If a recycling company has a contract to pickup used oil, they test it and if it is contaminated they won't accept it. It then becomes a hazardous waste which is expensive to dispose of. The Public Works Department would like to have facilities to accept used oil, but they are not in place yet. Bob Harper stated in the period of time they have been collecting used oil they have had no problem with contamination of the oil, and the recycling company has accepted it. The problem is that the oil is currently stored in an underground tank which is now a problem because of insurance. Albert McKinney: Albert McKinney asked how strictly the DOE is going to enforce the regulations on transport of hazardous materials for homeowners and small quantity generators? Peggy Britt answered that homeowner waste can be transported legally by the homeowner. Small businesses that generate less than 220 pounds per month can transport their waste to a disposal facility also. Jeff Frettingham clarified that amounts less than 220 pounds (about half of a 55 gallon drum) per month is regulated by the County. Generating or storing more than that is regulated by the State. Jim Hathaway asked if a household generator with a 55 gallon drum of wastes is exempt if it weighs more than 220 pounds? Peggy Britt stated that a household generator is exempt. Albert McKinnev asked how the County will dispose of the oil once it's collected? Bob Harper explained that Harper Oil and the Port of Port Townsend have collection facilities and " 'ì' , \, '. 1 7 rAtÆOO '356 ~ ~;.m=.J.)}_~' ._, ~I- ¡¡..;' · . Commissioners' Meeting Agenda: Week of April 22, 1991 Page: 9 a recycling company that picks up the oil. They do not charge any fee for this service right now. Bob Harper asked if there is anything in this plan to cover contaminated soil? Jeff Frettingham stated that this plan does not cover that because it only covers hazardous wastes. Jim Hathaway asked what type of facility is going to be built for hazardous waste collection and how much it will cost? Jeff Frettingham stated that there is not a design prepared for the facility right now, but it is known it will be a storage fàcility which will be constructed to contain a spill if one should occur. The wastes would be stored until a recycling company can pick it up or arrangements can be made to haul it to a disposal site. Peggy Britt stated that such a storage facility would be exempt from the storage limits. Jim Hathaway stated that he manages a shipping and storage facility for hazardous waste. Funding for such a facility should come from the State and Federal government. The funding should be arranged, before consideration is given to building a facility. Chairman Dennison stated that the staff ' has been on top of applying for any grant funds that have been available for this work. Usually funds are more readily available for planning than for actual plan implementation. Jim Hathaway asked if the County has any information available regarding the grant money that will be available for implementation of this plan? Jeff Frettingham reported hat there is grant funding available for implementation, collection days and education in the amount of $65,000.00, with a 25% match from the County. It costs about $25,000 to hold a household hazardous waste collection day in the County. Grant funds will be pursued wherever possible, but the program will have to go on whether grant funds are available or not. Jim Hathaway suggested that the military facilities in the area be contacted for assistance. Chairman Dennison then opened the hearing for public comment. Casey McKinnev: He asked Peggy Britt of the DOE if it is illegal for a small quantity generator to transport a 100 pounds of a hazardous waste? Peggy Britt answered that if, as a small business, he is generating less than 220 pounds per month, he would be exempt from the transportation requirements. Casey McKinney then asked about distilling acetone and how the weight of the waste is determined? Peggy Britt stated that she would refer his question to DOE technical staff. Mr. McKinney added that he would like this County to deal with its own waste within the County's borders. Ken Radon. Solid Waste AdvisorvCommittee, reported that developing this plan was a lengthy process. Industries in the County that generate hazardous wastes were contacted for their input. The financial burden of the plan is almost overwhelming. The cost of the small collection station is really unknown. The costs were based on the few small collection facilities that are in operation right now. Albert McKinney urged that the County look into waste reduction facilities for disposing of their hazardous wastes. Chairman Dennison questioned the statement on page 7 of the Plan (next to the last paragraph) which states that agriculture is one of the fastest growing industry groups (6% per year) in the County. Paul Running will check this out with the Jefferson County Economic Development Council. Hearing no further comments the Chairman closed the hearing. Commissioner Wojt moved to adopt the Hazardous Waste Management Plan as presented (dated April 19, 1991). Chairman Dennison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
