The Point Whitney Road was re-aligned and these portions are no longer used. She then reviewed the testimony, agency responses and Public Works recommendation and suggested conditions for this vacation. Chairman Dennison asked if the proposed conditions of approval would provide all the adjacent property owners access to their property? The staff indicated that they would. Chairman Dennison then opened the public hearing for comments for or against this proposed vacation. Cedric Undsey, 11 Point Whitney Road: Cedric Undsey asked if the County would obtain the easements being required? Gary Rowe reported that by the Board's approval of the vacation, the County retains the easement. Mr. Undsey stated that this would take care of his concerns. Georae Dunham: George Dunham asked if the County would take care of this road, if the right-of-way is vacated? Gary Rowe indicated the County would not maintain this road. Mr. Dunham added that the Postal carrier now uses this old road. Gary Rowe added that the Postal Service may require that the mail boxes be moved onto the new road. The discussion turned to the possibility of the vacated right-of-way being blocked off by a property owner. Commissioner Brown stated that the promises made to the property owners when the new right-of-way was purchased, have to be honored. Mr. Dunham stated that the right-of-way in the old alignment is only about 900 feet long and he feels it should be left as a County road because it provides access to several of the properties in this area. Cressie Dunham:Cressie Dunham stated that two families live in this area on a permanent basis. Gertrude Scruggs added that are three mail boxes on this portion of the road. Gary Rowe explained that the right-of-way can be left open as a transportation easement, but the postal service will not deliver mail on a private road, so the mail boxes will have to be moved. Mrs. Scruggs asked if the property owners have to maintain the right-of-way if the County doesn't? Commissioner Brown stated that,the vacated right-of-way would have to be maintained by the property owners. Dale Joraensen, United Telephone: Dale Jorgensen stated that there is probably an existing telephone line on this right-of-way, but he hasn't had a chance to look at the site. As long as there is a utility easement, United Telephone would have no problem with vacation of the right-of-way. Hearing no further comments for or against the proposed vacation, Chairman Dennison closed the public hearing. Commissioner Brown moved to table this vacation until Tuesday May 28, 1991 at 10:30 a.m. to allow the Public Works Department time to research the deeds for the property that was purchased for the new right-of-way to make sure that all of the provisions of those deeds have been addressed. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. l VOL 1',7" n¡' I rAG~ l'il) ~. >11' ",~ 1'\i r: ,- " ^~r,X¡.J Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of May 20, 1991 Page: 3 BID OPENING re: One (1) New Hydraulic Drop Front Lowboy Trailer: Public Works Director Gary Rowe opened and read the bids received for one, new hydraulic drop front loWboy trailer as follows: BIDDERS: BID TOTALS: a) Fray Equipment Company, Inc.

PLANNING AND BUILDING HEARING re: Proposed Open Space Ordinance: Ten interested County residents were present when Associate Planner Eric Toews reported that this draft ordinance is to provide the Assessor's Office with guidance for giving tax reduction incentives per RCW 84.34 (The Open Space Taxation Act). A public benefit rating system is proposed. It is hoped that this program will give property owners incentive to preserve desireable lands such as farmland, timberlands and other open spaces. Eric Toews reported that the County is allowed by RCW to charge a reasonable application fee for these programs. The public benefit rating system has been tried and has succeeded in a number of local jurisdictions in Western Washington. This ordinance is modeled after one used in Thurston County. Commissioner Brown asked if the way that agricultural lands and timberlands are handled would be changed by this ordinance? Eric Toews reported that no changes have been made to these classifications. The rating system will only apply to applications for the Open Space - Open space designation. Commissioner Brown noted for the record that he has property that is designated as Open Space - Agriculture. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Mark Huth asked if parcels already in these classifications would be subject to this new rating system. Eric Toews stated that currently enrolled parcels will be re-evaluated under this system, but no property currently in the program will be taken out. The amount of tax reduction will be computed for IIgrandfatheredll parcels. Uston Bascomb: Uston Bascomb stated that the tax break given by these programs is made up by all of the rest of the property owners in the County. If property is taken out of this program the property owner must pay penalties and the portion of taxes that were not paid previously, doesn't that mean the tax is being paid twice? Does a property have to stay in the classification for a 1 0 year period? Assessor Jack Westerman explained that if a property owner notifies the County three years prior to taking a property out of the program, the property owner will only have to pay the difference between the taxes he actually paid and the taxes that were due for the years the property was in the program to a maximum of seven years. There would be no interest or penalty charged if that notification is made. The property is taxed at the tax rate that was applicable in each year. Mark Huth reiterated that when a property owner doesn't pay their full tax amount because their land is in one of these programs, the rest of the County taxpayers make up for the difference. When the property is taken out of the program the property owner then must compensate the taxpayers of the County for this tax break. Dennis Bale: Dennis Bale reported that three year notification for removing property from the program was changed to two years in 1987. Jack Westerman indicated that Mr. Bale was right the time' had been changed to two years. He added that the RCW would be checked when a withdrawal application is received to make sure that the requirements are met. Roaer Short: Roger Short reported that his attorney reviewed this draft ordinance and stated that since the draft doesn't indicate what changes have been made to it, he feels it should :.\JOl l"'{"J fA'~ On 4£.19 , 't4;u: ~_~lfo~ ;~;~.W~ Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of May 20, 1991 Page: 5 be thrown out. Mr. Short added that he understands that there have been no changes to the Agriculture and Timberland requirement, but he knows there have been changes made for water quality. Eric Toews stated that when he referred to a "draft" ordinance, he just meant that it was a document that had never been formally adopted by the County. Jack Westerman reported that the County has been working under RCW (Revised Code of Washington) and WAC (Washington Administrative Code) to date. Roger Short added that if this document hasn't been reviewed before it should be noted on the document. Chairman Dennison agreed that it should be noted on the document that it is a newly proposed ordinance. Dennis Bale: Dennis Bale read from the RCW that discusses the establishment of an Advisory Committee by the Board to assist the Assessor in determining assessments. Jack Westerman reported that there is currently a committee established, as required in the RCW, for reviewing Open Space - Agriculture applications and reviewing the assessments for these applications. Greg Knowles: Greg Knowles asked why the lIincorporatedll areas of Jefferson County, are not included in this ordinance? Eric Toews stated that the County has no authority inside the City limits. John Boulton: John Boulton asked if the 20 acre minimum for applying for the Open Space Timber designation has been changed? Jack Westerman reported that five acres can be put into the Open Space - Timber designation. The Planning Department administers these applications and there is a requirement that a Forest Management Plan be submitted. Merle Meachum: Merle Meachum submitted and read comments on this proposed ordinance. Grea Knowles: Greg Knowles said that it appears to him that one of the things that this ordinance tries to do is to encourage the private property owner to invest in the Open Space program for the benefit of the public. If a property owner who is going through the process could see that their property may not qualify for the program, they could transfer development rights to help qualify for the program. Mr. Knowles stated that he was not happy to see this type of leverage in the program. The benefit to the property owner may be deferred taxes, but land which is saleable would be encumbered for 10 years. Mr. Knowles added that he would not give development rights to anyone for free and he doesn't feel that deferred taxes would encourage him to join the program. He would like to see this part of the program de-emphasized. Merle Meacham: Merle Meacham added that there are some people who would be willing to give development rights in perpetuity. The six points allowed for this are minimal. Grea Knowles: Mr. Knowles added that re-evaluating the properties that are currently in the program is good. He asked that a provision be added that property owners be allowed to get out of the program when it is re-evaluated, without penalty. Eric Toews reported that there will be an opportunity for "grandfatheredll properties to opt out of the program when their assessment is re-evaluated. Assessor Jack Westerman agreed that a window period should be allowed for grandfathered properties to opt out when they are re-evaluated. Other Counties have allowed these properties to come out of the program with no interest, penalty and in some cases, no compensating tax due. Mr. Knowles stated that he would like to see this added to the ordinance. Roaer Short: After clarifying that there is an Open Space Advisory Board that makes recommendations to the Assessor for assessment of Open Space - Agriculture properties, Roger Short asked if the timberland open space classification is allowed for parcels which include property within 200 feet of the shoreline? Jack Westerman reported that the current Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan includes a provision for Open Space. This provision precludes property located within 200, feet of abutting saltwater from being placed in' the classification of Open Space - Timber. John Boulton stated that the Conservation District has been working on this issue and they feel that this is an unfair situation. For a variety of reasons it would behove the County to allow timberland within' 200 feet of the shoreline in the designation where the timber adjacent is also designated as timberland. The property owner doesn't have any reason to keep this VOL '1 ~c~1 nn , f ~r)~ U1.. _,' lS~n _ ~U'U Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of May 20, 1991 Page: 6 property in Open Space - Timber when he has to pay highest and best use assessment on it. This has hastened to some extent the demise of timberland along the waterfront. It also places more pressure on shellfish beds adjacent to those timberlands. Chairman Dennison stated that this issue has been discussed, and there is a question, given the value of a front foot of waterfront today, whether there is any incentive to keep these properties in the Open Space - Timber designation. Perhaps the best protection would be to classify it as Open Space -Open Space (this is allowed by the proposed Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan), which would give the property owner a bigger tax break in some cases. This is a complicated issue and there are some legal questions surrounding it. Eric Toews noted that the proposed ordinance allows an extra three points (page 21, Subsection B, Buffers within Open Space-Open Space) for buffers along the marine shoreline. The discussion continued regarding the reduction in taxes and how it is figured on these properties. Jack Westerman explained that in Jefferson County, if a property owner wants a parcel which includes waterfront in designated or classified timber, the acreage is computed along the waterfront (the number of feet of waterfront ina strip 200 feet deep) and that amount is subtracted from the total acreage in the parcel. The rest of the parcel is placed in the requested designation. The value of the 200 foot wide parcel is reduced because of the lack of depth. Marian Meacham added that the State Shoreline Management Act does say that in evaluating proposals for development, you presumably have control over what is going on upland of the shoreline. To what depth, and over what type of development you have control, has not been spelled out. This is an interlock with what is being done now and what is being proposed in this Ordinance. Merle Meacham: Merle Meacham asked that the difference between Timberland and Designated Forest land be explained. Jack Westerman stated there are two classifications of forest land under the Forest Land Act: Designated and Classified. Classified Forest land Oaw passed about 1972) was determined by the Assessor after the law was passed. These were lands where the highest and best use was determined to be the commercial growth and harvest of timber. Notices were sent to all property owners and if they agreed, their property was placed in that classification. Designated Forest lands means that there is a higher and better use for the land other than the commercial growth and harvest of timber, and the property owner designates that he will only use the land for timber production. To be considered for either of these classifications the property must be a 20 acre or larger parcel. Open Space Timber (Open Space Act)' has a minimum acreage requirement of five acres. The Open Space ~ Open Space designation has no minimum acreage requirement. Jack Westerman urged those present not to presume that these property tax programs will prevent the loss of natural resource base lands, by themselves. Dennis Bale: Dennis Bale noted that Part 1, Section II E. (page 4) states "When classified land is sold, the seller or transferror becomes liable at the time of sale for the additional tax, interest and penalty . . ." He added that in RCW 84.34 it states ''that land qualifying for current use taxation is sold or transferred the new owner has 60 days to file compliance forms detailing his awareness of the use classification and the potential tax liability as- sociated with it. . . ." Jack Westerman stated that the County Treasurer is precluded from acting on an Excise Tax Affidavit for property that is in the classified, designated or Open Space designation. She cannot receive monies for that sale until one of two things are in existence: 1) the compensating tax is attached or 2) the Notice of Continuance is signed. The County Auditor is precluded by law from recording under the same conditions. Grea Knowles: Greg Knowles stated that there is nothing wrong with the purpose and intent of this legislation. He just feels that it is becoming very còmplicated for the property owner. Hearing no further comments for or against the proposed ordinance, the Chairman closed the hearing. Commissioner Brown moved to table this proposed ordinance until such time as the public comments can be reviewed and changes considered and/or made to the document. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.

Five Acre Tracts: 1/2 Mile East of Dabob Bay on the Toandos Peninsula; Morgan Bryant (Tabled May 6. 1991): Associate Planner Jerry Smith reported that a copy of the Forest Practice permit and a conversion harvest plan has been submitted as requested at the May 6t 1991 meeting. The Forest Practices permit indicates that the owner at the time of the permit was obtained did not intend to convert the land. Chairman Dennison asked if the compensating tax has been paid on this? Morgan Bryant indicated that it has been paid. Chairman Dennison asked about the areas denoted as wetlands on the map? Jerry Smith reported that these areas are identified on the federal inventory of .wetlands. A mitigative measure has been suggested to address the protection of these wetland areas which requires: 1) that the wetlands and the buffer around them are identified on the final plat map, 2) restrictions will be placed on the face of the plat, and 3) protective restrictive covenants will further clarify that there are wetlands that are being protected. Commissioner Brown moved to bring the SEPA threshold determination for the Morgan Bryant Olympic Vista Large Lot Subdivision off the table for consideration. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Jerry Smith reported that the Planning Department recommendation is to issue a mitigated determination of non-significance. If the County is trying to keep the areas of forest production together, Commissioner Wojt stated that this proposal would break that up on the Coyle Peninsula. Jerry Smith responded that this subdivision may very well contribute to breaking up that part of the peninsula as far as forest production but the Subdivision Ordinance as well as the Coyle Community Plan anticipate low density residential use in forest production areas. Commissioner Brown moved to issue a mitigated determination of non-significance and lead agency status with the three mitigative measures as recommended. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion for discussion. Chairman Dennison asked if the drainage impacts of this proposal have been reviewed. Jerry Smith reported that the Public Works Department will review the impacts of drainage as part of the review of this large lot subdivision. Chairman Dennison added that their review would not take into account the impact of total build out if each of these lots were subdivided again in five years into 2 1/2 acre lots. Commissioner Brown asked if there is a way, in the SEPA process, that the County can ask for information on impacts that may be caused by activities beyond the scope of this specific project? Mark Huth stated that the Board can ask for more information before a determina- tion of non-significance is issued or approve the mitigated DNS contingent on a study being submitted and then mitigate any impacts that are identified in the study. Jerry Smith reported that the Public Works Department is recommending that a drainage plan be submitted as part of the plat review. Chairman Dennison reiterated that this plan would be done for 16 lots, not for the possible maximum build out. Morgan Bryant stated that theoretically the property could be subdivided even further in the Mure. He added he can not possibly address all of the contingencies that could happen in the future. Mark Huth stated that the Board can request that a drainage baseline study be provided. Commissioner Brown amended his motion to issue a mitigated DNS with an additional mitigating measure that an analysis of the drainage be submitted, and any impacts identified therein be noted on the face of the survey map and a drainage plan for the project be approved by the Public Works Department. The Chairman called for a vote on the motion. The motion carried by a unanimous vote. State Environmental Policy Act Review and Threshold Determination: Water $Ystem to Provide Water for Approximately 150 Connections: Woodland Hills: Eagle ' Eye Inc.. W.E. Seton. Applicant (Tabled on May 6. 1991): Jerry Smith reported that the Board asked for additional information on traffic and stormwater runoff impacts from this ~ VOL 1 '7fAr~ on , ,J I).. t~ijL1 AI,. f";? ' ~-..J~ Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of May 20, 1991 Page: 8 project. This information has been provided in a report prepared by Northwestern Territories, Inc. Bart Irwin, Attorney representing Eagle Eye, Inc., stated that there are restrictive covenants on the property which require that each lot owner take care of any water runoff on their property. Gene Seton advised that Michael Anderson, Engineer for. Northwestern Territories, Inc. is present to answer questions on the information submitted. He explained that this information projects the impact if the Woodland Hills and Marvin Gardens developments are ever built out to their maximum levels. Commissioner Wojt moved to take the matter off the table for consideration. Commissioner Brown seconded the motion. The motion carried by a unanimous vote. After reviewing the information requested, Commissioner Brown moved to determine that this project is categorically exempt from SEPAreview. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Certificate of Compliance and Conditional Use for the Conversion of an existing Barn as a Bicycle Hostel: Located ad,acent to Gardiner Beach Road in Gardiner: William and Patricia Goldfoos. Applicants (Tabled May 13. 1991): Commis- sioner Wojt moved to bring this matter off the table for discussion. Commissioner Brown seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Jerry Smith presented the written findings and conclusions from the Planning Commission. Mark Huth stated that Irwin Jones, Attorney, has submitted a letter to the Board just now (4:00 p.m.) stating that the Planning Commission actions should be invalidated because Tom Berg (a Planning Commission member) had some interest which should have been disclosed prior to the Planning Commission consideration of the Goldfoos Conditional Use Application. This information has not been presented to the Planning Commission or the Board before. Mr. Jones claims that the information is from a newspaper article (Sequim Gazette) dated April 24 (no date on the article). The article contains a quote which mayor may not be what Mr. Berg stated. The Planning Commission had a hearing on this application on May 1, 1991. Mark Huth reported that the Board can refer this matter back to the Planning Commission or hold their own public hearing. Commissioner Wojt asked how this quote would color the Planning Commission findings on this request? Mark Huth stated that it is not appropriate for the Board to discuss this without Mr. Berg present because the quote may have been taken out of context. Commissioner Brown stated that Mr. Berg's letter to the Board regarding Mr. Jones accusations prior to this latest letter addressed all of the points Mr. Jones brought up. Commissioner Wojt asked for clarification of what the IIAppearance of Fairness Doctrinell requires? Mark Huth answered that it means that Planning Commission members have no bias about the applicant or the project before consideration of the project. The crucial question in "appearance of fairness" is if a disinterested party sitting in the audience, knowing the interest that a decision maker holds (any number of things that could impinge on their decision), feels that the applicant got a fair hearing. Commissioner Brown moved that the Board hold their own hearing on this project on June 17, 1991 at 7:00 p.m. contingent on the Gardiner Community Center being available. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Trish Warner asked if the information submitted at the previous meeting must be re- submitted. The Board advised that this would be a new hearing and the information would have to be re-submitted. Hearing Notice: Ap~licatlon for Plat Vacation: Garten View Short Plat: Robert Garten. Applicant: Commissioner Brown moved to set the public hearing for the application for plat amendment submitted by Robert Garten for 2:30 p.m. on June 3, 1991. Commis- sioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. VOL 17 f~r,~ 00 45:3r' Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of May 20, 1991 Page: 9 Shoreline Permit SDP91-OO04: To Construct a Commercial Boat Storage Building: Brinnon: Michael Matthews: This project proposed by Mike Matthews is to construct a commercial boat storage building in the commercial area of Brinnon, Associate Planner, Jim Pearson reported. The project is also located within the 100 year flood plain. The Shoreline Commission has reviewed this project and recommends approval with the conditions as proposed. Commissioner Brown moved to approve Shoreline Permit #SDP91-0004 with the conditions as recommended by the Shoreline Commission. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Policy Direction on Post Growth Management Forum Public Involvement: Senior Planner Craig Ward reported that the Department has had public input after each of the Growth Management forums held thus far, which indicates that the participants want to continue to meet. He explained that if these groups want to continue to meet, the staff does not object, unless these groups expect: 1) official sanction, or 2) to receive staff support or facilitation. Craig Ward then reviewed four options for the Board to consider: 1) Have the Planning Commission draft interim policies with the help of these groups. 2) Specialized interim groups meet to develop and recommend policies and draft ordinance by December deadline. 3) Two groups (Resource Lands and Critical Areas) meet weekly to develop interim recommendations by July 15 and make recommendations for long term solutions. 4) The staff draft interim policies based on forum input and draft ordinances. Another suggestion was made by Planning and Building Department Director, David Goldsmith, which is to split the Planning Commission into two groups, Craig Ward reported. Each group could meet with an' interested group from the forum in an open meeting to work on drafting policies and recommendations. Craig Ward then reviewed some ground rules for these post forum work groups. After discussion of each of the options presented, it was a consensus of the Board to have the Planning Commission hold a series of open, public workshops, after the Board reviews the information from the forums and sets the parameters for these workshops. , , " JEFFERSON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MEETING ADJOURNED ,: '\,:1 ~"""""'''~;''''-,''i",.., Xi'!;" ~ ~'" ''',/, 81:: ^,!;i" fIJ),,' ~'. ft' '; ,. 1'/;" ~. tI,~~ '.
