They met with Community Services Director David Goldsmith to review pending items. ~l\JJ~UIM~®® rF!R1@[MJ ©@l\JJlMlfW [Þ)~~ffi\lR1m~lMìi~~ COMMUNITY SERVICES Polley For Use of McCurdy Pavilion for Days Allocated to Jefferson County Pursuant To Interagency Leasehold Agreement. Dated December 18. 1989: Com- munity Services Director David Goldsmith submitted and reviewed a draft policy for the use of the McCurdy Pavilion on the days allocated to Jefferson County. He reported that sanctioning another group to use the County's allocated days, is not the same as a County sponsored event. Commissioner Brown stated that the County's policy should be basically the same as the City's policy, since both entities contributed to the project in the same manner. David Goldsmith will rework the draft and bring it back to the Board at a later date. Commissioner Wojt moved to allow the Jefferson County Land Trust to use one of the County's days for their event scheduled for September 7, 1991. Commissioner Brown seconded the motion. The motion carried by a unanimous vote. PUBLIC WORKS Notice of Hearing: Changing The Name of A Certain Private Road on the Official County Private Road Log: Sherwood Forest to Wlndrldge Road: Commis- sioner Wojt moved to set the public hearing for September 16, 1991 at 10:30 a.m. on the proposed name change for the private road known as Sherwood Forest Road to Wind- ridge Road. Commissioner Brown seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Discussion of Claim for Damages #C-02-91: Theft of Personal Property .$130.00: Kellie Ragan: Commissioner Brown moved that payment be made to Kellie Ragan in the amount of $130.00 as approved on August 5, 1991 and to establish a policy that employees must register personal property with their Department Supervisor with information on the make, model, year, etc. of the item before it can be used by the County or the employee in a County program. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. ",'I 1_,' rA~ r 00 1063: Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of September 3, 1991 Page: 2 Request for Variance: From Road Construction Standards for a Short Subdivision: Hilda Street. East of Rhody Drive: Randy Hathaway. Applicant: Associate Planner Jerry Smith reported that this variance request is from the standards for a short subdivision of property located east of Rhody Drive on Hilda Street. The first 390 feet of Hilda Street, which is a gravel road 12 feet in width, is within a 55 foot platted right-of-way (Olson's Addition) and the remaining 528 feet has been established as a usage road. The requirements are that 60 feet of right-of-way and turnaround be provided to the short plat. Mr. Hathaway is asking for a variance from this standard to allow a 55 foot right-of-way and a road the same width as the platted road, with no turn around. The Planning Commission reviewed this request, Jerry Smith continued, and found that it is not likely that Hilda Street will ever be developed into a through street due to Chima- cum Creek. An unusual circumstance exists because the platted street ends at the west boundary of the property, and there is no other reasonable way to subdivide the property. Jerry Smith reported that five feet of the platted Hilda Street right-of-way was vacated in the past. The Planning Commission recommends the variance be approved subject to four conditions: 1. The applicant deed right-of-way to the County beginning at the west boundary of their parcel, where the south line of the existing platted right-of-way ends and continuing east to the east boundary of the parcel. 2. The minimum deeded right-of-way shall be thirty (30) feet. 3. The applicant shall improve Hilda Street to meet the minimum standards of the Uniform Fire Code. 4. Prior to final plat approval, the Jefferson County Public Works Department shall verify in writing that Hilda Street has been improved to meet the Uniform Fire Code standards. Randy Hathaway reported that there are houses on each of the two lots that are being created. Commissioner Brown moved to accept the findings of fact as presented by the Planning Commission and to approve the variance with the conditions as proposed. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. State Environmental Polley Act Review and Threshold Determination: and Certificate of Compliance: Construct a Mini-Storage in Port Hadlock: George Forker: The applicant on this proposal to construct the second building of a mini-storage complex, is George Forker, Jerry Smith reported. He then reviewed the environmental checklist on this project. The project is located at the intersection of Rhody Drive and Irondale Road. A DNS was issued on the first building in June 1990. Jerry Smith then reviewed comments received from the Public Works and Planning Department. The Public Works Department has recommended: a) That the left-turn holding lane on Rhody Drive may need to be extended to the north to accommodate the increased traffic resulting from the project. b) That the cost of extending the left-turn holding lane be the responsibility of the project proponent. c) That a traffic impact plan with mitigative measures for the· overall IIRhody Drive Commercial Centerll be developed by the proponent. The Planning Department has identified the following as potential significant adverse environmental impacts: · Impacts to ground water due to direct disposal of runoff water into the site soils. · Water runoff impacts from these two building including the potential cumulative impacts resulting from total build-out of the project. · Environmental health impacts from accidental spills and/or dumping of hazardous substances stored in the rental compartments. · Impacts to the adjacent residentially designated area, as a dissimilar use. · Transportation impacts to Rhody Drive resulting from turning movements, including cumulative transportation impacts resulting from the total project. Commissioner Brown asked what part of the total project is being considered now? George Forker explained that the total project is larger than what is being reviewed today, but he is only going to build the next building. He stated that the property does not drain ';(1'- 1 7 rArk 00 1063. .' , Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of September 3, 1991 Page: 3 into the creek, because this property is lower than any of the property surrounding it, and because of the distance from the creek. The discussion turned to the storm water runoff and how it will be impacted by this project and the total project build out and how that will impact the area. Mr. Forker added that the dry wells on his property have an oil separator in them to take care of the storm water runoff. Commissioner Brown stated that he feels that the impacts of the one building being proposed are all that should be dealt with at this time. Possible'mitigation for this project was then discussed including a detailed drainage plan for the site. Commissioner Wojt moved to issue a mitigated determination of non-significance for this proposed mini-storage building and that the Planning Department staff develop mitigation to address storm water runoff. Commissioner Brown seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Final Blndlna Site Plan: 30 Acres and 186 Units for Recreational Vehicles on Anderson Lake Road in Chimacum: Everareen Coho Escapee Retreat Camper Club (See also Auaust 19. 1991 Minutes): Planning Director Craig Ward reported that the Planning Commission record has been reviewed and a copy of what was found in that review has been provided to the Board. There were very few comments regarding the rental plans for the park. Dr. Jack Harper then presented a letter from the President of the Escapee Club which explains the membership requirements. Commissioner Brown reported that he had an ex- parte meeting with Dr. Harper last Friday and this project was discussed. Dr. Harper then presented a picture of a sign at the gate of the park which says "Members Only." Commissioner Brown mòved that since all of the conditions of the preliminary site plan have been met, that the final binding site plan be approved. Commissioner Wojt second- ed the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Review of Comments on Determination of Non-Sianificance: Proposal to Increase Stream Flows in Leland Creek by Removlna Veaetation and Beaver Dams: Leland Creek Downstream from Lake Leland: Jefferson County Conservation District: Associate Planner Jim Pearson reviewed the letter from the State Department of Ecology which was the only comment received. He reported that the Conservation District has applied for a Shoreline Permit exemption and that the Shoreline Permit application will review all of the items noted in the first section of the DOE letter. Jim Pearson reported that AI Latham of the Conservation District has responded to the DOE comments. He noted that the mitigation suggested by the DOE are a part of the Conservation District's plan. Commissioner Wojt moved to re-affirm the determination of non-significance as issued. Commissioner Brown seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. State Environmental Policy Act Review and Threshold Determination: Con- struction of a 180 foot Pile and Plank Bulkhead: For Private and Recreational Use: Bridaehaven: Ja William Dederer and LaRa Elviaan: This project is on the inside channel at Bridgehaven, Jim Pearson reported and is to construct 180 feet of pile and plank bulkhead in alignment with existing adjacent bulkheads and construction two docks and piers for private, recreational use on three lots (Lots 13-15, Division 2). Approximate- ly 330 cubic yards of backfill will be placed. On October 23, 1989 a Determination of Non-Significance was issued to Glen Vorwerk (SDP89-o018) on Lot 11 Division 4 of Bridgehaven which is similar to this project. Jim Pearson recommended that the Board adopt the DNS issued on the Vorwerk project as allowed per WAC 197.11.600 and 197.11.630. Commissioner Brown moved to adopt the DNS issued on the Glen Vorwerk proposal for this project. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion. After discussion of crossing the threshold which would trigger review of 'i¡ji_ 17 rA(t~ 00 .11 .0'64 ·. . . Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of September 3, 1991 Page: 4 cummulative impacts, Commissioner Brown called for a vote on the motion. The motion carried by a unanimous vote. Discussion and Schedulina for Proposed Chanaes to The Jefferson-Port Townsend Shoreline Master Proaram Plan: Ocean Uses: Jim Pearson reviewed recommended changes in the Shoreline Management Master Program for ocean uses. He reported that the Shoreline Commission has reviewed these changes and recommends that they be adopted by the Board. Jim Pearson will work with the Clerk of the Board to set a time and date for the SEPA review on these changes. Discussion of Scopina: Determination of Sianificance: Larae Lot Sub- division and Class IV General Forest Practices Permit: Captain Vancouver Estates: Haines Street Trust. Tom Beavers. Trustee: Craig Ward and Prosecuting Attorney Mark Huth came before the Board to discuss the scoping process for the Environmental Impact Statement required for the Captain Vancouver Estates large lot subdivision. The Washington Administrative Code which addresses scoping was then reviewed and discussed. Mark Huth reported that the Determination of Significance signed by the Board says that the expanded scoping process will be used. Chairman Dennison noted that this meeting will be considered the consultation with the applicant as required by the WAC. Chuck Henry, Attorney for applicant, asked what impacts are to be scoped? He noted that the issues that the Commissioners identified at the appeal hearing were the possible impacts due to the unique forest on the site and the impact to wildlife. Mr. Henry stated that the Determination of Significance contains issues that go beyond what was discussed at the appeal hearing and the issues need to be narrowed at this time. Mark Huth reported that once the MDNS was withdrawn, it no longer exists and was replaced with a determination of significance. Chuck Henry stated that he doesn't agree with that interpretation. The EIS scoping is not to open up and address items that the Commissioners had mitigated previously and were satisfied had been addressed. Mark Huth reiterated that all of the issues must be addressed again because there is no longer a MDNS to enforce. Mark Huth clarified that for process purposes the mitigation must be included in the EIS if they are to be enforceable. Chairman Dennison reported for the record that the applicant, representatives of the Friends of Middlepoint, the State Departments of Wildlife, Ecology, and Fisheries and the Point No Point Treaty Council were all invited to this meeting. Chairman Dennison then advised that a time and date for the scoping meeting must be set. Mark Huth suggested that everyone that participated in the inter-disciplinary team meeting that was held on the site be .included in the scoping meeting. Chuck Henry suggested that Anita McMillan be asked to attend the scoping meeting, also. Tim Rymer, State Department of Wildlife, explained that he would be the Department contact and that Anita McMillan could provide any information she has through him. Chuck Henry added that Anita McMillan is the raptor specialist and should be included in addition to Mr. Rymer. Craig Ward quoted from the WAC section regarding the expanded scoping process, which says that public participation should be encouraged and asked if the scoping meeting should be advertised? Mark Huth responded that it should. How public participation is interpreted was then discussed. Mark Huth stated that he doesn't feel that the Board should restrict public participation at this time. Tim Rymer suggested that the Board take written comments before and after this scoping meeting. After checking dates, the scoping meeting was set for September 17, 1991 at 7:00 p.m. in the Superior Court Courtroom. Steve Hayden asked who would be responsible for putting the information together? Chairman Dennison stated that the Planning Department would be coordinating the information for the Board. Mark Huth reminded the Board that the preparation of the EIS can be done by the Planning Department staff, the applicant or an agent retained by the applicant. ';(1'_ 17 rAt;. 00 '1065 ... . '''' .. Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of September 3, 1991 Page: 5 *** Request from Port Townsend Chamber of Commerce re: Destination Washington Fundina: After discussion of the request from the Port Townsend Chamber of Commerce for additional funding for the "Destination Washingtonll magazine advertise- ment and the value of this advertisement to the businesses of Jefferson County, Commi- ssioner Brown moved to approve the payment of $3,006.81. The balance of the request for funds from the Chamber will be viewed in light of this project being given priority for funding by the Chamber. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Mike Cronin. State Department of Natural Resources re: Timber Income fr2Jections: Mike Cronin, State Department of Natural Resources came before the Board to discuss the income from sales of timber on County forest lands which the DNR manages. He explained that the income figures are projections and may not come in as projected. He reported currently that there are three timber sales in operation and it is projected that $300,000.00 will be coming into the County from them. There are no other sales under contract right now. There is another sale tentatively scheduled for the middle of 1992. It is possible that other sales which could net the County as much as $700,000.00 will be completed in 1992, but it may be 1993 before the revenues come in. The annual cut in Jefferson County is approximately 7 million board feet, which could amount to $1.2 million in revenue to the County.
