They did not ask for a specific amount of time. The comment period closed on October 17, 1991. Commissioner Brown asked if that is a legal time limit? Jerry Smith reported that the October 17 deadline was established by application of the SEPA rules which indicate that the comment period for a determination of significance is 21 days from the date that it is received by the State Department of Ecology. A notice of appeal of the Determination of Significance has been received, from the Wilson's Attorney. Prosecuting Attorney Mark Huth reported that the Board should set a public hearing for this appeal.

Larae Lot Subdivision I#LL09-91: Ap- proximatelY Two Miles sóâthwest of the Port Townsend City Umlts. Southwest of Cape Georae Road: Glenn R. Wood. Trustee. Hlahlands Trust: This SEPA review and threshold determination is for a 20 acre parcel to be divided into four, five acre lots, Jerry Smith reported. The property is located off of Crutcher Road (a County road) which leads to Sand Road which is a private. The slopes on the property are approximately 18% and considered to be unstable, which makes this site an environmentally sensitive area. Jerry Smith reported that he made a site inspection and found that there was cutting and filling on the first 500 feet of the road. He then reviewed the environmental checklist, and the proposed three mitigative measures. ,The Planning Department recommends that the Board consider the following potential environmental impacts: soil erosion, slopes stability and storm water runoff. Chairman Dennison asked about the slopes on the site. Jerry Smith reported that he found slopes on the site that approach 20%. Chairman Dennison then asked if hydro- " , 1, '7 . fin,,' " ....2":;,., ~V@L t,~UE uu..L · . '" , .. Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of October 21, 1991 Page: 3 seeding is enough to stabilize these steep slopes? Jerry Smith reported that hydroseed- ing is generally more than sufficient to stabilize slopes of the nature found on this site. After discussion of the erosion control plans required in the mitigation, Chairman Dennison suggested that the notice to purchasers be changed to say that an occupancy permit will not be issued until a erosion control plan is implemented. Commissioner Brown asked if the applicant has reviewed and agreed to the four mitigative measures? Skip Wood· stated that he is confused about the erosion control plan. Chairman Dennison explained that a storm water management plan is required for the plat which is to be implemented in two phases. The first phase would include a plan for erosion control during the construction work on the subdivision. The second phase would be the storm water management plan for each lot that will be implemented before the building occupancy permit is issued. Commissioner Brown moved to issue a mitigated determination of non-significance with the change in the wording of the notice to potential purchasers as discussed. Chairman Dennison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Plannina Commission Recommendation: Proposed Jefferson County Subdivision Ordinance: Assistant Planner Eric Toews submitted the final draft of the Subdivision Ordinance. He reported that the changes made were to address public concerns expressed at the Planning Commission's hearing. He then reviewed some of the changes: · A new subsection 2.40 Ordinance Administration was added. This section appoints the Planning Director as the Administrator of the ordinance and empowers him to define terms which are vague. It also allows him to adopt administrative rules (after review of the proposed rules by the Planning Commission and the Board of Commissioners) for implementation of the ordinance. · A new subsection was added in the chapter relating to developments that would otherwise be categorically exempt under SEPA. It empowers the County to review and condition a proposal even if the project area does not contain a mapped Environmental Sensitive Area, but does have the characteristics of such an area. Discussion ensued regarding where the burden of proof is for saying that an area of a proposed development has the characteristics of an environmentally sensitive area that isn't mapped. Prosecuting Attorney Mark Huth reported that the administrative rules must be clear and include definitions by which to review these issues. Planning and Building Department Director, Craig Ward, stated that he can't use these provisions until the administrative rules are adopted. Commissioner Brown stated that he hoped that this proposed ordinance would better clarify the issues such as burden of proof. Mark Huth stated that this section has given him concern since its' inception. This section can not be invoked until administrative rules and procedures are in place with clear definitions of each of the characteristics. If a characteristic can't be defined it will have to be stricken from this portion of the ordinance. Mark Huth reported that there are some additional areas that need to be addressed by this ordinance: Section 7 (page 45) Large Lot Subdivision: This section does not require that large lot subdivisions be run through the same plat approval procedures as required for short or long subdivisions. The State law does not review such subdivisions unless the County has adopted a Subdivision Ordinance. Mark Huth recommended that Large Lot Subdivisions be treated the same as short and long plats, under this ordinance. The Growth Management Act includes a provision that the County make written findings that appropriate provisions have been made for schools and school grounds among several other items. Mark Huth reported that a section should be added to address schools and school grounds under long subdivisions. Exemptions Section 3.40 (page 11): Mark Huth reported that the County does not have the authority to provide some of the exemptions listed in the proposed ordinance. The County's exemptions should be the same as what is listed in the State law. '"V,M! l' '7, ',' , ,- nn 12701' . ~ U'I.. :r,rt U'. ~ ~~.1 e,Ú;. _ ..Y""·~"""" ~. . v . .
