MINUTES
WEEK OF NOVEMBER 4, 1991
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Larry W. Dennison.
Commissioner B. G. Brown was present. Commissioner Richard E. Wojt was not
present due to an excused absence. The Board met In a briefing session with
Community Services Director David Goldsmith.
Bill Brown re: Petition for Paving Schwartz Road on Marrowstone Island:
Bill Brown came before the Board to discuss paving Schwartz Road on Mar-
rowstone Island. He presented a petition with 11 signatures from area residents
asking that this road be paved. Commissioner Brown asked If Mr. Brown had
talked with the Public Works about this request? Mr. Brown reported that he had
discussed this with Earl Wells, Road Maintenance Supervisor. The southern portion
of this road Is paved (2/3 of a mile) but It Is narrow, rough and has potholes.
Earl Wells felt road construction would be required before It could be re-paved.
Mr. Brown noted that he Is a registered professional engineer and he would be
willing to do as much of the necessary paperwork as possible to get the ,project
going. He added that the older narrow portion of the road would require rlght-
of-way acquisition.
Commissioner Brown stated that Information Is needed on the traffic that uses the
road before a determination can be made regarding where It would fit In the
County's road construction program. Bill Brown stated that the gravel road
wasn't bad when his was the only residence at the end of the road, but now
there are 28 people that live on this road. The Increased traffic use has created
the washboard and pothole problems. Commissioner Brown stated that the Board
will discuss this request with Earl Wells and the County Engineer. Mr. Brown will
check back with the Board at a later date.
Declaring a Three Month Moratorium on All Development Activity
Formerly Regulated by the Jefferson County Development Code. Ordinance No.
3-89. Including Industrial and Commercial Activities. Multi-Family Developments.
Home Businesses. Signs and Temporary Structures: Planning and Building
Department Director Craig Ward reviewed the draft resolution to declare a three
month moratorium on all development activity previously regulated by the
Jefferson County Development Code. This emergency measure Is necessary
because the County did not receive a stay of a Court order (#89-2-00646-7)
declaring the County's Development Code null, void and without any effect.
While the appeal process proceeds the alternatives are to draft a new Develop-
ment Code, or Interim regulations. Until this Is done the County has no authority
to condition development activities that were formerly addressed under the
'Jot. 1 7 rAGf 00 1281i.J

Development Code and there Is the potential for environmental damage In that
period. The Planning Department recommends that a moratorium be Imposed
to allow the time necessary for development of Interim regulations.
Prosecuting Attorney Mark Huth reported that as long as the moratorium Is brief
In duration and based on an emergency It should withstand legal challenge.
He suggested that a paragraph be added to the fourth page stating "Whereas
the Jefferson County Boord of CommIssIoners fInds that the facts cIted above
evIdence that an emergency exIsts In Jefferson County." Commissioner Brown
suggested that the last paragraph be amended to say that the moratorium shall
remain In effect for three months or until an Interim control can be developed,
whichever period Is shorter.
Commissioner Brown moved to approve and adopt RESOLUTION NO. 105-91 with
the addition of a paragraph that the Board finds that an emergency exists and
that the final paragraph be amended to state the moratorium shall be In effect
for 90 days or until Interim regulations are adopted, whichever Is shorter.
Chairman Dennison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
Craig Ward then reported that after discussions with several consultants It ap-
pears that generating an EIS for the Development Code will cost In excess of
$10,000 which requires that the IIRequest for Quallflcatlonsll process be Initiated
for this work. Commissioner Brown moved to approve advertising a Request for
Statement of QualificatIons for the hiring of a consulting firm to produce an EIS
on the County's Development Code. Chairman Dennison seconded the motion
which carried by a unanimous vote.
