HomeMy WebLinkAboutM122391 " . 'i .\. MINUTES WEEK OF DECEMBER 23, 1991 The meeting was called to order by Chairman Larry W. Dennison. Commissioner B.G. Brown and Commissioner Richard E. Wojt were both present. Facilities ManaS!er Frank GifTord re: Warranty Claims on the Port Townsend Community Center: The Contractor" who did the renovation of the Port Townsend Community Center, has been notified of the items, such as the doors, that are under warranty and need to be repaired, Facilities Manager Frank Gifford reported. The Contractor wants to negotiate doing this work. Frank Gifford asked if the Board wants the County to enter into negotiations with the Contractor or if they want to require that the warranty work be done? Prosecuting Attorney Mark Huth proposed that a letter be written to the contractor advising them that the County will not negotiate the warranty work. The letter should also set a deadline for the work to be completed. The Board concurred that the letter be written. Prosecutins! Attorney Mark Huth re: Thompson!Thiesen Short Plat and Road Vacation: Prosecuting Attorney Mark Huth reported that part of the variance agreement (regarding Jefferson Avenue) on the Thompson/Thiesen short plat was that 15 feet of right-of-way be dedicated to make up half of the additional 30 feet of right-of-way which would be needed in the future if the road is to be built to County road standards. He reported that these Short Plat lots are at the edge of the original plat and the additional 30 feet, if ever needed, would come off of the abutting property. The Hearing Examiner has reviewed a vacation application and made a recommendation that a portion of Jefferson Avenue adjacent to the Thompson/Thiesen property be vacated. That would leave this 15 feet of right-of-way, if it is dedicated, in limbo. Mark Huth reported that if this vacation is approved it would not be in the interest of the public to have the right-of-way dedicated. He then presented an amendment which would change the wording of Condition #2 of the variance to say "The applicants are not required to purchase additional right- of-way along Jefferson Avenue." Commissioner Wojt moved to approve and sign the amendment to the variance for the Thompson/Thiesen Short Subdivision as presented. Commissioner Brown seconded the motion. Chairman Dennison asked if the lots that are left beyond where Jefferson Avenue will be vacated will have to be granted an access easement or if their access will come off of Oak Bay Road? Ellen Thiesen stated that there is a developed access off of Oak Bay Road because there is a residence in that, area. The road from that point to the edge of their lots is a logging road. Chairman Dennison suggested that this access road off of Oak Bay Road be named something other than Jefferson Avenue so there will not be any confusion for emergency response vehicles in the future. Mark Huth reported that the, Hearing Examiner reviewed all of the issues in the road vacation for this section of Jefferson Avenue. Public Works has noted previously that Jefferson Avenue would not be a an adequate road to, upgrade all the way to Oak Bay Road. Ken Thompson stated that there are more circumstances than just the intersection at Oak Bay Road. The Hearing Examiner listened to everything that was brought up on this road. ,', .~~ ¥"". l' "" no 1,<1 ntfi'· - ì r :~,~;: uti &..t(~~'¡ , , Commissioners' Meeting Agenda: Week of December 23, 1991 Page: 2 Chairman Dennison called for a vote on the motion. The motion carried by a unanimous vote. PlanninS! & BuildinS! Department Director CraiS! Ward re: PlanninS! Department Fee Schedule: Planning and Building Department Director Craig Ward reported that after reviewing the Department's present fee schedule, he has put together some suggestions for new fees which will be more in line with actual costs. He suggested that plan review fees be raised to 65% of the base fee as noted in the Uniform Building Code. He noted that the Hearing Ex- aminer costs have been included in base fees where applicable. Commissioner Brown stated that it would help him to know what the existing fees are for these items. Fees have been included to reflect the new interim zoning ordinance when and if it is adopted, Craig Ward continued. If the new Subdivision Ordinance is passed the fee for Large Lot Subdivisions will be eliminated because these subdivisions will be reviewed as either short or long subdivisions which is determined by the number of lots. The Board directed that the Planning Department put information together on what other counties of like size and close proximity charge for these services. BUSINESS FROM COUNTY DEPARTMENTS PUBLIC WORKS HEARING re: ChanmS! the Name of a Certain Platted Road: Columbia Avenue. BeUeview Plat. Brinnon: To Yashi Street: Bob Henderson reported that there is already a West Columbia and an East Columbia Street already named in the County. The name Yashi Street has been suggested. Chairman Dennison opened the public hearing. Hearing no comments for or against the proposed name change the Chairman closed the hearing. Commissioner Brown moved to approve the name of Yashi Street as proposed. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by a un- animous vote. The Resolution will be prepared for signing. Application for Franchise: Water System: BridS!ehaven and Trails End Vicinity: BridS!ehaven Community Club Association. Applicant: Public Works Administrative Assistant Eileen Simon reported that action was tabled on this application for franchise so that it could be determined if a SEP A checklist is required due to environmentally sensitive areas in the franchise area. She reported that the Prosecuting Attorney reviewed the matter and recommends that SEP A checklist be require~ on this franchise. Byron Swigart, representing the Bridgehaven Community Club Association, stated that this residential community is composed of mostly retired persons. The community owns and operates its own water system. It has come up in the past few years that the Bridgehaven Community Water system should provide water to adjacent areas to deter a proliferation of private wells and/or additional water systems in the area. The Bridgehaven system serves the plat of Olympic Highlands and Olympic Shores as well as some properties on Thorndyke Road. They now have a request for service on private lands and lands along Dickey Road. This franchise request will allow the Bridgehaven system to provide water in a more efficient manner. He asked for the County's assistance in working with the Bridgehaven Water System to allow them to provide these services. The most critical need for this franchise is on Thorndyke Road, Southpoint Road and Dickey Street. Commissioner Wojt asked what role the PUD has in establishing a regional water system in this area? Byron Swigart reported that the PUD has no water wells or system in this area which is the reason that the State and County have asked that the Bridgehaven system provide water in this area. They have the service lines, the well capacity and the ability to provide the requested water. Commissioner Brown asked if this area is in the Bridgehaven Water System service area identified in the County's Coordinated Water System Plan? Byron Swigart reported that it is. VOL 17 rAŒ 001.48: Commissioners' Meeting Agenda: Week of December 23, 1991 Page: 3 Commissioner Brown moved to table action on this franchise until the SEPA checklist is submitted by the Bridgehaven Community Club Association. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion. Byron Swigart stated that the SEPA checklist is more comprehensive than is necessary for this franchise. He asked that the Association be allowed to work with the Public Works Department on developing the checklist? Chairman Dennison advised that the SEP A checklist provides the necessary information to make a determination on the environmental impacts of the water system. Eileen Simon reported that franchises are categorically exempt from SEP A unless there are environmentally sensitive areas in the franchise area. Chairman Dennison called for a vote on the motion. The motion carried by a unanimous vote. License to Use County Road Ri2ht-of-Way: To Maintain LandscapinS! at Intersec- tion: Intersection of Oak Bay Road and Walker Wayßntersection of Oak Bay Road and Swansonville Road: Ludlow Maintenance Committee: 911 System Coordinator Bob Henderson reported that the Ludlow Maintenance Committee has requested a ,license to use County Road right-of-way to maintain landscaping at the intersections of Oak nay Road/Walker Way and Oak Bay Road/Swansonville Road. Commissioner Brown moved to approve the licence to use rights-of-way as requested by the Ludlow Maintenance Committee. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Evaluation and Recommendation on SeptaS!e Treatment and Disposal Services: (See also Minutes of December 16, 1991) Public Works Director; Gary Rowe reported that last week the Board tabled action on selecting an alternative for the treatment of septage until more information is received from, and negotiations begun with the City of Port Townsend. Gary Rowe then reviewed the options for an interim solution to treating the County's septage, after the lagoon at the landfill is closed on December 31, 1991. He reported on the three options: 1. The County install a collection facility at the landfill such as a truck/trailer or above ground tanks for storing the septage until it can be hauled to another treatment facility. 2. Require that the pumpers haul their wastes directly to a disposal site in another County. 3. Allow a private business to place a truck/trailer holding system at the landfill and then haul the wastes collected to another disposal site. ' The City has entered into an agreement with Goodman Sanitation to haul their sludge, in a tanker truck, to either the City of Bremerton or Renton for treatment and disposal. Goodman Sanitation is the only business in the County that pump septic tanks. IT they were to put a tanker for collecting these wastes at the landfill, they would be the only company hauling to it which would put the County in the middle of a process that is already being handled by a private company. The Board concurred that the process that is now active be continued as it is. Prosecuting Attorney Mark Huth suggested that notice be sent to all the septic tank pumpers that as of December 31 they will have to haul their septage to another site for disposal. FACIUTIES MANAGEMENT Recommendation for Bid Award: Desisæn Materials and Labor. Interior Li2htins! at Jefferson County Corrections Center: Architectural Projects Inspector Frank Hall reported that after reviewing the bids received, the recommendation is to award· the bid for the work at the Corrections Center to the second low bidder (Ahearn Electric) due to the timeframe for the work to be done. There is a difference in the two bids of $323.00. He reported that the low bidder bid 180 days to do the work while the second low bidder bid 60 pays for this work. The longer length of time will cost the County approximately an additional $1,534.00. Commissioner Brown questioned if the low bid contractor would actually take that much time to do the job? Frank Hall answered that this means that they could take that long to do the job. He added that the County's bid specifications state that length of time will be a consideration in vot 17 irliŒ 00 1.48::; -;;;~- - Commissioners' Meeting Agenda: Week of December 23, 1991 Page: 4 the bid award. He noted that even if the contractor finished in less time the penalty clause of the contract would be an additional 120 days over the second low bidders time. The Board directed Frank Hall to have the Prosecuting Attorney review the bids and this recommendation and report back to them at a later date. AI Latham. Jefferson County Conservation District re: Grant: AI Latham, Jeffer- son County Conservation District, explained that the Conservation. District is submitting a grant application to the State Department of Natural Resources for an educational and technical grant to provide funds to assist small, non-industrial, forest land owners in; the County. He stated that they would like a letter of support for this grant from the County. Commissioner Brown moved that a letter of support be written and signed by the Chairman in ¡support of the Conservation District grant application to the DNR. Chairman Dennison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Teresa Barron re: Requirements of the Centennial Clean Water Fund Grant (#TAX90094): Oullcene Im-.»lementation Grant for. a) Evaluation of "Environmentally Important Area" Desisænation for Ouilcene/Dabob Bays Watershed. and b) Draft Jefferson County Harbor Seal Policy and Seal MonitorinS! Plan: Washinsæton State Department of Ecolo2Y: Teresa Barron, Water Quality Specialist, Planning & Building Department, reported that the Board must evaluate the need to designate the QuilceneIDabob Bays Watershed as an Environmentally Important Area. Chairman Dennison suggested that the designation be an Environmentally Sensitive Area, which is the term used in the County's Comprehensive Plan. Teresa Barron reported that after her review she feels it would be prudent to wait until the Growth Management process is complete before making any designation. After discussion of the alternatives for designation, Teresa Barron reported that the grant officer at the Department of Ecology feels that the staff recommendation to postpone making the designation until after the growth management process is completed may 'mean that all of the important decisions that would protect water quality will have been made. The Board concurred with the staff recommendation that the designation not be made until after the growth management process has been completed. Harbor Seal Policy: Teresa Barron then reviewed the goals of the draft Harbor Seal policy and Seal Monitoring Plan. The Department of Ecology grant officer has reviewed this policy and feels that it is a good one. The County would seek funding to S1.J.pport research (monitoring), continue to support efforts to minimize fecal coliform from other (than seals) sources, consider effective measures to deter Harbor seals, and will co-access sampling data. It is estimated that a Seal monitoring program would cost $15,000 to $20,000 per year 'and there is no identifiable source for this funding. The other issue is that once the research is done, there is nothing the County can do about the seals because they are protected under the Marine Mammal Act. Commissioner Brown moved to adopt the Harbor Seal Policy and' monitoring as submitted. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Pat Teal. Jefferson County Domestic Violence/Sexual Assault Prosæram re: Support for Grant: Jan Berg, Management Consultant and Kitty Guthrie, Volunteer Coordinator joined Pat Teal of the Jefferson County Domestic Violence/Sexual Assault Program to discuss the State's grant program for the development of a Comprehensive Plan for Domestic Violence in the County. The maximum funds available to the county is $40,000. The grant would be awarded to the County and the County would then sub-contract with the Domestic Violence/Sexual Assault Program to develop the' plan. The Board suggested that they contact the Superintendent of Schools in the Queets/Clearwater area regarding the needs of the West End residents. Pat Teal reported that the County must submit a letter of commitment for this project. The Board suggested that they work with the County Clerk, the Prosecuting Attorney's Office, and the Clerk of the Board to get the information they need for this project. Anne SavaS!e re: Property Problems: Anne Savage asked why no one has come to see her property since she was here the last time? Commissioner! Brown stated that everyone in the County that has any expertise or authority has been to her property and inspected it. l VOl 17 rA~ om :140:8 Commissioners' Meeting Agenda: Week of December 23, 1991 Page: 5 Chairman Dennison added that the property boundary dispute is between Ms. Savage and her neighbor. After further discussion with Mrs. Savage about her property the Board agreed that she contact Earl Wells of the Public Works Department again. BUSINESS FROM COUNTY DEPARTMENTS PIANNING AND BUILDING State Environmental Policy Act Review and Threshóld Determination: Mixed Use Residential. Commercial and Recreational Development (SDP91-0017): Port Ludlow: Pope Resources: (See also Minutes of October 7, 1991) Chairman Dennison explained that this meeting is for review of the environmental checklist and an environmental threshold deter- mination on Pope Resources "Inn at Port Ludlow" project. It is not a public hearing. He then explained the SEP A process which includes a 15 day public comment period if a determination of non-significance is issued. He explained that many public comments have been received on this project since the last meeting. A man asked if the public comment period could be extended due to the holiday season, if a DNS is issued? Prosecuting Attorney Mark Huth advised that the 15 day comment period can be extended. Chairman Dennison then asked that the Planning Department give' a report on this revised project proposal. Associate Planner Jim Pearson reported that the revised proposal was received on December 9 and includes: a 36 room hotel, 72 residential units (the original application was for 90 units), infrastructure, parking, 2,500 square feet of retail commercial space, renovation of the existing restaurant, modification of an existing marina, 40 feet of rip rap shore defense work, landscaping, and placement of signs and outdoor lighting. The following components were eliminated from the proposal: 8 ¡single family residential dwelling units, 6 multi-family units, 4 multi-family units on easterly edge of existing marina parking, 3 multi-family units and 6 parking spaces adjoining the northeast comer of the existing marina parking, 2,500 square foot spa and 9 skiff floats, fuel dock extension, and a pier from the marina to the hotel. Jim Pearson then reviewed the 20 proposed mitigative measures submitted by the project proponent. The proposal is now a 17.5 acre parcel since some of the development has been eliminated on the west side of the property. He then reviewed a summary of the significant environmental comments: * Earth: A portion of the site is identified as unstable in the Coastal Zone Atlas and there are slopes up to 80% on the westerly portion of the site. The propo- nent has proposed to have a geotechnical report and foundation designs prepared for all development of slopes in excess of 15%. * Water 29% of the site would be covered by impervious surfaces. A stormwater management plan has been submitted by the applicant as part of the applica- tion. * Animals: There are eagles, osprey, heron, deer, river otter, and small mammals on or near the site. * Environmental Health: The site was a saw mill from 1852 to 1935. Consultants for the applicant have conducted an evaluation of the site to determine the presence of hazardous materials from past uses. Levels of lead and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons which exceed State soil cleanup levels were discovered at a site easterly of the existing pond. The material from this area is proposed to be used to construct dunes on the southeasterly portion of' the site. There exists the potential for impacts to human health or the environment from exposure to or release of contaminants from excavated soils or by contact between ,VOL 17 fAbE 00 :l4fj/1 · . Commissioners' Meeting Agenda: Week of December 23, 1991 Page: 6 storm water in the detention pond and soil contaminants. The consultant report makes recommendations for handling, monitoring and reporting. The proposal includes removal of the existing marina underground fuel tanks and their replacement with new t3nk:s. * Land and Shoreline Use: The site is designated as suburban in the Comprehensive Plan and urban -and aquatic in the Shoreline Master Program. The project's consistency with these programs and the Subdivision Ordinance will be determined during the review processes required. * Light and Glare: The applicant proposes to hood, shade and direct lightÎ1'1g and limit light standards to 10 feet in parking areas and 4 feet along pedestrian walkways to mitigate increased sources of light that would be seen from adjoining uplands, marine waters, and the south shore of Port Ludlow Bay. * Transportation: The Public Works Department has reviewed a traffic impact analysis done by the applicant and has indicated that the existing County road system is adequate to accommodate expected traffic volume. * Public Services: Fire District #3 has expressed concern that the proposa~ would have a significant adverse impact on their capacity to provide emergency services. The applicant has proposed nine (9) conditions to address these concerns. * Utilities: The applicant states the existing capacity of the North Bay water system is adequate to serve the proposed development, based on State standards. The applicant also expects to link the North and South Bay water systems. The applicant has also indicated that the existing sewage treatment system has the capacity to handle the loading from this project~ The Planning Department recommends that the Board consider the following potential significant adverse environmental impacts: soil erosion, water quality degradation, environmental health hazards, and the need for Fire District #3 to provide increased fire fighting and emergency medical services. After Jim Pearson reviewed the Board's options for a SEPA determination, Prosecutìng Attorney Mark Huth clarified that an applicant submitting a new or revised. proposal can ask, before a SEP A determination is made, if it is likely that a determination of significance will be issuedt and can then attempt to mitigate the proposal to address the concerns.· Commissioner Wojt asked if the residences will only be sold to people over 55 years of age? ' David Cunningham, Pope Resources, indicated that they will be sold to anyone with the money to buy them. Chairman Dennison asked if an analysis was made of the sediment in the marina? David Cunningham stated that they had a consulting firm make an analysis and full report which has been submitted to the County. Jim Pearson reviewed a letter (dated October 30, 1991) submitted by Thomas Smayda of Harding Lawson Associates reporting on the analysis of the samples they took of sediments from several sites around the bay, and from the sites in the marina. In discussions with Mr. Smayda, he indicated to Jim Pearson that the sediment was probably plankton materials in a decomposition process. David Cunningham reiterated that Harding Lawson did sediment samples from the same places that the gentlemen that presented the samples at the last meeting had taken them from. Dr. Harding reported that they found that the sediments in the Bay are essentially the same as those found in other non-urban bays. Commissioner Wojt asked if the Fire District has confirmed exactly what their needs are? David Cunningham reported that they have had several meetings with the Fire District staff and Fire Commissioners. They feel that the project ~s it has been redesigned with the proposed mitigation will cover all of the Fire District concerns. They have not had any site specific problems presented to them. VOL 17 rA~~ 001.485 Commissioners' Meeting Agenda: Week of December 23, 1991 Page: 7 Ron Hayworth, representing Fire District #3, stated that the Fire District has concerns about their ability to provide services to this project and the community as a whole. This project and the accumulation of other proposed projects will adversely impact the' services the Fire District can provide. Volunteers fire fighters can respond to approximately a call a day or 350 to 370 calls a year. Any more than that and the Fire DistÌ'ict will need to have paid fire fighters. They urged the Board to take a look at the Qverall development in this area. Commissioner Wojt asked if the proponent can be asked to addreSs the impacts that a project would have to housing in the County where people will be employed to provide services to the project. Mark Huth stated that is an impact that can be reviewed and addressed through SEP A David Cunningham reported that they have tracked the number of. rental units available within 20 minutes of this project, and given the salary levels of the maintenance people, there appears to be an adequate number of appropriately priced rental units. David Douglas stated that WAC 197.11.448 speaks to other relevant decisions that have to be made that are not necessarily environmental, but should be considered in this decision making process. Chairman Dennison reported that this section deals with. social, economic and welfare issues. He added that he feels cumulative impacts must be considered carefully and feels that a determination of significance is necessary. Craig Ward stated there are inconsistencies between the checklist item on fish and wildlife habitat and the staff review of that item. Another item of concern is erosion control and stormwater management. Both of these items are important and more information is needed on them. He' noted that there are important wildlife and fish specifies that use the area which were not iden- tified in the checklist and no mitigation has been proposed. He suggested that wildlife and stormwater management, are issues that should be addressed as cumulative impacts. David Cunningham stated that he is surprised because they have asked the Planning Department for the last 2 1/2 months what information on the environmental checklist is in error or lacking, and the Planning Department has not indicated that there was any. lacking, information. He added that every project that Pope Resources does has an erosion control plan submitted and approved by they Public Works Department. In addition the water quality monitoring that is being done specifically indicates impacts from stormwater development in Port Ludlow. David Cunningham continued by noting that Pope Resources is fully prepared to do an Environ- mental Impact Statement which would address cumulative impacts. from the entire Port Ludlow project. This would be a programmatic EIS which is different from an EIS on this specific project. Chairman Dennison stated that he understands that Pope Resources will submit a total develop- ment plan and do a programmatic EIS on that Plan. David Cumlingham said that he feels it is appropriate to link to the programmatic EIS through this project. Mark Huth added that the County would have to adopt the programmatic EIS, if it chose, for use on any future project. Craig Ward added that in the summary of the checklist staff provided, the Coastal Zone Atlas identifies Eagles, Osprey, Heron, deer and River Otter as species that are on or near this site and may utilize it. He feels that additional information is needed to clarify the inconsistency in the information that the County has and what the checklist states. Chairman Dennison stated that he appreciates Pope Resources willingness to look at the issue of cumulative impacts. Mark Huth stated that he feels that the programmatic EIS should be kept separate from the specific impacts of this proposal. David Cunningham suggested the EIS be two part, with one part to address the specifics of this project and the other part to address the cumulative impacts of all of the project development. He added that since there has already been a generous amount of public input on this project regarding the environmental issues that are pertinent to Port Ludlow, he hopes that the County will not go to' expanded scoping. Commissioner Brown stated that the mitigative measures that Pope Resources has offered on this project have addressed many of the concerns, but there are other areas where more information is needed. Chairman Dennison stated that he feels this is the time tQ look at the cumulative impacts of the entire development. Mark Huth explained that cumulative impacts can be addressed on a site specific basis, in other words, what does this development add, or on the programmatic basis of what is the impact of all of the development in the area. Doing a programmatic EIS doesn't change the fact that the effects of this project must be addressed if it is determined that they have probable, significant environmental impacts which would require a. determination of significance. VOL 17 fAt'Æ 001480 Commissioners' Meeting Agenda: Week of December 23, 1991 Page: 8 David Cunningham asked if the proponent could work with staff to bring forward a draft Deter- mination of Significance, Commissioners findings, declare the intention to prepare an EIS and address the issues for scoping during a meeting in January, and then set a public hearing date if expanded scoping is selected? Commissioner Brown moved to make a determination of significance and direct staff to prepare the written document stating that an EIS will be prepared. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. The draft DS will reviewed by the Board at 2:00 p.m. on January 7, 1991. Request to Waive the Provisions of the Interim Subdivision Ordinance for LarS!e Lot Subdivisions: Development of a 40 Acre Parcel into Seven (7) LarS!e Lots: 2 112 Miles Southwest of Ouilcene: Lorna Ward and Frances Larsen: Associate Planner Jerry Smith reported that this request for a waiver of the provisions of the interim Subdivision Ordinance to develop a 40 acre parcel into seven large lots. The applicants surveyed the property in 1979 and the survey was filed with the County in 1981. The applicants are requesting this waiver as a result' of a lengthy court case they were involved in to acquire legal access to this parcel. The waiver criteria were then reviewed: * Survey was filed prior to April of 1990. (There was in this case.) * At least one parcel within the survey was sold and segregated prior to April of 1990. If these criteria are met the following findings must be made by the Board of County Commis- sioners: * That substantial progress had been made toward development of a large lot subdivision. * That applying the interim large lot subdivision provisions would not be in the best interest of the citizens of Jefferson County. Jerry Smith added that the fact that there was no legal access to the property was a deterrent to any lot sales. Commissioner Brown moved that after reviewing the staff report he feels that this proposal dòes warrant a waiver from the requirements of the large lot subdivision. Commissioner Wojt second- ed the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. The staff will prepare findings of fact for the Board to sign. Settins! Time and Date to Review the AlleS!ations of Shoreline Violations by Pope Resources at the Inner Harbor VillaS!e: Associate Planner Jim Pearson suggested that he have a report ready on Bert Loomis' allegations of shoreline permit violations and Pope Resources responses, for review on January 21, 1992 at 2:00 p.m. The Board concurred with that date. Assistant Planner Eric Toews re: PlanninS! Commission Report and Recom- mendation on the Interim ZoninS! Ordinance: (See also Minutes of December 16) Assistant Planner Eric Toews noted that finding number one of the Planning Commission report indicated that certain members of the Planning Commission did not feel there was enough evidence of an emergency to necessitate the passage of this ordinance. He noted that two of the five Planning Commission members present at the special meeting, indicated their concerns to the Planning Staff after the meeting. He added that he doesn't feet that this reflects accurately the feelings of the rest of the members of the Planning Commission. He then reviewed the changes item by item: * Item 2 of Planning Commission's Report: Page 21 Additional location standards have been included to clarify that general, commercial development is a conditional use within the general use and that this ordinance will not prohibit general commercial development that is consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. One of the policies states that commercial development may occur at the intersection of major arterial. * Item 3: Page 10, 13 and 15 of draft ordinance - Maximum density provisions were removed from the proposed ordinance. The specific zone regulations make clear the maximum building coverage and site development coverage. * Page 15 of draft ordinance: Height limitation inconsistency in the light industrial, commercial zone. The maximum height allowed is 35 feet but structures may be allowed to exceed that (up to 50 feet) after receiving a conditional permit. VOL 17 fA~f '00 1.48r:~ · . Commissioners' Meeting Agenda: Week of December 23, 1991 Page: 9 * Item 5 of the Planning Commission report: Page 24 - Home Occupations. The previous language limited home occupations to 400 square feet. This was changed to 500 square feet. * Interim Ordinance section on temporary activities and structures - pages 25-27: The Planning Commission suggested that these be activities and structures be handled administratively. An administrative review process has been outlined. These activities may be permitted in all zones when the criteria have been satisfied. Temporary real estate offices have been taken out of this designation. They will be required to go through the variance procedure for approval. * Item 10: Page 29 - Any administrative rules promulgated by the Zoning Administrator must be reviewed, amended and approved by the Board of Commissioners pursuant to a recommen- dation from the Planning Commission within 30 days of their establishment. * Page 12 and 14 - The Planning Commission suggested that the maps showing the Eastview/Milllight industrial area be amended. Sam Swanson pointed out at last weeks meet- ing that it was, in his opinion, inequitable to be creating maps for areas that were not already served by precisely detailed maps which are part of the Comprehensive Plan Optimum Land Use maps. The Planning Staff feels this is a valid recommendation, and that all area should be treated equally. In other words if a precisely detailed maps does not exist as part of the Comprehensive Plan Optimum Land Use Maps, then applicants will have to go through the zoning change procedure or apply for a conditional use permit. Finding number 15 of the ordinance set out a zoning change procedure, which an applicant could use to have a map adopted to include a specific area. Craig Ward added that it seemed inappropriate in an interim ordinance to make interpretations of the maps without a public process. 'Any area that doesn't have a precisely detailed map already adopted as part of the Comprehensive Plan is not included in this zone. * Gardiner Optimum Land Use Map - The commercial area on the Gardiner land use map is specifically detailed and can be included in the general commercial zone. This area has been added on Page 10 of the Interim Ordinance. * Sam Swanson indicated that the definition of Multi-Family used in the interim ordinance was not consistent with the former Development Code. Multi-family is defined in the interim ordinance as "structures housing two or more residential dwelling units". This definition is consistent with the former Development Code. * Page 1, Finding #3 of the proposed Interim Ordinance has an incorrect date. It should say January 1, 1991 not 1996. Commissioner Brown asked if Jefferson County is no longer the fastest growing county in the State, as was indicated at a recent Growth Management meeting? Mark Huth reported that the growth rate indicator only comes out once a year in April. Mark Huth suggested that in Section 17 (last page) of the proposed ordinance, the effected period should include language that says "this ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of peace, health, and/or safety and shall be effective immediately." Chairman Dennison asked how a person would know what intersections may have exclusions for commercial development due to that provision being written in the Community Plan? He suggested that wording be included in this document that tells people to check the local com- munity plans. David Goldsmith, Community Services Director, explained that the community plans are adopted as special chapters of the Comprehensive Plan. After further discussion, Chairman Dennison suggested that a page be added to all copies of the Comprehensive Plan to advise people to check for a local community plan. Eric Toews suggested that any references to the Comprehensive Plan in the ordinance include a reference to the community plans also. The Planning Department will make the suggested changes to the proposed ordinance and bring it back to the Board for adoption. * * * APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF THE CONSENT AGENDA: Commissioner Wojt moved to adopt and approve the items on the Consent Agenda as presented. Commissioner Brown seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. 1.
