Shoreline Substantial DeveloDment permit #SDP89-0020: Floatinq Lonqline Facility for Shellfish Cultivation: North of Hood Head in Hood Canal: All Seasons Aauafarms: Bart Phillips, representing the project proponent and four interested area residents were present when Associate Planner, Jim Pearson, reviewed the staff report and Shoreline Commission recommendation for this floating longline shellfish cultivation facility. He reported that the facility would be located 500 feet north of Hood Head in Hood Canal and will cover 2.9 acres. The shellfish would be harvested with a boat and processed off the site. A pair of nesting eagles are located on Hood Head approximately 1,100 feet south of this site which would not be visible from the nest. An eagle assessment was prepared for the proponents. It was found that the Eagles have not been disturbed by the other All Seasons facility in this area and that this new proposed facility is not likely to have an effect on the Eagles. A benthic (bottom) survey was conducted of the site to determine if geoduck are located under the proposed site. Commercially harvestable numbers of geoduck were not found on this site. The state Department of Fisheries is requiring that the project proponent do another study, however. Hood Canal is a shoreline of statewide significance, and there are specific regulations which must be met because of this designation. Commercial fishing in the area must be addressed. This area (section 9) is considered a mixed stock area. Under existing salmon management policies of the state Department of Fisheries, it is not likely that this area would be opened up to commercial salmon fishing. 50 to 60 letters were received from adjacent property owners stating concerns regarding impacts to the aesthetics, property values, ecologic balance, wildlife, recreational boating and commercial fishing uses. Jim Pearson then reviewed the written testimony that was received. He reported that proposed conditions do not indicate that the project has been or will be approved by the county commissioners. He then read the proposed conditions for this project and explained how they were developed. The Shoreline Commission felt there was concern for navigation in the area and access to waterfront property. Condition #1 was developed to address this concern. commissioner Dennison noted that several people expressed concerns about adverse environmental impacts and asked if any specific items were men- tioned? Jim Pearson stated that many of these items (impacts on marine life, ecological balance, etc.) were discussed in general. Commissioner Dennison stated that this meeting is not a public hearing but asked if those present would like to make a comment on this project. Llovd McGath: Lloyd McGath explained that everything south of Hood Head is considered Hood Canal. Anything north of Hood Head is not in Hood Canal and not all of this project is in Hood Canal. Jim Pearson stated that in section 4.30 (Shorelines of statewide significance) in the Shoreline Management Master Program defines this area as Hood Canal. Fishing is always opened below the Hood Canal Bridge. Mr. McGath stated that he was disappointed that the letters that were sent to the Shoreline commission were not reported at the first meeting. They were presented at the second meeting, however. Mary McClure: Mary McClure asked if the purpose of issuing this permit is as an economic benefit to Jefferson county? One of the reasons given for val. 16 fAr,f 00 256 '.~ZI&: ;~"·^.l~k:,,'~-,';¿'¡~!:' !ìitir/J {it- _iIII commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of April 16, 1990 Page: 6 this project is that it would employ 18 people when all three facilities are up and running. She asked where the business is located? Bart Phillips stated that the registered agent is located in Port Orchard. Mrs. McClure added that she feels that all owners of properties that overlook this facility should go to the County Assessor and ask him to have their property re-evaluated because it will be overlooking a commercial facility. The property in this area will no longer be pristine. Commissioner B.G. Brown stated that property values are based on like sales in an area. commissioner Dennison added that property owners have control of their view up to the point of the property they own. A property owner can contest your tax evaluation at any time. Jim Pearson explained that if a project is found to be within the state law and the County regulations, then the County is obliged to issue a permit for it. Mrs. McClure stated that she doesn't understand why the county is issuing the permit because it isn't going to be a benefit to the County. She asked what the skill level of the 18 projected employees would be and if they would be full time or part time employees? Bart Phillips responded that the guidelines of the Shoreline Management Program do not address numbers of employees. ·The Shoreline commission did ask directly how many people would be employed and he answered that there would be 18 when the project is fully operational. This information was not given as justification for the permit. Mrs. McClure asked how this project will be policed? Commissioner Dennison stated that the project proponent will be required to make reports to the Planning Department and if anyone sees something going on that shouldn't be, they should report it to the Planning Department. Mr. McGath stated that he doesn't think that most people object to this one project, but what about future projects? commissioner B.G. Brown answered that the Board can address the matter of cumulative effects of projects when future projects are reviewed. Lelena Roberts: Lelena Roberts asked who makes out the Environmental checklist? Commissioner Dennison stated that the project proponents make out the Environmental Checklist and the Planning Department reviews it. She asked why the whales are not addressed in the environmental checklist? Jim Pearson stated that the project proponent checked off the item about marine mammals noting seals and the Planning Department changed that notation to indicate "marine mammals" which would include whales. Commis- sioner Dennison added that the question that must be addressed is if the project will have an impact on the whales in the area. Jim Pearson added that the aesthetic concerns that are raised are harder to deal with than many other types of environmental issues. The Shoreline commission is required to make a judgment on a project based on the criteria established for review. Commissioner B.G. Brown moved to approve the Shoreline Substantial Develop- ment Permit with the 10 revised conditions as recommended by the Shoreline Commission. Commissioner Dennison seconded the motion which carried bya unanimous vote. Shoreline Substantial DeveloDment Permit #SDP90-0003: Construct One story 18 x 26 foot Office for Existinq Aauaculture Facility: Nordland: Carl Johnson: The construction of a one story 18x 26 foot office for an existing aquaculture facility is being proposed by Carl Johnson, Jim Pearson reported. This project was started without a shoreline permit or building permit and has had a stop work order placed on it. It is a primary use in the Conservancy designation under the Shoreline Program and is not required to go through Shoreline Commission review. Jim Pearson then reviewed the staff findings, and recommended conditions of approval. This project is a water related use and will be setback 90 feet from the shoreline proper.
