KJ:JfUTBS Week of June 4, 1990 The meeting was called to order by Chairman George Brown at the appointed time. Commissioner B. G. Brown and Commissioner Larry W. Dennison were both present. Assessor Jack Westerman re: Need for Hore Personnel: Assessor Jack Westerman came before the Board to discuss the need for another Appraiser in the Assessor's Office to keep up with the additional workload. Commissioner B. G. Brown moved that the Assessor's Office advertise and hire another Appraiser as soon as possible. Commissioner Dennison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. william Xichael. Chairman. Solid Waste Advisorv committee re: Funding for Hazardous Waste Collection Facility: William Michael ex- plained that the Solid Waste Advisory Committee held a special meeting to look at the Draft Hazardous Waste Management Plan which must be submi tted to the State Department of Ecology by June 30. It is estimated that $150,000 to $200,000 per year will be necessary to implement this plan. The plan must include how the County will fund it. Some funding options discussed at this meeting included an increase in sales tax or property taxes, tipping fees and user fees (for small quantity generators). This plan provides for the construction of a collection facility, its' operating costs and the disposal costs for these hazardous wastes. There is no facility like this anywhere right now so there is no model to use for estimating the costs. The majority of what is being recycled right now, Mr. Michael continued, is used crankcase oil, but there are numerous other items that are not being handled at all. This plan is mandated by the State DOE and there is some grant funding available. In the future one possibility is to set up a Solid Waste utility District. The' Solid Waste Advisory Committee members are willing to take the case for the preferred funding option to the county residents. BUSINESS FROH COUNTY DEPARTMENTS PUBLIC WORKS HEARING: Aoplication for Franchise: Construct. Ooerate and Haintain water Hain Facilities: certain Sections in Townshio 30 North. Rancre 1 West.

I ...L. ,I r\:U~ 4.33 commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of June 4, 1990 Page: 2 #1. This franchise is for the construction, operation and maintenance of water main facilities. PUD Manager, Bob Leach, explained that this system is for an extension of the Glen Cove Water system and the addition of the Woodland Acres (across from Airport) tract to the PUD water system. Commissioner B. G. Brown stated that the only consideration for this hearing is how the PUD will be using the County road rights-of-way. Chairman George Brown opened the public hearing. Julie Jaman stated that she lives off Hastings Avenue on McMinn Road. She noted that, if interested residents had not been reading the legal notices in the paper or been keeping up with the PUD meetings, they would not know about this hearing. She asked that the County put up signs in the area where such an activity is going to occur so that people will know and can comment. She continued by stating that she represents the North Hastings Loop (which is not included in this franchise). The residents in that area several years ago, indicated that they did not want to form a Local utility District for water. Now it appears that the PUD can just get a franchise and lay pipe and then. people can pay a tap fee and get water. Providing water encourages growth. The concern is that the PUD can piggyback on to pipes that they already have, and will never have to go through the public process to approve these requests. One of the Comprehensive Plan goals is to keep growth to 4% per year and if this franchise is allowed that will have an impact on that goal. Chairman George Brown asked Bob Leach what could be done to supply water to a property owner in such an area? Bob Leach explained that if the PUD had the resources they could respond to such a request, if they did not have the resources they would have to have private funding to provide the water. Frank McNab stated that the PUD has a plan, which was accepted, that defines the area for which they will supply water. The water is needed in that area. Katherine McNab said that if not getting water would stop growth they would be willing to drill a well. She stated that using water to control growth is not appropriate. Julie Jaman asked for a clarification of item #3 in the PUD comments on this hearing. ("Application is for "blank" areas left from Glen Cove and Hastings North/South water projects as shown on maps".) Bob Leach stated that this is to consolidate the franchise area. This plan is to legally provide water to the areas that are between the Glen Cove and Hastings North and South water project areas. Hearing no further comments, Chairman Brown closed hearing. Commis- sioner B. G. Brown moved to approve Resolution No. 63-90 granting a non- exclusive franchise on County road rights-of-way to Jefferson County Public utility District #1 to construct, operate and maintain a water system. commissioner Dennison seconded the motion. The motion carried by a unanimous vote. Hearincr Notice: Petition to Vacate a Portion of Belle street in Chalmer's Second Addition: Carter Breskin explained that the Planning Commission will review this Petition to Vacate at their June 20, 1990 meeting.

Flood Control Consultants re: Accruisition of Prooerty at Bia Ouilcene River: There is a 13.17 acre tract at the end of Hiddendale Road in Quilcene that the state Department of Social and Health Services is asking that the County acquire.

Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of June 4, 1990 Page: 4 Chairman George Brown reported that he received a complaint from Dick Shold and Commissioner Dennison added that he also received a complaint on this proj ect regarding the parking requirements. Jerry smith reported that there have been more specific parking standards defined by the Jefferson County Development Code and these may be different than those that were required for Mr. Shold's project, especially since there is a showroom included in this project. The planning Commission will be reviewing this concern. Jerry smith further noted that the proposed access points are within 25 feet of street and alley intersections with Rhody Drive which is a primary arterial. A mitigative measure is proposed which will require that the Public Works department approve the plans for ingress and egress to the site. This may require that the project site be re- designed somewhat, especially the parking. The Planning Department recommends that a Mitigated Determination of Non-significance be issued on this project. Commissioner B. G. Brown suggested that Dick Shold be advised by one of the Board members that the parking standards have changed due to the adoption of the Development Code. The public will have fifteen days to comment on the SEPA determination. Commissioner B. G. Brown moved to issue a Mitigated Determination of Non-Signif icance as recommended by the Planning Department for the project proposed by Garron Petrick. commissioner Dennison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. state Environmental policy Act Review: #CC14-90 Airoort Profes- sional and storage Center: Airoort Cutoff Road (1500 South prosQect street): Paul and patricia Harder: Jerry Smith reported that this project was reviewed earlier in the year as a possible re-designation from residential to commercial. Mr. Harder withdrew that request. This new proj ect is a Planned unit Commercial Development. Commissioner Dennison stated that this project is located in an area that is under a six year building moratorium, due to a forest practices permit violation. Jerry smith reported that a Conversion Harvest Plan is required before this project can be finally approved, in accordance with County Resolution 37-90. The proponent, Jerry Smith reported, is proposing three separate businesses: 1) self storage units and managers office, 2) a design office, and 3) a construction office. In reviewing the environmental checklist, Jerry Smith, noted that the soils on this site make it unsuitable for residential use. Because of the amount of impervious surface being proposed, several dry wells are being planned to handle the stormwater runoff from the site. A septic system will be required for the managers residence and the office building. Jerry smith reported that a traffic study should be done to determine the impacts of this project and possible future developments in the same general area which would extend toward the Airport. commissioner B. G. Brown asked what the proponent means by his answer to item #26 that indicates that landscaping will include an adjacent abandoned gravel pit belonging to the County? Jerry Smith reported that the proponent is planning to use this abandoned gravel pit adjacent to his property as a buffer. commissioner Dennison asked about the three businesses that are required for the project to qualify as a Planned unit Commercial Development? The Board asked Jerry Smi th to review the number of businesses and buildings to make sure that this project meets the intent of a Planned Unit Commercial Development.
