Dennison were both present. BUSINESS FROM COUNTY DEPARTMEJft'S SHERIFF Sheriff Me1 Mefford. re: Boatina safety Procrram and County Ordinance: Sheriff Mefford reported that Washington State Parks approved full funding of a patrol boat, provided the County adopts rules and regulations by ordinance which are consistent with the Washington State Boating Laws. The grant, if acceptable, will cover boat, travel, training, repair, and goods and services for the Boating Safety Program. The County has until .July 29, 1990 to determine whether or not to accept a grant on the stated conditions. After a discussion regarding the requirements for funding, the need for the Boating Program, and the benefit to the County, the Board directed Sheriff Mefford to discuss the proposed grant and a draft. ordinance wi th the Prosecuting Attorney and report back. BtJMAJf SERVICES Human Services Administrator Ella Sandvig re: Reauest for Additional Fundina for Human Services Deuarbnent : Eight interested citizens were present when Ella Sandvig, Human Services Administrator, presented a list of problems experienced within the substance abuse program. Issues discussed were the 4 ...,. 5 week waiting list; the need for 7 day, 24 hour services; exceeding Washington Administrative Code limitations on counselor to client contact; re~~ests for services and funding for West End Outreach Services; limited detoxification services: coordination between the service providers; and explanations of the current community and agency needs. Ella Sandvig reported that in order to provide 7 day, 24 hour services, reduce the waiting list to 3 -4 weeks, and increase the funding for the west end, an additional $20,208 is needed to provide services beginning August 1, 1990. The projected yearly need would be $48,500 more than is currently budgeted. .Yl\l 16 iAf)~ 00 520 Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of 3u1y 16, 1990 Page: 2 Pat Bogan, Nursing Director for .Jefferson General Hospital, commented that the non-medical detoxification admissions are only during regular h01.1.rs. The frustrating aspect is that when an admission comes in on Friday night and is released Sunday morning, there are neither counselors nor support people for the:tn. She believes there must be a back up service for the non-medical detoxification clients. Ella sandvig noted that the County has three qualified counselors with case loads of 100 clients each. The average case load is 30 - 40 clients in other counties; it is 45 in Ki tsap County. She explained that if there is one counselor on sick leave and one on vacation, the remaining counselor has to manage a case load of 300 clients. Human Services has lost two counselors because they felt over-worked. Chester Prudhomme, Director of Alcohol « Substance Abuse Program, noted that when involuntary commitments occur, there are at least 3 full workdays for investigation, filing, paperwork, prosecution needs, and hearings for the case. With three of these cases going now, a third of a month is used just for this one aspect of the program. He explained that because the case load is too much to juggle, everything suffers and people are notable to get help when they want and need it. Some go back onto the street, and others go through detoxification in jail. Chester Prudhomme noted that there are 300 new cases each year and that there is a high referral rate from the hospital, which is the best place for a medical detoxification. A protective environment where detoxification services and counseling could be provided is recommended, but the State says that the County must have 12 full beds all the time to have a Social Detoxification Center. This alternative is considered expensive to maintain. He also noted that the average cost per hour of counseling treatment is $57.00. The average client contribution, on a sliding scale, is $10 to $12. A large number of people going through the court system have drug and alcohol related problems. John Raymond, Prosecuting Attorney, explained that every person convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol must go for counseling through the Alcohol « Substance Abuse program and that the deferred program also has some requirements. He noted that he has not completed a study of the impact on the Drug « Alcohol Program. Ella Sandvig expressed concern regarding the 1 imi ted space in the Human Services Department and explained that it may be necessary to have four day weeks and rotate offices. She also stated that if additional funding cannot be found anywhere, there may be a need to decide what it is that the County will not provide. She questioned the Board on the possibility of receiving Law « .Justice funding for the program due to the increase in court mandated referrals.

PLAlRŒIfG AIm BUILDnfG HEAR.:IIfG re: Conditional Use ADDlication: Develo'DJDent of the AirDOrt Professional and Storaøe Center as a Planned Unit Commercial Develol)Jll.ent (PUCD): West Side of Airuort CUtoff Road: Paul and Patricia Harder: Six interested area residents were present when Planning Director, David Goldsmith, and Associate Planner, Jerry Smith, reviewed the conditional use application for the development of a professional and storage center on Airport Cutoff Road. Jerry Smith explained that the application went before the Planning Commission. There was concern about keeping the area residential until public input could be sought, and concern about the "domino effect" which could occur with development in a residential area. The proponent, Mr. Harder, suggested that his request be tabled until the completion of a recommended plan and study of the area. The Planning Commission took this application off the table and recommends denial due to finding that this proposed Planned Unit Commercial Development is contrary to the stated policies of the Tri-Area Community Plan. Chairman George Brown opened the public hearing for comment. Bill Lindeaan explained that he represents the Kala Point Development Company. His primary concern is that granting this application would mean that a major variance to the existing Tri-Area Community Plan would be created. He noted that the Plan sets forth the area between the Airport and Four Corners as residential with the exception of approval of planned commercial· development. He is concerned that the Planning Commission will have a difficult time with strip development if the request is approved. .':"". 523 . VOL 16 .tn~ 00 commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week· of July 16, 1990 Page: 5 Bill Cartwright explained that he is the Chairman and representative of the Environmental Affairs Committee, which reports directly to the Kala Point Homeowners Board. He stated he is not directly opposed to the Harder proposal but the Committee is concerned that if this Planned Unit Commercial Development were approved it could set a precedent for strip development all the way into Port Townsend. He stated that it is not compatible with the Tri-Area Plan and that it could cause a "domino effect" in which adjacent property owners would want to be commercial as well. Sam swanson explained that he wants to clarify the Planning Commission's concerns, and to explain why the Planning Commission made a recommendation for denial instead of tabling the proposal. The Planning Commission found that strip development in the area is against the Tri-Area Plan. He suggested considering whether or not to bypass the Airport area for development because of traffic needs. The Planning Commission found no extenuating circumstances in the proposal which would make it an exception to the Plan. Technically the Planned Unit Development is one business, as the proposed mini-storage ·and one of the businesses would be owned by the proponent. The Commissionqllestions are: Does the issue need to be studied or does the COtUlty stand with the Tri-Area Community Plan? Does the Tri-Area Plan need a revision? Does the Airport Cutoff area need its own Plan? Gene Seton explained that other Planned Unit Developments didn't go through because area residents didn't want them. He stated that this development shouldn't go through, because if it did it would set a new precedent. His suggestion is that the Board go with the Planning Commissian recommendation to deny the conditional use proposed. . Tom Graves stated that he believes that the proposed use is the best use for the property, but that he'd proposed the same thing a few months ago. He feels that you cannot let one person go with a project and deny another, that it should be "black and whi te" . He felt that there should be a zoning ordinance and noted that the Plan says "no" to this kind of development, some people have been told "no", and that other people should also be told "no". Chairman George Brown closed the public hearing, hearing no further public comment. David Goldsmith explained that the Tri-Area Plan was completed in 1982 and the Comprehensive Plan was finished in 1978. He reviewed the criteria for the Board to consider in making a decision. Commissioner Dennison noted that the proposal does not meet criteria # 1, #2,01' # 3; that it could generate unacceptable impacts beyond the property boundaries; that it could cause erasion to the purpose and intent of the Tri-Area Plan; and that the proposal would be contrary to the overall Plan. Cammissioner Dennison moved to deny the proposed Conditional Use application for the Airport Professional and Storage Center as recommended by the Planning C·ommission based on the findings of facts. Commissioner B.G. Brown seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Sam swanson expressed his concern regarding the communications between the Planning Commissian and the PublicWarks and Planning Departments.
