PUBLIC WORKS
Bid Award: Oak Bay Road project CRfJ81'2: Public Works Chief
Inspector, Tom Morello, read the recommendation from County Engineer Bob
Nesbitt on the award of the bid for the Oak Bay Road project CRØ812.
The bids were checked .and the recommendation is to award the bid to Ace
Paving Company, Inc. or Bremerton for their corrected bid of
$427,934.60. '
Ace Paving did not make their bid (according to Addendum 2 sent to all
bidders) on the correct form which resulted in an increased total bid.
However their unit price was the same and unit price is what the
contract is bid on, Tom Morello reported. When it was discovered that
Ace Paving had not submi tted a revised proposal (as requested in
Addendum 2) the question of an irregular bid was discussed with Deputy
Prosecuting Attorney, Mark Huth. Since the error by Ace paving did not
materially effect thø outcome of the bids or give them an undue
advantage in the bidding process, Mark Huth advised that the bid could
be awarded as corrected.
commissioner B. G. Brown moved to award the bid as recommended to Ace
Paving Company of Brèmerton for their corrected bid of $427,934.60.
Commissioner Dennison seconded the motion. Mark Huth advised that Mr.
peabody of Lakeside Industries and ¡his attorney, Mr. Hartwich, are
present and wish to formally protest the bid. He asked that the Board
listen to Lakeside Industries protest and coþfer with him on this matter
before any action is taken. Commissioner'.~. G. Brown withdrew his
motion and Commissioner Dennison withdrew hi~ second to the motion.

Doug Hartwich. Attornev: Mr. Hartwich explained that his firm has
submitted a letter to the Prosecuting Attorney's Office outlining why
Lakeside Industries is challenging the awarding of the bid. They feel
the bid did not conform with the bid procedures as required for a
contract to be awarded. There was an addendum sent out that changed
three of the bid items in quantity. The addendum specified that it was
a requirement of the bid that the bidders respond to it and submit it
as part of their bid. Ace Paving acknowledged that they received the
addendum, but their original bid didn't reference the addendum because
the quantities of the items were'nt the one reflected in the addendum.
It is their position that in the public bidding process, which is very
strict, there is good reason to avoid this type of irregularity in a
bid.
Mr. Hartwich added that in terms of dollars this change in quantities
of the guardrail increased the bid (at the same unit price) of the low
bidder by about $6,200.00, and they are still the low bidder. Court
cases have shown that this type of change in a bid is irregular to the
bidding process.
Mark Huth stated that is this case Ace Paving submitted an item by item
bid price. The only thing that changed was the volume. Ace Paving has
not asked to change anything on the bid. Public works has corrected the
bid proposal based on the additional quantities. Mark Huth stated that
in his opinion this does not give them a competi ti ve advantage and
therefore isn't a material irregularity.
After further discussion of this matter, Mr. Hartwich asked why the
County would put out an addendum if it is not meant to be a binding
addendum, especially when it was emphasized in the addendum that it must
be part of the bid proposal?
Commissioner B. G. Brown stated that he doesn't know why the Public
Works Department put out the addendum.
Georae Peabody. Manager of Lakeside Industries: Mr. Peabody stated that
the addendum said "2. Enclosed is a revised proposal. This revised
proposal is required to be used for bidding in lieu of the original
proposal." When Ace Paving acknowledged that addendum they are saying
they would use that new proposal. They did not do that and their bid
should be null and void.
Tom Morello explained that the addendum was sent out because there were
errors on the original proposal and plans. A consultant did the work
for the county on this and they neglected to include some of the
guardrail on the plans and bid $pecifications.
George Peabody stated that Lakeside is not asking to be awarded this job
as second bidder. They are aSking that the bid be thrown out and the
project be re-bid by all bidders. Commissioner B. G. Brown asked what
a re-bidding process would do to the project time table? Tom Morello
reported that the plans would have to be changed and new specifications
put out so that it is not the same as the project already bid. If the
project is left the same all the bidders have already shown their bid
information. It would be another month before the bid could be awarded.
commissioner Dennison moved to table action on this bid award until the
Board can discuss the matter with the Deputy Prosecuting Attorney.
Commissioner B. G. Brown seconded the motion. The motion carried by a
unanimous vote.
Franchise to construct. operate and Maintain a Water Line on
county Road Riqhts-of-WaV and Well protection Radius: Black Point Road:
Sam Bolinq. Aoolicant: (See also Minutes of August 13, 1990) Deputy
Prosecuting Attorney, Mark Huth, reported that the discussion is whether
Mr. Boling needs an easement for the well protection area that is on the
right-of-way and to make sure that this area would not be encroached on
by building or other development. The State requires Mr. BOling to
draft a covenant to run with the land to protect the well protection
area as part of their approval of his public water system. Because of
this requirement, Mark Huth reported thàt he has asked the Public Works
'. ..

Department to add this to a proposed resolution to grant Mr. Boling the
Franchise.
Mark Huth reported further that the County Engineer reviewed Mr.
Boling's plan wi th regard to determining an amount for a Bond as
requested by the Board. He recommends that a bond of $100,000 to insure
construction and maintenance and any problems that would arise from the
operation of this system on the County right-of-way. Mr. Boling has
been advised of the bond requirements and that he must comply with
Ordinance #2-81; he must obtain all required permits; and he must supply
the County with copy of all documents he is required to file with state.
Mark Huth recommended that the Board take no action on this franchise
application until Mr. Boling can provide proof that he can get the
necessary bond.
Sam Boling: Mr. Boling asked that the franchise be approved contingent
that he obtain the required bond. He does not want to have to obtain
a bond for a franchise that might not be approved.
Mark Huth added that the County could approve the franchise contingent
on Mr. Boling meeting all of the conditions outlined.
Bill Goodhue: Mr. Goodhue asked if the bond would run for the term of
the water line franchise? Mark Huth stated that the bond is to cover
maintenance and operation of the water system for the franchise term.
Public Works Director Gary Rowe: Gary Rowe reported that there is a
provision in the County Coordinated Water System Plan where the Public
utility District is a backup for any privately owned water system in the
County. The PUD would take over the water system if this franchise were
not renewed after its' term.
Commissioner B. G. Brown stated that he feels the bond should be issued
in phases. Why would you need the cost of the construction to be
included in the bond once the system is built? Mark Huth responded that
if the water system failed completely at least the amount of the
original construction would be needed to rebuild it. Replacement cost
is what the ordinance requires.
commissioner B. G. Brown stated that Mr. Boling has to get State
approval through Department of Health to operate this water system.
As far as running the water lines down road with a franchise, the County
requires a franchise thelòcation of all the water lines is known. That
way if work must be done, or if there is eruption and damage to road
the County knows who is responsible for it.
Mark Huth stated that is correct, the bond is for potential damage to
county property and that the amount of the bond is based on the total
cost of construction of the water system as a method of estimating
costs. He stated that he has no recommendation as to whether the Board
approve this franchise or not, only that the Board make findings as to
the pUblic's best interest. Mark Huth will draft the findings of fact
which need to include that the franchise is in the public interest.
These facts will be developed from the pUblic testimony taken at the
hearing.
Sam BOling: Mr. Boling stated that there is a chance that after he gets
all of this franchise taken care of there may not be any water in the
well. If that is the case he wants his bond back. Mark Huth stated
that if there is no franchise there is no need for the bond.
Bill Goodhue: Mr. Goodhue asked that the County furnish Mr. Boling with
a list of acceptable bonding companies. Mark Huth responded that the
Ordinance requires that a State Certified surety be used. The County
cannot provide any more information than that to Mr. Boling regarding
bonding companies.
This matter will be considered again on September 4, 1990.

PLANNING AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT
HEARING re: Plat Amendment: Ocean Grove 3: Plat Adiacent to
Beckett Point Road: Associate Planner Jerry smith reviewed the petition
to amend the platted right-of-way in Ocean Grove Plat #3 for the Board
and several interested area residents. This plat is adjacent to Beckett
Point Road. The road was not constructed in the platted right-of-way.
After the plat was approved and recorded the road was constructed so
that it encroached on Lots 11 and 12 of the plat. This amendment to the
plat would shift the right-of-way 30 feet to the east so that it
coincides with the location of the road.
Jerry Smith then reviewed the findings, agency responses, testimony,
conclusions and recommendation for this plat amendment. The Planning
Department recommends approval of this plat amendment with two condi-
tions: 1) A revised drawing of the approved alteration be prepared
which will be filed with the County Auditor after the Board's approval
and 2) Location of the power pole anchor be verified and a utility
easement be granted for it. The Planning Department feels this
amendment will benefit the pUblic use and interest.
Chairman Brown opened the hearing for publïc comment.

Frank Vane. President. Ocean Grove Owners Association: Frank Vane
explained that he filed this request for the plat amendment. It was
discovered that the road was misplaced several years ago. Lot 12 had
lost area because of the road encroachment. Half of Lot 11 was deeded
to Lot 12 to make it the original square footage. The remaining portion
of Lot 11 was not suitable for building so it was sold as a reserve
drainfield site for lot 3. Lots 4, 5, and 6 have all gained land. He
reported everyone in the Lot Owners Association is satisfied with this
process.
Hearing no further comment for or against this proposed amendment,
Chairman Brown closed the hearing. Jerry smith reported that a notice
to the ti tIe of Lot 11 was filed when the lot was di vided which
indicates that it is not suitable for building.
Commissioner B.G. Brown moved to approve the amended plat of Ocean Grove
Subdivision #3 with the conditions as recommended and to sign the
findings and conclusions. Commissioner Dennison seconded the motion
which carried by a unanimous vote. Mark Huth explained to Mr. Vane
that he would have to supply the proper documents, including the mylar
before this plat amendment is official.
Setback Variance to Construct Six Detached Garaqes at Kala Laaoon '
Condominium proiect: Kala point: Laqoon Associates. Applicant:
Associate Planner Jerry smith explained that this request is for a
setback variance for the six detached garages of the Kala Lagoon
Condominium project. A 15 foot variance is requested from the access
road. The shoreline setback requirement doesn't leave enough land to
accommodate the design of the homes and the garages. Also the grade of
the land is fairly steep. Meeting the shoreline setback has resulted
in pushing the buildings uphill on the property leaving the detached
garages within five feet of the access road.
Jerry 'Smith then reviewed the criteria for granting a variance which
include that a hardship is created by the property and whether or not
there are any unusual conditions or circumstances of the property that
are not shared by neighboring properties. The Planning and Department
conclusions are:
a) The minimum building setbacks established by the
Shoreline Permit create extraordinary conditions on
the property.
b) Compliance with the Shoreline setbacks and the
minimum 20 foot setback from the access street
restricts reasonable use of the property for de-
velopment of the residential units and the detached
garages.
c) The sloping nature of the property has a direct
bearing on the usability of the property.
d) The proximity of the lagoon to this site is unique
and the surrounding properties do not share the same
condition. .
The Planning and Building Department recommends approval of this request
with the condition that a letter is received from the Fire District
indicating that they have no problem with the project in terms of fire
protection.
Chairman George Brown asked if there were any comments . Renate Wheeler,
Lagoon Associates, explained that the main road for access to Kala Point
is Sail view Drive which is owned by the Homeowners Association. The
access road to this development is owned by Lagoon Associates. This
road is a cul-de-sac with very easy turn around.
Ted Rogers reported that he submitted a letter to the Board regarding
this development and his concern that the requirements with respect to
the buffer zone adjacent to the lagoon have been violated. He and
several other homeowners 'want to make sure that the lagoon is not
endangered by the construction. Renate Wheeler stated. that they are

complying with all Shoreline requirements as set out by Associate
Planner Jim Pearson.
Fred Grove, Architect, explained the hardship the shoreline setback and
the grade of the property cause on the development of this property.
Planning and Building Director, David Goldsmith, explained that the
Shoreline Permit required a buffer along the Lagoon side of the develop-
ment. Part of that requirement is that several trees were to be removed
by hand, but they were actually removed with a backhoe. Jim Pearson
went to the site after complaints were received and determined that the
intent of the buffer was maintained. The buffer was re-planted.
Commissioner B.G. Brown moved to approve the setback variance· as
recommended, due to the findings of fact and conclusions presented.
Commissioner Dennison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous
vote.
HEARING re: EmerqencY Exceotion to the Jefferson county Develoo-
ment Code: To continue ooeration until october 31. 1990 of the Shotwell
Gravel pit: Hastinas Avenue and Cape Georae Road: Lakeside Industries.
Aoolicant: David Goldsmith, Planning and Building Director explained
that Lakeside Industries began some rock crushing about a month ago at
the gravel pit, known as the Shotwell pit, located near the Cape George
Wye. This work was started because Lakeside Industries is supplying
overlay material for a couple of project in the County. There were
complaints from adjacent residents about the operations at the pit (the
noise levels, dust and environmental issues concerning ground pollution
from asphalt processing) Upon investigation it was found that the rock
crushing activity is defined as industry under the Development Code and
the pit is in an area that is designated residential. A stop work order
was placed on the project and then lifted to allow time for review of
several issues:
* Is this activity a grandfathered activity at this
pit?
'* There are other gravel pits in the County where the
same problem will occur with regard to rock crush-
ing.
'* A gravel pit is exempt under the Development Code
if there is a surfacing mining permit. The proces-
sing (crushing) of the gravel is not exempt because
it is defined as industry.
'* The manufacturing (turning the crushed rock into
asphalt or concrete) is considered industrial.
'* Industrial operations have to occur in an industrial
designated area or in a resource area.
Looking into these matters will take time, David Goldsmith added, and
asked that as a short term measure, this operation be considered an
exception to the rules for the next 90 days. David Goldsmith then read
the following passage from Section 5.620 of the Development Code:
"Exceptions from the administrative procedures portion of this Ordinance
may be granted by the Board of Commissioners. No exception shall be
granted unless the Board shall first determine that the exception is a
bona fide emergency situation that is not caused by lack of foresight
by the applicant. The Board also finds that the emergency exception is
in keeping with the general intent of the Ordinance and the public
health, safety and welfare would not be adversely affected thereby. In
granting exceptions the Board may require its' own conditions which in
its' judgment will secure substantially the administrative procedures
or requirements so varied. Exceptions shall be non-renewable and shall
be granted for a specific period of time. Public notice is given."
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, Mark Huth, reviewed a letter from Short
Cressman & Burgess, Attorneys for Lakeside Industries, which outlined
their request for the granting of this exception or a determination that
the activity in this pit is grandfathered. He added that he feels there
is an advantage to the County granting the exception because it gives
the County the opportunity to assure that the pit is operated in a way
that conforms to the public safety, health and welfare. Originally
wr.: 16 rAtE 00 749
j,!!IIi);:"
commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of August 27, 1990
Page: 8
there were complaints about noise and dust. There is a state law which
prohibits excessive levels of noise, and it was found the noise levels
were exceeded. Lakeside Industries has attempted to address the
concerns. If the exception is granted conditions can be imposed and the
activities can be monitored, however if the activities are considered
to be grandfathered the only power the county has over them are general
policing powers if a state law is violated with regard to noise, air or
water pOllution.
Mark Huth noted that if all of the gravel pi ts in the county are
considered as grandfathered uses, then the County would have to amend
the Development Code to address the general problems that would occur
throughout the County where a gravel pit is located in a residential
area.
Chairman George Brown opened the hearing for public comment.
Carter Breskin: Carter Breskin stated that a letter which she had sent
to Mr. Peabody (with a copy to the Board) lists her concerns about air
pollution, noise control, ground pollution and dust control. She
doesn't have a strong objection to the work continuing at the pit until
October 31, as long as strict controls are maintained and the operation
is monitored closely by the County.
Joe Breskin: Joe Breskin stated that he is in favor of granting an
emergency exception on this and that the County maintain control over
the process. He stated that they have lived opposite the pit for a long
time.
Bob Wheeler. Public Works Director. City of Port Townsend: Bob Wheeler
reported that the City of Port Townsend has an interest in keeping the
pit in operation until October 31 to finish several projects. The city
would also be concerned about the cost of hauling asphal t if the
exception is not granted. Sequim or Port Angeles are the closest
alternative sources.
Marly Yourish: Marly Yourish stated that she lives a minimum of 1,300
feet through the woods from the gravel pit. She described the noise
level and her concern for the environmental issues, including fumes from
the asphalt processing and groundwater contamination. She sees a great
deal of growth in residences in the area in the future and feels that
the long term affects should be taken into consideration. She feels
that the processing should be moved to a non-residential area.
Tom Beavers. ERA Olympic Real Estate: Mr. Beavers wrote a letter to
express his concern about the noise and dust and the importance of
buffering to protect property and residences in neighborhood.
George Peabody. Manager of Lakeside Industries: George Peabody stated
that he thought it was important to work together with the residents in
the area to solve the problems. He then explained the history of the
Shotwell pit. He said that the rock had been stockpiled for about nine
years until this summer, when they had to resume crushing. They have
finished crushing to date and have stockpiled enough rock to last about
four years. He also said a different crusher would be used next time.
As far as the asphalt plant operation is concerned, Mr. Peabody stated
that he feels taking the rock to another site to be processed would
create more traffic on the roads by doubling trucking time and increase
the cost of the asphalt.
Carter Breskin: Carter Breskin cautioned that the City and County to
take more into consideration than just the costs involved if there is
a need to require that the asphalt plant be moved to a non-residential
area. She questioned if a crusher can be operated at that site within
the State noise requirements?
Georae Peabody: Mr. Peabody responded that Lakeside Industries operates
rock crushers allover western Washington and he cannot believe they are
all out of compliance with the State noise regulations. Lakeside will
make every attempt to operate a crusher at this site within the State
''ff1t 16 ~Atf 00 750
Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of August 27, 1990
Page: 9
noise law. In the future a rock crusher or asphalt plant would be
placed on the site in a location that would be as far away from the
nearby residences as possible.
Doua Hartwich. Attornev for Lakeside Industries: Doug Hartwich read the
exemption for gravel pits from the Development Code. He also reminded
the Board about the closeness of the pit and how that helps keep the
cost of the finished product down. To try and separate the rock
crushing and the asphalt manufacturing from the excavation, is unreàlis-
tic Mr. Hartwich added. In terms of what the County should do long
range, Mr. Hartwich stated that Lakeside can't do a job in this com-
muni ty and be competitive in the market unless they can do future
planning. He also said that the decision to move the processing would
effect bids on future projects. He would like to see the Shotwell pit
and the processing that is done there grandfathered to allow Lakeside
to plan their activities.
Marly Yourish: Marly Yourish added that before an industrial use is
placed in a residential area, the County should look at what population
density is recommended for the area in the County Comprehensive Plan.
David Goldsmith: David Goldsmith reported that this area is designated
as Suburban/Residential which allows five units per acre density.
Hearing no further comment, Chairman George Brown closed the public
hearing.
Commissioner B. G. Brown stated that the legal question regarding
whether this operation is grandfathered at this site or not is a matter
that the Prosecuting Attorney must review. This operation is only one
of many in the County that will have to be addressed. Commissioner B.
G. Brown moved to table the issue of whether this site is grandfathered
and to grant an emergency exception to the Development Code until
October 31, 1990. Commissioner Dennison seconded the motion which
carried by a unanimous vote. Mark Huth stated that he and Mr. Hartwich
will develop findings and conclusions for the Board to sign.
Extension of Te_porarv Occupancy: Recreational Vehicle Camoer
Club: Anderson Lake Road. Chimacum: Everqreen Coho Escapee Retreat:
Associate Planner Jerry Smith reported that this request from the Board
of the Evergreen Coho Escapee Retreat is to renew their temporary
occupancy permit. The preliminary binding site plan was approved in
September of 1988 with several conditions. All of the conditions have
been met except the construction and pavement of the acceleration lane,
the storm drain facilities, the final pavement of the roadways and the
submission of the as-built drawings for the on-site septic system to the
Health Department for approval. The Planning Department recommends that
the temporary occupancy permit be extended until the expiration of the
preliminary binding site plan which is september 19, 19910 This will

suggested that a form be developed that can be taken by the veteran to
the VA Hospi tal and signed off by their staff to prove that they
actually went to the hospital.

Commander of the veterans organizations would have to require such a
form. The Board cannot enforce this type of requirement.
