XZIIUTBS \ Week of september 4, 1990 The meeting was called to order by Chairman George Brown at the appointed time. Commissioner B. G. Brown and Commissioner Larry Dennison were both in attendance. Bill and Anne Slater re: Wood stove Installation in a Remodelled Residence: Bill and Anne Slater and Dutch Quam, the contractor remodeling their residence, were present when Building Inspector Mike Ajax explained the issue. The remodel of the Slater's residence included removing a masonry chimney and installing a new chimney. The kitchen range and trash burner changed places and the trash burner has been placed less than the 36" away from the wall as required. An 12" to 18" clearance can be approved by the use of an approved heat shield. Dutch Quam explained that the location of the trash burner, if placed as required, would restrict movement in this area of the house. Mike Ajax reported that trash burners are untested appliances (no UL listing). Any kind of solid fuel burning appliance is considered a definite life safety hazard and the code is very specific about the regulations for them. If a variance from the Building Code is allowed, Commissioner B.G. Brown noted that the dilemma for the County is the liability, in the future, if there is fire. Mike Ajax reported that if the more expensive certified pipe and heat shield are used and the trash burner is turned, it would be closer to the wall as the Slater's are requesting. Commissioner Dennison reiterated that the Code requirements are there for protection. Mr. Slater stated that he would not have moved the trash burner if he had known that it wasn't grandfathered and would cause all of this problem. Commissioner B.G. Brown stated that the old chimney and trash burner were installed under the version of the Code that applied at the time and there would be no liability to the County if something happened. Since a change was made to the chimney, the whole thing must be brought up to the current Code. Mr. Slater stated that the main problem he sees is that the power does go out in this area and the trash burner is necessary as a backup to their electric appliances. The Slater's will work with Mike Ajax on the best way to resolve this matter. v~:~·,.;;16 lAr~nO 773 commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of September 4, 1990 Page: 2 !:::::1!:¡I:ÎIIÎ~II;·i.:¡1:Îlj:::i:i._;_~lliiliii!_11I1I:···. .. ;.;.:..:::.;..... ........... .... ..., .... . ............. ..... .. .... .......... ~~?:::}:::::::)/.:.:.:... . ~:!?~}:~::::::............................

Chanqinq of Road Names in the Alcohol LOOp Area: Bob Henderson reported that since the county has disconnected the Alcohol Loop Road assignment of addresses on the roads in this area don't make sense. The recommendation is to change Charles Avenue to Alcohol Plant Road. George Road (per the plat) will remain as named. The Board suggested that Charles, Oak, North Old Flagler Road and Magnolia Road be renamed Alcohol Loop Road because it would truly be a loop again. Then George Street would traverse the loop. This proposed change would require a public hearing because it changes the platted roads. Phil Broms. Owner of the Port Hadlock Inn: Phil Broms stated that he would like to keep the name Alcohol Plant in the road name because it has been that way for many years and it fits into their advertising. Bob Henderson will develop the necessary hearing notice for a platted road change. Establishinq Names for Private Roads: Blue Heron Point circle and Blue Heron Place: Bob Henderson reported that Phil Broms has asked that two of the private roads in his development, in the area of the Old Alcohol Plant, be named Blue Heron Point Circle and Blue Heron Place. There is currently a Blue Heron Road on Marrowstone Island which is in the same Fire District. The Sheriff and the Fire Chief from this District have reviewed this request and recommend that it be denied. Phil Broms stated that he would like these names but he understands that there could be confusion for emergency dispatch if roads have similar names.

Inc.: Associate Planner, Jim Pearson, reported that a Shoreline Permit was issued to the Taylor's on August 8, 1988 for a fish hatchery at this site on the Toandos Peninsula. They would like to remove four above ground diesel tanks and replace them with a 4,000 gallon underground tank and enlarge the existing boiler room. Jim Pearson then reviewed the envirQnmental checklist for the Board. He noted that this underground storage tank would meet all of the current federal and State regulations. The existing tanks are 50 feet from a small creek that flows into Dabob Bay and the new tank would be 110 feet from this creek. Commissioner B. G. Brown moved to issue a determination of non-sig- nificance for this Shoreline Permit Revision (SDP88-0013R) as presented. Commissioner Dennison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. state Environmental Policy Act Review: Shoreline Permit Exemption: To Construct a 60 Foot Lonq by 6 Foot wide Wood pier Ad;acent to a Sinqle Family Residence: Adelma Beach: Norman and Arne Sather: Jim Pearson reviewed the environmental checklist for this shoreline permit exemption to construct a wood pier adjacent to a single family residence on Adelma Beach. A shoreline permit exemption is allowed if the construction of the pier does not exceed $2,500.00. The materials used in the construction are considered at cost or fair market value in determining if the $2,500 limit is met. Arne Sather works for Port Townsend Paper Company and they have been doing work on their docks. The material Mr. Sather is using is salvage which was given to Company employees free of charge. Since this is salvage material the cost for this dock can be kept down below the $2,500.00. The State Department of Fisheries and Department of wildlife will review any determination that the County makes on this permi t exemption application. There are Heron on the site as well as otters. A notice of action will be published regarding this application so that comments can be received from interested residents and agencies because this is a heavily used recreational area. commissioner Dennison moved to issue a determination of non-significance on this Shoreline Permit Exemption application for Norman and Arne Sather.

The adoption of this ordinance will also allow the County to receive a portion of the boat registration fees paid to the State by County boat owners. This proposed ordinance was drafted by the Prosecuting Attorney's office and repeals most of Ordinance 3-75 which covers speed limi ts on lakes. All of the regulations in this ordinance are currently State Law or Washington State Administrative Code. Chairman Brown opened the hearing for public comment. Bob Belcher. Port Ludlow: Bob Belcher stated that he teaches boating classes for two organizations in this area and suggested the following corrections be made to the ordinance: section 2. Definitions (Number 10) - Personal Flotation Device. There is no mention that these devices should be Coast Guard approved. section 10. Underage Operators - "Provided that supervision by an adult is not required of a minor under 16 who has completed the U.S. Coast Guard Basic Boating Safety Course, Power Squadron Boating course or other recognized boating safety course, and has received a certificate therefore." The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary provides the Basic Boating Safety Course and the word "Auxiliary needs to be added to this section. The word Squadron in united States Power Squadron should be plural. section 21. Diving. There are two recognized diving flags, but only one is named in this ordinance. The red flag with the diagonal strip was developed by Scuba Divers and the International Code Flag A (or Alpha) is the legally recognized diving flag. Lisa Earnerson. Osal Marine Services: Lisa Earnerson asked the Sheriff what kind of boat is being purchased? Commissioner B.G. Brown stated that specifications for the bid process have been written and the boat that is purchased will have to meet them. The boat is one that will go on a trailer. She then asked what the need is for this vessel? Commissioner B.G. Brown stated that rescue is the main need for this boat. commissioner Dennison reminded those present that this hearing is to take testimony on the proposed boating safety ordinance, not on the Sheriff's Department purchase of a boat. Ms. Earnerson asked when the public will have a chance for input on this purchase and how the boat will be financed? She further asked how the maintenance of the boat will be paid for on an on-going basis? Sheriff Mefford reported that the grant program for the boat is an on- going grant. The grant will pay for the boat and the Sheriff's Department will provide the staffing for it as their portion of this grant. Ms. Earnerson reported that she has been in the boat towing and salvage business for eight years in this area. She noted that even though the Sheriff has said he has no interest in boat salvage, she has seen instances with other Sheriff's Departments where they end up being called out to tow a disabled boat into shore. Sheriff Mefford added that part of this grant is to work closely with the Coast Guard Auxiliary in their educational endeavors. Hearing no further comment for or against the proposed Ordinance the Chairman closed the hearing.

IDS Financial Services re: Deferred ComDensa- tion proqram for County Em~loyees: Commissioner Dennison introduced Pete Christensen of IDS Financial Services to the other Board members. He noted that Mr. Christensen is requesting that the County allow IDS Financial Services to offer a Deferred Compensation Program to county employees. Pete Christensen stated that IDS Financial Services, is a 96 year old financial planning company that has deferred compensation plans approved by the State for offering to County employees. This program would be an alternative to the deferred compensation program offered to County employees through the National Association of Counties. commissioner B.G. Brown stated that to his knowledge there haven't been any requests from employees that another alternative to the NACO plan be offered. There have been requests, however, from several other Financial Service companies that they be allowed to make offerings to County employees. Commissioner Dennison stated that a contract would have to be signed between the County and any company that offers a deferred compensation program to the County employees. He concurred with Commissioner Brown that there is no benefit to offering another plan to county employees at this time. Mark Huth.

Gardiner: Item 1: Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Mark Huth reported that the Port Townsend Paper Company landfill permit has to be rescinded because of the action by the State Pollution Control Hearings Board. The Health Department has been advised to issue them a temporary permit until the Health Board can meet to rescind the permit. Item 2: Mark Huth then reported that the attorney for Lakeside Industries has advised him that they do not intend to pursue any action regarding their complaint on the bidding process for the paving contract. Item 3: Mark Huth reported that Mr. Bandy has had trouble obtaining a bond for the repair and maintenance of the effluent line. He has however set up a savings account at a California Bank in the amount of $10,000.00 that the County can use to repair any damage done to the road by this sewer line if it is ever required. Commissioner B.G. Brown asked if the State of California laws are the same as Washington's and if the savings account can be assigned for this purpose? Mark Huth responded that he does not know California banking laws. Mr. Bandy will record an easement on the property that the house is on as well as the property where the drainfield is located. A lien would be placed against these properties if the road needs repair. Mark Huth will ask Mr. Bandy to put the money in a Washington bank. VOL "it {; rAfl! '00 77ßJ ' , ".
