Updating the Official County Road Loq: Cedar Lane in Irondale: Gary Rowe reported that a portion of Cedar Lane that goes through Portage Bay Park plat is maintained by the County but has never been part of the Official County Road Log. Both ends of Cedar Lane are on the road log, however. The road is gravel and would be maintained in that condition. commissioner B.G. Brown asked if this name change will require a public hearing since a portion of the Portage Bay Plat's Lincoln Street would be changed to Cedar Lane? The Public Works Department is researching the legal way to change names of platted streets and will report back to the Board at a later date. Iln!.

The Port Townsend School Eighth Grade classes will do this monitoring twice a month at three different stations. Eel grass monitoring will be done once a month as well. A boat is being provided by the University of Washington and is used as the local match portion of the grant. The Marine Science Center does the grant paperwork and tracking. commissioner B. G. Brown moved to approve the contract with the Marine Science Center as presented. Commissioner Dennison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Community Siqnaqe proqram (On-Dremise and Off-Dremise): Port Ludlow Development: PODe Resources: The Development Code (Subsection 6.420.22) allows a planned residential community to develop its' own sign program, Planning & Building Department Director, David Goldsmith, reported. There are two components to the signage program proposed for Port Ludlow by Pope Resources: 1) A program for signs within the development which includes community entrance signs, vil- lage/neighborhood signs, directional/ informational signs and project signs and 2) signs located outside of the communi ty which include advertising signs and directional signs. The Planning Department interprets this subsection of the Development Code to mean that the community's sign program is only to regulate signs within that particular còmmunity. Pope Resources feels that the Development Code regulation allows them to design a program for signs outside the community development, as well. David Goldsmith then reviewed the on-premise sign program proposed by Pope Resources. None of the signs within the development exceed the limitations in the Development Code. The Port Ludlow on-site signage program is an excellent example of the type of sign program that the Development Code is written to encourage. The other component of the program, off-premise signs, does not meet the requirements of the Development Code. These signs can not be over 8 feet high and 8 square feet in size if they are located outside an area designated as commercial and they are to be for directional purposes only. The Planning Department recommends that the Board deny the off premise portion of the sign program proposed by Pope Resources. David Cunningham, Pope Resources, stated that the signs at Pope Ludlow won an award for the best signs in the entire puget Sound region from the Master Builders Association. He added that the Development Code states "Planned residential communi ties may request approval of a signage plan independent of the requirements of this section. said plan shall be submitted to the Planning and Building Department which shall formulate a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners. No one sign in said plan shall exceed ninety-six (96) square feet in size or eighteen (18) feet in height." He feels this section makes it clear that Port Ludlow can develop a plan for off-premise signs as well as on- premise signs. Port Ludlow can live with no advertising signs off premise, David cunningham added. He stated that signs located on arterial roads should be allowed to be larger than 8 square feet. Sign sizes this small in arterial locations could be a traffic safety hazard. Port Ludlow can live with an off premise sign program that includes signs that have no advertising component, a limit of no more than six off premise signs and sign sizes no larger than 48 square feet. David Goldsmith stated that the question comes down to the interpreta- tion of subsection 6.420.22 of the Development Code. There is a boundary to the planned residential communi ty and the sign program should apply to that area. Why should a planned residential community ~ V(l~ I~ rAC! 00 842 . ¡ , ,. ~,\'~4f< .. · commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of October 15, 1990 Page: 3 be given an advantage over other signs in areas outside their planned community? commissioner Dennison stated that it makes sense that the Development Code language was to allow a sign program for a planned residential community to cover signs inside that community only. Greg McCrary, Pope Resource, stated that a bùsiness is more permanent. A planned community is not permanent and an off site signage program is to bring people to the community while it is developing. Once the community is full these signs would come down. These signs are only intended to be there while the project is under construction. Commis- sioner B. G. Brown stated that these signs will be used as directional signs after the community is completed. Greg McCrary stated they would be willing to accept a condition that these signs would be removed at a future date. . Commissioner B. G. Brown moved to abide by the recommendation of the Planning Department and approve the on-premise sign program and table action on the off-premise sign program until the Board has more time to review this matter. Commissioner Dennison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. state Environmental Policy Act Review and Threshold Determina- tion reI Relocation of Existina Cafe Into a Laraer Buildinq: Convert from Residential to Commercial: Jeannie's SDruce Goose Cafe Jefferson County Airport: Port of Port Townsend: Associate Planner Jerry smith reviewed the environmental checklist for the relocation of Jeannie's Spruce Goose Cafe to another building on the same site. An environmen- tal review is necessary for this relocation because the new building is in excess of 4,000 square feet. 100 parking spaces are being required for this multi-use site. commissioner B. G. Brown moved to issue a determination of non-sig- nificance and lead agency status for this project as recommended. Commissioner Dennison seconded the motion. The motion carried by a unanimous vote. * * * Mayor Brent shirley and Economic DeveloDment Council Director Bart Phillips re: Inter local Aqreement on Union Wharf: Mayor Brent Shirley came before the Board to discuss the draft interlocal agreement for the Union Wharf Project. section 7 compensation and section 10 Allocation of Rent were reviewed. Mayor Shirley stated that he is concerned that if something goes wrong with the development the city will be compensated to help cover any expenses to handle the situation. commissioner B. G. Brown stated that if the City is given additional compensation to help in that situation, then the County should not be held liable for any of those expenses. The discussion continued regarding the best way to handle the issue of management compensation, and how the proceeds from the rent will be allocated between the City and the County. Bart Phillips stated that the City should be compensated in some degree for their management activities which will include review of leases, billings, tracking and distribution of proceeds. Alternative methods of management compensa- tion were discussed. Bart Phillips recommended that section 7 be deleted and section 10 be used to allocate the expenses. Commissioner B. G. Brown expressed concerned about the wording in sections 10 and 11. As it is written the County is agreeing to pay a portion of the expenses but they have no control over determining the amount of these expenses. Commissioner Dennison stated that the City's and County's interests need to be managed. If the costs are allocated on the same formula as the rents, the City will pay 15% and the County will pay 9% of the costs. :..V~ .~fi ~AŒ'OO 843 ":M '~ '¡;", < '" , commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of October 15, 1990 Page: 4 Bart Phillips was directed to have new language drafted that would have the City and the County designate their property managers to work together on what will be included in administration and overhead costs for management. If they can not come to agreement on an item then it would be taken to the City Council and the Board to settle. Commis- sioner B. G. Brown stated that if there is ever a question in the future about the ci ty' s management of this proj ect, then there must be a mechanism to resolve such a dispute. Bart Phillips responded that Item 15 can be amended to include a dispute resolution procedure. Order Budaet AD~ropriations: Various county Departments: (See also Hearing in Minutes of October 8, 1990) Prosecuting Attorney, John Raymond; District Court Office Supervisor, Sue Dillingham; County Clerk, Marianne Walters; Juvenile Services Director, Lois Smith; District Court Probation Officer, Barb Carr; and Sheriff's Office Correc- tionslCommunications Supervisor, Ed Sasser, were all present when Commissioner Dennison reported he talked with Lee Reaves of the State Auditor's Office regarding the use of the Criminal Justice Funding. Lee Reaves stated that the Law & Justice departments must justify that their requests are for criminal and new programs to qualify for this funding. Lee Reaves will be here on November 13, to discuss this issue with the Board and the Law & Justice Committee members. Sue Dillingham reported that there are several items needed for the new District Court Courtrøom that were not included in the Facilities Management or District Court budgets. After discussion of these items the Board concurred that District Court be granted the full amount of their Law & Justice Fund request for 1990. A budget transfer of funds from salary lines to equipment lines will be submitted for this Court- room equipment. Commissioner B. G. Brown moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 102-90 ordering the budget appropriations/extensions as follows: Auditor $9,230.00; Assessor $14,220.00; Health $22,255.00; Juvenile & Family Court Services $2,200.00; Non-Departmental $5,560.00; Human Services - Substance Abuse $25,500.00; Human Services - Developmental Disabilities $9,038.00; Hotel/Motel Fund $7,500.00; Clerk $20,037.17; District Court $8,565.03; Juvenile & Family Court Services $6,450.00; prosecuting Attorney $13,000.00 and Superior Court $5,000.00.
