Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of December 17, 1990 Page: 2 The following agency responses were received: Public Works: Recommend denial because potential development in the area could create a need for an improved road and 30 feet will not allow for a road to be constructed to minimum standards. Assessor: The assessed value of the area to be vacated is $3,780.00. Compensation at the rate of 50% of the assessed value would be $1,890.00. SheriffJEmergency Services: Expressed concern that there be adequate turn around space for a fire truck. Puget Power: There are electric facilities in the area for which Puget Power will obtain easements. Fire District #3: Requests that a 15 foot wide roadway to the beach be main- tained for emergency vehicles. Jefferson County PUD #1: There is a need for corridors for all utilities in this area in the future. There is a State requirement for a minimum. of 10 feet separation between any sewer and water facilities and this would be difficult to accomplish in a 30 foot wide corridor that must also contain electrical, telephone, and transportation facilities. Planning and Building: This area is designated as suburban by the County Comprehensive Plan. The existing right-of-way provides access to a platted community beach. As an alternative, lots could be combined or lot lines could be adjusted to provide sufficient area for a septic drainfield. The testimony given to the Planning Commission was then reviewed as well as the Planning Commission recommendation for denial of the vacation. The Chairman asked if there were any comments for or against this proposed vacation. Michael Dean: Michael Dean stated that he owns property at the beach end of South Bayview Drive. There was no dedication on the plat regarding the community beach. He owns the lot which is designated as "community beach". Mr. Reitz property and properties 26 through 33 are limited because of their size and the setback requirements for wells and septic systems. Mr. Dean stated that he is in favor of this vacation. Narrowing the road would help Mr. Reitz and not adversely affect his property. Commissioner Dennison stated that there are other alternatives for Mr. Reitz to look into regarding his septic system. Chairman Brown closed the public hearing. Commissioner Dennison moved to adopt the Planning Commission (mdings and to deny the road vacation as recommended for the reasons as outlined by the Public Works Department. Commissioner B. G. Brown seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.

Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of December 17, 1990 Page: 4 Practices Specialist who will handle any questions or issues dealing with Forest Practices in this area. He then introduced Mike Cronin who deals with all questions regarding state managed lands and Russ Holt who takes care of regulating surface mining permits. Mr. Miller noted that reforestation is a top priority in this area for the DNR. Vail Case noted that he lives in Port Angeles and serves the whole District which runs from Brinnon and includes a portion of Clallam County. He can be reached by calling the DNR's regional office in Forks. In response to the residents present from the Middlepoint area, he explained that the Forest Practices regulations read "removal of less than 5,000 board feet of timber for any personal use in a 12 month period is a Class 1 forest practice" which does not require a permit. The regulation says specif- ically "removal" of timber. The· majority of the trees felled on the site at Middlepoint were due to surveying which is not dermed as a forest practice. He did not feel there was a forest practice violation on this site. Forest Practices basically relate to timber harvesting, which he added, has not been done on this site. The property owner is aware that he would need a Forest Practice Permit to harvest timber on the site. Commissioner Dennison stated that he is not clear about how Forest Practices handle the issue of a threatened or endangered species on a site? Vail Case stated that if a property that has a Forest Practices Permit application filed, is found to have an endangered or threatened species on it, an environmental review is done on the permit application. The County would have an opportunity to provide input and could be the lead agency for Class IV Forest Practices Permits which indicate a conversion from the Forest designation. In response to a letter from the Phmning Department (from Director David Goldsmith) regarding reforestation of the Golden Springs property on the Coyle Peninsula, Vail Case noted that reforestation has been started on the east side of the property. The west side of the property is all brush and will take a concerted effort to reforest. The DNR is working with the land owner on this matter. Commissioner Dennison asked how the regulations deal with viability of re-plants in a reforested area? Vail Case read from the regulation which states that a certain number of the seedlings must survive at least one growing season to be considered within the intent of the regulation. He noted that he doesn't have the time to check exactly how many trees are growing in any particular area. His check, if it is done, is to see that trees have been planted. David Goldsmith asked how the DNR then manages the eIÛorcement of the reforesta- tion regulations? Vail Case noted that they usually have to wait until they have a complaint about a permit. The DNR can require that the applicant supply certification that the re-planting has been done. Don Miller noted that areas around populated regions and five acre tracts are a real problem for them to track. Chairman Brown opened the meeting to the public for questions: Q. What if an applicant takes timber off a site that is over what was indicated (as a percentage) on the permit and it infringes on their neighbors rights? A. The question on the permit about what percentage of the timber will be removed is an estimate on the part of the land owner. This question is there to trigger when reforestation will be required. Reforestation is required if more than 50% of the timber is to be harvested. Q. How wide a strip of trees can be taken for survey work? A. A licensed surveyor would determine how many trees would need to be removed. Incidental falling of timber is allowed. David Goldsmith reported that the County does not have an ordinance that prohibits a private property owner from surveying their property. The discussion continued regarding the possible development of the piece of property at Middlepoint. The discussion included suggestions that the County define a preliminary plat procedure; a survey of the area for endangered or threatened species be required and the possibility ~ VQ.L 16fACf 00. qV'ji';} "--' if IJJ _.,¡, :. -:;:r:,~ç Ii ~~n -.,.,. i.~~,,::--t '-- .t Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of December 17, 1990 Page: 5 of the County placing a moratorium on any development of the property in question at Middlepoint until the issues brought up can be resolved.
