These roads are all in the same postal area, even though they are in different fire districts, and this could cause problems.

State Environmental Policy Act Review: Floating Shellfish Culture Project: Port Townsend Bay Off Indian Island.: Neptune OYster Farm: Assistant Planner Jim Pearson explained that this proposal is to install a floating shellfish cultivation project in Port Townsend Bay. The site is located between Crane Point and the Portage Canal Bridge, about 500 feet offshore of Indian Island. Chris Reuelle representing Neptune Oyster Farms, was present. .'t'l 15" h'<:~ on 2 ~ Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of January 3, 1989 Page: 3 Two plastic salmon net pens will be used for the shellfish cultivation. The site would be served by a small boat. In addition to the Shoreline Permit this project will need a' hydraulic permit from the State Department of Fisheries: a DNR aquatic lands lease; an Army Corps of Engineers permit and a Coast Guard Navigation permit. Jim Pearson then reviewed the environmental checklist. Aquaculture is a primary use in this area as designated by the Shoreline Management Master Program. A Shoreline Permit issued for this purpose on this site in the past (SSDP #14-77). The site is adjacent to the tug and barge route through Portage Canal into Port Townsend Bay and the Tugboat Association will be asked to comment on this proposal. Jim Pearson further explained that the County's aquaculture moratorium is only on salmon net pens, not on shellfish. This permit, if issued, would be used only for shellfish cultivation and if the use of the net pen changed it would require a new permit. One mitigative measure is suggested that would require that Coast Guard approved navigation- al aids be installed. Jim Pearson added that since this is a primary use of the shoreline the Shoreline Commission is not required to review this project. Commissioner Dennison moved to issue a mitigated determination of non- significance and lead agency status. Commissioner George Brown seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. State Environmental Policy Act Review: Intertidal Shellfish Racks: Killapie Beach on Suquamish Harbor of Hood Canal: Sea Garden, Applicant: This proposed project, Jim Pearson explained, is to install 800 (3 foot by 10 foot) shellfish cultivation racks on the tidelands of Killapie Beach. Jan Shriner has the same type of project in an area adjacent to this site. The racks would be constructed of steel rebar or PVC pipe and be placed on the tidelands. The project would be done in two phases with phase 1 being 400 racks placed by December 1989 and another 400 racks in Phase 2 to be placed by December 1990. Jim Pearson then reviewed the environmental checklist for this project. The shoreline program designation for this area is Conservancy and Aquatic. The project proponents explained that the racks will project one foot above the tidelands. Jim Pearson advised that there are no residences with a view of these tidelands and that there is a building moratorium on the upland property in this area. One mitigative measure will require that the structure be marked for navigation as required by the U.S. Coast Guard. Commissioner George Brown asked about how high winds will affect this project. Mr. Radovich stated that the only problem caused by storms is from debris that is blown into the area. Commissioner George Brown moved to issue a mitigated determination of non- significance and lead agency status. Commissioner Dennison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Jim Pearson added that since this isa primary use of the shoreline the Shoreline Commission is not required to review this project. Jim Pearson will bring the comments ~eceived on this project and the Neptune" Oyster Farm project before the Board for their consideration. State Environmental Policy Act Review: Proposed Revisions to the Flood Plain Management Ordinance: (See also Minutes of December 27, 1988) Jim Pearson stated that he checked with the State Department of Ecology and the new Coastal High Hazard Section meets the State qualifications as proposed. There . are areas in Quilcene as well as in Port Townsend and Brinnon that would be affected by this section. He then reviewed the environmental checklist for the Board. A public hearing has to be held by the County before these changes can be adopted and they must be adopted before April 1989. .'- 15 ~':~~i 00 3 . . ~ ,.
