FACILITIES MANAGEMERT Discussion of Appraisal of the Multi-Services Building: The appraisal on the Multi-Services Building has been received, Property Manager Carter Breskin reported. The bui Iding is appraised at $450,000.00. The Hospital Board has a copy of this appraisal. A needs assessment is being done for the space required by the departments that are housed in this building. PLAllHIHG AND BUILDING Am""l1ding Residential Setback Line for Lot 173: Kala Point Division g: Planning Department David Goldsmith reported that this is a request for an amend the Plat of Division #3 of Kala Point, specifically Lot 173. Kala Point Division #3 was developed in the late 1970's and the setback from the waters edge was set at 150 feet. In subsequent plats at Kala Point, geologic studies were conducted to determine what the setback really should be based on the geologic stability of the ground. From Division #3 toward old Fort Totlfnsend State Park (1/4 of a mile) a 50 foot setback was established based on the geologic review. Lot 173 sits at the end of Division #3 and adjacent to where the new setback line was established. The change in setback resulted in an inequity in the view enjoyed by Lot 173 and adjoining parcels. Lot 172 has an existing structure built out to the current setback line of about 115 feet and the first lot of the adjacent Kala Heights division (a condominium lot) has a building developed to its setback line. If the 150 foot setback line is used on Lot 173 it would set the building back in a sort of tunnel created by the structures on either side of it. The request is that the setback for Division #3, Lot 173 be modified to provide a transition between the 115 foot setback and the 50 foot setback. . A geologic report was completed for lot 173 which assures that the geologic structure is the same as what was found in the condominium lots. The Kala Point Homeowners Association has reviewed the proposed setback and concurs that this setback variance will allow the best use of the property, David Goldsmith concluded. \./ :):.. 15 [~(.~ 00.0568 Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of March 13, 1989 Page: 4 Commissioner Dennison moved to approve Resolution No. 23-89 amending the residential setback line for Lot 173, Kala Point, Division #3. Commissioner B. G. Brown seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. State Environaental PolicY Act Review and Preliainarv SUbdivision ADDroval: Taaanaaus Recreational Vehicle Park: Anderson Lake Road: Ralph Ii Mary Theriault: , (See also Minutes of February 21, 1989) Senior Planner Rachel Nathanson explained that projects like the Tamanamus Recreational Vehicle Park undergo two reviews: 1) a State Environmental Policy Act Review and 2) the Planning Commission and staff review. The Board tabled action on the SEPA review forth~s project because more information was needed on the need for a traffic impact study. Rachel Nathanson then reviewed the staff findings and Planning Commission review of the project. This project is to develop a recreational vehicle park on fourteen and one half acres in Chimacum on Anderson Lake Road as a 100 unit recreational vehicle park with an additional ten sites for tents. The park is designed as two parcels. Parcel A will be used for the RV sites,. shower, restroom and laundry facilities. Parcel B will be the area used for the drainfield and reserve drainfield. The area between these two parcels is owned by the Theriaults and is currently designated as open space timber and the project proponent would like to keep it in that designation and continue to use it for the growth and harvest of timber. Access to the park would be provided by one fifty foot wide access point on Anderson Lake Road. Access within the park would be provided by thirty five foot wide rights-of-way. The road in the parks which serve the individual sites would have a thirty foot wide right-of-way. All of the roads would be gravel surfaced. 16.5% of the total area of the site would be used for roadway. 45 % of the total area is allocated to open space. Water will be provided by the City of Port Townsend. A water tank will be used with a gravity feed to the individual RV sites. 6.9 units per gross acr.e is the overall density on the site. Rachel Nathanson ,then reviewed the responses received from other agencies, public testimony received proposed mitigative measures and the department findings. The Public Works Department stated that they would accept the narrow right of way widths provided that the applicant paved the entire width of the roadway within the park. The Health Department reported that the sewage disposal system for the park is currently waiting for approval from the State Department of Social and Health Services. The Fire District advised that one hydrant is adequate. The Planning Commission Condition #8 states that" the rights-of-way within the park, other than the primary access road, shall be no less than thirty (30) feet in width and these roadway widths shall be surfaced with gravel as a minimum. The right-of-way width for the primary access road shall be no less than thirty-five (35) feet and shall be paved from the Anderson Lake Road to a point where the grade is no longer excessive, as determined by the ..Jefferson County P'l.lblic Works Department." Rachel Nathanson added that this condition was put together by the Planning Commission and is not in keeping with the Public Works Department recommendation that all of the roads be paved to roadway width. The Planning Commission felt that the upper roadway could go with a gravel surface as long as the fairly steep access road incline be surfaced. The Planning Commission recommends that preliminary approval be granted subject to the conditions as presented. The mitigative measures as a result of the environmental review were then reviewed: the first five measures are the same as the ones on the staff report. Measure number 7 (traffic impact analysis and improvements to Anderson Lake Road) is also the same as one suggested by the Planning Commission. Item #64 on the environmental checklist deals with Historic and Cultural Preservation. Since Tamanamus Rock is on the State Register of Historic Monuments, the project was reviewed by the state Office of Archaeologic and Historic Preservation. They asked that a mitigative measure be included that states that a professional cultural resource survey of the project area be done. VOL i 5 i'AC~ 00 0969 Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of March 13, 1989 Page: 5 Ralph Theriaul t: Mr. Theriault, project proponent and owner of the property, stated that there is a burden placed upon this project by the traffic entering from Anderson Lake Road to Rhody Drive. This site is over a half a mile from Rhody Drive. The Commissioners have set a precedent by placing no restriction on the Coho Escapee Retreat, which has an RV park next to this site, for traffic impacts to the road. Mr. Theriault asked the Board for relief from the traffic impact requirements on this part of the road because the cost of the project goes up, it makes it hard to secure a loan to build the project. Mr. Theriault again asked the Board to issue as release on this part of the project. It is 1,000 feet from the top of the hill with a view of the entrance to the site. There is a view of the entrance for 1,200 feet coming up that hill, which is enough sight distance for traffic. Mr. Theriault stated that he agrees that the incline into the site should be paved, so that vehicles won't chew it up, but added that it will cost him $12,000 to $14,000 just to pave that 500 to 600 feet of road. Norma Clique: Ms. Clique stated that Mr. Theriault should not have to bear the brunt of the trails at the back this site that go from the rock to the Lake. Someone should write to the State and ask that the State fence the trail or fixing it so that people could not trespass into his timberland or her brothers timberland or even across the road into her property. Anderson Lake is a game refuse and the State should pay more attention to the protection of the area itself as well as the landowners. Ralph Theriault: Mrs. Clique is referring to a trail built by the State Parks across his property to provide access to the monument, Mr. Theriault noted. Tamanamus Rock is on his property. Commissioner B. G. Brown stated that he understands that Mr. Theriault is asking that mitigative measure #7 (#18 on the Planning Commission conditions) be deleted as a condition on this project. Rachel Nathanson stated that if the conditions and mitigative measures are approved as suggested, then they will be numbered the same on both sheets to avoid confusion in the future. Chairman George Brown advised Mr. Theriault that the traffic impacts from his proposal are not known yet. Commissioner B. G. Brown added that the cumulative impacts from all the projects in this area are going to generate more traffic at that intersection than was originally predicted. The County must determine if it is fair to ask the projects to participate in offsetting the cost of the impacts on this intersection, as well as the cost of the analysis, especially since one of the projects is already approved and no such condition was placed on that project. County Engineer Bob Nesbitt stated that it will cost between $1,500 and $2,000 to do a traffic analysis in this area. Marv Theriault: Ms. Theriault stated that Anderson Lake State Park is in this same area and it contributes to the traffic on this road. Commissioner Dennison stated that Anderson Lake State Park isn't accessible to recreational vehicles and no camping is allowed, only day use, which is a different kind of traffic impact than a recreational vehicle park. Howard Zimmerman: Mr. Zimmerman stated that he is property owner in the area and he is concerned that a deceleration lane be installed on Anderson Lake Road. A log truck travelling down this .road with a load of 60,000 pounds of logs would not be able to stop within 200 to 400 feet. School buses use this road also. The general public does use this road as a speedway Commissioner Dennison stated concern for the drainage in the area also. He asked County Engineer Bob Nesbitt about the conditions that have been suggested for this project on drainage and deceleration lanes. Bob Nesbitt reported that he is going to call a professional engineer regarding the drainage on this project, he added ,that he is comfortable with the conditions as written. Rachel Nathanson reported that there is a requirement on the Evergreen Coho Escapee Retreat project for an acceleration and deceleration lane on Anderson Lake Road at the main entrance point to the park. Val 15 iAt.: . me '09t70 Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of March 13, 1989 Page: 6 Commissioner B. G. Brown moved to bring the SEPA threshold determination on the Tamanamus Rock Recreational Vehicle Park Project off the table. Commissioner Dennison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Commissioner Dennison then moved to approve the preliminary binding site plan with the conditions as recommended by the Planning Commission and to issue a mitigated determination of non-significance with the conditions as recom- mended. Commissioner B. G. Brown seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. State Environmental PolicY Act Review: RedesianationRea:uest: for at Motel: Hiahway 20: Rick Peirson. Applicant:: This is a redesignation request is for a five acre parcel of property on Highway 20 located about 1,000 feet north of the Highway 20/Airport Cutoff Road intersection. The property is. in the Twiggs Short Plat. The proposed project for this site is a 66 unit, three story motel, Rachel Nathanson reported. The property is a portion of a 10.82 acre parcel designated as residential or suburban and is currently unimproved and heavily wooded. The Planning Commission reviewed this request for its consistency with the Comprehensive Plan as requested by the Board. This redesignation would require an amendment to the County Comprehensive Plan and the optimum land use map, which is what the Board will make a determination on today. The property with 600 feet of the Highway 20/Airport Cutoff Road intersection is currently designated as commercial. The property to the north, west and east of this site is designated as residential. Ohly the property is the west is undeveloped currently. The property to the south is designated as commercial. The highway frontage of this parcel is undeveloped. County approval was granted for the gravel removal and processing of gravel resources on this property. Fred Hill Materials is running a concrete and gravel plant at this site. This site is located 300 feet to the south of a large area of property designated as industrial which also allows commercial uses. Rachel Nathanson then reviewed the Planning Commission findings and recommendation which is to deny the redesignation request. Rick Peirson, Project Proponent: Mr. Peirson stated that this site was chosen with a great deal of thought. He noted that he looked extensively for property in the corridor area and there very little available that would suit the needs of this size of commercial development. Commissioner Dennison asked what Mr. Peirson meant by available, which he responded meant not for sale. This project requires an extensive drainage which this 10 acre site would accommodate. A preliminary septic plan has been drawn up by an engineering firm. This site was also chosen because it was wooded. Mr. Peirson submitted a map of the SR20 Corridor which shows the property available, the property designated as commercial/industrial and the subject property. Commissioner Dennison asked if anyone knew why there isn't very much of the property designated as industrial/commercial in the SR20 corridor, isn't for sale? Gene Seton stated that as far as he knows it's all for sale. Rick Peirson: Mr. Peirson added that he doesn't feel that an industrial area is a proper site for a motel. Commissioner Dennison noted that Mr. Peirson's chosen site borders on a rock pit which is an industrial area. Mr. Peirson stated that it is his understanding that he is requesting a conditional use permit to use this site only for the stated purpose and not for anything other than that. Rachel Nathanson clarified that a conditional use permit is not available in the County. Only if a project is proposed as a planned commercial development or a planned industrial development is the conditional use permit approach available in the County. Since this is one commercial development on a parcel of property it must be redesignated as commercial. Richard Spindor, Port Townsend Realty: Mr. Spindor stated that his firm represents the property sellers who are working with Mr. Pierson and he has VDl 15 '0'1'. . ., :.f( :, ,,' r'\t: . !,l) 09'U'1 Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of March 13, 1989 Page: 7 been involved in hotel development in this area. He stated that he is sure this site was selected because it is close to a major intersection. There area properties in this whole area that have problems with being approved for a septic system. He added that locating a motel in the corridor that get the odor from the mill would not be a good idea, and he feels that locating this motel where it is proposed is better than any of the locations closer to Port Townsend in the industrial park. After further discussion of the issues involved with this redesignation including the need for the City to supply water to the area Commissioner Dennison moved to deny the redesignation request as recommended by the Planning Commission. Commissioner B. G. Brown seconded thetnotion which carried by a unanimous vote. Shore~ine Setback Variance Request re: Lords Lake Loop Road: Clayton and 3ean Sartain, Applicants: Mr. &: Mrs. Sartain are asking for a shoreline setback variance for a building they are proposing on a parcel of property on the Lords Lake Loop Road. The problem on this, Assistant Pla~er Jim Pearson noted, is that there isn It guidance in the Shoreline Program regarding notification of adjacent property owners. Mr. Jerry Phillips was notified last week and he is not sure that everyone with an interest in this can be present today. Mr. Sartain would also like to have his attorney present at this meeting which he could not be today. Jim Pearson asked that this variance be reviewed at a later date. Commissioner Dennison moved to table action on this setback variance request until a later date. Commissioner B. G. Brown seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. of As halt plant: Near Shold A letter has been received from Puget Sound Asphalt Paving owned by Mike Shaw, requesting permission to temporarily locate their asphalt plant near Shold Excavating in Hadlock to work on a contract that has been secured the firm. The plant could be located either within the Cotton Concrete p ant site or adjacent to it in the gravel pit owned by Mr. Lopeman. There re noise impacts from the rock crusher needed for the asphalt plant as we las air itnpacts, Senior planner Rachel Nathanson reported. Commissioner Dennison moved to approve the emporary placement for a maximum of ninety (90) days, of an asphalt plant on condition that a final site plan be submi tted to and approved by the County lanning Department. Commissioner B. G. Brown seconded the motion. The moti n carried by a unanimous vote. Setback Variance est re: Set ck Violations. 61 Simcoe Road Port Townsend: Barbara Berg, Applicant: B rbaraBerg has a home on Simcoe Road with a carport attached to the house, Senior planner Rachel Nathanson reported. The carport was built a couple of years ago without a building permit. Complaints have been received that the carport impedes the travel of fire trucks, as well as neighbors vehic es on this road. The setback of the carport is approximately 17 feet from a bulkhead on the other side of Simcoe Road. Mrs. Berg's property boundar includes Simcoe Road which is a private usage road. The overhang from the oof of the carport goes into the road. Mrs. Berg is asking for a zero lot line se back, Rachel Nathanson reported. The Fire District advised that a fire tru k cannot get down this road even if this carport was removed. Commissioner B. G. Brown moved to table action on this request to allow time to gather more information. Commissioner D nnison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Shoreline Setback Variance Re t. 40063 101 South Brinnan: James Aylesworth, Applicant: Jim earson reported that this setback request is for property that borders on the Jefferson/Mason County Line. Mr. VOl 1, 5 l' I.~ Cl~ 0572 ,ii", U._J ill>' .. , .,. Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of March 13, 1989 Page: 8 Aylesworth is requesting a 12 foot variance for a new residence that he is building. A thirty foot setback is required and Mr. Aylesworth is proposing an 18 foot setback. Commissioner B. G. Brown moved to approve the 12 foot shoreline setback variance as requested since the averaging method for determining shoreline setbacks will not be an issue on the adjacent properties. Commissioner Dennison questioned the criteria for granting variances. After discussion of the reason that Mr. Aylesworth is requesting this variance, the motion died for a lack of a second. 3im Pearson will inspect the site and talk with Mr. Aylesworth about this matter, and reported back to the Board at a later date. Comaents on State Environmental PolicvAct Review: Shoreline Defense Work and Beach Access Stairway. OIVJDl)us Boulevard.

Engineering drawings and pictures of how the balloon hangar looks now, need to be completed prior to award of the contract. If other financing becomes available to the County at reasonable rates, then the County must refinance the loan at that point. The FmHA Attorney must review the legal papers before the project goes to bid. After the bids are opened they will be reviewed by FmHA before contracts are awarded. Commis- sioner Dennison moved to approve the documents for the FmHA loan for the balloon hangar project and to authorize the Chairman to sign the papers. Commissioner B. G. Brown seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Carter Breskin and Representative of the Farmers Home Administra- tion re: Letter of Conditions for the Port Townsend Community Center Project: Karen Bailer of FmHA reviewed the letter of conditions for the Port Townsend Community Center project for the Board. It is almost exactly the same as the letter for the balloon hangar project. This loan is for $484,000.00. This loan also has the refinancing agreement as required for the balloon hangar project. The re-paYment is for ,twenty years and will be secured by General Obligation Bonds. Evidence of the funds from the City, the Community Development Block Grant and the private donations is required. Evidence of insurance is also required as well as evidence that the Treasurer is bonded. Karen Bailor complimented Carter Breskin on the work she put into the loan pre-application.
