The Board cannot take any action on this project until that comment period expires. John Tyner presented a petition with approximately 90 signatures from area property owners asking that the Board look at other conditions and impacts from this project and withdraw the mitigated determination of non-sig- nificance. The area property owners are concerned about the impacts to the area from this project. The Chairman read the petition for'the record. John Tvner: Mr. TYner stated that he feels more conditions should have been placed on this project especially since it is not known what type of businesses will lease these buildings. Jim Hathawav: Mr. Hathaway noted that conditions should be written, since it is not known what type of businesses will be allowed to locate in this industrial park. If Policy 19 of the Tri Area Community Plan does not apply any longer then it is the job of the Board and the Planning Commission to find out if this policy should be changed. Mr. Hathaway also questioned who will pay for the cost of the traffic impacts to the area? Commissioner B. G. Brown stated that mitigative measure #6 on this project states "The project proponents shall pay a proportionate share of the necessary traffic impact analysis and improvement costs for Anderson Lake Road and the Rhody Drive/Anderson Lake Road intersection as determined by the Jefferson County Ptlblic Works Department". The discussion continued regarding the traffic impacts to the area and who will bear the costs. David Clevenaer: Mr. Clevenger noted that he purchased his property behind Mr. TYner's two years ago and he does not feel that it is proper to have an industrial park located down the street from the school. He purchased his property because of the rural nature of the area. The Board advised that they will ask the Prosecuting Attorney for advise on how the County can proceed with consideration of this project. John Tvner: Mr. Tyner asked the Board if they would have approved or disapproved a redesignation request for this project if the request had been made? The Board indicated that they made a determination on the request as it was presented to them, which was as a planned industrial development.

A section of rip rap about 35 feet long was built and backfill was placed behind it to the bank. Three pilings originally planned for the stairway have been set into the beach substrate. A variance is required to allow the backfill placed in this area. Jim Pearson reported that he did a site inspection with a representative from the State Department of Fisheries and no critical habitat was found in this area. The work on the bulkhead and pilings was done by another contractor. Mr. Willie, the current contractor, was present to answer questions. In order "to approve this variance, Jim Pearson explained, the project proponent must prove a hardship has been created.

Mr. Willie stated that he wouldn't have proposed the kind of work that was done by the previous contractor and now he is just trying to make sure that the Elsey's have a safe stairway to the beach.

The Shoreline Commission also reviewed the conditional use permit and recommend that the Board approve it. Commissioner B. G. Brown moved to approve the variance and the conditional use permit as recommended by the Shoreline Commission for the Elsey's project.

' Shoreline SUbst:an1:ial 'DeveloDJDent: Pend t: #89-0003: Ut:ilize an Existina Warehouse and Dock for Receivina and ProcessinG Sea Urchins and Sea CUcumbers: LoNer Hadlock: Sea AmerlcaExPort:s: This proposal is to use an existing dock and warehouse in Lower Hadlock to receive and process sea urchins and sea cucumbers, Jim Pearson reported. There is existing equipment on the premises as this warehouse has been used for fish processing previously. This is an aquatic use in an urban designation. The adjacent area is a mixture of commercial, light industrial and residential uses. A Washington State Department of Ecology Waste Discharge permit is also required for this project. Mr. Michael Braun, the project proponent was present. 3im Pearson reported that a letter was rec'eived from Robert Minnihan, an adjacent property owner, who is concerned about the types of seafood that will be processed at this site and the odors that might be generated from other seafood processing on this site. He suggested that a conditional use permit be issued so that it can be reviewed if complaints are received about odors from the processing at the site. Jim Pearson then reviewed the suggested conditions for this project, which include a condition that states in part that "This permit is only for receiving and minimally processing seafood such as sea cucumbers and sea urchins. Processing other seafood products shall require review by the Jefferson County Planning and Building Department." Mr. Minnihan: Mr. Minnihan stated that he is not against the proposed facility as such. He would hate to see this site tied up in perpetuity with a fish processing facility. Commissioner Dennison moved to approve the Shoreline Substantial Development Permit with the conditions as suggested for the Sea America Exports, Inc. project. Commissioner B. G. Brown seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. MEETING ADJOURNED * * * JEFFERSON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS 4.dA7~'~ -George C. Brown, Chairman ~~ B. G.
