Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of April 10, 1989 Page: 3 PLADIlIG AIm BUILDIlIG DEPART.MEIIT State Environmental Policv Act Review: Rhodv Industrial. Park, Anderson Lake Road: TOJD Graves, Steve Grat:zer and Mike Graves. ADDlicants: On March 27, 1989, Senior Planning Rachel Nathanson reported, the Board withdrew the mitigated determination of non-significance issued on this project, based on additional findings of fact. The March 6 findings of the Planning Commission were in error due to their inclusion of a recommendation for approval of the project, which was not their role in reviewing this project. They were only to make a recommendation on the consistency of the project with the Tri-Area Community Development Plan. There are three possible actions the Board can take at this point, Rachel Nathanson reported: 1) Hold a public hearing for more information on the consistency of the project with the Tri Area Community Development Plan, 2) Find that there are substantial impacts and issue a Determination of Significance and require an Environmental Impact statement scoped for the information needed, and 3) Re-issue a mitigated determination of non- significance. Commissioner Dennison stated that an environmental impact statement would give information on the transportation and housing issue, but he is not sure what information it would give on the consistency of this project with the Tri Area Community Development plan. He added that he feels this project is not consistent with Policy 19 of the plan and that a public hearing should be held to provide more information on that issue. A public hearing would have to be published in the paper for two weeks to provide the 10 days public notice needed, and it should be held at the Tri Area Community Center in the evening. Mrs. Chester Nelson: Mrs. Nelson stated that when they first heard about this project it was going to be a mobile home park? Tom Graves stated that there was never a proposal submitted to the County for a mobile home park on this site. The Board must consider the proposal that has been presented, Commissioner B. G. Brown added. Discussion continued on what types of businesses would locate in this industrial park and the possible uses for this property. Commissioner Dennison moved that the following findings be added to the Findings of Fact adopted on March 27, 1989: a) The Planning Commission's role was not to include a recommendation on the approval or disapproval of the project, but solely to review the proposal for consistency with the Tri Area Community Development Plan. Therefore the Board does not consider the Planning Commission's recommendation on the project a part of the record, except, for that portion dealing specifically with the consistency of the project with the community development plan, b) the Board hereby agrees with the Planning Commission recommendation only in part; the proposal is substantially consistent with the plan except for the location policy, number 19, in the commercial section. That Board finds that further information is needed to determine the proposal's consistency with policy 19 and public input is necessary, and that a public hearing on the proposal's consistency with the Tri Area Community Development Plan be held on May 1, 1989 at 7:30 p.m. at the Tri Area Community Center. Commissioner B. G. Brown seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Discussion of Mi tiaated Deteraination of lion-Significance Issued to Taaanamus Rock. Recreational Vehicle Park: Ralph' Theriaul t: Ralph Ther iaul t was present when Rachel Nathanson explained that a mitigated determination of non-significance was issued by the Board on March 13, 1989, on the Tamanamus Rock Recreational Vehicle Park project. Mr. Theriault has advised the Planning Department that he will not accept mitigative measure #7 which states "the project proponent shall pay a proportionate share of the necessary traffic impact analysis and improvement costs for Anderson Lake Road and Rhody Drive/Anderson Lake Road inte~section as determined by the Jefferson County Public Works Department." Mr. Theriault stated that he does not have any more money to take care of these expenses without cutting into his livelihood. He does not have the money to make a study or to build roads. Building roads for the County is ~ VOl 15 or' 1.51.2 Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of April 10, 1989 Page: 4 not in that program. The Evergreen Coho Corporation, Mr. Theriault added, has not agreed in writing to spend any money on the roads because they are home free. Commissioner B.G. Brown stated that if the Board doesn't formulate the project requirements based on what they feel is necessary, then they would be maKing a land use determination based on an individual's needs. Commissioner Dennison stated that he does not feel that the County should change the mitigative measures on the project. Since Mr. Theriault has said that he will not agree with measure #7 of the mitigated determination of non- significance, Commissioner B. G. Brown moved to withdraw the mitigated determination of non-significance on the Tamanamus Rock Recreational Vehicle Park project and table action on the project until such time as Mr. Theriault and the County can work out an agreement on this issue. Commissioner Dennison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Rachel Nathanson stated that the project is now tabled because a SEPA threshold determination has not been made. Mr. Theriault cannot proceed with this project until a SEPA determination is made by the Board. Mr. Theriault added that he feels this is an infringement on the landowner to do what he wants on his land as he sees fit. BuildinG' Se'tback Variance Reauest:: Siacoe Road: Barbara Berg: Since the Board has not be out to maKe an inspection of this site the Board will put this back on their agenda next week. * * * 30m Brown and Daryl Moealing re:Let:t:er of Intent:: St:art:ina a Local COBIDrehensive Plan for Discovery Bav: Senior Planner, Rachel Natha~son was present when John Brown and five other Discovery Bay residents came before the Board to present a letter of intent for starting a local comprehensive plan for Discovery Bay. 30hn Brown also presented a petition with 117 signatures of Discovery Bay residents asking that a community plan be drafted for that area. Mr. Brown asked for an answer from the Board immediately because a group is ready to start worK on the development of this plan. The County Planning Commission told the Discovery Bay residents, Mr. Brown continued, that they should develop their own area plan. Commissioner Dennison responded that the Planning Commission is an advisory committee of local residents. John Brown reported that David Goldsmith concurred with the Planning Commission on this matter. . Commissioner B. G. Brown aSKed what assistance (Item B on the Letter of Intent) would be needed by this group? John Brown answered that a listing of the property owners in that area is needed as well as topography maps of the area. They would also need copies of any rules and regulations that would apply to this type of plan development. Commissioner B. G. Brown suggested, in response to Item C of the Letter of Intent, that a moderator would be needed by this group. John Brown stated that the Planning Department indicated that they would not have any money in their budget to do this for several years. There have already been five meetings of local residents which were open to everyone in the area. Commissioner Dennison stated that he is concerned about Item C of the letter which says that the County Planning Department be involved only to the extent that the Committee requests. Hargrove Garrison stated that everyone in the area agrees that the whole community be involved in this planning and that is why they have asked for a mailing list of the property owners. Rachel Nathanson, Senior Planner, stated that in her experience in working with community plans she has found that it can be an exciting effort, and urged the group to use the Planning Department staff for information. Mr. Garrison suggested that the planning group work until the end of the year and LYDt 15 r~GE Op'1513 Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of April 10, 1989 Page: 5 if they find they need more input from the Planning Department they could let the Board know that before the budget process so that funding could be provided for this project through the Planning Department budget if necessary. Commissioner B.G. Brown stated that County departments do charge for copies of their information and if they are to provide copies to this group for free then approval will be needed from the Board. He suggested that any requests for department information be made through the Board. Daryl Moegling stated that the group would bring a list of needs to the Board. A questionnaire will be sent out by the Committee at their expense, Mr. Garrison stated. Commissioner B. G. Brown moved that the Board concurred with the three re~Aests in the letter of intent. Commissioner Dennison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. The Board wished the Committee good luck in their endeavor. TREASURER A'DDroval of Stai:e of'Receipts and Disburs_ents fro. January 1. 1989 to March 31. 1989: Commissioner B. G. Brown moved to approve the report of Cash on Hand as of March 31, 1989 and the Statement of Receipts and Disbursements for the period January 1 to March 31, 1989 as submitted by the County.Treasurer. Commissioner Dennison seconded the motion. The motion carried by a unanimous vote. * * * Stan Betts. Chairman. Jefferson county Elmraencv Medical services Council re: Al Boucher Report:. on EMS l'undina: Stan Betts, Chairman, Jefferson County Emergency Medioal Servioes Council and Carl Escene, President of the Jefferson County Fire Commissioners & Secretaries Associa- tion came before the Board to discuss funding for the Emergency Medical Services. Stan Betts reviewed the Special Report of Funding Analysis for the Jefferson County Emergency Medical Council prepared by Al Boucher. He asked the Board for their comments on the report. Commissioner B. G. Brown stated that his concern is for how the Fire Commissioners and Fire Chiefs of the County Fire Districts feel about the best way to handle funding for emergency medical services. Stan Betts reported that the Fire Districts all have a copy of this report and will be making comments to the Fire Commissioners and Secretaries Association at their next meeting. Carl Escene reported that the statement made by the Medioal Program Director that Jefferson County was one of the lowest in funding medical aid in the State created comments from the Fire Districts. Mr. Escene.added that a meeting is being arranged with the local doctors to find out why they can't provide the services of a Medical Program Director on a volunteer basis from their ranks. The State has put the requirement that the County have a Medical Program Director for these services. The local doctors have said that they don't have the time to do this. The Fire District personnel are all volunteers and they find the time to train and provide these services on a volunteer basis. The State will shut down all of the emergency medical services if the EMS Council does not have someone to serve as Medical Program Director. The discussion continued regarding possible funding sources for emergency medical services and Al Boucher's report. Stan Betts stated that he has a question in his mind about allowing each Fire District to continue to fund their individual emergency medical services programs. The County has the authority to levy funds to provide a countywide emergency medical service program and thus take over that function from the Fire Districts. Carl Escene reported that the Emergency Medical Services VOL 15r;\cE or 1514 , . , ~ Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of April 10, 1989 Page: 6 Council is researching the possibility of imposing an emergency transport fee. Stan Betts then asked the Board, if a transport fee is enacted, would the County be able to help with funding during the lag time before the fund would be large enough to pay for a Medical Program Director? Carl Escene stated that the Hospital has agreed to collect the EMS user fee which would be put into a fund which would be administered by the EMS Council and the Fi.re District Commissioners. The discussion continued regarding this fund, who, has the authority to collect the funds and how the funds would be administered. The EMS Council has the authority to hire and fire the Medical Program Director and to provide training for emergency medical service personnel of the fire districts. Carl Escene reported that these issues will be discussed at the May meeting of the Jefferson County Fire Commissioners and Secretaries Association. 1989 Dance License- ADDlicat:ion: Rancv's Place: Commissioner B.
