PLANNING AND BUILDING
Gardiner Area Community Development Plan: Adoption as a Special
Chapter of the Jefferson County Comprehensive P:I,.an: Three Gardiner area
residents were present when Planning and Building Department Director, David
Goldsmith, presented the Board members with copies of the proposed Gardiner
Community Development Plan. He then explained how this document was
developed. The Planning Commission reviewed this community plan at a public
hearing and their recommendation, David Goldsmith reported, includes an
addendum for some changes in language. He then reviewed the language
changes suggested by the Planning Commission, most of which were to make the
language clearer. The following two language changes, however, change the
meaning of the section:
Chapter 5, Housing and Residential. Page 20 to 21, Item 7
"Manufactured homes and manufactured home parks should
meet the same standards and policies as conventional
housing."
Chapter 5, Resource Proouct:ion/AgriCUl t:ure, Aquacul ture, and
Forestry Page 25, Item 8 and 13. Item 8 "The seasonal sale of raw
agricultural products should occur on the premises where
they were produced or within commercially designated
areas. The sale of processed products, with the excep-
tion of those grown or produced on premise, should occur
within commercially designated areas or as approved home
businesses."
Item 13 "The sale of raw aquacultural products should
occur on the premises where they were harvested or wi thin
commercially designated areas. The sale of processed
products, with the exception of those grown or produced
on premise, should occur within commercially designated
areas or within approved home businesses."
David Goldsmith then reviewed two pieces of correspondence received since the
Planning Commission hearing on the Plan. Tom and Suzanne Berg commented
about the Planning Commission's suggested change to allow raw agricultural

and aquacultural products ~ processed agricultural and aquacultural
products to be sold on the premises where they were produced and regarding
the phrase "mobile home park. II The Gardiner Planning Team commented that
they did not intend to encourage the development of mobile home parks.
The Chairman then asked if the Howe's or Mrs. Berg would like to comment.
Dick Howe explained that in regard to the agricultural section that the
Gardiner Planning Team felt items that are grown on a property designated as
agricultural could be processed and sold on the property. Mrs. Berg added
that her letter addressed items such as oysters and shellfish being processed
into products such as clam chowder and then sold on the property under this
agricultural exemption, without being in a commercially designated area or
being permitted as a home business. Mrs. Berg noted that #8 on page 25 (and
#13 Page 26) of the Plan states "the seasonal sale of raw agricultural
products" and the Planning Commission added "and processed agricultural
products." The Gardiner Planning Team does not want the addition suggested
by the Planning Commission. The discussion continued regarding the intent
of the agricultural exemption language and how it could be interpreted in the
future.
Commissioner B. G. Brown stated that he agrees with Mrs. Berg's interpreta-
tion of these definitions. The County wants to leave wording in that is
reasonable and meets the intent of the Gardiner Planning Team. The Planning
Commission made their suggested changes with good intent, but they may not
have thought about how someone might interpret their wording in the future.
The discussion then turned to not changing this language, as suggested by the
Planning Commission. David Goldsmith explained that if the original language
is left, then any processing and sale of product not grown or produced on the
site would have to be done as a home business, which limits the size of the
operation.
Another issue was language concerning mobile home parks (Page 21, #7). The
plan states that manufactured homes must meet the same requirements (density
of one unit per acre, etc.) as conventional housing. Mrs. Howe stated that
no one on the Planning Team intended to have the word "park" in this plan at
all. Commissioner B. G. Brown stated that this wording treats mobile or
manufactured homes the same as conventional housing. The Board agreed that
the phrase "and manufactured home parks" be deleted from this wording and
be replaced with "and mobile homes."
Commissioner Dennison moved to amend the Gardiner community Development Plan
with the Addendum as recommended by the Planning Commission with the
following exceptions: 1) strike from Chapter 5 (pages 20-21) Overall Item 7,
"and manufactured home parks" and replace with "and mobile homes" and
Chapter 5 (page 25 item 8 and 26 item 13) strike "with the exception of those
grown or produced on premise" so it will read "The sale of processed products
should occur within commercially designated areas or as approved home
businesses. II Commissioner B. G. Brown seconded the motion which carried by
a unanimous vote.
commissioner Dennison moved to approve and sign Resolution No. 97-89 adopting
a Special Chapter of the Jefferson county Comprehensive Plan to be known as
the Gardiner Area Community Development Plan as recommended by the Planning
Commission, with the Addendum as changed by the Board. commissioner B. G.
Brown seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.

Townsend between Discovery Road and Cape George. Commissioner Dennison moved
to approve the hearing notice setting the public hearing on the Vacation

Development Permit #89-0019: Construction of BUlkhead, Dockf pier and Tidal

Applicants: This proposal is to build sixty feet of bulkhead, a dock, a pier
and a tidal grid in Bridgehaven, Assistant Planner, Jim Pearson reported.

and piers have been started on these lots. This project is the same as
others that have been approved in the Bridgehaven area. He is also proposing
to install a tidal grid so that his boat won't sink in the mud when the tide

Commissioner Dennison had to leave the meeting for a few minutes during th!s
review. Commissioner B. G. Brown moved to issue a determination of non-
significance on this project as presented. Chairman George Brown seconded
the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.

carried by a unanimous vote.

three Counties will be meeting in Sequim on Wednesday to go over this plan
and make final changes. Ella Sandvig reported that she will bring the final
copy to the Board as soon as it is available.
