PLANNING AND BUILDING Re<IJ1est for Setback Variance: Placement of Quilding on a corner lot: Paradise View Estates, Lot 20 Block E: Robert &-lean lIarsh: Associate Planner, Jerry smith, reported that this setback variance request is for Lot 20 Block E of Paradise View Estates. Maple Street is platted as a 60 foot tvnr~ 15 ;_~r~ on 5365 Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: November 13, 1989 Page: 3 right-of-way and willow street is platted as a 30 foot right-of-way. Mr. & Mrs. Marsh are requesting an eight foot variance from willow street and a 10 foot setback variance from Maple street, for a proposed garage and patio. Willow street is an undeveloped right-of-way. Mr. Marsh stated that it is not likely that willow street will be developed in the future. The property along this right-of-way is forested and owned in large blocks. Mr. Marsh added that the hardspip which necessitated this request has occurred since he started to develop this site. The septic tank had to be placed 100 feet from a creek on the property, after a variance of 75 feet from it had originally been granted, but was not acted upon. Two additional lots were purchased to be sure that the septic system could be placed on the property. Mr. Marsh stated that he feels that placing the patio on the other side of the house as suggested by Commissioner Dennison, would restrict their view of the water in the future. Commissioner Dennison noted that one of the criteria for granting variances from the setback requirements is that the hardship not be a result of the property owners actions. It is Mr. Marsh's choice not to place the patio on the other side of the house. Mr. Marsh stated that the breezeway could be eliminated which would mean that the proposed garage would only require a four foot variance. Commissioner Dennison asked that Mr. Marsh bring back a proposal which would require the minimum amount of variance possible for this project. Jerry Smith noted that the setback should be measured from the foundation, not the overhang of the eaves as shown on Mr. Marsh's site plan. This would mean that the request for setback variance on the willow Street side would be reduced to six feet instead of the eight feet requested. Mr. Marsh stated that he will rework his proposal to minimize the amount of variance needed and submit it to the Board at a later date. Commissioner Dennison moved to table action on the request until the Applicant provides a revised plan. Chairman George Brown seconded the motion. The motion carried. Request for Setback V~riance: Placement of building on progerty: Portage Bay Park: Theodor~ Nakumura, Applicant: Peter Sandall, Representa- tive: Mr. Peter Sandall, representing the applicant, Theodore Nakumura, was present when Jerry Smith explained that this is a request for a setback variance for Lot 1 of the portaqe Bay Park subdivision. Adjacent to the lot there is a 30 foot platted street (Lincoln street) that is not developed. A residence is currently on the site which meets the setback requirements. The owner of the property is proposing to re-build the residence. Commissioner Dennison stated that it appears that the residence could be placed on the property to meet the setback requirements. Mr. Sandall stated that the applicant would like the residence placed as close to the water as possible. The variance request was made on the assumption that the platted street will not be opened in the future. Commissioner Dennison stated that it is hard ~o make an assumption about how a street will be used in the future. Mr. Sandall added that there is access to each of the lots on this street by private driveways from Cedar Lane. He added that the request is to be allowed to consider\Lincoln Street as a property line (as if it was an adjacent lot) which requires a five foot setback. I Commissioner Dennison eXiained that this would be granting a variance for the convenience of the roperty owner, which does not meet the variance approval criteria. Co issioner Dennison asked that the structure be repositioned to minimize he setback variance request. Commissioner Dennison moved to table action on t, is request until the applicant presents a proposal that would minimize the setback variance request. Chairman George Brown seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Commissioner Dennison adv sed in response to an inquiry by Mr. Sandall, that he does not have to com back before this Board if the placement of the residence on the lot can eet the setback requirements. ro l' Western OUilllper Peninsula: poge V.OI . 0' 5366 15 ' ~'r:~ . ~o ;1..,.., ~. . . commissioners' Meeting Minutes: November 13, 1989 Page: 4 ritories, Inc., Representatives: David cunningham, Pope Resources, and Jerry Newlin of NTI were present when Jerry Smith reviewed the environmental checklist for the community drainfield system located about 3 1/2 miles southwest of Port Townsend. A SEPA determination is being required on this project by Jefferson County because it is required by the Development Code on developments in environmentally sensitive areas (15% or more slope on the site). The PUD will take over maintenance of the community drainfield and collection system, once it is in place. Jerry Smith then reviewed the environmental checklist for the project. David Cunningham reported that the soils on this site are not suitable for on-site septic systems and that is why a community drainfield is being proposed. The State Department of Health will approve the design of the collection system and the community drainfie~d and the county Health Department will approve the septic tank for each lot. only the collection pipe will be placed on the steeper slopes, Mr. Newlin added. commissioner Dennison moved to issue a determination of non-significance and lead agency status on this Community Drainfield Project as submitted. Chairman George Brown seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Fee In Lieu of Park Agreement and OUIT CLlUM DEED: River Valley view Plat: ~id OUam: The River Valley View Plat, David Goldsmith reported, was approved in september of 1980. In June of 1988 the owner of Lot 1 asked that the open space on his lot be reduced to 2.5 acres which was approved by an amendment to the plat in March 14, 1988. This lot owner then went back to the developer of the plat, Arvid Quam, and asked that the open space be eliminated from the plat. Mr. Quam and the County made an agreement in June 14, 1989 that the open space would be eliminated from the plat if a fee of $10,360.00 was paid by Mr. Quam.

Jack GUJDDler re: Spraying of Pesticides on Right-of-Way: Chevy ~luu:;e to Cape Georqe & South Discovery Road: Jack Gummer came before the Board to discuss the spraying of pesticides on the right-of-way in the Chevy Chase area. Bob Henderson, Public Works Department, introQuced himself and reported that puget Power hired a contractor to spray herbicides on the right-of-way to control the growth of alders and maples that can interfere with the power lines. puget Power has been told to stop spraying. They are preparing a program to present to the Board for approval to selectively spray alders and maples along the right-of-way where the power lines are located. Commissioner Dennison stated that this spraying wasn't done with the County's concurrence and it has now been stopped. Bob Henderson stated that spraying is the most economical way to control vegetation and that may be why puget Power started to do it. Commissioner Dennison suggested that Mr. Gummer also speak to puget Power about this practice. ~."" 'v MEETING ..ADllO~', '",,-- r4~~'\ .~'~,. 1<-1*,"" .~~.. . ~ .. " _ . J '. , ...... "".. #I ,.
