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.

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. All of the legal papers are now ready for
the Board's signature on this agreement and the Prosecuting Attorney has
approved them.
commissioner Dennison moved to approve and sign Resolution No. 106-89
amending the River valley View Plat by removing the dedication of open space.
Chairman George Brown seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
Commissioner Dennison then moved to approve the Quit Claim Deed conveying
ti tIe to the open space of the River Valley View Plat to Mr. & Mrs.
Whittaker. Chairman George Brown seconded the motion.

Board about the matter of space rent for the Quilcene Grandmothers Club.
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.
