MI NUT E S
Week of March 14, 1988
The meeting was called to order by Chairman B. G. Brown.
Commissioner Larry W. Dennison and Commissioner George Brown were both
present
APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Commissioner Dennison moved to approve
the minutes of February 1, and 8~ 1988, as read. Commissioner George
Brown seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
Robert Rosner from the SmokinG Policy Institute: Mr. Rosner
explained that he is the Executive Director of the Smoking Policy
Institute based in Seattle. The Institute designs no-smoking policies
for businesses. The insti tute tries to design the best possible
smoking policy for each organization based on that organizations needs,
which doesn't necessarily mean a ban on smoking.
Mr. Rosner reported, referring to an article from the University of
puget Sound Law Review "The Legal Rights of Non-Smokers", that non-
smokers have a right to breathe c'lean air in the work place. Non-
smokers can sue organizations that fail to protect their health and
safety for such issues as injunctive relief (declare a smoke free
building), disability and/or unemployment compensation for smoke
sensitive people, and negligence. Smoking is a privilege not a right.
There are cost savings associated with non-smoking policies. Anytime
there is fire and smoke is in an enclosed environment there is damage.
Smoke is very harmful to computer equipment and to people. Mr. Rosner
suggested that if the County adopts a no-smoking policy for County
buildings, that they should also pursue discounts available for
employees health and life insurance as well as fire and group auto
insurance discounts for county property. There are impacts to main-
tenance, employee productivity and employee absenteeism associated with
non-smoking policies. Studies have shown that smokers take 33 minutes
of break time more per day than non-smokers. Statistically speaking
studies of Uni ted Airlines, Dow Chemical and the federal government
have shown that smokers have a 40 to 60% greater absentee rate than
non-smokers. The reason that so many life insurance companies provide
discounts to non-smokers is that studies have shown that smokers die on
the average seven years earlier than non-smokers.
There are two pollution problems, one is the air pollution created by
smokers and the other is the noise pollution created by non-smokers.
The smokers and the non-smokers have to be educated. Non-smokers have
to realize what a serious addiction smoking is. Nicotine is the most

serious addictive substance in the country according to the Surgeon
General.
The Board explained that currently smoking is not allowed in the halls
of the Courthouse except a designated area on second floor in front of
the Courtroom. The Superior Court Judge has expressed concern for the
jurors and the people who are coming into Court who smoke and are
coming into a stressful situation.
Mr. Rosner explained that there is an implicit assumption that smokers
need to smoke or it will be too stressful. This view is giving stress
concern for a minority precedence over the same concern for the
majori ty of non-smokers. In looking at the situation as one of
competing stresses, it becomes a social problem instead of viewing it
as a health and safety problem. The bottom line is one of protecting
employees and the public from a health and safety hazard. The people
who come into the building for court will eventually leave, but the
employees who have to work in the building day after da.y are being
exposed to a I health hazard.
,
i
As soon as Ii t is acknowledged that smoke is a problem there is a
certain amo~nt of pressure to deal with it. A policy should be
developed thrt will provide smokers with a place that they can smoke
and that is I effectively ventilated. If the County is going to move
toward a tougher policy by limiting smoking to designated areas or
banning smoking inside county buildings, Mr. Rosner stated that he
believes thel County should offer free smoking cessation programs for
employees wh~ smoke. The policy should also be phased in over a period
of time. Ifl people are asked to go outside to smoke the County should
provide a PI;ace with benches and -ashtrays, near ,doors" and covered if
possible, wh re people can smoke. Some time should also be spent to
educate smok rs and non-smokers regarding the policy and the need for
it. I
Sheriff Mel ~efford and Jail Manager reported on the no smoking policy
at the jail. I Sheriff Mefford explained that he plans to make the whole
facility smo~e free by June 1, 1988.

J r Getz re: 3efferson Count ualit Pro ram: Mr.
Getz came be ore the Board to ask how much money the County is putting
into the Water Quality Program and what they are getting for it? The
Board advise4 Mr. Getz that the water quality program is a continuation
of a program, begun last year. Mr. Getz stated that he is in favor of
I
clean water Ibut questioned the need for three people to work on the
program.
The Board ex~lained that the funding for this program comes partially
from State gjrant funds, which have a scope of work identified. The
discussion continued regarding the water quality program, the work that
was done last year and the people working on the program.

Ole Brekke. Brinnon Seniors re: Brinnon Senior Center: Mr.
Brekke repo~ted to the Board that the administration of the Brinnon
Senior Cente~ is becoming more difficult as time goes on with regard to
the personne~ and policies. Mr. Brekke urge the Board to implement the
agreement f,~r administration of the-Center that he previously gave
them, as soo~ as possible. Mr. Brekke then reviewed a proposed budget
for the ope~ation of the Center that was developed by the Community
Action Counc~l.
After discus~ion of the proposed budget the Board advised Mr. Brekke
that the Sepior Citizen Organization has to set up and document
procedures for accounting, etc. before this agreement can be approved.

BUSINESS FROM COUNTY DEPARTMENTS
HEALTH DEPARTMENT
Aqreement re: Physical Theraoist for County Health Depart-
ment; 3efferson General Hosoi tal: Commissioner Dennison moved to
approve the agreement with Jefferson General Hospital to provide the
Health Department with the services of a Physical Therapist. Commis-
sioner George Brown seconded the motion. The motion passed by a
unanimous vote.
PUBLIC WORKS
AGREEMENT re: Rental of "Road Rater"; Clark County: Public
Works Director, Gary Rowe, explained that this agreement is for the
rental of Clark County's road rating machine to rate the roads which
will be receiving funds through the Rural Arterial Program. This
machine determines the structural strength of the asphalt and aggregate
on the road surface and helps determine how much asphalt should be used
to repair the road.
Commissioner Dennison moved to approve the rental agreement with Clark
County for use of their Road Rater. Commissioner George Brown seconded
the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
EstablishinQ' a Name for a Private Road; Lindsey Lane: Gary
Rowe reported that he has discussed this suggested road name change
from Lindsey Road to Lindsey Lane with Mr. Jerry Lindsey who approved
of it. Commissioner Dennison moved to approve and sign Resolution No.
24-88 establishi.ng a private road named Lindsey Lane. Commissioner
George Brown seconded the motion. The motion passed by a unanimous
vote.
Revision of CR0528; Point Whitney Road: This revision is to
revise the appropriation for this project which was originally approved
several years ago. The original appropriation included $18,000 for
engineering and $25,000 for right-of-way acquisition. These figures
need to be revised to $32,000 for engineering and $78,000 for right-of-
way. Construction is estimated to cost $243,750, of which $195,000
will be reimbursed through the Rural Arterial Program.
Commissioner George Brown moved to approve and sign Resolution No. 25-
88 revising the Point Whitney Road Project funding as recommended by
the Public Works Department. Commissioner Dennison seconded the
motion. The motion passed by a unanimous vote.
Application to Open County Road RiQ'ht-of-Way (Trail Ease-
ment); Elaine Braun. Olvmous Beach Plat: Elaine Braun who owns lots 35
and 36 of the Olympus Beach Plat is requesting that a 10 foot section
of dedicated easement (which is part of the public right-of-way) be
opened for a walkway to the beach adjacent to Lots 22 and 23. It was
found during the site inspection that the grade of the ground is
acceptable for a trail and that one of the adjacent owners is using a
portion of the ten foot easement as part of their yard. There is no
timber on the easement.
Commissioner Dennison moved to table action on this request until the
Public Works Department has an opportunity to notify each of the
adjacent property owners regarding this application. Commissioner
George Brown seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.

PLANNING AND BUILDING
Shoreline ManaQ'ement Substantial Develo1:'l' Permit: Boat PumP-
out Station. Mvsterv Bay: WashinGton State Parks: Planning and
Building Director, David Goldsmith, reminded the Board that last week a
shoreline permit was approved for the Washington State Parks and
Recreation Commission to put a boat pump out station on the dock at
Mystery Bay on the condition that the proposal would be reconfigured
and that reconfiguration be approved by the Board before the permit was
signed.
Mr. Heiser from the State Parks and Recreation Commission reported that
he had tried to meet with Mrs. McDonnell to review with her the re-
configuration that was designed to accommodate the adjacent neighbors
concerns on this project. Phase 1 of the project was left as original-
ly designed so that the facility can be functioning by the July 1
mandated date imposed by the pugetSound Water Quality Authority. Mrs.
McDonnell told Mr. Heiser that she would be unable to meet with him and
that the plan was unacceptable to her because of the Phase 1 location.
Mr. Heiser explained to her that the Phase 1 location was a temporary
location for this one season only. The redesigned proposal is es-
timated to cost $11,000 mqre than the original proposal.
Mr. Heiser further reported that he did finally meet with Mrs. McDon-
nell on Wednesday, when she suggested that an alternative of one float
parallel to the existing floats, be considered. She later called Mr.
Heiser's office to say that this plan was not acceptable to her either.
After discussing all of the options with the Director and Assistant
Director of the Parks Commission, Mr. Heiser reported, that it is their
conclusion that the only viable plan is their original plan. The Parks
Commission is asking that their original proposal be approved or
denied. They feel they are unable to satisfy Mrs. McDonnell at this
location and they believe that this facility is of more importance to
the State of Washington than one persons personal viewpoint.
Commissioner Dennison stated that it is his understanding that Mrs.
McDonnell is agreeable to the compromise design for Phase 2, but she is
questioning Phase 1. Chairman B. G. Brown added that it isn't fair to
say that only one person is objecting to this proposal. Eighteen
people signed a letter to the Governor objecting to this project after
the last meeting. Mr. Heiser stated that he verified the information
he gave at the last meeting about the floats being removed from the
water at Fort Flagler in the winter and that information is correct.
Florence Hubbard stated that this proposal creates an expenditure of
money that doesn't have to be spent. She stated that she is a tax
payer and a boater and she is sick and tired of all the nonsense. The
Board explained that the money will be spent for a pump out facility
somewhere even if this proposal is not approved.
Ted Bucklin: Mr. Bucklin stated that the judgement for this location
is purely some persons opinion which was made with no local input on
either the boat traffic or the impact on the community.
Mrs. McDonnell: Mrs. McDonnell stated that Mr. Heiser did not address
her suggestion for changes in the first phase of the proposal from a
technical standpoint since he is not an engineer. The original
proposal is appalling because it not only puts this facility on the end
of the dock but it also extends the dock. Mrs. McDonnell asked how
long Phase 1 is expected to last? Discussion ensued about the proposed
changes that would be made to this project and the communication
problem between Mrs. McDonnell and Mr. Heiser.
Chai rman B. G. Brown explained that since there is not an al ternate
VOl 1 & r,~N" ~n~ 0988
Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of March 14, 1988
Page: 5
proposal to discuss, the Board must decide to either approve or deny
the first proposal.
Daryl Goodwin: Mr. Goodwin stated that if a pumpout station is to be
placed at Mystery Bay the best place would be on the west end of the
dock because it is easier for the boats to get in and out of and is
closer to the middle of the park. Chairman Brown explained that
changing the proposal to that degree can not be accomplished in the
time frame allowed by the Department of Fisheries.
Mrs. Hubbard questioned the ability of boats to maneuver around private
moorings on the west end of the dock and the possible problems created
for emergency vehicles to lend aid to someone in trouble on the dock.
The Chairman called a recess to allow everyone present to review the
plan submitted by the Parks and Recreation Commission for the permanent
installation (Phase 2) of the facility. This plan would move the
facility from the east end of the dock. The floats that have been on
the east end of the dock will be moved to the west end and recon-
figured. Mr. Heiser stated that if this compromise proposal is accep-
table to the parties present, he would like to the Board to make a
determination on it.
The discussion then turned to Phase 1. Chairman Brown noted that Mrs.
McDonnell expressed concern about it because it would be in place for
the full summer boating season. Mr. Heiser stated that they would like
to install phase 2 as soon after Labor Day as possible so as not to
disturb the boat activity in this area during the summer. The Chairman
asked if this installation could be started on June 15 and be finished
before Labor Day? Mr. Heiser stated that it is department policy to
not work on facilities during the tourist season except in the case of
an emergency. Phase 1 would be installed by July 1 and be left in
place through the end of the year.
Commissioner Dennison moved to approve the compromise proposal sub-
mitted by the Parks and Recreation Commission for the pumpout facility
to be located no further than 43 feet from east of the entrance ramp to
the boat dock and placement of the other recreational floats on the
west end of the dock at the angle as proposed on the Parks Commission
drawing and agreed to by Mrs. McDonnell. Commissioner George Brown
seconded the motion because Mrs. McDonnell stated that this proposal
was the least unacceptable to her. Commissioner Dennison amended his
motion to include a condition that this permit will expire on December
31, 1988. Commissioner George Brown seconded the amendment. The
Chairman called for a vote on the motion and the amendment to the
motion. The motion and amendment carried by a unanimous vote.
Preliminary Subdivision Aggroval: Pope Resources Recreational
Vehicle Park. Port Ludlow; Poge Resources, applicant: (See also Minutes
of February 8, 1988) Senior Planner Rachel Nathanson reviewed this
project which consists of a 40 unit recreational vehicle park located
a t the corner of Oak Bay Road and Paradise Bay Road. The proposal
would be constructed in two phases with the first twenty units and the
restroom building being completed in the first phase. Each of the
sites will measure 20 by 60 feet and be served with domestic water, a
sewer connection, electricity, cable television and telephone. The
restroom/shower building will be approximately 600 square feet and will
include recreational facilities such as horse shoe pits and a
volleyball court.
Access to the park will be provided off a private road which has access
to Oak Bay Road and Paradise Bay Road. 3.9 acres will be allocated to
open space which is approximately 55% of the total acreage. There is a
minimum of 120 foot buffer planned along Oak Bay Road.
Various agencies (PUblic Works"Planning, State DOE, County PUD, and
Fire District #3) have reviewed the project, and made suggestions for
conditions of approval. No objections to preliminary approval of the
project were reported. Ms. Nathanson then reviewed the conditions of
approval suggested for the project as well as the Planning Commission's

recommendation and their suggested changes to the conditions of
approval.
The Planning Commission reviewed and suggested changes to the following
conditions:
Drainage Requirements: Add a sentence to this condition
stating "necessary drainage control work as determined by the
Public Works Department shall be implemented prior to final
approval. Special attention shall be given to sediment and
petroleum product runoff and potential contamination of
Ludlow Creek and Ludlow Bay."
SiQ'ns: That signs for the Recreational Vehicle Park shall
only be permitted in sub-area 12 (as identified by the Port
Ludlow Master Plan). These signs are to be consistent with
the overall community signs in that area.
Bill Whitney of the Planning Commission explained that sub-
area 12 is the general area where the park will be located
(can considered to be on-premise) and these signs are to
provide adequate direction and information as a matter of
safety.
Site Use: The use of the site shall be limited to Recrea-
tional Vehicles.
David Cunningham, representing Pope Resources, explained to the Board
that the reasons for this R.V. Park: 1) It will be a place for people
who come to visit homeowners in the development to stay in their
R. V. 's, 2) To accommodate the contractors and workers who will be
working on the expansion of the Port Ludlow Development, and 3) It will
be used as a marketing tool to encourage potential purchasers to come
to the area and stay the night to become familiar with the community.
Port Ludlow will be redesigning their uniform signing program and signs
for this park will be kept in the commercial area (sub-area 12) and
they will be consistent with the sign program.
Commissioner Dennison moved to issue the preliminary subdivision
approved as recommended by the Planning Commission with the conditions
as revised, for the Pope Resources Recreational Vehicle Park at Port
Ludlow. Commissioner George Brown seconded the motion. The motion'
passed by a unanimous vote.
S~ate Environmental Policy Act Review: Salmon Farm. South
Point: OlvmDic Sea Farms: Planning and Building Department Director,
David Goldsmith, reported that the Board issued a Declaration of Non-
Significance on the OlYmPic Sea Farms Salmon Net Pen proposal at South
Point. The fifteen day comment period triggered by the action was
extended to March 14, 1988 to give the State Department of Fisheries
time to prepare a response to concerns expressed about the conflict
with the traditional fisheries in this area. Six other responses have
been received on this DNS.
Department of EcoloQ'V: The DOE states that the County should
pursue a mitigated DNS on this proposal to bring it into
compliance with the interim guidelines for aquaculture
projects. The mitigation should address the following items:
depth of water under the pen system; geoduck production and
habi tat loss that may occur; and phasing of the project so
that impacts can be evaluated at each step.
South Point Coalition: The South Point Coalition listed the
following reasons that they feel a DNS is inappropriate for
this project:
* A major conflict exists with a pre-existing fishery.
* Other adverse impacts that need further analysis -
accumulation of waste on nearby beaches, effect on the
geoduck brood stock habitat, effects on sea cucumbers
and sea urchins, and potential for water quality

*
degradation as well as problems for navigation in Hood
Canal.
Cumulative impact of all the minor impacts would render
the project major and significant.
The SEPA rules require that a Declaration of Sig-
nificance be prepared for projects that are determined
to have a probable significant adverse environmental
impact.
*
WashinQ'ton State Parks << Recreation Commission: They suggest
the following:
* The pens should be re-configured to be parallel to the
shoreline.
The four outside corners of the system be equipped with
navigational lights.
The checklist and supplemental information should be
upgraded to address the impacts to nearby recreational
shellfish harvesting.
*
*
State Department of Fisheries:
comments:
They made the following
*
The project deviates from the Interim Guidelines and the
project proponent should substantiate that no environ-
mental degradation would occur from this variance and/or
bring the project in line with the interim guidelines.
Project design changes and/or monitoring should be
required to mitigate potential impacts to water quality.
The geoduck impacts can be dealt with during the
hydraulics permit approval.
*
*
Point No Point Treatv Council: They stated that the project
will "have a significant adverse impact on the exercise of
the Tribes treaty reserved fishing rights". They are also
concerned about the cumulative impacts of this particular
facility and potential future facilities.
State Department of Fisheries: This is a response to the
County's request for information on the conflict between the
capture fishery and the proposed net pen facility.
* The DOF was unable to quantify how much the South Point
Area contributed to the Area 12 fishery.
This proposal may alter the ability of non-indians to
meet resource allocations.
The fleet as a whole could be impacted by this proposal
because it may constrict the area available for the
fishery.
Consideration should be given to potential cumulative
impacts of other facilities in Hood Canal particularly
if this proposal sets a precedent for other similar
projects.
Mitigation of impacts should be to the fishery and not
the type of gear that is used.
The potential impacts on geoduck, sea cucumbers and sea
urchins are not considered significant.
*
*
*
*
*
The Board, David Goldsmith advised, has several choices: 1) Request
additional information from the applicant to address the issues raised
during this comment period, 2) Determine that no additional environmen-
tal review is necessary and retain the DNS which would allow the,
project to move into the permit phase, 3) Determine that the proposal
requires specific mitigation to address environmental concerns which
would mean that the mitigative measures would have to be specified and
a mitigated Declaration of Non-Significance issued, or 4) Determine
that the proposal will have a probable significant environmental impact
and issue a Determination of Significance and require the preparation
of an environmental impact statement.
Gina McMather asked that the Board review each specific comment
received in detail because of the complex nature of the information
received. Discussion ensued regarding the review process and the
VOl
14 rAr,~

implications of the various actions that the Board may take on this
project.
Commissioner George Brown moved to table action on this project for one
week to allow time to review the information received and to discuss
this matter wi th the Prosecuting Attorney. Commissioner Dennison
seconded the motion. The motion passed by a unanimous vote.
Variance Request: Setback to Street Side Prooerty Line. Coyle
Road: United Telephone Co. Rachel Nathanson reported that this setback
var iance request is for a 10 by 10 foot wood frame structure to be
bui 1 t on a si te in the Coyle area at the intersection of Zelatchet
Point Road and Hazel Point Road (on Coyle Road) for maintenance of
equipment. This parcel of property is only 20 feet by 20 feet and in
order to construct the proposed building on the site a three foot
setback from the back property line and a six foot, eight inch, setback
from the road right of way are needed. The Public Works Department
inspected the site and found that there is no problem with sight
distance and they have no objection to granting the variances.
Commissioner George Brown moved to grant the variances are requested by
Uni ted Telephone Company. Commissioner Dennison seconded the motion
which carried by a unanimous vote.
Amendment to the Shine Plat and Second Shine Plat Covenants:
The Shine Plat was filed with the 'Auditor on March 17, 1958 and the
Second Shine Plat was filed on September 8, 1959 along with the
protective covenants. A petition by 100% of the property owners in the
two plats, David Goldsmith reported, has been submitted to amend items
1 and 7 of the protective covenants. Covenant number 1 will be amended
to include the following: "each dwelling house shall be used for a
single family residence only." Item 7 will state that "These protec-
tive restrictions shall be perpetual" instead of for twenty five years
from the date of the plat as currently stated.
Commissioner Dennison moved to approve and sign Resolution No. 26-88
amending the Shine Plat and the. Second Shine Plat as requested.
Commissioner George Brown seconded the motion. The motion passed by a
unanimous vote.
Shoreline Commission vacancY on West End of, County: David
Goldsmith explained that there are nine full time Shoreline Commission
members and one ex-officio member from the west end of the county. The
west end member resigned and there has been no response to the adver-
tisements for someone to serve from that area.

Homer Smith III re: County Insurance PolicY Renewals: Homer
Smith III submitted a listing of the renewal costs for renewal of the
County's various insurance policies for 1988-89 which total $153,911
opposed to $128,398 for the same coverage last year. Homer Smith
advised that he is still waiting for quotes from other carriers and
will report back next week.

Property: The Assessor, Prosecuting Attorney, Public Works Director
and the Planning and Building Department Director, came before the
Board to discuss the County's position on the railroad right-of-way
that the County has claim to in platted areas. The question in platted
areas is over the ownership of the railroad corridor. Jack Westerman
suggested that the County consider offering the railroad the net

liquidation value for the property in instances where it may have some
claim to the right-of-way based on usage, in return to a quitclaim
deed with no reservations. There is still a question regarding the
platted interest of adjacent property owners, which could be taken to
court for settlement.
The meeting was recessed on Monday evening and reconvened
Tuesday afternoon with all Board members present.
Mayor Brent Shirley. Members of the Caoe GeorGe Sewer
District Board of Commissioners. Bob WUbbena of Economic and EnGineer-
inG Services and Public Works Director Gary Rowe re: Sewaae Disposal:
(See also Minutes of February 8, 1988) Representatives of the City,
Cape George Sewer District, Economic and Engineering Services, CH2M
Hill and the Public Works Department met to discuss further plans for
designing the Port Townsend sewage treatment facility to handle sept age
that is currently being dumped at the County landfill and possibly
handling septage disposal for the new Cape George sewer system.
Gordon Nicholson of CH2M Hill, which is the firm the City has hired to
engineer their wastewater treatment plant, explained that the City has
been asked to design their plant to accommodate the treatment of
septage from the County. The Cape George Sewer District has also asked
to be allowed to bring their septic tank effluent to the City for
treatment. As these requests were researched concerns about funding
arose. The three consultants representing the City, County, and the
Cape George Sewer District have met to discuss ideas. Each of these
agencies are on different time schedules for their projects and are
dealing with different funding arrangements. The ideas that have been
discussed are conceptual plans which do not yet have hard costs
attached to them.
The main things being discussed are: Septage Flexibility: what kind of
flexibility can be designed into the City's treatment plant to solve
the disposal problem for the County. Three options have been dis-
cussed:
Option 1)
Option
2)
3)
Incorporate the septage treatment in the plans
for the facility from the beginning,
Include the sept age as a deductible alternate
in a bid package.
Do two parallel designs, one treatment plant
with septage and one without.
Option
Costs associated with these Options: The discussion turned to the
funding options available and estimated costs for these options.
How to Accommodate Treatment of Leachate: Plans for the treatment of
leachate at the landfill or at the treatment plant were then discussed,
wi th estimated costs for the various plans. Options to allow Cape
George Sewer District to hook up to a system were also discussed.
Mayor Brent Shirley advised that the City would like a commitment from
the County that they will pay their portion of the cost for the
engineering needed to accommodate the final configuration that is
adopted. The funding options available to the City and how the County
could arrange to pay their portion of the costs were discussed. It was
the consensus of the representatives from the City and the County that
a "Letter of Understanding" be developed for the two agencies which
will outline how the planning and final plan determination will
proceed.
MEMORANDUMS OF AGREEMENT re: Labor for 1987 and 1988;
3efferson County Emoloyees Guild: Commissioner Dennison moved to
approve the Memorandums of Agreement for 1987 and 1988 with the
Jefferson County Employees Guild. Commissioner George Brown seconded
the motion. The motion passed by a unanimous vote.
