PLANlUBG AND BUILDXBG Shoreline Substantial Development Permit #88-0018: Repair of Two Piers and Construction of a Floatina Dock, Lower Hadlock: Rov Bewell, ADDlicant: Associate Planner, Jim Pearson, explained this Shoreline permit application from Roy Newell's project to repair and extend two piers and to construct a floating dock in Lower Hadlock on Port Townsend Bay. This project is being done to provide moorage for the proponents vessel. The northerly most pier (16 feet wide and 60 feet long) will be lengthened approximately 84 feet. The southern pier (8 feet wide and 10 feet long) will have a ramp connected to a floating dock attached to the end of it. This dock would be secured between an existing piling and a proposed piling. Water and power lines would be placed on the dock and piers, however, no illumination is proposed on the pier other than that required by the Coast Guard. ' The staff findings and proposed conditions, as well as the written testimony, were then reviewed, by Mr. Pearson. An adjacent property owner stated opposi tion to the proposal due to the manner in which the proponent has maintained the site. Chairman Brown stated that most of the complaints outlined by the written testimony from adjacent property ,owners have to do wi th the use of the property other than where the project is planned. He asked Mr. Newell if this project will change the use of the upland portion of his property? Mr. I VDt. 14 fM~~ t) 3991 . 'l: .' -- Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of November 28, 1988 Page: 3 Newell responded that most of the material that is stored on the property is for the dock. Commissioner George Brown moved to approve the issuance of a Shoreline substantial Development Permit with the conditions as presented for the Roy Newell project. Chairman Brown seconded the motion. The motion carried by a unanimous vote. Shoreline Substantial Deve 1 ogment permit #88-0016: Pope Resources Xnner Harbor Village, Port Ludlow: Pope Resources, Applicant: The updated staff report on the Pope Resources IIiner Harbor Village Subdivision was presented by Associate Planner Jim Pearson. He then reviewed the staff and Shoreline Commission findings and recommendation, the testimony received, and the suggested conditions of approval. ** This portion of the meeting minutes was written by Jim Pearson of the Planning Department staff, due to a malfunction of the tape recording of the meeting. David Cunningham~ Pope Resources, objected to the last sentence of condition number 15 which was added by the Shoreline Commission to the condition as recommended by the Planning Department staff. This last sentence read as follows: "In no case shall vege~a~ion removal exceed 20$." He stated that the condition as recommended by the Planning Department staff had created a mechanism to address the State Department of Fisheries concerns for preserving overhang- ing shoreline vegetation. He felt that the addition of the 20% requirement to the condition was arbitrary. Assistant Planner, Jim Pearson stated that when the sentence had been added, there was discussion of whether it should refer to amount, type, or area of vegetation and the Shoreline Commission had elected to keep the language as proposed. He also noted that Policy #2 and Performance Standard #4 of Section 5.160 Residential Development of the Shoreline Master Program address protection of water quality and shoreline aesthetics and that preservation of shoreline vegetation beyond Department of Fisheries concerns for overhanging vegetation was a legitimate concern for the Shoreline Commission and the Board. Chairman Brown stated concern about how to interpret the last sentence and whether it would achieve a desireable result. Commissioner George Brown moved to strike the last sentence of Condition #15. Chairman Brown seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. *** End of minutes written by Planning Department staff. C. Montgomery Johnson, Protect Ludlow Bay Committee, stated that the Shoreline Commission gave the Board a recommendation for approval of this permit by a majority action of its' members. There were as many people who said that there should be an Environmental Impact Statement done for this project as voted majority approval of the application. The Protect Ludlow Bay Committee may appeal the decision the Board makes today. They will decide within the next thirty days, whether or not to appeal under Section 9.202 to the State Shorelines Hearings Board, the Department of Ecology and the Attorney General. The probable arguments that will be used in these appeals are those that have been given as testimony during the review of this project and specifically those given to the Shoreline Commission. Mr. Johnson advised the County to be sure to advise the applicant of the language under Shoreline Management Act procedure 6.402 item #9 which says "a recipien~ of a Shoreline Subs~antial Developmen~ Permi~ fro11l the Coun~y Dr Ci ~y shall no~ commence developmen~ Dr cons~ruc~ion un~il 30 days from ~he da~e of filing wi~hthe Washing~on Sta~e Depar~men~ of Ecology Dr un~il all appeal proceedings have ~ermina ted. " The Protect Ludlow Bay Commi ttee presumes that this would include, 1) the Community Center and 2) any earth moving or running of bulldozers on that property. Anything that is under the Shoreline permit application cannot be started as outlined in this section. ....CL 14 ,,,, ~.- .,' ,'. ~ ,-', \:".'- r .

Local Emeraencv PlanninG Committee re: County BAZMAT Plan: Bob Henderson and Vern Jones submitted the County HAZMAT plan for the Commis- sioners to review and to consider for adoption with the overall County Emergency Services Plan. The Prosecuting Attorney is reviewing the plan also. The minimum training requirement for a first response Hazmat team, Bob Henderson reported, is 24 hours. Since small counties' have to rely on volunteers to serve on this type of team, this training requirement could be a problem. Vern Jones added that in the future there could be a need for a budget request to meet the requirements of this plan. After this plan is adopted by the County it will be distributed to various State and County agencies.
