The Public Works department has reviewed this application and recommends approval of opening the right-of-way for a private access as requested. Commissioner Dennison moved to rescind the vacation of a portion of Stevens Street as approved on June 17, 1985 due to the lack of compensation payment by the applicant and his subsequent notification that he does not wish to pursue this vacation and to approve the application to open right-of-way for Stevens Street as requested by Marlene Windom.

Near Pleasant Harbor: Juanita Draper. Applicant: Senior Planner, Rachel Nathanson, explained that Juanita Draper has submitted an application for a subdivision exemption to give half of her 2.74 acres of property to her son. The exemption criteria requires that a sixty foot access and utility easement be granted. This parcel is only 160 feet in width and Mrs. Draper is concerned that a sixty foot easement would reduce the useable portion of the southerly lot. She is asking that she be allowed to grant a thirty foot easement on the west side of this property. The Public Works Department did not do a site inspection of the property but did respond that a thirty foot easement may not be adequate for future access development if the terrain is steep. The surrounding properties are served with legal access, Rachel Nathanson reported, and the need to extend this access easement in the future to serve other properties is unlikely. The Planning Commission reviewed this request and found that the currently existing driveway is located within the area being designated as an access easement. The Planning Commission expressed concerns about the response from the Public Works Department, as well as the lack of response from the Fire District and the State Department of Transportation and the possible future use of the thirty foot easement as properties continue to be divided. The Planning Commission did, however, recommend that the easement be granted after the following conditions are met: 1) The access easement be established for the exclusive use of the Draper property, 2) The access to the Highway be shared by both properties and no new access would be allowed, and 3) Written concurrence of the variance requested be received from the Fire District, the Public Works Department and the State Department of Transportation. LVOL 14 rACE or 4514 ., Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of December 27, 1988 Page: 3 Three letters have been received, Rachel Nathanson reported: 1) from the Public Works Department stating that they inspected the site, and they agree that a thirty foot easement will provide adequate access to the upper lot, 2) Fire District #4 states that they concur with the recommendation for approval, and 3) the State Department of Transportation states that they have no objection to the variance being granted as requested. After discussion of the problems that may develop in the future due to this type of property division, Rachel Nathanson advised that the reason that sixty foot easements are required is to provide adequate access for properties which may be developed in the future. Commissioner George Brown requested by Juanita Draper. carried by a unanimous vote. moved to grant the subdivision variance as Commissioner Dennison seconded the motion which Workshop on Proposed Revisions of the Flood plain Management Ordinance: Associate Planner, Jim Pearson, submitted copies of proposed revisions to the Flood plain Management Ordinance. These revision are required by the Washington State Administrative Code (WAC) to meet federal regulations. Five sections of the Ordinance are to be revised: Definitions, Administration, Flood Area Protection Provisions, Floodway and Legal Provisions. In addition two new sections are proposed: Wetlands Management in Flood Hazard Areas and Coastal High Hazard Areas. Jim Pearson explained that the State Department of Ecology may be revising the Coastal High Hazard Areas section completely due to concerns noted by the coastal counties. He then reviewed the proposed changes to this Ordinance after explaining that these changes are required to be adopted in order for the County to continue in the national flood insurance program. This program subsidizes flood insurance for property owners who have structures in identified flood areas. He advised that the State Department of Ecology will be reviewing these proposed changes after the SEPA review is done by the Board. A public hearing will be held by the Board on the proposed changes after the proper public notification has been published.
