Cheryl Van Dvke re: Peninsula Tourism: Cheryl Van Dyke
invited the Board to attend a Chamber of Commerce Board Retreat and
stated that this is be'1hg,done because the Chamber is findiJjlg that they
do not have enough money to continue some of their programsi
Priorities will be set for the programs that the Chamber sponsors. A
second meeting will be held to help the Chamber set priorities for the
use of the Hotel/Motel tax funds they receive. .
The Peninsula Tourism Council (Region 8) to which the County donated
$1,000 this year promotes the entire OlYmPic Peninsula as aitourism
destination. The State matches the contribution made by ea~h group to
this Council. The Council is made up of five counties: 3~fferson,
Clallam, Grays Harbor, Kitsap and Mason. 3efferson County ~as
traditionally had two representatives, both from Port Townsend. Ms.
Van Dyke asked that the Board appoint a third representativ~ to this
Council from the County. Ms. Van Dyke then reviewed the Council's
marketing plan.

Deborah Shomerre: Proposal for VFW Ball (1020 Water street):
Ms. Shomer asked the Board what the County's plans are for the VFW Hall
and asked that a proposal to close off the upstairs portioniof the
building and make the downstairs usable, be considered. Public Works
Director, Gary Rowe, outlined the four items that need to be done to
the building to make it insurable: 1) The second and third floors
need to be sealed off, 2) If second floor is not sealed offithen
another tire escape would have to be provided, 3) The facility wiring
would have to be inspected by a Certified Inspector, and thEm brought
up to code and 4) Fire extinguishers would have to be provided for the
bUilding. The insurance company requires that any buildingiuser have
the County named as an additional insured on their insuranc+ policy
which would have to include Comprehensive Liability, etc.
There are interested parties, Ms. Shomer added, who would be willing to
put some work into seeing that the VFW Hall be made usable, !if they had
some support from the County. Chairman Dennison stated that he would
like to see a proposal from the people who are willing to work on the
i
building, that would include bringing the building up to the necessary
standard to decrease the County's insurance liability. !
The Board should also investigate selling the building and *sing the
income from that to bring the Port Townsend Community center. up to a
standard that would accommodate the demand for public space After
further discussion of the condition of the building, the in urance

problems the condition posses and the possible uses for the building
Commissioner B.G. Brown moved to declare the VFW Hall surplus and to
start the proceedings to put the building up for sale. Commissioner
George Brown seconded the motion for the purpose of discussion.
Commissioner B.G. Brown added that there is a need to have spaces
available that the public can rent in the City, but the cost of
bringing the VFW Hall building up to code will require that the County
charge a rental fee that would be substantially higher than it was
previously. Some of the people who used that facility, even in the
condition it was in, used it just because it was affordable. .Chairman
Dennison stated that he is not ready to make a conclusive decision
about selling the old VFWHall (Pioneer Building is the correct name)
until the issue of finding affordable rental space for community groups
is addressed.
Ms. Shomer then stated that she feels the pressure is off of the County
r~ght now to do anything with the building because it is closed and the
insurance is not a problem. If the County would like to take up the
offer of volunteer help to fix up the building a commitment would have
to be made for a specific period of time, say five years.
Commissioner B.G. Brown called for the question. Chairman Dennison
restated the motion that was made and seconded to declare the VFW Hall
surplus and that the sale of the building to explored. Commissioners
B.G. and George Brown voted in favor of the motion, with Chairman
Dennison voting against the motion. The motion carried. The Treasurer
will be directed to start the sale proceedings.
1986 BudGet Transfers: Various County DeDQrtments:
Commissioner B.G. Brown moved to approve and sign Resolution No. 6A-87

departments: Sheriff, County Clerk, and District Court. Commissioner
George Brown seconded the motion.

of the following Petty Cash Accounts: Advance Travel, Auditor, Clerk,
Commissioners, District Court, Health, Human Services, Mental Health
(Day Treatment Program), Planning, Sheriff, Solid Waste, and Treasurer,
for a total amount of $10,053.00.
Resianation of Member from the Civil Service Commission for

Postina Notice of Purchase between $1,000 and $3,500: Culvert
Pipe Purchase: Gary Rowe asked that the quotes received for the
purchase of 400 lineal feet of 18 inch culvert pipe by the Public Works
Department be posted for three days as required. Since the low bidder
was Armco in the amount of $2,290.76, Commissioner B.G. Brown moved to
approve the purchase of the culvert pipe from Armco after the posting
period expires. Commissioner George Brown seconded the motion.
AGREEMENT re: Installation of Water Line. Oak Bay Park: City
of Port Townsend: This agreement, Gary Rowe explained, is a "Late
Comer Agreement" which states that any property owner that wants to
hook up to the water line installed to the Oak Bay Park during the next
ten years must reimburse the County for their share of the cost of the
water line installation. Commissioner B..G. Brown moved to approve the
agreement with the City to recoup the water line installation costs
from hook ups for the next ten years. Commissioner George Brown
seconded the motion.
1987 Capital Purchases: Eauipment Rental and Revolvina Fund:
Gary Rowe reviewed the list of 1987 Capital Purchases from the
Equipment Rental and Revolving Fund. The bidding specifications will
be developed for the items that require bids because they cannot be
purchased off another County's bid or from the State contract.

Appeal re: Flood Plain Ordinance Requirement: W. E. Sellman.
Brinnon: Associate Planner, Bob Duffy, reported that Mr. Sellman has
applied for a building permit fora substsntial addition to his home on
the Duckabush River which is located in a flood area. The Flood Plain
Management Ordinance defines IIsubstantial improvementll as one that is
worth 50% or more of the value of the structure. The Ordinance
requires that the lowest floor of the structure be one foot above the
base flood elevation which was established by Mr. Sellman as 14 feet.
Mr. Sellman's proposed patio is at an elevation of 12.75 feet. Mr.
Sellman has the following options with regard to this situation: 1)
The home addition could be raised to meet the required height, 2) The
value of the addition could be reduced to an amount which would be less
than the 50% which is considered a IIsubstantial development", 3) An
engineer or surveyor could be hired to see if a lower base flood
elevation can be established, (this may not work if Mr. Sellman's
figures are accurate), and 4) Mr Sellman can obtain a variance from
the Flood Plain Management Ordinance, as outlined in Section 7.2 of the
Ordinance. Mr. Sellman has requested a hearing on this issue and does
not want to hire an outside engineer. 'He also objects to having to
lower the improvement value to below 50%.
Mr. Sellman then reported that he purchased this property a little over
ten years ago and over that time he has rip rapped the river front and
raised his property to an elevation which has resulted in no flooding
on the site. There have been as many as four floods during the winter
over the last several years and the structure floor has never been any
closer than 16 inches to the top of these floods. He stated that he
can not see any reason that his home should have to be raised any
higher than it is, especially since his home is one of the highest
along the river for a half a mile in either direction. The Sellman's
have been spending their winters here, but now they are going to move
here permanently, Mr. Sellman continued, and the addition to the home
will allow them to have enough room when their children and
grandchildren visit. As far as building 50% of the value, Mr. Sellman
stated that he could build less than 50~ this year and then next year
add another 50% to that and the next year another 50% to that, which
would be expensive. The 28 foot addition proposed would allow a dining
room, kitohen, bathroom and another bedroom as well as some storage
room. He does not want to raise the level of the floor because t~at
would require stairs which are hard on older. people. The foundation

has been installed because of Mr. Sellman's plans to be out of the area
during the winter.
Commissioner B.G. Brown noted that it doesn't make any sense to have
Mr. Sellman stage his project over a two year period in order to build
his addition the size he wishes and at the elevation he wishes. This
would not serve the purpose of the Flood Plain Ordinance. Rachel
Nathanson, Senior Planner, reported that Mr. Sellman's proposal is an
addition of new rooms to the structure which is considered new
construction. The discussion of the intent of the Flood Plain
Ordinance was then discussed.
The 50% substantial development limit was put into the Ordinance,
Rachel Nathanson reported, so that existing structures would be brought
into compliance with the regulations when substantial improvements are
made. The Federal Emergency Management Agency makes the requirements
for the Flood Program in order for the County residents to be eligible
for reduced rate flood insurance, subsidized by the government.
Lending institutions require that the homeowner carry this flood
insurance to be eligible for financing. Mr. Sellman added that he does
not have this flood insurance. Any property owner can waive their
option to purchase this insurance, Bob Duffy reported.
The elevations on the FEMA map are fairly general in some areas
Commissioner B.G. Brown noted, and added that an Engineer may find
something different, but that would be fairly expensive to have done.
This Ordinance was passed to not only keep the County in compliance
with the regulations for FEMA flood insurance, but also to allow
properties in flood areas to obtain mortgage financing through lending
institutions. Chairman Dennison asked if granting a variance to Mr.
Sellman would have an effect on the County's eligibility for federal
flood insurance?
Bob Duffy reminded the Board that there are various findings that must
be made (as stated in Section 7.2 of the Ordinance) before a variance
can be granted. Commissioner George Brown asked Mr. Sellman to think
about the future when he might want to sell his home and a prospective
purchaser may want to secure financing through a bank, which could not
be done if he doesn't have the flood insurance. Commissioner B.G.
Brown added that, if the Board grants a variance, it would not have any
effect on being able to buy flood insurance for this property at a
later date.
Mr. Sellman added that he doesn't see how hiring an Engineer or
Surveyor will change the flood height established by FEMA. Chairman
Dennison asked about the possibility of Mr. Sellman being able to make
less than a 50% addition this year and then another addition next year.
Ms. Nathanson stated that such an interpretation of the Ordinance would
have to be checked with FEMA. Ms. Nathanson's interpretation of the
Ordinance is that any improvement that Mr. Sellman would make a
building permit for, would have to meet the requirements of the Flood
Plain Ordinance.
The Board then reviewed the conditions and criteria for allowing Mr.
Sellman a variance with the following determinations being made.:
1) Reauest for variance heard no later than 45 days after
date of filina: Even though Mr. Sellman filed his request
November 11, 1986, because Mr. Sellman could not be
contacted, the Board waived this requirement.
2) Reconstruction or rehabilitation of structures listed on
the National Register of Historic Places or the State
Inventory of Historic Places: Mr. Sellman's structure is not
on either of these lists so this requirement was waived.
3) Variance cannot be issued in a desianated floodway if any
increase in flood levels would result: Mr. Sellman's
property is not in the floodway, so this does not apply.
~VOL

Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of 3anuary 26, 1987
Page: 5
4) Variance shall only be issued upon a determination that
the variance is the minimum necessary considerina the flood
hazard, to afford relief: Mr. Sellman stated that he wants
to keep his home on one level due to the hazards that stairs
pose to elderly people. He cannot afford the cost to raise
the structure to the level required. Chairman Dennison stated
that he does not believe that the law intended that variances
from it should be given for convenience. If variances are
granted that do not apply to the intent of the regulations,
Chairman Dennison asked if it is possible that FEMA could
deny the Qounty flood insurance? Bob Duffy said that if the
Board follows the variance process by analyzing the request,
FEMA would not have any reason to cancel the County's
eligibility for flood insurance. No determination was made
on this point.
5) Variances shall only be issued upon a showina of aood
and sufficient cause: The Board agreed that there is a
showing of good and sufficient cause.
6) Determination that failure to arant the variance would result
in exceptional hardship to the applicant: Commissioner B.G. Brown
said that from Mr. Sellman's statements today, exceptional
hardship could be claimed.
7) Grantina a variance will not result in increased flood
heiahts, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary
public expense, create nuisances, cause fraud or
victimization of the pUblic or conflict with existing local
laws or ordinances: The Board determined that granting Mr.
Sellman a variance will not result in any of the conditions
noted.
8) In makina a decision reaardina a variance request the
Board will consider the terms and intent of this ordinance
and the potential that materials may be swept durina floodina
on to other lands to the detriment of others: This would not
be a problem with Mr. Sellman's property.
9) Actual danaer to life and property if flooding or
erosion occurs: Granting a variance would not cause a
problem in this regard.
10) Susceptibility of the proposed development and its'
contents to flood damaae: The Board determined that it is
unlikely that Mr. Sellman's home and its' contents would be
susceptible to flood damage in a 100 year flood event.
11) Importance of the services provided bY the proposed
facility to the community: This does not apply.
12) Necessity of the development of a waterfront location:
Does not apply.
13) Availabilitv of the alternative locations for the
proposed use: Does not apply because there are no
al ternative locations.,
14) Relationship of the proposed use to the Comprehensive
Plan and the Flood Plain Manaaement Program for that area:
No conflict.
15) Safety of access to the property in time of flood for
ordinary and emeraency vehicles: Since the road is lower
than the existing property, granting a variance would not
have any effect on the access.
16) . Expected heiahts, velocity, duration, rate of rise,
sediment transport or flood waters and effects of wave action
at the site: Tides do have an influence on this site, but
~VOL 13 rAGEt ~ 0282
.,
Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of 3anuary 26, 1981
Page: 6
granting the variance will have no additional effect that is
not present now.
17) Cost of providing governmental services durina and after
flood conditions includina maintenance reoair or public
utilities and facilities: . No public utilities and facilities
are on this property and the variance would not have an
