Draft Ordinance re :3ail Bousinq Fees for Certain Alcohol Related Offenses: Sheriff Mel Mefford reported that several counties have adopted similar Ordinances which charge jail housing fees for DWI offenders violating RCW 46.61.502 and 46.61.504.

The maximum an eligible offender would pay is $50.00 with most offenders being charged $25.00. Offenders will be required to fill out a monthly income statement when they are booked in for a DWI charge, and that information would be the basis for determining their fee.

Shoreline Substantial Permit A lication- Primar Use' Installation of a Moori Buo ste Sa" Art Price: Associate Planner Bob Duffy reported that this project to place a mooring buoy in Mystery Bay off Kill sut Harbor has been classified as a primary use by the Planning Depa tment through utilization of the tables in the Shoreline Management Master Program. Primary use designations are normally handled di ectly by the Board, but Mr. Duffy asked if the Board would like to re ommend that the Shoreline Commis- sion hold a public hearing on this pplication? There is an issue of setting precedence on the way that mooring buoy applications will be handled in the future. This buoy is located on a bay that already has a number of mooring buoy located in it. This particular buoy is not directly in front of the applicants home which, if it was, would make it exempt from' the permitting proce s. Acting Chairman Brown stated that he sees no reason to have the Shoreline Commission hold a public h aring on the application unless it is a controversial issue. If it is a primary use which doesn't pose any problem, then the Board could t ke action on this request. After further discussion of the matter C mmissioner George Brown moved to have the Planning Department handle his permit application and make a recommendation to the Board for acti n. Acting Chairman Brown seconded the motion. Current Use Tax Assessmen A lication: CZ-86 S :w Beach Wetland owners: Ludlow Bav: Senior lanner, Rachel Nathanson, reviewed the Current Use Tax Assessment Appl cation submitted by six adjacent property owners for the Squaw Beach etland area of Ludlow Bay. These property owners are all located on udlow Bay and share ownership of these wetlands located on Lots 26, 1, 28, 29 and 30 of Ludlow Beach Tracts #2 as well as Tax parcels 4 and 5 in Section 15 Township 28 Range 1E on the east side of the Bay. The total acreage of the wetlands is approximately three acr s, with the total acreage in the lots being just over 10 acres. The application only covers the property that is covered by wetla d, not portions that include the property owners homes and other imp ovemen'ts. The request is being made because this wetland's primary use is as a habitat for wildlife and birds and it is an aesthetic for ground for all who walk the beach. This classification would provide pr tection of the wetland from other uses in the future. The findings were then reviewed by s. Nathanson. The properties in this area were all assessed at $150 er front foot. The owners of the wetland area asked the Assessor to r -evaluate their lots because they are not as usable (or valuable) be ause of the flooding Qf the wet- lands. The Assessor did decreas the valuation of the properties adjacent to the wetlands. These lo s now range Invalue from $650 to $100 per front foot, based on the mount of wetland area covering a particular lot. The Assessor's pos tion is that these properties are currently receiving reduction in va ue, however, placing this wetland property in the Open, Space classification would assure that this property is not developed in the fu ure and clear up the question of how that property should be valued n the future. The owners of this property are agreeable to and encou age public access as required by the Open Space classification, bu they do not want signs erected, because they feel they would be n aesthetic intrusion and would essentially go against the intent of the classification. V('\1, 13 r~f:r r1.117 Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of April 6, 1981 Page: 5 The property, . Ms. Nathanson continued, is subject to flooding during every 8.5 foot or higher tide. There are 221 such times scheduled to occur in 1981. The Planning Commission reviewed the request and recommends that a condition be placed on the approval that no buildings construction or development other than trails, walkways, and bridges shall be permitted into the wetland area. They also recommend that the request be approved as conditioned. ' Mr. Montgomery 30hnson reiterated that the property owners are agree- able to and encourage public access to the tidelands across the beach as has always been allowed, but they are adamant that there be no public access to the ""etland because the area is very fragile. Rachel Nathanson reported that the conditions of approval recommended by the Planning Commission do not require public access. Mr. 30hnson also added that there are 222 8.5 foot or higher tides during 1981, not 221. Commissioner George Brown moved to approve the Current Use Tax Assess- ment Application #CZ-86 for the Squaw Beach Wetland Owners as recom- mended and conditioned by the Planning Commission. The wording regarding the access to the beach will be changed to reflect the intent as stated by the property owners. Acting Acting Chairman Brown seconded the motion. SEPA Review: Dick Shold Commercial Bindina Site Plan: Chalmer's 2nd Addition: Rhodv Drive, Badlock: (See also Minutes of March 9, 1981) Rachel Nathanson reported that Mr. Shold has decided that he will not apply for vacating the Colwell Street right-of-way as discussed previously. The project plans have not been changed, and he is continuing with a commercial mall type development for portions of Chalmer 's Second Addition to Irondale (including Blocks 23 and 26). The lots will be sold individually, with a common use drainfield area being provided by the developer. The Planning Department is requiring that Mr. Shold detail exactly what will, be done on that property in the form of a binding site plan that wi II be filed along wi th the covenants and restrictions on the property. This will bind the future buyers to develop their site in accordance with the overall general plan. Such things as number of parking spaces, access points, etc. will be included in this plan. Access will only be allowed from Colwell Street. The buildings planned by the purchasers may be different than currently proposed by the developer, but as long as they are not larger than proposed there shouldn't be any problem with issuing and approving individual building permits for this development as long as the buildings meet the condi- tions or approval. Ms. Nathanson then reviewed the environmental checklist for this project. In response to Acting Acting Chairman Brown' squestion regarding how the continuing maintenance of the septic system will be assured, Ms. Nathanson reported that that issue will be addressed in the Covenants put on the property. This whole project is contingent on Health Department approval. Mr. Shold is proposing to obtain a license to use the Colwell Street right-of-way for landscaping. Seventeen conditions of approval are proposed for this binding site plan, which Ms. Nathan- son then reviewed for the Board. Commissioner George Brown moved to issue a Determination of Non- Significance and Lead Agency Status for the Walter R. Shold commercial development on Rhody Drive (Chalmer's 2nd Addition) in Hadlock with the seventeen conditions of approval as suggested by the Planning Depart- ment. Acting Acting Chairman Brown seconded the motion. Setback Variance ReQUest: West Pine Street, Paradise Bav Area: Prentiss Abbott: Mr. Abbott applied for a building permit to place a 22 x 15 foot storage structure on Lot 22 in Block D of the Paradise View Estates, Rachel Nathanson reported. This is located on the corner of West Pine Street and West Boat Drive. He is requesting a variance from the reqUired five foot setback from a side lot line. The VOL 13 ~AGf FA l . . 1.118 Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of April 6, 1981 Page: 6 left front corner of the carport/storage structure is approximately four feet from his neighbors property line. The neighbor is aware of this matter and has no objection to the variance being granted. Commissioner George Brown moved to approve the setback variance as requested by Mr. Abbott. Acting Acting Chairman Brown seconded the motion. Setback Variance Reauest: Boat Drive & Paradise Bay Drive: Robert J'or~: Mr. 30rdan proposes to put an 8 foot by 33 foot mobile home on Lot 1 in Block D of Paradise View Estates. This is a trian- gUlar shaped lot. The Paradise View Estates covenants and restrictions require a ten foot setback on all property lines, however, the County requires a twenty foot setback on road rights-of-way. After review of the site plan for the Board, Ms. Nathanson advised that the Health Department reports that the placement of the mobile as proposed by Mr. 30rdan does not meet the 10 foot setback required from the sewage disposal system. There is only a five foot setback from the road right-of-way along Boat Drive. There isa,possibillty that the mobile home can be moved to at least meet the ten foot setback required from the septic system and it would also make the ten foot setback from Boat Drive, however the applicant does not want to move the mobile home because the view would not be as good. Public Works advised that they would approve the variance for no more than 10 feet from Boat Drive and the setback on Paradise Bay Road should remain at twenty feet to allow for sufficient site distance at the intersection of Paradise Bay Road and West Boat Drive. Acting Acting Chairman Brown proposed, and Commissioner George Brown agreed, that the Board visit the site to see if the applicant's wishes can be accommodated without adverse effect on the concerns noted by the Public Works and Health Departments. Mike Ajax will arrange a site inspection of the property for the Board. Tuesdav A]:)ril 1, 1981: Shoreline Substantial Development Permit ApPlication: Installation of a Commercial Shellfish Culture Facilitvin Bood Canal: Allseasons Acruafarm, Inc.: This proposal would' locate a commercial shell fish culture facility about 300 to 600 feet offshore from Hood Head in Hood Canal. Oysters, scallops and other shellfish would be grown in an area approximately 250 feet by 1,000 feet (5 acres) in waters 28 to 62 feet deep. The installation would be done in phases, Associate Planner Bob Duffy reported. Mr. Duffy then reviewed the Planning Department and Shoreline Commission findings for the Board, as well as the Shoreline Commission recommendation for approval of the project with the revised suggested conditions for the project. A representative of the project proponent reported that there as been a modification made in the project. The original proposal stated that 20 foot long lines would be used. Now that the system will be in deeper water the long lines will be 'ten feet from the bottom, so that in water that is fifty feet deep the long lines would be about forty feet long. Commissioner George Brown asked about the level of noise that would be created? The project proponent advised that 55 decibels on the beach was agreed to with the upland property owners. This might be a hard condition to meet, but a boat with a muffled engine will be used, and the project proponent will do everything possible to meet this condi- tion. Commissioner George Brown moved to accept the Shoreline Commission recommendation and amended condi tions and approve the Shoreline Substantial Development Permit for Allseasons Aquafarms, Inc. Acting Acting Chairman Brown seconded the motion.

J'im Pearson re: Moore Street Closure - Beach Road: Georae Cotton: The Board advised Mr. Pearson that they have drafted a letter to Mr. Cotton advising him that the gate he installed across Moore Street in Irondale was erected without a permit and must be. removed within thirty days. The public right to get from the end of the road to the peach on Moore Street is a question that will have to be decided by civil action. Any civil action would have to be instigated by private parties interested in this access. The next move is up to Mr. Cotton, if he removes the gate the public has the right to utilize the public road, however, Mr. Cotton could erect a fence or gate outside the county right-of-way unless a civil action directs otherwise. 3EFFERSON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS 'if t!
