REARING re: Pet:ition for Vacation of County" Road: Portion of
Alley on South Border of Lot 6 Block 1. Correia's Addition to Irondale:
J'ohn F. Keeaan. petitioner: After the Acting Chairman opened the
public hearing, Public Works Administrative Assistant, Carter Breskin,
reported that Mr. Keegan has petitioned to vacate only a portion (seven
feet wide by 50 feet long) of the alley that runs between the Correia
and Phillips Additions to Irondale. Eva Taylor owns the lots on the
other side of the alley from Mr. Keegan's property and has no objection
to the vacation request. The alley was originally taken out of
Correia's Addition and it is the Prosecuting Attorney's opinion that if
vacated, it should revert to the Correia's Addition. Mr. Keegan has
built a shop building on most of the alley.
The Planning Commission,reviewed the vacation and recommends approval.
, The Public Works Department has no objection to the vacation and the
Assessor's Office stated the assessed value of the vacated property is
$161.53 of which Mr. Keegan would be required to pay 50% or $80.76.
Being no public comment, Acting Chairman B.G. Brown closed the hearing.
Commissioner George Brown moved to approve the petition for vacation as
submitted by J'ohn F. Keegan. Acting Chairman B.G. Brown seconded the
motion. The Public Works Department will prepare the necessary
resolution ordering the vacation upon receiving payment from Mr.
Keegan.

R. Sho1d: (See also Minutes of March 9 and April 6, 1987 under
Planning Department business) Public Works Director Gary Rowe explained
that Mr. Sho1d has made an agreement with the County to dedicate right-

ment it will be sold along with the property and the new owner will
have to apply for a new license to use the right-of-way for parking.

included.

Maintain County Road right-of-way for Walter R. Shold as submitted and
recommended by the Public Works Department. Acting Chairman B.G. Brown
seconded the motion.
Public Works Trust Fund Loan: Beaver Valley Road Project
Close OUt Loan .PW-86-017: Gary Rowe submitted the close out report on
the Public Works Trust Fund Loan for the Beaver Valley Road Project.

final project cost being $674,313.97. The total actual loan allocation
was $495,200.00. Commissioner George Brown moved to approve and sign

the State Department of Community Development for the Public Works
Trust Fund Loan Program was not sufficient and the County is being
required to issue bonds for this loan amount. The County's Bond
Attorney, Hugh Spitzer, has drafted the necessary bond resolutions for
the financing of this project. After discussion of the bonding process
and requirements, Gary Rowe advised that he will research the whole
process further and report back next week.
PLANNING
Bu11dinaPermit Variance Reauest: Brinnon School District
.46: Senior Planner, Rachel Nathanson, reported that the Brinnon
School District is building an addition; to their existing structure and
are requesting a variance for the issuance of the building permit.
Normally when a building permit is issued Health Department approval is
received first which includes State approval of the water system. The
Brinnon School District has submitted their water system plans to the
State Department of Social and Health Services but the system has not
received State approval yet. The School District would like a variance
to allow them to obtain their building permit prior to receiving DSHS
approval of their water system. A contingency can be added to the
building permit that if the State approval is not received before the
building is finished the School District will not occupy the addition
until this approval is received.
Commissioner George Brown moved to approve the variance for the
issuance of the building permit to Brinnon School District #46 as
requested with the condition that the Certificate of Occupancy will not
be issued until the water system appr~val is received from the State
DSHS. Acting Chairman B.G. Brown seconded the motion.
Current Use Tax Applicat10n:Timberland Desianation: portaae
Canal: 30seph & Tashia Dunlap. applicant:s: This application submitted
by J'oseph &: Tashia Dunlap, is to designate 15.24 acres located on the
western side of Portage Canal, just south of Flagler Road, as timber-
land, Rachel Nathanson reported. The Dunlap's own a total of 23 acres,
but all the area within 200 feet of the waterfront (approximate 7.48

acres, which includes two residences) cannot be included in the open
space timber classification. The 15.24 acres to be designated has been
managed for timber production for some time and includes four acres of
35 year old Douglas Fir ahd 23 acres with a 70 year old conifer mix
(the acreage figures don't add up but were taken from a DNR Timber
Management Plan done in .June of 1985). The DNR Timber Management Plan
suggests that the 70 year old stand should be cut during a good log
market and be replanted. The applicant has provided an updated
management plan which explains actions that have been taken since the
DNR plan was done in 1985.
The current assessed value of the total acreage (23 acres) is
$200,330.00 with the revised assessed value of the timberland portion
being $146,630.00. The tax shift to the County Tax payers on the
timberland portion only would be $531.00 per year. The Planning
Commission recommends approval of the application with the condition of
approval requiring the property owner to submit an updated timber
management plan to the Assessor every three years.
Commissioner George Brown moved to approve the Current Use Tax Applica-
tion as condi tioned and recommended by the Planning Commission for
.Joseph &: Tashia Dunlap. Acting Chairman B.G. Brown seconded the
motion.
Shoreline Subst:antial Development Permit Revision SB20-81:
Coyle Community Club Dock Relocat:ion: Fisherman's Harbor: .Jack Hussey,
representing the Coyle Community Club, was present when Associate
Planner, Bob Duffy reported that the permit revision being requested by
the Coyle Community Club is to relocate their dock in Fisherman's
Harbor 2.5 feet westward. The five anchors around the pilings would
also be moved to the outside edge of the pilings, and 15 of the piers
on the west side of the dock would be extended two feet. This would be
an approximate 90 square foot total increase in over water coverage.
This revision request can be reviewed and acted upon by the Board
because it is less than 500 square feet (or less than 10%) of
additional over water coverage, Mr. Duffy added. The Planning Depart-
ment recommends approval of the permit revision as requested.
Commissioner George Brown moved to approve the revision of Shoreline
Substantial Development Permit #SH20-81 as requested by the Coyle
Community Club. Acting Chairman B.G. Brown seconded the motion.
Determination of Sianificance: Outstation at Port Ludlow:
Seattle Yacht: Club: Bob Duffy reported that the Determination of
Significance issued for the Seattle Yacht Club's Shoreline Permit
Application for an outstation at Port Ludlow is being reissued in order
to include a date of issuance on the determination form. There are
some changes to the proposed description, Mr. Duffy added, however the
site plan and the basic concept remain unchanged. The latest version
of the Determination of Significance will govern and will be processed
as required under local and state law. . The comments that were sub-
mitted under the first Determination of Significance will be included
in the record of the environmental review and will not need to be
resubmitted.
The deadlipe for comment on the latest version of the Determination of
Significance is .June 1, 1981. This revision is being made at the
request of the Prosecuting Attorney. Commissioner George Brown moved
to issue a Determination of Significance and Request for Comments on
Scope of EIS as recommended by the Planning Department, for the Seattle
Yacht Club. Acting Chairman B.G. Brown seconded the motion.
An updated scope for the project which incorporates comments from the
two community meetings that were held on the first Determination of
Significance, will be issued along with this Determination of Sig-
nificance

Permit Application to locate a mooring buoy in Mystery Bay. The Board

has reviewed the environmental checklist and has not found that any
additional information is needed with respect to the checklist.

significance and Lead Agency Status for the mooring buoy to be placed

seconded the motion.
Shoreline Commission Referral - Shoreline Substantial
Development Permit Ap'Dlication: Fish Enhancement Facility -West End
COUeet:s area): Washinaton State Department of Fisheries: Bob Duffy ex-
plained that the Washington State Department of Fisheries has submitted
a Shoreline Substantial Development. Permi t Application for a fish
enhancement facility to be placed in the Queets area of western
.Jefferson County. The Planning Department has classified this applica-
tion as a "primary use" which means that it does not have to be
reviewed by the Shoreline Commission unless the Board so chooses. Mr.
Duffy asked if the Board would like to submit this application to the
Shoreline Commission for .their review? Mr. Duffy added that the Board
could refer this application to the Shoreline Commission at a later
date if they feel that it has become necessary due to controversy.
Commissioner George Brown moved that this application not be referred
to the Shoreline Commission. Acting Chairman B.G. Brown seconded the
motion.
Shoreline Substantial Development Permit A"plication: Salmon
Farm - Off of Indian Island: Sea FarJBs of. Norwav: The application
received from Sea Farms of Norway for a salmon farm off of Indian

Environmental. Review of Bindina Site Plan: Commercial
Development off Rhody Drive in Hadlock: Walter R. Shold: (See also
License on Page 2 of these Minutes and the Minutes of April 6, 1987)
Rachel Nathanson explained that Mr. Sho1d's commercial development just
off of Rhody Drive in Hadlock along Colwell Street is to sell in-
dividual lots so that the purchaser can build a commerCial building on
the lot with its' own septic system that will in turn be hooked up to a
communi ty drainfield provided by the developer. The approval of this
proposal included that a set of covenants and restrictions as well as
an overall binding site plan, be filed with the County prior to
issuance of building permits for the site.
Two changes need to be made in Condition Number 8 of the original
conditions of approval as follows: 1) Building setback from the Colwell
Street right-of-way needs to be changed from fifty five feet to thirty
feet. The Planning Department recommends that this change be made in
the conditions of approval and 2) Change lot setbacks from 40 feet on
the eastern property boundary (Lot 19 Block 23 and Lot 4 of Block 26)
to 20 feet. The 40 foot setback makes these .10ts unbui1dable. The
site plan originally required the forty foot setback to allow for flow
through traffic in the alley and parking behind the building. This has
been changed by the developer and the buildings will be moved toward
the alley, away from Colwell Street, so the forty foot setback is not
necessary. A twenty foot setback would accommodate fire truck access
to the alley behind the buildings.
Commissioner George Brown moved to approve the changes as recommended
