Killa>>ieBeach: Assistant Planner, Bob Duffy reported that this permit application is for a shellfishaquacul- ture facility on Killapie Beach that places oysters in bags on ra~ks. The racks measure three feet by ten feet by two feet and are imbedded into the tideland for growth and harvest of oysters. A small scale test was conducted under a permit exemption, and it determined that the site has potential for this purpose and the applicant would like to expand the facility. This application is for a primary use under the current classification system which does not require review by the Shoreline Commission. Mr. Duffy asked if the Board would like to refer this application to the Shoreline Commission for a hearing? This site is adjacent to an area that has been designated ve~y unstable and has been restricted for building. The intertidal area has many submerged rocks. The project is planned in three phases with the first stage of 100 racks in place by autumn. Another 200 racks would be in place by autumn of 1988 with the final phase bringing the total to 400 racks in place by 1939. The tidelands are leased by the project proponent, Bob Duffy concluded. Commissioner B.G. Brown moved to refer this project to the Shoreline Commission for their review and recommendation. Commissioner George Brown seconded the motion.

Mr. Duffy then reviewed the house plans and site plan of this structure for the Board. The proposed house would be thirty seven feet high and is located on a fifty acre parcel of property on Dabob Bay. The house is currently under construction and that is why variance from the administrative proce- dures which require that the Shoreli'ne Commission review is being requested. The Planning Department recommends approval of these two variances. . Commissioner B.G. Brown moved to approve the variances as requested for the Barber residence on Dabob Bay providing that the Fire District concurs wi th the height variance. Commi ssioner George Brown seconded the motion.

Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of August 3, 1987 Page: 4 SHERIFF Sheriff Mel Mefford and Ed Sasser. Jail Suoervisor re: Jail Standards Resolution: Sheriff Mel Mefford reported that the legisla- ture, through SHB 738, terminated the State Corrections Standards Board effective tbis year. The physical plant standards that are in place in the State currently are adequate except in the area of over crowding. If overcrowding o~curs there are two ways to deal with it: 1) Suspend the Physical Plant Standards or 2) Reorganize the way that custodial care prisoners are housed. The option that would be preferable to the County would be to ~eorganize the custodial care housing. If the all of the Physical Plant Standards and Custodial Care Standards are adopted with the excepti on of those that I 1mi t capacity (WAC 289-15- 225), that would allow reorganization based on professional , accepted corrections criteria and allow the capacity to fluctuate. The discussion continued regarding the policies to be used when over crowding occurs and how the standards effect them. The Board asked that Ed Sasser put his recommendation in writing and they will consider adopting a resolution. Discussion turned to the new State law regulating dangerous animals. The Board asked the Sheriff to review the new law and make a recommen- dation on what will be needed to update the County's Animal Control Ordinance to conform with this new legislation. The Prosecuting Attorney will be asked to review this legislation and make recommenda- tions for ch~ngesin the County's Ordinance also. * * * Betty Anderson re: 1990 Local Census Review Pro2ram Coor- dinator and the Bazardous Materials Plannin2 Committee: Betty Anderson came before the Board to advise them that she is willing to take the position of 1990 Local Census Review Coordinator on the condition that the Public Works Department and Planning Department will have staff persons available to help her when the census information is returned from Olympia for ~hecking.
