Dennison called the meeting to order at the appointed time in the presence of Commissioner B.G. Brown and Commis- sioner George C. Brown. Charlie Adams, Director, Bavshore Bnterprises and Bonita Flaaa, Bayshore Animal Control re: Bavshore Animal Control proaram: Bonita Flagg submitted an updated activity report on the Bayshore Animal Control program. Next year a full report of the numbers of County animals handled at the shelter will be available because of changes in the reporting system. Of the number of animals handled in the field (impounded and brought into the shelter) 50 percent are from the County, and 50 percent are from within the City. Due to the hiring of an additional staff member more patrols are being done at various times in the City an in the County also. Next year Bayshore will be encouraging people t, license their cats so that they can be traced in 'the same manner as d gs. Letters were sent to dog owners who licensed a dog in 1986 but ot in 1987. Of 150 letter sent, responses were received from 131 0 ers. The discussion then urned to the handling of after hours emergencies. Ms. Flagg reported ,hat the City has an emergency response agreement with Bayshore but he County does not. Commissioner B.G. Brown explained that in pr vious years all after hours responses were handled by the Sheriff's D partment who would call Animal Control if the situation was an em rgency. This is not the procedure under the new contract however, nd a new procedure needs to be developed. The Sheriff's Office wil be asked to provide information on the number of injured or dangerous animal calls they have had to handle over the last year. After reviewing the umane education programs with the Board, Ms. Flagg then introduced C arlie Adams, the new Director of Bayshore Enterprises.

Ilr~:,;; Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of November 9, 1987 Page: 2 and Elwood in the Plat of Eisenbeis Bay View Addition. This area is approximately one half mile south of the City of Port Townsend. Mr. Stroeder is requesting the vacation to allow the development of the property into a recreational vehicle park. Ms. Breskin then ~eviewed the department findings and the Planning Commission recommendation for this petition. The Public Works depart- ment has no objection to the vacation. The Assessor's Office reported that the assessed value of the area to be vacated is $6,400.00 which would mean $3,200.00 in compensation must be paid. The Planning Department had no objection to the vacation petition and advised that the area is designated as Industrial by the Comprehensive Plan. Jefferson County PUD #1 has no objection provided that the utili ties easement is retained. The Planning Commission recommends that the alley vacation be approved but the vacation of Sophia Street be denied. Public Works Director Gary Rowe reported that the Public Works depart- ment reviewed the vacation request and did not feel that vacating Sophia Street would cause any vehicle access problem because there are other streets to provide circulation in the area. The Planning Commis- sion felt that they could not approve the vacation of Sophia Street because there is no circulation plan for the area. Carter Breskin further reported that Mr. Stroeder indicated that he would prefer not to give the PUD an easement along his property. Chairman Dennison then opened the public hearing and asked for comments for or against this petition. Anthony Stroeder, petitioner, stated that he had discussed this vacation proposal with John Floyd of the PUD who did not indicate at that time that an easement would be needed. Mr. Stroeder advised that he would provide an easement if the PUD needs one. If Sophia Street is not vacated, he continued, he would have to reduce the number of proposed sites for his project which would make the cost of the project prohibitive. Hearing no further public comment for or against the proposed vacation, Chairman Dennison closed the hearing. Commissioner B.G. Brown stated that he would still like an explanation the PUD regarding their request for a service easement for the water system. He also asked that the Public Works Department review the traffic circulation in this area, in light of the Planning Commission's recommendation, and make a recommen- dation regarding the impact this vacation would have on proper traffic circulation. Commissioner B.G. Brown moved to table action on this petition for vacation until November 16, 1987. Commissioner George Brown seconded the motion. CONTRACT re: Port Townsend Community Center: The Miller/Hull Partnershio, Architects: Public Works Director Gary Rowe reported that the original scope of work on the Port Townsend Community Center renovation and expansion project by The Miller/Hull Partnership was estimated to cost $14,000.00. This scope of wor~ has been reduced down to a projected cost of $11,000.00. The City has agreed to pay 50 percent of this cost. Commissioner B.G. Brown moved to approve the contract as submitted with The Miller/Hull Partnership. Commissioner George Brown seconded the motion. LICENSE re: Use of County Road Riaht-of-Way: Portion of South Bay Lane: Robert and Elaine Beckman: (See also Minutes of September 21, 1987) This transfer of license to use right-of~way from Mr. << Mrs. Huntley to Mr. & Mrs. Beckman was approved previously contingent on the transfer of the property Deed, which has been done, Gary Rowe report- ed. The wording referencing the rock wall was taken out of the license which is now only for the portion of the garage and carport that is on the right-of-way. The Board asked that a cover letter be sent with this license reminding the Beckman's that no work will be done on the right-of-way without prior approval from the Public Works department. t. 13 ~ ' to 3860 Commiss ioners I Meet ing Minutes: Week of November 9, :1987 Page: 3 Commissioner George Brown moved to approve the license to use County road right-of-way as submitted for Robert & Elaine Beckman.

After discussion of the physical characteristics of the property, Commissioner B. G. Brown moved to approve the applica'tion to open right- of-way as submitted by B.

Plannina and Buildina Director David Goldsmi th, Public Works Director, Gary Rowe and Prosecutina Attorney 30hn Ravmond re: Railroad Property: Jeff Chapman,' Office Supervisor, Assessor's Office reported that all persons owning p'roperty adjacent to the railroad property in the County have received letters asking them to make an offer to purchase the property. Rep~esentatives of the railroad will be in Port Townsend on Thursday and Friday to accept these offers. ' The Assessor's office is still trying to determine the best method of taxing the railroad on the property in question. One quit claim deed I has been received from the railroad to the Port Town~end Paper Company. There have been two Court cases involving this property, but a default judgement was issued in each case giving the prope~ty to the adjacent property owner (Gunstone and Broders) because the railroad did not appear in Court to represent themselves. John Raymond stated that the concern expressed by the Assessor's Office is that if the railroad (assuming they have title to this land) is going to sell the land, they are in effect subdividing this area by cutting it up into parcels less than five acres i~ size. This would mean that they have to comply with the County's Subdivision Ordinance. If the property is being treated as an easement that would revert to the property owner, then they would not be required! to comply with the subdivision ordinance. David Goldsmith reported t~at a boundary line adjustment could be made for ownership reverting to adjacent property owners in this instance. The discussion continued regarding the railroad right-of-way and how it was obtained in various plats in the County. . John RaYmond advised that the first thing the County Planning Depart- mentshould do is to write to the railroad notifying them that they must comply with the County Subdivision Ordinance if they are planning to sell property to adjacent property owners. ' The discussion continued regarding the County's legal responsibilities with regard to the sale of this land by the railr~ad and who will be taxed for the land. Jack Westerman reported that prior to January of 1986 the railroad was an operating utility assessed by the State Department of Revenue for taxes in the amount of 1$2 million. As of January 1986 the Department of Revenue advised the County that the railroad was no longer an operating utility and that the Assessor had to assess the property. About $800,000 in assessed value was deter- mined by the Assessor on five separate parcelsj divided by taxing districts, in 1986 for 1987 taxes. The 1987 asse$sed evaluation for 1988 taxes is the same except that now some of tqe property must be segregated out (the property deeded to Port Townsend Paper Company and the property involved in the Court decisions). A~ter further discussion, the Board directed the Prosecuting Attorney to write to the railroad advising them that they m~st comply with the County's Subdivision Ordinance and the Public Works Department to write to them advising that any damage done to a county road right-of-way will have to be repaired at their expense. Applications for Assistance from the Soldiers' and Sailors' Relief fund: Commissioner B.G.
