Ken Hillman, Pope Resources re: 1986 Aerial Spray Maps: Tom 3ay representing the Herbicide Spray Coalition was present when Mr. Hillman presented a set of contour maps which were marked with the sites that will be aerially sprayed with herbicides during the 1986 spray season. There are approximately 800 acres designated for aerial. spray this year, out of 1,200 to 1,500 acres that need spraying, due to monetary constraints. The following areas were noted: Shine area, Sandy Shore Lake (off County Road 14), two areas off of Discovery Bay, an area (200 acres) behind Brinnon, and Penny Creek drainage behind the QUilcene Fish Hatchery (120 acres). The map will be posted in the Cooperative Extension Office; a condensed version with section coordinates listed, published in the newspaper ; and posted in the County Commissioner's Office. Anyone with questions, will be directed to the Cooperative Extension Office or Pope Resources" at 297-3292. After further discussion of the location of the spray areas and how close these areas are to streams, and private property, as well as the sampling program for 1985, Tom Jay advised that he will work with Ken Hillman to set up another sampling program in 1986 with volunteers, using the protocol that was developed by the Cooperative Extension Agent last year. The D.S.H.S. laboratory will process the water samples again this year. Tom Jay will report back to the Board when this program is set.

VOL 12 fAGf I"" 1095 Minutes, Week of March 24, 1986 Page: 2 Pat Slevin, Bavshore Enterprises and Quentin Goodrich, Presi- dent, Bayshore Enterprises Board of Directors re: New Animal Shelter: Quentin Goodrich, President of the Bayshore Enterprises Board of Direc- tors submitted a letter and reported that the Animal Shelter Project Committee consisting of representatives from the City of Port Townsend and the County have reviewed several sites for a new animal shelter. This Committee is now proposing that the County property located near the Honda Shop (State Highway 20 near the City limits) meets the criteria of being an easily accessible central location for the County as well as the City and has the necessary utilities available nearby. The question is, would the County be willing to lease this property to Bayshore Enterprises for the use of the animal shelter program. Pat Slevin reported that the original proposal was to remodel the present shelter; but when the building permit for the remodeling was applied for the City of Port Townsend advised that there were problems with this location because of serious septic problems and the location of the building on the road right of way. A $20,000 grant for the new animal shelter is being held by the Marguerite Doe Foundation, which the City of Port Townsend has agreed to match. Since the County can not contribute any money, the sites that were considered were County owned properties, which would then constitute the County's contribution to ,the project. There are two grants Involved from the State on which the County is listed as sponsor. A fair market value for this 2.07 acres will have to be determined. Bayshore will also determine how much of this property will be needed for the animal shelter, and report back to the Board with this information. David Goldsmith will discuss possible lease arrangements with the Prosecuting Attorney.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT Shoreline Substantial Development Permit Application #SH14- 84: Dock, Discovery Bay: 3ames Burlile: Associate Planner, Bob Duffy, reported to the Board, in the presence of Mr. & Mrs. Burlile, that when the Board originally reviewed this proposal 'for a dock on September 9, 1985 (See Minutes) concerns were expressed about protecting the natural resources of the tidelands and the potential proliferation of docks in this area as well as a concern for the disposition of County owned tidelands over which the proposed dock would be constructed. The Board tabled the request until the disposition of the County owned tidelands could be resolved. The Planning Department has contacted the State for information on the value and productivity of these tidelands, and the State has not shown any interest in these tidelands. The Gunstone's were contacted regard- ing the productivity of the clam beds on the tidelands, which they reported is about average. A bathymetric survey was presented for the Board's review and it was noted that there is some uncertainty about the county's ownership of these tidelands, Bob Duffy further reported. After further discussion and review of the Shoreline Commission's recommendations and the Planning and Building Department staff's subse- quent analysis of low tide frequency, Commissioner Brown moved for approval of the Shoreline Permit application for a 195 foot dock with the conditions as recommended by the Shoreline Commission. Commissioner Dennison seconded the motion for the purpose of discus- sion. ,VOL 12 rAGE () 1097' Minutes, Week of March 24, 1986 Page: 4 Commissioner Dennison then noted that he does not believe this site is an appropriate place for a dock due to the shallowness of. Discovery Bay at this point. This dock would set a precedent by allowing a greater than average length, dock on Discovery Bay. Building a dock of this length for the purpose of docking one particular type of boat runs contrary to policy, Commissioner Dennison added. Mr. Burlileadvised that his boat is currently moored about 500 feet of fshore of his property. A more permanent moorage with electricity available is needed for proper maintenance of his boat. The closest public moorage facility is at Sequim Bay Marina which would cost $134.00 per month without electricity provided. .This dock would increase the value of his property, Mr. Burlile added. The possibility of putting anymore docks on this end of Discovery aay is remote due to the shallowness o~ the Bay and the property ownership in this area. The Chairman called for a vote on the motion. Commissioner Brown voted in favor of the motion, with Commissioner Dennison and Chairman Pitts voting against it and the motion failed. Commissioner Dennison then moved to deny this Shoreline Permit Applica- tion #SH14-84 on the basis that, this project was found to be inconsis- tent with the policies and performance standards of the Shoreline Management Master Program (Section 5.60 Docks, Piers and Floats; Stan- dard Number 4 and Standard # ) Commissioner Brown'seconded the motion and the Chairman called for the vote. Commissioners Dennison and Pitts voted in favor of the motion with Commissioner Brown voting against the motion, which carried. Bob Duffy added that the State will be advised of the action within eight days and after they receive it, there will be a 30 day review and appeal period, during which time a review by the State Shorelines Hearings Board can be requested. SEPA Determinationre: SH6-86; Leonard Pederson: This Shore- line Permit application for a dock in Port Ludlow Bay will be reviewed by the Shoreline Commission with a. recommendation to be made to the Board. The Board's task today is to review this project under SEPAand either determine that it is non-significant or that it will require an Environmental Impact Statement. Bob Duffy then reviewed the environmental checklist for this proposal to replace a dock with a floating dock facility on the southern side of Port Ludlow Bay. This facility will provide a larger float to accommo- date a vessel up to 40 feet in size and is intended for private use only. The Planning Department staff did not find any adverse environ- mental impacts that could not be mitigated. Commissioner Brown moved that a Determination of Non-Significance and Lead Agency Status be issued on this project. Commissioner Dennison seconded the motion. Buildina Department Refund Requests: Commissioner Brown moved and Commissioner Dennison seconded the motion to approve the following request for refunds on building permits: David Howell OlYmPic Northern Forest Products, Inc.
