Georae Christiansen, Chairman; Beverlv Gauntlett & Isabel Brekke; Jefferson County Coordinatina Committee for OlYmpic Area Aaency on Aaina (03A) re: Budaets for 1981: Mr. Christian reported to the Board that he had heard disturbing news about cuts in the federal budget (up to 20% in some areas) which will impact some of 03A's programs. The Coordinating Committee collects grass roots information and feeds it to the 03A and want to make sure that the County Commissioners receive it also. Chairman Pitts explained that the County provides funding for the position of Coordinator at the Tri Area and Quilcene Community Centers as well as some funding for paper goods, cleaning equipment, and repairs at all of the community centers. The increase in the over 65 population in this area is significant, Mr. Christiansen continued, with there being 3,100 persons over 66. The annual income for people on Social Security in this area amounts to over $20 million per year. Mr. Christiansen asked what will happen to some of the funding help that is needed by 03A as these budget cuts occur? Chairman Pitts stated that he would like to continue to have the input that the Coordinating Committee is willing to provide and would like to know any way that the Board could assist them. How services can be provided for the Senior Citizens in this area as their population gets larger, and older is a question that needs to be addressed in the future, especially in light of the budget cuts that will probably occur. Commissioner Dennison asked for a list of the priority needs of the Senior citizens in the County(so that as cut backs occur the Board will know what needs are most important to the senior citizens. Isabel Brekke reported that the Committee is in the midst of a survey to determine top priorities and critical funding areas which is scheduled for completion in .1uly.

The bank is solid rock up from the shoreline and due to the highway encroachment and the narrow width of the lot there is no other place on the lot to build a structure. Tom Aumock appeared on behalf of the Pearsons and explained that they have an existing mobile home, .septic system and well on the site. The Pearsons are proposing to remove the mobile home and build a home on the same location. The actual variance footage has not been determined but should be appro~imately 10 feet. There are no structures on adjacent properties to use in the determination of the setback from the bluff. Bob Duffy added that there is no concern for slope stability on this site due to the geology of the area. Discussion ensued regarding the setback requirements as they are outlined in the Shoreline Management Master Program and the possible impacts that allowing 'this setback may have on future adjacent proposals. In order to determine if this structure can be accommodated through the use of a variance from the road, the Board asked that a profile of the lot be provided. Mr. Aumock advised that because of the concerns noted by the Board, he would be willing to request a continuation for further review of the proposal at the Board's next meeting and will provide more specific measurements and a profile of the lot. SEPA Threshold Determination; Northwest Electrical Apparatus; Bob Lovina; Glen Cove Industrial Park: Rachel Nathanson reviewed the EnVironmental checklist for this proposed 8,400 square foot electric motor repair shop to be located on the west side of Otto Street in the Glen Cove Industrial Park (Block 33). The structure, parking, and septic system drainfield will be located on lots 3 through 10. Two one hundred foot wide access points are proposed for the Eisenbeis Avenue and Charles Avenue rights-of-way. There will not be any retail service on the property, Rachel Nathanson reported. Electric motors are picked up at various locations in Port Angeles, brought to the facility, repaired and returned back to their respective owners. The motors are washed down, with high pressure hoses and biodegradable soap, while some parts are further cleaned by being placed in a vapor degreaser which is a sealed unit. The solids that are cleaned off of the motors inth~s degreaser are dumped at the County landfill. Some parts are soaked in various other solvents, some of which have not be identified by the proponent other than by their shelf name. The Trichloroethylene used in the sealed vapor degreaseI' is highly carcinogenic and it is on the DOE's extremely hazardous waste list. There is concern about its' use and storage. None of this solvent is dumped here in the County because it is used in a sealed environment and is reclaimed by the company that supplies it. The applicant has made an appointment with the DOE to get further information on the regulations that govern the use of the solvents. . The ten mitigative measures, based on the checklist, were then reviewed by Ms. Nathanson, who noted that they include uch items as limiting access ,on Otto street, a utility crossing permit be obtained, ditches to be constructed, six parking spaces be provi ed, the furnace be approved by the Olympic Air Pollution Control thority, no off-premise ~ VOL 1 ~Att (f-'2151 Minutes, Week of .1une 23,1986 Page: 3 signs, no discharge o.f soaps, oils or toxic materials into the ground and verification be provided that the operations meet DOE requirements. Commissioner Dennison expressed concern that the project proponent does not realize what he is dealing with in regard to hazardous wastes and the use of Trichloroethylene. A better of plan for dealing with these solvents must be provided, Commissioner Dennison stated, before he would be willing to approve this project. Rachel Nathanson reported that she had been in touch with Greg Cloud of the State Department of Ecology, who advised that the use and disposal of hazardous materials is governed by RCW's and WAC's. The DOE has the authority to deal with the use of these substances, but there is no information currently about how they are dealing with this project. The SEPA regulations allow the Board to seek further information before making a threshold determination. More information, Commissioner Dennison added, is needed from the DOE regarding the use of the Trichloroethylene by the project proponent, if it is still carcinogenic after it is volatilized; and what risks are involved with the solids dumped at the landfill. A plan is needed from the project proponent which outlines how these hazardous substances will be dealt with and what will be done with any excess. Commissioner Brown moved to have the Planning Department ask for further information on item 34 of the environmental checklist which deals with toxic chemicals, any associated runoff and/or loss of chemicals. Commissioner Dennison seconded the motion. Setback and Heiaht variance reQUest: Fence for Greenwood Cemetery in Chimacum: Dean Nelson: Mr. Nelson is proposing to build a fence and gate along the Beaver Valley Road property boundary of the Greenwood Cemetery in Chimacum, Rachel Nathanson reported. Avariance is being requested to allow a five foot high fence to be installed along the property boundary with a zero setback and another variance is being requested to allow a brick entrance structure which would be eight feet in height (variance is required for anything over six feet in height). The Public Works Department reported that they did not feel there would be any site distance problem if the fence and entrance structure were built. Commissioner Dennison expressed concern about the zero setback which may impair future use of the road right-of-way, if granted. Commissioner Dennison moved to refer this matter back to the Public Works Department fQr their consideration of the impact that a zerO setback may have on future plans for the Beaver Valley Road right-of- way and to have the Planning Department contact Mr. Nelson to determine exactly why the setback variance is necessary. Commissioner Brown seconded the motion. Refund ReQUest; Current Use Tax Assessment Fee; Plannina/Buildina Department: Commissioner Brown moved to approve the Refund Request in the amount of $6.00 to allow the paYment of the filing fee for a Tax Assessment Agreement from the application fee that was submitted.

Any new property owner would be required to reapply for a license to use the right-of-way adjacent to this property. After checking with a Title company, it was determined that a license to use right-of-way is not attached to the property title because it is not a part of the property. Application to Open Riaht of Way; Eisenbeis Avenue & Charles Avenue, Glen Cove Industrial Park (Eisenbeis Bavview Plat); Northwest Electric Apparatus; Bob Lovina: This application to open right-of-way, Gary Rowe reported, is to allow the opening of Eisenbeis and Charles Avenues in the Eisenbeis Bayview Plat (Glen Cove Industrial Park) to provide accesses to this business. The Public Works Department recommendation is to approve the application with the road being constructed to County road standards. The Board advised that no action will be taken on this application until after the SEPA determination is made on the project. (See Planning Department business Page 2).

The only portion not being vacated would be the northerly 30 feet (designated as Scott Road) which provides access to the back of the Kiveley Center. The Public Works department reports, Gary Rowe added, that the road has not been used for public vehicular traffic since 1911 and is physically blocked east of Scott Road and will be blocked at the Oak Bay Road Intersection once the Hadlock Intersection Project is complete. The drainage easement should be retained. Private easements for ingress, egress and utilities should be required for Tax Lot 62 because that parcel's physical access to Oak Bay Road will be blocked. lVOl 12 ~Att (J - 2153 .> Minutes, Week of .1une 23, 1986 Page: 5 The Chairman asked for comments for or against the proposed intent to vacate.
