I i I PLANNING 1 I Open Space Taxation Agreements (4); Charles $unstone, Jr: Assistant Planner, Rachel Nathanson reported that the Planning Department had sought a clarif- ication on one of the conditions of approval for the Charles Gunstone, Jr. Open Space Taxation Agreements which requir~d that if! the tidelands become decertified by the State that the adjacent warcels/ w~,)Uld be taken out of the Open Space Current Use Tax Assessment Program. When a parcel is taken out of this program there is normally a compensating tax that must be paid at that time, The Prosecuting Attorney advtsed that the RCW does state that if there is an official action by an agency of the State of Washington or by the County or City within which the l~nd is loc~ted which disallows the present use of such land, it is exempt from the compensating tax. This information will be kept with these Agreeme~ts. I Addressing System (911) Policy: The Planni~g Department staff, Rachel Nathanson reported, had explained to a Mr. ~illiam Hursey of Brinnon that the County policy is not to issue an addres~ to a piece of property before the Health Department has issued an approve~ sewage d~sposal system permit. Mr, Hursey lives on his Brinnon property inla travel trailer and has never applied to the Health Department for a sitelevaluation or a sewage disposal system, I ' I Mel Herod, Fire: Chief' for' Fire District #4 in Brinnon issued an address for Mr. Hursey's property after he was told that the County would not issue the address, because of his concern about t~e ability of the Fire Department to respond to an emergency situation at a l~cation with no address. I Commissioner Brown noted t at the main purp~se of the: 911 addressing system is to provide efficient em rgency services ~o the residents of the County and there are people who 0 lylJark t;he~1l" R.V~ on theit property during the year, which, if there is n address on the I property, would make it hard for the emergency service tovideTs to find~ If it is found after talking with the County Fire Distr'cts and the County Emergency Service providers, that this is a problem, th poli~y may needito be changed in some way to accomodate an address for hese types of pr~perty, ' I I Shold Excavating Noise Eva ~tion: Rachel N~thansonreported to the Board, nelg orlng property owners eSB ovington avd Randy R~bins and Sam Swanson a representative from Shol Excavating, that the Planning Department received a letter from Shold Excava ing's Attorney w~ich ~tateo that Shold has taken steps to quiet it's rock c usher and is und~rtaking to do all that it can to lessen the noise emanat'ng from its rocklcrusher, I , I Sam Swanspn reiterated tha ,Shold Excavating is trying to do everything possible ithirt reasonable economic limits to be a gopd neighbor, but he noted tha he does not thi kthe Planning D~partment has done enough monitoring work to m ke ~ determinati n that Shold is in violatibn of the noise levels. The Plann'ng Department sa s the inaximum letel is 60 db while Mr. Swanson noted tha Sholdsinterpret tion of the RCW fould put their operation in a Class C I, vel of 70 db bec use of the type of industrial operation, The aqjacent property being ag icultural would flso be a Class C. I I VOl: 1 0 Z573 I I Minutes, Week of August 19, 1985 Page 3: The County passed a Resolution adopt ng the noise standards from WAC 173.60 as the local standards an . in doing so, Rach-el Nathanson reported, referred to a section of t 'e WAC that state!) that in lieu of zoning, the County can go by the lan, use designations of the County Comprehensive Plan. The Tri-Area Co 'munitylPlan designates the area where Shold Excavating ~s located as:commerf! ial with F, he adjacent property also designated commerclal. I I ' Jess Covington added that even thoug his l~nd is a farm he has never used it as agricultural land and the ,e are two homesites on the property. He also asked that the County addres .. the Wtnd drift that changes with the tides in this area and carries t.e nois$ over a h~lf a mile away, ,. I , , The Board concurred with Rachel Nath 'nson t~at the Prosecuting Attorney will need to make a determination oniwhat Ctass and therefore what decible levels are allowable for Shold Excavting and the Board added that once that is determined then some basel in , infor~ation will have to be gathered and monitoring done to make sure tha' Sholdlis in compliance with the levels set. i I ; Point No Point Treaty Council; I peopl~ were prepent when Mitch e Point No PointiTreaty Council's Shoreline Application #SH8-85 to plae a saimon net pEm system in Quilcene Bay.
