PLANNING x Shoreline Substantial Development Permit Application SH14-84, Discovery ay: ames ur 1 e: Associate anner, 0 u y ou~ lne t lS proposed private, recreational dock and float project submitte by James Burlile for his property on the southern end of Discovery Ba. The proposed dock would be 225 fee"t long and four feet wide and wI. uld have a float measuring 10 feet by 30 feet on the end. The purpose of the dock is to provide a mooring for the applicants boat which is currently moored VOL 11. A (? rMG~ U 2877 Minutes, Week of September 9, 1985 Page 3: Business from County Departments (continued): , at a bouy in the bay. The dock would allowl d'rect ccess to the boat that the floating bouy does not. I I Mr. Duffy then reviewed the findings, testifuo posed conditions and the Shoreline Commission recommendationl. ponse to testimony opposing the dock submitted by Charles Guns~odjacent property owner and owner of commercial clam beds adj~c nt to the applicant's tidel~nds, the applicant has revised the pr~j ct an has located the dock on the northerly portion of his lot anp. 's now proposing a joint use dock., which will be shortened to 195 feet in lergth. By moving the dock to the north it will now be almost 20b eet fom the Johnson and Guns tone commercial tidelands. [ One of the most thoroughly discussed issuesl a thehoreline Commission hearing, Bob Duffy reported, was how far th~ ock s ould extend into the bay and how that relates to. it's aestheti impa t, and the precedent setting nature of this project regarding th~ length of future dock pro- posals on Discovery Bay. The Shoreline Commission xamined a bathymetric survey, the applicant's boat draft requirem~ntB and he Bay's tidal elevations and recommended that the dock bei s orten d to 165 feet which would allow reasonable use of the dock in that the pplicant's boat would only be grounded about 50 times a year becapse of 1 w tidal levels. However, Bob Duffy continued, the Planning pe artme t staff analysis subsequent to the Shoreline Commission hear~n reve led an error in the calculation of low tide frequency and in ac~u lity 165 foot dock would result in 151 grounding per year. A dock 1~5 feet n length would only be grounded 48 times a year which is apo tthe same figure that the Shoreline Commission concurred on with ~ ' leng h recommendation. The Shoreline Commission and the project prbponent :!are not aware of this miscalculation. i , , Two other concerns discussed by the Shorelihe Commi potential for sewage contamination from boa~s moore 2) Potential safety hazards that might resu~t from servicing lines that would be run along the! dock in is not part of the present proposal. I Edna Zahn of Port Ludlow asked why the Aqua~ic'Land Lease from the State Department of Natural Resources and tpe lease, trade or easement from Jefferson County fo.rit!s tidelands are p.ot cons dered first, since they are necessary? The Board then discuss~ the m tter of the lease, trade or easement that will be required for! t is pr ject to proceed, with the following concerns noted: I * The possible lessening of value of the property easement or by spliting it into two sec~ionsby The value of the property for resource p oducti Proliferation of docks in Discovery BaYI' A possible arrangement with DNR,o~ oth~ adjac nt tideland owners. , , I Commissioner Brown moved to table action on! this ap decision can be made on the best way to disp se of tidelands that this dock would be built across, Th the Planning Department to contact DNR fori elp in value for the land and suggestions for the !b st dis tidelands, Commissioner Dennison seconded t e moti I sion were: 1) The at the dock and il and gas the future (this * * * by a lease or sale, n. lication until a he County owned Board directed determining a osition of the n. i Mr. Burlile reported that the Department ofl F'sheri the pilings to be placed before December 3[1, and u give him a decision as soon as possible.

The Prosecuting Attorney VOL 11 rAGE o 2878 ~( .. "---1.- Minutes, Week of September 9, 1985 Page 4: advised that the County's position may not pe clearlbecause the WAC outlines three options for dealing with det~rminati~n of noise catagories: 1) If the county has a Comprehensive Plan ~nd a Zo~ing Ordinance then the EDNA's are adopted consistent ~ith the~e to determine whatroise catagory a particular piece of property falls into. 2) If the county has a Comprehensive Plan ~nd no Z6ning Ordinance then the EDNA's are adopted consistent ivith thelComprehensive Plan designations. 1 [ 3) An investigating officer can determine what catf,gory a property is in by use of a set of established crtteria. I 4) The Board of County Commissioners can stngle ou~ a property and by Resolution, designate the noise stan(1ard thaF will apply to tha t property. . I I i It has been the intent since the resolutionlwas ado~ted in 1984 that the Comprehensive Plan would be used for notse desi$nation and if further clarification is necessary the County has the Opti01l1 to specify'what adjacent property owners and the operating properti,s noise designation will be for specific properties. The Planntng Department has drafted a Resolution for the Board's consideration to take the place of the resolution adopted in 1984, which says that the Comptehensive Plan will be used as stated in WAC 173;60.030(3). A! letter has been received from an Attorney asking that no decision bel made onlnoise designations until he can be present. I I; ! I Jess Covington advised that his attorney wo{J.ld like I' to be present and noted that he has not been able to get a copy of tht minutes from the last Commissioners meeting that he attended I, The B ',ard, gave Mr. Covington a copy of the proposed resolution and agree(1 to putiit on their agenda for consideration next week. !. I Sam Swanson, representing Cotton Concrete a~d Shold Excavating, pointed out to the Commissioners that if they did a~opt WAC 173.60,030(3) that would have to be approved by the Washington I, State D!partment of Ecology. Mr. Swanson further noted that in regard tot Cotton oncrete, he and his partners have met and decided to begin fonstruc,ion of a berm along theirpro8erty line adjacent to Jess Covington's property so that testing can be done Clltside the berm to see what not~e level~ are generat~clLuwhich wil~ provide data to determine if the pro Jeft -complfes with-the County's POllCY. , ! ~ The Board idirected the Planning Department to put t~e proposed resolution on the agenda for next week and to contact ~he Department of Ecology regarding their approval of such a resolutipn. !
