WHEREAS,the Board held a public hearing on June 10, 2019, for the purpose of taking oral and written
testimony regarding whether or not to include any of four proposed text amendments MLA19-00018,
MLA19-00019, MLA19-00020, and MLA19-00023, previously considered by the Planning Commission,

parcel to Rural Residential 1:5 for subdivision; and
WHEREAS, on September 4, 2019 Community Development issued an integrated Staff Report and State

WHEREAS, on September 18, 2019,the Planning Commission held a duly-noticed public hearing to
receive spoken testimony related to proposed site-specific amendment, and written comments were
accepted from September 4, 2019 through the close of the public hearing.
WHEREAS, The Planning Commission reviewed and recommended denial of the rezone proposal
outlined in MLA19-00013 (Wilke)to change zoning of Parcel#001184004 from RR1:10 to RR1:5, in the
Planning Commission's October 22nd transmittal of their October 16, 2019 Report and Recommendations

conclusions from their October 16, 2019 Review and Recommendation on the 2019 Comprehensive Plan
Amendment Final Docket and are augmented by Community Development's September 4, 2019
integrated Staff Report and SEPA Addendum findings and conclusions, except when and as noted below;
and
WHEREAS,the Board makes their own findings based on the record, as follows:
A)Growth Management Indicators 18.45.050(4)(b)(i)through(4)(b)(vii)
i) Whether growth and development as envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan is occurring
faster or slower than anticipated, or is failing to materialize.
Growth and development are occurring as envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan. The
countywide population projection used in the current Comprehensive Plan(2018-2038)is
0.98%, lower than the previous comprehensive planning period which estimated a 1.78%
growth rate.
ii) Whether the capacity of the county to provide adequate services has diminished or
increased.
The capacity of the county to provide adequate services has remained the same, as shown
in the analysis of the Capital Facilities Plan Technical Document,Appendix D, Jefferson
County Comprehensive Plan.
iii) Whether sufficient urban land is designated and zoned to meet projected demand and
need.
As demonstrated in the Port Hadlock/Irondale Land Capacity Analysis,Appendix E,
Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan and as discussed in the September 4, 2019 Staff
Report at p. 2-4, sufficient urban land is designated and zoned in the Port
Hadlock/Irondale Urban Growth Area to meet projected demand and need.
iv) Whether any assumptions upon which the Comprehensive Plan is based are no longer
found to be valid.
The assumptions upon which the recently reviewed and revised Comprehensive Plan is
based are still valid.
v) Whether changes in countywide attitudes necessitate amendments to the goals of the Plan
and the basic values embodied within the Comprehensive Plan Vision Statement.
The Board finds that countywide attitudes have not changed and amendments are not
needed to the goals of the plan, or values embodied within the Comprehensive Plan
Vision Statement.
vi) Whether changes in circumstances dictate a need for amendments.
There are no changes in circumstances dictating a need for the amendment.
vii) Whether inconsistencies exist between the Comprehensive Plan and the Growth
Management Act or the Comprehensive Plan and the Countywide Planning Policy for
Jefferson County.
There are no inconsistencies that exist.
B) Required Findings: 18.45.080(1)(b)(i)through (iii)
i) Whether circumstances related to the proposed amendment and/or the area in which it is
located have substantially changed since the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan
Circumstances relating to the proposed amendment or the area in which the amendment
proposal is located have not substantially changed since adoption of the Comprehensive
Plan. The Board finds that additional historical information gathered during the public
comment period demonstrates that there is a known flooding issue in the area, and the
seasonal flooding in the proposal area is tied to the larger valley hydrologic system and
stormwater drainage and flooding issues, although it is not identified on flood maps.
ii) Whether the assumptions upon which the Comprehensive Plan is based are no longer
valid, or whether new information is available which was not considered during the
adoption process or any annual amendments to the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan
The planning assumptions upon which the Comprehensive Plan is based, and upon the
goals and policies to which the analysis refers for this analysis are still valid. There is no
new information suggesting assumptions in the Comprehensive Plan are not valid.
iii) Whether the proposed amendment reflects current widely held values of the residents of
Jefferson County.
The Board finds that the proposed amendment does not reflect current widely held values
of the residents of Jefferson County, as articulated in the Comprehensive Plan's
Framework goal V, "Meet projected community needs for housing, commercial, and
industrial growth through appropriate zoning and capital facility investment."; in the
Vision Statement describing rural character; and reviewing the definitions of rural zoning
designations for Rural Residential 1:5 and Rural Residential 1:10 in CP Exhibit 1-11. The
Board finds that the current zoning of Rural Residential 1:10 is the most appropriate to
match the environmental conditions of the site, and a variety of residential densities are
already in place,with regard to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Strategy, p. 1-15.
C) Site-Specific Required Findings: 18.45.080(1)(c)(i)through(viii)- Site Specific Findings
i) The proposed site-specific amendment meets concurrency requirements for transportation
and does not adversely affect adopted level of service standards for other public facilities
and services.
The proposed site-specific amendment meets concurrency requirements for transportation
on Sand Road. The proposed site-specific amendment does not adversely affect adopted
level of service standards for other public facilities and services.
ii) The proposed site-specific amendment is consistent with the goals, policies, and
implementation strategies of the various elements of the Comprehensive Plan.
The Board finds that the proposed site-specific amendment is not consistent with the
goals, policies, and implementation strategies of the various elements of the
Comprehensive Plan. The Board finds that under consideration of Comprehensive Plan
Section 1.2 Rural and the definition of rural character,that the proposal for rezoning and
subdividing the subject parcel does not comply with the GMA definition particularly at
d)"land use compatible with habitat", and(g)"consistent with the protection of natural
surface water flows and groundwater and surface water recharge and discharge areas."
The Board also finds that the proposal is not compatible with goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan including Goal LU-G-7 "preserve the functions and values of
critical environmental areas and protect development from the risks of environmental
hazards;" and LU-G-18 "encourage residential land use and development intensities that
protect the character of rural areas, avoid interference with resource land uses, and
minimize impacts upon environmentally sensitive areas."
iii) The proposed site-specific amendment will not result in probable significant adverse
impacts to the county's transportation network, capital facilities, utilities, parks, and
environmental features that cannot be mitigated, and will not place uncompensated
burdens upon existing or planned service capabilities.
The Board finds from the record that there is reasonable concern that the proposal will
have impacts to environmental features such as wetlands, and environmental processes
such as surface water attenuation and storage,that cannot be mitigated; and can increase
risk to future development.
iv) In the case of a site-specific amendment to the land use map,that the subject parcels are
physically suitable for the requested land use designation and the anticipated land use
development, including but not limited to access,provision of utilities and compatibility
with existing and planned surrounding land uses.
The Board finds that the current zoning of the parcel as defined in the Comprehensive
Plan is the most appropriate, and that the subject parcel is not physically suited for the
proposed change in zoning, and not compatible with the surrounding physical
circumstances of the area such as surface water drainage.
v) The proposed site-specific amendment will not create a pressure to change the land use
designation of other properties, unless the change of land use designation for other
properties is in the long-term best interests of the county as a whole.
The Board finds that the site-specific amendment will create a pressure to change the land
use designation of other properties, and would not be in the long-term best interests of the
county. The Board finds that there is no compelling County reason to rezone properties
similarly situated as the subject parcel.
vi) The proposed site-specific amendment does not materially affect land use and population
growth projections that are the basis of the Comprehensive Plan.
The Board finds that this individual proposed zoning change will not materially affect
and growth projections and comprehensive land use plans but may still not be advisable
in consideration of other findings.
vii) If within an unincorporated urban growth area(UGA),the proposed site-specific
amendment does not affect the adequacy or availability of urban facilities and services to
the immediate area and the overall UGA.
The proposed site-specific amendment proposal is not within an urban growth area.
viii) The proposed amendment is consistent with the Growth Management Act(RCW
36.70A),the Countywide Planning Policies for Jefferson County, any other applicable
inter jurisdictional policies or agreements, and any other local, state or federal laws.
The Board finds that the zoning amendment proposal is not consistent with the Growth
Management Act RCW 36.70A.070(5)(c)provisions and measures for rural development
in a comprehensive plan rural element; and Countywide Planning Policies for Jefferson
County(Res. 128-92) addressing rural areas and development commensurate with the
character of the local community, and providing opportunity for higher residential
densities in urban areas.
D) Findings Regarding the Record
1. The Board's recommendation is based upon the record, including the guidance provided
by GMA,the County-Wide Planning Policies,the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan,
Jefferson County Code, Comprehensive Plan, September 4, 2019 Integrated Staff Report
and SEPA Addendum, and hearing records.
2. The Board finds that assertions in the record can be confirmed by information from other
sources.
3. The Board finds that the recommendation satisfies legal criteria.
4. The Board finds that the recommendation is limited to the specific amendment proposal
at hand.
WHEREAS,the Board has reviewed the record, deliberated on the site-specific proposal on October 28,
2019, and voted unanimously to deny the rezone proposal outlined in MLA19-00013 (Wilke)to change
zoning of Parcel#001184004 from RR1:10 to RR1:5; and
WHEREAS,the 2019 annual amendment cycle resulted in no amendments to the CP or UDC for which
to require an adopting ordinance; and
WHEREAS, on October 28.2019,the Board unanimously approved a motion to direct staff to write a
resolution to memorialize the process of the 2019 amendment cycle and their final action;
NOW, THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED, that:
1) the preceding findings and conclusions document that all procedural and substantive requirements
of the GMA,through the JCC (Title 18)and the Planning and Enabling Act(RCW 36.70), have
been satisfied;
2) based on the preceding findings and conclusions,the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners
concurs with the Planning Commission's recommendation, and hereby denies the 2019 Docket
rezone proposal outlined in MLA19-00013 (Wilke); and
3) this final action by the Board concludes the 2019 Comprehensive Plan and UDC Amendment
Cycle.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
Philip Morley, County Administrator
FROM: Patty Charnas, Department of Community Development Director
Joel Peterson, Associate Planner,DCD
DATE:November 4, 2019
SUBJECT: Resolution Documenting 2019 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Cycle
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
The 2019 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Final Docket consisted of one site-specific rezone
proposal MLA19-00013 Andrew and Sarah Wilke, 240 Sand Road, Parcel #001840004,to
rezone a 10-acre Rural Residential 1:10 to Rural Residential 1:5 for the purpose of
subdivision.
On October 16, 2019, during their regular meeting, the Planning Commission recommended
that the Board of County Commissioners deny the proposal. On October 28, 2019, during
their regular meeting, the Board of County Commissioners reviewed the record and
unanimously voted to accept the Planning Commission's recommendation, and directed DCD
to draft a resolution documenting the 2019 Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development
Code Amendment Cycle process.
ANALYSIS:
Because there were no changes made to the Comprehensive Plan or Unified Development
Code that would require an adopting ordinance, the Board directed DCD to draft a resolution
that will serve to document the 2019 annual amendment process that occurred.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Cost of work associated with the County's Comprehensive Plan and related activities under the
State Growth Management Act are largely supported by the county's general fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
DCD recommends the Board adopt the resolution.

Mike,
Regarding the hearing last night, I counted nine separate comment letters and we had six people give
testimony. Kevin Coker was Chair Pro Tem.
After the hearing closed, the six Planning Commissioners in attendance began discussing and
deliberating on the proposal. The amendment wasn’t put to a vote last night. At the next regular
Planning Commission meeting October 16 the vote and recommendation letter will be completed.
I'll put the meeting recording on the project site when Nicole gets it downloaded from the recorder later
today or tomorrow. Let me know if you need any other information. Thanks.

to "elect a Chair pro tem for the September 18, 2019 Planning Commission meeting". You don't have
to have a "second" to the motion to begin discussion on who will be willing and able to run the

PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING PROCEDURE
2019 SITE-SPECIFIC AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Chair to read introduction:
The public hearing is now open regarding the 2019 Docket of Site-
Specific Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan.
Testimony is being taken regarding one (1) site-specific Comprehensive
Plan amendment, case reference “MLA19-00013”, a proposal by
Andrew and Sarah Wilke to change the zoning of their 10-acre Rural
Residential 1:10 parcel to Rural Residential 1:5 for the purpose of
subdividing the parcel.
This is a fact-finding forum from which a decision must result. Both
oral and written testimony is allowed. The public hearing is being
recorded, therefore when you speak, begin by stating your name and
address. Each person giving public testimony will be allowed up to 3
minutes to speak.
The Planning Commission will close the comment record on the site-
specific amendment at the close of this public hearing. The Planning
Commission will then begin deliberations from which a
recommendation will be brought forward to the Board of County
Commissioners. The recommendation shall be either to deny the
proposal, approve the proposal, or approve the proposal with
modifications.
The Planning Commission recommendation is anticipated to be
completed in early October, 2019. If the Planning Commission needs to
meet outside of the regular bi-monthly Planning Commission meeting
schedule, the meeting will be given proper Public Notice on the County
web site and will appear in the legal notices section of the Leader
Newspaper as a special meeting.
Unruly behavior cannot be an element of the hearing. This is a legal
process in which facts and opinions are presented to decision makers.
Common courtesy is expected from all participants.
These are legislative proceedings. In taking testimony, the Planning
Commission will follow procedural due process requirements to ensure
that this hearing is fair in form and substance, as well as appearance.
The Planning Commission will consider all evidence for or against the
proposal.
We will start with a staff report on the proposal.

2019 Comprehensive Plan and Amendment Docket
Staff Report and SEA Addendum
Re: Rezone of Wilke Property
240 Sand Road Port Townsend, WA 98368
Public Comment September 10, 2019
Dear Board of Commissioners and Planning Committee:
We, Claus and Teresa Janssen, residents at 232 Sand Road, live adjacent to the property at 240 Sand Rd.
whose owners are seeking an amendment to the comprehensive plan. We have lived on our property
for over twenty-five years. We urge the county not to approve the amendment to the County
Comprehensive Plan for rezoning 240 Sand Rd for the following reasons:
1. Approval to amend the comprehensive plan will set a precedent by which any property owner
having 10+ acres can request rezoning and will have reasonable cause to believe it will be
approved. The county does not have adequate infrastructure (sewage, electric, water,
technology networks) to support the rural population growth that will follow. Our valley which is
the watershed for Discovery Bay cannot sustain the increased number of wells and septic
systems that would result.
2. Access to the property at 240 Sand Rd is over a one-lane dirt road that is an easement through
our property. If additional 10+ acre properties on Sand Road and S. Edwards Road are
subdivided (because of this precedent) the road over our easement could not sustain the
increase in traffic from ensuing property development. We are not inclined to increase the
easement, nor do we desire to pay for widening the road, increased maintenance, or paving.
3. The wetland on the property at 240 Sand Rd is part of a fragile ecosystem that drains the
Quimper Valley. The wetland on our property at 232 Sand is one and the same as that on 240
Sand. Some years, depending on rainfall, it is dry, but most years it hosts an itinerant lake over
which our property line passes. The requested rezoned property line would run through the
middle of this lake. Modifications of any kind affect the entire drainage system. When the 240
Sand Rd property owners (Wilkes) dug a trench to drain the wetland during the summer of 2018
without notifying us, it also drained water from our property. This wetland has already been
altered. We fear that further development (building of an additional well and septic) in such
close proximity to the lakebed would further damage this vital and sensitive natural drainage
system.
4. One of the points mentioned in the request for the rezoning amendment was that since our
property at 232 Sand Road was a 5-acre plot, the owners of 240 Sand should have the right to
rezone to that size, also. We remind the commissioners that our property was developed in the
mid-1970s. The 5-acres was in compliance with county zoning rules at that time. The
comprehensive plan was modified in 1992 to 10-acre minimum. A party that purchases a
property in 2017 should not expect the same zoning rules that existed more than forty years
earlier when environmental stewardship and zoning laws were lax.
To summarize, the county comprehensive plan was revised in 1992 to prevent investors from
purchasing properties in designated rural areas in order to subdivide and resell, or otherwise
develop, particularly in sensitive ecosystems.
For the above reasons, we urge the Jefferson County Department of Community Development
to deny the rezoning request.
Thank you for your consideration,
Claus and Teresa Janssen

Small, cosmetic revisions to agenda that more clearly segregate the public hearing from the Directors

That’s it. Please get this out and upload!!

Nicole –
I do not see a draft PC agenda for 9/18 and hope something can go out today.
The marque item will be the Public Hearing (PH). Joel can give you the correct wording
for that agenda item.
I would like to speak after the close of the public hearing. My guess is that the PC will
close the PH and the public comment period (i.e., not extend). Due to the minimal PC
attendees (enough however to have a quorum), the PC will not ask staff (Joel) to hand-
over a prepared draft Findings of Fact, Conclusions and Recommendations for PC review
and action. This is why, therefore, I wish to speak at that time under a new agenda item
that can be entitled “Director’s Update.”
Thank you very much for making this a priority today.

PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING PROCEDURE
2019 SITE-SPECIFIC AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Chair to read introduction:
The public hearing is now open regarding the 2019 Docket of Site-
Specific Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan.
Testimony is being taken regarding one site-specific Comprehensive
Plan amendment, case reference “MLA19-00013”, to change the zoning
of a 10-acre Rural Residential 1:10 parcel to Rural Residential 1:5 for
the purpose of subdividing the ten-acre parcel, and thereby separating a
single-family residence structure and Accessory Dwelling Unit structure
to be on individual parcels, as proposed by Andrew and Sarah Wilke,
landowners of the subject property.
This is a fact-finding forum from which a decision must result. Both
oral and written testimony is allowed. The public hearing is being
recorded, therefore when you speak, begin by stating your name and
address. Each person giving public testimony will be allowed up to 3
minutes to speak.
The Planning Commission will close the comment record on the site-
specific amendment at the close of this public hearing. The Planning
Commission will then begin deliberations from which a
recommendation will be brought forward to the Board of County
Commissioners. The recommendation shall be either to deny the
proposal, approve the proposal, or approve the proposal with
modifications.
The Planning Commission recommendation is anticipated to be

Subject: The September 18 Public Hearing
Hi Joel –
As I prepare to be out-of-the-office and working remotely during the Chelan conference this week, I
want to give you an overview of what we would like to have happen for next week’s Planning
Commission public hearing. I strongly believe this will be exactly what you are preparing to do anyway.
The September 18 PC Agenda will have two other agenda items on it; therefore we want a crisp, concise
site specific public hearing comprised of the following:
An 15-20 minute opening by Joel using a powerpoint with the following slides:
1. Introduction of the Site Specific Zoning Amendment process
2. Overview of the Project Proposal (picture(s), map(s))
3. Overview of the Project Process (what was reviewed, considered)
4. Summary outcomes of the Process (land limitations, alternatives considered)
5. Conclusions and Proposed Staff Recommendation (wrap up)
Your emphasis should be on 2,3, and 4; again no more than 15-20 minutes.
We will work with the chair on the one-to-two other agenda items separately.
Nicole, even though I will be out of the office; we need to work together on the Agenda and make sure it
gets out on Wednesday, September 11.
Thank you!!

Amy:
In May 2019, you provided comments regarding a site-specific rezone proposal which is on the Final
Docket for the 2019 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Cycle. Please share this information with other
parties listed in your comment letter:
I have attached a Growth Management Act/State Environmental Policy Act Staff Report regarding the
proposal. The Legal Notice announcing the Notice of Intent to Amend the Comprehensive Plan, Notice
of SEPA Addendum, and Notice of Public Hearing was published in the Leader today. This initiates a
public comment period today which runs through the end of the public hearing September 18, 2019.
The Jefferson County Planning Commission will be discussing the proposal at tonight’s (September 4)
meeting, conduct a Public Hearing on September 18, 2019, and provide recommendations to the Board
of County Commissioners in early October. Thanks for your participation.

Hi Bruce,
Thanks for the information. We are generally open to any configuration that allows dividing the
two current buildings into two main tax parcels. I’m not sure we completely understand the
implications of all of the other designations, but based on our general understanding these
options seem fine.

Hello Joel:
I received your email of yesterday and responded with a voice mail this morning, but it ended up
in the general DCD inbox rather than your personal email, so I’m following up here.
I emailed Andy your proposal for the separate wetland tract, including forwarding the portion of
the Code you cited. He acknowledged receipt and is reviewing the concept now. I noted your
plan to issue your recommendations this afternoon, so he understands the need for
promptness.
I don’t think the family will have a problem with the separate tract and the clustering concept in
light of the fact the physical conditions somewhat constrain that direction anyway and the
present site layout, but I’ll defer to Andy’s reply.
One question I have is, if we do place the wetland in its own tract, what are our options for
designating the uplands west of the wetlands? Can those be exclave portions of the easterly
tracts? Would that be a fourth tract with a different designation?
It’s hard to conceive of any practical use of that area in the short term due to its isolation and
lack of vehicular access. However, perhaps in the distant future, the Wilke’s might do a
boundary line adjustment where they convey that area to an adjoining property owner who could
use it, while picking up additional, adjoining land elsewhere to keep their parcel at the 10 acre
threshold.
No such plan is being contemplated to my knowledge, but knowing how an imminent decision
will affect later options would be helpful.
I’ll be available to discuss further this afternoon—and hopefully I’ll hear back from Andy so you
can complete your recommendations accordingly.

Hello Joel:
We’re all behind in the private sector as well.
Brad followed up with me after I emailed you and told me he thinks that, while he doubts they
can have their full report completed by September 4, he does believe they will have the wetland
typed and a buffer determination by then so we can go before the Planning Commission with
that information—hopefully supported by some findings correspondence from Westech.
Apparently, the Department of Ecology Rating System has changed since their 2014 study of
the neighboring wetlands, so while they will use some of the same data (in addition to fresh, on-
site data), they have to process it differently. You probably know more about that than I.

Hi Bruce and Stephanie,
Good morning. I hope this message finds you both doing well.
Yesterday, I received the message, which is forwarded below, from Joel Peterson, AICP for
Jefferson Count. As you both know, we are in the process of applying to subdivide our
property.
By way of introduction, Bruce MacLearnsberry is our surveyor and is overseeing and
shepherding the applications, paperwork, surveys, reports, and process to hopefully let us
subdivide 240 and 292 Sand Road. Stephanie Dickey is a good friend and colleague who is
watching over our property while we are out of town. Since it sounds like Joel was going to
bring a fairly large group, I was hoping you could both be there to answer questions and show
them the property in our absence.
Sarah and I will be out of town on August 6th and we are hoping you would be able to escort
Joel and a few of his office staff to tour 240 Sand Road. I have not yet responded to Joel (but
would like to do so in a timely fashion). Does August 6th work for you? And if not, could you
please suggest alternate dates?
Thank you for your time and efforts. We appreciate both of you very much.
Best,

Good Morning everyone!
I am happy to show people around during that week. Unfortunately, I have a client that day and
time I cannot reschedule for other appointments. I can do 11:30 am on the 7th or 12:30 pm the
8th to be available.
Would any of those work for the group?
I can also be available on the 9th at noon.
I will do my best to help out.

Hi Bruce and Stephanie,
Good morning. I hope this message finds you both doing well.
Yesterday, I received the message, which is forwarded below, from Joel Peterson, AICP for
Jefferson Count. As you both know, we are in the process of applying to subdivide our
property.
By way of introduction, Bruce MacLearnsberry is our surveyor and is overseeing and
shepherding the applications, paperwork, surveys, reports, and process to hopefully let us
subdivide 240 and 292 Sand Road. Stephanie Dickey is a good friend and colleague who is
watching over our property while we are out of town. Since it sounds like Joel was going to
bring a fairly large group, I was hoping you could both be there to answer questions and show
them the property in our absence.
Sarah and I will be out of town on August 6th and we are hoping you would be able to escort
Joel and a few of his office staff to tour 240 Sand Road. I have not yet responded to Joel (but
would like to do so in a timely fashion). Does August 6th work for you? And if not, could you
please suggest alternate dates?
Thank you for your time and efforts. We appreciate both of you very much.
Best,
Andy Wilke

Andy,
This message follows my voice mail a moment ago. I would like to schedule a site visit to your
property on August 6th, for about an hour between the times of 10:30 to 12:30. Other office staff will
be joining me, and I believe 10:45 to 12:15 will work good for them. Please let me know.
If you are not in town or not available, will it be okay for Bruce MacLearnsberry to escort us onto and
off the property at that time? Thanks.

Hello Joel:
There was some email correspondence this morning between the Wilkes, myself and Stephanie
Dickey, who looks after their property in their absence. Stephanie’s availability is much more
limited than mine. She noted having 11:30am on the 7th or noon on the 9th. I can do either.
(She also had an opening on the 8th, but that conflicts with the one fixed appointment I have
next week.)
I’ll be out of the office tomorrow, so I won’t be back on the conversation ‘til Monday.

If the Smiths make their initial check to DCD out for $913.50, is that correct, with the
understanding that additional rate-based charges may follow?
Regarding the Health District fees, I’m wondering if I would be correct in the following:
BLA Base fee: $214.00
Tech surcharge: $10.00
$99/Lot Fee: $198.00
Total: $422.00
I’m thinking that (1), since the lots are all undeveloped (with no existing infrastructure to review)
and (2) we are proposing only two resultant lots, the Smiths should only be charged for two
lots. But, I don’t make the rules. Can you forward that part to the Health District for their
direction?
Once I have confirmation that we have the initial fees correctly dialed in, I’ll have the Smiths cut
the checks.
Thanks much.

I learned that DCD is only charging the base fee and billing for straight time over that, and not applying
the per-lot feet mentioned in JCC 18.35.070(1)(a).
I learned that Environmental Public Health applies their ‘per lot fee’ as in the attached 2019 fee chart. I
can only approximate the remaining fees at this time, because I don’t know if they apply this to the
starting lot number or the resulting lot number.

Subject: RE: Fees for George Smith Lot Consolidation
Joel:
If the Smiths make their initial check to DCD out for $913.50, is that correct, with the
understanding that additional rate-based charges may follow?
Regarding the Health District fees, I’m wondering if I would be correct in the following:
BLA Base fee: $214.00
Tech surcharge: $10.00
$99/Lot Fee: $198.00
Total: $422.00
I’m thinking that (1), since the lots are all undeveloped (with no existing infrastructure to review)
and (2) we are proposing only two resultant lots, the Smiths should only be charged for two
lots. But, I don’t make the rules. Can you forward that part to the Health District for their
direction?
Once I have confirmation that we have the initial fees correctly dialed in, I’ll have the Smiths cut
the checks.
Thanks much.

I learned that DCD is only charging the base fee and billing for straight time over that, and not applying
the per-lot feet mentioned in JCC 18.35.070(1)(a).
I learned that Environmental Public Health applies their ‘per lot fee’ as in the attached 2019 fee chart. I
can only approximate the remaining fees at this time, because I don’t know if they apply this to the
starting lot number or the resulting lot number.

Subject: MLA 19-00020 - Eco ADU - let's examine and move forward with Land Use/Transit options
Esteemed Board of Commissioners,
As a resident of Jefferson County since 1994 I honor the competing challenges you face
as our Board to meet community needs. Critical among those needs is housing.
Affordable housing. "Legal" and housing. Housing so that we are a sustainable
community that supports our local agricultural entrepreneurs that feed us. The Eco ADU
proposal needs to advance for further approval especially and focused along
transportation corridors - those served by public transit. When finalizing and approval
for "Conservation Villages" explore how those villages might offer a shuttle to key
transit hubs, for example near the Corner store with 15 trips per day, weekdays,
to/from Port Townsend. Perhaps the forthcoming Jefferson Transit 20 year
Comprehensive Plan might need to examine weekend services to these rural corridors
and meet community needs.
We can no longer expect and require all Jefferson County residents to purchase and
maintain private vehicles. Eco ADU offers a minimal footprint on the rural landscape
which would be complemented by enhancing the opportunity along public
transportation corridors if you consider those parcels within a 3/4 mile of the fixed
transit routes to have even more Eco-ADU "density".
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics estimates average costs for private car
ownership where 15,000 miles are driven each year at $8,849 or $737/month. While an
older car may be perceived as less costly, repairs may put someone over their budget
or into financial ruin. If we do not link the concept of affordable housing through Eco
ADU to public transportation options we are truly putting more Jefferson County
residents on the brink of poverty.
As willing community members will actively resolve local issues as "Local Expert" review
panel. This will limit strains on County staff.
The time is right to study EcoADU and explore what it takes to sustain our rural
character without pushing residents to farther distances, up dirt roads to inadequate
housing. Please move this issue forward. Appreciation to the Planning Commission for
their vision, as well. (I had hoped to attend today's hearing while my schedule may not
allow, so please add this to our public record supporting the progression forward for
Eco ADU)
If possible, please confirm receipt.
Respectfully submitted,
--

Re: MLA19-00019
To those who can determine the well being of Jefferson County residents,
Marrowstone Island has twice proven that large scale marijuana operations do not fit in rural residential
zones… and not just on the smallest RR 1:5 zones, but in the RR 1:10 zone. The nature of the industry is
such that an indoor grow allows two or three harvests a year, and therefore is more profitable… for the
grower. The nature of the plant is such that it requires enormous amounts of water, nutrition, protection
from pests (i.e. killing chemicals) and protection from mold. So that means temperature control, exhaust
capability, and run-off of the poisons and fertilizers. That adds up to noise & noxious odors & unless there
is sewer capability, potential contamination of the underlying land and ground water. All this on property
next to land designated for homes & families.
When the land rules were set up, the thinking about marijuana grows was more innocen t. Now that the
factory nature of this industry has become apparent, it is incumbent on our elected officials, designated
experts, and hired personnel, to readdress the Rural Residential permissions in JCC 18.20.295. The
Planning Commission has done just that and requests that the BoCC, through the mandated Hearing
process, act on the need they have so carefully considered.
As you’ve seen on Marrowstone, responsible vetting of the CUP process is expensive and time
consuming. The County cannot afford it and citizens should not have to bear it. Now with the ability of out-
of-staters to set up shop in Washington, the Cottage Industry allowing processing would have to be totally
readdressed or there would be no processing on RR lands until the out -of-state owners resided for a
period of time on the property. Shell companies, pretend owner/managers & other loopholes could make
administrators’ lives untenable.
This type of manufacturing belongs in designated industrial areas, not sprawled across the beautiful l ands
chosen for living. Once you consider the options, please see that rural residential is the wrong zone for
marijuana.
Thank you,

Attn: Patty Charnas, David Wayne Johnson, Joel Peterson
We greatly appreciate your consideration of the Jefferson County Planning Commission’s
recommendations regarding recreational marijuana production in rural residential zones. Our
concerns, as stated in a letter to the Department of Community Development (3/20/19) and
voiced at the April 17, 2019 public hearing, are in agreement with many of the other residents
living in the neighborhood of a proposed marijuana production site and are outlined below.
Cottage Industry Code Violation: When Jefferson County implemented the allowable Cottage
Industry designation on residential parcels it stated that the activities were to be… “subordinate
to the primary residential use…and that such activities [can} be conducted without substantial
adverse impact on the residential environment and rural character in the vicinity. No use
shall be made of equipment or material which produces unreasonable vibration, noise, dust,
smoke, odor, or electrical interference to the detriment of the quiet use and enjoyment of
adjoining and surrounding property.” Yet a cannabis plant has the potential to create, at
minimum, both high levels of odor and noise. Creating the potential for major infringement on
the other residents who choose to live in rural Jefferson County primarily for the peace and quiet
it offers. The proponents of this project are planning an expansion of up to 10,000 square feet
for their facility. Such expansion would be a full-fledged industry and totally inappropriate in a
neighborhood of residential homes. It’s hard to believe this would still qualify as a “cottage
industry.”
Federal Illegality. Jefferson County itself found the “illegality under federal law may cause
those locations where recreational marijuana is produced (grown) or processed to be an
“attractive nuisance” for criminals, vandals and minors, said “attractive nuisance” status
being contrary to the quiet and pastoral rural nature of much of unincorporated Jefferson
County.” (Ord. #04-0608-15 at p. 3, version 1.4) Coyle residents have been told that it is not
reasonable to expect a sheriff response to a crime in progress in less than an hour. Certainly no
home owner, wants an “attractive nuisance” in the neighborhood causing an increase in
residential crime.
Environmental Concerns: Environmental Concerns. In 2013 Jefferson County noted that “the
County and the State do not know what probable significant adverse environmental impacts
(“PSAEI”), if any, will arise from producing or processing marijuana..” (Ord. #04-0608-15, p. 3
version1.4). Over the last five years what has Jefferson County learned to shed light on this
question? Scientific studies on the environmental impact of marijuana production have been
conducted elsewhere. For example, Ashworth and Vizuete have recently (2017) reported that
studies investigating this question have “identified potentially significant environmental impacts
due to excessive water and energy demands and local contamination of water, air and soil…” (p.
2531). The potential for contaminates in the soil and/or water produced from a “cottage
industry” should be enough to ban a marijuana plant from a residential zone.
We hope that you will consider the very real impact that a marijuana facility may have on
property values, the neighbors’ quality of life and the environment. We strongly urge you to
deny the application for this marijuana factory on the Coyle Road.
Sincerely,
Chris Clegg and Nancy Slough

Joel, Patty and Emma,
I have reviewed submittals for the Monday 5/20 Agenda Packet and do not see a submittal for a Hearing
Notice for the BoCC’s 2019 Docket Public Hearing. The Board gave direction this past week to set a
hearing date and bring forward a notice.
Also, while no one from DCD has contacted my staff about setting the hearing date, I see on the Agenda
Planner that a hearing is tentatively proposed for July 1. The public is eager to address the BoCC on this
visible topic, the Board is ready to take it up, and this item should not be delayed. After the September
8, 2018 feedback the Commissioners and I gave about staff delays on the Comprehensive Plan Update, I
am concerned this item is not moving forward more quickly.
Please look at scheduling this public hearing as early as June 10. If we publish a hearing notice next
week (Board approval 5/20, publish date 5/22) that would give 19 days advance notice for a June 10
hearing. At the latest, the hearing could be June 17.
Please let me know if there is a compelling reason for delaying this hearing that would change a June 10
or 17 date. Since staff reports on the Docket have already been prepared and previously submitted by
staff to Planning Commission and BoCC, this hearing should take minimal additional preparation time, so
that shouldn’t be a constraint.
Unless Patty informs me that there is a compelling reason to delay, please coordinate with my staff to
pick a June hearing date and submit an agenda request and proposed hearing notice today, so we can
included it in tomorrow’s Board Packet for 5/20 BoCC meeting.

Hello Joel:
I’m working with the Peters and the McCammons on their boundary line adjustment. David
Faber forwarded your March 18 email, but did not include the attached forms you sent. I have
the BLA application form. I’m assuming I need to complete an MLA form as well, but wanted to
confirm in case that was already submitted for the CAM. (I was unable to retrieve any case
documents for this CAM on the Permit Portal.)
Also, I wanted to get your direction as to whether SEPA is applicable. As you know, the two
properties are waterfront on a bluff, both of which trigger SEPA for many land use applications.
I’m hoping that is not the case here since the portion we are adjusting is nearly 300 feet from
the top of the bluff, and no changes or improvements are contemplated any closer.
Thanks.

Mr. David Faber:
I am responding to your request for review of a BLA proposal to transfer 658 square feet from
Parcel #021333009 to Parcel #021333008.
Details:
• Both parcels are zoned Rural Residential 1:5 (the current residential use conforms to the
residential zone).
• Parcel #-009 is 0.89 acres, and is to transfer 0.015 acres (658 s.f.) to Lot B, and Parcel #-
009 becomes 0.875 acres
• Parcel #-008 is 0.78 acres, and would become 0.795 acres
Although Jefferson County Code at 18.35.080(2)(g) says you cannot increase the nonconformity
of an existing lot, in the situation of a BLA between two or more nonconforming lots
(nonconforming to maximum zoned density per acre), DCD has interpreted this to mean that no
resulting parcel can be made smaller than the smallest lot you started with (i.e. Parcel #-008 at
0.78 acres). Therefore the proposal would be accepted for review because parcels go from [0.89
& 0.78] to [0.875 & 0.795].
Also, the county code does allow a nonconforming lot to become smaller if the BLA is to correct
a legal description. 18.35.060 (5).
I hope this information is helpful. Application forms are attached.

Thank you very much for meeting with David and me on Friday morning. I just want to follow
up with a couple of references to the Comp Plan that mi ght help support approval of the land-
purchase/boundary-line-adjustment idea we’d like to propose to our neighbors as an
alternative to their request to re-zone and sub-divide their 10 acre parcel.
On page 1-34, under “Rural area policies” there’s mention of using “innovative tools such as
clustering or density transfer” as a way to add some flexibility to the regulations and still
maintain rural character.
On page 1-36, Policy LU-P1.4 goes into that concept in a little bit more detail: “Encourage the
use of innovative site planning and design techniques as a way to preserve rural character,
open lands and natural resources, including lot consolidation opportunities, development
regulations...”
Over the past couple of days I’ve been thinking more about our conversation. I had come into
the meeting hoping that the boundary changes we’re suggesting as an alternative to the Wilkes’
re-zone proposal might be handled as an administrative decision like other boundary line
adjustments. Now, I have to say that I can understand how the alternative idea should be
handled as a re-zone also.
It’s clear to me that site-specific up-zoning has to be a very thoroughly considered public
process and should never be allowed when it’s solely for the purpose of sub -dividing and selling
off land to make money. While our alternative idea would not create an additional parcel or
increase density, and could result in better long-term management of the flooding issues, I can
agree it should still be subject to public input and careful scrutiny because it does involve a
change to the zoning.
Thank you again for talking with us. I look forward to hearing any comments from the staff
meeting. Otherwise, we’ll continue to monitor the progress of the Wilkes’ proposal. We’ll also
continue to discuss with the Janssens how and when we might approach the Wilkes with our
offers.
Best regards,
Amy Hiatt & David Pratt

Subject: Recap of our meeting
Joel –
Thanks again for your time this afternoon. I wish to recap some of the important items that we talked
about.
1. We are recommending against all of the suggested text amendments from the Planning
Commission, even those that seemingly could be done with little effort. The reason that we are
doing this is that our 2019 work plan (published by the County Administrator) does not have any
work on the docket being supported in DCD.
2. We will be processing the site specific rezone request.
3. You and I will discuss when we disagree about conclusions and recommendations on any
decision and ultimately it will be the Director (me) who makes the final determinations on all
decisions.
4. You will carry out that direction. The Director (me) will never make a recommendation that is
illegal or is that is not defensible or defendable.
5. You will move the docketing process through the Planning Commission to the Board in a timely
fashion and know that if you are out of the office, all time sensitive materials will be picked up
and continued until you return.
6. We will plan on having weekly meetings for the foreseeable future.

Subject: Wilke re-zone on Sand Road
Greetings:
I am reaching out to express my concern re: the proposed re-zone of 240 Sand Road, Parcel #001184004
from RR-10 to RR-5. There are a number of considerations related to impact of development on ponds
and meadows adjacent to the parcel, increased traffic on a privately maintained road, and potential to
break up a block of R-10 properties that border another block of RR-20 parcels. The current RR-10
designation assures that the rural nature of the neighborhood will be preserved.
I understand that the process is just beginning, but I wanted to go on record as being opposed to the re-
classification and potential subdivision of this parcel.
Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to other opportunities to provide input.

Hello Joel:
I just finished assembling/collating all the documents and am about to head out the door. I need
to stop by the Wilke’s first to collect signatured documents, so I expect I’ll arrive at DCD shortly

Thanks Bruce. Please note that we are in the office on Fridays, but closed to the public. Simply knock on
the front door and someone should hear you. Alternatively, you can call my phone and we can arrange
to meet at the door. I’d like to say hello when you stop by. Thanks.
By the way, I submitted paperwork for a $94.00 refund to Andrew Wilke for the fire marshal charge to
the Pre Application Conference. The fire marshal said that his input would not be relevant at this stage
and his fee can be refunded. After my office manager’s signature, the request will go to the Treasurers’
Office. It may take a few weeks depending on how it hits the bi-weekly fiscal cycle for cutting checks.

Good morning, Joel:
Thank you for providing the Comp Plan amendment examples. There are is considerable
material there, so it’s taken me awhile to familiarize myself with it and to understand the
implications.
In addition to the cases noted in the RR Upzone History 2005-Present.pdf chart, I noticed
analyses and staff reports for other cases. There are three cases of particular interest in the
chart for which I’m hoping you can also provide copies of the analyses and staff reports so we
can better understand the deciding factors of those particular cases. They are MLA08-069,
MLA08-084 and MLA12-274.
Is that something you can accommodate?
