Little, Developer, stated they have made every effort to comply with all rules of all agencies to preserve the aukiets, including an attempted lease agreement with the Committee for Natural Preserves and an impact statement submitted to all concerned agencies . They would now like to complete this development. Mr. Carroll Rieck, State Game Dept., stated he has encouraged the Dept. of Natural Resources to accept lease with Mr. Little for protection of 'the birds . Their recommendation is that Div. 5 should not be developed but kept as a bird sanatualy, and that a 12' cyclone fence be put up to separate the division from the others . Mr. Mike Ruef, Dept. of Ecology, stated they fully concur with and support the Game Dept's position for the preservation of the birds and request that Div. 5 be preserved as a bird sanctuary. Mr. Gary Kline, Sports Fisheries and Wildlife , stated they are in no position to purchase property for the preservation of non-game birds, however, the preferred solution is to place the entire division into a sanctuary statis to'.provide a buffer for the nesting area . Helen Engle , Tahoma Audubon Society, said they urge no human use or development of Div. 5 , and advise management by the Dept. of Game as a sanctuary for the birds . Dave Frazer, Student, U of W College of Forest Resources expressed more concern over.the Puffins and said he is not only worried about human destruction, but also many birds are killed by dogs and cats .

John Slipp, Tacoma , advised that auklets have a practical value to the fishers . Stated this is the bird that balls up herring and in southern Puget Sound, this is the only one that does , which is the way 90% of the bait herring is caught . Plan. Director, Dave Cunningham, stated in so far as the impact statement is con- cerned, he does not feel substantial evidence has been presented to indicate that Div. 5 should be protected in its entirety and therefore, recommends that Jefferson County be the first to protect the auklets by approving the plat with restrictions recommended by his depart- ment and the planning commission. Chairman Kelly stated he feels sufficient evidence has been presented and thinks approval of the plat development should be denied. Board will take all information presented into consideration before making a final decision. Also attending this hearing were R.G . Beers, Gunnar Fagerland and William Bi.shop. Mr. Melvin Kivley submitted six copies of the final proposed plat map of Kivley's Addition to Hadlock to Engineer Becker as required.

Commissioner O'Meara feels the Board should approve the issuance subject to the actions of the school board and the churches and so moved . Commissioner Brown requests additional confirmation in writing on parking areas and therefore action will be delayed.

Auditor, Betty Temple , advised that Judge Chamberlin signed the Order prohibiting the county to place the DNR timber sales on the tax rolls .
