Cape George CoCony Club eit IV ED 61 Cape George Drive,Port Townsend,WA 98368-9403 MAR 15 2022 March 9, 2022 To: Jefferson County Board of Commissioners JEFFERSON AUNTY From: Kristine Easterday, Cape George Colony Club Board member COMMISSIONERS Re: No Shooting Area, Precincts 104 and 105 Cape George Colony Club would like to establish precincts 104 and 105 as a No Shooting Area. This request follows an October 8 incident, at about 4:15 a.m., in which at least six bullets were fired outside a home on Sunset Boulevard in Cape George Colony. Jefferson County sheriffs deputies, responding to a phone call from a nearby resident, have said they were told by the shooter that he used a gun to euthanize his ailing dog. That was the end of local law enforcement's involvement. It is not illegal to discharge a firearm within this unincorporated part of the county. The deputy, Deputy Anderson, did say that the shooter was well known to the Jefferson County Sheriffs Office. HOA management (per its covenants) did levy a $500 fine, which reportedly was paid by the owner of the residence, who does not live in the home. The shooter, although a family member, is a tenant and thus not directly affected by the consequences of a fine. We submit that Cape George Colony Club, now with suburban densities of more than 600 homes and the prospect of total build-out of about 800 homes, should be declared a no-shooting zone within Jefferson County. There is a reasonable likelihood that humans, domestic animals, or property may be jeopardized by gun fire. While HOA fines are intended to dissuade firearm discharge, as are the county's fines, egregious abuses should also be subject to legal adjudication and the possibility of prosecution within the justice system. We believe that the repeated bursts of bullets early in the morning of October 8 -- outside in the dark and allegedly to kill a pet -- recklessly endangered people and property within a wide swath of our Cape George Colony Club community. Designating our precincts as a no-shooting area, under county ordinance, is an appropriate response to preserve and protect life and safety issues. With this cover letter, I have submitted a petition by people who are residents and registered voters. I have also included precinct maps and the Jefferson County Sheriffs report of the incident.
