JCC 8.50.050(4) states that after petition signatures for a no shooting area have been verified by the Jefferson County Auditor-Elections and the BOCC find the petition warrants consideration, the BOCC has three choices: (1) Hold a public hearing regarding the petition; (2) Facilitate an amicable solution within the proposed area; or; (3) Assign a review committee to consider the merit of the petition specific to the area under consideration. The Auditor has certified that the petition meets the standard for consideration. On July 5, 2022 The BOCC agreed to hold a public hearing on this NSA. A public hearing would take public testimony from all interested persons for or against establishing the Greater Jolie Way and Silver Berry Place NSA. The BOCC shall consider the location, terrain and surrounding land use of the petitioned area. The BOCC shall determine the final boundaries for the creation of a no shooting area. ANALYSIS: A hearing notice announcing the public hearing scheduled for July 25, 2022 at 10:30 a.m. to consider public testimony and deliberate on the petition is attached. The hearing will listen to all input for or against establishing this NSA. Jefferson County invites Tribal input on all proposals from local tribes. Should the Board decide to establish the no shooting area proposed by the petitioners they would need to approve an ordinance codifying the no shooting area. A draft ordinance establishing the no shooting area is attached. The draft ordinance includes a map of the proposed no shooting area. As part of their deliberations the Board will also consider the following: 1 a.) State law preempts local regulation of the discharge of firearms. See RCW 9.41.270. There is an exception to local preemption in RCW 9.41.030(3),which authorizes municipalities to restrict the discharge of firearms in any portion of the municipality where there is a"a reasonable likelihood that humans, domestic animals, or property will be jeopardized." Chapter 8.50 JCC was designed to fit within this exception. b.) Under JCC 8.50.050(6), the test for a formation, alteration or dissolution of the area of a petition is whether the area of the petition for a no shooting area is "beneficial to the public health, safety or general welfare." The BOCC shall consider the location, terrain and surrounding land use of the petitioned area.The BOCC shall determine the final boundaries for the creation of a no shooting area. The BOCC also must apply the requirements of RCW 9.41.030(3), which requires that the area selected as a no shooting area be limited to an area where there is "a reasonable likelihood that humans, domestic animals, or property will be jeopardized." FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact of this request is inconsequential. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the attached hearing notice for publication.

JEFFERSON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Heidi Eisenhour, Chair • Clot uti 4,6 Pce 5 flog d/ =?lL - � 7-- Date: June 12, 2022 RECEIVED To: Board of County Commissioners,Jefferson Country,Washington From: The Neighborhood of Jolie Way and Silver Berry Place, JUN 1 4 2022 Port Townsend,WA 98368 JECOFFERSMM1sS ONERS Y Dear Commissioners, We,the undersigned,are requesting that our neighborhood of Greater Jolie Way and Silver Berry Place, which are private roads consisting of 41 households including those within close proximity to these two roads, be designated as a no shooting zone under Jefferson County Code Title 8.50.030. There have been multiple unsafe shooting situations that threatened us,our animals, and our properties. Despite past efforts to stop this,the threats continue and have recently increased to the point where we need to act before a serious accident happens. First,those of us making this request are not anti-gun. Many of us own guns and some of us are ex—military with a clear understanding of gun safety. Many of us have lived in this neighborhood or in rural areas of the country for many years and are aware of the expectations of a rural lifestyle. Our request comes because multiple problems have occurred on our streets spanning over the past 12 years or more,with a sharp increase in problems over the past two years. Listed below are just a few of the incidences: - An individual repeatedly rode a dirt bike along both roads,drunk and shooting a handgun into the road and into a neighbor's yard - Target shooting was conducted on a property line with the guns aimed directly into another person's yard and along a walking trail. No backstop existed.This happened quite a few times at multiple residences - Random shooting occurs at all hours of the day and night and include shots heard from handguns, rifles,semi-automatic assault rifles,and an unidentified extremely loud and powerful firearm - We often hear shooting parties where people sound drunk while shooting multiple weapons - One group shoots directly into a hill and the shooting becomes so intense that neighbors higher up the hill can feel the ground shake beneath them.This is an ongoing problem - Another family has heard bullets whiz through their woods onto their property. This is an ongoing problem,too, and the residents are very frightened. - Every year during hunting season, hunters park along Jolie Way and Hastings Ave. They enter our private properties with guns without our knowledge or awareness � � � Though our properties may contain acreage, the houses themselves are mostly clustered within 500 feet of another house.We also butt up to properties on Hastings Avenue, Lindsay Lane, Arabian Lane, and J Popper Way.Jolie Way and Silver Berry Place contain six curves where most of our homes are located, and the houses are not evenly spaced along the road (see included map and bubble chart). Farm animals,children and pets live here with us, putting them athigh risk, even within their own yards. Also, many people from adjoining neighborhoods walk along the wooded trails that wind through our properties and they can be hard to see through the trees. People from outside our neighborhood freely use the roads and trails tn jog, walk their dogs or ride horses. For all these reasons,our neighborhood is an active,densely populated region,making this an unsafe area to shoot weapons. Weapons have become more powerful over the past 40 years,yet our gun laws don't reflect this. For example, according to the NRA,the range of a bullet shot from the old-style AK-47 semi —automatic military assault rifle was 400 meters,while the range nf today'sAR'l5isZ2 miles. A 9 mm handgun bullet has a range of 1.2 miles. For this reason,Washington State public land laws declare no shooting be allowed within 500 feet of any public structure(WAC 392'53.45) because they have deemed this zone as extremely hazardous and unsafe for the public. Many of our surrounding counties have some version of this law for privately owned properties as well. Our homes, pets and properties are well within 500 feet of each other, but in Jefferson County, our only option tu keep our homes,ourselves and our animals safe isto apply for this no-shoot designation. For all the above reasons, the likelihood of a serious accident happening in our neighborhood has increased exponentially. Many shooters are not following gun safety laws or permitting requirements. Often,the problems come from renters who don't own property here,The police have been called on numerous occasions and by numerous people, but they state we need this zone designation for them to act. It is upon their suggestion that we are applying. VVeunder5tandthat several residential communities in unincorporated Jefferson Country(i.e,, Ka|a Point, Port Ludlow, Ocean Grove)have already been declared no-shooting areas under Jefferson Country Code Title 8.5O.03O.VVe are requesting that the county also designate the area of Greater Jolie Way and Silver Berry Place as outlined in the included map be designated asno'shuoting. Along with other enclosures,we are also including a breakdown of properties by type and residency. Please note that the overwhelming majority of 91.17%of residents we contacted voted in favor of the no-shooting designation. We will be happy to provide anything else that you need.Thank you for your time and consideration, The Residents of Greater]o|ie Way and Si|verbe'ry Place Enclosures(6) l. nine sheets of signatures; 2.a map of the proposed no-shoot designation zone; 3.a written description of the boundaries;4. a bubble map proving our homes are within the hazardous and unsafe distance uf5OO feet from each other; S a chart ofbullet ranges by gun type; and 6.VVAC332'S2'14S. � Below please find the breakdown of households/properties as compared to votes within the outlined area of Greater Jolie Way and Silverberry Road. As you can see, the overwhelming majority of people living within the requested no shoot zone voted in favor of assigning the designation: Numbers: Households/Properties: 41 Jefferson County owners: 36 Non-Jefferson County owners: 5—Texas,Alaska, Clark, Kitsap and King Counties Properties without dwellings: 2 Number of yes votes: 46 Number of no votes: 1 Number of votes to abstain: 1 Number undecided: 1 Number of households we were able to contact: 34 Number of households voting yes: 31 Number of households we could not contact: 7 Percentage of households/property owners we contacted who voted in favor: 91.17% Proposed greater Jae Way / Silverberry Pi No-Shooting Designation I .. e .. ea .. if �.e two or ato 00, 1 r� Air n- gp vk 1 am Am No i I N. - I Greater Jolie Way/Silverberry Place --- No-Shooting Proposed Area Desciption All properties are poetion of the following PLATs for Jefferson County in the State of Washington: SE SEC 06 TWP 30N REG 1W NE SEC 07 TWP 30N REG 1W SE SEC 07 TWP 30N REG 1W NW SEC 07 TWP 30N REG 1W Starting at the intersection of(3511) Hastings Ave W and the NW corner of parcel 001064022 head east along the northern boundaries of 0010644022 and 001064009 to its NE corner then; Head south along eastern boundary of parcel 001064009 to its SE and its intersection with the NW corner of parcel 001071002 then; Head east along the northern boundary of parcel 001071002 its NE intersection of the NW corner of parcel 001071037 then; Head south along the eastern boundary of parcel 001071002 to its SE intersection with the NW corner of 001071038 then; Head east along the nothern boundary of parcel 001071038 to its NE intersection with the NW corner of 001071031 Head south along the eastern boundary of parcel 001071038 to its SE intersection wit the NW corner of 001071014 then; Head east along the nothern boundary of parcel 001071014 to its NE intersection with parcel 001082020 (DNR Land) then; Head south along the eastern boundaries of parcels 001071014, 001071003, 001074036, and 001074025 to its SE intersection with parcel 992000007 then; Head west along the southern boundaries of parcels 001074025, 001074037, 001074027,001074026 to its SW corner intersection with parcel 001074024 then; Head north along the western boundary of parcel 001074026 to its NW corner intersection with the SE corner of parcel 001074032 then; Head west along the southern boundary of parcel 001074032 to its intersection with parcel 001074029 then; / Head north along the a western boundary of parcel 001074032 to the intersection with the NE corner of parcel 001074029 then; Head west along a southern boundaries of parcels 001074032 to NW its intersection with the SW parcel 001073007 then; Head north along the western boundary of parcel 001074033 to NW intersection with the SW corner of parcel 001071006 then; Head east along the northern boundary of parcel 001071033 to its NE intersection with the SW corner of parcel 001071042 then; Head north along the western boundaries of parcels 001071023 to its intersection with the SE corner of parcel 001071036 then; Head west along the southern boundaries of parcels 001071036 and 001071035,to its SW intersection with the SW corneror parcel 001072010 then; Head north along a western boundary of parcel 001071035 to the intersection with the NE corner of parcel 001072010 then; Head northwest along a southern boundaries of 001071008 and 00107011 to the SW intersection of 001072011 with (3651) Hastings Ave W then; Head northeast along Hastings Ave W to the point of origin at NW corner of parcel 001071022 with (4393) Hastings Ave W This defined area includes all of the parcels within the outline described , including any not directly mentioned above in the perimeter boundary description ............ ...,... _..„ Each circle represents a 500-foot area around an occupied structure.
