LEO F. AND GEORGIA LOVE
CURRENT USE TAX ASSESSMENT REQUEST FOR OPE'I SPACE
REQUEST AND PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: To designate a parcel of land as open space for current
use tax assessment. The parcel is located approximately three miles east of Center on
County Road No. 12 (Port Townsend to Beaver Valley Road). The property is that portion of
Government Lot 7 west of County Road No. 1? within Section 6, Township 38 North, Range 1
Last, W.M. The fifteen acre parcel is predominately cleared. There is a house located on
the southern portion of the property with a driveway leading to it from County Road No. 12.
The intended use of the land is for grazing cattle. 1
The ,applicants stated the retaining of the subject area as open space would satisfy
the policies of the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan_ in that the property conserves and
enhances natural resources. Deer and other wildlife benefit from the land being unde-
veloped as it provides them with food, water, and cover.
DEPARTMENT FINDINGS: '
1. Jefferson County Planning Department:
a. The parcel is within an area designated rural on the optimum land use map of the
Jefferson County_ Comprehensive Plan.
b. The Jefferson County Park, Recreation, and Open Space Plan designates that a horse
--
trail is planned to be developed approximately one-half- mile north of the parcel ,
otherwise no other trails are planned or located in the vicinity.
2. Jefferson County Assessor's Office:
a. The assessed value of the land was reduced by twenty-five percent in 1979 because
the soil would not percolate for a septic tank system.
b. Existing and future buildings, residences, and other improvements are excluded
from current use tax assessment, as is an one acre homesite surrounding an exist-
ing residence. Future improvements to property classified under the current use
tax assessment law may cause that property to loose its classification as open
space if it changes the use of that property.
c. Assessed value of land classified as open space is reduced by fifty percent.
RECUMMLNDED CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL:
1. As suggested by the applicants, the County shall retain an easement in the northern
portion of the property which may be utilized as an equestrian trail .
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: At a public hearing January 2, 1980, the Commission reviewed
the request. The Commission found that approval of the request would not be consistent
with the policies of the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan for open space as the appli-
cant did not demonstrate that (a) there is a need for the property to be classified as
open space, (b) suitable compensation would be made to the general taxpaying public, and
(c) the subject property supports unique plant and wildlife. The Commission, by formal
motion, recommended to the Board of County Commissioners that the request be denied.
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION: At their regular meeting January 14, 1980, the Board
reviewed the application and the Commission's recommendation. The Board, by formal motion,
accepted the findings of the Commission and denied the request.
