Fischbach Clerk of the Board: Lorna Delaney MINUTES Week of April 24, 2006 Chairman Phil Johnson called the meeting to order in the presence of Commissioner David W. Sullivan and Commissioner Patrick M. Rodgers. Setting 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Docket: Josh Peters, Lead Senior Planner, reported that the Department of Community Development received 5 site specific Comprehensive Plan amendment applications that are automatically placed on the docket. There are also 2 suggested amendments, one by a Planning Commission member and the other by DCD. The Planning Commission and staff recommend that these suggested amendments also be docketed. If the Board agrees with the recommendation, there is no need for a public hearing. Ifthe Board disagrees, or wants to revise the suggested amendments, they will need to hold a public hearing and then make a decision on the final 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Docket. The suggested amendment by the Planning Commission member concerns the land use map. Currently there is one map that combines land use designations and zoning. The proposed amendment would create two distinct maps. The map in the Comprehensive Plan would show general land use designations. A second map in the UDC would contain more specific zoning classifications and associated development densities. The amendment suggested by staff is proposed language to create more clarity and direction for residential up zone criteria in the Comprehensive Plan. Language would also be added to introduce the concept of a Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) program. TDRs are mentioned in the Comprehensive Plan as a "tool" in the "conservation box" and this proposal would add language to other parts of the plan and make a connection with existing policies. There was a discussion about other jurisdictions that haveTDR programs in place, especially counties in Washington State. Josh Peters noted that the proposed amendment does not create a program, but introduces language into the Comprehensive Plan that would help support the adoption of a program in the future. He noted that several local agencies, including the Conservation District and the Land Trust, have begun discussing conservation alternatives for the future and the State Department ofFish and Wildlife is developing a mapping system for core habitat areas and habitat corridors on the North Olympic Peninsula. Commissioner Sullivan reported that the State Department of Community and Economic Development has mentioned developing model rules regarding conservation using GMA protocols. These rules could then be used on a local level. He suggested that it may be better to wait and do more TDR research in cooperation with the State or to lobby with the Washington State Association of Counties to have CTED develop these types of protocols. Page 1 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of April 24, 2006 ~' ~ Commissioner Rodgers stated that he has concerns about TDRs. He likes the current public process to set the appropriate zoning and land use in an area. Josh Peters replied that the goal is to maintain a variety of rural residential densities. Each year they receive applications from property owners for upzones. He said that the option of going through the Comprehensive Plan amendment cycle would still be available to these people. The TDR process would be an additional option. Commissioner Rodgers and Commissioner Sullivan agreed that it might be too soon to take on the TDR issue. Jim Hagan, Planning Commission member, stated that the TDR issue is a very small component ofthe suggested amendment. The amendment is meant to clarify existing language relating to changes in rural residential densities. Commissioner Sullivan noted that the Planning Commission has a busy workplan for this year. Al Scalf explained that the workplan is not static and it can change depending on the need. The Planning Commission's two priority projects this year are the Port Hadlock UGA Sewer Plan and the Shoreline Master Plan update. Commissioner Sullivan said that he would be inclined to wait on adding both the suggested amendments to the docket. Dennis Shultz, the Planning Commission member who suggested the land use map revision offered the reasons for the proposed amendment. Commissioner Sullivan noted that he has received comments from citizens that changing the land use map could be controversial. Commissioner Rodgers moved to take the two suggested amendments on the preliminary 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment docket to public hearing. Commissioner Sullivan seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Josh Peters noted that the hearing will be to take comments from the public on whether these two amendments will be included in the final docket. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S BRIEFING: John Fischbach reviewed the following items: · Highlights of the work regarding economic development that was done last week by Diversified Resources. · The public open house on the Port Hadlock UGA Sewer project has been postponed in order to schedule a workshop with the consultant regarding financial matters. The combined discharge and treatment alternatives workshop is scheduled for May 25. The public involvement workplan has been finalized. · The Hearing Examiner extended the comment period on the Port Ludlow buildout and marina expansion project to allow for continued mediation between the parties. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: No public comments were made. APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF THE CONSENT AGENDA: Commissioner Rodgers moved to approve all of the items on the Consent Agenda as presented. Commissioner Sullivan seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. 1.

They want to review the current structure of information sharing and coordination to see if it is working or if they need to research other models for responding to similar issues that may come up in the future. The Hood Canal Coordinating Council is a non-profit organization. The County Commissioners from Jefferson, Kitsap, and Mason County are board members. There are also 3 members from the Skokomish Tribe and 3 members from the Port Gamble S , Klallam Tribe on the board. The Commissioners were asked to give their opinions and comment on several topics that will aid the visioning process and the goals ofthe assessment.

Paradise Bay Road Closure: Transportation Manager Bruce Laurie explained that the Paradise Bay Road construction project has begun. The contractor has asked to temporarily close a short section of the Paradise Bay Road between Oak Bay and Breaker Lane because there are some large trees located near the power lines that have to be removed and that will require the use of a crane. Port Ludlow Associates, the property owners of Breaker Lane, have agreed to let the County use the road as a detour. The RCW allows the Board to take action to close a road without notice ifit is for less than 12 hours. Commissioner Rodgers moved to close a section of Paradise Bay Road for a short time on April 25 to remove the trees. Commissioner Sullivan seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. HEARING re: Proposed Ordinance Establishing a "No Shoot Zone" in the Paradise Bay Area: The Chair opened the public testimony portion of the hearing. Patrick Bowen. Paradise Bay, stated that he is a Water District Commissioner for Jefferson County Water District #1. The Water District Commissioners initiated this petition for a "no shooting zone" because they found bullets inside their wooden water storage tank. Abandoned cars near their tanks off Andy Cooper Road and at Teal Lake are targets for irresponsible gun users. Under the Homeland Security Act, the Water District is required to protect their facilities and water systems. Bob Krutenaut, stated that he is a former PUD Commissioner and a resident of northwest Shine. It is a felony to destroy utility property and it is a misdemeanor to shoot in a "no shooting zone." He s.ees this as an enforcement problem. He suggested that the Sheriff augment his force with deputized volunteers to patrol the area and take down license numbers. A "no parking/tow away" zone in front of the gates leading to the area would also help. He has no objection ifthe people in Paradise Bay want to have a "no shooting zone," but he doesn't think the boundaries need to extend into Shine. Joe Shriner, said that he is a retired Deputy Sheriff and Deputy Coroner from California. He is in favor of the proposed "no shooting zone." The noise is a nuisance that must be disclosed. It decreases property values. Nobody can control where a bullet goes because it can ricochet off any surface. People go onto the DNR and Pope land to shoot at the abandoned cars, there is lead and copper from the bullets leaching into the water supply, and cleanup ofthe area would be very expensive. He is hesitant to call the Sheriffs Office because Deputies might be going into a situation where they would be outgunned. He has approached people in the area shooting fully-automatic Uzis which is a federal firearms violation and a felony. A law needs to be enacted that the Sheriff can enforce or more of an effort needs to be made to keep people out of the area because right now it is an attractive nuisance. He called DNR and they said they would do something about the shooting. It quieted down for awhile, but has started up again. A person's Second Amendment rights aren't being violated because they can still own firearms, they just can't discharge them in the "no shooting zone." A "no shooting zone" shouldn't affect licensed hunters or someone protecting their family or animals from a rabid animal. He doesn't want people target practicing, automatic weapons going off, or a massive cleanup in the future. Page 4 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of April 24, 2006 -'~.''''~'+, - . .....'., ""' ~ . -."" ~f_l~>,~~-. ,l'~ Dan Hosfeldt, Paradise Bay, stated that, in his opinion, the projected boundaries ofthe "no shooting zone" are ludicrous. He and approximately 200 other people live in an area included within the boundaries that is no where near the abandoned cars. One boundary goes out into Hood Canal for ~ mile. The people that are target shooting are from out of the area and they are law breakers. A posted "no shooting zone" isn't going to stop them or their irresponsible use of firearms. Discharging full-automatic weapons is a federal crime, why isn't that law enforced? Why impose restrictions on law-abiding citizens who are responsible gun owners and range owners who have been shooting in the area for many years? The Second Amendment gives people the right to have firearms, but they also have to know how to use them responsibly. He read a petition signed by 32 people who are against the "no shooting zone," and noted that he collected the signatures in one afternoon. (See permanent record.) Eric Nelson, Port Townsend, stated that the proposed "no shooting zone" in Paradise Bay is part of a bigger issue because Sheriff Brasfield wants a "no shooting zone" designated in the Tri Area. Some people want the "no shooting zone" because they dislike the noise and fear for the public safety. Their fears arise from unknown men who recklessly fire their guns on backroads. The utilities district wants the zone because equipment has been shot up through the illegal use of firearms. Other residents don't want the "no shooting zone." Residents, like Dan Hosfeldt, have a right to responsibly discharge firearms on their land. Dan owns 18 acres and all his neighbors have parcels of at least 5 acres. Dan and his neighbors have not been wrecking havoc in their own backyard. Criminals are the culprits and they need to be brought to justice with the current laws on the books. The proposed "no shooting zone" will make criminals out of responsible neighbors. Crime is sweeping the County and there is a movement to form neighborhood watch groups. We need to join hands in community to guard our lands. Ken Hanson, Shine, stated that his property adjoins Pope and DNR land. The logging roads are regularly used by people shooting automatic weapons. There is a lot of noise, a lot of guns, and a lot of shooting, especially on the weekends. He is a runner and uses those roads. He has come across groups of guys drinking beer and shooting down the road toward his home. Sometimes they take a 6 inch fir tree and shoot at it until it falls over. He isn't against shooting, but he is against people shooting towards his house. There is a gravel pit in the area that he has cleaned up twice. Andy Cooper Road only has one car on it now that is used as a target, but on the east side of Teal Lake, there are 3 or 4 cars that people shoot into. It's a real problem and it is only a matter oftime until someone gets hurt. It's an issue that needs to be addressed. Richard Broders, Discovery Bay, stated that "no shooting zones" are an issue for the whole County. The proposed boundaries of the Paradise Bay "no shooting zone" include highly developed areas that possibly should be designated. A lot of the property within the boundaries is owned by Pope and is forest. There are certain State laws on the issue. RCW 9.41.290 states, "The State of Washington fully occupies and preempts the entire field of firearms regulation within the boundaries of the State including the registration, licensing, possession, purchasing, sale, acquisition, transfer, discharge, etc...." It also says there are exceptions where the County can pass laws regarding those matters and one is RCW 9.41.300. The exception that is relevant to this issue is (2) where it says, "Cities, towns, counties and other municipalities may enact laws and ordinances (a) restricting the discharge of firearms in any portion of their respective jurisdictions where there is a reasonable likelihood that humans, domestic animals or property will be jeopardized. Such laws and ordinances shall not abridge the right of individuals guaranteed by Article 1, Section 24 of the State Constitution to bear arms in defense of self and others." Page 5 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of April 24, 2006 " '-"'., ;" "Y, He feels that the key phrase in this RCW is "a reasonable likelihood." "Likelihood" means probability. The best definition for "reasonable" is "not unexpected," "logical," or "that which most would agree to." The definition for "a reasonable likelihood" was "not considered to be a rare event." The State Legislature allows counties to enact "no shooting zones" where there is a reasonable likelihood of endangering humans, domestic animals, or property. It sounds like the people who are shooting are trespassing and committing vandalism and reckless endangerment. He doesn't think they are going to be stopped by a "no shooting zone" sign and a $100 fine. The County needs to apply the State law to any "no shooting zone" they designate. Pat Bowen, stated that the Sheriffs Office was involved when he filed the "no shooting zone" petition with the County because, in order for the Sheriff to enforce the law, the boundaries have to be physical and clearly defined. That is the reason one boundary is Hood Canal. The Water District Commissioners aren't against responsible shooters, they want to stop the irresponsible shooters. He doesn't have a problem with gun ranges. It is a person's right to protect their family and animals. The proposed boundaries can be changed. Dan Hosfeldt, suggested that the defined boundaries could be the PUD boundary, gated areas where the public is not allowed, and private property that the Sheriff can access in order to stop the illegal shooting. He doesn't think that the "no shooting zone" should blanket an area from the water out to the highway. Eric Nelson, stated that designating the proposed boundaries will make "fall guys" out of responsible neighbors. Dan Hosfeldt on his 18 acres and his neighbors on their 5 acre parcels are not contributing to the damage of public or private property. A law that affects them will have no impact on the criminal behavior that people are already experiencing. Wanda Anderson, stated that the Board may want a ''woman's perspective" on this matter. She lives on Bywater Way. Responsible gun laws already exist. She is on the "Beautification Committee" for her community because she wants it to look nice. She doesn't like to see abandoned cars around, but she doesn't think it is the responsibility of a gun owner to clean that up. She saw a man dumping trash bags from his pick-up truck on the side of the road, and so she stopped and sat in her car so he could see her and she wrote down his license number. Eventually, he drove off. It's like the "community watch" that someone mentioned. Maybe people could get the license numbers from shooters' cars. She feels it would be an injustice to take the rights of people in the community who are obeying the laws. Tom Thiersch, Jolie Way, stated that he doesn't live in the proposed "no shooting zone." He is concerned about establishing unnecessary ordinances if the Sheriff isn't enforcing the current laws. These people could be cited for damaging public property, endangering citizens by shooting in their direction, discharging a firearm within 500 feet of residence or within 100 feet of a property line, or somewhere other than a shooting range. Why enact another law that is a misdemeanor? Ken Hanson, stated that the law is not clear to him and he doesn't really want to spy on someone to see what they are doing and get their license number. All he hears from his house is the noise. It's not easy to come up with hard facts that the Sheriff can use to arrest someone. There are locked gates that A TV s and motorcycles go around. Establishing a boundary will put people on notice. He thinks the signs will help. Page 6 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of April 24, 2006 '~'.".'.'.."..:.."'..1 ::. ....:~\ ~ "fl'If', "l\'~'''' Tom Thiersch, stated that Jefferson County CodeI8.20.350 addresses the use of property for the purpose of shooting ranges. A private shooting range must be 5 acres, 500 feet from a dwelling, and completely fenced. He noted that it doesn't actually define a shooting range in that section. Joe Shriner, stated that a while back a tow truck driver was killed by his irate son-in-law. Fortunately, a Deputy was nearby and effected the arrest. If that Deputy would have been out trying to enforce a County ordinance that doesn't exist, the guy would have probably killed his ex-wife also. If a Deputy is sent out, he needs to have a legal reason to enforce whatever it is that he is going to do. If people are using safeguards, the Deputy is going to know and has the right to discretion decision making. The "no shooting zone" would address irresponsible shooters coming into the County who are creating nuisances, causing property values to decrease, and adding to liability and negligence concerns for landowners. The Second Amendment gives a person certain rights, but there is also police power that exists in this country and that includes the ability to enact fair laws. Bruce Anderson, Bywater Way, stated that everyone talks about noise, but A TV s tear up the woods worse than any target shooter. He has built and shot flintlock muskets for most of his life and he enjoys it. One ofthe reasons they moved to Jefferson County was to have room to do those things. Physicians and cars kill more people than stray bullets. Dale Glidewell, Bywater Way, stated that he rides horses on the logging roads. Pope has a sign on their property prohibiting motorized vehicles but people still take their bikes and A TV s back into the property on the weekends. The sign doesn't stop them. He doesn't want to see a "no trespassing" sign in the area because he won't be able to ride his horses there. Pat Todd, Shine, stated that she is in support ofthe "no shooting zone." It sounds like the issue of people using guns on their own property has already been addressed and it is legal to have a shooting range on your property as long as the guidelines are followed. Compromise is necessary so that responsible gun owners can continue to use their firearms. The people from out of the area are the problem. She has heard stories about residents of Bywater Bay with property adjacent to the area where these people shoot who have had stray bullets go through their yard. After they bought their property, they found out from neighbors that occasionally bullets would come through the property. Bullets can ricochet and those shooters don't know that there are houses on the other side ofthe trees. It sounds like both sides need to compromise. The issue of target shooting, stray bullets, and illegal weapons needs to be addressed without jeopardizing the rights of gun owners shooting on their own property on their own ranges. There is a " public shooting range in Jefferson County. She thinks some people would be stopped by a "no shooting zone" sign. Bob Krutenaut, stated that responsible shooters always know where their bullets are going, irresponsible shooters don't care. If the irresponsible shooters cars were towed away and they had to walk a long way, they would probably get the idea that this is not a good place to shoot. Page 7 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of April 24, 2006 ::~"""'\ +' ...... ,.. "f,;, , ',~~, ,., r I"~' Dan Hosfeldt, stated that the commission of a felony is a legitimate reason to send a Sheriff s Officer to an area. The individuals creating the problem are not law-abiding citizens. They aren't responsible shooters and they aren't responsible stewards ofthe land. A sign is not going to stop them, in fact, it will probably be used as a target. The focus needs to be on the enforcement of laws currently on the books and signage on PUD properties. He doesn't think a blanket enforcement of a "no shooting zone" will do any good except impinge on the rights and freedoms of legitimate gun ownership and use in the County. Wanda Anderson, stated that when she lived in Denver a bullet ricocheted and came through her window. They want to form a "neighborhood watch" that could get license numbers and call the Sheriff. They don't support the "no shooting zone," but understand the problem. Ken Hanson, noted that the shooters cars are parked far away from where they target practice. Tom Thiersch, stated that he lives 3,500 feet from Gun Club Road. There is gunfire every day, and especially on the weekends. It is a legal shooting range and has 8 foot berms and there has never been a problem with a stray bullet. People who use the gun range exercise their right responsibly. Pat Bowen, stated that the property south of Teal Lake is owned by the State. This is where the people are shooting. The State won't do anything to stop the shooters. They also shoot on Pope property. Commissioner Rodgers asked where the water storage tank is located? Pat Bowen replied that it is on the State property off Andy Cooper Road. The PUD also has storage tanks in the area. Karen Hosfeldt, Paradise Bay Road, stated that there has been a shooting range on their property for about 10 years. They have 3 children and their son-in-law is a Deputy Sheriff for Jefferson County who has shot on the range many times. She feels that, as responsible gun owners, they have encouraged many young people to become responsible gun owners because they have been able to shoot on their range. It is a controlled environment with all the safety equipment and it is very structured. Once a neighbor complained and the Sheriff came out and said there was no problem. They were not concerned because they knew it was an approved shooting range. They even asked if they could come out some time and shoot. If a "no shooting zone" is done in a generalized way, it will be detrimental to young people who still use the shooting range. They don't use the range for hours and hours so that it bothers the neighbors. On 4th of July, there is more noise from fireworks at Hoods Head than from the shooting range. Commissioner Rodgers asked the Director of Community Development if people hunt in that area? Al Scalf replied that they hunt deer. Hearing no further comments, Chairman Johnson closed the public hearing. The Board agreed that they want more information before they make a decision. Al Scalf introduced Rachel McHugh, Assistant Planner, and noted that one of her first projects is working on the "no shooting zone" criteria with the Planning Commission. The project is expected to take a few months. Commissioner Sullivan asked that the minutes from this hearing be forwarded to DCD and the Sheriff. He noted concerns about automatic weapons versus musket loaders and having a shooting range within a "no shooting zone." The Board said that they will continue their deliberations on the Paradise Bay "no Page 8 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of April 24, 2006 shooting zone." Chairman Johnson noted that if the Sheriff gets a complaint about gun noise, how will he know it isn't a hunter or a private gun range? Al Scalf reviewed Jefferson County's current shooting range regulations.

Based on the map provided, there are some areas of concern as they pertain to "easily identified boundaries". I will begin the review from the intersection of Paradise Bay Road and Teal Lake Road. Two locations in particular would cause some concern from an enforcement standpoint: 1) When the boundary running along Paradise Bay Road reaches"Willow Street" just south of Tala Shores Drive, the boundary is shown cutting over to the beach along "Willow Street". I will have to have someone go out there, but I think "Willow Street" is a map maker's line, and not an actual street. 2) The boundary then runs along the shoreline, and out across the spit and around Hoods Head Island, then cuts across the harbor and comes ashore in the woods south of Seven Sisters Road and then intersects with Paradise Bay Road again, before continuing south to Highway 1 04. This line through the woods from the shore to Paradise Bay Road does not provide anything approaching a clearly and easily understood boundary. It would be better to run the boundary from where it completes the "rounding of Hoods Head Island, directly to the west end of the Hood Canal Bridge at Highway 104. The remainder of the boundary is clear enough. West on Highway 104 to Teal Lake Road, then north on Teal Lake Road to the starting point at the intersection of Teal Lake Road and Paradise Bay Road. Has anyone looked at how this relates to the existing Port Ludlow no shooting zone as to overlap or contingency? Mike Michael D. Brasfield Jefferson County Sheriff 360-385-3831 3/6/2006 Message Page 1 of 1 Leslie Locke From: Mike Brasfield Sent: Monday, March 06, 2006 2:33 PM To: Leslie Locke Subject: Paradise Bay - Water District Proposed No Shooting Zone Leslie - As it pertains to my response earlier today, it does appear that the northern boundaries that Water District 1 has proposed for their new No Shooting Zone does overlap the existing Port Ludlow No Shooting Zone boundaries. Mike Michael D. Brasfield Jefferson County Sheriff 360-385-3831 3/6/2006 Leslie Locke From: Sent: To: Subject: Mike Brasfield Tuesday, March 07. 2006 10:42 AM Leslie Locke RE: No Shoot Zone Leslie - When you have overlapping, or contiguous boundaries, you are actually expanding an existing no shoot zone. It creates a problem with enforcement when you have the same geographical area covered under 2 different ordinances, even if they are touching. Which ordinance do you charge someone with in violation and enforcement. The required signatures of resident voters in overlapping areas might support parts of one area, but not parts of the other. In short - no overlap. If necessary, reduce the Port Ludlow zone and have it stop at Teal Lake, and the Paradise Bay start at Teal Lake. If and when this comes before the BOC, please let me know in advance. Mike -----Original Message----- From: Leslie Locke Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2006 10:37 AM To: Mike Brasfield Subject: No Shoot Zone Hi Mike, You are right about the Port Ludlow No Shoot Zone and the Proposed Paradise Bay No Shoot Zone overlapping. After thinking about it, is it a problem that they overlap? They probably needed an identifiable boundary and had to use Teal Lake Road. Let me know your thoughts.

We believe that there are current laws on the books, if enforced that would stop shooting in inappropriate areas; such as logging roads, near or at areas where people meet and work. The area south of Paradise Bay Estates is made up of five acre and up parcels. People in this area have private shooting ranges on their property. The properties are not in an area of schools, meeting halls, churches, and community centers. These people are good law-abiding citizens and live in this area because we are away from urban sprawl and congestion. They have been very careful to ensure that they are not endangering people, animals and property. They are not the ones who are abusing the system or damaging property. Their freedom to lawfully shoot on their range should not be infringed upon because of the people who do not obey the guidelines. We are against a no shooting zone being declared in our area.

Hello, I am writing to strongly support the need for a no-shooting zone in Paradise Bay. The gunfire along Andy Cooper Road is a real danger. I ride my bike through there every weekend and have personally witnessed people firing automatic weapons at an old bullet riddled wreck along the road. The gunfire can be very unnerving as you ride or walk along the road. How can you be sure that these people are responsibly firing at a safe target? You can't. One foolish shot toward the road could be a disaster. The noise is heard throughout Paradise Bay. The area is too dense and travelled by people of all kinds walking, on bikes, jogging and driving through in cars. This is not a good mix with unsupervised shooting on private property. Where is the landowner in all this? There is garbage, junk, wrecked car, spent shells, broken glass allover where the shooters go. The danger of someone getting shot from a stray bullet is too great to allow this near our neighborhood. Please establish the no-shooting zone and enforce it. Thank you, John Adams Paradise Bay Resident. 1 r\ - - ~ - - - - - - JEFFERSON BOARD OF COMMiSSION~::~,-, ? {~5l<-<- -tt- ,Apv:/ IS- 'Loo(a 3 0 ~ 6"" ?OI.....-..ct \$.a... ~ 'I ~-rt L~al)owJA'r63~6 437- 0 7se> ~ Jo.ol'- rr. iD~ 1,=1 r;=:u ij:-~ f1 \1 n rc::} :-i'::-:', I ' Ii:::; ,'!

Box 1220 [Port Townsend, WA 98368 Subject: Paradise Bay NO SHOOTING ZONE Reference (a): Peninsula Daily News of April 9 2006 Reference (b): Auditors Parcel Numbers 821 334 009 and 821 334 010 Gentlemen: Reference (a) describes a proposed No Shooting zone, proposed by the people of Paradise Bay. Reference (b) describes property that we, the undersigned own, and where we reside north of Hwy 104 in what is commonly referred to as North Shine. It is difficult to understand why a no shooting zone is being imposed five miles away from where the problem exists. It is already illegal to maliciously destroy private property, (RCW 98.48.80 a class C felony) and to damage facilities belonging to public utilities. (RCW 9a.48.70 class B felony). By making the East-West centerline of Sec. 33, 34, 35 Range 1 E WM the southem boundary of the "No Shooting Zone," you remove most of the residential areas north of hwy 104 from being impacted by the zone. From my association with the PUD and talking to friends in Paradise Bay, it seems that the problem is more one of enforcement than lack of laws. Perhaps its time for deputized volunteer citizen patrols anned with radios and an old patrol car taking license numbers and video of illegal shooters to augment the Sheriffs meager resources. If the county would post No Parking zones for 300 feet in front of the gates that close the roads leading off the Andy Cooper road and tow the cars parked there. illegal shooting activity would be markedly reduced. Most illegal shooting activity comes from non-residents, people coming into the area from Kitsap County and points east, and south. Walk in shooters who returned to find their cars towed, would soon get the idea that shooting here is a bad idea. Maybe some "No Trespassing" signage would help notify walkers that their presence in the area was not sanctioned and to remain on the paved roadways. We purchased the referenced property in 1969 and immediately upon taking up residence, we established a single point pistol shooting facility, that did not require any t;>~ilQing~ or structures, simply a target in front of a sand trap embankment (m' $pOffl te~q i.'p'r;o~i~I'Y ~. '.. 3-1 5-1 995 1 121 : 22PM FROM P.2 ~'~, recycled into new bullets), which we have used since 1969. We believe that this land use is a grandfathered non conforming land use under present zoning. A "No Shooting Zone" overlay on our property would seriously impair our ability to use our property as we have always done since 1969. There have never been any complaints about our use of the property in this manner, to our knowledge. Our family enjoys the shooting sports and as a former police officer, I like to keep my skills up to date with practice from time to time. We respectfully request that you exempt the referenced property from any "No Shooting" overlay if you extend the southern boundary to Hwy 104. Sincerely, Robert A. Krutenat Dolo}fS M.
