MINUTES
Week of July 24,2006
Chairman Phil Johnson called the meeting to order in the presence of Commissioner David
W. Sullivan and Commissioner Patrick M. Rodgers.
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The following comments were made: a property owner in
Discovery Bay presented the Board with growing area review statistics for 2005 from the State Department
of Health, Office of Food Safety and Shellfish Programs and the 2003 Shoreline Survey of the Discovery
Bay Shellfish Growing Area and stated that he thinks the lowered water quality is temporary and the source
isn't failing septic systems because there is no data to support that theory; the DOE's guidelines for critical
areas are a topic of concem for all the counties throughout the State and, in May and June 2005, the
Planning Commission held three workshops to inform and educate the public about the changes in the
regulations and then they were told to move on to other issues because the County was negotiating with the
Washington Environmental Council (WEC), the Planning Commission's outreach efforts would have helped
involve the public in the process from the beginning and much of the current public outcry may have been
avoided, and when advisory boards want to engage the public on an issue, the Board should encourage them;
environmental groups are giving training sessions to encourage their members to submit a CD of their best
available science (BAS) at public hearings on the critical areas regulations in all the counties in order to
have more stringent ordinances passed and make sure that the CD can be used in Growth Management
Hearings Board appeals; what scientific evidence does the County have that the current wetland buffers
aren't working?; how will the new rules affect land values, affordable housing, and tax revenue?; the BAS
from the DOE hasn't been through peer review or public comment; the Supreme Court recently ruled against
excessive regulations regarding people's property; the farmers in the County are already doing a good job
protecting streams and creeks; the County needs land for affordable housing; State agencies are treating man
as subsidiary to the needs of wildlife and the State is writing development regulations for the County
because the Department of Ecology's BAS is the only one on the record; Jefferson County has an energized
public who will help get information into the record for the Board to make decisions on BAS at the local
level; concern was expressed about the WEC settlement agreement that says the County "shall" adopt the
DOE's BAS and the need for the Board to give direction to the Planning Commission BAS subcommittee or
their efforts will be a waste of time; the public needs to be included through the entire critical area ordinance
process; and the Board seems to be operating in the gray when it comes to Executive Sessions and the Open
Public Meetings Act.
