Tami Pokorny, Environmental Health, Natural Resources Division re: Dosewallips Flood
Plain Acquisition Project: Tammy Pokorny explained that this project helps protect salmon habitat,
decreases threats to water quality, and provides an alternative for people who own property along the
migrating channel of the Dosewallips River. The 2005 Dosewallips River habitat assessment shows a
complex and diverse habitat for the many species of salmon that spawn in the river and the shellfish in the
estuary. Off channel habitat is also important. Seventy-four acres were acquired in Phase I of the project.
Phase IT of the project is focused on acquisitions in the "Powerlines Reach" approximately one mile from
Brinnon and downstream from the Lazy C. Approximately 33 acres are proposed for acquisition that are
owned by three landowners interested in selling their property. She reviewed the location, status, and
appraisal values of the property.
The majority of the funds available for acquisition of property are from the Secure Rural Schools Act, Title
ill funding. In Phase I, funding from the Salmon Recovery Funding Board (SRFB) was used for acquisition
of prime salmon habitat. A 15% match was required from the County. Some SRFB funding can only be
used for restoration in Phase IT, although they are willing to pay 85% of the cost of the largest parcel which
is 32.1 acres.
Mrs Fulton, one of the property owners, acknowledged that she is interested in selling her property because
the river channel is encroaching on her property and has caused a lot of damage. Bud Shindler read a letter
from Ken Shock who lives further up the river and is opposed to the acquisition project.
Barbara Nightingale, Department of Community Development re: Discussion and Possible
Decision to Accept Planning Commission Recommendation on Proposed Amendment to the Port Ludlow
Master Planned Resort (MPR) Code: The County Administrator noted that the representative for Michael
Holland has requested that the Board hold a public hearing on this amendment. Commissioner Sullivan
stated that the original proposal has had several revisions and the Planning Commission's public hearings
weren't based on the new proposal that was the result of the public process. Director of Community
Development Al Scalf stated that if another public hearing is scheduled, it would need to be the Board's
hearing.

Commission's recommendation is to deny the proposed amendment.
After a discussion about the process, the Board agreed that they would like to hold a public hearing on the
