Your message arrived while I was on vacation so DCD appreciates Tarboo Ridge Coalition’s patience. Fort Discovery/Cedar Hills is currently working towards compliance. The County has
granted Fort Discovery/Cedar Hills a 60 day extension to obtain the required wetland delineation report and the case is actively being monitored by the Code Compliance Officer (CCO).
The CCO continues to work with all parties to ensure compliance.
Please let me know if you need any further information.
Warm regards,
Brent

Mr. Brent Butler, Director

Port Townsend, WA 98368
Dear Director Butler,
On or about March 1, 2021, Jefferson County entered into a settlement agreement with Joseph D’Amico, Fort Discovery Corporation and Security Services Northwest.
One of the terms of the settlement agreement was Fort Discovery’s voluntary compliance to resolve multiple code violations on its Cedar Hills Property including but not limited to, illegal
filling and disturbance of wetlands.
As we approach the second anniversary of the settlement agreement, the Tarboo Ridge Coalition, the community group who opposed Mr D’Amico’s prior plans for the property, would appreciate
a status report on Fort Discovery’s compliance efforts.
Referencing the County’s May 2019 documented violations, may we expect a report detailing which violations have been resolved and those that remain to be corrected on or before March
1, 2023? You can mail the report to 1035 Carl Johnson Road, Quilcene, WA 98376 or email same to pnewland@whidbey.net <mailto:pnewland@whidbey.net> .
Sincerely yours,
Tarboo Ridge Coalition
Peter Newland, Chair
