The main concern when this proposal was originally reviewed was that the project was exceeding the parameters for a "home occupied business" . A motion was made at that time to issue a home business conditional use permit for Timbercraft Homes . Mr . & Mrs . Landau the owners of Tim- bercraft Homes are asking to modify the conditions on which that home business use was based, by changing Condition #14 to deal with the number of full time equivalent employees which would be utilized on the site . Mr . and Mrs . Landau were present to explain their request for the Board as follows : Mrs . Judith Landau explained that all of the conditions placed on their building permit are acceptable to them. She reported that the building has been upgraded to a timber frame barn and the entire business will be enclosed within that structure . The condition which only allows two employees is not functional for their project . For the last seven years they have functioning with between two and six employees at various times . Five of the past eight months there has been no one working on the property. Mrs . Landau further stated that at the present time they feel that it is better for them to function has they have in the small shop on their property. Two to four additional people driving onto the property and leaving their cars out of site of any other residences in the area will not make a measura- ble impact on the neighborhood. The people will not create any additional noise or disturbance because they will be working with draftsman' s tools and hand tools . The shop is insulated and there is practically no sound that comes from the building. Basically the grandfather clause , Mrs . Landau concluded, allows their business to function in their present facilities . All they are asking is to be allowed to do essentially what they are doing now, only in a nicer facility and to contain the operation in a way that it won' t cause any problems for anyone. Chairman Dennison asked what has changed since the first time this project was reviewed that would require more full time equivalent employees? The discussion then centered on the number of full time equivalent employees that are actually being proposed . Commissioner George Brown stated that two full time employees would work 4 , 160 hours in a year without any overtime. Mr . Landau responded that the two person home business is not a fixed and fast rule . He also stated that this business has been operating for approximately eight years in its ' present location with two to six people and everyone agrees that they can continue to do this . What they want to do is be able to employ up to six full time employees without having to worry about someone monitoring them all the time . Mr. Landau added that the ordinance that allows these conditions , as he understands it, is trying to reduce the industrial impact on the area. There are many home businesses operating in the County that are operating beyond the home business limitation of two people . When this project was reviewed originally and the issue of employees was discussed, Chairman Dennison stated, there was a problem because the policy allows two full time employees . To try to accommodate the needs of the project proponents the wording was changed to say "full Commissioners ' Meeting Minutes : September 14 , 1987 Page : 4 time equivalent" employees . This request again tests the County' s policy on home occupied businesses . Discussion then continued regarding the parameters set for home occupied businesses and the County' s current policy. Mrs . Landau added that the policy the County has needs to be enforced and they feel unjustly discriminated against because there are many other people operating home occupied businesses that are not meeting the policy. David Goldsmith added that this situation is different than most because this is not a new business just being started. This is an existing business with an existing work force established, so the policy may not fit the existing conditions . Currently the only way the County can deal with this project is to consider it a home occupied business or redesignate the property for an industrial use . Commissioner B .G . Brown reminded those present that this policy has been under review for change for the past three years , and it isn' t right to expect people to wait until the policy is changed to present their proposals. This proposal by the Landau' s sounds like they are making an effort to lessen the impact of the business on their neigh- bors . David Goldsmith reported that the proposed implementing or- dinance states that if a grandfathered use wants to expand or change it can be allowed as long as the degree of non-conformity doesn' t change ( the non-conformity isn' t made worse) . He then suggested that some upper limit be set for the number of employees to assure that the neighbors have some protection. Discussion ensued regarding how the policy was developed that included the two employee limit . Palmer Osborn, a neighbor to the Landau' s , stated that he is in favor of home occupied businesses in the county. He then reported that since this project was reviewed last there has been tractor trailer traffic into the site every month from February through August . Most of the time during the summer the workman have been arriving at 7 : 00 a.m. One Sunday the operation was on-going until 8 : 30 p.m. , and on one occasion a truck arrived at the site at 6 : 20 a.m. . The concern regarding this project becoming an industrial operation has turned out to be fact . Mrs . Landau explained that the property next to their 11 1/2 acre site is more than 300 feet away from the operation. During the months of March and April there has been no activity on the site because the employees were working off the property at various other sites . Employees did come to the site so they could pick up tools and car pool to the work site . Mr . Landau added that during an eight month period there were tractor trailers on the site three times , and flatbed trucks on site an additional three times . Mr. Osborn responded that he is not making up any misinformation regarding the activity on this site . The Landau's stated that they were not making up any misinformation either . The discussion then centered around the wording of Condition #14 that would be acceptable to all parties . Commissioner George Brown noted that six full time employees would mean 12 , 480 man hours per year . If these employees only worked six months a year they would work 6 , 240 hours . Two employees full time per year is 4 , 160 hours . This would mean that six full time employees for six months would be working slightly more man hours than two full time employees for a year . A business needs the latitude, Commissioner B .G . Brown added, to have the employees needed at the time they are needed. It is his under- standing that the location on the property of the new building is better with respect to the location of the Osborn' s property and their proximity to the operation. Commissioner George Brown moved to change the wording of Condition #14 to read as follows : "No more than six persons (other than members of the immediate family) shall be employed on-site. (The intent of this condition is to govern those employed on the site and not incidental movement of other employees to and from the site) . Commissioner George Brown seconded the motion. Chairman Dennison called for the vote . 1 r i CHARLES AND JUDITH LANDAU TIMBERCRAFT HOMES HOME BUSINESS CONDITIONS The following conditions, along with the site plan provided, constitutes the "binding site plan" upon which the building permit may be issued.

They have lived in Jefferson County since 1976. They have operated a business in their home and in an adjacent shop building at 85 Martin Road for the past six years . Shop hours are from 8: 00 AM to 4 : 30 PM, Monday through Friday. Their residence and shop are situated on 11 acres . The Landaus propose to build a farm type building several yards from their present woodshop. Before submitting an application for a building permit they seek approval for their project from the Jefferson County Planning Department . Timbercraft homes is a wood-craft business that designs and builds timber frame homes . The timber frames are cut from Douglas Fir timbers using skilled joinery techni- ques . The pre-cut frames are transported from the shop in Port Townsend to building sites in various parts of the Northwest . The business is somewhat seasonal. They currently average one timber frame per month. The long range goal is to maintain an average of one and one half frames per month. Timbercraft Homes currently employs two craftsmen on a full time basis . During peak seasons they customarily add two or three additional craftsmen. During the times when the homes are being assembled at the building sites there are periods of several weeks at a time when the shop is not used at all. The Landau residence and timber framing shop are both located at the end of a private road. A circular driveway makes it possible for any vehicular traffic to flow smoothly in a forward manner. We currently receive an average of three trucks per month. One truck delivers the timbers , a second truck picks up the pre-cut timbers for transport . A third truck may deliver back orders or replacement timbers . We do not anticipate needing to accommodate more than one truck per week. The reason for needing an additional building is to accom- modate our present and projected work schedule . The pro- posed building will resemble a farm building. (See attach- ed plan) . It will be sided with wood and roofed with "Onduline" roofing. The plan includes a proposal to buffer this building with dense plantings of native trees and shrubs . A drip system will be installed to maintain the landscaping. Any vehicles will be concealed from view behind the shop building. That area will also be enhanced by tree planting. During its past six years of operating, the Timbercraft Home business has maintained a low profile. There are no signs advertising the business . There is no audible noise beyond a few yards from the shop building. The loudest noise is from a skill saw which is used only occasionally. Out side of the employees who enter and leave the property once a day, we may have as few as zero or as many as five visitors per week. To date we have had no complaints about the operation of the Timbercraft business . We are sensitive to maintain- ing the rural quality of the neighborhood because it is our home. We do not anticipate that the building we porpose will have any negative impact on the neighborhood. In fact ,the addition of a larger building will allow for all materials to be stored inside . The new building will be insulated and allow the operation to be even more quiet . We expect that the proposed landscaping will be a pleasant addition to the neighborhood. To anyone who might be concerned that a larger shop building pre- sumes a potential increase in noise , traffic, or unsightly materials lying about the Landau's response is clear. The Timbercraft Homes business will continue to maintain the same low profile as it has in the past . l :I IIIIuu11111 11 I 1 a, ems, IIII �Ii' I,w ? W I°.0100111 ,V,W.
