April 14, 1975
10:00 a.m. - Meeting called to order by Chairman B.G. Brown with all members
present.
Jack Padia, County Building Inspector, and Randall Durant, District Sanitar-
ian appeared re: Letter from Durant relating to an amendment to the Build-
ing Code. The Health Department recommends that an amendment be added to
the Code removing the exemption of the building permit requirement for
garages to prevent structures from being built over the existing septic tank
and drainfield. padia recommends the amendment be added so he can be aware
of the proposed location, type of flooring, height of ceiling, size of door
opening, etc. Due to the original recommendation for exemption coming from
the Planning Commission, it was moved by Commissioner Mercer and seconded by
Chairman Brown (in brief absence of Commissioner O'Meara) to refer the matter
back to the Planning Commission for reconsideration and recommendation.
Hearing (continued form March 24, 1975): Proposed vacation of certain lots
and road within the Plat of HiddendaleTracts Addition. No one appeared to
speak against.the.,proposed vacation. Engineer Becker submitted a letter
recommending vacation of both lots and road named Cliffdale Drive. Recommend-
ation of approval also received from the Planning Department on March 24, 1975.
Motion by Commissioner O'Meara, second by Commissioner Mercer to approve
and sign Resolution No. 22-75, Order of Vacation. Unanimous.
Engineer Becker advised that he had been contacted by George and David Cotton
in regard to Cotto~ Corporation's petition for vacation of a portion of the
old Hadlock-Chimacum road, and they requested that petition be dropped
because they could not provide and equal amount of right-of-way to the County.
Therefore, in light of the evidence presented, it was moved by Commissioner
Mercer and sdconded by commissioner O'Meara to deny Cotton Corporation's
petition for vacation. Unanimous.
Winston Frenzel and Merle Fitz, who own property in the Plat of Olympus
Beach Tracts came in to ask if the County has any plans for completion of
the road contiguous to their property. Engineer Becker advised that
there are no immediate plans because there is only a 30 ft. right-of-way
at the present time, with the other 30 ft. still unplatted and in acreage.
The Board recommends th~1 establish the right-of-way lines and push a road
through themselves to use as a.driveway.
Chuck Myers appeared to inquire into the latest information on the Trident
project. Board advised that no new information had been submitted for the
last three months, but they plan to set up a meeting with the Trident people
as soon as possible.
Jean Sprague, President, and Dick Genberling, Treasurer, of the County
Historical Society, appeared to advise that the administrators of the
Washington State Capitol Museum in Olympia have offered them the opportunity
to establish a "Resources Centerll in the county museum for Victorian
restoration and preservation of homes and areas. The Museum has the space
and materials available, and they have a qualified person with an historical
education and background who could be the Director of the Center, but there
are insufficient funds in their budget to pay the salary. Amount of monies
needed is $3,900.00 for the year. AFter further explanation of the proposed
Center, it was moved by Commissioner O'Meara, seconded by Commissioner Mercer
to hold a hearing on April 28th for the purpose of taking testimony for
and against the allocation of funds for payment of salary fnom Federal
Revenue Sharing funds. Unanimous.
Alan Keimig, Architect, Tri-Cities Multi-Services Center, presented a

stated the cost was not established on the need of the Chimacum area's
facility, but was based on the possible amount HUD would fund under
discretionary funding. Costs estimated were: Land - $12,000; In-kind
services - $5,000; Federal Grant - $232,500; Total project - $249,500.
Actual Construction Cost (7,000 square feet.) @$28.65 sq.ft. - $200,543.47;
Sales Tax - $10,027.17; Architect/Engineer Fees - $21,929.35; Total Amount
$232,499.99. He said that HUD advised that the major reason for their
disapproval of the project was because the water system was based on
Port Townsend instead of the County. Chairman Brown asked that the square
footage for the administration office be cut down and a new set of figures
presented for resubmission by the County to Val Cameron, O.E.D.P., for
possible E.D.A. funding.
The Board approved and signed the following "Order" for payment of 10%

since expired so it will be necessary for Mr. Ralston to reapply
for another permit. Chairman Brown signed a letter to this affect
to so notify the Corps.

Bill Stratton appeared to ask the County to cut through a road on "Shady
Lane Drive", which is a 60ft. easement in the plat of Roosevelt Addition,
Quilcene, to allow the sale of landlocked property (approximately 5 acres)
within the plat. He said there is no marketable timber on the easement.
