-Final Short Plats:
'I- (1) I. Minnihan, Short plat of 4-2 1/2 acre parcels. Planning Director Cunningham

Continuation of evaluation of "Hermitage Camper Club". Appearing in behalf of Hermitage are:
Bryant Wallar and Dr. Keart:>n. Resume of items discussed is as follows:
(1) Boat launch and depleation of shellfish-Wallar advised that the newly formed Coyle
Yacht" Club suggested they jointly request the state t:> post the public property t:> help eliviate
the existing treaspas sing problem because at the present time as many as 500 to 1,000 people
come onto the beach in tha t area just from boats, and this has become a maj:>r problem. Dr.
Kearton said the shellfish will probably be depleated by pollution and boating traffic irrespective
of the development. Planning Director Cunningham advised that according to the marine biobgist
that prepared this portion of the impact statement said the primary danger t:> depleation of
the shellfish is overpicking and water quality degredation.
(2) Fencing of camper club property-Dr. Kearton said fencing woulde be extremely expens ive
and it is not intended-signs are as effective and would be posted on all but a portion of the
western side.
(3) Fire protection-No response from the DNR as of this date. Kearton advised they plan to
have fire supression equipment.
(4) Number of members per site-Dr. K earton said the average :>ccupational denisty, five
years after development completi:>n, for the maximum number of sites would be 890 people per
day. First years development would be 163 sites and the 2nd years devebpment approximately
185 sites for an overall total of 1100 units.
(5) Sewerage costs -Kearton said the 1st Division sewerage costs will be approxima tely
$430,000 which is a little less than 50% of the entire project.
(6) Water supply-Based on usage rate, the first well will supply 750 units. They plan to
drill an:>ther well and have a st:>rage tank in the north-west section of the property.
(7) Improvements -First year improvements are to c:>nsist of internal roads, water and
sewer system, existing lodge building, 163 sites, entrance way, gas stati:>n, sbre, maj:>r
gates, one bath house, trails, tennis court, and one swimming pool totaling approximately
$494,000. Assessor Ingman said these improvements could n:>t be considered as increased revenue
to the County through taxation because we are limited to 106% and with that formula, most of these
improvements would not be c:>nsidered as construction, but would merely be an increase in the
land value, so what in fact they are going to db is increase the revenue that much, but it would be
reflected in a lowering of the !Tiilliage rate for other residents throughout the County and wouldn't
really help help the County any due the 106% limitation.
(8) Cost of garbage disposal-Dr. Kearton said the entire costs for hauling the refuse for
this project will be financed by the developer-including bringing it into the P:>rt Townsend
landfill.
(9) Membership ratio-Kearton said the reas:>n they show a 3-1 multiple is because it's

easier to sell the capital c:>st of the site distributed in thirds, and they also plan a "site
reserve" membership with red, blue, and green memberships and separate dates when each
type membership can use the club. He said they als:> plan to either have certain areas or
days open to public use. Planning Director Cunningham explained that :>ccupancy rate is
related to the ratio of memberships per site and with their studies of camper clubs around
the state have found that :>n a 1 to 1 ratio that maximum occupancy ratios were appDximately
40%, s:> theoretically 3 t:> 1 would mean 100% occupancy rate.
(10) Red, blue, and green periods-Waller submitted a calander marked with red, blue
and green colors showing certain registration dates-to be stipulated in member ship contracts-
when members could use their camp facility on a rotation basis for a total of 120 days per year.
Jack Cunningham, :>bserver and area property owner, said this type of arrangement would lead
to 100% occupancy. The Board said another thing that hasn't been taken into consideration is
the number of children per family in relation to the impact. Planning:,IDirector Cunningham
said their findings have disclosed 5 to 7 people per site when the site is occupied, which would
have a tremendous bearing on the occupancy ratio.
(11) H:>w to control members from bri1'1ging in boats-No definite answer or solution given by
Hermitage representatives, -only they will try to discourage members from bringing, Dr coming
in by, boats.
In conclusi:>n of the days evaluation Planning Director Cunningham stressed that the membership
rati:> affects the occupancy ratio, and therefore, the impact, and due to the developers chosing
the ratio of 3 to 1 on the basis of marketability he requested a copy :>f their market analysis
be presented to the Boord.
David Johnson, Architect, appeared to give a progress report :>n the schematic design phase of
the Chimacum-Hadlock C:>mmunity Center. The Board requested that he present his plans to the
community building committee for approval and input before proceeding further.
Sam Humes, Realtor, appeared re: Plat of Lazy C. He explained that he has a lot owner
within the plat that wants t:> sell to another individual and asked what the latest information is
on the water situation. Pros. Attorney Howard stated he will contact the Attorney Generals
Office for a progress report.
Pros. Attorney Howard presented a resolution to designate Steven Simon as acting C:>unty
Mental Health Professional during the brief absence of Robert Goehring. Moved by Commissioner
O'Meara, seconded by Commissioner Mercer to approve and sign Resolution No. 76-75 as
follows. Unanimous. (Res. No. 76-75)
There being no additional time left for todays business the meeting was adj ourned until
November 7, 1975.
