Unanimous Hearings: 1) Proposed Road Vacation; all of Richard Road lying between Prospect Street and Bayview Drive and between Block 4 and Block 6, and also, all of the Lots 1 through 14 in Block 4; all in the Plat of ~lats Mats Beach, Government Lot 3, Section 33, Township 29, Range 1 East. Joseph Daniels and Lee W. Hanson, petitioners. Joseph Daniels appeared to answer, any questions posed by the Board or the public. No one appeared to speak against the vacation. Engineer Becker recommended that vacation of Richard Road be denied inasmuch as it provides access to lots 2 thru 6 in Block 6 of the plat. The Planning Commission recommended that vacation of Block 4 be granted and the vacation of Richard Road be denied due to it not being in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan nor lending to the orderly development of a residential area. The Board concured and therefore, it was moved by Commissioner O'Heara and seconded by Commissioner Brown to approve the vacation of lots 1 thru 14 in Block 4, Plat of Hats Mats Beach, and to deny vacation of Richard Road. Unanimous 2) Proposed Road Vacation; all that portion of an unnamed street lying between Lots 15 and 16 being 60 feet in width and 187 feet in length more or less, Plat of Sunny Slope. David F. Butler, petitioner. Mrs. David Butler appeared to answer any questions posed by the Board or the public. Hr. Fitz, contiguous property owner, appeared to speak for the vacation and no one appeared to speak against. Engineer Becker submitted a recommendation stating that according to the law, this street can only be vacated under certain conditions, neither of which apply to this case; (RCW 36.87.130 Vacation of roads abutting bodies of water prohibited unless for public purposes or industrial use). The Planning Commission found the petition would not be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan as it would not encourage development of salt water improved access. Hrs. Butler said the reason they wanted the road vacated is to enable e6~str'lictcionof two additional bedrooms and a bathroom onto their present home, and if the road cannot be vacated, then they would like to lease a portion of the road from the county. The Board stated they really had no choice in the matter and ,VOL 3 PAGE495 - Hlnutes of May 2, 1977 con't. . p. 2 therefore, on the recommendation of both the Planning Commission and the Engineer, it was moved by Commissioner Brown, seconded by Commissioner O'Heara to deny the proposed vacation.

Unanimous The minutes of the Board meeting held April 25, 1977 were approved as corrected by motion of Commissioner O'Heara and second by Chairman Hercer. Richard Thornton appeared regarding his preliminary plat of Sun Rock Hobil Home Park in Brinnon. He stated that he is having difficulty working with the district sanitarian and ask if there is someone else from whom he can receive assistance with his plan. He described what he feels are discrep- ancies between certain lot sizes required in a much smaller plat and what is being required from him. He proposes 18 mobil home sites on ten acres for rental purposes only. The Board reviewed and discussed the proposed plat but made no recommendations. Hr. Thornton said the main reason for coming before the Board was just to voice his complaint. Business from the Planning Dept: (1) Shoreline Hanagement Application for Permit, Port of Port Town- send; Hats Hats Bay (dock). Port Commission has withdrawn the application and requests the application fee in the amount of $100 be returned. Assistant Planner advised the application was processed by the Advisory Committee and found lacking an adequate environmental review. It was re- ferred back to the Port for a more detailed report and it was at this point that the project was terminated by the Port. Determination on the returning of the fee delayed until Hay 9th. (2) Art Quigley, owner, Killipie Beach Plat, previously scheduled to appear at 3:00p.m. this afternoon telephoned to request a delay until 3:00p.m. Hay 9th. (3) Planning Director Cunningham and the Board discussed their feel- ings on the business of a potential oil port in the county and the inclusion of an amendment to the county's Comprehensive Plan with a section on major energy facilities. The Board stated they believe there is a definite need to establish a policy including restrictions as soon as possible to protect the area's environment. Cunningham said he would advise the Planning Commission to draft a proposal for the Board's approval. Gus Lindquist appeared to request the Board's approval of the issuance of a Class I liquor license for a jazz concert to be held Hay 13 and 14 at Fort Worden for which the Port Townsend High School Scholarship Foundation is to receive the proceeds. Hoved by Commissioner Brown, seconded by Commissioner O'Heara to sign letter of approval to the Washington State Liquor Board. Unanimous Business from the Assessor's Office: Open Space Applications; "Open Space-Open Space" catagory: Assessor Ingman advised that he has eight applications this year which represent approximately 20 parcels of land within the county that may qualify for this classification. Plann. Dir. Cunningham said that by state statute, the ,VOL 3 PAGE 496 " .~ Hinutes of May 2, 1977 con't. p. 3 .- Planning Commission is obligated to review the applications for conformance with the Comprehensive Plan, and treated as an amendment to the Plan, which includes a public hearing prior to the Board's official action. It was concluded that the Planning Commission will consider the applications during their June 1 meeting and present recommendations for Board's action on June 6. Bill Stratton appearedregaiding his property survey. Stratton said the telephone company has surveyed their property and placed the markers back to the original places they were when he purchased his property. He now requests information as to whether he can use their markers and his stakes, according to his deed, to mark his property lines, of if he has to go to the expense of another survey. Commissioner Brown advised that if the survey he had taken ten years ago was recorded, then it would have precedence over surveys taken after that time. If the surveys differ, the matter would have to be settled in court. Eugene Sprout, P.E., The Pacific Rim Group Inc., appeared along with the Corporation's Financier and Planner re: Thousand Trails Camper Club; Shore- line Management Application for Permit. Planning Director Cunningham prefaced the meeting by reiterating the recommendation for disapproval of permit submitted by the Shoreline Advisory Committee, and explaining their procedure for project evaluation on which they base their findings. Hr. Sprout said the launch and pier were not an initial portion of the overall plan, but an after thought, and were approached from the standpoint that they seemed to have merit. He feels one reason for disapproval by the Committee is due to a paradox in the Shoreline guidelines. He also feels construction of the facilities may have been approved had the camper club not been an integral part of the project. They own a small portion of the beach in the project area and have a lease with the state for the tidelands, but no written approval from the state for construction of the facilities. When the Board spoke to the fact of the unstable water action and how quickly a storm can arise in this area, Sprout said he hadn't thoroughly investigated the tidal and wave action. He requested six months delay in the Board's action on the permit to allow time to research this problem and to determine their ownership on the beach. It was moved by Commissioner Brown, seconded by Commissioner O'Heara to delay action on the application until requested by the applicant to reconsider. Unanimous The public hearing on the Camper Club was set for Thursday, June 9, at 7:30p.m., in the Court Room by motion of Commissioner Brown and second by Commissioner O'Heara. Unanimous Application from the State Liquor Control Board for Class Occasion license for Pope & Talbot, Inc. was approved and of Commissioner O'Meara and second by Commissioner Brown.
