Resolution No. 48-77 was approved and signed by the Board. Mr. Bill Lawn appeared before the Board to discuss the water situation for his two lots in Hadlock. He was denied a tap by the city of Port Townsend until after a class action suit in September. He felt this action was discriminatory since a real estate firm was just given a hook-up near his lots. The Board advised Mr. Lawn that the Tri-Cities water system is outside of their jurisdiction but they would discuss it with the city. Mrs. Marieta Streit appeared on behalf of denial of the Open Space Application by John L. pitts. The intent was to have the land classified as timber, but it was judged to be open open space. The former Assessor Hansen had said part of the land was cleared making it less than the 20 acres required for timber classification. The cleared area has been replanted and therefore would comply with timber classification. The Assessor will make the necessary adjustments. Frank Vane re: Sewer Study petition for Ocean Grove Lot Owners Association. Mr. Vane appeared to submit 66 signed requests from property owners in the Ocean Grove Community asking the Board to undertake and develop a plan for sewage disposal to serve their properties. Also, Ocean Groves wishes to become annexed to the Cape George facility once it is established. Planning Director Dave Cunningham reported that there's an excellent draft of a proposal to transport sewage to the Port Townsend treatment plant. The next step is for the Commissioners to negotiate with the city. The Board pointed out that because of the water problem out there they didn't think state funds could be used for the sewage disposal plan. The Board plans to follow-up on this.
