Bragg MINUTES April 3, 1978 10:00 a.m. Chairman Mercer called the meeting to order with all members present. BUSINESS FROM COUNTY DEPARTMENTS: Planning re 1) SEPA Threshold Determination; Shoreline Management Application of Horace Eveland #9-78. The project includes bulkheading, landfill and grading of platted property to prepare for residential use. Bulkhead approximately 600 lineal feet of waterfront. Landfill low areas of four lots. Joe Daniels, neighboring property owner, appeared and submitted a letter to the Board regarding the Evelund project. Daniels stated that the survey marked at the time of the Planning Department's site evaluation was off. This survey has now been corrected by surveyor, Elmer Anderson and puts the county right-of-way 13 feet into the filled area. Planner Tom Aumock gave a report of his site evalua- tion and showed slides of the project. Evelund had been advised of permit requirements yet he went ahead and began grading and landfill. He has now stopped work on the advice of the Planning Depart- ment until a shoreline permit can be obtained. Aumock reported that Evelund made application for a shoreline permit. Therefore, the Board reviewed the environmental checklist with Aumock. The Planning Department has determined that the project is wetland and therefore subject to a Corps permit as well as a shoreline permit, and a variance because the fill is on wetlands. Evelund has been advised to apply for a Corps permit. Chairman Mercer stated the fill should be moved back. Aumock stated a full report will be given to the Prosecuting Attorney. The County has enforcement rights under the Shoreline Management Act. The Board made 8 changes in the check- list. The checklist will be returned to Evelund so he can address the changes and the Board will review it again next week. 2) SEPA Threshold Determination; Final Declaration of Non- Significance: Shoreline Management Permit Applications: a) Sea Farms, Inc. #7-78 to convert temporary facility to a permanent facility for oyster and clam hatchery on existing barge; together with seawater intake and discharge line, and extend existing pier 50 feet to align with barge length; and rock riprap barge on 3 sides. The project is located south of Doce- wallips River. Aumock reported that the Board reviewed the environmental checklist March 14, 1978 and issued a proposed declaration of non-significance.
