Minutes of August l4, 1978 Paqe 3 Thousand Trails, Decision on Building Permit Application. Planner Dave Goldsmith gave a brief review of actions to date. 69 conditions have been proposed to mitigate the impacts of the application for 252 Thousand Trails camp sites by Pacific Rim Group. Peter Buck, Attorney for Pacific Rim, gave a dissertation on why the project should be approved. He stated that they figure 3.5 to 4 persons per site is average for heavy weekends. Phil Best, Attorney for Toandos Peninsula Association, stated that approval of the camper club would be against the community development plan for that area. He felt there would be adverse impacts to the tide- lands, fire danger, law enforcement, traffic, water supply, noise and smoke pollution, social and economic impact. He suggested the County do a fiscal analysis of the economic impact. Commissioner Brown is in favor of reducing the number of sites from 252 to 150 to resolve traffic and law enforcement problems during peak periods. Buck replied that if the number of sites are cut it might make the project too expensive. Best suggested bonding as a means to enforce the conditions. Prosecutor Howard said there should be no probelm enforcing the conditions as long as they are clearly stated. Attorney Buck felt the conditions are precise. Mr. Mayer, Vice President of Toandos peninsula Association spoke on behalf of the property owners stating that no one living in that area is in favor of the camper club. Mrs. Les Lambert, property owner, asked why the hunting stipulation was removed. Chairman Mercer explained that it is not appropriate for the County to restrict a person from the campsite to hunt on ground that is available to hunting. Buck reported that Pacific Rim has not a definite number of sites planned nor a definite number of members. Randy Durant, Jefferson County Health Sanitarian, reported that water and sewer has been approved subject to some conditions. Now that the proposal is for less sites, it's even more acceptable. There's really only one area that is suitable for sewage disposal on that property site making the site unacceptable for another type of development such as dividing into lots. Mr. Best would like time to review the conditions. Prosecutor Howard advised the Board to make a motion and still allow time for a review of the conditions for purposes of clarifying. Motion by Commissioner O'Meara to allow the development with 69 conditions with the understanding that the conditions have just been given to Mr. Best, Attorney for Toandos Association, and he'll be reviewing them. There may be some modification in the language of the conditions but basically they'll follow the format presented today. Seconded by Commissioner Brown. Prosecutor Howard would like Mr. Best to have the conditions back before Monday, August 21. Chairman Mercer made it unanimous. He feels it has to be an effort of the entire Board in order to do a proper job. Chairman Mercer stated that a motion has been made and approved to allow a building permit with 69 conditions. The wording of the conditions will be gone over by Attorney Best for clarification. A formal motion will be written and signed on August 21, 1978. Approval of Minutes: The Board approved the minutes of August 7, 1978. The Board approved the July bills to be paid in August.
