Curt Eastman appeared to speak in behalf of Mrs. Crist. Owners of Lots 1 and 2, Block 7, appeared and spoke in favor of the proposed vacation. Mr. Millman, and an associate of Mr. DeJong's, spoke against vacation. The Planning Commission advised that Lot 2, Block 7, would be landlocked if the full length of the pro- posed road vacation were approved and recommended the vacation of Lots 1-7, Block 10, along with that portion of Tukey Avenue lying south of a line running along the common boundary of Lots 4 and 5, Block 7, to the northeast corner of Lot 3, Block 10; a line commencing from the southern most point of Lot 7, Block 7, to the southeast corner of Lot 7, Block 10, all within Tukey's Addition to Port Townsend.

Unanimous Hearing to be continued on Monday, March 12, 1979, at 2:p.m. Thousand Trails Camper Club: Peter Buck appeared to request that the Engineer's Department be authorized to post "directional" signs for the Camper Club on county sign posts to eliminate confusion for travelers looking for their site. He said their signs are continually being taken down by unknown persons. Also, Thousand Trails would pay the costs of the signs. Les Lambert, President of the Toandos Peninsula Association, said they object to a private commercial enterprise sign being put up on county sign posts, or using county right-of-ways to put up any kind of commercial signs. Said he wouldn't object to someone turning around on his property if they missed the right road. After a lengthly discussion, Commissioner Brown stated he didn't feel the county should put commercial signs on their sign posts, and if the maps that Thousand Trails circulates are explicite, the county road signs should be sufficient. It was moved by Commissioner Brown, seconded by Commissioner Mercer to deny request and that Thousand Trails directional signs be eliminated at the present time. Unanimous. If it is proven in the future that a definite problem exists due to lack of signing, the matter can be reconsidered. Petition for Sewer District: Sam Swanson and Mel Kivley sub- mitted a petition for the formation of a sewer district in the Hadlock/ Irondale area with 55 signatures attached thereto, along with a map out- lining the proposed boundary. They also submitted petitions signed by persons outside the boundaries that are in support of the sewer district. Board advised that the statute requires signatures of 25% of the registered voters in the area. Petitions will be given to the Auditor for validation of the signatures. After certification by the Auditor, the Board will advise Mr. Swanson of the next procedural step. Ten additional persons appeared in support of the proposed district. Mr. & Mrs. Grote reo Proposed Short Plat and R.I.D. #1: They desire to divide their land into two parcels and request a variance from the Board so the land would still be considered as one parcel for R.I.D. assessment purposes. They own the land jointly with another couple and want it divided as soon as possible due to the age and ill health of the other persons. Board advised they would have to discuss the legality of the matter with Pros. Attny. Howard before any action could be taken. Bid Award: For the removal of Timber from County Parks.
