Fred Williams appeared regarding Triton Cove Estates, Williams
and Marshall Additions. Mr. Williams brought in a letter from Mr. A. Brian
Egan to the Triton Cove Estates residents outlining Mr. Calvin Ray's suggested
exchange for the County obtaining the rights-of-way for 2 roacs running
across Egan's land. The Board wrote a letter to Mr. Egan stating they have
no objections to his pursuit of having these portions of "Forest Drive"
crossing his property and becoming county roads.
Chuck MacClearnsberry, consulting engineer for the Quilcene
Mobile Home Park proposed by Theresa Morrison, appeared regarding the pre-
liminary plan. Last weeks meeting the Board delayed action on the final
site plan because they wanted more information inregards to fire protection.
Mr. MacClearnsberry talked with Fire Commissioner Julian(Sandy)Oen who gave
him the specifics on the equipment the Quilcene fire department has. Between
the units of the Quilcene fire department and the forest service, Mr. Oen
feels that they can handle any fire situation. Commissioner Brown moved to
give approval to the preliminary plan with the conditions recommended by the
Planning Commission. Commissioner Mercer seconded the motion. Unanimous.
John Lea and his attorney Harry Holloway III appeared regarding
an accident Mr. Lea's son had last week. His son, while driving a car, ran
into the back of the County grader brushing gravel from the road. The boy
was driving about 40-45 mph and was not able to see the grader through the
dust it was causing. He had just previously passed a car going the other
direction and he assumed the dust created was from that vehicle. Mr. Lea
said that after he measured the skid marks it appeared that the boy had only
20 feet of warning. The next day the County had a warning truck following
the grader doing the sweeping. Mr. Lea said his main concern is to see that
the County alleviates this potential danger. Mr. Lea would like to see the
County resurface the road. Walley Bowman, Road Superintendent, told Mrs.
Lea that the reason they did not have a warning vehicle was because there
was alot of the employees working in Brinnon and the crew was shorthanded.
