Brown, Chairman Carroll M. Mercer, Member Clerk of the Board: Engineer: Jerdine C. Bragg Milt Sanstrom, P.E. M I NUT E S -------------------------------------------------------------------- Week of November 23, 1981 Chairman B.G. Brown called the meeting to order at 10:00 a.m. Commissioner Mercer was out of town. Approval of Minutes: Commissioner O'Meara moved to approve and sign the minutes tor the week of November 16, 1981 as presented. Commissioner Brown seconded the motion. Discovery Bay Lodge Condominiums: Louie Torres appeared before the Board to request their direction on acquiring a building permit for the first 7 units of the 52 planned for this site. The building plans have been approved and the State has approved the utility systems plans, with the stipulation that there ml1st be a DOE approved sewer system management plan before the sewer system is used. The District Sanitarian has indicated that this plan must be approved before he will sign the building permit. Since the owners are in the process of working out the plan with the PUD, which will take another 60 to 90 days, and are anxious to begin construction, Mr. Torres asked DOE for an interpretation of the sewer management plan provision, and reported to the Board that DOE does not require that the plan be approved prior to construction but will require an approved plan prior to occupation or use of the units. Mr. Torres requested that the Board allow Mr. Durant, the District Sanitarian, to approve the issuance of a building permit with the stipulation that the buildings will not be used until the sewer management plan has been approved. Chairman Brown stated that he believed Mr. Durant is correctly inter- preting County policy, but that the Board will discuss the situation with him, the Health Officer, Dr. Fischnaller, and the Prosecuting Attorney and will let Mr. Torres know if any deviation from the policy will be permitted. Hearing; Bud et Apppropriation, Historical Society: The hearing was opene y a~rman rown; no one appeare to speak for or against the appropriation. Therefore, the hearing was closed and Commissioner O'Meara moved to approve and sign Resolution No. 136-81 appropriating $270.00 for longevity pay. Commissioner Brown seconded the motion. Subdivision Ordinance Inquiry & Water/Sewer Problems: Stan Johnston met with the Board to discuss two concerns: lJCurrently, when property is short platted, it is necessary for all parties with an underlying interest to sign the short plat. In cases where the property has been sold on contract more than once and the contracts are still in the process of being paid off and/or in cases where several individuals have a joint underlying contract, this means obtaining many signatures on the short plat, often from people who are no longer in the area and to whom it is difficult to explain, by mail, exactly what their signature on the short plat means. He feels this creates unnecessary complications and work in processing a short plat. Chairman Brown stated that all those having an underlying con- tract should be notified of any short plat of the property and have the right of approval, since if there is a default in contract(sJ, the property may revert to them, and this is a reasonable stipulation. Dave Goldsmith, Planning Director, stated that this requirement is by State statute, as well as by County ordinance, but that the legislature [VOl 7 f~,G: . 0,::'326 . . -1:"""" Minutes, Week of November 23, 1981 Page 2 has approved obtaining the signatures of persons with an underlying interest on a separate instrument for attachment to the short plat. 2)Mr. Johnston also related his frustration with what he feels are inconsistencies in the site evaluations and sewage permit approvals by the Health Department. He cited a recent instance in which, after some ambivalence, the site evaluator did not give approval of the soils, but in which other presumably knowledgeable individuals felt the soil was adequate for septic systems. In another instance, the State has stated a specific water system does not require an engineer but the Health Department states an engineer must be involved in the design. This problem relates to review of Class IV systems. The Board requested that Mr. Johnston provide all the details in writing and they will check with the Health Department. Chairman Brown also noted that, in the water system problem, it appears that the State approved the plan but has not approved the system as built, which may be what the Health Department needs. The Board also instructed Mr. Johnston that these matters could be expedited by taking them to the Health Board meeting. Jail Site Selection Letters: The Chairman signed, on behalf of the Board, letters ot appreciation to the Technical Committee mem- bers. In addition, he signed a letter to Johnston/Hunt/Roline-Hewitt/ Daly advising that the Hadlock site had been selected and a letter to the State Jail Commission stating that the selection of an engineering/ architectural firm had been made on August 24, 1981. Labor Agreements: A letter was sent to the Teamsters Local #589 requesting reopening of the agreements for the Sheriff's and Pub- lic Works Departments for the purpose of discussing the C.P.I. due employees on January 1, 1982. IFMS Contract Extension Request: A letter was sent to Omega Systems requesting an extension ot the current contract and an esti- mate of cost and outline of work which would be performed in order to cover future use of the Central Services computer by Public Works. Liquor License Transfer, Center Valley Store: Don Post is trying to expedite the purchase ot this store and asked the Board to send a letter of approval of the transfer to the Liquor Control Board. The Commissioners stated they will write such a letter if the Health Department gives approval. Kala Point Survey Map and Agreement: William Lindem'l.T1 DJ:'e- sented an agreement regarding the detinition of land use areas in' the Kala Point Development and, following discussion, Commissioner O'Meara made a motion to approve and sign the agreement, which Commissioner Brown seconded. Mr. Lindeman will have the agreement recorded. Third Street, Irving Park Addition: Roger Katz presented a petition from residents on this road requesting that this platted street be accepted as a County road and improved. He informed the Board that the residents are not financially able to bring the road up to standard for County acceptance, as is the usual procedure, but the road is very bad and he requested the County's help in improving the road in a cooperative arrangement. The property owners are willing to clear timber, etc., if the County will crown the road and provide some fill and gravel. Chairman Brown explained the reasons for requiring property owners to bring a road up to standard through an R.I.D., but the Board did agree to inspect the area to see if any other option might be considered. The meeting was recessed, and reconvened on Tuesday, November 24, 1981, to continue regular business in the absence of Commissioner Mercer.
