See you tomorrow, Patricia ----- Ori inal Message ----- To: Patricia Farmer Sent: Monday, February 02, 2009 4:58 PM Subject: RE: Postcard mailer online Hi Patricia, Glad to help @ As you may soon see in my response(s) to some public comments, both SMP jurisdiction and buffers are measured horizontallv from the ordinary high water line, not up the slope of the bluff face then back from there. Imagine standing at the high tide line with a VERY tall pole, another person atop the bluff would measure on a level plane from the top of that pole. Depending on the angle of the bluff, iSO' from OHWM might end up closer to the edge in some places than in others. Note: The administrator may increase the buffer if/when site-conditions deem it necessary (erosion, flooding, steep slope, etc). See item #10 on page 6-5 and 6-6 of Article 6. Also, the buffer reduction and averaging provisions from the CAO are not applicable when slopes are unstable and gradient is over 30%. (JCC 18.22.270(6) and (7)). At this point we're struggling to process all the comments in time for Wednesday's meeting. We received another ~100 on Friday! Nearly 300 are already available for online viewing through the website. Go to http://www.co.iefferson.wa.us/commdevelopment/ShorelineUpdate2005-9.htm#Public Comments and follow the step by step instructions. You can print any/all comments you want from the Laserfiche system. NOTE: the County's Information Services division was working on fixing some problem with Laserfiche today. It was supposedly working again as of 1:22 pm today... We're providing the comments to Planning Commission digitally to conserve paper, postage and staff time expenses.

If there was to be a landslide, it would be on that bluff. Let's assume that the tip of the bluff is 130' from OHWM, does that mean that someone could build 20' or 30' from that lip? Considering some of the landslides I have seen, that does not seem prudent. I have just reviewed letters 14 -24 that we received as hard copies and found them to be most enlightening. Would it be possible to put the letters in groups of 10s to read online? That way we could print what we considered the most relevant and I would hope it would make life easier for you. Thank you for all the hard efforts that have gone into the SMP and I look forward to your continued input.

I used the Ruler tool (sixth button down on the left) and measured from the shoreline to the nearest corner of your parcel. The measurement shows up at the top of the screen under "Total" as 262.25 FEET. 2 The mailing list we used was compiled from a GIS mapping query of the Assessors records for any/all parcels that intersect/are intersected by a 220' shoreline area. The extra 20' above the 200' SMP jurisdiction is a 'slop factor' used to be sure we didn't miss anyone who's parcel is very close since jurisdiction is based on distance from the Ordinary High Water Mark, which is not mapped but determined on a site-specific basis upon permit review. The result of that database query is attached for your interest. This list was further processed to remove duplicates, ensure changes of address were included, etc. then printed to mailing labels. 3 The comment book continues to grow and we're frantically trying to process the additional "'100 comments that arrived since we finished our work week last Thursday 1/29. We'll hope to be as far along as possible by the time you arrive to review the record.

Did you see Kala Heights addresses on the list? Those would be Kala Pointers who live on the bluff and are concerned about erosion and tree removals. Hope to look at the "letter book" on Tuesday but if I am not able to get into town, it will have to wait until Wednesday. Till then, Patricia Farmer ---~- Original Message ----- ftjltQm: . Michelle McConn.eliJ To: Patricia Farmer Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 20094:27 PM Subject: RE: Postcard mailer online HI Patricia, Sorry for the delayed response. Attached is a JPG version of the postcard that went out to shoreline land owners based on records from the Assessors database. I checked the list and did not see your name. Are you listed as the landowner where you live or perhaps it's under a different name? Turn out at last week's public hearing was voluminous and vociferous! @ About 100 people attended and some 44 provided oral testimony. There were a lot of vehement concerns voiced, many seemingly based on misunderstanding/misinformation or general distrust/antagonism. Also, we do have the binder of public comments that you're (of course) welcome to come in and review. Please note that as of today it's not currently up to date as we've received about 130 written comments since last week's public hearing. We hope to be able to get that done tomorrow. All but "'20 are posted online at http://www.co.iefferson.wa.us/commdevelopment/ShorelineUpdate200S-9.htm#Public Comments if you want to view them there too. We're also preparing a matrix that will summarize comments as organized by topic (Aquaculture, Vegetation Conservation, Buffers, etc) as a tool to help Planning Commission determine their approach to reviewing the PDSMP and to highlight actual substantive changes that might be recommended. We'll provide that to the group next week for the 2/4 meeting. 4 Please let me know if you have more questions, Michelle <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Michelle McConnell, Associate Planner - LRP Lead Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Update Project Manager Direct: 360.379.4484 Web: http://www.co.iefferson.wa.us/commdevelopmentlShorelinePlanning.htm NEW OFFICE HOURS: 9 a - 4:30 p Monday - Thursday; Closed on Friday <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> NOTE: All 8-mail sent to this address will be received by the Jefferson County 8-mail system and are Subject to Public Disclosure under Chapter 42.56 RCW.
