Hi all,
WEB EDITS
Also want to let you know additional edits have been made to the webpage. The Formal Public Review
Process section (including public comments) has been made into a separate subpage to the Shoreline
Update page since it continues to grow with weekly Planning Commission meetings. The SMP Formal
Review page is online at
http://www.co.jefferson.wa.us/commdevelopment/ShorelineSMPformaIReview.htm.
In addition, materials from last week's PC meeting and Monday's briefing to the County Commissioners
have been posted at

MYTH BUSTERS
Also, the Peninsula Daily News ran a story yesterday about Monday's BoCC briefing
(http://www.peninsuladailynews.com/article/20090224/news/302249989 ) that does a good job of
providing information about the project, but begs a few points of clarification:
1. Consultants - We have worked long and hard WITH our consultants and for public involvement. Our lead
consultant from ESA Adolfson was present and helped us brief the BoCC on Monday. Involvement of our
consultants (ESA Adolfson and Battelle Marine Sciences Laboratory) has been critical to the project.
2. Non-conforming Development - Single family residential non-conforming development can rebuild in
same location/configuration after fire/flood damage when damage is less than 75%. as well as those with
more than 75% damage. The differences are that other types of non-conforming development (i.e.
commercial, industrial, etc) must relocate a rebuild when damage is over 75%, unless they get a
Shoreline Variance to rebuild to previously existing location/configuration. See page 10-6 of PDSMP
Article 10.
3. Natural Shoreline Designation - The 4th 'Myth Buster' was overly generalized in the PDN article. My point
was that the Natural shoreline environment designation (SED) is not applied too broadly since it's applied
as defined by the purpose statement and designation criteria described in PDSMP Article 4, based on the
findings of our Shoreline Inventory scientific review, and as consistent with State requirements (WAC 173-
26-211) The other point I made on Monday is that while the existing Natural SED applies to "'10% of
shorelines today, and the PDSMP proposes to designate "'41 % as Natural, an important difference to note
is that the existing SMP prohibits single family residential development along Natural shorelines, while the
PDSMP proposes allowing it with a Conditional Use Permit. See page 26 of PDSMP Article 8.
We are working on more extensive informational materials (i.e. FAQ sheet) and will distribute to this list
when ready.
