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.iefferson.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.peninsuladailvnews.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 morethan 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.
ONLINE POLL
Finally, this week's Leader online poll is regarding the mining related marine transport facility legislation
mentioned in my previous message (HB 1970 & SB 5836). Take the poll online at http://www.ptleader.com/
All for now,
Michelle
