Can't please 'em all! As for how we determined our standard buffers, see Chapter 5 of our Shoreline Inventory & Characterization Report. Not sure it's quite a 'logic tree' analysis, but the technical foundation is described.

VERY GOOD. Without too much trouble --- can you direct me to the logic tree for the marine, lake and stream shoreline buffers in your Draft SMP - Article #6. I would like to use your dimensions, but our literature search and analysis report did not provide that level of detail. So with being a little thin, I was hoping you might have a patch that could help us out. Thanks for the help. Best, Steven Steven W.

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 http://www.co.iefferson.wa.us/commdevelopment/ShorelineSMPformaIReview.htm#Formal Public Review Process 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: 2 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 (Le. 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 (Le. 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).
