The project is a small, but important part of the Tarboo Watershed Conservation program, a
community conservation effort started in 2001. A major objective ofthis watershed
conservation effort is to protect a riparian and wetland corridor from the headwaters of
Tarboo Creek to Tarboo-Dabob Bay. The proposed project will reduce potential traffic on the
access road across the valley and protect wetland buffers and wildlife corridors.

unique qualities about the site.
There is a high risk. The proposed 10 acres could be clearcut, cleared and two residential sites
constructed. This would destroy older naturally regenerated forest, risk impacting South
Creek that runs through one property, damage a wildlife corridor from the Tarboo valley to
the upland hills, and impact forested wetland buffer. In addition, this would increase traffic
and wildlife disturbance along the access easement road that runs across the Tarboo Wildlife
Preserve. NWI purchased the properties with a loan that needs to be repaid in 2009. Without
funding for conservation, NWI may be forced to re-sale the properties to pay the loan.
20. Describe the physical characteristics of the site that is proposed for acquisition with Conservation
Futures Program funds including: vegetation, topography, surrounding land use, and relationship to
parks, trails, and open space.

None of these proposals includes property located within an urban growth area and the potential loss of
developable parcels is minimal. The Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan identifies goals and policies
for the preservation and enhancement of open space. Open Space Goal (OSG) 1.0 guides Jefferson
County to preserve and enhance the existing open space lands, and Open Space Policy (OSP)1.5
encourages the pursuit of public acquisition of potential parks, critical wildlife areas, and other open
space lands by utilizing a variety of funding mechanisms.
Recommendation:
Based upon the preceding findings, the Department of Community Development believes proposed
acquisitions would not significantly reduce the Jefferson County's capacity to accommodate planned
growth and Jefferson County would retain enough development land to accommodate the housing and
employment growth that it is expected to receive.
Please let me know if you any questions.

Subject: Conservation Futures Projects 2009
Hi Stacie,
The time of year has arrived once again when I write to request a DCD recommendation regarding applications
for funding from the conservation futures program.
Three project applications were submitted to the CF Committee this year. Two of these are outside of the City.of
Port Townsend.
The conservation futures legislation (Chapter 449, Laws of2005) requires that a determination be made as to
whether the implementation of each or both of the projects "would reduce the capacity of land suitable for
development necessary to accommodate the allocated housing and employment growth, as adopted in the
countywide planning policies".
I'm writing to request that DCD recommend a determination to the BoCC for two projects located within the
county and listed below:
1. Brown Dairy Project, $82,500 towards the purchase of a perpetual conservation easement on 50
acres at 9165 Rhody Drive in Chimacum. This sum includes $5,000 in operation and maintenance
costs. Proposed match would be state or federal grants and cash contributions. Jefferson Land
Trust is the applicant and sponsor. Project location: Sec. 14, T. 29N, R. 1 W. Assessors Parcel
Numbers: 901151004,901142047,901142042.
2. Tarboo Wildlife Preserve East Side Addition, $50,000 towards the purchase of a perpetual
conservation easement on 10 acres east of 2151 Dabob Road in the Tarboo Valley north of

JEFFERSON COUNTY
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
Phillip Morley, County Administrator
FROM: Neil Harrington, Water Quality Division Manager
Tami Pokorny, Environmental Health Specialist
DATE: June 8, 2009
SUBJECT: Agenda Request: Public Hearing Regarding
Applications for Conservation Futures Funding in 2009
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
The Conservation Futures Ordinance No. 06-0708-02 requires a duly noticed public
hearing to be held as part of the public process of allocating conservation futures
funding to worthy projects that protect public open spaces. On May 11, 2009 the
BoCC approved a Public Hearing Notice for the Conservation Futures Program project
applications for 2009. The notice was published on May 20 and May 27, 2009. Staff
requests that the BOCC hold a public hearing on June 8, 2009, as scheduled, at
10:15 AM.
ANALYSIS/STRATEGIC GOALS:
Three applications for funding were received in 2009 and a total of $270,000
requested to support open space projects in Jefferson County.
The three applications are:
1. Brown Dairy Project, $82,500 towards the purchase of a perpetual
conservation easement on 50 acres at 9165 Rhody Drive in Chimacum.
This sum includes $5,000 in operation and maintenance costs. Proposed
match would be state or federal grants and cash contributions. Jefferson
Land Trust is the applicant and sponsor. Project location: Sec. 14, T. 29N,
R.1W.

2. 2009 Quimper Wildlife Corridor, $137,500 towards the fee-simple
purchase of 30 lots in the Fowlers Park Addition of the City of Port
Townsend. This sum includes $5,000 in operation and maintenance costs.
Proposed match would be land and cash donations. The City of Port
Townsend is the applicant. Jefferson Land Trust is the sponsor. Project
location: Sec. 33, T. 31N, R. 1W. .
3. Tarboo Wildlife Preserve East Side Addition, $50,000 towards the
purchase of a perpetual conservation easement on 10 acres east of 2151
Dabob Road in the Tarboo Valley north of Quilcene. No operation and
maintenance funds are requested. Proposed match would be a
contribution from Northwest Watershed Institute and a National Coastal
grant. The Northwest Watershed Institute is the applicant. Jefferson Land
Trust is the sponsor. Project location: Sec. 28, T. 28N., R. 1W.
After the Public Hearing, the BOCC may determine which project(s) will be awarded
conservation futures funding in 2009.
When approving any of the projects for funding, a factual finding is necessary in
order to meet the requirements of Chapter 449, Laws of 2005. The BoCC is asked to
consider whether, despite the approved purchases, the County would still retain
enough "developable" land to accommodate the housing and employment growth
that it is expected to receive (Ref D. Alvarez Memo, 08/12/05).
This briefing packet contains:
. Three conservation futures applications and supporting documentation
1). Brown Dairy Project, $82,500
2). 2009 Quimper Wildlife Corridor, $137,500
3). Tarboo Wildlife Preserve East Side Addition, $50,000
. Map of conservation futures projects 2003-2008
. Matrix of conservation futures projects 2003,.2008
. Email from Jefferson County Department of Community Development
regarding the Brown Dairy and Tarboo Wildlife Preserve East Side Addition
Projects
. Letter from the City of Port Townsend regarding the 2009 Quimper Wildlife
Corridor Project
. Draft resolutions for each of the proposed projects with the award amounts
left blank
The purpose of the CF Ordinance is to address the "general and increasing need to
prOVide a system of public open spaces...for the health, welfare, benefit and safety of
the residents of Jefferson County," and to maintain "Jefferson County as a desirable
place to live, visit and locate businesses." Conservation futures tax levy collections,
authorized under RCW 84.34.230 are an important means of retaining community
character and accomplishing open space policies and objectives of the Jefferson County
Comprehensive Plan. The goal of the ordinance is to preserve and protect the county's

open space resources from development, and from being "negatively and permanently
affected. II
On January 3, 2006, the BOCC approved Ordinance No. 01-0103-06 in response to
Chapter 449 of that year which allowed up to 15% of the conservation future levy
monies raised in the preceding year to be used for operations and maintenance.
Operations and maintenance funding may be used for any property acquired with.
conservation futures funds. Chapter 449 also states that local governments must
consider and analyze whether new CF projects would reduce capacity to accommodate
planned growth. In the accompanying correspondence, the Department of Community
Development and the City of Port Townsend recommend that the proposed acquisitions
not be found to reduce the County's capacity to accommodate growth.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The explicit purpose of the Conservation Futures Program is to fund acquisition projects
to support a system of public open spaces. There is no impact to the General Fund for
this effort. The current balance in the Conservation Futures Fund is $730,284.
Subtracting anticipated expenses leaves $275,000 to fund projects in 2009. Of this
amount no more than $36,000 may be allocated to reimburse operations and
maintenance expenses.
RECOMMENDATION:
In accordance with the Conservation Futures Ordinance, and to facilitate a timely public
process, JCPH Management recommends that the BOCC hold a public hearing on June
8, 2009, at 10:15 AM. After the hearing, the BoCC may decide which project(s) to fund
for 2009 and make a factual finding for each project as to whether it would reduce the
County's capacity to accommodate growth.
Draft resolutions accompany this request with the award amounts left blank.
If the BoCC would like to leverage conservation futures funding for the Brown Dairy
Project with matching state funds from the Recreation and Conservation Office
Farmland Program this year, it is necessary make a funding determination for Brown
Dairy today. If a decision is made to award funding, a letter to that effect will be
presented to the BoCC for signature later in the morning.
