Subject: shoreline proposals
I object to the 160 foot set back for properties that border the shoreline. The big money people with
acreages on the shoreline are not affected as much as the people with smaller properties. If your property
is only 200 feet deep, that only leaves you 40 feet to build on at the rear of your property. If this is the
case the county should not be taxing these people for water front property. I have property on Griffith's
point on Marrowstone Island. 85% of the lots are already built on within 50 feet or less of the shoreline.
Thus you are penalizing the 15% who have left their lots in a natural state. With your proposals are you
going to force the remaining 15% to develop their property now before your discriminative laws take
effect? I come from a pioneering family on the island and agree with laws to protect the environment,
but since when does 160 feet become the magic number? Where are all the johnny come lately"s who
opposed supplying the island with fresh water, etc? According to the PUD many were the first to sign up
for water. The elected officals will be held accountable for their decisions. Is this county for the people
who own property here and pay their taxes or the politicians? This should be on the ballot and not left up
to some paper pushers in Olympia and the Jefferson County political heirarchy. LeRoy Nordby, MD
