Subject: S.M.P. Comment
I'm making the following comments regarding the proposed S.M.P.
1. I agree with the Planning Commission's decision to reduce the shoreline setback
requirements. The shoreline setback requirements now in effect are adequate and
reasonable.
2. After reading the draft of the proposed S.M.P. I can find no science to back up many of
the environmental and / or use restrictions the proposed S.M.P. places on the shoreline
property owners. The current shoreline plan is more than adequate.
3. Jefferson County has already foolishly spent many hundreds of thousand tax payer
dollars on a draft S.M.P. that is excessively restrictive on shoreline property owners.
The
current S.M.P. needs only minor updates to meet the State requirements. Please stop
wasting our tax dollars on this when there are so many other project in Jefferson
County that could use these funds.
4. If the proposed draft S.M.P. is enacted I'm sure Jefferson County will spend hundreds
of thousands or perhaps millions of dollars defending the S.M.P. in the courts and
Jefferson County will most likely end up paying the shore line property owners
millions for the loss of use of their properties.
Jefferson County Planning Commission and
Jefferson County Commissioners please use our tax payer dollars wisely on projects
and departments that will benefit all of the citizens of Jefferson County.
5. Shoreline business's and marine business's in Jefferson county are already in dire
straits with the current economy. Placing additional burdens and restrictions on them will
only drive them from Jefferson County. Jefferson County needs to be an attractive
place to operate a business. That is how Jefferson County's economy can grow, business
will die with excessive and unneeded restrictions.
Sincerely
Karl Jacobsen
Jefferson County Shoreline Property Owner
