funding priorities between the projects of all the participating Counties.
Commissioner Austin:
Many residents in Gardiner support a left-hand turn lane on Highway I Olat the entrance to the R.Y.
park, and there have been some complaints by Gardiner residents regarding the noise caused by the
rumble strips along Highway 101.

Presentation re: 20/0 Conservation Futures Funding Projects: Environmental Hcalth
Specialist II Tami Pokorny reviewed 2 proposed projects recommended for Conservation Futures funding in
20 I 0 by thc Conservation Futures Advisory Committee.
1) Salmon Crcek Riparian Acquistion: The total funding amount requested for this project is $63,394
that will go toward the permancnt protection of 160 acres of vacant land located ofT of Wcst Uncas
Road near thc head of Discovery Bay. The proposed match funding would bc up to $359,231 in
Salmon Recovery Funding Board grant funds through the Washington Recreation and Conservation
Otlice previously awarded to the project. Jefferson Land Trust is the sponsor of this project.

\~~~?:Y'
2) Tamanowas Rock and Nicholson Short Plat: The total funding amount requested for this project is
$200,000 over two years (2010 and 2011) that will go toward the permanent protection of 129 acres
of vacant land located near Anderson Lake State Park. The proposed match would be a combination
of federal, state and/or foundation grants and community contributions. Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe
and Washington State Parks are project applicants. Jefferson Land Trust is the sponsor of this
project.
The total amount requested for these projects is $263,394. There is $161,000 of Conservation Futures
funding available for projects in 2010. Funds available in 2011 are anticipated to be well in excess of the
S100,000 requested for 2011 by the Tamanowas Rock and Nicholson Short Plat project applicants.
Conservation Futures Advisory Committee Vice-Chairman Fred Weinmann reviewed the Committee's letter
regarding their recommendation. The Committee conducted a thorough review of the projects, ranked the
projects and voted unanimously to fund the projects as requested. He added that there is a high level of
interest in the future use and public access to Tamanowas Rock. Paramount among these interests is the
sacred nature of the rock as a part of the tradition of the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe. Over the years many
different user groups have visited the rock for a variety ofrcasons. There also exists a plat which includes
the rock. The majority of the Committee members feel it is important that all parties with a legitimate
interest be invited to participate in a planning process for management of the rock area. Funding this project
will be the impetus for the planning process to happen.
Chaim1an Sullivan asked if obligating 2011 Conservation Futures funds at this time will affect the ability to
fund projects next year? Mr. Weinmarm replied that the Committee anticipates there will be funding
available in 2011 that is in excess of the amount being requested for obligation at this time and that the
obligation of this funding will not preclude the Committee from accepting additional applications next year.
Conservation Futures Advisory Board member Barbara McColgan added that the Committee felt that the
importance of this project warranted the obligation 01'2011 funding. Ohligating the funds this year \vill also
save the Committee time because it would not have to review the same application next year.
HEARING re: 2010 Conservation Futures Funding Projects; Salmon Creek Riparian
Acquisition; and Tamanowas Rock and Nicholson Short Plat: Chairman Sullivan opened the hearing for
public testimony.
Ravmond Hunter, Port Townsend, stated that he has resided near Salmon Creek since June 1946. TIe
doesn't care who owns the land at this time, but he prefers it not be private. He doesn't want to see people
putting in trailer courts and building homes and disturbing the serenity of the valley. It is a pristine area and
we want to keep it that way. He supports the Salmon Creek project to acquire the land. The improvements
done by the Salmon Coalition over the last few years is stupendous. It is wonderful to see what they have
done and he would like to see them continue their efforts. His main concern is with the stewardship of the
property. People used to hunt and fish in the area before it was closed it for fishing in the 1950's. When this
property is acquired he would like to see it continue to be open for public use sueh as hunting during regular
seasons. He would like to see the ereek opened up for trout fishing. He added that the hay on the property
needs to be continuously mowed to mitigate the noxious weeds.

"Cartin Melish, Port Townsend, stated that he generally supports the Tamanowas Rock project and having it
in public stewardship. In response to Mr. Weinmann's remarks, he is concerned that money is being
irrevocably committed before access issues have been worked out. Until we know what public access we
have to this land, we really don't know what we are buying for $200,000. The tribes have legitimate
concerns about access and they have beliefs of sacred stories around the rock, but, there has been no meeting
determinc what access the people of .I efferson County will have. I lis taxes have doubled in the past couple
of years and he has not secn any benefit from it. As a taxpayer he is very concerned about careful
stewardship of our public money. lIe wants to know if people will have the same access to the rock as they
have right now which is unrestricted, or will access be restricted in some way? If restricted, will the
rcstrictions bc so onerous that it will not be worth it and the people ofJefferson County will not get the
value for their money. We don't know the answcr to these questions until discussions on this issue have
been initiated. He knows the tribe has concerns about access. The tribes are putting in money and hope to
raise more money for the purchase. The requested amount of $200,000 will not buy this property alone. In
his opinion, the property has been over appraised at $1.2 Y1illion. lIe feels $500,000 is a more reasonable
value. Jefferson County should detennine the level of public access that is expected in return for the
$200,000 which would make it a more meaningful negotiation. Your money buys you the most before you
spend it. This issue needs to be addressed before the fund are committed.
Barbara "rcColgan, Port Townsend, stated she is a member of the Conservation Futures Advisory Board. If
the Board approves the $200,000 commitment now, it will take awhile before those funds arc actually
disbursed. She believes there is a process in place for the disbursement of those funds. It's not as if once
these funds are committed then we havc no bargaining chip. Discussions about access can begin now, but,
funding may not be disbursed until a latcr time.
Tami Pokornv. Environmental Health Specialist II, cxplained that the Tamanowas property value is
approximately $600,000, not S l.2 Million. A stcwardship plan must be in placc prior to tunding being
disbursed. How the land will be owned and what casements will be in place will need to be determined
befi)fe a stewardship plan can be formulated. There will also be input regarding access and appropriate uses.
Sarah Spaeth, Jefferson Land Trust (JLT), stated that JLT is trying to balance the interests of many user
groups with regard to Tamanowas rock. Currently, a JL T subsidiary organization owns the property.
Previously the property was privately mvned and yet there was a great deal of public use of the property.
That previous land owner could have at any point denied any sort of use of the property. At this point what
we're trying to do is come up with a balance of uses that minimize the detrimental impacts to the property
and also enhance the positive things about it That it going to rcquire a lot of discussions with our tribal
partners, trails coalitions, Shcrifrs Department and thc Native Plants Society. There are multiple interested
parties that need to be heard and have a say in the long term vision of this property. Currently, the
Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe has an option to acquire thc property from JLT within a couple of years. JLT is
very cognizant that the Tribe also has a vast interest in the property. With phase I of this project the County
had a management plan requirement and has already approved funding for this project with the management
plan in place. She believes that the management plan for phase II will be vcry similar to and buill upon the
previous plan. JLT is planning on convening a meeting with all the partners that will take plaec this snmmcr
and will probably be open to the public in order to makc sure that all voices are heard as thcse discussions
move forward.

Leo Gaten, Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe, stated that some ofthcir tribal staff has been dedicated to this
planning effort. He is present on behalf of Ron Allen who could not be hcrc today but wanted the Board to
know that he is actively working with Congrcssman 1\0nn Dicks' ofnce and with the Dcpartment thc
Intcrior on gctting some additional funding for this project. The tribe recently prepared a mcmo and
submitted it to the Department ofInterior to request funding for this project through the 'Treasured Sites"
initiative. The tribe does not support climbing on thc rock. They would like to shift the climbing to another
rock, referred to as a "Sistcr Rock", that they understand is inside the State Park. They think the State Parks
might agree to do something like that. He notcd that the Port Gamble Tribc is also involved and he has scnt
applications to approximately 6 tribes in Washington, Many tribes that have casinos have a special fund for
community projccts.
Commissioner Austin askcd Mr. Gatcn if the tribcs have plans to work with the Parks Commission to
encourage that agency to participatc? Mr. Gatcn replied that Mr. Allen was going to speak with the
Governor directly at another meeting, but, the format of the meeting did not allow for discussion of speciJic
projects. They are still working on that effort.
Martin Melish, Port Townsend, stated that therc is no comparable rock in the park to move the climbing. He
is very familiar with the park and surrounding area and thcre is only Tamanowas rock. Nothing else is even
lO fcct high, so that is not an option, During Ms. Spacth's comments shc stated that she is going to get all
the players involved and probably invite the public as well. Hc fcels the Land Trust and the Conscrvation
Futures Advisory Committce have a ccrtain attitudc. This is public money. The public is a player. It is not
an option to invite thc public and consider thc public's legitimatc or illegitimate access issues. lIe ran into
this same issue during a meeting of the Conservation Futures Advisory Committee where hc asked to givc
public input and was told that thcy were going to take the votc first and then takc public input. It took him
quite a while to convince them that if you're a body that spends public money, you need to at least go
through a show of pretcnding the public commentary might actually inf1uence your votc. It will be
absolutely indispensable to open the meeting to the public and hear the vicws of all recreational users. If the
tribe wants Jefferson County funding, thcn they are going to have to accept that the citizens of Jefferson
County arc going to gct something out of this. Ifthc tribes can buy it on their own, then it will be their land
and they can do what they likc with it.
Barbara McColgan, Port Townscnd, explaincd that the Conservation futures Advisory Board's funding
cyclc begins in January. Thc public meetings are advertiscd. As part of the delibcration process thc
Committee advertises and holds a public meeting whcre the applicants for funding come to make
presentations. At that timc the Board mcmbers and the public are free to ask qucstions regarding the
projects. This year the project prcscntation mecting occurred in March. There is also opportunity for public
input during the publicly advertiscd site visits which encourages public participation, so that by the time the
Committee gets to the final rating meeting there is a lot of water under the bridge. Thcre is also time
established fiJr the public to submit \vritten comments as well. With all due rcspect to Mr. Melish, they were
glad to see him at the meeting, but, it was very much at the eleventh hour. She doesn't want to leave any
imprcssion that therc wasn't a chance for the public to make their commcnts or to ask their questions and be
on the record bcfore a vote was taken. It was rather the oppositc.

Fred Weinmann, Port Townsend, stated that he leads natural history trips to that area several times a year.
The natural history of the site is not being well served by unrestricted access. Some kind of preservation
plan could be a vast improvement in terms of the natural history oftbat area if we can follow througb on tbis
proj eet and get to that point.
Kick HilL Port Townsend, stated tbat be is a private citizen tbat contributed money to the Land Trust. He
has no interest in the rock other than what he has begun to learn about it and its history in this place. Not
only the history of the people, but, the history of the natural surroundings. When he arri ved here six years
ago his son took him directly to that rock where he helped his son propel down trom his climb which he did
not enjoy very much. Since that timc he has learned increasingly of the value of that property for all the
people of our area and especially for the tribes. It is his persona] belief that tbis is a sacred place. I Ie
personally supports this proposal and believes there should be public comment and public participation in
the use of the space. He has developed an intcrest in an environmental game callcd "Tracking the Dragon"
which is rooted at Tamanowas Rock. As he learns more about this game and more about the place where we
live and the value of such places, he can't help but say there are other rocks to climb. TIe docsn't have any
feeling for rock climbers, but he does have a feeling for this place in our community.
Ravmond Hunter, Port Townsend, asked ifit is the intent of the tribe to evcntually obtain ownership of the
Tucker donation claim or the property on Salmon Creek that is the subject of this meeting? Mr. Gaten, of
the Jamestown S'Kallam Tribe stated that he is not aware of the Tribes intcrest in that property.
John Wood. Port Townsend, stated that he has been involved in thc Tamanowas Rock project for a very long
time. This property has bcen in private ownership for quite a while. Everyone who has climbed out there
has been able to climb bccause the property owner has not objected. Had this property been sold to a private
developer there is a very good chance there would be no climbing at all. The only reason the public has
open access to the site now is because the property owner has not done anything to prevent it. In
investigating this issue he went to the Jefferson County Historical Society and found some oral history about
Tamanowas Rock by some non-native people. The oral history tclls of eonllicts between local tribes and
that the remaining people ofthe Chimacum Tribe went to the top of Tamanowas Rock and jumped to their
deaths rather than surrender to another Tribe. When he read this it felt chilling. His reaction is that
Tamanowas Rock is somewhat like Gettysburg. There was something that took place there that was quite
powerful. The rock should not be climbed because of what took place there.
Tom Thiersch, Port Townsend, stated that he recognizes that the County Code includes the Conservation
Futures fund and the tax set aside for those purposes. What the members of the Conservation Futures
Advisory Committee have chosen to do with the available funds is up to them. This is probably a perfectly
legitimate use for the funds. The one concern he docs have is the repeated mention of the word "sacred"
with respect to this particular public asset or proposed public asset. He would object strenuously to the
inclusion of any religious significance whatsoever to the operating use or terms of use of this property or any
such restrictions based on religion. No offense is intended to the tribes, but he feels it would be violation of
his first amendment rights and the first amendment rights of everyone c1se in this County. As the County
moves forward with developing the use restrictions on this property, he strongly urges the Board to keep that
particular aspect in mind.

carried by a unanimous vote.
Discussion and Possible Approval re: Unified Development Code (UDC) Text Amendment
to Allow Underground Storage Tanks Containing Hazardous Substances within Critical Aquifer
Recharge Areas: Associate Planner David W. Johnson presented the Planning Commission's
recommendation and stafTreports for Unified Development Codc (liDC) text amendment #MLA09-00378.
He explaincd that the Department or Community Development (DCD) met last fall with representatives of
Quality Food Center (QFC) to discuss a proposal to install a gas station at thc QFC in Port Hadlock. One of
the issues discussed is the fact that QFC is currently located in a critical aquifer recharge arca and the CDC
regulations prohibit the siting of underground petrolewn tanks in critical aquifcr recharge areas.
Subsequently, QFC applied few a UDC text amendment #MLA09-00378 to revise the Jefferson County Code
(JCC) 18.22.120(1)(1) based upon recent improvements in technology, equipment, training and best
management practices that rcduce the risk of contamination.
On February 8, 2010 the Board of Commissioners directed DCD stafTto place the proposed UDC text
amendment on the 2010 Planning Commission Work Plan. The application was presentcd to the Planning
Commission on April 7, 2010 and a public hearing was held by the Planning Commission on April 21, 20 I O.
Deliberations began on May 5, 2010 and werc continued on May 19, 2010 when a final decision was made
to recommend approval ofthe application.
If the proposed text is approved it will apply to every critical aquifer recharge area in the cntire County. The
State Department of Ecology (DOE) has ultimate jurisdiction over all underground storage tanks. Included
as an addendum to the staff report is a comment letter from the DOE that talks about the State's standards
and requirements for installation of underground storage tanks. County regulations can be more restrictive
than the Statc's regulations, but not less restrictive. Thc most important issue is protecting the aquifer. StafT
believes that the protection standards outlined in JCC 18.22 and as proposed, will give that protection. In
addition to requiring a critical aquifer recharge report, tertiary containment and project level SEPA review, a
conditional discretionary use permit will bc required which offcrs another level of review.

The requcsted action ofthc Board is to decidc to adopt thc Planning Commission's recommendation to
approve MLA09-00378 as prescntcd, or decide not to accept the recommendation and hold a public hearing
before making a final decision to either approve the application, approve the application with conditions or
deny the application. Staff recommends the Board accept the Planning Commission's recommendation.
Commissioner Austin moved to accept the Planning Commission's recommendation to amend .TCC
19.22.120 and 130 as submitted and direct staff to draft an adopting ordinance for the Board's review,
approval and signing after issuance of the final SEPA detem1ination. COnm1issioncr Johnson seconded the
motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
Di.5cussion and Possible Approval re: Jefferson County Equestrian Events Center and
Park License and Operating Agreement: County Administrator Philip Morley reviewed the proposed
license and operating agreement between Jefferson County and Jefferson Equestrian Association for the
Jellerson County Equestrian Events Center and Park. This agreement will create an improved public park
utilizing private funding and without the County incurring ongoing maintenance responsibility or costs.
Essentially it creates a public asset without using public funding. The park v,,111 afford an opportunity for
enhanced recreation opportunities for youth and potential therapeutic programs lor children with special
needs. It will also create a destination equestrian events center that will promote tourism and increase
economic opportunities for Jefferson County by bringing in revenue. Referenced in the agreement is a
separate timber management plan that will improve timber management to bring long term sustained
revenue to the County. For these reasons he recommends the Commissioners approve the agreement.
Important to note is that any development at this park will be subject to a conditional use permit which
requires a public hearing where citizens concerns can be addressed.
Commissioner Austin moved to approve the proposed Jefferson County Equestrian Events Center and Park
license and operating agreement with Jef1erson Equestrian Association. Commissioner Johnson seconded
the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
