The Board of Island County Commissioners met in Special Session on February 1, 1999, at 3:00 p.m. at Terry’s Corner Fire Station, 525 E. North Camano Drive, Camano Island, WA. Chairman Mike Shelton, and Member Bill Thorn, were present. Wm. L. McDowell, Member, was absent, in order to attend the I-COM meeting in Oak Harbor at 3:00 p.m. representing Island County. Also present were Joe Araucto, Island County Traffic Engineer, and Rich Murphy, I-COM Address Data Coordinator. Nine citizens were present.

Chairman Shelton opened a Public Hearing to consider Ordinance #C-175-98 (R-66-98) to reduce the speed limit on Good Road south of SR 532 and Heichel Road north of SR 532 from 50 mph to 25 mph.

Joe Araucto explained the portion of Good Road considered was south of SR 532 adjacent to Camano Body Shop and Heichel Road was north of SR 532 and both were dead-end County roads with a default speed limit of 50 mph.

Dodie Fox, Fox Farm Bed and Breakfast, 920 N.Heichel Road, supported the speed limit reduction to 25 mph because of safety for kids, residential roads, and animals on roads.

Commissioner Thorn read the following letter into the record from Martha L. Young, 1433 Arrowhead Road, Camano Island, dated February 1, 1999, who was under the impression the proposed ordinance affected Good Road north of SR 532:

Chairman Shelton opened the Public Hearing to consider Ordinance #C-174-98 (R-65-98) renaming County Roads on Camano Island.

Mr. Murphy, I-COM Address Data Coordinator stated they initiated the change from Porter Way to Camano Real Place because Porter Way was a continuation of a private road named Camano Real Place and there was already another Porter Street. Since there were no residents on Porter Way, it would not affect anyone’s address. He stated the County was eliminating grid numbered roads and explained they originally proposed to change 90 N to Sitka Lane. The residents counter-proposed to extend High Road across Sunset and change that portion of Blackburn Road and all of 90 N to High Road. He explained I-COM had failed to provide public notice to Blackburn Road residents before the last hearing so this hearing was being held again.

Carolyn Ehret, 903 W. 90th N., Camano Island, stated changing the entire road to High Road would bring greater continuity and would be less confusing than changing only a portion to Sitka Lane. She spoke to Sylvia Solie who owns two lots at Sunset and Blackburn Road who was also in favor of changing it to High Road. She submitted a letter from her neighbor, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Cromwell into the record:

Mr. Glen Ward, 942 W. Blackburn Road, Camano Island was in favor of changing it to High Road. In fact, he had asked when building his house to address it High Road, but it was assigned Blackburn Road.

Commissioner Thorn supported the proposed changes and felt it would much less confusing.

BOARD ACTION: A Motion was made to approve Ordinance #C-174-98 (R-65-98) Renaming Porter Way in the Plat of Mountain View Beach #2 to Camano Real Place and renaming that portion of Blackburn Road from Sunset to 90N and all of 90N to High Road. Motion as made and seconded, was approved unanimously.
