Resolution #C-12-00 (R-06-00) – Emergency closure - portion of Maple Grove Road, vicinity of the Plat of Maple Grove Beach

 

Larry Kwarsick, Public Works Director, appeared before the Board, along with Lew Legat, County Engineer, to recommend approval of a resolution  to close a portion of Maple Grove Road in the vicinity of the Plat of Maple Grove Beach, 1st Addition, Division  3, Sec 23, Twp 32N, R 2E, Camano Island.  Mr. Kwarsick pointed out a correction that needed to be made to the resolution, in the title and the body of the resolution in the  Be It Hereby Resolved paragraph, the terminating mile post should read 0.45 to mile post 0.50  instead of 0.45 to mile post 0.65.  Staff are working to  bring in special expertise to provide guidance in dealing with this slide problem.  Until such time as repairs have been made it is recommended this portion of Maple Grove Road be closed.

 

Commissioner Thorn agreed, after having looked at the slide area on site with the Camano Road  Supervisor, road closure was the appropriate action.   As  soon as staff has something definite as far as a schedule to repair the slide, that information should be made publicly known.

 

By unanimous motion, the Board approved Resolution #C-12-00 [R-06-00] as presented, with amendment to correct the  title of the resolution and correction in the  body of the resolution in the  Be It Hereby Resolved paragraph, so that the  terminating mile post should read 0.45 to mile post 0.50.

Review Financial Reports

 

Treasurer: December, 1999  & YTD Cash Report; County Investment Report & Status

Auditor:  Monthly Review of Revenues and Expenditures, December, 1999

 

The Treasurer’s  Report and the Auditor’s Report were provided in writing.  Both  the Treasurer, Maxine Sauter, and Auditor, Suzanne Sinclair, were present to  elaborate on their reports, and  respond to any questions.

 

Commissioner  Shelton observed that the Cash Report from the Treasurer shows total cash receipts of one amount, but the  total revenues on the Auditor’s Report show a different figure.

 

Ms. Sinclair explained that the two reports would never look the same because the  computer accounting systems do not “talk” to one another, resulting in having to enter  a lot of cash receipts, therefore the  cash reconciliation comes harder and longer.  The cash report shows cash on hand, the other report shows earnings.  It was her opinion  that a financial report could be prepared that would succinctly explain why those differences exist.  She thought it would be interesting to have some  companies  that do comprehensive software give a demonstration of what is available as far as more user-friendly  systems.

 

Ms. Sauter  commented on her responsibilities in  making  investments and to make sure  every penny  is accurate; she likes  checks and balances of independent recordings of revenues, and noted that a  cash system is entirely different than an accrual system.

 

Commissioner  Shelton was  interested in seeing a  cooperative accounting system that meets everyone’s needs, one that interfaces  one with another in terms of the Auditor and Treasurer.  He believed that where there are two accounting systems that cannot interface with one another someone had to be doing some  work that need not be done.  No one was  asking any Elected Official to compromise what they feel is  important, but did think they should move along with

technology.

 

Commissioner Thorn expressed his frustration  at not having a   single more meaningful financial report, more management oriented.  He was wide open to suggestions and was willing to get together with both Ms. Sauter and Ms. Sinclair to discuss the matter.

 

Treasurer’s Investment Report:  as of December 31, 1999, there is $56.4 million  invested.  Interest rates seem to be staying between 5.8 and 5.95%, but last week up to 6.2 to 6.5 for $500,000 to $1 million invested for 6 months.

 

HEARING HELD:  ORDINANCE #C-02-00 (PLG-003-00) Amending the boundary of the Bayview and West Beach RAIDs

 

A Public Hearing was held at 10:45 a.m. as scheduled and advertised, for the purpose of considering Ordinance #C-02-00, introduced on 1/10/00 and set for this date and time  prepared to respond to the November 23, 1999 order of the Western Washington Growth Board.

 

            Attendance:

            Public:                     None   [Attendance Sheet GMA doc. #_____]

            Staff/Consultant:     Keith Dearborn; Jeff Tate

 

The boundaries to eight RAIDs were invalidated by the Growth Board, finding for six of those eight RAIDs Island County was in full compliance with GMA with changes made in August by Island County; for  two RAIDs, the County was found not in compliance and directed to make further  changes.  The proposed ordinance includes an amendment to 17.03 and to the zoning atlas.  On January 10th,  the amendment to  17.03 changed  one table, and  showed what the changes were using  maps posted on the wall at that time [GMA doc. #5296,  West Beach RAID; #5297 Bayview RAID].

 

Today, Mr. Tate submitted  proposed amendments [GMA doc. #           ]:

 

            Page 2 of Ordinance #C-02-00, the fifth line after Exhibit B, add “and amendments to          the Finding of Fact attached hereto as Exhibit C”

 

            Exhibit A [Page 5] 17.03.075, Residential Areas of More Intensive Rural Development:

 

                        North Whidbey:  Seaview  RAID density should be 2 dwelling units per acre,

                        not 3, and ½ acre minimum acre lot size

 

                        South Whidbey:  Bayview RAID changed to Sunlight Beach RAID

 

            Exhibit C,  Findings of Fact, starts on page 7.   

 

            Added under Findings of Fact 84, #84A for Sunlight Beach RAID, describing the

            Hearings Board compliance hearing order language,  renames the RAID from Bayview

            to Sunlight Beach, and includes a county response to the compliance hearing order, to

            delete the connecting lots between the Bayview commercial and what had been called         the Bayview residential  – deleting some of the larger lots bounded on the west side by

            diking and drainage district.  That resulted in a reduction in 163.8 acres in the RAID and

            26 parcels. 

 

            Added under Findings of Fact 85, #85a for West Beach RAID describing the compliance    hearing order and the county’s response to eliminate the interconnecting        strip between   the Plat of Seaview and lower plats of Patton’s Hide-Away and some of             the other          smaller plats.  That resulted in a reduction of  38-1/2 acres and 18 lots. 

 

            The last three pages are the same charts used throughout the process detailing in

            ranges of parcel size what that reduction means in the new revised charts.

 

In the record is a letter  dated January 10, 2000 from Jeff Tate to John Graham, Island County Citizens Growth Management Coalition [GMA doc. #5270] enclosing a copy of proposed Ordinance PLG-003-00 and transmitting  large scale maps showing revisions  to the West Beach  and Bayview Residential RAIDs proposed to comply with the November 23, 1999 compliance hearing order  of the Western Growth Board., and asked for comments or suggestions on the proposal.     Mr. Tate followed with a  phone call to Mr. Graham  who did question the inclusion of  one parcel in the Bayview RAID, the northern most parcel of about 10 or so acres and was not pleased to see that included.

 

Mr. Tate showed on the map where that parcel was located.  And Commissioner Shelton stated that was actually two parcels, not one contiguous parcel.  The  second parcel south of the one in question has already been subdivided into what may be one acre lots so; in essence, the only real development potential is the one 10-acre piece in the entire RAID.  Mr. Tate advised that that parcel is the northern most parcel in the RAID and included because it is  bordered on the north side by Gabelein Road; on the east side by Bayview Road; on the west side by diking and drainage district.

 

Public Input

No one spoke either for or against Ordinance #C-02-00.

 

Board Action

By unanimous motion, the Board approved Ordinance #C-02-00 [PLG-003-00] in the matter of amending Chapter 17.03 of the Island County Code and the Zoning Atlas to comply with the invalidity order of the Western Washington  Growth Management Hearings  Board regarding certain rural residential  RAIDs, as amended to change the density for Seaview from 3 to 3 dwelling units per acre;  cover ordinance second page adding the reference to Exhibit C, and attaching Exhibit C as part of the Ordinance.
