HEARING HELD:  FRANCHISE #137 – Sewer collection system

Crisconn MBR Corporation Road

 

A Public Hearing was held at 10:20 a.m. as advertised, for the purpose of considering  Franchise #137 [RM-PW-03-20-111] for  a sewer collection system, by Crisconn MBR Corporation,  along County rights-of-way Mutiny Bay Road & Fish Road; Sec. 15, Twp 29N, R2E.   Crisconn MBR Corporation representative attended.   Mr. Oakes reported on behalf of the Public Works Department and County Engineer in  favor of granting the franchise as requested.

 

At the time of hearing, no one in the audience spoke for or against the franchise.  Public portion of the hearing closed. 

 

The Board by unanimous approved  Franchise #137 for  a sewer collection system, by Crisconn MBR Corporation,  along County rights-of-way Mutiny Bay Road & Fish Road; Sec. 15, Twp 29N, R2E.

 

After the Board had taken action, Peggy Berto, Fish Road,  Freeland, arrived at the meeting late and asked for an opportunity to make comments on the Franchise.  The Chairman afforded her the opportunity to comment, but advised that the Board had already taken action.

 

Ms. Berto had an idea for a  variation in the route she thought would save the applicant about 200’ of line:  come up  Mutiny Bay Road and Fish Road to her lot  [map parcel #228237] where Fish Road curves  and access just beyond the south boundary of that road and then straight into the property where the drainfields are to be located.

 

The Commissioner explained that the action of the Board approving  the  franchise gave  the franchisee the ability  to place the sewer collection line in county road right of way, and that action would not preclude  negotiating a shorter route between private parties, but the County would not be involved in that negotiation.

 

 

There being no further business to come before the Board at this  time, the meeting adjourned at 10:32 a.m.     The Board will meet in Special Session on November 12, 2003, beginning at 6:00 p.m. to consider  Ord. C-84-03 (PLG-019-03) Critical Drainage Area Designation for Thunder Ridge, to be held at the Camano Country Clubhouse, 1243 S. Beach Drive, Camano Island, Wa.  The next regular meeting of the Board will be November 17, 2003 at  9:30 a.m.
