Public Input or Comments

 

Clinton Hollingsworth, LG,  Consulting Geologist, Camano Island, licensed in Washington State as a Geologist,  addressed the Board with regard to aspects of the 2003 International Residential Code.  One of his projects last year was rejected because it was not prepared by a qualified engineer, a result apparently due to new regulations imposed by the International Residential  Code adopted in late July 2004, specifically R403.1.7 Footings on or adjacent to slopes. The problem is that the IRC parameters do not take into consideration the overall nature and basic stability or lack thereof of the lithologies lying under the lot be it a coastal bluff or a lot with a slope exceeding a one to three slope gradient.  Subsection R403.1.7.4 Alternate Setback and Clearances, provides for a departure from the formulae for setback if evaluated by a qualified engineer.  Under Section R403.1.7.4 the geologist has been denied the ability to make professional judgments in slope stability analyses.  His request to the Board of Island County Commissioners was to consider inserting the words “Licensed Geologist” or the equivalent, into  subsection R403.1.7.4 of the International Residential Code as enacted in Island County. [Clinton Hollingsworth written submittal placed on file with the Clerk of the Board]

 

            Pat Lamont, Lamont Drive, Oak Harbor, attending with her husband,  submitted written  comments for the record [placed on file with the Clerk of the Board] related to late tax bills  and extra tax bills, relaying  their struggles since their hearing before the Board of Equalization January 23, 2004. A value adjusted notice was received on September  9 lowering the value of the land by a substantial amount but they have been unable to find out from the Assessor or Treasurer  how much that lowered their taxes.  In October of 2004 they were told to pay the full second half taxes and  assured when they did get receive a refund that it would  include interest.  They have been told by the Treasurer‘s Office that it probably will yet be another two months.   Her point:  the system is broken and needs to be fixed.
