A Public Hearing originally scheduled to be held on August 24, 2006 on Camano Island has been canceled. The Board by unanimous motion at this time re-scheduled the Public Hearing to consider the request to open an unopened County Road Right-of-Way by Charles Carman for private construction of unopened County Right-of-Way known as Park Drive located within the Plat of Sunnyshore Acres, Camano Island, for Tuesday, October 3, 2006 at 2:00 p.m. at the Camano Muilt-purpose Center located at 141 N. E. Camano Drive, Camano Island, Wa.

At 10:30 a.m. as scheduled and advertised, a Public Hearing was held to consider proposed Ordinance #C-77-06 (PLG-020-06), an Ordinance Concerning Technical Amendments to the Island County Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Plan Map and the Island County Zoning Atlas [GMA #8831 as introduced and scheduled]. Exhibit B to the Ordinance, a memorandum to the Board, explains the technical correction.

Jeff Tate, Assistant Director, Planning & Community Development Department, summarized the proposal as having to do with Boundary Line Adjustment (BLA) 281/05 between two different pieces of property, County park property and the Goodman property, a subject that has been before the Board in the past. The boundary is also a zoning district boundary and County code prohibits BLA's along zone boundaries because it would create parcels with split zoning. When there is a need for a BLA, as there is in this case, staff attempts to do the BLA and zoning correction as close in time as possible so there is no overlap. The action proposed will make the zoning boundary consistent with BLA 281/05 approved on those two pieces of property.

At the time of hearing when the Chairman called for public comment, no members of the public were present to speak either for or against the proposed ordinance.

By unanimous motion the Board approved Ordinance #C-77-06/PLG-020-06 An Ordinance Concerning Technical Amendments to the Island County Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Plan Map and the Island County Zoning Atlas. [Ordinance #C-77-06 on file with the Clerk of the Board; approved Ordinance entered into the GMA record as #8835]

was presented to the Board by Mr. Tate with a recommendation of approval. Planning staff reviewed the request submitted by Penn Cove and revised boundary shown as Exhibit A of the resolution, finding it consistent with the Coordinated Water System Plan, confirmed that there are no other water system service areas in that area, and is consistent with the underlying zoning designation. Penn Cove Water District has shown it is capable of providing water within that boundary and also received preliminary approval from the State Department of Health.

By unanimous motion, the Board approved Resolution #C-88-06/PLG-022-06 in the matter of expanding the Service Area for the Penn Cove Water District and incorporating the revised boundary into the Island County Coordinated Water System Plan [Resolution #C-88-06 on file with the Clerk of the Board]

Mr. Tate presented Ordinance #C-89-06/PLG-025-06 in the matter of reclassifying Parcel R13219-342-0890 From Rural to Rural Agriculture, regarding ZAA 223/06 by applicant/owner, Laura Ann Hesselgrave, requesting a zoning classification change for Assessor’s Parcel No. R13219-342-0890, from Rural to Rural Agriculture. The request of the property owner is to amend the zoning classification and rezone the property from Rural five acre to Rural Agriculture ten acre. This is a Type I decision under ICC 17.03 of the County Zoning Ordinance [ministerial decision]. The Planning Director has the authority to make the decision, while modification of the map must be approved by the Board of County Commissioners. Mr. Tate confirmed that the proposal meets the requirements spelled out in 17.03.

By unanimous motion the Board approved Ordinance #C-89-06/PLG-025-06 in the matter of reclassifying Parcel R13219-342-0890 From Rural to Rural Agriculture. [Ordinance #C-89-06/PLG-025-06 on file with the Clerk of the Board] [GMA #8837]

Mr. Tate requested Board approval to submit a Salmon Recovery Funding Board (SRFB) Grant Application for 2006 (7^th round) grant process, a competitive grant process. The proposed project as discussed at the last staff session is for Strawberry Point Protection Assessment, with Island County's contribution $59,400.00 (total amount is $269,400.00).
