PUBLIC HEARINGS
Lynnesfield Planned Unit Development/PUDA/Subdivision, Campbell Construction Application
9404-10.
Director of Building and Community Development Dave Robison introduced Judy Serber, Staff
Planner, who explained the proposal for the 98 unit residential development on a 23-acre site
southwest of the Jefferson County Fairgrounds. She noted it is planned as a 34 multi-family and 64
single-family development for a density of 4.3 dwelling units per acre in an area zoned R1A which
would allow a maximum of 107 units and density of 4.7.
Ms Serber pointed out it is a proposed phased project and stated the infrastructure is to be approved
by Public Works for each phase. Mr. Robison noted all the infrastructure has to be in place within
5 years by state law. Ms. Serber stated the water system mains would be connected prior to approval
of the 46th unit. She also indicated the proponents have agreed to paying a fair share contribution
for improvements to San Juan Avenue.
Mr. Robison discussed unresolved issues as outlined in his memorandum to Council November 27,
1995, regarding the draft Property Use and Development Agreement (PUDA) and recommended
Council action. The following issues were raised: Trail plan (non-motorized) #16; and Street Lights
#18. He also presented a new condition for consideration: "Prior to issuance of any building permit,
the Developer shall pay that unit's fair share contribution of off-site transportation impacts, The
Developer's total contribution for all units is $22,652 or $231 per unit based upon 98 units including
multifamily units."
Mr. Rick Sepler, Madrona Planning and Development Services, authorized representative for the
applicant, noted project phasing. He stated the site is unique and reported the site plan is developed.
He reported a good trail system and mentioned all trees over 6 inches have been inventoried.
He spoke of the extensive State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review and that it was a public
hearing.
He stated the first phase of the project is Phase A, a regional storm water facility, and that Phase C
will be concurrent with Phase A.
He noted the wide diversity neighborhood and that it is consistent with the adopted and proposed
Comprehensive Plans and Growth Management Act.
Ms Andy Braun, Associate Planner for Madrona, presented the requested changes to the following
items of the PUDA: Pg 5, Item 10; Pg 6, Item 16; Pg 13, Item 50 (SEPA mitigation--if changed Pg
15, Item 58 needs to be done also); Pg 15, Item 58; Pg 17, Item 72.
Mr. Joe Campbell, Campbell Construction, stated he expects to build 5 to 10 houses per year. He
stated that the next 5 years he will give his best effort to get all things done and said he and his wife
agree to pay a fair share fee for San Juan Avenue improvements.
Councilmember Harpole inquired if stumps from the development could be chipped. He requested
that it be explored.
Mayor Clise opened the heating to the public.

Ms Katherine Jenks questioned communication with the Port Townsend School District regarding
trails and a fence along the west side of the wetland. She requested a documentable plan before
approval, that the trails stay outside the wetland, and that there be a buffer. Mr. Robison answered
that the School District had been included in the development of the trail plan and this is the end
result. She also asked about plants, the size of the storm water buffer, and habitat enhancements,
which was answered by Judy Serber. She asked regarding the southwest comer gap, which was also
answered by Judy Serber. She then requested that each phase be in accordance with PUD Chapter
17.40 of the Port Townsend Municipal Code.
Ms Etta Roth expressed concerns about building multifamily units first, the density of population,
slope rainwater feeding the wetlands and that you may find you no longer have a wetland..
Mr. Bob Witheridge, Maintenance at Blue Heron School, stated the School District is glad to have
Mr. Campbell's development as a neighbor
Mr. Ian Keith stated that if Item 50, requested change to the PUDA, is deleted, you might want to
retain Item 58. City Attomey McMahan stated it is a policy issue for Council consideration.
Mr. Terry Johnson said he knows the applicant puts out a good product for an affordable price. He
said Joe gives his best effort to do everything asked to do, that the City needs this, and he is in favor
of it.
Mr. Scott Orsbom, a 13-year employee for Joe Campbell, noted various issues that had been met.
He stated affordability of homes in Port Townsend is what it is about.
Mr. Dan Wagner spoke for himself and Port Townsend Lumber Company and expressed
wholehearted support for the Development.
Ms Lynn Kersey noted impossibilities of costs, permits, fees and ail, that we have nobody to blame
but ourselves. She wants to see local builders, not out of town developers.
Mr. James Duncan, neighbor of Joes, owns property next to his. He said he wants approval for him
to proceed with the development.
Ms. Lisa Enarson, Planning Commissioner, stated that regarding draining issues, PUDA Item No.
58 should apply to the person's property only.
Mr. Murry Rippon stated that Joe Campbell built his home. He addressed the issue of trails behind
the houses, that he dislikes having all trails open.

Mr. Sepler answered Ms Jenks regarding the School District, the buffer being 100 plus feet from the
fence, and the habitat plans being specific and according to Environmentally Sensitive Area permits.
He stated a storm buffer is not required, that there are plantings but no buffer planned.
He pointed out that with rainwater there is means to mitigate offsite, that there will be a monitoring
program for at least 46 units. Regarding developer's fair share in Item No. 50, if mitigation is not
appropriate they should not issue a permit for 47th trait. Regarding the 24-hour use of trails, he
noted some trails go nowhere and are dead ended. He stated if they connect to something, there
would be 24-hour use.
Mayor Clise closed the hearing to the Public.

with the following amendments:
Page 5, Item No. 10, changed by the proponent to read, "All Landscaping shall be completed for
each phase, prior to issuance of final plat approval."
