Commissioner Stamper discussed the Harmony Park RV center.
Lee Napier said the issue went before the hearings examiner in 2014. She said the owner purchased
park models and that his connection to septic and water systems would require placement permits. Lee
said the special-use permit expires in a year.
Commissioner Stamper discussed Leah Bagwell’s driveway concern. Lee said she believes the permit is
for a barn, not a house. Lee said Road Standards are part of the code. She said she has been working
with SCJ Alliance to revise the codes. She said she is working on a document that fire chiefs from all
jurisdictions could sign off on to create consistency. Lee said the form has been drafted and that she
plans to meet with the fire chiefs during their next meeting. The group also discussed dashed addresses.
Lee said she met with Jill Anderson, who met with Commissioner Jackson about removing the sales tax
revenue sharing.
Commissioner Jackson left at 9:48 a.m.
At 9:48 a.m., Commissioner Fund recessed the meeting until 10:30 a.m.
The meeting resumed at 10:39 a.m. with Commissioner Fund, Commissioner Jackson, Commissioner
Stamper, Lee Napier and Candy Hallom in attendance.
The commissioners discussed rescheduling the day’s meeting with the PFD until the entire PFD board
can meet.
Candy and Commissioner Jackson left at 10:40 a.m.
Commissioner Jackson returned at 10:43 a.m.
Lee Napier discussed the Hirst decision. She said members of the partnership have been asked to
complete a questionnaire. She discussed augmented stream flow, outreach, etc. that the partnership
may be asked to discuss to resolve stream flows. Lee said the Chehalis restoration project has provided
some funding for some of the other projects. She discussed partnering efforts with the water retention
facility. Commissioner Fund said the Flood Control Zone District is looking at the water retention facility
while the Flood Authority and the Chehalis Basin Partnership are looking at fish habitat as well as the
water retention project. Commissioner Jackson said his concern is that side conversations could conflict
with the primary goal of the Flood Control Zone District board. Commissioner Jackson said the county’s
goal is the water retention facility, which includes mitigation and fish habitat. Lee said those same
solutions may pop up in the Hirst fix.
Lee said she will attend a meeting planned for the third Friday in April. Commissioner Jackson said he
also will attend.
Commissioner Fund said the Flood Authority will hold in-person meetings every other month.
