FROM: Mary Bertrand, President
Chums of Barker Creek
RE: (A Petition to preserve the Barker Creek corridor by excluding its boundaries
from the Drban Growth Areas of Silverdale, Central Kitsap and Bremerton.
RATIONALE:
I. Growth Management Act
In keeping with RCW.36.70A.160-"Key counties and cities must identify open space
corridors within and between urban growth areas. Open Space includes such open
space lands useful for recreation, habitat, trails and critical lands. "
The Barker Creek corridor provides all of these components for the citizens of Kitsap
County as follows:
A. Recreation
1. Kitsap County Fairgrounds and Facilities Complex
2. Island Lake County Park and Community Center
B. Habitat
1. Chum, coho, cutthroat are salmon species. In addition, some
chinook utilize the lower reaches of this stream for foraging
and protection.(Category B Refugia)
2. Migratory and resident birds are numerous including pileated, hairy
and downy woodpeckers, great blue heron and at least three species
of owls
3. Mountain Beavers, deer, racoons, fox, otters and numerous smaller
mammals are frequently sighted.
C. Vegetation
Much of the area is a heavily forested canopy with numerous trees and
diverse types of plants
D. Critical Lands
1. Barker Creek Preserve parcels total over 40 acres
2. Stream Associated wetlands are a pre-dominant feature in this area of
deep ravines, small tributaries and underground springs
3. Aquifer Recharge Areas(Including areas in which new development most
significantly impacts recharge and streams)
4. Geologic Areas of Concern
(Reference: Kitsap County Maps and Overlays)
D. Three Springs Outdoor Classroom(10 acres)
#,'
Petition to preserve Barker Creek Corridor as separator between UGA's (continued)
II. The Public Speaks
A. Petition of signatures from property owners shown on map
The Majority of the watershed is zoned rural. The request is to make the entire
corridor compatible with the rural zoning. The residents are in three categories:
1. Those north ofW AAGA Way who wish to remain in a rural designation
2. Those south of W AAGA Way in Silverdale UGA who wish to downzone from
Urban Restricted to Rural
(Since this map was completed, there have been additional signatures submitted to Kitsap County
Staff. These signatures are all in the Silverdale UGA which seems to be the controversial site.
Jt Those in Central Kitsap UGA who wish to downzone from Urban Restricted':to
Rural.'
,SQ in summary, downzonirig the small area in the Silverdale UGA and the Central Kitsap UGA
from Urban Restricted to Rural would be consistent with the major portion of the Barker Creek
corridor which is already zoned rural.
The following information was taken from the printouts provided by KitsapCounty Staff as
follows:
B. 10 Year Update: Vision Themes(see attached)
1. Four of the Twelve Vision Themes include
a. Natural environment and open space protection and enhancement.
balanced with growth
b. Consider broader natural environmental context and open space
connections
During these workshops, there was an exercise where people put dots on the important
components that they envisioned for their area. I won't read all of them here, but I have
included them in your packets for your review. For example:A Dominant theme in Central
Kitsap as follows:
1) Need more about habitat and aspects such as connecting corridors; very important(13
dots)
2) Zoning: protecting existing spaces designated for park/green space and avoiding future
development, durable protection, in perpetuity(18 dots)
c. Rural open space and buildings are part of Kitsap' s character
d. Define and distinguish urban and rural areas
:aer~ again, there were 16 dots in the cQmment: "Maintain clear separation between urban
and rural areas using green/open space. i
Central Kitsap-See sample comments attached)
..
C. Alternatives Workshop Meeting Summary(May 26. 2006)
I knew you wouldn't have an opportunity or the time to go through these workshop summaries in
as great a detail as you might like in order to make your recommendations and/or decisions.
Therefore, I have summarized the following comments from the public at the three workshops
held in North, South and Central Kitsap as follows:
1. There are 18 specific references to Barker Creek in this Draft.
a. 12 state that Barker Creek should be rural and left out ofUGA
b. } loves Barker Creek but doesn't want it to be a barrier for annexation
c. } wants to consider "residential in BP area" whatever that means
d. 3 want Barker Creek in Silverdale UGA
e. 1 "doesn't want to make a special situation out of Barker Creek-Adds
complication that can better be handled in another way"

,J apologize for this short <fiotice~ but it is becoming clear that those who signed the. petition to
keep the Barker Creek corridor preserved and out of the Urban Growth areas need to be aware
that there ate still commUnity memQers who are attempting to keep it within the Urban Growth
Areas <especially in the Silverdale UGA. For example, there are several members of the Central
Kitsap Community Council who are trying to keep the area south ofW AAGA Way within the
Urban Growth Area so that it would be included in the potential city of Silverdale. The petition
that was signed has been recorded as follows:
We, the urtdersigned residents within the Barker Creek watershed petition the Bremerton City Council and the Kitsap
County Board of County Commissioners to preserve the Barker Creek corridor by excluding its boundaries from the
Urban Growth Areas ofSilverdal~, Central Kitsap and Bremerton. This petition is in keeping with the Growth
Management Act(RCW36. 70A.160)"Key counties and cities must identify open space corridors within and between
urban growth areas. Open space Includes such open space lands useful for recreation, habitat, trails and critical
lands."
However, it is important for all of us to again remind the Planning Commission and the Board of
County Co~ssioners of this desire. There will be a Work Study Session with the combined
members of the Planning Commission and the Board of County Commissioners on July 10,2006
from 6:00 p.m- 9:00 p.m at the President's Hall on the Kitsap County Fairgrounds site. This will
be a public hearing, but I suspect that we will have a time limit of approx. 3 minutes to give
public testimony. Hopefully, we can have as many as possible attend this meeting.
However, I also realize that we all have very busy schedules and may not have the opportunity to
attend this Hearing. Therefore, I would also encourage anyone to email your statements to the
following as soon as possible:
County Commissioners:

The Silverdale Sub Area Plan Citizen Advisory Committee Meeting met on Thursday, June
29th, 2006.
As a member of this Citizen Advisory Committee, I am making the following protests to how
this meeting was conducted.
I will admit that I did not attend this meeting. However, I would challenge any of those present to
refute the following facts:
1) Ron Ross was not appointed by the County Commissioners to be a member. In fact, he did not
even have the courtesy during the June 9th meeting to make a request to the staff that he
represent Tim Mathes. After much discussion on June 9th, the majority voted that he could be
allowed to represent Tim Mathes at that meeting. There was NO discussion that he would then
be allowed to automatically become a CAC member for any following meetings.
2) There are "more than thirty" appointed members of the CAC. There were 14 members present
at the June 29th meeting. That does NOT make a quorum.
Reference:
Silverdale Sub-Area Plan/EIS Citizen Advisory Committee Roles and Responbilities
"Make Up of Committee-The CAC is represented by more than thirty members of the
community representing a broad cross section of community groups, etc."
3) This meeting was held specifically for the purpose of providing an opportunity for further
discussion of the site specific Land Use Reclassification Requests. The CAC had voted on the
Alternative Plans at the June 9th meeting. There is NOTHING on the agenda for the June 29th
meeting regarding revisions of the Alternative Plans that were previously voted upon.
4 }Ron Ross, a p.on-member of the CAC made a motion to keep the Barker Creek corridor within
,the Silverdale UGA. To my knowledge, there was no vote by even those present to acknowledge
that Ron Ross was a legitimate member of the CAC for this meeting. Therefore, this vote has no
merit.
"To the extent possible, the facilitator will ensure that the presentations and discussions conform .
to the agenda and that all participants have the opportunity to speak and be heard." Nine CAC
members who voted to change a unanimous vote from the June 9th meeting that was not even on
the June 29th agenda is hardly an a.cceptable;fair, equitable, much less an honest process. It was
up to the facilitator to not allow this motion to be made. It is now up to the County staff and/or
facilitator to rescind this request which could not even be considered a motion, much less a
legitimate vote.
Further, "CAC members will serve as a link to the greater community, bringing forth the interests
of the groups they represent." taken from reference noted above regarding COlllIilittee Roles and
Responsibilities. . Ron Ross represents his own personal, economic interests. He was not
speaking for all the citizens in the Central Valley and Barker Creek corridor who signed a
petiton to remain OUT OF THE SILVERDALE UGA.
5) Nine CAC members voted in favor. This hardly represents all of the people in the Barker
Creek corridor who signed a petition to remain out of the SilverdaIe UGA. Are these nine people
r~presenting these citizens. or again representing. other spe~ial interests of a more political:
economic~>benefit for the future "POTENTIAL" city limits of Silverdale? In fact the request by
the citizens of the Barker Creek corridor is in total conformance of the GMA to provide
greenbelts between and within Urban Growth Areas. The request to keep this corridor within the
SilverdaIe UGA would be in contradiction to that RCW.
('
It ~ ...<"'.....--- ", ~ ';r ..
6) There was reference to the County buying property in the Barker Creek corridor. This needs
clarification. The County, as the Lead Entity, is utilizing Salmon Recovery Board Funding
which is a combination of state and federal funds. Obviously, this funding for acquisition
purposes makes a statement by the Governor appointed Board of the importance of Barker Creek
as a vital salmon stream within the Dyes Inlet Watershed.
In Summary, the unanimous vote by the CAC on June 9th to remove the Barker Creek corridor
from the Silverdale UGA must, by its merits, be the only vote of record.
. Respectfully,
Mary Bertrand, Chums of Barker Creek

UPDATE ON TIlE BARKER CREEK CORRIDOR
, An Appeal for Citizen Response
Commissioner Chris Endresen said it best at the June 5, 2006 Board of County Commissioners Meeting when she
urged all citizens to become knowledgeable about the Comprehensive Plan for Kitsap County that is presently being'
updated. The Kitsap County website www.MyKitsap.org is one of the more important sources of information
available. All citizens are urged to "describe Your Vision and share Your Views and Shape Our Future."
'.
The Chums of Barker Creek citizens' group are particularly interested in preserving the Barker Creek corridor. The
Concerned Citizens of Central Valley have also been very active in petitions to preserve the rural character of the ,
Central Valley neighborhoods 'north ofWAAGA Way. These intentions span several years: .
1992- Open Space Levy Movement. Barker Creek corridor received multiple recommendations. Out of225 sites
. throughout Kitsap County proposed, Barker Creek corridor places 8th out of 10 top priority sites for preservation in
the Central Kitsap area. .
January 30, 1996- A letter from Bricklin/Gendler law firm on behalf of the Chums of Barker Creek was
submitted to the Kitsap County Dept, of Community Development stating 1he importance of 1his salmon stream and
that the watershed must be preserved by means of minimizing loss of forest cover and considering the results of the
cumulative impacts of impervious surface and that zoning issues must address this.
October 2003- Chums ofBarlrer Creek request 1hat the :Barhr Creek corridor be protected from the impactS of
urban development quoting many of the concerns regarding zoning and lost of forest cover/increased impervious
surface( Follow-up ofletter dated 1/30/% submitted to 1he Kitsap County Board of County Commissioners)
January 13, 2005- "We have the opportunity to make decisions to protect the Barker Creek Watershed by .
excluding it from the entire UGA, keeping it rural and removing a small portion of the UGA that currently exists in
the watershed. It is not often that 1he opportUnity to protect an entire watershed comes along and we should take
advantage of that opportunity." (Statement made at the Silverdale Planning-Watershed Subcommittee meeting)
March 24, 2005 - A list of signatures from the Concerned Citizens of Central Valley stating their opposition of
changing the UGA boundaries to include the Central Valley Area was submitted to the Silverdale Sub-Ami Planning
Committee .
. June 2005.... A petition to "Preserve the Barker Creek watershed as a protected Greenbelt outside the Urban .
Growth areas of Silverdale, Central Kitsap and Bremerton" was submitted by the Chums of Barker Creek to
Members of the Citizens Advisory Committee, Silverdale., Sub-Area Planning; Daren Nygren, Presi<Jent, Bremerton
City Council and Chris Hugo, Director, Dept. ofBremerton Community Development. This petition also included
several maps showing where New Development Most Significantly Impacts Recharge and Streams; Building
Limitations and Aquifer Recharge Areas. .
August 1,2005 - Kiisap County Dept. of Community Development map submitted to Silverdale Sub-Area Plan
Citizens Advisory Group which contains the following information:
The map depicts two separate petitions submitted by citizen groups as public input to the Urban Growth Area
planning process. The Chums of Barker Creek petition was signed in an effort to exclude the Barker Creek
watershed from futUre Urban Growth areas. Of the III signatures, 88 were mapped within the Barker Creek
watershed (79D1o) and 95 were mapped within the limits of1he Silverdale Study Area (86%); 58 curre~tly already
reside either in the Silverdale or Central Kitsap UGA(52%) and 43 reside within the UGA and within the Barker
Creek watershed (39%). .
P.O. Box 111 · Tracyton, WA 98393 . 698-4004 / 692-~392
August 2005- The second petition was submitted by the Concerned Citizens of Central Valley and states the desire
to be excluded from a future Urban Growth Area.
Of the 213 signatures on this petition 100 were mapped within the Steele Creek watershed (47%) and 73 were
mapped within the limits of the Silverdale Study Area (34%) 10 of the Barker Creek residents signed both petitions.
February 2006- A supplement to the above petition was submitted to the Kitsap County Dept. of Community
Development and the Silverdale Citizens Advisory Committe because" the urban growth areas that are now being
designated on the maps of the Silverdale Sub Area Plan do not correspond or correlate with the intentions of the
Growth Management Act to identify open space corridors within and between urban growth areas
(RCW.37.70A.160)
April 2006- chums of Barker Creek request to preserve and protect the BaIker Creek corridor by removing that
portion south of W AAGA Way from the Urban Restricted Zoning to Rural designation. (Letter to Eric Baker, Kitsap
County DCD; Members of the Kitsap County Planning Commission; Kitsap County Board of County
Commissioners; Members of the Bremerton City Council; MaIk MaUreD, Director, Kitsap County Facilities, Parks
and Recreation Dept.)
April 2006- ~uest of Chums of Barker Creek to address relevant issues of the EIS pertaining to the Barker
Creek watershed-ie. Earth; Water Resources; Fish and Wildlife (letter to Eric Baker, 10 year Update Manager,
Kitsap County Dept. of Community Development)
2006- A supplement to the petitions from Concerned Citizens of Central Valley is submitted to the Kitsap County
Dept. of Community Development and the Citizens Advisory Committee, Silverdale Sub-Area Plan "To Keep the
Entire Central Valley area out of the UGA"
April 19, 2006 -Comments on Draft ofKitsap County Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan
regarding Hazardous and Ecologically Critical Areas on the Kitsap County Fairgrounds complex
which impact the Barker Creek ecosystem (Oral testimony submitted at Kitsap County Planning Commission and
Open Space Committee by Mary Bertrand representing Chums of BaIker Creek)
Despite all these requests, there are site-specific requests to zone areas north of W AAGA Way for development.
Further, there is a contingent of folks who would like the potential Silverdale City limits to be extended into the
Cen1ral Kitsap UGA whiCh is "the area south ofW AAGA Way and East ofBarlrer Creek.
Our contention is that the entire Barker Creek corridor needs to be a greenbelt with rural zoning from Island Lake to
the Estuary at Tracyton Blvd. thus separating the Urban Growth areas of Silver dale and Bremerton city limits. '
The signatures have been an important tool for this process. However, it is also time for the citizens living in these
areas to "join the MyKitsap crowd by telling the County about Your Vision of Our Future." (Kitsap County
publication)
The support we have received this past year has been extremely gratifying. For example, many members sent
donations and renewal checks. The Kitsap Poggi_Club donated $100.00 for restoration projects along Ba..rker Creek.
A generous check of $220.00 was sent to "the Chums of Barker Creek on bebalf of"the Glenn .K. and June L Jarstad
fund at the Kitsap Community Foundation. These contributions are valuable for helping us with the administrative
costs and projects underway, but are also deeply appreciated for the statement of so many who believe in the goals
and objectives in preserving the Barker Creek corridor.

Hello Rick et ai,
The Chums of Barker Creek are formally requesting that you include the Barker Creek Corridor as a Greenbelt
between the Silverdale, Central Kitsap and Bremerton Urban Growth Areas.
I want to make sure this statement gets to the Planning Commission as well, but didn't have the email address
so hopefully this statement will be provided for them as well.
In referencing the WA Dept of Community, Trade and Economic Development, p. 18.
There is mention of Urban Separators.
Even though the Chums of Barker Creek have been working extensively and intensively with the CAC and
County Planning Staff regarding the petition to have the Barker Creek corridor as a Greenbelt between Urban
Growth Areas, I question why there is no mention of it in the Parks and OPEN SPACE plan. The mention of the
importance of the Barker Creek corridor quoted from the Greenways Plan in the Habitat Plan is not an
adequate acknowledgement of the importance of Barker Creek as a separator between the Urban Growth
Areas of Silverdale and Bremerton..
Also, please note p. 57. liAs noted in an earlier section that summarizes GMA requirements, the GMA also
includes a number of requirements for designating open spaces and open space corridors. Such open space
designations could logically be included within the Parks and Recreation Element.
Parks, recreation and open space will be only one of the many elements considered in the comprehensive
plan, but its inclusion will encourage the consideration of how open space will be protected as the community
grows."(Open Space: Preservation and Acquisition,1991)
Again, we request that the Barker Creek corridor be included in the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan in
addition to the petition that has been included in the CAG Sub Area Planning component.
Please let us know if the actual petition is also required to be part of the Parks Plan.1

FROM: Chums of Barker Creek Citizens' Organization
. ~:Compreliensive' Plan2QO() - This updated submittal is provided in response to the process now taking place in:
. Kitsap County updatmg the 1998 Comprehensive Plan and the Environmental Impact Statement '
I. CHUMS OF BARKER CREEKREQUEST TO PRES~RVE AND PROTECT TIm BARKER CREEK
ECOSYSTEM BY REMOVING THAT PORTION OF THE BARKER CREEK CORRIDOR WITHIN
THE SILVERDALE UGA DIRECTLY NORTH OF W AAGA WAY AND, THAT PORTION.IN THE
CENTRAL KITSAP UGA SOUTH OF W AAGA WAY FROM THE URBAN RESTRICTED ZONING TO
RURAL.
In 1996 the Chums of Barker Creek submitted a formal request to preserve the Barker Creek corridor. This was
stated in a letter dated January 30, 1996 to John VodopiCh, DCD from Bricklin & Gendler on behalf oithe Chums
of Barker Creek (Attachment #1). Now in 2006, the requests stated in that letter require an update and revisions
as follows:
Revision #1) 1996-Maintain the Urban Restricted designation for the Barker Creek corridor. This request requires a
revision from urban restricted to rural. The Urban Restricted zoning has not protected the Barker Creek corridor as
the defmition of this designation is not adhered to by developers or county planning staff. Rather developers within
this zoning are-a have' been encouraged by County Planning Staff to build to the maximwn. In addition, the dwelling
unit per acre has been allowed to be increased if the designated sensitive areas are not build able. This is a
contradiction for preservation. The definition is as follows:
"The Urban Restricted designation is applied to those areas
within urban growth boundaries which have been identified
as being significant critical areas. These include significant
salmon spawning streams, wetlands, and steep slopes. The
intent is that development would be limited in these areas to
protect these environmentally sensitive areas within urban
growth areas. Nonresidential development would be limited
and residential densities would be kept to a minimum."
Therefore, within the 2006 Comprehensive Plan update we are requesting that the area now designated in the
SiIverdale UGA as Urban Restricted north of WAAGA Way within the Barker Creek corridor and the Central
Kitsap UGA south of W AAGA Way be zoned rural in order to be consistent with the Rural zoning now in place
north of W AAGA Way. There is presently one section south of W AAGA way still within the SiIverdale UGA even
on the Conservative Draft bQundary map. (Attachment #2) 'The entire Barker Creek corridor need.s to be removed
, ':frome UGA boundaries in compliance with GMA.
(RCW 37.70A.160- "Key Counties and Cities must identify open space corridors within and between urban
growth areas. Open Space includes such open space lands useful for recreation, habitat and trails, and.
critical lands.")
Further, the Comprehensive Plan must clearly state what it means to keep residential development to a minimum.
Consistency between the Comprehensive Plan and implementing regulation is a core requirement for the Growth
Management Act (See RCW 36.70A.040(3)
P.O. Box 111 · Tracy ton, WA 98393 . 698-4004 / 692-~392
Revision #2) 1996- Identify maximum density in the Urban Restricted designation including the Barker Creek
Corridor as lot sizes ranging from one to two and one-half acres, depending on the specific sensitive area.
2006-Since we are now requesting a rural designation, this request no longer applies. The rural designation would be
consistent with stipulations from the Hearings Board in other counties. For example, of particular interest is a quote
from the Tacoma News Tribune dated August 6, 2005, "The County's rural separator, a 17 sq. mile area between
Tacoma and Puyullup, will continue to allow no more than one house per 5 acres, or two houses per 5 acres if half of
the land is set aside as open space." (CPSGMHB 8/4/2005)
Revision # 3) 1996-Adopt the Urban Restricted designation in the County's zoning and critical areas ordinances.
2006-Since we are now requesting a rural designation, this request no longer applies.
Revision # 4) 1996- Maintain the Open Space designation on the Barker Creek corridor in the Comprehensive Plan
and adopt zoning and critical areas regulations consistent with that designation.
2006- This request would continue to apply to the rural zoning request as well.
1996- Include the Barker Creek Corridor in the County's Greenway Plan.
2006- This request would continue to apply to the rural zoning request as well. The Kitsap County Greenways Plan
has identified Barker Creek as a wildlife corridor the entire length and its importance as a fisheries resource.
(Kitsap County Greenways Appendix II. Technical Issues Report, p. 29.6.2)
In summary, Barker Creek is a critical, salmon spawning stream which must be protected from the impacts of urban
development. This is well documented as follows:
1970- The steep slopes along Barker Creek at Tracyton Blvd. and Barker Creek Road were designated as hazardous
sites. (Attachment #3)

lI. THE- BARKER CREEK CORRIDOR IS A NATURAL G:RkENWAY BETWEEN THE URBAN
GROWTH AREAS OF SIL VERDALE, CENTRAL KITSAP AND BREMERTON.
1) The Washington State Open Space Act (RCW 84.34.00) defmes open space as any land area, the
preservation of which in its present state would:
* Conserve or enhance natural, cultural or scenic resources;
* Protect streams, stream corridors, wetlands, natural shorelines and aquifers;
* Protect soil resources and unique or critical wildlife and native plant habitat;
* Promote conservation principles by example or by offering educational opportunities;
The Barker Creek Corridor meets these standards as described:
The Barker Creek Corridor is located in Central Kitsap County in the Dyes Inlet watershed. Barker Creek which
flows from Island Lake and is fed from numerous small tributaries and underground streams, is one of only two
remaining m~or salmon streams of Dyes Inlet. Trees (some nearing old growth), natural springs, pristine soil and
undeveloped land protect and supply Barker Creek. Over 90 percent of the stream is still buffered with ferns, native
shrubs, large Douglas fir and cedars. Stream-associated wetlands and steep slopes are predominant features in this
area of deep ravines and small creeks. Barker Creek is a Nodal or Riparian Corridor with a diversity of 5 salmonid

which equals high quality, but with altered conditions; good ecological integrity.

There is an abundance and diversity of resident and migratory birds (mallards, great blue herons, eagles, hawks,
owls, pheasants, quail, pileated, downy and hairy woodpeckers, flickers, kingfishers as well as numerous smaller
birds as documented in a list compiled by Cheryl Lippy to the WDFW, as well as by members of the Kitsap
Audubon Society and the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. This corridor allows them protection for feeding, nesting,
roosting and rearing their young. Otters are frequently sighted in this stream and raccoons, coyotes, mountain
beavers, and deer inhabit the wooded forested area.
Finally, Barker Creek provides spawning and rearing habitat for coho which in past years were deposited annually by
the W A Dept. of Fish & Wildlife, but are presently sustained by natural runs. The Suquamish Tribe maintain a chum
egg box on Pinsch Creek, a tributary to Barker Creek. The escapement number for chums is second to Chico in the
Dyes Inlet Watershed. There are documented sightings of a few Chinook who utilize the estuary area for forage and
shelter from predators. ("Pocket Estuaries Critical for Chinook - "Pocket estuaries are small, some 4 acres or
less. Chinook and other fish simply love pocket estuaries using these sheltered habitats to feed, hide from predators,
and prepare for their transition to the open ocean." NW Indian Fisheries Commission publication)
A biologist from the Suquamish Tribe and students from Olympic Community College have recently been
conducting seining activities in the estuary. (Attachment #8). The fish produced in this system contribute to
Canadian, as well as Indian and non-Indian catches in Washington waters.
Not often mentioned, but returning salmon in Dyes Inlet are a significant economic factor and should not be
underestimated. Sports fishermen and their equipment needs are major contributors to a financial base in this area.
2) Kitsap County has already recognized the importante of protectipg Barker Creek.
-I 992JEven though the Open Space Levy movement was not successful, the Barker Creek corridor was rated
in the top ten priority areas in Central Kitsap to be preserved.
\ 1994:Comprehensive Plan and zoning map (adopted pursuant to the Growth Management Act), the County
. established an open space overlay for the Barker Creek Corridor which provided some protections for Barker
Creek, including protective buffers along Barker Creek. This Open Space overlay was recommended by staff
and approved by the Planning Commission and the County Commissioners.
\1?24-: present - Millions of dollars have been obtained and utilized by several public and private agencies and
. corporations for acquisition, research and restoration purposes within this corridor including:

III. THE RESIDENTS OF THE BARKER CREEK CORRIDOR AND THE CENTRAL VALLEY
COMMUNITY HAVE SUBMITTED PETITIONS REQUESTING THAT THE BARKER CREEK
CORRIDOR AND THE CENTRAL VALLEY AREA BE LEFT OUT OF tlIE URBAN GROWTH AREAS
These petitions correlate with the Kitsap County Community Vision Open Space and Greenway Plannin::
brochure. Its goals include:
I) Protect open spaces which contribute to community character and rural character.
2) Preserve and protect Kitsap County's natural systems and sensitive areas including wildlife habitat
and corridors.
3) Encourage the willing participation of private landowners. The petition submitted by the Chums of
Barker Creek includes the total of 100 residents within the Barker Creek corridor and 35 additional
Kitsap County residents.
In addition the Concerned Citizens of Central Valley submitted a petition with over 100 signatures
requesting that they remain in a rural zoning designation and do not wish to be included in an
Urban Growth area.
4) The Land Use Classification Request of the Applicant Royal Valley, LLC-George Minder
Corporation to be amended and rezoned to Urban Restricted does not meet the following criterifl:
C. The Subject parcel(s) is suitable for the requested land use designation based upon, but
not limited to, access, provision of utilities, consistency with existing and planned uses,
environmental constraints and compatibility with the neighborhood. It is documented t~<\t
this subject parcel requires an EIS. These factors (major wetlands, hydric soils, salmon bearing::
streams, geological hazardous areas) are also indicated on the above referenced Kitsap Count)l
maps (See attachments)
D. The proposed amendment will not create pressure to chWlge the land use designation of
other properties, unless the change ofland use is in the long term interests of the corimiunity
in general.
G. The proposed amendment is consistent with GMA, Kitsap County-wise Planning Policy,
state and local laws and other applicable inter-jurisdictional policies or agreements.

RE: A- petition to preserve the Barker Creek watershed as a protected greenbelt ou~side
the Urban Growth areas of Silverdale, Central Kitsap and Bremerton-.
(Supplementto letter dated June 25,2005) 1
I. REVIEW OF PREVIOUS REQUEST
'Ihissupplement is submitted at this time because the urban growth areas that are now being
designated on the maps of the Silverdale Sub Area Plan do not correspond or correlate with the
intentions of the Growth Management Act or the legal and environmental reasons stated in the
previous letter~'It seems that a sewer connection is the determining factor by which the CAC has
established that a section of the Barker Creek corridor directly North of Waaga way be included
in the study area and potential urban growth area. However, this woUld be contradictory to the
goals for the preservation of the entire salmon stream corridor and the GMA requirement
(RCW.36.70A020(10)
A. Request
1. That the entire Barker Creek watershed west of the Central Valley Road be left
out of the Urban Growth Areas. In addition, this would include the.entire area east of
Ridgetop down to and including the Bucklin Hill and Selbo Road area contained within the
Barker Creek watershed.
2. That the Study Area boundary be readjusted to exclude the Barker Creek
watershed entirely.
3. That the Barker Creek ecosystem from the estuary at Tracyton Blvd. to Waaga
Way be zoned in accordance with the rural zoning North ofWaaga Way since this is the
predominant area for spawning and rearing habitat for the five salmonid species listed for this
stream. It is ~nl! logical that rem~ving .this area fr~mAO the Ur~an ~~o"wth Area should b~its(; .'
very nature elumnate the urban deSIgnation.. -' ~ " #
B. Rationale _ .._~ ,~
1. "Key Counties and cities must 4dt.J.mi)' "'t-'",il space corriaors within and
between urban growth areas. Open space includes such open space lands useful for recreation,
habitat, trails and critical lands. (RCW.37.70A.160) .
2. . Environmentally critical areas must be designated .and protected. The
designation and protection of critical areas is the first formal step required in implementing the
GMA for two reasons:
a. to exclude critical areas from urban growth designation
b. to prevent irreversible environmental harm while comprehensive plans
and implementing development regulations were prepared.
3. The Central Growth Management Hearings Board, "It is significant that the Act
required cities and counties to identify and conserve resource lands and to identify and protect
critical areas before the date that UGAs had to be adopted. (RCW 37.70A.160)
.{
II. BARKER CREEK WATERSHED ANALYSIS INFORMATION
Keith Folkerts has brought numerous maps to the last two meetings, but has not had much
opportunity to explain them in depth. Each of these maps require time to digest the scientific
reasons why this corridor should be removed from the Urban Growth Areas. For example,
he mentioned that Barker Creek is a Nodal or Riparian Corridor. From the Kitsap County
Refugia Study, we know that Barker Creek:
Has a diversity of 5 salmonid species (one with an ESA listing)
Refugia Category B which equals high quality, but altered conditions; good ecological integrity.
(Kitsap Peninsula Salmonid Refugia Study-p.24,26-27,42,60)
There are many reasons why the Barker Creek corridor should be a preserved greenbelt and
removed from the Urban Growth Areas as documented on the maps generated by Kitsap County.
A. Map # I-Silverdale Areas In Which New Development Most Significantly
Impacts Recharge and Streams
1. A fundamental axiom of growth management states, "The Land Speaks
First" (RCW.36.70A.110) Ibis map shows significant high impact areas in the extended
study area where the sewer lines exist as well as the entire Barker Creek ecosystem south of
Waaga Way.
2. Integrated planning and natural resource expertise are needed to
accomplish good watershed management. "Whether it is sustainable development, ecosystem
management or watershed management, it pretty much boils down to land use planning. Zoning
requests can no longer have the luxury to be considered in isolation (i.e. site specific) when it is
imperative that the entire watershed be considered." (Non Point Education for Municipal Officials,
USDA Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service)
3 . "We recognize Kitsap County must plan for and accommodate
growth...in large part growth that is occurring because people recognize and appreciate the
quality of life in Washington..in large part
derived from our precious salmon, marine life and shellfish resources. A fundamental overriding
concern for WDFW is that local government not assume that merely protecting critical areas will
adequately protect foodfish and shellfish. In our view, the protection of fish. and shellfish
through GMA plans and regulations will not be achieved if the plans and regulations rely solely
upon the identification and protection of critical areas within themselves, independent of
surrounding land use and its impacts. The key is to address their needs and impacts from an
ecosystem perspective." (Letter dated March 16, 1994 from WDFW to Director, Kitsap County Dept. of
Community Development.) .
B. Map #2- Wildlife Habitat
1. Clearly shows that the Barker Creek corridor is still a very important
riparian zone for wildlife. However, it would be more accurate if the information included
inventories performed at ground level.
2. "Another corridor runs from Dogfish Bay west of Keyport, south to the
northeast shore of Dyes Inlet along Barker Creek. The corridor alignment in this area is very
"spidery" given the presence of such distinct north/south tributary streams, the importance of
Barker Creek to fisheries resources, and the large wetland complex present along Waaga Way.
This corridor also connects to Port Orchard Inlet to the East of Brownsville, thereby providing an
overland movement corridor from Dyes Inlet to Port Orchard." (Kitsap County Open Space Plan,

1. This map shows a Priority # 1 Eagle Habitat at Island Lake.
2. The area being considered for more intense development shows hydric
soils,
moderate geological hazard areas and major wetlands especially in the area directly north and
south ofWaaga Way.
3. "Some critical areas such as wetlands and fish and wildlife habitat
conservation areas may constitute ecosystems that transcend the boundaries of individual parcels
and jurisdictions so that it is necessary to address the protection of their structure, function and
value on a larger scale (such as a watershed)"

buildingJimitations,pdt)
D. Map # 4 - Aquifer Recharge Areas.
1. The entire area directly north and south of W aaga Way is designated as
aquifer recharge areas of concern with highly permeable soils.
2. "The Barker Creek drainage is designated as the non-urban environment
that separates the Bremerton and Silverdale long term growth areas. This drainage feature is not
only a valuable ecological resource, it retains a vestige of the natural systems that prevailed
across East Bremerton until urbanization took hold in the 1970s. It also provides open space as a
balance to the expanding urban area, as specified by the Growth Management Act". (Excerpt
from the Bremerton Comprehensive Plan)
(http://www.kitsapgov.com/dcd/gis/maps/environmentall Aquifer_Recharge _ Areas. pdt)
E. Map # 5 - Surficial Geology(QV A -QVR only)Barker Creek Watershed
The importance of the impermeable soils and infiltration factors need to
be protected as noted in the following scientific studies:
1) The Vashon aquifer(Qva) is composed of advance glacial outwash, which generally is a
well-sorted deposit of gravelly sands with occasional lenses offme-grained mataerial(Cox, S.E.
2003)
2) Outwash deposits (both advance and recessional) compose the vast majority of permeable
sediments found across the Lowland. They permit rapid infiltration and groundwater movement
and therefore due to the importance of the impermeable soils infiltration, aquifer rechargee, and
groundwater supply characteristics -it needs to be protected.

F. Map # 6 -Sewer Lines
1. The sewer lines that extend through the study area out to the
Brownsville station were installed for the utilization of the development along Ridgetop and the
Silverdale areas. The existence of these sewer lines running across Barker Creek at Waaga Way
is not an automatic reason for extensive development in this area. On the contrary, the numerous
environmental concerns indicated on all the previous maps override the merits of using this
sewer line for additional development purposes.

Location: The Barker Creek corridor/watershed (2528acres with approx. 5.5. miles of streams) to include the area
west of Central Valley Road from Island Lake Road to Fairgrounds Road and east of the Ridgetop Development
down to Tracyton Blvd. at Barker Creek Road..
(Attachment # 1,. Map of Barker Creek watershed)
Zooin,: Rural Residential (J du per 5 acres) to remain in areas so designated.
Urban Restricted to remain in areas so designated.
However, a maximum of lot sizes ranging from one to two and one-half acres are also consistent with the
majority of historic zoning in the Barker Creek corridor. The Growth Management Hearings Board in the
Bremerton v. Kitsap County decision recognized the need for protection of critical areas within an urban growth
area (BremertoD v. Kitsap County, CPSGMHB No. 95-3-0039). Therefore, the County would be on safe groUnd
setting the maximum densitY as lot sizes ranging from one to two and one-halfacres.
Tracking the zoning and Critical Areas Ordinance with the Comprehensive Plan is necessary to provide consistency
among the County's comprehensive plan, the Silverdale Sub-Area Plan and regulations to ensure the public is fully
aware of the protections provided to a critical area.
Proposed Use: ,
Wildlife Preserve Corridor. Emphasis should be placed as an interconnecting corridor for wildlife movement and on
permanent protection for an environmentally sensitive salmon stream.
Property owners are very adamant that they do not want a long walkinglbiking trail along the creek system. Rather
they would prefer a corridor which includes wildlife habitat and inaccessible to the public for trail systems, Their
contention is that there already is a well established creek-side trail at Clear Creek ~d a bike tra,ilalong Trigger

I. Le,al Reasons
A. Environmentally ~ritical areas must be desifnated and nrotected.lRCW. 36.70A010nO).

The designation and protection of critical areas is the first formal step required in implementing the GMA for two
reasons:
1. to exclude critical areas from urban growth designation and
. ' 2. to preven~ irreversible environmental harm while comprehensive plans and implementing development
'regulations were prepared.
loan oft-quoted passage, the Central Growth Management Hearings Board explained:
"It is significant that the Act required Cities and counties to identitY and conserve resource lands and to identitY and

CReW 37.70A.160) "Key Counties and Cities must identify open space corridors within and between urban growth
areas. Open Space includes such open space lands useful for recreation, habitat and trails, and critical lands. "
Leaving the Barker Creek corridor, as described above ,out of either Bremerton, Central Kitsap or Silverdale UGAs
, would provide ~ environmental buffer between city limits. By agreement among Bremerton and Kitsap County, the
Barker Creek corridor separator would provide long-term certainty about each community's ultimate growth without
the need for either Bremerton or the proposed city of Silverdale to "push" its respective UGA in the short terms to .
protect future interests.

B. The Barker Creek corridor has been identified as an environmentally sensitive area for the
rollowin~ reasons:
1. As the second most productive salmon stream in the Dyes Inlet watershed, it should be
protected as a fish and wildlife conservation ~ea primarily to preserve and maintain
ecological functions and values. lRCW.36.70A.030(20): WAC 365-190-080(1).(5)
2. There are major wetlands identified along this stream corridor. "Some critical areas such as
wetlands and fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas may constitute ecosystems that
transcend the boundaries of individual parcels and jurisdictions, so that it is necessary
to address the protection of their ~cture, function and values on a larger scale (such

This area could be classified as a wildlife habitat conservation area as well as a designated aquifer recharge area.
The Barker Creek corridor fulfills many of the components traditionally associated with a Greenbelt;
a) It connects parks at Island Lake and at the Fairgrounds near the entrance to Dyes Inlet.
b) It provides active recreational opportunities for the residents ofKitsap County, i.e. stadium; pavilion;
athletic fields; RV parking areas; buildingslbarns for annual fair activities.
( c) It provides natural resource areas including salmon (coho, chum, chinook, cutthroat and rainbow trout)
streams, underground springs and tributalies, wetlands, aquifer recharge areas, bird and wildlife
habitat and a significant estuary ( Kitsao County Reful!ia Studv and Limiting Factors
Analvsis)
d) It provides environmental education sites at Anna Smith Park and Three Springs Outdoor classroom.
3. There are documented aquifer recharge areas in this ecosystem. (wAC 365-190-080(2)
4. There are geologically hazardous areas within this watershed which are protected primarily to
prevent loss of property and human life caused by inappropriate development and development
in inappropriate areas. Areas along the Barker Creek corridor have already been susceptible to
erosion, sliding and major land movements that makes development unsuitable in this area.

COlJNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
In order for our County Comprehensive Plan to be successful and to
be in compliance with the goals of the Growth Management Act, I believe
that we need our County leaders to provide us with:
An overall plan that projects a vision of what Kitsap County could and
should be 50-100 years from now. We presently live in a County which
has spectacular scenery, lakes, streams and forests. So far, we have
had the luxury of taking our water resources for granted, not having to
worry about the quantity or quality of water for ourselves nor for
the natural habitat whether it be the shellfish on the beaches or the eagles in
the highest crags. However, I am not convinced that our leadership has
established an overall plan to protect these very things that we advertise
as the reasons for Kitsap County to be a liveable place. With no strong
leadership provided us, ( whether we be those who wish to
protect the natural environment or those who wish to develop every
possible acre), it becomes a war front with everyone choosing camps
hoping that those who speak the loudest will win favor with those who
have the power to make the decisions. However, - I believe that the Growth _ ,
Management Act is meant to protect the quality of our lifestyles and the '
health of our enyironment for future generations. I exhort our County
leaders to establish a plan for the future of Kitsap County that will assure
its citizens:
Of a comprehensive plan and a critical areas ordinance which will have as its
highest priority the protection of water quality for all its inhabitants.
Of Zoning regulations that do not become a numbers game for monetary
purposes, but a ~eans.by which the County is developed within the
standards set to maintain its present natural beauty for the aesthetical and,
re.creational needs of its citizens as well as protection from _pollutants and
destructive elements to our health.
That the development of designated urban areas undergo the scrutiny of
o an Environmental Checklist treated as a comprehensive. respected and
truthful document by which determinations of signficance and/or.
non signficance will be based on thorough research performed
by respected experts rather than the present cavalier approach of allowing
the applicant to fill in the blanks with little or no follow up from the
Department of Community Development as to the veracity of its statements,
or how the reams of paperwork on a project do not relate to the realities
of the actual site.
,~.
.4tl;
~
We need leaders who give us a sense that they appreciate the value of
our natural resources for the health of its citizens as well as an appreciation
that the present natural beauty of this County provides a wholesome lifestyle
for its populace. We need leaders who don't make decisions based on
the. greed and power of forces who have no vested interest in the future J
of this County. \
We. need leaders who are not threatened by the standards as set forth in the
. I
Growth Management Act and can actually utilize it as a means of protecting
and preserving all that Kitsap County provides its citizens.'
And most importantly, we need leaders who truly realize that the decisions
they make now will have a profound impact on the health and welfare of
future generations.

RE: Draft Environmental Impact Statement
On behalf of the Churns of Barker Creek citizens' group, I am submitting
the following comments:
There are several significant environmental impacts, alternatives and
mitigation measures which our organization feels heed?to be addressed
and analyzed in the EIS. Pursuant to WAC 197-11-440 EIS contents,
reasonable alternatives to the proposed plan shall be included and
analyzed. We question whether any of the present alternatives being
considered by the county satisfies the requirement set out in
WAC 197-11-440(5') (b), that "Reasonable alternatives (shall') include
actions that could feasibly attain or approximate a proposal's
objectives, but at lower environmental:_ costs or decreased level of
environmental degradation." We strongly suggest that an additional
alternative(suggested by other groups as well), one which presents
significantly less impact to the environment than any of the existing
alternatives, be considered and addressed in the EIS. Otherwise,
the EIS will be a seriously flawed study and one which we will not be
able to accept. W~ recommend that this alternative be described in
terms of the following objective: "The rehabilitation and infill of
existing incorporated areas of Kitsap County, in particular the city
of Bremerton." We believe that this alternative., stated in such terms,
is the best means of accomplishing the stated planning goals of:
(1) encouraging development in urban areas where adequate public
facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner,
(2)reducing the iP,9ppropriate conversion of undeveloped land into
sprawling, low-density development, (3) maintaining and enhancing
natural resource-based industries, including productive timber,
agricultural, and fisheries industries, (4) conserving fish and wild-
life habitat, (5) protecting the environment and enhancing the county's
high quality of life, including air and water quality and the availa-
bility of water.
Furthermore, pursuant to RCW 36.70A.060(3), which requires Kitsap
County to review its critical area designation and development regula-
tions when adopting its comprehensive plan, we think it appropriate
to include in the EIS an analysis of the conservation and mitigation
measures found in the Strategies for Critical Areas Designations and
Interim Development Regulations, ,a report adopted by Kitsap County
December 1991, designed to protect Kitsap County's wetlands, aquifer
recharge and fish and wildlife habitat areas. Evaluation of these
designations and regulations will be helpful in determining the

effectiveness and impact of the mitigative measures accompanying the
proposed comprehensive plan and its alternatives presently under
evaluation. If adopted in Final form, without amendments, the so-called
interim development regulations will have a significant negative impact
on the critical areas found in Kitsap County. The EIS should recognize
and address this issue and offer specific recommendations for improving
these designations and regulations or suggest alternatives which are to
be used to implement the comprehensive plan.
In addition, the EIS should consider and address the following:
(1) The restoration/rehabilitation of substandard housing and under-
utilized commercial districts in urban, incorporated areas. What
special measures are required/necessary to encourage/promote this
objective, the effect of such action on urban centers such'ias the
city of Bremerton and on County/Unincorporated areas. The conse-
quences of not doing so. Effect of decreasing total size of urban
growth areas and replacing with more rural and suburban designa-
tions on the restorations and rehabilitation of u~ban centers.
Effect of not doing so. Relate land use designation to projected
population increase and allocation.
(2) Calculate the projected costs00f providing services/infrastructures~
etc. for new development and redevelopment in Bremerton vs. unin-
corpo~ated, rural and urban growth areas. Cost up front for building
in Bremertbn/incorporated areas vs. the defferred costs to taxpayers
for developing in unincorporated/undeveloped/fertile land.
(3) Determine what effect the increased impervious surfaces and the
increased water demand resulting from the projected growth will
have on aquifers. Consideration should be given not only to the
total quantity of water available, butlalso to the lowering of the
groundwater level, since lowering of the groundwater level can
reduce flow in creeks, dry up ponds and lakes, and impact wetlands
and private wells.
(4) What specific mitigating measures are required/necessary to protect
the salmon from impact of impervious su~faces and other effects of
expanding population? Consequences of not having adequate protection
and enhancement measures.
We suggest the following:
(A) Strictly enforce buffer zones of 100' minimum and restrict zoning
density of properties along and adjacent to fish bearing streams
to no more than one unit per acre.

(B) Encourage and require restoration of substandard/under-utilized
urban incorporated areas and designate less area as urban growth
areas.
(C) Require developer to pay for all costs associated with development,
including costs for open spac~recreation facilities, utilities
~nd services4 schools, etc.(we mean more than impact fees).
(D) Adopt a policy that new development will cause no net lowering
of the groundwater level. This may be accomplished by imposing
limits on impervious surfaces, requiring designs to incorporate
provisions for recharge, setting aside specific areas for recharge
ponds, and other measures that may be developed.

7 A - PUBLIC HEARING AND ORDINANCE NO. 4968. AUTHORIZING EXEMPTIONS FROM AD
VALOREM PROPERTY TAXATION FOR NEW MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING IN DESIGNATED
CENTERS f1TEM WAS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED APRIL 19.2006: AND DISCUSSED AT A
STUDY SESSION MAY 9. 20061 (#AB06-083): Chris HUQo, Community Development Director,
stated that in 1995, the State Legislature passed RCW 84.14 that allows cities of certain size to
create a tax incentive program to induce development of new, multi-family housing within
designated urban centers. The incentive is a 1 O-year waiver of all new property tax on new or
rehabilitated buildings that create four or more housing units. Bremerton has been eligible to
enact this program for many years. With the adoption of the 2004 Comprehensive Plan,
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
Wednesday, July 5, 2006
Page 3 of 4
incorporating a new growth strategy based on centers, the City is well staged to utilize this
incentive. The proposed ordinance enables the waiver, establishes administrative procedures, and
defines eligible districts.
Chris Rafterv owner of the 400 Condominiums along Washington Boulevard, provided his support
of the ordinance and was proud to be part of the revitalization efforts.
J.J. McCament had experience with multi-family housing programs in Tacoma; was very
supportive of the making the tax exemption an available option to the developers; and suggested
1) designating City Center Residential as a "residential targeted area" and include all areas zoned
CCR in an urban center and 2) including for-rent residential in the multi-family tax exemption
program.
Patty Lent, Chair of Kitsap County Consolidated Housing Authority, provided her support of the
program but asked Council to amend the ordinance to include language regarding apartments and
rental properties.
John Stephanus, owner of the Bremerton Gardens Apartments, supported previous comments;
and believed that this exemption would allow improvement of existing units and development of
new affordable rental housing.
06:16:48 Main Motion M/S (Brockus/Maupin) Move to pass Ordinance No. 4968 to provide
exemptions from ad valorem property taxation for new multi-family housing in designated urban
centers of the City. Main Motion was made and seconded, but vote was not taken...
06:17:02 Amending-Motion M/S (Maupin/Wofford) Move to add language regarding 3.78.020 (e)
such that permanent residential occupancy means multi-unit housing that provides either rental or
owner occupancy on a non-transient basis. This includes owner-occupied or rental
accommodation that is leased for a period of at least one (1) month. This excludes hotels and
motels that predominantly offer rental accommodation on a daily or weekly basis." Amending
Motion was made and seconded, but vote was not taken...
06:20:42 M/S/C (Arends/Shepherd) Move to postpone Ordinance No. 4968 indefinitely.
Voted in favor of Motion: Robinson, Arends, Gehring, Shepherd, McConnell
Voted against Motion: Maupin, Wofford, Brockus

COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS

SALE OF CITY PROPERTY
FROM TRENTON AVENUE TO JACOBSEN BOULEVARD
ENGINEERING STAFF REPORT
PREPARED BY: Gunnar Fridriksson
DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION
Two twelve foot property strips, lying end to end connecting Trenton Avenue at 13th
Street with Jacobsen Boulevard.
BACKGROUND
-.,
The City of Bremerton purchased two twelve (12) foot wide parcels from property
owners in 1952 for construction of a trail. The trail was to have been a connector from
Trenton Avenue to Jacobsen Boulevard. The trail was never constructed and
subsequent property owners, from whence the original parcels were purchased, have
encroached onto the City properties. The current property owners have requested the
City to reconvey the property back to the originating parcels.
CONSIDERATIONS
Several issues were considered by staff before making a decision. These issues and
the staff position are:
Whether the trail may at some point may be useful to the public and should
the property be held for that purpose.
The City of Bremerton has not developed a non-motorized transportation plan to
this date. However, as Jacobsen Boulevard does not have any public waterfront
amenities, it is highly unlikely this trail would be developed by the City.
Additional considerations:
· The close proximity of the adjacent dwellings and improvements would
make it difficult to construct and maintain the property as a trail.
· Grade for the east portion of the trail to Jacobsen is 20%, making access
difficult. Rather than a straight pathway, a meandering or weaving path
would be the better alternative and allow ADA access, but would not be
constructible with the current size of the property.
June 2006
Sale of city Property from Trenton Avenue to Jacobsen Boulevard
Page 1 of 3
Whether objections to the sale would be made by owners of private property
abutting the same.
The adjacent property owners are the ones requesting the sale of the property,
and seek approval by Council.
COMPEN5A liON
The City of Bremerton owns both parcels in fee title. In accordance with BMC
2.78.010(c), as the only value for the property would be by the abutting owner due to
the size and topography, the City has used the 2006 Kitsap County Assessor's
valuation for the abutting parcels to compute the value. The westerly parcel is 1,800
square feet, and is valued at $9,500. The easterly parcel is 1,545 square feet, and is
valued at $7,600.
,., 5T AFF RECOMMENDA liON
Staff recommends that this property sale be approved and the property returned to the
originating parcels.
Looking easterly from Trenton Avenue at approximately the center of the trail, this would be on
the right of the rock wall in the photograph.

If yes, how many years have you served on this commission/committee?
Why are you applying for this appointment? I feel that I would be a good addition to the Comission,
rounding out the various areas of expertise. I can provide insight into the design principles that cause a public
space to function well. Much of my educational focus has been on the urban planning side of landscape
architecture including extensive research on both successful and unsuccessful public parks and urban plazas.
Which of your personal and/or professional interests prompted you to apply for this appointment? I love
my work as a Landscape Architect, but find that the majority of the projects available to me in this area are both
private and residential. My passion throughout my education and today is to incorporate public space into my
work. I have a strong interest in the democracy of public process and the magic that can be created as a result of
the community coming together to determine our local vernacular and what that should look like. I am
fascinated by the discussion and debate that this process produces and feel that there is a sense of pride and
ownership that emerges when the community is involved in a project. It is the ultimate testament to it's
longevity. I have enjoyed participating in the facilitation of charettes and feel that this is a very effective way to
gain public feedback in an organized manner. I think a good example of an occasion when this process proved
to be a lifesaver was a time when our landscape department was attempting to create a masterplan for the
Lummi reservation incorporating both civic and educational facilities. Our teams proudly arrived to the meeting
with drawings representing our interpretation of how the campus should be layed out only to find, after
receiving feedback via sticky notes on each plan, that some of the assumptions that we had made based on our
o~h experience didn't necessarily apply in other enviroments and cultures. This experiece taught me to listen
well and ask a lot of questions in order to, in most cases, obtain the clients' true vision.
Have you ever served on any other Bremerton Board, Commission, Committee or Task Force? If yes,
please list: Not yet! I have been waiting for the right fit to emerge and I believe this is it.
Please list your qualifications for this appointment (include skills, activities, training, education): I have a
Bachelor's degree in Landscape Architecture from the University of Washington. This program focused heavily
on environmentally sustainable design and urban planning. I have completed LEED training which encompases
the necessary qualifications for a project to be considered a 'green' project. I have experience with managing a
wide range of public and private projects both residential and commercial which have connected me directly to
the local community. I have learned to become a capable 'networker' and have an array of experts who I am
frequently in contact with in the design, plant, and construction world. As a direct result of my time spent
working with my collegues and managing construction on my own projects, I feel that I have a clear
understanding of the steps that it takes to get a project installed in a timely manner. As the sole Landscape
Architect at Olmstead Land Development for the past 2 1/2 years, I now have complete responsibility for
everything from scheduling appointments to putting clients needs on paper, to ensuring that the project is
installed correctly. This has caused me to become a very responsible, organized and adaptable person andfeel,
would be an asset to the Arts Commission.
What are your community interests (committees, organizations, special activities)? I have a strong
connection to my community and absolutely adore living in Bremerton. I have enjoyed participating in the Arts
Council Mother's Day Tea benefit for several years. I am the creator and organizer of the annual Manette
Community Flea Market which includes local businesses and community members. I have been a loyal
participant of the First Friday Bremerton Art walk for years, both as an artist and a patron. I am currently
working on forming a committee that will spearhead .an annual tradition of hosting the Bremerton Garden Tour.

Date: July 5, 2006
Re: StaffRea1ignment in Parks and Recreation
At your July 12th study session, I will bring forward a recommendation to eliminate the
Administrative Analyst position and use that funding to hire a Park Development Planner,
which will be an exempt, professional level position within the Parks and Recreation
Department. It is anticipated there will be an initial savings of approximately $7,000 per year
due to the difference between the current pay rate of the Administrative Analyst and Step one
(1) pay of Band 11 for the Park Development Planner. These excess funds will be used to pay
for additional seasonal maintenance labor.
After reviewing the Department's current needs, which include completing a backlog of
facility improvement projects, I b~lieve it is essential to bring a person on board that has the
knowledge and ability to obtain permits, bid small works projects, and carefully oversee the
work of contractors to ensure that the work is accomplished according to specifications. The
proposed Park Development Planner will also possess the required knowledge, skill and
ability td assist the City in preparing a series of long-range plans including the Park and
Recreation Comprehensive Plan update that is due in June of 2007, as well as the Master
planning of major parks including NAD and Forest Ridge. The Park Development Planner
will also be responsible for assisting in the upgrade of the maintenance of City parks by
completing an inventory of assets, including their current condition and developing plans for
preventive maintenance and\or renovation of these items. Performance of this critical asset
inventory and the ability to expand it forward into a multi-year renovation plan is truly
necessary to extend the useable life of facilities and to prevent expensive replacement. The
Park Development Planner will help the Department procure grant funds through public and
private sources, and equally important, he or she will have the skill in computer-aided design
to help Bremerton improve the aesthetic quality of park improvements made with
Commmuty Development Block Grant fimds, IAC funds and other sources.
I believe that the addition of a position that has skills in park design, construction
management and grant procurement is extremely important to both the current and future
needs of the Parks and Recreation Department and I look forward to speaking with you
concerning this matter.
