Staff Present: Dana Barnard, Lori Barnett and Nick Gerde. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE ACTION ITEMS 09-03-13 Review of recommended changes to the Regional Shoreline Master Program based on results of the Department of Ecology Review. Community Development Director, Lori Barnett, provided a complete copy of the Department of Ecology (DOE) comments, letters and attachments regarding the review to the Regional Shoreline Master Program to City Councilmembers. She presented Council with a draft letter of response prepared by her in response to some of the conditions recommended by the DOE. She said once the DOE receives our answer to those recommendations the DOE has the authority to adopt what they believe it should say, regardless of the recommendations by the City or the County. Ms. Barnett reviewed each section of the document in her letter of response to the DOE. She said in Section IB.050(B) the DOE is asking us to increase our buffers and to also change the way we are doing the buffers. She explained that the DOE has three different types of doing buffers: Alternative 1 is a width based standard buffer based upon the category of wetland; Alternative 2 is a width based on the wetland category and the intensity of impacts from the proposed land use; and Alternative 3 is width based upon the wetland category, the intensity of the proposed land use, and the value or function of the wetland. The proposed text change is not consistent with any of those three alternatives since it mixes "low" and "moderate" intensity development into one category. Ms. Barnett said the Committee selected buffer Alternative 1. Therefore that would be her recommendation. She noted that the buffer widths for other jurisdictions do not appear to be a concern to DOE even though they are similar to East Wenatchee's buffer widths. Ms. Barnett said the DOE recommended increasing the buffer widths as follows: DOE Recommendation Wetland Type Low - Moderate Intensity Development High Intensity Development Wetland Type 1 150 Feet 250 Feet Wetland Type 2 100 Feet 200 Feet Wetland Type 3 75 Feet 150 Feet Wetland Type 4 50 Feet 50 Feet 1 1101D Al!D pauu.uug uuuQ FM w-d rL—L!\infav (pouiulsqu uosugof) '0-S `poureo uoilow oql •wuu2otd ialsuw auiloiogS luuoi2a-d oql of SPIUS01 glinm possnosip su safuugo popuawwoom s,noloog 3o IuauuluudaQ all of osuodsau jo .uallal oql anojddu of `I.unoO W aagwowpounoO , q puooas `iotgong .uagwawluounoO ,.q opuw suns uoilow d :uonoV llaunoj •gpQ oql of asuodsau jo .uaual oql ui apuw suoilupuaww000.1 Bululuwal oql llinm pooBu pounoO •wu.0 wd ialsuW ouilojogS aql of gouoiddu luuoi2ai all uaanmlaq lualsisuoo oq of osuodsaa u uo f4unoO sul2noCl glinm 31.uonm of o lil Pinonm aqs small asagl jo awos uo lugl poluls aqS •sluownoop oql jo suoiloas Suiuiuwau oql uo osuodsau jo aallal oqljo iapuitnuoi oql panmainau liaung -SW (pouiulsqu uosugof) •0-S `poinvo uoilow oqs •lunutW aluiS uol2uigsuM spuullo JO nt,�jjnq doplau of `qwd jogwowliounoO Xq puooas `.uawwaag aagwatupounoO Xq opuw suns uogow d :uoilad llaunoj (pouiulsqu uosugof) 'S-0 `palit,3 uoilow oqZ •ouilauogs oql loolaid lou pinonm aajjnq 2uilsixo oql lugl pauiuuolop su ii ji glpinm iajjnq oql osuoloui of put, sglpinm iojjnq oql aonpoi `sglpinm lajjnq oql o2woAu of /4!unpoddo oql nmollu pinonm sigl pappu aqS •,,suolu ouilauogs„ of Xiddu fquo luownoop sigl ui spuullanm io3 sglpinm jojjnq oql lugi pouiuldxa aqS •popuudxa oianm sglpinm iojjnq ogl.ii puullanm jo Xio2oluo oql uodn pasuq .uajjnq p.uupuuls pasuq glpinm u si goignm `oouaioS olquliund lsag oql Aq polaoddns aq pinonm I aniluu.calld' l anuluu.talid Suisn uagnm OS Put, `OSi `OOZ `OSZ spuawwoo3i gpQ all Aq lunuuyg olt,iS uol2uigsuM u► spuullaM oq.L •aou=S olquliund lsag oql oq of saapisuoo gOQ lugs ouilop!a oql glinm lualsisuoouu ose outloiogs oql ui osn ioj poldopu aalliwwoD agl lt,gl sglpinm iojjnq oql lugl pouiuldxo llauaug •sw •uoulupuawwooa.0 aalltwwoo luuu2uo all anoiddu of `.uawwaug .uagwawliounoD Aq puooas `s3l3iapuaH iogw3wI!ounoO Xq opuw suns uoilow d :uoilad liaunoj 'aoua.zaJJip u S33luw alon siq ssalun to ail u sum a.uall ssalun Buivana sigl 2uilon oq lou pinonm oq pius uosugof azodwa,L oad ioXuW •sllpinm aajjnq all of sp.
