a i g Co e The Greater Hansville Community Plan is consistent with the Kitsap County Comprehensive Plan, and establishes additional policy direction through specialized goals and policies for the Greater Hansville Area. Upon adoption by the Board of County Commissioners, the GHA Community Plan becomes a component of the Kitsap County Comprehensive Plan. Selected portions of the GHA Community Plan are physically inserted as a stand-alone chapter within Neighborhood Plans portion of the County Comprehensive Plan, and portions not inserted remain valid by reference. Future updates to the Greater Hansville Community Plan shall amend either the stand-alone version of the originally-adopted community plan, and associated portions of the County Comprehensive Plan as necessary.
u ic a ici a io Information-gathering and outreach for the County-facilitated portion of the planning process was conducted with assistance from a citizen planning committee. The committee was chaired by a member of GHAAC who provided regular status updates to that group. Below is a list of DCD- sponsored workshops, meetings, and presentations relating to plan development. Public participation information specific to each planning phase is contained within corresponding parts of this plan.

• a ues Su ey e o o ok 17 • I o uc io In 2004, volunteers in the Greater Hansville Area (GHA) began the process of developing a Plan or Vision for the future of an area that includes the geographic end of the Kitsap Peninsula from Eglon and Cliffside north (see map on next page). This effort will require both a comprehensive knowledge of the area as it exists today and some idea of its history. Trends, or the "way things are going" will help us define what the future will look like if we don't intervene. A comprehensive description of the Greater Hansville Area and trends will be contained in a Community Profile document. Using that document, a "Planning Committee" of area residents will create a picture of what the GHA willok- -,..., like in the future. But how will we know if we will like that picture of the future? The only way to know that is to
be clear about what we as a community value about living here!,Once we are clear about the values of the Greater Hansville Area, the Planning Committee can ask, "Whkwould the Greater
Hansville Area look like in the future if all the things we - 6lue,,a k realized? This becomes the future the area prefers or the "Preferred Future." /
Once these two "pictures" of the future are completed;\the•Planning Committee can F2nipare the two of them to see where they agree with each other and where the Likely Futureris different from the Preferred Future. At that point, the community can decide what to do about the differences. Some will be minor, but others may be significant and require \action to change the parts of the Likely Future that we don't like or want. Creation of the Preferred Future requires knov,Ong the,coinmunity's,values. The best way to get
that information is to survey the community. This docuirientjka"- report of such a survey that was mailed to residents in December of 2004. This was not a "scientific" survey that only went to a random sample of residents Instéad, the committee felt it made sense to give everyone in the area a chance to respond. accordingly, the ,'survey was mailed as an insert to the December 2004 Hansville Log to all posta pti=ofis in the 98340 zip code. Separate first-class mailings went to all owners of residential property owners ou si e the 98340 zip code, notably Cliffside and Eglon. Since owner§ of mans residential properties actually live in other cities or states, they also received the survey by first class mail Altogether, almost 2,600 surveys went out to area
residents and owners of resiClenti,i1prop erties in the GHA. In order to control costs, respondents were asked to pay return postage or drop off completed surveys at the Post Office, Hansville Store or Driftwood Key Clubhouse. Altogether, 386 surveys were returned. This amounts to a 15% return rate which seemed quite reasonable given the low budget for the effort and the time of year the survey was ,e111 out The results seem to be representative of each of the "neighborhoods" in the Greater Hansville Area. More details about the survey are contained in Appendix A, but one word about processing of the survey is in order. This was largely an open-ended survey, which means respondents wrote their own answers; it wasn't possible to just add up the votes for each item. For each question, all the responses were studied and put into logical groupings. Survey results report responses by those groups. Not all responses were an exact fit, and judgments were required about appropriate treatment of each response. Nevertheless, we believe that the categories fairly reflect survey • results. The actual comments of each respondent to each question are contained in Appendix B. a ues Su ey e o 1

Three hundred eighty six individuals responded, representing 826 residents. Since this was not a "scientific" random survey, the question was "How close do the respondents match the 2000 census figures for the area?

Household members are overstated since, in some cases, more than one member of a household responded. Comparing census data to those who actually completed questionnaires removes this problem. Children 0-9 years of age are also removed from both the survey and census data since they wouldn't be expected to complete the survey. Comparing the results shows that residents under 49 were under-represented in the survey respondents while those 50 and older were over- • represented compared to the 2000 census. a ues Su ey e o 3

Most of the questions in the survey were open-ended. There was concern about whether or not people would take the time to fill out a survey that demanded so much more than a typical multiple-choice questionnaire. Well, folks took the time and had a lot to say. The detailed analysis is contained in Appendix C. Survey results are summarized here.
W a is goo a ou e a ea?
When asked the open ended question of "In your opinion, what is the 7t important thing that makes this a special place to live?"
• 63% noted the rural, beautiful natural surroundings. • 16% valued the sense of community.
These themes were repeated throughout the rest of the.Survey. \- Respondents were asked if they thought things would get better worse in th)/future. Sixty- two percent said they thought things would get worse While only 38% thought they would get better. There did not seem to be differences<- by age in this question. In fact, the oldest respondent who was 95 said things would get better and"several respondents, in-their late teens thought things
would get worse! Virtually all (93%) of those WI thought things wuld>get worse cited growth and issues associated with growth like increased traffie and loss of iural character. Almost 37% of those who thought things would get better cited the sense of community and involvement in the
community. Four other reasons -noted by those Who/think things will get better included people working to improve and preserve natural areas (1Q%), increased amenities that will come with growth (16%), anclbelief that better planning will manage growth better (14%), and involvement in citizen effortS such as, this Futures p`rojeCt (8%). Next, respondents were asked to`pick 7 qualities of life that are most important from a list of 21 - --- choices. The .top chokes were:
• Peace and tranquility • Clean,\natural environment protected for future generations
• Rural character of the al ea • Minimum of traffic congestion • Feeling of perSOnarsafety in my neighborhood • Scenic views 4 • A feeling of genuine community among residents
The six items that ranked lowest included:
• Variety of arts and cultural events and programs • Assisted living for the elderly and handicapped • Community support and involvement of youth • Good jobs within a reasonable commute • • Small-scale, multi-unit residences

The survey analysis in Appendix C indicates that respondents noted:
• Access to water/fishing • Neighbors being considerate • The need for good public transportation • Good emergency services
Because there were a large number of responses that did not fit into arAqiese categories, a more detailed analysis was conducted and showed that respondents also KO (ed the following:
■ The need for strong land-use controls to manage and li it bothh the total amount and nature of growth. There is a preference for maintaining the rural character of the area. ■ A sense of community where people work togethriti -huild the community and care about their neighbors ■ e ee o ese e wi i e a i a i i g-c oseA important) o wi i e is ■ Over 10% cited the need for better transit and y fesejvjce: -C,oncern was expressed about the cost of ferry service and the need for transit connections to the ferries. ■ Roads were a concern, ranging friti maintenance tofheileed for new roads to concerns about traffic safety. \ \----„, .----,_ ■ A common desire was for more walkihg trai ls-and bike paths. ncreased shoulder widths on roadways was cited as a need. /- "-- • Access to the water and-be aches was a priority. • The need to retain-and expand fishing and boating opportunities was noted by several respondents. • A need for medical c re facilities that are close
Many of these items-reflect the to seven selection from the list of 21 qualities noted above.

All neighborhoodere similar in th eir responses to these topics except that Point No Point Road I. heavily favored peace and tran uility while Hansville seemed to favor it less. Also, Driftwood ,, / Key/Shore Woods la ored nicsce views more than the Eglon area. \ „, When asked w a eo e wou miss mos i ey e they said: • Views and beauty (20%) • Water views and access (18%) • Privacy, peace and quiet (2 1%) • Natural environment (12%) • The people (13%) • Sense of community (7%)
Once again, these themes are consistent with answers to the other questions in the survey.

• Inadequate growth management (15.7%) • Lack of neighborhood businesses (10.9%) • Speeding, unsafe traffic (8.2%)
The growth management and traffic responses are consistent with answers to other questions. The lack of neighborhood businesses is mentioned occasionally in response to other questions but not as intensely as here.
Other items received lower but roughly equal number of responses and included inadequate public safety services, inadequate medical services, lack/, of senior housing and services, lack of bicycle/walking paths, power outages, trailer living,/s/ all-tow thinking and gossip, limited recreational facilities for children, lack of boat-lauric facilities and disagreements over community issues. About one-third of the responses di ot-fall into any of these Categories. •

W y wou we ea e? • Respondents were then asked what might cause them to leave the area. The top four responses, comprising almost 74% of the responses, were:
• Health and/or old age, lack of health services (29%) • Over-development (20.7%) • Nothing (13%) • Higher taxes (10.8%)
The health/old age response is consistent with prior responses in which people cite the lack of nearby quality medical care. The over-development response contSuethe theme that permeates all \ responses beginning with the very first question. The higherxes t / resp7 se reflects isolated answers to other questions where folks indicate concern but ri sing taxethe quality of services they are receiving. Of nine other categories, onlyitaffic with 5.6%\stands out.

Finally, respondents were asked to look iritotheluture and note 'the things that should be
preserved or changed to make the quality\a -likin-the GreaterHan/sille Area better. The top three categories of responses were:
• Preserve, rural smartowtiënvironment— 19;7%) • • Preserve the natu‘ren v--itOnMent (18.8%) • Stop/control gr/owti- (16. 1v )
Four other categories-of response§fliat-equal another 15.6% in total, include preserving peace and tranquilitv.,-preseig-,sensofh.eighborhood, preserving the Greenway, and ecologically sound growth,/ and are very similar \to the,three\ responses above. Added to the categories above, / <. \ s-----7 this mews that almost 90)\of4esponses favored the core themes of this entire survey: concern \ \ \ ) / about growthk\the need to preserve the rural nature of the area, and the need to preserve the natural environment.
How respondents see\theluture did not vary with the age, the length of time they have lived here, or their income.
a ues Su ey e o • ow o ese es o ses Com a e Wi es o ses i e as ? A survey of 289 households in the Hansville area was conducted in 1976. A comparison of the demographics of the 1976 group surveyed and the group reporting in 2005 is attached in Appendix D. A copy of the actual survey results is contained in Appendix E. The comparison shows that, other than some age differences, the two groups were quite similar. A comparison of respondents to the 1976 and 2005 surveys is shown below.

Most efforts like this rely on paid professionals to prepare the Community Profile. We felt that, in the best GHA tradition, we had the talent to do it with volunteers. In addition, if we did it ourselves we would learn a lot more about the area than if a report was simply handed to us. We learned a lot — including next time to hire the professionals!

Before European exploration and settlement forever changed their lifeways, the S'Klallam people exercised a socially complex way of life with each other, other tribes, and the landscape. White settlers arrived to claim land even before the Treaty of Point No Point was ratified by Congress in 1859, transferring ownership from the S'Klallam to the federal government.
One of these settlers, Captain Josiah P. Keller, tribal culture through the building of the arrived in Port Gamble to start the Puget Sound "House of Knowledge" complex. As Mill Company in 1853.

Testimonials from tribal elders convey emotional stories that included • being forcibly moved to the reservation, watching their villages being burned to the ground, and having no land to call their own.
Under the provisions of the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, the federal government purchased 1,234 acres of land from the mill company in 1938 for the reservation. New homes were built, the Port Gamble S'Klallam adopted a constitution, and the S'Klallam received payment for their claims against the United States in 1977. The effect of the judgment was that the tribe paid for its own reservation and received less than one dollar per acre for some of the most valuable waterfront real estate in the country.
Today the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe is a sovereign nation directly adjoining the southeastern boundary of the GHA. The tribe has embarked on an ambitious resurrection of • Commu i y o i e — is o y 6 Ea y egi i gs — e oi o oi ig S a io

In choosing what demographic data to include in this profile of the Greater Hansville Area (GHA) we asked a number of questions about the nature of our community. ■ How has the population changed in the following categories: total number of residents, their age, sex, ethnicity, economic status and education? ■ Do the residents own their own homes or do they rent? ■ Are they full-time or seasonal members of the community? ■ How long have they resided in the GHA? ■ Is the local population growth due to in-migration or due to local growth? ■ Where do people work?

Residents think of the Greater Hansville Area (GHA) GHA as an unincorporated rural area, yet it is regulated by several layers of government including Federal, State and Kitsap County.
Government has basically three components: 1) governance, i.e., making law and policy, 2)
regulation or the enforcement of laws and regulations, 3) direct serviceS such as roads, schools, policing, etc. While Federal and State governments provide many serices„ the services that are most visible to residents of the Greater Hansville Area are provided by Kitsap County and the special districts that serve the area.
This chapter outlines the ways in which government agencies and entities affect the GHA; and the services that directly benefit the GHA.
This chapter also discusses other elements of interest to GHA residents. First the opportunity for citizen involvement with each level of government or agency, and where citizens serve in an advisory capacity to a government agency. Second, access to information provided by each level of government, and how technology makes information more,accessibk. , , Taxes and fees are discussed for each unit of local government that serves the area.
Finally, the chapter deScribes the types of organizations that exist in the GHA and discusses options for possible future "local gOvernance".

Description and Impact
The federal government's influence is pervasive in our everyday lives. Federal legislation and regulations apply uniforMly to all states and set the parameters, in many cases, in which both states and local governments must operate. In cases where the federal government does not have the explicit ability to regulate behavior, it often accomplishes the same result by attaching conditions on receipt of federal funds.
Federal regulations and service programs are often implemented through lower levels of government including states, counties and cities. For example, while much of the social support network is created by the federal government, it is often delivered by either state or county • Commu i y o i e — Go e a ce a a es 2 agencies. Given the socio-economic status of those in the GHA, GHA residents are less likely • than others to receive direct federal services. Federal agencies that have the greatest impact on the GHA deal mostly with the environment, land use and education. Decline in fish populations have led to stronger roles for federal agencies in regulating and managing wetlands and shorelands. These regulations limit the amount and nature of development that can occur in such areas. In some cases, like dredging of the Driftwood Key Marina and restoration of the Point No Point Resort Boat Launch, these regulations can make it difficult merely to continue historic activities. Designation of increasing numbers of aquatic species as endangered limits traditional use of the waters surrounding the GHA. Federal agencies involved are the Department of Environmental Protection, Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The Federal government has initiated many new requirements that affect local schools. Most notable are the No Child Left Behind program and requirements for educating those students with special needs. The Federal Department of Education is the principal federal agency involved in these programs.
Citizen Involvement
While there is usually an opportunity for citizen input into the development of federal legislation and regulations, it is often remote and indirect due to the national scope of the topics covered. Congress may hold regional hearings on proposed legislation but it is rare for the average citizen to participate in such events. Federal agencies often make'proposed regulations available for public comment prior to adoption but, again, few GHA citizens would be aware of or participate in such • review. Occasionally agencies may put together advisory panels but membership is usually limited to organizations rather than individuals. '
The GHA is part of the First Congressional District. In addition to one Congressperson, the GHA is represented by two Senators who represent Washington statewide. The GHA amounts to only 15% of the First Congressional District. The balance of the district represents a strange mix of areas on the other side of Puget Sound, including Kirkland and Bothell on the East side of Lake Washington and the City of Shoreline and South Snohomish County on the Sound. This means that the GHA is not likely to have a great deal of influence compared to other areas in either the Congressional or Senatorial districts. •

esc i io a Im ac // State government exerCises authority over everything from worker's compensation to land use in the State. The State also implements many federal programs. State government's legislative and regulatory functions are much more specific to issues and locations within the state. Residents of the GHA are affected by many state programs and laws. For example, any resident of the GHA might receive social services, unemployment insurance, or state law enforcement services. Many state residents benefit from K-12 to higher education systems funded or operated by the state. This section will deal only those with the state programs or agencies with the most direct impact on the GHA and its residents.
Commu i y o i e — Go e a ce a a es
ko Probably the most significant impacts center around land use and environment (development • regulations, wetlands, shorelands, water and fish), education and the ferry system. Once again, concern for the environment, notably fish, has led to new regulations governing wetlands and shorelines. The Shoreline Management Act, passed in a 1972 referendum, was the first attempt to really regulate lands adjacent to waterways. Since then, the designation of several species of fish as endangered has led to more stringent regulation of these areas. This manifests itself when residents want to build or develop near wetlands or shorelines in the GHA. It also affects maintenance activities such as dredging of the Driftwood Key marina and the reconstruction of the Point No Point Resort.
The State Environmental Policy Act requires comprehensive environmental impact assessments for many projects in sensitive areas.
With the passage of the Growth Management Act in 1990 ; the State mandated passage of Comprehensive Plans by all cities and counties and provided specific direction tothem about the content of such plans. A significant impact of the Growth Management Act in the Greater Hansville Area is that the minimum lot size for residential purposes` to a fiVe acre minimum; thus ensuring the rural nature of the area in the future.
The Department of Ecology oversees compliance with the GMA'by local governments. The agency, along with the Puget Sound Action Tearri .(P SAT), has a large-impact on activities that occur both in Hood Canal and the Sound. For example, Hood Canal seems to be suffering from oxygen deprivation which kills marine life ancf:couldeffectiVely kill the Canal if not corrected. • Both PSAT and the Department-of Ecology will p*- major leadership roles in studying this issue, involving interested parties, proposing legiSlation or regUlation and financing some of the improvements that maybe required. Since at least'one significant contributor to the problem seems to be shoreline septic systeniS, any "cure" could affect current and future shoreline residents and communities.
The State Department of Fish and Wildlife has a very significant impact on the GHA for many residents. Of most importance is the settingof seasons and regulations for fishing, crabbing, shrimping and clamming. The agency also stocks Buck Lake.
In addition, as part of its mission to provide access to the Sound for those fishing and small boating, Fish and Wildlife purchased the Point No Point Resort with the idea of reestablishing it as a launching point. Just how the agency accomplishes this goal can have significant impact on both the local neighborhood and the broader region
The State Departmentepartment `of Education plays an important part in local education by setting educational performance standards and is important in implementation of the No Child Left Behind Act in Washington. The legislature plays a critical role in funding local education.
Finally, the State Ferry System, under the Department of Transportation, has a very significant impact on residents of the GHA. The ferry system seems to fill three rolls: 1) enable commerce • across the sound, and 2) provide a link for local residents to recreation, jobs, business and Commu i y o i e — Go e a ce a a es 5
014 1 3 - 1 medical care across the Sound and 3) provide access for tourists to the Olympic Peninsula. Both the schedule and pricing strategy affect GHA residents. Since a number of local residents commute • to work by ferry everyday, this becomes more than just academic for them. Finally, the ferry system (public or private) can impact local land use patterns by location of its terminals, size of boats, schedule, pricing, and the availability of passenger ferries. Increasing fees serve to isolate residents of the GHA and may impair the economic connection of the Kitsap Peninsula with the Seattle area.
Citizen Involvement
Generally the opportunity for citizen input into state agencies is only marginally better than with the Federal Government. Often, the most common opportunity will be to testify at public hearings or attend public meetings. In part, this happens because state agencies operate statewide and more extensive and personal involvement just isn't practical. Sometimes, like recent Ferry System meetings, only written feedback is accepted. On the othefhand, when there is'a localized issue like redevelopment of the Point No Point Resort or the threat' to Hood Canal, the state agency will often provide for broader input from citizens living in the area.
The GHA is represented by two members of the Washington State House of Repreentatives and one Senator from legislative District 23. District 23 includes all of the tip of the Peninsula, Kingston, Poulsbo, Keyport, Bainbridge Island, and portions of East Bremerton. Because of its
small, rural population, the GHA is not likely to'haye great influence on State legislative matters.

Cities provide "governance" and many service's within their boundaries. County Government provides general 'fgoyerocince" (i.e., laws, regulations and policies) for the unincoiporataareas.% Counties provide county-wiae services such as elections, courts, jails and property tax system administratidn.:: Cdiinties often deliver‘and administCr federal and state programs at the local level.
Counties deliver direct services such as law enforcement, waste management, storm surface run-of and-planning to unincorporated areas. Many dire& services are:i1Clivered by single purpose "special service districts" such as
school districts;fir C,distrits, transit districts and water districts.
Organization and Impact
Kitsap County is the general purpose local government for the GHA. Kitsap County governs and regulates all unincorporated areas in the County, including the GHA. The County provides key county-wide services such as elections, courts and tax system administration. The County also provides local services such as roads, solid waste, stormwater management and law enforcement to unincorporated areas. The League of Women Voters of Kitsap County has produced an • Commu i y o i e — Go e a ce a a es • excellent pamphlet called "Knowing your County" (December 2004) describing the County and other local service districts in the County.
Major services provided by the County that affect the GHA include Community Development (land use planning and building regulation), Sheriff's patrol and Transportation. These three departments are critical to managing and dealing with the impacts of growth in the GHA.
The Parks and Recreation Department is especially important since Buck Lake Park, the Greenway and the Point No Point Lighthouse park are either owned or operated by the County. In addition, the County is expected to purchase the Norwegian Point and tOwer Hawk's Pond properties in the near future.
The County is governed by three partisan, directly elected Commissioners who must reside and run in a primary election in one portion of the County but be elected by all residents in the general election.
Ci i e I o eme
The County, more than any government discussed in this chapter (other than perhaps the school district), provides numerous opportunities for citizen input. This is probably a reflection of both state and federal requirements and County` government philosophy. It also illustrates the broad array of services that are provided by the County.
There are at least 19 advisory committees that have sonielmpact on the GHA and are open to GHA residents as members. It is difficult to knovv for sure but it appears that only two GHA
residents are currently members of these committees, Howard - O'Brien on the Parks and Recreation Advisory, and Jennifer White on'the Developmental Disabilities Board.
In addition to Kitsap County, the GHA is served by six special service districts. Special service districts are local legal entities created for the purpose of providing a single "public service". They can be funded by both taxes and fees and, sometimes, federal and state funds. Special Districts that serve the GHA include North Kitsap Fire and Rescue, PUD # 1 (Water), Kitsap Regional Library, North Kitsap School District, Port of Eglon, and Kitsap Transit. In addition, Central Communications (CenCom), the 911 dispatch facility, receives sales and cell phone taxes and serves the GHA through the fire district and sheriff's office. The Kitsap Regional Planning Council, an agency created by the local governments and tribes in the County, has a direct impact on the GHA by coordinating land use planning and recommending transportation grants but levies no taxes and does not directly pass legislation or regulate.
A brief description of each local government in Kitsap County that serves the GHA is included in this chapter.
u ic I o ma io ; O i e Access o Go e me I o ma io
Citizens require information in order to be effective in dealing with their governments. This • includes information about mission and purpose, organization, finances, policies/laws and Commu i y o i e — Go e a ce a a es 7 O o( 3 ( a9 regulations, performance and current issues. While this information is available at government offices, it is not always conveniently available and may require numerous trips and delays to • obtain. The normal way that citizens are made aware of current issues is the media but the media cannot provide the kind of detailed information noted here.
The internet provides a significant opportunity for governments to make detailed information available to their citizens. With the passage of time and increased experience, governments are putting virtually every aspect of their business on the internet, making it available to citizens.
Each of the local governments serving the GHA, with the exception of the Port of Eglon, has a web page. Each of those pages was evaluated to see if certain minimum information was available. By and large, with the exception of budget and financial information, each of the pages provided a high degree of information about the government's operations.

One government has a speCial history anal-elationshiP with the GHA. The Port Gamble
S'Klallam Tribe is a sovereign nation directly adjoining the southeastern boundary of the GHA. A treaty was:adopted at oi No Pöintin 1855 between the United States Government and fourteen villages of the S'Klallam tribe living'alcing the Straits of Juan de Fuca and Hood Canal and into the San Juan Jslands. In returnfor giving up claim to about 400,000 acres of their traditional lands, members Of the„Tribe were giVen 3,840 acres at the tip of Hood Canal called the Skokomish Reservation. While the Tribe gave up vast areas of land, it did insist on retaining fishing, hunting and gathering practices.
Tribal members were directed to move to the reservation soon after signing of the treaty. However, instead of moving to the new reservation, most of the S'Kllalam remained in their traditional locations along the water. Eventually, the villages consolidated themselves into three locations that are the current locations of today's three S'Klallam tribes; Port Gamble, Sequim and Jamestown near Port Angeles.
The Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe settled in the Port Gamble Bay in the early 1 800s on land formerly occupied by the Chimicums. Pope and Talbot, looking for a mill location decided that Port Gamble was the preferred site. Only problem was the S'Kllalam lived there. In return for • Commu i y o i e — Go e a ce a a es 8 • promises of help in building homes and employment at the mill, the S'Klallam agreed to move across the Bay to Point Julia and surrounding 1300 acres. S'Klallam members worked at the mill for 150 years until its closure in 1995.
The reservation land was set aside for the S'Klallam Tribe in 1938 and remains 100% in tribal trust. No land within the reservation is privately held. Boundaries of the current S'Klallam Nation are shown below:

The Tribe is governed by a six member Tribal Council which is delegated legislative authority by the General Council.
As of September, 2004, there were 1,045 enrolled tribal members. Over 600 people reside on the reservation and 150 tribal, members reside adjacent to the reservation.
The Tribe, by treaty rights retaining fishing, hunting and gathering practices, exerts significant influence over resource issues facing the GHA and surrounding areas. The Tribe is a member of the Point No Point Treaty Council that has a planning and oversight role over the water and adjacent shore on the tip of the Peninsula, including Point No Point. The Tribe is also a member of the Hood Canal Coordinating Council, along with the Skokomish Tribe and Kitsap, Jefferson and Mason Counties. Both of these groups have significant roles in planning for these bodies of • water.
Commu i y o i e — Go e a ce a a es 9
PH CY-0'AI)/ In addition, the Tribe has a significant role on water and watershed planning. This role extends • beyond activities on the reservation to forestry and development practices outside the boundaries of the reservation that affect tribal lands and resources.
The S'Klallam are engaged in an increasing number of economic development activities that both benefit and affect residents of the GHA.
The Tribe operates both the Little Boston Hatchery which raises and releases Chum salmon and Coho salmon net pens. These not only produce salmon for native fisheries but also increase fishing opportunities for GHA residents and others.
The Point No Point Casino and Gliding Eagle Market provide eating, entertainment and convenience shopping/gasoline for residents of the GHA. The downside of these developments seems to be increased traffic on Hansville Highway and an increase in serious traffic accidents. The Tribe has also installed broad band fiber optic communications systems. These systems improve business operations of the tribe, allow for video conferericing and will ultimately provide high speed internet connections to reservation residents. It is possible that this system could be extended to other areas of the GHA, if needed.
The Little Boston Library, operated in cooperation with the Kitsap Regional Library, was named the Best Small Library in the United States in 1999. Even though the library is located on Tribal land, the library is used heavily by residents Of the GHA. The Tribe is seeking funds to build an improved: library facility a§ "part of the House of Knowledge • that will be available to tribal members and the broader public',1 condition of a grant for computer terminals requires the Tribe to make the terminals with high speed internet connectio s- available to the broader public as well. Finally, the Tribe provides culiural enrichmeht for GHA residents. The S'Klallam have embarked on an ambitious resurrection of tribal culture through the building of the "House of Knowledge" complex. funding for this project witkcOme from a number of sources. That complex will include the first Longhouse to be built i the area in over 100 years (complete) and an education center. Various events:open to the public will allow exposure to this culture. 1 It is clear that the S'Klallam tribe has a significant direct and indirect impact on the GHA and can be an important partner in deciding the future of the area. "Go e a ce" i e G A So far, we have discussed the formal, legal governments that include the GHA. But within the GHA, what is the structure or process for bringing the "community" together to address common aspirations and common issues? • Commu i y o i e — Go e a ce a a es 1 1 1-1-K • The GHA is an area with several discrete "neighborhoods" located among more rural areas. Several formal subdivisions created homeowners associations to manage common amenities and to enforce Conditions, Covenants and Regulations (CC&Rs) pertaining mostly to property uses and home design in the subdivisions. Such Homeowner Associations exist for Driftwood Key (the largest subdivision), Shore Woods (second largest), Cliffside and Point No Point View Estates. These organizations will occasionally get involved in other issues that may affect their residents such as traffic issues. Other neighborhoods outside of formal subdivisions may have informal organizations such as the Skunk Bay Yacht Club and the Finn Creek neighborhood. There are two Community Clubs in the GHA; the Eglon Community Club and the Hansville Community Center. Both of these organizations provide activities for residents in the area. Although not specifically within their "charters" both of these organizations are available to provide a forum for the community to come together to address issues that go beyond "neighborhood" boundaries. The Hansville Community Center has served as a forum`to bring residents together:4o deal with issues of common concern for many years. Examples include .`Candidates Nights" that have been held for over 20 years, the Point No Point Lighthouse transfer, and the Hansville Neighbors monthly luncheon. Other examples include the recent siting of standby electric generators and the redevelopment of the Point No Point Resort. There is no mechanism for regular coordination between all of the areas within the GHA and there is no formal organization charged with bringing all parties within the GHA together to tackle common issues or speak with-a common voice. The Coffee Klatch at the Hansville Grocery has historically been a regular stop for politicians and others wanting to "test the waters" on local issues. Citizens in.the GHA are heavily involved in their community. More than 20 organizations were identified in the GHA and invited to participate in this Futures Process. Significant Organizations and Interests in GHA include the following: Better Halves Hansville Pre-School Flotsam & Jetsam Garden Cliffside Neighborhood Hansville Community Church Club Coffee Klatch Hansville Youth Driftwood Key S'Klallam Tribe Eglon Neighborhood Hansville Community Center Ladies Aid Shore Woods Point No Point Road Point No Point View Estates Olympic Resources Solitarians Hansville Arts & Crafts Guild Thursday Breakfast Group Hansville Greenway Assoc. Skunk Bay Yacht Club Hansville Neighbors Hansville Hansville Area Businesses Wellness Group Finn Creek Kitsap County • Neighborhood Commu i y o i e — Go e a ce a a es 11 Wit--41,13-.920o.5 O ga i a io a A e a i es o e G A • In general, there are three basic forms of "governance" in Kitsap County. First are cities which are incorporated areas that provide their own government, taxes and services. Cities in Kitsap County are Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo. Second are rural, unincorporated areas that have no formal government other than Kitsap County. Within this category are two different types of areas; purely rural areas and Urban Growth Areas. Kingston, an Urban Growth Area, will end up with the same urban density of development as a city but without the government structure. Although Kingston has no self-government, there is a strong citizen advisory committee which is partly staffed by the County. The GHA, on the other hand, is designated as a Rural area. Given the lack of sewers, the Comprehensive Plan requirement of five acre minimum residential lot sizes in the future and the lack of extensive commercial areas, it is unlikely that the GHA would ever be anything other than just a Rural area. Prospective cities must demonstrate a financial ability to "support themselves" and the GHA could never meet this test. Recent studies of the Suquamish area have cast doubt on the ability of that area to support itself as a city and it is unlikely that Kingston would be successful if it tried to incorporate. Silverdale, with its dense development and enormous retail base is about the only unincorporated area in the County that could be financially successful as a city if it incorporated. As a result, there appears to be no formal government structure, other;than County Government, that is available to the GHA. • In terms of an informal structure, it might be possible to have /the County create an advisory committee, as it has in Kingston, to bring all the parties in the GHA together to plan for common needs. However, it unlikely that the County could 'afford the staff resources to do this for every unincorporated rural area in theCOunty that might like it. So it seern§,there are really only two options for organization in the GHA. The GHA can continue to basically remain unorgani ed and-re4po_nd on a neighborhood by neighborhood basis to issues that come up. This will not allow the entire area to respond to or plan in advance of issues that are of GHA Wide`interest such a's, transportation issues, public safety concerns or proposed significant developments'Aliat would affect the area. The other option is fOr resiclefit in the GHA to either designate an existing organization or create some new form of informâl; local "coordinating" group to deal with common issues and speak with a single voice to the'County and outside agencies and developers. This would be similar to a neighborhood organization in a city where the neighborhood organizes informally and without legal structure to represent its needs. • Commu i y o i e — Go e a ce a a es 12 • a es a ees Taxes and fees are always issues for citizens. They can be of special interest to those on fixed incomes. Growth can contribute to increased taxes and fees in two ways. First, if property values increase unequally some property owners can end up paying a higher share of total county property taxes than others. Second, increased growth means that the demands for public services increase. Governments can respond to those needs by increasing productivity or increasing their capacity ;to. serve, including adding staff. This can mean increased taxes and increased fees. For example,. water rates can go up as the district has to find new sources or increases fees to encourage conservation. Initiative 1-747 reduced the ability of government to raise property taxes without 'a vote of the people from 6% per year to 1% per year Historically, this non-votect'adjuStment wasintended to recognize that government, like its citizens, had to keep up with inflation. The 6% increase was adequate in some years. The new 1% limit is inadequate in virtually every year. To compensate for serving new growth, the value of new construction is added to a government's tax base. The combination of the two factors means that property4axes raised by locatgovernment have automatically increased by 3-4% in recent years. This'is a significant rediietion from the "old • days" when taxes might have increased as much as 9:10% over the same period. This means that governments that fely,mostly on property- taxes (the fire district and library district) will have to go to voters More frequently than inAhe past. It also means that property taxes should grow more sloWly in the future unless voters'approve property tax increases. Increased property taxes can be especially troublesome for3those on limited incomes who have lived in their home, for extensive periOdS of time Over time, property taxes increase — often faster than the fixed incomes of retirees. Data in this document suggests that residents of the GHA are somewhat better off than residents of the-rest of the County — both in terms of income and housing costs as a percent of income However, as both taxes and assessed:Values increase, those living in a home over an extended period and with a "fixed'' income can become "asset rich" and cash poor. In some cases, this has forced residents to move to avoid the taxes. Fortunately, there are income-based state tax relief programs for seniors and disabled persons that can reduce a portion of each year's property taxes. For 2005, 3,421 low income and disabled County residents had their property taxes reduced by over four million dollars! There are also income-based property tax relief programs that allow a "deferral" of property taxes for low income or disabled citizens. The deferred taxes are collected when the house is sold. The recent invention of "reverse mortgages" can assist people to tap this "asset" and remain in their • homes. There is a reluctance by those who have "paid off the mortgage" to go into debt Commu i y o i e — Go e a ce a a es 13 qi- 3-a oci again which keeps them from using some of these programs but should not deter use of the property tax exemption program for those who qualify. • On the other side, governments are stuck trying to meet increased needs and demands for service from residents at the same time that there is resistance to increases in taxes or fees. The State of Washington is a major collector of both sales and property taxes. The state collects about 24% of property taxes. It collects 75.5% of sales taxes. The only GHA local government that collects both property and sales;taxes is Kitsap County. Even though the GHA is a rural area, it is not necessarily a cheap Iplaceto live. As the table below indicates, the sales tax in the GHA is among the highest in the region for unincorporated areas at 8.6% for general retail sales. (Several counties show a range because portions of those counties are in special transportation districts (like the RTA) that increase the sales tax.) e ai Sa es Cou y a ( C a am 3 C a k 7 7 Ki g o Ki sa e e so 3 Maso 3 ie ce 7 o • S o omis 7 o 9 This is significant fOr two reasons. First, the sales taxcan be regressive, consuming a greater proportion of net income ftoin low income residents than their more affluent neighbors. Second, tax rates in general affect the region's ability.tO attract economic development. • But how:db property taxes:in the GHA 'compare to property taxes in cities in Kitsap County? The tabletielow shows this comparison. u is ic io a e y ica ome a ue G A $1 3 $ 1 73 ai i ge Is a $1 $3 eme o $13 3 $11 15 o O c a $11 11 $1 ou s o $13 $19 59 Sou ce Ki sa Cou y 5 S a eme o Assessme s ome a ue is o " o Ki sa U i co o a e " a eas w ic i c u e Ki gs o a o e a eas I may o ecise y e ec The 'Typical" homeowner in the GHA would pay more in property taxes than in any of the cities except Bainbridge Island. This is a result of higher home values and the tax rate. On the other hand, as the following table shows, over a five year period, assessed value in the GHA kept pace with or may have grown less rapidly than in the County as a whole.

On one hand, it shows that the GHA assessed value increased less rapidly than in the County as a whole. On the other hand, usinginforrnation about "Typical" home values from the Kitsap County Statement of Assessments shows that actual home values in the North unincorporated end of the County actually kept pace with the County average. This difference may be because the North End and the GHA specifically, has significant undeveloped land, much of it valued for farm and forestry purposes., In any event, without more detailed information on actual home assessed values in the GHA, it seems likely that assessed values on homes in the GHA appear to have increased about the same as the rest of the County.

The Kitsap County Comprehensive Plan requires that all new residential lots must be a minimum of 5 acres. Increased minimum lot sizes means there will be only large-lot igu e 3 subdivisions in the future. While this will preserve the rural feeling of the area, it will also increase the cost of housing because of the land costs. Another transition that is taking place is the razing of older beachfront cabins and replacing them with much larger, permanent residences. This changes the character of the older neighborhoods. More permanent residents also means there is more impact from outside users of sites like the Point No Point Resort and lighthouse park. • Sou ces o I o ma io 1.

As in any community, no two residents have the exact same set of values — what a boring place that would be! So while a community may never agree to the exact same set of values, it can identify consistent themes among a variety of residents. Themes — such as attitudes toward development, wildlife, and recreation — then coalesce into a set of core principles. A properly designed survey can develop principle further into a set of value statements. The Phase 1 Values Survey contains the social data necessary to identify consistent community themes. During Phase 3, this information was analyzed and translated into a set of 14 principles with corresponding value statements.

The two largest impacts of this growth are increased traffic and the loss of the natural environment, including wildlife. Even though much of the growth is still at "rural" densities, with pockets of suburban densities, the added population and resulting impacts have made the area feel less rural and somewhat less remote.

The Farmers/Crafts Market is a vibrant part of the Community's outdoor season. As the number of local artists grew, a Community Cultural Center/Gallery was finally constructed at Norwegian Point to host cultural events and provide an outlet for local arts and crafts. In addition to local cultural events, a variety of busses and van pools have increased access to cultural events outside the GHA. The economic underpinnings remain much the same as in 2005. Communications technology has played a critical role in enhancing telecommuting, home businesses and other local businesses. Home businesses have been carefully regulated to insure that, as they expand, they continue to be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. Area residents have resisted zoning additional land for commercial purposes in favor of preserving the rural character of the area.

For example, light pollution has been restricted in order to preserve the beautiful views of the night skies. Changes in "Best Land Management Practices" means that clear cutting that occurred until 2005 has been severely limited or is no longer used. In addition, as a result of Community Concerns about clear cutting and development of commercial forest parcels, a sub-committee of the Community Advisory/Coordinating Council met with forest property owners beginning in 2006 to cooperatively develop land and forest management plans that met the Community's Values for lands within the GHA. Recycling of all materials is available at an expanded recycling center and curbside recycling is available to all households.

As a result, Community and/or small private providers provide access for non-driving residents to outside services. Small carpool lots have been developed. Electrical, water and phone services (including cell phone service) are good, meet the area's growth and needs, and, except for electrical service, are reliable. Telecommunications have continued to improve and service to the GHA is comparable to or better than in other areas within the region. "Wireless" use is standard and of good quality throughout the GHA. Although the Port Gamble electrical substation was completed in 2006, power • outages continue to be an issue in the GHA. Septic systems are well maintained due to greater community awareness and County enforcement. In addition, septic system technology has improved and reduced the negative impacts on the environment of older systems. All in all as we reflect at the beginning of this year of 2020, the majority of residents concur that their vision of the future, although slightly altered by circumstances unforeseen in 2006, has been realized and, unlike many surrounding communities which lacked the foresight and dedication of the citizens of the GHA, they have seen the values about which so many cared continue to strengthen the community and anchor decisions made about its future.

The arrangement and intensities ol land uses respect the natural features that define the character of the area. Forested areas remain contiguous to serve as refuges and corridors for wildlife and people, and prominent land owners engage the community in long-term planning for significant parcels and tracts. Development occurs in suitable areas, maintaining larger lots and land use controls that maintain the rural character. Home sites are planned and built using environmentally friendly techniques, especially in terms of stormwater management, erosion control, tree preservation, promotion of privacy and noise reduction. Commercial development in the downtown core is consistent with the current character of the area and with the current types and intensity of businesses. Protecting the rural setting also means continuing to allow rural land uses such as agriculture, livestock rearing, nurseries, wineries and home occupations.

The economy primarily serves the needs of residents, and also accommodates the needs of daily visitors. Commercial development is minimal, occurring primarily in the established 'downtown' core in order to preserve the aesthetic qualities of neighborhoods. Rural economic development potential exists throughout the North Kitsap Area and Hansville's commercial area is sustained through its role as centralized waterfront gathering place for North End residents. Communications technologies are improved while respecting the character of the rural landscape, improving the viability of home occupations and telecommuting. Businesses outside the downtown such as bed and breakfasts, wineries, nurseries and agricultural retail also harmonize with Greater Hansville's rural character.

Public safety services, including fire, medical, emergency and law enforcement continue to be adequate to support first responders' services in the area. Neighborhood Watch programs, coupled with Sheriff Patrols that meet the County's average response time, ensure the maintenance of a low crime rate. Initial response for major emergencies and natural disasters is recognized to be the responsibility of citizens until such time government resources can be provided to the area Citizens are actively involved in the area's Emergency Prepared Program and well versed on the Emergency Prepared Plan. Information pertaining to emergencies, natural disasters, power outages, etc. are rapidly dispersed throughout the area. Education is a priority. Residents actively volunteer in the school system and support school levies as appropriate. The community supports well maintained school facilities and the attraction of high quality staff Additionally, local venues are established to promote and provide life long learning services to the region. Recycling of all materials continues to be a high priority as the area reduces it contribution to land fills. An expanded recycling center and curbside recycling provides this service to all area households. The GI-TA continues to have good relations with Kitsap County and local residents are satisfied with government services. The Greater Hansville Area does not foresee a need to pursue incorporation, but desires significant involvement with County government. in addition, the Good Neighbor Agreement pioneered with the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe has been mutually beneficial and has built a strong relationship between our communities. The Hansville Community Center continues to be a social center for`the GHA.

Electrical and water services are good--meeting the area's growth and needs, and weather-related power outages are infrequent and short in duration. Telecommunications, including internet and phone services, have been converted to fiber optic and, along with cellular phone services, provide high-speed reliable service. Together, these services increase the viability of telecommuting, distance learning, home businesses, promotion of artistic work, and other local enterprises. Storm water runoff and drainage regulations have been strengthened to limit erosion and protect the quality of surrounding surface waters. Septic systems are well maintained due to greater community awareness and County enforcement. In addition, septic system technology has improved, resulting in less impact to the fragile marine environment. Homeowners are encouraged to upgrade aging systems and are receiving incentives to do so.

The two largest impacts of this growth are increased traffic and the loss of the natural environment, including wildlife.

The Farmers/Crafts Market is a vibrant part of the Community's outdoor season. As the number of local artists grew, a Community Cultural Center/Gallery was finally constructed at Norwegian Point to host cultural events and provide an outlet for local arts and crafts. In addition to local cultural events, a variety of busses and van pools have increased access to cultural events outside the GHA. The economic underpinnings remain much the same as in 2005. Communications technology has played a critical role in enhancing telecommuting, home businesses and other local businesses. Home businesses have been carefully regulated to insure that, as they expand, they continue to be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. Area residents have resisted zoning additional land for commercial purposes in favor of preserving the rural character of the area.

For example, light pollution has been restricted in order to preserve the beautiful views of the night skies. Changes in "Best Land Management Practices" means that clear cutting that occurred until 2005 has been severely limited or is no longer used. In addition, as a result of Community Concerns about clear cutting and development of commercial forest parcels, a sub-committee of the Community Advisory/Coordinating Council met with forest property owners beginning in 2006 to cooperatively develop land and forest management plans that met the Community's Values for lands within the GHA.

Electrical, water and phone services (including cell phone service) are good, meet the area's growth and needs, and, except for electrical service, are reliable. Telecommunications have continued to improve and service to the GHA is comparable to or better than in other areas within the region. "Wireless" use is standard and of good quality throughout the GHA. • Although the Port Gamble electrical substation was completed in 2006, power outages continue to be an issue in the GHA. Septic systems are well maintained due to greater community awareness and County enforcement. In addition, septic system technology has improved and reduced the negative impacts on the environment of older systems. All in all as we reflect at the beginning of this year of 2020, the majority of residents concur that their vision of the future, although slightly altered by circumstances unforeseen in 2006, has
