WHATCOM COUNTY COUNCIL PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE September 18, 1989 the Meeting Was Called to Order by Tom Burton, Ch WHATCOM COUNTY COUNCIL j PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE September 18, 1989 The meeting was called to order by Tom Burton, Chairman at 1:03 p.m. with members will Roehl and Emily Jackson present. Others present were: Dan Taylor, Planning; Ray Weden, Ray Weden Engineering; Mark Challender, Becky Peterson, Council of Governments;Andy Norstadt, Bellingham Herald; Lee Murphy, KGMI; Charles and Shirley Kermen; Beverly Razore; and Mr. Olson. 1. DISCUSSION OF HORTON ROAD VACATION WITH MR. & MRS. C. KERMEN Burton said that Randall Watts was called to California and was unable to attend today's meeting so your discussion with him will have to be postponed until the next meeting. Mr. Kermen said they had requested a copy of Watts' letter to Burton; he stated that an engineer's report had been done but that it had been done by Ray Weden • "How can Mr. Weden represent both sides of the fence? He worked for Cordata or the Trillium Corporation and at the same time was working for the taxpayers of the County. That shouldn't be." He stated that they had requested a copy of the minutes of the last Planning and Development Committee minutes and noted an error. In the second paragraph, Collins Road should be Thomas Road. Kermen stated the term "binding site plan" keeps appearing in Mr. Weden's and Mr. Watts' statements, and they have found that the binding site plan is mentioned in the RCW 58.17.035 as an alternative methods of land division, meaning that land can be divided into any shape. It does not mention that it can be used for the vacation of roads; vacations are still referred to RCW 36.87.040 where it refers to an engineer's report. Mr. Kermen would like to have a copy of the Engineer's report. Under RCW 36.86.050 it states that "a vacation or abandonment of roads shall be pUblished at least once a week for two consecutive weeks preceding the date fixed for the hearing in the County official newspaper and a copy of the notice shall be posted for at least twenty days prior to the hearing at each termini of the County road or portion thereof proposed to be abandoned." Mr. Kermen stated that it was run only once in the westside Record Journal and once in the Bellingham Herald according to both papers' records. He stated that Michele Gierman signed an affidavit (Exhibit 5) stating she had posted five notices on March 13, 1986 which was fourteen days in advance instead of the required twenty days in advance. Mr. Kermen stated that for six roads there would be at least twelve termini and only five were posted. Mr. Olson who has lived on the corner of Horton and Aldrich for more than thirty years stated he had never seen a sign posted and a light post is right beside his house. Mr. Kermen said they were the only ones objecting to the vacation of Horton Road at that time and they were not answered except by Ken Hertz who stated that "We are going to build the Planning & Development Minutes, 9-18-89, page 2 Horton Road." He stated he needs all the information he can get if they do go to litigation. Mrs. Kermen noted that Ray Weden had stated at the last meeting that he remembered the Kermens protesting at the 1986 meeting but it was apparent at that time that the roads would have to be vacated because the alignment had been approved. Weden stated that the road vacation was in the EIS and there was a pUblic process. Roehl said the main questions are: Are there any alternative ways of vacating a road? and were they adhered to? Mr. Kermen stated that all they are asking for is county road right-of-way access to a street or proposed road in the Cordata project. Burton stated that Mr. Watts would be asked to the next meeting. The Kermens asked if they should bring their attorney. Roehl said they probably should meet with Watts with their attorney and see if anything can be settled. Mrs. Kermen wants to know what would be wrong with putting in the short spur of road to connect them to a Cordata Road. Burton said this would probably be an engineering opinion. Mrs. Kermen asked it that would be Ray Weden' s opinion or a County engineer's opinion. She stated that they were very concerned with Ray Weden speaking for our excellent Whatcom County Engineering office. She cannot understand why Ray Weden would be their spokesman. Mrs. Kermen stated that according to the WAC 196-27 this is a conflict of interest. 196.27.020, Fundamental Guidelines for the professional conduct of engineers, E, 4, 4a, 4b and 4d relate to this. Jackson asked Weden what procedure was followed to get from the original map to what is in place today. She stated she had difficulty establishing an audit trail of how and when the Horton Road was vacated. Weden said there was an LRID done to establish a road from the east boundary to the west boundary. All roads running east and west were vacated except Allen Road which runs north-south. He said they followed the PUD process approved by the Council. Mrs. Kermen asked if he was including the Horton Road in the binding site plan. Weden said they were including it as a new road right of way. Jackson asked again what the process was. Weden replied that the whole 600 acres was included on a general binding site plan. Roehl asked when the straight shot road rights­ of-way of Horton Road were vacated. Weden replied that it was on the general binding site plan. Mrs. Kermen said that the County engineers' office still showed the old alignment a few months ago. She asked if he had discussed these changes with the County Engineer. Weden replied that he had not; he works directly for the Director of Public Works. The County Engineer did sign the face of the binding site plan. Jackson asked if Weden was working for Cordata or the County when he did the alignments. He stated he computed mathematically where Planning & Development Minutes, 9-18-89, page 3 the alignment was for the County; the alignment was done through the permit process for the PUD. Jackson stated she still does not see the procedures that were followed to get to the final point. Did the Council just accept this? How does the person in the Assessor's office know to change the maps? Weden said that he was asked to do a general site binding plan and it was passed around the other departments for approval. Jackson asked if it was adopted by the Council by resolution or the Hearing Examiner or how was it accepted. Jackson said she can't even find the job responsibility description for Weden Engineering in the file and she would like a copy from Weden for our files. Mrs. Kermen asked what date Weden was appointed as the County engineer. Weden said he would check at his office. Jackson asked that the County engineer attend the next meeting to explain how road vacations are done. John Tyler said the binding site plan is part of platting and platting is one form of road vacation; that is allowed by RCW 58.12. Jackson said that the one benefit of having the County engineers involved in the Magrath Road vacations recently resolved, was that we could talk about the alternatives and it was done one step at a time. Roehl said that the question is whether the road was legally vacated. There was discussion about what the Kermens wished to see happen. They reiterated that they wanted the same as they had stated at the last meeting, vehicular circulation and sewer and water access to the Cordata project. 2. REQUEST FROM COUNCIL OF GOVERNEMENTS TO BE CONSIDERED AS LEAD AGENCY FOR THE DRAYTON HARBOR WATERSHED Mark Challender presented the application for Council of Governments (COG) to be lead agency for the Drayton Harbor Watershed. Challender was approached by the City of Blaine shortly after he started with COG to submit an application for funding from the Department of Ecology under the Centennial clean Water Non­ point Program. (See attached letter.) The Department of Ecology has put conditions on the monies until they receive proof that the County has designated COG as lead agency in the Drayton Harbor Watershed. The other condition is that an interlocal agreement must be signed by all local agencies involved (City of Blaine, Lummi and Nooksack Indian Tribes, Whatcom. County Cooperative Extension Service, Semiahmoo Resort and Neptune Aquafarms). These seven agencies or corporations would need to provide about $15,000 in matching funds per year. The purpose of this grant would be to develop a watershed management plan which among other issues would investigate why there are such high levels of coliform and cadmium in Drayton Harbor, and devise a plan to correct this situation. Taylor said it would have been better administratively if the County had done the work itself. He acknowledged that COG is staffed up to do it, but was concerned with implementation. As over 90 percent of the area is in unincorporated Whatcom County, Planning & Development Minutes, 9-18-89, page 4 the County should be lead or have a very strong role because the County will inherit the job of implementing the recommendations and needs to be fully behind them. He said the final issue is implementation.

  • APPENDIX 4 Historic Context
    APPENDIX 4 Historic Context The Sehome Neighborhood – Then and Now The Sehome Neighborhood is located within the City of Bellingham in Whatcom County, Washington. The neighborhood, as we know it today, might be characterized as three distinct geographical areas that developed sequentially over time. The original town of Sehome, at the south end of Elk Street in the 1850s, expanded northward to create a second area, a well-developed commercial center at the end of the 19th century.1 These two successive business corridors created a need for adjacent residential development. Near the Holly and Elk Street commercial center, a high-end residential area emerged on the western slope of Sehome Hill. Large homes built on North Garden and other streets nearby were walking distance from the owners’ downtown workplaces. As growth continued into the 20th century, working-class housing was built further east, creating what is now known as the Sehome Hill Historic District (SHHD). Finally, with the era of the automobile and highway construction, the most rural part of the Sehome neighborhood developed around the old Maple Valley Road, which became State Highway 99, and is today's Samish Way, serving residents and automobile tourists in the post-war period. The historic context that follows details the events and development patterns that produced the various geographical "character" areas within the current Sehome Neighborhood. The content is derived, in part, from several National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) nominations for individual properties, as well as from the comprehensive histories presented in the NRHP “MPD: Commercial Buildings of the Central Business District of Bellingham, 1882-1915” and in the “Sehome Hill Historic District – National Register of Historic Places Nomination.” See “Further Reading” for a list of relevant nominations.

  • Internet Connectivity Has Improved in Whatcom County, but Many Gaps Remain Masked Young Adults Key to Beating COVID in the Long
    News from the Salish Current for the week ending Feb. 26, 2021: Internet connectivity has improved in Whatcom County, but many gaps remain Dance instructor and Mount Baker area resident Juliette Machado has resorted to finding a viable internet connection away from home in order to provide a stable platform for her Whatcom Community College dance classes — just one example of the challenges educators and students face with remote learning. By Jacqueline Allison — One year into the COVID-19 pandemic, many more students in Whatcom County are able to connect to the internet for remote learning, thanks to communitywide efforts to rapidly deploy mobile hotspots and other steps to boost connectivity. Still, a clear digital divide remains. Rural residents are more likely to have slow or unreliable connections, often with fewer options and at higher cost. (Read more) Masked young adults key to beating COVID in the long term Looking to the future: high school seniors Cameron Morrow, left, and Casey McEvoy mask up to stay healthy and help stop the spread of COVID-19. Young adults are the target audience for a new mask-wearing awareness campaign being launched by Whatcom County. By Alex Meacham — This winter, the number of COVID-19 cases in Whatcom County spiked among young adults. Why? County officials think the spike is due to young adults not taking precautions in private, and the county will spend $200,000 on a campaign to influence young adults to adopt safer COVID-19 behaviors. The county will use peer-to-peer messaging to carry the most up-to-date information on what young people can do to stay healthy and help end the pandemic.

  • Public Safety Now Sheriff’S Insiders Advocacy Group “Lobby Group” with Ray Baribeau
    Addendum 2 dated 04-17-2016 to Noble Cause Corruption Complaint #1122 filed 11-30-2015 – by Joy Gilfilen Public Safety Now Sheriff’s Insiders Advocacy Group “Lobby Group” with Ray Baribeau At some point, Ray Baribeau and Marvin Wolff expand their influence. Ray Baribeau teams up with another member of the Sheriff’s Advisory Group, Doralee Booth. They both were members of the official Jail Planning Task Force, and now they merge together into the new Public Safety Now advocacy group. This group is a bit amorphous, although it seems to be composed largely of vendors and Sheriff’s office staff, past campaign chairs or contributors, or like Marvin Wolff, they represent certain groups or non-profits in the community who are strategically selected from certain areas of the County. This Public Safety Now group seems to be a specially selected group, mostly coordinated through Ray Baribeau with Marvin Wolff’s cooperation and support. Others work in tandem, in collaboration with the Sheriff and other Sheriff’s Office staff. This group now serves as a type of bridge to the community. It is like an inside lobby group…a “hidden” or “shadow” advocacy group that is not accountable to taxpayers or to policymakers. It created a method for communication and public relations efforts to move information smoothly from the Executive Branch through to a privileged group of community non-profit leaders and organizations without impediment. Documents show that Baribeau and Wolff control the flow of messaging and information by strategic planning, marketing and outreach. Baribeau is a key organizer of public events such as fairs, debates, launch events, social media campaigns, video production and websites with well- planned campaigns.

  • A History of the Bellingham National Guard Armory 525 N
    A HISTORY OF THE BELLINGHAM NATIONAL GUARD ARMORY 525 N. State Street, Bellingham, WA 98225 By Taylor Russell All pictures courtesy of the Whatcom Museum’s Photo Archives For thousands of years, the area surrounding Bellingham Bay was inhabited by the Coast Salish people. Local tribes such as the Lummi Indians made use of the natural waterways and abundant resources, like trees and fish. In the early 19th century, Euro-American settlers were attracted to these same resources and the Bay’s convenient location between the burgeoning metropolises of Vancouver, Victoria, and Seattle. The first permanent settlers, Captains Henry Roeder and Russell Peabody, arrived in December 1852 and opened a mill at Whatcom Creek. The environment and demographics rapidly changed as more mills and lumberyards, mines, and fish canneries sprouted along the shore, serviced by well- connected trade and transportation networks. Four separate towns developed around the bay, fueled in part by the miners, settlers, and entrepreneurs en route to the Fraser Canyon goldfields in nearby British Columbia. As more and more settlers flooded the Puget Sound area, Coast Salish people, many travelling from distant Canadian and Russian territories, frequently attacked the new town sites, disrupting Euro-Americans’ industries. This motivated the United States government to build military strongholds in the Northwest to protect the many settlements, like those at Port Townsend, Whidbey Island, and Bellingham Bay, from Indian attacks. In 1856, the US Army sent Captain George Pickett to build Fort Bellingham to defend the resources and Fort Bellingham, built in 1856. developing towns on the bay. The fort would be the first instance of a national military presence in the Bellingham area.

  • Dear Friend of Literacy, We Are Writing to Ask You to Consider Sponsoring
    Dear Friend of Literacy, We are writing to ask you to consider sponsoring the Whatcom Literacy Council’s upcoming annual fund-raiser, the Literacy Breakfast with Nancy Pearl. The 2015 Literacy Breakfast will be held on Thursday, November 12th at Settlemyer Hall on the campus of Bellingham Technical College. Last year we packed the house with over 300 people in attendance, with registration closing two weeks before the event. We plan on adding even more tables for this year’s event! Since 1983 the Whatcom Literacy Council has helped transform lives by offering free tutoring, classes and learning resources for adults who want to improve their basic reading, writing, math, and computer skills, learn English, or study for a GED. In 2014 we set a record, serving 753 “learners” with the help of 98 volunteers. We are hoping to expand programs in the county, and work with new partners representing schools, businesses and churches. With your support we can continue to offer high quality, effective programs that meet the needs of our neighbors. Literacy is an essential skill, fundamental to getting a good job and becoming self sufficient. The stories submitted by our volunteers give us consistent evidence of the impact of these programs: One learner recently passed the US Citizenship test. Another was promoted after only four months of study because his communications skills had improved so much. One dad has daughters who would speak English when they did not want him to know what they are talking about- he laughs when he tells you that they have stopped doing that now that he is studying with a tutor from the Whatcom Literacy Council.
