KITSAP COUNTY 2018 PARKS, RECREATION and OPEN SPACE PLAN APPENDIX Adopted February 26, 2018 KITSAP COUNTY 2018 PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN APPENDIX Adopted February 26, 2018 KITSAP COUNTY 2018 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan Kitsap County Board of County Commissioners Robert Gelder, Chair, District #1 Charlotte Garrido, District #2 Edward E. Wolfe, District #3 46 PREFACE The 2018 Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan (PROS) is intended to refresh and update the County’s 2012 PROS Plan for adoption by the Board of Commissioners, to be amended into the County‘s Comprehensive Plan, and to be provided to Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) as a requirement for future grant funding opportunities. This plan, through public survey, open house forums, and other opportunities for public input, acknowledges strengths in our park operations and management, identifies areas for improvement, and presents new approaches and ideas. Supporting information from related agencies and organizations help to recognize and clarify the County’s major role in providing outdoor recreation areas and facilities. Throughout the development of the plan it has been evident that County Parks has a significant opportunity and responsibility for stewardship of natural resources beyond the provision of recreation facility development. Based on our discussions, findings, and community recommendations, this document will serve as a foundation for developing strategic agency plans as Kitsap County Parks accepts a greater leadership role in natural resource management. Future successes will require the involvement of the community in crafting land management decisions based on achievable goals, objectives, and action plans. PURPOSE Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan (PROS) is an element of the Kitsap County’s Comprehensive Plan. The PROS plan provides a six-year plan and 20-year vision for the County’s park system, the steps needed for developing and improving park facilities, acquiring f new park facilities, and expanding recreation opportunities on existing areas based on expressed public need. Updating the 2012 PROS Plan is a requisite component of the Growth Management Act (GMA). The GMA promotes wise use of limited land and resources which helps conserve open space. The GMA encourages the enhancement of recreational opportunities, and calls for the development of parks and recreation facilities, which adds to the quality of life in communities. The PROS Plan is required for state and federal grant eligibility, which is administered by the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO). Upon adoption by County Commissioners, the plan is submitted to the RCO for approval. 47 APPENDICES INDEX 1.

The PROS plan provides a six-year plan and 20-year vision for the County’s park system and the steps needed for developing and improving existing park facilities, the development and acquisition for new park facilities, and expanding recreational opportunities. Need for County Plan Update Updating the 2012 PROS Plan is a requisite component of the GMA. The Growth Management Act (GMA) promotes wise use of limited land and resources which helps conserve open space. GMA encourages the enhancement of recreational opportunities, and calls for the development of parks and recreation facilities, which adds to the quality of life in communities. The PROS Plan is also required for state and federal grant eligibility, which is administered by the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO). Upon adoption by County Commissioners, the plan is submitted to RCO for approval. 2018 PROS Plan Development This Plan outlines policy directions, goals and objectives, implementation strategies, capital improvements, and investment emphasis for the system of County Parks and Open Space. PROS 2018-2024 Plan: Evaluates the need and demand for parks, recreational facilities, open space and other recreational lands, throughout the County. Identifies key issues, strengths and opportunities required to improve our parks system, and ensure the capacity to adequately plan, develop and operate park properties and facilities; Provides guidelines and policy direction for the County in terms of acquiring, developing and preserving properties with regional significance and recreation value; Identifies the strategies and objectives needed to ensure that parks are an integral part of the County’s economic development strategy; and Assesses current funding mechanisms, partnerships, and new potential funding strategies. The final plan is reviewed and adopted by the Kitsap County Board of County Commissioners, after a period of regional public participation and review. 53 Purpose of Communications Plan This Communications Plan is intended to outline the methods in which the County will communicate the purpose of the PROS Plan, opportunities for public involvement and the results of public engagement and input. It also identifies communication objectives and key stakeholders intended to be further involved in the plan development. This Communication Plan is intended to support the goals of the County to educate the public, communicate with them and encourage their participation. Public Outreach and Participation Methods To develop a clear representation of Kitsap County recreationists and general citizenry, and understand resident recreation preferences and needs, the PROS Plan invites general community input and direction to the draft Plan through a variety of outreach and participation activities described below: Press releases and announcements of the plan and invitation to participate in the on-line survey and comments at major public events, such as; the County Fair, Kingston Community Open House and the local Home and Garden Show. Publicity inviting participation for the on-line interactive PROS Survey inviting interests and needs in recreational facilities and open space. Briefings and in-person interviews with planners and directors of cities and park districts, Tribes and the Navy.

  • Kitsap County Veterans Memorials and Museums
    Kitsap County Veterans Memorials and Museums UPDATED 9 August 2015 Written and researched by Marion T, (Mick) Hersey, Historical Memorial Preservationist Layout assistance and editing by Leif Bentsen I would like to cordially invite you to view the Memorials and Museums to Veterans throughout Kitsap County. Over the past 5 years I have led groups in refurbishing and cleaning up a lot of these sites. When I started this project in 2010 I did not realize there were so many memorials and museums in our county, the current count is over 100, (This is counting all Boardwalk plaques as 1 even though there are over 300). The 2 of the newest memorials in 2014 were in honor of John D. (Bud) Hawk. At the Veteran’s Day Service a portion of Illahee RD in front of Brownsville Elementary was named “John (Bud) Hawk Memorial DR” and discussion took place to honor him with a Elementary School. The new Elementary school in Jackson Park is now called “The John D. “Bud” Hawk Elementary School at Jackson Park”. We also welcomed an addition to Evergreen Park, the 9-11 Memorial. On the Boardwalk we dedicated and placed a Memorial stone to those that perished from Washington State on the USS Frank E. Evans. So we are expanding our listing with these Memorials, Honorariums and Museums. This year in 2015, the crew of the USS Bremerton came to town and the plaque in honor of their Submarine was added to the Memorial at Hal’s Corner. Memorials were also added as they were located at the VFW in honor of their member who was a Medal of Honor Recipient and in Port Orchard, the Clayton Playground which is named after Michael Clayton.

  • Efficacy of Military and Community Compatibility Planning in the Puget Sound Region
    Efficacy of Military and Community Compatibility Planning in the Puget Sound Region Daniel Cloutier A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Urban Planning University of Washington 2020 Committee: Robert Freitag Branden Born Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Urban Design and Planning © Copyright 2020 Daniel Cloutier University of Washington Abstract Efficacy of Military and Community Compatibility Planning in the Puget Sound Region Daniel Cloutier Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Robert Freitag Department of Urban Design and Planning Washington State’s Puget Sound region is home to three major military installations that work in partnership with neighboring communities to develop land use plans, policies, and regulations supportive of the U.S. Department of Defense mission and community development goals. This thesis evaluates the efficacy of land use compatibility planning processes employed by cities and counties surrounding Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Naval Base Kitsap, and Naval Station Everett. Findings indicate that these military installations and community partners generally engage in effective compatibility planning; and that enduring relationships, adequate resourcing, and relevant planning tools are significant contributors to compatibility planning efficacy. Based on these findings, this thesis recommends the establishment of structured partnerships, the advancement of localized planning guidance and tools, and advocacy for compatibility program funding as considerations
