Kids helping out: Bread Basket Ministries moves in at Cross The teaming up of helping or- ganizations continues at the cor- ner of Second and Cota streets, where Cross Roads Youth Center has announced a tenancy agree- ment with Bread Basket Minis- tries. "The possibilities are endless," commented Cross Roads presi- dent Randy Churchill. The ar- rangement, he said, will benefit the community by providing a lo- County commissioners hear more testimony on Buechel dock permit By COLIN HOWSER Once again, Rick Buechel of Union must wait for a decision f'mn {he Mason County Commis- sioners on his proposed shoreline permit tbr a 10-slip private com- mercial dock at 5561 State Route 106 on Hood Canal. The commissioners have given Buechel until the 7:30 p.m. Octo- ber 26 meeting to develop a re- vised plan for his dock, but said he didn't need to go through the permit process again. Shellfish harvesters' concerns are that the Washington Depart- ment of Health (DOH) will decer- tiI the shellfish beaches if the marina is approved. IF THE DOCK is classified as a marina, which means it can moor 11 or more boats, the DOH will decertify a quarter-mile ra- dius from that area for shellfish harvesting. A marina is also re- quired to have a pump-out sta- tion, unlike a dock. Grace Miller, senior planner with the Department of Commu- nity Development, said the CDC staff recommends denial of the proposed dock because it violates provisions ofthe Shellfish Protec- tion Districts, the Lower Hood Canal Watershed Management Plan, the Shoreline Management Act and the Shoreline Master Program. "Approval of this permit appli- cation," Miller read from a state- ment, "with the design as submit- ted by the applicant, will result in automatic closure of the shellfish harvesting in the area." Miller said if the commission- ers approve the dock, Buechel should agree to certain condi- tions, such as reducing the project size to satisfy DOH requirements, posting bond with the county to pay for any future damage to the shellfish beds and agreeing to a shoreline permit loss and closing his marina if he violates any con- ditions. ROB JOHNSON, Buechel's attorney, said Buechel is being accused of violating his permi be- fore he receives it. He said the county shouldn't talk of such items as bonds and permit revo- cations. "I've never seen that before in most county permits," Johnson said. "Somebody comes in and asks to build a house and, 'Well, your house has ,to be torn down if the septic system leaks or if there's a violation.'" Johnson said he has represent- ed shellfish companies, and the shellfish in the area would not be permanently harmed by one boat with a fuel leak. "You move them and they clean themselves in a period of weeks," Johnson said. "Once you stop the pollution and get rid of the offending boat and there's no more pollution, they'll clean themselves out." RUSS NORRIS, who owns a small shellfish harvesting busi- ness that operates adjacent to the proposed dock, said his business will fail if the dock is built. "As far as the oysters being moved," Norris said, "we cannot... clean those oysters. They are pol- luted with heavy metals from the gasoline and oil that leaks out of the boats. "This will affect me, some of my employees and their families," Norris explained. "I'm not trying to say that somebody shouldn't be able to use their property for something they want, but if it af- fects somebody else .then we should take a look at it." Commissioner Mary Jo Cady said if the dock is considered a dock and not a marina, then it wouldn't affect the shellfish har- vesters. "UNTIL THEY have a problem," Norris countered. "Then I'm going to be shut down immediately. These people won't be shut down, I will." Commissioner John Bolender said the proposed 10-slip dock looks as if it could hold more than 10 boats and that he would like Buechel to try and scale it down in size so it would be better classi- fied as a dock. "In looking at this plan, would an ordinary, reason- able person conclude that that proposal is capable of mooring more than 10 boats?" he asked. "Well, the restriction on the permit would not permit that," Johnson said. "It would be a vio- lation of the Shoreline Manage- ment Act to use the facility like that." Johnson said there is "always the potential for someone to violate the law," but that doesn't mean Buechel will violate • any laws. Bolender said the dock meets the requirements of a marina as it is proposed. "THERE ARE only 10 slips proposed in the project," Bolender said, "but it appears that the proj- ect could accommodate more than General Dentistry )  New I aticrll, s Welcome (12 yrs & Up) Most Emergencies Seen Same Day )' or Next Workin I. ay Most insurances and medical coupons accepted , Skok flood group to meet a week early The Skokomish Fh)od Control Zone District Advisory Board has changed its meeting date this month. The board will meet a week early, on Tuesday, September 14, instead of the usual Thursday, September 23 date. The meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Skokomish Grange Hall on the Skokomish Valley Road. m..= , H m Fillings m Cleanings & Diagnostic m Extractions (Simple & Surgical) m Crowns & Bridges (Ceramic or Gold) m Dentures & Partial Dentures Duane Moore, DDS 432.8379 Open 9 a.m.-5 p.m..

He also said that Buechel will be charging boaters for use of the dock, which he feels is inconsistent with the definition of a dock. Cady disagreed with Bolender. "I think you're presupposing that somebody's going to break the law," she said to Bolender, "and I don't think that's appropriate." Cady and Bolender agreed that a redesigned dock which was physically restricted from having more than 10 boats would be ac- ceptable. Buechel said he would revise the dock plan to meet that re- quirement and present it to the board on October 26. tlOOD (;ANAl, GALLERY - )r i I,ab()r I ak Weekend Big Discount Sale ..............
