Calawah River — Victim of

Illegal DumpLaw enforcement officers from the U.S. Forest Service are

investigating items found in an illegal dump that was done sometime earlier last week. The massive pile of garbage that has been described as household items and construction debris apparently was thrown off the bridge over the South Fork of the Calawah River on Forest Service Road 2932.

The dumping was reported to the Pacific Ranger District office in Forks on Tuesday, June 30. Ranger Dean Millett investigated the site Tuesday afternoon and shared the in-formation on Facebook Tuesday evening.

Community members immediately began to organize a clean-up party for the next day at 6 p.m.

Frank Geyer, deputy director/TFW Program manager with Quileute Natural Resources in LaPush, saw the Facebook post regarding the dumping and on Wednesday morning organized his crew at QNR to begin the clean-up. At 9 a.m.

Forks Old-Fashioned 4th 2015Paradise Fire update Weather continues to be the leading story on the

Paradise Fire. A thick blanket of smoke drifted over the Olympic Peninsula from multiple fires in British Colum-bia on Sunday, socking in many communities for much of the day. Firefighters worked to lay hoses and pumps around several spot fires that occurred late Saturday in the flat on the south side of the Queets River. Firefight-ers will continue to work these spot fires, the largest of which is three acres. The fire continues to burn actively on the north perimeter. Weather conditions are expected to moderate some.

Safety of firefighters continues to be the top priority. With new spots south of the Queets River, firefighters are now crossing the river more often. Previously this involved firefighters walking on large fallen trees. Now that equipment needs to cross the river, fire managers delivered two small rafts to the firefighters, thereby reducing the risk to firefighter safety.

Olympic National Park officials would like to remind the public that there is a ban on open fires in the park’s wilderness backcountry, including all locations along the coast. Campfires are permitted only in established fire grates at established front country campgrounds. Because of the extreme conditions on the peninsula, Olympic National Forest and local communities also have implemented fire restrictions. Check the regulations for areas near you.

Information on this fire is available on Inciweb at http://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/4305/. For real time information, visit www.facebook.com/pages/Paradise-Fire/831205013596015.

Calm Waters proudly supporting our troops and veterans

Dear Editor,Calm Waters is a nonprofit

organization made up mostly of employees from Clallam Bay Corrections Center and is based in Sekiu. Our mission is to provide fishing events for alumni from The Wound-ed Warrior Project (WWP), residents from Sarge’s Place and for local low-income veterans.

For these fishing trips, we provide lodging, food, licenses, boats and gear, gifts and prizes. Only through do-nations are we able to provide these things for our visiting veterans.

On Saturday, Aug. 1, at 2 p.m. we are putting on a silent and live auction at the Sekiu Community Center at 42 Rice St., Sekiu. A portion of the money raised by the auction will be used to help cover some of our expenses for our events with the rest being do-nated to the WWP and Sarge’s Place.

On the second weekend of August (Aug. 7-9) we will be hosting up to 25 alumni from the WWP for a two-day private fishing tournament in Sekiu.

On a Saturday in September,

we will be hosting veterans from Sarge’s Place for a day of fishing and barbecue. Sarge’s Place located in Forks, is a transitional and permanent supportive housing project to support veterans of Clallam and Jefferson counties.

This is our fourth year and we would not be able to con-tinue to do this if it weren’t for the overwhelming support that we have received from the community. We have received many generous donations of time, goods and services from the area’s residents and busi-nesses.

For more information, visit us on Facebook at www.face-book.com/calmwatersorg or e-mail us at [email protected].

To learn more about the WWP, visit www.wounded warriorproject.org/ or for Sarge’s Place see www.sarges-place.com.

Thank you for your time and support!

The time capsule book project and those handwritten pages

To the Forks Community,I don’t know how many of

you have had this experience.

You are in, oh, third or fourth grade, and you write some-thing for school that makes you really proud. You get the papers back from your teacher … and you are marked down for sloppy handwriting.

I had that happen a lot. I also had a grandmother who taught in a one-room school in north central Minnesota who would send my letters back with spelling corrections and comments on my handwriting. To this day I worry about my handwriting.

But, you know, our handwrit-ing and our mistakes in hand-writing just make anything we write that much more personal and valuable!

I am grateful for my com-puter and spell check. But, my journals are all hand-written and full of crossouts and arrows with extra words added into the paragraphs, and sometimes some pretty awful penmanship. But, that’s great, as far as I am concerned.

I am so hoping that everyone who took pages home to write for the time capsule book just sits down and writes some-thing to send back! Remember we want either a memory of the RAC or a letter to the future. And, we want the per-sonality of our people and our time to show through!

a group that included Jacob Turner, Gary Dean Jackson III, Greg Urata, Dustin Larkin, Keith Penn and Perry Black were on the scene.

The Forest Service also called in the Clallam County Chain Gang to help and Forest Service personnel also assisted.

Millett said, “We were able to get this cleaned up this morning (Wednesday). Thanks go out to the Clallam County Chain Gang and Quileute Natural Resources. To everyone that volunteered to go out this evening, thank you for your willingness to help.”

Millett said illegal dumping is an ongoing problem in this area. In addition to lawn clippings and other yard debris that seem to fill each pull-out area along side the road, furniture, appliances and car parts litter the countryside.

Most illegal dumpers go un-penalized but Millett is hopeful that there will be something in this litter that may identify the person or persons responsible.

He was not sure of the penalty

for this act, but said he is sure some sort of fine would be in-volved.

If you have any information on this or any illegal dumping activities, call 374-1222.

OpiniOnTHE REAL FORKS

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR POLICYThe Forks Forum belongs to the readers of the newspaper. The opinion section is

the place where reader thoughts appear as letters to the editor. Letters longer than 300 words are sent back to the writer for revision. We only edit for spelling and grammar. Any substantial changes are sent to the letter writer for revision. While we strive to publish all letters, those focusing on local issues take precedence over statewide or national issues. No personal attacks or unsubstantiated allegations are accepted. Those letters are returned to the writer with an explanation why the letter is not going to run in its existing form.

Deadline for letters to appear is noon the Monday before publication. Letters are published on a space-available basis, with time-sensitive letters on local issues taking first priority. There are times, therefore, when a letter might not appear for a week or two.

Letters to the editor can be mailed to the Forks Forum, PO Box 300, Forks, WA 8331; e-mailed to [email protected]; faxed to 374-5739; or dropped off at our office at 44 S. Forks Ave. All letters must have a name, address and telephone number for verification purposes. Only the writer’s name and hometown are printed in the newspaper.

By Christy Rasmussen Ford

A week after writing about the lady who suggested that I educate myself on the issues of Forks, it has become crystal clear that she was onto something. There are a lot of things that I do not know around here. For example, I don’t know why people wave to everyone they pass when driving in the

woods.Back when I was a kid, my dad and I

spent a lot of time driving on gravel roads in places such as the 4400. Do not confuse this area with the 4300, which looks ex-actly like the 4400 but has 1,000 less trees. That’s my new theory on areas which are referred to in numbers by the men around here. It’s the tree count I think.

Back to driving with my dad, whenever we passed another vehicle, he would wave by throwing up the 3-finger lift from the steering wheel. Though it wasn’t a normal wave, you technically got a wave from my dad when crossing paths with him in the woods.

Each time he waved, I would ask him, “Who was that?” Each time, he would reply, “I don’t know.” Each time, I would then ask, “Why did you wave then?” I’m sure it was really fun to have such an inquisitive child (translation; annoying kid who asked too many questions).

Twenty years later, I found myself driving down the gravel road to my house. It’s out on the 8800 … I think I counted right anyway. I was with my own little inquisitive (see transla-tion above) child. I waved at someone passing. Being much friendlier than my dad, I lifted four fingers from the steering wheel instead of his standard three. I hope the passer-byer noticed my friendliness.

After we passed, I heard from the backseat, “Who was that?” I answered, “I don’t know.” I instantly flashed back to my childhood. Therefore, it wasn’t a big surprise when Mini-Christy asked, “Why’d you wave then?”

I answer all questions that my daughter has with honest an-swers. When she asked why I waved at a stranger, I answered, “It’s the law.” OK, it wasn’t an honest answer, but it was a temporary end to the inquisitiveness.

In reality, I have no idea why people wave at each other on gravel roads. Respect maybe? Maybe waving equivalent to saying, “Hey buddy! I respect that you are driving down this gravel road. I am doing the same thing right now!”

I also have no idea why people wave by merely lifting their fingers off the steering wheel instead of giving a real wave. Lastly, I have no idea where the 9000 is … because I cannot count that high without losing my place. My reader was right. I don’t know anything … with the exception of how “fun” it is to have an inquisitive child who asks questions that I cannot answer all day, every day.

Dear Tim Rasmussen, this is my public apology for being such an inquisitive daughter and asking too many questions. Please lift the curse.

Comments? Questions? As long as you are not too inquisi-tive, you may e-mail me at [email protected].

Wave: It’s the Law

The Forks Old Fashioned Fourth of July is sort of like that scene from “Forest Gump” … it is kind of like a box of chocolates … you never know what you are going to get.

THE CELEBRATION:As the paper went

to press last week the WEYL and The Fourth of July Com-mittee were canceling fireworks sales and fireworks shows. Most applauded these decisions and we survived. Many went down to LaPush to watch their fireworks on the beach and although the Forks Police Department received many calls on illegal fireworks, thankfully nothing burned down that I know of.

WEYL treasurer Jolene Winger reports that so far from ticket sales for the load of firewood, which was a last minute plan to raise funds, and donations that have been received are at $2,348.

If you didn’t get a chance to stop by the fireworks booth and thank WEYL with a donation, you still can do so by mailing it to: WEYL, P.O. Box 2449, Forks, WA 98331.

SAUSAGE:“Making sausage” is the

affectionate term parade vol-unteer Rod Fleck has for or-ganizing the parade entries as they gather at Forks Outfitters parking lot. The end product you see is hopefully good but the process is at times not pretty.

I have been doing the parade registration for enough years that I can’t remember how many years it’s been. Parade entries start arriving before 8 a.m. the day of the parade. This year I had help at the table, a huge thank you to Jolene Price, Gretchen Souza and one of the Police Cadets, and I am sorry I did not get her name, but thank you.

This year John Buonpane organized the parade judg-ing. Also helping were Donna Petrovich and Scott and Darla DePew. A huge thank you to

them for doing a difficult job. Rod Fleck and Wade McCoy

organized the parade entries with some help from a few

others.For most years the

Forks Community Orchestra, or Forkes-tra, is the only musi-cal entry, other than Ted’s calliope, but this year the Navy Band showed up, looking spiffy in their

white uniforms. People were gushing over how wonderful it was. We told sausage maker Fleck to leave enough room between us and the Navy Band, so as to not get us confused.

So just for comparison, the Department of Defense spends around $500 million annually on marching bands. Forkestra is low budget, well actually no budget, and most of our music burned up in the RAC fire. And I would just bet the Navy Band did not play “Beer Barrel Polka” in the parade.

Halfway through the parade my clarinet overheated and I had to rehydrate my reed by pouring water on it — that has never happened before.

This year Demo Derby fans enjoyed the addition of a new food booth. Food booth duty is hot and greasy and this year it was hotter and greasier. The crew sold 72 cases of water, 50 12 packs of soda, cooked 400 burgers and sold 300 of them all in four hours. If you ever really want to have some fun, volunteer for some time in the food booth.

When the parade was over, the Forkestra float took the back roads to get back to Outfitters parking lot. As we stopped on Ash Avenue to let off several members, a car pulled up along side us. We figured they were going to tell us to get out of the way. But, to our delighted surprise a young man leaned out the window and said, “Hey, you guys were our favorite part of the parade.” We all looked at each other and then one of the band members said, “Did you

Celebration, sausage and sunburns

see the Navy Band?“ He said, “Yes, we saw them, you were still our favorite.” I can only guess it was the “Beer Barrel Polka” that won them over.

SUNBURN:I bet you have one.On Sunday afternoon an

amber haze came over the West End, freaking every-one out, and the temperature dropped about 20 degrees. It finally was revealed that fires in Canada were to blame and another Forks Old Fashioned Fourth of July came to an end. It had been different but I still wouldn’t want to spend the Fourth anywhere else.

Finally in an unrelated topic last week someone added my name to the end of my com-mentary and I got a promo-tion, a big one! They left the “i” off of Christi, I apologize for any confusion that may have caused.

Virginia and Ella Robinson were the Forks Chamber of Commerce Tourists of the Day. This mother and daughter duo from Cincin-nati, Ohio, have visited Forks 15 times. Their favorite things about this area are the natural beauty and the friendly people. Virginia is a high school librarian and Ella is going into the fifth grade. Driving the car carrying the Tourists of the Day was Dave Robinson however the two ladies were not related to Dave. Thanks go to Howard Sarnowski for donating the use of his car again this year.

Quilt: A tribute to Logging

What could only be described as a quilting masterpiece, Nancy Brager Johns’ quilt depicting a logging site, was on display this past weekend at the Fourth of July Farwest Art League’s Art Show that was held at the Rainforest Arts Center.

The quilt, which according to Johns, was 12 years in the mak-ing, was amazing in detail. Items included a locomotive, steam donkeys, several trucks, a spar tree with the rigging, miniature suspenders, cork boots, stumps, chainsaws and misery whips.

Refuse To AbuseThese days, professional sports

teams are expected to public-ly address domestic and sexual violence. When they get it wrong, the public lets them hear about it. But that wasn’t always the case.

In 1995, the Seattle Mariners were in a race for the Western Division Pennant and fans ad-opted the phrase “Refuse to Lose” to cheer them on. It was the first time the team advanced to the American League Championship Series and it was a time when no one in professional sports was talking about domestic violence. The Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence (WS-CADV) asked the Mariners if they would collaborate on a do-mestic violence prevention cam-paign. The Mariners response? “Yes. It’s the right thing to do.”

Since that day, the two organi-zations have partnered on this effort. Refuse To Abuse® includes print, radio, and television public service announcements featur-ing prominent Mariners players speaking out against domestic violence and promoting healthy, respectful relationships. Hav-ing credible, professional male athletes speak out on this issue helps send a powerful message to young people.

A few years ago, Refuse To Abuse® expanded to include a 5K fun run/walk to raise money for WSCADV’s violence prevention work and create an opportunity for Mariners fans to join them and help end domestic violence. The only run to take place entirely at Safeco Field—the course goes through every level of the ball-park, from the top to the players tunnel to a final lap around the field—the event encourages par-ticipants to start conversations about healthy relationships with young people and gives them concrete tools to do so.

For the past nineteen years, the Seattle Mariners have done more than just talk about helping raise awareness about this issue, they have stood firm in their leader-ship role. If you need another reason to feel good about cheer-ing for the Mariners, Refuse To Abuse® is a good one.

Register today for the Goodwill Refuse To Abuse® 5K at Safeco Field at refusetoabuse5k.org.

To find the domestic violence program in your community, vis-it wscadv.org or call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or 1-800-787-3224 (TTY).Kelly StarrDirector of CommunicationsWashington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence206-389-2515, ext. [email protected]

FJHS 2014-2015 Honor Roll Fourth Quarter

By Duane Miles

In Part 1 of this par-tial report on ONP trail conditions, the focus was on the three main concerns for early sea-son hikers — windfall debris, stream damage and snow levels. This spring, these usual problems were well below normal, certainly when considering the near lack of snow, even above 4,000 feet.

So if you haven’t as yet gone backpacking this year, you might have missed a great op-portunity to enjoy an outdoor venture at a time when normal early season problems are mini-mal and at the same time other conditions don’t as yet exist.

These conditions include the following: insect hordes, competition for preferred campsites and the exception-ally pleasant weather. However if your schedule allows it, there still might be a chance to take advantage of this window of opportunity.

As this report now comes to press though, a lot has changed in regard to the condition of the various trails soon to be mentioned. For it seems that since this writer first examined these trails starting in February, many already have been trod-den by the hoof and boot prints of trail crew mules and men.

So, as of late May, most trails are completely open — such as Sol Duc to Hoh — even for horsemen. Such an occur-rence as this doesn’t happen

this early very often! The next paragraphs will contain more specific details about the fol-lowing trail systems: Bogachiel, Hoh, South Fork Hoh, Queets and Quinault, plus a new addition — the Elwha.

• Sol Duc: As stated above.

• Bogachiel: A trail crew employed by the ONP through the Washington Conservation Corps was seen by this writer as they camped near Mosquito Creek on the Bogachiel in late May. The only real windfall challenge is a large spruce cov-ering an S curve just beyond Flapjack Camp. My thought is that a simple reroute would be the easiest way to handle this matter. Perhaps this has been done by now.

• Hoh: By a stroke of good fortune I was in the right place to get a photo of trail crew pack animals heading for the Hoh trailhead, also in May. The regular Park Service trail crew which had been working in this area now has this path open to Glacier Meadows. It has been reported to me — in late May — that a few stalwart mountaineers already have scaled Mount Olympus.

• South Fork Hoh: As for the South Fork of the Hoh trail, there is only one major obstacle, a huge spruce not far from the end of the maintained trail. An obvious hiker cre-ated reroute to the north easily allows travelers to bypass this

Chatting Around the Campfire

Olympic National Park 2015 Trail Report — Part 2

obstruction which probably won’t be removed anytime soon.

• Queets: Because so much of the Queets trail passes through old homestead land which has been formerly logged, there are very few large trees to cause trail obstructions at any single point all the way to what is left of Pelton shelter. The only major problems — as I observed in early May — is a trail washout just upstream from Paradise Creek and a cou-ple windfalls just down river from there. Other than that the only other general difficulty is that of sometimes losing the trail. This trail is not yet ready for horse use. However, when this situation changes some-time this summer — due to the sole efforts of certified trail worker Ernie Vail — be sure to thank him if you happen to see him along the way.

• North Fork of the Quinault’s Irely Creek: This trail is fast becoming unfriend-ly to hikers. However, it is passable for those determined to walk the Skyline Trail — this is not a stock trail.

• East Fork Quinault: With the exception of the windfall shown in Part 1, as of mid- April, this trail had only a few obstacles for ambitious hikers

in the first 6.5 miles — the farthest point this hiker trav-eled. Perhaps this trail is now cleaned up, even for horses.

• North Fork Quinault: As of June 11, a trail crew had been as far as Halfway House, which is less than a quarter mile up river from Wild Rose Creek. When I passed through there, the crew had pulled out — I’ve been told they work only eight-day stretches. On that passage I was in the morning of the fourth day of a hike from the Elwha’s Whiskey Bend trailhead with hiking buddy Bill White. It might be some time before this trail will allow horsemen to reach the end of their allowable ascent near Low Divide.

• Elwha: Fresh sawdust was not seen here beyond a point just out of sight of the trail-head. Windfalls spanning the trail are now problematic for hikers — and impassable for horses — from time to time, all the way to Lake Mary near 3,600 feet. The ONP does not allow horsemen to ride beyond the plateau surrounding Chi-cago Camp, some 25 miles up this trail at around 2,000 feet.

May light for your feet guide you on the path of life until we meet again.

By Jane Hielman

Tyler Gillies floated on into the Co-op on Saturday after-noon last, white-faced and windblown!

He started by saying, “I’m hungry!” That was obvious and so the conversation started with his wants and needs. As he ate, he started to share his story, my favorite part of serving at the Co-op, where we meet the most interesting of folk.

Tyler told me he was from Rialto, Calif., and he moved to Seattle in 2000. He told me of his loves, firstly his family; a wonderful supportive wife and two great little girls, secondly music, and thirdly his love of bikes with a purpose. He has developed his love of bikes into to a thirst for bikes for transportation or utility bikes as they are known in his busi-ness, bikes with trailers, shop-ping carts and those that are built for long-distance riding.

As he gained power and a smile, he told me that he had left Seattle in the wee small

hours of the morning last Sat-urday and had ridden his bike to Clallam Bay by 4 p.m.! That he was refueling and head-ing for Neah Bay and Cape Flattery before heading back to Port Angeles for the night. His predicted time of arrival in P.A. was to be 1.30 a.m.! In my humorous way I suggested that there was a bus out of Neah bay to Sappho in the evening of a Saturday!

The way this journeying happens is that he stops every 3 to 4 hours for food, eating out of gas stations and adding nutritional chews to the mix.

He plans his journey accord-ing to a 14.5-hour riding day. “Once I rode a 1,200 km ride from Monroe to the south-ern border of Oregon over to the Cascades, Mazama and back to Seattle,” he said with excited eyes. “It is fun! There is something magic about the pace of a bike! It is walking speed and the challenge is stickability!”

“For four years now I have been riding ‘Randonneur-

Adventurous Happenings on the Northwest CoastSleeping on the Wheel!

ing Style’ — this is a French tradition, most folk who do it are older than me, 10 or 20 years older and I just love their stories, they motivate me. They talk in terms of the roads they have traveled and collect roads as their successes.”

I asked about riding on the trail systems and he was happy to tell me that he rode the Olympic Discovery Trail from east of Sequim to P.A. “It is

very open and cool, I ride care-fully as I know I am sharing with all sorts of users,” Tyler said.

“My funniest experience was in the middle of a 250-mile ride. We all turned the corner as a group and there right in front of us was a town parade. We stopped in awe as there had been no warning of it coming up or prior advertisement of its date. On a float in the middle

of parade with the whole town witnessing the event was a wedding being solemnized. It was awesome to see the com-munity so involved and in such a fun way.”

“The scariest was when I fell asleep riding. It was at the end of a 600 km ride, mesmerized by the person in front of me, I felt the suction of a huge hole forming in front of my bike, my foot felt like it was being drawn down into the hole and I knew I was falling, which suddenly woke me up still on my bike and still heading forward. Much to my surprise and delight!”

This led to my next question. “How do you stay focused on long rides?” Tyler said, “On a 30-hour ride, I ride 14.5 and sleep 3 hours at a time. We are pulled out of the race by a caller, we sleep and then when our time is up we are woken and then someone else is called and so it goes!”

NOTICE OF RECEIPT OF CONDITIONALUSE APPLICATION

William and Susan Brager590 East Division Street

Forks, Washington

Pursuant to the Forks Zoning Code, specifically FMC 17.85 and FMC 17.120, notice is hereby provided with regard to the fact that the City has received an application for a conditional use permit. The application was submitted by the applicant on 24 Jun 2015. Application included the necessary SEPA checklist. The following information is provided regarding the application:

Applicant: William & Susan Brager P.O. Box 763 Forks, WA 98331

Location of Property: 590 East Division, Forks, Washington Legal DescriptionProperty: Lot 2 of the Miller Shortplat, Southeast Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of Sec. 9, T 28 N, R 13 W, W.M., Clallam County. Tax Id. Parcel No. 1328091490200000.

ProjectDescription: William and Susan Brager are seeking a conditional use permit to utilize the former single family residence located at 590 East Division as a vacation rental property whereby the residence would be rented for periods of one to 29 nights to a set of guests. Such rental would be subject to sales and lodging taxes and be managed by the Bragers. The approximately 1600 sq. ft. residence would utilize the existing private drive and the three on-site, off-street parking spaces located on the ~1.5 acre lot. The property is zoned moderate residential (R-3) pursuant to FMC 17.30 and a “B&B inn” requires a conditional use permit. The Forks Zoning Code does not currently have a recreational/vacation rental property use designated within the land use matrix found at FMC 17.15.060. In the past, such proposals have been in- terpreted to be of the same type of facility as a bed and breakfast use. As a result, this permit is being processed under those rules.

Property has city water, city sewer, and electrical provided already. No additional improvements, other than applicable compliance with lodging regulations which may include the Americans with Disabilities Act, are expected or required.

Hearing Required and Public Comment: The Forks Zoning Code requires that a hearing on a conditional use permit be held after sufficient notice has been given to the public. Written comments may be filed up to and through out the actual hearing. Such comments should be sent to Mr. Fleck at the address noted below. Notice of public hearing is being disseminated along with this notice. The public hearing on this matter is sched- uled for Wednesday, 22 July 2015 at 5:30 P.M. in the City Council Chambers at Forks City Hall. The purpose of the hearing is to obtain information from nearby landowners regarding impacts or concerns they may have with this proposal.

Approval and AppealProcess: Within 21 days of the public hearing, the Forks Planning Commission may authorize the conditional use permit.

In reviewing a conditional use permit, the Forks Planning Commission may attach thereto such conditions regarding the location, character, and/or other features of the proposed use as the commission deems necessary in the public interest, in the interest of furthering the purpose of the Forks Zoning Code, and for the purpose of fulfilling the Forks Comprehensive Plan. These conditions must be stated in writing as part of the permit and must state the connection between the use, condition and public interest being in- voked.

Appeal Process

The Forks Planning Commission shall report to the City Council its findings regarding an application for a conditional use permit within fifteen (15) days of its decision. Any affected party, including a member of the City Council may appeal the decision to the City Council within fifteen (15) days of the date the report of the Forks Planning Commission is issued to the City Council.

The appeal shall be filed in writing with the city clerk on forms established for this purpose. Once a hearing time is established proper notification shall be given concerning time, place and purpose of such a hearing and shall be in conformance with FMC 17.135, et al. Upon receipt of the appeal the city clerk shall publicize and schedule a public hearing by the council.

The City Council within twenty-one (21) days of the close of the hearing shall affirm, reverse, remand, or modify (including attaching additional conditions) the decision of the Forks Planning Commission.

Individuals needing a copy of the application materials, or requiring additional information regarding this notice should contact Rod Fleck, City Attorney/Planner at 360/374-5412, ext. 245 or at 500 East Division, Forks, WA 98331.

The purpose of the public hearing regarding the Conditional Use Permit is to determine whether the Forks Planning Commission should approve or deny the permit application of William & Susan Brager. In addition, the Planning Commission may attach requirements to the development as part of any approval of the Brager’s application. Such conditions could involve the location, character, and/or other features of the proposed use as the commission deems necessary in the public interest, in the interest of furthering the purpose of the Forks Zoning Code, and/or for the purpose of fulfilling the Forks Comprehensive Plan. These conditions would be stated in writing as part of the permit and would state the connection between the use, condition and public interest being preserved or protected.

WRITTEN COMMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED BY THE FORKS PLANNING DIRECTOR UP TO AND TO THE CLOSE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING ON 22 July 2015. Address all such comments to Rod Fleck, City Attorney/Planner, 500 East Division, Forks, WA 98331. Comments may be delivered to City Hall at 500 East Division during the course of regular business hours. All written comments must be received by the City Planner prior to the close of the public hearing on 22 July 2015. Copies of the Application or SEPA Checklist can be obtained from Mr. Fleck.

Individuals requiring special accommodations to participate in this hearing should contact Mr. Fleck at 360/374-5412, ext. 245 so that such accommodations can be arranged prior to the hearing. Individuals with questions regarding this notice, and its attachment, should contact Mr. Fleck at the number above.PUB: FF July 9, 2015 Legal No:

SEPA Rules - WAC 197-11-970 Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance (MDNS)

Description ofproposal: Conversion of a 1995 single family residential building of approximately 1600 sq. ft. located at 590 East Division as a vacation rental property whereby the residence would be rented for periods of one to 29 nights to a set of guests. Such rental would be subject to sales and lodging taxes and be managed by the Bragers. Access would be provided by the existing private drive and the three on-site, off-street parking spaces located on the ~1.5 acre lot. Zoning code requires a conditional use permit for such activities. As a result a completed SEPA Checklist and determination is required.

Location ofproposal: The proposed project is located at Lot 2 of the Miller Shortplat, Southeast Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of Sec. 9, T 28 N, R 13 W, W.M., Clallam County. Tax Id. Parcel No. 1328091490200000.

Lead Agency: Rod Fleck, City Attorney/Planner City Planning Department, City of Forks. 500 East Division Forks, Washington 98331

ProposedProject: Applicant is simply seeking a change in the use of an existing 1995 modular single family residence into a vacation rental that would allow the building to be rented by vacationers/travelers for periods of a few days to a few weeks. Proposed change in use will rely upon existing utilities, building foot- print, and off-street parking for duplexes. While not a “per se bed and breakfast,” based upon the description provided by the applicant, that use appeared to be the most like use described within the zoning code. SEPA compliance is required of special use permits. Prior SEPADocuments: None associated with this project.

Mitigation required:

• All exterior lighting must be placed in such a manner as to ensure that the light reflects downward thereby reducing glare.

• All signage must comport with the City’s sign code. Offsite signage, if any proposed, must comport with the sign code as well.

• Parking must be identified on site rather than relying upon street parking. Parking must comport with FMC 17.75.060 and be in a manner that can be easily identified by guests/users.

• While the proposal is not occurring as a typical bed and breakfast opera- tion, an inspection is required pursuant to FMC 17.75.060(3) by the fire chief/fire inspector. This is to ensure that compliance with state and local fire codes occurs regarding ingress and egress from the rooms and building.

• Further review of the facility may be required by local building officials to determine if the change in use would require compliance with the Ameri- cans with Disabilities Act. If such compliance is required, applicant will need to make the necessary improvement prior to engaging in the request- ed use.

The Lead Agency has determined that the above items do not have a probable significant adverse impacts based upon the proposed mitigation required above. An environmental impact statement (EIS) is not required under RCW 43.21C.030(2). This decision was made after review of a complete environmental checklist and other information on file with the lead agency and upon the following findings. This information is available to the public on request.

This MDNS is issued under 197-11-340 (2); the lead agency will not act on this proposal for a period of 14 days from the date of issuance to allow for DOE review and comment, as well as comments from the general public.

Comments must be submitted to the City Planner at:

Rod Fleck, City Attorney/Planner Forks City Hall 500 East Division Forks, Washington 98331

Comments will be accepted up to 5 p.m., 16 July 2015. The City will review said comments together to determine the impact upon the stated MDNS. Submittal of comments is not the same as a written appeal of this determination.

You may appeal this determination no later than 5 p.m., 16 July 2015, by filing a written appeal with the City Clerk of Forks at 500 East Division, Forks, Washington 98331. You should be prepared to make specific factual objec- tions. The appeal must be received prior to 5 P.M. Contact Rod Fleck at 360/374-5412, ext. 245 to read or ask about the procedures for appeals. _______________________________ Date: 1 July 2015William R.
