FINDINGS OF FACT,
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW,
AND RECOMMENDATION
THIS MATTER came before Gordon S. Jones, Pro Tem Hearing
Examiner for the City of Winslow, on January 31, 1985, at 6:30 p.m.,
for a public hearing to consider an apDlication submitted by the
Washington State Department of Transportation for a Shoreline
Substantial Development Permit. Applicant was represented by
Ben Klein and Rex L. Heberden, and the City of Winslow was repre-
sented by A1 Grajeda.
.. The witnesses were sworn in, testified and were subject to
cross-examination. From such testimony, together with Exhibits 1 - 12
contained within the public file and admitted into evidence in this
proceeding, the Hearing Examiner makes and enters the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
The instant property is located on a pier at the State of
Washington Ferry Maintenance Facility, at the foot of Harbor View
Drive, in Winslow, Washington. Said property is within the Industrial
Use Zone under the City of Winslow Master Shoreline Program.
II.
Applicant proposes to construct a new structure, approximately
38 feet by 38 feet, to be used as a paint storage facility, and to
add onto an existing building a selfcontained storage facility
measuring approximately 16 by 12 feet. The purpose of the new
building and the addition is for the storage of fla~fu~able liquids
such as gasoline, lacquer, lacquer thinnet, naptham, mineral spirits,
turpentine, varnish and kerosene. This construction was prompted
due to Department of Labor and Industry regulations prohibiting the
storage of such materials in their present locations.
III.
The building and the addition are being designed to conform
to Department of Labor and Industry guidelines relating to health
and hazard conditions of storing such materials, so as to reduce the
current risks of waste materials entering the water, of fire or
explosion.
IV.
This proposal was presented to the ~qinslow Planning Agency on
DeCember 13, 1984, and the Agency unanimously recommended approval
of the Shoreline Substantial Development PeanUt, subject to: 1)
Installation of a pump in the paint storage building, 2) Adequate
fire protection in both buildings, and 3) Construction of the new
building being made with regard to potential explosion and fire.
V.
It would appear that the Applicant has designed the new
structure and addition of the. existing building to provide for a
high standard of safety against fire, explosion and spills. The City's
Land Use Administrator voiced some concern that the project should be
required to keep on hand a portable pump to assist in cleaning up
spills.
VI.
Notice of this public hearing was duly published by the 'City of
-2-
Winslow Clerk on January 16, 1985 and January 23, 1985.
VII.
A Determination of Non-Significance was prepared by the T~ad
Agency and sent to the City of Winslow on November 2, 1984.
VIII~
Other than the representatives from Applicant and City of
Winslow Land Use Administrator, no other individuals appeared at
the hearing.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact the Hearing Examiner
makes and enters the following:
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
I.
The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction over the subject matter.
II~
/ The proposed project is a permitted use within the area within
t/~at it is located.
III.
Proper application was made by the Applicant for the instant
Shoreline Substantial Development Pe~it.
IV.

V.

-3-
'established by the Washington State Environmental Policy Act and
Shorelines Management Act.
RECOMMENDATION
The application for the Shoreline Substantial Development
Permit made by the Washington State Department of TransportatiOn
should be granted subject to the Department's assurances that a
portable pumping device will at all times be on hand at the 'premises,
and further subject to the project complying with all applicable
building and fire codes and regulations.
DATED the 18th of February, 1985.
