Construction to begin on DNR headquarters

shop and warehouse on the Washington State Department of Natural Resources Olympic Region headquarters in Forks. The building will replace one destroyed in a fire on Jan. 2, 2013.

The building is central to DNR’s operations in the Olympic Region as the hub for the agency’s recreation and wildfire prevention programs and as a shop for vehicle, technology and equipment maintenance and repair.

Longest Night ServiceDear Editor,The Congregational Church

will be holding its Longest Night Service on Sunday Dec. 20, at 6 p.m.

This is a hard time of the year when days are getting shorter and the holiday season is upon us and we are supposed to be happy and cheerful. But for many in our community this is not a happy time of the year, maybe it is the first Christmas without a loved one.

Or maybe you have lost someone in the past and this time of year brings feelings of loneliness, having to take care of a family member that is sick or in and out of the hospital, loss of employment or just feel-ing empty inside.

This is a reassuring time to get together and know that you are not alone. There are people that love you and support you on your life journey no matter where you might be.

I wanted to get this out early so community members would have time to get an ornament to hang on the memory tree. Members of our community have been putting ornaments on this tree since 1993. If you bring an ornament to put on the tree, please write on it so in future years, when we put

Barney has RetiredDear Editor,On the occasion of my retir-

ing from the Windfall Thrift Store (and speaking also for the Forks Abuse Program as well as myself) I wish to ex-press deepest gratitude to the folks of Forks for your generosity, your patronage and in many instances, your

friendship.The respect, laughs and

incredible honesty that I have been afforded during my five years of waiting on you at the store have given me the

most satisfying work experi-ence I have ever had — period. Imagine having only one check bounce and just two failed promises-to-pay-later happen while I was behind the counter! Amazing!

Anyway, thanks so much ev-eryone for helping support the Forks Abuse Program through your donations to and patron-age of Windfall and thank you also for the distinct pleasure of serving you. Thanks, too, to Randy Simmons and Bob Otis for your company and ceaseless volunteer efforts.

Happy trails and best wishes from Mary and me and every-one at the Forks Abuse Pro-gram for a Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year.

Very Sincerely,Barney Munger

Could the fire department get to your house?

Forks and Beaver fire departments, as well as Quillayute and LaPush fire departments, are having issues getting to properties when a fire call comes in.

Can the fire truck get to your home? Are there branches hanging too low or other obstacles in the way? All departments need roads and/or driveways to have access 14 feet high and 12 feet wide.

81

Longtime Forks resident Donald (Don) Fred Markham died with his wife Doris at his side on November 29, 2015 in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the age of 81. His death was unexpected; his immediate family was fortunate to be able to spend his last couple of days surrounding him, talking with him, giving him affection, praying with him, and loving in the same unconditional manner which he

had loved them.Don was born to Arthur Roy Markham and Dorothy

Georgina Nelson in Colby, Kitsap County, Washington. Don grew up with his mother, father, and aunts while attending South Kitsap High School where he played football until graduation in 1953.

He spent two years in the army before joining the Corps of Engineers and then the United States Forest Service where he retired as a Civil Engineer in 1994.

Don was a lover of the outdoors, animals, hiking, mountain-road drives, country and western music, and spending time with his family.

He was a kind and gentle soul; everyone who knows Don speaks of his warm smiles, pleasant demeanor, bright and funny personality and overall kindness that made him adored by so many people.

Don stayed active after retirement by volunteering for the Forks Assembly of God, delivering the Peninsula Daily News, and going back to Engineering while working for Skillings-Connolly Engineering out of Lacey.

Doris, whom me married in 1960, described him as the greatest man that she’s ever known and as the best surprise of her life (neither of them having imagined, when they met each other, marrying and staying happy for 55 years!)

Don was preceded in death by his father, Arthur Roy Markham, Mother, Dorothy Nelson, Brother Roy Markham and Grandson James Markham.

He is survived by his loving wife Doris; his son Roger Allen Markham; daughters Rhonda (Markham) Sinex and Lori Markham; his adopted Alex (born Kenneth Donald Markham); as well as his estranged children Edna Marie (Markham) Klahn and Donald James “Butch” Markham. Don also had many grandchildren and great-grandchildren who were the joy and light of his life!

Don and Doris moved to the midwest in 2006, eventually settling in Henderson, Minnesota. Therefore, there will be a small gathering to remember Don in Henderson, Minnesota and a larger wake/celebration of life on the Olympic Peninsula with his wife, family, and close friends on a date that is to be determined. At his wish no services will be held.

In lieu of fl owers, a donation should be made in his honor to the American Cancer Societies Relay for Life, at relay.acsevents.org

Don’s Facebook page has been memorialized as a tribute/legacy page and can be easily found and accessed for anyone who wishes to share memories about him.

TLAC meeting setA Trust Lands Advisory Committee meeting will be at

1:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 18, in the commissioner’s boardroom, Room 106, at the Clallam County Courthouse. Items listed in the agenda include nominations and appointment of officers, consideration of additional committee members and future meeting scheduling. A draft work plan may be distributed at the meeting.

In the morning hours of Nov. 12, 2015, Catherine Edwards, executive director of the Hoh Tribe, contracted the Olympic Corrections Center for assis-tance with sandbagging. Com-bined with high winds, heavy rain and an estimated 20-foot surf, a succession of storms had backed up the Hoh River near the reservation. The Pacific Ocean was experiencing high waves, pounding surf and super soaker rain events, causing the river to overflow its banks and threaten homes on tribal land with flooding.

Superintendent John Aldana authorized emergency assistance and Shift Commander James O’Hara mobilized a response where Officer Steve Shaw was deployed with a crew of nine offenders who volunteered to assist in the effort.

Aldana and Correctional Pro-gram Manager Jason Bennett traveled to the site and took in the magnitude and force of

the ocean and its impact on the residential areas. In a driving rain and wind event, the facility staff, offender crew and Hoh Tribe Maintenance Department staff member Lester Fisher came together to fill bags and create barriers around affected homes.

Aldana stated, “As good pub-lic stewards and whether it is a wildland fire, a landslide, flooding event or lending logis-tical support, we always come together with our partners and our communities to assist in protecting people, homes and the environment.” The superinten-dent added, “The offender work crews tirelessly labor to accom-

plish the mission at hand and for a moment in time they shed the stigma of being a convicted felon and surface as emergency responders. As such they give so much back to the communities.”

On Nov. 18, as a result of successive damaging storms, Gov. Jay Inslee declared a state of emergency for all areas that had been impacted by the force and magnitude of these weather events.

By Christy Rasmussen-Ford

A few weeks ago, I stood outside the new Puffin Store and watched a pizza delivery car pull up. I thought to myself, “Well, isn’t that ironic?! Someone at THIS store has the munchies? That column is going to write itself!” And just why

was I standing outside a store that sells all things marijuana? Let me start from the beginning …

Occasionally, my friends and I like to get together to take a break away from our kids … and then spend the entire evening talking about our kids. If for some reason we are not talking about our kids, we probably are just looking through our phones to find a pictures of

our kids to show each other. We’re ridiculous. Anyway, on the evening of the munchies incident, we de-

cided to spend our “time away” at the new Puffin on 101 Café. Walking in, I was surprised that the inside of the building didn’t look as familiar as I expected it to. Then again, the last time I was in there was to celebrate my 21st birthday … two weeks after my birthday by the way, because my appendix tried to kill me then.

Back to the point though, the inside of the new restaurant is very nice. The owners did a really nice job on the place. The food was really good too! However, I should mention that I would never make a good food critic. I like food. All food. I will eat anything … with the exception of any type of liver. I just don’t see how any good can come of eating a filter system.

Once we were done with a very delicious dinner (that didn’t include liver), we decided to check out the store upstairs. None of us are partakers in the products they sell, but we wanted to look around anyway. The first part of the store is a gift shop, but there is a door that separates the boys from the men. Literally. There was an ID-Checker-Outer there. That’s the technical term for one who checks ID’s by the way.

My friends all had their ID’s, but I generally leave mine in my car. I told everyone, “I’ll be right back. My ID is in my car.” My ID was not in my car. I instantly flash-backed to the 2,349 times when, carded as a minor, I tried to use that lame excuse. Somehow, here I was again, swearing my ID was in the car … but at 31 years old. I was very embarrassed until I realized that, as a 31-year old, there are worse things than someone assuming you are under 21.

Side note: He probably just asks everyone to show ID be-cause it’s a new store, but I’m going to pretend that he thought I was a minor.

I told my friends I would just wait outside for them. “We’ll be out in a minute!” they replied. 33.7 minutes later they re-turned. I have no idea why they took so long in there, but I did hear one of them offering $40 for a piece of pizza. Ha ha, I’m totally KIDDING! She offered $50.

Puffin review

By Deric Kettel

Has it really been 20 years already? I’ve been asking my-self that since July … July 12 of this summer to be exact. It wasn’t until a couple of months ago when I received a 20-year continuous service award that it all became real.

Back in June of 1995, I had no idea that the University of Washington was even building a facility out here. I’m still not sure why I didn’t know about the construction up on the hill then, perhaps I didn’t read the paper as much as I do now or maybe nobody wrote about it much. Or maybe I just had my head in the sand, I’m not sure what the reason was.

Before coming to the Univer-sity of Washington I was working for the Forks Community Hospi-tal in maintenance and saw a lot of changes there. It was during that time that the new surgery suite as well as the new radiology department along with the new ER and labs were constructed.

The new generator also was installed while I was working there.

Lots of changes, however a new change was about to take place.

Right around the beginning of June of 1995, my wife and her sister-in-law were hired by the general contractor to come in as construction was being finalized to clean up the place. They were just starting a janitorial business and this was their first big job.

Truth be told, and I will get into trouble if I don’t mention this, but the reason I was hired here at the ONRC was because of my wife. She lets me know it a few times a year just to keep me humble.

While cleaning up here, the construction foreman mentioned to her that the university was get-ting ready to post the position for the maintenance mechanic here at the facility.

She brought me home an ap-plication and said, “You should go for it.” So as I filled it out it dawned on me “What if I got the job”? If I took this job, it would be the first time I had ever left another place of employment to take another job. All of the places I have worked at since graduat-

Community Profiles: The University of Washington’s Olympic

Natural Resources Center and me

ing in 1982 either closed or the job ended.

I came up here with the appli-cation I had filled out and met the then director, dropped it off and really not expecting to hear much back, I looked around for a few minutes and went home.

I got a call the next week to come for an interview, I was pretty nervous as most of us are, but I got through it and again I left not really expecting to hear much, and then three days later I got a call and was offered the job, and the rest as they say is history.

I had mixed feelings about leaving the local hospital. I mean, what if I was quitting a job that I already liked to go to one that I didn’t enjoy? Who would I be working with? Would they like me? Would I live up to the expectations that I wrote down in my application? I had more questions bouncing around in my head than answers for sure.

And then there was the fact that the job was only a 70-percent position at about 5.5 hours a day. I talked to a few people and we crunched the numbers and as it turned out I would make as much here at 70 percent as I did at the hospital at 100 percent. So money wasn’t really an issue and in just a couple of months they would move me to 100 percent. While I enjoyed all the folks I worked with at the hospital, I took the leap and accepted the job here.

For about three weeks I worked four hours a day at the hospital and five at the Olympic Natural Resources Center in order for

the hospital to replace me in a reasonable amount of time. So here we are 20 years later and as I look back and think about the years it really has been a great place to work. There have been a few retirements over the years and as of August I became the longest lasting employee here.

I’m right at that age where I’m too old to be looking for a new job and too young to retire, and why would I want to retire from here right? So I guess I better not mess it up huh? I appreciate the University of Washington every day for letting me enjoy a great job here in my small town.

It’s the best of both worlds: I have a great job where I grew up without all of the other stuff that goes along with being over in the big city. I was telling someone from Seattle the other day that I saw another car on the way to work, I mean, come on, that right there is worth more than any amount of money … well almost.

I’m not sure what the future holds for me here at the ONRC, but as far as it depends on me, I’m sticking around for as long as I can.

FORKS FIRE DEPARTMENT, RED CROSS CONDUCTING FIRE PREVENTION CAMPAIGN

Forks Fire Department and the local chapter of the Ameri-can Red Cross are partnering to conduct a fire prevention campaign in Forks on Satur-day, Dec. 12.

Volunteers from the Forks Fire Department, under the leadership of Chief Bill Paul,

will join Red Cross volunteers to canvass the Alder Grove residential area. The volun-teer teams will install smoke alarms in homes that have none, replace batteries on existing alarms and develop an evacuation plan with each home.

This campaign is part of a national Red Cross project to reduce the number of fire deaths and injuries in the United States by 25 percent within five years. According to statistics compiled by the Red Cross, home fires are the biggest disaster threat facing communities.

While many homes have smoke alarms installed, nation-al statistics show that 23 per-cent of home fatalities occur in households with non-operating smoke alarms. It is estimated that 37 percent of households have no smoke alarms at all, putting families and neighbor-hoods at high risk.

Forks Fire Chief Bill Paul said, “This will be an opportu-nity to educate our community and protect our families and neighborhoods.”

MARATHON BINGOThe fourth annual Marathon

Bingo is planned for New Year’s Day at the Forks Elks Lodge from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Ev-eryone participating in regular weekly bingo between now and Jan. 1 will receive a ticket for a chance to win one of two gift baskets to be given away during the Marathon Bingo fundraiser.

MONDAY NOV. 30 The Forks boys basketball

team went to Port Angeles and participated in the annual Pen-insula Basketball Jamboree with Chimacum, Port Townsend and host Port Angeles. Forks squared off in the first 10-minute game with Port Townsend that ended in a 13-13 tie. Since it was a jamboree, there was no overtime situation.

The next game was versus host Port Angeles Roughriders who are coached by Forks High all-time leading scorer Kasey Ulin. Both teams battled and Forks finished the 10-minute quarter winning 24-14.

“I was really happy with what I saw from our guys as far as transition offense and coming out and responding to a varsity game atmosphere,” said head coach Rick Gooding.

TUESDAY DEC. 1Forks opened up the season at

home versus the North Beach Hyaks. It was a non-league sea-son opener for both teams. North Beach head coach Larry Moore and Forks coach Rick Gooding both agreed you could tell it was the first game of the year as there wasn’t a point scored for the first two minutes of the contest.

The game was back and forth with several lead changes but

North Beach’s Austin Perez slipped in the game-winning shot with three seconds to play to knock off Forks 66-64.

Forks went into halftime with a 29-26 lead but were outscored by 10 in the third quarter and went into the fourth quarter down by 7 points.

Forks rallied back and had the best quarter of the game scoring 23 points and taking the lead back in the fourth quarter.

“Going into the fourth, I wasn’t sure how are guys would react. I thought maybe North Beach might keep pulling away. But our guys responded, came out and played like Spartans and took the lead back. Unfortu-nately, we didn’t execute like we wanted to on the last couple of possessions, but that is where we have to use these games as a learning experience and grow to get better.”

Spartans were led by 6’8” ju-nior center Marky Adams who had 22 points on 11-15 shooting from the field and 21 rebounds. “Marky has worked so hard to get to the level he is at right now. The improvements he has made since his freshman year are a testament to the work he has put in,” Gooding said.

Spartans also in double figures were junior wing Parker Brown-ing with 18 points and freshman

wing Cort Prose who chipped in 12 points in his first ever varsity action.

“I know everyone likes to look at who scored in the ball game to see who played well, but to me I am always looking at who blocked out and our defensive rotations,” Good-ing said. Gooding gave credit to sophomore forward Cole Baysinger and junior forward Keishaun Ramsey for having to play minutes at both post and guard position.

Lone senior post Austin Pe-gram provided some valuable minutes and junior wing Carlos Tejano came off the bench and did some good things for the Spartans as well. “Carlos can be a spark plug for sure. He can help us do a lot of things. He does a good job at defensive ro-tations and trying to find a body to block out.”

Also putting in valuable min-utes was junior point guard Jef-frey Schumack. He has missed the majority of the last two seasons due to injury but has worked hard and is one of the leaders on the Spartan basketball team. Schumack led the team with four assists.

Swing players Scott Archibald and Seth Johnson rounded out

the Spartans lineup. “We hate to lose games, but the

only way we get defeated is if we don’t learn from losses. We gave up 18 offensive rebounds and turned the ball over 21 times against a pretty good North Beach team and took the game to the wire and lost on a last-second shot. If we tighten some things up and continue to improve, I think we will be just fine. This group of guys has some fight in them and I know we are going to see some great improvements this year,” Gooding said.

Forks played Tuesday, Dec. 8, against Rochester at FHS and will play Friday, Dec. 11, at Elma.

competitive action at the high school level. The team was led by junior post Scott Archibald and freshmen guards Seth John-son and Brandon Baar.

“Brandon was able to get open and hit a few shots in the second half. Seth made some much needed free throws and Race Decker came up with some great defensive plays,” JV coach Keith Weekes said. Weekes also commented that first-year

BASKETBALL, from page 7 player Austin Flores, who is a sophomore post, really started to show what he could be capable of in becoming a strong player in the paint.

“Overall, we didn’t play near our best or what we can be ca-pable of and we still had multiple chances to get the win, we just let it slip away at the end. If we can clean up all the little things, this season can be a promising one for the JV program,” Weekes said.

Santa got a real workout at the annual Breakfast with Santa event at the Congregational Church last Saturday. Children of all ages, Chuck and Pura Carlson included, got their photo with the jolly fellow. Over 300 breakfasts were served and 110 photos taken between 8-11 a.m. Volunteers kept the food coming and the table cleared during the morning. Breakfast with Santa is a joint event sponsored by the church and West End Business and Profes-sional Association.

On Friday afternoon all was ready at the Akalat in LaPush for the Cherish Our Children fundraiser. So many wonderful donations for the live and silent auc-tions were offered for bid. The amount raised for the evening was $22,230. Photo Christi Baron

After the Santa Bucks drawing on Saturday many drawing attendees took time to check out the trees all decked out for the Soroptimist’s Festival of Trees and silent auction event held at the Rainforest Arts Center this year. The auction held on Sunday raised around $15,000 for SIORF activities and charities. Photo Christi Baron

Last Friday U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer hosted the first of five public meetings featuring the Olympic Peninsula Forest Collaborative, a new panel of industry leaders and conservation groups working to increase timber harvests while helping the environment in Olympic National Forest.

The meeting was held at the Olympic Natural Resources Center and four more public meet-ings of the collaborative will be held next year in Mason, Grays Harbor, Jefferson and Clallam counties.

While the panel was optimistic about the future benefit of the collaborative, several in the audience voiced the opinion it may be too little, too late. During the question and answer period logger Jim Bower questioned the skip-and-gap logging like the collaborative envisions for the pilot project and said as a businessman the experiment was “not a money-maker.” Former Forks mill owner Don Grafstrom told the group how he had to close his mill in 1992 as timber was left to rot on Ellis Mountain, and although he has moved on to another career, now as president of the Forks Chamber of Commerce, he is having to deal with the fact the Chamber can no longer do its logging and mill tour because the last mill on the West End, Allen’s, has closed.

Thursday, Dec. 10, 2015 • 13FORKS FORUM

By Chiggers StokesSpecial to The Forks Forum

In conclusion of my story on alternative energy, I always have wanted to impart the advice I got from a lifelong do-it-yourselfer about harness-ing gensets. The lodge/resort where he worked was inholding to a wil-derness section of the Rogue.

There were two old gensets both undersized to the job of moving large amounts of water from a deep well. He said he wired both genset outputs with an extension cord running from one into the other. He opened up the exten-sion cord and to bare the hot/black wire. To each two hot wires running back to the gensets, he attached a series connection 110 volt, incandescent light.

With both gensets running, the sine wave, frequency disparity caused the bulb to illuminate. By adjusting the throttle of either genset, the light would increase or decrease in illumination. When the light went out it was safe to disconnect the light and switch both gensets in parallel circuit to the load of the pump.

The gensets were entrained, connected by a common electri-cal field. They were slaves to one another. If one genset runs out of gas, the other will go down trying

True Color Part 32

to turn its partner’s dead rotor. It is electrical fields connecting moving copper remotely — matter obeying some invisible force of Nature.

If I had more time on earth to share my scant wisdom about al-

ternative energy, I would emphasize the need for skylights and other natu-ral lighting when build-ing in the rain forest clime. Many people will tell you that skylights always leak. That may be an overstatement, but goes to the importance

of flashing. Few people have less understand-

ing of flashing than I, but I have constructed many skylights on the Flying S that didn’t leak and a few that did. Nonetheless, when it came to building this 3,000-square-foot home in which I currently reside, I contracted out the roof and nine skylights to Brian Moody. In 15 years of living under this roof, not a drop of rain has invaded this space.

Part of living off the grid is know-ing how to do things yourself, but part of it is knowing when you need professional help and mak-ing sure that critical expertise is applied to crucial projects.

I have written almost 32 articles on the subject of alternative energy and somehow failed to mention the issue of phantom loads. These are things like old instant-on TVs, computer monitors, motion detect-ing lights, mobile land-line phones

and such. They actually can amount to a

fair amount of energy and will prevent load seeking inverters to shut down properly. One remedy is to put all computer devices, stereo and entertainment systems and such on multi-outlet rocker switches.

Another approach is to know precisely the time weighted watt-age of such intermittent loads as freezers or refrigerators. Inexpen-sive watt meters from the Internet can give you this.

I was 23 years old when I walked away from the grid. I am 65 years old now. Three years ago I learned that I have cancer. The radiation treatments I sought controlled the cancer in my prostate.

But before modern medicine declared nuclear war on part of my reproductive system, the cancer jumped ship. Cancer set up house in my lymph glands, where it was able to travel. I recently learned of this metastasis and have had to roll back my life expectancy. Life regrets include the reflection that I was more a father to my hydroelec-tric scheme than I was to my flesh and blood daughter in the years that we lived under the same roof.

I live in a big, warm, dry house that I built myself, under the roof with skylights built by Brian Moody. Rain is currently falling on that roof. The same rain that falls on my creek.

I’m typing these words with wa-ter power from that creek. The cof-fee I drank this morning was water from that creek. The stream power allows thoughts to type words to conclude a story about alternative energy that is smeared over three

years of the Forks Forum. 92 percent of the blood that is

pumped by my heart is water. The brain that conceives these closing remarks is 75 percent water. The rain falling on the roof, the stream that powers the computer, the creek water that served me caffeine in the form of coffee, my blood and even my thoughts are of the same rain on its way to the ocean.

I stand in awe of myself. With so little innate ability, against such ignorance, with such reluctance to read a book on the subject and with so little invested in professional help (but more than a little help from my friends), I built a farm that powers itself.

These 32 articles have chronicled mistakes I made along the way. Persistence and determination were qualities upon which I deeply depended. To anyone aspiring to re-wire their life with alternative energy, I would wish them much of those two attributes.

The other side of the coin, is knowing when to throw in the towel and sell the farm. This is the side of the coin that landed face up last week with a needle through

two-thirds of my body. It was a biopsy to confirm the concentra-tion of cancer in my lymph glands.

So along, with the conclusion of this column on alternative energy, I am quitting this farm. And, if one is quitting a column AND quitting a farm, what better way to go out than posting an advertisement in the context of a column on alterna-tive energy?

FOR SALE – 18½ acre farm, 10 miles from Forks, two miles from Olympic National Park. Powered by two micro hydroelectrics and 1.2 photovoltaic scheme. All cedar, 3,000-square-foot house is 4 bed-room, two baths. Two rental cabins, two wells, two septic systems, three large barns, two greenhouses, two ¼ acre fenced gardens, ¼ mile of Hemp Hill Creek, meadows, old-growth forest, truck bridges, large shop. Wildlife habitat protected by Conservation easement. MAKE AN OFFER.

Quitting a farm is one thing and quitting a column is another. But by whatever wind that is left in me and not pure flatulence, I wish to convey my world view.

An example of world view is: All of us are dying, but some of us faster than others. My dying request is that you, dear readers, join me for my next column which will explore world view and the Meaning of everything.

CALL FOR AMENDMENTS

The City of Forks is hereby soliciting proposed changes to the Forks Urban Growth Area (FUGA) Comprehensive Plan. The current FUGA Compre- hensive Plan was adopted by the City Council in February of 1996, and revised in 2005. In addition, the Forks Municipal Code notes that zoning code amendments that would be inconsistent with the ex- isting Comprehensive Plan can only be considered on an annual basis. The City is also undertaking a review of the Comprehensive Plan as part of a state-mandated review and updating process that will take two-three years.

The following is the schedule of events associated with the changing of the FUGA Comprehensive Plan, and or the Forks Zoning Code where pro- posed changes would be inconsistent with the FUGA Comprehensive Plan. Updates associated zoning designations and land use designations will be considered by the Council in accordance with this timeline:

10 Feb - Deadline for submission of amendments (this deadline shall be advertised three times prior to that date in the City’s journal of record).

18 Feb - Review by City Council and Staff of items to be forwarded for consideration by the City Plan- ning Commission

The following is an estimated timeline for review and consideration of proposed amendments re- ceived as a result of this call:

Forks Zoning CodeCall for Issues,

Changes, Amendment

Pursuant to Forks Municipal Code Chapter 17.115, the City of Forks is hereby soliciting proposed changes and amendments to the Forks Zoning Code – FMC Title 17.

Requested changes could include:• Applicants wanting to obtain change of zoning

designations, or change of existing zoning boundaries;

• Clarifications of existing code language;• Add i t ions to the land use mat r i x (FMC

17.15.060); etc .

Proposals can be for property within the City al- ready subject to the Forks Zoning Code, as well as property within the Forks Urban Growth Area where zoning has been proposed and would take place upon annexation of such properties into the City of Forks.

Individuals wanting proposals to be considered by the Planning Commission need to submit their pro- posed zoning amendment request in writing to the City prior to 31 December 2015. If the proponent is requesting a change to a property’s current zoning designation, the application must include a list of the name(s), mailing address(es), and property de- scription of the legal owners of property subject to the requested change.

The City may propose modifications to the zoning code during this period of time as well addressing interpretation issues, notice requirements, and/or other issues raised over the past year.

In January, all received requests for amendments will be reviewed by City Staff, as well as reviewed under the State Environmental Policy Act. At its meeting in either February or March 2016, or pos- sibly at a subsequent month, the Forks Planning Commission may hold a public hearing on the pro- posed amendments. Following that hearing, the Commission would make recommendations on the proposed amendments to the Forks City Council. Any action by the Council would only occur follow- ing a properly noted public hearing.

If you need information on the zoning code, infor- mation on how your property is zoned, or proposed for zoning (outside of the City of Forks but within the Forks Urban Growth Area), or if you have any questions, please contact Mr. Fleck at 360/374- 5412, ext. 245; or via e-mail at rodf.forks@forks- washington.org. Individuals wanting to obtain notic- es of meetings of the Forks Planning Commission and/or City Council regarding the amendments to the Forks Zoning Code can contact Mr. Fleck as well.Pub: FF Nov. 26, Dec. 10, 2015 Legal No.669603
