RE: Lots 2 -8 inclusive, Block 4, Tidelands East of Laurel Street
Dear Mr. Austin:
As you have explained your aquaculture operation, you proposed to
raise oysters for personal consumption, which will not require any
structures other than oyster racks and seed bags, placed 18" off
the bottom, in 10' of water at Mean High Higher Water (MHHW); the
project will not cost more than $2500 and will not materially inter-
fere with normal public use of the water: No shoreline permit will
be required for the use as described herein.
You have previously received a full refund for fees submitted by
you for consideration of a shoreline management permit and SEPA
determination. No SEPA determination was made by the City due to
the fact that there is no City action on this project.
A hydraulics permit must be obtained from the Department of Fisheries
and Department of Wildlife prior to commencement of the aquaculture
facility.
If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact
this Department.

Re: Austin Property Access
Dear Craig:
This is in response to your February 22, 1989 letter asking
the City to confirm in writing its agreement that your client,
Gerry Austin, has a private easement over Railroad Avenue from
Lincoln Street east to his property and over Francis Street and
Victoria Street west to his property. Your letter acknowledges
that the City could prohibit the use of one or the other of these
accesses without taking the property through the denial of all
access and may condition the use of either or both of these
accesses.
I am authorized to confirm on the City's behalf that the
City will agree that Lots 2 through 9, Block 4, Tidelands East,
City of Port Angeles, have a private right of easement over
Victoria Street and Francis Street subject to certain conditions.
Such agreement on the City's part is conditioned upon Mr. Austin
complying with any and all necessary permitting and regulatory
requirements, not interfering with the waterfront trail, and
acknowledging that he has no access rights over Railroad Avenue
from Lincoln Street east to his property and has no right to
require the City to improve, or pay for improvements to, Francis
or Victoria Streets in order to facilitate access to his
property.
The types of permitting and regulatory requirements that
could apply to developing the access from Francis and Victoria
Streets west to the Austin property include, but are not limited
to, the Shoreline Management Act, the State Environmental Policy
Act, and City ordinances governing right -of -way use, right -of -way

construction and excavation, construction near City utilities
and easements, and zoning. During the permitting process the City
will consider all related government actions that may be
necessary to address pursuant to SEPA and will require any
private access along Francis and Victoria Streets to be designed
and constructed so as to preserve the integrity of the adjacent
bluff.
The City is unwilling to acknowledge a private easement with
regard to Railroad Avenue for several reasons. One is the lack of
available space for a private driveway without interfering with
the waterfront trail and the industrial water pipeline. Another
is that the City has likely acquired any private access rights in
Railroad Avenue by prescriptive use and Austin's predecessors
have likely abandoned any private access rights. In the case of
Victoria Street, however, the facts that would support such
prescriptive use and abandonment do not appear as documentable
and there appears to be more available space for constructing a
private drive without interfering with the waterfront trail and
the industrial water pipeline.

SUBJ: Lots 5 through 9, Block 4, Tidelands East
Gerald Austin
Thank you for your Department's research on the placing of dirt in the
Chase Street right -of -way adjacent to Gerald Austin's property on Lots 2
through 9, Block 4, Tidelands East, Port Angeles, and for your photographs of
the wetland, on November 22, 1988. The information has been very helpful in
reviewing the Department of Ecology's notice of violation sent to Gerald
Austin. The following findings apply to the violation:
1. On March 1, 1988, City crews placed dirt in the right -of -way, in two
berms, between a stormwater runoff trench and the existing wetland, on
Mr. Austin's property, leaving a gap between the berms that would allow
interaction between the wetland on Mr. Austin's property, the wetland
west of his property and Port Angeles Harbor.
2. On April 1, 1988, at Mr. Austin's insistence, City crews placed dirt in
the gap between the two berms making it one continuous berm, and
separating the wetland on Mr. Austin's property from the wetland west of
it, and from the Harbor.
3. The photographs of November 22, 1988, show that the City placed berm
prevents the exchange of salt water with the wetland on Mr. Austin's
property.
Consequently, the City action caused the violation of the Shoreline
Management Act and is preventing the normal functioning of the wetland on Mr.
Austin's property.
Given the above, the City must notify the Department of Ecology of the source
of the violation, and of our intention to remove the violation immediately.
We should then proceed to remove the violation by restoring the area to its
original topography and condition.

November 30, 1988
TO: Dave Flodstrom, City Manager
FROM: Paul D' Carr, Planning Director
The Planning Department has reviewed the Shoreline Management Act,
other applicable Administrative Code guidelines, and the local
Master Program, and has the following determination regarding a
shoreline permit application to extend a "tightline" stormwater pipe
extension in the Chase Street right -of -way, adjacent to Gerald
Austin's property. Such a permit could only be approved if it has
no effect on the existing wetland. While it may be possible to
construct a "tightline" pipe extension that would have no effect on
the wetland, we do not have the in -house expertise to testify to
that. An independent, outside consultant will be needed for such a
determination prior to processing the permit.
Mr. Austin wants a storm drain extension because he thinks it will
result in the drying up and elimination of the existing wetland
because he thinks the wetland is caused by stormwater runoff. We
have conclusive evidence that this assumption is erroneous, i.e.,
the Public Works Department's photographs of November 22, 1988. A
shoreline permit application to eliminate a wetland would not comply
with the Shoreline Management Act or the local Master Program. We
have also discovered that City crews constructed the berm on which
the Department of Ecology filed a "Notice of Violation" (DE 88 -336).
Allowing the berm to continue is a violation of the Shoreline
Management Act.
Mr. Austin's purposes conflict with the City's responsibility to
enforce its local Shoreline Master Program and comply with the
Shoreline Management Act. Accordingly, we should not be co-
applicants, the staff would be arguing before the City Planning
Commission and Council that the design we propose will not affect
the wetland while our co- applicant would be concurently arguing that
he wants to eliminate the wetland. This would destroy the City's
credibility regarding enforcement on shoreline issues now, and in
the future.

MEMORANDUM
November 18, 1988
TO; City Manager
FROM: Planning Department
RE: Gerald Austin's Shoreline Permit
From the information provided thus far to the Planning Depart-
ment, there is presently under consideration a Shoreline
Substantial Development Permit to "tight- line" storm water run-
off from Front Street across Gerald Austin's wetland property and
northward into the Port Angeles Harbor.
In order to remain in conformity with the Shoreline Management
Act, RCWs, WACs, and the City of Port Angeles Shoreline Master
Program, the proposed storm water tight -line from Front Street
should not affect the natural character, ecology, or topograph-
ical configuration of this marshland, whether the marshland was
created and /or exists from man -made causes or natural causes. As
such, the Shoreline Substantial Development Permit, as described,
should be submitted by the City of Port Angeles Public Works
Department, without the inclusion of Mr. Austin as a co-
applicant, and processed by the City of Port Angeles Planning
Department. This is because the Shoreline Permit should not
alter the marshland characteristics to any degree or in any
manner affect the marshland in order to improve the ability of
Mr. Austin to develop his marshland property.
From the following sections from the Shoreline Management Act,
RCWs, WACs, and the City's Shoreline Master Program which most
directly pertain to the proposed Substantial Development Permit,
it is the interpretation of the Planning Department that any
installation of utilities across the marshland area existing in a
shoreline of State -wide significance should not alter the topog-
raphy, ecology, aesthetics, or the marshland character of the
shoreline area to any extent whatever: Cu iptRUN "S A D

Dear Mr. Austin:
You are hereby authorized to install an aquaculture facility in•Port
Angeles Bay, Strait of Juan De Fuca at Port Angeles, Washington. The work
must be performed as depicted on the enclosed drawing (enclosure 1), and you
must meet the enclosed conditions (enclosure 2).
We have reviewed your application for a Department of the Army permit for
this work. Our review was made pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and
Harbors Act of March 3, 1899. We determined that your proposal is minor in
nature, will not significantly impact environmental values, and should
encounter no opposition. We are thus issuing you a "Letter of Permission" to
authorize the work, rather than using our lengthier public notice procedures.
Please note the conditions and limitations contained in enclosure 2. Read
them carefully. You should also be aware that any changes in the location or
plans for this work will require submittal of a revised drawing to this
office, and our written approval, prior to accomplishment.
While you need no further authorization from us, you must still comply
with other local and state requirements. At a minimum, you must obtain a
Shorelines Substantial Development Permit determination from The City of Port
Angeles, and a Hydraulic Project Approval from the Washington State Department
of Fisheries and Department of Wildlife, before you begin your work.

AQUACU LTU RE Terry Nosho
SERIES In recent years, Washington Sea Grant Ma-
rine Advisory Services (MAS) has received numerous
inquiries regarding oyster farming. These have come
from waterfront property owners, from entrepreneurs,
and from owners of small oyster farms. It thus ap-
pears that up -to -date information on oyster farming
would be useful to those interested in starting a small
--N. oyster farm, or in improving their existing operations
either for their own pleasure or for commercial pur-
poses.
This report provides basic information on
t species biology, state agency requirements for grow-
ing oysters, and commercial applications that can be
adapted to small farm situations. There are other de-
:R, vices and techniques used in oyster farming that are
•i
_E not i in this report, but the material presented
;yam e'�e''! does describe proven commercial applications and
should serve as a good starting point. Although most
'e icu, -i people are concerned primarily with siting method
k_ai ology, and economics, it is important to be aware
that these are intertwined with biology. Successful
7- farming will depend on balancing these aspects, being
observant, using imagination, and following just
i r plain common sense.
Oyster Species and Varieties
°o. Oysters are widely distributed, inhabiting
coastal waters everywhere except in the two polar re-
gions. Worldwide, there are more than one hundred
:r-4 ,'a oyster.species, three of which are cultured in Wash
A, ington State. Two belong to the genus Ostrea and
include the native or Olympia oyster (0. lurida), and
the Belon or European flat oyster (0. edulis) intro-
duced from Europe. The third species, introduced from
Japan, is commonly known as the Pacific oyster
(Crassostrea gigas). This species and its varieties
Washington Sea Grant form the most commercially important oyster group
Marine Advisory Services along the Pacific Coast of North America. The 1986
3716 Brooklyn Ave. N.E. oyster production statistics for Washington show that
Seattle, WA 98105 nearly nine million pounds of Pacific oysters were
