SECTION II. The time of taking vacations shall be fixed by the head of the department. The full vacati shall normally be taken without interruption, except where a divided vacation is necessary or desirable in order to facilitate the conduct of County business and except where the department head and employees, by mutual agreement, arrange for vacation time, divided or otherwise, which will least interfere with the functioning of the department. 128 APRIL RECORD OF COMMISSIONER PROCEEDINGS TERl`R THURSDAY _'113R 24th DAY OF APRIL 1969 SECTION III. Each employee shall take his vacation in the year in which it accrues, EXCEPT that the employee may accumulate vacation time to a total of fifteen (15) days, after which time, if not taken, it lapses month by month. SECTION IV: Each employee whose service is terminated will be allowed pay for vacation earned up to the time of the termination of his service. SECTION V: Cumulative sick leave with pay shall accrue to each county employee actively employed in the county service at the rate of one working day of leave for each calendar month of the employee's active service. The total accumulation of sick leave shall not exceed sixty (60) days at full Pay - SECTION VI: An initial accumulation of sick leave shall be granted to employees at the rate of twelve (12) days per year for each year of prior service, the maximum of such initial accumulation to be sixty (60) working days. SECTION VII: Employees who, for any purpose,- are granted leave of absence with pay shall continue to accrue sick leave during such leave of absence. Employees heretofore or hereafter laid off for reasons not discreditable to',them and rehired within twelve (12) month, and employees granted leave of absence without pay shall not accrue sick leave during said layoff or leave of absence, but, upon resumption of active employment, shall have available the sick leave accrued at the time of such layoff or leave of absence. N SECTION VIII: After six (6) months of service an employee shall be eligible to receive sick leave with pay, as herein provided, for the following reasons only: (a) Personal illness or physical incapacity to such an extent as thereby to be rendered unable to perform the duties of his or her position. (b) Enforced quaratine in accordance with certain health regulations. (c) Upon the death of a member of employee's immediate family, sick leave not exceeding three (3) days shall be granted.

Memo) At the time the resolution was adopted on the 16th day of December, 1958, it was felt that sections III and IV -might be ambiguous. Several conferences were held with the department heads and it was determined that vacation time accrues in one year to be taken in the following year. In other words, the vacation taken by the employee in 1961 was earned and accrued in 1960. This followed from the fact that a person employed during the year was not allowed to take any vacation time until after January 1 following his employment and then only that number of days earned during the partial year pre- vious to the lst of January.

The specific recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners regarding road standards are: a. That r/w standards be reduced from 60 ft. to 50 ft., or to include cuts and fills which- ever is greater, except on Sudden Valley Drive. b. That cul-de-sac turnaround standards be reduced from r/w of 90 ft., only in situations where it is impractical to construct a circular turn due to excessive cuts and fills, to be determined by site inspection and in accordance with the geological report. C. That cul-de-sac and block length standards be increased to accommodate the proposal on condition that the sites of all turnarounds shall be located advantageously, and that walk ways are provided in accordance with Section IV, D, 2. d. That improvement requirements be reduced in respect of clearing and grubbing to leave in place all sound coniferous trees and decorative shrubbery outside cuts and fills, provided that retained trees and shubbery do not impair the safe use of the streets. e. That the street drainage requirements of the regulations generally be retained except that the unusual circumstance of the plat requires specific precautions be taken as indicated in the geological report and in subsequent recommendations by the consultant re the sedimentation ponds. f. That the road construction requirements be altered from official Whatcom County stand- ards, in respect of width, to permit 16 ft. surfaces on roads other than Sudden Valley Drive, in accordance with the seven (7) page letter of request by the developer, annex- ed as a part of this report. Roadbeds should be of suitable width to support and pro- tect the driving surface and to permit the location of underground utilities to the satisfaction of agencies or firms accepting responsibility for maintenance. g- h. Consideration of narrower surfaces should be conditioned upon existence of a hazardous geological condition and upon submission of another variance request. That the road construction requirements of the County in respect of ballast and surfa- cing materials and thicknesses be increased, in view of the width reduction and in view!! of the geological report, subject to the limitation that the quantity or value of mater ials required for the standard County road need not be exceeded except on extreme grades, where Portland Cement concrete is indicated by the geological report. Special j construction practices indicated by the geological report should be required in other respects, as a condition of the variance. That a performance bond be required, in the amount of 150/ of the estimate of construc-;! tion costs submitted by the professional engineer retained by the developer -- such bond to be in a form satisfactory to the Prosecuting Attorney and for a term of one year, extensions of the Bond shall be on such terms as the county may determine are reasonable under the circumstances. i. That a viable maintenance organization be established, with power to assess its members such that unpaid assessments may be*easily collected, membership being a condition of ownership of any lot. The minimum amount of such assessments should be established on the basis of engineering experience. j. That a maintenance bond be required for the period until the maintenance organization is able to assume responsibility. k. That title to the private roadways be held in such form that reversion to the County is as difficult as possible on all roads for which variances have been granted. It is suggested that this be accomplished by common ownership or by mutual easements. 1. That roadside parking bays be required, since parking on the narrow road will be a hazard to public safety. Such bays should provide a minimum of one parking space per lot at a maximum distance average of 300 ft. M. That the precise wording of the above recommendations be subject to review and adjust- ment by the Prosecuting Attorney upon agreement by the Planning Commission Chairman. i i We have been asked to furnish -- "A General Statement on Sudden Valley." It has been requested that it come from the owners. It has been suggested that among the items that should be covered are these points: 1. Who is Sudden Valley Incorporated? 2. What is the extent of their fiscal involvement with this property? 3. Recognize that we are asking official response, approval and cooperation in the grant- ing of "variances," zoning and platting on what is seemingly an isolated piece of land. Reference is made here to Division I. Ai3 6 APRIL 4. 5. RECORD OF COMMISSIONER PROCEEDINGS TETHURSDAY TTHF. _lst- DAY OF MAY 19 69 Resolve the "sewer and water problems::--" Justify a private road system, that has dedicated road widths of less than standard dimensions. 6. Identify and submit, for review, the qualifications of our consultants, retained specialists, our own personnel and any others upon whom we rely and would expect the county to "work with" as our representatives. 7. LIM Indicate "for the record" our designed use for the balance of our holdings. Show that proposed density on Division I will not be held supportive of itself, for II the amenity considerations we have discussed, informally, with the Staff's of the Plan ning Commission and other concerned governmental agencies. 9. Define "for the record" our philosophy toward development of Sudden Valley. 10. Officially -outline on a "certifiable map' all property adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of Sudden Valley, Division I, in which we hold any interest. Show any options or ownership under this or any other name that is in effect under our control, whether recorded or not. Hopefully, with your patience we can answer this request. Please understand that direct answers to some of these points are difficult to structure without a certain amount of editorializing. 1. Sudden Valley Incorporated is a Washington Corporation. It is owned by K. A. Sanwick, Jr. (51/) and Continental Mortgage Investors (49). C.M.I. with $230,000,000 of asset! is the largest Real Estate Trust in the world, and is listed on The New York Stock jj Exchange. 2. Sudden Valley, Inc. has two distinctive characteristics. It owns the finest single piece of developmental land in Western Washington. It owes $7,800,000 to C.M.I.. These funds are (as a matter of record, in Whstcom County) committed as to their availability and exclusive use in paying for the land and projected costs of its de- velopment. 3. We grant that Division I would seem to stand unsupported except of itself. This is not the case, however, and supportive representations will be furni"shed, with suffi- cient documentation, to allay any fears that our intent is to market that which is less than the part of a whole. j 4. Resolution of "Sewer and Water problems" becomes so involved that we have answered j this point by separate letter. 5. Justify? Standard dimensions? We have used "generally accepted Engineering and Architectural concepts and practices" in establishing our proposed roads. We are able to predict and limit future traffic flows to design capacity. If these roads were not private, but were subject to public use for purposes of traffic flow beyond our perimeters, our contentions would be specious. To design or build them in any other fashion than that which i we propose, would negate the entire concept of Sudden Valley. It is our calculated intent to preclude these roads from ever becoming a part of the public domain or dependant upon public maintenance --until such time, as private driveways into garages and carports, along with Shop- ping Center Parking lots and similar evidences of private domain, are outlawed. 6. The Sanwick Corporation, which charges itself with the responsibility to develop land, is held identically to Sudden Valley, Inc. in ownership. Its operation is essentially reliant upon a number of consultive firms. They are, like The Sanwick Corporation, made up in true analysis of people. Recognizing the frailties of single individuals, consider the combined stature of those whom we would have create Sudden Valley: Horton Dennis & Associates; Civil Engineers, Utility Designers and Land Surveyors. David Jensen Associates; City and Town Planners and Landscape Architects. Dames & Moore; Soils Engineers and Geologists. Robert Cooper & Associates; Architects, Landscape Architects, Land Planners. Theodore G. Robinson; Golf Course Architect and Land Planner. D. A. Hogan & Associates; Professional Engineers, Soils Drainage, Agronomy, and Landscape Architects. Omnimetrics; Critical Path Methodolgy, Computor Programming and Computor Services. Jacobson & Associates, Inc.; Advertising and Public Relations. John Stout Realty, Inc., Real Estate Sales.

The development of any piece of land of a size comparable to Sudden Valley must be demographic. The ecology of land is seldom concept at best. Within our total land area we propose a density comparable to conventional land sub- division for residential purposes. Although we so label Sudden Valley as a "Planned Unit Development" this is not quite the case. "Planned Unit Developments" are essen- tially urban in character, even when located in suburbia. The essential factor of a "Planned Unit Development" is 100/ utilization of designated "use" areas on completion of development. Without this factor, economic considerations preclude financing, by any responsible lender in the United States - Systems approach and planning by govern- ment and the industry have reached fairly well established criteria for "Planned Unit Developments." Admittedly they have not done so for a "project" such as Sudden Valley If we were creating a "bedroom -development" we would be much less concerned about your existing standards for land development. We would simply meet them, sub -divide our land, sell it and go on about our business. 8. To this end, we have attached to this letter a list of some of the amenities and features that we would hope to incorporate in the marketing representations of Divisi 1, Plat of Sudden Valley. 9. To attempt to define a specific philosophy toward the land development of Sudden Valley, imposes too much --- For us to say that we have anything more than attitudes would be pretentious. We, as the developers, our retained multiple -discipline consultants and yourselves do become an integral when considered as "action -forces." Collectively we represent and should have the capabilities needed to create. Not simply create something new, unusual, unique, clever or controlled --but something that is Right. For the land. For those who will participate in its ownership. For the greater community within whose boundaries the land should not be an imposition but an enhancement. In the early years, the bulk of the ownership of Sudden Valley will be absentee in character. As the individual units of ownership are developed the use is still essen- tially one of abstention by the property owner, from use of tax supported services. However, the taxes they pay constitute full contribution to the community for their fair share of the cost based on actually using --- Schools - particularly schools - police patrol - street maintenance - sewage treatment - depolution of water. And no vote unless residency is established. 10. We submit our present property ownership. We hold no options. We have made offers on some adjoining properties. We may or may not acquire them. We do not need to acquire them, if we thought so, we would have done so before now. We do feel that this question goes somewhat far afield. As corporations with stockholders our principal function is to make money. That, and nothing more, can ever be expected of any corporation. How we make this money is subject to: Observance of a multitude of laws, market -place acceptance of our product, management, business ethics, and perhaps a corporate philosophy. To what end result? It is inconceivable that we would jeopardize 99% of the assets of our companies by knowingly violating any of the acknowledged "how to's" in order to enhance I/o of our assets, to produce more than its fair share of return to risk capital. Pride, and hopefully when finished, a sense of accomplishment (for all concerned) would have us create -- not manufacture -- what we would have Sudden Valley become -- Very truly yours, SUDDEN VALLEY, INC.

The parties mutually agree that corrective work in the form of deepening the channel and the building of dikes to prevent overflow is required in order that said stream of water may be kept within bounds. 2. The parties further agree that in order to protect the two county roads named above, it will be necessary for the SECOND PARTY to go upon the lands of the FIRST PARTY with men and machinery to do the necessary corrective work. 3. That FIRST PARTY does hereby grant to SECOND PARTY permission to go upon the lands of the FIRST PARTY with men and machinery at such times and in such places as may be reasonably necessary for the carrying of this agreement into full force and effect. The permission to go upon the lands of the FIRST PARTY as herein above mentioned is in the form and nature of a license only, and may be revoked at any time by the FIRST PARTY without the giving of any cause or reason therefor. 4. Except in case of an actual emergency said SECOND PARTY, through its duly authorized representative, shall meet with FIRST PARTY or their representatives to discuss and agree upon the location and extent of the planned project for the handling of the problem of flooding then existing. The parties recognize that any work done in the channel of said stream, particularly during the times of high water, tends to cause a more rapid movement of rocks and sand and gravel, sometimes resulting in overflowing of dikes constructed by FIRST PARTY and causing damage to the lands of said FIRST PARTY prior to any operations carried on by the SECOND PARTY is the purpose of giving FIRST PARTY an opportunity to protect their lands from damage caused by the operation of the SECOND PARTY as described herein. Whenever a real emergency develops, SECOND PARTY may proceed to go upon the lands of the FIRST PARTY with men and machinery without first having obtained the clearance from FIRST PARTY so to do, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in each such case the SECOND PARTY shall contact the FIRST PARTY or its representative as soon as possible after such emergency work is commenced. 5. SECOND PARTY agrees to save said FIRST PARTY harmless against any and all claims of whatever nature made by any third person for damage allegedly caused by virtue of the work described in this agreement.

SECOND PARTY agrees to keep the gate at the entrance of said real property closed and locked in order to prevent theingress of unauthorized persons or the wandering of livestock belonging to said FIRST PARTY. 8. SECOND PARTY agrees to carry on the operations herein above mentioned in a careful manner so as not to inflict upon the trees and timber growing in or near the site of operations unnecessary destruction. SECOND PARTY further agrees to refrain from using any merchantable timber whether standing or fallen in the construction of said dike without paying FIRST PARTY for the same at the then stumpage rate and will in any event come to an agreement with FIRST PARTY before the use of any such timber.
