Jefferson County is giving the public a chance to weigh in on the possible establishment of two no-shooting zones in the Ocean Grove neighborhood, east of Beckett Point, at 10 a.m., Monday, May 22.
Dan Nasman, manager of the Ocean Grove Association, noted that Ocean Grove is made up of “about 80 homes,” platted in 1965 and “about 75 percent built out now.”
According to Nasman, shooting became an issue in Ocean Grove when a new resident did some target shooting on his property in 2014 and the county sheriff was called in response.
The petition was originally submitted to the county in 2015, so Nasman is pleased to see it finally moving forward.
“I told the county, I’m a patient man, but it’s wearing thin,” said Nasman, who nonetheless credited County Administrator Philip Morley with continuing to correspond with Nasman about the issue.
The Ocean Grove Association’s petition would, if approved, establish no-shooting areas in the plats of Ocean Grove Estates, Ocean Grove No. 2 and Ocean Grove No. 3.
The Jefferson County Board of Commissioners is set to convene the public hearing May 22 in its chambers.
Those who wish to comment but cannot attend the public hearing may submit written public comments via email to jeffbocc@co.jefferson.wa.us, or by mail through the close of the hearing time, addressed to the Board of Commissioners, P.O. Box 1220, Port Townsend, WA 98368.
