 at any time after the periods set by this act for the adoption of such regulations, 

 the department shall adopt such regulations for the county : ProvUicd, That the 

 county may thereafter supersede the department's regulations by adopting its own 

 regulations pursuant to this act : And provided further, That the department may 

 extend the time period within which the regulations are to be adopted if it finds 

 that the county is in the process of adopting such regulations and is making all 

 reasonable efforts to complete the process in the shortest possible time. 



Sec. 14. After the department has finally approved any regulations adopted 

 pursuant to this act, it shall give notice of the regulations as it did for the guide-

Sec. 15. Any party having a recorded interest in property affected by any 

 guideline or regulation issued pursuant to this act may, within sixty days after 

 being served with notice or otherwise learning of such guidelines or regulation, 

 petition the superior court of Thurston County or of the county in which the prop- 

 erty in question is located, to determine whether such guideline or regulation 

 so restricts the use of his property as to be an unreasonable exercise of the state's 

 police power. If the court finds that the guideline or regulation unreasonably 

 restricts the use of the property it shall enter an order voiding the guideline or 

 regulation, or part thereof, with respect to that piece of property in question. 

 The court shall record all such orders with the auditor of the county where the 

 property is located, but no such order shall apply to any other piece of property, 

 and no other body or proceeding shall have jurisdiction or authority to determine 

 whether the exercise of police power embodied in the guideline or regulation 

 is reasonable. 



Sec. 16. If a guideline or regulation is held to be unreasonable the department 

 and/or the county shall have the option, within thirty days, of adopting an 

 amended guideline or regulation, or of taking the fee, or any lesser interest in 

 the property, by eminent domain.

 seacoast property in question shall have jurisdiction to restrain any violation

 at the request of the department, or the prosecuting attorney, at the request of 

 the county's seacoast zoning body, shall bring any action necessary to enforce 

 such guidelines or regulations. 



Sec. 18. Any person found to have violated a guideline or regulation adopted 

 under this act shall be civilly liable for any and all damages arising from such 

 violation. Where appropriate, the measure of damages shall include the restora- 

 tion of the lands or property in question to a condition consistent with the 

 guidelines or regulations. 



Sec. 19. In addition to incurring civil liability under section 18, any person 

 found to have knowingly violated a guideline or regulation adopted under this 

 act shall be guilty of a gross misdemeanor, and shall be punished by a fine

 imprisonment in the county jail for not more than ninety days, or by both such 

 fine and imprisonment : Provided, That the fine for the third and all subsequent 

 violations in any five year period shall be not less than one thousand nor more 

 than ten thousand dollars.

 may be advisory or coordinating, general purpose or specialized, or ad hoc or 

 permanent, as needed. They shall be composed of representatives from the 

 various public agencies and types of local government concerned, and from the 

 private sector. The director shall select the private sector members of such 

 councils, and shall select the government members after consultation with the

 pensation, except that they shall be re-imbursed for their expenses, and private
