Port Ludlow Associates request to extend expiration of Olympic Terrace II Preliminary Plat
FROM:
DATE:
SUBJECT:
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
On June 28, 2005, the Jefferson County Hearing Examiner granted preliminary plat approval for the
Olympic Terrace II Long Plat, Phase One of which was finaIed on May 7, 2007. Phase Two had yet to be
finaIed when the economic downturn of2008 made doing so infeasible. Preliminary Plat approval for
Olympic Terrace II will expire on June 28,2012 per DCD Code Interpretation dated June 7, 2010. Port
Ludlow Associates (PLA) has submitted a written request to extend the expiration of that Plat for one
additional year consistent with Section 6.212 of Subdivision Ordinance 04-0526-92, the relevant
regulations under the Port Ludlow Development Agreement.
Port Ludlow Associates letter dated March 20, 2012
DCD Code Interpretation dated June 7, 2010
Section 6.212 of Subdivision Ordinance 04-0526-92
ATTACHMENTS:
ANALYSIS/STRATEGIC GOALSIPROS and CONS:
Port Ludlow's request is appropriate considering the cost of plat development to complete infrastructure
necessary for finaI approval and the economic conditions that to date have inhibited that development. It is
also in keeping with the proper procedure to extend preliminary plat approval consistent with their
development agreement with the County. Board approval to extend plat expiration one year is appropriate
since PLA has demonstrated good faith in completing the plat by already acquiring finaI approval for Phase
One. The Board should be aware that there are currently four (4) plats that are due to expire as outlined in
section (7) of the DCD Code Interpretation (page 5) that may benefit from further extensions enacted by
ordinance as allowed under Section 1, page 2 of Substitute Senate Bill 6544 (attachment to DCD Code
Interpretation).
FISCAL IMP ACT/COST -BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
PLA has to date paid the County a total 0[$23,377.75 in fees to process the Olympic Terrace II Long Plat.
Should their preliminary plat approval expire, and they desire to continue their development of Olympic
Terrace II Phase Two, PLA would be required to re-apply for a new plat under the current fee schedule

RECOMMENDATION:
DCD recommends the Board of County Commissioners:
1. Review the attached request and supporting documentation and make a motion to approve a one-
time only twelve (12) month extension to the preliminary plat approval for Olympic Terrace II.

.
On December 18,2000, the Board of County Commissioners adopted the Unified
Development Code (UDC) as the set of implementing regulations for the Jefferson
County Comprehensive Plan. Section Seven (7) of the UDC was Land Divisions.
The effective date of the UDC was January 16,2001. Upon codification, the UDC
became Title 18 of the Jefferson County Code (JCC). Section 7 Land Divisions then
became Chapter 18.35 of the Jce. JCC 1835.390(3) states, "Applications for final
plat approval shall be submitted within five years of the date of the preliminary plat
approval."
Subdivision Ordinance No. 04-0526-92
The Subdivision Ordinance No. 04-0526-92 was adopted May 26, 1992 as the
County's land use law governing the division of land throughout Jefferson County.
In December 2000, the Unified Development Code was adopted, replacing
Subdivision Ordinance No. 04-0526-92 with Jefferson County Code (ICC) Chapter
18.35 Land Divisions. Subdivision Ordinance No. 04-0526-92 now only applies to
property owned by Port Ludlow Associates (PLA) as required under their
Development Agreement with the County (Resolution No. 42-00) and adopted May
8, 2000. Section 6.212 Expiration of Subdivision Ordinance No. 04-0526-92 states,
"Approval of a prelimin..'Y long plat shall expire unless the final long plat is
submitted in proper form for final approval within thirty-six (36) months, unless an

FINDINGS OF FACT:
(I) On March 17, 2010, Governor Gregoire signed into law Substitute Senate Bill
(SSB) 6544 which extends the expiration of preliminsny plat. approval :from five
years to seven years. SB 6544 was lmRnimousIy passed by both the State Senate
and House on February 16 and 28,2010 respectively, to become effective as State
law on June 10,2010.
.
(2) The only sections of the RCW affected by SSB 6544 are RCW 58.17.140 & 170.
New text for RCW 58.17.140 reads, "A final plat meeting all requirements of this
chapter shall be submitted to the legislative body of the city, town, or county for
approval within ((five)) seven years of the date ofpreliminsny plat approval."
New text for RCW 58.17.170 reads, "Any lots in a final filed for record sha1l be
valid land use notwithstBnding any change in zoning laws for a period of((five))
seven years from the date of filing. A subdivision sha1l be governed by the terms
of approval of the final plat, and the statues, ordinances, and regulations in effect
at the time of approval underRCW 58.17.150 (1) and (3) for a period of ((five))
~ years after the final plat approval unless the legislative body finds that a
change in conditions creates a serious threat to the public health or safety in the
subdivision. "
.
(3) NEW SECTION SEC. 3 ofSSB 6455 states, "Sections 1 and 2 of this act expire
December 31, 2014." The act will expire on December 31,2014, at which time,
presumably, the five.,year time period will be reinstated.
(4) Final Bill Report on SSB 6544 stipulates that the act applies only "for
applications to form five or more lots," that is, does not apply to short
subdivisions of fewer than five lots. Also, the definition of "plat" in RCW
58.17.020(2) does not include subdivisions ofless than five lots.
(5) LocaJ regulations must be consistent with State law, in this case RCW 58.17.
_Bill 6544 Co&...r.....oA>ai'"
61712010

.
(6) On March 24, 2010 the UDC Administrator instructed staff to draft the subject
code interpI"lldion to inform applicants of conflicts between loca11and use code
and State or Federa11aw or Court decisions and to insure consistency with State
law.
(7) Currently, there are four (4) plats that this legislation will affect Also listed is
when preliminary approval will expire once SSB 6544 takes effect:
. Olympic Terrace Division II Phase 2 - SUB05-00003 (expires 6/28/2012)
. Discovery Bay Golf Club PRRD - SUB05-00022 (expires 10/23/2013)
. Ludlow Cove II - SUB07-OO038 (expires 9/16/2015)
. PAM Port Townsend One - SUB08-00029 (expires 1115/2016)
CONCLUSION:
AI; ofJune 10,2010 provisions of the Jefferson County Code, JCC 18.35.390(3) and
Section 6.212 of Jefferson Cotinty Subdivision OIdinance No. 04-0526-92 will be
inconsistent with RCW 58.17.140 & 170. Those codes should be amended to reflect the
changes to the RCW enacted by SSB 6544.
DECISION:
.
Any and all subdivisions within Jefferson County offive (5) lots or greateI granted
preliminary plat approval before December 31, 2014 and that have not expired prior to
June 10,2010 shall be granted a seven year expiration period from the date of
preliminary plat approval in which to accomplish final plat approval. This code
inteIpretation becomes effective immediately upon signing and becomes ineffective on
Decembex 31, 2014.
APPEAL:
JCC 18.40.390 & Section 6 of OIdinance No. 05-0828-98 - Jefferson County Procedures
& Criteria to Clarify Land Use Regulations OIdinance, outline the appeal process
available to any person or entity aggrieved by this interpretation.

FINAL BILL REPORT
88B 6544
C 79 L 10
Synopsis as Enacted
BrlefDeserlption: Extending the time limitations for approval ofp1ats.
Sponsors: Senate Committee on Financial institutions, Housing & Insurance (originally
sponsored by Senators Berkey, Marr, Hobbs, Kilmer and Tom).
Senate Committee on Financial Institntions, Honsing & Insurance
Honse Committee on LoI:al Government & Housing
Baekgronnd: Land may be divided into smaller pieces, assumlng the smaller pieces, or lots,
comply with local zoning and other land use and development laws. The owner wishing to
make this division Into smaller lots must first apply for approval of his or her plan, to the
local government having jurisdiction over the land.
This is called filing of the preliminary plat. This begins an administrative process that moves
toward approval by involving the public and any agencies that have jurisdiction over the land
and the land's proposed use. The legislative authority of the city, town, or county having
jurisdiction is the entity that approves the preliminary plat, upon the advice of the
administrative proceedings and planning commission, among others.
For applications to form five or more lots, the date that the preliminary plat is approved
begins a five-year time-period during which the laws applicable to approval of the
preliminary plat are the laws that apply to final approval of the plat.
If the legislative authority finds that the subdivision conforms to all terms of the approval of
the preliminary plat, and satisfies all laws in effect at the time of the approval of the
preliminary plat, then the legislative authority must inscribe and execute its written approval
on the face of the plat. Any lots in the final plat filed for record are valid land uses even if
land use law changed during, and up to, the five-year approval process. From the date of
final approval of the plat of the subdivision, the subdivision is governed by the terms of
approval of the final plat for five more years.
Summary: The five-year time periods during which the laws applicable to the subdivision
remain fixed, are changed to seven-year time periods.
The act expires on December 31, 2014.
This analysis was prepared by non-partisan legislative stqff for the use of legislative
members in their deliberations. This analysis is not a part of the legislation nor does It
constitute a statement of legislative Intent.
