1.) The application was reviewed by the Jefferson County Department of Community
Development staff on 10/23/01 for the potential presence of Environmentally Sensitive
Areas (ESAs) under the provisions of the Unified Development Code UDC). After an
initial Geographic Information Systems mapping review and an investigative site
inspection, the following ESAs were confirmed to be present on the subject property:
Wetlands, Type 5 Stream, Susceptible Aquifer Recharge Area, and Stormwater.
2.) Aquifer Recharge Areas in Jefferson County are characterized by porous geological
formations that allow percolation of the surface water into the soils and the underlying
zone of saturation. Aquifers are geologic formations that contain sufficient saturated
permeable material to yield significant quantities of water to wells and springs. Aquifers
serve as the source of drinking water within most of the rural portions of Jefferson County.
3.) Susceptible Aquifer Recharge Areas are those with geologic and hydrologic conditions
that promote rapid infiltration of recharge waters to groundwater aquifers.
4.) Critical Aquifer Recharge Areas may require special protection measures to mitigate water
quality degradation. The submitted proposal does not require additional aquifer
protection measures. However, during construction the project shall follow the Best
Management Practices (BMPs) and facility design standards as identified and defined in
the Stormwater Management Manual for the Puget Sound Basin (see attached).
5.) A Type 5 Stream was mapped for the subject property. During a site investigation a
stream was not found in close proximity to the proposed structure.
6.) The project is located in close proximity to an identified wetland and is subject to the
delineation provisions of Section 3.6.9 of the Jefferson County Unified Development Code.
Based upon the proposed location of the project in relation to the identified wetland, the
applicant has agreed to maintain a buffer(setback) that exceeds the standard buffer
requirements by fifty(50) percent. The applicant acknowledges the additional setback
and agrees to maintain the extra 50 percent buffer, therefore, waiving the wetland
delineation requirements of the Unified Development Code.
7.) The wetland is located in the southeast corner of the subject property. The proposed
structure will be sited more than 225 feet from the identified wetland. All future
development will be reviewed in relation to the wetland and is associated buffer. Any
clearing, construction of roads, or other development must maintain a minimum 250-foot
setback from the wetland edge.
8.) The project components are more than 250' from the mapped/identified wetland. The
requirement for a wetland delineation and report is waived based on maintenance of a
225' buffer from the wetland per UDC Table 3-3.
9.) A permanent physical separation along the upland boundary of the wetland buffer area
shall be installed and permanently maintained. Such separation can include installing
logs, trees, a hedgerow, or any other prominent physical marking approved by the UDC
Administrator.
10.) Buffer perimeters shall be marked with temporary signs at an interval of one per parcel or
every one hundred (100) feet, whichever is less. Signs shall contain the following
statement: "Wetland & Buffer- Do Not Remove or Alter Existing Vegetation."
11.) All construction activities shall not encroach upon the buffer. This includes the storage or
preparation of materials.
12.) The applicant is proposing to create or add 2,400 square feet of impervious surface.
Discovery Ridge Division V Plat requires that every development submit a Small Parcel
Sediment and Erosion Control Plan. The applicant shall adhere to all of the outlined
measures stipulated through the submitted and approved plan.
13.) A Small Parcel Sediment and Erosion Control Plan has been submitted and approved by
the Department of Community Development. Once the subject permit has been issued
the applicant shall fully implement the provisions of the submitted plan and contact the
Jefferson County Department of Community Development to arrange a schedule to
inspect the property for plan compliance. A Certificate of Occupancy will not be issued
until the Department verifies plan compliance. No clearing for roadways or utilities shall
occur on the project site until clearing necessary for the installation of temporary
_ sedimentation and erosion control measures have been completed.
14.) The site plan as submitted with the building application on October 27, 2001 has been
reviewed for consistency under the.UDC, and has been approved by Jefferson County
Department of Community Development. Any modifications, changes, and/or additions to
the stamped, approved site plan dated 11/16/01 shall be resubmitted for review and
approval by Jefferson County Department of Community Development.
15.) Maximum lot coverage is not to exceed 25%.
16.) Discovery Ridge Road is classified as a private road and thus requires a minimum 20-foot
setback. The sides and rear have been determined by Environmentally Sensitive Areas,
and therefore do not follow the standard bulk and dimension setbacks.
17.) The building height is r.ot to exceed 35 feet.
r
