Box 639 Quilcene, WA 98376 SITE ADDRESS: 1590 Toandos Road Quilcene, WA PLANNER: Tim Woolett SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Classification of 10.8 acres of an approximately 11.58 acre site as open space/open space under the current use tax assessment program (RCW 84.34). The applicants executed a conservation easement in favor of the Jefferson Land Trust that permanently conserves the property. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATION: Approved, subject to conditions. PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Jefferson County Department of Community Development Staff Report and examining available information on file with the application, the Examiner conducted a public hearing on the request as follows: The hearing was opened on November 25, 2014, at 2:00 p.m. Parties wishing to testify were sworn in by the Examiner. The following exhibits were submitted and made a part of the record as follows: SEE ATTACHED INDEX LIST 1X TIM WOOLETT appeared, presented the Department of Community Development Staff Report, and testified that the parcel consists of 11.58 acres and is located in the RR-5 zone classification that that allows a density of one dwelling unit per five acres. The open space assessment will encourage the present use. The applicant has granted a conservation easement to the Jefferson Land Trust. Staff finds that the parcel has a public benefit rating of 19 points, but 12 is the maximum. The applicant proposes to classify 10.58 acres of the 11.58 acre parcel into the open space assessment, leaving one acre for the single-family home. SHERRIE SHOLD, Jefferson County Assessor's Office, appeared and testified that the only question she had was the meadow and whether that area of the property is withheld for an additional use or is it part of the open space proposal. TOM HAGEN, applicant, appeared and testified that the meadow area of the parcel is included within the conservation easement and therefore is part of the 10.58 acres proposed for the open space assessment. He agrees with all conditions of approval. He then had a question regarding procedures following issuance of the Examiner's recommendation that Mr. Woolett and Ms. Shold answered. ZOE DURHAM, applicant, appeared and confirmed her agreement with the Staff Report. No one spoke further in this matter and the Examiner took the matter under advisement. The hearing was concluded at 2:15 p.m. NOTE: A complete record of this hearing is available in the office of Jefferson County Department of Community Development. FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATION: FINDINGS: 1. The Hearing Examiner has heard testimony, admitted documentary evidence into the record, and taken this matter under advisement. 2. The request for Current Use Assessment is categorically exempt from review pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA) pursuant to Section 197-11- 800(14)(k) of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC). 3. RCW 84.34.037 requires noticing ten days prior to the public hearing. The Notice of Application was first published in the October 15, 2014 edition of the Jefferson County Leader; however, this notice mistakenly advertised a public hearing date of November 11, 2014, that fell on Veteran's Day. Because the public hearing date had to be rescheduled for November 25, 2014, the Notice was re-published in the October 29, 2014, edition of the Jefferson County Leader, and a new notice was 2X mailed to adjacent property owners. The Notice of Application was posted on the property adjacent to Toandos Road on November 6, 2014. 4. The applicants, Thomas Hagen and Zoe Durham, have a possessory ownership interest in a rectangular, 11.58 acre parcel of property located at 1590 Toandos Road, Quilcene, in unincorporated Jefferson County. The west property line of the parcel abuts the eastern shoreline of Dabob Bay, and Toandos Road traverses the extreme eastern portion of the parcel from north to south. 5. The parcel slopes downward from Toandos Road for approximately two-thirds of its length and then steepens as it descends to the Dabob Bay shoreline. The parcel is heavily forested with the exception of a home site and meadow on the upper portion. 6. On November 6, 2013, the applicants granted a conservation easement coverning the entire parcel to Jefferson Land Trust that was recorded pursuant to Jefferson County Auditor's File Number 582282. The applicants subsequently submitted an application for Current Use Tax Assessment for Open Space Open Space on December 13, 2013. The Department of Community Development(DCD)deemed the application complete on January 10, 2014. The Assessor clarified at the hearing that 10.58 acres of the 11.58 acre parcel is proposed for open space open space, and that said area includes a meadow. The one acre exception supports the home site that the applicants have improved with a cabin. 7. Pursuant to RCW 84.34, on August 12, 1991, the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners adopted Resolution Number 82-91 that established the Jefferson County Open Space Tax Program. Part IV of said Resolution addresses "Open Space Land" and refers to RCW 84.34.037 that allows the County to consider whether placing a parcel in open space land would, among other factors, conserve natural resources and protect streams, stream corridors, unique or critical wildlife, and native plant habitat, and/or promote conservation principles by offering educational opportunities. Preserving the applicants' parcels as open space land would recognize all of the above goals. 8. The Jefferson County GIS mapping shows the site as having a landslide hazard area, seismic hazard area, critical aquifer recharge area, and seawater intrusion protection zone. Designating the parcel as open space protects said areas from development and also implements a Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan goal of retention of fish and wildlife habitat (See also Section 1(B)(6) of the Open Space Program). 9. The request satisfies Policies 2 and 3 set forth in Section III, Part IV(B) of Resolution 82-91 as the applicants will allow reasonable public access (subject to providing advance notice), and the easement granted to Jefferson Land Trust will ensure that the property will "be held inviolate against conversion to non-open 3X space uses". Section IV of Part IV sets forth the "List of Eligible Resources" that parcels proposed for open space must contain. The applicants' parcel contains three "High Priority Resources", namely significant fish and wildlife habitat areas; special animal and plant sites; and surface water quality buffer areas. The site also supports two "Low Priority Resources": scenic vistas and steep slopes. The applicants have submitted a document entitled "Description of Priority Resources of the Hagen and Durham Property"prepared by Peter Bahis, fish and wildlife biologist and director of the Northwest Watershed Institute (Log Item 2). Mr. Bahis, an eminently qualified expert, notes that the entire parcel is located within the proposed boundaries of the Dabob Bay Natural Area, one of the least developed and biologically diverse estuarine bays in Puget Sound. Both State and Federal agencies are working with abutting land owners to protect and restore habitats within the bay. Mr. Bahis finds that the primary purpose of the conservation easement is to protect the parcel's habitat and natural resource values. 10. Concerning the significant fish and wildlife habitat resource,the parcel abuts Dabob Bay for 354 linear feet and the uplands consisting of steep, forested bluffs and mature forests. The parcel therefore provides essential habitat for many species dependent upon forest and estuaries. Jefferson County's Draft Wildlife Habitat and Corridors Mapping shows the parcel within a Wildlife Habitat Core Area. The parcel supports Hood Canal coho and chum salmon as well as Coastal cutthroat trout and Chinook salmon. The site also serves as a gathering area for bald eagles. During the months of May and June more than 100 eagles have been observed feeding along the shoreline and mudflats and roosting in the forested bluffs fronting the parcel. Views of Dabob Bay are available from the uplands and from the water, and as previously noted, the bay is one of the most pristine remaining in Puget Sound. Finally, nearly one-half of the parcel consists of steep, unstable slopes. 11. Section IV of Part IV sets forth the "Public Benefit Rating System" and Section VII sets forth the "Classification Procedure". Section VII provides that the Board of Commissioners acts as the granting authority and considers the recommendation of the Jefferson County Hearing Examiner. Section VII also provides: The task of the Board of Commissioners when reviewing an application for open space current use assessment is to assign a Public Benefit Rating (PBR) using the rating system in Section VI.A above. The County Assessor will then determine the taxable value of the property using the PBR assigned by the Board of Commissioners and the Current Use Assessment Evaluation Schedule in Section VI.C, above. The PBR may vary between one point and 12 points. One point would grant a current use assessment value of 95 percent of market value, while 11 to 12 points would provide a current use assessment value of ten percent of market value. 4X 12. The Community Development Department and the Assessor's Office agree that the application earns the maximum PBR rating of 12 points. In fact, both departments agree that the PBR actually totals 19 points. The Examiner agrees with the assessment. The application earns six points as a High Priority Resource based upon its provision of significant fish and wildlife habitat areas, special animal and plant sites, and surface water quality buffer areas. The parcel also contains two Low Priority Resources in the nature of scenic vistas and steep slopes and thereby earns two points. The applicants have made their parcel available for educational and scientific purposes subject to prior notice, thereby earning one point. They have also executed an easement in favor of the Jefferson Land Trust for 10.58 acres of the parcel. Said easement constitutes a transfer of development rights and entitles the application to a maximum of six points. The application also implements one goal of the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan, namely the retention of fish and wildlife habitat, and is therefore entitled to one point. Finally, the parcel will maintain an undisturbed zone of vegetation adjacent to marine waters of more than 200 linear feet and is therefore entitled to three points for an overall total of 19 points. 5X CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION: 1. The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction to consider and make recommendations regarding the issues presented by this request. 2. Based upon the above findings it is hereby recommended that the Board of Jefferson County Commissioners enroll 10.58 acres of the applicants 11.58 acres into the Jefferson County Open Space Tax Program as Open Space/Open Space Lands Current Use Assessment with a public benefit rating of 12 points. Such enrollment should be subject to the following conditions: 1. As required in Part I, Section 1, B of Resolution 82-91, prior to approval, the applicant shall provide certification of"no delinquent property tax" issued by the Jefferson County Treasurer. Approval will be denied if the landowner has failed to satisfy any judgments Jefferson County has obtained against the landowner, or if the landowner owes any fee to Jefferson County, or has failed to pay traffic fines or penalties of the Jefferson County District Court. 2. The applicant shall enter into an Open Space Taxation Agreement with the Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners. The executed agreement shall be recorded at the expense of the applicant. 3. Any compensating tax due at the time of the transfer shall be paid in full. RECOMMENDED this 10th day of December, 2014. 'idjf,i/Zrf E`H K. AU SEAU ,f .

Current Use Assessment Application No. CUA13-00001 &MLA13-00156 Thomas Hagen and Zoe Durham Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner Page 1 of 8 C. Location: The property is located at 1590 Toandos Road, situated along the east shore of Dabob Bay and adjacent to the west side of Toandos Road, being a portion of the NE 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 22, Township 27 North, Range 1 West, WM. Situate in the County of Jefferson, State of Washington. D. Access: Access to this site is from the west side of Toandos Road at street address 1590. E. Property Characteristics: The property consists of a single three(3)acre Assessor's parcel that is rectangular in shape oriented lengthwise in an east-west direction. Its west boundary abuts Dabob Bay and its east boundary has Toandos Road running through near its edge. The property slopes downward to the west for approximately two-thirds(2/3)of its length where it abruptly steepens at a high angle of decent in elevation. The property is forested with the exception of a homesite on the upper portion of the property at its approximate midpoint. F. Zoning/Comprehensive Plan: The subject parcels are zoned Rural Residential 1:5 (RR 1:5)which is consistent with the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map effective August 28, 1998, as amended. G. Surrounding Zoning/Development: The zoning of property adjacent to the north and to the south of the subject property is Rural Residential 1:5 (RR 1:5). The adjacent land to the east is zoned Commercial Forest, and abutting the west boundary of the subject property is Dabob Bay. The surrounding area consists of low density rural residential uses and open forest land(reference 2013 aerial photo, Log Item 5). H. Critical Areas: This site is mapped as having Landslide Hazard Area,Seismic Hazard Area, Critical Aquifer Recharge Area, and Seawater Intrusion Protection Zone(SIPZ), as defined by the Jefferson County Critical Areas Ordinance; and, the property is mapped with varying Shoreline Slope Stability areas that include Unstable Recent Landslide, Unstable, and Stable. I. Project/Parcel History: On November 6, 2013 the applicant,Thomas Hagen and Zoe Durham, granted a conservation easement held by the Jefferson Land Trust under Auditor's File No. 582282. This application for Current Use Assessment was submitted on December 13, 2013, and deemed complete of January 10, 2014. J. Public Notice: RCW 84.34.037 requires noticing ten days prior to the public hearing. Application notice was first published in the October 15, 2014 edition of the Jefferson County Leader; however,this notice mistakenly advertised a public hearing date of November 11,2014, which happened to fall on Veteran's Day. Because the public hearing date had to be rescheduled for November 25, 2014, application notice was re-published in the October 29, 2014 edition of the Jefferson County Leader, and notice to adjacent property owners was subsequently mailed. Notice of application was posted at the property where it fronts Toandos Road on November 6, 2014. Jefferson County Code Subsection 18.40.210(2)(d)requires that notice boards be maintained in good and legible condition by the applicant during the notice period, be in place at least 15 calendar days prior to the date of hearing and removed within 15 calendar days after the end of the notice period. K. Public Comments: There have been no public comments received as of the date of this report. L. Agency Comments: 1. Jefferson County Assessor's Office: A request for comments was sent to the Jefferson County Assessor's office on February 27, 2014. In their email response dated March 25, 2014,the Assessor's Office expressed a discrepancy of.09 acres between acreages provided on the application and shown for Parcel 3, Volume 6, Page 53 of Surveys. Current Use Assessment Application No.CUA13-00001 &MLA13-00156 Thomas Hagen and Zoe Durham Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner Page 2 of 8 The Assessor's Office also asked for clarification of the building envelope and whether the area titled "Meadow" on the"Hagen/Durham Conservation Easement Survey"was to be considered part of the building envelope. Staff response to Assessor's comments: The issue of acreage discrepancies may be clarified in looking at the"Hagen/Durham Conservation Easement Survey"filed under Auditor's File No. 580281, a reduced copy of which has been provided with this application for open space(Log Item 1, page 5 of 6). The survey provides an acreage breakdown as follows: Conservation Zone A—5.09 acres. Conservation Zone B—5.50 acres. Building Envelope—0.998 acres. Parcel 3 Total— 11.58 acres. It stands to reason that the latest recorded survey would be the more accurate when compared to one produced over thirty years prior when considering current survey technology and more stringent standards. Therefore, in weighing the acreages of the 1983 survey against the 2013 survey, staff recommends that of the most recent to be considered the ruling acreage. In answer to the question of the building site including the area delineated as "Meadow",the Building Envelope Description on the Hagen/Durham Conservation Easement Survey describes a polygon from"True Pont of Beginning"to"True Point of Beginning"and describes it as containing 0.998 acres;therefore,the answer to the question of the homesite including the area delineated as meadow would be answered in the negative. M. State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA): The request for Current Use Assessment is categorically exempt pursuant to WAC 197-11-800(14)(k). 2. RELATIONSHIP WITH LAND USE REGULATIONS: Context of Staff Analysis and Recommendation: The Department of Community Development is charged with the duties of presenting findings and analysis of the request for current use assessment to the Hearing Examiner, who shall then hold a public hearing to determine whether the application conforms with the requirements of the Jefferson County Tax Program (Resolution No. 82-91) and RCW 84.34; whereupon, the Examiner shall issue his recommendation to the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners for final legislative approval.

Classification Procedure ...The task of the Board of County Commissioners when reviewing an application for open space current use assessment is to assign a Public Benefit Rating(PBR) using the rating system in Section VI. A. Note: The Public Benefit Rating has been organized in an assessment worksheet for the purpose of convenience(Log Item# 14). A staff evaluation of the rating follows and is based on the report titled"Description of Priority Resources of the MHM 2012 Shurtleff Revocable Trust Property"prepared by Peter Bahls, Fish and Wildlife Biologist and Director,Northwest Watershed Institute(Log Item#2). Due to the qualifications of the author as provided on page 2 of the aforementioned report, staff places a strong reliance on its content through this review. High Priority Resources—2 points each (Total Maximum Points=4) Significant Fish and Wildlife Habitat Areas Access Areas utilized by both special and/or other fish and wildlife in such frequency and diversity for critical ecological processes occurring such as breeding, nesting, nursery,feeding, and resting. Criteria: Eligible lands are those identified by either: (a) the Washington State Department of Wildlife or Washington State Department of Fisheries; or (b) a competent professional whose findings are accepted by the Department of Wildlife—Natural Heritage Program and Priority Habi9tat and Species Program. Staff Comment: As provided in the report prepared by Peter Bahls, proposed open space land includes 354 feet of marine shoreline along Dabob Bay and associated steep forested bluffs and mature forest that provide essential habitat for many species dependent upon forests and estuaries for at least some stages of their life history. The shoreline beach and shoreline forest directly and indirectly supports nearshore habitat for Hood Canal Coho salmon, (federal candidate species), Hood Canal Summer Chum salmon (federal threatened species), Hood Canal Fall Chum salmon, Costal Cutthroat trout, and Puget Sound Chinook salmon (federal threatened species). The forest on the property is mature, naturally regenerated forest dominated by Douglas Fir and Western Red Cedar. Species known to use the forest habitats on the property include Great Blue Heron,Pileated Woodpecker, and Bald Eagle. Recommend 2 points Special Animal and Plant Sites a. Special Animal Sites Those animals defined in the Natural Heritage Plan as being either an endangered, threatened or sensitive species to the Washington State Department of Wildlife. Within Jefferson County, this term shall also include monitor species. Criteria: Eligible sites are those in the Natural Heritage Data Base as verified by the Natural Heritage Program; or which are verified by the State Department of Wildlife or an expert in the field, as containing the same animals and which are acceptable by the state agency for addition to the data base. Staff Comment: As provided in the report prepared by Peter Bahls(Log Item 2, page 3 of 6),this property is located within significant seasonable gathering area for bald eagles. "During May and June, Current Use Assessment Application No.CUA13-00001 &MLA13-00156 Thomas Hagen and Zoe Durham Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner Page 5 of 8 more than 100 eagles are typically observed feeding along the shoreline and mudflats at low tide and roosting in the forested bluffs fronting this property. The eagles are concentrated in the area from the south end of Longspit to Camp Discovery, including this property." Recommend 2 points Surface Water Quality Buffer Areas An undisturbed zone of vegetation, adjacent to a stream, lake,pond, wetland or marine waters, of a sufficient width (no less than 25 feet and no greater than 100 feet), that will benefit a surface water body by protecting water quality and reducing erosion. Criteria: Eligible lands are those meeting the above definition. A Surface Water Quality Buffer Area must be preserved from intrusion by domesticated animals or structures. All Buffer Area lands in or adjacent to pasture land must be fenced to prevent intrusion by domesticated animals. The width of the Buffer is measured upland from the ordinary high-water mark of the stream, lake,pond, or marine waters. In the case of wetlands, the buffer area will be measured upland from the edge of the wetland. The buffer area does not include the wetland itself or the body of water waterward of the ordinary high water mark. Staff Comment: Staff concurs with Peter Bahls in his report(Log Item#2, page 3 of 5)stating that"The conservation easement protects the steep forested slopes on the property, at least 800 feet in width, adjacent to the shoreline of Dabob Bay, representing an important water quality buffer area for Dabob Bay shorelines." Recommend 2 points Low Priority Resources—1 point each Scenic Vistas An area providing unique or unusual views of natural features in Jefferson County, which are significant to the aesthetic character of the County, within the jurisdiction of the Scenic Highways Act. Criteria: Eligible lands are those meeting the definition above, and consisting of large, uninterrupted expanses or other historically open areas. Such lands should be free of any structural improvements and substantially preserve the scenic vista. Staff Comment: As stated in the report prepared by Peter Bahls(Log Item#2, page 3 of 5), "The proposed Open Space property protects the forested shoreline on the property, with no house visible, protecting the important scenic vistas from Dabob Bay."The conservation easement and proposed open space classification would bar a full development scenario which could potentially result in an additional single family residential development along the shoreline,thus impacting the pristine vistas referenced in Mr. Bahls' report. Recommend 1 point Steep or Unstable Slopes Steep slopes are those with a slope of 30%or greater. Unstable slopes may be less than 30%but must be verified by a qualified slope stability engineer. Criteria: Eligible lands are those meeting the definition above or those verified by an expert in the field. Staff Comment: As provided in Mr. Bahls report, "Nearly one-half of the Hagen and Durham property proposed for Open Space-open space is comprised of steep, unstable slopes.""These slopes, most of which exceed 60 percent slope and are highly unstable, are protected in the conservation easement to prevent an increase in landslides and impacts to the nearshore habitats." Recommend 1 point Current Use Assessment Application No. CUA13-00001 &MLA13-00156 Thomas Hagen and Zoe Durham Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner Page 6 of 8 Some Public Access Staff Comment: As stated in the report prepared by Peter Bahls(Log Item#2, page 3 of 5), "The conservation easement permits public access for educational and scientific purposes with prior approval of the landowner." Recommend 1 point Transfer of Development Rights(TDR) (Total Maximum Points=6) Conveyance recorded with the Auditor An agreement between the property owner and any agency qualifying under RCW 64.04.130 and/or 84.34.250, which permanently transfers development rights to the agency for purposes of perpetual conservation. Staff Comment: The conservation easement recorded on November 6, 2013 under Auditor's File No. 580282, grants the Jefferson Land Trust a conservation easement for open space that covers 10.59 acres of the subject property. Recommend 6 points County Policy Goals—1 point each (Maximum 2 points) Assists in implementing the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan by establishing open space corridors between urban growth areas or by retaining fish and wildlife habitat. Staff Comment: The Jefferson Land Trust is pursuing a system of open spaces, greenbelts, and wildlife corridors throughout the county. The conservation easement granted the Jefferson Land Trust furthers the County's Comprehensive Plan to protect significant fish and wildlife habitats and wildlife corridors. Recommend 1 point Tidelands,Shorelands, and Buffers (Section IV. B. amended by Resolution No. 75-95): Undeveloped buffers along marine shorelines qualms for special consideration under the Public Benefit Rating(PBR)System. An undisturbed zone of vegetation, adjacent to marine waters, of no less than 200 feet qualifies automatically for a PBR of 3. Staff Comment: As supported in the report prepared by Peter Bahls(Log Item#2, page 4 of 5), "Under Jefferson County Resolution 75-95, undeveloped buffers of vegetation at least 200 [feet] deep adjacent to marine shorelines, such as occur on the proposed property, receive extra consideration under the Public Benefit Rating system, with three"bonus"points provided." Total County Policy Goal PBRs: 19 points 3. CONCLUDING COMMENTS 1. Total Point Evaluation: Based upon the above evaluation the land would be eligible for 19 points total on the 10.59 acres. The maximum point value allowed under Resolution 82-91 is 12 points. Section VI. C of Resolution 82-91, grants a Current Use Value of 10% of market value for a point rating of 12. 2. The granting of open space/open space tax classification would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the Jefferson County Open Space Program, Resolution No. 82-91 and amended under Resolution No. 75-95. 3. The Conservation Easement encompasses an area of 11.58 acres with one one-acre homesite delineated within as shown on the "Hagen/Durham Conservation Easement"filed under Auditor's File No. 580281. Current Use Assessment Application No. CUA13-00001 &MLA13-00156 Thomas Hagen and Zoe Durham Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner Page 7 of 8 4. The subject property has the development potential of being developed as two(2) separate residential lots with future residential development likely being sited in a manner that takes advantage of the shoreline environment. This conservation easement and open space classification would limit the potential residential development to the one homesite delineated on the"Hagen/Durham Conservation Easement Survey."

The entire parcel was protected on November 6, 2013 under a conservation easement held by the Jefferson Land Trust. The primary purpose of the easement is to permanent conserve the property for its significant habitat and natural resource values. The easement prevents timber harvest, development, or subdivision. (Without the easement, the property could be subdivided into two parcels under current zoning of one residence per five acres, clearcut, and with an additional residential lot developed). Under the easement, a 1 acre surveyed building envelope in the middle of the parcel can continue to be used for a single family residence and associated improvements (septic system, well, ADU). The entire property is located within the proposed boundaries of the Dabob Bay Natural Area—one of the least developed and biologically diverse estuarine embayments remaining in Puget Sound. Within these boundaries, a large number of conservation partners and agencies, including the Washington Department of Natural Resources, Washington Department of Ecology, The Nature Conservancy,Northwest Watershed Institute, Jefferson Land Trust, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, are working with willing landowners to protect and restore habitats. This report provides my opinion of the priority resources of the Hagen and Durham property proposed for transfer to Open Space-Open Space. Priority resources and scoring criteria are defined in the August 5, 1991 Jefferson County Open Space Tax Program report and Jefferson County resolution 75-95 that further recognizes the public importance of shoreline preservation. My qualifications as author of this report include an M.S. in Fisheries Science and Aquatic Ecology from Oregon State University, and 20 years experience as a professional fish and wildlife biologist in Washington and Oregon. I also served as the biologist and contracting project manager to Washington Department of Ecology to facilitate transfer of the Hagen and Durham conservation easement under a National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grant in November of 2013 and wrote the baseline report describing 1 0 • • • environmental conditions on the property as part of transferring the easement to Jefferson Land Trust. HIGH PRIORITY RESOURCES (2 points each) Significant Fish and Wildlife Habitat Areas—2 points recommended The proposed Open Space- Open Space property includes 354 feet of marine shoreline along Dabob Bay and associated steep forested bluffs and mature forest that provide essential habitat for many species dependent upon forests and estuaries for at least some stages of their life history. The parcel is within a Wildlife Habitat Core Area identified in Jefferson County's Draft Wildlife Habitat and Corridors Mapping (2004). More recently, the parcel is within the state's proposed boundaries of the Dabob Bay Natural Area, identified by DNR in 2009 as a state-wide priority for conservation of a significant coastal estuary of Puget Sound. The proposed Open Space land includes shoreline beach (to the surveyed meander line) and shoreline forest that directly and indirectly support nearshore habitat for use by - • Hood Canal coho salmon(federal candidate species) • Hood Canal Summer chum salmon (federal threatened species) • Hood Canal Fall chum salmon • Coastal cutthroat trout • Puget Sound Chinook(federal threatened species) The forest on the property is mature, naturally regenerated forest dominated by Douglas fir in the uplands and a mixture of alder, maple and and western red cedar on the bluffs. The forest provides significant habitat due to the size and age of the dominant trees and proximity to the estuary. Species known to use the forest habitats on the property include- • Great blue heron—feeding along the shoreline and roosting in the forest • Pileated woodpecker—feeding in older forest snags • Bald eagle—roosting and foraging from snags on the property Special Animal Sites —2 points recommended The Hagen and Durham property is located within an extremely important seasonal gathering area for bald eagles. During May and June, more than 100 eagles are typically observed feeding along the shoreline and mudflats and roosting in the forested bluffs fronting this property (see photos). The eagle concentration generally occurs from the south end of Longspit to Camp Discovery, which including this property. 2 • • Surface Water Quality Buffer Areas —2 points recommended The conservation easement protects the steep forested slopes on the property, at least 800 feet in width, adjacent to the shoreline of Dabob Bay, representing an important water quality buffer area for Dabob Bay shorelines. 2. LOW PRIORITY RESOURCES (1 point each) Scenic Vistas- 1 point recommended From a boat or beach, Dabob Bay appears as one of the most pristine bays remaining in Puget Sound, harking back to the days of exploration by Captain Vancouver and with few houses or developments visible along the shorelines. The proposed Open Space property protects the forested shoreline on the property, with no house visible (see photo), protecting the important scenic vistas from Dabob Bay. The conservation easement specifically identifies, as conservation values, the"scenic vistas from Dabob Bay, the Bolton Peninsula and Broadspit County Park" (1.3.c of the easement). Steep or unstable slopes— 1 point recommended Nearly one-half of the Hagen and Durham property proposed for Open Space-open space is comprised of steep, unstable slopes. These are located in Conservation Zone A,west of the top of bluff, shown in the survey map for the conservation easement. These slopes, most of which exceed 60 percent slope and are highly unstable, are protected in the conservation easement to prevent an increase in landslides and impacts to the nearshore habitats. PUBLIC ACCESS Some Public Access— 1 point recommended The conservation easement permits public access for educational and scientific purposes with prior approval of the landowner. TRANSFER OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS Transfer of Development Rights(Conservation Easement)—6 points recommended Jefferson Land Trust holds a conservation easement that covers the entire parcel proposed for Open Space. The conservation easement was recorded on November 6, 2013 under AFN 580282 (attached to this application) 3 • JEFFERSON COUNTY POLICY GOALS JC Policy Goals—JC Comp Open Space Plan, F&W habitat— 1 point recommended The proposed Open Space lands furthers Jefferson County's Comprehensive Plan to protect significant fish and wildlife habitats and wildlife corridors. TIDELANDS, SHORELANDS, AND BUFFERS Undeveloped shoreland buffers—3 points recommended Under Jefferson County Resolution 75-95, undeveloped buffers of vegetation at least 200 deep adjacent to marine shorelines, such as occur on the proposed property, receive'extra consideration under the Public Benefit Rating system, with three"bonus" points provided. Summary If all points recommend above were to be included, a total of 19 points would be awarded, exceeding the 12 point maximum. Some of the priority resources cover all of parcel, others only some of the parcel. However, as an ecological unit, it is my opinion that the proposed Open Space proposal merits the full 12 points. • 4 • [ I � 1 �• ( . .

Current Use Assessment Application No.CUA13-00001 &MLA13-00156 Thomas Hagen and Zoe Durham Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner Page 1 of 8 • C. Location: The property is located at 1590 Toandos Road, situated along the east shore of Dabob Bay and adjacent to the west side of Toandos Road, being a portion of the NE '/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 22, Township 27 North,Range 1 West, WM. Situate in the County of Jefferson, State of Washington. D. Access: Access to this site is from the west side of Toandos Road at street address 1590. E. Property Characteristics: The property consists of a single- cre Assessor's parcel that is rectangular in shape oriented lengthwise in an east-west direction. Its west boundary abuts Dabob Bay and its east boundary has Toandos Road running through near its edge. The property slopes downward to the west for approximately two-thirds(2/3)of its length where it abruptly steepens at a high angle of decent in elevation. The property is forested with the exception of a homesite on the upper portion of the property at its approximate midpoint. F. Zoning/Comprehensive Plan: The subject parcels are zoned Rural Residential 1:5 (RR 1:5)which is consistent with the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map effective August 28, 1998, as amended. G. Surrounding Zoning/Development: The zoning of property adjacent to the north and to the south of the subject property is Rural Residential 1:5 (RR 1:5). The adjacent land to the east is zoned Commercial Forest, and abutting the west boundary of the subject property is Dabob Bay. The surrounding area consists of low density rural residential uses and open forest land(reference 2013 aerial photo, Log Item 5). H. Critical Areas: This site is mapped as having Landslide Hazard Area,Seismic Hazard Area, Critical Aquifer Recharge Area, and Seawater Intrusion Protection Zone(SIPZ), as defined by the Jefferson County Critical Areas Ordinance; and,the property is mapped with varying Shoreline Slope Stability areas that include Unstable Recent Landslide, Unstable, and Stable. I. Project/Parcel History: On November 6, 2013 the applicant, Thomas Hagen and Zoe Durham, granted a conservation easement held by the Jefferson Land Trust under Auditor's File No. 582282. This application for Current Use Assessment was submitted on December 13, 2013, and deemed complete of January 10,2014. J. Public Notice: RCW 84.34.037 requires noticing ten days prior to the public hearing. Application notice was first published in the October 15, 2014 edition of the Jefferson County Leader; however,this notice mistakenly advertised a public hearing date of November 11,2014,which happened to fall on Veteran's Day. Because the public hearing date had to be rescheduled for November 25, 2014, application notice was re-published in the October 29,2014 edition of the Jefferson County Leader, and notice to adjacent property owners was subsequently mailed. Notice of application was posted at the property where it fronts Toandos Road on November 6, 2014. Jefferson County Code Subsection 18.40.210(2)(d)requires that notice boards be maintained in good and legible condition by the applicant during the notice period, be in place at least 15 calendar days prior to the date of hearing and removed within 15 calendar days after the end of the notice period. K. Public Comments: There have been no public comments received as of the date of this report. L. Agency Comments: 1. Jefferson County Assessor's Office: A request for comments was sent to the Jefferson County Assessor's office on February 27, 2014. In their email response dated March 25, 2014, the Assessor's Office expressed a discrepancy of.09 acres between acreages provided on the application and shown for Parcel 3, Volume 6, Page 53 of Surveys. Current Use Assessment Application No.CUA13-00001 &MLA13-00156 Thomas Hagen and Zoe Durham Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner Page 2 of 8 The Assessor's Office also asked for clarification of the building envelope and whether the area titled"Meadow"on the"Hagen/Durham Conservation Easement Survey"was to be considered part of the building envelope. Staff response to Assessor's comments: The issue of acreage discrepancies may be clarified in looking at the"Hagen/Durham Conservation Easement Survey"filed under Auditor's File No. 580281, a reduced copy of which has been provided with this application for open space(Log Item 1, page 5 of 6). The survey provides an acreage breakdown as follows: Conservation Zone A—5.09 acres. Conservation Zone B—5.50 acres. Building Envelope—0.998 acres. Parcel 3 Total— 11.58 acres. It stands to reason that the latest recorded survey would be the more accurate when compared to one produced over thirty years prior when considering current survey technology and more stringent standards. Therefore, in weighing the acreages of the 1983 survey against the 2013 survey, staff recommends that of the most recent to be considered the ruling acreage. In answer to the question of the building site including the area delineated as"Meadow",the Building Envelope Description on the Hagen/Durham Conservation Easement Survey describes a polygon from"True Pont of Beginning"to"True Point of Beginning" and describes it as containing 0.998 acres;therefore,the answer to the question of the homesite including the area delineated as meadow would be answered in the negative. M. State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA): The request for Current Use Assessment is categorically exempt pursuant to WAC 197-11-800(14)(k). 2. RELATIONSHIP WITH LAND USE REGULATIONS: Context of Staff Analysis and Recommendation: The Department of Community Development is charged with the duties of presenting findings and analysis of the request for current use assessment to the Hearing Examiner, who shall then hold a public hearing to determine whether the application conforms with the requirements of the Jefferson County Tax Program (Resolution No. 82-91) and RCW 84.34; whereupon, the Examiner shall issue his recommendation to the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners for final legislative approval. Note: The review below provides the applicable criteria for approval which is followed by a staff comment that summarizes the request's consistency with said criteria. All direct code/resolution citations are provided in italics. A. Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan: Review of the applicable Comprehensive Plan policies are provided under the Current Use Assessment analysis of this report. B. Jefferson County Uninform Development Code, Title 18 JCC: The proposal does not include any development or change of use; therefore, there are no applicable Uniform Development Codes requiring analysis in this report. C. Jefferson County Open Space Tax Program Resolution 82-91: The following sections of Resolution 82-91 Jefferson County Open Space Tax Program — Open Space Lands Part IV apply to this application: Section I.

MAXIMUM PUBLIC BENEFIT RATING (PBR) = 12 points MINIMUM PUBLIC BENEFIT RATING =5 points Section VII. Classification Procedure ...The task of the Board of County Commissioners when reviewing an application for open space current use assessment is to assign a Public Benefit Rating(PBR) using the rating system in Section VI. A. Note: The Public Benefit Rating has been organized in an assessment worksheet for the purpose of convenience(Log Item # 14). A staff evaluation of the rating follows and is based on the report titled"Description of Priority Resources of the MHM 2012 Shurtleff Revocable Trust Property"prepared by Peter Bahls,Fish and Wildlife Biologist and Director,Northwest Watershed Institute(Log Item#2). Due to the qualifications of the author as provided on page 2 of the aforementioned report, staff places a strong reliance on its content through this review. High Priority Resources—2 points each (Total Maximum Points=4) Significant Fish and Wildlife Habitat Areas Access Areas utilized by both special and/or other fish and wildlife in such frequency and diversity for critical ecological processes occurring such as breeding, nesting, nursery,feeding, and resting. Criteria: Eligible lands are those identified by either: (a) the Washington State Department of Wildlife or Washington State Department of Fisheries; or(b) a competent professional whose findings are accepted by the Department of Wildlife—Natural Heritage Program and Priority Habi9tat and Species Program. Staff Comment: As provided in the report prepared by Peter Bahls, proposed open space land includes 354 feet of marine shoreline along Dabob Bay and associated steep forested bluffs and mature forest that provide essential habitat for many species dependent upon forests and estuaries for at least some stages of their life history. The shoreline beach and shoreline forest directly and indirectly supports nearshore habitat for Hood Canal Coho salmon, (federal candidate species), Hood Canal Summer Chum salmon (federal threatened species), Hood Canal Fall Chum salmon, Costal Cutthroat trout, and Puget Sound Chinook salmon(federal threatened species). The forest on the property is mature, naturally regenerated forest dominated by Douglas Fir and Western Red Cedar. Species known to use the forest habitats on the property include Great Blue Heron,Pileated Woodpecker, and Bald Eagle. Recommend 2 points Special Animal and Plant Sites a. Special Animal Sites Those animals defined in the Natural Heritage Plan as being either an endangered, threatened or sensitive species to the Washington State Department of Wildlife. Within Jefferson County, this term shall also include monitor species. Criteria: Eligible sites are those in the Natural Heritage Data Base as verified by the Natural Heritage Program; or which are verified by the State Department of Wildlife or an expert in the field, as containing the same animals and which are acceptable by the state agency for addition to the data base. Staff Comment: As provided in the report prepared by Peter Bahls(Log Item 2,page 3 of 6), this property is located within significant seasonable gathering area for bald eagles. "During May and June, Current Use Assessment Application No.CUA13-00001 &MLA13-00156 Thomas Hagen and Zoe Durham Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner Page 5 of 8 more than 100 eagles are typically observed feeding along the shoreline and mudflats at low tide and roosting in the forested bluffs fronting this property. The eagles are concentrated in the area from the south end of Longspit to Camp Discovery, including this property." Recommend 2 points Surface Water Quality Buffer Areas An undisturbed zone of vegetation, adjacent to a stream, lake,pond, wetland or marine waters, of a sufficient width (no less than 25 feet and no greater than 100 feet), that will benefit a surface water body by protecting water quality and reducing erosion. Criteria: Eligible lands are those meeting the above definition. A Surface Water Quality Buffer Area must be preserved from intrusion by domesticated animals or structures. All Buffer Area lands in or adjacent to pasture land must be fenced to prevent intrusion by domesticated animals. The width of the Buffer is measured upland from the ordinary high-water mark of the stream, lake,pond, or marine waters. In the case of wetlands, the buffer area will be measured upland from the edge of the wetland. The buffer area does not include the wetland itself or the body of water waterward of the ordinary high water mark. Staff Comment: Staff concurs with Peter Bahls in his report(Log Item#2, page 3 of 5) stating that"The conservation easement protects the steep forested slopes on the property, at least 800 feet in width, adjacent to the shoreline of Dabob Bay, representing an important water quality buffer area for Dabob Bay shorelines." Recommend 2 points Low Priority Resources—1 point each Scenic Vistas An area providing unique or unusual views of natural features in Jefferson County, which are significant to the aesthetic character of the County, within the jurisdiction of the Scenic Highways Act. Criteria: Eligible lands are those meeting the definition above, and consisting of large, uninterrupted expanses or other historically open areas. Such lands should be free of any structural improvements and substantially preserve the scenic vista. Staff Comment: As stated in the report prepared by Peter Bahls(Log Item#2, page 3 of 5), "The proposed Open Space property protects the forested shoreline on the property, with no house visible, protecting the important scenic vistas from Dabob Bay."The conservation easement and proposed open space classification would bar a full development scenario which could potentially result in an additional single family residential development along the shoreline,thus impacting the pristine vistas referenced in Mr. Bahls' report. Recommend 1 point Steep or Unstable Slopes Steep slopes are those with a slope of 30%or greater. Unstable slopes may be less than 30%but must be verified by a qualified slope stability engineer. Criteria: Eligible lands are those meeting the definition above or those verified by an expert in the field. Staff Comment: As provided in Mr. Bahls report, "Nearly one-half of the Hagen and Durham property proposed for Open Space-open space is comprised of steep, unstable slopes.""These slopes, most of which exceed 60 percent slope and are highly unstable, are protected in the conservation easement to prevent an increase in landslides and impacts to the nearshore habitats." Recommend 1 point Current Use Assessment Application No.CUA13-00001 &MLA13-00156 Thomas Hagen and Zoe Durham Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner Page 6 of 8 Some Public Access Staff Comment: As stated in the report prepared by Peter Bahls(Log Item#2, page 3 of 5), "The conservation easement permits public access for educational and scientific purposes with prior approval of the landowner." Recommend 1 point Transfer of Development Rights(TDR) (Total Maximum Points=6) Conveyance recorded with the Auditor An agreement between the property owner and any agency qualibiing under RCW 64.04.130 and/or 84.34.250, which permanently transfers development rights to the agency for purposes of perpetual conservation. Staff Comment: The conservation easement recorded on November 6, 2013 under Auditor's File No. 580282, grants the Jefferson Land Trust a conservation easement for open space that covers 10.59 acres of the subject property. Recommend 6 points County Policy Goals—1 point each (Maximum 2 points) Assists in implementing the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan by establishing open space corridors between urban growth areas or by retaining fish and wildlife habitat. Staff Comment: The Jefferson Land Trust is pursuing a system of open spaces, greenbelts, and wildlife corridors throughout the county. The conservation easement granted the Jefferson Land Trust furthers the County's Comprehensive Plan to protect significant fish and wildlife habitats and wildlife corridors. Recommend 1 point Tidelands,Shorelands, and Buffers (Section IV. B. amended by Resolution No. 75-95): Undeveloped buffers along marine shorelines quay for special consideration under the Public Benefit Rating(PBR)System. An undisturbed zone of vegetation, adjacent to marine waters, of no less than 200 feet qualifies automatically for a PBR of 3. Staff Comment: As supported in the report prepared by Peter Bahis(Log Item#2, page 4 of 5), "Under Jefferson County Resolution 75-95, undeveloped buffers of vegetation at least 200 [feet] deep adjacent to marine shorelines, such as occur on the proposed property, receive extra consideration under the Public Benefit Rating system, with three"bonus"points provided." Total County Policy Goal PBRs: 19 points 3. CONCLUDING COMMENTS 1. Total Point Evaluation: Based upon the above evaluation the land would be eligible for 19 points total on the 10.59 acres. The maximum point value allowed under Resolution 82-91 is 12 points. Section VI. C of Resolution 82-91, grants a Current Use Value of 10% of market value for a point rating of 12. 2. The granting of open space/open space tax classification would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the Jefferson County Open Space Program, Resolution No. 82-91 and amended under Resolution No. 75-95. 3. The Conservation Easement encompasses an area of 11.58 acres with one one-acre homesite delineated within as shown on the"Hagen/Durham Conservation Easement"filed under Auditor's File No. 580281. Current Use Assessment Application No.CUA13-00001 &MLA13-00156 Thomas Hagen and Zoe Durham Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner Page 7 of 8 a • 4. The subject property has the development potential of being developed as two(2)separate residential lots with future residential development likely being sited in a manner that takes advantage of the shoreline environment. This conservation easement and open space classification would limit the potential residential development to the one homesite delineated on the"Hagen/Durham Conservation Easement Survey." STAFF RECOMMENDATION Based on the above findings, analysis, and conclusions,the application for enrollment in the Jefferson County Open Space Tax Program as Open Space/Open Space Lands Current Use Assessment as described in this report, is hereby recommended for APPROVAL subject to the following conditions: RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS 1. As required in Part I, Section 1, B of Resolution 82-91, prior to approval,the applicant shall provide certification of"no delinquent property tax"issued by the Jefferson County Treasurer. Approval will be denied if the landowner has failed to satisfy any judgments Jefferson County has obtained against the landowner, or if the landowner owes any fee to Jefferson County, or has failed to pay traffic fines or penalties of the Jefferson County District Court. 2. The applicant shall enter into an Open Space Taxation Agreement with the Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners. The executed agreement shall be recorded at the expense of the applicant. 3. Any compensating tax due at the time of the transfer shall be paid in full. Prepared by Project Planner, Tim Woolett November 18, 2014.

For#1E Property Characteristics, would you please change as follows? -from "owned by Hillary Ann Shurtleff' to "owned by the MHM Shurtleff 2012 Revocable Trust(Hillary Anne Shurtleff, Trustee)" For the conditions: I assume these don't have to be done prior to the hearing? (i.e. I assume we don't have to get the certification of"no delinquent property tax" etc. prior to the hearing? [Taxes are BTW all paid up.]) I understand that my parents have spoken with you and know where to go for the hearing. (We are grateful for their help!) Thanks so much for all of your help with this!

Please read it over and if you find any content in error, don't hesitate to let me know. I was a little rushed near the deadline so there may be some typo's, which we can just chalk up to government work. It's been a pleasure working with you on this project.

The application was reviewed by Jefferson County Permit Center staff on 11/30/99 for the potential presence of critical areas regulated under the provisions of the Ordinance, and the following critical areas were confirmed as potentially present on the subject property: Landslide hazard; wetlands associated with shoreline; seismic hazard; shoreline (designation is Conservancy); susceptible aquifer recharge area; adjacent commercial forest land. 2.) Acting upon the above information, Jefferson County staff conducted a site inspection of the subject property on 12/01/99 and confirmed the existence of the following critical areas and/or their associated buffers on the property: Landslide hazard; shoreline, adjacent forest lands. 3.) The proposed location for the addition to the single family residence has been determined to be outside of the severe landslide hazard area and will not require the submittal of a geotechnical report. 4.) The fish and wildlife habitat area is entirely associated with the shoreline.The minimum buffer for fish and wildlife habitat area along the shoreline is 30 feet as measured from the beginning of the vegetation line along the beach. In this instance, the required fish and wildlife habitat area buffer is entirely contained within the landslide hazard area and its associated buffer and needs no additional consideration. 5.) Aquifer recharge areas in Jefferson County are characterized by porous geologic 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. 6.) Susceptible aquifer recharge areas are those with geologic and hydrologic conditions that promote rapid infiltration of recharge waters to groundwater aquifers. This includes any portion of Jefferson County with a DRASTIC index of greater than or equal to 180 points as determined using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency DRASTIC methodology: Drastic:A Standardized System for Evaluating Ground Water Pollution Using Hydrogeologic Settings (EPA 600/23-87-035). 7.) These bluffs are considered unstable and are subject to catatrophic slides. The potential for an earthquake of a high magnitude occuring in western Washington in the near future is considered a high probability by regional experts. 8.) The potential for an earthquake of a high magnitude occurring in western Washington in the near future is considered a high probability by regional experts. 9.) Geologically Hazardous Areas in Jefferson County are characterized by slope, soil type, geologic material, and groundwater that may combine to create problems with slope stability, erosion, and water quality during and after construction or during natural events such as earthquakes or severe rainstorms. 10.) Designated long term forest lands are located on the east adjacent property, on which a variety of forest related activities may occur that are not compatible with residential development. These activities include spraying, pruning, harvesting, blasting, drilling, rock curshing, and vehicle movements,which can generate dust, smoke, noise and odor. Forest or mining activities performed in accordance with county, state, and federal laws are not subject to legal action as public nuisances. \\tidemark\data\forms\R_MLT_Parcel_Cond.rpt 12/19/2013 Page 1 of 2 Cases Name Review Type Status Planner 11.) Designated commercial forest la re located on the eastern adjacent prop According to the Jefferson County Interim Forest Lands Ordinance inance No. 01-0121-97), buffer and deve ent restrictions are required on property located adjacent to designated forest lands. Please refer to the attached letter regarding buffers and development restrictions for this property. 12.) Surface drainage shall not be directed across the face of a marine bluff, landslide hazard or ravine. If drainage must be discharged from a bluff to adjacent waters, it shall be collected above the face of the bluff and discharged to the water by tight line drain and provided with an energy dissipating device at the shoreline. A shoreline permit is required to discharge water at the shoreline. 13.) A vegetive buffer of 30 feet shall be permanently maintained from the top or edge of the landslide hazard area. All buffers shall be measured perpendicularly from the top of the landslide hazard area. 14.) Landslide hazard areas and their associated buffers shall remain naturally vegetated. Should buffer disturbance occur during construction, replanting with native vegetation shall be required by the Critical Area Administrator. No alteration shall be made to the landslide hazard area or its associated buffer without prior authorization by the Critical Area Administrator. 15.) Fish and wildlife habitat area buffers shall remain naturally vegetated. Should buffer disturbance occur during construction, replanting with native vegetation shall be required by the Critical Area Administrator. No alteration shall be made to the fish and wildlife habitat area buffer without prior authorization by the Critical Area Administrator. 16.) The proposed development shall be located on the subject property exactly as identified on the Universal Plot Plan, or other Site Plan, approved by the County as part of the triggering permit application.Applicant shall be responsible for contacting and notifying contractor(s)of the above conditions in order to ensure compliance at various stages of construction/development. \\tidemark\data\forms\R_MLT_Parcel_Cond.rpt 12/19/2013 Page 2 of 2 Map Output • 11 Page 1 of 1 ArcIMS HTML Viewer Map t 701153{. 2 _ ,611 701153023 ¶Vj ":3 twa.) 7011530(x0 E 64001] 1 1050 ! a _u.2, !"'`!.'+021 1125 `., 701153018 701153026 521 70115;1020 70''51003 t - 701153022 C 1 t q,p 1 411-1 1 to '�-,,ll.. 1254_._.. ,,..,—S3011 \ 1310 _ ,0'15.1017 701154002 . \ 701153016 i€ '♦1324 =. -- ._.1 701153013 x•55 .4,3,8n _,.. 1155 7011!:!..•.:,.•/; a9a-_ \ ;.. 141 3 Legend Selected Features 1+14U the BuffsrPolygons 1482 SC Roads c _! tS ', a __ + Address Points (Geocode(' �5, 15901602 5 co . _ .22X) i__ Parcels-H 1634 ,, 701221000 III ?O'.2221.)'0 ti .0 701222012 \ 1 ? \i 701222014 i'' I - f, 701222002 Iii t1772._ 70122400' II / 701222003 ' ,1774 S�xwrw=da15} cwiGayl)Cery X_ cs ticGIS i 065+111 FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY- Jefferson County does not attest to the accuracy of the data contained herein and makes no warranty with respect to its correctness or validity.

The property is described as Parcel 3 of Survey,Volume 6/Page 53,which shows the total acreage being 10.49 acres;the application shows 10.58 acres in the Conservation Easement and an additional 1.00 acre for building envelope. I do realize at times a surveyed acreage may change but I would like to make sure this is not an oversight so we may assess it accordingly. The Conservation Easement survey shows the building envelope where the existing house is situated but there is also an area within Conservation Zone B titled Meadow, is this included in the building envelope or an additional area to be added. To clarify, it appears Conservation Zone A would be for the property located below the bluff(hillside)and Conservation Zone B(less building envelope)appears to be the remaining portion of the property. Sorry to be confusing, but my main questions are the acreage clarification and the area marked as Meadow with an indication of being fenced and if this should be added to the lac homesite or is already a portion of. Please call if clarifications of my comments are needed. sherr%e sherrit shad property operatiows Je f fersow Cot Assessors o f fi.ce 360-385:9105 sshoLdPco je f fersow.wa.u.c 1 • v01 or 53 28542.1 •.

This proposal requires a recommendation for inclusion in the tax program by the Jefferson County Hearings Examiner and a signed open space tax agreement with the Board of County Commissioners. Site Address: 1590 Toandos Road, Quilcene,Washington. Recommendation: Approval with conditions. (Recommended conditions attached to this report). FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS 1. PROJECT INFORMATION: A. Applicant: Thomas Hagen and Zoe Durham P.O. Box 639 Quilcene,WA 98376 B. Proposal: CURRENT USE ASSESSMENT-OPEN SPACE/OPEN SPACE. The request is for classification of 10.8 acres of approximately 11.58 acres as open space/open space under the current use tax assessment program RCW 84.34. The entire parcel was protected on November 6, 2013 under a conservation easement held by the Jefferson Land Trust,the primary purpose of which is to permanently conserve the property for its significant habitat and natural resource value by preventing timber harvest, development, or subdivision. This proposal requires a recommendation for inclusion in the tax program by the Jefferson County Hearings Examiner and a signed open space tax agreement with the Board of County Commissioners. Current Use Assessment Application No.CUA13-00001 &MLA13-00156 Thomas Hagen and Zoe Durham Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner Page 1 of 8 C. Location: The property is located at 1590 Toandos Road, situated along the east shore of Dabob Bay and adjacent to the west side of Toandos Road,being a portion of the NE 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 22, Township 27 North,Range 1 West,WM. Situate in the County of Jefferson, State of Washington. D. Access: Access to this site is from the west side of Toandos Road at street address 1590. E. Property Characteristics: The property consists of a single three(3)acre Assessor's parcel that is rectangular in shape oriented lengthwise in an east-west direction. Its west boundary abuts Dabob Bay and its east boundary has Toandos Road running through near its edge. The property slopes downward to the west for approximately two-thirds(2/3)of its length where it abruptly steepens at a high angle of decent in elevation. The property is forested with the exception of a homesite on the upper portion of the property at its approximate midpoint. F. Zoning/Comprehensive Plan: The subject parcels are zoned Rural Residential 1:5 (RR 1:5)which is consistent with the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map effective August 28, 1998, as amended. G. Surrounding Zoning/Development: The zoning of property adjacent to the north and to the south of the subject property is Rural Residential 1:5 (RR 1:5). The adjacent land to the east is zoned Commercial Forest, and abutting the west boundary of the subject property is Dabob Bay. The surrounding area consists of low density rural residential uses and open forest land(reference 2013 aerial photo, Log Item 5). H. Critical Areas: This site is mapped as having Landslide Hazard Area,Seismic Hazard Area, Critical Aquifer Recharge Area, and Seawater Intrusion Protection Zone(SIPZ), as defined by the Jefferson County Critical Areas Ordinance; and,the property is mapped with varying Shoreline Slope Stability areas that include Unstable Recent Landslide, Unstable, and Stable. I. Proiect/Parcel History: On November 6,2013 the applicant,Thomas Hagen and Zoe Durham, granted a conservation easement held by the Jefferson Land Trust under Auditor's File No. 582282. This application for Current Use Assessment was submitted on December 13,2013, and deemed complete of January 10, 2014. J. Public Notice: RCW 84.34.037 requires noticing ten days prior to the public hearing.Application notice was first published in the October 15,2014 edition of the Jefferson County Leader; however,this notice mistakenly advertised a public hearing date of November 11,2014,which happened to fall on Veteran's Day. Because the public hearing date had to be rescheduled for November 25,2014, application notice was re-published in the October 29,2014 edition of the Jefferson County Leader,and notice to adjacent property owners was subsequently mailed.Notice of application was posted at the property where it fronts Toandos Road on November 6,2014. Jefferson County Code Subsection 18.40.210(2)(d)requires that notice boards be maintained in good and legible condition by the applicant during the notice period, be in place at least 15 calendar days prior to the date of hearing and removed within 15 calendar days after the end of the notice period. K. Public Comments: There have been no public comments received as of the date of this report. L. Agency Comments: 1. Jefferson County Assessor's Office: A request for comments was sent to the Jefferson County Assessor's office on February 27,2014. In their email response dated March 25,2014,the Assessor's Office expressed a discrepancy of.09 acres between acreages provided on the application and shown for Parcel 3,Volume 6,Page 53 of Surveys. Current Use Assessment Application No.CUA13-00001 &MLA13-00156 Thomas Hagen and Zoe Durham Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner Page 2 of 8 The Assessor's Office also asked for clarification of the building envelope and whether the area titled"Meadow"on the"Hagen/Durham Conservation Easement Survey"was to be considered part of the building envelope. Staff response to Assessor's comments: The issue of acreage discrepancies may be clarified in looking at the"Hagen/Durham Conservation Easement Survey"filed under Auditor's File No. 580281,a reduced copy of which has been provided with this application for open space(Log Item 1, page 5 of 6). The survey provides an acreage breakdown as follows: Conservation Zone A—5.09 acres. Conservation Zone B—5.50 acres. Building Envelope—0.998 acres. Parcel 3 Total— 11.58 acres. It stands to reason that the latest recorded survey would be the more accurate when compared to one produced over thirty years prior when considering current survey technology and more stringent standards. Therefore, in weighing the acreages of the 1983 survey against the 2013 survey, staff recommends that of the most recent to be considered the ruling acreage. In answer to the question of the building site including the area delineated as"Meadow",the Building Envelope Description on the Hagen/Durham Conservation Easement Survey describes a polygon from"True Pont of Beginning"to"True Point of Beginning"and describes it as containing 0.998 acres;therefore,the answer to the question of the homesite including the area delineated as meadow would be answered in the negative. M. State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA): The request for Current Use Assessment is categorically exempt pursuant to WAC 197-11-800(14)(k). 2. RELATIONSHIP WITH LAND USE REGULATIONS: Context of Staff Analysis and Recommendation: The Department of Community Development is charged with the duties of presenting findings and analysis of the request for current use assessment to the Hearing Examiner, who shall then hold a public hearing to determine whether the application conforms with the requirements of the Jefferson County Tax Program (Resolution No. 82-91) and RCW 84.34; whereupon, the Examiner shall issue his recommendation to the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners for final legislative approval.

MAXIMUM PUBLIC BENEFIT RATING(PBR) = 12 points MINIMUM PUBLIC BENEFIT RATING =S points Section VII. Classification Procedure ...The task of the Board of County Commissioners when reviewing an application for open space current use assessment is to assign a Public Benefit Rating(PBR) using the rating system in Section VI A. Note: The Public Benefit Rating has been organized in an assessment worksheet for the purpose of convenience(Log Item# 14). A staff evaluation of the rating follows and is based on the report titled"Description of Priority Resources of the MHM 2012 Shurtleff Revocable Trust Property"prepared by Peter Bahls,Fish and Wildlife Biologist and Director,Northwest Watershed Institute(Log Item#2).Due to the qualifications of the author as provided on page 2 of the aforementioned report, staff places a strong reliance on its content through this review. High Priority Resources—2 points each (Total Maximum Points=4) Significant Fish and Wildlife Habitat Areas Access Areas utilized by both special and/or other fish and wildlife in such frequency and diversity for critical ecological processes occurring such as breeding, nesting, nursery,feeding, and resting. Criteria: Eligible lands are those identified by either: (a) the Washington State Department of Wildlife or Washington State Department of Fisheries; or(b)a competent professional whose findings are accepted by the Department of Wildlife—Natural Heritage Program and Priority Habi9tat and Species Program. Staff Comment: As provided in the report prepared by Peter Bahls,proposed open space land includes 354 feet of marine shoreline along Dabob Bay and associated steep forested bluffs and mature forest that provide essential habitat for many species dependent upon forests and estuaries for at least some stages of their life history. The shoreline beach and shoreline forest directly and indirectly supports nearshore habitat for Hood Canal Coho salmon,(federal candidate species),Hood Canal Summer Chum salmon (federal threatened species),Hood Canal Fall Chum salmon, Costal Cutthroat trout, and Puget Sound Chinook salmon(federal threatened species). The forest on the property is mature,naturally regenerated forest dominated by Douglas Fir and Western Red Cedar. Species known to use the forest habitats on the property include Great Blue Heron, Pileated Woodpecker, and Bald Eagle. Recommend 2 points Special Animal and Plant Sites a. Special Animal Sites Those animals defined in the Natural Heritage Plan as being either an endangered, threatened or sensitive species to the Washington State Department of Wildlife. Within Jefferson County, this term shall also include monitor species. Criteria: Eligible sites are those in the Natural Heritage Data Base as verified by the Natural Heritage Program; or which are verified by the State Department of Wildlife or an expert in the field, as containing the same animals and which are acceptable by the state agency for addition to the data base. Staff Comment: As provided in the report prepared by Peter Bahls(Log Item 2,page 3 of 6),this property is located within significant seasonable gathering area for bald eagles. "During May and June, Current Use Assessment Application No.CUA13-00001 &MLA13-00156 Thomas Hagen and Zoe Durham Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner Page 5 of 8 more than 100 eagles are typically observed feeding along the shoreline and mudflats at low tide and roosting in the forested bluffs fronting this property. The eagles are concentrated in the area from the south end of Longspit to Camp Discovery, including this property." Recommend 2 points Surface Water Quality Buffer Areas An undisturbed zone of vegetation, adjacent to a stream, lake,pond, wetland or marine waters, of a sufficient width (no less than 25 feet and no greater than 100 feet), that will benefit a surface water body by protecting water quality and reducing erosion. Criteria: Eligible lands are those meeting the above definition. A Surface Water Quality Buffer Area must be preserved from intrusion by domesticated animals or structures. All Buffer Area lands in or adjacent to pasture land must be fenced to prevent intrusion by domesticated animals. The width of the Buffer is measured upland from the ordinary high-water mark of the stream, lake,pond, or marine waters. In the case of wetlands, the buffer area will be measured upland from the edge of the wetland The buffer area does not include the wetland itself or the body of water waterward of the ordinary high water mark. Staff Comment: Staff concurs with Peter Bahls in his report(Log Item#2,page 3 of 5)stating that"The conservation easement protects the steep forested slopes on the property, at least 800 feet in width, adjacent to the shoreline of Dabob Bay,representing an important water quality buffer area for Dabob Bay shorelines." Recommend 2 points Low Priority Resources—1 point each Scenic Vistas An area providing unique or unusual views of natural features in Jefferson County, which are significant to the aesthetic character of the County, within the jurisdiction of the Scenic Highways Act. Criteria:Eligible lands are those meeting the definition above, and consisting of large, uninterrupted expanses or other historically open areas. Such lands should be free of any structural improvements and substantially preserve the scenic vista. Staff Comment: As stated in the report prepared by Peter Bahls(Log Item#2,page 3 of 5),"The proposed Open Space property protects the forested shoreline on the property,with no house visible, protecting the important scenic vistas from Dabob Bay."The conservation easement and proposed open space classification would bar a full development scenario which could potentially result in an additional single family residential development along the shoreline,thus impacting the pristine vistas referenced in Mr. Bahls' report. Recommend 1 point Steep or Unstable Slopes Steep slopes are those with a slope of 30%or greater. Unstable slopes may be less than 30%but must be verified by a qualified slope stability engineer. Criteria: Eligible lands are those meeting the definition above or those verified by an expert in the field. Staff Comment: As provided in Mr. Bahls report, "Nearly one-half of the Hagen and Durham property proposed for Open Space-open space is comprised of steep,unstable slopes.""These slopes,most of which exceed 60 percent slope and are highly unstable, are protected in the conservation easement to prevent an increase in landslides and impacts to the nearshore habitats." Recommend 1 point Current Use Assessment Application No.CUA13-00001 &MLA13-00156 Thomas Hagen and Zoe Durham Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner Page 6 of 8 Some Public Access Staff Comment: As stated in the report prepared by Peter Bahls(Log Item#2,page 3 of 5), "The conservation easement permits public access for educational and scientific purposes with prior approval of the landowner." Recommend 1 point Transfer of Development Rights(TDR) (Total Maximum Points=6) Conveyance recorded with the Auditor An agreement between the property owner and any agency qual5ing under RCW 64.04.130 and/or 84.34.250, which permanently transfers development rights to the agency for purposes of perpetual conservation. Staff Comment: The conservation easement recorded on November 6, 2013 under Auditor's File No. 580282, grants the Jefferson Land Trust a conservation easement for open space that covers 10.59 acres of the subject property. Recommend 6 points County Policy Goals—1 point each (Maximum 2 points) Assists in implementing the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan by establishing open space corridors between urban growth areas or by retaining fish and wildlife habitat. Staff Comment: The Jefferson Land Trust is pursuing a system of open spaces, greenbelts,and wildlife corridors throughout the county. The conservation easement granted the Jefferson Land Trust furthers the County's Comprehensive Plan to protect significant fish and wildlife habitats and wildlife corridors. Recommend 1 point Tidelands,Shorelands, and Buffers (Section IV. B. amended by Resolution No. 75-95): Undeveloped buffers along marine shorelines qualms for special consideration under the Public Benefit Rating(PBR)System.An undisturbed zone of vegetation, adjacent to marine waters, of no less than 200 feet qualifies automatically for a PBR of 3. Staff Comment: As supported in the report prepared by Peter Bahls(Log Item#2,page 4 of 5), "Under Jefferson County Resolution 75-95,undeveloped buffers of vegetation at least 200 [feet] deep adjacent to marine shorelines, such as occur on the proposed property, receive extra consideration under the Public Benefit Rating system,with three"bonus"points provided." Total County Policy Goal PBRs: 19 points 3. CONCLUDING COMMENTS 1. Total Point Evaluation: Based upon the above evaluation the land would be eligible for 19 points total on the 10.59 acres. The maximum point value allowed under Resolution 82-91 is 12 points. Section VI. C of Resolution 82-91, grants a Current Use Value of 10% of market value for a point rating of 12. 2. The granting of open space/open space tax classification would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the Jefferson County Open Space Program,Resolution No. 82-91 and amended under Resolution No. 75-95. 3. The Conservation Easement encompasses an area of 11.58 acres with one one-acre homesite delineated within as shown on the"Hagen/Durham Conservation Easement"filed under Auditor's File No. 580281. Current Use Assessment Application No.CUA13-00001 &MLA13-00156 Thomas Hagen and Zoe Durham Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner Page 7 of 8 4. The subject property has the development potential of being developed as two(2)separate residential lots with future residential development likely being sited in a manner that takes advantage of the shoreline environment. This conservation easement and open space classification would limit the potential residential development to the one homesite delineated on the"Hagen/Durham Conservation Easement Survey." STAFF RECOMMENDATION Based on the above findings, analysis,and conclusions,the application for enrollment in the Jefferson County Open Space Tax Program as Open Space/Open Space Lands Current Use Assessment as described in this report, is hereby recommended for APPROVAL subject to the following conditions: RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS 1. As required in Part I, Section 1, B of Resolution 82-91,prior to approval,the applicant shall provide certification of"no delinquent property tax"issued by the Jefferson County Treasurer.Approval will be denied if the landowner has failed to satisfy any judgments Jefferson County has obtained against the landowner,or if the landowner owes any fee to Jefferson County, or has failed to pay traffic fines or penalties of the Jefferson County District Court. 2.
