Seattle, WA 98117 REPRESENTATIVE: Tim Talbott 17 Quiet Place Brinnon, WA 98320 PLANNER: David Wayne Johnson, Associate Planner SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Due to site constraints caused by geologic conditions, the applicants request a Shoreline Variance to reduce the standard 150 foot wide, shoreline setback to 23 feet, and for a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit Exemption to construct a Single-Family Residence. The site is located at 311873 Highway 101, Brinnon. SUMMARY OF DECISION: Request granted, 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 August 25, 2015, at 2:00 p.m. and adjourned at 2:10 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 DAVID JOHNSON appeared, presented the Department of Community Development Staff Report, and testified that this is the first variance application under the newly adopted Shoreline Master Program that became effective February, 2014. The new SMP expanded the buffer setback requirement from the ordinary high watermark from 30 feet to 150 feet and also required a ten foot wide, building setback from the buffer. The applicants' lot measures 140 feet in depth and is therefore a nonconforming lot. A geological hazard is also onsite. The lot slopes steeply downward from Highway 101 to a bench underlain by solid rock. At the waterward edge of the bench the slope descends steeply to the ordinary high watermark of Hood Canal. The applicants engaged Northwestern Territories, Inc., to provide a Geologic Hazard Assessment for the site, which determined that the best place for the house is on the bench 23 feet from the ordinary high watermark. Staff evaluated the exceptions for nonconforming lots, but found that the applicants' lot cannot meet any exception set forth therein. He conducted a site visit with a representative of the Department of Ecology who wanted to ensure that he understood the application. All concurred with the house location, and DOE helped identify the ordinary high waterline. The site plan on page 2 shows the deck support pilings located 23 feet from the ordinary high water. The house is of the same size or smaller than the neighboring house to the south. Staff finds that the request satisfies all variance criteria and recommends approval with conditions. They propose to construct the house on piles because the site is on bedrock and they cannot excavate for a foundation. The improvements will meet the definition of low impact development. TIM TALBOTT, builder, appeared on behalf of the request and testified that the applicants have owned the property for 30 plus years and camped on the site each summer. They now want to build on the lot, and he appreciates the help from staff and DOE. He agrees with all conditions of approval. No one spoke further in this matter and the Examiner took the matter under advisement. The hearing was concluded. NOTE: A complete record of this hearing is available in the office of Jefferson County Department of Community Development. FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND DECISION: FINDINGS: 1. The Hearing Examiner has heard testimony, admitted documentary evidence into the record, and taken this matter under advisement. 2. This application is exempt from review pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). 2X 3. A Public Hearing before the Hearing Examiner was scheduled for August 25, 2015 at 2 p.m. in the First Floor Conference Room of the Jefferson County Courthouse. The Notice of Public Hearing was published in the Port Townsend/Jefferson County Leader on August 12, 2015. Agencies and adjacent property owners were sent notice of the public hearing on August 11, 2015. The property was posted with the notice on August 12, 2015. 4. The applicants have a possessory ownership interest in an irregular shaped, .63 acre parcel of property that extends from the southern right-of-way line of U.S. 101 to the ordinary high watermark of Hood Canal. The parcel abuts U.S. 101 for 118 linear feet and Hood Canal for 301 linear feet. However, the northern 145 feet of the parcel varies in depth between 40 and 77 feet as measured from the shoreline. Improvements on this narrow portion of the lot include two storage sheds, an onsite septic disposal drainfield, sewer transport line, septic tanks, and pump. The width of the southern, developable portion of the site measures approximately 145 linear feet between U.S. 101 and the shoreline. 5. The applicants have previously used the parcel for tent/RV camping, graded a parking area near U.S. 101, and dug a drinking water well near the northwest corner of the parcel. The applicants now desire to construct a single-family residential dwelling on the site. The parcel and abutting parcels are located within the Rural Residential (RR 1:5) designation of the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan and the RR 1:5 zone classification of the Jefferson County Code (JCC). Both the comprehensive plan and zone authorize single-family residential homes on minimum, five acre lot sizes. Thus, the applicants' parcel is a legally created, nonconforming lot. The parcel is also located within the Conservancy Shoreline Designation of the new Jefferson County Shoreline Master Program (SMP). The parcel contains environmentally sensitive steep slopes and is also identified as a potential geologically hazardous area. 6. The topography of the parcel slopes steeply downward from U.S. 101 to a narrow, flat bench that trends east and west across the southern portion of the parcel near the shoreline. At the shoreward edge of the bench the topography slopes steeply to the shoreline. The bench is underlain by solid rock and cannot be excavated. However, erosion occurs on the steep slopes above and below the bench. 7. Due to the topography and the erosion occurring on the parcel, the applicants engaged Northwestern Territories, Inc., to provide a Geologic Hazard Assessment of the parcel and to determine the most appropriate location for a single-family residential home. Northwestern Territories submitted the assessment dated May, 2015, to the County and confirmed the above described topography. The engineer found that the only realistic place to locate a house is on the bench area of the wider portion of the parcel. The engineer also recommends a 20 foot wide setback from the break in grade at the waterward edge of the bench above the rocky shoreline. The assessment also recommends constructing the house on piles since 3X the underlying rock cannot be excavated, and also because of the potential for rock and landslide debris falling from the upper slope onto the bench. The site plan shows the home constructed on the bench and supported by piles. The wall of the home is shown 30 feet and the decks 23 feet from the ordinary high watermark. Access from the parking lot is provided via a stair and bridge system that enters the house on the upper floor. 8. The previous SMP required a minimum, 30 foot wide setback from the ordinary high watermark. However, the recently adopted SMP requires a structural setback of 150 feet together with a ten foot wide building setback. Thus, the applicants' parcel is rendered unbuildable by the buffer and setback. However, the new SMP makes provision for nonconforming lots such as the applicants' to allow construction of a single-family dwelling within the required setback standards. Section 18.25.270(5) JCC sets forth exceptions to critical area and shoreline buffer standards. However, the applicants' parcel cannot meet all of the criteria for an exemption as the lot is subject to geologic hazards. The location of the home likewise does not qualify for a "common line buffer" exception as residences do not exist on both sides of the parcel, and therefore averaging is not possible. The applicants must therefore obtain a shoreline variance in order to construct their house on the lot as proposed. 9. Prior to obtaining a variance the applicants must show that the request satisfies the criteria set forth in JCC 18.25.580. Furthermore, prior to obtaining a shoreline substantial development permit exception the applicants must show that the request satisfies the criteria set forth in JCC 18.25.560(8). The Examiner finds that the request satisfies all criteria set forth in the JCC as discussed in staff's Findings on pages 5-12 of the Staff Report (Log Item 10). The Examiner hereby adopts staff's findings on each criteria as set forth therein by this reference as if set forth in full. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction to consider and decide the issues presented by this request. 2. The applicants have shown that the request for a shoreline variance and shoreline substantial development permit exemption to allow construction of a single-family residential dwelling meets all criteria set forth in the JCC and SMP and therefore should be granted subject to the following conditions: 1. A building permit shall be required to construct the Single Family Residence. 2. The applicant shall comply with the recommendations outlined in the Geotechnical Hazard Assessment prepared by Northwestern Territories, Inc., dated May 2015. 4X 3. Prior to issuance of the Jefferson County Building Permit, the applicant will be required to submit a small parcel Drainage and Erosion Control Plan as required by the Jefferson County Code. Once the subject permit has been issued, the applicant shall fully implement the provisions of the submitted Drainage and Erosion Control Plan. 4. The applicant shall submit a Habitat Management Plan as outlined in JCC 18.22.440 at time of building permit application. 5. Construction shall substantially comply with the site plans (log item 5) submitted to Jefferson County for the subject case MLA15-00030 as they exist now or are hereafter amended by Jefferson County and/or the Washington State Department of Ecology. 6. Work within the jurisdiction of the Shoreline Program other than as described in this report or depicted on the site plan (log item 5) above shall receive separate review from this office. 7. Final Approval of this Shoreline Variance is made by the Department of Ecology. 8. Construction shall be commenced or, where no construction is involved, the use or activity shall be commenced within two years of the effective date of the permit or permit exemption; provided, that the administrator may authorize a single extension based on reasonable factors, if a request for extension has been filed before the expiration date and notice of the proposed extension is given to parties of record and the Department of Ecology. 9. Authorization to conduct development activities shall terminate five years after the effective date of a permit or permit exemption; provided, that the shoreline administrator may authorize a single extension for a period not to exceed one year based on reasonable factors, if a request for extension has been filed before the expiration date and notice of the proposed extension is given to parties of record and the Department of Ecology. 5X DECISION: The request for a shoreline variance and shoreline substantial development permit exemption to allow construction of a single-family residential dwelling on a site located at 311873 Highway 101, Brinnon, is hereby granted subject to the conditions contained in the conclusions above.

This proposal deviates from the standard 150 foot buffer under JCC 18.25.270(4)(e)(i), and cannot meet the Modest Home Provision under JCC 18.25.270(5)(a)(iii), the common-line buffer, or buffer averaging to reduce the standard buffer under JCC 18.25.270(5)(b) Nonconforming Lots. The request requires a Type Ill Shoreline Variance under the Shoreline Master Program (SMP) JCC 18.25.580 Variance Permit Criteria. A Geotechnical Report has been submitted that supports the proposed 23 foot setback. This proposal is exempt from SEPA review under WAC 197- 11-800(1)(b)(i) and requires public notice, with a 30 day comment period per JCC 18.40.220(2)(a), and a public hearing with a decision by the Jefferson County Hearings Examiner.

LOG ITEM o Robinson Shoreline Variance .• 1 MLA15-00030, SDP15-00008 �- l pfd, BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Applicant/Owner: James and Susan Robinson 6706 26th Ave NW Seattle, WA 98117 Representative: Tim Talbot 17 Quiet Place Brinnon, WA 98320 Legal Description and Location: PARCEL# 932-102-901 BELLEVIEW BLK 29 LOTS 1, 2 & 3 W/PTN VAC ST (LESS R OF W) in Section 29, Township 25, Range 01W located at 311873 Highway 101, Brinnon, WA Site Conditions: The subject property is located between Hood Canal and Highway 101 south of Brinnon and just north of MacDonald Cove. The site drops steeply from the highway to a fairly level building area above the shoreline bank (see log item 5 for site and building plans). The parcel is approximately .63 acres and is currently developed with two exempt storage buildings, an on-site septic system, well, parking area, and stairs to the beach. The site is densely vegetated with native vegetation. Shoreline Designation: Pursuant to the Shoreline Master Program (SMP — JCC 18.25), the proposed building site is located within a Conservancy Shoreline Designation. Single Family Residential development is a permitted use in the Conservancy Shoreline Designation per JCC Use Table 18.25.220. Comprehensive Plan Designation: The Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan designates the property and surrounding area "Rural Residential 1:5" with a density of one dwelling unit per 5 acres. The parcel is a legal non-conforming lot at .63 acres. Pre-application Conference: A pre-application consultation was conducted on April 3, 2015 and was attended by the Applicant's Representative Tim Talbot and David Wayne Johnson, Jefferson County Department of Community Development. Staff determined that the proposed single family residence could not meet the standard 150 foot buffer, nor the buffer reduction through averaging or common line buffer under JCC 18.25.270(5), and therefore requires a Shoreline Variance. Site Visits: Staff conducted a site visit on June 17th while posting the property with the notice of application (log item 7 . A subsequent site visit was conducted with Staff, Tim PP ( 9 ) q Talbot and Rick Mraz, the Department of Ecology Shoreline Specialist for Jefferson County.

Agencies and adjacent property owners were sent notice of the public hearing on August 11, 2015. The property was posted with the notice on August 12, 2015. ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREA REVIEW: This proposal received consistency review pursuant to the Jefferson County Code Title 18 Unified Development Code, including consideration of environmentally sensitive areas (JCC 18.15. VI-D et seq.). GIS mapping indicates the site is within an Intermediate Shoreline Slope Stability area and identified as a potentially geologically hazardous area. A Geotechnical Report was prepared by NTI dated May 2015 (log item 6) that justifies the setback reduction due to geologic site constraints.

STAFF FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: 1. The proposal is to reduce the required 150 foot standard shoreline buffer and 10 foot building setback (JCC 18.25.270(4)(e) & (d)) to 23 feet to the deck posts and 30 feet to the foundation piles from Ordinary High Water Mark, or 13 feet from the top of the shoreline bank per the site plan (log item 5), due to geologic site constraints. 2. The lot is deemed Nonconforming because the entire buildable area/lot is within the standard 150 buffer and "it is not possible to construct a structure outside of/landward of the shoreline buffer..." JCC 18.25.100 (14) N Definitions. 3. Since the proposal cannot meet the required standard 150 foot buffer under JCC 18.25.270(4)(e)(i), and could not meet the common line buffer or buffer averaging to reduce the required buffer under JCC 18.25.270(5)(b) Nonconforming Lots, development on Nonconforming Lots that do not meet the requirements of 18.25.270(5)(a) or (b), shall require a Shoreline Variance per JCC 18.25.270(c). 4. The proposal shall be reviewed below under #11 for compliance with the variance permit criteria under JCC 18.25.580. 5. A Geotechnical Report was prepared by NTI dated May 2015 (log item 6) and submitted with the variance application. The report concluded that the best location for the single family residence due to geologic constraints, was the area proposed on the site plan (log item 5). Also see photograph 2, on page 3 of the report for the proposed building site. 6. The proposed development is subject to the Unified Development Code (UDC) for Jefferson County, Washington. Provisions for the protection of environmentally sensitive areas are found in JCC 18.22. The following environmentally sensitive areas were confirmed by staff to be present on the subject property: Conservancy Shoreline Designation; Intermediate Shoreline Slope Stability. Staff Comment: A Geotechnical Report was prepared by NTI dated May 2015 (log item 6) to address the Intermediate Shoreline Slope Stability. Single Family Residential development is a permitted use in the Conservancy Shoreline Designation. 5. The Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan, 1998, Environment Element Goal 5.0 (p. 8-36) states: LOG ITEM Robinson Shoreline Variance 4 MLA15-00030, SDP15-00008 i; ' of Allow development along shorelines, which is compatible with the protection of natural processes, natural conditions, and natural functions of the shoreline environment. Staff Comment: The proposed development has undergone review under the UDC and SMP. As conditioned through existing Jefferson County regulations, the proposal is consistent with this policy. 6. The Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan, 1998, Environmental Element Policy 5.1 (p. 8-36) states: Regulate shoreline land use activities based on the best available scientific information. Staff Comment: The proposal is consistent with this policy. 7. The proposal is subject to the goals and policies of the Jefferson County Shoreline Master Program (SMP). The proposal is located landward of the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) on shoreline that is designated "Conservancy." Staff Comment: In addition to lying within the "Conservancy" shoreline designation, the proposal is subject to other program policies and performance standards. The following sections of the SMP are specifically applicable to the proposal; additional policies and performance standards may also apply: JCC 18.25.210 Conservancy JCC 18.25.500 Residential Development JCC 18.25.560 Exemptions JCC 18.25.580 Variances These policy and performance standard requirements are discussed below. 8. JCC 18.25.210, Conservancy Designation, states that these areas are defined as: (d) Conservancy (C). (i) Purpose. The conservancy designation provides for sustained use of resource lands and other relatively undeveloped shorelines while protecting ecological functions, conserving natural, historic and cultural resources, and providing recreational opportunities. (ii) Designation Criteria. A conservancy designation is assigned to shoreline areas landward of the ordinary high water mark if they do not meet the criteria for the natural designation and if any of the following characteristics apply: (A) The shoreline is relatively undeveloped or currently supporting resource-based uses; or (B) The shoreline can support low impact outdoor recreational activities; or LOG ITEM Robinson Shoreline Variance 5 MLA15-00030, SDP15-00008 yt Ajta of (C) The shoreline is predominantly low density rural residential use (RR 1:10, RR 1:20); or (D) The shoreline can support low density residential development and low intensity water-oriented uses, including some commercial and industrial uses, without significant adverse impacts to shoreline functions or processes; or (E) The shoreline is a good candidate for ecological restoration. Staff Comment: The criteria for a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit are found in WAC 173-27-150, which requires the proposed development to be consistent with: RCW 90.58 Shoreline Management Act; WAC 173.27 Shoreline Management Permit and Enforcement Provisions; and the local master program (SMP). The Substantial Development criteria are address through the review of the Shoreline Substantial Development permit. As conditioned through the Shoreline Variance Use and review under the JCC, the proposed project complies with these regulations. 9. JCC 18.25.560(8) Permit Exemptions, states: (8) Single-Family Residences. Construction on shorelands by an owner, lessee, or contract purchaser of a single-family residence for their own use or for the use of their family, which residence does not exceed a height of 35 feet above average grade level and that meets all requirements of the state agency or local government having jurisdiction thereof. Single-family residence means a detached dwelling designed for and occupied by one family including those structures and developments within a contiguous ownership which are a normal appurtenance as defined in Article II of this chapter. Staff Comment: the proposal is consistent with this exemption for construction of a single family residence. 10. JCC 18.25.500 Residential Development JCC 16.25.500 contains the following relevant policies and regulations for single family residential development within the conservancy shoreline jurisdiction: (1) Policies. (a) Residential use is not water-dependent but is a preferred use of the shorelines when such development is planned and carried out in a manner that protects shoreline functions and processes to be consistent with the no net loss provisions of this program. LOG ITEM Robinson Shoreline Variance 6 MLA15-00030, SDP15-00008 (b) All residential use and development should be planned, designed, located, and operated to avoid adverse impacts on shoreline processes, aquatic habitat, biological functions, water quality and quantity, aesthetics, navigation, and neighboring uses. (c) All residential use and development should be properly managed to avoid damage to the shoreline environment and prevent cumulative impacts associated with shoreline armoring, overwater structures, stormwater runoff septic systems, introduction of pollutants, and vegetation clearing. (d) New residential development should be limited to densities that are consistent with the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan goals and policies, zoning restrictions, and this program. The density per acre of development should be appropriate to local natural and cultural features. (e) Low impact development practices and clustering of dwelling units and accessory structures should be implemented as appropriate to preserve natural features, minimize physical impacts and reduce utility and road construction and maintenance costs. (f) New residential development should be planned and built in a manner that avoids the need for structural shore armoring and flood hazard reduction in accordance with JCC 18.25.380 (Flood control structures) and 18.25.410 (shoreline stabilization) of this program and other applicable plans and laws. (g) Residential development should be designed to: (i) Maintain or improve ecological functions and processes; and (ii) Preserve and enhance native shoreline vegetation; and (iii) Control erosion; and (iv) Protect water quality; and (v) Preserve shore line aesthetic characteristics; and (vi) Minimize structural obstructions to public views and normal public use of the shoreline and the water.

LOG ITEM Robinson Shoreline Variance �N 7 MLA15-00030, SDP15-00008 -- m (4) Regulations— Primary Residences and Property Subdivision. (a) Residential use and development shall be planned, designed, located, and operated to avoid adverse impacts on shoreline processes, aquatic habitat, biological functions, water quality, aesthetics, navigation, and neighboring uses. (b) The buffer requirements in Article VI of this program apply to residences, normal appurtenances, and accessory dwelling units, except that docks, floats, and beach access structures and other water-dependent and water-related structures accessory to residential use may be permitted to encroach into the buffer in accordance with the applicable provisions of this program. Accessory structures must be sited and designed to not require shoreline armoring within 100 years. Staff Comment: The applicant will be required to apply for a building permit to construct the residence. As a condition of approval, a habitat management plan to assess environmental impacts from the development and to include planting native shoreline vegetation to achieve no net loss of shoreline ecological processes and functions (JCC 18.25.260(2)) will be required. Also, as recommended in the Geotechnical Report, all stormwater generated from the development shall be "tight-lined" to the beach as designed by a Stormwater Engineer, to prevent soil erosion. The proposal as conditioned meets these policies and regulations. 11. JCC 18.25.580 Variance permit criteria The following is the complete text for Shoreline Variances under the Shoreline Master Program, along with applicant and staff comments on each of the approval criteria: (1) The purpose of a variance is to grant relief to specific bulk or dimensional requirements set forth in this program where there are extraordinary or unique circumstances relating to the property such that the strict implementation of this program would impose unnecessary hardships on the applicant/proponent or thwart the policies set forth in RCW 90.58.020. Use restrictions may not be varied. In authorizing a variance, special conditions may be attached to the permit by the county or the Department of Ecology to control any undesirable effects of the proposed use. Final authority for variance permit decisions shall be granted by the Department of Ecology. (2) Variances will be granted in any circumstance where denial would result in a thwarting of the policy enumerated in RCW 90.58.020. In all instances extraordinary circumstances shall be shown and the public interest shall suffer no substantial detrimental effect. (3) Variances may be authorized, provided the applicant/proponent can demonstrate all of the following: LOG ITEM Robinson Shoreline Variance v. 47—"- 8 MLA15-00030, SDP15-00008 tifitifa OT (a) That the strict application of the bulk or dimensional criteria set forth in this program precludes or significantly interferes with a reasonable permitted use of the property; Applicant Comment: This lot is a waterfront lot adjacent to Highway 101. It is approximately 140 feet from the property line at the Highway to the Ordinary High Water Mark of Hood Canal. It cannot meet the required 150 foot setback from OHWM as required under current regulations. The site is steep, with a parking area located just off the highway and approximately 8' below the road. The parking area is approximately 25 feet deep and extends to the edge of a steep slope. The slope drops 35 feet to a more or less level area which extends the full width of the lot about 15 feet above the water. This is the only area on the site feasible for construction. The building area dimension is about 50 feet from the water to the toe of the steep slope. The proposed house is 36 feet wide by 24 feet deep with a 10 foot deck on the water side. This means that in order to meet a 30 foot setback from the water the house would have to be dug into the hillside. The hillside is mostly solid basalt rock, as is the surface of the building area and would require blasting, drilling and other measures along the toe of the hill to maintain the setback. It is proposed that in order to avoid compromising the integrity of the existing slope, and the cost of retaining the slope if altered, that the house be located closer to the water on pilings pinned to the rock base, allowing the existing slope and surface to remain undisturbed and allowing the normal runoff to flow beneath the house. Staff Comment: Since the proposal cannot meet the required standard 150 foot buffer under JCC 18.25.270(4)(e)(i), and could not meet the common line buffer or buffer averaging to reduce the required buffer under JCC 18.25.270(5)(b) Nonconforming Lots, development on Nonconforming Lots that do not meet the requirements of 18.25.270(5)(a) or (b), shall require a Shoreline Variance per JCC 18.25.270(c). Therefore, the strict application of the bulk or dimensional standards, in this case the standard buffer or average buffer, would preclude a reasonable permitted use or the property. The proposal meeting this criterion. (b) That the hardship described above is specifically related to the property, and is the result of conditions such as irregular lot shape, size, or natural features and the application of this program, and not, for example, from deed restrictions or the applicant's/proponent's own actions; Applicant Comment: The sole reason for this request is the natural features of the property. The lot size does not allow for the required setback from the water of 150 feet as it is only about 140 feet deep. In addition, the steep slope on the westerly portion of the lot prevents building near the highway and provides a limited buildable area near the water. While it may be possible to locate the house at 30 feet from ordinary high water mark, to do so would create an unreasonable expense as well as compromise the stability of the slope due to the need to drill and blast the rock at the toe of the slope. LOG STEM Robinson Shoreline Variance ' 9 MLA15-00030, SDP15-00008 frf ' Ct Of Staff Comment: Due to the unique shape, size, orientation and slope of the parcel, it is not feasible to meet the standard or average buffers, and building into the hillside would unnecessarily disturb and disrupt the natural shoreline, potentially causing significant damage, as well as being cost prohibitive. These reasons combined are considered a hardship which the applicant did not create, but "inherited" as the property had these constraints long before the Shoreline Program was created. (c) That the design of the project will be compatible with other permitted activities in the area and will not cause adverse effects on adjacent properties or the shoreline environment; Applicant Comment: The home is a modest size, (2,010 sq. ft.) and is a traditional design. It will have no adverse effect on the neighbors to the south as it will be well behind their line of sight to the water even facing to the north. There is no home on the property to the north and any development there would be unaffected by this project. Further, there are no homes on the west side of the highway, and the roof of the proposed home would be well below the level of the highway. From the shoreline, the adjusted setback will have no effect as it will be well westward of the high water mark. Staff Comment: The proposed footprint is significantly smaller than the adjacent property to the south. The construction of the house on piles reduces the impact to the shoreline environment, and is commonly referred to as "low impact development" because it will minimally interfere with the natural hydrology of the site and the shoreline ecological processes and functions. Staff agrees with the applicant's statements related to lack of impact to adjacent properties. The proposal complies with this criterion. (d) That the variance authorized does not constitute a grant of special privilege not enjoyed by the other properties in the area, and will be the minimum necessary to afford relief, Applicant Comment: Authorization of this variance does not constitute a special privilege for this property. It is rather an environmental accommodation designed to preserve the integrity of the existing slope and storm water runoff. There is no advantage to the property owner in locating closer to the water, other than the reasons cited. Staff Comment: The neighbors to the south are as close to the shoreline, if not closer, than the proposed residence would be. If there had been an adjacent residence to the north within 300 feet of the proposal, the applicant could have used the common line buffer between the two existing residences, but that was not possible under JCC 18.25.270(1) or (2). Nor could the applicant use the buffer averaging provisions in JCC 18.25.270(3) or (4) since using the standard buffer for the vacant lot would have put the proposed house up into the geologically hazardous area. The proposed structure is designed and sized to be appropriate to the subject parcel. The proposal complies with this criterion. LOG iTEAA Robinson Shoreline Variance � V 10 MLA15-00030, SDP15-00008 r�` ®°"� (e) That the public interest will suffer no substantial detrimental effect; Applicant Comment: The public interest will be unaffected by this variance. It will not be visible to the public, nor will it hinder any use of the waterway, roadway or adjacent properties. Staff Comment: No substantial detrimental effect is anticipated due to the determination and recommendations of the Geologist and design of the structure. The proposal complies with this criterion. (f) That the public rights of navigation and use of the shorelines will not be materially interfered with by the granting of the variance; and Applicant Comment: Since all activity remains westward of the high water line there is no adverse effect to navigation rights or use of the shoreline. Staff Comment: The proposal is on private property with no public access element, nor will it interfere with marine vessel navigation. The proposal complies with this criterion. (g) Mitigation is provided to offset unavoidable adverse impacts caused by the proposed development or use. Applicant Comment: There are no adverse impacts associated with the development or use of this project. Staff Comment: As a condition of approval, staff will recommend that the applicant submit a Habitat Management Plan prepared by a qualified Biologist with their building permit application to assess the impact of the development on the shoreline ecological processes and functions and recommend mitigation to offset any impacts. As conditioned, the proposal complies with this criterion. (4) In the granting of all variances, consideration shall be given to the cumulative environmental impact of additional requests for like actions in the area. For example, if variances were granted to other developments in the area where similar circumstances exist, the total of the variances should also remain consistent with the policies of RCW 90.58.020 and should not produce significant adverse effects to the shoreline ecological functions and processes or other users. Staff Comments: Staff does not anticipate other variance requests in the area, since most parcels have been developed. However, similar requests for relief under the variance criteria will be reviewed to assess cumulative impacts in relation to this application and should be either modified, approved with conditions, or denied accordingly. (5) Other factors that may be considered in the review of variance requests include the conservation of valuable natural resources and the protection of views from nearby roads, surrounding properties and public areas. In addition, variance requests based on the applicant's/proponent's desire to enhance the view from the subject development may be granted where there are no likely detrimental effects to existing or future users, other features or shoreline ecological functions and/or processes, and where reasonable alternatives of equal or greater consistency with LOGiIEM Robinson Shoreline Variance C) 11 MLA15-00030, SDP15-00008 yam° etf t of this program are not available. In platted residential areas, variances shall not be granted that allow a greater height or lesser shore setback than what is typical for the immediate block or area. Staff Comment: With the proposed orientation the top of the residential structure will be at or below the level of the highway, and therefore, the potential impacts to neighbor's view upland or across the highway are greatly reduced or eliminated. (6) Permits and/or variances applied for or approved under other county codes shall not be construed as shoreline permits under this program. [Ord. 7-13 Exh. A (Art. IX § 5)J Staff Comment: This proposal has not applied for nor been granted permits or variances under other county code. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on the foregoing findings and conclusions and the following recommended conditions, staff recommends APPROVAL of the Shoreline Variance for reduction of the required the standard shoreline buffer and building setback to 23 feet to the deck posts and 30 feet to the foundation piles from Ordinary High Water Mark, and Substantial Development Permit Exemption for construction of a Single Family Residence, subject to the following recommended conditions. Recommended Conditions: 1. A building permit shall be required to construct the Single Family Residence. 2. The applicant shall comply with the recommendations outlined in the Geotechnical Report prepared by Stratum Group and dated May 2015. 3. Prior to issuance of the Jefferson County Building Permit, the applicant will be required to submit a small parcel Drainage and Erosion Control Plan as required by the Jefferson County Code. Once the subject permit has been issued, the applicant shall fully implement the provisions of the submitted Drainage and Erosion Control Plan. 4. The applicant shall submit a Habitat Management Plan as outlined in JCC 18.22.440 at time of building permit application. 5.

Seattle, WA 98117 REPRESENTATIVE: Tim Talbott 17 Quiet Place Brinnon, WA 98320 PLANNER: David Wayne Johnson, Associate Planner SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Due to site constraints caused by geologic conditions, the applicants request a Shoreline Variance to reduce the standard 150 foot wide, shoreline setback to 23 feet, and for a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit Exemption to construct a Single-Family Residence. The site is located at 311873 Highway 101, Brinnon. SUMMARY OF DECISION: Request granted, 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 August 25, 2015, at 2:00 p.m. and adjourned at 2:10 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 lx DAVID JOHNSON appeared, presented the Department of Community Development Staff Report, and testified that this is the first variance application under the newly adopted Shoreline Master Program that became effective February, 2014. The new SMP expanded the buffer setback requirement from the ordinary high watermark from 30 feet to 150 feet and also required a ten foot wide, building setback from the buffer. The applicants' lot measures 140 feet in depth and is therefore a nonconforming lot. A geological hazard is also onsite. The lot slopes steeply downward from Highway 101 to a bench underlain by solid rock. At the waterward edge of the bench the slope descends steeply to the ordinary high watermark of Hood Canal. The applicants engaged Northwestern Territories, Inc., to provide a Geologic Hazard Assessment for the site, which determined that the best place for the house is on the bench 23 feet from the ordinary high watermark. Staff evaluated the exceptions for nonconforming lots, but found that the applicants' lot cannot meet any exception set forth therein. He conducted a site visit with a representative of the Department of Ecology who wanted to ensure that he understood the application. All concurred with the house location, and DOE helped identify the ordinary high waterline. The site plan on page 2 shows the deck support pilings located 23 feet from the ordinary high water. The house is of the same size or smaller than the neighboring house to the south. Staff finds that the request satisfies all variance criteria and recommends approval with conditions. They propose to construct the house on piles because the site is on bedrock and they cannot excavate for a foundation. The improvements will meet the definition of low impact development. TIM TALBOTT, builder, appeared on behalf of the request and testified that the applicants have owned the property for 30 plus years and camped on the site each summer. They now want to build on the lot, and he appreciates the help from staff and DOE. He agrees with all conditions of approval. No one spoke further in this matter and the Examiner took the matter under advisement. The hearing was concluded. NOTE: A complete record of this hearing is available in the office of Jefferson County Department of Community Development. FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND DECISION: FINDINGS: 1. The Hearing Examiner has heard testimony, admitted documentary evidence into the record, and taken this matter under advisement. 2. This application is exempt from review pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). 2X 3. A Public Hearing before the Hearing Examiner was scheduled for August 25, 2015 at 2 p.m. in the First Floor Conference Room of the Jefferson County Courthouse. The Notice of Public Hearing was published in the Port Townsend/Jefferson County Leader on August 12, 2015. Agencies and adjacent property owners were sent notice of the public hearing on August 11, 2015. The property was posted with the notice on August 12, 2015. 4. The applicants have a possessory ownership interest in an irregular shaped, .63 acre parcel of property that extends from the southern right-of-way line of U.S. 101 to the ordinary high watermark of Hood Canal. The parcel abuts U.S. 101 for 118 linear feet and Hood Canal for 301 linear feet. However, the northern 145 feet of the parcel varies in depth between 40 and 77 feet as measured from the shoreline. Improvements on this narrow portion of the lot include two storage sheds, an onsite septic disposal drainfield, sewer transport line, septic tanks, and pump. The width of the southern, developable portion of the site measures approximately 145 linear feet between U.S. 101 and the shoreline. 5. The applicants have previously used the parcel for tent/RV camping, graded a parking area near U.S. 101 , and dug a drinking water well near the northwest corner of the parcel. The applicants now desire to construct a single-family residential dwelling on the site. The parcel and abutting parcels are located within the Rural Residential (RR 1:5) designation of the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan and the RR 1:5 zone classification of the Jefferson County Code (JCC). Both the comprehensive plan and zone authorize single-family residential homes on minimum, five acre lot sizes. Thus, the applicants' parcel is a legally created, nonconforming lot. The parcel is also located within the Conservancy Shoreline Designation of the new Jefferson County Shoreline Master Program (SMP). The parcel contains environmentally sensitive steep slopes and is also identified as a potential geologically hazardous area. 6. The topography of the parcel slopes steeply downward from U.S. 101 to a narrow, flat bench that trends east and west across the southern portion of the parcel near the shoreline. At the shoreward edge of the bench the topography slopes steeply to the shoreline. The bench is underlain by solid rock and cannot be excavated. However, erosion occurs on the steep slopes above and below the bench. 7. Due to the topography and the erosion occurring on the parcel, the applicants engaged Northwestern Territories, Inc., to provide a Geologic Hazard Assessment of the parcel and to determine the most appropriate location for a single-family P 9 Y residential home. Northwestern Territories submitted the assessment dated May, 2015, to the County and confirmed the above described topography. The engineer found that the only realistic place to locate a house is on the bench area of the wider portion of the parcel. The engineer also recommends a 20 foot wide setback from the break in grade at the waterward edge of the bench above the rocky shoreline. The assessment also recommends constructing the house on piles since 3X the underlying rock cannot be excavated, and also because of the potential for rock and landslide debris falling from the upper slope onto the bench. The site plan shows the home constructed on the bench and supported by piles. The wall of the home is shown 30 feet and the decks 23 feet from the ordinary high watermark. Access from the parking lot is provided via a stair and bridge system that enters the house on the upper floor. 8. The previous SMP required a minimum, 30 foot wide setback from the ordinary high watermark. However, the recently adopted SMP requires a structural setback of 150 feet together with a ten foot wide building setback. Thus, the applicants' parcel is rendered unbuildable by the buffer and setback. However, the new SMP makes provision for nonconforming lots such as the applicants' to allow construction of a single-family dwelling within the required setback standards. Section 18.25.270(5) JCC sets forth exceptions to critical area and shoreline buffer standards. However, the applicants' parcel cannot meet all of the criteria for an exemption as the lot is subject to geologic hazards. The location of the home likewise does not qualify for a "common line buffer" exception as residences do not exist on both sides of the parcel, and therefore averaging is not possible. The applicants must therefore obtain a shoreline variance in order to construct their house on the lot as proposed. 9. Prior to obtaining a variance the applicants must show that the request satisfies the criteria set forth in JCC 18.25.580. Furthermore, prior to obtaining a shoreline substantial development permit exception the applicants must show that the request satisfies the criteria set forth in JCC 18.25.560(8). The Examiner finds that the request satisfies all criteria set forth in the JCC as discussed in staff's Findings on pages 5-12 of the Staff Report (Log Item 10). The Examiner hereby adopts staff's findings on each criteria as set forth therein by this reference as if set forth in full. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction to consider and decide the issues presented by this request. 2. The applicants have shown that the request for a shoreline variance and shoreline substantial development permit exemption to allow construction of a single-family residential dwelling meets all criteria set forth in the JCC and SMP and therefore should be granted subject to the following conditions: 1. A building permit shall be required to construct the Single Family Residence. 2. The applicant shall comply with the recommendations outlined in the Geotechnical Hazard Assessment prepared by Northwestern Territories, Inc., dated May 2015. 4X 3. Prior to issuance of the Jefferson County Building Permit, the applicant will be required to submit a small parcel Drainage and Erosion Control Plan as required by the Jefferson County Code. Once the subject permit has been issued, the applicant shall fully implement the provisions of the submitted Drainage and Erosion Control Plan. 4. The applicant shall submit a Habitat Management Plan as outlined in JCC 18.22.440 at time of building permit application. 5. Construction shall substantially comply with the site plans (log item 5) submitted to Jefferson County for the subject case MLA15-00030 as they exist now or are hereafter amended by Jefferson County and/or the Washington State Department of Ecology. 6. Work within the jurisdiction of the Shoreline Program other than as described in this report or depicted on the site plan (log item 5) above shall receive separate review from this office. 7. Final Approval of this Shoreline Variance is made by the Department of Ecology. 8. Construction shall be commenced or, where no construction is involved, the use or activity shall be commenced within two years of the effective date of the permit or permit exemption; provided, that the administrator may authorize a single extension based on reasonable factors, if a request for extension has been filed before the expiration date and notice of the proposed extension is given to parties of record and the Department of Ecology. 9. Authorization to conduct development activities shall terminate five years after the effective date of a permit or permit exemption; provided, that the shoreline administrator may authorize a single extension for a period not to exceed one year based on reasonable factors, if a request for extension has been filed before the expiration date and notice of the proposed extension is given to parties of record and the Department of Ecology. 5X DECISION: The request for a shoreline variance and shoreline substantial development permit exemption to allow construction of a single-family residential dwelling on a site located at 311873 Highway 101, Brinnon, is hereby granted subject to the conditions contained in the conclusions above.

It is approximately 140' from the property line at the Highway to the Ordinary High Water Mark of Hood Canal. It cannot meet the required 150' setback from OHWM as required under current regulations. The site is steep, with a parking area located just off the highway and approximately 8' below the road. The parking area is approximately 25' deep and extends to the edge of a steep slope. The slope drops 35' to a more or less level area which extends the full width of the lot about 15' above the water. This is the only area on the site feasible for construction. The building area dimension is about 50' from the water to the toe of the steep slope. The proposed house is 36' wide by 24' deep with a 10' deck on the water side. This means that in order to meet a 30' setback from the water the house would have to be dug into the hillside. The hillside is mostly solid basalt rock, as is the surface of the building area and would require blasting, drilling and other measures along the toe of the hill to maintain the setback. It is proposed that in order to avoid compromising the integrity of the existing slope, and the cost of retaining the slope if altered, that the house be located closer to the water on pilings pinned to the rock base, allowing the existing slope and surface to remain undisturbed and allowing the normal runoff to flow beneath the house. (b) The sole reason for this request is the natural features of the property. The lot size does not allow for the required setback from the water of 150' LOG ITEM as it is only about 140' deep. In addition, the steep slope on the westerly portion of the lot prevents building near the highway and provides a limited buildable area near the water. While it may be possible to locate the house at 30' from ordinary high water mark, to do so would create an unreasonable expense as well as compromise the stability of the slope due to the need to drill and blast the rock at the toe of the slope. (c) The home is a modest size, (2,010 sq. ft.) and is a traditional design. It will have no adverse affect on the neighbors to the south as it will be well behind their line of sight to the water even facing to the north. There is no home on the property to the north and any development there would be unaffected by this project. Further, there are no homes on the west side of the highway, and the roof of the proposed home would be well below the level of the highway. From the shoreline the adjusted setback will have no effect as it will be well westward of the high water mark. (d) Authorization of this variance does not constitute a special privilege for this property. It is rather an environmental accommodation designed to preserve the integrity of the existing slope and storm water runoff. There is no advantage to the property owner in locating closer to the water other than the reasons cited. (e) The public interest will be unaffected by this variance. It will not be visible to the public, nor will it hinder any use of the waterway, roadway or adjacent properties. (f) Since all activity remains westward of the high water line there is no adverse affect to navigation rights or use of the shoreline. (g) There are no adverse impacts associated with the development or use of this project 'Jc`- JUN - 2 2015 lEf EgsU cOUNTY� pr_p T 0!%QMMUN IVDEVELOPMENT LOG ITEM page f..2 . kw ON °0 JEFFERSON COUNTY iA� DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 621 Sheridan Street • Port Townsend •Washington 98368 "9S ,s0$ 360/379-4450 . 360/379-4451 Fax �FING http://www.co.jefferson.wa.us/commdevelopment/ Stormwater Calculation Worksheet MLA# PROJECT/APPLICANT NAME: .J A.We s 301..cAn( RQ 81 KJ Svnl DETERMINING STORM WATER MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS: This stormwater calculation worksheet should be completed first to classify the proposal as"small,""medium,"or"large."

Jefferson County Parcel# 932102901 Dear Mr.Talbot and Others Concerned, 1.0 Background and Scope of Work NTI Engineering and Land Surveying (NTI) was requested by Mr. Tim Talbot, Builder, to complete a reconnaissance geologic hazard and site evaluation for a proposed single family residence to be developed at the subject parcel. The property is Jefferson County parcel number 932102901. The waterfront parcel is owned by James and Susan Robinson and it is located within the NE Quarter of Section 29, Township 25 N, Range 2 West, W.M. within Jefferson County, Washington. The undersigned NTI Geotechnical Engineers reviewed the site on two occasions, most recently in April of 2015, to develop the recommendations below. This reconnaissance study was completed to assess the geologic hazards and to provide recommendations for positioning a house on the narrow waterfront site. A proposed single- family residential development site lies at the toe of a rocky slope along the shoreline of Hood Canal at McDonald Cove. The proponent plans to construct a single family residence on the site on a shelf of rock about 10 to 15 feet above the normal high water of Hood Canal. Although the footprint area of the proposed house site is stable and on dense rock, the slopes and road fills above the site have the potential for landslides and rock falls. The slopes above have been mapped as a "Landslide Hazard" byJefferson County. Recommendations for the foundation and substructure of the house, its position, and necessary clearances are provided herein. 2.0 The Geologic and Topographic Setting, The site is everywhere underlain by the 40 million year-old Crescent Basalt Formation. The black basalt rock outcrops along the shoreline in smooth lobes. The fresh, hard rock of that 1 LOG ITEM page Sp Z of LL Geologic Hazard Assessment 1 2015 part of this regional formation is resistant to weathering and high in compressive strength. The exposures along the beach show some jointing, but most of the material is massive and without fissures or extensive internal fracturing.

JJIr illital Photograph 1—View Looking West Showing the Crescent Basalt Formation Below the Site A steep mountain of Crescent basalt rises above the site on the north side of Highway 101. The area above has been unstable at times and slide debris from above has arrived at the site from above in the distant past. Today, Highway 101 provides some protection from translational slides and protection from many of the rock falls originating above the site. The upper part of the site has an old embanked driveway with a sub-base of boulders and the shoulder of highway 101 also includes some loose boulders. Three to four-foot hanging deposits of reworked glacial silty gravel and other historic slide debris are on the slope directly above the proposed building site. The potential instability of these materials, especially in an earthquake or after prolonged rainfall, is the most important geologic hazard at this site. 2 LOG ITEM Page ofIL. Geologic Hazard Assessment 2015 3.0 The House Site and Substructure Design 3.1 The Best East-West Position For A House Within the Lot The steepest portion of the site lies at the west end of the parcel, directly below the driveway and approach to Highway 101. On the east, however, the lot gets wider, less steep, with fewer possible rock-falls, and with less loose slide material above. Photograph 2, below, shows a section view of the proposed home site location. . - t f '1'';* .M •� 1 "" r y ,R f,. Li*, , �T , S_ ? r .m.,ats -y . - • .. ♦ BLS` _. t _ st,+ ' Photograph 2—Section View of the Proposed Home Site, Looking East After some study of the site and the potential landslide and rock-fall material above the bench, it was seen that the best position for the proposed house is as far east as is possible within the wider westerly section of the lot. The possible extent of the house was tentatively marked in the field by rock cairns at each end of a 20-foot setback line from the rim of the southerly slope of the lot above the beach. In selecting the final position and size of the house, consideration 3 LOG ITEM t" 'a of [ I Geologic Hazard Assessment 1 2015 must be given to required side setbacks from the nearby property lines which were not marked at the time of our reviews. 3.2 Shoreline Setback Due to the occurrence of the massive rock beneath the area, the site substrate has excellent stability. A minimum-width, 15-foot steep slope geologic hazard buffer and the required five foot setback from the buffer to the building line were used to set the position of the southerly foundation wall. These criteria place the foundation of the new house 20 feet back from the break in grade at the rim of the parcel above the rocky shoreline below. The 20-foot total setback is illustrated in the sketch of the parcel attached as Figure 1, which is roughly to scale. 3.3 Dimensional and Clearance Requirements The practical solution to the rock-fall and landslide debris hazard at this site is to construct the foundation substructure so that slide debris and rolling rocks will pass beneath the house without substantially affecting the structure or its occupants. The schematic drawing in Figure 1 shows how this may be accomplished using a braced pier-type foundation. At the time of the geotechnical review, the final configuration and width of the house was yet to be determined. Thus, rather than accurately position the proposed house with suitable clearances, a schedule of required clearances is recommended herein so that houses of different widths and lengths may be reviewed and tested for cost, constructability and appearance. Wide houses must necessarily be higher up to achieve the needed clearances on the upslope side. The house sketched in Figure 1 is 24 feet in width as requested by the Builder. A house of limited width will be lower in cost, easier to construct, closer to the ground, more attractive, and in general, better suited to the narrow site. In our opinion, the following clearances (clear openings) beneath or beyond the house will provide sufficient safety for the subject house, provided that the substructure is designed to withstand the boulder impacts and lateral landslide loads described below. REQUIRED CLEARANCES IN FEET AND THE DRAWING MARK OF THE DIMENSION Vertical Clearance Beneath Building At The Upslope Building Line - 7.0 feet Al Vertical Clearance at the Centerline of the Building - 6.5 feet A2 Horizontal Clearance, Slope to the Building Line at Floor Level - 11.0 feet B The final design should be checked for these clearances prior to construction by a careful topographic survey of the site and sectional drawings showing the house's position and clearances or by the construction of numerous tall batter-boards and preliminary field layout with high string lines. 4 LOGS EM ° L . Geologic Hazard Assessment 1 2015 3.4 Substructure Must Be Stout The sub-structure itself must be very strong and resilient, especially in the transverse direction, so that it can withstand the impact of slide debris and rolling boulders without compromising the superstructure. Thus, the substructure must be designed by a licensed Structural Engineer in collaboration with the undersigned Geotechnical Engineers. Galvanized steel or Corten pipe columns or heavily reinforced circular concrete columns with good diameters may be selected for the piers. A stiffening system using diagonal braces and/or reinforced concrete shear walls in the transverse direction, as suggested by the Builder, may be selected for the substructure by the Structural Engineer. The following loads arising from slide activity should be resisted without undue pier or column deflection that would significantly damage the house or endanger the occupants. These loads should be simultaneous with short duration seismic lateral loads acting on the substructure arising from the mass of the house itself. 4.0 Geotechnical Engineer's Preliminary Structural Loading Criteria • Boulder impact of 12 kips with a 0.5 second duration, 5.5 feet above the ground at the outboard upslope piers, one outboard pier at a time in the downslope (transverse) direction. Simultaneous with: • Mud and loose slide debris leading to a continuous load of 0.8 kips per projected square foot per foot of depth for 4.5 feet of depth acting on all the piers of any two adjoining bents of piers at the same time; forces act in the downslope (transverse) direction. Longitudinal substructure stiffness and strength suggested by the situation should be provided by the Structural Engineer after discussion with the undersigned Geotechnical Engineer. Consideration should be given to increased capacity of the upslope exterior walls nearest the ground to resist lateral impacts of rolling and air-born boulders. 4.1 Loose Boulders to be Secured or Removed Several loose boulders were visible and noted in the area above the proposed house site below Highway 101. The visible and loose boulders must be secured in place by partial burial in the old road. Alternatively, loose boulders may be removed prior to the occupancy of the proposed house. Work should include shallow excavation to find rocks that are obscured under brush and thin layers of soil that could shake loose in an earthquake. 5 LOG ITEM Page (o of ` 1 . Geologic Hazard Assessment 1 2015 5.0 Existing Drainage Conditions and Stormwater Runoff Recommendations The natural drainage path at the site is currently un-concentrated sheet flow to the south towards the beach below. Due to the fact that the underlying rock is impervious, infiltration of stormwater runoff at the site is not feasible. Splash blocks are not recommended for stormwater control at this site because they direct runoff in a concentrated manner,which could potentially lead to erosion of the surface soils and vegetation along the rim of the southerly slope. Instead, we recommend the use of a High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)fuse- welded drainage pipe leading to the Hood Canal to the south. The outfall of the drainage pipe should be located over the dense basalt rock at the beach and landward of the ordinary high water mark. 6.0 The Limitations of our Investigation, Findings, and Recommendations This reconnaissance study was completed without the use of deep subsurface borings and without observations and measurements over long periods of time. The observations and conclusions were derived principally from surface observations and inferences from surface observations. Undiscovered and unseen conditions in the subsurface could exist that would affect the observations and conclusions of this report. Users who require a higher degree of reliance on this assessment may wish to obtain more detailed studies. The observations and conclusions of this report apply only to the subject property and they are not transferable to nearby or adjoining property. This report is the sole property of the Robinsons and may be used by others only with their permission. The slide debris loads and rolling boulder impact loads provided in this report are preliminary and must be confirmed by discussion and collaboration with the project Structural Engineer prior to final design and prior to approval for construction by the Geotechnical Engineer. 6 LOG ITEM # (Q Page %. of �..[ ` Cv o >v ui 114 i . 0 0 A d s 1 d c o!

Jefferson County Parcel # 932102901 I Dear Mr. Talbot and Others Concerned, I1.0 Background and Scope of Work ' NTI Engineering and Land Surveying (NTI) was requested by Mr. Tim Talbot, Builder, to complete a reconnaissance geologic hazard and site evaluation for a proposed single family I residence to be developed at the subject parcel. The property is Jefferson County parcel number 932102901. The waterfront parcel is owned by James and Susan Robinson and it is located within the NE Quarter of Section 29, Township 25 N, Range 2 West, W.M. within I Jefferson County, Washington. The undersigned NTI Geotechnical Engineers reviewed the site on two occasions, most recently in April of 2015, to develop the recommendations below. ' This reconnaissance study was completed to assess the geologic hazards and to provide recommendations for positioning a house on the narrow waterfront site. A proposed single- family residential development site lies at the toe of a rocky slope along the shoreline of Hood ' Canal at McDonald Cove. The proponent plans to construct a single family residence on the site on a shelf of rock about 10 to 15 feet above the normal high water of Hood Canal. Although the I footprint area of the proposed house site is stable and on dense rock, the slopes and road fills above the site have the potential for landslides and rock falls. The slopes above have been mapped as a "Landslide Hazard" by Jefferson County. 1 Recommendations for the foundation and substructure of the house, its position, and necessary clearances are provided herein. I I2.0 The Geologic and Topographic Setting The site is everywhere underlain by the 40 million year-old Crescent Basalt Formation. The ' black basalt rock outcrops along the shoreline in smooth lobes. The fresh, hard rock of that 1 I Geologic Hazard Assessment 1 2015 I I part of this regional formation is resistant to weathering and high in compressive strength. The exposures along the beach show some jointing, but most of the material is massive and without fissures or extensive internal fracturing.

I / w, , J/f J IPhotograph 1—View Looking West Showing the Crescent Basalt Formation Below the Site I A steep mountain of Crescent basalt rises above the site on the north side of Highway 101. The area above has been unstable at times and slide debris from above has arrived at the site from above in the distant past. Today, Highway 101 provides some protection from translational Islides and protection from many of the rock falls originating above the site. The upper part of the site has an old embanked driveway with a sub-base of boulders and the Ishoulder of highway 101 also includes some loose boulders. Three to four-foot hanging deposits of reworked glacial silty gravel and other historic slide debris are on the slope directly ' above the proposed building site. The potential instability of these materials, especially in an earthquake or after prolonged rainfall, is the most important geologic hazard at this site. 2 I Geologic Hazard Assessment 12015 I ' 3.0 The House Site and Substructure Design 3.1 The Best East-West Position For A House Within the Lot The steepest portion of the site lies at the west end of the parcel, directly below the driveway and approach to Highway 101. On the east, however, the lot gets wider, less steep, with fewer ' possible rock-falls, and with less loose slide material above. Photograph 2, below, shows a section view of the proposed home site location.

U++ ' - ropy s• u_ IPhotograph 2—Section View of the Proposed Home Site, Looking East I After some study of the site and the potential landslide and rock-fall material above the bench, it was seen that the best position for the proposed house is as far east as is possible within the wider westerly section of the lot. The possible extent of the house was tentatively marked in I the field by rock cairns at each end of a 20-foot setback line from the rim of the southerly slope of the lot above the beach. In selecting the final position and size of the house, consideration I 3 I Geologic Hazard Assessment 12015 I I must be given to required side setbacks from the nearby property lines which were not marked at the time of our reviews. ' 3.2 Shoreline Setback Due to the occurrence of the massive rock beneath the area, the site substrate has excellent I stability. A minimum-width, 15-foot steep slope geologic hazard buffer and the required five foot setback from the buffer to the building line were used to set the position of the southerly foundation wall. These criteria place the foundation of the new house 20 feet back from the break in grade at the rim of the parcel above the rocky shoreline below. The 20-foot total setback is illustrated in the sketch of the parcel attached as Figure 1, which is roughly to scale. ' 3.3 Dimensional and Clearance Requirements I The practical solution to the rock-fall and landslide debris hazard at this site is to construct the foundation substructure so that slide debris and rolling rocks will pass beneath the house without substantially affecting the structure or its occupants. The schematic drawing in Figure I 1 shows how this may be accomplished using a braced pier-type foundation. At the time of the geotechnical review, the final configuration and width of the house was yet to be determined. Thus, rather than accurately position the proposed house with suitable clearances, a schedule ' of required clearances is recommended herein so that houses of different widths and lengths may be reviewed and tested for cost, constructability and appearance. Wide houses must I necessarily be higher up to achieve the needed clearances on the upslope side. The house sketched in Figure 1 is 24 feet in width as requested by the Builder. A house of limited width will be lower in cost, easier to construct, closer to the ground, more attractive, and in general, ' better suited to the narrow site. In our opinion, the following clearances (clear openings) beneath or beyond the house will I provide sufficient safety for the subject house, provided that the substructure is designed to withstand the boulder impacts and lateral landslide loads described below. IREQUIRED CLEARANCES IN FEET AND THE DRAWING MARK OF THE DIMENSION Vertical Clearance Beneath Building At The Upslope Building Line - 7.0 feet Al IVertical Clearance at the Centerline of the Building - 6.5 feet A2 Horizontal Clearance, Slope to the Building Line at Floor Level - 11.0 feet B IThe final design should be checked for these clearances prior to construction by a careful topographic survey of the site and sectional drawings showing the house's position and I clearances or by the construction of numerous tall batter-boards and preliminary field layout with high string lines. I 4 I I Geologic Hazard Assessment 1 2015 I 3.4 Substructure Must Be Stout The sub-structure itself must be very strong and resilient, especially in the transverse direction, so that it can withstand the impact of slide debris and rolling boulders without compromising the superstructure. Thus, the substructure must be designed by a licensed Structural Engineer in collaboration with the undersigned Geotechnical Engineers. ' Galvanized steel or Corten pipe columns or heavily reinforced circular concrete columns with good diameters may be selected for the piers. A stiffening system using diagonal braces and/or reinforced concrete shear walls in the transverse direction, as suggested by the Builder, may be selected for the substructure by the Structural Engineer. The following loads arising from slide activity should be resisted without undue pier or column deflection that would significantly damage the house or endanger the occupants. These loads ' should be simultaneous with short duration seismic lateral loads acting on the substructure arising from the mass of the house itself. 4.0 Geotechnical Engineer's Preliminary Structural Loading Criteria • Boulder impact of 12 kips with a 0.5 second duration, 5.5 feet above the ground at the outboard upslope piers, one outboard pier at a time in the downslope (transverse) direction. Simultaneous with: • Mud and loose slide debris leading to a continuous load of 0.8 kips per projected square foot per foot of depth for 4.5 feet of depth acting on all the piers of any two adjoining ' bents of piers at the same time; forces act in the downslope (transverse) direction. Longitudinal substructure stiffness and strength suggested by the situation should be provided by the Structural Engineer after discussion with the undersigned Geotechnical Engineer. Consideration should be given to increased capacity of the upslope exterior walls nearest the ' ground to resist lateral impacts of rolling and air-born boulders. 4.1 Loose Boulders to be Secured or Removed • Several loose boulders were visible and noted in the area above the proposed house site below Highway 101. The visible and loose boulders must be secured in place by partial burial in the ' old road. Alternatively, loose boulders may be removed prior to the occupancy of the proposed house. Work should include shallow excavation to find rocks that are obscured under brush and thin layers of soil that could shake loose in an earthquake. 5 Geologic Hazard Assessment 1 2015 ' 5.0 Existing Drainage Conditions and Stormwater Runoff Recommendations The natural drainage path at the site is currently un-concentrated sheet flow to the south towards the beach below. Due to the fact that the underlying rock is impervious, infiltration of stormwater runoff at the site is not feasible. Splash blocks are not recommended for stormwater control at this site because they direct runoff in a concentrated manner, which could potentially lead to erosion of the surface soils and vegetation along the rim of the southerly slope. Instead, we recommend the use of a High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) fuse- welded drainage pipe leading to the Hood Canal to the south. The outfall of the drainage pipe should be located over the dense basalt rock at the beach and landward of the ordinary high water mark. 1 6.0 The Limitations of our Investigation, Findings, and Recommendations ' This reconnaissance study was completed without the use of deep subsurface borings and without observations and measurements over long periods of time. The observations and ' conclusions were derived principally from surface observations and inferences from surface observations. Undiscovered and unseen conditions in the subsurface could exist that would affect the observations and conclusions of this report. Users who require a higher degree of reliance on this assessment may wish to obtain more detailed studies. ' The observations and conclusions of this report apply only to the subject property and they are not transferable to nearby or adjoining property. This report is the sole property of the Robinsons and may be used by others only with their permission. The slide debris loads and rolling boulder impact loads provided in this report are preliminary and must be confirmed by discussion and collaboration with the project Structural Engineer prior to final design and prior to approval for construction by the Geotechnical Engineer. 1 6 I Geologic Hazard Assessment 12015 I I The Geotechnical Engineer is able to provide additional strength and capacity information on the basalt rock substrate of the site and suggestions for the anchorage design as needed by the Structural Engineer. We look forward to close collaboration with the Structural Engineer and IBuilder to produce an economic, yet safe, substructure for the proposed house. We appreciated the opportunity to prepare this information for you. INTI Engineering and Land Surveying ISincerely yours, Ii� oF ylM O 4, 5/z 23767,- .OVAL ,--N../ Steve S. Luxton MSc, PE Trent T.
