DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DIVISION, DCD – Joel Peterson 3. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT – Randy Marx, Susan Porto 4. PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT – John Fleming 5. FIRE/LIFE SAFETY – Tom Aumock Site Summary Description: The site consists of 8.7 acres, sloping 5-6% from NE to SW requiring grading to prepare the site for the self-storage facility. The vegetation includes interspersed woodlands. Applicant has consulted with Department of Natural Resources and may apply for a Forest Practices permit. The property is served by an individual well, is in the Future Quimper Service Area, but has no public water supply at this time. Electrical service from PUD #1 of Jefferson County is available at the site. Access: The property has two access points to State Route 20. Access is located at the north end of the property and an easement across the U-Haul property at the south end. Project proponent states that State Route 20 access for the project will be shared with the adjacent U-Haul business to the south and the access at the north end of the property will be decommissioned. This is consistent with the Peninsula Regional Transportation Planning Organization, WSDOT, and Jefferson County planning objectives to maintain the efficiency of traffic flow and to share access when feasible. The proposal will 2 be provided to WSDOT for their review. Details regarding the easement road to the storage facility may be reviewed by Public Works. Critical Areas: There are no mapped Critical Areas on the site. Cultural Resources: From Department of Archaeological and Historic Preservation (DAHP): “Information has been gathered on the historic or prehistoric resource, but has not been evaluated to be listed on the state or national registers.” Zoning & Allowed Uses The property is zoned “General Crossroads” (GC).
