The following information is needed by May 5, 2019 to constitute a complete application: We have reviewed the application for a stand-alone stormwater permit for site preparation of a future mini -storage facility. On 1/24/2019 we had determined the application to be incomplete. Please refer to email from Joel Peterson, DCD Planner to Brad Hoover, Representative, and Zachary Slota and Stephen Hanes of NTI. As discussed, the application triggers a SEPA review both from amount of earth moving activity as well as total square footage of commercial floor space. The proposal requires a pre -application conference before proceeding, which you have submitted and we are in the process of scheduling. Pursuant to JCC18.40.110(3)(b), if an applicant does not submit additional information, does not request additional time to submit the required information within the ninety (90) calendar day period, or does not appeal the decision, the application will be considered abandoned and therefore withdrawn and the applicant shall forfeit the application fee. The Department of Community Development shall not be responsible for notifying the applicant of an impending expiration, Please advise the Department of Community Development in writing of your intentions. Sincerely, Joel Peterson Department of Community Development Staff c' � I ADLEY HOOVER \\tidemark\data\forms\F_MLT_IncApp_Req Info. rpt 2/4/2019 Joel Peterson From: Joel Peterson Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2019 11:34 AM To: 'stephen@nti4u.com' Cc: 'Zachary Slota'; 'Bradley Hoover' Subject: RE: Mini -Storage Permit Application ZON19-00001 Attachments: pre-app conference form pdf.pdf Stephen and Brad, Okay, as I review the application submittal, I see a couple of things going on that we need to address—SEPA and a Pre - Application Conference. First, the proposal has two triggering conditions for SEPA: 1) Any landfill or excavation over 500 cubic yards, 2) Construction of commercial buildings comprising over 12,000 square feet gross floor area. Note: If you refer to the state regulations at WAC 197-11-800, you notice Jefferson County takes advantage of the flexible SEPA thresholds and raised the State's 100 cu. yd. threshold to 500 cu. yds. For the County. Second, our development code specifies that "Pre -Application Conferences are required for all Type 11, Type lll, Type IV and Type V project applications and Type I project applications proposing impervious surfaces of 10,000 square feet or more and/or non -single-family structures of 5,O00 square feet or more" (JCC 18.40,090). it appears the application was received as a stand-alone stormwater project without a full account the values in the Stormwater Calculation Worksheet. The Pre -Application Conference will be the venue where we can discuss the entire project, and a couple of possible site plan modifications that we need to address in the current proposal. The Pre-App shouldn't slow things down, and in fact will probably streamline the entire project by catching issues up- front. Our recommended path forward: 1) I've attached a Pre -Application Conference application form for your submittal. You won't need an appointment to submit the Pre-App to DCD—we can take it over-the-counter. There are options for meeting in the office or meeting on -site. Your choice; we can do either. When the application and payment is received, I will work with you within 14 days to schedule the meeting with all participants. It may include DCD, Environmental Health, Public Works, and our Fire Code consultant. 2) The fees can be found at our website https:Ilwww.co.iefferson.wa.usl541(Fees and will entail the following: a. DCD Pre-App base fee is $494.00, with an additional $188.00 for an on -site consult. A 5% technology capital improvement surcharge is added to the total of Jefferson County permit fees. b. Environmental Health Pre-App base fee is $244. They may have additional fees for an on -site consult. c. Public Works fees are initially covered by the stormwater fees already paid. d. Fire Code Consultant fees are $94.00 per hour, with one or two hours typically billed. 3) In the Pre -Application Conference, we'll review the proposal, discuss site considerations and options, and provide a report of the development code provisions and process followed through construction. Please feel free to call or email me if you have any questions. I'll do everything I can to streamline the work. Thanks.

We may be able to modify the grading plan to bring the cut and fill volumes to a closer balance. Is the disparity the issue, or just the total volume of earthwork?

However, I have determined that there is at least one additional item required to make it a complete application. The Stormwater Calculation Worksheet identifies 19,830 cu/yds of cut, and 2,871 cu/yds of fill. This item alone requires the proponent to submit a SEPA Checklist and undergo a SEPA review. (State Environmental Policy Act —see Department of Ecology website to download a current Checklist. httys:llecology.wa.gov/Regulations-Permits/SEPA/Environmental- review/$EPA-document-templates. This may be something NTI can assist with.) We can discuss the details of submitting the SEPA Checklist and associated fees tomorrow. Also, be aware that you will need to also apply to the Department of Ecology for a Construction Stormwater General Permit, as the clearing/grading is over one acre in size. You can find more information at the Ecology web site htt s: ecolo .wa. ov Re ulations-Permits Permits -certifications Stormwater- eneral- ermits Construction- stormwater-permit. Obtaining this permit will be a condition listed on the County Permit, and will be required before setting up the Temporary Erosion & Sediment Controls and any earthwork. I'm beginning a timeline and steps through the process that we can share and follow as we go forward. I'd like to make a site visit with you soon. I look forward to working together on this project.

I am still in the process of reviewing the application for completeness. I also need to gain a better understanding of the work from this office with you before you submitted the materials. Mistakes during the site preparation activity is something that can get a project off to a bad start and cause delay. I don't want you to get out ahead of the permit requirements for site preparation. I need to finish review of the stormwater site protection plan and make sure we've addressed all issues, including any potential critical areas and buffers. I'll schedule myself to have my case review completed on Wednesday, January 23 in the afternoon. I will send an email to you then with an overall draft project schedule and any reminders that may be useful. Regarding the process for removing > 5000 b.f. of timber, I need to ask you some questions because I'm not familiar with the site yet. Is the harvest of merchantable timber? Is the area is already under a Forest Practice Permit? Has it been cut in the past? Will you be replanting and keeping any of the property in forest use? Reading your submittal closer, I may find that you're planning a Class IV Conversion harvest. To cut merchantable timber you will need a Forest Practice Permit from Department of Natural Resources. You may want to contact Ross Goodwin, DNR, who works in our area: Ross Goodwin Forest Practice Forester Olympic Region Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) 360-460-0900 ross.goodw!n@dnr.wa.gov The stormwater permit will need to be approved before you do the clearing.
