Electrical service is provided by PUD #1 of Jefferson County. A. Transportation 1. Rights-of-way/Easements Unified Development Code Requirements Unified Development Code JCC 18.30.080(1)(h) requires subdivisions to provide access to the public road system at two locations, when feasible. A single access may be allowed provided that public safety is protected. Unified Development Code JCC 18.30.080(1)(i) states that access to subdivisions from collector and arterial roads should be restricted. Unified Development Code JCC 18.30.080(1)(l) requires dedication of a right-of-way 30 feet in width from the centerline of public roads, if such a right-of-way has not been previously dedicated. Unified Development Code JCC 18.30.080(1)(m) requires dedication of 60 feet wide private road easements, but allows a reduced width on recommendation from the Public Works Department. Unified Development Code JCC 18.30.080(1)(n) requires access easements from the public road system to be provided and depicted on the final plat. 2. Road Design and Construction Unified Development Code Requirements Unified Development Code JCC 18.30.020(5) requires all developments to be served by appropriate transportation facilities. Unified Development Code JCC 18.30.080(1)(a) requires roads serving developments to be designed and constructed to comply with the adopted standards of the Jefferson County Public Works Department, including the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets. Driveways to individual home sites can provide adequate turnarounds for fire and emergency service vehicles if the initial 30’ segment of the driveways intersecting with the access road is constructed with a 20’ width. The turnaround should be constructed with a minimum compacted thickness of 6” gravel base and 2” crushed rock. 3. Road Maintenance Agreement Unified Development Code Requirements Unified Development Code JCC 18.30.080(1)(p) requires that subdivisions establish an agreement for the continuing maintenance of private roads. B. Stormwater Management Unified Development Code Requirements Unified Development Code JCC 18.30.060 Grading and JCC 18.30.070 Stormwater Management Standards set standards for erosion control and stormwater management. The Code adopts the requirements of the Washington State Department of Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington. The standards are based on the area of impervious surface created and the area of land disturbing activity performed. 3. Road Approaches Jefferson County Code Requirements The Jefferson County Code JCC 12.05 requires a permit from the Public Works Department to construct an approach to a County Road. 4. Easements All easements of record shall be shown on the final plat with the Auditor's File Number (AFN) of the easement(s) also referenced on the final plat. 5. Fees Jefferson County Code, Appendix Fee Schedules, IV. Public Works sets Public Works’ Application Fees for development review activities including application and plan review, inspections, and final review. Application Fees are intended to reimburse Public Works for its typical expenses related to an application. If Public Works’ expenses exceed the Application Fee, Public Works will charge an Hourly Fee and bill the applicant. The current development review Hourly Fee is $89per hour. 6. Surety Unified Development Code Chapter 18.30.080(1)(s) authorizes the proponent to enter into a surety agreement with Public Works as an alternative to installation of required improvements prior to final plat approval. Surety shall not be accepted for development of water supply facilities, other than distribution facilities. Surety shall be for an amount equal to 200% of the cost required improvements. It shall not exceed a period of one year and must be in a form acceptable to the County Prosecutor. Acceptable forms of surety are available from Public Works. They include bonds, open account agreements, and irrevocable letters of credit. Surety must be accompanied by an estimate of the cost of improvements prepared by a licensed engineer. The estimate shall be reviewed by Public Works prior to accepting the surety. 18.30.060 Grading and excavation standards.// (1) General Regulations. (a) All grading and clearing activities shall be conducted so as to minimize potential adverse effects of these activities on forested lands, surface water quality and quantity, groundwater recharge, and fish and wildlife habitat, adjacent properties and downstream drainage channels. (b) Grading and excavation to construct ponds and reservoirs shall: (i) Meet all applicable setbacks specified in this code, except for stormwater detention facilities authorized by the county engineer; (ii) Maintain in-stream flows of natural drainage courses; and (iii) Protect adjacent property from damage. (2) Drainage and Erosion Control. All grading activities shall be accomplished as follows: (a) Design and maintain adequate buffers of undisturbed native vegetation to minimize off-site impacts of surface water runoff, erosion, and sedimentation. (b) Design and construct all graded surfaces that are to be revegetated so that the graded surfaces will hold topsoil and to minimize surface runoff, erosion, and sedimentation. (c) Selectively salvage the upper six to 12 inches of topsoil, stockpile it, and respread over all disturbed areas to be revegetated. Excess excavated material, if not retained on-site, must be disposed of at a permitted site approved by the administrator. (d) Any area cleared or graded and not covered with gravel or an impervious surface shall be seeded immediately on completion of the project. If erosion is probable, areas with exposed soil shall be protected by temporary means during and following construction until seeding is established. All disturbances should at least be revegetated with grasses and forbs; including shrubs and trees as appropriate in the revegetation effort. Use of plant species native to the county is encouraged. (e) Natural vegetation shall be retained to the maximum extent possible in construction and operation of any use. All development shall ensure that soil erosion and sedimentation of drainage ways will be controlled to prevent damage to adjoining property and downstream drainage channels and receiving waters. (f) Surface drainage shall not be directed to or discharged into county roads or ditches within county rights-of-way unless approved by the county engineer. (g) A drainage analysis shall be prepared if required by JCC 18.30.070. Drainage controls may be required to regulate volume, peak flow and velocities of runoff water and to control pollutants, erosion, and sedimentation if it is probable that damage could occur downstream to property or to water quality. Such controls may include landscaping or re-establishing native vegetation, ponds, catch basins, and other control structures. (h) For effective long-term weed control, it is suggested that the landowner coordinate with the county weed control board to eradicate nuisance species. (3) Best Management Practices (BMPs). BMPs from the currently adopted Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SMM) (see JCC 18.30.070) or as specified by the county engineer shall be employed in the control of erosion and sediment during construction, to permanently stabilize soil exposed during construction, and in the design and operation of stormwater and drainage control systems. (4) Critical Areas. All clearing and grading activities that will adversely affect critical areas shall be subject to the regulations of Chapter 18.22 JCC, and JCC 18.30.070, without limitation to thresholds found herein: (a) Critical Aquifer Recharge Areas. Standards governing development activities in these areas are found in Article III of Chapter 18.22 JCC. (b) Frequently Flooded Areas. Fills in flood hazard areas as identified on the FIRM (Flood Insurance Rate Maps) are not permitted unless the administrator finds that no reasonable alternative exists. (c) Geologically Hazardous Areas. Standards governing development activities in these areas are found in Article V of Chapter 18.22 JCC. (d) Fish and Wildlife Habitat Areas. Standards governing development activities in these areas are found in Article VI of Chapter 18.22 JCC. (e) Regulated Wetlands. Alteration (filling, excavating, or draining) of regulated wetlands shall be subject to the provisions of Article VII of Chapter 18.22 JCC. (5) Grading. (a) Project or building permits which involve grading of 500 or more cubic yards are subject to environmental review under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) (see Article X of Chapter 18.40 JCC) unless the grading is SEPA-exempt under WAC 197-11-800. (Note: this does not apply when grading is associated with a development or activity which is categorically exempt from SEPA review requirements. Most minor new construction, including construction of a single-family house and related outbuildings, is exempt from SEPA review; see WAC 197-11-800.) (b) All grading of 500 cubic yards or more shall be subject to a stormwater management permit, as specified in JCC 18.30.070(5), with the exception of: (i) Maintenance of gravel roads; (ii) A SEPA-exempt (cf.
