Home My WebLink AboutGeotech Waiver 001342008TO: Linda Paralez, UDC Administrator FROM: S13anncrt Cartmel, Assistant Planner DATE: 12/02/2019 RE: 101 Creek View Lane, Port Townsend Geotech Waiver Request — Approval Recommendation Mr. and Mrs. Nighswonger applied for a geotech waiver during the course of a septic system permit application. Their property has a small area mapped as an unstable shoreline slope. I have reviewed the waiver request submitted by the Nighswonger's, available map and data, and completed the attached geohazard checklist. They will implement applicable best management practices during construction. The slope located in the building area is relatively flat with a slow loss of grade moving towards the south. The entire parcel has a slope of 1.36% and the septic system is located away from the area with the higher slope of 8.5%. Based on our available data, the Nighswonger's site, proposed development, and analysis from the geohazard checklist I find that the standards for a geotechnical report waiver, under Jefferson County Code 18.22.370, have been satisfied.
