RE: 246 4th Avenue, Port Hadlock Geotech Waiver Request — Approval
Recommendation
Mr. and Mrs. Dickey applied for a geotech waiver during the course of a building permit
application. They plan to construct a new detached garage on a parcel with an existing single-
family residence. Their property has a small area mapped as an unstable shoreline slope. I have
reviewed the waiver request submitted by the Dickey'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 1.8% and the building area has
a slope of 0.28%. Based on our available data, the Dickey'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.
