Hi David -
I recently received an email from Franco Bertucci with regard to a Lot Certification BLA application they
submitted to the County with regard to a part of the Serendipity Farm property. Franco and Arianne applied for
the BLA in order to segregate their homesite from the rest of the Serendipity Farm property owned by Chris
Llewellyn (Arianne's mom). The Land Trust is working with Chris to protect the remainder of the parcel and
larger Serendipity Farm property with a conservation easement funded by the State Farmland Preservation
Program and Jefferson County Conservation Futures Funds. I spoke with Michelle Farfan about this nearly a
year ago and she provided the information below that was the incentive for the application. The proposed
parcel boundary was determined with the Land Trust's input and Jefferson Land Trust paid for the survey that
accompanied the application. We hope to work with the County to move this forward, so as to preserve the
remainder of the farm within our grant contract timeframe. Please let me know if there's additional information
that we can provide in order to meet the County's needs.
Thanks - Sarah Spaeth

Hi Sarah:

This is a follow-up to your conversation with Austin after our meeting this aftemoon regarding land acquisitions
from private land owners. I explained to Austin how the county has been handling these requests and he asked
that I clarify with you as well.
DCD calls these acquisitions a "lot certification" through a boundary line adjustment process under JCC
18.35.040(4). A boundary line adjustment application is submitted with the Statement of Intent and legal
descriptions (the before and after legals described in metes and bounds) along with the survey and application
fees. If no residence exists on the parcel and the resulting parcel that the property owner retains is under 2.5
acres, then soil logs need to be submitted with the BLA application and Environmental Health would be
included in the review process by reviewing the soil logs to determine if adequate area is available for an on-site
septic system.
Have a great vacation!

What about the issue of whether the Land Trust is considered a public entity exempt from JCC 18.35?
Patty was going to talk to Stacie?

HiEmma -
Thanks for your time today on the Kodama Farm project. l'm sorry to hear that Michelle is unwell, and
that DCD is overloadedlThanks also forthe information on BLA updated codes. I haven't had a chance
to look yet, but hope that it might be useful for the resolution between the Land Trust and Mike Walch,
our neighbor on Snow Creek that claims an old fence-line as the property boundary between our
parcels. This is the one that crosses zoning districts between Ag 20 and RR1:5. Not sure who the
Klanaways are !
I'm glad that the Bertucci application came through. I'm not aware that this one crosses zoning
boundaries, as the parcel that is being segregated from the larger Serendipity Farm (AL 20) is also
currently zoned AL 20. Bertucci is Chris Llewellin's son-in-law, and they do not want their homesite to be
part of the conservation easement project that we are doing on the rest of the Serendipity Farm with
Chris. lt will however, create a new lot that is less than the AL 20 zoning. The good news is that will
result in us being able to preserve the rest of the farm with Chris'
I hope this helps clarify, and we will see if the BLA can help us avoid a GMA amendment!

Sara h,
l'm glad you asked me about the two projects by the Bertucci's and Klanaways. We received one
boundary line adjustment application from the Bertucci's, which crossed zoning districts. David Wayne
Johnson is the assigned planner. He and lwere perplexed if the Land Trust was actually involved and
why the proposal crossed zoning districts. Perhaps, you confused Bertucci with the Klanaway project in
Snow Creek. We do not have any submission fora lot certification under Bertuccior Klanaway. lf you
could provide David with a parcel #, he could confirm for sure.
lf there is a property line dispute in accordance with RCW 58.04.007, the affected land owners may
apply for a boundary line agreement. Please see the following link for our newly updated code to
access Article Vlll. Boundary Line Agreements. We have draft application forms for this process we can
get finalized for the project if heads in the BLAgreement direction.
Thank you kindly,
