ORDINANCE NO. 07-0825-03
WHEREAS, the Port Ludlow Drainage District was established by the voters of the proposed
drainage district in the year 2000 and the assessment method for the District was established by adoption of
Ordinance No. 04-0815-01 in August of2001; and,
WHEREAS, the Commissioners of the Port Ludlow Drainage District submitted a letter to the
Board of County Commissioners dated June 28, 2003 asking that the County Commissioners review and revise
the assessment methodology for the Drainage District which requires that a public hearing be held; and,
WHEREAS, the public hearing was properly advertised, the District property owners were
individually notified by mail and the hearing held on August 18, 2003 at 7 :00 p.m. at the Port Ludlow Beach
Club, 121 Marina View Drive in Port Ludlow, Washington; and,
WHEREAS, through the development of the Comprehensive Management Plan for the Drainage
District it was found by the Drainage District Commissioners that the amount of reduction for the gross area
assessment for the five acre parcels varies based on topography, and capital improvements required are general
in nature and do not provide a greater benefit to developed lots than to undeveloped lots.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED, by the Board of County Commissioners of Jefferson
County, Washington, that Appendix 1. Assessment System of Ordinance No. 04-0815-01 is hereby amended as

Port Ludlow Drainage District Assessment System Ordinance No. 07-0825-03
Appendix 1: Assessment System Calculation Method
As provided for in Chapter 85.38 Revised Code of Washington, the Port Ludlow Drainage District
Assessment System is designed to generate $1,000 in revenue for the District. The Assessment System
determines the amount that each parcel within the District will be assessed per $1,000 of District revenue.
The District Commissioners will determine the total annual District assessment and the total amount
assessed on each individual parcel through the adoption of the annual District budget. If, as an example,
the District budget were set at $70,000, the actual assessment on any parcel would be the amount assigned
in the Assessment System multiplied by 70.
The Assessment System is based on a combination of two assessments. The first is an assessment on the
parcel's acreage in proportion to the total acreage within the District. The second is an assessment on the
parcel's impervious surface area in proportion to the total impervious surface area within the District. The
proposed assessment would have 35 percent of the total assessment based on gross area acreage and 65
percent of the total assessment based on impervious area.
35% of the assessment, or $350.00 of the $1,000, is assigned to the land area within the District. The
gross area acreage system of assessments for the District shall consist of a five-zone classification system
(Zone 0, Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3, and Zone 4). Zone 0 are the areas permanently held in reserve or
greenbelt areas that cannot be developed. Zone 1 are areas that can be developed, other than those in the
succeeding zones, and comprise the majority of the District. Zone 2 are parcels in Port Ludlow No.6
five-acre residential lots that completely drain into the District. Zone 3 are parcels in Port Ludlow No.6
that partially drain into the District. Zone 4 are parcels in Port Ludlow No.6 that completely drain out of
the District. Zone 0 will pay 5 percent of the standard gross acreage assessment. Zone 1 will pay 100
percent of the standard gross acreage assessment. Zone 2 will pay 15 percent of the gross acreage
assessment. Zone 3 will pay 10 percent of the gross area assessment. Zone 4 will pay 5 percent of the
gross area assessment.
Based upon areas in Zone 0 of 120.6 acres, Zone 1 of 434.7 acres, Zone 2 of 38.1 acres, Zone 3 of 19.9
acres, and Zone 4 of 10.0 acres, the associated dollar value of benefits for a $1000 hypothetical
assessment is:
Zone 0 = $0.039198 per acre
Zone 1 = $0.783965 per acre
Zone 2 = $0.117595 per acre
Zone 3 = $0.078396 per acre
Zone 4 = $0.039198 per acre
In addition, parcels in each zone, except Zone 4, will be assessed for impervious area based on Equivalent
Residential Units (ERU). An Equivalent Residential Unit is defined as a single-family residence or 3,000
square feet of impervious surface. Multi-family residences are assigned 0.75 ERU. Parcels in Zone 4 will
not pay an impervious area assessment.
Ordinance No. 07-0825-03
Appendix 1: Assessment System
65% of the assessment, or $650.00 of the $1,000, is assigned to the impervious surface area of the
District. There are approximately 70 acres of impervious surface in the District. Based on a random
sample of residences, a single family residence is assumed to have 3,000 square feet of impervious
surface. 3,000 square feet of impervious surface is an Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) of impervious
surface. A multi family residence is assigned 0.75 ERUs. Based upon a total of 986.1 ERUs within the
District, the associated dollar value of benefits for a $1000 hypothetical assessment is:
Improvement assessment == $0.659190 per ERU
The rates shown in this appendix have been rounded. The assessment database uses the actual
data entered into the database, not the rounded rates shown in this example.
Parcel Assessment Formula per $1,000 of District Revenue
A parcel's assessment per $1,000 of District revenue is based on the parcel's area and the area of
impervious surface measured in Equivalent Residential Units.
Parcel Assessment = (area rate x parcel area) + (ERU rate x ERUs on the parcel)
