5k. Is any part of the project area within a 100-year floodplain? [help]
Yes No Don’t know Although much of the property is outside of the FEMA flood zone, the
staircase will be located within 13 feet of sea-level, so it is considered within the FEMA flood zone AE.
5l. Briefly describe the vegetation and habitat conditions on the property. [help]
The upland habitat on site is primarily forested, with a mix of conifer and deciduous trees including Western Red
Cedar (Thuja plicata), Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), Western Hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla), Big Leaf
Maple (Acer macrophyllum), and Red Alder (Alnus rubra). The understory is a mixture of Salal (Gaultheria
shallon), Evergreen Huckleberry (Vaccinium ovatum), Red Huckleberry (Vaccinium parvifolium), Oceanspray
(Holodiscus discolor), Sword Fern (Polystichum munitum), Trailing Blackberry (Rubus ursinus), Oregon Grape
(Mahonia nervosa), and Salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis). Along the driveway there is some English Ivy (Hedera
helix) growing on several of the Douglas Fir (P. Menziesii) trees. The middle of the property, where a clearing is
located, has filled in with non-native grasses, Thimbleberry (Rubus parviflorus), Creeping Buttercup (Ranunculus
repens) and patches of encroaching invasive Himalayan Blackberry (Rubus americanus). The area of the
staircase has much of the same upland vegetation, but also includes some Licorice Fern (Polypodium
glycyrrhiza) growing on the hillside.
The beach is natural with a steep bluff-face. Substrate at the site is sand, cobble, and pebble throughout. Areas
of macroalgae included Ulva 2-80% cover, Fucus 20% cover, Saccharina latissima 2 blades (6% cover),
Mastocarpus 20% cover, Gracilaria 40-50% cover, Sarcodiotheca 2-80% cover. Eelgrass (Zostera marina) was
documented at the site landward of the proposed buoy location between -3 ft MLLW and -7 ft MLLW. The
eelgrass bed was dense in some areas; four quadrat samples were collected (with 3 replicates at each sampling
location) with an average density of 3 to 4.7 shoots per 0.25 m2. Laminariales kelp (Saccharina latissima) was
observed at one location at the site at low density (2 blades; 6% cover).
5m. Describe how the property is currently used. [help]
Waterward, where proposed buoy is located, is state owned aquatic land.
Landward the property is zoned as RR-5 - Rural Residential and is currently undeveloped raw land which has a
cleared area, well, and septic from previous owner(s). The Massmann’s intend to build a residential dwelling on
the property in the near future.
5n. Describe how the adjacent properties are currently used. [help]
The adjacent properties located to the east and west of the Massmann parcel are both residential in nature. To
the north is Oak Bay/Puget sound, and to the south is South Bay Way, a neighborhood access road.
JARPA Revision 2015.1 Page 5 of 17
5o. Describe the structures (above and below ground) on the property, including their purpose(s) and current
condition. [help]
No structures currently other than permitted well and septic installed by previous owner(s).
5p. Provide driving directions from the closest highway to the project location, and attach a map. [help]
From HW-19 N/Beaver Valley Rd., turn right onto Oak Bay Rd. After 5.5 miles, turn right onto Beach Rd. Turn

Part 6–Project Description
6a. Briefly summarize the overall project. You can provide more detail in 6b. [help]
The project includes the following three components:
1) construct new beach access stairs,
2) install one recreational mooring buoy, and
3) trim and remove several native trees within the critical area shoreline buffer.
(See section 6e for more details)
6b. Describe the purpose of the project and why you want or need to perform it. [help]
1) The proposed stairs to beach will allow access from the Massmann property down the steep bluff face/slope
to the beach. All construction will be located above the OHWM.
2) The mooring buoy will be used recreationally. The Massmanns do not own a vessel at this time.
3) The trees that have been selected for trimming and removal are currently blocking the view of the water.
These trees are densely crowded, so thinning them should improve the overall health of the remaining forest by
reducing competition and letting in more sunlight, especially considering that a native plant mitigation planting
plan has been prepared in the Biological Assessment report.

6e. Describe how you plan to construct each project element checked in 6d. Include specific construction
methods and equipment to be used. [help]
• Identify where each element will occur in relation to the nearest waterbody.
• Indicate which activities are within the 100-year floodplain.
1) Beach Access Stairs: The property owners plan to employ Brockman Builders for the staircase construction.
All work will be conducted from the upland side using hand tools. No machinery will ground on the beach. No
earthwork or grading will be necessary. The stairs will be constructed of galvanized steel. The design will
include:
• One 3’ x 6’ platform at top of stairs
• One 3’ x 4’ platform at bottom of stairs (above OHWM)
• Four 4” x 4” steel posts dug into ground and secured in place with concrete, holding up the top platform
• Four 4” x 4” steel posts dug into ground and secured in place with concrete, holding up the bottom
platform
• 18’ stringer set of stairs between top and bottom platforms
• Steel let-down stairs attached to bottom platform (above OHWM when not in use)
2) Mooring Buoy: It is proposed to install a buoy at a depth of approximately -15 ft MLLW, 140 ft
offshore from MHHW. The anchors are 8 ft in total length with lead and termination. The system includes
a Helix square shaft anchor (matched to vessel size and conditions) installed; the nylon pennant with a
midline float to reach the surface at extreme high water, 6 feet of 1/2-inch long link chain (at the top of
the nylon, running through the 18-inch hard shell buoy) connected to the nylon with a 3/4-inch Sampson
Nylite Assembly, a 3/4-inch swivel and a 3/4-inch shackle. A 5/8-inch forged retrieval pear ring at the
very top attached with a 1/2-inch shackle. All metal parts are American steel. The system is custom fitted
to the conditions of bottom slope, clearance, and tidal exchange.
3) Tree removal/thinning: Tree removal work will be completed by a qualified arborist outside of nesting season
(during the fall or winter months). Additional trimming and pruning of trees and vegetation will be minimal and
focused on improving trail access and the view of the water, keeping the health of the overall shoreline buffer in
mind.
The trees to be removed include1 mature Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) tree, 22 additional Douglas Fir
saplings, 1 Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata), approximately 30 Red Alder (Alnus rubra) saplings, and an
additional 10-20 young Douglas Fir (P. menziesii) trees which are 1-2 feet in height. These trees are proposed
for trimming or removal because they are either currently impeding the view of the water, or they will soon grow
tall enough to impede the view. In the case of the single mature Douglas Fir tree, it is proposed for removal
because it is located adjacent to the proposed beach access stairs, and creating a hazard due to its severe lean
near the pathway. The rest of the trees proposed for removal are young and growing in dense clusters and/or
growing close to larger mature trees. It is the opinion of MS&A that their removal will not negatively impact the
overall habitat, and if anything will aid in ensuring the longevity of the mature trees by allowing more space for
healthy disease-free growth of the mature trees and understory species. A mitigation planting plan has been
prepared for no net loss of ecological function, and species have been chosen to improve the habitat value for
wildlife. This mitigation planting plan is included in the Biological Assessment report and also compensates for
the impacts of the staircase construction.

For the Buoy installation, standard BMPs will be followed, and work will be performed within the approved work
windows for listed species and forage fish. The installation activity is limited to placement of a mooring buoy for
a single boat, recreational use. To install the mooring buoy, one or two SCUBA divers will screw a helical anchor
into the substrate. No heavy equipment will be used. Because a helix anchor will be used, no concrete will be
necessary. The buoy will be 3 feet or less in diameter, made of a standard styrofoam ball with plastic coating
and a steel rod through the center with key holes at the top and bottom. The anchor, buoy, and moored vessel
will not be located over or within 25 feet of eelgrass. The buoy anchor will be installed so that the anchor line
does not drag or scour, and the mooring vessel will not ground at low water.
For the staircase component of the project, standard BMPs will be followed and all work will be conducted from
the upland side using hand tools. No machinery will ground on the beach. No earthwork or grading will be
necessary. The stairs will be constructed of galvanized steel. For the 84 square feet of area that the staircase
will cover, an equal amount of native plants will be installed as per the native plant mitigation planting plan
outlined in the Biological Assessment report.
For the tree trimming and removal project component all work will be completed by a qualified arborist outside of
nesting season (during the fall or winter months). Additional trimming and pruning of trees and vegetation will be
minimal and focused on improving trail access and the view of the water, keeping the health of the overall
shoreline buffer in mind. For the 1,602 square feet of disturbed area caused by the tree removal, an equal
amount of native plants will be installed as per the native plant mitigation planting plan outlined in the Biological
Assessment report.

waterbodies? [help]
• If Yes, submit the plan with the JARPA package and answer 8d.
• If No, or Not applicable, explain below why a mitigation plan should not be required.
Yes No Not applicable
Standard Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be followed during the installation of the mooring buoy and
beach access staircase, as well as during any tree trimming/removal. Upland and SCUBA habitat surveys were
conducted by a licensed biologist, and a Biological Assessment report with a native plant mitigation planting
plan has been prepared to meet No Net Loss criteria outlined in the Jefferson County Critical Areas Ordinance
Chapter 18.22. This planting plan will cover a 1,686 square foot area to comply with the 1:1 mitigation required
for new disturbance area within a Critical Area buffer.
8d. Summarize what the mitigation plan is meant to accomplish. Describe how a watershed approach was used
to design the plan.
• If you already completed 7g you do not need to restate your answer here. [help]
The goal of the mitigation plan is to achieve No Net Loss of ecological function. This will be achieved with a 1:1
ratio of newly planted plants to newly disturbed area caused by the described projects. The newly installed
native plants will aid in minimizing any potential resource impacts by enhancing ecological value of the existing
site, particularly along the Marine Critical Area buffer. A total area of 1,686 square feet of native plants will be
installed in the clearing located just upland from the shoreline, along where the treeline ends and the clearing
begins. These plants will help to reduce runoff and erosion, improve nutrient input, and create additional wildlife
habitat along the Marine Critical Area buffer.
