PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND REQUIRED PERMITS/STUDIES: SUB2020-00018 and ZON2021-00016
Jefferson County Department of Community Development Notice of State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) for the
entire proposal to reconfigure and develop 135 originally platted lots in 1890 on 23 tax parcels into 68 resultant tax
parcels. This proposal consists of the development of 27 acres into 68 homes sites through a boundary line adjustment
(BLA) to reconfigure the lots. The proposal also requires a Jefferson County Class IV General Stormwater Permit with a
Forest Practice Application (FPA) Permit from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), road right-of-way and
development permits, and septic and building permits for each parcel. The applicant proposes to install a manufactured
home on each resultant lot. The applicant has submitted a preliminary engineered stormwater management plan for the
planned clearing and grading, a traffic impact analysis (TIA), a preliminary BLA Survey, preliminary road designs, and a
SEPA Checklist for this proposal. Jefferson County issued an outstanding additional information request on October 7,
2021, which requires the applicant to prove each lot is buildable (Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 58.17.040(6)).
This requires preliminary septic designs for each lot, proving buildable areas in conjunction with onsite slopes, allowing
for road right-of-way, and providing evidence of the ability to accommodate onsite stormwater management for each
lot. This request has the potential to alter the proposal into fewer resultant lots. Jefferson County has opted to evaluate
and postpone a SEPA Determination to allow for public comments and any revisions to be reviewed and incorporated in
making the decision.
COMMENT PERIOD, SEPA ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW, AND WHERE TO VIEW DOCUMENTS:
Jefferson County will issue a SEPA Determination Public Notice, after review of a completed environmental checklist, public comments,
required additional information and other information on file with the agency. This may be the only opportunity to comment on the
environmental impacts of the proposal. Copies of the project are available to the public upon request from the Jefferson County
