PROJECT DESCRIPTION: ZON2021-00049: SMALL SCALE TOURIST AND RECREATION CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT WITH MAJOR VARIANCE AND SEPA to bring Marrowstone Inn into conformance as Rural Recreation Lodging and Cabins. The parcels are in total 8.3 acres and per Jefferson County Code (JCC) 18.20.350(9)(a) requires a variance from the 10-acre parcel requirement. Additionally, the applicants are requesting a variance from JCC 18.20.350(9)(b), to allow more than the 6000 square feet of development for 10 acres to accommodate the existing 11 rental cabins totaling 9,097 SF with an additional assembly space, garage with caretaker’s unit above, and three utility buildings totaling 4,459 SF (excluding the caretaker's residence). The property has been continuously operated as a grandfathered, non-conforming beach resort since the 1940s. Part of the proposal includes renovating and improving the existing structures, upgrading the septic system to meet current commercial standards, the addition of a sauna, improving existing paths onsite, the addition of more gravel parking, and two "glamping" tents on the property. SDP2021 -00012: SHORELINE VARIANCE WITH SHORELINE SUBSTANTIAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT to remodel and renovate existing non-conforming cabins. The renovations mostly include lateral, landward development within the shoreline jurisdiction. Waterward development includes supplying existing non-conforming cabins 1-4 with the required septic transport lines. There are two wetlands on-site, a category I marine wetland and a category IV wetland, with a 300-foot and 40-foot buffer, respectfully. The applicants are requesting an administrative buffer reduction of 25% per JCC 18.22.730 (9). The entryway of Cabin 2 is proposed to be located waterward of the existing entryway, but will not be the most waterward portion of the cabin and the entryway to cabin 3 will be relocated to the eastern side of the cabin, a lateral expansion that is parallel to the shoreline of Oak Bay. The previous unpermitted expansion of a restroom in cabin 5, which the applicants have requested to keep Exhibit 31 - Page 1 of 5 2 and upgrade is parallel to the shoreline of Kilisut Harbor and is necessary to provide restroom facilities for the guests utilizing this cabin. Associated access road improvements and portions of the areas where sewer lines are proposed are waterward of cabins 1-4. The septic system has been designed to minimize land disturbance in association with the onsite contours and conditions. The proposal is the most minimally invasive option to the shoreline and is required to bring the property into compliance. The proposal is accompanied by a Shoreline, Wetland, Fish and Wildlife Habitat, and FEMA Floodplain assessment prepared by Soundview Consultants NOTICE OF LEAD AGENCY: Jefferson County has determined it is lead agency for the above described proposal. NOTICE OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE: Jefferson County has determined that the above described proposal, conducted in conformance with the applicable Jefferson County Codes and Ordinances, would not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment, and an environmental impact statement is not required. This determination was made after review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with the Jefferson County Development Review Division and an inspection of the site. COMMENT P ERIOD: This Determination of Non-Significance (“DNS”) is issued after using the optional DNS process in Washington Administrative Code (“WAC”) 197-11-355.
