What's the best way to submit the wetland delineation, geotechnical report, and farm plan? All the best, Mark Albonizio Songbird Haven Farm From: Shannen Cartmel <SCartmel@co.jefferson.wa.us> Sent: Tuesday, July 26, 2022 9:01 AM To: Mark Albonizio <malboniz@hotmail.com> Subject: RE: CAM email - Jefferson County Hi Mark, I have spoken with the team and we have reviewed the code together. The proposal must comply with our agricultural activities in critical areas code, Jefferson County Code (JCC) 18.22 Article VIII Agriculture and the wetland section JCC 18.22 Article VII Wetlands. That being said to further any review, you would need to submit a wetland delineation, geotechnical report, and farm plan developed by a state or federal farm assistance agency that addresses all the requirements and how the proposal 1 meets each criterion from JCC 18.22. Once the following are obtained, the application would likely require a pre- application conference to determine the proper permitting path. Hopefully, this information gives you a good starting path to achieve your goals!

The proposal would be to plant blueberry bushes every 4 feet within a wetland buffer. The use would be for commercial purposes and the blueberries would be sold onsite at a farmstand. No heavy machinery/vehicles would enter the wetland buffer. Thank you so much.

Hi Shannen, Is it possible to use this opportunity to ask+answer the same questions, as if we were talking about a parcel where your team did have jurisdiction? We're looking for farmland and Jefferson county has such nice soil. Thank you for considering.

We do not have jurisdiction in the city, I recommend you reach out to the development review division with the City of Port Townsend. Thank you!

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Hi Shannen, Thanks for reaching out. I'm excited to learn more about what's allowable and how we can meet the needs of a growing neighborhood. 3 The blueberries would be for commercial agriculture use and to be sold at an onsite farmstand. We'd like to attract residents who live within 1 mile of the site. We imagine people will stop by as they bicycle and walk the neighborhood. We would source our plants from Cloud Mountain: https://www.cloudmountainfarmcenter.org/nursery- category/fruit-plants/small-fruit/blueberry/ Blueberries can be planted about every 4 feet. How far into the buffer depends on what your team decides. We'd like to plant as many as possible to meet the financial goals of a mini-scale agricultural operation. Happy to answer additional questions. Thank you for your time.
