Case # SDP2021-00012
Your Shoreline Substantial Development Permit was approved by the Jefferson County Hearing Examiner on August 2,
2022 and approved by Jefferson County on August 3, 2022. The shoreline variance permit will be issued by the
Washington State Department of Ecology (ECY). Jefferson County will forward the proposal and preliminary variance
approval from the Hearing Examiner after the 10-day appeal period ends, which would be August 15, 2022. They may
take up to thirty (30) days to review the permit before issuing a decision to approve or deny the permit.
Construction pursuant to this permit may not begin, nor is it authorized, until twenty-one (21) days from the date
of approval with ECY as defined in RCW 90.58.140(5)(6) and WAC 173-14-090, or until all review proceedings
initiated within twenty-one days from the date of such filing have terminated, except as provided in RCW
90.58.140(5a-c).
You will receive notification from ECY of the filing date and the date construction may begin.

CASE NUMBER: SDP2021-00012
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: SHORELINE VARIANCE WITH SHORELINE SUBSTANTIAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT to
remodel and renovate existing non-conforming cabins. The renovations include lateral and landward development within
the shoreline jurisdiction. A small portion of waterward development includes supplying existing non-conforming cabins 1-
4 with the required septic transport lines. Once installed, the applicant will plant a native grass seed mix to bring the area
back to pre-disturbance conditions. There are two wetlands on-site, a category I marine wetland and a category IV
wetland, with a 300-foot and 40-foot buffer, respectively. The applicants are requesting an administrative buffer reduction
of 25% per JCC 18.22.730 (9), making the wetland buffer 225 feet, rather than 300 feet. The entryway to cabin 3 will be
relocated to the eastern side of the cabin, a landward expansion that is parallel to the shoreline of Oak Bay. The previous
owner’s unpermitted expansion of a restroom in cabin 5 is proposed to remain and be permitted through this shoreline
permit as a landward expansion to the shoreline of Kilisut Harbor and is envisioned as restroom facilities for the guests
utilizing this cabin. Additionally, the applicant proposes to move the staircase on the lodge from the south side of the lodge
to the west side of the lodge. The new stair location falls outside of the 150 ft shoreline buffer, but is within the 225 ft
reduced wetland A buffer. The relocation of this staircase is important for the required ADA accessible bathroom location
and accessible entrance. Associated road access improvements and portions of the septic lines are proposed 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 will bring the property into compliance with all local and state regulations. The proposal is
supported by a Shoreline, Wetland, Fish and Wildlife Habitat, and FEMA Floodplain assessment prepared by Soundview
Consultants (Assessment).
