The following information is needed to continue review of your project. (1) STORMWATER: According to the submitted Small Stormwater Packet (recieved July 18th, 2022), the applicant is proposing to utilize BMP T5.10B: Downspout Dispersion Systems to manage roof stormwater runoff. Downspout Dispersion Systems require one (1) splash block and one (1) 50 feet vegetated flow path per every 700 square feet of roof surface area. Since the applicant is proposing 1,620 square feet of new roof area, the manufactured home would require at least two splash blocks and two (2) 50 foot vegetated flow paths. Please revise the submitted site plan showing AND labeling the two proposed splash blocks and the two proposed 50 foot vegetated flow paths. In addition, please keep the following information in mind when selecting a location for the splash blocks and vegetated flow paths: (1) The vegetated flow path must consist of well-established lawn or pasture, landscaping with well-established groundcover, native vegetation with natural groundcover, or an area that meets BMP T5.13: Post-Construction Soil Quality and Depth. The groundcover shall be dense enough to help disperse and infiltrate flows and to prevent erosion. (2) For sites with septic systems, the discharge point of all dispersion systems must be downslope of the primary and reserve drainfield areas. This requirement may be waived if site topography clearly prohibits flows from intersecting the drainfield or where site conditions (soil permeability, distance between systems, etc.) indicate that this is unnecessary. (3) For purposes of maintaining adequate separation of flows discharged from adjacent dispersion devices, the vegetated flowpath segment for the splashblock (or the outer edge of the vegetated flowpath segment for the dispersion trench) must not overlap with other flowpath segments, except those associated with sheet flow from a non-native pervious surface. PLEASE NOTE: If the applicant is proposing downspout dispersion trenches, and not splash blocks, please let the assigned planner (Ms. Hunt) know as soon as possible so that she can send the applicant design standards for the dispersion trenches. (2) FOREST LANDS: One of the WA State Department of Natural Resource's ("DNR") thresholds for "forest lands" is properties more than 2 acres in size and forested with merchantable timber. The subject property is approximately 21 acres and is almost entirely forested, and therefore meets the DNR threshold for "forest lands". The assigned planner sent DNR a determination request on October 10th, 2022 to determine if the proposal requires a Forest Practice Application from DNR and a Class IV General Stormwater Permit from the Jefferson County Department of Community Development. The assigned planner is awaiting their response. PLEASE NOTE: If DNR determines that a Forest Practice Application is required, then the applicant will be required to receive an approved Class IV General Stormwater Permit before Jefferson County DCD can issue the O'Dell Building Permit Application (BLD2022-00408). Please submit the above information to the Department of Community Development within 90 days of the date of this letter which would be 1/8/2023. Please call 360-379-4450 to speak with the assigned planner if you have any questions.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Good morning Amanda, This is a tricky one. The L/O sent me an email stating that they aren’t removing timber and the area is already clear. From looking at 2017 imagery, there was a structure on‐site and the area was already non‐forestry use. From looking at google earth imagery (2021) the structure was removed to include scattered trees widening the clearing. Those trees were most likely danger trees within the distance of old structure. Since this clearing/footprint already had a structure and no forestland, I don’t see any triggers for an FPA/N as long as no additional trees are removed from site (The clearing I see as of google earth 2021 imagery was already converted to a non‐forestry use). As per FPA 266814, it does not appear that clearing limits crossed parcels. I will also forward you the L/O email and comments. Thanks, and please call if you have follow‐up questions on this.

The property is approximately 21 acres in size and mostly forested. They are proposing to disturb 4,730 square feet of land in conjunction with their building development site. Please note that previous clearing (most likely in conjunction with the 2019 septic system permit) appears to have already occurred on the site (based on aerial imagery). Here is the site specific information for your review purposes:  Parcel Number: 002284006  Site Address: 150 DAISY KING LN, SEQUIM, WA 98382  Site Plan: See attached PDF Please let me know at your earliest convenience whether DNR will require a Conversion FPA for this property/proposal.

The O’Dell’s property has 1.00 acre assessed at fair market value and the remaining acreage valued in the DFL program. The Assessor’s Office will not require any additional acreage to be removed from the DFL program for the homesite. Section 28‐Township 30N‐Range 2 West, SWSE(Less Tax 5 & RR), Tax 2(Less 1ac NE Corner, Less Tax 31,38 & 39) Please contact me if you should need any further information on the DFL program and our requirements for homesites within the program.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Shannen and Amanda Attached is a timber management plan prepared by Kenneth D. Gilbertson Consulting Forester. This clearly states that 1 acre has been reserved for a home site and 20.93 acres designated forest land (8800). The county website also states this same information. This 1 acre is where we are placing our manufactured home. There will be no trees being cut to clear for the home site. We are not building or clearing any designated forest land. We do not understand why you contacted DNR when this information is on the county website and there is clearly 1 acre set aside for a building site. As you can see from the attachment from Mr. Gilbertson a Forester there is a building site and no conversion needs to take place. Please contact DNR and explain this to Levi. We have been held up on our permit and would like to be able to move forward. We have done everything you have asked us to do and there is no reason for us to be going through this with the DNR. I called and emailed Amanda on Tuesday that I wanted to talk by phone about this and I did not get a return call from her. Our permit application was reassigned only after our permit runner called to check on it and found out it was not even being reviewed. Monday Oct 10 was 12 weeks and we should have been given our building permit. Please review the information we have attached here and approve our building permit.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Amanda Kimberly sent us your email about the forest land. It is not necessary to do an FPA with DNR. As you can see from the attachment (#1, 1 acre home site) that there is a 1 acre vacant land (code 9100) that is not part of the Designated Forest Land (code8800). There had been a house on this site that we demoed and a well that we decommissioned with permits from Jefferson County that we have attached to this email (#2 Demo proff of well and house at 150), we also attached a picture of the house that was demoed. Our new manufactured home will be sitting where the original house had been located. I hope this clears up your concerns. Thank you Robert & Cinda O'Dell
