Site development review is a required assessment, prior to development, of the physical aspects and constraints of the site for the purpose of development. While it will not vest a property to development regulations, it provides for a professional analysis of the site according to current development regulations A guaranteed right to development can only be established once a development permit application or building permit application vests pursuant to JCC 18.40.320. Jefferson County Department of Community Development Planning Staff has completed a site development review on parcel 902041010. This site development review reflects the conditions of the property at the date the review was completed. Zoning: This parcel is zoned Rural Residential 1 dwelling unit per 5 acres (RR1:5). This is a conforming lot and is 5.04 acres as per survey recorded under Auditor’s File Number 405037 on November 03, 1997. This survey did not further change the configuration of the parcel. Legal Lot of Record Status: This parcel was platted under a survey reviewed and approved by Jefferson County and recorded under Auditor’s File Number 232246 on January 13, 1976 and qualifies a large lot greater than five-acre exemption the county held for large lot subdivisions by survey in 1976 under ordinance 1-75 – The Jefferson County Subdivision Ordinance at the time. Additionally, there is an approved septic system on the property permitted under SEP2021-00075. Setbacks: The, South, West and East property lines hold a 5-foot setback to adjacent residential land. The North Setback, adjacent to Craig Road holds a 20-foot setback from parcel boundary. Critical Areas: Geologically Hazardous Areas – Seismic Hazard Seismic Hazard: A Geotechnical report prepared by a Washington State Licensed Geotechnical Engineer is required for development within the Seismic Hazard Area. The report is valid for 5 years from the date it is completed. Required Reports: Geotechnical Report if developing within the Seismic Hazard. Stormwater permitting: Stormwater permitting: Stormwater Best Management Practices shall be implemented as conditioned on any permit approvals and as required in the current edition of the Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington. Jefferson County has adopted the most current edition of the Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington produced by Washington State Department of Ecology. • Stormwater Clearing Permits are required for ALL property clearing of 7000 square feet or greater. This can be obtained through a building permit or if you wish to clear the property prior to developing you must obtain a separate stormwater permit. This is required prior to 2 clearing for septic installation • Stormwater Clearing Permits or Vegetation Removal Permits are required for any tree removal if within a critical area regardless of square feet being cleared. • Impervious surface includes gravel surfaces. • Building permits must address stormwater. o A small project is any impervious surface under 2000 square feet. You must meet minimum requirement #2. o A medium project is any impervious surface from 2000 to 4999 square feet or 7000 or more square feet of clearing. You must meet Minimum requirements #1-#5. Including on site stormwater management. Jefferson County will request you to design a stormwater management system as part of your building permit to address roof and other hard surfaces. o A large project is any impervious surface from 5000 square feet or greater. You must meet all minimum requirements. Jefferson County will request you to design a stormwater management system as part of your building permit to address roof and other hard surfaces. If you reach a large project and your parcel is 5 acres or larger and you are not within an Urban Growth Area, an engineered stormwater plan is required to ensure low impact design standard is met. • If you plan on clearing the property and qualify under Department of Natural Resources (DNR) classification of needing a Forest Practices Application (FPA) you must work with our department first to obtain a Class IV General Stormwater Permit with SEPA to avoid a Development Moratorium. Jefferson County recommends you contact DNR to determine if your project meets their standard. Next Steps: 1. Get geotechnical report. 2. Contact DNR to determine if a FPA is required, if it is apply with the County for a Class IV general stormwater permit with State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review. 3. Apply for development permits.
