RECOMMENDATIONS
SUMMARY APPLICATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Date of Application: The application was submitted to the Department of Community
Development August 5, 2005.
Adequacy: Staff determined the application to be substantially complete August 30, 2005.
This application is vested under the ordinances in effect on August 30, 2005.
Open Record Hearing Date: The public hearing is scheduled for June 6, 2006 at 1:00 pm
in the Board of County Commissioner's Chambers in the basement of the Jefferson County
Courthouse.
Proposal: The proposal includes design and construction of a large on-site septic (LOSS)
system for the Beckett Point Fishermen's Club. The Beckett Point Fishermen's Club is a
leasehold property, currently divided into approximately 165 leases within two legal tax
parcels. The residences are currently served by individual on-site septic (OSS) systems. The
existing systems are old and their condition and level of treatment is not well known. The
Beckett Point Fishermen's Club wishes to eliminate individual OSS systems and establish a
community sewage collection and treatment system, thus reducing the potential pollution to
nearby surface and marine waters.
Building Permits/ Inspections
The proposed project involves abandoning the majority of the individual OSS systems and
construction of two new independent community sewage collection and on-site treatment
systems. Several underground grinder pump stations will be installed on the sand spit and at

the top of the slope in residential areas. The grinder pump stations will collect sewage from
one to five lots and convey the sewage via shallow, small-diameter pressure pipelines to one
of two central underground pump stations located near the base of the bluff. From there,
sewage will be pumped to intermittent pump stations located on an existing shelf on the bluff
and pumped again to new large underground septic tanks located in a forested area on the
eastern portion of the property. Effluent will be pumped to large drainfields on the eastern
portion of the property. Approximately 5 acres of forestland will be cleared for the septic
tanks and drainfields. The drainfield area has been located at the furthest point possible away
from the existing slopes above Beckett Point.
Recommendation: Approval with conditions. (Recommended Conditions attached to this
report).

ST AFF FINDINGS
1. This application proposes to install a large on-site septic system (LOSS) for the
Beckett Point Fishermen's Club community. The drainfields will be located as far
from the shoreline as possible on the upland portion of the 84-acre site.
Approximately five acres of forest in the upland area will need to be cleared to
accommodate the drainfields. There are approximately 90 residences next to the
shoreline on the sand spit. Individual septic tanks and grinder pump stations will be
located on the sand spit area to pump the effluent to the drainfields in the upland area.
Each residence is proposed to have its own septic tank. The transport lines
connecting the septic tanks, grinder pump stations and drainfields will be installed in
existing easements and within the Beckett Point Rd. and Hillcrest A venue rights-of-
way.
2. The proposed LOSS design is represented as log item # 106. The septic system was
designed for up to 102 connections. Approximately 90 homes will connect to the
system with a possibility of 12 additional homes to be connected in the future.
3. Parcels 002 231 001 and 002242003 are zoned Rural Residential 1:20. The Beckett
Point Fishermen's Club community has approximately 90 residences on the two
parcels. The development exceeds zoning density yield under today's standards.
4. The Fishermen's Club started in the 1940's. The first documented survey is dated
June 10, 1958 (Log Item #110). These dates are prior to zoning codes in Jefferson
County. Beckett Point Fishermen's Club is a legal non-conforming use with regard to
the number of residences on these two parcels.
5. The application was reviewed by the Jefferson County Department of Community
Development staff for the potential presence of Environmentally Sensitive Areas
(ESAs) under the provisions of the Unified Development Code (UDC). After an

Snowberry - Oceanspray), Seismic Hazard, Landslide Hazard Areas - Slight,
Moderate and High, Susceptible Aquifer Recharge Area (SUSC), Seawater Intrusion
Protection Zone (SIPZ) - Coastal.
6. The Beckett Point Community and surrounding parcels are served by a public water
system managed by the Jefferson County Public Utility District #1. The source of the
water for this area is outside of the Coastal Seawater Intrusion Protection Zone.
7. Lots 2 and 3 of APN 002242003 (Legal Description: S24 T30 R2W I LOT 2 & 3)

STAFF ANALYSIS & CONCLUSIONS
1. Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan Goal and Policies:
UTG 6.0 Promote sanitary sewer systems that accommodate growth, are cost-effective to
construct and operate, and are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
UTP 6.1 Encourage development of community septic systems in Rural Centers to protect
public health, the environment, and foster a reliable, integrated collection system.
UTP 6.2 Existing sanitary sewer treatment facility capacity will not be used as a justification
for expansion of a sewer system or development inconsistent with County-wide Planning
Policies and the Comprehensive Plan.
UTP 6.3 Encourage the use of water-conserving fixtures with new systems or services.
UTP 6.4 In shoreline areas with water quality concerns that are or appear to be related to
problems associated with individual septic systems, Jefferson County supports utilizing a
range of sewage treatment options, including community drainfields and centralized systems,
subject to State law.
Staff Analysis: The residences within the Beckett Point Fishermen's Club
development are connected to individual septic systems that are old, and the treatment
level of the existing systems is questionable. The development is located on a
shoreline sand spit with a wetland in the center which is subject to tidal influences.
Land appropriate to locate individual septic systems, which meet current
requirements, is limited. Water quality within Discovery Bay has become a concern
(Log Item # 129). UTP 6.1 and UTP 6.4 encourage the design and use of community
drainfields when there are concerns for public health and water quality.
The proposed Large On-Site Septic (LOSS) system is designed to accommodate 102
residential connections. 90 existing residences are expected to connect to the LOSS
after construction. Beckett Point Fishermen's Club has existing leases with
expectations to construct an additional 12 residences. Beckett Point Fishermen's
Club is located on two parcels each zoned Rural Residential 1 :20. With 90 existing
residences on these two parcels the development is nonconforming to current density
requirements.
UTG 6.0 encourages the system be designed to accommodate growth, however, UTP
6.2 does not allow for development inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The
following shall be stated as a condition of approval:
MLA05-00520
Beckett Point Sanitary Improvements
Page 6 of 23
LOG ITEM
# 133
p~.:'1ia.;:" fo of Z3
U.t:i.v! . .
Future residential connections to the Large On-Site Septic System (LOSS) are
subject to Jefferson County approval and may include the recording of an
Assessor's Plat.
The approval of the LOSS permit does not vest future development on these
parcels. All building permits are subject to Jefferson County review and may
include the recording of an Assessor's Plat."
The development is located within a Coastal Seawater Intrusion Protection Zone. As
such, water conservation measures are recommended and will be listed on each
building permit. One of the recommendations is the installation of water conserving
fixtures such as low flow toilets, faucets and shower restrictors and other water saving
plumbing fixtures. This recommendation meets UTP 6.3.
2. Chapter 18.15 JCC, Land Use Districts
"Utility Developments, Minor" are a "Ca" use in the Rural Residential land use district per
Table 3-1. Allowable and Prohibited Uses.
3. Article VI-D through Article VI-J of Chapter 18.15, JCC, regarding Environmentally
Sensitive Areas District (ESA)
The proposal was subject to an environmentally sensitive area (ESA) review and identified
the following ESA's: critical aquifer recharge areas (susceptible aquifer and coastal seawater
intrusion protection zone), geologically hazardous areas (landslide - slight, moderate and
high), fish & wildlife habitat (saltwater marsh, bald eagle and blue heron habitat), wetlands,
rare plants (Douglas-Fir 1 Common Snowberry - Oceanspray), and shoreline (Suburban and
Conservancy), Frequently Flooded Area.
4. Critical Aquifer Recharge Areas
Portions of this proposal are mapped as susceptible aquifer recharge areas. All land area
within one-quarter mile of marine shorelines and associated aquifers together comprise the
Coastal Seawater Intrusion Protection Zone (SIPZ). Per 18. 15.240(2)(c) JCC areas that are
listed in a susceptible aquifer recharge area and rural residential land uses that require a
discretionary use or conditional use permit are subject to the protection standards listed in
18.15.255 JCC. The following shall be stated as a condition of approval:
This project shall comply with the on-site sewage disposal best management practices
in critical aquifer recharge areas asfound in 18.30.180 JCe.
In addition to the above, the geotechnical report submitted with the application and prepared
by Myers Biodynamics Inc. (Log Items #11, 12,30 & 31) addresses the water budget and
groundwater nitrate loads. The report states, "It appears the nitrate impact of the proposed
treatment system design that handles 102 hook-ups at an average daily flow of 7,250 gallons
per day that is applied to the 30 acre project area has a localized impact to groundwater
quality."

Cpo, t"'!..".. '1 'of 23
i a~~;j _,.--+--:.
The Geotechnical Report further states, "Since the estimated nitrate concentration in local
groundwater appears to be close to the 10 mg/L MCL limit for drinking water, it would be
appropriate to require groundwater monitoring of nitrate levels in any future water supply
wells completed near the project site. Alternatively, groundwater-monitoring wells could be
installed near the perimeter of the site to monitor actual nitrate levels migrating from the
project area in order to have an early detection system available to respond to potential
changes in groundwater quality." The following shall be stated as a condition of approval:
Groundwater-monitoring wells shall be installed near the perimeter of the site to
monitor actual nitrate levels migrating from the project area.
5. Geologically hazardous areas (landslide, seismic, and erosion)
Portions of the LOSS are proposed on lands characterized by steep slopes and mapped as
slight, moderate and high landslide hazard areas. A geotechnical report prepared by Myers
Biodynamics Inc. (Log Items #11, 12,30 & 31) addresses the generalized subsurface
conditions, hydraulic loading rates, water budget and groundwater nitrate loads and
quantification of nitrate in groundwater. The geotechnical report states, "The proposed
treatment system will result in an annual increase in groundwater input to the local system of
less than 6 inches based on prior analyses of the wastewater treatment area (MBI May 2005).
Due to the relatively minor estimated increase to the groundwater regime, it is our opinion
that the input to the system will have a negligible adverse affect on slope stability."
It further states, "In our opinion, the implementation of conventional erosion control
techniques and best management practices (BMP's) during construction will mitigate the
erosion hazard risk on the property."
The following shall be stated as a condition of approval, "The project shall comply with all
recommendations within the geotechnical report prepared by Myers Biodynamics Inc. dated
June 16, 2005 and any subsequent amendments or addendums to this report. "
6. Fish & wildlife habitat (saltwater marsh, bald eagle and blue heron habitat)
Copies of the proposal were sent to Washington State Department of Fish & Wildlife. Oral
comments were received from Shelly Ament regarding bald eagle habitat stating that no
eagle habitat management plan is required, however, she would like to keep as many trees as
possible. Written comments from Jeff Davis with the Washington State Department of Fish
& Wildlife stated, "The Great blue heron rookery has relocated from the Beckett Point slope
to a wetland located on parcels 002242017 and 002242013. The current heron rookery site is
located within 1/4 mile of the project, therefore, WDFW recommends that land clearing and
grading operations on the LOSS site occur between July 31st and February 15th to avoid
impacts to nesting herons." On May 23,2006 Candace Cramer, Parametrix, contacted staff
to question whether or not the rookery still existed in this location and requested the timing
restrictions be lifted. E-mail communication (Log Item # 132) between Jeff Davis (WDFW),
Candace Cramer (Parametrix) and staff resulted. The final comment from Jeff Davis
received on May 24,2006 is as follows, "Greg was not aware that the rookery ha't'~'''EM

a wetland on DNR land within 1/4 mile of the project. This is the rookery that I referred to in
my email to the county."
The following shall be stated as a condition of approval:
Tree clearing shall be limited to that required to install the LOSS.
Land clearing and grading operations on the LOSS site shall occur between July 31st
and February 15th only, to avoid impacts to nesting herons.
7. Wetlands: A wetland area exists in the interior of the sand spit. The proposal will not
directly affect the wetland, however, a substantial portion of the project will take place within
the wetland buffer. Copies of the proposal along with the wetland delineation were sent to
Gretchen Lux with Washington State Department of Ecology. She made no comments. A
wetland delineation prepared by Pacific Rim Aquatic Environmental Sciences dated August
5,2000 and a Wetland Delineation Amendment prepared by Parametrix dated June 17,2005
were submitted with the application. The wetland delineation classifies the wetland as a
Category II wetland. Table 3-4 of JCC 18.15.340 requires a standard buffer of 100-ft.
The following has been copied from the wetland delineation amendment and shall be stated
as a condition of approval:
"Work areas at Beckett Point will be restricted to existing improved areas, including
the prism of Beckett Point Road, private driveways, and landscaped areas at homes
to be included in the upgraded septic system. "
"Best management practices, including the use of sedimentation fencing, will be used
to protect water quality for local area waters and the wetland during construction. "
"After installation of the force main and hookups for individual homes, disturbed
areas will be graded to the pre-construction contour. Paved driveways and Beckett
Point Road will be resurfaced with pavement. Disturbed vegetated areas will be
reseeded in compliance with the Ecology stonnwater manual. "
8. Rare Plants (Douglas-Fir 1 Common Snowberry - Oceanspray):
GIS mapping indicates rare plants on portions of parcel 002242003. This portion of the
parcel will not be disturbed as a part of this project. WDFW did not make recommendations
regarding rare plants in their comments for this proposal.
9. Shoreline: (Suburban and Conservancy designation): Proposal was sent to the Dept. of
Ecology for comments. Jeffree Stewart with DOE left a voice message (Log items # 64 and
69) on February 24, 2006 stating he had reviewed the proposal and had no comments.
Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (Log Item #45) made the following
comments for this proposal, "The SEP A checklist references discharging trench water onto
LO :v ITEM

the shoreline, as well as, trenching below the ordinary high water mark. All of these
activities will require a Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA) from WDFW prior to initiation of
work. The applicant should contact Randi Thurston at (360) 895-6123 for more details on
HPA requirements."
As a result of this comment, staff recommended the following condition as mitigation for the
SEPA review, "3. Prior to commencing development activity, the proponent shall obtain a
Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA) from Washington State Department ofFish and Wildlife.
Contact Randi Thurston at (360) 895-6123 for details on HPA requirements."
On May 18,2006, a letter from Randi Thurston, WDFW, dated May 17,2006 (Log Item #
128) states the following, "The e-mail received today from Candace Cramer from Parametrix
states that all proposed work would be landward of the ordinary high water line (OHWL). If
work conducted landward of the OHWL doesn't impact the water of the state (i.e. water
quality) or affect the natural rate of sediment delivery to the beach from either impoundment
behind a structure or increased erosion, a Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA; RCW 77.55,
WAC 220-110) to be issued by WDFW will not be required for the project."
Staff recommends the following amendment to the above condition,
All workfor this project shall be landward of the ordinary high water line (OHWL).
If the project is revised to include work waterward of the OHWL or the project is
revised to include work conducted landward of the OHWL which would impact the
water of the state (i.e. water quality) or affect the natural rate of sediment delivery to
the beach from either impoundment behind a structure or increased erosion, prior to
commencing work the applicant shall contact WDFW, Randi Thurston, at (360) 895-
6123 for details on HPA requirements.
Refer to the section for Chapter 18.25 JCC, Shoreline Master Program under Staff Analysis
and Conclusions for detailed review of compliance with shoreline requirements.
10. Frequently Flooded Area: Refer to the section for Chapter 15.15 Flood Damage
Prevention under Staff Analysis and Conclusions on page 19 for detailed review of
compliance with shoreline requirements.
11. Section 18.20.160 JCC Conversions of land to nonforestry use
The drainfields are proposed to be located in the upland area that is forested. Approximately
5 acres is proposed to be cleared in the upland area to accommodate the LOSS facility. This
area will not be reforested. 18.20.160 JCC requires a Class IV General Permit for lands that
are being converted to nonforestry use. 18.20.160(4) JCC requires SEPA review for Class
IV General Permits. The clearing and conversion of the drainfield area was reviewed and
included in the SEPA review during this permit process. As of May 30,2006 Jefferson
County Department of Community Development has not received a Forest Practice
Application (FP A) for review from Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The following
shall be stated as a condition of approval:

Prior to commencing development activity, the proponent shall obtain a Class IV
General Forest Practices Permit from the Washington State Department of Natural
Resources. Contact Ross Goodwin at (360) 732-7175 for details on Forest Practice
Permit requirements. "
12. Section 18.20.400 JCC Performance Standards, Utility developments, minor
Section 18.20.400 JCC classifies sewer pipelines as a minor utility which requires complying
with the Comprehensive Plan, placing lines underground, environmental impacts to be
minimized or mitigated and installing lines within the same right-of-way as transportation
facilities. This proposal complies with these requirements. Refer to the permit conditions for
Section 18.30.120 below.
On April 11, 2006 staff received comments from Jefferson County Public Health. Their
comments are as follows and shall be incorporated as conditions to this proposal:
1) All septic tank abandonment's and new tank/grinder pumps shall be permitted by
JCPH. The drain field and other appurtenances will be approved by DOH.
2) Applications for tank/grinder pump tank installation and septic tank
abandonment's must be submitted by a licensed septic system designer or engineer
licensed by the State of Washington.
3) All tank/grinder pumps installation locations must conform to code whenever
feasible; waivers and mitigation will be required when nonconforming installations
are necessary. All waivers will be will be reviewed by JCPH and consideredfor
approval on a case-by-case basis.
4) A copy of the most up-to-date plans should be submitted to JCPH as soon as
possible.
Section 18.20.400(g) places the burden on the applicant to determine if any state or federal
permits or licenses are necessary and then to obtain those permits or licenses. The following
shall be stated as a condition of approval:
It shall be the affirmative duty of the applicant who proposes a minor utility
development to determine if any state or federal permits or licenses are necessary
and then to obtain those permits or licenses at their own expense.
13. Section 18.30.120 JCC Utility service lines and facilities.
Section 18.30.120 requires environmental impacts be minimized, areas disturbed to be
revegetated, clearing confined to only that necessary for installation and operation of the
system, and the utilities be installed in the same rights-of-way as transportation facilities.

To comply with 18.30.120 the permit shall be conditioned as follows:
Environmental impacts resulting from installation or maintenance of utilities should
be minimized. Areas disturbed during construction shall be replanted with native
vegetation and maintained until firmly established. Clearing shall be confined to that
necessary to allow installation and to prevent inteiference by vegetation once the
system is in operation.
Utilities and transportation facilities shall be installed in the same rights-of-way
when the effect will be to reduce the adverse impacts on the physical environment.
14. Section 18.40.560 Approval criteria for all conditional uses.
(1) The county may approve or approve with modifications an application for a conditional
use permit (i.e., uses listed in Table 3-1 in JCC 18.15.040 as "C(a)," "C(d)" or "COO) if all of
the following criteria are satisfied:
(a) The conditional use is harmonious and appropriate in design, character and appearance
with the existing or intended character and quality of development in the vicinity of the
subject property and with the physical characteristics of the subject property;
Staff Analysis: The LOSS meets this criterion. The proposed LOSS will replace
existing individual on-site septic systems.
(b) The conditional use will be served by adequate infrastructure including roads, fire
protection, water, wastewater disposal, and stormwater control;
Staff Analysis: The LOSS will provide sewage disposal to existing development
within the Beckett Point Fishermen's Club.
A Stormwater Site Plan and a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation control plan
prepared by Parametrix dated July 2005 were submitted on August 5,2005. The
Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan was approved by the Jefferson

The Stormwater Management Manual requires proponents of developments
that meet these criteria to implement Minimum Requirement #2 Construction
Storm water Pollution Prevention and to prepare a Construction Stormwater
Pollution Prevention (CSWPP) Plan.
The proponent has submitted a Stormwater Site Plan, a temporary erosion and
sedimentation control plan sheet, and construction plans for the proposal.
Public Works Department Recommendation
· The Department has reviewed and approved the proponent's CSWPP
Plan and temporary erosion and sedimentation control plan sheet.
· Prior to commencing construction, the proponent shall schedule a pre-
construction conference with its contractor and the Public Works
Department. "
The proposal shall be conditioned as follows:
Prior to commencing construction, the proponent shall schedule a pre-construction
conference with its contractor and the Public Works Department. Contact Jim
Pearson at 360-385-9162 to schedule this meeting.
As conditioned the LOSS meets this criterion.
(c) The conditional use will not be materially detrimental to uses or property in the vicinity
of the subject parcel;
Staff Analysis: The LOSS will not be materially detrimental to uses or property in
the vicinity of the subject parcels. The LOSS meets this criterion.
(d) The conditional use will not introduce noise, smoke, dust, fumes, vibrations, odors, or
other conditions or which unreasonably impact existing uses in the vicinity of the subject
parcel;
Staff Analysis: The LOSS meets this criterion. Noise, smoke, dust, fumes,
vibrations, odors levels have the potential to increase during construction, however,
will become nonexistent after installation is complete.
(e) The location, size, and height of buildings, structures, walls and fences, and screening
vegetation for the conditional use will not unreasonably interfere with allowable
development or use of neighboring properties;

Staff Analysis: The LOSS meets this criterion. As stated in the Construction
Stormwater Pollution and Prevention Plan (Log Item #15, page 14 of 61), "An
approximate 50-foot buffer will be retained between the property lines to the north
and east and the drainfield clearing limits with the exception of the construction
entrance. This will both help negative impacts to any possible stormwater runoff
during construction activities and provide a greenbelt between surrounding property
owners." The septic tanks, grinder pumps, pump chambers and transport lines will be
installed underground either on residential property it will serve or within existing
easements and rights-of-way.
(f) The pedestrian and vehicular traffic associated with the conditional use will not be
hazardous to existing and anticipated traffic in the vicinity of the subject parcel;
Staff Analysis: The LOSS meets this criterion. During construction, impacts to
pedestrian and vehicular traffic will be minimal. After construction there are no
expected impacts.
(g) The conditional use complies with all other applicable criteria and standards of this code
and any other applicable local, state or federal law; and more specifically, conforms to the
standards contained in Chapters 18.20 and 18.30 JCC;
Staff Analysis: As conditioned in this approval, the LOSS complies with all other
applicable criteria and standards of the JCC Title 18 (Unified Development Code),
other applicable local, state and federal laws, and the performance standards and
development standards contained in Chapters 18.20 and 18.30 JCc.
(h) The proposed conditional use will not result in the siting of an incompatible use adjacent
to an airport or airfield;
Staff Analysis: The project is not located in the vicinity of an airport or airfield.
(i) The conditional use will not cause significant adverse impacts on the human or natural
environments that cannot be mitigated through conditions of approval;
Staff Analysis: As conditioned in this approval the LOSS meets this criterion. A full
SEP A review was completed. The SEP A Responsible Official issued a MDNS on
May 9,2006. No appeals were received.
(j) The conditional use has merit and value for the community as a whole;
Staff Analysis: The LOSS meets this criterion. The LOSS will provide reliable
sewage disposal to the Beckett Point Fishermen's Club. As contamination due to
failing individual septic systems is reduced, the community as a whole may benefit
by improved water quality in Discovery Bay.

Staff recommends approval with conditions.
15. Chapter 18.25 JCC, Shoreline Master Program
18.25.190(2) JCC, Secondary uses, criteria is as follows:
Applicants for shoreline substantial development permits for secondary uses will have the
burden of proof to demonstrate that:
(a) The proposal will not be contrary to the general intent of the Shoreline
Management Act, nor shall it be contrary to the goals, policies, and performance
standards of this master program.
(b) The proposed project will not materially interfere with the public use of public
lands and waters or the private use of adjacent private lands.
(c) The proposed project will not cause unnecessary adverse effects on the
environment or other properties and will be compatible with other permitted uses in
the area.
Staff Analysis: Septic tanks, grinder pumps, pump chambers and transport lines will
be located within shoreline jurisdiction. The shoreline designations for these parcels
are Suburban and Conservancy (Log Items #20 & 21). All work proposed within
shoreline jurisdiction will be done within the area designated as Suburban. No work
is proposed in the area designated as Conservancy. Utilities are listed as a Secondary
use within the Suburban designation on the 18.25.240 JCC, Classification table.
Staff finds the proposal as conditioned meets the intent of the Shoreline Management
Act.
18.25.450 JCC Utilities.
(1) Definition. Services or facilities that produce, transmit, carry, store, process, or dispose of
electric power, gas, water, sewage, communications, oil, and the like.

(2) Policies.
(a) Whenever utilities must be placed in a shoreline area, the location should be chosen to
not obstruct or destroy scenic views. Wherever feasible, these facilities should be placed
underground or designed to do minimal damage to the aesthetic qualities of the shoreline
area..
Staff Analysis: The septic tanks, grinder pumps, pump chambers and transport lines
will be installed underground either on residential property it will serve or within
existing easements and rights-of-way.
(b) To an extent feasible, Jefferson County and the city of Port Townsend should incorporate
major utility corridors on shorelines into their programs and plans for public access to
and along water bodies.
Staff Analysis: Not applicable to this proposal.
(c) Utilities should be located to meet the needs of future populations in areas planned to
accommodate this growth.
Staff Analysis: The proposed LOSS has been designed to serve the existing
residences and up to 12 additional home-sites. The proposal shall be conditioned as
follows:
Future residential connections to the Large On-Site Septic System (LOSS) are
subject to Jefferson County approval and may include the recording of an
Assessor's Plat.
The approval of the LOSS pennit does not vest future development on these
parcels. All building pennits are subject to Jefferson County review and may
include the recording of an Assessor's Plat.
(d) Upon completion of installation and maintenance projects of shorelines, banks should be
restored to preproject configuration, replanted with native species, and be provided with
maintenance care until the newly planted vegetation is established.
Staff Analysis: As conditioned the LOSS proposal meets this criteria. The Wetland
Delineation Amendment prepared by Parametrix dated June 17,2005 (Log Item #9
page 4 of 6) states, "No native vegetation will be cleared on the spit for this project."
It further states, "Disturbed vegetated areas will be reseeded in compliance with the
Ecology Stormwater Manual (Ecology 2001). For example, as outlined in the
Ecology stormwater manual, revegetation of disturbed areas following construction
will likely include the following: tall fescue (Lolium arundinacea), bentgrass
(Agrostis spp.), redtop (Argrostis alba), and while clover (Trifolium repens)."

16. Chapter 18.40 JCC, Permit Application and Review Procedures/SEPA
Implementation
18.40.040 JCC Table 8-1 lists Secondary Uses under the Shoreline Master Program as Type
III permits subject to notice and open record public hearing before the hearing examiner.
The decision of the Hearing Examiner constitutes the final decision of the County for the
Secondary Use.
18.40.030 (2) JCC allows for consolidated permit processing under the highest numbered
procedure required for any part of the application. As stated in the notice of application and
the notice of public hearing, "The clearing activity requires a Class IV General Forest
Practices Permit from DNR requiring Stormwater Management and SEPA review. The
Unified Development Code identifies sewer pipelines as minor utilities requiring a
Conditional Administrative Use subject to a Type II process. The Shoreline Master Program
identifies utilities as a secondary use within the Suburban shoreline designation, which
requires a Type III process. The permits will be reviewed collectively under the Type III
process."
17. Chapter 15.15 JCC, Flood Damage Prevention.
15.15.150 JCC Utilities.
15.15.150 JCC (1) Where possible, all new and replacement water supply systems and on-
site sewage disposal systems shall be located outside of the flood hazard area.
Staff Analysis: The drainfield is located in the upland away from the flood hazard
area. The residences served by the new system are located within the flood hazard
area requiring many of the septic tanks, grinder pumps, pump chambers and transport
lines to be located within the flood hazard area.
15.15.150 JCC (3) Sewage Disposal Systems.
(a) All new and replacement sanitary sewage systems shall be designed to eliminate
buoyancy and to minimize or eliminate infiltration of floodwaters into the systems and
discharge from the systems into floodwaters.
(b) On-site waste disposal systems shall be located to avoid impairment to them or
contamination from them during flooding. On-site or alternative proprietary sewage systems
meeting Treatment Standard 2, as defined in Chapter 246-272 WAC, or subsequent
amendments, may be installed in flood hazard areas, provided the performance of the system
component providing the level of treatment is not impaired during flooding.
(4) The elevation and location of all utility systems of a structure shall be designed to prevent
floodwaters from entering the structure(s).
Staff Analysis: County Environmentally Sensitive Area mapping identifies the beach
area of this proposal lying within a frequently flooded area. The FEMA FIRM Map
530069 0135B shows portions of the beach area in Zone A (Area of 100-year flood;
base flood elevations and flood hazard factors not determined) and Zone V (Areas of

100-year coastal flood with velocity - wave action, base flood elevations and flood
hazard factors not determined).
Existing development dictates where sewage lines and components shall be placed.
Components able to be located outside the flood hazard area (i.e. drainfield) were
located as such.
The geotechnical report prepared by Myers Biodynamics Inc. addresses uplift
resistance as follows, "Uplift Resistance - Buried structures on The Point will likely
be located partially below the tidally influenced groundwater levels, subject to
flooding, and/or within liquefiable soils. These structures should be designed to resist
hydrostatic uplift forces. Uplift forces can be resisted by increasing the weight of the
structure such as additional concrete mass incorporated into a pump station, holding
tank, and/or thrust blocks. Additionally, soil backfill above buried structures provides
some resistance to uplift. We recommend using a total soil unit weight of 120 pef
and a submerged unit weight of 58 pef for granular soil backfill above buried
structures. This assumes backfill is placed and compacted as structural fill."
The project shall be conditioned as follows:
The elevation and location of all utility systems of a structure shall be
designed to prevent floodwaters from entering the structure( s).
Where possible, all new and replacement water supply systems and onsite
sewage disposal systems shall be located outside the flood hazard area.
All new and replacement sanitary sewage systems shall be designed to
eliminate buoyancy and to minimize or eliminate infiltration of floodwaters
into the systems and discharge from the systems into floodwaters.
On-site waste disposal systems shall be located to avoid impairment to them
or contamination from them during flooding. Onsite or alternative
proprietary sewage systems meeting Treatment Standard 2, as defined I WAC
246-272, or subsequent amendments, may be installed in flood hazard areas,
provided the performance of the system component providing the level of
treatment is not impaired during flooding.
18. SEP A
The SEP A Responsible Official issued a Final Threshold Determination (MDNS with 30
conditions) on May 9,2006 per WAC 197-11-340 and 197-11-510. The appeal period ended
on May 23,2006. No appeal was filed on the final threshold.
Conditions 1 through 30 recommended in this staff report were also mitigations for the SEP A
threshold.
