This email was scheduled to send on October 12, 2022. My apologies for the delay. If you have comments, please share them within the next two weeks, by Wednesday, November 23, 2022. Thank you for your time.

The applicant requests a full release from the mandatory six‑year development moratorium placed on the property after the previous owner obtained Forest Practices Application (FPA) 2615192 timber harvest approval from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Cedarland Forest Resources LLC harvested 9 acres of the 10.3-acre property with a class II FPA from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), approved on December 27, 2017. Per Jefferson County Code (JCC) 18.20.160 (5)(b) a mandatory six‑year development moratorium was placed on the property, set to expire December 27, 2023. The applicants Charles and Heather Southard bought the property on April 4, 2018, unaware of the development moratorium. The applicant is applying for a Type III Full Moratorium Release to build a single-family residence with associated residential development, and to plant 6 to 7 acres of native plants and viable timber. The site consists of 9 acres of harvested timber, forestry roads, and less than an acre of unharvested timber. The mapped and confirmed critical areas on the property are a Critical Aquifer Recharge Area and a Seismic Hazard Area. The Critical Aquifer Recharge Area does not require special reports. The Seismic Hazard Area is addressed in a Geotechnical Engineering Report prepared by GeoTest Services, Inc. on July 8, 2022. The applicants submitted an engineered stormwater plan by Weinberg Engineering LLC. SEPA: The optional DNS process of the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 197-11-355 is being used. This will be the only opportunity to comment on the environmental impacts of the proposal. DCD reviewed the proposal for probable adverse environmental impacts and expects to issue a DNS.
