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 Jefferson County Department of Community Development Planning Staff has completed a site development review on parcel 701294005. This site development review reflects the conditions of the property at the date the review was completed. NOTICES: 1. Completion of this Site Development Review does not provide any assurance of future approvals for onsite sewage disposal or the ability to obtain potable water on the subject property. Use of any existing septic systems or water supplies for future development are not assured. Any activities that alter site conditions may limit or prevent future development of an onsite sewage system or a potable water supply. All future permitting which requires onsite sewage disposal on the property must comply with JCC 8.15 and WAC 246-272A at the time of application. Future proposals necessitating determination of adequate potable water must meet County and State requirements at the time of application. 2. 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. 3. A site development review does not vest a property to any regulations. Additional information may be required for development permits. Ground conditions may differ from those found in electronic review. There are no guarantees for development provided from this Site Development Review. PROPERTY REVIEW: Zoning: This parcel is zoned Rural Residential 1 dwelling unit per 5 acres (RR1:5). At 4.89 assessed acres, the parcel is a substandard lot but was created in compliance with large lot subdivision requirements at the time of its creation per Ordinance No. 1-75. Legal Lot of Record Status: This lot was platted under a record of survey as recorded in Volume 1 Page 154 of surveys or Auditor’s File Number 236736. County records indicate that the property has maintained the same legal description since creation of the lot and there is no indication that property boundaries have changed since. This lot qualifies as a legal lot of record under the general exceptions of JCC 18.12.070(4)(f)(i) as it was accepted 2 by the Auditor as meeting the large lot subdivision requirements at the time of its creation per Ordinance No. 1-75 section 3.30(7). Critical Areas: Landslide Hazard (Slight, Moderate), Shoreline Slope Stability (Unstable Slope, Stable Slope), Erosion Hazard, Critical Aquifer Recharge Area (Susceptible Aquifer Recharge Area), Seawater Intrusion Protection Zone (SIPZ) Landslide Hazard (Slight, Moderate): The property contains a slight landslide hazard area and a moderate landslide hazard area; development within 200 feet of the moderate landslide hazard area will require a geological assessment that addresses the potential risks of development adjacent to the moderate landslide area. Erosion Hazard: There is an erosion hazard mapped on the eastern portion of the property. Any new development or land clearing within 200 feet of the erosion hazard area will require a geological assessment and meet Best Management Practices (BMP) per JCC 18.22.520(1)(b). Coastal SIPZ (Seawater Intrusion Protection Zone): There is a Seawater Intrusion Protection Zone (SIPZ) mapped on the property. Any proposed well drilling must be sited at least 100 feet from the SIPZ unless a variance from the Washington State Department of Ecology (ECY) is obtained per JCC 18.22.330(8)(a). In addition, any proposed development of the site must utilize Department of Health approved water system if available. If such a system is unavailable, development on the site may use well to establish potable water. Required Reports: A geological assessment may be required if development is proposed within 200 feet of the top of the shoreline bluff. In addition, an ECY variance may be required for any well drilling occurring within 100 feet of the mapped Coastal SIPZ. 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 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. 3 • 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. Obtain a geological assessment if development occurs within 200 feet of geologically hazardous areas; 2. Obtain an ECY variance for well drilling if proposed well site is within 100 feet of the mapped Coastal SIPZ; and 3. Prepare and apply for residential development permits.
