SDR is required prior to development. The result of SDR is a description of the physical aspects and constraints of the site for the purpose of guiding development. While SDR 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 SDR on parcel 921332029. This SDR 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. permits necessitating determination of adequate potable water. 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 SDR. PROPERTY REVIEW: Zoning: This parcel is zoned Rural Residential 1 dwelling unit per 5 acres (RR 1:5). This is a substandard lot 3.66 acres in size. Legal Lot of Record Status: This parcel was platted under a site plan, Short Plat (C. Gainer). The plat was recorded on December 2, 1975 under Auditor’s File Number (AFN) 231644. Deeds recorded on the property were reviewed for any indication that the lot may have been illegally created. Our records indicated that the property has had a boundary line adjustment on April 4, 2010 under AFN 551488. There is no indication that the lot was 2 illegally created or changed. This parcel qualifies for Jefferson County Code (JCC) 18.12.070(4)(e): “The lot was approved by the county for a residential on-site sewage system, accessory dwelling unit or primary residence, or any land use permit for the purpose of siting a primary residence, and the approval has not expired”.

Setbacks: The setback to all other residential properties is 5 feet per Jefferson County Code (JCC) 18.30.050. Any development on this property will require a buffer of 150 feet plus a 10-foot-wide building setback from the inventoried shoreline. Critical Areas: Shoreline Residential/Inventoried Shoreline, FEMA Flood Zone (VE), Shoreline Slope Stability (Intermediate), SIPZ (At Risk), Shoreline Residential/Inventoried Shoreline: There is a mapped shoreline on the southern parcel. Any development in this area will require a buffer of 150 feet plus a 10-foot-wide building setback from ordinary high-water mark (OHWM) per JCC 18.25.270(4)(e). OHWM determination made by a qualified professional biologist may be required. FEMA Flood Zone VE: The proposal is for residential development outside of the FEMA Flood ZONE. Any future development with the FEMA Flood Zone will have to comply with all regulations and flood proof requirements at the time of submittal. Shoreline Slope Stability (Intermediate slope): Geotechnical Report for Toe of Slope Building Setback is Required. A geotechnical report is required based on slope height and stability indicators per JCC 18.22.530 (9). The applicants have submitted a geotechnical report completed by Zenovic & Associates on October 1, 2009 which expired on October 1, 2014. A new or updated geotechnical report must be submitted before any development occurs on this lot. At Risk Seawater Intrusion Protection Zone (SIPZ): Jefferson County Code 18.22.330 states: (ii) At Risk SIPZ. (A) Voluntary Actions. (I) Water conservation measures. (B) Mandatory Actions. (I) For proof of potable water on a building permit application, the applicant must utilize a Washington Department of Health-approved public water system if available; (II) If public water is unavailable, meaning the subject property is not within a current water service area, an individual well may be used as proof of potable water subject to the following requirements: 1. Chloride concentration of a laboratory-certified well water sample submitted with building permit application; 2. Installation of a source-totalizing meter (flow); and (III) If public water is unavailable, a qualifying alternative system may be used as proof of potable water. 3 Required Reports: Geotechnical Report Stormwater permitting: Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) 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 manual produced by Washington State Department of Ecology. • A Stormwater Management Permit is required for grading of 500 cubic yards or more, land-disturbing activities of 7,000 square feet or more, or creation of 2,000 square feet or more of impervious surface. This approval may be obtained through a building permit or, if you wish to clear the property prior to building, you must obtain a separate stormwater management permit. This is required prior to clearing and grading for related development, such as septic system installation or road/driveway construction. • Stormwater Management Permits or Vegetation Removal Permits are required for any tree removal within a critical area or its buffer regardless of square footage cleared. • Impervious surface includes gravel surfaces. • Building permits must address stormwater. o A small project is any impervious surface under 2,000 square feet. You must meet minimum requirement #2 from the manual. o A medium project is any impervious surface from 2,000 to 4,999 square feet or 7,000 or more square feet of clearing. You must meet minimum requirements #1-#5, including on-site stormwater management. The building permit application should include a designed stormwater management system to address runoff from the roof and other hard surfaces. o A large project is any impervious surface from 5,000 square feet or greater. You must meet all minimum requirements. The building permit application should include a designed stormwater management system to address runoff from the roof and other hard surfaces. If your project meets the large project threshold, your parcel is five acres or larger, and you are not within an Urban Growth Area, an engineered stormwater plan is required to ensure low-impact design standards are met. • If you plan on clearing the property and would be required by the state Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to submit a Forest Practices Application (FPA), you must work with our department first to obtain a Stormwater Management Permit with State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review, in association with a Class IV-General FPA, in order to avoid a 6-year Development Moratorium per the state Forest Practices Act. Jefferson County recommends you contact DNR for FPA requirements. Next Steps: 1. Obtain a geotechnical report from a qualified professional. 2. Apply for development permits.
