PROPERTY REVIEW: Zoning: This parcel is zoned Rural Residential 1 dwelling unit per 5 acres (RR1:5). This is a conforming lot and is 5.00 acres. Legal Lot of Record Status: 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 maintained the same legal description throughout our records and there is no indication that the lot was 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 2 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”. A stormwater management permit with SEPA class IV General Forest Conversion for a future home site, ZON2019-00002, was approved on March 8, 2019. Additionally, a new address, ADR2018-00143, was finaled on November 29, 2018. Setbacks: The setback from Song Dog Hollow Rd is 20 feet from the parcel boundary per Jefferson County Code (JCC) 18.30.050. The setback to all other residential properties is 5 feet. Commercial forest land is located north of this property and requires a 250-foot setback from the parcel boundary. Rural forest land is located to the west of this parcel and requires a 100-foot setback. Forestry Setback Reduction Options: Currently, the setback for this property is 250 feet from the northern boundary line and 100 feet from the western boundary of the parcel. However, the applicant may apply for a setback reduction per Jefferson County Code (JCC) 18.15.150(3)(a)(i). The property owner may reduce these setbacks by submitting the following: Short Written Narrative/Letter: The applicant shall demonstrate the proposed project will maintain the maximum setback possible and why the size, shape, and/or physical site constraints of an existing legal lot do not allow the full forestry setback (JCC 18.15.150(3)(a)(i)). The applicant’s narrative/letter must address EACH of the following: a. Size of an existing legal lot b. Shape of an existing legal lot c.Physical site constraints of an existing legal lot d. Reduced setback provides adequate access for fire vehicles Critical Areas: Landslide Hazard (Slight). Slight Landslide Hazard: There is a mapped slight landslide hazard on the southwest portion of the property. At this time, Jefferson County Code (JCC) does not regulate slight landslide hazards. However, this hazard may require a geotechnical report in the future depending on JCC regulation changes/updates. Required Reports: None. 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 feetor more of impervious surface. This approval may be obtained through a building permitor, if you wish to clear the property prior to building, you must obtain a separatestormwater 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 3 #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 standardsare 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, inorder to avoid a 6-year Development Moratorium per the state Forest Practices Act. Jefferson County recommends you contact DNR for FPA requirements. Next Steps: Apply for building permits.
