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 802261002. 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 (RR1:5). This is a substandard lot and is 2.60 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”.

Setbacks: The setback from Munn Road 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. The Conservancy Designation along the lake shoreline requires a 100-foot buffer and a 10-foot building setback and the stream requires a 75-foot buffer and a 5-foot building setback per JCC 18.22.630. Critical Areas: Non-fish habitat stream, mapped wetlands, High Risk FEMA Flood Zone, Slight Landslide Hazard, Seismic Hazard, and Susceptible Aquifer Recharge Area (SUSC). Non-Fish Habitat Stream: There is a mapped non-fish habitat stream crossing through the western portion of the parcel. Subsequent work on this property has identified a non- fish habitat stream also crossing the central portion of the property. All new development must adhere to the required 75-foot buffer and 5-foot building setback, unless a buffer reduction is approved by the department. Wetlands: A wetland is mapped on the east portion of the parcel. A wetland delineation is required to determine the wetland boundaries and buffer. A maximum wetland buffer of 300 feet may be required based on the category of the wetland. The buffer may be reduced based on the results of the wetland delineation report. High Risk FEMA Flood Zone: Any future development within the FEMA Flood Zone will have to comply with all regulations and flood proof requirements at the time of submittal. Seismic Hazard: There is a seismic hazard mapped on the eastern portion of the property. Any new development requires a geotechnical report. Shoreline Regulations: This parcel contains a Conservancy Designation. A Shoreline Conditional Use Permit (SDP2022-00005) is in process. All unpermitted development on the property will be incorporated into this shoreline permit and will need to comply with the results of the Shoreline Conditional Use Permit. Required Reports: Wetland Delineation, 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. 3 • 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 Wetland Delineation. 2. Obtain Geotechnical Report if any future development occurs. 3. Comply with Shoreline Conditional Use Permit pertaining to unpermitted structures and other development within Shoreline jurisdiction.
