PROPERTY REVIEW: Zoning: Parcels 801073003 is zoned Inholding Forest, one dwelling unit per 20 acres (IF-20). This is a conforming lot and is 20 acres in size. Legal Lot of Record Status: This parcel was created in November of 1953 through conveyance and in compliance with the provisions of the applicable subdivision regulations at the time, RCW 58.16. This parcel meets the approval standards of Jefferson County Code 2 (JCC) 18.12.050(1)(a) and 18.12.050(1)(b)(i), as the lot was lawfully created and is equivalent in size to the density of the zoning district in which the parcel is located. An affirmative legal lot of record status was made considering property history documentation as detailed by a chain of title report produced by Jefferson Title Company dated January 18, 2023. Setbacks: The setback from the north, west and south parcel boundary is 250 feet per Jefferson County Code (JCC) 18.30.050 due to commercial forest zoning adjacent to the parcel. A 100-foot buffer plus a 10-foot building setback is required on the southern parcel boundary per 18.25.270(4)(e)(ii). Critical Areas: Natural Shoreline and unmapped Wetlands Shoreline Regulations: A Natural Shoreline Designation exists on the southern boundary. Residential development within a Natural Shoreline Designation will require an administrative conditional use approval pursuant to the county Shoreline Master Program (SMP). It is recommended to keep all development out of this area. Potential Wetlands: There are no mapped wetlands on the property. However, based on GIS mapping, aerial imagery and a site visit by the Jefferson County Wetland Biologist, it was confirmed that wetlands are present on this property. A wetland delineation is required in order to provide a development envelope. Required Reports: Wetland Delineation 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 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 toaddress 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. 3 •If you plan on clearing the property and would be required by the state Department ofNatural Resources (DNR) to submit a Forest Practices Application (FPA), you must workwith 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 wetland delineation. 2.Apply for building permits.
