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 901024015. 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. 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, one dwelling unit per 5 acres (RR 1:5). This is in the Urban Growth Area (UGA). After the Urban Growth Area transition, the parcel will be in Urban Growth Area Commercial Zoning. This is a substandard lot and is 0.37 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)(c): (c) The lot of record or aggregation of lots is located in 2 the Irondale and Port Hadlock urban growth area overlay district, and can satisfy the requirements of the Jefferson County Code for water (either private or connection to a public water system) and for wastewater (either on site or connection to a public sewer system); Conditions: This site development review was approved for residential only use. Any future change of use may require additional permitting. When the Port Hadlock community sewer is available, the lot may be required to connect to the system. Setbacks: The setback from Irondale Road is 30 feet from the parcel boundary per Jefferson County Code (JCC) 18.30.050. The setback to all other residential properties is 5 feet. Critical Areas: Nitrogen Best Management Practice Requirements for Susceptible Aquifer Recharge Area (SUSC) and Coastal Seawater Intrusion Protection Zone (SIPZ). Coastal Seawater Intrusion Protection Zone (SIPZ): Jefferson County Code (JCC) 18.22.330 (i) states: (A) Voluntary Actions. Voluntary actions may include but are not limited to: (I) Water conservation measures; (II) Ongoing well monitoring for chloride concentration; and (III) Submittal of data to the county. (B) Mandatory Actions. (I) For proof of potable water on a building permit application, applicant must utilize DOH-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; and 2. Installation of source-totalizing meter (flow); (III) If public water is unavailable, a qualifying alternative system may be used as proof of potable water. Nitrogen Best Management Practice Requirements for Susceptible Aquifer Recharge Area (SUSC): SUSC Critical Aquifer Recharge Area: Septic replacement designs must conform with requirements from Jefferson County Code (JCC) 18.30.180, 18.22, and Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 246. The Jefferson County Board of Health will determine the best management practices (BMPs) to meet minimum on-site sewage standards within both a susceptible aquifer recharge area and a special aquifer recharge protection area. The septic system component must be designed to fully treat all nitrogen and bacteria concerns as required by Jefferson County Department of Environmental Health. 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 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 3 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. Apply for permits.
