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 947400033. 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.

Setbacks: The setbacks from Holland Drive 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. Critical Areas: Moderate Landslide Hazard, Intermediate Slope, SUSC, and Coastal SIPZ Landslide Hazard/Intermediate Slope: There is an expired Geotechnical report on file. The property contains a moderate landslide hazard area and an intermediate slope mapped on the property; development will require a geotechnical report that addresses these hazards per Jefferson County Code (JCC) 18.22.520. A geotechnical report completed by Alkai Consultants Inc. on June 26, 2005. The geotechnical report was valid until June 26, 2010, per JCC 18.22.905. A new geotechnical report will be required for development. Required Reports: Updated 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 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 mustmeet 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. Youmust 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 3 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. 2. Apply for building permit.
