Setbacks: The setback from Center Rd 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: Fish Habitat Stream, Non-fish Habitat Stream, Fish Passage Barrier (partial), Wetlands Fish Habitat Stream: There is a mapped fish habitat stream on the parcel, the stream is
completely within the wetland and its buffer. All new development must adhere to the required 150-foot buffers. Non-Fish Stream: There is a mapped non-fish habitat stream crossing through the northwest
portion of the parcel. Lidar imagery, US topography maps, and contours were evaluated. If a
stream does exist, all new development must adhere to the required 50 to 75-foot buffers. If the
grade is over 20%, a 75-foot buffer shall be maintained, if under 20% grade, a 50-foot buffer
shall be maintained. An additional 5-foot building setback will apply to either buffer. Fish Passage Barrier (partial): Wetlands: Wetlands are mapped on the site and aerial photography indicates there may be
additional unmapped wetlands on-site. Any development will require a wetland delineation by a
qualified professional. If wetlands are present on the property, the potential development
envelope will change based on the professional delineation and actual location of wetlands.
Required Reports: Wetland delineation
Stormwater permitting: Stormwater Best Management Practices 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 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington produced by Washington State Department of Ecology.
• Stormwater Clearing Permits are required for ALL property clearing of 7000 square feet or
greater. This can be obtained through a building permit or if you wish to clear the
property prior to developing you must obtain a separate stormwater permit. This is
required prior to clearing for septic installation
• Stormwater Clearing Permits or Vegetation Removal Permits are required for any tree
removal if within a critical area regardless of square feet being cleared.
• Impervious surface includes gravel surfaces.
• Building permits must address stormwater.
• A small project is any impervious surface under 2000 square feet. You must meet
minimum requirement #2.
• A medium project is any impervious surface from 2000 to 4999 square feet or 7000 or
more square feet of clearing. You must meet Minimum requirements #1-#5. Including on

management system as part of your building permit to address roof and other hard
surfaces.
• A large project is any impervious surface from 5000 square feet or greater. You must
meet all minimum requirements. Jefferson County will request you to design a stormwater
management system as part of your building permit to address roof and other hard

• 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.
