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 502155001 and 502151033. 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: Parcel 502155001 is zoned Rural Residential 1 dwelling unit per 5 acres (RR1:5). This is a conforming lot and is 5.22 acres. Parcel 502151033 is zoned Rural Residential 1 dwelling unit per 5 acres (RR1:5). This is a substandard lot and is 1.08 acres. A Boundary Line Adjustment has been applied for under SUB2022-00026 to combine the lots. Legal Lot of Record Status: Parcel 502155001 was platted under Pleasant Harbor Beach Tracts Large Lot Subdivision, recorded on August 20, 1990 under auditor’s file number 333825. This parcel has not changed since platted and remains a legal lot of record because it was platted after August 11, 1969. 2 Parcel 502151033 was platted under Boling Short Plat on May 30, 1991 and was recorded under auditor’s file number 340771.

Setbacks: A 150-foot buffer and 10-foot building setback, totaling 160 feet, is required from the shoreline ordinary high-water mark. The setback to all other residential properties is 5 feet. Code Compliance Concerns: There is a parcel tag implemented by the Jefferson County Code Compliance Coordinator on parcel 502151033. Any future permits will not be issued until a Built- Without-Permits (BWOP) is issued or removal of structure is completed. The most recent picture from July 13, 2021 is shown below and was taken from the Assessor’s webpage. The applicant must work with the code compliance coordinator for Jefferson County to resolve this issue. Permitting: Any existing structures may need to go through additional permitting requirements if they are found to be located within critical areas, critical area buffers or within the FEMA Flood Zone. A pre-application conference will be required to determine next steps and to determine permitting within a Shoreline Designation. Stormwater requirements may also be required. Retroactive permitting may or may not be authorized. Critical Areas 502155001: High Risk FEMA Flood Zone, Shoreline Intermediate Slope, Coastal Seawater Intrusion Protection Zone (SIPZ), and Shoreline Residential Designation. 3 Critical Areas 502151033: Shoreline Intermediate Slope, Coastal Seawater Intrusion Protection Zone (SIPZ) and Shoreline Residential Designation. High Risk FEMA Flood Zone: The proposal is for a Boundary Line Adjustment. Existing development may require adjustments and reports to meet FEMA regulations. Any new development will require that a qualified professional conduct a Habitat Assessment per Jefferson County Code (JCC) 18.22.940. Additionally, future development will be subject to JCC 15.15.080. Shoreline Slope Stability (Intermediate slope): A Geotechnical Report may be required for existing development and may be required for any future development. A geotechnical report is required based on slope height and stability indicators per JCC 18.22.530 (9). Coastal 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. Shoreline Regulations: The parcel is located within a Shoreline Residential designation. Residential development is allowed subject to the policies and regulations of the shoreline master program. The existing structures may be subject to additional permitting in order to comply with the requirements of Shoreline development. 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. • 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. 4 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. Address Code Compliance Concerns. 2. Apply for a Pre-Application Conference. 3. Continue with Boundary Line Adjustment.
