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 (DCD) Planning Staff has reviewed the property at 2901 Oak Bay Road Port Hadlock WA, 98339, parcel 921183022. This SDR reflects the conditions of the property at the date the review was completed. NOTICE TO APPLICANT: The purpose of the SDR is to provide owners and developers of land with a professional assessment of possible site development issues without first applying for permits. As this is a preliminary review of available GIS mapping data and nontechnical information supplied by the applicant, it is NOT a guarantee that development can occur in the manner described. However, it is a valuable tool to allow applicants to plan out the development process in advance. Here are three key disclaimers: •Site Development Review DOES NOT VEST applicants to a particular set of regulations; that can only be accomplished in the manner set out in JCC 18.40.320, which in many cases requires filing of a building permit application. •Completion of this review does not guarantee future approval for an onsite septic system. Anapplicant must apply for and complete all required permitting pursuant to chapter 8.15 JCC and WAC 246-272A. Use of older septic systems is not guaranteed. •The adequacy of a potable water supply cannot be assessed until the time of building permit application. Proposals necessitating a determination of adequate potable water supply must meet all county and state requirements in effect at the time of application. PROPERTY REVIEW: Zoning: This parcel is zoned Rural Residential, one dwelling unit per five acres (RR 1:5). This is a substandard lot and is 2.03 acres in size. Legal Lot of Record Status: This parcel was platted under Donovan Short Plat. The plat was recorded on October 9, 1978 under Auditor’s File Number 253267. This parcel under the Donovan Short Plat has not changed since platted and remains a legal lot of record because it was platted after August 11, 1969. Setbacks: The setback from Oak Bay Road is twenty (20) feet from the parcel boundary per Jefferson County Code (JCC) 18.30.050. The setback to all other residential properties is five (5) feet. If any easements, including an ingress/egress easement, there may be a twenty (20) foot setback per Jefferson County Code (JCC) 18.30.050. Critical Areas: Shoreline Environmental Designation: Shoreline Residential, High Landslide Hazard, Shoreline Slope Stability: Unstable Recent Slide with Intermediate Slope, and Coastal Seawater Intrusion Protection Zone (SIPZ) Shoreline Residential: There is a mapped shoreline on the eastern portion of the parcel. Any development in this area will require a buffer of 150 feet plus a 10-foot building setback per JCC 18.25.270(4)(e). Depending on the building proposal and the permitting requirements, some applications within 200 feet of the shoreline may require one or more of the following: shoreline exemption, shoreline conditional use permit, shoreline variance, and/or a shoreline substantial development permit. Additionally, based on the permit, development may need a Customer Assistance Meeting (CAM) or pre-application conference depending on the proposal and proximity to the shoreline. Geohazards: The following are mapped geohazards on this property: High Landslide Hazard, Shoreline Slope Stability Unstable-Recent Slide and Intermediate Slope. The high landslide hazard and unstable-recent slide shoreline slope stability designations are both regulated geohazards under Chapter 18.22 JCC. A prescriptive setback of 25 feet with an additional 15-foot impervious surface setback for a total of 40-foot setback from top of slope was determined for the property according to the standards of JCC 18.22.530(8)(b)(i) and any development or land disturbance within 200 feet of the mapped hazards must be evaluated in a geological assessment per JCC 18.22.540(4)(b). All of these hazards are regulated under Jefferson County Code (JCC) 18.22. Any new development requires a geotechnical report that addresses all of the listed geohazards on site. 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 submittedwith building permit application; and2.Installation of source-totalizing meter (flow); (III)If public water is unavailable, a qualifying alternative system may be used as proof of potable water. JCC18.22.330 (2)Seawater Intrusion Protection Zones. New development, redevelopment, and activitieson islands and in close proximity to marine shorelines where there is a risk or a high risk ofseawater intrusion should be developed in such a manner to maximize aquifer recharge, maintain the saltwater/freshwater balance to the maximum extent possible, and are subject to the antidegradation policy in accordance with WAC 173-200-030 (Antidegradation Policy). Required Reports: 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 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 relateddevelopment, 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 or7,000 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 shouldinclude 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 ofNatural 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.Obtain geotechnical report from qualified professional. 2.Apply for development permit(s).
