RE: Shoreline Master Program Update
Hi Larry,
At this time, the Preliminary Draft SMP does not include such language, however it has been DCD policy for some time
that we honor plat provisions.
Existing plats are intended to vest development. Staff will likely recommend a revision to include such a provision prior
to SMP submittal to the BoCC and ECY.
Beyond our local code, RCW 58.17 and various case law address the issue of vesting subdivisions.
Hope that helps,
Michelle

Subject: Shoreline Master Program Update
Michelle, please see 4ii below from the current shoreline master plan, which was pointed out to me by Zoe Ann
Lamp. This exception seems fair in that it allows the standards considered in the design and sale of property in
a subdivision, such as Villas by the Sea, to take precedence over new standards adopted later that would
significantly diminish a property's value. It also ensures that standards within an established subdivision will be
uniform and not vary from lot to lot depending on the date of construction. Will this language remain in the
updated shoreline master program?
Sincerely,
Larry Sumpter
Jefferson County Code
Title 18 UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE
Chapter 18.25 SHORELINE MASTER PROGRAM
18.25.410 Residential development.
1
~
(4 ~erformance Standards.
~
(e~evelopments containing marshes, swamps, lagoons, portions ofa floodplain, or similar wetlands shall use those
areas only for the purpose of parks, open space, or recreational facilities.
~
(~evelopments shall be designed to include measures to prevent overflow usage of common areas upon adjacent
privately owned shore lands and uplands.
~
(g~menities provided by development shall not be detrimental to the geohydraulic processes occurring within the
shoreline corridor.
~
(h~oads, utilities, and other improvements shall comply with the applicable policies and performance sta ndards of
this master program.
~
(i~esidential structures shall not be located in areas subject to flooding or tidal inundation unless complete
floodproofmg measures have been provided, and then only when the location of such structures will not aggravate flooding
possibilities of nearby properties.
J0Jb
G - e standard setback for residential structures, including common appurtenant structures such as garages and
workshops, shall be 30 feet or one foot for each foot of bank height, whichever is greater. This setback shall be measur ed
from the bank's edge when the bank's height exceeds 10 feet. When the bank's height is less than 10 feet, the setback shall
be measured from the ordinary high water mark. The setback shall not exceed 100 feet. (See Administrative Interpretation,
attached to the ordinance codified in this chapter, pages 105-106.)
101
t...::::...iExceptions from this standard include the
following:
~
(i~ere there are existing dwellings within 300 feet on either side of the proposed building site, the setback
shall be the average se tback of those dwellings or as prescribed above, whichever is less (see Figure 4). In those
instances where a single dwelling unit is within 300 feet of one side of the proposed building site, the setback shall
be the difference (average) between the required setback and that of the existing structure (see Figure 5). In both
cases, the existing dwellings are construed to be those that are currently occupied. The mere presence of shacks,
sheds or dilapidated buildings does not constitute the existence of a dwelling unit.
J0L
(ii - ere a residential setback was established as part of the approval of a residential subdivision, the
established subdivision setback shall take precedence.
OD
f01
L::::.1All setbacks shall be measured from the waterward most edge of the structure, excluding decks, eaves, etc. Deviations
from this standard shall be reviewed on an individual basis. A request for a deviation shall be considered an administrative
variance following the procedures established under JCC 18.25.620 and will be subject to the variance review criteria
established under JCC 18.25.590. Unless appealed, a setback deviation rendered by the county or city shall be considered
final.
