Subject: SMP UPDATE
AI,
Being able to rebuild even in a buffer has been a basic tenant of all Jefferson County codes. Even the
Critical Areas Ordinance allows a person to rebuild in a buffer. Only in the SMP have you changed this. The
proposed SMP specifically voids the provision of JCC 18.22.080 and supplants the proposed 750/0 rule. Even
the Whatcom County SMP is not as restrictive as our proposed SMP in this regard.
This along with the buffers are a blatant land grab.
I find it interesting that commercial aquaculture is allowed in the critical areas but single family homes are
basically being phased out of the buffer for the critical area. How is it that the fish and wildlife are not
harmed by a commercial operation right in the critical area. Many of the species being farmed are not even
native species and are therefore crowding out the native flora and fauna. The process of commercial
aquaculture causes much more intense disruption of the critical area then single family homes could ever
possibly do. Digging and mucking about in the critical area are much more intensive then someone having
a single family home outside the critical area no matter how close that maybe.
I look to see this being another indirect tax, fee or charge as per RCW 82.02.020. In fact the
whole buffer concept is an indirect tax, fee or charge.

The main issue for DeD is preparation of a SMP to meet the legislative requirements in view of local circumstances. The
75% rule has not been deliberated on by the PC, they will prepare their draft SMP by mid May and DCD anticipates the
PC will have a public hearing on their version on June 3.

DCD talks about total replacement of the structure outside the buffer area if 75% is destroyed. They do not point out that
insurance coverage will only pay for the damaged portion of the building. If the structure has to be relocated, the owner
will have to pay for new foundations, utility hookups, septic hookup or relocation, relocated driveways, his share (%) of the
building that was not destroyed, and the removal of the old foundation, etc. These costs may be more than the insurance
settlement.
The most likely homes to be lost are the oldest and smallest. The people owning these homes are the ones who can
least afford this kind of loss.
This is why I am against forced relocation of homes that are over 75% destroyed.
