Thanks for the detailed perspective Jim. We'll definitely consider it as we proceed with the Planning Commission.
Best,

Subject: Fw: SED Map
Hi Stacie,
No. Perhaps the legislature is the one to ask. What did they mean by accurate? I'm just comparing the requirements in
173-26-211 (2)(b) to Article 4.1 for consistency. The SED guidelines simply say to "accurately define and distinguish the
environments on the ground." My initial question was predicated on the numerous references to the maps as
"informational only." At the bottom of page 1-3 of the Shoreline Inventory Report, it states, "the information presented in
this report is not necessarily accurate to the parcel or property boundary scale." I just think it should be clear to the
applicant, or even to someone curious about the potential future impacts of a change in designation, that the County has
an "accurate" map that depicts their parcel in relationship to its "planning segment" and corresponding SED. Absent that,
"the master program text shall include a clear basis for identifying boundaries..." I think it would be helpful to mention in
4.1 that the County has parcel specific maps and that the reach boundaries are described in the Shoreline Inventory
Report, so that shoreline owners can easily determine their SED.
If there is a dispute over an SED, where is the burden of proof, on the applicant or the County? Does 10.8 apply here?
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,
The maps and reports proposed for adoption won't be final until final adoption of the SMP. However, I do consider
Development Review, ie permitting, to be included in planning purposes. If there is a dispute as to the edge of a change
in shoreline designation, we could look to on the ground information in concert with the Inventory and Characterization
Report. Are you suggesting a survey with permanent survey markers is needed for the entire shoreline for the map to
qualify as accurate?
Thanks,
Stacie

Stacie,
Thanks. It's my opinion that if the gist of your answer was conveyed in 4.1 it would help the applicant understand how the
County is mapping SEDs and to quickly identify which one applies to their parcel. One of the things that is confusing is
the maps are represented as "for planning purposes only, which could be determined as a disclaimer as to their
accuracy, and 173-26-211 calls for an "accurate" map.

HiJim,
DCD mapping would be available for permit review at a parcel level. We would add them to our jMap database to be
available interactively to the public and permit reviewers much like the current shoreline designation maps. The
proposed maps are a pdf now and you can zoom in on a computer. The parcel boundaries are there, and I've found
zooming in to 400% to be easy to read. The description for each reach in the Inventory & Characterization Report is
also helpful for determining where each reach begins and ends. Is there a specific area or parcel where it's unclear to
you which SED is mapped? We're happy to provide clarification if you have trouble reading it.
At this time, the SEDs aren't proposed as a change to the Com Plan land use map. An official map will be adopted and
referenced as part of the SMP update.
Let me know if you need anything else.

Subject: Fw: SED Map
Stacie,
It remains unclear to me how a permit applicant will know what shoreline environmental designation is being applied to
their parcel absent a site-specific evaluation. WAC 173-26-211(2)(b) advises that an accurate map delineating SED
boundaries be maintained in the office that administers permits, and that when feasible, that map should depict
2
individual parcels. When that isn't possible, the SMP text shall "accurately define and distinguish envieonments on the
ground." The maps attached to the draft SMP depict the designations in a very general way. Article 4.1 deals with this in
a general way that isn't entirely clear. 4.1.8 refers to an official map that applies to each "segment" of the planning area,
without specifically identifying how individual parcels will be designated. 1.8. addresses that the exact determination of
shoreline jurisdiction will be determined on a case by case basis, but what about the SED? Will the map used by DCD
be of a higher resolution that shows SEDs in relation to individual parcels or will it simply show planning "segments?"
Also, 173-26-211(2)(c) advises that SEDs be included in the comp plan future land-use map. Will that happen?
Thanks,
Jim
