A shorline Conditional Use Permit for a cable tram to the beach was approved by Jefferson County on June 14, 2005. These permits are applicable for this proposal.

Title: F-RAP & ADDRESS
Wording The property has an existing access from SR 20 per the intake of this application. Please contact the WA State Department of Transportation at (360) 457-2713 for questions about access requirements. An address of 5523 SR 20 has been assigned to the property.

Title: F-SHORELINE
Wording The property is located within 200 feet of a Type 1 shoreline (Discovery Bay), which is designated Conservancy. Any new development located within 200 feet of the OHWM would have to meet the requirements of the Jefferson County Shoreline Management Master Program (JCSMMP). Setbacks shall be 30 feet or 1 foot (horizontal) for each foot of bank height, whichever is greater. The setback shall be measured from the bank's edge when the bank's height exceeds 10 feet (See page 73 of the JCSMMP) from the shoreline. Based on the 60 foot high shoreline bluff a minimum 60 foot setback is required from the top of the shoreline bluff. Decks can be located within this shoreline setback. The proposed deck is located approximately 85 feet from the top of the shoreline bluff, which is reflected on the site plan received on May 10, 2005. Additional setbacks are required based on the landslide hazard associated with the shoreline bluff.

Title: F-Confirmed ESAs
Wording The application was reviewed by the Jefferson County Department of Community Development staff on July 1, 2005 for the potential presence of Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs) under the provisions of the Unified Development Code (UDC). After an initial Geographic Information Systems mapping review and an investigative site inspection, the following ESAs were confirmed to be present on the subject property: Shoreline (Conservancy), Heritage (eagle), seismic, moderate landslide hazard, Susceptible Aquifer Recharge Area, Coastal SIPZ, and stormwater.

Title: F-Special Report Submitted
Wording Bald Eagle Management Plan dated May 2, 2005, and Geotechnical Report prepared by Geotech Consultants Inc. Dated December 10, 2004.

Title: F-Aquifer Recharge Area
Wording Aquifer Recharge Areas in Jefferson County are characterized by porous geological formations that allow percolation of the surface water into the soils and the underlying zone of saturation. Aquifers are geologic formations that contain sufficient saturated permeable material to yield significant quantities of water to wells and springs. Aquifers serve as the source of drinking water within most of the rural portions of Jefferson County.

Title: F-Susc. Aquifer Recharge Area
Wording Susceptible Aquifer Recharge Areas are those with geologic and hydrologic conditions that promote rapid infiltration of recharge waters to groundwater aquifers.

Title: F-Critical Aquifer Recharge Area
Wording Critical Aquifer Recharge Areas are defined as Seawater Intrusion Areas, and Special Aquifer Recharge Protection Areas and the following land uses located within Susceptible Aquifer Recharge Areas (1) All Industrial Land Uses (2) All Commercial Uses (3) All Rural Residential Land Uses requiring a Discretionary Use or Conditional Use Permit (4) All Rural Residential Land Uses with nonconforming uses that would otherwise require a Discretionary Use or Conditional Use Permit (5) Unsewered Planned Rural Residential Developments (6) Unsewered residential development with gross densities greater than one unit per acre. All of the above listed uses shall be subject to the applicable requirements and standards of the Jefferson County Unified Development Code.

Title: F-Geohazard Area
Wording Geologically Hazardous Areas in Jefferson County are characterized by slope, soil type, geologic material, and groundwater that may combine to create problems with slope stability, erosion, and water quality during and after construction or during natural events such as earthquakes or severe rainstorms.

Title: F-Native Vegetation List
Wording Among the native conifer species which may be used in buffers or for re-vegetation include, but are not limited to: Grand Fir (Aibes grandis), Sitka Spruce (Picea Sitchensis), Shore Pine (Pinus Contorta), Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga Menziesii), Western Red Cedar (Thuja Plicata), and Western Hemlock (Tsuga Heterophylla). Among native tree species which may be used includes: Vine Maple (Acer Circinatum), Big-Leaf Maple (Acer Macrophyllum), Red Alder (Alnus Rubra), Pacific Madrone (Arbutus Menziesii), Quaking Aspen (Populus Tremula), Black Cottonwood (Populus Trichocarpa), Bitter Cherry (Prunus Emarginata), Oregon White Oak (Quercus Garryana), Cascara (Rhamnus Purshiana), Pacific Willow (Saliz Lasiandra), and Scouler's Willow (Saliz Scouleriana). Among the native shrub species which may be used are: Sevice-Berry (Amalanchier Alnifolia), Red Osier Dogwood (Cornus Stolonifera) Salal (Gaultheria Shallon), Ocean Spray (Holodiscus Discolor), Indian Plum (Oemlaria Cerasiformis), Pacific Ninebark (Physocarpus Capitus), Red Flowering Currant (Ribes Sanguineum), Wild Rose (Rosa Nutkana), Swamp Rose (Rosa Pisocarpa), Willows (Salix ssp.), Red Elderberry (Sambucus Racemosa), Snowberry (Symphoricarpos Albus), Evergreen Huckleberry (Vaccinium Ovatum), Red Huckleberry (Vaccinium Parvifolium).

Title: F-SIPZ
Wording Marine shorelines and islands are susceptible to a condition that is known as seawater intrusion. Seawater intrusion is a condition in which the saltwater/freshwater interface in an aquifer moves inland so that wells drilled on upland areas cannot obtain freshwater suitable for public consumption without significant additional treatment and cost. Maintaining a stable balance in the saltwater/freshwater interface is primarily a function of the rate of aquifer recharge (primarily through rainfall) and the rate of groundwater withdrawals (primarily through wells). The Washington Department of Ecology is the agency with statutory authority to regulate groundwater withdrawal for individual wells in Jefferson County. New development, redevelopment, and land use activities on islands and in close proximity to marine shorelines in particular should be developed in such a manner to maximize aquifer recharge and maintain the saltwater/freshwater balance to the maximum extent possible by infiltrating stormwater runoff so that it recharges the aquifer.

Title: F-Coastal SIPZ
Wording The parcel is located within a coastal SIPZ (seawater intrusion protection zone) according to the County GIS map. There are voluntary and mandatory measures identified in the Jefferson County Seawater Intrusion Policy (Resolution 44-22, effective September 23, 2002) that apply to well drilling proposals and building permit applications on existing lots of record. A Coastal SIPZ is defined as: all islands and area within one-quarter mile of marine shoreline, but no history of chloride concentration above 100 mg/L in groundwater sources within 1000 feet.

Title: F-Stormwater
Wording The applicant is proposing to create or add 3,317 square feet of impervious surface and 3,373 square feet of land disturbing activities. Sections 6.6 and 6.7 of the Jefferson County Unified Development Code requires that your proposal submit a Medium Stormwater Plan.

Title: F-SEPA Exempt
Wording Jefferson County determined that this proposal is categorically exempt from review under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) pursuant to WAC 197-11-800(1)(b)(i).

Title: F-Site Plan Changes
Wording The site plan received on May 10, 2005 with the Building Permit application (BLD 05-263) submitted on April 26, 2005 has been reviewed for consistency under the UDC, and has been approved by Jefferson County Department of Community Development. Any modifications, changes, and/or additions to the stamped, approved site plan dated July 5, 2005 shall be resubmitted for review and approval by Jefferson County Department of Community Development.

Title: F-Approval for _____ Only
Wording This approval is for a single family residence (future ADU), carport, woodshop, and propane tank only. Any future permits on this site are subject to review for consistency with applicable codes and ordinances and does not preclude review and conditions which may be placed on future permits.

Title: F-ZONING
Wording This property is designated Rural Residential one dwelling per 5 acres by the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan adopted August 28, 1998.
