Case Conditions
Below is a list of conditions for this permit case. Conditions typically record requirements that the applicant must meet to be in compliance with the permit.
Title: FINDING: POTENTIAL CAs
Wording The application was reviewed by Jefferson County Permit Center staff on 1-6-99 for the potential presence of critical areas regulated under the provisions of the Ordinance, and the following critical areas were confirmed as potentially present on the subject property: shoreline, aquifer recharge area, fish & wildlife habitat, seismic hazard, flood hazard.

Title: FINDING: CONFIRMED CAs
Wording Acting upon the above information, Jefferson County staff conducted a site inspection of the subject property on 12-29-98 and confirmed the existence of the following critical areas and/or their associated buffers on the property: shoreline, fish & wildlife habitat, flood hazard area.

Title: FINDING: Aquifer Recharge Area
Wording Aquifer recharge areas in Jefferson County are characterized by porous geologic 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: FINDING: Seismic Hazard
Wording The potential for an earthquake of a high magnitude occuring in western Washington in the near future is considered a high probability by regional experts.

Title: FINDING: Shoreline areas
Wording This waiver also includes findings and conditions for evaluation of shoreline areas as regulated under the provision of The Jefferson County Shoreline Management Master Program, adopted March 7, 1988, as amended.

Title: F&W1-ASSOC-SHORELINE
Wording A minimum setback of 30 feet shall be permanently maintained as a fish and wildlife habitat area buffer associated with the shoreline. The existing house is allowed to encroach on this buffer area, however, no further encroachment will be permitted. This buffer shall be measured perpendicularly from the ordinary high water mark along the shoreline.

Title: BUFFERS NATURALLY VEGETATED
Wording Fish and wildlife habitat area buffers shall remain naturally vegetated. Should buffer disturbance occur during construction, replanting with native vegetation shall be required by the Critical Area Administrator. No alteration shall be made to the fish and wildlife habitat area buffer without prior authorization by the Critical Area Administrator.

Title: CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES
Wording All construction activities, including the storage and preparation of materials, shall not encroach upon the designated fish and wildlife habitat area, its associated buffer, or any critically important plants and trees identified on the subject property.

Title: DEVEL & PLOT PLAN/NOTIFY CONTRATS
Wording The proposed development shall be located on the subject property exactly as identified on the Universal Plot Plan, or other Site Plan, approved by the County as part of the triggering permit application. Applicant shall be responsible for contacting and notifying contractor(s) of the above conditions in order to ensure compliance at various stages of construction/development.

Title: FLOOD CERTIFICATE REQUIRED
Wording A flood area certificate is required for all development in the floodplain. The flood certificate shall be completed by a licensed surveyor and shall include a written and graphic portrayal of the following information: a. the location of the subject property in relation to the flood hazard area; b. the distances of the property and the proposed activity from the edge of the waterway; c. the height of the base flood (in relation to mean sea level) within the vicinity of the proposed activity; d. the height of the subject property (in relation to mean sea level).

Title: FOLLOW FLOOD ORDINANCE
Wording Flood proofing measures are to be used as required by the Jefferson County Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance.

Title: RES CONSTRUCTION FLOOD DAMAGE
Wording All new construction shall use construction methods which minimize flood damage.

Title: RES CONSTRUCTION ELEVATED FLOOR
Wording New construction shall have the lowest floor elevated to at least one foot above base flood elevation.

Title: FLOOD PROOF REQUIREMENT
Wording Fully enclosed area below the lowest floor that are subject to flooding are prohibited unless designed to automatically equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls by allowing for the entry and exit of floodwater. Designs for meeting this requirement must either be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect or must meet or exceed the following criteria: a. A minimum of two openings having a total net area of not less than one square inch for every square foot of enclosed area subject to flooding shall be provided. b. The bottom of all openings shall be no higher than one foot above grade. c. Openings may be equipt with screens, louvers, or other coverings or devices provided that they permit the automatic entry and exit of floodwater.

Title: MATERIALS AND METHODS
Wording All new construction shall: a. be anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement of the sturcture. b. be constructed with materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage and potential damage to adjacent properties. c. be constructed using methods and practices that minimize flood damage. d. have structural components capable of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and the effects of buoyancy. e. electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing, air-conditioning equipment, and other service facilities shall be designed and/or otherwise elevated or located so as to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components during conditions of flooding.

Title: FLOOD PROOFING
Wording Flood proofing of structures shall be provided by one or more of the following methods: a. Landfill: (Note: Landfills are not permitted in the floodway.) The placement of fill may be utilized to elevate the structure and must comply with the standards and policies of the Jefferson-Port Townsend Shoreline Management Master Program, if applicable. b. Pole, pier or piling construction: The use of poles, piers, or piles for the foundation of the structure may be used to allow the unrestricted flow of flood waters during periods at a base flood. The lowest floor must be one foot above the base flood level. c. Parallel Foundation Walls: Foundation walls may be designed and constructed to provide open spaces through which water can flow unrestricted to equalize pressure. In velocity flood situations, it is important that all foundation walls be parallel to the flow of the floodwaters. d. Extended Foundation Walls and Basements: (Note: Extended foundation walls and basements are not permitted in the floodway.) The lowest habitable floor of a residence may be constructed on foundation walls that extend above grade to one foot above the height of the base flood provided that residential construction complies with the requirment of Section 5.101(2), "Residential Construction," regarding the design of enclosed areas.

Title: UTILITIES
Wording Utilities shall be designed as specified in Section 5.20 of Ordinance No. 18-1120-95.

Title: Shoreline: Residential Height
Wording Residential structures shall not exceed thirty-five (35) feet in height.
