Wording
|
| | |
The application was reviewed by Jefferson County Permit Center staff on 10-16-97 for the potential presence of critical areas regulaterd under the provisions of the Jefferson County Interim Critical Areas Ordinance, and the following critical areas were confirmed as potentially present on the subject property: landslide hazard, strams (Type 3, McDonald Creek), wetlands (along creek), potential eagle habitat.

Landslide Hazard
|
|
Wording
|
| | |
Landslide hazard areas exist on the property. The Jefferson County Interim Critical Areas Ordinance requires that a drainage and erosion control plan be submitted and approved. The drainage and erosion control plan shall discuss, evaluate and recommend methods to minimize sedimentation of adjacent properties during and after construction. Surface drainage shall not be directed across the face of a marine bluff, landslide hazard or ravine. Clearing within geologically hazardous areas shall be allowed only from April 1 to November 1, unless the applicant demonstrates that such activities would not result in impacts contrary to the protection requirements contained within the Critical Areas Ordinance.

Landslide Hazard Area Buffers
|
|
Wording
|
| | |
Buffer areas shall be required to provide sufficient separation between the landslide hazard area and the adjacent proposed project. Buffers shall remain naturally vegetated. Buffers shall be retained in their natural condition. All buffers shall be measured perpendicularly from the top, toe or edge of the landslide hazard area boundary. A standard buffer of thirty (30) feet shall be established from the top, toe and all edges of landslide hazard areas.

Streamside buffers
|
|
Wording
|
| | |
Buffer areas shall be required to provide sufficient separation between the designated stream and the adjacent proposed project. Buffers shall remain naturally vegetated. Buffers shall be retained in their natural condition. All buffers shall be measured perpendicularly from the ordinary high water mark, or the top of the bank where the ordinary high water mark cannot be identified. Streams with adjacent riparian wetland habitats shall be subject to the buffer widths which apply to their wetland class or the standard streamside buffer widths set forth below, whichever is more restrictive. The following standard streamside buffer width whall be applied to each side of the stream: McDonald Creek (Type 3)- 50 Feet.

Wetlands
|
|
Wording
|
| | |
Buffer areas shall be required to provide sufficient separation between the designed wetland and the adjacent proposed project. Buffers shall remain naturally vegetated except where the vegetation has been disturbed, invaded by highly undesirable specied, or would substantially benefit from the increased diversity of introduced species. Our review has identified wetlands located along McDonald Creek. The stream buffer of 50 feet should completely contain these wetlands.
