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: ARBORISTS REPORT
Wording THE ARBORISTS REPORT DATED June 24, 2008 IDENTIFIES EACH TREE NUMERICALLY WITH SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EACH TREE. THE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE LISTED BELOW: PHOTO #1 F1: DOUGLAS FIR recently pruned by one neighbor, though the pruning appears to be below the limit of 25% of the live foliage. One branch will be removed. PHOTO #1, F2, F5, F6 AND F11: DOUGLAS FIRS can be windowed or have their crowns raised, though removed foliage should not exceed 25% of the live crown area. PHOTO #3, A1: ALDER be maintained by cutting it at or below the level of the rim of the slope. As this is a young and healthy tree, it can be done with little or no adverse effects on slope stability. PHOTO #4, MADRONES to be pruned. Only small branches (1/4 the size of the limb or trunk it is attached to) be removed, and no moer than 15% of the Madrones live foliage be removed. PHOTO #8, BITTER CHERRIES (WC1, WC2, and WC3) which originate below the rim of the slope. These trees can be maintained the same as the RED ALDER, as a shrub. THE EXISTING GROUNDCOVERS AROUND THE BASES OF THE TREES CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY PRUNNED AND MAINTAINED AT A HEIGHT OF 24 INCHES.

Title: SPURLESS CLIMBING OF TREES
Wording ANY CLIMBING TO BE DONE IN SAID TREES SHOULD BE DONE SPURLESS UNLESS IT POSSES A RISK TO THE CLIMBER.

Title: Slide Buffer-Native Vegetation
Wording Landslide Hazard Areas and their associated buffers shall remain naturally vegetated. Should buffer disturbance occur during construction, the Unified Development Code (UDC) Administrator shall require replanting with native vegetation. No alterations shall be made to the Landslide Hazard Area or its associated buffer without prior authorization by the UDC Administrator.

Title: Permanent Landslide Boundary
Wording The applicant shall permanently separate the boundary of the Landslide Hazard Area Buffer from the remainder of the subject property through installing logs, trees, a hedge row, or any other prominent physical marking approved by the UDC Administrator.

Title: Aquifer Recharge Conditions (SFR)
Wording Critical Aquifer Recharge Areas may require special protection measures to mitigate water quality degradation. The submitted proposal does not require additional aquifer protection measures. However, during construction the project shall follow the Best Management Practices (BMPs) and facility design standards as identified and defined in the Stormwater Management Manual for the Puget Sound Basin.

Title: Seawater Intrusion Areas
Wording To help prevent seawater from intruding landward into underground aquifers, all new development activity on Marrowstone Island, Indian Island and within 1/4 mile of any marine shoreline shall be required to infiltrate all stormwater runoff onsite.

Title: BMPs
Wording The project shall adhere to the Best Management Practices (BMPs) to control stormwater, erosion and sediment during construction. BMPs shall address permanent measures to stabilize soil exposed during construction, and in the design and operation of stormwater and drainage control systems.


Case Findings
Below is a list of findings for this permit case. Findings typically record facts that the staff are using as the basis of their permit processing decisions.
Title: F-ARBORISTS REPORT
Wording An arborists report dated June 24, 2008 prepared by Richard Hefley was submitted as requested by Jefferson County. The report addressed the proposed trimming of each tree and has specific recommendations to each tree based on its species. The recommendations are incorporated as conditions of this permit approval.

Title: F-Confirmed ESAs
Wording The application was reviewed by the Jefferson County Department of Community Development staff on August 28, 2008 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: conservancy/suburban shoreline designation; unstable/unstable recent slide shoreline slope stability;eagle; landslide hazard area 3; sarpa & susc aquifer recharge area; coastal SIPZ.

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-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-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-Approval for _____ Only
Wording This approval is for a vegetation trimming application 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: ZONING
Wording The parcel has been designated as RR 1:5 under the Jefferson County Comprehensive Land Use Map effective August 28, 1998.
