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: ACCESS/ADDRESS
Wording An address of 92 North Water Street, Port Hadlock has been assigned to the parcel. North Water Street is a county local access (C652809).

Title: F-CAO/SMP
Wording Due to a recent Washington State Supreme Court Case: Futurewise v. WA State DCTED, Ecology, Case #80396-0, the Critical Areas Ordinance (Chapter 18.22, JCC) does not apply to development within Shoreline jurisdiction. Only the Jefferson County Shoreline Management Master Program (Chapter 18.25, JCC) applies to development within 200 feet of the OHWM.

Title: F-VESTED ZONING
Wording The SPAAD application (ZON09-00075) was submitted to Jefferson County DCD on June 16, 2009 and substantially complete on July 14, 2009. Jefferson County adopted Ordinance No. 03-0323-09 on March 23, 2009, approving urban development standards within the Irondale/Port Hadlock Urban Growth Area (UGA). The Interim UGA zoning desigates this parcel as "urban-commercial." The current (1998 Comp Plan) zoning designation for this parcel is Rural Residential one unit per five acres (RR 1:5).

Title: F-Confirmed ESAs
Wording The application was reviewed by the Jefferson County Department of Community Development staff on August 3, 2009 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: urban shoreline designation; unstable shoreline slope stability; seismic; flood; SUSC aquifer rehcarge 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-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 revised site plan submitted on February 26, 2013 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 March 5, 2013 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 SPAAD 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. The application as submitted on June 16, 2009 is designated as UGA: Urban-Commerical designation under the Interim Ordinance No. 03-0323-09 approved on March 23, 2009.

Title: RES COV-IRONDALE SAN SEWER
Wording A Restrictive Covenant for Irondale/Hadlock Sanitary Sewer System No Protest Agreement was recorded on July 22, 2009 under AFN 545143 with the Jefferson County Auditor.

Title: F-General PMT Notice
Wording NOTICE: This permit does not excuse the proponent from complying with other local, state, and federal ordinances, regulations, or statutes applicable to the proposed development, but consistent with RCW 90.58. Development pursuant to this permit shall be undertaken subject to the applicable policies and performance standards of the Jefferson County Shoreline Management Master Program and the Jefferson County Unified Development Code. If during excavation or development of the site an area of potential archaeological significance is uncovered, all activity in the immediate area shall be halted, and the Administrator shall be notified at once. The Federal Endangered Species Act rules to protect threatened Chinook and Summer-run Chum salmon became effective on January 8, 2001. Bull trout have been listed as threatened since early 2000. Under the ESA, any person may bring lawsuit against any individual or agency that "takes" listed species (defined as causing harm, harassing, or damaging habitat for the listed species). In addition, the National Marine Fisheries Service can levy penalties. All areas in Jefferson County are included as "critical habitat" for a listed species. Development of property along any marine shoreline, freshwater shoreline, or floodplains could harm habitat if protective measures are not taken. To minimize the potential to damage habitat, all property owners developing adjacent to marine shoreline, freshwater shoreline, or floodplains are advised to do the following: - All development activities should avoid unstable slopes, wetlands, and forested areas near surface waters - Remove minimal vegetation for site development, especially large trees - Allow trees that have fallen into surface waters to remain there - Infiltrate stormwater from buildings and driveways onsite through drywells rather than discharging directly into surface waters or roadside ditches Any individual, group, or agency can bring suit for a listed species "taking", even if you are in compliance with Jefferson County development codes. The risk of a lawsuit against you can be reduced by consulting with a professional fisheries habitat biologist, and following the recommendations for site development provided by the biologist. For more information, contact the National Marine Fisheries Service in Seattle, or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Title: F-Consistent with UDC
Wording The proposal was reviewed against the site plan determination criteria of the Unified Development Code (Section 8.7). The criteria for approval is as follows: 1. The proposed site plan conforms to all applicable county, state, and federal land use, environmental and health regulations and plans, including but not limited to the following: The Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan and the provisions of the Unified Development Code. Staff comment: The application was reviewed for consistency under the provisions of the Unified Development Code, Comprehensive Plan, and Shoreline Master Program. The application was found in compliance with all ordinances pertaining to the proposed development. 2. Adequate provisions for utilities and other public services necessary to serve the needs of the proposed site plan have been demonstrated, including open spaces, drainage ways, roads, and other public ways, potable water, sewerage disposal, fire flow and other improvements. Staff comment: The parcels total approximately .39 acres, and the site plan as submitted complies with UDC Table 6-1: Density, Dimension and Open Space Standards. The soil test pits were reviewed by Environmental Health and approved for a septic system on site. The parcel will be served by the Quimper public water system. Potable water is required at time of building permit application. The SPAAD does not vest for potable water. An address of 3443 Oak Bay Road, Port Hadlock has been assigned to the parcel. The approved site plan has not been reviewed for stormwater requirements. Sections JCC 18.30.060 and JCC 18.30.070 of the Jefferson County Code requires the project applicant prepare a stormwater plan in compliance with the Department of Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington to control stormwater, erosion and sediment during construction, to address permanent measures to stabilize soil exposed during construction, and in the design and operation of stormwater and drainage control systems. The SPAAD was not reviewed for fire flow due to the application as proposed identifies the parcel as utilizing a well. Jefferson County has no specific adopted fire flow requirements for utilization in permitting. Application of Coordinated Water System Plan (CWSP) fire flow requirements for individual projects is inappropriate since the primary purpose is for water system design to assure adequate pipe size, source and storage. 3. The probable significant adverse environmental impacts of the proposed site plan, together with any practical means of mitigating adverse impacts, have been considered such that the proposal will not have an unacceptable adverse effect upon the quality of the environment, in accordance with the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) implementing the provisions contained within Section 8 of this Code and Chapter 43.21C RCW. Staff comment: Single family residences are EXEMPT from the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). WAC 197-11-800(1)(b)(i) identifies the construction of any residential structure of four (4) dwelling units. 4. Approving the proposed site plan will serve the public use and interest and adequate provision has been made for the public health, safety and general welfare. Staff comment: The proposal will not affect the public health, safety, and general welfare.

Title: F-Septic-Conceptual Plan
Wording The soils report enclosed with the SPAAD application supports a finding that an onsite sewage system can be installed on the property in the area evaluated. The designer preparing the SPAAD report offered a conceptual design for an onsite sewage system. However, a complete design package was not reviewed. This SPAAD approval DOES NOT constitute approval of this design and there may be other options available at the time of application for a septic permit. The proposed system location is in a susceptible aquifer recharge area and shall comply with provision of the UDC 18.22.100 and 18.30.180 for the onsite sewage system.
