This isn't super helpful, but if you scroll down to the email with the red highlighted text it talks about each applicant
needing a permit from National Marine Fisheries Service. (NMFS)
Not sure what that entails yet.

Hi Janet,
please research the below issue. See Greg's email below. Greg and Margaret both have a lot of background on this
issue. This is partly tied to our SMP update and partly a larger issue. Thanks.

I - be sure to get Janet assigned to start looking into this soon. The below discussion from Gerry Ervine starts to shed
some light on how the model ordinance will effect Federal Way. Although I'm still not clear on applicability here. Ken
seems to think it has limited applicability because we do not have areas that will meet FEMA's definition of flood
plain/hazard due to insufficient flood flows, velocity and volume. Guess we need to find out.

The language below is excerpted from pages 2 and 3 of the model ordinance. In talking to Graham Anderson at the Port of
Everett, it is unclear how this process will unfold. Under current procedures, the National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) would act as a reviewing agency under Section 7 and Section 10 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) for the
Army Corps of Engineers, and are isolated from direct contact with applicants. The process described below suggests that
NMFS will have direct contact with applicants, and issue approvals to them directly.
If you don't adopt Option # 1 or #2, I would assume NMFS jurisdiction would be limited to the exiting Special Flood
Hazard Area, not including the Channel Migration Zone and expanded Riparian Habitat Zone that they have included in
their newly defined term "Regulatory Floodplain".
The Biological Opinion
A background on how floodplain development can affect habitat is included in Appendix H. On September
22, 2008, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) issued a Biological Opinion that recommended
changes to the implementation of the National Flood Insurance Program in order to meet the
requirements of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in the Puget Sound watershed. Excerpts from the
Opinion are in Appendix E and a checklist for communities is in Appendix G.
"Sic utere tuo ut alienum non laedas"
"So use your own property that you do not
injure another's property."
Courts have followed this maxim, which
characterizes overall landowner rights and
duties'pursuant to common law nuisance,
trespass, strict liability, negligence, riparian
rights, surface water law rights and duties, and
statutory liability. At common law, no
landowner (public or private) has a right to use
his or her land in a manner that substantially
increases flood or erosion damages on
adjacent lands except in a dwindling number of
jurisdictions applying the "common enemy"
doctrine to diffused surface or flood waters.
From No Adverse Impact and The Courts:
Protecting the Property Rights of All
Model Washington NFIP-ESA Ordinance — 3 — January 2010
The Biological Opinion offers two ways to meet the ESA requirement:
1. Prohibit all development in the floodway and other areas.
2. Enact regulations that allow development that meet the criteria specified in the Biological Opinion
by either:
a. Adopting this Model Ordinance, or
b. Enforcing the same requirements in other ordinances, such as the growth management, zoning,
or critical areas regulations.
If a community chooses not to enact regulations under the two options described above, then a third
option of showing compliance with ESA on a permit by permit basis will be required. This will typically
involve requiring applicants for floodplain development permits to develop in the Special Flood Hazard
Area to submit permit applications to the National Marine Fisheries Service. (Emphasis added)
Option 2 is generally preferred by most communities. Option 2.b. may be an easier route for those cities
and counties that have critical area and shoreline management regulations. For those communities, the
checklist in Appendix G can be used to identify if they need to amend their existing regulations to meet
the Biological Opinion's criteria. If the checklist shows that additional regulations need to be adopted,
language from the noted section in the Model Ordinance can be used.
It should be noted that the NFIP regulations (44 CFR 60.3(a)(2)) require participating communities "to
assure that all necessary permits have been received from those governmental agencies from which
approval is required by Federal or State law." Under options 2.a. and b, NFIP communities must ensure
that permit applicants meet the criteria established in the Biological Opinion. If option 3 is chosen, NFIP
communities must ensure that permit applicants have consulted with N.MFS and received approval before
issuing a flood lads iii development permit.. (Emphasis added)

Doug - do you know what is meant by "individual permit option with NMFS" as referenced below? Are we mandated to
do something now under the old endangered species designation via NMFS? I haven't heard anything about this.

I spoke with Karen Mc Kennan at FEMA and she said if you go with the individual permit option with NMFS, no changes
to existing ordinances should be required. She seemed a little uncertain and the two people most familiar with the this
process are out.
She is double checking for me to see if the deadline for comments has been extended. Bellingham said the comments
weren't due until April 8th. I'll let you know what I find out.

Thanks Doug. Do you know what the mandate to cities will be with this model ordinance? Are we required to update
our flood hazard ordinances or is this just regulations that will be administered by FEMA under those permitting
conditions?

Importance: High
ALL: I am writing this e-mail on behalf of my City of Everett folks, but with a suspicion that the concerns Everett is
expressing will be shared by a number of my other cities. Additionally, from a lengthy conversation I had Wednesday
with Gerry Ervine of Everett's planning department, I understand Gerry has spoken to — and picked up similar concerns
from — Bellingham, the Port of Everett, and the WA Public Ports Assn., among others.
The issues involves a Draft Model Ordinance that FEMA has put out with respect to flood plains and flood -plain
development (Kent and Renton folks on this e-mail — my understanding is that this is SEPARATE from, and in addition to,
their mapping process). Draft comments are due back by Monday, April 5, so we are unlikely to be able to affect that
part of the Model Ordinance process much.
However, what Gerry Ervine tells me is that the model is hundreds of pages of long, and with the exception of the very
biggest cities -counties -ports, jurisdictions have very little in the way of staff resources or ability to cover all of this page
by page. Gerry has been part of a group that has met with FEMA and there have been focus groups as well. Gerry has a
whole series of concerns, detailed both below and in the PowerPoint I've attached which he is presenting at an
upcoming Law Seminars International conference on land -use issues. The concerns include:
• Significant conflicts between this Model Ordinance and the tenets of the Growth Management Act;
• A failure to recognize the urban development, working waterfront and water -dependent uses that are part and
parcel of urban communities along the waterfront
• An attempt to re -define flood plains back to "pre -development conditions" — as Gerry notes in his PPT
• A failure to recognize fish -friendly efforts and processes already put into place by jurisdictions
• Significant limitations on public access improvements that would be allowed w/in the flood plain area — in
Everett, which had a major update of its Shoreline Plan and heard a loud hue and cry from residents about
increased public access, this is a major concern
Buffer definitions that don't make sense for some areas, and overall limitations on development area
In short, I think that Everett, and other cities I work for, care a lot about stewardship and resource protection and
habitat protection. But all these factors need to be balanced with allowing for water -dependent uses, public access, and
responsible development in urban areas that have to juggle resource protection goals with those of the GMA.
I am reaching out to this group — cities counties Ports • AWC WSAC and WPPA — because I wonder if we might have
some common themes oafs and obiectives and have some interest in Joining forces. For one thing, perhaps there is a
way to combine forces for legal assistance in going through the entire FEMA Model Ordinance in careful detail, and
summarizing a series of concerns that a whole body, of us could take to FEMA in terms of perhaps reining in the Model.
I am hoping those on this e-mail can look over this information — the PPT, the Model Ordinance links and info below,
etc. — and consult with their technical folks, and let me know whether there is interest in some kind of combined
effort....
Will wait to hear back from folks after they've had a chance to digest this and go through some of the
material.... THANKS!

Doug,
Here is the background and contact info. from FEMA.
I have major concerns about the definition of "development" on page 13 and the definition of "protected area" on page
16 of the model ordinance. The buffers in Section 3.4 do not make sense. I also have problems with requiring
hydrologic and hydraulic studies for floodplains such as Everett's, where a floodway (required to carry flood volume) and
flood fringe (can be filled without causing a one foot rise in flood elevation) are already established.
Section 5.2 requires all new structures to be located outside the Regulatory Floodplain if a lot has buildable area beyond
the floodplain. This does not work for water-dependent/water related uses located on the shoreline. In that same
section the low impact storm drainage requirement may not be practical or feasible.
Section 7.6 requires compensatory storage of flood waters. This issue has already been addressed by FEMA in
establishing a floodway in Everett, is redundant.
Appendix F, sections 4 and 5 spell out the limitations on development in response to the Biological Opinion.

Subject: FEMA Region X Open Comment Period for Draft Biological Opinion Model Ordinance and Regional Guidance
Documents
In September of 2008, The National Marine Fisheries Service issued a Biological Opinion that determined that
implementing the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) causes jeopardy to several species of Puget Sound Salmon
and Orca Whales as well as adverse modification to their habitat. In the Biological Opinion NMFS provided a Reasonable
and Prudent Alternative to modify the implementation of the NFIP in a manner that would remove the jeopardy
situation.
FEMA has been working diligently to produce and execute an implementation plan that was outlined in a letter from
FEMA Headquarters to the NMFS in April 2009. FEMA has produced the model ordinance and other accompanying
documents in accordance with the implementation plan.
The model ordinance and associated documents were developed with the assistance of a focus group representative of
Puget Sound communities, including a tribal community, NMFS, and the Washington Department of Ecology. The intent
of the focus group is to insure that the model ordinance and other documents are useful to those that will be using the
documents. All of the documents are available to be downloaded at: httpalwww.ferna.pov/regionx/nfipesa.shtm.
The model ordinance incorporates a simple and direct set of rules to protect human development from floods while
minimizing the impact of new construction and redevelopment on aquatic and riparian habitat. The ordinance is one of
several options available to local communities to demonstrate ESA compliance, and can be adopted whole cloth, or in
segments to complement existing regulations.
Accompanying the model ordinance are regional guidance documents that provide communities further guidance on
complying with the Biological Opinion.
The Re ionol Guidance for Habitat Assessment and Miti ation is designed to assist qualified habitat
professionals, representing both permit applicants and permit officials, in ensuring that new development will
not adversely impact protected threatened and endangered species or their habitat in flood prone areas.
The Re Tonal Guidance for N droia is and Hydraulic Studies is provided to assist local officials and developers to
determine the most appropriate ways to prepare flood hazard data that meet the requirements of the NFIP and
the ESA.
The CRS Credit for Habitat Protection_ guidebook provides local officials an overview of activities that a
community can receive credit for under the CRS program that encourage good aquatic and riparian habitat
management as well as good floodplain management.
FEMA is currently providing a comment period for anyone to comment on the model ordinance or the accompanying
guidance documents. The comment period will end at close of business April 5, 2010. Please submit comments to
FEMA-RIO-ESAcomments@dhs.gov or via mail to the FEMA Regional office at:
FEMA Region 10
Mitigation Division
ESA Comments
130 228th Street SW
Bothell, WA 98021
Following a NMFS review, and once copies of the final model ordinance, checklists and guidance documents have been
distributed; FEMA will host roll -out workshops and provide additional technical assistance to affected communities on
request.
For more information regarding these documents or questions regarding FEMA's implementation of the Biological
Opinion please contact FEMA-RI0-ESAcomments dhs, ov.

RE: File #12-101282-00-SH; SHORELINE SUBSTANTIAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT EXEMPTION
Shelley, 29635 20'h Place SW, Federal Way
Dear Mr. Jensen:
The Community and Economic Development Department has completed the technical review of the
proposed construction of a detached cabana to be located at 29635 20t' Place SW, Federal Way. The
improvement is within 200 feet of the ordinary high water mark of Puget Sound. The above -referenced
property has been designated `Rural' by the City's Shoreline Master Program (SMP).1
PROPOSAL
The applicant proposes to construct a detached 964 square -foot cabana 53 feet landward from the
ordinary high water mark. The construction proposal includes connecting to the existing on -site septic
system. The site is developed with a single-family residence, a detached garage, and other accessory
structures. The proposed height of the structure does not exceed 30 feet above average building elevation;
grading for the septic upgrades will not exceed 250 cubic yards and will not involve the placement of fill
waterward of the ordinary high water mark.
SHORELINE SUBSTANTIAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT EXEMPTION
Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 173-27-040 identifies actions exempt from the requirements to
obtain a shoreline substantial development permit. WAC 173-27-040(2)(g) exempts, under specific
circumstances, the construction on shorelands by an owner of a single-family residence and normal
appurtenances. Following review of submitted site plans, staff has concluded the proposed improvement
meets the terms of the referenced exemption and is consistent with the policies of the SNIP and the State's
Shoreline Management Act; therefore, a shoreline substantial development permit is not required.
STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (SEPA) EXEMPTION
WAC 197-11-800(1) specifically exempts the construction of any residential structures up to four
dwelling units. The city has determined the proposal is exempt from SEPA review.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1. The ordinary high water mark must be staked prior to footings and setback inspection.
2. All construction work, stockpiling of construction materials, and vehicle access must be landward
of the staked ordinary high water mark.
3. Construction debris shall not be disposed of on the beach.
1 Please note that a new SNIP was adopted in early 2012; however, this permit is vested to the older regulations.
Mr. Jensen

Hi Becky,
I have some background on this, but Isaac said to route this to the duty planner. When you're ready to
start your research, feel free to call to get some background on this property.
Thank you!
