Designated Forest Land

Definition: "Forest land" is synonymous with "designated forest land" and means any parcel of land that is five or more acres or multiple parcels of land that are contiguous and total five or more acres that is or are devoted primarily to growing and harvesting timber. Designated forest land means the land only and does not include a residential home site. The term includes land used for incidental uses that are compatible with the growing and harvesting of timber but no more than ten percent of the land may be used for such incidental uses. It also includes the land on which appurtenances necessary for the production, preparation, or sale of the timber products exist in conjunction with land producing these products. Removal from Designation and Compensating Tax (RCW 84.33.140) The County Assessor shall remove land from forest land designation when any of the following occur: 1. The land owner requests removal; 2. Sale or transfer of the land to an ownership making it exempt from ad valorem taxation (compensating taxes are due and payable by the seller at the time of sale or transfer); 3. Sale or transfer of all or a portion of the land to a new owner, unless the new owner has signed a notice of designation continuance (compensating taxes are due and payable by the seller at the time of sale or transfer). 4. Determination by the assessor, after giving the owner written notice and an opportunity to be heard, that: a. The land is no longer primarily devoted to the growing and harvesting of timber; b. The owner has failed to comply with a final administrative or judicial order with respect to a violation of the restocking, forest management, fire protection, insect and disease control and forest debris provisions under Title 76 RCW; or c. Restocking has not occurred to the extent or within the time specified in the application for designation. Within 30 days the land being removed from designation as forest land, the county assessor will notify the owner in writing, setting forth the reason for removal. The seller, transferor, or owner may appeal the removal to the County Board of Equalization. Compensating tax is due and payable to the county treasurer 30 days after the owner is notified of the amount. The compensating tax due is the difference between the amount of tax last levied on the land under designation and the amount of the new assessed valuation, multiplied by the dollar rate that was last levied against the land, multiplied by the number of years (not to exceed 9) that the land was designated as forest land. The compensating tax is not imposed if the removal of designation resulted solely from: 1. Transfer to a government entity in exchange for other forest land located within the state. 2. A taking through the exercise of the power of eminent domain, or sale or transfer to an entity having the power of eminent domain in anticipation of the exercise of such power based on official action taken by the entity and confirmed in writing.

3. A donation of fee title, development rights, or the right to harvest timber, to a government agency or organization qualified under RCW 84.34.210 and 64.04.130 for the purposes enumerated in those sections. At such time as the land is not used for the purposes enumerated, compensating tax shall be imposed upon the current owner. 4. The sale or transfer of fee title to a governmental entity or a nonprofit nature conservancy corporation, as defined in RCW 64.04.130, exclusively for the protection and conservation of lands recommended for state natural area preserve purposes by the natural heritage council and natural heritage plan as defined in chapter 79.70 RCW or approved for state natural resources conservation area purposes as defined in chapter 79.71 RCW, or for acquisition and management as a community forest trust as defined in chapter 79.155 RCW. At such time as the land is not used for the purposes enumerated, compensating tax shall be imposed upon the current owner. 5. The sale or transfer of fee title to the Parks and Recreation Commission for park and recreation purposes. 6. Official action by an agency of the state of Washington or by the county or city within which the land is located that disallows the present use of such land. 7. The creation, sale, or transfer of forestry riparian easements under RCW 76.13.120. 8. The creation, sale, or transfer of a conservation easement of private forest lands within unconfined channel migration zones or containing critical habitat for threatened or endangered species under RCW 76.09.040. 9. The sale or transfer of land within two years after the death of the owner of at least a fifty percent interest in the land if the land as been assessed and valued as classified forest land, designated as forest land under this chapter, or classified under chapter 84.34 RCW continuously since 1993. The date of death shown on a death certificate is the date used. 10. The discovery that the land was designated in error through no fault of the owner 11. A transfer of a property interest, in a county with a population of more than six hundred thousand inhabitants or in a county with a population of at least two hundred forty-five thousand inhabitants that borders Puget Sound as defined in RCW 90.71.010, to a government entity, or to a nonprofit historic preservation corporation or nonprofit nature conservancy corporation, as defined in RCW 64.04.130, to protect or enhance public resources, or to preserve, maintain, improve, restore, limit the future use of, or otherwise to conserve for public use or enjoyment, the property interest being transferred. At such time as the land is not used for the purposes enumerated, the compensating tax shall be imposed upon the current owner.

Whatcom County Planning & Development Services (PDS). THIS FEASIBILTIY STUDY IS BASED ON RECENT PERSONAL INTERVIEWS WITH PDS STAFF MEMBERS. Until a properly prepared, complete application for a development or building permit is s ubmitted to Whatcom County, neither LSLDC nor PDS cannot absolutely guarantee that all applicable regulations have been investigated. Due to frequent changes in personnel and regulations at PDS our findings can be negated without notice.)

Parcel #’s:

Lot 1 – 370422 458230; Lot 2 – 370422 474285; Lot 3 – 370422 518250

Lot sizes:

Lot 1 ~3.34 acres; Lot 2 ~24.81 acres; Lot 3 ~24.94 acres

Zoning:

Rural Forestry Zone (RF) – One density (house) per 20 acres. These parcels appear to have 1 density each.

SMP Designation: “Resource” Shoreline Program Management Area Legal Lot:

Water Supply:

Lot 1 was created by Boundary Line Adjustment and judicial decree in 2008 under Whatcom County case #EXE2008-00179. Lots 2 and 3 were created by Boundary Line Adjustment in 1999 under Whatcom County case #EXE199900272. After extensive research and discussions with Craig Ostrom, County planner, each parcel appears to be one legal lot for use or for sale.

According to a record of survey done by Ayers Consulting (see attached), there is an existing well on Lot 3. However, no records of it could be found at the Whatcom County Health Department. If the well is still there, in order for it to be used, it must be legally approved by the Health Department. At this time, due to the Hirst decision made by the Washington State Supreme Court, no private wells may be used to obtain a building permit unless it can be proven that extracting water from that well will not impair senior water rights, including established instream flows. So far, we have not heard of any way to do that that would not be cost prohibitive to development. The State Legislature is working on a bill that would allow for wells to be used for development. The State Senate passed the bill and we are now waiting for the House to pass it.

land development~~~~ consulting for~~~~ whatcom county An alternative to drilling or using a well is to install a rainwater catchment system. These systems must be prepared by an engineer and we have seen them cost between $15,000 to 20,000. The cost usually depends on how big the roof on the house is and how much water storage will be needed. If there is no fire flow in the area (there most likely isn’t) then the fire marshal’s office will require some additional water storage to be used only in case of a fire. Sewage Disposal:

Any habitable development will require Health Department approval of a private on-site septic system (OSS). According to the USDA soils survey (see attached), the southern area and most developable part of the lots consists of Squalicum Gravelly Loam, 15-30% slopes. This a moderately well drained and non-hydric soil type and most likely would support a septic system. It would be necessary to hire licensed drainfield designer to confirm this.

Stormwater: These parcels are located in the Lake Whatcom Watershed and is subject to all Stormwater regulations under WCC20.51.420 (see attached code citation). All stormwater runoff from land disturbance related to a building permit must be retained on site either through infiltration or dispersion.

Shorelines:

Access, Driveway & Easements:

These parcels are located within the Shoreline Management jurisdiction. Any development within 200 feet of the shoreline will require a shoreline permit as well as a building permit.

The Ayers survey does show an access easement over parts of Lots 2 and 3. However, the survey notes that the easement is “not of record”, meaning that it was never recorded with the Whatcom County Auditor. Neither we nor the title company could find any documentation of that easement. No other easements were found. Access to all 3 lots is off of Blue Canyon Road. In order to determine what driveway requirements are necessary, a topographic survey would be needed. Due to the steep slopes, this information is necessary as the slope will determine what kind of driveway will be needed. Any slopes over 12% will require paving, while any slopes over 15% will require brushed concrete. According the County Public Works division, any proposed access and driveway would need to apply for a Revocable Encroachment Permit (REP) and Land Disturbance Permit (LDP). Topographic surveys can range from $2,000 to $4,000 and up.

land development~~~~ consulting for~~~~ whatcom county Critical Areas: Wetlands – According to the Whatcom County Critical Areas map, there appears to be a very limited amount of wet areas on the parcels. There is a creek in the very northwest corner of Lot 2 and a couple of drainage courses on the upper portion of Lots 2 and 3. These areas may not affect the ability to log the parcels or build homes. However, to confirm this, a wetland study would need to be completed by a certified wetland biologist and approved by Whatcom County. It is our recommendation to wait to conduct such study until a building permit is applied for. Geological Hazards – According to Whatcom County’s Critical Areas map, all 3 lots appear to contain steep slopes greater than 15%. There does appear to be areas along Blue Canyon Road that show slopes less than 15%. According to the Critical Areas planner, any development that takes place will require a geotechnical evaluation or study. These studies, as of the date noted above, can range anywhere between $1,500 and 3,000. Railroad:

The abandoned railroad is privately owned by Frank Culp of Lake Whatcom Railway. It is assumed that he owns whatever is on the parcel of land including the tracks and trestles.

Taxes:

Currently the parcels are taxed residential. According to the Whatcom County Assessor’s Office, these parcels would be eligible to apply for drastically reduced taxes. A Timber Management Plan would need to be prepared by a certified Arborist (see below for more information). The timber plan along with an application for Designated Forest Land would need to be submitted to the Assessor’s Office. The current fee for this is $200. (see attached application)

Timber:

To figure out the value of the timber on the parcels, an appraisal would need to be done by a certified forester. I spoke with Aubrey Stargell, a certified Arborist and Forester, and he could do an appraisal of the entire 3 lots for $2,200. He also does Timber Plans and his fees usually range from $800 – 1,200 and up.

Potential Development: It is our professional opinion that each lot is eligible to apply for a building permit for a single family home. Because the lots are located within the Lake Whatcom Watershed, they are not eligible for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU). Best Use(s): Until a timber appraisal is completed, it is difficult to say what the highest and best use for the parcels is. If the parcels contain high value timber, they may be better marketed to timber and logging companies. If there is a lot of nonharvestable trees or young growth trees, advertising them as residential view lots could be the best option.

(a) Unless otherwise exempt per subsection (1) of this section, or unless a standard land use vesting determination concludes otherwise, all projects, work, or activities, including subdivisions, binding site plans, and nonexempt new short subdivision parcels, proposed to occur within the Lake Whatcom Watershed Overlay District shall incorporate presumptive BMPs and/or demonstrative BMPs, per subsection (2)(c) and/or (2)(d) of this section, respectively, to: (i) All project, work, or activity affected: (A) Net land area disturbed (per Chapter 20.97 WCC definition), and/or (B) Newly created and/or replaced: 1. Net new impervious surface area (per Chapter 20.97 WCC definition), and/or 2. Net replaced impervious surface area (per Chapter 20.97 WCC definition), and/or 3. Net new permeable pavement area (per Chapter 20.97 WCC definition), and/or 4. Net replaced permeable pavement area (per Chapter 20.97 WCC definition), and/or (ii) Existing off-parcel phosphorus-unmitigated areas and/or on-parcel phosphorus-unmitigated areas within the entire Lake Whatcom watershed at a 2:1 ratio of phosphorus-unmitigated area to the corresponding project, work, or activity affected area(s) that subsections (2)(a)(i)(A) and (B) of this section outline. (iii) The developable areas and infrastructure as required for long and short subdivision approval. A stormwater management plan for developable areas and required infrastructure, consistent with the 2012 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington, is required prior to preliminary plat approval. Installation of required BMPs for infrastructure is required prior to final plat approval. (b) The development stormwater runoff (per Chapter 20.97 WCC definition) phosphorus loading profile from each phosphorus-mitigated area noted in subsections (2)(a)(i) and (ii) shall not exceed the corresponding natural stormwater runoff (per Chapter 20.97 WCC definition) phosphorus loading profile from each respective phosphorus-mitigated area. (c) Presumptive BMPs (per Chapter 20.97 WCC Definition). Presumptive BMPs, which are combinable with each other and with demonstrative BMPs, follow:

land development~~~~ consulting for~~~~ whatcom county (i) Full Infiltration and Downspout Full Infiltration. See the 2012 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington BMP T5.10A, Volume III, Section 3.1.1 and Volume III, Chapter III, Section 3.3.9(A). Use of these BMPs may require an engineered design (per Chapter 20.97 WCC definition). (ii) Full Dispersion. See current Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington, Volume V, Chapter 5, BMP T5.30. This BMP might, but does not necessarily, require an engineered design. See the 2012 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington, Volume V, Chapter 5, pages 5-30 through 5-38, for further design requirements and infeasibility criteria. (d) Demonstrative BMPs (per Chapter 20.97 WCC Definition). Demonstrative BMPs, which are combinable with each other and with presumptive BMPs, use engineered designs that, once constructed or installed, and presuming that system preservation activities occur as prescribed by the design engineer, will satisfy the 2012 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington Minimum Requirements numbers 3 through 9, disregarding any Minimum Requirement applicability thresholds therein, while also conforming to at least one of the following: (i) The engineered design limits the estimated phosphorus loading in development stormwater runoff to less than 0.1875 lb of P/acre/year. Engineered designs shall cite and use only WSDOE-approved references for estimated phosphorus loading information and criteria. (ii) The monthly development stormwater runoff volume does not exceed the monthly natural stormwater runoff volume of the project, work, or activity affected areas, as determined by a WSDOEapproved continuous runoff model. (iii) Development stormwater runoff does not occur. (3) System Recording, Protection, and Maintenance. A declaration of covenant shall be recorded for each property where permanent stormwater BMPs exist. The covenant is used to protect the stormwater management facilities from cover by structures or impervious material, soil compaction, and damage by soil removal and grade alteration. A draft of the proposed covenant must be reviewed and approved by Whatcom County prior to recording. All required covenants must be recorded prior to final permit issuance for the proposed project. (a) Notice on Title. For all permanent stormwater facilities, the type of stormwater system and location shall be recorded with the county auditor real estate records in a format similar to the recording documents in Whatcom County Development Standards, Chapter 2, Section 221. The recording document provides notice to future owners of the presence of stormwater system on the lot, and shall contain: (i) A site plan to scale, showing the location and descriptions of stormwater facilities, treatment BMPs, terrain features, protective native growth areas, and stormwater flowpaths. (ii) Notice of the property owner’s responsibility to retain, uphold, and protect the devices, features, pathways, protective native growth areas, and operate and maintain BMPs at the owner’s expense.

For projects that utilize dispersion for their stormwater system, a protected native growth area covenant shall be required to: (i) Include native plant species including, but not limited to, those on approved lists provided by Whatcom County common to this region. (ii) Be described in the recorded documents as “a Protected Native Growth Area established for the purposes of dispersing and treating stormwater flows.” (iii) Retain all vegetation and trees within the PNGA at the time of permit application aside from approved timber harvest activities and the removal of hazardous and diseased trees (as defined in Chapter 20.97 WCC), an evaluation and determination by an ISA licensed arborist may be required. (iv) The PNGA can include on-site critical areas and its buffer. (v) Limit uses in the PNGA to those specified in Chapter 16.16 WCC. (vi) Provide a notice of activity, consistent with WCC 16.16.235, to remove trees within a PNGA when a permit is not required by subsection (1) of this section, under the following circumstances: (A) Fire prevention methods when supported by the county fire marshal; (B) Hazard trees, as defined in Chapter 20.97 WCC, are identified (an evaluation and determination by a licensed arborist may be required); (C) Encroachments where the trunk, branches, or roots would be or are in contact with main or accessory structures; or (D) Where installation and/or maintenance of roads or utilities would unavoidably require removal or cutting through the root system.
