§ 24.05.100. Recordation—Critical areas on property—Notice.
Latest version.
For a development proposal that does not involve the division of land where critical
areas have been identified, the owner of a lot with a critical area and/or buffer
shall record a notice and map on the title with the Thurston County Auditor that identifies
the critical area location. This notice and map is not required if a preexisting notice
has already been recorded that identifies the critical area in the same location.
The applicant shall submit proof that any required notice and map have been filed
for recording as a prerequisite to permit approval. The notice and map shall be approved
by the director prior to recordation, and, shall at a minimum, include a map and legal
description of the critical area, and a notice substantially similar to the following:
"Prior to and during the course of any grading, building construction or other development
activity on this property containing or abutting a critical area, the area of development
activity must be fenced or otherwise marked to the satisfaction of Thurston County.
The critical area shall be maintained in its existing condition, except as provided
for by Title 24 of the Thurston County Code, the Critical Areas Ordinance. Yard waste, debris, fill,
equipment, vehicles, and materials shall not be placed in the critical area."
