Dear Applicant Pursuant to your application, a site pre-inspection (SPI)was performed on your property. Below you will find comments made regarding the proposed development and its critical values. In some cases, setbacks for development from shorelines, steep slopes, streams, and wetlands must be included in your specific proposal; these setbacks are included as part of the comments listed below. This information is based on County and State regulations as they exist to date. These regulations may change and may affect the requirements for development of the subject property. Please contact me at(360) 427-9670, ext 365 if you have questions. Sincerely, Allan Borden Land Use Planner Mason County Planning Department 5/18/2006 1 of 3 SP12006-00089 Site Inspection 5/18/2006 Case No.: SP12006-00089 Comments: Site visit made on April 26, 2006 to note the location and situation regarding fill and culvert placed on Collins Lake Lot 69 in 1995 and 1996 during water system work (water tank especially). Staff observed the culvert and fill remains as placed in a seasonal drainage which provided access to new Collins Lake water tank. The general observations are that the situation looks much like it did in the summer and fall 1996 when I wrote a letter to the engineering company with concerns about the placement of the culvert and fill. The advice of that October 1996 letter was not followed up [the actions to take, such as needed adjustments to the culvert and the fill placed for the road, and potential erosion downstream by the culvert], and the cautions about holding back runoff and affecting up-channel properties appear to recur with subsequent winters' rains. The seasonal drainage course, which heads from the east (lot 70) through lot 69 and to the west, has fill in front of the culvert, and the culvert itself is positioned to block normal runoff that occurred prior to the fill placement. This placement retains runoff water in the area of several lots east of this culvert. The site is well vegetated with large evergreen and deciduous trees and shrubs adjacent to the drainage and surrounding properties. The slopes of 8 to 12 percent on the south side of the property, sloping to the north to northwest down to adjacent properties. There seems to be an impact in the removal of trees undertaken during the site preparation for the water tank and access drive. Trees removed at that time have created an open area that subjects the properties with tree cover to the east and west to greater wind impacts and, with the more saturated soils, produces conditions for trees to fall. This fact is supported by the property owner information and photos of leaning and fallen trees, shown to staff at the site visit. The property is located in the Inholding Lands designation. Standard building setbacks for this area are a 25-foot front yard or road setback and 20-foot side and rear line setbacks. These setbacks are measured from structures that are 30 inches above grade such as roof overhangs (roof gutters), stairs, balconies, decks, heat pumps etc. An administrative variance may be requested to reduce these setback distances from property lines, to as low as 10 feet (front yard) or 5 feet (side yard), if the size, shape, or features of the property constrain development from the proper setbacks. This process requires application and review at the time of the building permit submittal. 5/18/2006 2 of 3 SP12006-00089 Site Inspection 5/18/2006 Case No.: SP12006-00089 Landslide hazard areas: Due to the less than 15 percent slopes at the rear of the site, the development of the property would not require that a geologic study be prepared prior to development permit review and issuance. Stream setbacks: The drainage channel observed would not be considered a type 5 stream, so stream buffers and setbacks would not be required for further site development. The presence of an open channel drainage must be considered and integrated in any development proposal, especially for the residence, septic, or road improvements. The drainage provides a valuable attribute to the character of the property (running water, existing trees and shrubs, and animal habitat for this and adjacent lots). General process: A site plan, showing all setbacks from property lines, slopes, drainage, or other improvements will be needed for building permit application submittal. County development standards referred to may be obtained from the County website at http://www.co.mason.wa.us. and then look for Community Development.

BOX 578 1864 SHELTON,WA 98584 • (360) 427-9670 October 31, 1996 EEHIBIT ADA Engineering Mr. Robert Gatz 371 NW Lindvig Way Poulsbo, Washington 98370 RE: Road to Water Tank on Lot 69, Collins Lake Dear Mr. Gatz: This letter is to inform you that a road located on Lot 69, Collins Lake in 1995 to provide an access for a large water storage tank was placed in a seasonal drainage channel. This fill has blocked the natural flows along this channel from six properties to the east of Lot 69 . Equally important to the improper location of the access in a seasonal drainage is the fact that an inadequate 12-inch metal culvert was placed in this fill by a project contractor. The issue of the fill should have been addressed by a land modification (grading) permit, in addition to the building permit, since nearly 5000 cu. yds. of material was used to fill an area larger than the tank site and the grading included the need to fill in the drainage. That work has been done, but the issue of the inadequate sized culvert still needs to be corrected. The small size of the culvert creates ponding uphill of the culvert and has caused flooding and the falling of trees on the property improvements made by the neighbor (Sayers) . There is also the threat of saturation of the access route fill by the ponding upstream. The small culvert now in the fill may also cause high velocity flows to exit the culvert and cut into the fill below the access (small cross-sectional area of the pipe compresses the flows and increases the flow velocity) . Such bank saturation and cutting will cause failure of the access and unnecessary sedimentation in the drainage channel farther downstream. Such potential damage to this and neighboring properties is to be avoided. You and your contractor should work in a cooperative manner to promptly resolve the problems of ponding and erosion that have occurred in the past year and as this year's fall and winter rains arrive. A necessary action is the replacement of the undersized culvert and placement within the channel in a manner r.2cy to continue the natural drainage without ponding (at the level of the drainage channel on Lot 70) . You should protect the downslope face of the fill with matting or 'rock to protect from surface erosion and the runoff out of the culvert. These actions are typical practices done during grading and filling projects, as you have noted in the environmental checklist for the water tank project. If you have other questions, please contact me in the Department of Community Development at (360) 427-9670 or 275-4467 ext. 365.
