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.286 if you have questions. Sincerely, Scott Lonclanecker Land Use Planner Mason County Planning Department 4/23/2004 1 of 3 SP12004-00090 ` Site Inspection 4/23/2004 Case No.: SP12004-00090 Comments: Pre-inspection for Foster and Williams / Lessard site: Note: While on-site it was observed by staff that recent clearing / grading had occurred within the shoreline buffer of Mason Lake a violation of the Mason County Resource Ordinance, section 17.01.110). No further site preparation work shall be done prior to this violation being resolved. The owner should contact Kristin French, Planning Code Enforcement (360) 427-9670 ext. 593, regarding how to resolve this matter. Rural Residential 5 zoning designation. Standard building setbacks for this zoning are a 25 foot front yard setback, and 20 foot side and rear yard setback. The exception to this is for lots less than one acre and under 100 feet in width. In this case side yard setbacks are equal to 10% of the lot width, but no less than 5 feet. These setbacks are measured from portions of structures above grade such as roof overhangs, and any structure, including heat pumps etc. Other setbacks can apply when critical areas are present such as streams, wetlands, steep slopes etc. The shoreline designation for the area is Urban. The purposed of the pre-inspection was to evaluate issues related to the residential development of a vacant lot on the Mason Lake shoreline. The subject lot has been cleared of nearly all vegetation and trees and consists primarily of bare ground up the shore line. Under current requirements a minimum 20-foot vegetated shoreline buffer is require, plus 15-foot building setback, although in this case a slightly larger buffer may be required (see below). The shoreline on-site should be re-vegetated / replanted as soon as possible in order to ensure that silt laden storm water does not reach waters of the state. Silt screen fencing has been installed near the shoreline. Shorelines: In this situation there are other shoreline residences on both sides, so the shoreline setback is determined by the shore common line, as long as a minimum 20-foot buffer, plus 15-foot building setback is maintained. Per the Mason County Resource Ordinance section 17.01.110 (enclosed) the shoreline setback / buffer would be determined by an imaginary line drawn from the most waterward projection of the roofline of the home to the north to most waterward projection of the roofline of the home to the south. The first 15-feet of this shoreline setback is regulated as a building setback, and the remainder a natural shoreline buffer, as long as there is a minimum 20-foot buffer and 15-foot building setback at any point along the shoreline. As previously mentioned, some recent work, grading and clearing of vegetation and possible tree removal was done within this 4/23/2004 2 of 3 SP12004-00090 Site Inspection 4/23/2004 Case No.: SP12004-00090 shoreline buffer area. Slopes / geological hazards: The slopes on site and near the shoreline appear to be between 15 - 18%. Due to slopes greater than 15% adjacent to or within 300 feet of the project a Geological Assessment will need to be done to address slope stability and the other requirements of the enclosed landslide hazard chapter 17.01.100 section E. 4. The report must state that hazards related to landslide hazard areas can be overcome in such a manner as to prevent harm to property p p p y and public health and safety, and must also assure the project will cause no significant environmental impact. See Mason County Code 17.01.100, E7. If any grading / excavation is proposed in or near slopes a grading plan will be needed to show any proposed topographical changes, cuts, retaining walls etc. The Geological Assessment should also address storm water, erosion control and vegetation management on-site. Wetlands: A wetland edge associated with Mason Lake was observed on-site. A wetland delineation will be needed to determine the regulatory status of this wetland area and required buffers / setbacks. A list of wetland consultants is enclosed, although you may use others not listed. No other critical areas were identified on site. If you have any questions please feel free to call.

Examination of undisturbed nearby areas indicates that the removed vegetation most likely consisted of shrubs and groundcovers including salal,evergreen huckleberry, snowberry and sword fern.The plan calls for replanting snowberry and evergreen huckleberry. Sword fern and salal were not included in the replanting plan because they require shade to become reestablished on a disturbed site, and the existing conditions are too sunny. (For more information, see the"Plants that need shade"section of the Species Selection Guide on our web site,www.soundnativeplants.com.)Instead,other appropriate native species that can thrive in the sun were selected. For example, kinnikinnik and wild strawberry ground covers were specified instead of salal. All the chosen plant species are common western Washington lowland natives that would typically grow in similar sites. Please call me if you have any other questions.

I'm going to actually purchase a performance bond rather than having the money set aside for three years. Are there guidelines telling me the type or terms of this type of bond?

Restoration Plan 2. Restoration Bond,and 3. Restoration Plan Review and Tracking Fee($360) i We have a standardized Bond Form that I can fax or mail to you, let me know which you prefer and what fax#or address to use. The bond is a frozen f fund account held by your financial institution for a period of three years-your financial institution completes the form and it is notarized and submitted to the County. The bond amount is based on a reasonable, formal estimate for the costs associated with implementation of the plan. Your consultant should provide that estimate for you. The plan should incorporate a provision for professional review of the site one time annually for three years following plan submittal. The professional is responsible for submitting an annual report to the County for review. The bond is released after three years if the restoration efforts are successful. You can submit the Bond form, Restoration Plan and $360 either by mail (ATTN: Kristin French, PO Box 279 Shelton, WA 98584)or in person at the Permit Assistance Center, Mason County Building III.

I dropped them off at the Sound Native Plants (wetlands people)office. I was reading some of it. There is a reference to my having to obtain a bond to insure that I will replant. 4 Kristin French- Re: SP12004-00090 Page 2 Do you know anything about these?

Thanks Keith Lessard i r 4 r i' i i Kristin French- Re: SP12004-00090 Pa e 1 From: Kristin French To: keith lessard Date: 6/15/04 4:26PM Subject: Re: SP12004-00090 Keith, I have to agree-this concept needs to be made much more user-friendly. I'll give a shot at providing clarification: Create an imaginary line that runs FROM the watermost eave of the existing residence on the left of your parcel TO the watermost eave of the existing residence on the right of your parcel. This creates LINE 1. Once you have a clear idea of where LINE 1 runs, pick some points along the line and measure WATERWARD 15'. Those new points create a separate line(LINE 2)that is the boundary line for the regulated"buffer." All of the land from this line to the water is subject to"buffer"regulations. The difference between line 1 and line 2 is as follows: Line 1 represents the"building setback"line. No improvements (except for a slab at grade)can project waterward of this"building setback"line. Improvements such as a slab at grade or lawn can exist forward (waterward)of Line 1, but must stop at Line 2. Line 2 represents the edge of the regulated shoreline buffer,and the concept is that native, undisturbed vegetation should exist in the regulated buffer. If you have questions about what can and can't occur in the buffer, refer to Mason County Resource Ordinance section 17.01.110-you consultant might also be of help. Hope this makes some sense!

I know I know. I think I have it figured out then I think of something else that confuses me.They need to make this easier for us simple folks. ha. Here we go: Buffer is 25'from the water. No problem here. Setback is an additional 15'beyond that. No problem here. Now the line between the front of the two adjacent houses is back,say another 10', 1 understand that this adds onto the other.So you have 25+ 15+ 10=50'. No problem here. But, does the additional 10 feet increase the size of the buffer or the size of the setback? As I read Chapter 7.16.080, page 31,#9a, it would appear that it increases the size of the setback. Scott Longanecker, in his report, page 2 of 3 bottom paragraph, seems to be increasing the size of the buffer. Could you clarify this point for me.
