10. 9:15 a.m. Public Hearings and Items Set for a Certain Time
Please see above options to provide public testimony. These options are available only while COVID-19 OPMA
meeting restrictions are in place.
10.1 Public Hearing to consider the map correction of the official Development Areas (Zoning) Map EXV\hk B/
panel 8 of 10 for parcel # 32026-10-90021 (1-acre) from Rural Natural Resource (RNR) to 2�21_pGJ�
Rural Residential 5 (RR5). Staff: Kell Rowen
Kell shared the rezone request was made by the property owner. When Marissa Watson
began the staff report, she realized there was a map error and the parcel should have been
zoned as Rural Residential from the beginning. The parcel was divided in 1989 and the early
1990's was when implementing zoning and designating the resource lands was done. This will
be processed as staff processing and fees were reimbursed. The Planning Commission
acknowledged and recommended approval due to the mapping error.
Cmmr. Shutty/Trask moved and seconded to approve consider the map
correction of the official Development Areas (Zoning) Map panel 8 of 10 for
parcel # 32026-10-90021 (1-acre) from Rural Natural Resource (RNR) to Rural
Residential 5 (RR5). Motion carried unanimously. N-aye; S-aye; T-aye.
10.2 Public Hearing to approve the request to rezone three parcels (32007-14-90024, 32007-14- Ci
90021, and 32007-14-90034) from Neighborhood Residential (NR) to Commercial Industrial
(CI). Staff: Kell Rowen
Kell shared that the three parcels are adjacent to each other and existing commercial industrial
properties along Johns Prairie Road. There is access off of Hiawatha Road and the applicant
owns a portion of the private easement. There is also direct access from Johns Prairie Road.
The Planning Commission recommended approval with the caveat that commercial truck
access be restricted from the Hiawatha Road access. This can be done and documented as a
condition of the rezone with notice given to permit staff and enforced by a Code Enforcement
Officer. Mason County Code requires that, if rezoned, the parcels must have a 15-foot
minimum vegetated buffer. Currently there is native vegetation which the applicant will be
2 August 31 , 2021 Commission Minutes
required to maintain and/or replant. The size of the buffer can be increased as a condition of
the rezone. Conditioning rezones can be difficult since there is a gray area and a legal issue if
the applicant appeals. If there is a change in ownership, the County has the authority to
enforce the conditions of the rezone. However, it is important to make the conditions as clear
as possible. Regarding the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) process, rezones are
considered a non-project action and property owners within 300 feet must be notified. Public
Notice was posted onsite and in the Shelton-Mason County Journal. County staff recommends
approval of the rezone.
TESTIMONIES
Mark Kamin, applicant, shared that the purpose of the rezone is because Hiawatha Corp is
looking to expand its current business and location as they continue to grow and is not
opposed to having conditions on the rezone. Rezoning would allow the company to adjoin the
current warehouse site and create a new facility for storage and cold storage of products.
There is access using Johns Prairie Road which will be the proposed entrance to the site. The
only anticipated access via Hiawatha Boulevard would be by emergency services. Mark
Golda asked if Mark lives in the Hiawatha area and why he uses vague terms such as"at
this time"and "contemplated use"? Mark Kamin does not live in the area and vague
terms are used because the future cannot be predicted.
John Gilmore, a resident of Hiawatha Park, reiterated that the Planning Commission specifically
recommended approval with access only from Johns Prairie Road. If the property changes
owners, that requirement should stay in place. The parcels are directly across the street from
new housing and a 15-foot buffer is not reasonable, 30-foot with maintained hedges is
preferred.
Mark Golda, a resident of Hiawatha Park who is against the rezone, shared that the Planning
Commission made a unanimous recommendation for certain conditions to be proposed. An
industrial rezone is a huge change with no promises, no representations, and nothing in writing
from the applicant stating what the land will be used for. It will be a burden on residents to
get the County to act as code enforcement. Four conditions were given by the Planning
Commission. One for resident safety, no egress or ingress on Hiawatha Boulevard since an
access is available on Johns Prairie Road that can handle industrial traffic. Notice was not
adequately given, especially to residents of the subdivision. The property boundary ends in
the centerline of the road, with this there will hardly be any barrier since there is no set back.
Barriers should be put up 15-feet from the centerline of the road. Conditions should be put on
the deed so that it passes to subsequent owners.
Testimony was read by the Clerk of the Board for Beth McBain and Gregory Ward, Lindsay and
Travis Tachell, and Jerry Gregerson.
COMMISSIONER DELIBERATION
Cmmr. Neatherlin shared that it is possible for the applicant to give up easement access rights
for Hiawatha Boulevard, however the maintenance payment would also be given up. This has
been done before, but is not easy. Mark responded that vacating the easement would restrict
access to the property and that he would prefer to do conditions on the vacation.
Cmmr. Shutty inquired about how commercial vehicles currently access this area and what the
applicant's views are regarding intruding on residential and urban growth areas. Mark shared
that Johns Prairie Road is the current access point and an 80,000-square-foot warehouse is
already on the property adjacent to the parcels. Kell added that the buffer would be required
where next to residential parcels and along Hiawatha Boulevard. The Planning Commission
recommended a 30-foot buffer.
3 August 31 , 2021 Commission Minutes
Cmmr. Trask and Cmmr. Shutty discussed the mailbox location on parcel #32007-14-90024, if
mailboxes can be relocated and the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) easement.
Commission feels the rezone request is acceptable and in line with the law and should be
approved with the Planning Commission recommendations of a 30-foot buffer and no
commercial access via Hiawatha Boulevard.
Cmmr. Trask/Shutty moved and seconded to approve the request to rezone
three parcels 32007-14-90024, 32007-14-90021, and 32007-14-90034 from
Neighborhood Residential (NR) to Commercial Industrial (CI) with the
provisions that there will be a 30' buffer imposed and commercial access will
be limited to Johns Prairie Road only and not Hiawatha Boulevard. Motion
carried unanimously. N-aye; S-aye; T-aye.
10.3 Public Hearing to approve the franchise agreement between Mason County and Clifton Pebble
Beach Water District to construct, operate, and maintain their water system along North Shore
Road. Staff: Loretta Swanson
Loretta shared that this is a franchise renewal for Clifton Pebble Beach Water District along
North Shore Road. There are about 48 connections. Dale Hoover, president of Clifton Pebble
Beach Water District, submitted the renewal. Staff recommends approval.
Cmmr. Shutty/Trask moved and seconded to approve the franchise agreement
between Mason County and Clifton Pebble Beach Water District to construct,
operate, and maintain their water system along the North Shore Road. Motion
carried unanimously. N-aye; S-aye; T-aye.
