VARIANCE* EXEMPTION
The Washington State Shoreline Management Act (RCW 90.58) requires that substantial developments within designated
shorelines of the state comply with its administrative procedures (WAC 173-14) and the provisions of the Mason County
Shoreline Management Master Program. The purpose of this Act and local program is to protect the state's shoreline
resources. The program requires that substantial development (any development of which the total cost or fair market
value exceeds $7,047.00 or materially interferes with the normal public use of the water or shorelines of the State be
reviewed with the goals, polices, and performance standards established in the Master Program.
Answer all questions completely. Attach any additional information that may further describe the proposed development.
Incomplete applications will be returned.
*Shoreline Variances and Conditional uses require public hearings and have additional pages that shall be
attached to this application.

DEVELOPMENT DESCRIPTON:
Development proposal (identify and describe the proposed project, including the type of materials to be used, construction
methods, principle dimensions, and other pertinent information):
Commercial geoduck aquaculture is proposed on 0.3 acres of privately owned tidelands between+2.5'MLLW and-3.5'MLLW.
Existing Use (identify current use of property with exist improvements):
Single family residence and associated tidelands. Adjacent properties on both sides are also single family residences with tidelands that are currently
being used for aquatic farming.
Reason for requesting development:
The puprpose of this proposal is to grow geoducks for a wholesale market.
The applicant shall provide, at a minimum, the following information:
a. SITE PLAN-drawn to scale and including:
i. The boundary of the parcel(s) of land upon which the development is proposed;
ii. The ordinary high water mark (OHWM). This may be an approximate location provided, that for
any development where a determination of consistency with the applicable regulations requires a
precise location of the OHWM the mark shall be located precisely and the biological and
hydrological basis for the location as indicated on the plans shall be included in the development
plan. Where the OHWM is neither adjacent to or within the boundary of the project, the plan shall
indicate the distance and direction to the nearest OHWM of a shoreline;
iii. Where appropriate,the proposed land contours using five-foot intervals in water area and ten-foot
intervals on areas landward of OHWM, if development involves grading, cutting, filling, or other
alteration of land contours;
iv. The dimensions and location of existing structures which will be maintained;
V. The dimensions and locations of proposed structures; parking and landscaping;
vi. The location of proposed utilities, such as sewer, septic tanks and drain fields, water, gas and
electricity;
vii. The location, source, composition, and volume of fill material;
viii. The location, composition and volume of any extracted materials, and proposed disposal area;
b. CROSS SECTION, drawn to scale including:
i. The existing ground elevations;
ii. The proposed ground elevations;
iii. The location and height of existing structures;
iv. The location and height of proposed structures;
V. The OHWM.
c. VICINITY MAP, including:
i. The location of subject parcel using natural points of reference (roads, state highways, prominent
landmarks, etc.).
ii. If the development involves the removal of any soils by dredging or otherwise, identify the
proposed disposal site on the map. If disposal site is beyond the confines of the vicinity map,
provide another vicinity map showing the precise location of the disposal site and its distance to
nearest city or town.
iii. On the map, or separately, give a brief narrative description of the vicinity of the proposed project
including identification of the adjacent uses, structures and improvements, intensity of
development and physical characteristics.
d. ADJACENT LANDOWNERS. Provide names and mailing addresses of all real property owners
within 300 feet of property line boundaries where development is proposed.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR SHORELINE CONDITIONAL USE
The purpose of Conditional Use Permit is to allow greater flexibility in varying the new application of
the Use Regulations of the Master Program. Conditional Use Permits should also be granted in
circumstances where denial of the permit would result in a thwarting of the policy enumerated in
R.C.W. 90.58. In authorizing a Conditional Use, special conditions may be attached to the permit
by local government or the Department of Ecology to prevent undesirable effects of the proposed
use.
Uses that are classified, or set forth in the Master Program as conditional uses, may be authorized
provided the applicant can demonstrate all of the following:
1. That the proposed use will be consistent with the policies of R.C.W. 90.58. and the policies of
the Master Program.
As stated in ROW 90,58.200, "The department and local governments are authorizers to
adopt such rules as are necessary and appropriate to carry out the provisions of this
chapter." The Mason County SMP contains policies and regulations to ensure that aquaculture
operations are "properly managed This application follows the SMP policy and regulation
guidelines.
2. That the proposed use will not interfere with the normal public use of the shoreline.
The proposed aeod,ick farm iq Incated between the parcel bni indaries on private
tidelands and there are active geoduck farms on the abutting parcels to north and
south, also private tidelands. I he farming practices should not be inhibitive to public
use, a5, the tubes to he placed in the -s--ibstrate will not interfere with sma.11 craft
passing through when these tidelands are inundated with water.
3. That the proposed use of the site and design of the project will be compatible with other
permitted uses within the area and with uses planned for the area under the comprehensive
plan and shoreline master program.
Aquaculture is allowed on the conservancy shoreline and as stated in SMP
17.50.210, "Aquaculture is of statewide interest." There are existing, permitted
geoduck farms abutting is parcel o the north and south.
Rev. March 1, 2018
4. That the proposed use will cause no significant adverse effects to the shoreline environment in
which it is to be located.
While temporary effects may occur (noise, suspended sediment) and some long
term effects (diversity, nutrient flow), geoduck aquaculture is generally not
considered a negative impact in ecological unc ion. I he proposed activity avoids
ad ve rse impacts through conservation measures presented an the Speciffic Project
Information Form (included with this application) as Programmatic Conditions,
all of which will a met with this project.
5. That the public interest suffers no substantial detrimental effect.
This project does not propose structures or other impedimental elements that would cause significant adverse impacts
to the normal public use of surface waters.
This program does not attempt to identify or foresee all conceivable shoreline uses or types of
development. When a use or development is proposed which is not readily classified within an
existing use or development category, the unspecified use may be authorized as a conditional use
provided that the applicant can demonstrate consistency with the criteria set forth above, and the
General Use regulations of the Master Program.
Uses, which are specifically prohibited by the Master Program, may not be authorized.
In the granting of all Conditional Use Permits, consideration shall be given to the cumulative impact
of additional requests for like actions in the area. For example, if Conditional Use Permits were
granted for other developments in the area where similar circumstances exist, the total of the
conditional uses should remain consistent with the policies of the Master Program and should not
produce substantial adverse effects to the shoreline environment.
Please attach any additional information, as needed.
