Project#. , r the purpose of determining steps for constructing a single family residence
on vacant tax part
Date of Site Visit Meeting: December 28, 2016
Zoning:The zoning designation for the site is Rural Residential 5 (11115). Standard setbacks for this zone
are a 25-foot front yard setback and a 20-foot setback for side and back yards.The front yard refers to
the lot line adjacent to the property access, including access easements.The setbacks are measured
from structures above grade such as roof overhangs (roof gutters), and other structures/appurtenances,
including heat pumps etc. When the lot width is less than 100 feet, setbacks would equal 10%of the lot
width.
An administrative variance can be applied for to get a reduction in the required setbacks (minimum of 5
feet for sides, minimum of 10 feet for front and rear) if the lot meets certain criteria. Other setbacks can
apply when critical areas are present, see below.
Height limit per Mason County Development Regulations 17.04.224.0 is 35 feet.
Geological/landslide hazards:Any slope higher than 10 vertical feet, over 15% (8.5 degrees)grade and
within 300 feet of proposed development will require a Geotechnical Assessment to evaluate slope
stability on and near the site.The assessment must meet the requirements of the Mason County
Resource Ordinance (MCRO) section 17.01.100 E.4. The assessment must also state that the hazards of
the landslide area can be overcome in such a manner as to prevent harm to property and public health
and safety, and must also assure the project will cause no significant environmental impact. See MCRO
17.01.100, E7. A Geotechnical Report may be needed if through a Geotechnical Assessment it is
determined necessary, or if slopes are in excess of 40% (21.8 degrees) See MCRO 17.01.100 E.
Wetlands:There is a jurisdictional wetland on the adjacent parcel (to the east) and a portion of that
same wetland appears to encroach on to the subject site. Wetland delineation and categorization will
be necessary to determine the applicable buffer requirements for future development. A list of wetland
consultants is enclosed for your information, although you may also choose other qualified professionals
not on this list. Please have your wetland consultant reference the Wetlands chapter from the Mason
County Resource Ordinance (MCC Title 8), available on the County webpage.
Note: The applicant has indicated that he will forward the original wetland report to the
Planning Department for background information and consideration. In the event that the age
of the report exceeds 5 years since publication, a re-assessment will be required in order to make
sure that the both the wetland boundary and buffer boundary have not changed, nor the
associated values and functions for purposes of wetland rating.
Forest Practice Permit: A Type IV general forest practice approval permit is required through Mason
County Planning Department (MCC Title 11) if the subject parcel exceeds two (2) acres in size, and
involves 5,000 linear board feet or more of timber or trees that are cleared that exceed a distance of 1
and 1/2 tree length from a structure,the applicant shall obtain a forest practice approval permit.
Please visit the Mason County website (MCC Title 11)for proper application forms, application fees, and
procedural information. Said permit shall be obtained prior to any clearing or site development.
Thank you for meeting with the county's Development Services staff to discuss your proposed project at
the subject site or letting staff conduct a reconnaissance of your land in your absence. For your use,
here is a project file memo, which highlights the issues discussed at our field meeting or observations
made in the field in your absence. Disclaimer.Please note that this is a list of preliminary specific
issues discussed or observed and is not intended to be conclusive nor preclude any subsequent permit
review or final condition letter that will be provided to you when a formal application is submitted and
reviewed.
We hope that you find this information helpful and informative as you proceed through the permitting
process. If you have any questions or concerns regarding these notes, please do not hesitate to contact
the appropriate staff member or me directly at (360)427.9670 Ext. 287.
