Dear Mr. &Mrs. Lawrence,
This letter is a follow up to yesterday's site visit to your Reller Road property. You wish
to log, clear and grade much of your 10-acre site in order to construct a home and
establish a pasture and orchard. As we discussed earlier, there are some features of your
property that will require addition study before the County can sign off on the Forest
Practices Application(FPA)or issue Land Modification and Building permits. The issues
are as follows:
WETLAND:
Based on walking the property, it appears that some type of wetland exist on your
property, laying diagonally across Lot 8 from SW to NE. I'm not sure to what extent it
also lays on Lot 7. Based on conversations with my colleagues here in the Planning
Department, I think the wetland is most likely a Category III which has a 65 foot building
setback and needs to be at least 2,500 square feet in size to be jurisdictional under the
Mason County Resource Ordinance (Wetland Chapter enclosed). Before Mason County
can approve any of your development plans you will need to hire a qualified biologist to
determine the wetland's category, size and boundaries. If jurisdictional, you should have
the biologist flag the wetland's boundaries on both sides, as I understand that you have
plans for the northerly portion of Lot 7. Should this wetland turn out to be jurisdictional,
you will need to modify your development plans,which we can discuss in more detail at
that time.
STEEP SLOPES:
The SW corner of your property contains slopes as steep as 55%, and as such is
considered a potential landslide hazard under the Mason County Resource Ordinance
(chapter enclosed). The ordinance does not specify a building or cutting setback from a
steep slope but does require that any such activity requiring a permit within 300 feet of
the toe or crest of such a slope be reviewed, conditioned and approved by a qualified
professional (see 17.01.100.E.3)who will prepare a Geo-Technical Report for County
approval.
PILEATED WOODPECKER HABITAT:
Under the Fish and Wildlife Habitat chapter(17.01.110)of the Resource Ordinance,
Pileated Woodpecker habitat is to be left undisturbed(unless a Habitat Management Plan
is approved). In the SW corner of your property I did notice two snags that show
evidence of woodpecker foraging. These snags and any other forage snags 10 feet or
taller and 12 inched dbh should be left undisturbed. This will be a condition of your
SEPA determination.
If you have any other questions please contact me at ext. 571 or at mms(E,co.mason.wa.us.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Michael MacSems

Provision should be made to minimize the tracking of sediment by construction vehicles onto paved
public roads. If sediment is deposited, it should be cleaned every day by shoveling or sweeping.
Water cleaning should only be done after the area has been shoveled out or swept.
WETLANDS: Rick Mraz(360)407-6221
In order to protect the wetland and buffer from construction impacts,Ecology recommends
installation and maintenance of a fence at the wetland buffer prior to and during all
clearing/construction activities. If a fence is not appropriate,we recommend that the wetland buffer
be conspicuously flagged in the field to clearly define the area in which no work should occur.
Ecology's comments are based upon the information provided with the SEPA checklist. As such,they do
not constitute an exhaustive list of the various authorizations that must be obtained or legal requirements
that must be fulfilled in order to carry out the proposed action.
If you have any questions or would like to respond to these comments please contact the appropriate
reviewing staff listed above.

Dear Mr. &Mrs. Lawrence,
This letter is a follow up to my letter of September 9, 2005. In that letter(copy enclosed)
I listed the items that would need to be addressed and dealt with before a Forest Practices
Application could be approved for your Reller Road property.
I realize that you may well have been overwhelmed with number of studies required to
log you property however six months have now past since our last correspondence. At
this time I am obligated to start the 180-day clock per Mason County Title 15. Please
address the issues in my September 9th letter within 180-days of today's date in order to
avoid having your case closed and the file disposed of. This is a standard action that the
County takes in order to avoid backlogs of inactive applications. I certainly hope that
such drastic action will not be necessary.
If you have further questions please call me at ext. 571. Thank you.
Sincerely,
I
