Home My WebLink AboutTree Removal Letter - OT General - 3/22/2022 Nancy Sutherland LTC WB Willard,Jr US Army (Retired) President HIPMA P.O. Box 1815 111 E Tamarack Lane Shelton, WA 98584 Shelton, WA 98584 22 March 2022 Dear Nancy; Reference: HIPMA Herald, 25 February 2022 (copy enclosed) Regarding the enclosed TRAIL UPDATE newsletter,this date Corazon and I met with Malissa Paulsen, Planner, Mason County Community Services (Tel: 1-360-427-9670 ext. 282) in Shelton to discuss measures to improve utilization of the boat storage facility under the Shoreline Management Act. The original ramp to the beach from the boat storage facility approved by the Hearing Examiner under the Mason County permit number BLD 2005-01398 dated 24 January 2008 was washed away by tidal action in 2009 and replaced with the wooden beam and large stone/crushed rock ramp that you see in the enclosed PHOTO# 1.This repaired ramp has done an excellent job of withstanding tidal action but the community now has the responsibility of maintaining it. I recommend an effort be made to gather those rocks which have been washed out by the tide and replaced back in the wooden crib as a community project during our next Annual Meeting this year. In order to remove the tree which, you describe as an "impediment"for use of the boat storage facility requires the filing of two permits by the owner of the property. The two permits are: 1. Mason Environmental Permit 2. Geotechnical Report and both will be expensive to pursue and approval for the removal of the tree cannot be assumed or guaranteed. Since I own the property, I personally do not favor removal of the tree as it is still alive and it contributes to the stability of the embarkment. Therefore,the appropriate decision is to leave "mother nature alone", let the tree live and get used to hunkering down as you slide under the tree either alone or"wiggling" your kayak after you. Both would be an environmentally friendly act. The Hearing Examiner in his approval of permit BD 2005-01398 for the boat storage facility specified that "association members will periodically sweep the concrete pad to keep the facility in a clean condition".The current members (Sutherland, Dodson and Wasserman)who ` I have their boats stored as shown on the recent enclosed PHOTO#2 have not cooperated in maintaining the facility,yet all have signed a "Utilization Agreement" saying they would. Therefore,this letter serves as notification that these three members have to develop a plan to please maintain the facility in a clean condition as they promised in writing they would do. If no action is taken then their"Utilization Agreement" will not be renewed in 2023 and new members who will honor their signature on the Utilization Agreement will be permitted to do so. For your information I enclose a blank "Utilization Agreement" whose purpose is to reflect the "terms "established by The Hearing Examiner in 2008. Please communicate this agreement to our new members who may want to store their boat but with the understanding they will help keep the facility in a "clean condition". I thank you for serving as our President and providing the membership with the guidance needed to allow correct use of Willard's community easement trail and boat storage facility.
