Dear Applicant Pursuant to your application, a site pre-inspection (SPI)was performed on your property. Below you will find comments made regarding the proposed development and its critical values. In some cases, setbacks for development from shorelines, steep slopes, streams, and wetlands must be included in your specific proposal; these setbacks are included as part of the comments listed below. This information is based on County and State regulations as they exist to date. These regulations may change and may affect the requirements for development of the subject property. Please contact me at(360) 427-9670,ext. 365 if you have questions. Sincerely, Allan Borden Land Use Planner Mason County Planning Department 9/26/2008 1 of 4 SP12007-00151 Site Inspection 9/26/2008 Case No.: SP12007-00151 Comments: Inspection for the David Bayley on July 3, 2007: [Parcel Numbers 32235-32-00030] Lot Description: The property is along State Route 106 on the Hood Canal shoreline and is 150 feet wide and 40 feet deep north of the road. The property has 10 to 12 percent slope near the highway and then is sloped to a 5 foot high bank at the saltwater. The site has an existing small residence and garage and a concrete bulkhead at north and west side projecting onto the beach compared to the properties to the west; septic system is on the parcel to the east adjacent to the state highway. The applicant wishes to add a second floor to enlarge the residence and to repair and/or re-establish a marine rail system to the west of this cabin, if each meets the needed setbacks or special studies. These findings state regulations in effect at the time of inspection, unless noted otherwise. Development Regulations standards: _Y_ The site is in Rural Residential 5 zone. Standard building setbacks are 25-foot front yard setback, and 20-foot side property line and rear yard setbacks. These setbacks are measured from structures above grade such as roof overhangs, stairs, balconies, decks, heat pumps, storage buildings, and fuel tanks. _Y_ An administrative variance may be requested, to reduce these setback distances from property lines, to as low as 5 feet or 10 feet (front yard), if the size, shape, or features of the property constrain development from the proper setbacks. This process requires application and review at the time of the building permit submittal. Resource Ordinance Standards: _N_ Slope or Landslide hazards: Slopes greater than 15 percent adjacent to or within 300 feet of a proposed project were observed. The applicant shall have a qualified geologist or engineering geologist visit the subject parcels and prepare a site analysis to determine whether a geologic special report is needed during development review. _Y_ Slope or Landslide hazards: If the geologist confirms the need for a special report when slopes are between 15 and 40 percent, a Geologic Assessment would be needed to address slope stability, site conditions, and the other requirements of the enclosed landslide hazard chapter 17.01.100 section E. 4. as required by the Mason County Resource Ordinance. The report 9/26/2008 2 of 4 SP12007-00151 Site Inspection 9/26/2008 Case No.: SP12007-00151 must include all Resource Ordinance requirements and a submittal checklist noting where these requirements are found in the study document. _Y_ Slope or Landslide hazards: The prepared special report shall be specific to proposed site development on the subject parcel by addressing clearing, grading, driveway and building location, retaining walls, and stormwater control. This special report would be submitted and evaluated at the time of building permit submittal. The study shall address the presence of the septic system on site stability conditions. Y_ Shoreline setbacks: The shoreline designation for the area is Urban Environment per the Mason County Shoreline Master Program and setbacks would be determined by the Mason County Resource Ordinance. The shoreline setback is determined by measuring the average distance from the saltwater ordinary high water mark (OHWM) to the roofline of adjacent neighboring residences to the east and west of the subject property, measuring the roof projection closest to the shoreline. Any portion of the new structure, including decks, balconies, and rooflines, must be behind this common line. Landward of this line for 15 feet toward the shoreline is an area that may be used for lawns, patios or landscaping (development at grade level). From that point toward the shoreline is considered to be a required vegetated buffer and is regulated by the Mason County Resource Ordinance Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas Chapter. Within this chapter are those activities listed that can be done both with and without a Mason Environmental Permit. This inspection was to examine a proposed addition to the existing residence and marine rail repair. At the inspection, the setbacks of the residence were not measured in order to determine whether the expansion of the structure is allowed, but the standards to use in proposing an expansion can be stated. The Resource Ordinance will not permit expansion of the existing structure footprint towards the water if the proposed new structure is less than 35 feet from the saltwater OHWM (equal to the minimum shoreline setback). In addition, a second floor addition to an existing building area is not permit closer than 15 feet from the saltwater OHWM (shoreline management plan standard). With this residence projecting towards the beach, you will need to determine how much area of the existing footprint is available to expand upon prior to designing a possible addition to this small residence. You will also have to be sure that any expansion to the south does not encroach any closer to the state highway easement or does maintain a 10-foot road setback from that 9/26/2008 3 of 4 SP12007-00151 i i Site Inspection 9/26/2008 Case No.: SP12007-00151 easement. Replacing a demolished marine rail requires evidence of its existence in the last two years, or a new rail system will need shoreline permit review; repair of an existing rail alignment may be reviewed through a building permit, environmental review, and a state hydraulic project permit. _N_ Wetland critical area: Planning staff confirmed that the parcel does not contain certain wetlands, which are regulated under Mason County's Wetlands chapter 17.01.070 of the Mason County Resource Ordinance. The applicant will not need a wetlands special report during development review. _N_ Stream setbacks: Stream critical areas (recognized by state, county, or tribal agencies) were not observed during the inspection. The development setbacks from these features would not apply to a proposed improvement on the subject parcel. The seasonal runoff associated with the slopes and seepage located off-site can be addressed as a complete development proposal is presented. You would need to confirm with the Health Department what their septic system standards are to make sure about the adequacy of supplying a septic system and drainfield area(s). General process: Future site development must include a site plan, showing all setbacks from property lines, shoreline, slopes, and existing and proposed improvements; this site plan will be needed for building permit review. Specific County Code standards for future development may be found at the County website address http://www.co.mason.wa.us. If you have any questions please feel free to call.

FOR OFFICE USE ONLY: Accepted by: Date: MORE ON BACK SIDE Revised: 02/2M7 6 r I' #wn - r l € P ij. (615 EXHIBIT "B" Purpose of Pre-Inspection: The owners would like to do the following: a) Remodel the little house by putting a bedroom upstairs where the garage is now located, which may be accomplished by using the existing footprint of the 2nd floor, or expand it Northerly to the cement bulkhead to include the same square living space as the first floor. The "little house" would remain a one (1) bedroom house, with expanded kitchen and bathroom facilities. Upstairs would provide a more private area for sleeping and storing personal effects. The "little house" shares the septic drainfield that is behind (South) of the "big house". Effluent from the "little house" is pumped Easterly through a sewerline to this septic drainfield. b) Consider enclosing the cement porch area adjoining the "little house" on the East and make it into a small living room, adding about 120 square of living space feet; c) 1) Repair/rebuilding of a rail system, which would be used to launch a ski boat. This two (2) track rail system was installed in the 1930s, with about 100 feet of track laid on the beach, which extended into a boat house ("little house") where the height of the pilings at the boat house reached approximate 6 feet. Over the years, the winds, waves and storms battered the pilings, which eventually were deteriorated. A similar rail system exists, but is not operable, on property located to the East of the "big house". 2) The rails were relocated in 1962 about 15 feet to the West. In 1962 no pilings were used,just cement foundations with the boat located beyond high tide line along side the "little house". Over the years, the wind and waves again twisted the rails loose from their cement foundations, scattering the rails on the beach. The cement footings remained. This rail system used a carriage that held an 18 foot ski boat that would be stored during the summer months above high tide. When used, the carriage was lowered with a hand winch down the rails about 100 to 120 feet for launching; extreme low tide is about 150 feet out. 3) This repair/rebuild would involve installing an 8 feet high by 10 foot long cement retaining wall perpendicular to the West wall of the "little house", installation of an electrical winch, replacement of the railroad tracks and the building of a new boat carriage. The cement foundations installed in 1962 would continue to be used for rail support. Note that the West property line is approximately 65 feet West of the West wall of the "little house". d) The new placement of a wood and Styrofoam float approximately 8 feet wide by 10 feet long (to be built in 2 sections) which would be anchored in the summer time between the two houses and about 80 feet down the beach; this float would be tied off and placed on the shore during the winter months; e) Expansion of the 2nd floor of the "little house" by 20 feet on the West to allow for a replacement garage for boat and general storage; f) Expansion of the covered porch attached to the "big house" (the covered porch is approximately 8 feet wide by 16 feet long).This porch is attached to the Westerly portion of the "big house". The plan is to expand this porch Westerly over the existing grass area (about 120 square feet), which is behind a "cement sandbag" bulkhead, which was built in the 1930s. This area would be used for outside activities when it is raining and windy; Increase the height of the existing "cement sandbag bulkhead" which protects the "big house" from high tides and storms. It is evident that waves, being pushed by high winds, have overflowed the top of this bulkhead allowing dirt and gravel from behind the bulkhead to wash away, which, if allowed to continue, would weaken the integrity of the structure of the bulkhead and place the "big house" at substantial risk;
