When I returned to the office,I investigated the history of this parcel.In the process I learned that the property was logged without a permit in the summer of 2006.I also saw that an enforcement investigation was done by the County,leading up to an application for an after-the-fact Mason Environmental Permit(MEP2007-00031).From what I can tell,this permit has not been approved my Mason County.A geo-technical report was forwarded to Public Works for review in March,but has not been approved.Beyond that,the status of your MEP is unclear,as I was unable to find a copy of your actual MEP application/file.For the record,I did notice that the MEP application was submitted with the standard review fee,when triple fees are required.If you have additional questions on the status of your MEP,please contact our code enforcement staff,Ryan Crater,at ext.577. I I am also concerned that you may not realize that,per state law,the portions of your property subject to the unpermitted harvest are automatically subject to a six year development moratorium from the date of discovery.I have recorded a Notice of Moratorium on your property(copy enclosed),but this is just a notice-the actual moratorium dates back to July 26,2006. Going forward,I am happy to review your current application,once you or your agent clarifies what you wish to do.Taken at face value,your site plan(which doesn't meet the County's criteria because it contains no contour information)suggests that you plan to harvest every tree above Timber Tides Drive.However your SEPA checklist states that the objective is only to cut trees that might pose a potential hazard to an eventual home site.I am enclosing a copy of the site plan as submitted along with some topographic information.Please have the map upgraded to meet all of the following criteria and returned to my attention. I. Harvest boundaries and tree retention areas. II.The approximate location of any structures. III.The location of all existing and proposed streets,rights-of-way,easements,skid roads,and landings within the proposal. IV.The location of future land development including stormwater management facilities and vegetation to be retained for site landscaping,open space,wildlife habitat,screening and/or buffers. i V.Site topography at contour intervals of 40 feet. VI.Critical areas and critical area buffers pursuant the Critical Areas Ordinance. VII.Drainage ways and culverts. VIII.Site area targeted for further harvest including proposed timing.

Related to item VII,but possibly not fully captured by it,your site plan will be forwarded to Mason County Public Works to be reviewed for consistency with the 1992 WSDOE Stormwater Manual. I have forwarded your geo-technical report to an outside contract engineer for review(an additional charge will be applied for this work),and I have visited the site.Beyond that,there is nothing more that I can do with your application until a complete site plan is received,as well as a general clarification regarding the scope of your proposal.It is possible that additional information could be required once the review begins.In order to keep this case open,please respond within 180-days.If you have any questions regarding the FPA or the development moratorium,please contact me at extension 571 or by e-mail at mms@co.mason.wa.us.Please note that approval of this permit does not lift the exiting development moratorium.

Attending that meeting on 11/29/07 were Joe Staley,(WTM)Ryan Crater(former Code Enforcement Officer)and Bob Fink(former Planning Manager).According to my notes,at the conclusion of that meeting you agreed to have an existing geotechnical report revised to cover the FPA plus the MEP and a Moratorium Waiver and Joe Staley was going to revise the site plan for more detail.Mason County has heard nothing from you since then. I am enclosing copies of the letters that I have written to you on 11/13/07 and 11/29/07.Per Mason County Code,I need you to provide me with the material that I asked for in these letters with in 180-days of today's date,in order to avoid having to close your FPA case.Should your FPA case(for work to be done in the future)be closed,you will still need to do satisfy Code Enforcement regarding the unpermitted logging that occurred in 2006(MEP 2007-00031).Since our meeting in 2007,we have a new Code Enforcement Officer,Christine Clark at ext.577. Regarding the problems with your existing geotechnical report,Mason County has since revised the way that these documents are reviewed and you could ask to re initiate the review of you report,but this would involve some additional fees and paper work.If you have any questions,I can be reached at ext.571 or by e-mail at mms@co.mason.wa us.Thank you.
