Re:32235-75-90130&90120
Dear Mr.Atkins,
I am in receipt of your application for a forest practices permit for the above referenced parcels,near Union,Washington.I visited the site last week and was surprised to see that the site had already been
logged,stumped and graded. 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 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.
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.

IX.North arrow and scale shall be shown on all site plans.The scale shall be no smaller than one inch to 200 feet.(I have enclosed a base contour map oi'approx. 1"to 100'for your use).
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
rams@co.mason.wa.us.Please note that approval of this permit does not lift the exiting development moratorium.
Sincerely,
Michael MacSems
