Project Description: BUILD NEW HOUSE, GARAGE AND STAIRS
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

Comments:
Pre-inspection for Michael Eacrett on Aug. 20, 2009:
The pre-inspection was made to evaluate one parcel [ PN
12108-11-00010] with two residences located along Case Inlet
and along Buckingham Lane. The parcels have some of the
shrub and tree cover throughout the property. A concrete
bulkhead covers the center 60 percent of the shoreline but
vegetation and shoreline debris protects the remainder of the 10
to 15 foot high bank. The proposal is to replace the eastern of the
existing residences, add a stairs to the bulkhead below, and add a
garage to the south of the access road. The proposed structures
would be located at the proper setbacks based upon this
inspection. These findings state regulations in effect at inspection
time, unless noted otherwise [NOTE: the Shoreline Setbacks
stated below].
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
(side yard) or 10 feet (road easement), 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.
Shoreline Setback standards:
Y_ Shoreline setbacks: The shoreline designation for Case Inlet
is Urban Environment per the Mason County Shoreline Master
Program and development setbacks would be determined by the
Mason County Resource Ordinance. The shoreline setback is
typically determined by drawing a line between the roofline of
adjacent neighboring residences across 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. Shoreward 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 that must remain 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; proposed tree limbing and limited cutting of
trees in the buffer for view improvement are reviewed by the area
permit planner prior to starting these type of activities.
The eastern residence is located closer to the shoreline (at about
55 feet from the bulkhead) than the western residence on the
subject property; it is behind the view line that extends between
the roofline of adjacent neighboring residences on properties to
the east and west. Replacement of this eastern residence in its
footprint on the shoreline side would meet shoreline setbacks and
not interfere with the views of the shoreline on the adjacent
properties. The proposed residence could be expanded to the
east side as long as the 20-foot side yard setback is met and does
not interfere with expansion to the septic system in the nearby
area. Some expansion of the residence to the west is allowed as
long as it would meet shoreline setbacks and not interfere with the
views of the shoreline on the adjacent properties.
The western residence is located farther from the shoreline (at
about 65 feet from the bulkhead) than the eastern residence on
the subject property; expansion of the patio area would not
interfere with shoreline views, as long as any new roof areas are
behind the line of the patio ground level.
As noted above, the Resource Ordinance standards state that
proposed tree limbing and limited cutting of trees in the vegetation
buffer for view improvement are reviewed by the area permit
planner prior to starting these type of activities. A site plan
showing the proposed trees to be taken down, left in place or
removed, and the configuration of replacement trees shall be
submitted for review to the permit planner. Any one tree taken
down can be sectioned and left in place, and will have to be
replaced with six native trees that are three-years old. Ground
shrub vegetation shall be maintain as much as feasible.
Note that an erosion protection rockery or bulkhead along all or
part of the shoreline or a proposed stairway will need a building
permit, environmental checklist, and shoreline exemption, as well
as a Mason Environmental Permit and habitat management plan
for the proposal.
Two precautions for site development on this property should be

Site Inspection
2/23/2012 Case No.: SP12009-00085
noted:
1) that the siting of new buildings and structures shall be located
so that further shoreline protection measures are not needed in
the future; and
2) a setback determination may change if the adjacent property
owners submit applications and are granted permits for new or
remodeled residences established at proper shoreline setbacks.
Other Resource Ordinance Standards:
_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 observed vegetation is
associated with the lake shoreline; so the applicant will not need a
wetlands special report during development review.
_N_ Stream setbacks: No seasonal or perennial drainage flows
through the subject property. The proposed development is
greater than 200 feet from the any stream management area
covered by the standards of this critical area.
_Y_ Slope or Landslide hazards: Slopes greater than 15 percent
adjacent to or within 300 feet of a proposed project were observed
in the middle area of the property. When proposing development,
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 greater than 40 percent,
a Geotechnical Report would be needed to address slope
stability, site conditions, and the other requirements of the
enclosed landslide hazard chapter 17.01.100 section E. 5. as
required by the Mason County Resource Ordinance. The report
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 and stabilization walls, and stormwater control.
This study shall address the presence of the septic system on site
stability conditions. This special report would be submitted and

evaluated at the time of building permit submittal.
You would need to confirm with the Environmental Health
Department what their septic system standards are to make sure
about the adequacy of supplying a septic disposal for the
proposed development.
General process: Future development must include a site plan,
showing setbacks from property lines, shoreline, driveway, road,
and existing and proposed improvements; this site plan and the
geologic study will be needed for building permit application
submittal and review. Specific Count Codes standards for future

feel free to call. Thank you.
