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 7/2412013 Page 1 of 4 SP12013-00054 Site Inspection 7/24/2013 Case No.: SP12013-00054 Comments: Inspection for Tim Pelzel on July 17, 2013: The applicant requested a pre-inspection on portions of this 1.86 acre property along North Bay & Case Inlet and North Bay Rd. (county) near Allyn [PN: 12217-12-00010 and 12217-12-00012] to propose a new small cabin in relation to the existing wetland and associated buffer. A slope at less than 5 percent is oriented towards the bay and open water wetland. The wetland conditions border the property and much of the vegetation buffers are intact. The applicant wishes to develop a small footprint cabin on the property near the wetland following county development standards. 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 (side yard) or 10 feet (front yard), if the 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 less than 8 percent adjacent to or within 300 feet of a proposed project were observed. The applicant does not need a geologic special report during development review. _Y_ Shoreline setbacks: The Mason County Shoreline Master Program and Mason County Resource Ordinance setbacks applied to the site. The area shoreline designation is Rural Environment. The proposed development on the subject parcel would need to comply with Resource Ordinance 100 foot setback from the ordinary high water mark (equal to the vegetation change from low-growing plants to tree and shrub vegetation as you move from the saltwater area to the lands adjacent to the state highway). 7/24/2013 Page 2 of 4 SP12013-00054 Site Inspection 7/24/2013 Case No.: SP12013-00054 Stream setbacks: The stream to the north is not typed, and not subject to the Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas Chapter (17.01.110) of the Mason County Resource Ordinance standards. But a separation distance of 50 feet from the stream to the site development would assure minimal impacts to the stream that is entering the saltwater and wetland area. Much of this distance is on the property to the north. Wetland critical area: Planning staff confirmed that certain wetlands, soil conditions, and associated connecting drainages, are located on the subject parcel. These critical areas are regulated under Mason County's Wetlands Chapter 17.01.070 of the Mason County Resource Ordinance. These wetland conditions extend through much of the lowest elevations of the subject parcel. The wetlands are likely a mosaic of Category II or I wetlands with moderate plant diversity and subsurface flow into and out of the subject parcel. As part of the proposal review, you typically would need to have a qualified biologist (a list is on the website) prepare a wetland report that delineates the wetland edge, characterizes the wetland category, and determines the proper vegetation buffer using the information from this Wetlands chapter. Development near the wetlands shall have the determined vegetative buffer, and buildings must be set back an additional 15 feet from the outer edge of that buffer. _Y_ The wetland and the vegetation buffer are currently intact with some trails existing through them. For view improvement, some tree limbs in the buffer may be trimmed on a limited basis in accordance with the Wetland chapter standards. _Y Due to the potential impacts to the vegetation buffer adjacent to the wetland, a Mason Environmental Permit (MEP) review must be completed PRIOR to any development evaluation and additional clearing is done; NO CLEARING should take place within the 100 feet closest to the wetland, unless other recommended actions are made in the MEP review. When planning the location of all proposed improvements or removing further vegetation for development, consider the proper buffer and setback from the wetland edge in that site plan. Staff and the applicant discussed the locations of a proposed small cabin (two-story with small footprint) in the flat area near North Bay Rd. in regard to wetland areas to the east at 100 to 120 feet distance. The connection to North Bay sewer and use of the existing driveway access will minimize the area of potential development to the building and parking area within 70 to 80 feet 7/24/2013 Page 3 of 4 SP12013-00054 Site Inspection 7/24/2013 Case No.: SP12013-00054 from the North Bay Rd. alignment, as well as the review of the MEP. General process: Future site development must include a site plan, showing all setbacks from property lines, slopes, and existing and proposed improvements; this site plan will be needed for the building permit application and the wetland study 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.

The property is comprised of three tracts east of North Bay Road and has frontage on Case Inlet. The parcels contain large sections of critical areas and many different regulations affect its potential development. Regulatory restrictions for this tract are extensive. Few areas on the property, if any, are unencumbered by wetlands. The property is characterized by mature Red Cedar(Thuja plicata), Red Alder(Alnus rubra), Big-leaf Maple (Acer macrophyllum) and Western Hemlock (Tsuga http://www.co.mason.wa.us/permits/main.php?caseno=SPI2004-00232 7/8/2013 • Information for permit: SPI2004-00232 Page 2 of 4 heterophylla). Understory vegetation is primarily Salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), Sala[ (Gaultheria shallon) and Devil' Club (Oplopanax horridus). Herbaceous vegetation is primarily Horsetail (Equisetum sp.), Skunk Cabbage (Lysichiton americanum), and May Lilly (Maianthemum dilatum). The majority of the parcel was saturated to the surface at the time of inspection. Soils evinced a dark chroma. The Mason County Soil Survey identifies the soils as Everett gravelly sandy loam but field characteristics are more typical of the McMurray Peat unit mapped just to the north of the subject parcel. Based on these features the majority of the parcel meets the criteria for a biological wetland per the provisions of the Mason County Shoreline Master Program (SMP). Use Regulation #4 of Section 7.16.080, the Residential Development chapter of the SMP, notes that landfill for residential development...in biological wetlands is prohibited. Other regulations apply but it is significant to note the prohibitive nature of the SMP language. Per the Mason Resource Ordinance, the shoreline setback for any structure is 100 feet from the Ordinary High Water Mark(OHWM) of Case Inlet. This setback consists of an undisturbed 100' vegetative buffer. Encroachment into this setback woud require a variance from the Resource Ordinance. A Habitat Management Plan (HMP), prepared by a qualified biologist, would be required to support the variance request. The HMP addresses impacts to the buffer and offers measures to preserve and protect the buffer or mitigate impacts. A copy of the Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas chapter is enclosed. It includes details on the contents of an HMP. The stream located near the north property boundary also requires setbacks. The stream appears to be a non-fishbearing drainage but confirmation of this by a qualified biologist is necessary. If the stream is a perennial, non fish-bearing stream the setback is 115' (100'vegetative buffer+ 15' building setback). If the stream contains fish the setback is 165' (150' vegetative buffer+ 15' building setback). In addition, the Wetlands chapter of the Resource Ordinance also has application for this parcel. However, given the prohibitive nature of the Shoreline regulations, the Wetlands chapter may be superceded. Such a tract may be a candidate for acquisition by a local conservation group.
