Mr Cleveland,who is representing Washington Renaissance Faire,was informed that his address and private road sign must be posted at the site in compliance with the address and private road sign posting
requirements set forth in Mason County Addressing Code 14.28. 100 and 14.28.110
The site address was issued on March 12,2008.
Mr Cleveland was also informed that he needs to stop using the address of NE 900 Bear Creek Dewatto Rd as his site address in advertisements,web-sites,and news articles as the site has been assigned the
address of NE 770 Holy Glen Shire Lane.Addressing stated that continuing to use the unassigned address could cause confusion to the 911 system.
Mr Cleveland is welcome to give directions to the public and reference the site being approximately 9/10's to 1 mile from the beginning of Bear Creek Dewatto Rd as part of those directions.The public can
be directed to the Mason County web site for mapping if needed as NE Holy Glen Shire Lane is located on the Mason County GIS system.

The following e-mail was sent to RBcleveland@comcast.net on 4/30/2008. The referenced fence document is attached to this case:
Hi Ron,
Getting all the information together has taken more time than anticipated. Part of my research has taken me to Pierce County to verify how the castle facade/ticket gate has been addressed in the past.
According to the chief plan reviewer the inspection of the structure has been covered under the temporary use permit and inspected for life-safety purposes by fire protection staff during inspections. This
process has been discussed between myself,plans examiner Al Christensen,Fire Marshal,Craig Haugen and Fire Marshal representative Larry Waters. We all agree that,based upon your description of the
Castle Gate,Mason County will also inspect all systems under the temporary use permit,consistent with Pierce County.
During the meeting we also discussed the need for permits when a fence exceeds 6'0" in height. A copy of the fence policy is attached to this e-mail.
Be sure to check Fire Marshal notes placed in the pre-application case: PAR2008-00026. A link to the website to access the case number is pasted below:http://www.co.mason.wa.us/permits/index.php.
The information contained in this e-mail will be pasted to the case. Let me know if you have additional questions.

2)Bald Eagle Management Plan-Please conta=Greg=Schiratowith the Was�Statent of
Fish&Wildlife to develop a Bald Eagle Management Plan.Mr.Schirato can be reached at(360)490-0781. -PN
It appears that your property is located within 400'of a Bald Eagle Nesting Site.The Mason County Fish
and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Area Chapter of the Mason County Resource Ordinance requires that a"
Bald Eagle Management-Plan be prepared if applicable.Therefore,staff recommends that you contact Mr. •
Schirato to determine if indeed it is.If a Bald Eagle Management Plan is required for protection of the nest,
Greg will assist you with how to have one developed for the proposed festivals.The Mason County
Resource Ordinance,Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas Chapter designates bald eagle
management areas and they are designated under RCW 36.70A.060 and RCW 36.70A.170 as critical areas
requiring proper land management to protect their values and function.
You had mentioned in the meeting on July 315L that the Bald Eagle designation was"lifted"from your
parcels.Perhaps you had heard that the bald eagle was"de-listed"as Endangered.It is currently listed as
"threatened"by both the State of Washington and the Federal government.Its nesting area with at least a
400'buffer is classified as a Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Area.It is listed as a Threatened
Species of Importance within Mason County.
3) Streams on site—In order to further review the proposed festivals and their land use,as well as future
development proposed such as the campground,staff must have a report from a Fish Biologist that has
reviewed the streams and any possible wetlands on the site.This needs to be done in order for staff to
determine if these projects meet the requirements for Fish&Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas on
regulated streams and their buffers.Regardless of whether structures are proposed at this time,the
potential impacts from the use of the site and the proposed parking,traffic and noise,etc.should all be
considered.If there are impacts to the Fish&Wildlife Habitat Areas or their buffers,a Mason
Conditional Environmental Permit may be required.Staff must receive a Site Plan that shows all
resource areas and their buffers with setbacks indicated to all proposed development.If there are no
impacts proposed to the stream or their buffers,this will need to be clearly indicated on the site plans
and in the development description.

4) Parking Standards,Ordinance 815,dated November 2002 —The Planning Department will need an
~ accurate site plan that indicates where all proposed event development is proposed such as parking,
handicap parking,ingress,egress from SR 3,interior roads,stages,vendor stalls or buildings,etc. The site
plan should indicate that the parking stalls will be marked and meet the standards required in the ordinance
as far as ingress,egress,stall size,etc.Handicap parking stalls must also be located nearest to the primary
public entrances and shall abut the accessible route of pedestrian travel.Handicap parking stalls shall not be
less than 12 '/z feet in clear width and not less than 20 feet in clear length.Parking surface shall be stable,
smooth,non-slip and shall slope no more than 1 foot for 50 feet of lineal horizontal distance.Handicap
parking spaces shall be identified by a sign centered 4 feet—5 feet above grade at the head of the parking
space utilizing the International Symbol of Access.
The Parking Development Standards state that plans for every tract of land,lot or parcel,or portion thereof,
to be used as public or private parking area for 4 motor vehicles or more,shall be submitted for approval.
Plans shall show the proposed parking area,including location,size,shape,design,curb cuts,lighting,
screening and other features as required.It appears that for events of this capacity,you will need to indicate
whether you can meet the minimum standards for size being one stall per four seats or spectators and
adequate parking for participants and staff. This Parking Ordinance applies whether or not structures are
proposed.It has a specific listing for both"places of open assembly"requiring one stall per each 4 seats or
one per each 50 square feet of floor area for assembly not having fixed seats and"places of amusement"
requiring one per each 50 square feet of usable amusement area space.The parking ordinance contains
Construction Standards,Access and Egress requirements,screening,Parking Lot Area design,Parking stall
size and maneuvering aisle design criteria.All of these should be addressed within your submitted site plan.
I have enclosed the Resource Ordinance Fish&Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas Chapter of the Mason
County Resource Ordinance,the Parking Standards.Please let me know if you have any questions.Once
the above information has been submitted to the Planning Department,we will be able to further review
your applications for the festivals proposed in September and October of this year.Thank you.

RE:Pre-Application Meetings for proposed events
Staff has reviewed the information submitted for your pre-applications for both the Renaissance&Fantasy
Faire and the Extreme Sports Festival.As described below,the completion of our review will require a
complete and accurate site plan(s)for each event. I am differentiating these two events from the already
received Campground Permit,SEPA Checklist and Building Permit Applications other possible activities
that may have been discussed at one time or another for this site.
The Resource Ordinance may apply to the proposed parking,ingress and egress roads and proposed festival
activities.It is unclear from the site plan provided for the pre-application meetings and the aerial where all
the development is proposed in relation to the streams,property lines etc.In order to further review the
proposals,staff will need the following information.
1) SITE PLANS—Accurate site plans for each event must be provided so that we may determine what
review is necessary and if additional permits are required.The site plans must indicate where all ingress,
egress,interior roads,parking and development for the festivals will occur.The setbacks and buffers from
the streams should be indicated on the site plans.All temporary structures,including stages,and areas
where crowds will assemble.
2) RESOURCE ORDINANCE- A Bald Eagle Management Plan may be required. Please contact Greg
Schirato with the Washington State Department of Fish&Wildlife to develop a Bald Eagle Management
Plan.Mr.Schirato can be reached at(360)490-0781.It appears that your property is located within 400' of 1
a Bald Eagle Nesting Site.The Mason County Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Area Chapter.of the
Mason County Resource Ordinance requires that a Bald Eagle Management Plan be prepared if applicable.
Therefore,staff recommends that you contact Mr.Schirato to determine if indeed it is.If a Bald Eagle
Management Plan is required for protection of the nest,Greg will assist you with how to have one
developed for the proposed festivals.The Mason County Resource Ordinance,Fish and Wildlife Habitat
Conservation Areas Chapter designates bald eagle management areas and they are designated under RCW
36.70A.060 and RCW 36.70A.170 as critical areas requiring proper land management to protect their
values and function.
You had mentioned in the meeting on July 31"that the Bald Eagle designation was"lifted"from your
parcels.Perhaps you had heard that the bald eagle was"de-listed"as Endangered.It is currently listed as
"threatened"by both the State of Washington and the Federal government.Its nesting area with at least a
400'buffer is classified as a Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Area.It is listed as a Threatened
Species of Importance within Mason County.
3) RESOURCE ORDINANCE—Because there are two streams on the parcels staff will need to know the
typing of the streams as outlined within the Mason County Resource Ordinance. In order to further
review the proposed festivals and their land use,as well as future development proposed such as the
campground,staff must have a report from a Fish Biologist that has reviewed the streams and any
possible wetlands on the site.This needs to be done in order for staff to determine if these projects
meet the requirements for Fish&Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas on regulated streams and their
i
buffers.Regardless of whether structures are proposed at this time,the potential impacts from the use of the
site and the proposed parking,traffic and noise,etc.should all be considered.If there are impacts to the
Fish&Wildlife Habitat Areas or their buffers,a Mason Conditional Environmental Permit may be
required. Staff must receive a Site Plan that shows all resource areas and their buffers with setbacks
indicated to all proposed development.If there are no impacts proposed to the stream or their buffers,this
will need to be clearly indicated on the site plans and in the development description.
4) PARKING STANDARDS,Ordinance 815,dated November 2002 —The Planning Department will
need an accurate site plan that indicates where all proposed event development is proposed such as
parking,handicap parking,ingress,egress from SR 3,interior roads,stages,vendor stalls or buildings,
etc. The site plan should indicate that the parking stalls will be marked and meet the standards
required in the ordinance as far as ingress,egress,stall size,etc.Handicap parking stalls must also be
located nearest to the primary public entrances and shall abut the accessible route of pedestrian travel.
Handicap parking stalls shall not be less than 12 '%feet in clear width and not less than 20 feet in clear
length.Parking surface shall be stable,smooth,non-slip and shall slope no more than I foot for 50 feet
of lineal horizontal distance.Handicap parking spaces shall be identified by a sign centered 4 feet—5
feet above grade at the head of the parking space utilizing the International Symbol of Access.
The Parking Development Standards state that plans for every tract of land,lot or parcel,or portion thereof,
to be used as public or private parking area for 4 motor vehicles or more,shall be submitted for approval.
Plans shall show the proposed parking area,including location,size,shape,design,curb cuts,lighting,

whether you can meet the minimum standards for size being one stall per four seats or spectators and
adequate parking for participants and staff. This Parking Ordinance applies whether or not structures are
proposed.It has a specific listing for both`places of open assembly"requiring one stall per each 4 seats or
one per each 50 square feet of floor area for assembly not having fixed seats and"places of amusement'
requiring one per each 50 square feet of usable amusement area space.The parking ordinance contains
Construction Standards,Access and Egress requirements,screening,Parking Lot Area design,Parking stall
size and maneuvering aisle design criteria.All of these should be addressed within your submitted site plan.
5) T IC—The County will require that your Traffic Control Plans for each event be approved by
W T.
6) SEPA—These two events may be exempt from SEPA based on my understanding that there is no
permanent construction associated with these events.Please let us know if this is true or not.Your site
plan should show the location and nature of any temporary or permanent construction.
I have enclosed the Resource Ordinance Fish&Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas Chapter of the Mason
County Resource Ordinance,the Parking Standards and a blank SEPA Checklist.Please let me know if you
have any questions.Once the above information has been submitted to the Planning Department,we will be
able to further review your applications for the festivals proposed in September and October of this year.
Your Planner,Pam Bennett-Cumming,will return to the office on Monday,August I Vh. Pam will continue
to assist you with all of your applications.Thank you.
