Dear Applicant:
As part of this department's review of your permit application, a Resource Lands and
Critical Areas (RLC) office review was performed on your property. Below you will find
comments made regarding the proposed development and its critical values.
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. 363 if you have questions.
Sincerely,

Resource Lands & Critical Area Office Review
02/05/2001 Case No.: RLC2001-00007
Comments The following comments pertain to the visit to parcel# 12309 43
00142 on 02/02/01.
1 met with Mrs. Rose on site and walked the property in order to
identify any possible critical areas and setbacks that need to be
considered when proposing future development. This parcel is
located in the Lower Hood Canal Watershed and in an area
categorized as "rural'' under the Mason County Comprehensive
Plan. There is a single family residence already on site. Bear
Creek, a type 3 stream runs along the East side of the property.
The Union River bisects the property, and there is a foot bridge
acrossed this type 1 river which accesses the rest of the parcel to
the South. Future residential development on this parcel would
have to meet a 165 foot buffer on either Bear Creek or the Union
River. This buffer consists of a 150 foot buffer plus a 15 foot
building setback from the buffer.
There was a concern that the residence may be within the 100
year flood zone. Per the attached copy of the 1988 FEMA, Flood
Insurance Rate Map, it does not appear that the residence is
within the flood zone of Bear Creek, or the Union River. Areas of
the property are within the 100 year flood zone of Bear Creek and
the Union River, and this should be considered when planning
future development.
The property is not located in a Landslide Hazard Area. It is
gently sloped towards the Union River on the North side of the
river, with a steeper gradient towards the Union River on the
South side. Due to the grade, future development on the parcel
South of the Union River may require a Geotechnical Assessment
or Report to address slope stability issues.
Some wetland plants were noted within what appears to be the
flood zone of the Union River. Judging by the size and quality of
these wetland areas, they appear to be exempt from buffer
requirements. The site was not delineated for wetland type, but it
appears to be of low quality and relatively small size. By
reviewing Resource Ordinance, Chapter 17.01.070 titled
Wetlands, this area appears to fall in the category IV
classification, under 10,000 square feet, and thus exempt from
buffer requirements per section B. 2. of the enclosed Wetlands
Chapter 17.01 .070.
