To Whom It May Concern:
On December 15, 2004, Mason County adopted the Belfair Sign Ordinance which allowed 90 days from the date of
adoption to remove non-conforming A-frame signs or bring them into compliance. Also under this ordinance,all permanent
signs are grandfathered for a period of ten years, unless they are moved or changed. In the event that permanent signs are
moved or changed,they must meet the current regulations.
In conjunction with the requirements of that ordinance, Mason County Planning Staff conducted a site inspection of the
above referenced parcel on April 19, 2005. On the date of inspection, it appeared that this business has a commercial A-
frame sign,which is placed on the side of State Highway 3 and is greater than 10'from the entrance of the business.
The Belfair Sign Ordinance Section 17.34.400 states, "Miscellaneous tenant signs including those hung from building
canopies (blade signs),temporary ground placed A-Board signs,and window signs are allowed provided they do not exceed
12 square feet and provided they are within 10' of the individual or multiple tenant building entrance." Under Section
17.34.400, the Ordinance also states that "prior to any enforcement action, the county shall attempt to notify the property
and/or business owner of the non-conformity". This letter shall serve as notice of the non-conformity.
The non-conforming A-frame signs must be removed or brought into conformity by June 1, 2005. To assist you with
understanding this ordinance and for assistance with bringing your sign into conformance,there will be a staff member from
the Mason County Planning Department available at the Belfair QFC Meeting Room on Thursday May 261h from 6-7pm.
