Parcel No.: 123294100160
Proiect Description To determine resource-related issues relevant to building a
new espresso stand and storage building.
Dear Applicant:
As part of this department's review of your permit application, a Resource Lands and
Critical Areas (RLC) site inspection 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. 577 if you have questions.
Si pcerely,

Resource Lands & Critical Area Site Evaluation
8/14/2002 Case No.: RLC2002-00064
Comments: A field inspection of the suject property was conducted pursuant
to a request for a pre-inspection to determine resource-related
issues pertinent to the reconstruction of an espresso stand and
the construction of a new storage building.
The parcel contains frontage on Belfair Creek, a Type III stream
per Washington Department of Natural Resources stream typing
criteria. Research subsequent to the site inspection has
determined Belfair Creek is a fish-bearing stream. The Mason
County Resource requires buffers and setbacks from streams; the
size of the buffer depends on the stream type. Type III streams
require a 150' undisturbed vegetative buffer + a 15' building
setback. Legal pre-existing structures and activities are
grandfathered. Based upon field approximation it appears that the
entire area proposed for redevelopment is within the stream
buffer. Most construction activities within the buffer 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. It also contains information about the
variance procedure.
The also contains a riparian wetland associated with the creek.
Most of the wetland area was located in the northern portion of
the parcel but no authoritative delineation or typing was
conducted during the site inspection. Wetlands are also
regulated by the Resource Ordinance and have buffers that are
based upon the category of wetland.
The Resource Ordinance allows for the remodel, repair, or
change of use of an existing building within its existing footprint,
plus or minus 10%, and provided the expansion does not increase
any intrusion into the aquatic management area or stream buffer.
This type of expansion does not require a variance.
Removal of any native vegetation from the buffer also requires a
variance and HMP. Removal of exotic vegetation, such as the
Himalayn Blackberry, is allowed provided no disturbance to native
plants occurs.
To expedite development review, please include measured
setbacks on any site plans presented to accompany building
