This site was identified as containing violations of the Mason County Resource Ordinance Chapter(17.0 1.100), Landslide Hazard Areas [cutting down trees on slopes that exceeds 15 percent,or within the buffer, and providing no on-site erosion control for land disturbing activities].; and Chapter(17.01.110) Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas {[vegetation removal and filling in stream critical areas and its vegetation buffer]. Unstable conditions remain on the steep slopes on your property,especially after continuous surface disturbances from vegetation clearing and potential surface flows during winter and spring runoff. New tree and shrub cutting within the stream area(and its vegetation buffer) should not occur prior to county review of your project and site plan. These conditions(exposed slide faces, greater subsurface drainage, and uncontrolled surface runoff)have grown worse and remain on the property as the fall and winter seasons approach. As noted in the findings of a Site Pre-Inspection completed in September 2010(SPI2010-00075), a current geotechnical report reflecting the now-present conditions on the property must be prepared, in accordance with the Resource Ordinance Landslide Hazard Areas Chapter (17.01.100). A qualified person,as defined in the Mason County Resource Ordinance,must prepare this special report and set forth the corrective stabilization and restoration actions;a list of these professionals is included.You must provide a list of proposed activities (temporary and permanent techniques), and a site plan,all detailing the actions which will stabilize site conditions to your property and the properties to the north,east, and south. The study is provided to the landowner, and all documents submitted to Mason County. A submitted Mason Environmental Permit serves as the means to implement the corrective measures that may be approved. An application for the MEP is included with this letter. Ares steep slopes&stream area letter October 2015 L , Due to the continuing unstable slope conditions,and the continued vegetation impacts near the stream,you will now need to submit the following: • Mason Environmental Permit-$630.00 • Geotechnical Report Review- $255.00 • Planning compliance fee- $255.00 It is very important that in a timely manner you understand that you are responsible for addressing these unstable conditions and stream impacts that continue on your property. You may comply to address these concerns by submitting the needed site plan of actions and geotechnical report that evaluates the current conditions and presents the corrective measures that shall reduce further damage to your property,nearby properties,and nearby road improvements. Please provide as soon as possible,and by no later than Tuesday December 1,2015,the Geotechnical Report,the Mason Environmental Permit and site plans of proposed actions and corrective measures,and the necessary fees noted above. If you have questions regarding this issue and the necessary permitting and compliance,please contact me at(360)427-9670 ext.365,or by mail at 426 West Cedar St., Shelton WA 98584.

I received a call from Bill Gregory 09/30/2015 about a neighbor cutting trees in/around water. Made a visit to the site on 10/01/2015 and spoke with his wife Jessica. I wasn't able to confirm cutting in/around a stream without trespassing but there was definitely work being done and possibly in a critical area,the area did appear to be very wet. Mrs. Gregory had the idea that Mr. Ares is trying to develop the land and build a road into the property. I am working with our enforcement to see what WDFW options are at the moment.

Looking in TM I can not determine who this case was assigned to and I don't see that there has been any follow up. This is in Allan's area (Belfair). Can you let Mr. Gregory know what the status of his complaint is? Thank you, Michael >>>bill gregory <laptop21 @hotmail.com> 10/2/2015 1:43 PM>>> Hello, I left a message on the voice mail explaining what's going on here. I have enclosed a couple pictures for you. I also have taken measurements for the slope. Fish and game came by and deemed his property a wet land. the water is coming from a spring in the side of the hill. Mr. David Ares is trying to put a drive way in my front yard and dive off the side of this hill. First I figured out that he doesn't have an easement, so I'm in a battle with that. Second,this proposed drive way is dangerous for the road and is a problem for my hill side. I have sent you a violation letter a while back explaining that he is clearing this hill side with a chainsaw and there is no permit. (case number ENS2015- 00103) My boundary stake was also removed by David Ares. I'm worried about the hill and the road. This is a liability for the county and myself if he is given permission on this project. Please take the time and look at this to verify if I am correct on this matter. This is considered a critical area, with slopes greater than 40 degree's. thanks, bill Gregory 241 ne alder creek In, Belfair, wa 98528 360 621 6950 360 340 3586 file:///C:/Users/ahb/AppData/Local/Temp/XPgrpwise/56123 894Masonmail... 10/5/2015
