PRE-INSPECTION APPLICATION, WORK HAS BEEN DONE ON THE PARCEL (SEE ENF2015-00035) RECREATIONAL LOT IMPROVMENTS Dear Applicant: Pursuant to your application, a site pre-inspection (SPI)was performed on your property. Below you will find comments made regarding the proposed development and its critical values. In some cases, setbacks for development from shorelines, steep slopes, streams, and wetlands must be included in your specific proposal; these setbacks are included as part of the comments listed below. 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. 360 if you have questions. Sincerely, 4a &k r Grace Miller Land Use Planner Mason County Planning Department 8/20/2015 Page 1 of 4 SP12015-00059 Site Inspection 8/20/2015 Case No.: SP12015-00059 Comments: The property was re-inspected by Planner, Grace Miller. No additional work has been done since I originally visited the site and posted the Stop Work Order on April 3, 2015. While on site, staff observed that the Stop Work Order had been removed and there was a Washington Home Center sign posted on the road. It is unclear if this sign is associated with the site. A manufactured home is not proposed for this site as far as the Planning Department is aware of and cannot be permitted under these pre-inspection findings. It appears that an approved Resource Ordinance Variance would be required for installation of a residence, as it may encroach into the buffers. The purpose of the pre-insepction was to determine if the applicant's current proposal is outside of both the 50' vegetative Landslide Hazard Area buffer and the 150' Type "F" sream buffers and may be accomplished without additional shoreline, environmental or variance permits at this time. Buffers shall be retained in their natural condition, except as provided elsewhere within the Resource Ordinance. I had given you the Fish & Wildlife Chapter and the Landslide Hazard Chapter of the Resource Ordinance during our meeting on June 9th, but have enclosed an additional copy for your information with the applicable sections highlighted. The current proposal is to: "Remove gravel from below the 50' vegetative buffer, place old gravel at top of property, where proposed recreational site will be located. See attached map. Reseed areas where gravel was removed with clover. Remove electrical and water podium from current location to front of property. See new location on attached map. Cap all underground lines at said location. Re-gravel front of property for new recreational site." The property is regulated by the Mason County Shoreline Master Program and the MC Resource Ordinance. When there are different setbacks and buffers from critical areas, the strictest setback measurements apply. Cranberry Creek is regulated as a Conservancy Shoreline Enviroment under the Shoreline Master Program. The minimum buffer under this ordinance from the creek is 100' and the minimum building setback from the creek is 115'. Cranberry Creek is regulated as a Type "S" and 7" stream under the MC Resource Ordinance and the buffer is a minimum 150' 8/20/2015 Page 2 of 4 SP12015-00059 Site Inspection 9/20/2015 Case No.: SP12015-00059 with an additional 15' building setback so the minimum setback for all structures above grade is 115' from Cranberry Creek. The ravine between the creek and the proposed site is considered to be a potential Landslide Hazard Area as regulated by the Mason County Resource Ordinance, Section 17.01.100. All development within 300' of a steep slope requires a geotechnical report be prepared to address the proposed development. Landslide Hazard Areas have a minimum 50' buffer from the top of the bluff. This buffer is to be retained with native vegetation. Apparently this and the creek buffers have been cleared for some time. The gravel and utility podium have been placed in the buffer and are considered to be a violation of development in the 150' stream and 50' landslide hazard area buffers. In order to place any structures within the minimum 150' shoreline buffer or the 165' building setback from Cranberry Creek, an approved Resource Ordinance must be obtained. A Resource Ordinance Variance must go through the Public Notice and Hearing process. In addition, a Habitat Management Plan that meets the criteria within the ordinance would need to be prepared to work within the buffer and to mitigate any potential impacts to the resource. The Mason County Hearing Examiner would make the Decision to approve or deny such a Variance, after a Public Hearing. You have proposed to move the gravel and utility podiums outside of the buffers and replant the disturbed area with clover where grass grew previously. Under the Mason County Resource Ordinance section 17.01.110 (F)(2), Maintenance and use of existing landscaped areas within the buffer area, such as mowed grass, may be continued in the previously maintained area only. This area should also be enhanced with native vegetation. Maintenance and use includes mowing and weeding. Maintenance does not include the removal of native trees over 6 inches in diameter at 4 foot height. Exposure of more than 200 square feet of soil at any one time requires stormwater precautions so that no contaminated runoff reeaches the stream. If such maintenance or use in the buffer area is abandoned or discontinued for greater than 3 years, actvities must conform to section 17.01.110 G.1. A Habitat Management Plan must be prepared prior to any work in the buffer other than the currently maintained area. Staffs understanding is that you intend to place an RV on the site for recreational purposes. The RV will be placed outside the 8/20/2015 Page 3 of 4 SP12015-00059 Site Inspection 8/20/2015 Case No.: SP12015-00059 shoreline setbacks and buffers. You may have one RV on the site but it must be a recreational vehicle, not a "park model RV". Park model RV's, mobile homes and manufactured homes are regulated as single family residences in Mason County and require a Buiding Permit. They must meet all setback and environmental permitting requirements. Are you putting in a park model RV or an RV? Please clarify if you are proposing a park model so that we can give you a Building Permit Application and you will need to move it outside the 165' building setback. Recreational vehicle means a vehicular type unit primarily designed for temporary occupation such as recreational camping, travel, or seasonal use which has its own motive power or is mounted on or towed by another vehicle. Park model recreational vehicles set up in a permanent fashion, as defined by the building code, shall be permitted as a residence and require an approved Building Permit. It is unclear if you can meet the 165' setback from the creek with a park model RV or manufactured home. Any new development such as a residence or structures within the buffers and building setbgacks shall require both a Habitat Management Plan (G)(1)(c)(1&2) and a Resource Ordinance Variance (K) per section 17.01.110 of the Fish & Wildlife Habitat Conservation Area Chapter. In addition, any proposed development such as a residence will require a Geotechnical Report prepared b a qualified geologist st and meet the enclosed P P P Y q 9 9 ordinance. Potential erosion from the site must be prevented. Silt fencing and /or vegetation should be installed to prevent erosion. Because of the drought this year, it will take some time after the fall rains begin before the seeding of the disturbed area may be successfully seeded and established. This letter confirms that the work that you have proposed on the proposed site plan and within the narrative may be completed at this time, with the conditions outlined wthin this letter. Please let me know if you have any questions. CC: Trish Woolett, Enforcement Officer 8/20/2015 Page 4 of 4 SP12015-00059 xI aa(s- a0059 PLEASE PRINT PLANNING DEPT.
