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. 365 if you have questions. Sincerely, Allan Borden Land Use Planner Mason County Planning Department 8/24/2006 1 of 3 SP12006-00148 - Site Inspection 8/24/2006 Case No.: SP12006-00148 Comments: Site inspection of June 26, 2006 for Jake LeGault: The purpose of this inspection was to determine applicability of planning regulations to building on this site. The subject parcel (PN: 32127-53-00196 in the Lake Limerick subdivision) is about 0.36 acre in size and is located along the east side of Cranberry Creek, a type 1 stream in an area of several bends in the creek alignment. The property slopes slightly downward from the upper area near the road (a cleared area where a previous mobile site and septic drainfield are situated), to the native tree and shrub cover of 80 to 100 feet depth along the creek. Mason County Resource Ordinance: A designated Type 1 stream is a perennial water of significant volume and fish bearing capability and falls under the jurisdiction of the Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas Chapter (17.01.110) of the Mason County Resource Ordinance. These provisions establish a 150-foot vegetation buffer and a 15 foot building setback requirements for a type 1 stream, for a total of 165 feet from the channel migration zone (CMZ). In accordance with the Resource Ordinance, buffers are to be retained in their natural condition, but portions of established use area may be maintained. New residential development is not permitted within Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation areas or its buffers, except for as approved through a variance or reasonable use exception review process. Staff noted that a septic system tank and drainfield are located in the first 50 feet of the lot near the road and a level area to the northwest is likely where a mobile home was once located. Staff made a measurement along the east property line from the bank of Cranberry Creek towards the road and septic system; that distance from the creek was 165 feet to the creek side of the septic tank. Based on these field measurements, no area exists on the lot that would not be unencumbered by the critical areas buffer and building setback and the presence of the septic system and needed setbacks near the road. The review of a request application and questions for a variance from the Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas chapter would be necessary to pursue a reasonable sized and located residence on this property. A Habitat Management Plan (HMP), prepared by a qualified biologist, would be required as part of the variance request to support the proposed development. The HMP study addresses impacts to the buffer and offers measures to preserve and protect 8/24/2006 2 of 3 SP12006-00148 Site Inspection 8/24/2006 Case No.: SP12006-00148 the buffer or to mitigate impacts of a reasonable development proposal. A copy of the Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas chapter, including details on the contents of an HMP and the variance public review procedure, was given to the owner. Application for a variance to these standards does not guarantee approval of the development as proposed. Mason County Development Regulations: The site is zoned Rural Residential 5 (one dwelling unit per 5 acres). Development regulations for this zone set forth a front yard and Road right of way setbacks of 25 feet from the edge of easement and a sideyard setback of 20 feet from side property lines. An administrative variance may be requested to reduce the front setback as low as 10 feet, or the side yard setback as low as 5 feet, if the size, shape, or features of the property constrain development front yard and road right of way setbacks. This process requires application and review at the time of the building permit submittal. These setbacks are measured from structures or projections greater than 30 inches above grade, such as roof overhangs, balconies, stairs, decks, fuel tanks, heat pumps, etc. General process: Future site development must include a site plan, reflecting all of these setbacks from property lines, any slopes, stream, or other improvements. The site plan will be needed for the Resource Ordinance variance review and building permit application submittal. No other critical areas such as steep slopes or wetlands were identified on site that would have an impact on future development.
