Dear Mr. Franklin,
This letter is in response to your Initial Review Questionnaire
(IRQ) . You should be aware that all development applications are
subject to an order of invalidity issued by the Western
Washington Growth Management Hearings Board, effective January
14, 1999 . The effect of this order is that Mason County will not
be able to issue some types of permits until the invalidity is
removed. Enclosed is a pubic notice that explains the situation
in more detail .
You are proposing to erect a communications tower in Mason
County. According to the Mason County Comprehensive Plan your
facility is located in a portion of the county that has been
designated as Long Term Commercial Forest Land. According to the
recently invalidated Mason County land use matrix (Development
Regulations figure 1. 03 . 020) a facility such as yours would be
classified as a conforming land use.
I understand that you have already scheduled a Pre-Submission
meeting for your project. At that meeting, representatives of the
various county departments will explain their regulations to you.
After the meeting, you may submit your permit application,
understanding that such application is subject to the order as
described in the Notice to Applicant .
Sincerely,
Gary Y dndo, rector
Dept. of Community Development
