Site Pre-inspection Notes
Project#: SP12021-00021 to determine feasibility of building on tax parcel #22132-33-90080
Date of Site Visit/Meeting: March 3, 2021
Zoning:The zoning designation for the site is Rural Residential 5 (11115).Standard setbacks for this zone
are a 25-foot front yard setback and a 20-foot setback for side and back yards.The front yard refers to
the lot line adjacent to the property access, including access easements.The setbacks are measured
from structures above grade such as roof overhangs(roof gutters), and other structures/appurtenances,
including heat pumps etc. When the lot width is less than 100 feet, setbacks would equal 10%of the lot
width.
An administrative variance can be applied for to get a reduction in the required setbacks(minimum of 5
feet for sides, minimum of 10 feet for front and rear) if the lot meets certain criteria. Other setbacks can
apply when critical areas are present, see below.
All setbacks are measured from the furthest projection of the structure(including roof eves and gutters).
Height limit per Mason County Code (MCC) 17.04.224.0 is 35 feet.

management requirements. A small parcel stormwater application is required for properties creating
