Upon review of your application, I have determined that the contents of the application are incomplete or do not provide enough detail for review. Therefore, review of your application will not proceed until the necessary information is provided (see the comment section of this letter for details.) Once the information is submitted and the application is complete, I will continue to process your application accordingly. If the additional information is not provided to the County within 180 days of this request, the application shall expire and no further action on the proposed development shall take place. Please contact me at (360) 427-9670, ext. 363 if you have questions. Sincerely, Diane M-Jones Land Use Planner Mason County Planning Department 10/16/2003 1 of 3 MEP2003-00057 NOTIFICATION OF INCOMPLETE APPLICATION 10/16/2003 Case No.: MEP2003-00057 Comments: Pursuant to your request for application to repair a shoreline bulkhead (MEP 2003-00057, SHX 2003-00043), located at 3121 E. Mason Lake Drive E., planning staff has reviewed the information and provides the following comments: 1. As referenced in a letter to the applicants, Julio Fiorini, dated July 23, 2003, the burden of proof is on the applicant to document when an existing bulkhead failed, the location of the bulkhead and dimensions of the bulkhead. The letter submitted 10-6-03 does not provide complete evidence as to the dimensions of the existing bulkhead, its exact location and failure. The Mason County Community Development department has no record of a permitted bulkhead. Photos including dates on pictures, permits (perhaps from other agencies), and affidavits that substantiate bulkhead and failure, would all be considered as appropriate documentation. In the event, that documentation is insufficient to substantiate that the bulkhead was legally permitted, its dimensions, and failure; the proposed bulkhead will be considered a new project and reviewed accordingly. 2. The applicant proposes to build a wall with ornamental stone to replace the medium size rock piled against the base of a near vertical earth wall approximately 3 feet. Per the Shoreline Master Program, Chapter 7.16.110, bulkheads should be allowed only when evidence is present that serious wave erosion threatens an existing use or existing buildings on upland property. The Habitat Management Plan should contain information that demonstrates that serious erosion has occurred on the property, the rate as to how much it has occurred and if it continues to threaten the established use or existing buildings on the subject property. It should also clarify the necessity of the proposed bulkhead dimensions. 3. It is the policy of Mason County Shoreline Master Program to encourage nonstructural methods of erosion control methods. Nonstructural methods include setbacks for proposed construction, which is a safe distance from the active shoreline and Natural Revegetation of the shoreline. Structural solutions to reduce shoreline erosion may be permitted after it has been demonstrated that nonstructural solutions have been considered. Review of the current proposal should include a discussion regarding nonstructural methods to reduce possible shoreline erosion and the methods effectiveness. In fact, the Habitat Management Plan (and as seen on-site inspection by staff), describes shoreline volunteer growth of shrubs and trees and a presence of shoreline emergents on the subject property. Reference to the adjacent property, as well as recommendations in the Habitat Management Plan also depict natural revegetation as a possible successful nonstructural method of erosion control. 10/16/2003 2 of 3 MEP2003-00057 NOTIFICATION OF INCOMPLETE APPLICATION 10/16/2003 Case No.: MEP2003-00057 4. Staff considers the current location of the residence (as described in Spi 2003-00091), 57' from the Ordinary High Water mark to the north corner of the roofline and 64' from the OHWM to the south corner of the roofline, as a safe distance from the shoreline and does not perceive wave erosion as a serious threat to the dwelling. Further the additional retaining wall on the property, approximately 25.5' from the OHWM and the proposed bulkhead, creates an additional barrier from shoreline to residence. Please let staff know if the present application information is a complete submission for the proposed project. If so, staff will continue review of the proposed project, as such. If the applicant would like to submit additional information, please advise staff of this decision and review will commence only after the applicant has notified staff that the application information is complete. 10/16/2003 3 of 3 MEP2003-00057 Case Activity Listing Case#: MEP2003-00057 P14 Assigned Done Activity Description Date 1 Date 2 Date 3 Hold Disp To By Updated Updated By MEPA100 Planning Review 9/29/2003 None DMJ 9/29/2003 NJP MEPA010 Application Received 9/29/2003 9/29/2003 None DONE NJP 9/29/2003 NJP MEPA50 Letter of Incompleteness 10/16/2003 None DONE DMJ DMJ 10/16/2003 DMJ Pursuant to your request for application to repair a shoreline bulkhead(MEP 2003-00057,SHX 2003-00043),located at 3121 E.Mason Lake Drive E.,planning staff has reviewed the information and provides the following comments: 1.As referenced in a letter to the applicants,Julio Fiorini,dated July 23,2003,the burden of proof is on the applicant to document when an existing bulkhead failed,the location of the bulkhead and dimensions of the bulkhead.

Further the additional retaining wall on the property, approximately 25.5' from the OHWM and the proposed bulkhead, creates an additional barrier from shoreline to residence. The application mentions that the bulkhead is also proposed to protect an established use of a fire pit and gathering area. Per the Shoreline Master Program and Mason County Development Regulations, the existing fire pit, does not constitute a water dependent and or water related activity, that necessitate a bulkhead for protection of the activity (7.16.110 6 b). In addition, it must be demonstrated that other alternatives are not feasible. This discussion should also be included in the applicant's information submitted. r RECEIVED OCT 0 8 2003 426 W.
