Resource Lands & Critical Area Office Review
6/5/01 Case No.: RLC2001-00029
Comments RLC for Kevin Mohundro
Site visit on 5/31/01 to look at critical areas and setback
requirements for future residential development of property. The
Comprehensive Plan Designation for the area is Rural. Lake
Erickson is a non-SMP lake, meaning that it is regulated by the
Mason County Resource Ordinance, Fish and Wildlife Habitat
Conservation Areas Chapter, 17.01.110. Lake Erickson is
considered type 1 water under this ordinance, which provides a
150 foot vegetation buffer plus an additional 15 foot building
setback for a total buffer/ setback of 165 feet. 165 feet was
measured from the ordinary high water mark of the lake, and
there is still sufficient room to site a residence on the property
between Tahuya Blacksmith Rd. and Lake Erickson. The
applicant is considering siting the house a distance behind the
165 foot setback where the property is more level.
The average gradient of the property down to the lake is about
12%. It does not appear that a geological assessment or report
would be required to site a residence on the property. There is a
wetland area on the opposite side of Tahuya Blacksmith Rd., SE
from the property, but it appears to be small and a sufficient
distance away from any potential construction on this property.
No other critical areas were identified on or near the property.
The standard 5 foot side yard and 10 foot road right of way
setbacks were also explained, however there is sufficient room on
the property that these should not be an issue.

Resource Lands & Critical Area Site Evaluation
1/29/02 Case No.: RLC2001-00029
Comments This document shall serve as revision to the original
determination made by Planning staff in June, 2001. Policy
changes subsequent to that determination have been enact
ed
that .
alter the jurisdictional status of Lake Ericson.
A new field inspection of'the subject property was conducted on
1/28/02 to determine the resource-related setbacks that may
affect the placement of a proposed single family home.
The subject parcel has frontage on Lake Ericson. This lake is not
under the jurisdiction of the Mason County Shoreline Master
Program. It is regulated as a wetland pond per the provisions of
the Wetlands chapter of the Mason County Resource Ordinance
No. 77-93. The Resource Ordinance requires vegetative buffers
and building setbacks from wetlands. Wetlands are categorized
in the Resource Ordinance per the Washington Department of
Ecology criteria. The size of the vegetative buffer depends on the
category of wetland.
During the field inspection a wetland survey was conducted to
determine the wetland category. Based upon the field
assessment, Lake Ericson meets the criteria for a Category III
wetland. Category III wetlands require an undisturbed 50'
vegetative buffer + a 15' building setback for a total of 65' of
setback from the wetland edge. This edge would be identified on
the subject parcel as the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) of
the lake.
A copy of the Wetlands chapter of the Resource Ordinance is
enclosed for your review. Site plans for future construction
should indicate the OHWM in relation to any proposed structures.
am available to identify the OHWM onsite if necessary. If you
have questions or require clarification regarding this
determination, please contact me.
