First he wanted one foot and you granted it to him, now he wants another nine feet. When does it stop and what are rules put into law for? Everyone else has to follow the rules so why keep granting exceptions to Mr Mcgraw. We are definitely against this. Thank you Irvin and Ramona Herrmann RECENED MAY 31 2011 MASON CO.

May 23, 2011 Reheeen NPrchn Mason County Dept. of Community Development PO Box ?79 Shelton, WA 98584 Dear Ms. Hersha, We recently received the notification in reference to Michael McGraw's application for a reduction in required buffers from landslide hazards and residential structures. As co-owners of property on N. Beach Drive, my sisters and I wish to express our disagreement with the Granting of this application. The existing zoning regulations were created to protect sensitive ecological areas and residential structures. The granting of reduction of these minimal regulations, in our opinion, is unwise. We ask that this application not be approved. Sincerely, 264 Barbara Eszenyi et al r./n Katharine HoUnnd 6?00 SI d Ave NF. Seattle, WA 98115 Ms.Katharine T.Holland 6200-53rd Ave NE.

Mike McGraw was on site to assist in my measurements. Using a contractor-quality cloth tape, it was found that the closest any portion of the proposed residence was to the toe of the bluff was 41 feet. As the point picked was the furthest extent of the monolithic slab-footing, no encroachment will lie within 40 feet of the toe of the bluff. To be specific,there will be no encroachment of the 20 foot right-of-way, the 10 foot wide drainfield (as is now approved), plus the 5 foot drainfield setback(for a total of 35 feet within the 41 feet available). As Mr. McGraw cannot site his structure outside of a 49 foot setback from the toe of the bluff, I am recommending that he send Mason County a letter requesting a setback of 41 feet for the above cited reasons. This will be in compliance with the needed setbacks as detailed above. This letter should be addressed to Rebecca Herscha,Planner for Mason County DCD.

However, the letter should probably state in some fashion that he (the geotechnical engineer) feels that the proposed development is safe and will not diminish the stability oft he slope setback (41 feet). Also, you need to go through the process of public notification, which includes mailing a notice of buffer reduction to neighboring property owners and posting the notice on site. Once it has been mailed and posted, the 14 day comment period begins. After 14 days, and after issuing any building permit, I will need to send out a Notice of Decision to any interested parties, which begins a 14 day appeal period. For the Variance mitigation, since you wish to complete this after the home is constructed, you will need to get an estimate for the mitigation from the biologist, then post a bond for this amount. I will be in hearings and meetings all day today, but will try to be available tomorrow for any questions. Although it looks like I will be sent out to the field to investigate a violation or two.
