Ken, This fax serves as written confirmation of our discussions regarding the fence issue that you are working to resolve. Based on the historical documentation that you provided, you will be able to complete and retain the fence structure provided that you satisfy the following requirements: 1. All portions of fence structure (including posts)must be 30"or less in height above average grade anywhere forward of the "common line." Please note that under current regulations, no fence structure—regardless of height—could be constructed forward of the common line. You are allowed to complete the fence construction that you initiated prior to the June 2002 regulatory change(based on the historical photographs that you provided). Please provide compliance photographs regarding this portion of fence by June 18, 2004. 2. All other portions of fence structure must be 6' or less in height above average grade if you wish to avoid permit requirements. It is my understanding that you plan to reduce the fence to 6' in height or less. Please provide compliance photographs regarding this portion of fence by June 18, 2004. 3. We discussed a deck railing project that you plan to pursue. If you are placing railing on an existing deck, it must satisfy minimum Building Code requirements. As we discussed, you need to work through the Building Department to determine what permit requirements apply. If the railing will exceed the minimum railing code requirements, the structure will be reviewed based on its function and manner of construction. If the structure is functioning as something other than a safety railing constructed on an existing deck, it will be subject to all stnictural setback requirements (including common line setback, shoreline buffer setback, setback from side property . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . line, etc.) You can contact Jenny Nickerson at(360)427-9670 ext. 219 to discuss Building Department requirements. You can mail compliance photographs to: Mason County Planning, ATTN Kristin French, PO Box 279, Shelton,WA 98584.

Belfair, WA 98528 RE: Tax Parcel Number 32235-50-00002 Dear Mr. and Mrs. Stevens: Mason County Planning and Building Department staff recently evaluated the above noted parcel in response to a complaint received by the Mason County Department of Community Development. The complainant expressed concerns regarding the construction of a fence that ranges in height from 10' to 4' in height above grade. The purpose of this letter is to clarify the compliance requirements associated with the fence construction: • A Mason County Building Permit application must be submitted for any portion of fence greater than 6' above grade. I understand that you discussed this requirement with Building Official Larry Waters while he was on-site. A Building Permit application is enclosed for your use. If you have specific questions regarding application requirements,please contact Jenny Nickerson at(360) 427-9670 ext. 219. • Any section of fence that extends waterward of the "common line"must be removed. The"common line"is an imaginary line created by connecting the watermost eaves of the adjacent residences on either side of your residence. Fence construction waterward of this line constitutes a violation of the Mason County Shoreline Master Program and Mason County Resource Ordinance. By May 14, 2004,please submit a Building Permit application that satisfies Shoreline Master Program and Resource Ordinance standards. Please include compliance photographs in the permit application that depict compliance with shoreline setback requirements. Alternatively, please submit compliance photographs that depict compliance with shoreline setback requirements and reduction of all portions of the fence to a height of no more than six feet above grade. I will tag the file for review on May 15, 2004. If you have questions regarding this matter,please contact me at(360) 427-9670 ext. 593. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation. Sincerely, Kristin French Planner, Code Compliance Kristin French - Fence fwd Page 1 From: Tami Griffey To: Kristin French Date: 3/19/04 1:56PM Subject: Fence fwd The complaint on the 10'fence is valid for bldg. It drops to 6' and then 4' at the bulkhead. We will post it next week as the inspector failed to take a camera today and since it was done I figured we would just post and photo later. Address is 12751 and belongs to Ken Stevens.

Evidently, Mr. Stevens has constructed an "alternative" to the 10'tall fence- its a 6'tall wall built on a 4'tall deck . . . An inspector can determine what, if any, permit requirements exist. I have warned him in writing regarding the fact that such construction may require a permit . . .
