NOTICE OF COMPLAINT
ENFORCEMENT CASE FILE NUMBERS: ENF2009-00112 and ENF2011-00024
PARCELNUMBER: 22330-50-00162
SITE ADDRESS: 60 NE Lake Dr. Tahuya
Dear Mr. Ates,
This letter is intended to address several issues on the subject property and to have you take
certain actions to resolve the violation of the stated development standard. In addressing a still
active enforcement case (ENF2009-00112) on your property, Planning Department enforcement
staff worked with you in resolving the removal of trees in the vegetation buffer of Haven Lake in
late October 2009. The solution to the tree removal concern (a Mason Co. Resource Ordinance
standard) was the replanting of six trees (each a minimum of three-years old) along the Haven
Lake shoreline (with technical assistance from Mason Conservation District).
In regard to the needed tree replanting: On October 25, 2012 and January 29, 2013, Staff
inspected the above-referenced property regarding this complaint and found that no new trees
were ever replanted and no notification to Planning Department staff that the trees were planted
was made, as noted in the ENF2009-00112 case file.
A new complaint (ENF2011-00024) was received by the Mason County Department of Community
Development. The complaint referred to a) the needed replanting of trees along the lake shoreline
and b) the removal of soil along the north property line that causes a cut and steep slope between
the properties. When the site was inspected in April 2011, Planning Department staff concluded
that no grading permit was needed but some short retaining wall may be necessary at the toe of
the cut to stabilize the sloped bank. When observed in October 2012 during permit review, the
same area was cut further to prepare for the location of a new garage (permit number BLD2012-
00774). It was expected that a certain amount of backfill would be placed at the exposed toe of
bank after a short retaining wall was located near the north property line.
An inspection on January 29, 2013 noted that the new building roof gutters with downspouts were
located 5 to 7 feet from the north property line and ended in exposed pipes that appear to direct
roof runoff downhill towards the lake. This water runoff, primarily from gutters and downspout,
will cause soil erosion and sedimentation in Haven Lake. This letter brings to your attention these
issues and seeks resolution to the problems that they likely will cause.
In regard to the runoff from roof gutters and parking area: The garage on the subject property is
located right at the common property line to the north, and this garage has a gutter and downspout
Ates Lake Dr buffer alteration and runoff letter.doc
system that is exposed and directed towards the lake to the east, with no attempt to convey area
and roof runoff safely on the property. Mason County Code 14.48.140 regarding small parcel runoff
and erosion control states that adjacent properties and waterbodies shall be protected from
sediment deposition and water runoff when development takes place or is proposed.
A reasonable solution to address problems caused by the roof and area runoff would be to provide
an adequate downspout that would convey the collected runoff from the garage to a sub-surface
pipe and then to an existing 12-inch conveyance pipe(capturing runoff adjacent to Lake Dr.) or to a
catchbasin that is connected to this conveyance pipe. Planning and Public Works Department staff
could assist in helping work out such a proposal that would have minimal impacts to the waters of
Haven Lake.
A proposal like this would be a cooperative solution to a problem shared by the landowners along
this portion of Lake Dr. and the Haven Lake shoreline. Staff would reouest that you perform
these corrective actions to address the stated problems in this letter by April 3, 2013 for the roof
runoff and tree replanting issues.
If you have questions regarding the issues stated and the compliance requirements, please
contact me at(360) 427-9670 ext 365. Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Allan Borden
Senior Planner

Steve,
Thank you for the info. Instead of saying that you removed eight trees,it is only going to be five. So you will need to replant six new native trees,each a minimum three years old,per one removed. I
recommend planting them where they will not need to be removed later on. For now I need you to get back with me once you know when you will be purchasing and replanting them.
Please let me know if you have further questions. Thanks!
