Project Description: Determine sites for septic system, water well, and dwelling on
the property.
Dear Applicant:
Pursuant to your application, a site pre-inspection(SPI)was performed on your property. Below
you will find comments made regarding the proposed development and its critical values.
In some cases, setbacks for development from shorelines, steep slopes,streams, and wetlands
must be included in your specific proposal;these setbacks are included as part of the comments
listed below.
This information is based on County and State regulations as they exist to date. These
regulations may change and may affect the requirements for development of the subject property.
Please contact me at(360) 427-9670, ext. 365 if you have questions.
Sincerely,
Allan Borden

Site Inspection
12/12/2012 Case No.: SP12012.00055
Comments:
Pre-inspection for Dean Elliot on October 16, 2012:
The pre-inspection with the owner to evaluate the location of a
small residence in the north portion of a 6.60 acre property [Parcel
no. 22122-43-00080] near the Island View county road and a
small residence near the southeast area and shoreline of Case
Inlet, located at the proper setbacks based upon this inspection.
We inspected each site on the property, and these findings state
regulations in effect at inspection time.
Development Regulations standards:
_Y_ The site is in Rural Residential 5 zone. Standard building
setbacks are 25-foot front yard setback, and 20-foot side property
line and rear yard setbacks. These setbacks are measured from
structures above grade such as roof overhangs, stairs, balconies,
decks, heat pumps, storage buildings, and fuel tanks.
_Y_ An administrative variance may be requested to reduce
these setback distances from property lines, to as low as 5 feet
(side yard), if the size, shape, or features of the property constrain
development from the proper setbacks. This process requires
application and review at the time of the building permit submittal.
Resource Ordinance Standards:
_N_ Wetland critical area: Planning staff confirmed that the
parcel does not contain certain wetlands, which are regulated
under Mason County's Wetlands chapter 17.01.070 of the Mason
County Resource Ordinance. The applicant will not need a
wetlands special report during development review.
_N_ Stream setbacks: If a stream were present, setbacks from
the stream would be determined by the Mason County Resource
Ordinance. No stream is observed within a distance close
enough for standards to apply to proposed development.
_Y_ Slope or Landslide hazards: Slopes greater than 15 percent
adjacent to or within 300 feet of a proposed project and the
eroding bankline along the saltwater were observed on the
property. When proposing development, the applicant shall have
a qualified geologist or engineering geologist visit the subject
parcel and prepare a site analysis to determine whether a
geologic special report (geologic assessment or geotechnical
report) is needed during development review.

Site Inspection
12/12/2012 Case No. SP12012-00055
_Y Slope or Landslide hazards: If the geologist confirms the
need for a special report when slopes are between 15 and 40
percent, a Geologic Assessment would be needed to address
slope stability, site conditions, and the other requirements of the
enclosed landslide hazard chapter 17.01.100 section E. 4. as
required by the Mason County Resource Ordinance. The report
must include all Resource Ordinance requirements and a
submittal checklist noting where these requirements are found in
the study document.
—Y_ Slope or Landslide hazards: The prepared special report
shall be specific to proposed site development on the subject
parcel by addressing clearing, grading, driveway and building
location, retaining and stabilization walls, and stormwater control.
This special report would be submitted and evaluated at the time
of building permit submittal.
_Y_ Shoreline setbacks: The shoreline designation for Case Inlet
is Urban Environment per the Mason County Shoreline Master
Program and development setbacks would be determined by the
Mason County Resource Ordinance. The general provisions
include that the shoreline setback is determined by averaging the
distance of setback from the roofline of the adjacent residence on
each side of the subject parcel to the ordinary high water mark
(OHWM) of the Case Inlet shoreline. Any portion of the new
structure, including decks, balconies, and rooflines, must be
behind this common line. Shoreward of this line for 15 feet
toward the shoreline is an area that may be used for lawns, patios
or landscaping (development at grade level). From that point
toward the shoreline is considered to be a required vegetated
buffer that must remain and is regulated by the Mason County
Resource Ordinance Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas
Chapter. Within this chapter are those activities listed that can be
done both with and without a Mason Environmental Permit;
proposed tree limbing and limited cutting of trees in the buffer for
view improvement are reviewed by the area permit planner prior
to starting these type of activities.
Staff noted the nearby residential development within 150 feet to
the east and west of the subject property. Staff estimated from
aerial photo image (scale 1 in. equals 100 ft.) that the shoreline
setback to the east(for parcel# 22122-50-00002) is 90 feet from
the OHWM; and on the west (for parcel # 22122-43-00000) is 420
feet from the OHWM. The residence to the west is well beyond
200 feet from the OHWM, so the default shoreline setback is 100

feet to the west. The shoreline buffer for the subject property is
the average distance of 95 feet from OHWM.
The applicant's new structure (with an area greater than 1,000 sq.
ft.) near the Island View county road is well away from the
shoreline setback standards; but the setbacks from side property
line and front (road) property line(noted previously) must be
followed. The applicant's potential structure in the southeast area
must be 1,000 sq. ft. or less to qualify for an Accessory Dwelling
Unit. Mason County Development Regulations Sec. 1.03.029 set
forth the review standards of a proposed accessory dwelling unit.
Please note that accessory dwelling units proposed are subject to
a shoreline permit (if under 200 feet from the OHWM) or special
use permit (if over 200 feet from the OHWM)public review
process (requirement A), an existing detached structure may be
used for this purpose (requirement C), and the size of the
accessory dwelling unit structure is limited to 1000 sq. ft.
(requirement D).
Your request for the permit is reviewed by the Hearing Examiner
and must meet all of the relevant Development Regulations
standards. If the Shoreline or Special Use Permit are approved,
you will need to complete the building permit for this second
residence (the accessory dwelling unit), providing the needed
water and septic to the home. The application materials are
available in person at the Mason County Permit Assistance
Center, 5th and Cedar St. in Shelton or by phone at 427-9670 ext.
281.
You would need to confirm with the Environmental Health
Department what their septic system standards are to make sure
about the adequacy of supplying a septic disposal for the
proposed development.
General process: Future development must include a site plan,
showing all setbacks from property lines, shoreline, road, and
existing and proposed improvements; this site plan, along with the
geologic assessment, will be needed for building permit
application submittal and review. Specific County Codes
standards for future development may be found at the County
website address http //www.co.mason..wa.us. If you have any
questions please feel free to call. Thank you.
