DATED this 20th day of February, 2007. MASON COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS SHELTON, WASHINGTON Is/Kathy L. Van Denover Kathy L. Van Denover, PUBLIC WORKS REPRESENTATIVE 2/22-3/1-8 3t County rejects proposal for Harstine cabin zone (Continued from page 31.) cabins or a retreat on the island, "but I was considering it for a much larger size and a much lower density." She said the highest density on the island is one building per acre, and noted these are an exception that won't be permitted anymore. Magu- ire suggested that a special-use permit might ensure the appli- cants will stick to the proposal they have outlined and prevent potential future owners from being automatically allowed to bring in other commercial uses to the land. "I think it needs to be recon- sidered," she said. Besides the applicants them- selves, among those speaking in favor of the proposal was John Noble, a Harstine resident and a retired professional geolo- gist who has specialized in the management of groundwater nd municipal and industrial water supplies. He found noth- ing wrong with the well or sep- tic system designed for the pro- posed campground. Bremnath Carnot, who lives on the island with his wife, also testified in favor of the camp- ground. He and others pointed to a need for upscale lodging when guests such as his friends and family from out of the coun- try come to visit. He also noted that a lot of people are now try- ing to move onto the island. MR. CARNOT mentioned his involvement with the Archi- tectural Control Committee of Hartstene Pointe, a gated com- munity. In this capacity he has dealt with Mr. James in connec- tion with construction projects and said he was very impressed with the applicant's compliance with the "very strict" rules and regulations enforced by the com- munity. Carnot said that, based on his encounters with James, he has concluded that the appli- cant is committed to preserving the island's rural character. "It's a good project and I think it will help all of the communi- ties that are out there," Carnot said. Christenson, the co-appli- cant, added: "This would give Mason County revenue and all of the community a nice, cozy Page 42 - Shelton-Mason County Journal - Thursday, March 8, 2007 bed-and-breakfast-style accom- modation." Christenson described how she had inherited the property from her late father, who had owned it for decades. She said she and her husband live down the street from the land and own an adjacent piece of prop- erty. She listed several poten- tial benefits of the campground and pointed out how cottage in- dustries, businesses and camp- grounds already exist on the island. "I'm trying to do something nice to the island, as well as ful- fill a need," said her husband, Mr. James. HE DESCRIBED how "the property is located on an inter- section across from the Harst- ine Island Community Hall. His wife referred to a study by the Mason County Public Works Department that found the in- tersection to be well-trafficked, noting that many people had remarked on the location as be- ing ideal for a venture such as theirs. "The spot, we thought, was perfect for this," James said. He talked about how he had submitted a very specific pro- posal and could only assure his neighbors he intends to follow through with his plans as set out, in an attempt to assuage their fears about the zoning criteria. Commissioner Ring- Erickson said she is quite fa- miliar with this intersection and indicated she shared some of the concerns expressed by island residents when it comes to plans that "don't end up with the intended consequences." While much of the testimony addressed the plans for the site in question, she noted how the hearing was really directed at the rezone request. "I don't question the good in- tentions of the applicants," said Commissioner Sheldon. At the same time he agreed that the current stipulations for a Ru- ral Tourist Campground desig- nation are probably a little too broad. "To me, I think the bot- tom line is that rural tourism would not be compatible with the surrounding uses," he said.
