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.
