Good Morning Elizabeth,
Hope this finds you well.
ALL water tanks, fences, backstop, dugouts, bleachers, stadiumഀ
lights, electric light poles and lines & entire project relate to one veryഀ
important aspect.
The property lines from which to determine and measure theഀ
"setbacks" from.
Following is the information that denotes property linesഀ
established;
1) original surveyed & established W.M. Section Lines WAഀ
Territories,
2)1864 lines established & signed as accepted by Presidentഀ
Lincoln, (Survey monuments removed by VPD)
3)1912 surveyed and staked lines signed & recorded as acceptedഀ
KC, WA State, (Survey markers removed by VPD )
4)1944 signed & recorded as accepted KC,
5)1947 signed & recorded as accepted KC WA State, ( Surveyഀ
monuments and marker removed VPD )
6) US Geodetic Survey marker 1950's (Marker removed VPD)
6) 1925 &1960's lot mapping KC Assessors Office
NO KC, State or Federal documents or mapping seem to exist thatഀ
make ANY alterations, changes, moving or adjustments of lot lines orഀ
borderlines to parcels # 292-303-9081, #202-303-9020, #292-303-9019.
NO KC, State or Federal review process seem to exist that reflectഀ
law and regulation was accomplished to make changes of these longഀ
recognized boundaries, lines, private roadways and prescriptive easements.
NO KC Agency has been able to provide us with any "new"ഀ
documentation that would move, change, alter, adjust or relocate the lines asഀ
upheld for over a century.
What lines are the KC DDES/DPER measuring from?
This absolutely MUST be resolved before ANY claims to law andഀ
regulation setbacks can be accomplished.
Thank you.

I have had anഀ
opportunity to look into the setbacks for the water tanks in more detail and Iഀ
have met with Steve Bottheim who sent you the previous attached email in Aprilഀ
of 2013. DPER previously determined that the setback for theഀ
water tanks would be 30 feet from the property line. See the emailഀ
Steve Botthiem sent you and also the relevant code section. ഀ
Recently, when I looked at the code with Ty Peterson we were looking at codeഀ
section 21A.08.040 B,1,c. which is why I thought there was going to be aഀ
50 foot setback to the tanks.
In short, DPERഀ
previously determined that the setback for the tanks would be 30 feet and theyഀ
told the Parks Department to move the tanks 30 feet from the propertyഀ
line. The Parks Department has complied with DPERs request as shownഀ
in the attached photograph.
I hope this emailഀ
finds you well Gay and that you are pleased that the tanks have been moved.

Subject: Rules on lighting, setbacks for structures,
Gay:
The rules on lightingഀ
are set-forth in 21A.08.040 B,1,b. Lighting for structures and fieldsഀ
shall be directed away from rural area and residential zones.
DPER is considering theഀ
tanks structures and therefore 21A.08.040 B,1,c. applies which statesഀ
that Structures or services yards shall maintain a minimum distance of 50 feetഀ
from property lines… You are aware that the County has issued aഀ
report of construction deficiency to the Vashon Park District and it is myഀ
understanding talking to the Director of the Vashon Park District that they areഀ
going to bring this into compliance by moving the tanks.
DPER is considering theഀ
dug out, the batting cage, and the other fencing, all as fencing since there isഀ
no roof on any of it and it is just a series of fences. Codeഀ
section 21A.08.040 B.1.c also applies. Structures orഀ
services yards shall maintain a minimum distance of fifty feet from propertyഀ
lines adjoining rural areas and residential zones, except for fences, wire meshഀ
backstops…..
Gay I think you areഀ
asking good questions. Hopefully having these answers gives you someഀ
peace. I have attached the related code sections and I amഀ
continuing to work on your other questions.
