Dear Island Landowner :
The purpose of this letter is to provide you with information regarding
the recent zoning changes on Big Island , and how these changes may
affect your property .
The new RS Seasonal Recreational zoning regvlations were established
by City Council adoption of Ordinance f6246 on December 30 , 1982 . This
action also ended the development moratorium that had been in effect
since November 9 , 1981 .
A summary of the ordinance is attached. If you are interested , a
complete text of the ordinance is also available for a nominal charge
of $3 . 00 to defer printing and mailing costs .
Your property is identified in the ordinance by the Record Lot Number
shown above and on the attached blue page . This identification is part
of a special section that inventories lot by lot the ownership patterns
and e:cisting uses of island propert.y . Based on this record , the ordinance
then "grandfatners" building rights for these Record Lots by making the:�
eligible for lot area variances . This means that for the first time
even if your lot is less than five acres (or two acres under the previous
ordinance) that you may now build a new seasonal cabin , or if you already
have a cabin� that it may continue to be used , improved , added—onto or
replaced with a new cabin, subject to building permits and setback
regulations , etc . , but without questioning its use for building purposes ,
and without requiring any special City Council review.
In order for you to automatically receive the benefits of the lot area
variance , you should review and complete the following before July 1 ,
1983 :
l . Please verify the Record Lot information on the attached blue page
and notify the City if there is a problem or a change .

2 . If the Record Lot information is complete , please sign , have
notarized and return the white Variance Resolution . State law
requires that all zoning variances be recorded with the County
Recorder in resolution form. Returning this resolution is optional ,
but if you choose not to do so , you may be required to pay a fee
and file a formal variance application in the future if you ever
plan to do any building on the property . There is no fee for having
this automatic variance recorded at this time .
3. If your Record Lot consists of two or more separate tax parcels , a
green form for requesting a combined assessment is enclosed . Please
sign and return this to the City to allow your tax records to be
changed into one parcel consistent with the zoning and to assure
the most favorable tax rate possible .
4 . A conditional use permit issued by the City Council is required
for certain land uses in the RS District , including the following
residential uses :
a) If you use or have used your cabin FOR MORE THAN 180 DAYS/YEAR.
b) If you have MORE THAN ONE CABIN on your property .
Refer to the enclosed yellow sheet for a definition of these uses
including a description of when a special permit is or is not required ,
If you wish to apply for a permit , mark the yellow page and return it
to the City . We will send you the appropriate appiication form by
return mail .
A postage-paid envelope is enclosed for your use in returning the above
forms to the City . If you have any questions about this , please call
Alan Olson or Jeanne Mabusth at 473-7357 .
On behalf of the City Council and Planning Commission , I want to take
this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you whose interest and
participation this past year has helped so much in the completion of
this planning process . Z have certainly enjoyed meeting all of you and
learning so much about your island . I hope this last step can be kept
as simple as possible so that your property rights can be correctly
recorded for your future benefit .
Sincerely ,
�

Re : Big Island Properties - Record Lots _�& �#64 ,�
�.
Dear Mr . French :
The purpose of this letter is to provide you with information
regarding the recent zoning changes on Big Island. Attached
is a complete copy of Ordinance No . 246 as adopted last December 20 ,
1982 .
The Park Reserve holdings including the Dr . Arthur Allen Wildlife
Refuge have been classified as a Day-Use Public Park which is
- listed as a permitted use in the RS Seasonal Recreational District.
This is consistent with the City ' s past policies and comprehensive
plans concerning Park Reserve involvement on Big Island.
This existing permitted use is listed in Section 34 . 362 , Subsection (c) .
You mi�ht also be interested in two conditional use sections , 34 . 363 (c)
Private Day-Use Recreation Areas (like the Power Squadron property)
and 34 . 363 (d) Overnight Camps (like the Veterans ' Camp) .
The attached blue form (#1) identifies Park property by location and
PID. Please verify that this is correct. If it is correct, you
should consider having the appropriate person sign and return the two
attached greenforms (#3) which will then be forwarded to the County
Assessor . This will serve to combine your several tax parcels into
just two for simplification of tax and City records.
I apologize for the delay in getting this information out to you . I
believe that this new ordinance will go a long way toward protecting
' the Island and in promoting the Park Reserve ' s position , especially
if and when - the Veterans ' Camp use might cease .
Sincerely, �
