His contact information is 360-219-8605 125. 125 Lincoln Ave Mineral Lake, WA 98355. Po Box 18 Mineral Lake, WA 98355 is the address he receives his mail. Mr. Bartle has concerns with the YMCA rezoning on Mineral Lake WA. His concerns are that they are clear cutting which will cause landslides. That they have not included the endangered species that are within the Lake, that they ( not sure whom “they” is), have not considered that there will be water right issues to those that already have wells, and that there will also be Sewage issues. He had concern that for the last 60 years the Mineral lake area has been zoned as 1 house for every 80 Acres, now they want to change that without public comment. He also stated his concerns that when speaking with public works department that he was told that “we did it all legally”. He stated that less than 5 % of the community reads the paper. He feels that there is no excuse for not making this known to the community in a better more informative way, then posting in the newspaper. The phone called ended roughly 30 minutes later. I am sending this summary of the conversation to you as part of the Fairness Doctrine on Quasi-Judicial matters.

Lee Napier; mikeheinz56@yahoo.com; Emil Markovich; Tyra Larson Subject:FW: YMCA in mineral Karen,  My name is Jerry Larson at 187 Mineral Hill Road, I agree with Mike Heinz 100% on his below statement. However,  I’ve  not talked to one person in favor of this project. I understand per Mindy’s email that there will be open community  meetings and hearings in front of the Lewis County planning commission this coming August/September. Going forward,  there are much larger issues at hand, roads are not adequate to handle larger amounts of car’s, water, environmental  impact to the lake, law enforcement. But to me the biggest issue is Fire and Emergency Services, is Lewis County  planning on providing a full time Fire Department in Mineral?   I cannot find any camps of this magnitude that depend on a volunteer fire department, for instance, the largest camp to  my knowledge is Lake Campview at Lake Tanawax (Graham Wash), this camp is supported by the Graham Fire  Department, which is a full time staffed fire station with paramedics on staff.    Example of Mineral Volunteer Fire Department, in the Spring of 2020, my Dad suffered a severe fall which knocked him  unconscious and split his head open, it took the Mineral Fire Department approx.. 30 minutes to respond plus an  additional 15 minutes for a paramedic to respond from Morton, so from start to finish about 45 minutes. Since 1994,  I’ve seen other examples of slow response times you get with a volunteer fire department. They are great people and  work hard, but again, a volunteer system to support a camp of this magnitude will be unacceptable, especially with kids  in nature and on a lake, accidents will happen.   So as this project is discussed, Fire and Emergency services are to me the largest concern, and added law enforcement,  were pretty much on our own as far as law enforcement, we don’t have the luxury of having a sheriff close by all the  time, so we have to police our own properties, than add more incoming guest is only asking for more issues. I hope all  these issues are considered to the fullest extent.   Thanks for your time.  Sincerely,  Jerry Larson  From: mike heinz <mikeheinz56@yahoo.com>  Date: March 1, 2022 at 8:22:42 AM PST  To: Karen.witherspoon@lewiscountywa.gov  Cc: Tyra Larson <tyrahicks@aol.com>, Mindy Brooks <Mindy.Brooks@lewiscountywa.gov>  Subject: YMCA in mineral  Karen  My name is Mike Heinz and I live at 168 Mineral Hill Rd in Mineral.Why isn’t the county having a town  meeting with all of the residents over this Rezone and plannedYMCA resort development?  We have no infrastructure to support this and the county is not following the State Master plan for  development.I can tell you that 95% of the residents in Mineral don’t want this type of development and  they don’t want a rezone either.I see people from Morton and Centralia and other towns comment on  wanting the YMCA project and they have no skin the game at all.They don’t live in Mineral and it doesn’t  affect them one bit.This project must not go thru and you guys down at the County seat and in  Community Development need to address the Residents  who pay your SALARIES .I see that It’s the  greater Seattle YMCA that you are paying more ATTENTION to than your Lewis County Tax Paying  Citizens.Have you looked at the YMCA’s other properties and development?They are only 40%‐60% full  and could be expanded at those current locations rather than starting a new one.     Normally property is Rezoned first then the Property is purchased for Development.In this case it is the  2 other way around.We the residents of Mineral want the County to come down and discuss this project.  Thank you for your consideration     Sent from my iPhone  External Email - Remember to think before you click!
