Attachment 4) the permitted uses specified in 17.20E.030(1) through 17.20E.030(9) LCC are limited to:
a. Lodges, rental cabins, and appropriate support facilities for visitor-oriented accommodations,
including caretaker accommodations;
b. Recreational sport facilities and undeveloped recreational areas;
c. Boat docks and marinas compatible with the Lewis County shoreline master program;
d. Open space areas such as lakes, wetlands, greenbelts, buffers, and wildlife preserves;
e. Facilities necessary for public safety such as fire and security stations, waste disposal, and

f. Transportation related facilities, emergency medical facilities, and storage structures and areas,
provided these uses are ancillary to the master planned resort; and

All other uses permitted by 17.20E.030(1) through 17.20E.030(9) LCC are prohibited; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that for parcels 038931011007, 038931011037,

038931011023 and 038931011024 (Lots 7-12 and Lots 21-24 of Record Survey recorded under Auditor
File Number 3379875) of the MPR rezone associated with the Mineral Lake YMCA (Exhibit A, Attachment
4) the permitted uses specified in Lewis County Code 17.20E.030(1) through 17.20E.030(9) LCC are
limited to:
a. Recreational sport facilities and undeveloped recreational areas;
b. Boat docks and marinas compatible with the Lewis County shoreline master program;
c. Open space areas such as lakes, wetlands, greenbelts, buffers, and wildlife preserves;
d. Facilities necessary for public safety such as fire and security stations, waste disposal, and utilities
within the master planned resort or the county; and
e. Transportation related facilities, emergency medical facilities, and storage structures and areas,
provided these uses are ancillary to the master planned resort.
All other uses permitted by 17.20E.030(1) through 17.20E.030(9) LCC are prohibited; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that if a Master Plan Resort development associated with
the Mineral Lake YMCA, as described in Exhibit A, Attachment 4, is not approved through Master Plan
Resort application and Binding Site Plan application within five (5) years of execution of this ordinance,
the MPR overlay zone will expire and the zoning will revert to forest resource land of long-term
significance (FRL) for all listed parcels. After the Binding Site Plan is approved, if the subsequent site
development permit(s) schedules as described in the Binding Site Plan decision document are not met,
or if the subsequent site development permits are not obtained within fifteen (15) years of execution of
this ordinance, the MPR overlay zone will expire and the zoning will revert to FRL for all listed parcels. If
either of the reverters in this paragraph occur, no uses will be permitted to start, persist, or exist in the
affected zones unless consistent with FRL zoning (or its successor if renamed or amended in the future),
as such zoning exists in the LCC at the time of reverter or when such use begins, whichever is later. If any
use began and was consistent with the MPR overlay zone while it was in effect, but is inconsistent with
the zoning change described in the preceding sentence, such use shall cease within six months. Nothing
in this provision shall limit the BOCC’s authority to extend schedules or amend the Lewis County
Comprehensive Plan designation or zoning for the listed parcels subject to the MPR rezone.
