I hope citizens will take note of two of the Notices.
One is a September 26th Hearing Examiner public hearing on an attempt by a developer to circumvent critical area regulations that protect the functions and public values of creeks and wetlands – and in this case is upland of Shell Creek where downstream salmon are declining due to City mismanagement of Yost Park streambanks and the City allowing actions like this that harm the natural environment.
The other is a Notice of an Appeal of a SEPA Determination where the City is attempting to renege on its responsibility to do a proper environmental assessment of the salmon blockage the City created at Perrinville Creek. Although the Notice states the Appeal has been dismissed, a formal request for ‘Reconsideration’ of the “erroneous” decision has been filed with the City. This is another instance of City mismanagement of stormwater destroying a natural resource – – salmon.
In regards to PLN2023-0013 (693 Main St. Parcel) Reasonable Economic Use Variance Application: My recent research indicates the applicant is not the owner, but a builder associated with Kelli Homes LLC, business address 1020 Bell Street that is a single family residence located up the hill and a little NE. of the subject parcel. The legal owner of the property per public records is a person or persons also living close by the critical area wetland involved here but not directly on it. This parcel has two lots currently owned by the city on both sides of it and the city also owns several lots directly across the street from this parcel that house the Driftwood Playhouse and a city Parking Lot. If allowed this variance will permit a single family home to be built right in the middle of a significant amount of city property, part of which is currently considered not available for building due to it being on or near a critical area wetland that supports salmon migration for spawning. If this home is allowed to be built, the next step will be for this or another builder to try to convince the city to sell the adjacent vacant parcels for “best reasonable economical use reasons” and the critical areas to protect salmon legislation will be basically nullified. Another lawsuit?
