January 2005 Growth and Land
Use Committee
The Growth and Land Use
Committee gathered this month to discuss development issues that are happening
in the surrounding area. We discussed the application process regarding
the 10th and McKenzie development as well as other projects that we've
heard about.
We also discussed the speakers
for the upcoming ENA meeting on the 3rd of Feb. Currently we have Jorge
Vega (Planning Director), Chris Spens (Environmental
Planner), and Dick McKinley (Director of Public Works) presenting at the
meeting. The purpose of these speakers is to educate all of us on
the development permitting process and where public input is
included. This session is for educational purposes only. It is not
to complain about issues we may have.
Another topic we discussed is
our involvement in the Southside Coalition. We came up with some motions
to be brought before the association. These Are:
1. Move that the ENA be part of a Southside Coalition of neighborhoods
to work on issues of commons concern.
2. Move that the ENA support the Southside Coalition’s top three
priorities:
A traffic study for all the south neighborhoods
Monitor the Chuckanut
Update the Fairhaven Neighborhood Plan immediately and designate
3. Move that the ENA Land Use Committee and its representative have
flexibility to support the work of the Coalition as long as the activity
supports the sense of the membership on related land use issues.
Our next meeting will be Feb 8th at
