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
