Growth and Land Use Committee

The ENA growth and Land Use Committee met on February 10. We discussed the current leadership situation that has befallen the ENA and what the Growth and Land Use committee part in the new order will be.

Our main discussion focused on what is the committee’s primary task. After discussing the topic we came up with our primary purpose. This purpose is to be an information gathering entity that will try and accumulate as much information about relevant Growth and Land Use issues that affect the Edgemoor Neighborhood and the surrounding area. With this information, the ENA as a group can formulate a position and act as a group or the individual members can take action on their own behalf.

A lot of the development applications give a limited time to comment. A lot of times this comment period is between general meetings. The committee is seeking permission from the ENA to speak on its behalf if an issue comes up between general meetings where a consensus vote can not be achieved. Specifically we are asking to be allowed to present the ENA in opposition to applications that have an adverse impact on Traffic, Safety, Services, or are requesting concessions from the zoning requirements.

In addition to the tasks of the committee we discussed meeting with the developer of the “Chuckanut Ridge” development. This meeting was held during the middle of February. We hope to have some information regarding this development to be presented at the next ENA meeting.
