reviewed last fall, David Johnson believes the final SEIS and Development Agreement will be ready for your review.
David Johnson requests that you all commit to a special meeting (a public hearing) on November 18th for that
presentation in Brinnon at either the Community Center or School.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE
Tonight we're looking at Chapters One and Two. Cynthia advised us to look at the schedule and matrix again.
Elements One and Two are for tonight. David Wayne Johnson will be here on October 7th with an overview of
Element Four. Know that the appropriate Staff Leads will be here for their overviews.
Introduction: The Comprehensive Plan is online. As we have no budget to advertise these public meetings, we
could: distribute fliers or interview on local radio for public input. Email is discouraged. It's on our website.
To trim Chapter One, staff needs to come back with recommendations i.e. move things to the appendix.
The Urban Growth Element is very important. We can move a lot into the traffic section.
The sewer section needs updated language.
