Initial Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) scoping, conducted in May 2006, identified probable signifi cant adverse impacts. o On October 2, 2006, The Statesman Group, formally requested that the Environmental Impact Statement be changed from a permit-level, project EIS to a non-project, or programmatic EIS, necessitating the need for a Supplemental or project level EIS (SEIS) subsequent to development. o In the fall of 2007, a citizen's group opposing the project was formed, which eventually became known as the Brinnon Group. o The Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) deliberated and voted to approve MLA06-87 on January 14,2008, with thirty attached conditions. o In April of 2008, The Statesman Group applied for a Unified Development Code (UDC) Text Amendment and Development Agreement (MLA08- 00188) to implement the MPR. o On March 17,2009 DCD held a SEIS Team meeting to discuss and plan for "Scoping" of the SEIS with the Applicant's Representative Craig Peck, EIS writer Vicki Morris, and DCD's Peer Review Consultant Lloyd Skinner. o A public "Scoping Meeting" was held at the Brinnon School house on October 28th,2009 . On March 31,2010, DCD issued a Scoping Memo to Statesman defining the scope of the SEIS. o EIS writer Vicki Morris resigned from the Project on April 6,2011 o On April 20,2011 DCD assumed authorship of the EIS "in-house." a o a o a o o o a DCD issued a revised Scoping Memo on October 12, 20ll to address applicant initiated changes to the alternatives of the project due to the adoption on new Shoreline regulations. On July 3,2012,DCD informed the applicant that it would be hiring a third party consultant to draft the SEIS. On February 11,2013, DCD signed a contract with EA Blumen (now EA Engineering) to author the SEIS. A contract extension required due to plan changes was approved and signed on March 16,2015. Re-development and renovation of the Marina under an existing Binding Site plan began in May 2010 and was completed in April 2015. In July 2015, the applicant revised the resort plan to include a new preferred alternative #3, which reduced the size of the golf course from 18 to 9 with a 3-hole practice course. This change necessitate re-review of environmental elements. The Final SEIS is scheduled for release in November 2015. We anticipate an appeal to the FSEIS which could forestall BoCC final approval of the Development Agreement and/or subsequent building permits. The FSEIS and drafts of the Development Agreement and regulations shall be presented to the Planning Commission to review, deliberate and make recommendation to the BoCC for approval, approval with conditions, or denial in the winter of 2016. The BoCC must hold a public hearing before signing the Development A greement, anticipated in winter/spr ing 20 | 6 . Should the BoCC approve the Development Agreement, development and subdivision and building permits may be applied for and issued groundbreaking can commence.
