Bob Bowman from the FHA was not the only CAC member responding to the material of the last month. He snagged this comment to the rest of the committee from Kitty Nelson, a member representing the "Environment, Lake Washington and Ship Canal."
As Bob says, "Recommendations #1 and 2 below would have a huge negative impact on repairs/remodeling" houseboats. So far, this is just another comment.
| October 5, 2008 Hi Maggie, Two suggestions and a question: 1. For Urban Residential Shoreline Regulation Proposed Changes (one sheet handed out 8/26/08) I suggest that in addition to prohibiting over-water residential structures, that this change also specifically include that any alterations to existing over-water structures or replacement overwater structures not displace migrating and feeding space for aquatic species, in particular ESA listed species. 2. In the 8/19/08 proposed Environment Designation Definitions: Purposes, Locational Criteria and Management Policies under the Management policies numbers 7-11 all include "shall assure no net loss of shoreline ecological functions as a result of development". I suggest that this statement be in all of the management policies including numbers 1-6. 3. What document does the Shoreline Environments Use Chart Caveats explain? Thanks, Kitty Nelson |
