1.            How is it that WSDOT would even entertain an encroachment on a WSDOT mitigation property held in perpetuity?

2.            What are their written policies of any encroachment of WSDOT state owned property?

3.            Does it have any notice or due process for the public in these matters? If so, is any of this in writing and can we have it? If not, why not?

4.            Is there a written policy that says that if the public wants on the WSDOT property (particularly this one) to inspect it on behalf of the public, neighborhood and nearby property owners, why is it that WSDOT would charge $2500 to enter the property if they were even to grant access?  In this case it’s been determined that the encroachment on this mitigation property will cause permanent damage.  WSDOT is on notice of this. Is there a process that stops any further discussion or action regardless of further review. And how does the public know about this in order to participate?

5.            As we pointed out before, the Everett Municipal Code applies to trespassers on the WSDOT property. Is any part of this property in the city of Everett and if so, wouldn’t the city have a say in this?

6.            How is it that the county could allow an encumbrance on WSDOT property whether WSDOT has notice? 

7.            There was some reference that there is an interagency review going on about the developer’s request for an incumbrance (stormwater deviation).  Is this the first time? Is this required? Who has a right to know about it?

8.            Shouldn’t we be asking whether the request for the deviation was proper in the first place? The review process is at least if not more a public concern than one agency talking to itself or maybe with another to make a bad decision without asking the fundamental question first.
