Back in February 2022 it appeared the developer's unfeasible plan to build an elevated offsite 1,000 foot sewer came to a halt. The building of this sewer would have required the destruction of a colonnade of trees on both sides of the private road (which is unpaved presently), the buffer zone and Category II wetland. These critical areas also include fish bearing streams! All of these environments are supposed to be protected by law! It’s a matter of record that we have challenged this plan of destruction. Silver Lake Water and Sewer District is aware of this and has a hand in approving any sewer plan. They may try to deny this, but you can look up the code and their own admissions that make this clear. On behalf of itself and apparently the developer, this is what the sewer district had to say about citizen input:

On the development side, I think the project is in limbo until the neighbors calm down or they can sell the property to another developer, and just don’t want to keep paying water bills on vacant land…

Yeah, the rabble rousing neighbors have killed the project and were trying to use our offsite sewer line to help. It seems to be dead, but I bet they just sell it to some other suspecting developer.
Recently the developer offered a new plan for the offsite sewer which presents a similar environmental disastrous impact and engineering deficiencies. In conjunction with this new plan the developer submitted a revised SEPA dated June 2022 which indicates that it is the good people living in the Silver Lake Sewer District who will have to pay for this thing. The following quote is from the June 2022 SEPA:
b. Proposed measures to reduce or control direct impacts on public services, if any:
Impacts will be controlled by the increase in tax base and tax assessments paid to the public services as well as impact fees.
Rabble Rousers that need to calm down, so says the Silver Lake Water and Sewer District? If you have an opinion about any of this, make it known.
