Dear Supporters – We are now over 500 signatures in a little more than two weeks!!!. Thank you. I need your help with the following: Sorry this is long, but worth it for all of us. Thanks - Linda
- Please be sure to vote for Brandy Donaghy. Sam Low is owned by the Real Estate/Building industry. See article below, where he works with City of Monroe/State officials on now stalled Finish522 Coalition, but doesn’t tell us in Maltby/Clearview about it. Instead he tells us we have to accept UGA development because of GMA. This is false - all three developments in fact violate GMA((RCW) 36.70A.020[1] & [13])) because they’re surrounded by inadequate infrastructure/no services.

Ideas for comments which affect all three
Failure to include traffic study addressing cumulative effect the three projects will have on each other during mitigation construction and after. - Failure to provide adequate public services-emergency services study addressing cumulative effect the three projects will have on each other during mitigation construction, after. -
Failure to address the objections for Paradise raised by the Snohomish Regional Fire & Rescue review in Dec 2016. These also apply to Moray & Cathcart for the same reasons. Comment by the current Deputy Chief Messer Jan 7, 2021, ".. Sorry for the late response, but yes I can provide comment and have nothing else to include."
From the Fire District 7 letter dated June 19, 2017 "Our comments (below) submitted in December 2016 for this project stand."
1. 'The proposed project presents as an anomaly to the existing land uses in the areas surrounding the subject project. The fire district has not identified this area of the fire district as demanding the level of services necessary to support over 20 dwelling units per acre."
2. "The experience of the fire district is that significant traffic congestion exists in the exact area of the proposed project, and that at times this traffic presents already meaningful delays to emergency services. Providing such a high density project as is proposed can be expected to magnify the level of traffic congestion to an unacceptable level of delay of fire and EMS services. "
3. "Excessive traffic can be expected as a result of limited existing services in the area.
5. "The predictable consequence of inadequate guest parking facilities is the unlawful parking in fire apparatus access roads, and further congestion of fire apparatus access roads."
6. "This proposed project was not a known operational need for the fire district and we feel the infrastructure is not in place to support this proposed project; this proposal is not supported by the strategic plan of Snohomish County Fire District 7."
"We feel that the local comprehensive plan and regulations and conditions of this proposed project do not mitigate all of the significant environmental impacts of the proposed development. We respectfully request, therefore, that you deny site plan approval"
