March 24, 2020 Consolidated Hearing – Plat of Brickyard Creek File #2019-389

Applicable law requires the appeal of a threshold determination be consolidated with the hearing of the underlying permit. Thus, the hearing will take place in two parts. The Hearing Examiner will first hear the MDNS appeal, followed by an open record hearing on the PRD application. If the MDNS appeal is granted, no decision on the PRD application will be made until environmental review is completed. If the MDNS appeal is denied, the PRD application will be decided. The public is welcome to observe the appeal hearing, but public comment may only be given during the PRD application portion of the hearing that follows the appeal hearing.

In an effort to help slow the spread of the novel coronavirus and promote public health, the City of Sedro-Woolley has closed the doors of city hall to the public. To ensure that the hearing for the Brickyard Creek PRD SEPA Appeal / PRD open record public hearing can proceed as scheduled and accommodate public participation, the city is providing opportunity for an online meeting through the GoToMeeting online meeting platform. See the Notice of Public Hearing and Notice regarding the consolidated hearing format.
