- Boundary Line Adjustment (to merge three parcels into one parcel)

SEPA - Environmental Review
ISD is required by the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) to notify the public when a SEPA checklist is available for review and comment. The checklist must identify any potential environmental impacts. Since ISD is the SEPA Lead Agency, all comments are to be directed to the ISD contact:

Process
The permits required by the SMC do not include a public hearing process. Since there is no appeal process through the City of Sammamish, any appeals must be filed with the State of Washington Superior Court, in accordance with the Land Use Petition Act (Chapter 36.70C RCW).
