SEATTLE YACHT CLUB - CORRECTING CONDITION 31 - DECISIONBEFORE THE HEARING EXAMINER
CITY OF BAINBRIDGE ISLAND
In the Matter of the Application for
Conditional Use Permits by
SEATTLE YACHT CLUB SCUP/CUP13042
and the Appeal of the Director’s
Threshold Determination (MDNS) by ORDER CORRECTING
CONDITION 31
MALLUM/FRANZ et al.
The Applicant has correctly observed that Condition #31(b) indicates “16 students” as maximum
sailing class size, but that the Findings and Conclusions refer to a 20 student maximum. The number
16 is a scrivener’s error and CONDITION 31(B) SHOULD BE AND HEREBY IS CORRECTED to read as
follows:
b. Have a maximum limit of 20 students per class.
The parties are also advised that although the postscript to the decision is correct, a more detailed
note concerning further review of a Shoreline Conditional Use Permit decision would be:
The decision of the Hearing Examiner is the final decision of the City in this matter. The
Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE) reviews decisions of this type and the City
shall notify DOE of this decision to initiate that review. Within 30 days of notification, DOE
is to approve, approve with condition or deny a Shoreline Conditional Use Permit approved
by the City. The DOE decision is appealable to the Washington State Shorelines Hearings
Board as provided by RCW 90.58.180 (or its successor); to be timely, petition for review
must be filed within the 21-day appeal period [see BIMC 16.12.380].
Entered this 21st day of September 2006.
