White Papers Explained - SnoKing Watershed Council

Please follow and like us:

Snohomish County codes have many loopholes that allow developers and the Planning Department to clear areas/develop land without navigating proper channels. The White Papers are short documents, each describing an aspect of Snohomish County’s land use/stormwater regulations or permit processing that we feel should be improved. Each page is a suggestion on how to better execute/amend certain codes to eliminate loopholes.

This is a slide show our Engineer and Board Member Bill Lider presented to Snohomish County. This is more of a supplementary presentation than explanation of the White Papers. This presentation is meant to be an addition to the regular document (see previous post).

Unfortunately, Snohomish County didn’t read the White Papers and see the document as incomplete and unnecessary. We will keep trying to push for the White Papers to close these legal loopholes, maybe even taking it to the State.
