Bridal Humble (who identified herself as “Tweety” and a Lake Cavanaugh resident) described a contractor-based proposal that would include vegetation clearing, erosion control, excavation to bedrock where necessary, stockpiling materials for wall backfill and reusing ground asphalt concrete as roadway access gravel. “Description, repair a failing roadway at Lake Cavanaugh and construction of Red Rock Rock Wall,” Humble read during her remarks.

Her presentation included technical details such as building the wall upon a twelve-inch foundation and excavating to bedrock or to the bottom of wall construction as required; Humble said the contractor’s proposal was based on dry-weather conditions and called for archaeological monitoring in areas with known tribal artifacts. The clerk moderated the remote presentation after Humble’s feed intermittently cut out; commissioners did not take formal action on the proposal at the Feb. 3 meeting.

Humble’s comments were part of a longer North Shore restoration presentation and the county did not provide a staff response on whether the project would proceed through permitting or require further county review during the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Skagit County - Record of the Proceedings - Monday Session - Feb 03, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A Lake Cavanaugh resident presented details of a proposed restoration project — repairing a failing roadway and constructing the Red Rock rock wall — during the county's public comment period.","taxTitle","Skagit County, Washington","taxId",5125,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6681215,"Appellant asks Skagit County to withdraw objection to intervention in Overlook Crest shoreline hearing",299,937000,1236000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2218002-e066cc825d25c1a43b6190923bd3f797&start=937&end=1236","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2218002-e066cc825d25c1a43b6190923bd3f797/thumbnail_937000.jpg","/articles/6681215/Skagit-County/Washington/Appellant-asks-Skagit-County-to-withdraw-objection-to-intervention-in-Overlook-Crest-shoreline-hearing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6681215-7031b6e666c870749c625173a3b8a7c1/orig.mp4?Expires=1775610705&Signature=DzyZajZ5An478ok4uRUpHauoMmHa67NpllcMEagbYCQGZ8v1oYfOQObmedltn2jJ6WsNTA3zA1ldltqGH9klWHllMZbL2o~x-kq2EKPoQ8alne5N~VFa80Wq3FX66qULAhKTk9lgV1-T~24qScVZfKdL8jrOVJhK98J772ecWMtXwKelY4-48xY4bvY1YcX1hAnCUaKjjc0YgdVlBEW-TzjfzON6GPhQohUU9-ckBasZwSmJjREZwwRPkhPiXpSx2EJtgGEukdq1r712vK4HGukquhckhddRPRTX7I5r-kJ64sd3N~HyfkcXI2-7rmOpZGKcLl0n6g3yODkX9lpIyA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Appellants in an appeal of Overlook Crest shoreline permits asked the Skagit County Board of County Commissioners on Monday to request that county planning staff withdraw an objection to their motion to intervene in a hearing examiner pre-decision conference.

Attorney and appellant Jen Edelstein told commissioners the hearing examiner’s procedural rules adopted in mid-December now require a formal motion to intervene rather than parties participating as of right. She said the appellants filed a motion to intervene and that the applicant has taken no position; planning staff, she said, objected.

Edelstein said appellants have invested “significant time, money, and effort to protect Big Lake” and that they have an expert stormwater witness they plan to schedule. She criticized the planning staff’s objection and urged commissioners to ask staff to reconsider. “They say that we are not aggrieved because they, the planning staff, will adequately represent our interests,” Edelstein said. “Please help us get a chance to effectively make our case at the next hearing.”

The board responded that staff would be asked to review the recording and respond. No formal board action was taken during the Feb. 3 session on the motion to intervene; Edelstein requested the board urge staff to replace its objection with support for intervention if staff cannot identify a legally sufficient reason for objecting.","Jen Edelstein, representing appellants, asked the Board of County Commissioners to ask planning staff to withdraw its objection to a motion to intervene in an upcoming hearing examiner pre-decision hearing on the Overlook Crest shoreline permits.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6681220,"Skagit County commissioners approve consent agenda including service agreements, vendor contracts",341,436000,777000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2218002-e066cc825d25c1a43b6190923bd3f797&start=436&end=777","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2218002-e066cc825d25c1a43b6190923bd3f797/thumbnail_436000.jpg","/articles/6681220/Skagit-County/Washington/Skagit-County-commissioners-approve-consent-agenda-including-service-agreements-vendor-contracts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6681220-3aa89456779b9f8d8b720435eae5aebb/orig.mp4?Expires=1775610705&Signature=C6UmBkxIN-a5jM-coiWv2u5cePQvC0Ld9VhFMDDRyzfjHRX7EkE7mpzgkfhMWMiUiz-IRLdo~QIfKv0nqbk3Q8YOmvIo0314CE03Gsu~azTcub4qp3e7f2LqKc41s92Ke8a0GO92wXrB8ewMOkE9FK6FaUHLlkkaEEenNvh-9C1Z1olMIhst7IV2jMpGLrnlCFkQxkeukb1BrsB49Vo24-bivveQ52ykb4dXID6Nl9BvntLcwnpzTXjaByul-ZAoh6g4rtgc8LAYstkCGCLdmpTxZ1UNQZfpxa-t8BZ0jar1eFWhE2HeoPnHBKvALHI6P-c6IY7~goOHmOhMXkvJ1w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Skagit County Board of County Commissioners approved the consent agenda items 1 through 32 at its Feb. 3, 2025 meeting, the board announced after a motion and second during the public session.

The consent agenda included personal-service and vendor agreements highlighted by commissioners during the meeting: a personal-service agreement with Tenfold Health to support the county’s Northstar work; a personal-service agreement with Dr. Mike Lankard (DO) to provide medical oversight for Emergency Medical Services; a contract for a water line installation near Presentine Park and archaeological monitoring by the Parks and Recreation department near Marblemount; a personal-service agreement with Recovery Cafe of Skagit County; agreements with the Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group for habitat and restoration assistance; and a vendor service agreement with Sunshine Tree Care for removal of large trees the county’s crews cannot safely handle.

Commissioners praised the programs during general remarks: one commissioner said Tenfold Health’s Northstar work helps reduce costs related to homelessness and substance and mental-health issues; another thanked physicians who support EMS. The board’s motion to approve the entire consent agenda passed with “aye” from those present and no recorded opposition in the meeting audio.

Robbie Acroft, senior planner with the county, told commissioners the comprehensive plan update has been underway for a year and the department expects to finish an internal draft by June 30, 2025. “We are required by state law to finish, by the end of December this year,” Acroft said, noting that the department released preliminary policies for public review last year and will release a full draft this month.

The work plan also lists a countywide planning policy update that, Acroft said, sets a framework “for not only Skagit County but all of the cities and towns in Skagit County” so jurisdictions coordinate on housing and employment growth. The county has scheduled a public hearing and possible action on the countywide planning policy for March 25, 2025, and the department reported it has released the comprehensive plan environmental checklist and issued a determination of nonsignificance while completing a 60-day review by the Washington State Department of Commerce.

Acroft said the Skagit Council of Governments and an advisory steering committee that includes elected officials and municipal planners have reviewed drafts and provided feedback. “Everyone came back with feedback and then the steering committee in December, which includes all the electeds, made a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners to adopt that proposal,” he said.

The work plan includes continued work on agritourism code amendments. Acroft said the board previously remanded recommended agritourism code changes back to the Planning Commission and the Agricultural Advisory Board for additional study and that a community task force will be formed and run through roughly June, with draft policies to follow later in the year.

A new item in the 2025 plan is a departmental request to examine siting rules for clean-energy generation and storage facilities. Acroft said the department intends to “specify what these facilities are, remove them as a utility development, and then figure out where in the county do these belong,” to guide review of future proposals and reduce the need for adjudicative state review for facilities proposed in zones where they would otherwise be prohibited.

Commissioner Wiesen, responding to Acroft’s presentation, said the county should be attentive to differences between power generation and storage and to state-level siting processes. “This is really important because for some of us, first of all, to go against the county's zoning rules for the creation of power would be one thing, but the storage of power is something totally different,” Wiesen said.

Acroft emphasized the work plan is a mix of items required by state law and items the department is proposing for local review; he said any future proposals that the public or commissioners dislike could be revised during the process.

The planning items were presented as part of the consent agenda for Feb. 3; the consent agenda later was approved by the board (see separate article on consent approvals).","Skagit County Planning and Development Services presented a 2025 legislative work plan that highlights a comprehensive plan update, countywide planning policy revisions, agritourism code work and a new review of siting rules for clean-energy generation and storage.","actionData","errors"]
