Neighbors say they did not receive notice for 306 Center Street right-of-way permit; staff to verify list

Linda, a nearby resident, told the La Conner Town Council on Jan. 23 that she and neighbors first learned about a right-of-way and street-excavation permit for 306 Center Street only after talking with a contractor on the street and checking the town website.

The resident said she did not receive the email notice and asked the town to confirm that notices went to all parties of record. Staff said a message was sent to parties of record and that they would double-check that the notice had been delivered.

Town staff said Faber Construction is the contractor on the project and identified a local point person for questions during construction; staff said the contact card is available on the information table and encouraged residents to reach out to the contractor or to town staff with questions.

No formal action was taken; staff said they would verify the distribution list for the permit notices and ensure maps and contact information are posted with the public-hearing/permit materials as appropriate.

Ending note: Staff invited residents to contact the designated contractor representative or town staff with project questions while the permit moves through review.
