Local realtors, builders urge 'no action' on proposed BLA code citing cost and delay concerns
Summary
Representatives of the Kitsap County Association of Realtors and the Kitsap Building Association told the Planning Commission on March 17 that the draft Boundary Line Adjustment ordinance would add processing steps and costs without demonstrated need. They urged staff and commissioners to allow current county practices or provide clearer fiscal analysis and submittal checklists.
During the commission’s public-comment period, Linda Wood, who identified herself as "president of Kitsap County Association of Realtors," said her organization was "in opposition to the proposed Boundary Line Adjustment Ordinance and to respectfully request that the commission recommend no action" and asked that established county code remain in place.
Jamie Clough, government-affairs director for the Kitsap Building Association, told commissioners the association was not yet able to support the draft and asked for the full list of submittal requirements and a working meeting with surveyors because "in practice, the submittal requirements are what determine how this process functions on the ground, how long it takes, how much it costs." Other long-time realtors in the comment period urged clearer timelines and warned that additional steps could slow real-estate closings.
