• Snohomish County General Policy Plan (Huge document but Pg 25 has a Table of Contents and there are some really interesting things in here that you can jump to using that page. The UGA Land Use – Urban Growth Areas gives you an idea of what areas they should be choosing to include in the UGA.)

• Pg 10 – #J “There has been early and continuous public participation” does not clarify if the Maltby neighbors surrounding these parcels were ever included, as noted locations of meetings range from Arlington to Monroe.
• Pg 9, #3 – “An area of 17 acres located east of State Rte 522 and north of Paradise Lake Road bordering the existing Maltby industrial area is being added to the UGA for employment capacity. The area is appropriate for addition to the UGA and re-designation from Rural Residential (RR) to Urban Commercial (UC) because the impact to the drainage basin will be minimal with adequate storm water and sewer system, this is a logical expansion of boundaries to area already provided with good access, adequate water and sewer service, and provides economic development opportunities near existing industrial development.”
• Comments were often directed at Wellington Golf Course as much of this amendment dealt with the Brightwater – Wellington exchange
