Application Filed by Wolff Company
Posted on Aug 9th, 2011
The Wolff Company has resubmitted an application for a Major Modification on the Badger Mountain Public Utility District (PUD). This is why there is a sign posted at the property. The application will now undergo a SEPA (State Environmental Policy Act) review and will likely go to the Planning Commission in September or October for hearings. Neighbors within 300 feet of the land received the "Notice of Application" in their mail. We have attached a copy (below) for your review.
The notice and comment period is for SEPA threshold determination only. There will be another notification to express your view on the application in advance for the Planning Commission hearings. Applewood Estates HOA will keep you advised of review activities and schedules. Anyone desiring to express a view on this SEPA review or to be notified of any decisions pertaining to the application should notify Rick Simon, Development Services Manager, 840 Northgate Dr, PO Box 190, Richland, WA 99352. You may also fax comments to (509) 942-7764.
