The work session consisted of presentations and discussions regarding the Council review of the Shoreline
Master Program (SMP). The Shoreline Master Program will regulate the area 200 feet from the ordinary high
water mark through the City and potential annexation areas. The Work Session continued to focus on Shoreline
Environments and Buffers.
As a result of the Work Session, the items below will be forthcoming to Council:
A copy of the letter from FEMA regarding new standards addressing changes in the flood
maps.
A memo outlining what the impacts would be to the City if there were no flood insurance program.
Additionally, due to the information outlined in the most recent letter from the Department of Ecology (DOE),
dated June 30, 2009, several Councilmembers thought it might be useful to have a Work Session focused on
reviewing information contained in that letter.
The next Work Session scheduled for Tuesday, August 11, 2009, will focus on the topic of vegetation
protection and landscaping.
