On January 21 the Shoreline City Planning Commission meeting addressed the issue of the Crista Master Plan. There were so many unanswered questions and so many public comments that they were unable to complete their decision and the meeting was “continued” for a month to this Thursday February 18,at 7 pm in the city Hall Council Chambers, 17500 Midvale Ave N.

There was a large turn-out of more than 80 people. Many gave public comments and the Commissioners allowed extra time for all to speak. The meeting went on until 11 pm. There will not be an opportunity for public comments at this week’s meeting unless there is new material to be presented. It is still possible to email comments to Planner Steve Safran.

The large turn-out had real impact on the Commissioners and we would like to see it again. They asked good questions and requested much more information which will be discussed Thursday evening. The city is not sending out notices regarding this meeting as technically it is a continuance of the last one. Firlands Good Neighbor League did send out a bright yellow postcard reminder. FGNL has all documents and mitigations posted on their website along with links to the city website.

Thank you for coming to the last meeting and please join us for this one too. We can make a difference.
