Council CAO/Shoreline Master Plan Workshop August 25, 2009

Answers to Questions Submitted by the Public
On August 25, 2009 the San Juan County Council held a special workshop to enable its members to receive information and hear different points of view from experts on issues surrounding Amendments to the County's Critical Areas Ordinance and its Shoreline Master Plan.

The Council sent some questions to workshop participants in advance and members of the public were invited to submit additional questions in writing, however there was not enough time during the workshop to address all that were submitted, so participants and staff were asked to review and address all of the questions.

Links to the answers returned by workshop participants and a separate document which includes all questions not addressed by participants - with responses from County staff where appropriate - follows the list of participants below.
