Given the age and maturity <br />of the project, it is not clear from the public record which of these obligations have been completed, which may have <br />expired and if any remain outstanding. Once an extension is approved, it becomes significantly harder to enforce <br />earlier requirements, particularly those tied to timing or early phases of <br />development. <br /> Granting an extension without first establishing a clear, written record of compliance risks allowing unresolved <br />obligations to be assumed completed or superseded. <br /> If the County elects to proceed with an extension process, I ask that it be conditioned on independent verification of <br />compliance; no waiver or retroactive forgiveness of unmet obligations, clear timelines, reporting requirements. <br />Prioritizing public transparency and accountability are key factors in maintaining the public trust. <br />Thank you, <br />Kathleen Woodward <br />Kathleen Woodward <br />Kw@kathleenwoodward.com <br />www.kathleenwoodward.com <br />206.719.1036
