§ 20.25.090. Notice.

A.

Affected property owners are defined as persons who own property within a proposed subdivision, and persons who own property within 600 feet of the boundaries of the proposed subdivision. The planning director shall determine whether additional property owners are affected based on population, density, ownership data, topography and facilities in the area of the subdivision.

B.

Notice of public hearing shall appear at least once in a newspaper of general circulation stating:

a.

a general description of the subdivision or replat;

b.

who filed the subdivision petition;

c.

when the subdivision petition was filed;

d.

the time and place of the hearing on the subdivision; and

e.

the process and deadline for submittal of comments.

(1)

written comments may be submitted by mail, hand-delivery, email or facsimile.

C.

The notice in subsection B shall be sent by regular mail to the affected property owners at least 14 days prior to the public hearing. A certificate of mailing listing the names, addresses and parcel information for each notified owner shall be maintained in the subdivision file.

D.

Parties whose sole interest in the subdivision is as a beneficiary of a deed of trust, as shown on the certificate to plat, shall be sent certified mail notice by the planning department. If a beneficial interest holder does not respond within 30 days of the date of mailing indicating that the deed of trust either prohibits or allows the proposed platting action, or requires their signature on the plat, the plat may be approved. The owner may submit a letter of non-objection from the beneficial interest holder with the plat in lieu of the notice requirement. If the final certificate to plat shows additional beneficial interest holders, and they have not signed the plat or provided a letter of non-objection, the planning department will send them notice and give them a 30 day response time prior to approval of the final plat.

E.

Copies of the subdivision proposal will be provided to other agencies and borough departments that may be affected by the subdivision proposal for review and comment.
