Stop The Ironwood Development
Donation protected
This fund will support the Sno-King Watershed council's (http://snokingwatershedcouncil.org/) appeal of the proposed 88-home Ironwood Development located between Clover, Bellflower and North Roads in Bothell, WA.
Our goal is to raise $10,000, which will go towards hiring environmental, engineering and other expert witnesses as well as legal fees. All funds will be donated to the Sno-King Watershed Council to lead the appeal. SKWC is a well-established non-profit that has the experience appealing other developments in Shohomish County.
Our deadline to raise funds is July 31.
We are appealing the project because:
- The land which includes a stream that connects to North Creek, is heavily forested and home to Woodpeckers, Owls and other diverse species, and other Priority Habitat Species and is classified by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife as a sensitive area.
- The builder is planning to fill a steep ravine and has not received approval for the sewer system from the local water agency AWWD. (See what happened to another similar development in Edmonds that was clear cut and now can not be built: https://www.heraldnet.com/news/frognal-property-up-for-auction-over-debt-developer-says-no/)
- The development is too dense for an already crowded area with heavy traffic congestion.
- The builder has applied for numerous exemptions that will allow them to minimize the cost of installing required landscaping and space between houses so they can maximize their profit.
