We have another yet another court victory to celebrate!
On Thursday, March 13 at 7:00, we will have an all-CNW meeting at the Carol Edwards Center (not the firehouse). Please plan to attend. Bring your family, friends, and neighbors. We will discuss:
In addition, we have invited Lane Youngblood, the Woodinville Parks and Recreation Director, to speak about Parks issues in Woodinville.
Judge Dean Lum has upheld the City Council’s right to decide against the Wood Trails and Montevallo rezones. This was a major victory, and Jeanette Knutson of the Woodinville Weekly wrote a nice article about this. The technical documents and legal backing provided by CNW, and supported by all your donations, were significant in supporting the Judge’s decision.
Phoenix hopes to appeal this decision immediately. It is attempting to collect damages from the City concerning their development plans. Judge Lum ruled February 29th that Phoenix cannot appeal until the damage claim is settled.
Why is this important? First, it is important to know that CNW is not affected financially by this damage claim – monetary claims are not directed at CNW. Next, Phoenix must now settle their claims from a weak position, having just lost the court land use ruling. Third, this creates a significant delay in Phoenix’s likely appeal.
"The upshot is that it could be sometime before an appeal from Phoenix would be filed and that is controlled by when the damage claim is finally resolved (at that point all claims in the case would be decided and an appeal could proceed). The City is contemplating a summary judgment motion to try and resolve the matter quickly. The usual time between filing an appeal and resolution by the Court of Appeals is about 18 months."
