Notice to Homeowners
Posted By Dwight on February 20, 2009
PROPOSED ORDINANCES FROM THE CITY OF SAMMAMISH WILL AFFECT YOUR PROPERTY RIGHTS AND PROPERTY VALUES!
IT’S NOT TOO LATE!! JOIN YOUR NEIGHBORS IN STANDING UP AND SPEAKING OUT AGAINST UNREASONABLE RESTRICTIONS ON
- Building or re-building your dream house on the lake
- Building or repairing your dock or bulkhead
- Adding a garage, a greenhouse or addition to your home
- Landscaping, lighting, and much more…
The City of Sammamish is updating its Shoreline Master Plan which will affect anyone with property within 200 feet of the shorelines of Lake Sammamish, Beaver Lake and Pine Lake. The new plan — currently under consideration — imposes significant restrictions on our homes and properties. Once adopted, these rules will be very difficult to change. Now is the time to take action and ensure the changes not only preserve and enhance our lakes as important natural resources but also preserve the rights of property owners along their shores.
Many of your neighbors have joined together as the Sammamish Homeowners in an effort to understand the proposed changes and work together to protect our rights. We are making a concerted effort to contact Sammamish City Council members and voice our concerns through writing letters, meeting with Council members and the Mayor, and attending Council meetings. Time is short however — we have only a few months for us to make a difference. We need help from all of you along the lake…and now!!
If you too are concerned, please contact us via email at [email protected] to be added to our contact list. Talk to your neighbors about the City’s plan, become familiar with the changes that could soon affect all of us, and join us at our next meeting!
