On November 5, 2010 Save The Trees-Seattle appeared in a LUPA hearing before Justice Theresa Doyle. This hearing was to argue for an EIS to be performed by the Seattle School District before removing any trees from the Ingraham campus. Also, Save The Trees-Seattle asked that the MUP granted by DPD be denied.
Among the many errors that the District, past Hearing Examiners and DPD have made; Save The Trees Seattle limited the arguments to two specific issues.
The first issue being the lack of an EIS that would evaluate the campus for Environmental sensitivity regarding the entire site and how that interacts with the City.
The other issue was regarding the way DPD evaluated (or lack there of) the site to protect the rare plant habitat.
Currently Justice Theresa Doyle is reviewing Transcripts (3 hearings), Briefs and other evidence provided by DPD, Seattle School District and Save The Trees--Seattle.
We will post the decision.
