The eighth candidate for Sammamish City Council filed today.
Melanie L. Curtright, 57, of the Hampton Woods neighborhood in the North end of the city, filed for Position 7. John Robinson and Pamela Stuart previously filed for this position. If none drops out or changes slots, this sets up a primary in August at which the top two advance to the November election.
Wally Pereyra, gearing up for a new land use appeal over development affecting Ebright Creek.
A tiny, two-home short plat is at the heart of what’s likely to be another appeal to protect environmentally sensitive Ebright Creek.
The Sammamish City Staff Monday approved development “to subdivide one parcel comprising approximately 2.97 acres into two single-family residential lots. The site is located to the east of Ebright Creek, west of the Greenbriar subdivision. The site is constrained by the buffer of a Type F stream (Ebright Creek) and landslide hazard area buffers.”
The applicants, Clifford and Pauline Cantor, first filed for development 16 years ago.
Don Gerend
Don Gerend will resign as Sammamish mayor in July, Sammamish Comment learned.
He will remain on the Council.
Reached last night, Gerend said he is resigning the mayoral position for personal reasons, cutting back on his commitments.
The Deputy Mayor is Bob Keller, but it is not a given that he will ascend to Gerend’s spot. Under Sammamish council rules, a vote will be taken at the next meeting after Gerend resigns to select a new mayor.
