The Growth Management Hearings Board, Western Region, Final Decision and Order on Case No. 17-2-0009 is available here: 2018-06-16_GMHB_SMP_Compliance_order

Of the nine issues identified by the Friends of the San Juans, the Growth Management Hearings Board, dismissed six and directed the County to develop provisions to ensure that: 

•  Mitigation efforts take place within the same watershed as a project's anticipated impacts; 

• Standards applicable to soft shoreline stabilization measures do not contain hard stabilization elements; and

• The County has a mechanism for documenting all project review actions within the shoreline and a process for periodically evaluating the cumulative impact of permitted shoreline development.
