It is unreasonable of Whatcom County ti fight this and waste our hard earned money. Senior housing is needed and to block this is a slap in the face to all of us.

I'm a Caregiver in an Assisted Living facility in Bellingham. I see first hand how important a facility like this is needed in the north county area. I plead you use your best judgment and allow this facility to proceed. It is so needed iin today's world. Thank you for your consideration of this important decision.

As a caretaker for my grandmother with Alzheimer's, our family found that it was very difficult to find care facilities for her in Whatcom County. Please do not appeal this decision and let this business be allowed to proceed without undue restrictions. As one of the council members who voted to approve the comp plan you are working from, I know it was never intended to prevent vested projects and you and your county planning staff and attorneys know this too. So please stop wasting taxpayer money fighting this.

Let Lincoln Park Retirement Home Center happen!!! Remove the road blocks and believe the seniors need this facility. They need a place to live.

If ever there was a reason to permit, this is it. Public servants with common sense will show them how to proceed as opposed to trying to look for reasons to deny.

The Lincoln Park Senior Community project sounds like a great opportunity and service for seniors who live in north Whatcom County. It would be providing a continuum of care model--independent living, assisted living, and memory care all in one area.

If I understand this case, the county has denied the permit for Lincoln Park on grounds the Comp Plan in force at the time prohibited the sewer extension the project needs. So, why didn't the county say that at the beginning, before asking the landowners to waste six figures in studies reports and other regulatory compliance costs? Either the county staff is grossly incompetent, or they are larcenous (since all the information from the studies now becomes a matter of public record, that is, the county gets all that data for free). Pathetic at best.

YOUR RATIONALE FOR DENYING OUR COUNTY A HEALTHCARE FACILITY LIKE THIS MAKES AS MUCH SENSE AS YOUR RATIONALE FOR WANTING TO OBLIGATE THE COUNTY TO OVER O N E H U N D R E D M I L L I O N
DOLLARS FOR A JAIL THAT CONSIDERS MENTAL HEALTH AND OTHER NON-IMPRISONMENT OPTIONS AS A MINOR AFTERTHOUGHT!!
THIS RATIONALE R E E K S OF A
HIDDEN AGENDA ON YOUR PART!! AND IT DEFINITELY DOES NOT QUALIFY AS ACTION ON BEHALF OF BENEFITTING THIS COUNTY!!

Whatcom County residents need a state of the art facility that provides dementia care patients with outdoor recreation and outdoor therapy in a safe, holistic setting. Please settle the court case in Snohomish County Superior Court against the LPRHC in Blaine and allow construction of this badly needed facility to begin.
Sincerely,

This project is needed in Whatcom county and will add to Blaine's tax base.

This county's permitting process is ridiculous. There is absolutely no reason for it. It simply stifle's growth and waste's time and money!

This seems like the kind of project that Whatcom County & Planning & permit staff should be advocating for, not protesting.

Above taking care of Seniors, what is the problem with creating JOBS? Bureaucratic nonsense, let the politicians get behind this project.

A greater supply of housing for Alzheimer patients will bring the exorbitant pricing down by competition. It is wrong to deny that which was previously encouraged.
