and appeals incorporated in the final approval for Olhava Master Plan of June 3, 1998. Impact fees are
implemented through the Development Agreement from April 2004.
Environmental Review: The City of Poulsbo has reviewed the proposed project for probable adverse

requirements. The optional DNS process is being used as authorized by WAC 197-11-355 and Poulsbo
