Good Morning Cynthia,
We are requesting the hearing to continue on Feb 8th. The county has forwarded their
concerns and we are ready to respond to the comments. Currently this issue has delayed our
project over 3 months and it will be a substantial hardship if we are not allowed to continue at
this point in time.
We look forward to talking on Feb 8 and resolving the issues that the county has raised.
Thanks again for your help,
Steve and Lisa Leighton

Hello Cynthia,
The County will be requesting an extension to a date in March. A continuance of the
existing hearing date is necessary for several reasons. The County anticipates calling at least
4 expert witnesses. Several of these witnesses are unavailable for the near term future, as
they dealing with recent mudslides on County property. In addition, a key witness will be
out of state and unavailable Feb. 9th thru Feb. 21st. The County will propose a specific date
after it has learned the availability of its witnesses.

Hello Parties,
I serve as the Hearing Examiner that will be hearing the King County/Leighton appeal.
Do the parties wish to have an order requiring an exchange of witness and exhibits lists?
The order would require that each of the parties submit a witness/exhibit list about a week
in advance of the hearing. The lists would identify all witnesses and exhibits that would
be presented at the hearing. Concurrently with exchange of the witness/exhibit lists, the
parties would also be required to exchange exhibits (preferably by email).
