NOTICE OF A

MITIGATED DETERMINATION

OF NONSIGNIFICANCE (M-DNS) AND

A ZONE CHANGE HEARING

Whitman County Planning issued a Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance (M-DNS) under the State Environmental Policy Act Rules (Chapter 197-11 WAC) for the following project:

Jess Ford proposes to change the zone of an approximately 2.9 acre existing parcel from the Agricultural District to a Limited Heavy Commercial District for a parking lot expansion. The property is located southwest of Pullman, on SR 27, in Section 7, Township 14 N., Range 45 E., W.M., Whitman County, Washington, and is bordered by South Grand Avenue and Harms Road.

After review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with us, the Planning Office has determined that this proposal will not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment.

The public is also notified of the intent to hold a public hearing during a Whitman County Planning Commission meeting on May 3, 2017 at 7:00 PM in the Public Service Building, 1st floor auditorium, N. 310 Main St., Colfax, WA 99111.

Copies of the M-DNS are available at no charge from the County Planning Office, Whitman County Public Service Building (2nd Floor), N. 310 Main St., Colfax, WA 99111. Interested persons may submit environmentally-focused written comments on the SEPA decision by 5:00 PM on Thursday, April 20, 2017, and before 5:00 PM on Wednesday, May 3, 2017 regarding the proposed zone change to the County Planning Office, P.O.

Summons: Notice about Petition to Change a Parenting Plan, Residential Schedule or Custody Order

To: Swannie Lambright and Jeffrey V. Impson

The person filing this Summons and Petition asked the court to change a Parenting Plan, Residential Schedule, or custody order. You must respond in writing for the court to consider your side.

Deadline! Your Response must be served on the other party within 20 days of the date you were served this Summons (60 days if you were served outside of Washington State). If the case has been filed, you must also file your Response by the same deadline. If you do not serve and file your Response or a Notice of Appearance by the deadline:

No one has to notify you about other hearings in this case, and

The court may approve the requests in the Petition without hearing your side (called a default judgment).

Follow these steps:

1. Read the Petition and any other documents you receive with this Summons. These documents explain what the other party is asking for.

2. Fill out the Response to Petition to Change a Parenting Plan, Residential Schedule or Custody Order (form FL Modify 602). You can get the Response and other forms at:

The Washington State Courts’ website: http://www.courts.wa.gov/forms,

The Administrative Office of the Courts – call: (360) 705-5328,

Washington LawHelp: http://www.washingtonlawhelp.org, or

The Superior Court Clerk’s office or county law library (for a fee).

3. Serve (give) a copy of your Response to the person who filed this Summons at the address below, and to any other parties. You may use certified mail with return receipt requested. For more information on how to serve, read Superior Court Civil Rule 5.

4. File your original Response with the court clerk at this address:

Superior Court Clerk, Whitman County

If there is no “Case No.” listed on page 1, this case may not have been filed and you will not be able to file a Response. Contact the Superior Court Clerk or check http://www.courts.wa.gov to find out.

If the case was not filed, you must still serve your Response, and you may demand that the other party file this case with the court. Your demand must be in writing and must be served on the other party or his/her lawyer (whoever signed this Summons). If the other party does not file papers for this case within 14 days of being served with your demand, this service on you of the Summons and Petition will not be valid. If the other party does file, then you must file your original Response with the court clerk at the address above.

5. Adequate Cause: Before the court will have a full hearing or trial about the Petition, one of the parties must ask the court to decide whether there are valid reasons to allow the case to move forward (adequate cause). If there are no valid reasons, the court will dismiss the Petition. Either party can file a Motion for Adequate Cause Decision (form FL Modify 603).

6. Lawyer not required: It’s a good idea to talk to a lawyer, but you may file and serve your Response and other documents without one.

Person filing this Summons fills out below:

I agree to accept legal papers for this case at (check one):
