A. The Mayor is authorized, with the assistance of the Town Clerk and other persons designated by the Mayor, to administer this chapter and to employ other officers to perform administrative functions related to the designated administrative actions.

B. Applications by property owners for permits or actions under Titles 13 and 14 shall have only one open record hearing which shall be held before the Town of Woodway Hearing Examiner consistent with the procedural requirements of WMC Chapter 2.56, or the Planning Commission, as specified in Titles 13 and 14. Review and final action or hearing of appeals by the Town Council shall be considered to be a “closed record appeal.”

C. Where the Town reviews more than one application for a given development, all applications required for the development may be submitted for review at one time and the procedures integrated to avoid multiple hearings. The Town may combine public hearings or meetings regarding a land use action with other agencies having jurisdiction. The procedure established shall provide notice and opportunity to participate.

D. At any time prior to the open record public hearing an applicant or any property owner within six hundred feet of the boundary of an applicant’s property may request from the Mayor an administrative interpretation of Woodway ordinances related to an application. A request for an administrative interpretation shall be made consistent with the provisions of Section 14.04.020 of the Code (Interpretation of provisions). (Ord. 01-412 §1 (Exh. 1 (part)), 2001; Ord. 319 §III, 1996)
