Development means a use consisting of the construction or exterior alteration of structures;<br />

dredging; drilling; dumping; filling; removal of any sand, gravel, or minerals; bulkheading;<br />

driving of piling; placing of obstructions; or any project of a permanent or temporary nature<br />

which interferes with the normal public use of the surface of the waters overlying lands subject<br />

to this chapter at any state of water level. Substantial development means any development of<br />

which the total cost or fair market value exceeds five thousand seven hundred and eighteen<br />

development, conditional use or variance issued by local government shall contain a provision<br />

that construction pursuant to the permit shall not begin and is not authorized until twenty-one<br />

days from the date of filing as defined in RCW 90.58.140(6) and WAC 173-27-1301, or until all<br />

review proceedings initiated within twenty-one days from the date of such filing have been<br />

terminated; except as provided in the SMA (RCW90.58.140(5.b) for Shoreline Hearings board<br />

appeals.<br />

3. The policies, guidelines, and regulations of the SMA (RCW 90.58, WAC 173-26 and WAC<br />

assure consistency of the proposal with the above criteria.<br />
