• 8/20/24 Revised architectural plans and reports submitted to Kitsap County for continued Building Permit review progress. The submittal of the building plans and SDAP plans are a significant event culminating months of thoughtful coordination with our consultants. They in turn have put in much hard work to bring us to a position to achieve permits within the next 6 months to one year depending on the staff workload at Kitsap County.

• (3/8/24) Specialized commercial architect, Salas O'Brien, engaged to complete integration of mechanical, structural and architectural plans.  Principal architect, Arnold Kraakmo, is a sincere believer who is very excited to help the church complete this critical component needed by the General Contractor to obtain construction bids and to efficiently implement the project for completion.

• (12/29/23)  Coordination email sent to LDC consultants regarding their new Project Manager.  Meeting to be held the following week to prepare for upcoming Public Hearing.

• (12/19/23)  Receive word from Kitsap County Planner Darren Gurnee that Conditional Use Permit Hearing has been scheduled for the morning of January 11th.
• (11/28/23) Calvary Chapel Poulsbo Building Committee members meet with LDC (our civil engineering consultant) to discuss beginning the Site Development Activity Permit (SDAP) plans.  These are the civil engineering plans which govern the clearing, grading and utility work needed for the project.  It is a separate permit from the building permit and needs to be issued before the building permit can be issued.  These plans need input from the CUP process which is just now being completed by Kitsap County.
• (11/13/23) Kitsap County Planner, Darren Gurnee informs the project team that Kitsap County Public Works has completed their review of the Right of Way permit submitted 9/12/23.  This is good news since they can now issue the environmental determination and schedule a hearing for the CUP (conditional use permit).  He thinks it will occur in December or January at the latest.  
• (10/18/23) MEP consultant passes on the good news that the energy code will not change until mid-March 2024 at the earliest.  The building permit submittal can easily be achieved prior to that date.
• 9/12/23) Right of Way permit application submitted to Kitsap County by LDC (Civil Engineering Consultant) to allow CUP process to continue.(9/6/23)  Zoom meeting to discuss CCP responses to MEP questions presented by Robison and Associates.  Direction given for them to continue their plan preparation.
• (8/17/23) Kitsap County issues comment letter requesting submittal of Right of Way Permit application to allow their continued processing of the Conditional Use Permit.
• (7/27/23) Robison proposal approved and signed bringing Robison under contract.  Robison MEP plans expected by mid-September to be coordinated with online energy forms thus completing the required elements for building permit submittal ahead of deadline of mid-October.
• (7/13/23) Follow up by our Energy Code consultant leads to conclusion that Mechanical Plans are needed to complete the online forms.  We had been previously informed that these could be submitted later but concurrently we had decided to have Mechanical Plans prepared in order to obtain cost estimates of total project cost.  Thus the pursuit of a Mechanical Plan consultant commenced.
• (6/22/23) “Zoom” conference with Kitsap County staff.  Important meeting where we learn that the new energy code has been delayed to October 29th of this year.  The main purpose of this meeting was to determine whether the documents provided in advance of the meeting constitute a complete application.  While the staff indicated that things “look good”, they wanted a few days to further review the documents and get back to us.
  (6/21/23) Construction plan completed by the Architect.  Still need mechanical, electrical, and fire plans.
• (5/10/23)  Energy calculations begin in earnest.  Goal is to be ready by first of June to combine with other items for pre-submittal conference with Kitsap County staff ahead of Building Permit submittal by end of June.  The new energy code becomes effective July 1.
• (5/3/23)  Building Committee members meet with Kitsap County staff to confirm steps needed to avoid new energy code.  The Permit Technician was very helpful and laid out a process for moving ahead.  Primary goal is to submit for a Building Permit by the end of June to "vest" to the current energy code.  Vesting is a legal term coined by government to provide fairness to applicants well along with their process to allow them to maintain the design being developed per existing codes.  God is good!  We have almost everything we need to submit except for "energy code calculations".  A consultant has been identified to help us with this.
• (4/6/23)  Building committee learns of new energy code changes that could impact building costs.
• (Jan 5, 2023) Paid Kitsap County $10,325 to begin the conditional use permit review. Architect to begin working on construction plans.  Meaning the re-submittal was adequate to begin the review process.  Please PRAY that the County will approve our plan.
• (Dec 5, 2022) We've submitted the conditional use permit (CUP) with Kitsap County!  This is an amendment to the existing CUP allowing us to develop the property for the new building and expansion.
