(1) All Type 2 hearing examiner decisions may be appealed to the county council except for shoreline substantial development permits and permit rescissions, shoreline conditional use permits, and shoreline variances, which may be appealed to the state shorelines hearings board pursuant to SCC 30.44.250 and RCW 90.58.180.

(2) An appeal to the county council may be filed by any aggrieved party of record. Where the reconsideration process of SCC 30.72.065 has been invoked, no appeal may be filed until the reconsideration petition has been disposed of by the hearing examiner. An aggrieved party need not file a petition for reconsideration but may file an appeal directly to the county council. If a petition for reconsideration is filed, issues subsequently raised by that party on appeal to the county council shall be limited to those issues raised in the petition for reconsideration.

(3) Any aggrieved party of record may appeal a decision on reconsideration.

(4) Appeals shall be addressed to the county council and shall be filed in writing with the department within 14 days following the date of the hearing examiner’s decision.

(5) A filing fee of $500 shall be submitted with each appeal filed; provided that the fee shall not be charged to a department of the county. The filing fee shall be refunded in any case where an appeal is summarily dismissed in whole without hearing under SCC 30.72.075.
