The city said the permits have been delayed due to a mixup with the location of a Puget Sound Energy gas line at the site; the garden opening now is likely delayed until next year.
The Community Garden at Beaver Lake has been delayed, likely until 2013, the city of Sammamish said yesterday. Originally, the city hoped to open the garden for planting later this summer.

This means the city must wait for guidance from BPA to finalize permits for the garden. Residents and the city have been actively planning for the community garden for over a year. The city has budgeted $200,000 for the garden, which will be located at Beaver Lake, along SE 24th Street across from 246th Ave SE. The cost stems from bringing water from Beaver Lake Lodge. …
