7. COUNCIL BUSINESS <br /> 7.01: Review Sketch Plan for Harvest Estates 2nd Addition; Case of Meadowbrook <br /> Development(Project#18-161) <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill reviewed the staff report and stated that the purpose <br /> of the case is to review the Sketch Plan prepared by Landform in collaboration with <br /> Meadowbrook Development for the purpose of creating 15 new lots next to the Harvest Estates <br /> development at 15153 Nowthen Boulevard NW. The site is home to the old municipal center <br /> and was platted with the previous Harvest Estates project as Lot 25, Block 1 of Harvest Estates. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma asked if a new traffic study has been done as this proposal would <br /> include additional homes. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill noted that while a traffic study was not done for this <br /> specific project, there were updated traffic figures from the Comprehensive Plan process. He <br /> stated that this would be a 15-home development and all roads would continue to operate at an <br /> acceptable rate. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove stated that this is located in her ward and there was a comment that <br /> the County would like to have the development entrance and 151St equal and asked staff for <br /> input. She stated that the terrain between the existing homes and the area proposed to be filled <br /> has a steep slope and asked for details on water retention. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill confirmed that the County and City would like to <br /> see alignment between the entrance and 151St. He stated that would not happen at this point but <br /> would be part of a long-term vision for the Nowthen corridor. He noted that the realignment <br /> would require working with a property owner that would lose a portion of their property to make <br /> that possible. He stated that the area is fairly depressed and stated that the grade of the existing <br /> stormwater pond would be maintained and the stormwater for this portion of the site would <br /> remain onsite and would not impact the existing homes. <br /> Mayor LeTourneau confirmed the consensus of the Council in support of the 65-foot lot widths <br /> and sketch plan as proposed. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill noted that fill will begin to be brought to the lot in <br /> the next week and advised that residents in that area have been notified. He stated that there will <br /> be a number of opportunities for residents to provide input on the process in the future as this <br /> case moves forward formally. <br /> 7.02: Consider Purchase Agreement on Lot 25, Block 1, Harvest Estates for Harvest <br /> Estates 2" Addition (former Municipal Center); Case of Meadow Creek Builders <br /> (Portions of this case may be closed to the public) <br /> City Council/December 11,2018 <br /> Page 9 of 18 <br />
