THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, WASHINGTON,
DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1 The Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation of the Hearing Examiner (File
No. SUB 11-21-97-1), attached as Exhibit "A," is adopted as the final decision of the City
Council, except as follows:
1. Finding No. 6 is amended to read as follows:
Access to the site is from Weaver Road Northeast. Moji Lane is proposed to
extend through the plat to Weaver Road Northeast, which will serve to connect
Weaver Road Northeast with Lovell Avenue. Exhibit 2. At the public hearing,
testimony was submitted regarding the need for a street connection between
Weaver Road Northeast and Lovell Avenue. The City's engineering consultants
recommended the roads be 24 feet wide with rolled curb and gutter on each side
of the road, consistent with Semi-Rural/Rural standards. Exhibit IF. In order to
save some of the trees in the southwest portion of the plat, the road in the "s"
section could be reduced to 18 feet. The record indicates a need for a connecting
road between Weaver Road Northeast and Lovell Avenue. The connection would
be consistent with the West End Infrastructure Ordinance No. 89-24. Access
within the proposed subdivision would be provided by Strawberry Lane. That
access would be from Weaver Road Northeast to intersect Moji Road within the
proposed plat. All lots, with the exception of lots 17 and 18 would have direct
access from Moji Lane or Strawberry Lane. Lots 17 and 18 will have access by
way of a driveway easement. Exhibit 2; Testimony of Ms. Donnelly.
2. Conclusion No. 2 is amended to read as follows:
Conditions of approval are necessary to ensure consistency between applicable city
codes and regulations used as the criteria for review of this application as described
above. In addition to those conditions recommended by the city planning staff in
Exhibit 1, the Hearing Examiner concludes that revised conditions of approval are
necessary to reduce traffic impacts, to ensure suitable development of affordable
housing and to ensure protection of open space. Specifically, the Hearing
Examiner concludes that Weaver Road Northeast may be connected to Lovell
Avenue; that the affordable housing shall be required to be of the same design as
the market-based housing; and that the open space must be placed within
conservation easements. Certain conditions as proposed in Exhibit 1 should be
modified and new conditions should be added. These revised conditions of
approval are necessary to protect the public interest. Findings of Fact No. 5, 6, 10,
13 & 14.
3. Condition No. 19 is amended to read as follows:
The roads shall be 24 feet wide with rolled curb and gutter on each side of the
road, except that the road from the northwest corner of lot 21 to the eastern
boundary of the subject property shall be 18 feet wide. The 18-foot wide portion
of road shall be located so as to avoid significant trees to the greatest extent
possible. All roads and hydrants shall be installed and approved prior to any
combustible construction on the site.
