Summary
Enumclaw councilors unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 2835 (right-of-entry for gas inspections), approved the Boise Creek Cove final plat (18 lots), adopted a Local Road Safety Plan, amended the 2026 Planning Commission work plan, and authorized up to $25,000 for Title 15 consultant work.
The Enumclaw City Council on March 9 adopted a city ordinance authorizing staff to enter buildings for inspections related to natural gas service, approved final plat and subdivision infrastructure for Boise Creek Cove, and adopted a Local Road Safety Plan that identifies priority safety projects around the city.
Council read Ordinance No. 2835 by title and staff recommended approval. The ordinance adds Enumclaw Municipal Code section 14.120.07 to authorize employee access to buildings where natural gas is supplied and provides remedies if inspection access is denied. The council voted to adopt the ordinance by voice vote with no opposition.
Chris Besany, Director of Planning, presented Resolution 1869 and said the Boise Creek Cove final plat shows 18 residential lots on just under 10 acres, with required infrastructure, posted bonds and the hearing examiner's recommended conditions satisfied. Council approved the final plat by voice vote.
Staff presented Resolution 1870, the Local Road Safety Plan, describing nine priority areas with an estimated total program cost of about $21,000,000 to address intersection improvements, LED lighting, striping, rumble strips and pedestrian crossings. Staff said adopting the plan allows the city to pursue grants and loans; the council adopted the plan by voice vote.
On the planning work plan, the council approved an amendment removing a review of building heights in the R-4 and HCB zones from the 2026 docket. Council also approved an authorization for administration to contract with an outside consultant, not to exceed $25,000, to prepare Title 15 amendments needed to comply with state law.
Most motions were approved by voice vote with no recorded dissents. Several motions were made on the floor and seconded; the formal readings and staff reports were provided for each item. City staff will return with any follow-up items and implementation steps as needed.
