Council adopts gas right-of-entry ordinance, subdivision plat and local road safety plan; approves amended planning work plan
Summary
At its March 9 meeting, the Uniontown City Council passed Ordinance 2835 (authorizing right-of-entry for natural gas inspections), approved the Boise Creek Cove final plat and adopted a local road safety plan. The council also amended and approved the 2026 Planning Commission work plan and authorized up to $25,000 for outside consulting.
Uniontown's City Council on March 9 approved a set of routine and policy measures including a municipal ordinance affecting natural gas inspections, a residential subdivision final plat and a local road-safety plan.
The council unanimously passed Ordinance 2835, which adds a right-of-entry provision to the Enumclaw Municipal Code to authorize city employees to access buildings served by natural gas for inspection and provide remedies when inspections are refused. "Staff recommends approval," Brian, the presenting staff member, told the council before a voice vote carried the ordinance.
The council also approved Resolution 1869 to accept the Boise Creek Cove final plat: an 18-lot subdivision on just under 10 acres with required frontage improvements, stormwater detention and posted bonds, Planning Director Chris Besany said. "Staff recommends that the city council find that all the improvements and other requirements for final plat approval have been met," Besany said; the council approved the plat by voice vote.
Council members adopted Resolution 1870, a local road safety plan that identifies nine project areas and a planning-level need of roughly $21 million to address high-risk intersections and pedestrian facilities. Brian said the plan provides a data-driven framework to prioritize countermeasures and to pursue grants and loans; the council recorded its approval by voice vote.
On planning matters, the council voted to remove a proposed review of building heights in the R4 and HCB zones from the 2026 Planning Commission work plan and then approved the work plan as amended. Council also authorized administration to hire an outside contractor for Title 15 amendments related to state compliance, not to exceed $25,000.
All votes on the items above were taken by voice vote and carried without recorded opposition. The actions set the projects in motion and allow city staff to pursue implementation steps, engineered designs and grant applications where applicable.
