Uniontown council approves Sunrise Meadows plat and Tarragon annexation; Kazer/Mezic annexation fails, VFW lease amended
Summary
At its May 11 meeting the council approved the 28-lot Sunrise Meadows final plat, approved the Tarragon annexation (five yes, one no), amended a short-term lease with VFW Post 1949 for senior-center relocation, and rejected the Kazer/Mezic annexation petition. Public comment and staff reports accompanied each item.
Uniontown ' At the May 11, 2026 city council meeting, councilors approved three land- and facility-related measures and rejected one annexation petition after staff presentations and public comment.
The council voted to approve Resolution 18-75, accepting the final plat for Sunrise Meadows, a 28-lot subdivision. City staff (Chris Bass) told the council that all conditions of the preliminary plat (Ordinance 27-88) had been satisfied, infrastructure had been accepted by the city engineer and performance and maintenance bonds posted. "Each of the requirements the applicant has met," the staff report said, and the council approved the resolution by voice vote.
On annexations, the council rejected Resolution 18-76 (the Kazer/Mezic annexation). Staff said the original petition covered two properties but recommended modifying it to include nine additional parcels (11 total) to make a more regular boundary; the annexation area was described as roughly 20 acres with a 2026 County Assessor valuation near $5,000,000. After discussion the motion to approve failed on a voice vote.
The council approved Resolution 18-77, a modified Tarragon annexation. Staff reported the petition (filed 03/24/2026) covered an area the city described as a "donut hole" on the east side of town; staff recommended modifying the request to six parcels totaling about 18 acres and noted stubbed water and sewer connections. The applicant offered to reimburse city review costs and cited fiscal benefits: "by connecting to stubbed infrastructure . . . Enumclaw can expect to bring in over $32,000 per unit in revenue," estimating "about $2,000,000 overall," according to the applicant's presentation. Council Member LaFleur moved to approve; Council Member McBrayer seconded. The clerk recorded five yes votes and one no.
The council also approved Resolution 18-78, a second amendment to the city's lease with VFW Post 1949 to provide temporary exclusive space for senior-center programming during renovation. Parks Director Alina Hibbs said the amendment covers June 1 through Sept. 30, 2026, compensates the VFW $6,800 from the project budget, and includes small ADA improvements; the council approved the amendment by motion.
What happens next: Approved annexations and plats will proceed through the city's administrative steps (boundary review and final recording where applicable); staff noted that applicants may need to pay consultant fees for boundary review board notices and that the city would follow statutory processes for annexations and final plats.
Quotes from the meeting include the staff summary that "the infrastructure . . . including the streets and street frontage improvements, sidewalks, utilities . . . have been installed and accepted by the city engineer," and the applicant's offer that the developer would "reconfirm our commitment to reimburse city review cost for that proposal."
