Council approves Pratt Hills final plat and declares Hargraves stormwater site surplus
Summary
Council adopted Resolution 25-04 declaring certain stormwater utility property surplus after hearing that CAD Homes rerouted stormwater from Hargraves to Pratt Hills; Pratt Hills Final Major Plat was approved with a 150% improvement bond and mitigation for shrub steppe addressed.
During a public hearing opened by Mayor Piercy at 7:10 p.m., Drew Scott of CAD Homes described rerouting original stormwater flows from the Royal CAD Plat (Hargraves & Poplar) to the Pratt Hills Plat to resolve localized drainage issues. City Planner Alex Kovach confirmed the developer assumed the cost of rerouting. The council then adopted Resolution 25-04 "Declaring Certain Real Property Of The City Stormwater Utility Surplus To The Needs Of The City And Directing Its Disposal In A Commercially Reasonable Manner."
Finance Director Janice Flynn addressed an error cited in a recent SourceOne News article, stating that "under the direction of the City attorney, the City declared the property surplus under RCW 35.94.040, which is for city property originally acquired for utility purposes. The RCW referenced in the article is for intergovernmental transfers and does not apply to our situation." The council also approved Pratt Hills Development No. 1 final major plat after staff review, noting a 150% bond of improvements, release of a waterline easement, and that shrub steppe mitigation and possible park impact fees were discussed. The motion to approve the final plat carried (m/s Garcia/Christensen).
