City planning staff recommends approval of Knoll Point subdivision with conditions
Summary
City planner Edie Berghof told the hearing Knoll Point meets Poulsbo's development standards with SEPA mitigations and recommended conditions, including a tree-retention review (Condition P-20); the project proposes 69 lots on 15.12 acres with 15% open space.
Edie Berghof, senior planner for Poulsbo's planning and economic development department, summarized the Knoll Point Planned Residential Development and told the hearing staff's review found the proposal meets city code with SEPA mitigations.
"Knoll Point is a planned residential development and preliminary subdivision proposal," Berghof said, explaining the plan calls for 69 single-family lots on 15.12 acres, about 4.6 units per acre, and approximately 2.27 acres of open space (15 percent). She said a roughly 6,300-square-foot park and pedestrian trails are shown and that the homeowners association would manage common open spaces and amenities.
Berghof noted the application was reviewed under the state-required timeframe, that SEPA determinations and exhibits (33'37 and subsequent signed versions) are in the record, and that the Planning Commission recommended approval with three modifications and corrections. She said staff is requiring Condition P-20 to address outstanding tree-retention details through follow-up arborist review before grading or tree removal occurs.
Berghof also explained compatibility requirements with the adjacent Avondale Glen subdivision, saying the applicant provided similar lot widths, depths and building envelopes to meet the city's perimeter-similarity standards. She closed by noting the public comment and appeal periods had closed with no appeals filed at the time of the hearing.
