Poulsbo planning commission recommends Cedar View at Glenwood subdivision for approval
Summary
The Planning Commission voted July 28 to recommend approval of Cedar View at Glenwood, a 22-lot planned residential development on 4.92 acres in northwest Poulsbo, after staff presentations and neighbor questions about construction access and mitigation.
The Poulsbo Planning Commission voted July 28 to recommend approval to the hearing examiner of the Cedar View at Glenwood planned residential development and preliminary subdivision, a proposal for 22 single-family lots on 4.92 acres in northwest Poulsbo.
Ashley Weller of the planning and economic development department summarized the proposal and staff review, saying, “We are here this evening requesting planning commission provide a recommendation to the hearing examiner on Cedar View at Glenwood planned residential development and preliminary subdivision.” She told commissioners the application includes 22 single-family lots, lot sizes ranging from 4,504 to 6,283 square feet (average about 5,005), and that the project provides the required 15 percent open space. Weller also noted a SEPA determination issued July 6, 2026, with two mitigations addressing endangered species and historic/cultural preservation and that no appeals were filed before the July 20 appeal deadline.
Donald Washburn, representing engineering and public works, said the project complies with construction standards and code requirements as conditioned and confirmed utilities and stormwater measures. “Therefore, engineering is recommending approval of the project as conditioned,” he told the commission, citing a stormwater pond proposed east of the site and a hammerhead turnaround that meets fire access requirements.
Applicant Jeff Sherwin of Trumark Homes thanked staff and said the developer is prepared to work through conditions: “We have no conditions, any condition, any issues, sorry, any issues with the conditions of approval at the moment and look forward to getting hearing in the next few weeks.” After staff responses to questions about document wording and a copy-paste error in a condition (which staff said they would correct), a commissioner moved and a second carried the recommendation to the hearing examiner; the motion passed by voice vote.
The commission authorized the chair to sign the Planning Commission findings of fact, conclusions, and recommendation. The hearing before the examiner is scheduled for August 12, 2026.
