Kirkland attorney to work with planning committee on rezoning in flood-prone Kirkwood subdivision
Summary
The board discussed rezoning the Kirkwood subdivision to address flood-zone restrictions and nonconforming uses; Village Attorney Matthew Walters will work with the Planning and Zoning Committee on rezoning measures so rebuilt homes would be slab-only (no basements).
The Village of Kirkland opened discussion on rezoning the Kirkwood subdivision because of flood‑zone restrictions and nonconforming uses. President Block asked whether the village could rezone the subdivision so that if a home is destroyed it could be rebuilt only on a flat slab and no longer include basements.
Village Attorney Matthew Walters said he will "work with the Planning and Zoning Committee to move forward with rezoning Kirkwood Subdivision due to Flood Zone restrictions and Non‑conforming Use." No formal rezoning ordinance or timeline was adopted at the March 16 meeting; Walters will report back with recommended next steps to the board and the Planning and Zoning Committee.
