Poulsbo advances acquisition of 1.7-acre wetlands mitigation parcel near Fish Park
Summary
Council received a workshop briefing on a 1.7-acre wetlands mitigation parcel adjacent to Fish Park and the Klingle property; staff said WSDOT is surplusing nearby acreage and council approved a small real-estate-fee allocation while expecting the transfer process to take up to two years.
City staff described a newly available 1.7-acre wetlands mitigation parcel near Fish Park and the Klingle property and said the city is in discussions with WSDOT about property transfer following a mitigation period. Staff noted the parcel would function as passive parkland with potential trails and connections to existing open space.
Mayor told the council the original mitigation agreement envisioned returning acreage to the city after the mitigation period expired; staff said council previously approved $8,000 to cover real-estate fees toward finalizing the transfer and cautioned that the process with WSDOT could take up to two years. Councilmembers welcomed the potential for a centrally located passive park and asked staff to continue negotiations and follow up on trail connectivity.
