Council approves one-year extension for DeJong Long Plat Phase 2
Summary
The Lynden City Council voted 6-0 on Nov. 4 to grant a one-year extension for the DeJong Long Plat Phase 2 preliminary approval amid delays; the site is about 9.44 acres and zoned RM-3, and the council cited Lynden Municipal Code 18.18.020 on extension limits.
The Lynden City Council on Nov. 4 granted a one-year extension of preliminary approval for Phase 2 of the DeJong Long Plat after a motion by Councilor Brent Lenssen and a second by Councilor Nick Laninga. The motion passed unanimously 6-0, with Councilor Wohlrab recorded as present for the vote.
Lesa Starkenburg-Kroontje, speaking on behalf of the DeJong family, told the council the family intends to seek final plat approval for Phase 2 but does not anticipate meeting the five-year submission deadline tied to the original preliminary approval. The minutes record the property as approximately 9.44 acres and zoned RM-3; Phase 1 infrastructure was completed and final plat for Phase 1 was granted in July 2021. The council action invokes Lynden Municipal Code 18.18.020, which governs the five-year preliminary plat filing requirement and authorizes one-year extensions (the code limits extensions to two one-year renewals).
