Rath Final Plat Denied...Numerous Memo
To: Mayor Parnell, Mayor Pro tem Harper, Town Council, Town Clerk From:
Greg Wilder Date:
January 12, 2004 Re:
Hamner Springs (Rath Addition) Final Plat Attached you will find a copy of a
letter recently posted to Mr. Douglas Randles and Bruce Rath regarding
the referenced final plat process and project. As it is, most of the
legislative and process requirements to complete the final plat have been
concluded or appropriate and allowable arrangements have been made
accordingly. However, many of the determinations
established by the Mitigated Determination of Non Significance (MDNS)
have not been met and the town has not yet reached agreement as necessary.
The unmet MDNS conditions include item *#2,
4, and 5… a copy of these requirements is attached to this memo. Town
staff, the Planning Commission, the Board of Adjustment and/or the Town
Council cannot waive, reduce or otherwise adjust these requirements without
a necessary public hearing by the Planning Commission and/or the Board of
Adjustment and Town Council. To
that end, we still are pursuing and persisting in a request that these
conditions be met before a final plat is moved forward for your review and
adoption. The developer must dedicate property
and build a reservoir (or alternatively contribute and work with the
town for the construction of a new reservoir), must dedicate offsite
easements for sanitary and other public utilities as appropriate and
necessary, must conduct a traffic analysis to determine the impacts and
affects on transportation concurrency requirements (a copy of our
concurrency ordinance is also attached to this memo), must provide for any
transportation concurrency mitigation as may be identified by a
traffic/transportation analysis, and must comply (without substantial
deviation) with any and all other requirements established by the MDNS
process. "Rath Addition" Final Plat Letter January 12, 2004 CERTIFIED MAIL / RETURN RECEIPT Doug Randles Bruce Rath Re:
Hamner Springs Final Plat (Rath Addition) Dear Mr. Randles: As you know, the town’s code,
together with requirements of Pierce County and Washington State
Statutes, govern the process and procedures for the filing and approval of a
final plat. In addition, there are other regulatory requirements established
by the Town and other state agencies. As well, as you are aware, the Town
has adopted the Pierce County Storm Manual and all the terms and conditions
thereto are applicable to your final plat requirements as well. The Town has worked with you in
establishing the terms and conditions required for moving your plat
forward for council review, adoption, and acceptance of public facilities.
These rules and requirements are imbedded in our code and remain the owners
/ developers responsibility for compliance. We have provided you with the
necessary information and support to help guide you to that end. Your final
plat process compliance is, for the most part complete.
However, we still do not have the required plat drawings with
applicable plat notation and other related detail, including as-constructed
plans and documentation. This is not a large matter, only one that requires
your attention and submission accordingly. We have reviewed and concurred
with your proposal to bond certain improvements for construction at a later
date. In addition, we have
worked with you to insure the appropriate and applicable maintenance bonds
as required by Town code. The Planning Commission, Board of
Adjustment, and Town Council established terms and conditions for the
preliminary subdivision. For the most part these general terms and
conditions have been met. However, a Mitigated Determination of Non
Significance (MDNS) was also considered part of your process and it
identified five items requiring compliance. A copy of that MDNS is included
for your records
