Re: Preliminary Plat Approval for Oakridge, SUB-04-0148-YL
Dear Mr. Causseaux:
In the preliminary plat approval for the above referenced case, the Community Development Department recommended that certain lots have designated driveway entrances, and house placements
to achieve safe vehicle travel.
In the case of the Oakridge plat, staff recommended that lot no.’s 7, 8, 15, & 16 have the house and driveways oriented towards Cascadian Street. Although this recommendation provides
safe vehicle access, it does not allow the applicant to meet structure setback requirements.
Staff requests to amend the Hearing Examiners decision to allow the houses on these lots to face the cul-de-sac streets, and keep the driveway entrances on Cascadian. This retains vehicle
safety, and allows the applicant to meet the setback requirements of the City.
If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call at (360) 458-8496.
Sincerely,
Tami Merriman
Assistant Planner
Department of Community Development
