HomeMy WebLinkAboutCitys Decision re Reconsideration Decision August 12, 2020 Hamid G. Korasani, P. E. SAZEI Design Group, LLC 6608 110th Ave NE Kirkland, WA 98033 SUBJECT: Request for Reconsideration – 24th Street Short Plat (LUA19-000062, SH-P, MOD) Dear Mr. Korasani: We received your timely request for reconsideration of the amended administrative decision related to 24th Street Short Plat (LUA19-000062, SH-P, MOD). The amended decision eliminated condition of approval number 4, which was previously required as part of the original Short Plat decision (dated October 4, 2019). On October 4, 2020, the City issued the original approval of the 24th Street Short Plat, LUA19 - 000062, with conditions. Condition number 4 of the decision required the following: The applicant shall install a cedar fence between the new public half -street (NE 24th Street) and the private street to the north. The cedar fence shall be identified on the civil construction permit application, for review and approval by the Current Planning Project Manager, prior to Civil Construction Permit issuance. The cedar fence shall be installed prior to short plat recording. This decision was later amended to eliminate condition of approval number 4 described ab ove, which was issued on July 20, 2020. Your request for reconsideration seeks to revert the decision back to the previous decision dated October 4, 2019, and specifically, to retain condition of approval number 4 as previously approved. Your reconsideration request states that no explanation was provided in the amended decision dated July 20, 2020. Explanation for the removal of condition of approval number 4 was provided in the amended decision as shown in the underlined text. Hamid G. Korasani, P.E. Page 2 of 2 August 12, 2020 On February 28, 2020, the applicant submitted an application and engineering plans for Civil Construction Permit review. Review of the Civil Construction Permit engineering plans determined that the condition requiring construction of the fence between the existing private street and proposed 13-foot wide public street will create safety hazards that cannot be mitigated while simultaneously meeting the condition of approval (Exhibit 15 of the amended decision). Decision: Therefore, the reconsideration request for retainment of the condition of short plat approval, number four (4), for the 24th Street Short Plat, LUA19-000062, is Denied. This decision to reconsider the amended Short Plat Decision is subject to a 14-day appeal period. The above decision will become final if not appealed in writing to the Hearing Examiner on or before 5:00 PM on August 26, 2020.
