III. DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND
Marymoor Vistas, the final plat of the Duke’s Landing preliminary plat, is a residential development subdividing a 4.27-acre site into 17 single-family, one multi-family duplex residential lot and two open space tracts. The property is zoned R-4.
Marymoor Vistas is located at 11016 132nd Ave NE in Redmond Washington. Access to the development is from 165th Place NE a public road and the plat will dedicate additional right-of-way for 165th Place NE and NE 47th Street, the development’s internal roads.
Duke’s Landing preliminary plat approval was granted by the Hearing Examiner on November 25, 2015. A related right-of-way vacation per Ordinance No. 2814 was passed by the Redmond City Council on January 19, 2016. An administrative modification LAND-2016-00730, of the preliminary plat was approved on September 21, 2016, by the Redmond Technical Committee. This approval allowed a zero-lot line for the single approved duplex and change of location of the duplex units to a lot facing internally to the development.
Marymoor Vistas final plat was submitted by the applicant for staff review on February 8, 2018. Staff has reviewed the list of conditions outlined in the Hearing Examiner’s decision and the related administrative modification and determined that the final plat of Marymoor Vistas conforms to the conditions.
All engineering plans have been approved for the site improvements and significant construction has occurred. Approval of the final plat will allow the applicant to record the final plat with King County and thus create new lots. This approval does not imply final acceptance of the site improvements. A performance guarantee for any incomplete work will be posted with the City prior to recording of the final plat to insure all conditions are fulfilled.
