III. DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND
Greystone PRD Phase IV is the final plat of phase IV of the approved Greystone Manor PRD preliminary plat and planned residential development. This phase is a residential development subdividing an 8.40-acre site into 50 single-family lots and 4 tracts along with dedication of public roads and is the last phase of four phases to be developed. The property is zoned R-4.
Greystone PRD Phase IV is located along the westerly portion of the approved preliminary plat and northerly of the completed developments of the other three phases of this four-phase development, see Attachments B and B-1 for reference. Access to Greystone PRD Phase IV is from NE 116th Street and other public roads constructed during the development of the Greystone PRD Phases I and II and Greystone Phase III East and Greystone PRD Phase III West.
Greystone Manor PRD preliminary plat approval was granted by the Hearing Examiner on May 29, 2012. The related Greystone Manor Planned Residential was approved by the City Council on July 3, 2012 (Ordinance No. 2658). An administrative modification of the preliminary plat’s phase IV was approved by the Redmond Technical Committee on October 27, 2017. This approved the developer’s proposal to shift lot lines and associated driveways and utility connections.
Greystone PRD Phase IV final plat was submitted by the applicant for staff review on
March 23, 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 Greystone PRD Phase IV conforms to the conditions.
All engineering plans have been approved for the site improvements and the developer has presented and the City has accepted a financial guarantee guaranteeing the installation of all plat improvements. Approval of the final plat will allow the applicant to record the final plat with the King County Recorder and thus create new lots. This approval does not imply final acceptance of the site improvements.
