The existing home is currently on a septic tank, how will this be dealt with? The existing septic tank will be decommissioned. 2. The traffic on 132nd Ave NE is difficult to get in and out of, additional development in the area will only add to this issue. The City is aware of the neighborhood’s concerns about the traffic congestion on 132nd Ave NE especially at the intersection of NE 100th ST and NE 104th ST. The entire 132nd Ave NE corridor/ROW is under Kirkland’s jurisdiction. The City is continuing to coordinate with the City of Kirkland with larger developments that require traffic study to perform signal warrant analysis at the intersection (132nd Ave NE and NE 100th ST) which is a major intersection in this area. City of Kirkland is also evaluating with their traffic data to perform signal warrant analysis at this intersection. 3. How can neighbors be involved with the traffic issues that also involve the City of Kirkland? We will pass on comments to the City of Kirkland—other info? The City is continuing to provide feedbacks or comments collectively from the neighbors about the traffic concerns accessing on 132nd Ave NE to Kirkland’s Public Works Department. The neighbors can also contact the City of Kirkland directly with any traffic concerns within the Kirkland city limits. 4. There is a right hand turn only lane with a large sign that restricts right turns during rush hour, this could help alleviate traffic on NE 100th ST. For traffic mitigation like this suggestion, it will require a traffic study to evaluate the impacts and benefits. Since all signals along 132nd Ave NE is under Kirkland’s jurisdiction, it is recommended to contact Thang Nguyen directly at [PHONE REDACTED] or [EMAIL REDACTED], who is the Transportation Engineer in Kirkland. 5. What are the setback requirements? The setback requirements will follow the requirements of the underlying zone requirements RZC 21.08.010 RIN Zone. • Front: 15 feet • Side/Side interior: 5 feet on one side, 10 feet on the other ---PAGE BREAK--- • Side Street: 15 feet • Rear: 10 feet Size-limited dwelling unit setbacks will follow the underlying zone requirements, as listed above 6. What are the requirements of a Size-limited Dwelling Unit? Since the development is greater than 30,500 sf, a minimum of 20% of the number of dwelling units proposed are required to be “Size-limited dwelling unit,” which is a requirement of the RIN Zone. A Size-limited dwelling unit is a single-family detached home that does not exceed 1,900 sf. The determination of total square footage includes attached and detached garages. A size-limited dwelling will be so identified and legally binding on the title of the home; enlarging the home will not be permitted above the maximum size limit. 7. Why is a ditch required on 134th Ave NE? A ditch is a requirement of the Rustic Street Standards for this area. When the Willows/Rose Hill neighborhood was created, the community wanted to retain the character of the area, which prompted the Rustic Street Standards. 8. Is the perimeter landscaping buffer required east of proposed Road A? No, it will be required to the west of Road A. Since the project calls for half street improvements, if the property to the west decides to develop, that landscaping would then have to be ripped out. 9. How will street parking on Road A work out? Where will guests be able to park? When are people then ticketed? This project is required to provide Road A with half-street improvements which include but not limited to a minimum 20 feet width of pavement for 2-way travel. A standard local access street requires a minimum 28 feet in full width. The additional 8 feet will provide on-street parking on one side once the full street is widened. For the time being, ---PAGE BREAK--- guests should park on the driveways or in other area where full street is completed. 10. What will the houses look like? Please visit the developer website; Terrene Homes 11. What is the average size of homes? Mike Walsh of Terrene Homes has stated 3,500 sf. The Redmond Zoning Code will restrict lot coverage and height. The lot coverage maximum for the RIN Zone is 35% and the height maximum is 25 feet. 12. What is the average price of the homes? It is hard to say, it depends on the housing market at the time of construction completion. 13. What is the estimated time frame for the completion of the Road A in accordance to the Comprehensive Plan? The City has no timeframe when Road A will be extended to the North. Construction of the local access road is driven by development according to the Comprehensive Master Plan. 14. Where is the sewer proposed? Plans have not been finalized yet. 15. What are the street light requirements? All public road frontages of the project property (134th Ave NE, NE 104th ST, and Road A) will be required to illuminate the streets including sidewalks per City’s standards.
