Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. It's time for us to start the public hearing for
the Ennis Site Development Plan 1600006.
Appreciate you all coming out on this frosty night and hope you feel compelled to
provide some additional comments. So we have a few administrative duties that we have to
do first and then we'll have a presentation from the city staff. Then we'll open
up the meeting for some public comments. If you intend to make a comment tonight,
I would sure appreciate it if you would sign the paper on the table right
there. And at the appropriate time, we'll call you up and we'll ask you to
state your name and then make your comments. So without
anything else, we do have minutes from last meeting, the December
7th, I think, meeting to approve.
Move to approve the minutes as written. Okay. Second. At the meetings. There's a
November 2nd meeting. Right. I guess this is
December. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Okay. Meetings have been, a motion has been
made and approved. Any discussion? All those in favor of approving the
minutes, say aye. No minutes are approved.
Good evening, commissioners. I'm Lucy Sloman, land development manager and your quasi
-judicial tour guide for this evening. As you know,
this is a site development permit, continuation of the public hearing. Site development
permits for buildings over 150 ,000 square feet in central Issaquah
are quasi -judicial matters for which you are the decision maker.
To do that, we have both procedural due process,
which means that we follow certain processes such as notice and
the role of the decision maker to people who benefit from the decision. And
then substantive due process, which means that we use adopted regulations as the basis for
our decision. So I'd like the commission to please read through the
six questions up on the screen.
It's no for everyone. And then
part of it is that all of the discussion and decision making
is done in an open setting. And so if the question is
whether you've had any ex parte contacts, which is discussion of this permit
outside this forum. Does anyone in
the audience care to challenge any of the members of the commission?
Hearing none, we're done.
I'm not sure if the mic is on. Can you guys hear me well? Doesn't
sound very loud. My name is Amy Tarson and I'm the senior planner
for the city of Issaquah that will be presenting what is basically
the second of two.
So last time we were before you, I did a
overview and a basically touching on all the different
chapters of the central Issaquah development and design standards for,
you know, for our analysis of how this
project complied with the plan or our development and design
standards. So tonight, my presentation will focus primarily on answering
a lot of the questions that were brought up last time. I am not going
to repeat the same ones, what I call the easy questions last time that I
addressed. And what I'm doing tonight is basically most of
the follow -up items that we did not have available, primarily the drawings
and redesign of some of the elements of the architecture. And also
just to kind of, again, touch on some of the more, what we would call
bigger concerns, not only from the development commission, but also from the
public. So just a quick overview and scope of this
project, the developable area is 2 .28 acres out
of 4 .69 acres. So it's approximately, so the developable area
is approximately 51 % of the whole project site. There are 2
buildings, Parcel B has an 86 -unit building, which is shown here
in the back, more in the background, and Parcel C has 7 units. The
frontage improvements for this project includes a roundabout at Northwest Juniper
and the Parkway standards application for the rest of Newport Way.
And there is also stormwater detention vault on one of the
offsite parcel. It's actually kind of just shown a little bit at the edge of
this, the Abyssin parcel, which is
partially part of this project,
but also part of another project. And so as far as
location, again, just very quickly, this is in Central Issaquah and in the Gilman
District. And the vision in the Gilman District primarily talks about how this area
will accommodate residential development and
future retail and office. And there's also an acknowledgement
of the Issaquah Creek as a defining natural feature. Although for this
particular site, we don't have the creek anywhere close to the site. But what we
have is the hillside of Squawk Mountain. So
my presentation, I broke it down into two sections for,
I'm sorry, three sections. So I'll first talk about the tree retention
and the steep slopes, then the building design, and then Newport Way improvements.
So among the questions and discussion last time
were concerns about the
stability of the slopes and the presence or potential
presence of water in the hillside and the impacts of
construction. So just as we have mentioned in our briefing
response memo, the hillside has been evaluated multiple
times. First, when it was part of the evaluation for the industry.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. It's time for us to start the public hearing for

doesn't sound very loud. Um, good evening. My name is Amy Tarson and I'm the
senior planner for the city of Issaquah that, uh, will be presenting, um, what
is basically the second of two. Uh, uh, uh, of a two part public
hearing, um, for the Innisfit Apartments site development permit, um,
uh, SDP 16 dash 00006. So last time we were before
you, um, I did a, uh, uh, uh, overview and a, uh, basically

about at Northwest Jennifer and, um, the parkway standards, um, application

Inniswood estate short plat, um, that's when the critical areas, steep slopes
analysis was done. And then, um, that's when the, um, buffer and the, the
actual areas of steep slopes or regulated steep slopes were identified. So, um,
um, what we have today for the Inniswood, um, uh, apartments is basically a well
-defined area where, um, um, where the development will occur.
And it's all outside of the steep slopes and the, and the, I'm sorry, in
the steep slope buffer.

are quasi -judicial matters for which you are the decision maker.
To do that, we have both procedural due process,
which means that we follow certain processes such as notice and
the role of the decision maker to people who benefit from the decision. And
then substantive due process, which means that we use adopted regulations as the basis for
our decision. So I'd like the commission to please read through the
six questions up on the screen.
It's no for everyone. And then
part of it is that all of the discussion and decision making
is done in an open setting. And so if the question is
whether you've had any ex parte contacts, which is discussion of this permit
outside this forum. Does anyone in
the audience care to challenge any of the members of the commission?
Hearing none, we're done.
I'm not sure if the mic is on. Can you guys hear me? Well, it
doesn't sound very loud. Um, good evening. My name is Amy Tarson and I'm the
senior planner for the city of Issaquah that, uh, will be presenting, um, what
is basically the second of two. Uh, uh, uh, of a two part public
hearing, um, for the Innisfit Apartments site development permit, um,
uh, SDP 16 dash 00006. So last time we were before
you, um, I did a, uh, uh, uh, overview and a, uh, basically
touching on all the different, uh, chapters of the central Issaquah development and design
standards for, um, um, uh, you know, for our, um, analysis
of how this project complied with, um, the, uh, the plan or, or, or our
development and design standards. So tonight, um, my presentation will focus primarily
on answering a lot of the questions that were brought up last time. Um, um,
I, uh, I, I am not gonna, uh, repeat the same ones, what I call
the easy questions last time that I, um, addressed, um, and what I'm doing
tonight is basically, uh, most of the, uh, follow up items that we did not
have available. Um, primarily, um, the drawings and redesign of some of the, uh,
elements of the, uh, architecture and also, um, just to kind of, again, touch on
some of the more, um, what we would call, um, uh, bigger concerns,
not only from the development commission, but also from the public. So, um, just a
quick overview and, uh, scope of this project, uh, the developable area is
2 .28 acres out of 4 .69 acres. So it's
approximately, um, so the developable area is approximately 51 % of the whole, uh,
project site. Um, there are two buildings. Parcel B has an 86 unit building,
um, which is shown here in the back more on the background and parcel C,
um, has seven units. The frontage improvements for this project includes around
about at Northwest Jennifer and, um, the parkway standards, um, application
for the rest of Newport way. And, um, there is also stormwater detention vault
on, on one of the, um, offsite parcel. It's actually kind of just shown a
little bit, um, at the edge of this, the Abbasin parcel, which is, um, um,
part, um, which is partially part of this project, but also part of another
project. Um, and, um, so, um, as far as location, again, just
very quickly, this is in central Issaquah and, um, in the Gilman district. And the
vision in the Gilman district primarily talks about how this area, um, will accommodate,
um, residential development and, um, and, uh, future retail and office.
And, um, there's also an acknowledgement of the Issaquah Creek as a defining,
um, natural feature. Although for this particular site, we don't have the Creek
anywhere close to the site, but what we have is, um, the hillside of Squawk
mountain. So, um, my presentation, I broke it down into
two sections, um, for, for, uh, I'm sorry, three sections. Um, so
I'll first talk about the tree retention and the steep slopes, um, then the
building design and then Newport way improvements. So among the, uh,
questions that, and discussion last time, um, were concerns about, um,
the, uh, the, the stability of the slopes and the presence or potential
presence of water. Um, uh, uh, in the, in the hillside and the impacts of
construction. Um, so, um, just as we have mentioned in our briefing
response memo, um, the hillside has, has been evaluated multiple
times. Uh, first when it was part of the, uh, evaluation for the
Inniswood estate short plat, um, that's when the critical areas, steep slopes
analysis was done. And then, um, that's when the, um, buffer and the, the
actual areas of steep slopes or regulated steep slopes were identified. So, um,
um, what we have today for the Inniswood, um, uh, apartments is basically a well
-defined area where, um, um, where the development will occur.
And it's all outside of the steep slopes and the, and the, I'm sorry, in
the steep slope buffer.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. It's time for us to start the public hearing for
the Ennis Site Development Plan 1600006.
Appreciate you all coming out on this frosty night and hope you feel compelled to
provide some additional comments. So we have a few administrative duties that we have to
do first and then we'll have a presentation from the city staff. Then we'll open
up the meeting for some public comments. If you intend to make a comment tonight,
I would sure appreciate it if you would sign the paper on the table right
there. And at the appropriate time, we'll call you up and we'll ask you to
state your name and then make your comments. So without
anything else, we do have minutes from last meeting, the December
7th, I think, meeting to approve.
Move to approve the minutes as written. Okay. Second. At the meetings. There's a
November 2nd meeting. Right. I guess this is
December. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Okay. Meetings have been, a motion has been
made and approved. Any discussion? All those in favor of approving the
minutes, say aye. No minutes are approved.
Good evening, commissioners. I'm Lucy Sloman, land development manager and your quasi

minutes, say aye. No minutes are approved.
Good evening, commissioners. I'm Lucy Sloman, land development manager and your quasi
-judicial tour guide for this evening. As you know,
this is a site development permit, continuation of the public hearing. Site development
permits for buildings over 150 ,000 square feet in central Issaquah
are quasi -judicial matters for which you are the decision maker.
To do that, we have both procedural due process,
which means that we follow certain processes such as notice and
the role of the decision maker to people who benefit from the decision. And
then substantive due process, which means that we use adopted regulations as the basis for
our decision. So I'd like the commission to please read through the
six questions up on the screen.
It's no for everyone. And then
part of it is that all of the discussion and decision making
is done in an open setting. And so if the question is
whether you've had any ex parte contacts, which is discussion of this permit
outside this forum. Does anyone in
the audience care to challenge any of the members of the commission?
Hearing none, we're done.
I'm not sure if the mic is on. Can you guys hear me well? Doesn't
sound very loud. My name is Amy Tarson and I'm the senior planner
for the city of Issaquah that will be presenting what is basically
the second of two.
So last time we were before you, I did a
overview and a basically touching on all the different
chapters of the central Issaquah development and design standards for,
you know, for our analysis of how this
project complied with the plan or our development and design
standards. So tonight, my presentation will focus primarily on answering
a lot of the questions that were brought up last time. I am not going
to repeat the same ones, what I call the easy questions last time that I
addressed. And what I'm doing tonight is basically most of
the follow -up items that we did not have available, primarily the drawings
and redesign of some of the elements of the architecture. And also
just to kind of, again, touch on some of the more, what we would call
bigger concerns, not only from the development commission, but also from the
public. So just a quick overview and scope of this
project, the developable area is 2 .28 acres out
of 4 .69 acres. So it's approximately, so the developable area
is approximately 51 % of the whole project site. There are 2
buildings, Parcel B has an 86 -unit building, which is shown here
in the back, more in the background, and Parcel C has 7 units. The
frontage improvements for this project includes a roundabout at Northwest Juniper
and the Parkway standards application for the rest of Newport Way.
And there is also stormwater detention vault on one of the
offsite parcel. It's actually kind of just shown a little bit at the edge of
this, the Abyssin parcel, which is
partially part of this project,
but also part of another project. And so as far as
location, again, just very quickly, this is in Central Issaquah and in the Gilman
District. And the vision in the Gilman District primarily talks about how this area
will accommodate residential development and
future retail and office. And there's also an acknowledgement
of the Issaquah Creek as a defining natural feature. Although for this
particular site, we don't have the creek anywhere close to the site. But what we
have is the hillside of Squawk Mountain. So
my presentation, I broke it down into two sections for,
I'm sorry, three sections. So I'll first talk about the tree retention
and the steep slopes, then the building design, and then Newport Way improvements.
So among the questions and discussion last time
were concerns about the
stability of the slopes and the presence or potential
presence of water in the hillside and the impacts of
construction. So just as we have mentioned in our briefing
response memo, the hillside has been evaluated multiple
times. First, when it was part of the evaluation for the
Inniswood Estate short plat. That's when the critical areas steep slopes
analysis was done. And then that's when the buffer and the
actual areas of steep slopes or regulated steep slopes were identified. So
what we have today for the Inniswood apartments
is basically a well -defined area where
the development will occur and it's all outside of the steep
slopes and the steep slope buffer.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. It's time for us to start the public hearing for
the Ennis Site Development Plan 1600006.
Appreciate you all coming out on this frosty night and hope you feel compelled to
provide some additional comments. So we have a few administrative duties that we have to
do first and then we'll have a presentation from the city staff. Then we'll open
up the meeting for some public comments. If you intend to make a comment tonight,
I would sure appreciate it if you would sign the paper on the table right
there. And at the appropriate time, we'll call you up and we'll ask you to
state your name and then make your comments. So without
anything else, we do have minutes from last meeting, the December
7th, I think, meeting to approve.
Move to approve the minutes as written. Okay. Second. At the meetings. There's a
November 2nd meeting. Right. I guess this is
December. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Okay. Meetings have been, a motion has been

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. It's time for us to start the public hearing for

Appreciate you all coming out on this frosty night and hope you feel compelled to
provide some additional comments. So we have a few administrative duties that we have to
do first and then we'll have a presentation from the city staff. Then we'll open
up the meeting for some public comments. If you intend to make a comment tonight,
I would sure appreciate it if you would sign the paper on the table right

7th, I think, meeting to approve.
Move to approve the minutes as written. Okay. Second. At the meetings. There's a
November 2nd meeting. Right. I guess this is
December. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Okay. Meetings have been, a motion has been
made and approved. Any discussion? All those in favor of approving the
minutes, say aye. No minutes are approved.
Good evening, commissioners. I'm Lucy Sloman, land development manager and your quasi
-judicial tour guide for this evening. As you know,
this is a site development permit, continuation of the public hearing. Site development
permits for buildings over 150 ,000 square feet in central Issaquah
are quasi -judicial matters for which you are the decision maker.
To do that, we have both procedural due process,
which means that we follow certain processes such as notice and
the role of the decision maker to people who benefit from the decision. And
then substantive due process, which means that we use adopted regulations as the basis for
our decision. So I'd like the commission to please read through the
six questions up on the screen.
It's no for everyone. And then
part of it is that all of the discussion and decision making
is done in an open setting. And so if the question is
whether you've had any ex parte contacts, which is discussion of this permit
outside this forum. Does anyone in
the audience care to challenge any of the members of the commission?
Hearing none, we're done.
I'm not sure if the mic is on. Can you guys hear me? Well, it
doesn't sound very loud. Um, good evening. My name is Amy Tarson and I'm the
senior planner for the city of Issaquah that, uh, will be presenting, um, what
is basically the second of two. Uh, uh, uh, of a two part public
hearing, um, for the Innisfit Apartments site development permit, um,
uh, SDP 16 dash 00006. So last time we were before
you, um, I did a, uh, uh, uh, overview and a, uh, basically
touching on all the different, uh, chapters of the central Issaquah development and design
standards for, um, um, uh, you know, for our, um, analysis
of how this project complied with, um, the, uh, the plan or, or, or our
development and design standards. So tonight, um, my presentation will focus primarily
on answering a lot of the questions that were brought up last time. Um, um,
I, uh, I, I am not gonna, uh, repeat the same ones, what I call
the easy questions last time that I, um, addressed, um, and what I'm doing
tonight is basically, uh, most of the, uh, follow up items that we did not

elements of the, uh, architecture and also, um, just to kind of, again, touch on
some of the more, um, what we would call, um, uh, bigger concerns,
not only from the development commission, but also from the public. So, um, just a
quick overview and, uh, scope of this project, uh, the developable area is
2 .28 acres out of 4 .69 acres. So it's
approximately, um, so the developable area is approximately 51 % of the whole, uh,
project site. Um, there are two buildings. Parcel B has an 86 unit building,
um, which is shown here in the back more on the background and parcel C,
um, has seven units. The frontage improvements for this project includes around

for the rest of Newport way. And, um, there is also stormwater detention vault
on, on one of the, um, offsite parcel. It's actually kind of just shown a
little bit, um, at the edge of this, the Abbasin parcel, which is, um, um,
part, um, which is partially part of this project, but also part of another
project. Um, and, um, so, um, as far as location, again, just
very quickly, this is in central Issaquah and, um, in the Gilman district. And the
vision in the Gilman district primarily talks about how this area, um, will accommodate,
um, residential development and, um, and, uh, future retail and office.
And, um, there's also an acknowledgement of the Issaquah Creek as a defining,
um, natural feature. Although for this particular site, we don't have the Creek
anywhere close to the site, but what we have is, um, the hillside of Squawk
mountain. So, um, my presentation, I broke it down into
two sections, um, for, for, uh, I'm sorry, three sections. Um, so
I'll first talk about the tree retention and the steep slopes, um, then the
building design and then Newport way improvements. So among the, uh,
questions that, and discussion last time, um, were concerns about, um,
the, uh, the, the stability of the slopes and the presence or potential
presence of water. Um, uh, uh, in the, in the hillside and the impacts of
construction. Um, so, um, just as we have mentioned in our briefing
response memo, um, the hillside has, has been evaluated multiple
times. Uh, first when it was part of the, uh, evaluation for the
Inniswood estate short plat, um, that's when the critical areas, steep slopes
analysis was done. And then, um, that's when the, um, buffer and the, the
actual areas of steep slopes or regulated steep slopes were identified. So, um,
um, what we have today for the Inniswood, um, uh, apartments is basically a well
-defined area where, um, um, where the development will occur.
And it's all outside of the steep slopes and the, and the, I'm sorry, in
the steep slope buffer.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. It's time for us to start the public hearing for
the Ennis Site Development Plan 1600006.
Appreciate you all coming out on this frosty night and hope you feel compelled to
provide some additional comments. So we have a few administrative duties that we have to
do first and then we'll have a presentation from the city staff. Then we'll open
up the meeting for some public comments. If you intend to make a comment tonight,
I would sure appreciate it if you would sign the paper on the table right
there. And at the appropriate time, we'll call you up and we'll ask you to
state your name and then make your comments. So without
anything else, we do have minutes from last meeting, the December
7th, I think, meeting to approve.
Move to approve the minutes as written. Okay. Second. At the meetings. There's
a November 2nd meeting. Yeah.
