Treehouse is located west of Fort Worden cemetery, along W Street and Ebony Street;
and
WHEREAS, the original preliminary PUD and BSP applications were
submitted on or about December 3, 2001 (LUP01-117) and involves construction of 30
residential condominium units across 6 new lots created over 4 phases. The new lot
configuration is achieved via the re-platting of 22-existing lots encompassing 4.3-acres
of the Pettygrove's 2nd Addition to the City of Port Townsend; and
WHEREAS, Phase II of the Treehouse PUD involves the creation of 2 new
lots, Lot 2/3 & Lot 4. Lot 2/3 is 38,068 square feet in size and will be developed with
a maximum of 9 condominium units. Lot 4 is 15,438 square feet in size and will be
developed with a maximum of 5 condominium units; and
WHEREAS, the Treehouse PUD and BSP were granted preliminary approval,
subject to certain conditions, by the City's Hearing Examiner on March 29, 2002.
This March 29 decision was modified by the Examiner on April 17, 2002, after review
of a timely request for reconsideration filed jointly by the applicant and BCD; and
WHEREAS, the Public Works Director has accepted an appropriate financial
security for roadway improvements yet to be completed within Phase II and all other
related infrastructure improvements as set forth in the Hearing Examiner's decision
have been complied with; and
WHEREAS, the Building and Community Development (BCD) Director has
found that, with the exception of some required landscaping and replanting, the final
PUD and BSP request is in conformance with the Hearing Examiner's preliminary
PUD decision, complies with applicable environmental mitigation measures, and
includes appropriate measures for recording to title a Planned Unit Development
Agreement (PUDA) signed by both the applicant and the City. So long as an
appropriate financial security is established for the remaining landscaping, final PUD
