Application: Quail Riverview PUD/ Preliminary Subdivision; a Type III Preliminary Subdivision, Environmental Checklist, Critical Area and Road Modification Application Review (SUB#23120071; ENV#23120072; CAR#23120073). Application Date: December 15, 2023 Technically Complete: January 25, 2024 Contact: Mackay Sposito, LLC Attn: Jeffrey Cassidy & Andy Nuttbrock, PLA 18405 SE Mill Plain Blvd, Suite 100 Vancouver, WA 98683 Owner/Applicant: Quail Development, LLC Attn: Jon Girod 4501 NE Minnehaha, Suite 200 Vancouver, WA 98661 Location: The project is located at the cross street of P Street and 54th Street (PIN#s 132846-000, 132798-000, & 132797-000) at 1805 54th Street, located in the NE of Section 9, Township 1 North, Range 4 East of the Willamette Meridian, in the City of Washougal, Clark County, Washington. The total acreage of the original parcel is approximately 17.23 acres. Description of Project: The Applicant requests approval from the City of Washougal to subdivide 17.23 acres into a subdivision consisting of fourty-one (41) single-family detached residential lots with common open space and related infrastructure within the R1-7.5 Zoning Designation. Access roads, stormwater, utilities, and other related infrastructure improvements will be constructed as required. Presence of one Type Ns (seasonal, non-fish bearing) streams was identified in the northwest portion of the project area. Clark County GIS indicators show a moderate-high to high probability for archaeological resources. A preliminary wetland study of parcels 132798-000 and 132797-000. A preliminary wetland study for parcel 132846-000 has yet to be executed. Vegetation consists mainly of grass, blackberries, treed areas, and residential landscaping. Some of the existing buildings and associated outbuildings will be removed at the time of construction. The Quail Riverview Planned Unit Development is bordered to the west, east, north, and south by R1-7.5. Additional zoning exists north of the property in the form of R1-10 and BP (Business Park). The proposed development of the project site will be treated with a storm facility in the southwest corner of the project for the purposes of collecting, treating, and detaining stormwater runoff. The runoff sources include public streets, roofs, sidewalk, driveways, and landscaping. Downstream flow from neighboring properties will not impact the project site, any stormwater experienced will be collected at the property line and will be routed past the site and will be discharged downstream of the onsite stormwater facilities. This project is proposing to use the density transfer allowance in the Washougal Municipal Code. The open space requirement exceeds the 10% minimum (1.7 acres) by offering 2 acres of passive recreation and wildlife habitat in the form of open space and existing wetlands. One (1) Oregon White Oak on-site will be preserved and protected during construction and in perpetuity. Utilities Based on the survey performed by Olson engineering, Gas, Water, Power, Fiber Optics, Water (Washougal), Sewer (Washougal) and Stormwater lines all exist along P street. Public Hearing: A public hearing is required (by means of WMC 18.94.080 (2)), and is likely to be scheduled for early-mid April at 10am in Washougal City Hall Council Chambers. An official Hearing Date will be posted, once confirmed.
