A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PORT ORCHARD, WASHINGTON, APPROVING
AN AGREEMENT WITH OAKRIDGE HOMES II, LTD FOR PAYMENT IN LIEU OF
CONSTRUCTION SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE TO MEET A CONDITION OF
APPROVAL FOR THE BLUEBERRY RIDGE SUDIVISION.
WHEREAS, Capstone Homes applied for and Kitsap County issued preliminary plat
approval for the Blueberry Ridge subdivision in 2007; and
WHEREAS, the City of Port Orchard ("City") annexed the Blueberry Ridge property and
the nearby area shortly after preliminary plat approval; and
WHEREAS, Oakridge Homes II, LTD ("Oakridge") purchased the property and Project
permit approvals from Capstone Homes in 2015; and
WHEREAS, the Kitsap County Hearing Examiner's decision obligates Oakridge to construct
a "temporary signal at the intersection of SE Blueberry Road and Bethel Road SE" as a condition
prior to final plat approval (condition 45); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Port Orchard Municipal Code ("POMC") 20.98.030 and RCW
58.17.130 the City may alternatively, at its sole discretion, deem a condition of the preliminary
plat satisfied where the applicant posts adequate security commensurate with 150% of the city
engineer's estimated cost of the improvement; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined that there no longer exists a need for a temporary
signal at the intersection of SE Blueberry Road and Bethel Road SE, and prefers that a traffic
roundabout be constructed at Blueberry and Bethel as the long-term transportation solution for
this intersection; and
WHEREAS, Oakridge agrees to post financial security funds in lieu of constructing a
temporary signal, and agrees to authorize the City to utilize those funds on a traffic roundabout
at the Bethel/Blueberry intersection, as provided in the attached Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the factors set out in POMC 20.98.030 are met by
permitting Oakridge to post a financial security in lieu of constructing a temporary signal, as a
temporary signal is less beneficial to the public health and safety than a traffic roundabout, and
there are no adverse consequences to the public from allowing Oakridge to begin construction
prior to the completion of a traffic improvement at the Bethel/Blueberry intersection; now,
therefore,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT ORCHARD, WASHINGTON, HEREBY RESOLVES
AS FOLLOWS:
THAT: It is the intent of the Port Orchard City Council that the recitals set forth above are
hereby adopted and incorporated as findings in support of this Resolution.
