A preliminary plat to develop 12.15 acres into a 45 lot single family subdivision.
Notice is hereby given that Whipple Consulting Engineers Inc applied for a Preliminary Long Plat on February 5, 2020. This application was determined to be technically complete on January 25, 2021. The City of Spokane is hereby holding a virtual public hearing before the Hearing Examiner on Thursday, March 11, 2021, at 9:00 am. The City deferred the in-person public hearing in an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and to protect those most vulnerable. Due to the restrictions on public gatherings arising from the COVID-19 outbreak, this hearing will be conducted remotely using web and telephone conference tools, as described below. However, if the Governor’s restrictions for group gatherings are lifted prior to the scheduled hearing date, the hearing will be held in person at the designated time in the Council Chambers, Lower Level of City Hall, 808 W. Spokane Falls Boulevard, Spokane, WA. Any changes to the procedures that will be followed for this hearing will be posted on the city’s "Tangle Ridge" Preliminary Plat project page.
Any person may submit written comments on the proposal and/or appear at the public hearing.
