SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Wellington Estates Phase 5 consists of 12 lots and is part of a five -phase 159 lot subdivision
located at the southwest corner of the intersection of West Washington Avenue and Wellington
Drive. This subdivision received preliminary plat approval from Yakima County on March 20,
2007 and consequently this subdivision is vested under Yakima County's rural development
regulations, which are not consistent with the City of Yakima's standards for street widths,
sidewalks on both sides of the street and building setbacks. This final plat has been reviewed
by both County and City staff for compliance with the conditions of approval, as well as, the
subdivision regulations for both jurisdictions.
The City Engineer's office has received a letter from Yakima County indicating that all
improvements made under their jurisdiction are final and inspected. Equally, City Engineering
has completed its final inspection of this plat and all items being completed, the City Engineer
has signed the plat.
The Code Administration and Planning Division has likewise reviewed the final plat for Phase 5
and finds it to be in substantial conformance with the terms and conditions of the preliminary
approval and therefore the Subdivision Administrator has also signed the plat. (cont.)
