Two Important Meetings Are Coming Up]]> http://kirklandhighlandsrealestatebuzz.com/2008/06/02/changes-are-happening-in-kirkland-wa-two-important-meetings-are-coming-up/ Tue, 03 Jun 2008 03:16:06 +0000 Debra Sinick http://kirklandhighlandsrealestatebuzz.com/2008/06/02/changes-are-happening-in-kirkland-wa-two-important-meetings-are-coming-up/

What does the future hold for Kirkland, Washington?  As I’ve reported in numerous blog posts, we’ve got the McLeod project, Parkplace, Merrill Gardens, and a trail/commuter train all on the horizon.

Here’s another chance for you to learn more and make your opinions known:

The Trail meeting at the Houghton Fire House June 4th at 7 PM, 6602 108th Ave NE is sponsored by Eastside Trail Advocates.  This is a group of Kirkland residents who are dedicated to a trail along the BNSF tracks while the proper studies are done to determine the best method of improving public transportation.

What will Parkplace look and be like?  Will there be 8 story buildings?  Will there be a movie theater? 

 The final planning commission meeting about Parkplace is scheduled for Kirkland City Hall on June 12th at 7 PM. Make sure your voice is heard.  Can’t attend this meeting?  Then let Angela Ruggeri know what you think. Email Angela at aruggeri@ci.kirkland.wa.us. 

 You can also check out the latest with Parkplace online.  There are two plans on the table.  The first is called the Mixed-Use Plan, which calls for a zoning change and 8 story buildings.  There will be more retail, a large QFC, restaurants, etc. 

 The second is the Office Use Plan, which keeps the currrent 5 story height on  office buildings.  This plan would limit restaurants, retail, and eliminate a hotel.  Hmm, makes me wonder if the developers can’t get their variance for a height restriction, who is really losing here?  What do you think?

Don’t have time to attend meetings regarding all the changes in Kirkland, but want to keep up?  Check out Kirkland Views blog.  I was impressed with Rob Butcher’s presentation and analysis of the latest city council meeting. 

 The Bank of America project was evaluated at the meeting, but rather than rehash the already well-written piece, here’s a link to the blog post and online discussion.    Bookmark this blog, so you can keep up with Kirkland changes.  Funny or sad-his next post is advertising positions on Kirkland’s Design Review Board.
