New Kent homes to be built near Garrison Creek

Published 2:03 pm Tuesday, September 16, 2014

A city of Kent hearing examiner approved a developer’s request to subdivide 3.3 acres into 20 single-family residential lots in the 22800 block of 100th Avenue Southeast.

Kirkland-based Harty Investment Group applied for and received approval from hearing examiner Lee Raaen for the housing development, known as Garrison Creek Division 2 Subdivision. Raaen issued his decision on Sept. 9.

Crews will remove the two single-family residences, outbuildings and driveway now on the property. Garrison Creek is about 130 feet west of the property.

Primary access to the new development would be from 100th Avenue Southeast via a new public road, which would connect to 98th Place South in the developed plat immediately north of the project site.

Raaen oversaw a public hearing about the development on Aug. 27, according to city documents. Nobody testified against the development.
