The subject property of this resolution, commonly referred to as the Bridges, is located within the corporate boundaries of Kent, but surrounded entirely by the City of Auburn. Over the years, community members have expressed an interest in the de-annexation by Kent, and annexation by Auburn. This resolution gives the City of Auburn the authority to formally explore community interest by asking members of the Living at Bridges Homeowners Association, along with other stakeholders, whether they support annexation, with the results reported back to the City Council.
Additionally, the cities of Auburn and Kent would work together to ensure that the Bridges infrastructure meets appropriate regulatory requirements and maintenance standards, including those that effect the undeveloped portions of the property. |
