New condominium

This is news that may be already known to some. The City of Kent was contacted in order to find out more information about the new development which is happening near the northwest corner of our property. The land that is being developed is adjacent to our property (which we share with Easthill Apartments). A billboard mounted right in front of the plat of land (which is located just next to the Dairy Queen restaurant on 104th Ave S.E.) posted some statistics. One question was whether or not the new property owner would be planning on building a fence that might separate our property from his. According to the postings, the new access for this new development will be on 104th Ave. S.E. But the postings were dated 2002 and 2003. The information obtained from the City of Kent said that this will be a 16-unit townhouse development. The access to this new development will indeed be off of 104th Ave SE. It will access from the same driveway that serves the Daily Queen. The City does not have a code requirement for fencing between the two properties. Further investigation was done by the City of Kent Planner and the phone number of the builder was discovered. After our property manager was instructed to contact him regarding our concerns, it was confirmed that he does plan on building a fence which will separate the two properties.
