Blaine City Council gives final plat approval to third division of The Ridge at Harbor Hills

Blaine City Council unanimously approved the final plat application for the third division of The Ridge at Harbor Hills during its December 11 meeting.

The third division includes 37 single-family lots, utility and stormwater improvements, a public road, sidewalk and trail improvements, three open spaces and a future city park, according to city documents. The third division is in the northeast section of the east Blaine subdivision.

In June 2020, city council approved the preliminary plat and planned unit development for The Ridge at Harbor Hills, previously named East Maple Ridge. The entire subdivision will have 353 units that are a combination of single-family and multi-family homes.

“The final plat application is like a consistency review,” said Alex Wenger, director of the Community Development Services Department. “We’ve already reviewed this at city council and planning commission to come up with project conditions, so really we’re reviewing the construction and the project to make sure it’s consistent with the project conditions.”

The developers, Skip and Katie Jansen, have installed required public improvements and posted a performance bond for the remaining work on the third division.

Jansen said the plat in the third division is complete, making the subdivision's entire plat two-thirds of the way finished.

“The project is substantially complete,” Wenger said. “These are the last few items to button it up.” 

The Ridge at Harbor Hills is located north of H Street, east of Jerome Street and west of North Harvey Road. It is directly west of the Jansens’ next development, East Harbor Hills.

Correction: This article was updated December 14 to change the third to last paragraph to correctly state that the entire plat of The Ridge at Harbor Hills is two-thirds complete.
