The city of Blaine has opened the public comment period for the preliminary plat of Lincoln Mews, a proposed six-acre subdivision just east of IGA Market that would have 21 homes made of attached single-family, duplex and triplex units.
Written comments, which opened November 12, will be accepted until 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, November 26. The city’s hearing examiner will hold a remote public hearing on the proposal, though no date was listed on the city’s website as of press time.
The Lincoln Mews property is located south of H Street, east of Ludwick Avenue and west of O’Dell Street, where the subdivision’s entrance is proposed.
Lincoln Mews is being developed by Blair Murray, owner of Bellingham-based Tin Rock Development. Murray did not immediately respond to a request for more information on the proposal.
The preliminary plat proposal signals a significant step for the project, which has been in the works for several years. The project received its last major approval in August 2022, when the hearing examiner approved the project’s conditional use permit.
The Lincoln Mews preliminary plat will require a wetland delineation and habitat study as well as a stormwater report. Blaine City Council will make the final decision on whether to accept the proposal.
Written public comments may be sent to Community Development Services Department, Attn: Alex Wenger, 435 Martin Street, Suite 3000, Blaine, WA 98230; emailed to cdscomments@cityofblaine.com with Lincoln Mews as the subject; or faxed to 360/332-8330.
