Mountain States Builders receives final round of approval from the city

Eighteen new single-family homes on the 1600 block of D Street, north of Lincoln Park, are set to crop up after Blaine City Council voted to approve a final plat application for Mountain State Builders.

In February 2016, the council approved preliminary and variance plats to allow for the construction of components on the 3.49-acre site, including a new public roadway

called Whitetail Loop.

Leading up to the final plat approval, city staff recommended a few minor landscaping requirements. According to a staff report, landscaping easements are to be installed to avoid the “unsightly appearance of individually maintained 6-foot-high fences facing D Street, which will become a major thoroughfare with the construction of Mott’s Hill Parkway.”
