21 new homes clustered on steep environmentally-critical terrain? Gee…what could possibly go wrong with that plan?
The West Seattle Blog reported about this on Thursday.
Plans were filed with the DPD to redevelop a fairly large amount of land in West Seattle (just west of the where the western end of the West Seattle Bridge turns south).
As reported by the West Seattle Blog,
“Land Use Application to allow 21 single family residences in an environmentally critical area (clustered housing). Parking for 30 vehicles will be located within the structures and 8 surface parking spaces will be provided on the site.”
Using Live Maps, here’s the Bird’s Eye View (looking west) of the property up for development. Comments on the West Seattle Blog are also expressing surprise that homes could be built on such a steep location.

This development is located in a very unique area with narrow winding roads that have many blind spots. Now add potentially 42 more vehicles, if this isn’t an accident waitin’ to happen I don’t know what is. Also, I don’t see how the 5+ emergency vehicles that show up for the accident(s) will be able to maneuver their way around these narrow roads. This is going to be a nightmare!!!
Yeah, this project isn’t adding up in my head either.
