Hazelia Living Update February 2026

Published February 3, 2026

Hazelia Living – Jan 22 DRC hearing : Recorded Meeting Here.

  • LU 25-0019 is Ken’s land use application for an 11 lot subdivision and Planned Development approval – this is the 1st of 2 land use applications. The second will follow – for the approval of the 53 cottages and quadplex’s/triplexes.
  • Planning staff gave presentation on their conditions of approval
  • Developer team (Ken Allen and design team) gave presentation on current design
    • only significant change is that the storm water retention “basin” in the south east corner of site is now all underground – ie, it will be a flat open landscaped space, not a depressed percolation pond. Stormwater will drain into a large underground tank and then percolate into the soil.  This is a great improvement!

Ken Allen agreed to accept all conditions of approval

Chris Durkee, PNA Chair, gave comments on behalf of PNA in support of the project here: Development Review Commission 01/22/2026 

DRC’s discussion was largely to compliment the developer on the project, process, attention to community input, and quality of design.  

DRC voted to unanimously support the project, but subsequently became aware that a community member attending via zoom expressed concerns regarding the traffic impact analysis, tree removal, and flow of traffic exiting site, and requested to hold the hearing open.  DRC will hold the hearing open, allow 7 day period for the community member to submit concerns in writing, another 7 days for the developer to respond, and then resume the hearing at the February 19th meeting.
