The Monroe City Council will hold a public hearing regarding the pre-annexation zoning for the proposed Roosevelt Ridge Annexation. This area is approximately 183 acres, and includes the Roosevelt Ridge Estates neighborhood along with a few larger parcels bordering the neighborhood. This annexation is subject to voter approval in the November 2012 election. Those registered voters living within the proposed annexation area will be eligible to vote in the annexation.
The public hearing will be held on Tuesday, April 24th, at 7:00 pm in the Monroe Council Chambers at City Hall, located at 806 W Main St, Monroe.
The pre-annexation zoning will designate the Roosevelt Ridge Annexation area for single family UR6000 and UR9600-Urban Residential.
Any interested person may appear and voice approval/disapproval of the proposed zoning at the public hearing. Written comments must be received by mail or delivered to City Hall prior to the public hearing. The zoning information is available on the City’s website at http://www.monroewa.gov/RooseveltRidge.
If you have any questions, please contact Paul Popelka, Planning & Permitting Manager at 360-863-4554 or ppopelka@monroewa.gov.
Representatives from the Board will be in attendance at the public hearing to voice Association concerns about the annexation and zoning. Please do not hesitate to email one of the Board members if you have any concerns that you would specifically like the Board to address with the City.

What are the board’s current concerns? What does UR6000 and UR9600 refer to? Is that lot size?

The Board’s concerns are the same as they were in 2010 when we attended meetings regarding the proposed zoning changes. These concerns are increased density, potential boundary change for schools, change in public services, increased costs for utilities – including having to pay to hook into the City’s sewer system should your septic fail, negative affect on property values, etc. The City’s proposed zoning would increase the number of houses per acre, thus increasing density in any potential new developments. This would potentially cause increased traffic through our community to access any new developments and does not match the current character of the area.
