The focus of the October 4 public hearing is on revenue sources. The City Council Agenda and Packet can be accessed here. 3. Carillon Apartments Amenities Building Public Hearing - Tuesday October 11 (9:30 AM) The City's Hearing Examiner will be holding a public hearing on a proposed amenity building for the Carillon Point Apartments located at 5604 Lakeview Drive. Background: City Council approved the existing Master Plan in 1988. It included plans for a recreation building in an area along Lake Washington Blvd. that is now encumbered by a stream and critical area buffers. This means that the approved location is no longer code-compliant per KZC 90. Over the years, the property owners decided not to construct the recreation building; however, in 2019, the applicants chose to pursue an amenity building. With the 1988 location no longer code-compliant, the application proposes to locate the amenity building along the east side of the property adjacent to the CKC outside of any streams, wetlands, and associated buffers. Application Materials: The staff report is still being finalized, so check the City's Hearing Examiner's web site during the week. A copy of the applicant’s plans and public amenity package are attached below for your reference. Public Comment: Written comments must be submitted by 5:00 PM on October 10, 2022, the day before the hearing; however, the October 11 public hearing is open to everyone, and anyone in attendance will have an opportunity to speak. Written comments should refer to Permit No. ZON21-00460 and include the commenter’s name, address, and e-mail address. We hope to see you at the October 11 CHNA meeting. The more people that participate, the better the Neighborhood Association can assist in working toward keeping and improving our community for all. Please forward this email and agenda to others that may be interested. In the meantime, if you have any questions or comments, including ideas for future meeting topics, please let us know at centralhoughton@gmail.com. Thanks Larry Toedtli, President Central Houghton Neighborhood Association
The notes from our March 8, 2022, regular meeting are provided below. We covered a lot of current and ongoing topics including the Sunsetting of the Houghton Community Council, the La Quinta Inn homeless housing proposal. We also reported on the proposed mailer and 2022 Celebration Event. Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday May10. We will be electing Board members and also discussing proposed changes to our Bylaws to engage younger residents in the neighborhood association.

CHNA Members and Guests: The agenda for our regular meeting on March 8 (7:00 pm) is attached. We will have updates on several topics including:
1. State Legislation on Sunsetting the Houghton Community Council HB 1769 (web link above) has passed the State House and is now on the floor of the State Senate. The bill could be voted on any day.. The Legislative session is scheduled to end March 10. The bill, as currently written, would effectively sunset the existence of the Houghton Community Council immediately. This would ignore the overwhelming (76%) vote of Houghton residents on November 2, 2021 to extend the HCC until December 31, 2025. You can contact any of the Senators to share your thoughts to express your position on the bill. Senators (wa.gov) 2. La Quinta Hotel for Housing I want to make sure that you are aware that the Houghton Community Council Meeting on Monday February 28 includes discussion of the proposed purchase of the La Quinta Hotel for use as a permanent supportive housing facility. The Chair of the Houghton Community Council has asked for representatives from King County and the City of Kirkland to attend the Houghton Community Council meeting occurring Monday, February 28, 2022, at 7 p.m. via Zoom and provide information on the potential purchase of La Quinta Hotel by King County for permanent supportive housing. To view the agenda, including Zoom webinar information, please visit the City's website. You can read more about the program at - King County's Health Through Housing Initiative in Kirkland – City of Kirkland (kirklandwa.gov) I look forward to seeing you at the meeting next week. As always, please let us know if you have ideas for topics for future meetings or would like to be part of our Board. Larry Toedtli, President Central Houghton Neighborhood Association
To all- Thanks to all of the people that attended our meeting last week. some really good discussion on several topics. A focus was on the proposed legislation moving forward at the state to sunset the Houghton community council (and East Bellevue Community Council). We discussed how people can track the bill and provide comments. This information and web links are summarized in the meeting notes. If you have any questions or comments, please email us at centralhoughton@gmail.com. We also discussed current activities related to our 2021-2022 Matching Grant. If you would like to assist on any of these, please contact us (centralhoughton@gmail.com). At the end of the meeting, we also discussed possible changes to our Bylaws to allow high school students to be members. We also noted a need for more people to assist CHNA as Board members or volunteers. Sincerely Larry Toedtli, President Central Houghton Neighborhood Association
