Lacey’s Utilities Committee recommended Draham Road annexation for full council approval during its meeting last July 3.
The parcel is within the Pleasant Glade Planning Area and the Lacey Urban Growth Area west of Judd Street SE, north of 15th Avenue NE/Draham Road NE, south of Cuoio Park, and west of the existing city limits boundary.
The proposed annexation area’s 2022-2023 assessed value is $55,927,000.
“It is a project that has been in our plans for a long time,” Planning Manager Ryan Andrews said. “Thurston County’s been collecting traffic mitigation fees for this area, so we need to look at the county and see what is available to help offset the cost and see if it can be transferred to the city.”
The area, a mixture of single-family residential use on larger lots, includes 189 tax parcels totaling approximately 210 acres.
It also includes critical areas and buffers primarily associated with Woodland and Eagle Creek.
The area’s annexation is consistent with City Council priorities for annexation, and it will eliminate a potential unincorporated island while creating more logical city-limit boundaries.
