There’s been a lot of big changes happening recently in the Tehaleh area, and lots of new terms being thrown around and you may find yourself feeling confused. The Community Association Manager recognizes this and wants to help bring some clarity.
One of the terms often coming up nowadays is “Exception Areas”. What this is referring to are the chunks of privately owned property that is surrounded by Tehaleh, but not a part of the planned community. A portion of these “Exception Areas” currently have families living on them, and consist of 2, 5, and 10 acre plots. It’s possible that over the next few years, some of these parcels of land will be developed as they are in the county’s Urban Growth Area.
In recent news, a preliminary plat for “Bonney Lake 26” was submitted by Soundbuilt Homes. This will essentially start the planning process of permitting the residential development of two plots that total 26 acres. You may have already seen the yellow “Public Notice” sign along 198th. Though by now you’re used to seeing these yellow signs around in relation to Tehaleh projects, this one is unrelated to Tehaleh and Newland Communities.
