45-townhome subdivision proposed at 15112 51st Street NE, with comment window open until May 5

Sage Homes Land Co has applied to subdivide about 3.5 acres into 45 townhome lots, and the city's environmental comment period runs through May 5, 2026 1.

What the records say

Sage Homes Land Co, LLC has applied to the City of Marysville for a subdivision called Strawberry Fields Townhomes on about 3.5 acres at 15112 51st Street NE. The plan would split the land into 45 townhome lots in the city's Medium Density Multiple Family (R-18) zone 1. The proposal also covers site improvements: recreational open space, internal roads, utility extensions, and street frontage improvements 1. The application was deemed complete on April 14, 2026, and the city must decide within 120 days of that date 1. Before deciding, the application will go to an Open Record Public Hearing before the Hearing Examiner; a separate notice with the hearing date is expected later 1. The city is also using the optional streamlined state environmental review (SEPA) process under WAC 197-11-355 and anticipates issuing a Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance (MDNS). Under this optional process, the city states this notice may be the only opportunity to comment on the environmental impacts of the proposal 1.

  • Applicant proposes a 45-unit townhome lot subdivision on ~3.5 acres at 15112 51st Street NE (file PA26-0009).
  • Site improvements include recreational open space, internal roads, utility extensions, and street frontage improvements.
  • Written comments are due by 4:00 PM on May 5, 2026 1.
  • The city anticipates issuing an MDNS and is using the optional SEPA process, which may make this the only environmental comment opportunity.
  • An Open Record Public Hearing before the Hearing Examiner is required; a hearing notice is forthcoming.
  • A decision is due within 120 days of the April 14, 2026 completeness date.

Why it matters

If you live near 51st Street NE, this is your window to weigh in on traffic, drainage, and neighborhood impacts before the city's review advances. Written comments are due by 4:00 PM on May 5, 2026, to Senior Planner Emily Morgan at (360) 363-8216 or emorgan@marysvillewa.gov, and anyone can request notice, participate in hearings, and appeal the final decision as provided by law 1. Because the city is using the optional SEPA process, skipping this comment period may mean losing the only opportunity to raise environmental concerns 1.

What changed / what's next

  • A formal application for the 45-lot Strawberry Fields Townhomes subdivision was submitted and deemed complete on April 14, 2026, starting the city's review and public comment process 1.
  • A subsequent Notice of Public Hearing before the Hearing Examiner is forthcoming and will set the date for public testimony 1.
  • The SEPA threshold determination, when issued, can be obtained upon request; existing environmental documents on file include a SEPA checklist, traffic impact analysis, geotechnical report, critical area report, and preliminary drainage report 1.
