County Commission approves controversial Wandermere apartments

Spokane County Commissioners gave the go-ahead Tuesday night for construction of a controversial apartment complex near Wandermere Golf Course. The unanimous approval of a zoning change allowing Rudeen Development to build the complex came after the company and neighbors brokered their own, private agreement. The deal calls for a 310-unit complex, neighborhood approval of fencing, a tree buffer to be planted along Wandermere Road and limiting construction to after 7 a.m. In exchange, neighbors agreed to drop an appeal of the project before the Spokane County Hearing Examiner. The parties also agreed not to sue each other until they’ve attempted mediation. Neighbors lodged the appeal earlier this year, saying the complex would add too much traffic to the area and crowd the Mead School District.
