standards. 34.6 KCC 17.98.020(6)(f): This provision has been met because the proposed amendment will not be materially detrimental to the use of properties in the immediate vicinity of the subject property because, although there was substantial public comment regarding concerns for impacts on neighboring properties, the mitigation measures set forth in the FE1S and the Development Agreement are substantial and will mitigate the adverse consequences of this development. 34.7 KCC 17.98.020(6)(g): This provision has been met because, the proposed changes in use of the subject property shall not adversely impact irrigation water deliveries to other properties because irrigation is not available to the subject property and there has been no indication of any disruption of irrigation services throughout the area. 34.8 KCC 1798.020(6)(h): The proposed amendment is in full compliance with KCC Chapter 17.13, Transfer of Development Rights, if the proposed amendment allows greater than one (1) dwelling unit (du) per twenty (20) acres or proposes to decrease the dwelling units (du) allowed in the zone classification. This provision does not apply. Kittitas County Code 17.36.045 (1)(a) 35. Criteria applicable to all PUDs: 35.1 KCC 17.36.045(1)(a)(i): PUD complies with all amendment criteria in KCC Chapter 17.98 because of additional Findings of Fact 26 to 34 above. 35.2 KCC 17.36.045(1)(a)(ii): PUD makes economic and efficient use of land, streets, and public services because although the total subject property size is approximately 445 acres, only 170 of those acres are to be rezoned into a Planned Unit Development and platted into 89 lots. The domestic water will be supplied by the Easton Water District, a Public Water System and sewage will be through individually onsite septic, shared septic and large onsite septic as needed. Public services will have one defined area with which to service and street will be efficiently and centrally located, again towards the goal of efficient and economic use of public services. 35.3 KCC 17.36.045(1)(a)(iii): PUD preserves usable open space, important natural features, and other amenities because the vast majority of the property, including the hillside which is part of the property to the north, as open space preserving the natural features and wildlife habitat that open space affords. Of course having 89 residential lots on 170 acres will be disruptive to wild life in that specific area. However, the vast majority of this 445.42 acres will remain as undeveloped open space. This open space is usable for hiking, sightsceing and other recreational activities. PD -17-00001, CU -17-00001, LP -17-00001 Marian Meadows Project Additional Recommended Findings of Fact Page 5 of 7
