K1111TAsCOUN Y <br />DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />Mark Cook, PE Director <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Kittitas County Board of County Commissioners <br />FROM: Lucas Huck P.E. County Engineer <br />DATE: March 27, 2018 <br />SUBJECT: Easton Memorial Day Celebration Special Event Application <br />After review of the application and letters dated March 23rd, 2018 for the proposed "Easton <br />Memorial Day Celebration", I have found that the applicant has identified that this event will <br />obstruct, interfere or require the closure and free use of public roads and rights of way. <br />Illustrations identifying the proposed route in which 2000 people will occupy about 1500 linear <br />feet of Railroad Street for eight hours have been reviewed. Applicant has stated the event will <br />require road closure or detour signs. Applicant highlighted the detour route, but did not provide <br />signing plans. This is unordinary road use that the traveling public is not routinely exposed to. <br />Public Works will require traffic control techniques to be implemented for this event, which will <br />include traffic control plans, and or signing plans being provided to the County for review. The <br />safety of both the event participants, and the traveling public would benefit from these traffic <br />control strategies being implemented. <br />Additionally the applicant will be required to issue advanced notification for the event and any <br />traffic impacts in the Daily Record and NKC Tribune two weeks in advance to inform the <br />traveling public. <br />Public Works recommends approval of this event based on these conditions being upheld. <br />Please feel free to contact Kittitas County Public Works with any additional questions you may <br />have at 509-962-7523. <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />411 N.
