The project, as proposed, is not anticipated to be detrimental or injurious to the county and its infrastructure. <br />Existing highways and roads will be utilized and improved where necessary, in addition to some new access <br />roads being created. Police and fire protection will only be utilized for emergency situations and no irrigation, <br />water, sewer, or refuse disposal will be needed. Nothing in the plan suggests excessive public costs resulting <br />from the project. Offsetting anticipated economic detriment will not require mitigation as no detriment is <br />anticipated. <br />3. The proposed use complies with relevant development standards and criteria for approval set forth in this <br />title or other applicable provisions of Kittitas County Code. <br />Applicant Response: The project is consistent with Title 12 (Roads and Bridges), 14 (Building and <br />Construction), 15 (Environmental Policy), 17 (Zoning) ,17A (Critical Areas), 17B (Shorelines), and 20 (Fire <br />and life Safety) of the Kittitas County Code. A detailed explanation/matrix of this section is available in Index <br /># 7, Project Narrative section 2.7.3, #12C. <br />Staff Response: The project, as proposed, complies with Kittitas County Development standards. <br />- A Stormwater plan will be submitted prior to any construction (KCC 12), no building permits are <br />required <br />-An erosion/dust/air quality plan will be completed prior to construction (KCC 14) <br />-An Environmental Impact Statement was completed in October 2016 (KCC 15) <br />-The project will travel primarily within existing utility ROW and “special utilities” are permitted in all <br />zoning districts (KCC 17). <br />-Critical Areas associated with this project were addressed during the EIS process (KCC 17A). <br />-The project does not propose any construction within 200 feet of a shoreline designation. The project is <br />not considered shoreline development along the Columbia River crossing because it does not “interfere <br />with the normal public use of the surface of the waters overlying land subject to the Shoreline <br />Management Act at any stage of water level.” (KCC 17B) <br />-A Fire Protection Plan will be created in cooperation with Fire Districts #4 and KVFR prior to any <br />construction (KCC 20). <br />4. The proposed use will mitigate material impacts of the development, whether environmental or otherwise. <br />Applicant Response: Project impacts were addressed in a series of RDF’s (Required Design Features) <br />identified in the FEIS. A full list of protection measures is available in Attachment 7 of the project submittal <br />folder. <br />Staff Response: The applicant has addressed a list of potential impacts identified in the FEIS process and the <br />mitigations that resulted. After review of this list, CDS is satisfied that relevant impacts have been considered <br />and appropriate mitigations adopted as part of the plan. <br />5. The proposed use will ensure compatibility with existing neighboring land uses. <br />Index # 33
