The transmission line will be used to service a connection between <br />Pacific Power's Pomona Substation in Yakima County and the Bonneville Power <br />Administration's Vantage Substation in Grant County. <br />The transmission line route will cross into Kittitas County along the southern county line <br />between Highway 821 and Interstate 82, and then continues north-northeast for <br />approximately 6 miles. The transmission line turns northeast a mile before crossing <br />interstate 82 south of Exit 11 and continues that direction to Badger Pocket where it turns <br />east. The transmission line continues east for approximately 14 miles then turns northeast <br />just before crossing the Columbia River. The new transmission line parallels existing <br />transmission line corridors for most of the length through Kittitas County. <br />WHEREAS, no public testimony was heard, in favor of and against the proposal as there were no <br />members of the public present at the hearing; and, <br />WHEREAS, due notice of the hearing had been given as required by law, and the necessary inquiry <br />has been made into the public interest to be served by such use; and, <br />WHEREAS, the Hearing Examiner recommended approval of said proposed zoning conditional use;
