Kittitas County December 2016 Comprehensive Plan <br />Snoqualmie Summit <br />The Summit will continue to develop as the recreational and community center point of the <br />Pass. New development should be primarily focused toward providing commercial and <br />community services for the year round recreational visitor, other tourists and community <br />residents. Both Forest Service activities and private development should cater to visitor needs <br />by providing information, services and products. Recreation related services should be <br />coordinated to complement each other and provide a complete range of activities, i.e. <br />skiing/hiking, shopping, dining, and lodging. Community needs should be identified and <br />provided to project proponents, land owners and governmental agencies. <br />Summit Central <br />Summit Central should be similar in use to Alpental in that it will be oriented toward providing <br />recreational facilities and services. A mixed use facility could be developed which could be sited <br />to be accessible to the general traveler and the resident population; facilities might include <br />conference facilities within a hotel/motel complex. <br />Exit 54 <br />Because of its visibility and land base, the commercial area at Exit 54 could provide services <br />directed toward the traveler on I-90 (its location makes this area less conducive to ski related <br />services). Over time, as Gold Creek Valley, Hyak and other residential areas develop, or as the <br />Summit is built-out, Exit 54 may become a convenient place for such uses as a community <br />center, post office, and/or general store or supermarket. <br />General <br />All activity centers should inform visitors about the entire range of Pass areas and activities. <br />Directional signs and maps should be used at each. Activity centers should be connected, where <br />practical, by trails. <br />3.6.2 Design Guideline Outline <br />Site Planning <br /> Environmental Conditions (solar access, wind, vegetation) <br /> Grades (cuts and fills) <br /> Drainage <br /> Utilities <br /> Circulation (vehicle and pedestrian) <br /> Storage (firewood, snow, trash) <br /> Parking <br /> Public spaces
