Kittitas County December 2016 Comprehensive Plan <br />1. Develop base facilities into all-season, multi-use complexes. <br />2. Encourage upgrade of existing facilities to properly accommodate present and future <br />demand. <br />3. Provide additional recreational opportunities to local and statewide recreational users. <br />4. Encourage aesthetically and environmentally sound development of chairlift placement, <br />alpine and Nordic trails, runs and summer use to be compatible with view-sheds and other <br />recreational uses. <br />5. Encourage development of extensive summer use trail networks to harmoniously <br />accommodate hikers/sightseers, mountain biking and equestrian use. <br />6. Encourage adoption of the ski areas for multi-use by those with disabilities. <br />7. Provide alternative, non-fee based winter use, which is in harmony with other winter <br />recreation uses such as back country access through USFS permitted areas. <br />V.5 Goal: Provide open space for properly managed festivals, cultural events, theater, athletic <br />events and formal public parks. Such open space and events should be appropriately scaled to be <br />harmonious with the mountain environment and its other recreation attributes. The following <br />issues should be addressed: <br />a. Traffic impact; <br />b. Sound impact; <br />c. Effective event and off-site security; <br />d. Sufficient event parking and spill-over parking in controlled areas; <br />e. Litter control and clean-up; <br />f. Overnight camping only in legal camping areas; <br />g. Sufficient community support services (e.g. medical, fire); <br />h. Sufficient sanitation capacity; <br />i. Adequate provisions for safe pedestrian routes; and, <br />j. Should not impair or reduce the natural setting. <br />V.6 Goal: Encourage the development of a "village center" within which cultural and community <br />uses and activities can be clustered. <br />V.7 Goal: Analyze the potential of Keechelus Lake as a boating, fishing, swimming/beach area. The <br />feasibility of removing the stumps from the lake should be investigated. Encourage Federal, State <br />and local agencies to develop a management plan which optimizes the recreational opportunities <br />of the lake. <br />V.8 Goal: Create an identity, which promotes the recognition of the Pass as a unified, multiple use <br />recreation and resort area. <br />Objectives:
