a. Minimal health risk to residents of neighboring properties, whether from noise, fumes, <br />radiation or other hazards; <br />b. Minimal visual impact, achieved with buffering through distance and/or landscaping; <br />c. For power lines and transmission/reception towers, no adverse impact on aviation <br />traffic patterns; <br />d. Convenient access (may not be needed if the facility is automated); <br />e. Encourage use of cold weather engineering practices to cope with power outages; and, <br />f. Ensure that new developments are designed with facilities to withstand a minimum 48- <br />hour power outage. <br />7.1.7 Streets <br />1. Street design should reflect the density of development and the anticipated traffic load, in <br />terms of volume and vehicle type. <br />2. Aesthetically pleasing road design should be encouraged. <br />3. Street names and addresses should be adopted which reflect regional sense of place. <br />4. Streets should be designed with wide shoulders and shallow side swales or ditches to <br />accommodate snow removal, snow melt, and storm water runoff. <br />5. For traffic safety during ice and snow conditions, sharp curves and right angle turns should <br />be avoided where possible. <br />6. Road signs and other objects should be set back a sufficient distance so as not to be an <br />obstacle for snow plows or a danger for motorists in icy conditions. Road signs should be <br />installed at a sufficient height so as to be visible above roadside snow banks . <br />7. Road design standards should be flexible to permit designs, which can accommodate the <br />mountainous environment and which balance safety, maintainability and environmental <br />impact. <br />7.1.8 Capital Facilities and Utilities <br />Recommended Actions <br />1. The EDLU Committee should assist the Snoqualmie Pass Sewer and Water District to ensure <br />that District planning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and that services become <br />available in all unserved areas where they are desired, such as Exit 54 and Gold Creek Valley, <br />consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and commensurate with system capacity. The <br />Committee should support applications by the District for needed expansion to ensure that <br />adequate sewage treatment, water storage capacity, and water rights are available in a <br />timely manner. <br />Kittitas County <br />Comprehensive Plan <br />Decembe r 2016
