Page 5 revised/updated by Kittitas County 6/21/2018 that road construction may result in wetland impacts. Kittitas County requires, to the extent practical, a zero net loss of wetlands (KCC 17A.04.015). In the event that disturbance to Wetland A cannot be avoided: a) disturbed areas shall be replaced at a ratio of 1.5 to 1, in accordance with KCC 17A.04.050; b) remaining undisturbed areas of Wetland A and its buffer shall be placed in an Open Space tract; and c) prior to ground disturbance, a Wetland Mitigation Plan, showing areas of wetland disturbance and creation shall be submitted to Community Development Services for review and approval in consultation with Washington State Departments of Ecology and Fish and Wildlife. Prior to final development plan approval, all necessary wetland replacement and features shall be constructed according to the Wetland Mitigation Plan. buffer of 20 feet for Wetland A. Wetland A, according to exhibits 3 and 4, does not rest in the open space area indicated with blue hatch as required. The applicant indicated that road construction could impact wetland areas. No documentation of potential impacts or Wetland Mitigation Plan was submitted. The applicant expressed that this will be submitted for final platting. B.7 Future Residential Lot Configuration: Future residential lot configuration shall be designed to minimize indirect impacts to wetlands. Indirect impacts would include changes in quantity or quality of ground or surface water flows feeding the wetlands, noise or light glare at night, removal or corridors used by wildlife to access the wetlands, and stormwater influences. The applicant states that “Dunford Planned Unit Development will design the residential lots in accordance to not impact identified wetlands.” This will need to be demonstrated through the Wetland Mitigation Plan before final platting. A Wetland Mitigation Plan must be submitted at final plat. Satisfied B.8 The three archaeological sites located during the course of the Reiss-Landreau Research cultural resources survey (known as the Zuke Spring Site, the Zuke Farmstead, and the Bettas Road Homestead) have the potential for eligibility to the National Register of Historic places, and shall be avoided in all work plans, or be evaluated for significance, and mitigated appropriately prior to construction. The three archaeological sites are identified within a black hatch area in exhibits 3 and 4 in an area of approximately 6.8 acres. This area overlaps Wetlands A and B along its western border. The applicant indicates a minimum of 4 parking spots within the outlined area with no additional construction proposed. This black hatch area should overlay the blue hatch designation indicating ownership of the Ranch on Swauk Creek LLC. Satisfied: All historical/archeological sites are expressed in open space and will not be part of ay development. B.9 The Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation identified the McCallum family cemetery as being within parcel 20-17-3400-0006. The text on the back of one of the grave markers reads, “This cemetery consists of one acre deeded forever.” A one acre Open Space tract containing the historic cemetery shall be placed on the final development plan. Historic cemeteries are protected from damage under Washington law. Exhibits 3 and 4 indicate a 1 acre tract to accommodate this requirement. The tract is placed within the yellow hatch area, which does not appear to be included in the open space reserved for ownership by the Ranch on Swauk Creek LLC (indicated by the blue hatch area on exhibits 3 and 4) Satisfied: All historical/archeological sites are expressed in open space and will not be part of any development. B.10 If human or unknown remains area discovered at any time during project construction, a professional archaeologist shall be called, and work shall stop until the material is evaluated. Upon inadvertent discovery of human or unknown remains: a. The appropriate authorities such as the county sheriff and coroner shall be contacted immediately as is required when human remains are discovered; b. The State of Washington DAHP and local tribal groups, if the burials are deemed Native American, shall be called for consultation; c. Arrangements shall be made as quickly as possible to identify the affected area, so that work can continue in other areas of the project. It is anticipated that delays will only impinge on the areas agreed to by the consulting parties; and d. Should human remains be located, decisions about protection and/or evaluation should be made with the appropriate authorities. This procedure should be adequate to allow for minimal project delays. However, if human remains are located, contingencies, such as an alteration in project design, may be necessary. The applicant agrees to provide any contractor with requirements a through d of this section to ensure the appropriate steps are followed upon inadvertent discovery of cultural resources or human or unknown remains. Satisfied B.11 Because of the traffic impact this development will have to the intersection of US 97 and Bettas Road, the developer will be required to rebuild the intersection to provide for left turn channelization, when the condition is warranted. Design of this intersection shall be made in consultation with WSDOT. Applicant will provide documentation prior to platting as to when WSDOT will require traffic revision/ channelization. Documentation will be required from WSDOT prior to final plat. Satisfied
