<br />Page 5 revised/updated by Kittitas County 6/21/2018 <br />Mitigation Plan. <br />B.7 Future Residential Lot Configuration: Future residential lot configuration shall be designed to <br />minimize indirect impacts to wetlands. Indirect impacts would include changes in quantity or <br />quality of ground or surface water flows feeding the wetlands, noise or light glare at night, <br />removal or corridors used by wildlife to access the wetlands, and stormwater influences. <br />The applicant states that “Dunford Planned Unit Development will <br />design the residential lots in accordance to not impact identified <br />wetlands.” This will need to be demonstrated through the Wetland <br />Mitigation Plan before final platting. A Wetland Mitigation Plan <br />must be submitted at final plat. <br />Satisfied <br />B.8 The three archaeological sites located during the course of the Reiss-Landreau Research cultural <br />resources survey (known as the Zuke Spring Site, the Zuke Farmstead, and the Bettas Road Homestead) <br />have the potential for eligibility to the National Register of Historic places, and shall be avoided in all <br />work plans, or be evaluated for significance, and mitigated appropriately prior to construction. <br />The three archaeological sites are identified within a black hatch <br />area in exhibits 3 and 4 in an area of approximately 6.8 acres. This <br />area overlaps Wetlands A and B along its western border. The <br />applicant indicates a minimum of 4 parking spots within the <br />outlined area with no additional construction proposed. This black <br />hatch area should overlay the blue hatch designation indicating <br />ownership of the Ranch on Swauk Creek LLC. <br />Satisfied: All <br />historical/archeological <br />sites are expressed in <br />open space and will not <br />be part of ay <br />development. <br />B.9 The Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation identified the McCallum family cemetery as <br />being within parcel 20-17-3400-0006. The text on the back of one of the grave markers reads, “This <br />cemetery consists of one acre deeded forever.” A one acre Open Space tract containing the historic <br />cemetery shall be placed on the final development plan. Historic cemeteries are protected from damage <br />under Washington law. <br />Exhibits 3 and 4 indicate a 1 acre tract to accommodate this <br />requirement. The tract is placed within the yellow hatch area, <br />which does not appear to be included in the open space reserved <br />for ownership by the Ranch on Swauk Creek LLC (indicated by <br />the blue hatch area on exhibits 3 and 4) <br />Satisfied: All <br />historical/archeological <br />sites are expressed in <br />open space and will not <br />be part of any <br />development. <br />B.10 If human or unknown remains area discovered at any time during project construction, a <br />professional archaeologist shall be called, and work shall stop until the material is evaluated. <br />Upon inadvertent discovery of human or unknown remains: <br /> a. The appropriate authorities such as the county sheriff and coroner shall be contacted <br />immediately as is required when human remains are discovered; <br /> b. The State of Washington DAHP and local tribal groups, if the burials are deemed Native <br />American, shall be called for consultation; <br /> c. Arrangements shall be made as quickly as possible to identify the affected area, so that <br />work can continue in other areas of the project. It is anticipated that delays will only <br />impinge on the areas agreed to by the consulting parties; and <br /> d. Should human remains be located, decisions about protection and/or evaluation should be <br />made with the appropriate authorities. This procedure should be adequate to allow for <br />minimal project delays. However, if human remains are located, contingencies, such as an <br />alteration in project design, may be necessary. <br />The applicant agrees to provide any contractor with requirements a <br />through d of this section to ensure the appropriate steps are <br />followed upon inadvertent discovery of cultural resources or <br />human or unknown remains. <br />Satisfied <br />B.11 Because of the traffic impact this development will have to the intersection of US 97 and Bettas Road, the <br />developer will be required to rebuild the intersection to provide for left turn channelization, when the <br />condition is warranted. Design of this intersection shall be made in consultation with WSDOT. <br />Applicant will provide documentation prior to platting as to when <br />WSDOT will require traffic revision/ channelization. Documentation <br />will be required from WSDOT prior to final plat. <br />Satisfied <br />B.12 All outdoor lighting shall be shielded and directed downward to minimize the effect to nearby residential <br />properties and shall be directed away from US 97. <br />The applicant agrees that all outdoor lighting associated with <br />residential development will be directed downward to minimize <br />potential impact to surrounding properties. The applicant has <br />agreed to comply with this requirement during the building phase. <br />Satisfied <br />B.13 Development and construction practices for this project shall only occur between the hours of 7:00am to <br />7:00pm to minimize the effect of construction noise on nearby residential properties. Dunford Planned Unit Development will condition construction <br />hours to occur between 8 am to 7pm. The applicant has agreed to <br />Satisfied
