FLOOD CONTROL ZONE DISTRICT FCZD CITIZENADVISORYBOARD OUESTIONNAIRE: Mark stated that for the past year staff has been engaging the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) on a proposal to bring a rate payer advisory group to help guide the FCZD in both in the level and intensity of investing and to be an advisory board to staff to vet issues for the BOCC. Staff has been moving ahead and today presented a proposed questionnaire that staff would recommend would be part of the first outreach process to be conducted. The questionnaire has an error in the first sentence and will be corrected. Mark continued that if the Board feels the content and aim is appropriate to the Board then open houses would be held, one in upper county and one in lower county; press releases in advance and then when a pool of applicants will be compiled. The Board would go through the questionnaire to help select the advisory board. Commissioner Jewell stated he reviewed the questionnaire and thought it was more extensive than necessary and would like to confirm that the error will be corrected. Discussion was held. Board Direction: Make correction to questionnaire and any other changes suggested by the Board after a more thorough review. REQ UEST TO APPROVE A NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER LEASING LOT C-7 OF THE KITTITAS CO UNTYAIRPORT BINDING SITE PLAN TO VALLEY FENCE, INC.: Mark presented the Notice of Public Hearing to consider leasing Lot C-7 of the Kittitas County Airport Binding Site Plan to the Board for consideration. Mark gave background stating that Valley Fence, Inc. is proposing to use the lot to store fencing materials and was seeking to use some of the property for RV storage; however, the current zoning does not allow this. Mark continued that the applicant requested that staff petition a code amendment to allow some level of RV storage at the site. Commissioner Jewell inquired as to the level of RV storage being asked for and Mark replied it would be a minimal level due to the size of the lot but it would include motorhomes and boats being stored along with the fencing materials.
