He felt the map needed a lot of work & <br />better definition of footprint. COMMISSIONER O’BRIEN acknowledged <br />how Staff & GIS who were committed to doing their job and there may <br />be too much to generate one map to cover everything. He said he <br />would be in favor of a Conditional Use Permit in Zone 1, and <br />possibly have Zone 2 and Zone 3 as an Administrative CUP. CHAIRMAN <br />OSIADACZ said it had been interesting going through the process and <br />how their decision will shape the future of Kittitas County and the <br />importance of protecting the limited and valuable farm lands. She <br />spoke of past dealings with EFSEC and the County’s been disappointed <br />with their decisions and feels it’s important the County is clear <br />when writing their Codes so they are aware of the direction in which <br />the County is planning and conditions that can be relied upon. <br /> <br />The Board asked Staff to bring back a map and changes according to <br />their direction. MR. CARLSON did not believe they could accomplish <br />what the Board was asking for by July 10th and urged them to extend <br />the moratorium to allow for additional time to make the changes. <br /> <br />COMMISSIONER JEWELL moved to extend the moratorium for 6 months and <br />instruct Staff to provide review of the proposed amendments and <br />draft an Ordinance to bring back to the Board as quickly as <br />possible. COMMISSIONER O’BRIEN seconded. Motion carried 3-0. <br /> <br />The Board of County Commissioners thanked everyone for being part of <br />the process. <br /> <br />The meeting was adjourned at 8:17 p.m. <br /> <br />KITTITAS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />CLERK OF THE BOARD KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Julie Kjorsvik Laura Osiadacz, Chairman <br />
