July 22, 2019 <br />Kittitas County Board of Commissioners <br />411 N Ruby Street, Suite 2 <br />Ellensburg, WA 98926 <br />To Whom It May Concern, <br />ki JUL 2 <br />4 2019 (Ze:,', <br />"'tas COUnty CDS <br />I would like to bring to your attention a complete and total disregard for County directives by the Marian Meadows <br />land owner, Easton Ridge Land Company, LLC and its developer Martens Enterprises, LLC. <br />NOTIFICATION <br />Per your June 3, 2019 letter on Item #2, according to the !CCC 15A.030.060, a Notice of Application will be sent to the <br />public (adjacent landowners) and this was not done. This is a direct violation of your directives. <br />ILLEGAL SINGLE ACCESS <br />Per your June 3, 2019, letter to Martens Enterprises, LLC (attached) you instructed the developer in Item #1 to post <br />the property by the applicant on the street frontage. The "street" you are allowing to be designated is not a "street" but <br />rather a private road to access an HOA Lot 1 and Lot 2 with covenants. Instead the former Commissioners and <br />County Road Division allowed said "street" to be paved, named and a stop sign installed — all of which is illegal. <br />Marian Meadows does not have legal access to this planned development. <br />EGRESS <br />There needs to be two ways out of this development. The development IS LANDLOCKED! Private ownership on all <br />four sides. Now they are proposing a second exit down Bonneville power lines and out private land owned by <br />Ellensburg Cement Products. <br />I recommend the current Board of Commissioners assign an expert to look back 10 years on this parcel and I assure <br />you that you will notice former members of the Commission and County Road allowed this single access illegally. I <br />assure you, this entire "street' and intersection is illegal and needs to be restored back to its original intent. <br />FIRE PROTECTION CONCERNS <br />The land owner and developer have never reached out to the Kittitas County Fire District 3 which is deliberate and <br />calculated because they know this development lacks proper legal egress. They know the department lacks a ladder <br />truck to suppress fires in a 2 -story Townhome and RV "Storage" Garage yet still show it on their design plan. They <br />know the current fire station has three hazards preventing on-time response (train crossing between the fire station <br />and the development plus congested freeway Exit 70, congested gas station (last services until the summit and <br />closure in the winter). <br />SCHOOLCONCERNS <br />The school cannot support an increase in attendance for a development of this size. With King County housing prices <br />growing, the developer is not accurately forecasting attendance and the County bears the responsibility to validate <br />these numbers on behalf of citizens of Easton and our school children. <br />Thank you for listening to my concerns, <br />Scott �pbe <br />PO Box 700 <br />Easton, WA 98925 <br />
