boats, snowmobiles, motorcycles, side by sides, four wheelers, jet skis and others. While a travel trailer or Motorhome can contain gasoline, diesel and propane, additional motorized recreational vehicles are often fueled using portable gas containers which in a public setting would require proper storage in an approved FLAMMABLE storage cabinet. Again there is no provision in law for fire safety inspections of private property. I believe the storage units could be a public safety hazard without guaranteed stringent oversight. (h) Overnight and human habitation of recreational vehicle storage units are restricted by condition 41 page 32 of Kittitas County Ordinance 2018-006 (i) "Outside storage would be limited, seasonal and ***". I do not see any description which demonstrates there is outside storage for the RV Complex. The application specifically states there will be not outside storage. Would this statement be a request for additional uses not included in original application? Item 4.4 General Provisions page 4 of the proposed Resolution for a Development Agreement between Kittitas County and the applicant states "Ownership within SCRVR is limited to interior storage spaces and does not allow for exterior storage. (j) "Storage unit use would be limited to free and simple ownership, tenants and guest" Conditi-on 40 of Kittitas County Ordinance 2018-006 states "The recreational vehicle storage units shall be for the exclusive use of recreational vehicle storage unit owners and shall not be rented to. Or used by, any other person for any amount of time. Tenants and guests would not be allowed to use the recreational vehicle storage units therefore the language in this document must be corrected to be in compliance with the ordinance. Keep in mind that allowed uses in a PUD other than residential are restricted to parcel owners within the PUD and are not to serve the public. Allowing public use of PUD amenities would be a violation of code and would require revocation of the Conditional Use Permit. This statement also applies to Exhibit F- Conditions Page 2 item 40) in which the applicant indicates CC&R's will provide restrictions limiting use to ownership and inferring such a restriction would appear to be a violation and restriction on private property rights. CC&R'S offer little assurance of continued compliance and can be changed easily especially if the majority parcel owner is the developer. As far as violating private property rights, I believe a Conditional Use Permit is a use that is conditioned upon existing code and in this case a Development Agreement. If the applicant believes this condition violates private property rights perhaps the application should be withdrawn until such time Washington State laws and Kittitas County Code are in agreement with the applicants beliefs. Note: Finding of fact 37.,1. C G 3e ; .F' iciiiltas County Ordinance 2018-006 mid pa.rapreph — "the campground and recreai Ic fli, ve i &.[e storage areas are for the use of property owners only, and not to be sold, rented, leased or otherwise used by nonresident pubiic. I believe this statement indicates the intention of County Commissioners is to restrict ownership and use of the RV Complex and campground to PUD residents. Documents presented by the applicant are vague on this subject and must be presented with a clear statement regarding ownership and use of the RV Complex and campground which is clear and in compliance with the ordinance. Such language which reflects use as stated in the above referenced finding of face must be included in any document moving forward. Section 2 6. RV Complex 4
