A development agreement may include provisions which are different or in addition to other county development regulations, as long as impacts are mitigated. (Ord. 2000-07; Ord. 9810, 1998) A Development Agreement is a required condition of the referenced Ordinance 18-006 for the Marian Meadows plat and will address the needs for: • Phasing, • Mitigations for impacts to Easton School District, Kittitas County Fire District #3 and other elements as outlined with Ord. 18-006, • Condensing densities and allowed uses under provisions within KCC for Planned Unit Developments. This includes clustered development of single-family residential uses, attached townhome uses, Recreational Vehicle storage and other recreational uses, • The inclusion of a retail/service shop into the overall private RV complex. The overhead, management and operations of this complex will need to be administered with a level of accountability exceeding what generally is in place with traditional HOA operations. The allowance of a commercial entity which is licensed, bonded and insured will be more accountable and responsive to the oversight of governing jurisdictions, • The commercial element will provide full time monitoring of all RV related activities, which will provide accountability and responsiveness to the needs of the residential components of the overall proposal, and • This will provide an additional financial base in support of the Marian Meadows residential community. As mentioned above, we view the Marian Meadows plat as a -typical for rural Kittitas County parcels. The parcel is located in close proximity to the Easton LAMRID with the associated services of a municipal Water District, School District, Fire Services and varied service levels of commercial and residential properties. The area could be closely compared to urban growth areas surrounding other County Cities located further to the east. Within the provisions of Washington State's Growth Management Act (GMA) LAMIRD's have unique conditions applied to them allowing for increased densities and economic development opportunities. Within Kittitas County's Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 2.4.1 earmarks these areas as small, rural communities where rural residents and others can gather, work, shop, entertain, and reside. Commercial and industrial development compatible with rural character may continue to locate and prosper in rural areas under these limited conditions.
