Easton Ridge Land Company, Inc. December 2019 <br />Update to Development Agreement <br />Marian Meadows <br />Response to Marge Brandsrud <br />General Requirements: We have no comment regarding the County Codes she sites. <br />We would also note that much of Ms. Brandsrud's questions whether this an appropriate <br />developmental use within Kittitas County's rural zoning. We would like to point out that within <br />the Commissioners deliberation about this plat, this single topic was focused on. So much so that <br />the Commissioners remanded the decision back to the Hearing Examiner for his opinion of the <br />project and its rural character. Please see the final decision rendered by the Hearing Examiner in <br />regards to the rural character of Marian Meadows. <br />The number of townhomes are documented throughout the approvals and again within the <br />Development Agreement. All engineered drawing illustrate the townhome element and it is <br />identified within the Development Agreement. <br />Large eastern parcels of the development. As Ms. Brandsrud outlines, these lots are not like the <br />core of Marian Meadows. They are elevated and separated by significant slope, large in size and <br />contain characteristics unique to these lots. We have requested they be viewed differently as it is <br />likely that a continued forest practice presence will continue along with open space designations. <br />It is our opinion that these lots will not share any of the amenities of the general plat including <br />roadways. <br />DA speaks of a 15' setback for one portion of the storage complex. Upon further examination, <br />the 15' is a landscape buffer from a 35' natural buffer and only in the location of a project rear <br />facing wall of the complex. All other buffers exceed this. <br />Definition for Recreational Vehicle. As noted, we are open to all varieties. The intent is a <br />complex that can house and service these general units. Due to what is associated with RV's, <br />each storage unit will be sprinklered and monitored for gases. The intention is for the service <br />area to include a monitoring station of each unit. <br />While outside storage will be strictly controled and not allowed during winter months, it is likely <br />that units waiting for servicing or repair will be parked outside of the service shop and within the <br />fenced area. <br />Ownership versus usage of storage units. We have raised this as a concern on our part. Any use <br />of a unit will be governed by County Code and Community Standards that will apply to renters <br />
