Marian Meadows – 3/15/2017 resubmit Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br />• Residential Element- Consistent with KCC 17.15.060 allowing for 1 unit per 5 acres, <br />covering single family and multifamily uses. <br />• RV Storage-allowed use under Ordinance 18-006, CU-17-0001, and KCC 17.15.060 within <br />a PUD. <br />• RV Park and Campground- Allowed under Ordinance 18-006, CU-17-0001 and KCC <br />17.15.060 and via a CUP. <br />• RV retail and Service- allowed within Ordinance 18-006 KC Codes. This will be <br />administered and governed as delineated within the Development Agreement provision. The <br />purpose for a DA is: KCC 15A.11.010-A development agreement may be appropriate for <br />large, complex or phased projects, or projects which were not contemplated by existing <br />development regulations or existing application procedures. A development agreement may <br />include provisions which are different or in addition to other county development <br />regulations, as long as impacts are mitigated. (Ord. 2000-07; Ord. 9810, 1998) <br /> <br />A Development Agreement is a required condition of the referenced Ordinance 18-006 for the <br />Marian Meadows plat and will address the needs for: <br />• Phasing, <br />• Mitigations for impacts to Easton School District, Kittitas County Fire District #3 and other <br />elements as outlined with Ord. 18-006, <br />• Condensing densities and allowed uses under provisions within KCC for Planned Unit <br />Developments. This includes clustered development of single-family residential uses, <br />attached townhome uses, Recreational Vehicle storage and other recreational uses, <br />• The inclusion of a retail/service shop into the overall private RV complex. The overhead, <br />management and operations of this complex will need to be administered with a level of <br />accountability exceeding what generally is in place with traditional HOA operations. The <br />allowance of a commercial entity which is licensed, bonded and insured will be more <br />accountable and responsive to the oversight of governing jurisdictions, <br />• The commercial element will provide full time monitoring of all RV related activities, <br />which <br />• Will provide accountability and responsiveness to the needs of the residential components of <br />the overall proposal, and <br />• will provide an additional financial base in support of the Marian Meadows residential <br />community, <br /> <br />As mentioned above, we view the Marian Meadows plat as a-typical for rural Kittitas County <br />parcels. The parcel is located in close proximity to the Easton LAMRID with the associated <br />services of a municipal Water District, School District, Fire Services and varied service levels of <br />commercial and residential properties. The area could be closely compared to urban growth areas <br />surrounding other County Cities if it was located further to the east. <br /> <br />Within the provisions of Washington State’s Growth Management Act (GMA) LAMIRD’s have <br />unique conditions applied to them allowing for increased densities and economic development <br />opportunities. Within Kittitas County’s Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 2.4.1 earmarks these areas <br />as small, rural communities where rural residents and others can gather, work, shop, entertain, and <br />reside. Commercial and industrial development compatible with rural character may continue to <br />locate and prosper in rural areas under limited conditions. <br />
