15. Power-generating facilities shall require a conditional use permit. <br />16. Clearing of vegetation for the installation or maintenance of utilities shall be kept to a <br />minimum and upon project completion any disturbed areas shall be restored to their pre- <br />project condition. <br />17. Telecommunication towers, such as radio and cell phone towers, are specifically prohibited <br />in shoreline ju risdiction. <br />18. Utilities that need water crossings shall be placed deep enough to avoid the need for bank <br />stabilization and stream/riverbed filling both during construction and in the future due to <br />flooding and bank erosion that may occur over time. Boring, rather than open trenching, is <br />the preferred method of utility water crossing. <br />19. Water systems for irrigation or domestic supply are permitted uses if allowable under <br />Washington State water laws and regulations. <br />(Ord. 2016-006,2016) <br />178.06.200 Shoreline bulk and dimensional standards. <br />A. Policies. Pursuant to RCW 36.70A.480, the shoreline bulk and dimensional standards policies of <br />theWKittitasCountyShorelineMasterProgramshallbeconsideredaspoliciesofthe <br />Kittitas Cou nty Comprehensive Plan. <br />B. Regulations. <br />1. The Table at KCC 178.06.200-1 establishes the minimum dimensional requirements for <br />shoreline use development. Dimensional standards are measured on the horizontal plane, <br />as applicable. Dimensional standards relating to critical areas are governed by the <br />provisions of KCC 178.05.020 Environmental protection and critical areas. <br />2. Bulk and dimensional standards shall be coordinated with KCC Title 17, Toning and other <br />Kittitas County development standards to protect the natural character of the shoreline and <br />ensure no net loss of shoreline ecological functions and processes consistent with the <br />purpose of the environment designation. ln the event the provisions of this Program <br />conflict with provisions of federal, state or Kittitas County regulations, the provision that is <br />more protective of shoreline resources shall prevail, when consistent with SMA policy. <br />3. No new structures within the shoreline shall exceed a height of thirty-five (35) feet above <br />average grade level, except as provided herein. <br />4. Proposals for new or expanded commercial, multi-family or mixed;use structures <br />exceeding the thirty-five (35) foot building height limitation shall only be allowed with a <br />Shoreline Variance where the Administrator finds the following standards are met: <br />a. The proposed building shall not obstruct the view of the water for a substantial <br />number of residential buildings located with a view of the adjoining shoreline. <br />b. The applicant shall provide a view analysis identifying the properties and structures <br />located within the view corridor for that shoreline demonstrating the level of <br />obstruction represented by the proposed structure for each affected property. <br />c. The view corridor shall include residential buildings located outside of the shoreline <br />area if it can be clearly demonstrated that the property has significant water views. <br />d. To ins{+re-ellsuC_that the analysis is cumulative in nature, it shall include vacant <br />existing parcels of record as well as existing structures. Vacant parcels of record shall <br />be assumed to be developed with structures complying with the thirty-five (35) foot <br />height limitation.
