Kittitas County Shoreline Master Program 4. Circulation planning shall include systems for pedestrian, bicycle and public transportation where appropriate. Circulation planning and projects should support existing and proposed shoreline uses that are consistent with this Master Program. 5. Transportation system route planning, acquisition, and design in the shoreline should provide space wherever possible, for compatible multiple uses such as utility lines, pedestrian shore access or view points, or recreational trails. 6. Transportation system plans and projects within shorelines should accommodate non-motorized traffic such as pedestrians, bicyclists, or equestrians. Space for such uses should be encouraged along roads on shorelines and should be considered when rights-of-way are being disposed of or abandoned. 7. Viewpoints, parking, trails and similar improvements should be considered for inclusion in transportation system projects in shoreline areas. 8. Public transportation routes should be located, designed, and maintained to provide safe enjoyment of adjacent shoreline areas. B. Requlations 1. Roads and railroads shall not be located within a designated shoreline except where it is necessary to cross a stream corridor, or where an existing use, development, topography, and other conditions preclude locations outside the shoreline. a. Construction of roadways across stream corridors shall be by the most direct route possible having the least impact to the stream corridor. b. Roadways that must run parallel to stream or wetland edges shall be along routes having the greatest possible distance from stream or wetland and the least impact to the corridor. c. Roadways within the stream corridor shall not hydrologically obstruct, cut-off, or isolate stream corridor features. 2. Material excavated from the roadway area to achieve the design grade shall be used as fill where necessary to maintain grade, or shall be transported outside the shoreline. 3. Necessary fill to elevate new roadways shall not impede the normalflow of floodwaters or cause displacement that would increase the elevation of flood waters such that it would cause properties not in the floodplain to be flood-prone. 4. Spoil, construction waste, and other debris shall not be used as road fill or buried within the shoreline. 5. Bridges and water crossing structures shall not constrict the stream channel or impede the flow of the ordinary high water, sediment, and woody debris. Chapter 6 March 7,2016 131
