Easton Ridge Land Cornpany has reached out to your representatives on <br />seveml occasiot'ls, met with them, provided adequate responses to evel'y specific grievance raised, <br />and will be providing significant benefit to the district and its citizens. We were taken aback by <br />the comments presented at the open record hearing and are interested in hearing and addressing <br />them. <br />Easton Ridge Land Cornpany was particularly surprised by the comments of one Kittitas County <br />Fire District #3 Commissioner at the open record hearing, in part, because of the attached letter to <br />you dated March 7,2018, in which Easton Ridge Land Company specifically asked for "an outline <br />of your expectations and what your expected increased needs will be." No response including such <br />an outline was ever received. Instead, it took repeated calls for our representative to finally get a <br />response from Fire Chief Jensen. <br />It was surprising, therefore, to hear at the open record hearing, for the first time, that ( l) you have <br />never heard from Easton Ridge Land Company, and (2) your needs have not been met. <br />Easton Ridge Land Company's representative, Jerry Martens, met with Fire Chief Jensen on <br />May 24,2019, regarding the expectations of Fire District #3. In this meeting, Fire Chiel Jensen <br />explained that, as a volunteer fire department, resources were limited and there were concerns for <br />the District's ability to provide service for Marian Meadows. Our Representative explained that <br />ERLC heard these concerns very early in the project and that approvals received addressed these <br />concerns with the inclusion of the following: <br />l, (+li) -1,{l-ltlll .
