From:Chris Collins <br />To:Kelly Bacon (CD) <br />Subject:Proposed additional development in Suncadia <br />Date:Monday, February 28, 2022 3:52:54 PM <br />CAUTION: This email originated from outside the Kittitas County network. Do not click <br />links, open attachments, fulfill requests, or follow guidance unless you recognize the sender <br />and have verified the content is safe. <br /> <br />I am an owner in Suncadia and would like to be certain that the Kittitas County <br />planners and commissioners are aware of my elevated concerns regarding the rapid <br />growth inside Suncadia. <br />Of most concern is the lack of safety we are now feeling with only 1 exit from the <br />community (which now has more that 1900 housing units completed) out the main <br />gate onto Bullfrog road. Contractors are the only ones with access to the <br />Bullfrog/Firehouse gate. Residents are not. In the event of a natural disaster (most <br />likely fire) many people will be trapped. The proposed continued development is <br />expanding out toward 903 and there should be a gate, which allows access to ALL <br />Suncadia owners, out that way. If the developer is concerned about security, they <br />need to build a staffed gatehouse. There used to be a way to exit onto Morel Road, <br />but there is now a "weave" of concrete blocks effectively closing off that exit. I have <br />been told "our patrol staff will open the locked gates in case of an emergency", but <br />myself and many others do not feel that is enough assurance to rest easy. Disasters <br />don't happen on a schedule. <br />Of lesser urgency, but just as important, is that I would humbly ask the County to <br />review how the developer is complying with the "Amended And Restated <br />Development Agreement By And Between Kittitas County, Washington, Suncadia <br />LLC Relating To The Development Commonly Known As Suncadia Master Planned <br />Resort", recorded 4/16/2009. Starting on page 69 is Exhibit F-1, which has many <br />conditions. I would ask that special attention be given to the compliance items listed <br />in B (Natural Environment), C (Built Environment, especially C-57-61 on housing), E <br />and F. There are literally dozens of items that are not being complied with. <br />Please address these with the Developer (and ideally us "public") prior to issuing any <br />more plat permits. <br />Respectfully- <br />Chris Collins <br />Index #38
