Page 5 of 6 Lisa Kendall Response: This comment appears to be in regards to the 47 Degrees North project within the City of Cle Elum Urban Growth Area on the south side of Bullfrog Road and not specific to this long plat application. That project will have its own traffic mitigation requirements. In regards to Bullfrog Road adjacent to Suncadia Resort, traffic impacts as a result by the Master Planned Resort (MPR) continue to remain considerably lower than the initial estimates in the MPR-Final Environmental Impact Statement. Suncadia is in the process of updating Traffic Monitoring Reports in collaboration with Kittitas County. Susan Childers and Alan Feldberg Response: Natural flora and fauna are an essential back-bone of Suncadia. Of the 6,400 resort acres, over 80% is to remain un-disturbed open space for natural flora and fauna. Suncadia’s design review covenants, conditions, and restrictions are in-place to further protect open space around each development and built structure. Access points to the Suncadia Resort were identified during the environmental impact statement and entitlement process for the Development Agreement. All access points identified and conveyed in the Development Agreement with Kittitas County have been provided with multiple points of access for emergency personnel. Suncadia Resort partakes in continual discussions and mitigation efforts with emergency and fire officials on access and egress to the resort. Emergency personnel have 24 hours per day, 365 days per year access and egress at all approved access points to the resort, including the Highway 903 intersection gate.

Colville Confederated Tribes – Aren Orsen Response: The Suncadia Resort property was extensively surveyed for cultural and historic sites during the environmental impact process culminating in the identification of sites as well as adoption of appropriate mitigation measures as set forth in Conditions of Approval C-21 – C-23 of Exhibit F to the Development Agreement with Kittitas County. Central Washington Anthropological Survey (CWAS) has been retained by Suncadia to perform archaeological subsurface testing in order to define actual site boundaries for this development. Subsurface testing will be completed by CWAS and recorded with the Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation prior to any disturbance in the vicinity of the sites. Suncadia is very sensitive to cultural resources and historic properties and intend to preserve, protect, and follow all applicable rules and regulations.
