Potential mitigations for this might include short and long-term fence/barrier construction to protect the property during and after construction and a review of the exact location of the proposed road edge with a focus on limiting negative impact to our property – particularly in the areas near our transformer and our barn. 2: Construction Equipment, Parking and Debris The area near our cabin/barn is a larger clearing and we find that people doing construction, hiking, hunting, etc. throw their debris, park their equipment, and generally make a mess. We already have a significant dust control issue in our barn with just light traffic on the current gravel road. The dust, noise and mess will increase exponentially during a construction effort of this size. Especially if we don’t plan-ahead and agree on an approach to resolve. Potential mitigations might include a temporary fence and agreed upon rules and instructions for contractors and their employees regarding noise, mess, parking, etc. 3: Runoff During a heavy rain, even the current gravel road becomes a stream that runs down the hill toward our barn. With less permeable road surface, we can expect that this runoff and the associated chance of erosion will increase, and that it could also impact water quality in our area. We would like to be assured that all relevant water-quality protective measures are adhered to, and to see and understand the mitigation plan related to potential runoff and erosion issues, including any inspection and oversight provided by the county for this project. 4: Cost and Maintenance It is our understanding that the Applicants (Robbie and Bonnie Cape) will be covering the cost of this driveway improvement effort and any future maintenance. We would not be willing to pay for this road improvement or any maintenance above our share of the cost to maintain the current gravel road. If there is any possibility of our being encumbered with additional costs either from the county, the applicant or other, we would like to know about it before this project moves forward. We do understand that the Capes are invested and interested in moving this project forward. Although we don’t have an interest in supporting the project financially, we are generally in support of our neighbors being able to improve and enjoy their Kittitas Country properties. We look forward to working with the Applicants (the Capes) and the County to ensure that we can mitigate the concerns that I have presented above and any others from our Alice Road and Peoh Point Neighbors. Let me know if you have any questions.
