Driveway access permits shall be issued only in compliance with this chapter, and the <br />conditions for approval of the Kittitas County Access Permit. <br />B. In no event shall an access be allowed or permitted if it is detrimental to public health, <br />welfare, and safety. <br />C.

The property owner will be sent written notice of any illegal access location, or use. The <br />owner will be given 10 days to respond to notification of pending actions. After 10 days,
