Any private road serving as access to five lots or more shall file a maintenance agreement <br />appurtenant to all the property owners having a vested interest in the private road prior to <br />recording the final plat with the Kittitas County auditor's office with a copy to be provided to the <br />Kittitas County Building Department and Kittitas County Public Works. Reference the auditor's file <br />number on the plat. The maintenance and upgrading agreement shall provide for a funding <br />mechanism that provides for road maintenance of private roads and associated parking areas by <br />a capable and legally responsible owner, homeowners' association or other legal entity made up <br />of all benefited property owners. The term "benefited property owners" shall include the owners <br />of record of all properties with frontage, including access rights, on the private road or otherwise <br />have legal access, whether constructed or not, to the private road. <br />Title 12 Kittitas County Code I Draft No. 5 — Working Draft forAdoption 1011212023 <br />41 <br />
