11.5. 11.6. 11.4.2. County Response: Staff provided the comments to the appticant. Washington Department of Archeotogy and Historic Preservation: "Our statewide predictive modet indicates that there is a moderate to high probability of encountering cultural resources within the proposed project area. Further, the scate of the proposed ground disturbing actions would destroy any archaeotogicat resources present. ldentification during construction is not a recommended detection method because inadvertent discoveries often result in costly construction detays and damage to the resource. Therefore, we recommend a professionaI archaeological survey of the project area be conducted and a report be produced prior to ground disturbing activities. This report shoutd meet DAHP's Standards for CutturaI Resource Reporting. 11.5.1. We atso recommend that any historic buitdings or structures (45 years in age or otder) located within the project area are evaluated for etigibitity for tisting in the Nationat Register of Historic Places on Historic Property lnventory (HPl)forms. We highty encourage the SEPA tead agency to ensure that these evaluations are written by a cultural resource professionaI meeting the SOI Professionat Quatification Standards in ArchitecturaI History." '11.5.2. Appticant Response: See appticants' response under the Confederated Tribes of the Cotvitte Reservation. 11.5.3. County Response: The SEPA Determination has been conditioned to inctude an IDP and a cutturaI resource study. Washinglon Department of Fish and Witdtife: "WDFW recommends that att streams and their riparian management zones or buffers be identified on the ptat maps; KCC 17A.04.030 identifies a 50' buffer on Ns streams. We also request that prior to any road building or grading near the streams, you contact WDFW to determine if a Hydrautic Project Approvat (HPA) is required. 1 1.6.1. WDFW is generally supportive of the Northern (21 parcets) and North-Centrat (171934') parcets being designated and signed as unbuitdabte criticat areas to mitigate for the loss of habitat i n the South (20202) a nd South-Centra[ (1 2065) parcels. lf the Recreationat Open Space areas are to be designated as mitigation for the impacts to Priority Habitats and Species associated with the high density Planned Unit Development, motorized recreationat uses shoutd be better understood. WDFW recommends formaI recognition of these properties as Native Growth Protection Areas (KCC 174.01 .090.2) such that the protection measures are forma[[y recorded on the ptats and titles and can be enforced as a permanent mitigation measure. 11 .6.2. We understand there are existing uses and estabtished traits throughout the properties. The tocations and timing of motorized use witt have varying effects on some priority species and WDFW requests the opportunity to work cottaboratively with the proponents on a recreation management ptan to hetp address and mitigate these concerns. A recreation management ptan for this area shoutd inctude: 11.6.2.1. An inventory of existing traits and their primary use (motorized or non- motorized). 11.6.2.2. Anatysis of existing trail inventoryto determine if the traits are compatibte with surrounding land use and mitigation needs for the protection of FWHCAS. 1 1 .6.2.3. lnstattation of signs atong traits, designating the appropriate uses. Signs shoutd also be instatted atong the property boundary to ensure al[ motorized traiI users are discouraged from driving onto nearby adjacent tands which restrict motorized uses. 11.6.2.4. Comptete annuaI monitoring and reporting of the trait network and adaptivety manage the area to ensure no net gain in overall trait area within the designated criticaI area." 11.6.3. Appticant Response: We appreciated the on-site meeting with Jennifer on May 23rd of this year wherein we discussed various points of interest throughout the property inctuding Ridgecrest Road, the Pinetoch Sun entrance, Doubte O Ranch Road, the Baker's
