Kittitas Community Development Services <br />Attention: Jamey Ayling <br />411 N Ruby St, Suite 2 <br />Ellensburg, WA 98926 <br />Re: Suncadia Development Agreement Extension <br />I am a Suncadia homeowner writing in response to the County's request for public <br />comment on the proposed extension of the Suncadia Development Agreement. I support <br />responsible and well -planned development. However, I believe it is premature to extend <br />the agreement when it appears the developer has not demonstrated full compliance with <br />its existing obligations. <br />The Development Agreement includes numerous commitments related to infrastructure <br />delivery, public amenities, environmental mitigation, and cost allocation. These <br />commitments were intended to protect residents, the public, and the County. To date, it is <br />not clear that all such obligations have been fully satisfied or independently verified. <br />Approving an extension without a documented compliance determination risks <br />transferring unresolved obligations to homeowners, future purchasers, or the County <br />itself. It also weakens the enforceability of development agreements generally by <br />signaling that compliance is optional. <br />Before any extension is considered, I respectfully request that the County require a <br />comprehensive written compliance review of the existing Development Agreement. That <br />review should document compliance status in detail and identify any outstanding <br />obligations that must be cured. <br />If the County elects to proceed with an extension process, it should be expressly <br />conditioned on independent verification of compliance, with no waiver of prior <br />noncompliance and with clear enforcement mechanisms for remaining obligations. This <br />approach supports transparency, accountability, and public trust. <br />07 <br />qev",�9 <br />
