ATTACHNIENT TO ROAD STANDARDS VARIANCE APPLICATION BY BEAU&KASSIDY SIIAIN Response To Item 2 Narrative Project Description:Parcel No.555235 consists of approximately five acres.A mobile home has been located on the property since the mid-1970s and has been continuously occupied since its placement.The property has been under the current family's ownership since 2017. The current owners have obtained a building permit from Kittitas County,and construction of a new residence on this property is presently underway.Upon completion of the new residence,the owners intend to occupy it as their home and remove the existing mobile home from the property.Following removal of the mobile home,the driveway currently serving that structure will be relocated approximately 75 feet to the northeast,while remaining entirely within the parcel boundaries. Because the property has long been used for residential purposes,and because the existing mobile home will be removed upon occupancy of the new residence,the project will not create an additional dwelling unit or increase the residential population of the parcel.Accordingly,no increase in traffic on the road is anticipated. Response to space reason for the variance request:There is an existing access point on the property that has been in use since the mid-1970s.Upon completion of construction of the new residence,the existing mobile home will be removed,and the current occupants will relocate into the new home.As a result,the project will not create an additional residence,add occupants,or increase traffic on the road. This property was among the first parcels developed along this road in the 1970s and has been continuously occupied since that time.The applicant is not proposing any new or expanded use that would increase traffic.In addition,the other properties served by this road have already been developed, and no future development is anticipated to rely upon this access road. Accordingly,because the access has existed and been used continuously since the mid-1970s,and because the proposed project will not increase traffic or create additional road impacts,a road certification should not be required as a condition of obtaining an access permit for this existing access. Information:This application also includes parcel information sheets from the Assessor's website for each residence that uses this road for access.These materials are provided to demonstrate that all lots served by the road have already been developed,and that each obtains access from this same road.
