x 17". There shall be no less than four (4) signs for each wetland, erected clearly and legibly centered along each edge of the wetland boundary. The signs shall identify the area as a critical area and wildlife migration protection zone. Signs shall be maintained by the developer until such time that an HOA or similar governing authority assumes responsibility. These critical areas shall be identified in any CC&R documents as protected zones in perpetuity. These actions shall be completed prior to final plat approval. 40.4 Any encroachment into wetland buffer areas as established above for the purposes of access shall adhere to the mitigation ratios outlined in KCC 17A.04.050 for Wetlands A, B and C and KCC 1713.05.020I for Wetland D. Any such encroachment shall require a mitigation plan submitted to CDS prior to final plat approval. 41. Cultural Resources: 41.1 A Cultural Resource Survey shall be conducted by a professional archeological surveyor licensed in the State of Washington. This study shall include the development area directly adjacent to the Yakima River Shoreline jurisdiction. The results of this study shall be submitted to CDS, DAHP and the Yakima Nation for review. The development plan shall be adjusted where necessary to protect Cultural Resources, should the survey result in the discovery of resources. Any necessary adjustment to the proposed development shall not become inconsistent with the density and development regulation outlined in KCC 16.09 Cluster Platting, Conservation and Agriculture Platting, and shall comply with all conditions associated with an approval of this application. 41.2 Should ground disturbing or other activities related to the proposed subdivision result in the inadvertent discovery of cultural or archaeological materials, work shall be stopped in the immediate area and contact be made with the Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP). Work shall remain suspended until the find is assessed and appropriate consultation is conducted. Should human remains be inadvertently discovered, as dictated by Washington State RCW 27.44.055, work shall be immediately halted in the area and contact made with the coroner and local law enforcement in the most expeditious manner possible. 42. Regarding the buffer area for the lots located along the Yakima River, the Applicant shall be required to prepare and execute any and all required documents, said document's form and content to be acceptable to both the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Kittitas County, that will ensure that the buffer area for all waterfront lots is not developed in any way and that multiple, individual, access points for all lots are to be prohibited and that the shoreline is to be kept in its natural state. There are many ways this can be achieved. Any document requiring this prohibition of use shall be recorded and may be enforced by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife and/or Kittitas County. This does not preclude the Applicant, the Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Kittitas County from coming to an agreement limiting, if not prohibiting, the number of river access points for the river lots and preserving the riverfront in its natural condition. In the event mutual agreement cannot be reached, the Hearing Examiner will require that the buffer areas be removed from the lot legal description, that the buffer area be determined to be open space, and that there be a prohibition of any development, of any kind, within that open space.
