On January 18, 1994, the <br />Kittitas County Board of Commissioners approved the Amended Hyak Planned <br />Unit Development Rezone (Resolution 94-12), which reduced the overall <br />approved density to 622 units consisting of 562 multi-family dwelling units and <br />60 single family units. This final development plan consists of a total of 392 units <br />mixed between 344 multi-family units and 48 single family units, on 34 acres <br />located in the southwest quarter Section 15, Township 22 North, Range 11 East, <br />WM, Kittitas County, WA. <br /> <br /> According to Kittitas County Code (KCC) 17.36.040, following approval of the <br />preliminary development plan by the county, the developer (owner) shall submit <br />a final development plan for approval by the Board. The final development plan <br />submittal shall be consistent with the process as outlined for final plat <br />development in KCC Chapter 16.20, which specifies that the Board shall <br />consider the plan at a public meeting (KCC 16.20.080). <br /> <br /> According to KCC 17.36.045(2), the Board shall approve final development <br />plans for the PUD, provided the conditions imposed on the preliminary PUD <br />approval have been satisfied. Staff has reviewed the final development plan, and <br />finds that the conditions imposed by Resolution 94-12 have either been met or <br />are on-going conditions to be met prior to final plat approval (see Hyak PUD <br />Amended Compliance Review Matrix).. Pursuant to KCC 17.36, the final <br />development plan has been reviewed by Kittitas County Community <br />Development Services for compliance with KCC 17.36 (at the time of project <br />preliminary approval) and Resolution 94-12 <br /> <br /> A closed record meeting was held on April 2, 2018 at 10:00 am before the Board <br />to consider approval of the Hyak PUD Final Development Plan. During this <br />meeting, the Board directed staff to discuss with the prosecuting attorney’s office <br />whether or not the County has the authority to deal with current mitigation needs <br />of the area by adding additional conditions to the Final Development Plan. The <br />prosecutor’s office stated there is the ability for the Board to place additional <br />conditions on the Hyak PUD Final Development Plan to deal with current <br />mitigation needs of the area. Based on this conversation, Community <br />Development and Public Works staff has prepared five (5) conditions for Board <br />
