The <br />applicants are wanting to remove the development rights from 10 parcels and place the <br />parcels in a conservation easement to protect the land in perpetuity. The subject <br />property is located off State Highway 970 approximately 1.5 miles northwest of the <br />intersection of State Highway 970 & State Highway 10 in Kittitas County. The 10 <br />parcels total 11.44 acres and are covered wholly or partially by floodplain. Per <br />KCC17.13.020 frequently flooded areas are eligible to be a sending site. After review <br />of the application materials and a site visit, staff have determined that the parcels <br />qualify for the transfer of development rights. When signed and recorded, the TDR <br />conservation easement will create 10 development right certificates. The conservation <br />easement is before you. <br /> <br /> <br />INTERACTION: CDS, Board of County Commissioners <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS: Conservation Easement for Williamson Transfer of Development Rights (TD-24- <br />00004). <br /> <br />STAFF <br />RECOMMENDATION: CDS staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the <br />conservation easement for the Williamson Transfer of Development Rights (TD-24- <br />00004). <br /> <br />HANLDING: Presentation to the Board by Kittitas County Community Development Services. <br /> <br /> <br />RESPONSIBLE STAFF: Bradley Gasawski, Community Development Services Planner I
