plan. Subdivision lot sales may precede other elements of the development upon final plat
approval;
Hyak Planned Unit Development Staging Plan & Construction Sequencing:
As originally submitted by Pat Deneen on March 12th, 1993 the Hyak Planned Unit Development
Amendment application contained a Staging Plan, see Exhibit_5. During the Kittitas County
approval process there were no modifications requested by the county or made by applicant, Pat
Deneen. Since that time Pat Deneen has finalized Division 1 of the Hyak PUD. Since that time,
Terra Design Group has processed two other final development plans with regards to Planned
Unit Developments that have gone through lengthy review with corrections. Therefore the Hyak
Amended Planned Unit Development Final Development Plan will adopt the Staging Plan along
with incorporating improved phasing as a result of those previous discussions and requirements
on other planned unit developments, as required by Kittitas County with the original application.
The submittal of the Staging Plan, as attached as Exhibit_5, anticipates delays in the approval
process and allows for the modification of the timing of the construction of the Hyak Planned
Unit Development. Furthermore the Staging and Phasing plan described a development period of
20 plus years. This is also based on the timing of the completed approval process, including the
submitted final development plan and other items outside of the Applicants control that may
delay the construction of the project.
To graphically show the Hyak Amended Planned Unit Development Staging/phasing Plan, a table
identifying the various parcels and number of units have been included, a copy of which is
attached for reference as Exhibit_S. This table correlates to the Final Development plan map see
Exhibit 4.
Kittitas Countv Code Section 17.36.040 2
2. A map or maps of the site drawn at a scale no smaller than one hundred (100) feet to one
(1) inch showing the following:

public utilities extensions;
b. Arrangement of all buildings, which shall be identified by type;
c. Preliminary building plans including floor plans and exterior design and/or elevation
views;
d. Location and number of off-street parking areas including type and estimated cost of
surfacing;
e. The location and dimensions of roads and driveways including type and estimated cost of
surfacing and road maintenance plans;
f. The location and total area of common open spaces;
g. Proposed location of fire protection facilities;
h. Proposed storm drainage plan;

One all-inclusive map as identified above will be provided with this submittal, a reduced copy of
which is attached hereto as Exhibit_ 4. Additional maps at a reduced scale will be attached to this
document to further identify and discuss the Hyak Final Development Plan.
The Hyak Development Plan Map will show the preliminary approved density along with
Division 1 by the County. This Development Plan Map, a copy of which is attached hereto in
reduced size for reference as Exhibit_ 4, consists of an architectural type of drawing (not a
preliminary plat map) that shows all existing and conceptual locations of lots, roads , open space ,
etc. Consistent with other approvals for PUD Final Development Plans, this type of drawing will
be sufficient for the final development plan approval for the future review and approval of final
plats (individual divisions within each parcel) that are consistent with the Hyak Amended PUD
Final Development Plan.
a. Preliminar lans includin site
utilities:
As previously agreed with other final development plans that have been approved (Evergreen
Ridge , Ranch On Swauk Creek, & Big Creek P.U.D's), the preliminary engineering road plans,
site grading, road improvements and drainage will be submitted at the final platting stage through
cross sections of the roads serving each stage and division.
Roads will be built to the Kittitas County Public and Private Road Standards (2005 Road
Standards). Road Cross Sections, as provided in the Kittitas County Road Standards (2005 Road
Standards) copies of which are attached for reference as Exhibit_ 11.
Water is provided for by the Snoqualmie Pass Utility District, a copy of which is attached hereto
in reduced size for reference as Exhibit_ 7 reflecting the infrastructure already installed
throughout the project site. Please also see large-scale water and sewer maps.
Sewer is provided for by the Snoqualmie Pass Utility District, a copy of which is attached hereto
in reduced size for reference as Exhibit_ 8 reflecting the infrastructure already installed

Kittitas County Public Utility District or Puget Sound Energy will provide power.
All other dry utilities will be privately owned.
b. Arran ement of all buildin s . which shall be identified b t e :
The arrangement of buildings and building type on each parcel will be shown via a small square
within the parcels or otherwise noted on the Development Plan Map. There will also be a
generalized lot layout map reflecting a structure on a specific lot as a guideline, see Exhibit's_ 4 &
9.
The Hyak Planned Unit Development does hereby adopt, by reference, the preliminary building
plans submitted and approved for the Ranch On Swauk Creek, Evergreen Ridge, & Big Creek
Planned Unit Developments and have attached additional preliminary building plans, a copy of
which in a smaller size is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.
d. Location and number of off-street arkino-areas includin t e and estimated cost of surfacing:
The location of off street parking is shown on the Development Plan Map see Exhibit 4. As
required there will be a minimum of two off street parking spaces, along with the condominiums
and commercial areas, which will have underground and possible aboveground, parking with an
approximate total of 710 parking spots. Driveways will be gravel with a surfacing cost estimated
to $.75 per square foot. A specific description of parking is provided on Exhibit_6 and provided
within the "Parking Tables" as shown within Exhibit_ 4.
e. The location and dimensions ofroads and driveways includin o
surfacin and road maintenance lans:
e and estimated cost of
The location of roads and driveways are shown on the Development Plan Map, see Exhibit_ 4,
with specifications provided through the cross sections as attached hereto as Exhibit_l l. The road
cross sections are provided for all roads, meets the intent of this Final Development Plan
requirement. Final plats will, as required by Kittitas County Code, provide exact and specific
designs and information of roads. At the time of building permits, location and dimensions of
driveways will be located and approved by Kittitas County as the county approves access permits.
Furthermore the applicant, early on in this process worked with the Local RID to build the
existing roads that area already serving the project site. Roadway surfacing is estimated to cost an
estimated $1.95 per square foot. Please note that existing roads already serve the project areas
(Hyak Drive, Keechelus Drive, & Rampart Drive).
The location of the common open space is shown on the Landscaping and Vegetation Map
already on file with Kittitas County, titled "Landscaping and Vegetation Map". Furthermore the
open space areas have been revised, regarding actual location and estimated acreage. See
Exhibit_ 4, which reflects open space within the vicinity of Parcels B, E, and F. Please note that
there may be the possibility of additional open space as the project develops out.
. Pro osed location of fire rotection facilities·
Within the Hyak Planned Unit Development each home will not be required to install frre
sprinklers but retain the option if desired. Fire hydrants maybe required within the expansion of
the Snoqualmie Pass Water System. In review of the Snoqualmie Pass Water Plan most if not all
water infrastructure (main lines, fire hydrants etc.) exists, see a copy of which is a smaller size
attached hereto as Exhibit_?. Currently the local fire district (Snoqualmie Fire District No. 51)
services this area and is located an estimated 1.93 miles from the Hyak Planned Unit
Development.
h. Pro osed storm draina e Ian:
Storm Drainage Plan: Upon approval of the Hyak Final Development Plan a storm water
pollution prevention plan will be submitted to the Washington State Department of Ecology for
review. This plan will implement the Best Management Practices of the Eastern Washington
Storm Water Manual addressing all storm water needs pertaining to the Hyak Final Development
Plan. A conceptual storm water drainage map is included with this submittal of the Hyak Final
Development Plan, a copy of which in a smaller size is attached hereto as Exhibit_ 4. Please note
the preliminary engineering road plans, site grading, road improvements and drainage will be
submitted at the final platting stage for review and approval serving each division within each
parcel.
