A RESOLUTION CREATING THE WILDLAND-URBAN INTERFACE MODIFICATION
CRITERIA ADVISORY COMMITTEE
WHEREAS, The International Wildland-Urban Interface Code is a model code that has been
adopted by Kittitas County and applies to areas where structures and other
human development meet or intermingle with undeveloped wildland or vegetative
fuels; and
WHEREAS, The International Wildland-Urban Interface Code is a supplement to adopted
building and fire codes, and is intended to establish minimum regulations for
safeguarding life and property from the intrusion of wildland fires and to prevent
structure fires from spreading to wildland fuels; and
WHEREAS, Section 105.1 of the International Wild land-Urban Interface Code allows the code
official to grant modifications for individual cases where enforcement of the strict
letter of the code is impractical, where the modification is in conformance with the
intent and purpose of the code, and where the modification does not lessen any
fire protection requirements or any degree of structural integrity; and
WHEREAS, The Kittitas County Board of Commissioners desires specific criteria for granting
such modifications to the International Wildland-Urban Interface Code; and
WHEREAS, On March 21, 2018 Kittitas County issued a press release requesting all
individuals interested in serving on a committee to develop such criteria submit
an application; and
WHEREAS, A number of applications were submitted and the Board of County
Commissioners considered the applications on May 29, 2018.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of County Commissioners creates the
Wildland-Urban Interface Modification Criteria Advisory Committee that shall be responsible for
developing specific criteria for granting modifications under Section 105.1 of the International
Wildland-Urban Interface Code; and
