ANALYSIS
FINDING
B.1
B.2 On-site stormwater management that conforms to the specifications of the Stormwater Management
Manual for Eastern Washington (2004) is required of this development. A conceptual stormwater plan was
submitted with the preliminary development plan showing potential locations for stormwater
systems. Structures of stormwater systems shall not be placed within identified wetlands or in areas where
cultural resources are known to exist. Stormwater systems shall be designed to store stormwater generated
by a 24-hour, 25-year storm event. Stormwater system designs shall be prepared and stamped by a civil
engineer licensed in the State of Washington. The final stormwater system design and locations shall be
presented to Public Works and approved by the County Engineer prior to final approval. The stormwater
system construction shall be certified by a licensed engineer. The certification shall be included with the
road certification and is required prior to the issuance of a building permit. Road and site construction shall
not begin prior to stormwater system design approval.
Conceptual layout provided in exhibits 3 and 4 appear to meet the
requirements in relation to location restriction (ie no wetland or
cultural resource areas). The applicant states that they will work with
the appropriate authorities upon approval to meet the standards
required. Detailed plan will be submitted at final

buffers shall be shown on the face of the final development plat and on the final development plan.
Exhibits 3 and 4 demonstrate the locations of the four wetlands noted.
Stream A is described in the critical areas report (exhibit 7) as running
north through Wetlands A and B, but is not indicated on the site plans
submitted. Final plat and development plan will require locations and
any associated buffers to wetlands and streams.
Satisfied: Stream A
travels through the
center of B and A.
Buffers for both
wetlands are displayed
on the final
development map,
which exceed the
stream A buffer
requirement.
B.5 Wetlands B, C, and D: Wetlands B, C, and D, and associated buffer areas of at least 20 feet (KCC
17A.04.020), shall be located within Open Space tracts.
Associated buffer areas of at least 20 feet shall be located within Open
Space tracts within the Dunford PUD. See attached critical areas
report (exhibit 7).
Satisfied
B.6 Wetland A: Wetland A is located near the proposed access road from US 97. The applicant has indicated
that road construction may result in wetland impacts. Kittitas County requires, to the extent practical, a
zero net loss of wetlands (KCC 17A.04.015). In the event that disturbance to Wetland A cannot be
avoided: a) disturbed areas shall be replaced at a ratio of 1.5 to 1, in accordance with KCC 17A.04.050; b)
remaining undisturbed areas of Wetland A and its buffer shall be placed in an Open Space tract; and c)
prior to ground disturbance, a Wetland Mitigation Plan, showing areas of wetland disturbance and creation
shall be submitted to Community Development Services for review and approval in consultation with
Washington State Departments of Ecology and Fish and Wildlife. Prior to final development plan
approval, all necessary wetland replacement and features shall be constructed according to the Wetland
Exhibit 7 (critical areas report) states a general recommended
buffer of 20 feet for Wetland A. Wetland A, according to exhibits 3
and 4, does not rest in the open space area indicated with blue
hatch as required. The applicant indicated that road construction
could impact wetland areas. No documentation of potential impacts
or Wetland Mitigation Plan was submitted. The applicant
expressed that this will be submitted for final platting.

Mitigation Plan.
B.7 Future Residential Lot Configuration: Future residential lot configuration shall be designed to
minimize indirect impacts to wetlands. Indirect impacts would include changes in quantity or
quality of ground or surface water flows feeding the wetlands, noise or light glare at night,
removal or corridors used by wildlife to access the wetlands, and stormwater influences.
The applicant states that “Dunford Planned Unit Development will
design the residential lots in accordance to not impact identified
wetlands.” This will need to be demonstrated through the Wetland
Mitigation Plan before final platting. A Wetland Mitigation Plan
must be submitted at final plat.
Satisfied
B.8 The three archaeological sites located during the course of the Reiss-Landreau Research cultural
resources survey (known as the Zuke Spring Site, the Zuke Farmstead, and the Bettas Road Homestead)
have the potential for eligibility to the National Register of Historic places, and shall be avoided in all
work plans, or be evaluated for significance, and mitigated appropriately prior to construction.
The three archaeological sites are identified within a black hatch
area in exhibits 3 and 4 in an area of approximately 6.8 acres. This
area overlaps Wetlands A and B along its western border. The
applicant indicates a minimum of 4 parking spots within the
outlined area with no additional construction proposed. This black
hatch area should overlay the blue hatch designation indicating
ownership of the Ranch on Swauk Creek LLC.
Satisfied: All
historical/archeological
sites are expressed in
open space and will not
be part of ay
development.
B.9 The Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation identified the McCallum family cemetery as

cemetery consists of one acre deeded forever.” A one acre Open Space tract containing the historic
cemetery shall be placed on the final development plan. Historic cemeteries are protected from damage
under Washington law.
Exhibits 3 and 4 indicate a 1 acre tract to accommodate this
requirement. The tract is placed within the yellow hatch area,
which does not appear to be included in the open space reserved
for ownership by the Ranch on Swauk Creek LLC (indicated by
the blue hatch area on exhibits 3 and 4)
Satisfied: All
historical/archeological
sites are expressed in
open space and will not
be part of any
development.

professional archaeologist shall be called, and work shall stop until the material is evaluated.
Upon inadvertent discovery of human or unknown remains:
a. The appropriate authorities such as the county sheriff and coroner shall be contacted
immediately as is required when human remains are discovered;
b. The State of Washington DAHP and local tribal groups, if the burials are deemed Native
American, shall be called for consultation;
c. Arrangements shall be made as quickly as possible to identify the affected area, so that
work can continue in other areas of the project. It is anticipated that delays will only
impinge on the areas agreed to by the consulting parties; and
d. Should human remains be located, decisions about protection and/or evaluation should be
made with the appropriate authorities. This procedure should be adequate to allow for
minimal project delays. However, if human remains are located, contingencies, such as an
alteration in project design, may be necessary.
The applicant agrees to provide any contractor with requirements a
through d of this section to ensure the appropriate steps are
followed upon inadvertent discovery of cultural resources or
human or unknown remains.

subdivided or altered. These tracts shall be labeled “Open Space.” Open space tracts shall be
reserved for: habitat protection; cultural resource protection; continued agricultural use; passive
recreation; and stormwater facilities, subject to the approved Stormwater Management Plan. All
open space tracts shall be identified on the face of the final plan and on the final development plan.
Dunford Planned Unit Development will identify and label the
open space tracts appropriately and in phases consistent with other
approved planned unit developments. Wetland areas associated
with the open space area will be identified. Archaeological areas
are identified within the report on file with Kittitas County. There
will be no identifications of these archaeological areas on the open
space maps due to the possibility of looting and other
circumstances.
Satisfied:
B.23 Open Space Tract Ownership and Maintenance: Open space tracts shall be jointly owned and
maintained by the developer, legally responsible owner, homeowner’s association or other legal entity
made up of all benefited property owners.
Exhibits 3 and 4 indicate 2 primary areas of open space, one indicated
