Dunford PUD Staging Plan
MAR 1 6 2018
Kittitas County CDS
The following is the Staging plan for the Dunford PUD RZ-07-00008:
This Staging plan describes the timing and/or sequence of the construction for all the elements of
the Dunford PUD RZ-07-00008 (the Project) as provided for in KCC 17.36 and the associated
SEP A document. This Staging plan has been developed for the approval process of the Final
Development Plan for the Project by Kittitas County.
This Staging Plan is the best-case scenario for the Project. The actual time line for the approval
process is unknown, as the time line will vary depending on this approval process and approvals
outside of the Kittitas County process, such as Washington State Department of Transportation
approvals. In addition, the development and construction Stages of the Project will vary
depending on market conditions, weather, financing, and other unforeseen impacts outside of the
Applicant's ability to control. The Staging plan and time line provided herein may be accelerated
or delayed depending on known and unknown factors.
It is planned to construct one division per building season but as stated above the construction of
various divisions may be accelerated, slowed or developed or proceed in a different order as said
development maybe affected by factors contained in this Staging Plan. The Project is projected
to be completed within 20 years.
The Project will be developed in multiple Stages.
Stage 1 will include the continued approval process through the county and other state agency's
including but limited to the Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State
Department of Health, Kittitas County Public Works, Kittitas County Health Department and the
Washington State Department of Ecology. As required by other jurisdiction's having authority
this project may be modified to meet the requirements of said authorities. In addition, upon
Attachment C
approval for the Final Development Plan, the four-lot short plat associated with this PUD will be
completed and filed with the Kittitas County Auditor's Office.
Stage 2 will include logging as required for the road right of way and may include logging of
building sites and complete fire wise activity in parts of the development.
Stage 3 will include, but not be limited to, the construction of the domestic water system, the
intersection of the internal road system with State Highway 97, the construction of a portion the
internal road system and the construction of the dry utilities as required.
Stage 4 will include the construction of a portion of the recreational facilities possibly including
but not limited to trails, barns, arenas, recreational center, model home and sales office.
Stage 5 will include the final platting, development and sale of Lots 1-5 and 58-65 including the
associated construction requirements including but not limited to road construction, storm water
construction, dry and wet utilities, and additional recreational facilitates.
Stage 6 will include the final platting, development and sale of Lots 6-9 and 55-57 including the
associated construction requirements including but not limited to road construction, storm water
construction, dry and wet utilities, and additional recreational facilitates.
Stage 7 will include the final platting, development and sale of Lots 10-13 and 52-56 including
the associated construction requirements including but not limited to road construction, storm
water construction, dry and wet utilities, and additional recreational facilitates.
Stage 8 will include the final platting, development and sale of Lots 14-17 and 48-51 including
the associated construction requirements including but not limited to road construction, storm
water construction, dry and wet utilities, and additional recreational facilitates.
Attachment C
Stage 9 will include the final platting, development and sale of Lots 18-22 and 45-50 including
the associated construction requirements including but not limited to road construction, storm
water construction, dry and wet utilities, and additional recreational facilitates.
Stage 10 will include the final platting, development and sale of Lots 23-26 and 41-44 including
the associated construction requirements including but not limited to road construction, storm
water construction, dry and wet utilities, and additional recreational facilitates.
Stage 11 will include the final platting, development and sale of Lots 27-31 and 40 including the
associated construction requirements including but not limited to road construction, storm water
construction, dry and wet utilities, and additional recreational facilitates.
Stage 12 will include the final platting, development and sale of Lots 32-34 and 38-39 including
the associated construction requirements in.eluding but not limited to road construction, storm
water construction, dry and wet utilities, and additional recreational facilitates.
Stage 13 will include the final platting, development and sale of Lots 35-37 including the
associated construction requirements including but not limited to road construction, storm water
construction, dry and wet utilities, and additional recreational facilitates.
Notes Affecting Staging Plan:
1. Construction of the model home, community building which will operate as the
construction management office and a sales center, recreational facilities along with
agriculture and equestrian buildings may proceed any stage. If said facilities are built
prior to the completion of the access occupancy permits for these facilities will be issued
upon their completion.
2. Amenity and recreation facility construction and operation, including indoor and outdoor
facilities, if built, may be built and operated during the construction of any Stage and
receive occupancy permits upon completion.
3. Recreation and fanning use of the property will continue during all Stages.
Attachment C
4. Building Permits and home construction may proceed during the construction of a Stage
and prior to final plating or bonding of any stage with Occupancy Permits for said home
construction issued upon and simultaneously with final plating or bonding of said
division.
5. The project may be developed over a period of 20 years with a possible five-year
extension. It is the Project's goal to be complete within a twelve-year period but as has
been experienced during previous years, political, environmental, economic, and
development cycles may increase or decrease the development period of the Project.
Therefore, the stages and the develop ment period may be slowed or accelerated as
circwnstances requires or allow.
6. Market and/or weather or seasonal conditions may impact the rate of development. The
Project may be accelerated if approvals and conditions allow for said acceleration.
7. The Project may be slowed if approvals, market conditions and/or other conditions cause
said slowing.
8. Indoor and or Outdoor Recreation Facilities may be constructed and operated during any
of the phases.
9. The land within the Open Space tracts, Ranch Land tracts and areas that are not being
actively developed as home sites may continue to evolve as recreation interests change
over the life of the project.
10. If approvals occur later than planned or if other actions or conditions delay development
of the Project the entire Project may be delayed and the development shall be extended.
11. The progress of the development of items that include but are not limited to utilities, the
transportation corridor and platting delays may accelerate or delay the development of the
parcels.
12. The Project is designed in such a manner that each Stage may follow the proceeding
Stage but Stages may be constructed simultaneously and at sometjmes out of order.
Infrastructure may be constructed beyond the current Stage that is under construction.
