PUBLIC HEARING PALOMINO FIELDS CDS
At 2:00 p.m. CHAIRMAN O’BRIEN opened a Public Hearing to consider a
proposed Development Agreement to allow Preliminary Plat, Palomino
Fields, to receive Final Plat review in five separate phases. The
approved plat is located north of Dry Creek Road and west of Reecer
Creek Road between Bender and Bowers Roads.
DOC HANSEN, PLANNING OFFICIAL/INTERIM CDS DIRECTOR reviewed a Staff
Report which provided general information on the proposal;
administrative review; environmental review; public comments; and
Staff recommendations with proposed conditions of approval. He
referenced the requirements from the Eastern Washington Storm Water
Manual.
JAMES CARMODY, REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT addressed questions and
concerns expressed by the Board. He said a Development Agreement is
a recorded document and runs with the land, so it is binding for any
subsequent owners. He provided information relating to storm water
and how it has to be retained onsite. He reviewed the phasing
process; how it would be beneficial to the County; and how the
Development Agreement was logical and compliant with regulations.
THERE BEING NO ONE REQUESTING TO TESTIFY, THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THE
HEARING WAS CLOSED.
PAT DENEEN, APPLICANT said he had previously met with Brenda Larsen,
the previous Fire Marshal, and confirmed that they would be
installing sprinklers inside each home. Since they were installing a
Group A water system, it did not require fire hydrants however, he
noted there was a hydrant located across the street. CHAD BALA,
TERRA DESIGN GROUP, explained the road access points.
COMMISSIONER JEWELL asked that Staff get approval by the Prosecutors
office on the proposed Development Agreement and Resolution.
