SPECIAL MEETING PUBLIC HEARING CANCELLATION CDS
At 2:30 p.m. Chairman Osiadacz opened a Special Meeting to consider
cancelling the Critical Areas Ordinance Public Hearing scheduled for
December 6, 2018.
Dan Carlson, CDS Director said that based on input received the
Planning Commission recommended remanding the Critical Areas
Ordinance back to Staff. He said there is more work to be done prior
to it coming before the Board of County Commissioners, and noted
they need to affirm remanding it back to Staff. It was recommended
to cancel the Public Hearing that had been scheduled for Monday
December 10,2018 at 6:00 p.m.
Elizabeth Torrey, Department of Fish & Wildlife said what was being
proposed within the Critical Areas Ordinance was better than what
was currently in place and felt the Public Hearing should move
forward. She said they can offer technical assistance if needed.
Chairman Osiadacz said by remanding it back to Staff was not to stop
the process, but just to allow for a more thorough review. Mr.
Carlson noted the document needed to be completed by June 30, 2019.
Commissioner O’Brien moved to cancel the Public Hearing scheduled
for December 10, 2018 at 6:00 p.m. for the Critical Areas Ordinance
and to remand it back to Staff for further review. Commissioner
Wright seconded. Motion carried 3-0. It was noted that CDS would
prepare a Press Release and the Commissioner’s Facebook page would
be updated to notify the public.
Meeting adjourned at 2:46 p.m. KITTITAS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CLERK OF THE BOARD KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON
