Meeting was called to order at 1:30 P.M.
UPDATE ON BUILDING PERMIT ACTIVITY
Director Carlson stated his department is currently experiencing
500-60o increase in permit applications and inspections from
last year. A mild winter, the adoption of the Wildland Urban
Interface Appendix C and as well as some upcoming plats have
contributed to this increase. With that being said, Director
Carlson shared that hiring contract help this summer will be
needed. He will present proposed contracts at the next study
session.
DISCUSSION REGARDING SMP SETTLEMENT HEARING SCHEDULE
In the current Shoreline Master Plan Settlement, one of the
requests from the Yakima Nation was to have an optional joint
review process with state and county which would allow the
decision to get to Ecology more expedited. This optional joint
review would only require one public hearing which doesn't match
the Kittitas County code, which requires two public hearings.
Director Carlson asked the board if they would like to have one
of the public hearings as a closed record hearing. The board
would like to have both an open record public hearing.
DISCUSSION REGARDING IWUIC VARIANCE COMMITTEE
Director Carlson asked for direction from the board on how they
would like to proceed with the applicants for the IWUIC Variance
Committee. The board expressed that all 12 applicants were well
diverse and full capable of serving on the committee. Director
Carlson will present the board with a resolution to appoint
members at the next study session.
