BOCC AGENDA SESSION
STAFF REPORT
BOCC AGENDA SESSION DATE: December 20, 2022
ACTION REQUESTED: BOCC Signature of mylar granting final approval for the Forest Ridge Ph. 5 Plat
(LPF-22-00007 & LP-08-00014)
BACKGROUND: The Forest Ridge Preliminary Plat was approved on December 28, 2010 through
Resolution 2010-137 (LP-08-00014). This proposal (Forest Ridge Ph. 5) is for
seventy-seven (77) lots and ten (10) open space tracts on eight (8) parcels (962331,
962332, 962334, 962335, 962337, 962338, 962152 and 962153). The subject
property is currently zoned Forest & Range but was zoned Rural 5 at the time of plat
submittal and this plat was done under a performance-based cluster plat that can be
seen in the 2008 zoning & subdivision codes. The original proposal had 9 phases but
that has been scaled back to 5. The property is located just northeast of the City of
Cle Elum with most of the lots off Forest Ridge Drive. It is in a portion of Section
24, Township 20, Range 15, WM in Kittitas County.
A final plat application was submitted by Skyline Ridge LLC, landowners, on
September 1, 2022 requesting final mylar approval for the Forest Ridge Ph. 5 plat.
Due to necessary changes, the final mylars were returned and then resubmitted on
October 20, 2022, November 23, 2022 and December 12, 2022. Staff has reviewed
the final mylar with supporting documentation and finds that it is consistent with the
preliminary approval documents for this phase. Additionally, final plat review has
been processed in conformance with Kittitas County Code Title 16. The mylar has
been reviewed by all reviewing departments, and all signatures are currently being
obtained. All departments except for Public Health have indicated that they will sign
the plat at the time of this writing. Public Health is verifying that the bond submitted
for a Class A Water System with the State Department of Health is sufficient before
signing the plat.
INTERACTION: Board of Commissioners, Community Development Services, Public Works, Public
Health, and Assessor’s Office
RECOMMENDATION: Signature of the BOCC Chair on the mylar for final plat approval of the Forest Ridge
Ph. 5 Plat (LP-08-00014 and LPF-22-00007).
HANDLING: Return signed mylar to staff for transmittal to owner and/or authorized agent for
Treasurer signature and recording.
ATTACHMENTS: Final mylar for the Forest Ridge Ph. 5 Plat (LP-08-00014 and LPF-22-00007). Please
note that the final updated mylars with very minor changes were not scanned in
correctly for this staff report in time but are correct in the mylars the County has.
