Kelly: The Department of Health (DOH) Office of Drinking Water (ODW) has the following discussion regarding water availability based on the additional propose connections identified in the Phase 2 Division 8 application: Based on previous communications regarding previous applications, the following table of proposed connections was provided: TABLE W-1 Suncadia Development No. Units* Phase 1 Division 3 Winemakers Cabins 24 Phase 2 Division 1 Nelson Creek 36 Phase 2 Division 4 Cabins at the Farm 39 Phase 2 Division 6 Nelson Ridge 42 Phase 3 Division 17 **80 Total 221 and, based on the more recent (including this application), DOH has updated this table to show proposed housing units for subsequent applications: TABLE W-1Addendum Suncadia Development No. Units* Phase 2 Division 7 148 Phase 1 Division 14 39 Phase 2 Division 8 72 Total 259 At this time, DOH records show the following: · 1501 approved connections · 992 active (constructed and occupied) connections Index #26 Then, · 480 (= 221 + 259) proposed connections This then gives, when all are constructed and active: · 1472 (= 992 + 480) active connections So, after this set of proposed connections are constructed the water system would have 29 (= 1501 – 1472) available connections. Thus, DOH has confidence that the Suncadia water system would still have sufficient water availability through these proposed “phases” of development.

Ruby St. Suite 2 Ellensburg, WA 98926 Attn: Kelley Bacon, Planner 1 RE: LP-22-00005, Suncadia Phase 2 Division 8 I-90 Exit 80 (Bullfrog Rd) vicinity We have reviewed the proposed project and have the following comment. The proposed subdivision is part of the Suncadia Master Planned Report (MPR). We are not opposed to this phase of the MPR, but we are concerned with the cumulative impact this, and future phases may have on the state highway system. The proponent is required to adhere to the conditions outlined in the MPR Conditions of Approval, specifically, condition C-17 Monitoring Program. However, WSDOT has not received an updated monitoring report for review. Prior to plat approval, the proponent should be required to submit an updated traffic monitoring report to the county and WSDOT for review. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this proposal. If you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact Jacob Prilucik at (509) 577-1635. Sincerely, Paul Gonseth, P.E.

The developer continues to thumb their nose at the rules and protocols established and agreed to in the “December 2008 Amended and Restated Development Agreement Exhibit F-1” as I have indicated in the past. Speciﬁcally, they are in violation of Sections B-43 and B-44 both of which impact air quality. They have also failed to comply with C-29. At no time since moving here full time in 2019 have any of these three conditions been met by the developer. A plan needs to be implemented to monitor the developer and establish corrective measures for non-compliance. 2. The developer’s response to SEPA Environmental Checklist item 14.h does not say they will comply, it merely directs you, the CDS staff to “please refer to the MPR Conditions of Approval, sections C-1 through C-20B”. Note - this is the exact document I refer to above, technically known as Exhibit F-1 to The Agreement, which they have continually violated. While referring to this speciﬁc section of Exhibit F-1 to imply compliance, they have actually highlighted their LACK of compliance with item C-17, Trafﬁc Monitoring Program. When will CDS and/or Public Works demand completion of the stipulated Trafﬁc Monitoring Program? 3. SEPA Checklist Attachment 13.b indicates the developer will remove the historic water line (KT02147) which is part of the Roslyn Water system without any regard to its possible historic signiﬁcance. According to the February 24, 2022 letter from the Washington Department of Archaeology & Historic Preservation to Kelly Bacon, Planner 1, KCCDS, “It should be determined whether the segment of the Roslyn Waterline Complex (KT02147) that passes Index #28 through the proposed project area is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. If this site is determined eligible, a permit from DAHP will be required in order to work within its boundary.” While the letter was in reference to a previous development in Suncadia, the same historic water line traverses this development. Has CDS and/or the property owner (Suncadia) determined the historic signiﬁcance of this water line per the letter? Would it not be prudent to investigate this before it is permanently destroyed?

Ruby St. Suite 2 Ellensburg WA 98926 RE: LP-22-00005 Dear Kelly Bacon, Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Notice of Application for the Suncadia Phase 2 Division 8. We have reviewed the application and have the following comment. WATER RESOURCES In Washington State, prospective water users must obtain authorization from the Department of Ecology before diverting surface water or withdrawing ground water, with one exception. Ground water withdrawals of up to 5,000 gallons per day (GPD) used for single or group domestic supply, industrial purposes, stock watering or for the irrigation of up to one-half acre of lawn and garden are exempt from the permitting process. Water use under the RCW 90.44.050 exemption establishes a water right that is subject to the same privileges, restrictions, laws and regulations as a water right permit or certificate obtained directly from Ecology. Additionally, in WRIA 49, RCW 90.94 further restricts the limits identified in RCW 90.44.050 for domestic and non-commercial lawn or garden to a maximum annual average of up to 3,000 GPD per connection. If you have any questions or would like to respond to these Water Resources comments, please contact Christopher Kossik at (509) 379-1826 or email at christopher.kossik@ecy.wa.gov.

These comments are based on the information available at the time of this review and on behalf of the SHPO in conformance Washington State law. Should additional information become available, our assessment may be revised. Our statewide predictive model indicates that there is a high probability of encountering cultural resources within the proposed project area. Further, the scale of the proposed ground disturbing actions would destroy any archaeological resources present. Identification during construction is not a recommended detection method because inadvertent discoveries often result in costly construction delays and damage to the resource. Therefore, we recommend a professional archaeological survey of the project area be conducted and a report be produced prior to ground disturbing activities. This report should meet DAHP’s Standards for Cultural Resource Reporting. We also recommend that any historic buildings or structures (45 years in age or older) located within the project area are evaluated for eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places on Historic Property Inventory (HPI) forms. We highly encourage the SEPA lead agency to ensure that these evaluations are written by a cultural resource professional meeting the SOI Professional Qualification Standards in Architectural History. Please note that the recommendations provided in this letter reflect only the opinions of DAHP. Any interested Tribes may have different recommendations. We appreciate receiving any correspondence or comments from Tribes or other parties concerning cultural resource issues that you receive. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project. Please ensure that the DAHP Project Tracking Number is shared with any hired cultural resource consultants and is attached to any communications or submitted reports. Please also ensure that any reports, site forms, and/or historic property inventory (HPI) forms are uploaded to WISAARD by the consultant(s).

Below you will find responses to each of the received comments. Please let us know if you have any questions. Kittitas County Assessor’s Office – Haley Mercer Response: Thank you for your review of the preliminary plat. Suncadia has corrected the items for preliminary plat and are reflected in the amended preliminary plat drawings submitted to KCCDS. Washington State Department of Health Office of Drinking Water – Russell Mau Response: Suncadia Resort is actively engaged with Suncadia Water Company’s update of the resort water model knowing the current approved connection count is at 29 remaining approved connections after this plat. Suncadia Resort LLC, through the utility provider Suncadia Water Company, ensure continued coordination and mitigation with Department of Health for the Capacity Analysis that has been submitted and commented on by DOH. Suncadia appreciates DOH’s swift and thorough coordination, review, and ultimately approval of the utility company’s application for updated approved connections. Washington State Department of Transportation – Paul Gonseth Response: Traffic impacts of the Master Planned Resort (MPR) continue to remain considerably lower than the initial estimates in the MPR-Final Environmental Impact Statement. Pursuant to the 2014 Index #35 Page 2 of 3 Traffic Monitoring Report, on January 13, 2015, Kittitas County waived further traffic monitoring pending certain conditions, none of which have yet occurred. Regardless of any of those conditions being met, Suncadia is in the process of producing an updated Traffic Monitoring Report to appease conditions C-17 and C-18 of the Development Agreement with Kittitas County. Updated report including traffic monitoring is intended for completion prior to year 2025. Ira Astrachan Response: Comment 1: Suncadia does impose and will continue to enforce construction equipment emissions and dust suppression on all contractors working within the resort. Lacking specifics of non- compliance there is nothing more to which Suncadia can respond. Regarding C-29, Suncadia utilizes the property purchase and sale process as the periodic survey identifying through buyers and sellers what the regional on and off-site recreational activity patterns seemingly are and subsequently works with the Suncadia Fund for Community Enhancement to see about filling or enhancing any recreational needs that come from those periodic surveys. Comment 2: Absent specific instances of non-compliance, Suncadia has nothing to which to respond, other than to confirm that a new traffic monitoring plan is underway and that it will comply with County Public Works requirement of being provided prior to year 2025. This work also addresses compliance of Condition C-17. Comment 3: The SEPA checklist Att. 13.b discloses the removal of the Roslyn water line. This water line complex (KT02147) has been relocated by agreement with the city (2005), and repeatedly removed and segments abandoned as the resort has developed. It was specifically surveyed, and its historical significance investigated and determined to not be eligible for listing. Pitts and Allen, 2019. The comment is without merit. Washington State Department of Ecology Response: Although the Development Agreement between Kittitas County and Suncadia prohibit water diversion and extraction at this stage of the resort development; if Suncadia ever were to find the resort in need of new water resources, undoubtedly the Department of Ecology would be at the table with the Utility Company overseeing water resource distribution, along with Suncadia Resort, Department of Health, and Kittitas County during that process. Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation – Sydney Hanson Response: The entire Suncadia resort property has been extensively surveyed for cultural and historic sites during the environmental impact process culminating in the identification of sites as well as adoption of appropriate mitigation measures as set forth in Conditions of Approval C-21 – C-23 of Exhibit F to the Development Agreement with Kittitas County. Suncadia is very cognizant and sensitive to cultural resources and historic properties and always preserve, protect, and follow all applicable rules and regulations as set forth in the Development Agreement. Kittitas County Public Works – Public Works Plan Review Team Response: Suncadia acknowledges the provided engineering and survey comments and the survey comments have been addressed in the amended preliminary plat drawings submitted to CDS. The remaining engineering comments will be addressed with public works prior to final plat submittal as requested. Washington State Department of Natural Resources – Scott Chambers Response: Suncadia continues to work with the Department of Natural Resources when FPA’s are required due to development. Suncadia has submitted a FPA application for this development and has an approved FPA number from the DNR for the work slated in this development.

III.ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW Zoning and Development Standards: The subject property is located within the Master Planned Resort zoning designation (Suncadia). The purpose and intent of the Master Planned Resort zone is to provide areas where residents and visitors alike can enjoy the “…wide range of natural features, including climate, vegetation, water, resources, scenic qualities, cultural, and geological features…” that Kittitas County has to offer. The Suncadia Master Planned Resort was originally applied for as MountainStar in March of 1997. A development agreement was signed at that time by the Board of County Commissioners Index #43 2 (BOCC). A Final Environmental Impact Statement was published by the County in April of 2000 which was found to be legally adequate (Res. 2000-79) in July of 2000 by the BOCC after being challenged by several governmental and non-governmental entities. In October of 2000 the BOCC approved adoption of the MountainStar MPR Application, Development Plan and Conditions of Approval. The development agreement now in its seventh amendment dictates the terms and conditions of development in the MPR. Section 4.1(a) lays out the vested rights of the now Suncadia MPR with respect to continued development and limits the county’s ability to “… impose new or different regulations on Trendwest's development of review to Mountain Star to the extent required by a serious threat to public health and safety: and provided further, however, the parties agree that Trendwest's vested rights under this Agreement may be modified, and that the County may modify the MountainStar MPR Conditions or impose mitigation as part of a Subsequent Action based on statutes, rules, regulations, official policies, and standards other than the Applicable Law…” to three conditions; 1. When the County reasonably believes in good faith that County approval of a Subsequent Action for Mountain Star under the terms of this Agreement would result in a decision by a State or Federal administrative agency, or a Court of competent jurisdiction that the County eligibility for funding, grants. program eligibility or other resources sought by the County would be impaired (for example, if approval of any portion of development would prohibit the County from being eligible under the National Flood Insurance Program or result in higher premium rates to the County or it's property owners); 2. When the County reasonably believes in good faith that County approval of a Subsequent Action for MountainStar under the terms of this Agreement would result in a decision by a State or Federal administrative agency, or a Court of competent jurisdiction, that the County unlawfully failed to comply with the Endangered Species Act or other State or Federal laws or regulations in approving the Subsequent Action; or 3. When a State or Federal statute or regulation would impose cumulative standards for compliance on an area wide or countywide basis. Modification under this section shall only be to the extent necessary to address the applicant's proportionate share of such cumulative standard (for example. if new federal water quality standards are adopted with cumulative in-stream standards, storm water standards for MountainStar may be adjusted to reflect Trend west's proportional share for correction of the diminished water quality, if any). The development agreement establishes a hierarchy of development design levels which allows for modification from the general to the specific as long as each tier is consistent with its superior element. In section four it goes on to spell out permitted and conditional uses, applicable law, and development standards. It also emphasizes that: “… the County's environmental review of any Subsequent Action pursuant to SEPA shall utilize the Mountain Star EIS to the fullest extent permitted by law.1 Under the Planned Action Ordinance, the County retains substantive SEPA authority to address probable significant adverse environmental impacts not analyzed in the MountainStar EIS. In addition, further SEPA review may be required in connection with General Site Plans and Site Development Plans submitted by Trendwest which propose deviations from the MountainStar Resort Conceptual Master Plan or from approved General Site Plans or Site Development Plans in accordance with Section 5.1 below.” Section 5.1 grants administrative authority to the Director of CDS when a General Site Plan, Site Development Plan, or Subdivision is consistent with the MountainStar Resort Conceptual Master Plan. 1 Staff emphasis Index #43 3 “A General Site Plan that is consistent with the approved MountainStar Resort Conceptual Master Plan and the Development Agreement shall be submitted to the Planning Director and reviewed and approved by the Planning Director in accordance with this Section 5.l(b). Before approving a General Site Plan, the Planning Director shall provide public notice and submit such proposed General Site Plan to the Environmental Health Director, Building Inspector, Fire Marshall, County Engineer. Sheriff, Solid Waste Department and any other County offices or officials deemed appropriate for their review and comment. A General Site Plan shall be approved by the Planning Director if the Planning Director finds that such General Site Plan is consistent with: (i) the MPR Approvals, including the MountainStar Resort Conceptual Master Plan; (ii) this Agreement; and (iii) Applicable Law.” The proposal is consistent with the Conceptual Master Plan and as such under the terms of the Development Agreement is only subject to minimal review with respect to land use activities. “A Site Development Plan shall be reviewed and approved by the County in the same manner as General Site Plans pursuant to Sections 5.1 (b) and 5.1 (c) above; provided, however, that: (i) a Site Development Plan which is consistent with the MountainStar Resort Conceptual Master Plan and the Development Agreement or an approved General Site Plan and a Site Development Plan… may be reviewed and approved by the BOCC without Planning Commission review…” Section 5.2 of the Development Agreement lays out the provisions for subdivision approval which reflect the language for General Site Plan and Site Development plans: (a) Applications to subdivide property within MountainStar shall be submitted consistent with this Agreement and the requirements of Title 16 KC, Plats, Subdivisions, Dedications, and Ch. 58.17 RCW. Plat applications may be submitted and processed concurrently with review of a Site Development Plan under Section 5. 1 above 2. Plat applications may be submitted for all or a portion of the proposed MountainStar development covered by a Site Development Plan. (b) Notwithstanding any provision of Title 16 KCC, Subdivisions, seemingly to the contrary, a plat application submitted to implement development of all or a portion of a Site Development Plan seeking preliminary and/or final plat approval shall be approved by the BOCC upon a finding that any such application is consistent with: (i) the MPR Approvals; (ii) an approved Site Development Plan; (iii) the requirements of Chapter 58.17 RCW regarding plats, subdivisions and dedications; and (iv) the terms and conditions of this Agreement…. In summary by front loading the land use review process through the Development Agreement, Environmental Impact Statement, General Site Plans and Site Development Plans, The Master Planned Resort designation permits an expedited review process for the specifics of subdivision and other land use activities and in reality limits the process to the mechanical elements of the proposed development, not philosophical. Suncadia itself has a required review process for development which scrutinizes the proposal to ensure consistency with the internal provisions, wants, needs, and desires of the resort. These internal CC&Rs provide guidance with respect to the nature of lots sizes, setbacks, and design. Preliminary Plats: The requirements of KCC Chapter 16.08.200, “Subdivision" means the division or re-division of land into five or more lots, tracts, parcels, sites or divisions for the purpose of sale, lease or transfer of ownership any one of which is less than 20 acres.
