Kaufman : • We represent Rentonites, Inc. , the proponent of a project located on the northside of Northeast 3rd Street , approximately 2800 block . Rentonites has made application for site approval to allow construction of a 100 foot by 38 foot commercial building . The Environmental Review Committee determined the development has a nonsignificant impact on the environment subject to certain conditions . A copy of the report is attached . The proponent hereby appeals the following conditions : ( 1 ) "Access is to be restricted to one driveway along Northeast 3rd Street and only right in and right out turning movements are to be permitted" . The plan submitted by the proponent proposes •that there be an entry driveway on the east of the development and an exit driveway on the west of the development . Those driveways are already constructed and in place. One of the principal owners of Rentonites , Inc„ is Emma Cuyi.ni who just recently completed the plat of the property in. that area . At the time of the platting of that property t:he driveways proposed by proponents were put in . A parcel which was platted included some curbing , black topping , sidewalks , driveways , street work , and in 8 inch water . lane. All of those items were at that time inspected by the City and approved by the City. Although this specific development was ' not contemplated at that time , the future development of this property was and the City approved the two driveways as proposed by proponent. Other businesses located in the same general area • �Y �1 1 11 FN ;` "' J�7• > r,, '•,i''r' 'v5'!•^;o." .•i. u:,AJ(J �'Yi • have no standard plan of: ingress or egress . Some of • them have one driveway , some of them have two driveways and there are others who have open access for the whole of the property. There is a building up the street that was constructed within the past year that has two driveways . Proponents feel that a separate entry and exit driveway would provide speedier access on and off Northeast 3rd Street and safer access on and off of Northeast 3rd. Street. Proponent requests that this condition be eliminated . (2 ) "A landscape buffer consisting of evergreen trees and shrubs shall be required along the north and west property lines to screen the commercial development from any adjacent multi family" . Proponent proposes to construct a brick building which will have approximately a 14 foot high wall along a major portion of the west line of the property. Proponent sees no need to provide any greenery buffer zone over this portion of the property . Proponents plan proposes green shrubbery from the street north to the edge of the building. The northerly portion of the property is earmarked for future development and proponent feels that the buffer zone in this area should be left till the future development of the property. With respect to the northerly line of the property the adjacent property owner has evergreens placed thereon to act as a buffer zone . The proposed placement of evergreens on the southerly part of the west line and the back of the building which would he like a 14 foot high fence will provide a sufficient huller for screening of noise and provide .a barrier or buffer zone of the adjacent multi family housing from : the project. ( 3 ) "The assessment value of the above referenced development is total amount $2 , 888 .00" . The proponent objects to the proposed assessment because those improvements listed at too far removed from the site to give any significant benefit to the proposed building site . The developer of the property who platted the property constr. uc:'ted significant improvements thereon , many of which benefited other adjoining • property owners but none of which were contributed to by other . property owners . • • 1 �tt+,a ' •v ° Nz', yr.i ; t'�`•1'FI �'.l The proponents plan shows just north of the east entry to the property a curb and greenbelt area .

AAD-019-83 (RENTONITES, INC.) LOCATION: Located on the north side of N.E. 3rd Street at approximately the 2800 block. SUMMARY OF APPEAL: Applicant is appealing Final Declaration of Non-Significance on Application No. SA-002-83, ECF-003-83. DECISION OF EXAMINERt: The decision of the Environmental Review Committee is affirmed. PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Building and Zoning Department Report, examining available information on file with the application and field checking the property and surrounding area, the Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows: The hearing was opened on April 5, 1983, at 9:45 a.m. in the Council Chambers of the Renton Municipal Building. Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner. The Hearing Examiner entered the following exhibits into the record: Exhibit #1: Building and site plan for the proposal. Exhibit #2: Photograph of the subject site. Exhibit #3: Photographs of various businesses in the subject area having more than one access for ingress and egress. Exhibit #4: Photograph of Benton Realty property on Sunset Blvd. N.E. Exhibit #5: Photograph of Dalpay and Associates property on Sunset Boulevard. Exhibit #6: Photograph of businesses on Park Avenue N. Exhibit #7: Photographs, (2) of property on N.E. 4th, showing sites of ingress and egress. Exhibit #8: Application file containing documentation and correspondence relative to the Environmental Review Committee's decision. The Examiner stated that the appellant has the burden of demonstrating that the determination of the Environmental Review Committee was incorrect. The Examiner called for testimony from the applicant. Testifying was: Mr. Wyman Dobson Attorney at Law 229 Williams Street S. Renton, WA 98055 Mr. Dobson reported his client is appealing the conditions imposed by the Environmental Review Committee in their Final Declaration of Non-Significance in the following areas, all of which are referred to in the letter of appeal dated March 11, 1983: \ / Louis Peretti (Rentonites, Inc.) A A D-019-8 3 April 18, 1983 Page 2 1. (Condition #1 - Final Declaration of Non-Significance) Access is to be restricted to one driveway along Northeast 3rd Street and only right-in and right-out turning movements are to be permitted. 2._ (Condition ##4 - Final Declaration of Non-Significance) A landscape buffer consisting of evergreen trees and shrubs shall be required along the north and west property lines to screen the commercial development from the adjacent multi-family. 3. (Condition #5 - Final Declaration of Non-Significance) The assessment value of the above referenced development is $2,888. Mr. Dobson asked that his client's letter of appeal be incorporated as a part of these proceedings. He stated his client believes the Environmental Review Committee made an error and incorrectly imposed conditions to modify the proposed project. Mr. Dobson stated that the subject property was recently platted by Mr. Cugini and during that process, the City required a number of improvements to the plot plan; resulting in there being constructed for this parcel, two access roads; one on the east and one on the west side of the property. .The plan is being submitted for this development, proposing that the access road on the right be limited to ingress to the property and the access road on the west be limited to egress. He stated there is no standard plan with respect to the number of access roads to the property for other surrounding businesses; some having one, two, or three, and some having general ingress and egress to the whole site. It is the applicant's feeling that by providing two separate sites, it would be much safer for those entering and exiting the property. The Hearing Examiner made reference to a recent newspaper article addressing the safety along M.E. 3rd and N.E. 4th, and stated that he wanted the applicant to take notice of the fact the City is considering various alternatives in dealing with the high accident rate along this street; that one of the alternatives would be C-curving in the center of the street. He noted he is aware of the City's concerns about those issues at this pont when he makes his decision. Mr. Dobson stated that Condition #2, which they are not appealing, provides for a barrier in the street which will eliminate any left-turn access into the property. They are not opposing that condition, but are opposing the fact that they now have to change construction and put in only one access which they feel would be much more dangerous than the two. Mr. Dobson further stated Condition #2 requires that there be a landscape buffer consisting of evergreen trees and shrubs along the north and west property lines to screen the commercial development from any adjacent multi-family residences. .To the west and north of this property is located the recently constructed low income multi-family housing submitted by the applicant proposes that shrubbery to provide a buffer zone be placed up nplan the westerly boundary of the property from the roadway back to the edge of the building. The building itself is to be constructed of brick and the applicant has a number of other buildings located in this area, many of which are constructed with concrete block exterior on the rear portion of the buildings and brick on the front. They propose in this instance to construct the building on the rear side out of brick because of the aesthetic value to the adjoining property, and they see no need to place greenery or shrubbery in that area. It would seem to be unnecessary to continue the buffer to the rear of the building. With respect to the balance of the west line and north line of the property, it would seem to be premature to landscape this area since it is not developed at the present time and the plans are uncertain. Mr. Dobson indicated the applicant is not opposed to placement of greenery on the west line from the roadway back to the building. The third condition being appealed is Condition #5, the requirement to pay for certain other improvements in the area. The applicant feels this particular development has relatively no impact on the surrounding area with respect to traffic, considering the hundreds of businesses and thousands of residents in the area and to assess the applicant a 1% charge on the four particular developments is excessive. These developments do not benefit the subject property. • (77N., Louis Peretti (Rentonites, Inc.) AA1)-U19-83 April 18, 1983 Page 3 The Examiner called for further testimony in support of the applicant. Testifying was: Louis Peretti 115 Monterey Place, N.E. Menton, WA 98056 Mr. Peretti indicated he has been an appraiser for the past 33 years, as well as having been involved with real estate and right-of-way organizations and feels he is well qualified in knowing what is a good access and what isn't. He stated he has also checked approximately 25 businesses in the City and most of them do have double access to the streets. He feels it is imperative that from a safety factor, he be allowed to utilize an ingress and an egress on this particular piece of property. With reference to lighting, Mr. Peretti stated there is no lighting to the east on that parking lot. Mr. Peretti then identified Exhibits 3 through 7 which were previously entered into the record. With respect to Condition 114 (landscaping), Mr. Peretti stated he felt the brick structure would be aesthtitically pleasing and some small shrubs and grass could be placed between the,building and the chain link fence at the multi-family housing project. Mr. Dobson indicated it is the applicant's desire to make one change to the proposal and that is with reference to curbing and the greenbelt area proposed just to the north of the ingress road (south of the building). The applicant proposes to eliminate the curbing and the greenbelt area which is located to the north of the entryway to provide quicker access to the property and would ask that removal of that particular facility be allowed. The Examiner inquired if there was sidewalk contemplated for the triangular portion between the actual building line and the street. Mr. Peretti indicated there would be a 10' walk on the east side around the building itself and a 4' walk on the south side of the building. A walk is already installed on N.E. 3rd. The Examiner informed the applicant that he is not considering the merits of the actual proposal, merely the challenge to the conditions imposed; that actual site plans are not a concern at this hearing. Mr. Dobson summarized the applicant's contentions that: 1. Separate ingress and egress would be much safer and much faster; 2. They feel an error was made by imposing a condition to establish a greenbelt on the west and north side; the building itself is constructed out of brick and provides an ample aesthetic view. • 3. To say that this property is directly benefited from the four separate improvements is an untrue statement. It is small in size and the access will be limited access from the east; to assess this property owner 1% of those development costs is exorbitant considering the number of businesses and residences in that general area who will be directly benefited by them. • The Examiner called on representation from the City. Testifying was: David Clemens Policy Development Director City of Renton • Mr. Clemens reported that he, in part, feels the Environmental Review Committee's action may have been premature, or the action of the Committee resulted in a number of changes to the applicant's proposal which may or may not have realized what the conditions would have been. The ERC's concerns for this proposal were as follows: 1. With regard to driveways, the Committee saw two conflicts when it reviewed the plans. The first was with the turning movements onto and off of N.E. 3rd which the appellants have proposed to resolve by providing ingress and separate egress driveways from N.E. 3rd. Louis Peretti (Rentonites, Inc.) AAD-019-83 April 18, 1983 Page 4 2. The second problem deals with on-site traffic conflicts as a result of the locations of the two driveways and the location of the parking lots within that area. Initially, there were a number of turning movements going in various directions due to the location of a driveway that is actually within the parking lot area not lining up with driveway approaches at the street. The second being a number of turning movements involved with the four parking spaces that are located along the west property line between the building and the street; also, backing into that travelway area is a concern. Mr. Clemens indicated that although the applicant's proposal to realign the driveways may reduce some of the conflicts, it does not alleviate the problems on-site. The Fire Department was concerned about not being able to align their emergency vehicle movements between the central drive that is within the parking lot and the street frontage. The on-site driving area in the parking lot does not align with the driveway curb cuts. 3. Another level of concern is that as this property develops, both the parcel behind and the adjoining parcels to the east are going to provide more instances of driveway within the parking lot area that will be coming up to the street curb cut. The result will ultimately be a lot more driveways along the frontage of this relatively small parcel. Mr. Clemens stated that at the time the short plat application was considered, one of the primary reasons the Hearing Examiner required site plan approval was that this relatively large parcel could easily have been designed as one integrated development; with the parcels broken up, a number of conflicts are possible. The ERC believes that the two driveway concept simply is not in the best interest of the general public. With regard to buffer zone, Mr. Clemens expressed his concern that this is a 14'x100' wall and • feels some softening of landscape materials would be appropriate. With regard to the area to the north of the building, the parking area will be used at all hours and there will be noise from the movement of vehicles. Consequently, there needs to be some separation provided from the parking areas and the residential areas to the north. The 75' or so between the proposed parking lot and the buildings is not sufficient to adequately mitigate that aspect. Regarding traffic fees, Mr. Clemens reported the Committee's review of the amount of traffic trips that would be generated by a development of this size would be approximately equivalent to 80 multiple family dwelling units and that kind of an impact is clearly one that is not significant, but cumulatively would create greater problems. As a result, the City has tried to be consistent in assessing all developments within that entire corridor along N.E. 3rd and N.E. 4th for the improvements at the intersection to assure that access for both business and personal use of the street along that area are available and adequate. Testimony was then heard from: Mr. Gary Norris Traffic Engineer • City of Renton Mr. Norris stated he believes it is important to point out what the condition of the N.E. 3rd and N.E. 4th corridor is. Approximately 20,000 to 25,000 cars use•this corridor each day; it is a major arterial to the City, providing major east-west movement for residential and commercial areas on the hill to downtown Renton, to 405, and to the business and commercial community in the valley. Therefore, it has been the City's intent to restrain access to the major arterial system as much as possible so that we might promote through movement. Mr. Norris stated he believes it is pertinent to also point out that the City did deny access to N.E. 3rd to the low income housing development to the west of this subject site. Mr. Norris pointed out some indications given to the City by national studies with reference to access to arterial systems by citing excerpts from "Access Management for Streets and Highways", Federal Highway Administration, June, 1982 issue. The article, in essence, indicates ' that the number of potential conflict points among vehicles rises as a result of an increasing number of driveways, causing the capacity at a specific level of service to diminish; where maximum efficiency of traffic movement is achieved, direct access to roadway is limited and, conversely, minimal restraint on roadway access severely reduces the safe, efficient movement of through traffic. The Examiner asked Mr. Norris to make a copy of this information available for the record in this matter. Louis Peretti (Rentonites, Inc.) AA I)-019-8 3 April 18, 1983 Pages Mr. Norris stated with respect to the trip generation rate fee that was assessed, the assessment was related to percentage of traffic that any particular development added to that location; what the City has done in carrying out that policy direction is to uniformly require all developments in that corridor arnorlgst those improvements to be charged with a percentage equivalent to the amount of traffic they are going to generate at the intersections. Mr. Clements again presented an overview of the ERC's concerns with this development. The Examiner called for further testimony or rebuttal. Mr. Dobson stated with reference to the access road, that they are proposing there be a separate ingress and separate egress; it is not two separate roads that provide ingress and egress at each location. They feel it would be much safer to have this separated rather than combined. Further, Mr. Dobson noted that this property was platted recently and the plans submitted showed two separate entries to the subject property and the City had no comments at that time to eliminate them. The developer since spent considerable money developing the plans approved by the City and to come in now and ask them to redevelop to one curb is unreasonable. With respect to the 5th condition regarding assessments, they feel that if there is a use of 80 multiple family dwelling units for this particular site, some 25,000 cars that use the roadway each day, they would submit that it is not 1% of the improvements. With respect to the corridor as it runs to the cast, and the assessment for this improvement, this piece of property will be the only parcel that will have a median barrier that will prohibit access from the west to this particular piece of property. The only access will be from the east. All of the other properties in the corridor have open access, most of them multiple ingress and egress. They again state there was an error made by the E1tC and feel that the conditions should be modified per the request. The Examiner asked Mr. Norris what the restrictions are on driveways within certain front footage that apply to commercial development or industrial development. Mr. Norris stated within commercial or industrial development, there is a maximum limit that can be placed on the space between them. The Examiner called for further testimony in support of the a being none offered, the Examiner closed the hearing at 10:40 a.mnpeal or from the City. There FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & DECISION: (laving reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following: • FINDINGS: • 1. The appellant, Rentonites, Inc., filed a request for site plan approval (SA-002-83) for the first phase of a small shopping center. An environmental checklist was submitted and the Environmental Review Committee (ERC) issued a Declaration of Non-Significance (DNS) for the project subject to certain conditions. Thereupon, the appellant filed this appeal. 2. The appellant objected to the imposition of certain of the conditions and alleged that the conditions are not reasonably related to the impacts of the proposal. 3. The specific conditions objected to were Numbers 1, 4 and 5 (see Exhibit #1 for the ERC's declaration). These conditions generally relate to the number of driveways serving the site; the requirement that the western boundary of the site be buffered by landscaping; and the assessment of certain costs for a variety of roadway improvements. 4. The subject site is located on the north side of N.E. 3rd Street, just west of Index Avenue N.E. as extended. The site was part of the Tito Cugini Short Plat #2. Other lots of that short plat are now occupied by the low cost housing complex immediately north and west of the subject site. 5. The appellant or its successor in interest was required to install certain improvements when the plat was approved. The site now has two driveways to N.E. 3rd Street. Under the proposal, the east drive would provide entry to the site's parking lot, while the westerly drive would permit exiting back to N.E. 3rd Street. The original plans submitted by the appellant indicated that both drives would provide both in and out access, but the plans have been modified to provide the one-way circulation. • Louis Peretti (Rentonitcs, Inc.) AA l)-019-8 3 April 18, 1983 - Page 6 • G. The proposed building would be the first phase of development on the site. This phase would develop the westernmost portion of the site with additional buildings on the northerly portion of the site, or the eastern portion, or both. The ultimate complex would be "U" shaped. Parking for the complex would be located in the central portion of the site, surrounded on three sides by buildings. 7. The western wall of the building now being proposed would be constructed of brick and would be 14 feet high by 100 feet long. This wall would face the low income complex to the west. The north wall of the building would also be in evidence to the complex, as would the parking lot. 8: '1'hc project is expected to generate approximately 475 vehicle trips per day, which is equivalent to an 80 unit multi-family development. 9. The N.E. 3rd/N.E. 4th Street corridor, a designated arterial, carries between 20,000 and 25,000 vehicles per day. This street serves as a major route from the residential Highlands area of the City to the Central Business District (CBD) and I-405. 10. The appellant submitted for the record, photographs and the locations of numerous sites which had more than one driveway for access to an arterial street. These sites were located along N.L. 3rd/N.E. 4th and along Sunset Boulevard N.E. City stuff indicated that most of these sites were developed without regard to protecting the integrity and functions of arterial streets. These concerns are the safe and efficient movement of large numbers of vehicles with little or no conflicting turning movements. The low income housing complex, after site plan review, was not permitted access to N.E. 3rd Street. The complex has access to the north via a collector street, which then connects to the arterial corridor. 11. Staff cited a federal report published in June of 1982 (see Exhibit #2) which, in part,provides insight into the factors that impact the efficiency and safe functioning of arterial streets. The primary impediments to efficiency and safety are curb cuts and intersections. Reducing and/or limiting the number of new curb cuts was a critical factor • in reducing accidents and improving the level of service on arterial streets. 12. The report also indicated that courts have found that abutters, that is, owners of property fronting upon a certain street, are not entitled to unlimited access to that street, but only reasonable access. They have further indicated that reasonable access may be circuitous; that is via a collector street or series of streets, if the situation, i.e., public safety or convenience, warrants. 13. The lire Department has indicated that the current configuration of the entry drives will not provide suitable emergency access, especially if the remaining portions of the pro psal are constructed. The drives are not aligned with the aisle of the parking area. Additional maneuvering is necessary to enter the actual parking aisle. Emergency vehicles and cars will have to maneuver off of N.E. 3rd into a small entryway and then into the main parking area. The parking lot will not permit a "clean" turn out of traffic — a pause capable of impending traffic may be necessary. 14. The Environmental Review Committee imposed the landscape buffer requirement to "soften" the visual impact of the western wall upon the adjacent residential complex pursuant to policies of the Comprehensive Plan, which requires screening between differing uses and zones.. • Landscaping was also required along the northern property line to minimize the impacts of the parking lot upon the northerly residential units. The EltC indicated that until and unless some additional structures are constructed in the north central portion of the site, the parking lot will be visible and the noise, light, glare and odors emanating from the parking lots will adversely affect the residences. • 15. The Environmental Review Committee has assessed the appellant to provide roadway improvement costs in the amount of $2,888. The fee was assessed for the improvements of the N.E. 3rd and Sunset Blvd. N.E. intersection ($1,200); the N.E. 3rd and Edmonds intersection ($1,000); and linear and intersection improvements for Monroe Avenue N.E. and N.E. 4th Street ($688). • Louis Peretti (Rentonites, Inc.) • AAD-019-83 April 18, 1983 Page 7 The assessments were based upon the estimated impacts of the proposal upon the total activity on the above roads and intersections. The Traffic Engineering Department indicated the percentage increase to be approximately 1 %. Since left turns will be precluded to and from the site, the ERC reasoned that both employees and patrons of the proposed complex would be passing over or through the various intersections cited. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The determination of the Environmental Review Committee, the City's responsible official, is entitled to receive substantial weight when reviewed in an appeal procedure pursuant to RCW 43.21C.090 (SEPA) as outlined by the court in Mentor v. Kitsap County, 22 Wn. App. 285,289 (1978). The appellant, therefore, has the burden of demonstrating that the decision of the Environmental Review Committee was erroneous. The courts of Washington have further defined the burden as showing that the decision of the responsible official or agency is arbitrary and capricious (Short v. Clallarn County, 22 Wn. App. 825,829, 1979). That is, whether the decision was a "willful and unreasoning action in disregard of fact and circumstances" (Stemperl v. Department ' of Water Resources, 82 Wn. 2nd 109, 114, 1973). 2. The decision of the Environmental Review Committee to require the elimination of one driveway, the provision of landscaping buffers, and the payment for a percentage of roadway improvements is not arbitrary and capricious under the standards enunciated above. 3. While the appellant has referenced other sites with more than one driveway, the Environmental Review Committee, in reaching its decision in this case, evaluated new studies and applied that new learning to the subject site. The site is located along a curve on a major arterial street and the Environmental Review Committee reasoned that the minimization of curb cuts will improve arterial safety and efficiency based upon a new understanding of traffic safety and engineering principles. The decision is not unreasoning action in disregard of the circumstances, as the appellant still has reasonable access to N. E. 3rd Street, unlike the adjacent housing complex which must enter and exit to the north. • The Environmental Review Committee indicated that while there are a number of existing offending driveways, they have limited resources to correct past errors, hut have the ability to prevent additional problems by now limiting the number of access drives on arterial streets. 4. The Comprehensive Plan's goals and policies indicate that differing uses be effectively screened from one another and especially where one•of the uses is residential and the adjoining use is non-residential. While the intent of the brick wall was to be more aesthetic than concrete block construction, the large expanse of wall, 14 feet high by 100 feet long, will still present a relatively unaesthetic appearance to the adjacent residential complex unless it is softened and broken up somewhat with landscaping in the form of trees and shrubs. Similarly, the parking area and the light and glare of vehicles, especially hours of winter, will infringe on the residential complex. These effectsn canebevenin more effectively screened by the use of landscaping. Landscaping can also serve to absorb some of the noise of the parking area and break the impact of odors on the residential complex. 5. The decision of the Environmental Review Committee to require landscaping is not unreasoning. The decision was based upon policies found in the Comprehensive Plan and the Environmental Review Committee has only attempted to effectuate those policies. 6. While certain improvements were installed as part of the platting process, the additional fees imposed by the Environmental Review Committee are intended to mitigate the specific impacts of the proposed development upon the transportation system of the City. When the short plat was approved, general improvements were required. Since the development options open to the applicant were varied under the site's zoning, the City could not anticipate the precise nature of the proposed development and, therefore, could not assess costs relative to impact. The information is now available and it permitted the liItC to analyze the potential impact on the roadways and assess costs. • f . Louis Peretti (Rentonites, Inc.) AAD-019-83 April 18, 1983 Page 8 The percentage assessed for the proposal, 196, is based upon a reasonable expectation of the traffic which will be generated by the development. The record discloses that the proposal will generate the equivalent of an 80-unit apartment complex that is approximately 475 vehicle trips per day. Based upon this estimate, the Traffic Engineering Department calculated and the Environmental Review Committee imposed the $2,888 fee. Other development has been similarly assessed based upon a similar analysis. 7. The formulation and calculations appear to be based upon reasonably anticipated impacts of the development upon the streets and intersections along the N.E. 3rd/N.E. 4th corridor. These intersections may be remote from the site, but the limitations upon turning movements and other criteria indicate that these intersections will be affected by the proposal, as patrons and employees of the site must very well use some, if not all, of the cited intersections. 8. The imposition of the fee is not arbitrary and capricious and the decision of the Environmental Review Committee on this issue was correct. 9. The various conditions imposed by the Environmental Review Committee were based upon a reasonable examination of the proposal and its reasonably anticipated impacts on the roads and adjoining development and the decision of the Environmental Review Committee is therefore affirmed in its entirety. DECISION: The decision of the Environmental Review Committee is affirmed. ORDERED THIS 18th day of April, 1983. Fred J.

The Act also requires that an EIS be prepared for all major actions significantly affecting the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to help the agencies involved determine whether or not a proposal is such a major action. Please answer the following questions as completely as you can with the information presently available to you. Where explanations of your answers are required, or where you believe an explanation would be helpful to government decision makers , include your explanation in the space provided, or use additional pages if necessary. You should include references to any reports or studies of which you are aware and which are rele- vant to the answers you provide. Complete answers to these. questions now will help all agencies involved with your proposal to undertake the required environmental review with- out unnecessary delay. the following questions apply to your total proposal . not just to the license for which you are currently applying or the proposal for which approval is sought. Your answers should include the impacts which will be caused by your proposal when it is completed, even though completion may not occur until sometime in the future. This will allow all of the agencies which will be involved to complete their environmental review now, with- out duplicating paperwork in the future. NOTE: This is a standard form being used by all state and local agencies in the State of Washington for various types of proposals. Many of the questions may not apply to your proposal . If a question does not apply, just answer it "no" and continue on to the next question. ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST FORM I . BACKGROUND 1. Name of Proponent RENTONITES, INC. 2.
