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, BCF-003-83. DECISION OF EXAMINER: 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 RentonMunicipalBuilding. 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 #t2: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 onSunsetBlvd. N.E. Exhibit #{5:Photograph of Dalpay and Associates property on Sunset Boulevard. Exhibit #6:Photograph of businesses on Park Avenue N.

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 determinationoftheEnvironmentalReviewCommitteewasincorrect. The Examiner called for testimony from the applicant. Testifying was: Mr. Wyman Dobson Attorney at Law 229 Williams Street S. Menton, WA 98055 Mr. Dobson reported his client is appealing the conditions imposed by the Environmental ReviewCommitteeintheirFinalDeclarationofNon-Significance in the following areas, all of whicharereferredtointheletterofappealdatedMarch11, 1983: Louis Peretti (Itentonites, Inc.) AAD-019-83 April 18, 1983 11Page2 1. (Condition 111 -- Final Declaration of Non-Significance) Access is to be restricted to onedrivewayalongNortheast3rdStreetandonlyright-in and right-out turning movements aretobepermitted. 2.Condition 1#4 -- Final Declaration of Non-Significance) A landscape buffer consisting ofevergreentreesandshrubsshallberequiredalongthenorthandwestpropertylinestoscreenthecommercialdevelopmentfromtheadjacentmulti-family. 3. (Condition #5 - Final Declaration of Non-Significance) The assessment value of the abovereferenceddevelopmentis $2,888. Mr. Dobson asked that his client's letter of appeal be incorporated as a part of theseproceedings. He stated his client believes the Environmental Review Committee made an errorandincorrectlyimposedconditionstomodifytheproposedproject. Mr. Dobson stated that the subject property was recently 4 uring that 'process, the City required a number of improvements to the plot plan;rr suiting inand there beingconstructedforthisparcel, two access roads; one on the east and one on the west side of theproperty. .The plan is being submitted for this development, proposing that the access road ontherightbelimitedtoingresstothepropertyandtheaccessroadonthewestbelimitedtoegress. lie stated there is no standard plan with respect to the number of access roads to thepropertyforothersurroundingbusinesses; some having one, two, or three, and some havinggeneralingressandegresstothewholesite. It is the applicant's feeling that by providing twoseparatesites, 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 alongN.E. 3rd and N.E. 4th, and stated that he wanted the applicant to take notice of the fact theCityisconsideringvariousalternativesindealingwiththehighaccidentratealongthisstreet;that one of the alternatives would be C-curving in the center of the street. He noted he isawareoftheCity'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 thestreetwhichwilleliminateanyleft-turn access into the property. They are not opposing thatcondition, but are opposing the fact that they now have to change construction and put in onlyoneaccesswhichtheyfeelwouldbemuchmoredangerousthanthetwo. Mr. Dobson further stated Condition ##2 requires that there be a landscape buffer consisting ofevergreentreesandshrubsalongthenorthandwestpropertylinestoscreenthecommercialdevelopmentfromanyadjacentmulti-family residences. To the west and north of this propertyislocatedtherecentlyconstructedlowincomemulti-family housing project. Thesubmittedbytheapplicantro proposed planpposesthatshrubberytoprovideabufferzonebeplaceduponthewesterlyboundaryofthepropertyfromtheroadwaybacktotheedgeofthebuilding. Thebuildingitselfistobeconstructedofbrickandtheapplicanthasanumberofotherbuildingslocatedinthisarea, many of which are constructed with concrete block exterior on the rearportionofthebuildingsandbrickonthefront. They propose in this instance to construct thebuildingontherearsideoutofbrickbecauseoftheaestheticvaluetotheadjoiningproperty,and they see no need to place greenery or shrubbery in that area. It would seem to beunnecessarytocontinuethebuffertotherearofthebuilding. With respect to the balance ofthewestlineandnorthlineoftheproperty, it would seem to be premature to landscape thisareasinceitisnotdevelopedatthepresenttimeandtheplansareuncertain. Mr. Dobsonindicatedtheapplicantisnotopposedtoplacementofgreeneryonthewestlinefromtheroadwaybacktothebuilding. The third condition being appealed is Condition #5, the requirement to pay for certain otherimprovementsinthearea. The applicant feels this particular development has relatively noimpactonthesurroundingareawithrespecttotraffic, considering the hundreds of businessesandthousandsofresidentsintheareaandtoassesstheapplicanta1% charge on the fourparticulardevelopmentsisexcessive. These developments do not benefit the subject property. 1 Louis Peretti (Rentonites, Inc.) A A l)-019-8 3 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. Renton, WA 98056 Mr. Peretti indicated he has been an appraiser for the past 33 years, as well as having beeninvolvedwithrealestateandright-of-way organizations and feels he is well qualified in knowingwhatisagoodaccessandwhatisn't. lie stated he has also checked approximately 25 businessesintheCityandmostofthemdohavedoubleaccesstothestreets. lle feels it is imperativethatfromasafetyfactor, he be allowed to utilize an ingress and an egress on this particularpieceofproperty. With reference to lighting, Mr. Peretti stated there is no lighting to the eastonthatparkinglot. Mr. Peretti then identified Exhibits 3 through 7 which were previously entered into the record. With respect to Condition 14 (landscaping), Mr. Peretti stated he felt the brick structure wouldbeaestheticallypleasingandsomesmallshrubsandgrasscouldbeplacedbetweenthe, buildingandthechainlinkfenceatthemulti-family housing project. Mr. Dobson indicated it is the applicant's desire to make one change to the proposal and that iswithreferencetocurbingandthegreenbeltareaproposedjusttothenorthoftheingressroadsouthofthebuilding). The applicant proposes to eliminate the curbing and the greenbelt areawhichislocatedtothenorthoftheentrywaytoprovidequickeraccesstothepropertyandwouldaskthatremovalofthatparticularfacilitybeallowed. The Examiner inquired if there was sidewalk contemplated for the triangular portion betweentheactualbuildinglineandthestreet. Mr. Peretti indicated there would be a 10' walk on theeastsidearoundthebuildingitselfanda4' walk on the south side of the building. A walk isalreadyinstalledonN.E. 3rd. The Examiner informed the applicant that he is not considering the merits of the actualproposal, merely the challenge to the conditions imposed; that actual site plans are not aconcernatthishearing. 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 westandnorthside; the building itself is constructed out of brick and provides an ampleaestheticview. 3. To say that this property is directly benefited from the four separate improvements is anuntruestatement. 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 thenumberofbusinessesandresidencesinthatgeneralareawhowillbedirectlybenefitedbythem. 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 mayhavebeenpremature, or the action of the Committee resulted in a number of changes to theapplicant'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 appellantshaveproposedtoresolvebyprovidingingressandseparateegressdrivewaysfromN.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 thetwodrivewaysandthelocationoftheparkinglotswithinthatarea. Initially, there were a number of turning movements goilig in various directions due to the location of a drivewaythatisactuallywithintheparkinglotareanotliningupwithdrivewayapproachesatthestreet. The second being a number of turning movements involved with the four parkingspacesthatarelocatedalongthewestpropertylinebetweenthebuildingandthestreet;also, backing into that travelway area is a concern. Mr. Clemens indicated that although the applicant's proposal to realign the driveways mayreducesomeoftheconflicts, it does not alleviate the problems on-site. The FireDepartmentwasconcernedaboutnotbeingabletoaligntheiremergencyvehiclemovementsbetweenthecentraldrivethatiswithintheparkinglotandthestreetfrontage. The on-site driving area in the parking lot does not align with the driveway curbcuts. 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 theparkinglotareathatwillbecominguptothestreetcurbcut. The result will ultimatelybealotmoredrivewaysalongthefrontageofthisrelativelysmallparcel. Mr. Clemens stated that at the time the short plat application was considered, one of the primary reasons the blearing Examiner required site plan approval was that this relatively largeparcelcouldeasilyhavebeendesignedasoneintegrateddevelopment; with the parcels brokenup, a number of conflicts are possible. The ERC believes that the two driveway concept simplyisnotinthebestinterestofthegeneralpublic. With regard to buffer zone, Mr. Clemens expressed his concern that this is a 14'x100' wall andfeelssomesofteningoflandscapematerialswouldbeappropriate. 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 fromthemovementofvehicles. Consequently, there needs to be some separation provided from theparkingareasandtheresidentialareastothenorth. The 75' or so between the proposed parkinglotandthebuildingsisnotsufficienttoadequatelymitigatethataspect. Regarding traffic fees, Mr. Clemens reported the Committee's review of the amount of traffictripsthatwouldbegeneratedbyadevelopmentofthissizewouldbeapproximatelyequivalentto80multiplefamilydwellingunitsandthatkindofanimpactisclearlyonethatisnotsignificant, but cumulatively would create greater problems. As a result, the City has tried tobeconsistentinassessingalldevelopmentswithinthatentirecorridoralongN.E. 3rd and N.E.4th for the improvements at the intersection to assure that access for both business andpersonaluseofthestreetalongthatareaareavailableandadequate. 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 andN.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 inthevalley. Therefore, it has been the City's intent to restrain access to the major arterialsystemasmuchaspossiblesothatwemightpromotethroughmovement. Mr. Norris stated hebelievesitispertinenttoalsopointoutthattheCitydiddenyaccesstoN.E. 3rd to the lowincomehousingdevelopmenttothewestofthissubjectsite. Mr. Norris pointed out some indications given to the City by national studies with reference toaccesstoarterialsystemsbycitingexcerptsfrom "Access Management for Streets andHighways", Federal Highway Administration, June, 1982 issue. The article, in essence, indicatesthatthenumberofpotentialconflictpointsamongvehiclesrisesasaresultofanincreasingnumberofdriveways, 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 movementofthroughtraffic. The Examiner asked Mr. Norris to make a copy of this information available for the record inthismatter. Louis Peretti (Rentonites, Inc.) AA1>-0I9-113 April 18, 1983 Page 5 Mr. Norris stated with respect to the trip generation rate fee that was assessed, the assessmentwasrelatedtopercentageoftrafficthatanyparticulardevelopmentaddedtothatlocation;what the City has done in carrying out that policy direction is to uniformly require alldevelopmentsinthatcorridoramongstthoseimprovementstobechargedwithapercentageequivalenttotheamountoftraffictheyaregoingtogenerateattheintersections. Mr. Clements again presented on overview of the EItC'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 aseparateingressandseparateegress; it is not two separate roads that provide ingress and egressateachlocation. They feel it would be much safer to have this separated rather thancombined. Further, Mr. Dobson noted that this property was platted recently and the planssubmittedshowedtwoseparateentriestothesubjectpropertyandtheCityhadnocommentsatthattimetoeliminatethem. The developer since spent considerable money developing theplansapprovedbytheCityandtocomeinnowandaskthemtoredeveloptoonecurbisunreasonable. With respect to the 5th condition regarding assessments, they feel that if there isauseof80multiplefamilydwellingunitsforthisparticularsite, some 25,000 cars that use theroadwayeachday, 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, thispieceofpropertywillbetheonlyparcelthatwillhaveamedianbarrierthatwillprohibitaccessfromthewesttothisparticularpieceofproperty. The only access will be from the east. All oftheotherpropertiesinthecorridorhaveopenaccess, most of them multiple ingress and egress.They again state there was an error made by the E1tC and feel that the conditions should bemodifiedpertherequest. The Examiner asked Mr. Norris what the restrictions are on driveways within certain frontfootagethatapplytocommercialdevelopmentorindustrialdevelopment. Mr. Norris statedwithincommercialorindustrialdevelopment, there is a maximum limit that can be placed onthespacebetweenthem. The Examiner called for further testimony in support of the abeingnoneoffered, the Examiner closed the hearing at 10:40 a.f11ppeal or from the City. There FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & DECISION: (laving reviewed the record in this matter, theExaminernowmakesandentersthefollowing: FINDINGS: • 1. The appellant, Rentonites, Inc., filed a request for site plan approval (SA-002-83) for thefirstphaseofasmallshoppingcenter. An environmental checklist was submitted and theEnvironmentalReviewCommittee (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 theconditionsarenotreasonablyrelatedtotheimpactsoftheproposal. 3. The specific conditions objected to were Numbers 1, 4 and 5 (see Exhibit #1 for the ERC'sdeclaration). These conditions generally relate to the number of driveways serving thesite; 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 AvenueN.E. as extended. The site was part of the Tito Cugini Short Plat #2. Other lots of thatshortplatarenowoccupiedbythelowcosthousingcompleximmediatelynorthandwestofthesubjectsite. 5. The appellant or its successor in interest was required to install certain improvementswhentheplatwasapproved. The site now has two driveways to N.E. 3rd Street. Undertheproposal, the east drive would provide entry to the site's parking lot, while thewesterlydrivewouldpermitexitingbacktoN.E. 3rd Street. The original plans submittedbytheappellantindicatedthatbothdriveswouldprovidebothinandoutaccess, but theplanshavebeenmodifiedtoprovidetheone-way circulation. Louis Peretti (Rentonites, Inc.) AA D-01 9-83 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 ndditionnl buildings on thenortherlyportionofthesite, or the eastern portion, or both. The ultiinnte complex wouldbe "U" shnl)C(l. 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 beIwouldbe14feethighby100feetlong. po constructed of brick and This wall would face the low income complex tothewest. The north wall of the building would also be in evidence to the complex, aswouldtheparkinglot. 8. The project is expected to generate approximately 475 vehicle trips per day, which isequivalenttoan80unitmulti-family development. 9. The N.E. 3rd/N.E. 4th Street corridor, a designated arterial, carries between 20,000 and25,000 vehicles per day. This street serves as a major route from the residential HighlandsareaoftheCitytotheCentralBusinessDistrict (CBD) and I-405. 10. The appellant submitted for the record, photographs and the locations of numerous siteswhichhadmorethanonedrivewayforaccesstoanarterialstreet. These sites werelocatedalongN.E. 3rd/N.E. 4th and along Sunset Boulevard N.E. City staff indicated that most of these sites were developed without regard to protectingtheintegrityandfunctionsofarterialstreets. These concerns are the safe and efficientmovementoflargenumbersofvehicleswithlittleornoconflictingturningmovements. 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 thenconnectstothearterialcorridor. 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 arterialstreets. The primary impediments to efficiency and safety arc curb cuts andintersections. Reducing and/or limiting the number of new curb cuts was a critical factorinreducingaccidentsandimprovingthelevelofserviceonarterialstreets. 12. The report also indicated that courts have found that abutters, that is, owners of propertyfrontinguponacertainstreet, are not entitled to unlimited access to that street, but onlyreasonableaccess. 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 orconvenience, warrants. 13. The Fire Department has indicated that the current configuration of the entry drives willnotprovidesuitableemergencyaccess, especially if the remaining portions of the proposalareconstructed. The drives are not aligned with the aisle of the parking area. Additionalmaneuveringisnecessarytoentertheactualparkingaisle. Emergency vehicles and carswillhavetomaneuveroffofN.E. 3rd into a small entryway and then into the main parkingarea. The parking lot will not permit a "clean" turn out of traffic — a pause capable ofimpendingtrafficmaybenecessary. 14. The Environmental Review Committee imposed the landscape buffer requirement tosoften" the visual impact of the western wall upon the adjacent residential complexpursuanttopoliciesoftheComprehensivePlan, which requires screening betweendifferingusesandzones_ Landscaping was also required along the northern property line to minimize the impacts oftheparkinglotuponthenortherlyresidentialunits. The E1tC indicated that until andunlesssomeadditionalstructuresareconstructedinthenorthcentralportionofthesite,the parking lot will be visible and the noise, light, glare and odors emanating from theparkinglotswilladverselyaffecttheresidences. 15. The Environmental Review Committee has assessed the appellantimprovementcostsintheamountof $2,888. The fee was a eessed foro the i mprovvoeprvidm ntsoftheN.E. 3rd and Sunset Blvd. N.E. intersection ($1,200); the N.R. 3rd and Edmondsintersection ($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 totalactivityontheaboveroadsandintersections. The Traffic Engineering Departmentindicatedthepercentageincreasetobeapproximately1 %. Since left turns will be precluded to and from the site, the ERC reasoned that bothemployeesandpatronsoftheproposedcomplexwouldbepassingoverorthroughthevariousintersectionscited. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The determination of the knvirorr,nentnl Review Committee, the City's responsibleofficial, is entitled to receive substantial weight when reviewed in an appeal procedurepursuanttoRCW43.21C.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 demonstratingthatthedecisionoftheEnvironmentalReviewCommitteewaserroneous. The courts of Washington have further defined the burden as showing that the decision oftheresponsibleofficialoragencyisarbitraryandcapricious (Short v. Clallarn County, 22Wn. App. 825,829, 1979). That is, whether the decision was a "willful and unreasoningactionindisregardoffactandcircumstances" (Stemperl v. Department ' of WaterResources, 82 Wn. 2nd 109, 114, 1973). 2. The decision of the Environmental Review Committee to require the elimination of onedriveway, the provision of landscaping buffers, and the payment for a percentage ofroadwayimprovementsisnotarbitraryandcapriciousunderthestandardsenunciatedabove. 3. While the appellant has referenced other sites with more than one driveway, theEnvironmentalReviewCommittee, in reaching its decision in this case, evaluated newstudiesandappliedthatnewlearningtothesubjectsite. The site is located along a curve on a major arterial street and the Environmental ReviewCommitteereasonedthattheminimizationofcurbcutswillimprovearterialsafetyandefficiencybaseduponanewunderstanding; of traffic safety and engineering principles.The decision is not unreasoning action in disregard of the circumstances, as the appellantstillhasreasonableaccesstoN. E. 3rd Street, unlike the adjacent housing complex whichmustenterandexittothenorth. The Environmental Review Committee indicated that while there are a number of existingoffendingdriveways, they have limited resources to correct past errors, hut have theabilitytopreventadditionalproblemsbynowlimitingthenumberofaccessdrivesonarterialstreets. 4. The Comprehensive Plan's goals and policies indicate that differing uses be effectivelyscreenedfromoneanotherandespeciallywhereone •of the uses is residential and theadjoininguseisnon-residential. While the intent of the brick wall was to be more aesthetic than concrete blockconstruction, the large expanse of wall, 14 feet high by 100 feet long, will still present arelativelyunaestheticappearancetotheadjacentresidentialcomplexunlessitissoftenedandbrokenupsomewhatwithlandscapingintheformoftreesandshrubs. Similarly, the parking area and the light and glare of vehicles, especially in the eveninghoursofwinter, will infringe on the residential complex. These effects can be moreeffectivelyscreenedbytheuseoflandscaping. Landscaping can also serve to absorb someofthenoiseoftheparkingareaandbreaktheimpactofodorsontheresidentialcomplex. 5. The decision of the Environmental Review Committee to require landscaping is notunreasoning. The decision was based upon policies found in the Comprehensive Plan andtheEnvironmentalReviewCommitteehasonlyattemptedtoeffectuatethosepolicies. 6. While certain improvements were installed as part of the platting process, the additionalfeesimposedbytheEnvironmentalReviewCommitteeareintendedtomitigatethespecificimpactsoftheproposeddevelopmentuponthetransportationsystemoftheCity.When the short plat was approved, general improvements were required. Since thedevelopmentoptionsopentotimeapplicantwerevariedunderthesite's zoning, the Citycouldnotanticipatetheprecisenatureoftheproposeddevelopmentarid, therefore, couldnotassesscostsrelativetoimpact. The information is now available and it permitted theEItCtoanalyzethepotentialimpactontheroadwaysandassesscosts. Louis Peretti (Rentonites, Inc.) AAD-019-83 April 18, 1983 Page 8 The percentage assessed for the proposal, 1%, is based upon a reasonable expectation ofthetrafficwhichwillbegeneratedbythedevelopment. The record discloses that theproposalwillgeneratetheequivalentofan80-unit apartment complex that isapproximately475vehicletripsperday. Based upon this estimate, the Traffic Engineering Department calculated and the Environmental Review Committee imposedthe $2,888 fee. Other development has been similarly assessed based upon a similaranalysis. 7. The formulation and calculations appear to be based upon reasonably anticipated impactsofthedevelopmentuponthestreetsandintersectionsalongtheN.E. 3rd/N.E. 4thcorridor. These intersections may be remote from the site, but the limitations uponturningmovementsandothercriteriaindicatethattheseintersectionswillbeaffectedbytheproposal, as patrons and employees of the site must very well use some, if not all, ofthecitedintersections. 8. The imposition of the fee is not arbitrary and capricious and the decision of theEnvironmentalReviewCommitteeonthisissuewascorrect. 9. The various conditions imposed by the Environmental Review Committee were based uponareasonableexaminationoftheproposalanditsreasonablyanticipatedimpactsontheroadsandadjoiningdevelopmentandthedecisionoftheEnvironmentalReviewCommitteeisthereforeaffirmedinitsentirety.

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. I' 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 ;.omplete 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.
