4. SUMMARY STATEMENT (cont.):
At issue:
An Appeal has been filed of the Determination of Non-significance for the
Victor Target and Roger Nance Plan amendment application for Weslon Place.
On the city form the Appellant alleges that the Determination of Non-
significance is invalid because: 1. There is a "SEPA timing Problem.~ 2.
'~Lack of process per Critical land ordinance." 3. "Lack of storm water
review per City Storm Water Ordinance and DOE requirements~, 4. ~Failure to
evaluate cumulative impact on the remaining single family residents of
Weslon Place". 5. ~Lack of SEPA review for Boundary Line Adjustment" and
also 6. "Lack of compliance with BMC 21.0-2.845(b).~ Appellants also
indicate their believe that ~Boundary line adjustments are not SEPA
Exempt." No other written statements or documentation were submitted with
the appeal. The appeal was filed in a timely manner.
The applicants relief sought is '~Reprocess application in conformance with
all existing regulations giving due and proper consideration to the
requirements for an environmental impact statement"
10. IMPACT ON NON-PASSAGE:
Up holding the appeal would not accomplish any purpose. A new Checklist
would be required but another new publication of the Determination of Non
significance is not required because the checklist would only provide
additional information with the same conclusion. WAC 197-11-340(3) (c) only
requires additional notice is the DNS is withdrawn or revised.
11. IMPACT ON STAFFING, BUDGETS, FACILITIES, EQUIPMENT OR OTHER RESOURCES
Additional staff time would be involved to redraft the checklist.
