Ms. Charleson felt heavy truck traffic could create a bottleneck in the site
without the additional access. She noted that access onto 212th-St. could be
restricted to right turn only and there was also the possibility, of future
signalization at 72nd Ave, if warranted. its. Charleson said the site has
basically sandy soil and it absorbs very well. No drainage problems were
-= anticipated but they will be required to maintain all drainage on the site.

Public Works Director Leif Larson said there are sanitary, sewers and storm sewers
on 72nd Ave. and there should be an 0" water main looped through Northstar Dr.
for fire protection. Ms. Charleson said it was recommended that a stress analysis
be made on the concrete walls prior to final approval. In terms of the Policy '
Plan, she said the natural slopes and vegetation v:ere already gone and the natural
state had already Jieen so'marred -that. any improvements would' be helpful. She:said
the drainage system would not be substantially, imputed, but the major impacts
would'be increased traffic and noise and polution from trucks. -She did not think
those tvould"be'siynificantly'.adverse, however. She recommended approval:, with

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSi'IENT AND DESIGN REVIE14 OF SEAVIEI•J PINES 42 (PRD-1-77)
Community Development Director John LaTourellc said this proposal met all City
requirements. lie said an environ►,iental assessment was made which he felt had
all the information but had little evaluation. He said it was provided and met
minimum needs. Ile noted that the applicant is,precluded by City regulation from
taking advantage of what the Planning Division felt was the best solution --deriving
access from the south- ••r•thich he could not do except for limited development. Mr.
LaTOurelle felt that the proposal as it stood.was environmentally acceptable,
considering the trade-offs that have to be made with an eye to the Policy Plan and
to the environmental Situation. Ile said he felt there were adverse impacts but
they were not large. Councilman Gould said he had received some telephone calls
from citizens on this mrltter and suggested if' they were present to speak they should
do so. The public portion of the Dearing was opened.
