Please find attached the "Environmental Assessment" for Pine Ridge Villa. I.
believe you will find -it in order.
I would like to make a comment -on the City:'s request for this type of
information. After a review of your Ordinance 1836 and the SEPA Guidelines,
I find no Ordinance which allows you to request this type .of information.'
Referring to WAC 197-10-330 Threshold Determination Procedures. Information a
In Addition to Checklist (1)(a) reads as follows:
-(2) The applicant may be required to, furnish further information. The
additional information shall be limited to the subjects on the !`
environmental checklist."
i
This is further backed up by WAC 197-10-360 Threshold Determination Criteria -
Application of Environmental Checklist (1). The last -sentence reads as.
follows:
"The questions contained in the environmental checklist are exclusive,
and factors not listed in the checklist shall not be considered in the I
threshold determination."
Since your form is refering to additional "Environmental" information it
e SEPA re ualtions or City Ordinanaces.
seems to have no basis in th g
Therefore, Group Four is submitting this data under protest as an unrequired
and unsubstanciated request for data that is almost all included in our
Environmental Checklist explanations. If you need Group Four to relist all
the data in the checklist, it might be appropriate to include as a
requirement under your City Statute and have your City Attorney review this
point.
