Page Two of Two
In
September 1992, the responsible
SEPA official
issued a Mitigated
Determination of Non Significance
as follows:
1.
Make the project comply with
school impact
fee ordinance when
one is passed;
2.
Require Best Management Practices for
the treatment of
stormwater;
3.
Upgrade Poplar Street;
4.
Establish a wetland buffer,
after a study
is completed.
FINDING: The City's responsible SEPA official required project proponent to
submit an Environmental Checklist. After review of the checklist a
Mitigated Determination of Non -significance was issued to provide
the city the authority to require development to meet the more
stringent current requirements for wetlands, erosion control,
stormwater, Poplar Street road infrastructure needs and potential
school impact fees.
CONCLUSION: Based on testimony, facts and findings the Port orchard SEPA Board
of Appeals does hereby deny the Suquamish Tribe appeal.
PASSED by the City Council of the City of Port Orchard, APPROVED by
