The pmposal whicta is located in the Spokane Valley cQnsists of 460 housirrg units including attached and detached units. A Deteraninativn of 5igrsi~'icar►ce (DS) and scoping notice was issued fvr the prvject an Apri130, 1993. A public scoping meeting was held vn May 14,1993 which was attended by are.a residents and representati►res fmm interestel agenGies. Based vn cornments rae.ceived at the scoping meeting and letters receiVed during the scaping perivd, the scope of the EIS was revised and a Final Scoping Nvtice was issued on June 10, 1933. A1sa, based mn camments received during the scoping process, the projecti design was anodifiei by realigning Rvtchford i]rive, the major narthlsouth road thrvugh rhe site. I'he oritginal Rotchford I?rive alignnrnent shvweci Ratchfvrd Drive intersecting with 4th Avenue ae Cannery Raad vvhich is not a through stareet to Sprague AWenue. The new alignment shaws Rotchfard I]rive int.ersecting 4th AVenue at Gnnklin Rvad. Conlclin Road does cvnnect to Sprague A►+enue. This roadway design change also msulted in an increase in the size of the multipPe family area and a decrease in the sia,e of rhe single family residential area within the proposai. T'he total numter of hvusing units prapased increaseci from 406 units to 460 units. Key issues addressed by the doE:.aunent incIude preservativn ar►d impmavement of wildlife habirat and transpnrtation impacts. A note worthy transportativn issue is the Planned Smuth Valey Arterial which is currently planned as an eastfwest liniited aocess arterial tfl be located vra railroad right of way between the site and Sgrague Avenue.

The remaining area wpuld ' remain zaned 11R-3.5 and Suburban Residentia€-1 45R-1y. A Planned Unit Developrnent (PU~) overlay with bvnus density is prnpvssd for the en#ire sFte, allowing develap ment ' of 459 cesidential dwelling units. A di►►ersity of hausing types wpuld be pra►►ided - including 195 multi-famiEy units, 68 manufactured hrrmes vn platted IQtS, 7 58 conventiorral hvmes on small Iots, and 38 large lot siragle-famiiy hnmes. The PUfl prapvsed v►+ould create a fairly private residential community encompassing a varie#y of parcel sizes and hnusirig densities thrnugh the pradision af clustered ia#s. , The PUD averlay will also provide suhstantial arsas designated as open space. The Qroject site contains sensitiVe are,as such as Shelley Lake and its assaciated wetlands+ sloped areas, arad wildlife habitat. By utilizing a PU❑ cvncept these areas can be , protected, enhanced, and managed to cantrvl and lirnrit further degradation and actually improve existing cvnditians. The prupvsal's vbjectives are summariaed in the fallowing statements: • peyelap a planned residential cnmmunity that is compatible with the surrnunding neighborhovd. • FroVide substantial apen s,pace areas to protect and enhance the site's sensiti►►e features. + Enhance the wifdli#e habitat areas a55QCI3ted with Shelfey Lake and 5alte5e Creek to promvte their ongaing health and viabilrty. • M'rnimiie off-site impacts caused hy prvject deVelopment and increased pvpulad'rDn nn-5ite. • Provide a density transition between the rnulti-family units and smaller manufacturecf hame Imts to the narth and the larger nearly one acre lats to the sauth. • F'rovide a aariety af housing appartunities rQ meet a grvwing markec demand. • Provide paved rvads and through cQnnectians and minimiae off-site rvad impacts. • ProUide an aesthetically pleasing envirDnment whgch will enhance the SfteIley Lake Dreft ~ Fe6ruary 1994 $d1'acent neighbDrh Ioods. ~ Provide restriciive covenants and cantrois tnat assure quality cantrol of architectural consitleratirans, landscaping and maintenance, place restrfctions nn dorn~stic pets and liyestock keeping, and assure rultimate pratection of the en~varnnment. _ • F'rovide a re5iden#iaf community where residents can live in elvse proximity ta #he naturar enviranment, yet restriet their activities to respect the needs ai wildlife sharing the site. • Minimize conflic#s with wifdlife hsbitat whale praviding praject residents vvith on-site recreatiional vppvrtunities. ~ Promate awareness regarding the site's sensitive features by prvviding educativnal rna#eriafs to residents vutlining effvrts cpncernirrg protectian and enhancement qf these features. . I PR9POSED AGTION The proposed site is 102.8 acres ~af undevelvped land and 27 acres of surface water (Shelley l,ake) tatatling 923.8 acres. The site is Inca#ed in the Spokane Valley, apprpximately 1,300 feet east of ISullivan Ro,ad and approximately 600 feet south nf Sprague Avenue. A PLJD plat af 459 residential dwelling units is proposed with a rezvne af 14 acres ta U R-12. 7he msjurity af the site wfluld remain zaned UR-3.5 and SR-1. Bvnus density is applied tv ~the llR-7 2 and SR-7 ranes. The site is in the LJrban and Suburhan4 + 1 categories a# the Caunty's Camprehenssve Land Use Plan. The Urban category ca11s far residential densities betvveen vne and 17 units per acre. 'Fhe Suburban( + ) category calls for residential densities of between vne and fiVe acres per dwelling unit. The averalF site derisity prv,posed is 3.7 unmts per acre, with propased d81151tI@5 peP ZOn1ng CIa551fiCatlo11 aS fpIIQ1N5: UR-3.5 at 2.30 Ic]t5 per aCre; 5R-1 8t 2.09 Ivts per acre; and UR-12 at 13,93 units per acre. ~ The propasal includes a density transition between the mufti-family units-and smaller manufactured home In#s an the nartFo and the larger one-half to nearly one acre hvts . on the svuth. Open space is designated for 37.9 acres tv provide buffer areas arad pratectiDn fvr ihe lake sr~d Safiese~ Creek shoreline areas, slopes, drainage areas, and wild1ife habitat areas vn-site. Thie prapnsal ineludes plans to enhance tFae existing ' Flabltat aFes75, while praviding a sQ~ft pedestrian trail system, educatianal rnaterials fv~ residents, ancf designating areas fvr passible fu#ure beachr dack, picnic, and cvmmunity center facilr#iss. A future commuraity center, if propased by the hameowner's assaciatinn, wvufd be lacated within the retrofited fQrmer meat packing facility. Future beachr dack, and picnic #acilities wvuFd be aocated at the northeast corner of the lake, Shelley Lake araft 2 Februery 1994 ~ . , The interrral raad system will consist of acombination of paUed public and pri►rate PUD raads with primary access points at Cvrrklirr Road on the north and Ratchfard ❑riae vn the south. Water and sewer service will !ae praVided by adjacent puhlic systems. , A rnaster stvrm water rnanagement pean will he,prepared ta ad'dress retention of 5torrn water via swales, drywells, and retentianldetention ponds. An area has been designated for development crf a transit stap and shelter vn 4th ►A►renue. REASONABLE ALT~RNA7111E'S . Two alternatiVes tn the proposed action to rezane and develcap Sheliey Lake haVe als❑ been analyaed. ghey include 1) DeveIvpment Under Existing Zvning, and 2) a No- ' Actinn aIternatiae. C3evelopment Under Existing Zoning Alternative ' This aItema#ive would allovv the site to be segregated intv 10,000 square foot parcePs fnr areas roned UR-3.5 and ane acre parcels fvr the 20 acres zvned SR-1. The prvpased rezone tv UR-1 2 and PUD o►rerlay for the entire site would nvt accur. This ` would allow the deVelopment of 225 buildable parcels, slightly less than half the 459 units proposed. Urrder this alternative roadway connectioras could occur at Shamrock and GaIway Streets, Rotchford ❑riVe, and 4#h Avenue, increas#ng traffic cvunts on all v# the5e roads. QII roadways would he develaped to pub'Iic standards. There would ae less demand for pubfic services than fvr tfne prvposed actiare alternative due to fewer residents being introduced into the area. Fewer people would resuft in less traffic, schoal chitrfren, and lower amaunts Qf irnper►rivus surfaces, 'INithaut the PUD oVerlay there would be less area designated as npen space, affording Eess protection ta sensitiVe features and habitat areas. No enhancement of vuildlife habitat areas would accur and there would he no additional restrictions on their use. ~ A homeuwner's assvciativn would not likely be farmed, eliminating the restrictiVe cvyenants proposed coratrolling aesthetic and wildlife impacts, 1~o educativnal vr recreatianal vpportunities would be provided. No-Actian AlternatiVe This alternative would #otatly preclude any develapment of tlhe prvject site. Exzsting conditions would rematn an-gaing. The pvsitive impacts on wildlife habitat areas discussed as part of the Propvsed Action would not occur. Recreativnal and educatiarwal oppvrtunities wautafi not he provided. There ts nv public henefi# provided by delaying nr precluding residential development of tFae srte. Urban ssrvices and road cannections are availahle but would not hs proVided to the site, Shelley Cake praft 3 ' Febrvary 1994 ALrERNA~IVEs CaNSIDFREQ During the scoping process and preparation of this dvcument, severaf alternatives regarding site road design and access were identified and eliminated far variaus reasons. These were determined to be incansis#encies with the sponsor's vbjective to create a priuate community, area resident's desires to rninimiie traffic-thrnugh iheir n$ighborhvmd 4Rotchford Acresy, prablems associated with acquiring right-v#-way Qutside the plat boundary, and difficulties in deVetvping rvads in areas with geolpgic _ and hydraZogic cvnstraints. Fn general, xhe artsrnatiaes evaluated and rejected cvnsisted of t~~ follawing Ftems: • ThroUgh CaI1f1@CfiQRS at tWD poltlt to the eaStBrn pCqperty bDUndariBS (4th AVBt19.iB aftd RfJBd "N") • Two through cannectians in the southem portion of the plat (Shamrack and Galway Streets), in atlditian to the prop4sed cannection at RatchfQrd Drive ~ Extension vf a new rvad autside plat baundaries from Ro#chford DriVe west to Sullivan Road aIvng the 6th Avenue afignrnent • Tem,p4rary thraugh cannection to S,prague AVenus r►ia Conklin Etvad ~ Public rvads in thee svuthern pvrtion of ihe praposed plat and eliminating tFae PUD vverlay zone in this Suburban Resrdential JSR-1) zaned area. NATURAL EW'I,IIRQNMENT 1.0 vllatsr Shelley Lake's fairly steep sides, g I ravelly soil types, limited visibility, and high degr$e of water level fluctuations haVe all eontributed to its Iack af aquatic Vegetativn. The Gurrent v►+ater quality has been degraded by up-stream and prsssibfy nn-site agricultural ; practices. Fertilizers and pesticides haVe artificialfy increased raitrvgen and phosphvru5 levels. Peat mining operatians in tF'ie Saites$ Flats have added substantially to arganic _ particulate matter inflvvr►, which when decamposed depletes dissolved oxygera suppliss. Anaerobic Canditions have Fed to fish kills, reduced visibilityf and adars. The addit+an flf imperioUS surfaces will change the directinn and speed of vn-site surface water. If nnt managed properly the removal of undesirahle vegetation and disruption af sail cvufd add to the amaunt of cvntaminants and sediment reaching the lake. Vegetative buffer5 and retention ponds will slow or cnntain excessive run-off, preventing it fram reaching the lake. Design pararraeters establish setbacks that,pface develv,ped portions vf the site at Ieast 50 feet vr more upsiape from the Iake's shvrel'rne area. Large anironal-keeping will not be allawed. F'rofessianal water quality sampling will be cnmpleted prior to initiating future patential lake management ' techniques, if propvsed by the hmrinevwner's assaciativn, which may include: Shelley Leke Draft I 4 Februsry 1994 ■ reducing upstrearri sources andloraccumulation of organic particulate matter.

The projecd will camply rrvith $fi the pvlicies and requirements of the Shoreline Master P'rQgram. The majority of the site is zoned UR-3.5, with approximately 20 acres zoned 5R-1. A zflne change to UR-1 2 fo r 14 aGres currently zoraed U R-3.5 is prnposed, with a PUD vverlay for the entire prvject site. Banus density wnuld apply to the UR-1 2 and SR-7 zvnes. The zpne change ta UR-1 2 wpuld allow develppment of multF-fam'r!y units on - the narthwest corner of the site. C Banus Density Points haVe been earned by designing the PUD tv make special provisians for cAmmon open space, enviranmental concerns, pubfic 5eir►►ice and facility aaaiiabifity, using a design team F and providing a m'rx of huusing types. With the propvsed zoning and F'Ua oVerla~ with bvnus density, the aIlawable number of lots could canceivably be 672, althaugh only 459 are prvposed i If prvposed under e3CI5tlflg zoning with nv PU[3 averlay or bvnus density, only 385 Eots woufd be allawed. The existing and prapased aones are cansistent with the Ur4an and 5uburban{ categvries of the County's GQmprehensiWe Land llse Plan. Restractive covenants will cantrnl the aesthetic appearance of haomes and will ensure a safe enjoyable living envirvnment. A phasing schedufe anticipates an eight-ta ten- year build aut, with approximately 50 lots developed per year. A professiana4 aschaevlogical svrvey wa5 completed for the project site and included a records search and field survey. No significant cultural resvurces were fvund and therefare no impacts are expected tfl occur. Should a potential cultural resource be discvvered, on-site cvnstruction wrill halt until a professional evaluation of the resource can be comQleted. 2.0 Transpvrtatian Several new Cvunty raads are prvpvsed to be developed within the proJect site, The only cvnnection to the southern street termini will be via Rvtchford Drive, whiCh will bQ extended into the plat #a tie directly ira#o Conklin Aoad, fihe intersection of 4th Avenue and Canklin Road will be reconstruc#ed so that 4th Avenue will make acurve to the svutheast arad tie inta Cvnklin Road at a90-degree angle. Primary ingress and egress will be via Cvnklin Raad nvrthlsou#h ta 5prague Avenue. Amendment of the Caunty Arterial Road Plan to allo►Yrv an intersectinn at CorrkPin Rvad with the South Valley Arterial will be pursued. No thraugh cannectian wil1 be prvvided by this project tQ Steen Rsad. AII roads wilf he paved and de►veloped to County Engineers standards. Rotchford DriVS wilC be the only public raad within xhe plat. The majvrity ❑f the roads wilf be cvnstructed to privade PUU road standards. The ,plat will be develvped in phases, ►Mith 5$ uni#s completed by 1955 (Phase 1) and the remarning 407 units completed by 2000 (Phase 2). A traffic analysis was Shelley Leke Draft 6 . Febrt►ary 1994 ~I prepared ta address traffic generat+an, levels of service, and the need far impravements tn mitigate impacts. At full build out there would be a prvjected 3,750 vpd, with ap,proximately 283 o4M peak hDur tcips and 375 PM peak hnur trips. The Iargest pea'k hour generated traffic vccurs in the PM when 246 vpd will be entering the site. The follnwing conclusions are dacumented within the Traff ic Ana4ysis inctuded in Appendix E. • By 1995 with present background Vvlumes all study area intersectians will operate within acceptable levels of senrice, 5ullivan and Sprague (LOS D), SulliVan and 4th (Lp5 E), 5prague and Cvnklin (LOS C), and Suffivan and 7 6th (LOS E). Althvugh these intersectinns are currently nn the margins, - there is capacity for additianal westbound and nvrthbaund moVemen#s. • Should the oVerall deuelopment and grQwth of ihe area be maintained at ~ nearly 3,0 percent, two of these intersections are expected tv fail priar ta development of this project; aullivan and 4th 4LO5 F1 and SuIliVan and 16th (LOS F). Thss i5 due to westhound to nmrthhvund le#ts and higher through VDlUITIBS. •►a►fter the campletian of F'hase 1, aII study intersectians are expected ta ~ remain at the same hackgraund IeVeI of ser►vice as projected. Zhis does nQt mean that this develapment wiil nmt add additianal ►rehicles to the transportatian system, only that ihe intersectivns fur 1995 haue the LOS capacityr for the increase in background traffic and the development of Phase 1. • With the campletian of full build Qut of Phase 2 by 2004, several intersectians will need imprvrrements to allow the volume of anticipated traffic to pass at reasonable levels of sen►ice. SulliUan and Sprague, due to the design of the plat directing trips to 5prague via Conkfin during the PM peak hQUr (by adding BO -9C3 Isft turns from this praject, added t4 the 1995 expected 420 existing PIVI peak hour left turns), will be pushed beyvnd it5 capacity ta serve left turres. Additianally, the 5prague and Cpnk'lin intersection during the PM peak hvur will drap ta an LO5 of E1F, with LQS E h+sing the minimum standard for an unsignalized intersectian. AIthaugh the add4tivn of 58 single-farnily homes in Phase 7 and assvc'rated traffic will eo ntri'hute to the existing tra#tic currently us i n g the SulliVan Raad and Sprag ue ►4venue corridars, the anly impact wilt be that towards #he cumulatiVe average daily traffic valumes. The prpposed develvpment wbll nvt have any significant impact to levels of service through the deuelapment of Phase 1. Spokane County has identified level of service as the indicatar fvr problerns assvciated with development and, therefare, based salely vn LO5 this project ►ivill ha►re no i€npact. However, subsequent development of this plat in conjunction wlth development in and araund this area will require the imprvverraent of severa1 streets and roads within this generati' area of Spokane Cvunty. A# the request of the Spvkane Tcansit Authority, a future transit 5helley Lake L)raft 7 February 1994 stop and shelter area has afso bG-en resenrsd. This area is lacated on the south side of 4th Avenue, sdfacent tv the pro pased multi-family area, just west of Cannery Road. At the cnmpletian of Phase 2 a traffic signal may be warranted at the cntecsectian of 5prague Avenue and Conklirr Fioad. This si9nal wvuld be necessitated by a cnmbination of factvrs including the cflntinued area developrnent and grov+rth exc[usive of the Shelley Lake project and tFae addat+ara of the 5he'lley Lake ►volucraes. Hvwever, this signah should be instalied when this intersectian meets at least four warrants fnr signalizativn, as outlined in the Manual of llniform Traff ic Contrvl Devices (MUTCD). In additivra ConkFin Road from 4th AVenue nvrth tv Sprague AVenue will be cvnstructed to Spokane County caliectar arterial standards which include a 40-faot raadv►ray section with curbs, gutterse and sidewa[ks. Due ta the nurnber of proposed deVeloQments along the Sullivan RQad cvrridar, it is uncl$ar whether develvpment of the proposed actian wauld require the imprflvements recommended due to de►►elapment of this praject aIvne. With the vther praposed developments along the 5u11ivan road cnrridvr, these improvements are recammended and required in some instances tb allaw through traffic progressiorr. Hvwever even with the dev+efo,pment of the Sullivan Road corridor, the develvpment of Phase ti' can be impieme nted withaut hau'rng a'significant impact on the QVerall a rea transpartatian system. ~ 3.0 Puhlic Services An additianal 459 residences will Ibe added ta the responsibility of Oistrict No, 5 of the Caundy Sheriff's Department. The added populatian will irrcrease #he number of people requiring ser►►ice and the number of crimes cammitCed. Project design makes Rotcfafvrd i]riVe a Collectvr arterial, which places hames aIQng Ro#chford in the 19% potential crime rate categvey with an increase from the currentfy existing rate of 15%. The rate at these hames would be eQual tv tfae vverall aVerage. Nawever the priVate , cQmmunity type of design proposed, which includes nnly twQ acee5s points into the development and perimeter fencing, typica!!y generates less calls for service tFaan the grid type of street design. The d'evelopmerat will not be gated. Many of the upper- incorne hvmes wifl riaVe resources tn install individual security systems. The fvrmatinn of 81pck Watches will be encouraged. . AppcQximately 274 school children are projected at full build aut of 459 residences. The rncrease will be gradual based on an eight-to ten-year development with approximatefy 30 new studenxs per year. Adams Eleimentary and Creenacres Junior High are nearing capacity and will be impacted by the additian of new students from this an~d vtheT cesider~tial develvpments. There is adequate capacity at Cen#ral Vailey Hig'h. HaweVer Schvaf D'rstrict Nf'a, 356 needs to complete their existing expansion plans and requests that the develvper negotiate a voluntary agreement tn help rnitigate the proposal's impact nn public schvvls. The new residences wili increase the demand for park space and facivities, wEth mvst Shelley Lake Oreft 8 Februa.y 1994 ~ of the impact vccurring an vrganized sports fiacilities. Develvpment of the site will preclude 5he!!ey Lake's acquisition by the Gounty'Parks Department as recommended - in their 1989 Plan.

This proposed action would allovv the develvpment of 459 new residential dwelling unrts and provide substanfiial open space areas thraugh the praVisivn of clustered lots. The prvject site cvntains sensitive areas such as Shelley Lake and its assvciated v+retlands, slaped areas, and wildlife ha'bitat. Develapment of the project site by utiiizing a PlJ[3 cvncept can prvtect, manage, and erahance these sensitive areas. The prvject site is Ioeated in the 5pokane Valxey, apprcaximately 1,300 feet east of Sullivan Road and approximately 600 feet south of 5prague AVenue (see Figure 1).

Ivts will include a mixture of hpusing #ypes including 68 manufactured homes vn ptatted Ivts in the northern area of the site, 158 cmnventional homes arr small lots arvund Shelley Lake, and 38 large j lots ora the site's southern partion. The proponend's abjective is #a create a fairly priVate residential cammunity on a site that is currently und+evelaped, with a variety of parcel sires ranging frarn apprvximatel y 6,000 square feet ta 41,000 square feet, and appraximately 37.9 acres of operr space. The v►►erali site density proposed is 3.7 units per acre. Prapased densities per zoning classi€ication are as fnllows: UR-3.5 at 2.90 iots per acre,• SR-1 at 2.09 Iots per acre; and UR-7 2 at 13,93 units per acre. The minimum lot siae for the UR-3.5 zane rrvith a PUD v►reraay is 6,000 square feet, with an averaEl maximum density of 3.5 dwetling units per acre.

The minimum lot s9ze fvr the UR- 12 zone with a PUD overlay is 800 square feet, with an averall rnaximum density of 72 dwelling units per acre. These maximum densities can be exceeded through application of banus density praVisions. A total of 1.95 units per acre of bonus density cara he earned with the proposed PL1D design and appPies to each zone CIaS51fICatiQn.

SHELLEY LAKE PRELIMINARY PU[1 PLAT a EIVYIR{7NMENTAL 1MRACT STATEMENT ~ ~ 1 1 I1. 14EASDNr4BLE .4l TERNA T111FS 7wo alternatives to the pcoposed activn to rezvne and derrelvp ShelleY La1ce are afso given consideratian. They include. 1) mevelvpment Under Existing Zoning, and 2) aNo-Actian aIternative. The folYowing is a general discussion af irnpacts regarding these twv aIteznatives. 7.0 DEVELOPIVIENT UNDER EXISTING ~ONING ~ If the prvject site was allowed to deVelap under the existing zvning, the propased rezone to U Fi=12 (Urban Residential-12) and PUfl vverlay far the s ite wo uld not accur. The site v►rauld remain zoned lJR-3.5 4Urban ResidentEal-3.5y and SR-'R (Suburban Residential-1 This wauld allaw the site to be segregated into 70,000 square faot minimum qarcels far areas zvned UR-3.5 and one acre minirnum parcels far the 20 acres zvned 5R-1. Maximum densities for these areas are three and one-haI# dweiling units per acre (11R-3.5) and arre dwelling undt per acre (5R-1). p conceptual layaut plan fvr develvpment under existing zoning using these densities is presented as ; Figure 4. fihis aIternative wvuld aElow the develapment of 225 huildable parcel5 nn the site, slightly less than half of #he 459 units proposed. This lawer density wauld rna5# likely result in lower quantities af imperViaus sur€aces than that propnsed, due to the , developmen# af fewer housing structures. HaweVer this alternative wovld be deuelaped with all pub'lic roads, which are wider than ihe mnstly private raads included in the Propvsed Actian altematiVe. If there sre Imwer quantrties of impervious surfaces, then less stQrm water run-off would be generated by this alternatiVe. Hov+vever a master coordinated storm water management plan for the entire deVelapable area may not be prepared or implemented: This type Qf pfarr will ensure that storm water run-Qff and cvntaminants da ~not discharge to the lake from surraunding urban areas. qf the property vvere to he subdiVided, the applicabIe standard from the County's 5hvrelirae Program is a 2[]0-foot strvcturai setback unIess a 5ubstantia9 QeVelvpment Permit is +ohtained. 1f the land were to be segregated Via exemption fram the subdiVision regulations RCW 58.17, then vnly a 50-foot setback from the ardinary high water mark would be applicable. DeVelopment under existing zvning could include roadway coranections at the existing termini at 5hamrnck and Gaiway Streets, RQtchford arive, and 4#h Averaue, This - would increase traffic caunts an these roads and impact agreater number af residents in the adjacent Rofchford Acre Tracts to the svuth. Hvwever these roadway connectians wvuld tend to disperse traff ic thraughvut the resideratial area rather than concentrating traffic on Ratchfard Drive. AISD less tatal trips per day would be generated fram #he site with only 225 residences instead vf the propQSed 459. All roads wvuld be developed to public rather than mastly pri►►ate roadway standards. Shelfey Lake Oraft EIS 18 Febrerary 1994 There would be less demara[i farl pubfic services in this area due to the decreased number of dwelling units and assnciafied population. With sparser deveEvpment, the schoo4s serving the site would have less demand pfaced on them far edvcatianal services. However the schvol district would still need to provide bus service tv this arsa ta accamrraadate the relatively few children needing transportativn to and fram schao1. There would alsa be less demand fvr pvlice and fire fighting senrices due ta the Ivwer pvpulation levels. The increased number of transportativn access points would decrease response times to the site. Lower popu'latian le►rels than those prvposed with ths zvne change and PUD aVerlay would at first appear tv result in less disturhance #o wifdlife and habitat areas. Howewer wsthout the pruv+sivns vf aPU❑ overlay zane, there would be 1ess area designated as Qpen space, affording Iess pratectian tQ sensitive habitat areas. In additian there may be fsw provisimns regarding future develapment of these areas and n+o site specific restrictiVe cavenants ta govetn their use. ►4 well cavrdinated plan for weed contrnl alvng the lake's shareline rciay not be implemerated. A wildlife habitat enhancement program would nat be developed and there would nat be any coardinated effart to imprave the water quafity or sta4ilize water quantities within Shelley Lake. The develaprnent under existing zoning alternati►►e may nvt include the forrnation of a horr+eawner's associativn or restrictiVe covenants. This ►ivvuld ae.sthetically impact the area by not goverraing paint and fence colars, 1kypB5, and lacativns. There would be no perirraeter fencing ar herms with landscaping creating a private community feeling and increasing security. There may be rav cavenants guiding 6andscapirag practices with wildlife habitat nesds zn rrtiincE ar preVenting disruption by domest+c animals. Large animal-keepin$ co ulId alsn be allawed because it is permitted within the SR-'I zane. There would be na coardinated educational pragram targeting area cesidents concerning the svte's sensitiv$ enVironmsnts. RecreativnaF opportunities would be limited with this alternatiWS. No trail system, community center, swimming bea~ch, or picnic area would t~e provided. The d':versity in housing oppvrdurritres would he Ivst with mmplementatian caf this alternative. 2.0 iVa-►4CTI+ON ALTERIVATIVE The No-ACtion Alternative would to#ally precl'ude any deVelapment of the praject site. Existing cnnditions would essentially remain vn-going, including current agricultural prvductivn. T'here would not be any impact ~o public serVices if the praperty did nat deveFvp. Additavnal schvol capacity, busing, and fire and police proteCtAon services would nat be required. Utility and roadway extensions 4nto and thrQUghau# #he site would nat vccur. There wauld be na iracrease in ❑ff-site traffic generated by development af the sRte. The lack of fire hydrants would result in fess water a►railable at the site fvr fire fig'hting purpases. 1 Shelley Lake Dratr F!S 19 Re6ruery 1934 ~ There would be nn additianal impervious surfaces added to the site. 5torm water run- Qff generatifln would remain unchanged, hnwever existing impacts ta Shelley Lake that may be caused by agricultvral prvduct run-aff ti.e. pesticides, Faerbicides) would cvntcnue. The pasitiae impacts on vvildli#e and Kvifdlife habitats ❑u#1ined as part af the Prapvseti ~ Activn wo uld not acc ur. The lake waufd continue its witle water level fluctuatians and ' would probahiy cflntinue ta be severely impacted by suspected upstream land rase acti►►ities. Nv coordinated e'ffvrt would take place to manage the existing vvater quality and quantaty of Shelley Lake, which would subs'tantially impva►re its fishery resvurces, aegetative and wildlxfe species diversity, recreativn potential and aesthetic appeaf, as wel1 as imprQve the waters fnr aquifer recharge. However, the lack af people would remoVe any potential far encroachment on existing wildlife and ' vegetative communitie5. The recreativnaE opportunities iracluded in the Propased Action alternative would nat be pravided. AcGess to the site is currenily restricted by the praperty vwners and no permitted recreatiQnal appartunities take place on-site. The lack of residential ' de►relapment wvutd contin ue the passibility of future purc hase by the Spokane Gaunty Parks Department, as outlined in their future acquisitinn plans. However there is a severe lack of funding fvr park prvperty acq,uisition and additivnal funds would be ~required for property maintenance and water quality improvements. If park acquisition were tv occur, County improvements may rrvel6 be limited compared ta thvse prnpvsed by this project. Hnwever, recreatianal apportunities at the site would be available #or use by all County residents. There is nv public benefit prv►rided by delaying Qr precfuding residential develapment of the praject site. Ucban services are available an adjacent pro,perties and the prapased proJect would provide rvad cvnnections and urban serVices #o the area. Additional pubiic benefit would 4e pra►►ided by improving the quality af the lake and proWiding long-term protectian to the wetlands areas. The site's sensitive habitat areas would be enhanced and maintained ihrvugh the hameawners association. ShelleY Lake Draft E15 20 February 1994 , ~ ~ ~ ~ , ,I l M. AL TERIVAT1VES CONSIDEJ4ED " During the scoping process and preparativn vf this environrnent impact statement, severaf alternatives regarding site road design and access were identified. The project sponsor rejeGted these aIternatives hecause they are incvnsistent with prvject abjectiaes, as wve2l as with comments received #rvrts neighbQrhond residents and the general public during the scoping period. These afternatives were determined to ttave several flaws including economic feasibility, problems associated with acquiring right- - af-way vutside the plat boundary, difficufties in deue1aping roads in areas with geolagic and hydralogic consttainis, incvnsistency witfi the sponsvr's goal of providing a private residential cammunity, and incansistency with the desires of ad'jacent residents to preaent addifivnal traffic thrvugh their neighbvrhvod. The alternatiyes eliminatad from further analysis are described in general form belaw, including identification of the flaw or flaws. ' Road pN" Eartensfon - Road "N" as presented during scaping wvuld be a thraugh extension vf a public road to the east property lsne. This road vvould line up with the parcel finss af the certificate of exemptions which have been previously approVed on praperty adjacent to the east af the proposed plat, fihis alternatiVe was rejecte+d and the site road design was revssed due to ihe lack of any future roadway connectians to the east of the project site. The vnly pvtential roadway conneetiara to the east wQUld be a carnnection to Steen Road, whic'h is a northlsvuth lacal access road that termEinates south of Sprague Avenue. ❑ue to the existirng tvpvgraphic reiief flf the area, extensian af Raad "N" frvm the eastern plat bgundary to 5teen wfluld prove to be difficutt and expensive. The Arterial Road Plan identifies intersectiQns at one-mile interVals in assvciativn with the future cvnstruction of the 5outh Valley Arterial. Steen Road is on the three quarter-miie and, in arder Xa 4e cvnsistent with tFae Ar-terial iRaad Pian, trattic would iikely use 4th pvenue #o cannect from Steen to Flora Road where the intersectiDn with the 5outh Valley Arterial is planned. . 4th Avenue Extens►vn - This alterrrative v►►nu4d require extending 4tFr AVenue as a co1lector arteriaf straight through the p6at to ths east pro,perty line, for future connectivn to Steen and Flora Roads. As with the Rvad "N" Extension, this alternative is determined to haVe se►reral prablems. Any extension of 4th Avenue east af the site would be expensive due to high engineering and constructivn cvsts. A gravel pit exists nvrth of Shelley Lake and east of the site in the path af the 4th Avenus a'lignment. Extensian of 4th Avenue to the easi to cannect to Steen and Flara Rnads wnuld likely necessitate canstruc°tion of 4th Avenue araund the narth side af the grave1 pit. The gravel pit is cannect+ed to Saltese Cree'k by a drainage channel and acts as an emergency overflvw far Saitese Creek and Shelley Lake. The drainage channeti and grawel pit need to be presen►ed as o►rer#law outlets far the future as required by 5pakane Caunty Engineering staff, The gravel pit must be considered in any extension af 4th Avenue to the east vf the p1at. Shelley Lake Draft EIS 21 February 1994 i 11 I II 6th Avenue Ex#ensfon - This alternative vvQUld require extending a new rvad, vutside plat houn[faries, from RotchfoRd Drive west to Suflivan IRaad. This raad would be along a prvpvsed alignrnent within praperty currently vwned by the Central Vafley School District. Although this alternative cauld prQVide an additional eastlwest acce5s paint to SulliVan - Aaad, there are several problems assvciated ►with it, The first prablem is that access to this patential right-af-wray would ha►ve to be vbtained frorn the Centraf Valley - Schaal District, as the property 4 is owned by the aistrict and lies outside of the preliminary plat hvundary. Secondly, alihvugh a new access to Sullivan cauld reduce the number of wehicaes utilizing 4th Avenue, additivnal eight trurns from fitfn AVenue onta Sullivan vvovld reduc8 gaps' in traffic at the 4th AVenue inxersection, further degrading the flperatfan af the 4th AVenualSullivan Aoad intersectian. Adciing additivnal traffic an 5uliivan Rvad ~,would alsvfurther degrade aperatian af the 5ullivan EtoadlSprague Avenue intersectian. Canklin Road Te►nporary Cvnnaction - This alterrrative cansists caf a tempQrary thraugh cannection to Sprague Avenue via Conklin Road, with na direct access to the Svuth IJailey Arteria'!. Thfs alternative is consistent with #he Arterial Road Pian since Gonklin Rvad does nat iie at the ane-mile intsnval as identified in the Plan. During #he scoping process seVeral pvssible alternatives were evaluated for impravemenLs to Sulliuan Road. Une af these o,ptions invvlved utilizing Cflnklin Road as a temporary relief for praject trips having to acce5s Sulliyan Road. This connection to 5prague wauld be remnved by installatian vf a cul-de-sac follawing construction of the fiu#ure South Valley Arterial, as the existing Campre hensiVe Plan dves not identify an intersectian at the ane-half mil;e at Conklin Road. Sased an ser►eral recent studie5 af the SulliVan Road and Sprague Avenue cvrridors, for traffic within this general area to adequately aGcBSS SprBgUe 14YenuB, an additional link east of $ullirran Fioad wilk need to be prvuided. Studies that were provided to the Cvunty indicated that any new residential traffic, as well as any existing re5idential traffic, that cvuld be remoVed frorn the Sullivar~ Road corridar and rauted directly to 5prague Avenue will help 5ullivan, not only in the short term but alsv in the long term. _ Therefore, cvnsidering the high costs for recvnstructing the 4th AVenue and SuIliVan Raad interseCtion, the 5pvnsor's preferred alternative for this profect is #o directly access Sprague Avenue and the future Sou&h'Va[ley prter€al. Any temparary through ccannectian to Sprague Avenue was rejected by the sponsor since a#emporary cvnnection wauld nvt prouide Ivng term relief for Surliuan Raad. T'he alternatrve of providing an easterly cvnnection to 5teen and Flvra Rmads wvuld be expensive and beyand the sponscar`s contrvl and the scape af this prnject. Shamrock Str+e►ei Extension - This alternatiVe would require exter~ding 5hamrock Street narth from #he existing terri~porary cul-de-sac within the Rotchfvrd pcres plat directly intv the Sheiley La'ke plat and cannecting to Road "N." SheJley Cake I7raft E15 22 Fehruary 1994 The preliminary p1at exhihits presented at #he scvping heaEing showed this connection - tv Road "GV." During the scoping hearing, County presentation and testimvny indicated that the primary through connection between the twa plats wvuld be the Ratchfard DriVe and Conklin Road connectivn, with potential access at Sharnrock 5treet pro►►iding a secondary connection poirat. 5ubstantial public testimony re►►atVed arourad this issue, ►nrith canraments indicating that na connection wvuld be desirable to the res4dents in the Ratchfard Acres plat. Therefvre, the connection of 5harnrack Street to Road "N" was rerinoved. However ta irnpraue northlsauth circulatinn east af Sullivan Rvad, tFre Ganklin Road and Rvtchfard Drive connection was maintained. The extensian of Shamrack Street thrvugh the prvject to connect to Road "N" wvu4d haVe the effvct af dis,persing traffic in the area, thershy reducing traffic vn Rotchford Driue and impraving neighborhood cnntinuity in the area. The spvnsar's goal of creating a priVate community as wefl as area residents' desires ta pre►►ent additianaf traffic an residential streets wauld be negative irrspacted by this alternative~ ~ Gafway ,5tree# Extension = This alternati►te wvuld require extending Galway atreet north from the existin g tempvrary cul-de-sac within the Rotc hfard Acres plat direc#ly inta the Shelley Lake plat and corwnecting to Rvad "N." This aption was n9t presented in the preliminary plat exhibits at the scvping hearjng. As stated abvVe, during the scvping hearing Caunty presentatinn and testimvny indicated that the prirnary thrvugh connection between the twa plats wvuld be #he Rvtchford Drive and Canklin Raad cannectivn. Substarstial pubiic testimony revolved araund this issue, with comments indicating that no connection wvuld be desirable to the residents in the Rotchford Acres plat. The effect vf this optivn is similar to the extensian af Shamrock Street discussed aboVe. This additivnal rmad connection wauld aIlaw for greater dispersal vf traffic in the neighharhvvd and Iess traff ic cvncentratian vn Rntchford ❑riue, and may result in a mnre cohesive neighborhood. Addit9anal road connections wisi detract from the cancept of creattng a private cmmmunity and vvill nat be consistent with the desires expressed by Ftotch#vrd Acre Tract residen#s tn prevent additional traffic in their neighbnrhoad. Re-classlfying Road "I11." Shamrock Street. Galway 5treet and Cpe►rt °F° as Puhlrc Roeds - This aI#ernative assumes that the previnusly discussed through connections are made tv existing vr future publEc rvads ta the east Via Raad "N" and to the snuth via Shamrack and Gaiway Streets.

The size vf the PUQ area wauld decrease and a private, smaller PU❑ wouyd be developed.

Lake ecvsysterris are camplex and highiy interconnected. In-lake plant praductian usually forms the organic matter base of the lake's fopd web, and mnst lakes require areliable feve1 of aigal and macraphyte praduction ta maintain productive fQod webs tT'he Lake and ReserVoir Res#oratian Cuidance Manual, 1990y. HeaIthy lakes have a faad we b that inValves the flow of energy amarrg itre lake nrganisms and the recycling of nutrients. The process of photosynthesis by aquatic plants prpduces oxygen, which is the primary svurce of dissvlved vxygen in water. C}xygen is required ta sustain fish pvpulativns and is required ta completely break dow►n organic matter. During #he resp9ration process, the bacteria that decompvses drganic matter consumes vxygen and releases carbon dinxide, water, and energy. When incvming water is high in organic rraatter, the bacteria can consurne the lake`s dissvlVed oxygen supply mvre quickly than 3# can he replenished. This can Iead to fish kills, odors, and noxious conditians, and is mast likely a major contributing factar Cv the water quality limitatians of Shelley Lake.

Significant Impacts The current water quality of ShlieEley Lake has been degraded by up-stream and pvssib'ly on-site agricultural practices. '5vil additives such as fertilizers and pesticides _ have artificrallyr increased nitroge In and phosphvru5 levels within the lake. Peat mining aperations in the Saltese Flats haive added substantially to arganic particulate matter inflnw. Decomposi#ion of this vrganic matter has depleted disso1ved axygen supplies. Wi#haut oxygen the decampasitian process is anly partially cQrnple#ed, creating anaerabic condit'rons which haVe, led to fish kills, reduced visibility, and odors. The additipn of impervious surtac,es ta the currently undeaelaped scte will change the directivn and speed of maaement o~ on-site surface water. Also if not managed prvpesly the removaf of Vegetation and disruption of sail during construction co uld add to the amount of contaminates and sediment reaching the lake.

Professivnal water quality sampling and testing would need to be campleted prior to ini#iating potentiaf lake management techniques. Future water qualitylquantity improyernent prdgrams would be at the dFrectivn of the Shelley Lake Hameowner's Association. The Department of Ecalagy was nptified in August 1993 regarding the lake's existing water qua[ity and wifl assRSt inl analyzing ~potential upstream pollution sources. Shelley Cake !)raft EIS ; 30 Fehruary 1994 Applicativra af hest management practices tn remave contaminates frvm tMe streambed at any identified svurce upstream frpm the praject site will be at the clirectfon af Ecology staff. If prvposed by the homeowner's association, asedirnent filtrativn system cvu'Id alsa be established in Sa1tese Creek where it empties inxv - She1ley Lake. This would remave the vrganic particulate matter fram the water befare it reaches the lake. These efforts wvuld reduce the depletian of dissnlved vxygen and , irMprove water Visibility and ctarity, imprnving valuabls aquatic plant production, reducing vdars+ and impraying cvnditivns for viable fisheries populativras. _ AnDther management technique typica!!y used to irtcrease the dissolded axygen cvntent afi lakes is aerativn ar artificial circulation, This tQchnique eliminates thermal stratificatian thrvugFa the injec#iarr af campressed air fram a pipe vr diffuser ai the lake's bvttom. Noxioras algal blvams are alsv controlled by increasing dissalved vxygen levels in the water column. Maintaining a stable water level throughout dha year would create an environment for the estabtishment af emergent and submergent aquatic plants. Increased plant productivity wvuld alsv increase Ievels ❑f dissolved oxygen thrvugh the process of photosynthesis. Maintaining adequate and 5table water leVels cauld passibly accur by increasing inflow frorn Saltese Creek duringi the dry summer months vr pumping addtitianal water intv the lake. Increasing the inflow to Shelley Lake from Saitese Creek would require obtairaing a surface water right fram the Department of Ecology. Application cauld be made for recreatianal, wildfife 'habitat, or aesthetic use and wvuld take ap,proximatefy one and one-haff years to complete. during that time Ecalagy would determine if: • the request is detrimental tv existing water rigFats • additivnal surface water is available far use, and • granting the request would be in the public interest. Due to the existing agricultural use and limited sup,ply during the dry summer mtanths when additional water would be needed in 5helley Lake, there probably is nvt any excess water available in the 5altese Greek drainage (Fa►mer, QOE). Water coufd he imported into the lake by pumping fram the existing vn-site weII. The well log indicates that this welE was cQnstructed in 1556 and nas a yield af 700 gallorns per minute (gpm). Prvperty awners have retaFned a water right fnr irrigativn since the time of well develrrpment. kivwQver, some well water needs to be used this seasan in order tv maintasn the current water right. I# water is raat used within a five year perivd, the vvater right reverts back to the State. An applicatian fvr a change in use to recreation would need to be appraVed in arder tv pump water fcam the w►eII into the lake. The curren°t water right only appfies throughout the irrigation seasan, which wpuld cnrrespand tg the seasonal nesd #ar addix+vnal water in 5helley Lake.

As preViously discussed, at the la'ke's ordinary high water eleVatNOn it has a surface area of 7'I acres and a Valume +~f appraximately 231 acre-feet. As~uming an eight foot drDp in the water IeVel frvm high water in early June to the lawest estimated IeVeI in late summer, results in the loss of approximately 168 acre-feet of water. Therefare it can be estfmated that the on- site well would need tv yietd apprvximately 208 gpm pumping over six months of the year da replace water Cost tv Entiltr'atian and ewaporatRan. If additional water is required for only four months, then the r►vell wvuld need to purnp at a rate of approximately 312 gpm. These pump rates are I estimates oraly and do nat take intv account vavying evapvcatian rates due tv seasanal influenees and hydraulic head pressure changes due to fluctvating water vnlumas. ' ►ylVVfthdrawal of graund water cauld pdten#ia1ly impact grvvnd water leaels, however the pumping rates that may be required by this prvject are substantially I+ess than the 700 gpm rate that was previvusly perm4tted for irrigation use. Therefore applicatian of this managemen# technique would h~ve Isss of an impact or~ ground water supply ievels than formeriy perrnitted.

This assaciatian is ma+de up of svmewhat excessively drained and excessiVely dra`ned sandy and gravelly soils farrned in glaGial outwash. The project site cantains five distinct soil mapping units (GgA, GgB, GmB. StC, and SuE) within the Garrisan and 5pakane series and an abandoned gravel pit area. As shQwn vn Figure S, the rnajority of the site consis#s of Carrison series snils represerated k~y Garrison gravell~r I~ams (Gg►4 and CgB) and Garruson very gravelly loam (GmB). The Garrisan series is ma'tle up of somewhat excessively drained, gravelly ar stvny sails that forrned under grass in glacial outwash mixed in the upper part vvith vnlcanic ash.

The majority of the site 4approximateiy 80 acresf - is cuftivated fields that are currently used for the productinn of hay, fihe existing ,plan& comrrsunittes and faeld edges provide a variety of food, cover, and breedrng habitats fQr wilcilife at the site. Hawever, extensiVe cattle graxing down ta the water's edge has significantfy drsrupted the natural vegetatian and eliminated mvst of the high value natiae habitat atpng the lake's shoreline. The Spakane Cnuraty Soil SurWey indicates the potential ►vegetatio n of the develo,pment site tv be ,primarily bunchgrasses, daminated by bluebunch wheatgrass and Idah❑ fescue. Other grasses wvuld be Sandberg bluegrass, bottlebrush squirreltail, prairie junegrass, anrl Columhia needlegrass. Forbes comprise a lesser portFOn of the site and may include biscuitroot, buckwheat, lupine, lomatium, srrowleaf balsamroat, stfcky geranium, astragalus, cinquefoil, larkspur, yarrow, and phlax. INative shrubs and trees which could be expected to raccur would be distributed in small, scattered clumps and may include snowberry, Rasa woodsii and R. nutkana, chvkecherry, serviceberry, birchleaf spirea, mvckOrange, and ponderosa pine, Wetland areas alang the lake's eastern shnrelwne could be expected to support a wider uariety of woody species including quaking aspen, will❑ws, cottonwaods, aouglas hawthome, elderberry, and red-stem dogwaad. CultiVated fields are Iocated north, west, and sauth of ihe lake (see Figure 8). The nvrthern and western lake edges and the area surrounding the abandoned meat packing building consist of amixture of weeds, grasses, and a few shrubs. These areas extend fram the c uEti►►ated #ield edges dQVVnsltipe tv belvw the lake's ardinary higYr water leuel. The anajarity of the Vegetation in this area consis#s of knapweed, an extremely undesirable weed that is dffficult ta controC. Varivus grasses, perennial fnrbes 'rncluding hirdock, mullen, mustard, and taadflax, and a few small scattered shrubs are alsv tound in this area. 5everal fir trees are Iocated narth of the existing Rice residence that are mvre thara 65 years old. Six deciduous trees are alsv Iacated wrest o# the abandoned meat packing tauilding. Varivus small rvdents and insects are supported by this vegetatiVe area, hnwever these areas are of relatively !aw Ualue d u e to the high amaunt of krrapweed relative to existing natural vegetation. The extensgve presence of knapweed in this area of the site can prabahly be attributed tu its past use for iratensive Cattie grazcng. The grassland areas of the sPte are lvcated along trie Saltese +Creek drainage and extend scauth of the creek into a seasonal flaod plain area. Th+ese areas consist mostly SPrelley Leke f?raf[ E15 41 Fe4ruary 1994 of higher value native grasses and sedges alvng the stream bed area. A smalfer grassland area is located asong th I e western shoreline of the snuthern extensian of the lake, and extends up a gentle slape tv the cultiuated field area.

An area of mostly native shrubs is located svuth and west of dhe southeasterly extension of the lake. This area cvnsists of native shrubs, perennial farbes, and grasses including buc kwheat, bfanketflowers, lupines, yarrovv, and serViceberry. fihis habitat pravides cvVer, breeding~, and feeding areas for small rodents, insects, and birds. i Three areas of riparian vegetativn are located near the lake"s eastern and svuthern edges. A small wetland area sxtends from the lakeshore nartheasterly intv the _ blufflpanderasa pine v+egetative cI omcnunity.

The third area of riparian vegetativn is Incated at the tip of the lake's smutherra extens3an, west of the s#ream entrance. The relatively flat slape and fine grain sail conditivns _ found here support a Variety of sedges, aItFiough they are fe►rv in numher. The riparianlwetland Vegetative areas suppart nesting and feedirag Qpportunities for a - Variety of 4irds, smaZl reaammals, an+d aquatic insects. Howe►►er, these areas are fa+rly _ limited in size and species diversity. The Washingtan State Department of Natural Resaurces was cantacted regarding - infvrrriation vn significant naturall features in the prvject area. A search of their data base did nat reVeal any records vf state endangered, threatened, vr sensitive plants or high quality native plant comrmunities and weilands. The fal9owing species of birds, a~imals, and fish ar eaid+ence of their presence were vbserved on-site during the course of this study: Ring-neck and cinnamon teat ducks, great blue heron, red ta if hawk, pheasant, quail. ffycatchers, killd eer, swallows, cobins, flickers, kestrels, ►rvren, chickadees, great horned owl, field mice, vvles, squirrels, marmots, turtles, skunks, large moUth bass, and perch. Because of ponr wate r quality and exteeme vvater le►rel fluctuativns, S hetley Lake does Shelley Lake Drafr EIS 42 February 1994 nvt support a significant fish population. There is a1se an vbvious lack of emergent marsh vegetativn arrd therefore n❑ habitat areas are available for nestirrg waterfowl. The lake does receiae use by migrant anci resident waterfvwl mvstly during the seasonal breeding periad. Other species that cvuld be assvciated with the area but were no't specifically identifie+d incfude coyvte, badger, ermine, weasel, mink, and' deer. Neighbarhaod sightings fln the ,prvject site and within the immediate vicinity inc1ude hawk, vwl, Oregon Junca and B1ack-capped chickadees, sparrows, rvbins, magpies, meadawfark, ring-necked pheasant, California quail, humminghards, wQOdpeckers, Wi[svn's warbler, evening gcosbeafc, rufQUS-sided tawhee, Canadian geese, squirrels, coyate, deerd marmot, ermine, suspected walVerine, nuthatch, rabbits, frogs, and turtles. The Washington 5tate Department of WiEdfife was contacte[i regarding infdrmation on signifiicant natural features, migration routes, and fish populations assQciated with Shelley Lake and the immediate vicinity. A review of the State's data base did nat resulfi in the identificativn of any species of concetn within a orae-mile radius o# the project site. Their recards of fisheries resaurces vn7y indicated the presence of yellvw perch within Shelley Lake. b. 5ignificant Impacts TPoe areas of the praject site propased for the development of harnes, streets, and assvciateci utilities are dacated where there are relati►refy flat sfopes which consist mainly of cu[tiwated fields. A soft pedestrian trail wi[f encircle the lake abave the Drdinary high water mark, and somewhat disrupt the grass and shrub natural habitat areas. De^velopment of these areas vrrill require the remawal of knapweed and some native plarrt species anrJ will likeiy encroach upan some of the habi#at areas used by wi[dlife. The lvss of wild9ife habitat resufting from consfiruction and deae9vpment of the s6te well be an unavQidable impact far svme of the existing wildlife that is unable tv successfully recocate. The cpnstruction of residences and rvadways will completely efiminate all agricultural practices ❑n-site. This will necess'state removai of the assac'rated fringe and stubbfe areas bordering the fields which prvvide cover, breeding, and feedirtg for a variety of birds, insects, and small rvdents. Construction of the saft pedestrian trail thraugh . grass and snrub habifiat areas will alsca impact these same types of wildiife. 5ite design has aIlawed far 37.3 acres of apen space (iracluding 21 acres of surface water) ta be Ieft undeveloped tn accommadate the existing wildEife. As the site develaps vver time, wildlife will be tarced ta move to open space areas or take alternate paths in areas where existing paths and habitat v+rill be removed. Vllildlife wif6 be expvsed tv agreater number of peopCe, their assoc6ated actiUaties, and resultant noises due to the influx of residents tv the a rea.

Mitigating Measures The propvsed develapment prQject wiEl designate 37.9 acres as permanent ❑pen ' space, which includes the lake (consisting af 21 acres) and surround9ng sFaoreline and riparian and wetland areas. This wiEE allvw i`ar the preserVation and enhancement ❑f ~ these sensitive areas and the surrou;nding environs by cantro1ling human contact and use. The pra},ect would coratrol and restrict large animal-leeeping, herbicidelpesticides, and fertilozer use in a reas wnere run=off could impact the lake an d wetlands. IVIvst vf ~ the undesirable knapv►►eed alang the lake's nart'h, west, and east sharelines wi11 be eliminated. Wetland and shoreline areas will be enhanced by plan#ings o# natiVe grasses and shrubs of high value tv wildli#e. The prapQSed deaelapment includes a saft pedes't►ian trail on the slope around the perimetsr of the lake. The trail wif6 be Iocated an a sfope wbthin a 50-favt buffer area established between the lake's vrdinary high water eieuatian (as estabfished by the Department af Ecolagy) and the indiVidual properCy baundaries near the t❑p of the sivpe. A bcoadcast spray (Rodeo) wull be used to contro6 knapweed in the areas where ~ it is most preValent. lt rnay take two to three years with seVeral applications per year to bring the knapvveed under cvntroi. This spray will also eliminate the small amaunt ❑t gcasses and forbes mixed in with the heavy areas ❑f kraapweed. In areas ❑f mostly native shrubs and fo rbes with lesser arraaunts of knapweed, the knapweed will be spot sprayed using Rvde❑ in ❑rder to retain the existirag high Value vegetation. Landscaping pEans within this area a~re formulated tv enhance hahitat for campatible wildtife species. The areas cleared af knapweed will be reseeded with Sheep fescue vr ,a msx of draught-tfllerant hardy grasses and forbs with high w91dlife habitat value. Grass mAxtures will als❑ inciude n'atide wildflovver sesds. Ilpproximately 20-taot irregularly-shaped clumps af natiVe or naturalized shrubs will be planted in these areas, - with erraphasis primarily away frorn the trai1 and otner areas suhject ta high human usefaccess.

The soil rtiay ncat retain envugh moisture throughout the summer due to its sandy and graVelly nature. However the diversity of species present may be increased by introducing drought tolerant speciss such as smvoth sumac, Russian olive, sand cFrerry, Tartarin haneysuckler and Rocky Mvuntain jun#per. These piantings will prnvide fovd, caver, and nesting areas fvr many species of birds, radents, and insects. Nest baxes placed in the vpen space cvrridor alang the lake's shvrelines wilE prvaide increased shelter and nesting vppvrtunities far caVity nesting birds. Cattails, sedges, rushes, and similar types of marshy emergent vegetatian may be planted in the wetland area at the lake's southern extensian, west ❑f the stream entrance. This will vccur nnly if the lake's water level can be cantrvlled and mairrtained and wide v+rater Ieve1 fluctuations are efiminated. If these types of plantings can be established, it wili provide nesting and breeding habitat far waterfowl where nane currently existsF Standing and fallen dead trees (snags) will be left undisturbed in the pnnderasa pine vegetative cammunity ❑n the blufif east of the lake. The snags provide caVities for co►►er and nestAng that are used by swallvws, flickers, kestrels, wrens, chickadees, and woadpeckers. Standing dead snags Iocated rrear the pedestrian trail may need #a be tapped aff and svme limbs remvr►ed for safety rsasons if it is deterrnined that they are a haaard. Minimum landscaping standards will be established in the restrictivs cvvenants for Shelley Lake to ensure timely kandscaping of disturbed areas. The cv►►enants will a4so stipulate that the lakes4de baundary of the residential IQts bardering the open space corrider su►rounding the fake be landscaped using natirre tow shrubs and grQUnd covers la,e. kirrnikinnicky rather than lawns and cultivated shrub beds. This will provide an apprvximately 10 to 12-foot transition rone between native and cultiVated plantirrgs and will Faelp to stabilize #he slape. Pesticide and fertilizer use would be restricted vn steeply slaped areas, limiting their direc# run-off and impact on the lake. The restriCtive covenants v►►ill cvntral damestic animals by requiring them ta be penned vr an Ieashes. Fencirag restrictians will be applied tv ensure cvntinuvus open space cvrr'rdors.

Past land use practices cnnsisted of mostly cattle grazing, agricultural prnduction and the singfe-family residence. The residence was part of the original 900 acre ' hamestead awned by the Shelley family. The current prmperty owners 4Ricey purchased the homesite and lake property En 1953 and cvnstructed the current structure araund what was just a shell. Additians to the hame were completed in 1959, 1963, and 1988. The Rice family afready owned the meat packing facility and feed lat and used the lakeshoxe propenty to raise cattle fDr their nr►eat packing business. The original meat packing building vuas canstructed in 1948, with additions in 1958 and 1960. The Rices irrigated the pasture land where #he cattle grazed vuith water supplied by an o n-site we ll. Cattls were removed fro m the praperty during the mid "I 970's and the pasture land was leased to various farmers for agricultural (hay) prvductiean.

Mvst areas in an Urban setting may raat haue a►►iew of natural areas, and vpen spaces wi11 mast likely cflnsist of park andlar school grounds. LQw-to-moderate IeVels of noise and air pallution wi11 most likely exist in Urban areas due tv the intensity of acti►►ities and the high volume of tra#fic generated. The more intensive land ;9J5e5 such as light industrial and neighborhood cammercial will be Ivcated near the heaviEy traveled streets, while the Neast intensive single-family residential uses ►n►ill be isalated from the nv9se ar~d hea~vy traffic. ~Multi-family s4ructuPes will usually be a transitivnal use lacated between single-tami4y residential and the more 'rntensive areas. C. Public Facilities and Ser►iices: Urban areas will have public water systems, sanitary sewer systems, storm SeWer SyStBfT1S, and titility s I ystems such as electrical, telephvne, gas, and cable services. Streets will be curbed and paVed. Street lights and sidewalks will be carnmon to residential, public, and cornmercial areas.

This alternatiue has also heen analyied with a phased build aut apprvach, with 58 units completed by 1995 (Phase 1) and the remaining 169 units completed by 2004 Shelley Leke ,prafr E15 72 Febre►ery 1994 I 4Phase 2f . As with the Proposed Actian aItemative, to the sauth there are three street termini at the plat aoundary; Rotc~ford Drive, Galway Street, and 5hamrack Sireet. It is anticipated that the ~]evelapm~nt Under Existing Zoning alternatiVe would connect to all three of these street terminwl. 0# these streets Rntch~fard prive would extend through the plat to tie direetly inta~ 4th AVenue at Cannery Road, as shvwn in Figure 4. The cvnnections and extensivns Qf Galway and Shamrack would remain public roads. Primary rngress and egress #ar this aRternative would be via Ratchford Qrive north directly to 4th Avenue. Fram tlnis intersectaon access wvuld be provided to the west to 5ullivan Fivad via 4th Avenue nr to the nvrth to Sprague Avenue via Conklin - Raad. Tfne third alternative analyaed is the No-Actian alternative, rrahich tatally precludes deVelopment vf the project site. Existing cnnditians and road cannections v►rauld remain on-going. During the scaping process and preparation of thi5 environmental impaCt 5taternent, severaf alternatives regarding site rvad design and access were identified, hriefly analyzed, arad rejected for incluisian in the propased preliminary plat. these alternatiVes included mu1tiple thrvugFa connections at the east, snuth, and nvrth site baundaries and termination of thelthraugh cvnnectinn narth to 5prague avenue via Canklin Etva+d foliowing construction af the future South Va11ey Arterial. These al'ternatiues, discussed in detail inl l11. Altemarives Considered and Eliminated, were founci to be incnnsistent with the goals of the propvsed plat, the adjoining neighbarhooct community, and the vverall area transpnnativn system's existing and fufiure optivns. The fvllawing is a sumrr3ary of the f uil traffic impact analysis p rvvided irr ►4ppendix E. For clarification and review of this dvcument, it shauld b€ noted that afl knawn existing developments, whether propased or currently under construction, haVe been identified and the assvciated traffic generated has been added to the existing traffic vaF'umes. Therefore in the analysis when backgrvund traffic uolumes ars discussed, - they are beFng discussed as if the planned and programmed SOO to 1000 additional Ivts have been devekopQd and are generating traffic. If these lots do not materializs, Ievels of serviCe could be appceciably better thara identified by this analysis. However this type af ans1ysis does present a"warst case" scenario and is cansistent with the _ scaping corraments receiued privr iQ initiating the analysis. b.I Prflposad Action Alternatiae Based upon the analysPs perfacmed for khis alternative, no direct specific irnpact which would degrade the Phase 1- 199 5 backgraund leuef af service of the surrr~unding StPeeL S'~IStBrNI Cafl be ~determined,~ with the exception of the 5prague Avenue and Conkliru Road intersectian during the PM pea'k haur. Hvwever, in conjunction with the expected growth IeVels associated with this Ivcatyon within Spnkane County, during the peak hour the SpraguelCanklira intersectian dnes not drap beipw the minimum acceptable LO5 of E far an unsignalized irrtersectimn wit'hin 5pokane CaGnty. Shelley Lake Uraft E1S 73 February 1994 6asect upon the analysis perfarmed for full build vut (2004), in the ►AM psak hour several in#ersectians drvp below the background levels of sen►'rce, and vne a# these intersections drops belvw the minirmum threshv#d as vudfined by S~okane County, During the AM p+eak hour, the t►►ruua intersect+ons which drnp belaw the background . levels of serr►ice are the 5ulliVanlSprague and the SpraguelConklin Enterseetiflns. The SultivanlS prague intersectio n, hawever, alsa falls belaw t'he minimu m acceptab Ce level ' of serVice far this intersectiora tsee ihe Traffic Impact Analysis in Appendix E1. Althnugh the change carries the intersection thraugh the Lda vf D1E threshold, seueral tinning rsvisions could be incvrparated to minimize ar negate the impacts. Even with • a drvp in the reuel of service, thcs intersection mairatairrs adequate capaccty to handle " trie vvlun^res generated by this praposed praject as well as the backgrvund grawth, hut the signaY timing and sxisting lane canfiguratians do nvt allvw the intersectian tv flperate at it's maximum patential. Based upon the analysis peefarmed, during the PM peak hvur only #he SpraguelCmnklin in#ersectian drops belaw the background lerrels of ser►ric+e. In additivn tv dropping helnw the background leVel a# serr►ice, it also draps bebw Spoka ne Cvunty's minimum acceptabie leuel vf service. ►44 this'Ivcatian the resultirag level af serrrice is arr LC]S af F, with a reserVe capacity nf -35. This is due tn the increase vf 64 additianal narthbtaund to vuestbaund left turns from Canklin or►to Sprague. b.2 Develapment Llnder Existing Zoning Alternatir►e Based upon the analysis perforrned for this aEte rnatiuer na direct specwfic impact whiCh would degrade the Phase I - 1995 background level vf service of the surrvunding street can be determined. The impacts af #ull build mut 420041 are similar tv those described fiar Phase 1, only the degree of se►rerity at 5ullivan Raad and 4th Avenue is compficated by land development furtFier south af 4th Avenue, and nat necessarily by the deVelapments alvng 4th Avenue. The turning valumes anto 4th from Sullivaat are significarrt and would ivrce this intersection to not anly meet several warrants far signalizativn by the year 2004, but would aIso eesutt in significant irrter5ection imprvWements such as left turn lanes and intersection signalization. b.3 Nv-►4ction Alternative Nv impacts to the future transpvrtation system vther than from background growth cQUld be attributed tv the project site. c. Mitigating Measures Patential mitigativn v►►as investigated by alternative fur thvse identified intersections and srterials affected by the proposed development af the Shelley Lake prajeCt. This investigation eva kuated by intersectio n the existing LO S, the future bac kgrou nd LOS, Shelley Leke Draft E!S 74 February 1994 ~ a . h and the future LOS with the project, wiih recvmmendations as follaw. c.7 Prvpvsed ACtsan Alternative SuJlivan Road and 5pragueAvenue -Based upvn #he existing, future backgrau nd, and future Phase 7as well as futuee Ph►ase 2 4build outf leveIs of service, this intersection will cantinue to operate tieyond the minimum acceptabie levets of service for a signalized €ntersectian as identifie'd by Spnkane Cvunty. ►At this time there is very litt#e mitigatian that could be recammdnded except that this project couMd participate in the deVelopment of the future duai left turns which will be required on bath of the narthbaund and southbaund legs vf the intersectron. Hvwever due to the locatiun of I his prvject, partici pation r►vvu ld only be limited to the percent traffie participation fvr #he svuthbvund (PM peak hour) dua` left turn lane. Sulfiuan Road and 4rh Avenue - ' Bassd upun existing, future background, and future Phase 1 as well as future Phase 2(build out) Ievels of service, this intersection will continue to aperate below the m€nimum threshvlds gf levei of sen►ice as identi#ied by 5pokane Cvunty. Hawever, th8 Pi'ppDS@d ACfion alternative specifically re-aligns the 4th AvenuelCorrklin Avad intersection to aRlvw through traffic, with a hame hased- work orientation, to access Sprague Avenrae rather than to allvw travel down 4th Avenue to Sullidan Road. Therefare, mitigation as prvpvsed by this alternative is to allaw fvr the realignment and recarrfigurativn af the 4th Avenue and Canklin Rvad fntersection. Sprague Avenue and Conklin Road - Based upan existing, future backgrflund, and fut+ure Phase 1 as well as future Phase 2(huild vut) IeVels of service, this intersection will cantinue to o perate within the rrainimum thres'hvlds vf Ieve l af se raice as identified by 5pokane Gounty. It is recagnIzed that af#er full buifd aut, this intersectiQn will be vperating with levels of serVice in the LOS hcE range. Part Q# the decreased leael of service at this interseCtivn has been in response to the paar Ievels af service and Fimited capacity avaiiable at the Sullivan Rvad and 4th Avenue intersectian. Due to the realignment vf the 4th and Cmnklin intersectivn, traffic wi11 be enCOUraged to use the Sprague and Cankfin intersectivn. This will be facilitsted by the ;rnprovement a# Conklirr Road to a 40-fovt sectivn with curbs and sidewalks on bvth sides frvm the intersection wcth 4th Rvenue narth to Sprague Avenus. At this time and with the future Isvel pf ser►►ice at an LOS vf EIF, ihe mitigativra at this intersection will involVe the installatamn of a tratfic signal s~ysteran. Additivnally, revisivns to the County Arterial Road Plarr will be pursusd to in,clude an intersection with Cvnklin Rvad arad the propQSed Svuth llalley Arterial, I requiring a hearing before #h+e Board af Gounty Cnmmissioners. If the 5auth Valley Arterial is cvnstructed east of Sullivarr Rvad and revisivn vf the Ceunty ►4rteria1 R~ad Plan is naf abtained to allnw this an#ersection, then patential rnitigatian could include formativn o# a Raad Improvement District (RIa) fpr canstructinn of a bridge vr underpass to bypass the South Valkey Arterial and allow thrnugh access to Sprague Avenue. Property along Canklin Road cauld be set aside in reserVe in the finaf plat as future acquisitivn area. This praperty may be acquired by SpQkane County at the tMme when bridge ar underpass constructivn improvements I Shelfey Leke Oraft EIS ' 75 February 1994 are mac#e ta Cvnklin Road. , Su1livan Road and 16th Avenue - Based upon exFSting, future backgrvund, and future Phase 1 as well as future Phase 2 (build out) le►►els of ser►rice, thfs intersection wilk cvntinue ta opexate vvithin the minimum threshalds of isvel of service as identi#ied by Spokane Cvunty. Therefore nrr patential mitigativn is recammended at this time. c.2 peve7opment l]nder fxisting Zoning A1ternatave . S+ullivan ►Rvad and S,prague Avenue - Based upon the existing, futvre hackgrvund, and future Phase 1 as well as #uture Phase a{bu ild out) Ie►►els of service, this intersectian _ will cantinue to vperate during the AM peak haur within the minimum acceptab4e Ievels of service for a signaiiaed intersectivn as identified by Spokane County. Quring the PM peak hvur, #or future background as well as future with the prvject, this intersection will aperate belorM the acceptable levels of service. It is expected that a!I tiehicles assaciated with the praject site wil4 be thraugh Vehicles at this inLersection. ln the event that Spokane County were to reaise this intersectian by pra►►fding add+tional thraugh Ianes, it ►►vould be recommended that this project participate ta the percent level of respansibility a5sncrated with the ualume of trips. Scrllivan RQad and 4ih AVenue -Based upan tYe+e existing, future backgrvund, and future Phase 1 as well as future Phase 2 (busld o ut) le►►e Is of service, this intersectivn will continue tv vperate helaw the minimum th resYtalds of levek of service as iden#ified by 5pvkane Cmunty. Plat configurativn fvr this alternative inclu[ies extending Ratchford Drive nortFr straight thrnugh ta 4th AVenue. Yhe analysis pravided split the traffic IeaVing the project site, based upon travel time and speed, and indicated that 4th Avenue ta Sullivan RQBd W❑UId be tF1B qUICkBSt Way #o reaCh Lhe SUIIIVdf1 and 5prague intersec#ion. Yhis is primarily due to a right turn at Suliivan and 4th versus a le#t turn at Conklin and Sprague. Recammended mitigativn for this alternatiVe would include plat recvrafiguratian, ta the paint of the Ivss of additionat 1ots, ta realign #he Gan3clin RvadlRatc'hford Drive and 4th Avenue intersectivn. Additionaf mitigatian beyond this would be the same as that recammended ahove at the 5prague Avenue and Cankl6n Road intersection frar the Prapased Action altererative Based upon the existirrg, future backgraund, and future Phase 1 as well as future Rhase 2 4build vuty leaels of serwice, the SpraguelCnnklin and Su11ivanJ'I Sth intersectivns ►rvtiil can#inue #o a,pera~e within #he minimum thresholds of level of serVEce as identi#ied by SpmVcane Courrty.

Shelley Cake flreft EIS 76 February 1994 i 2.2 Vehicuiar Treffic ~ a, Affected Enviironment ; Traffic vo1ums counts were taken in June arad July vf 1993 by Inland Pacific Engineering staff at all of #he identifiied intersectians. These existsng traffic cvunts are listed in Figure 11. , h. Significant Impacts Trip generation estimates were determined using the Insti#Ute of Traffic Engineers, Trip Generatian Marruat (TGJV1J, 5th ,Edr,'tian. The TGM pro►vides empirical data based upvn actual fielti ❑bservativns far trip generativn characteristies vf sirni3ac residentia1 deVelapments thrvughout the Unf'ted S#ates. The TGM provides trip generativn rates based upan the land use typ$, i.ei ' cvmmerGial, residentiaf, industry, schovl, etc. For the trip generatian ana1yses, Land lJse Cvde 210 - Single-Family f]etached and 220 -IVlultl-Family ►4ttached from the TGIIA were used ta determine botln the AM artd PM , peak hour trip generativn rates. , b.7 Proposed Activn 14lternativ,e T'rip generativn estimat+es were pr6pared far the maximumi poten#ial fDr this alternatiVe development of the Shelley Lake project, Based upan the existing zvning cnde for 5pvkane Caunty, approximately 2,64 single-family a nd 7 95 multi-famiiy u n its co uld be and are prQpased.

Gf the 43 AM peafc hour trips, 11 trips will be entering the site, r►vhile 32 will be exiting. Of the 59 PM peak hour trips, 38 trips will be entering the sits, while 21 will be exiting. ~ - At full duifd aut f20043, the prvpvsed praject will generate approxirnately 283 AM peak hour trips and 375 F'M peak hour trips. fihe an#icipated tvtal number of daify traQs which wi16 access this sits is expected to be appraximately 3,750 vpd, Of the tatal 2€33 AM peak hour #rips, 616 trips will be entering the site, wihife 217 wilf be exiting during the AM peak hour. [7f the 375 PM peak hour trips 246 will be entering the site, while 129 vvill be exiting, At Phas+e 1 completimn, during the AM peak hour thFs project does nnt degrade the level of servrce beyond the back~ground LQS for any of the identified intersectians. Ruring the PM peak hour this project will reduce the background level af service at the Sprague Avenue and Canklin Raa~ intersectivn. The speCific reductivn in LaS is from an LOS of C, 236 pcph to an L'PS of E, 88 pcph. Although this Ievel of ser►►ice Shelley Lake Drafi EIS 77 February 1994 r reduction seems excessive, it is only associated with a northbvund left turn vaiurne change frvm faur !eft turns wvithout the project to 20 left turns with Phase 9 af the . project. Based uppn the analysis per#ormed, no d irect specific impact which wvuld degrade the Phase 1- 1995 backgr8und IeVel of service of the surrounding street system can be . determined, with the exception of the Sprague Avenue and Conklin Rflad intersection during the PM peak hvur. Hv►►veuer, in conjunction with the expected grawth leueis associa#ed with this Incativn wi#hin Spokane Courrty, during the PM peak hour this intersectio n daes nat drop hetawthe minimum acceptable LC7S of E far an unsignaliaed intersectifln within SpQieane Caunty. At full buFld out (2004), during the AM peak hvur this project will reduce the levels of serr►ice beyvnd the backgraund levels af sen►ice at twa intersections. The first intersectinn is the unsignalixed Sprague Avenue and Cvnklin Rnad intersection, where the 2004 backgrvund LOS n# A(473 pcph) and the LDS with the prnject is anticipated to moVe the intersect+an to an LD5 a# D (145 pcph). Although significant in the fact that the overall reductivn is three levels af service from an LUS of A to an LOS of D, #his reductian in LDS is stili abmve the minimum aGceptable LOS as Fdentified by Spokane County. The second intersection to experience a reduction in LOS +s the 5uliivan Rvad and Sprague Avenue intersection, This intersection reduces #rom an LOS af a with an average delay of 36.0 secands to an LO'S of DIE with an average delay Qf 41.6 seconds. Aithough the L❑S a level is exceeded, ara increase af 5.6 seconds of tatal delay is arbitrary due to the svmewhat suhjecti►►e natur+e nf signalized intersectivn level of serVice calculativns. Usually the rule af thumb wauld state thai with mvre aggressiue signal timing, incvrporating sharter cycle lengths, and incvrparating more right tuFn vn red ar lefit turn permittedlprotected phasing, a ten to 25 percent reduction in delay can bs achieved. In arrler to maintain cantinuity between level of serdice calcukativris for review, these tirning revisions -were nvt incvrporated. Therefore, an average delay change from 36 to 41.6 secands cvuld be considered to be very little change, af any at all. Additivnally, the primary reasan far the increase in LOS is due to the oVerall increase in traffic Volumes at this intersection and the reductinn in green time far the eastbvund and westbaund directians given the larger thraugh vfllumes along Sultii+an Avenue. Therefvre, if there were mvre thraugh lanes available for thraugh traffic pragression ar narthbnund left turns, ihe or►erall intersectiQn level of serVice could be rnaintained within the acceptable limits of na less than an LOS of D. Althnug'h the c hange f rom an L9S vf ❑ 436.0 secandsy to an LQS af E{41.6 seconds) ca►ries #he intersectivn through the LOS of QIE threshald, several timing revisions could be incarparated to minimize ar negate the impacts. The real measure ❑f #his signalized intersectivn's capabilities to handl~ the added traffic voiumes is that the vlc ratio maves fram abackground vIc rati❑ af 0.78 to a wfc rati❑ of ❑.89 with the 5helley Lske 1]raft EI,S 78 Febre►ary 1994 1 ~ aIternatiue. There#flre, this intersection maintains adequate capacity ta handle ihe vvlumes generated by this proposed praject as weff as the background grawth, but the signal timing and existing Iane coniigurations do not allow the intersectiean tg Qperate st it's maximum pfltential. Quring the PM peak haur this project wi11 reduce the 5ullivan and Sprague and the Sprague and Canklin intersectivns belnw the Ievsls of service frorrm the backgrQUnd growth in traffic. As with the earlier +discussians, the IeVels of service reductions on 5prague Avenue are not reductions o n 5prague Avenue, rather they are the result of additianal tFarough Volumes an Sprague_Avenue and this #hrough irafi#ic's impact on the intersecting side streets. The impac# 'fo the intersecting side streets is usua!!y in either the northbvund vr soutFrhvund unsignalized Ieft turn. As indicated fnr Phase 1 cumpletivn, the increase irr bvth thraugh tca#fic on 5prague and an increass of 16 left turns reduced the resenre capacity hy 150 Vehicles. The same is true far Phase 2 compfetian, where the increase in nvrthbound ieft turns is from a pre-developed volume of #aur to a build vut volume of 68 left turns at the SpraguelCvnkiin in#ersection, It should be nvtetl that this vnlurne is approximately half that of the left tums in the AM peak haur. However, the hEgher eastbvu nd commuting volumes on Spra gue and ths Co nflict that they present farces this intersection ta an LO5 of F, with a reserve capacity a# -35. As noted earlier, this is due to the, inc rease of 64 additional nQrthbound ta westbound left turns from Conklin ❑nto Sprague. It shvuld be noted that the intersecxivn reserve capacity is being redueed by faur times the number of added left turns. This type of capacity reductian is indicatiVe of increased tfiraugh traffic Volumes vn the intersecting street, in tMis case Sprague Avenue. At the Su[iiVan Rvad and Sprague Avenue intersectian, the reductivn in levei of service created is twv fo[d. Fsrst, the 'increase in thraugh vvlumes due to cnnsiderahle hackgrnund grawth, comhined with an increase in left turn aolumes for access ta the proposed Fred lVleyer taciiity, have pushed this intersection beyond it's capaCity to serve the expected growth. By the year 2404, with a backgrvund IQVeI of service at an LdS of E 490.2 seconds3, the additivnal delay and level of ser►nce reduction to an LQ5 of F("I 17.7 secnnds) is the ribsult o# the sauthbaund to eastb+vund I+aft turn being beyond capacity with no additi~nal gceer~ time aWailable ta irr~prove this leyel of service. In the event that the Coun#y were tv Canstruct dua1 lefts at this interseGtivn as part of the Sullivan Road imprv►rement praject, L[3S at this intersectinn will increase to an LOS ❑f E with an aVera+ge delay of 55 seconds. b.2 Develapnnent lJnder Existing Zaning Alternative As with the Propased Action aIterraative, trip generatian estEmates weee prepared #vr the maximum patential for this slhternative. Based upan the existing zaning code for Spakane Gflunty, appraximately 225 single-famiiy uni#s could be prapvsed within the Shelley Lake project site. ' Shelley Lake Draft EIS 79 Februery 1994 This alternative will generate various volumes of traffic during construction of the severaA phases of development. At Phase 1completian, which includes 58 single- family residential horRnes, the prnject site witl generate appraximately 43 AM peak hour snd 57 PM peak hour trips. The anticipated tvtal number of vehFcles which will he generated trirvughout the day would be 570 vehicles per day (r►pd). Of the 43 AM peak hvur trips, 11 trips will be entering the site, while 32 will be ex6ting. C3f the 57 PM ,peak hour trips, 37 trips will he entering the site, while 20 wili be exiting. At full build out (2004), this alternative will genera#e apprvximately 166 ►cIM Peak haur trips and 228 PM peak hvur irips. The anticipated tatai number of daily trips wriich will access this site is expected ta he approximately 2,280 ypd. ❑f #he tatal 166 AM peak hvur trips, 44 #rips will be entering the site, while 122 will he exiting during the Allll peak hour. Df the 228 PM psa'k hour trips 748 will be entering the site, vvhile 80 witl be exiting. At Phase 1 comple#ion and #ulI bui[d out (2004), during hvth th$ Allll and PM peak hvurs this alternat<Ve will only affect ths reserve capacity of the Sullivan Rvad and 4th Avenue intersection. It will nat dsgrade the fevef of servzce heyvnd the backgraund LOS for any of the identified intersections, including the 5ullivan and 4th intersectian. Based upvn the analysis perfivrrried, no direct specific impact whic h wvuld degrade the Phase I- 7995 backgraund level of serVice of the surrounding street system can be determined. The anly significant chsnge concerns #he degres of impact and not the level of service. 7he AM peak hour reserve capacity of the Sullivan and 4#h intersection decreases from an Lf35 of F(-21 ) to an LO5 of F(-143). This signifies that due to increas+es of through traffic valumes alvng 5ullivan Road, any increase in traffic an the adjacent side streets will nrrticeably reduce the avaitable gaps tv a greatec degree #han the specific number of cars added. An example of this was discussed for the Proposed Action alternative, where 64 left turns were intraduced and the reser►►e capacity was redueed by a 4: "I ratia. l"he impacts at full b uild aut (2004) are similar tv those d escribed above for Phase 7, flnly the degree of severity is cQmpliGa#ed by dedelopment further svuth o# 4ih Avenue, and nvt necessarily by the deve#opments along 4th Avenue. However, the turning vnlumes ontv 4th frorn 5utfivan are sigrrificant and wauld force this intersectxvn to nat only meet seVeral v+uarrants for signalizativn by the year 2004, but would als❑ resutt in significant intersectivn irnprvVements such as Isft turn lanes and intersection signalizativn. b.3 No-Action Alternative Far this proJect alternative, there wil[ be nv additiona1 trips generated than currently are generated by the existing praject site. No impacts tn the future transportation system vther than from backgraund grQwth cvutd be attributed to the prvject site. 5helfey Lake f3rafr E1S 80 February 1994 I C. Mitigsting Measures Potential mitigation was investigaited by alternative fnr those identified intersectivns a##ected by the propvsed der►etvpment of the 5helfey Lake praject. This investigativn evaluated by intersectiQn the existi ng LO the fu#ure background LO S, and the future La5 with the prvject, with recomI mendations as fQlfow. c.'I Prapvsed Action Afternative 5ullivan Road and Sprague Avenc►re -Based upvn the existing, future hackgrourad, and future Phase 1 as welf as future Pliase 2(build out) ieVels of service, this intersectian will cnntinue tfl operate beyond the mirrimum accepfahle levels of service far a signaliaed intersection as identEfied by 5pokane County. At this time there is very fit#le mitiga#ian that cvuld he recvmmen+ded except that this prvject cou1d participate in the deaelopment of the future duaf left tvrns which will be requiced an bath v# the narthbound and sauthhvund iegs of the intecsection. However, due to the tocatian of this prvject, partici,patinn woutd alnky be limited ta the percent traffic part€cipation for the svuthbaund (PM peak hour) dual le#t tum lane. 5uflivan fioad and 4th Avenue - Based upon the existing, future backgrvund, and future Phase 7 as well as future Priase 2(build aut) levels o# serVfce, this intersectivn wilf con#inug ta operate below the minimum thresholds of level of service as identified by Spakane County. Fiowevec, thMS alterrrative specificalfy re-aligns the propvsed 4th Avenue and ConkEin Road intersectian to aIlaw thrQUgh ira#fic, with a hvme based- work orientation, to access 5prague Avenue rather than to allaw travel dvwn 4th Avenue tn 5uliivan Rvad.

Afifected Envirvnment Police protectiara far the project site is under the jurisdictivn of the Spvkane County Sheriff's Department. District No. 5 proVides service to the area extending from Sullivan Road vn the west t❑ the state line an the east and frDm the Spokane R dver ❑ra the north ta the hill tops on the south. District Na. 5 is bvrdered by C3istrict Na. fi nvrth of the river and Qistrict Na. 3 west of Sullivan Raad. There is one patrol car assigned to cvver each of these districts on a 24hour per ciay, 7-day per week basis. Shifts in rnanpower demands snrnetimes Ieave one of these distriGts unpatrvlled for short perivds of time, however patrol fl#ficers vften oVerlap district baundaries. E3ackup tu C]istrict No. 5 is provided by adjacent District Nos. 3 and fi. Respanse times to the area depend vn the type of call, the lacativn of the responding officer, his current actidity, anc3 the time of day. Currently there is nvt adequate pviice coverage #or the Cvunty as a whole. 7here are plans for expanded services including additional officers if more funding is made available tv the Department. A study was recent6y comple#ed by the 5heriff's 0epartment Cxime Prevention Unit concerning crime rate percentages per type of residentiaf neighbarhvod in Spvkane Caunty. The data used was frvm 200 6lack Watch neighbvrhoods tfiat were formed fram 1979 to 1981 and extended vver 13 years to the present. Study findings areas follvws: Qveralf Gounty average - 19%' C3n vr cvnnected to an arteria! - 19°ko Rental homes - 35% Five acre Ivts - 30% Cul-de-sac lots - 15% p. Significant Impacts The additian a# 459 neva residences and the related increase dn pvpulation wiil add to ths 5herif# flepar7tment's responsibility tv provide adequate police prvtecti+on to this area of the Cvunty. As pnpulativn in the area increases, sa does the number of crimes comrnitted and the mvre pevple there is requiring service. Prnject design includes the extensivn of Rotchford Drive north to a cvnnection with Cnnkiin Raad. This connec#ion would make Rotchford Drive a c❑Ilector arterial, impacting the existing neighborhvad on the cul-de-sac at the north end of Rotchfard Drive. According to the crime rate study cvmpleted by the $heriff's flepartrnent, the Shelley Lake Draft E15 85 February 1994 hames on the existing cu!-de-sac have the lawes# potential crime rate in the Cvunty. A change to an arterial roadway would put these hvmes in the 19% potential crime rate category, an increase of 4%. instead of being at alocativn with the lnvvest ceime rate, the rate at these hames would be equal t❑ the a►reral! Cvunty average. The Rotch#ord DrivelCvnklin Rvad cvnnectivn and resultant creation of an arterial may impact frant yard use in the existing cul-de-sac neighborhvod. The additivn of mare peaple to the area and their increased mvbility also wautd limit ths recagnitian of strangers. Development o# the area will resul# in short-term or limited site V+sits by cQnstruction warkers, real estate agents, or potential buyers. This will reduce the resident's ability to recngnize pvtential criminal behavior. C. Mi#4gat+ng Measures Many of the potential impacts that covld haVe been created through develo,pment ❑f the praject site have heen mitigated thraugh the pcaposed site design. Having a significani nurnber o# cul-de-sac streets and only twa access points inta the deVeiopment limits the pntential far burglaries and vther crimss because the perpetrator can easiiy be carnered by responding patrof af#icers. The pri►►ate community type of design propvs+ed, which includes perimeter berming and fencing, typicafly generates less calls than the grid type o# street design with multiple access paints. Residents of the develapment could farm Bivck Watches in their neighbvrhavds. Program infarmation and guidance tin fvrming a grvup is readily aVailable thrQUgh the Cvunty SFaeriff's Department, Widespread participatian in this prvgrarn can be very effectiVe en deterring vandalism, burglary, theft, and rohbery. Many of the residences that will be included in the propvsed develapment witl be upper-incame homes. The owners of these homes wili mast lFkely have the resources tn install individual security systems including alarms andlar security lights. The incraased property tax reaenues generated frorn the propnsed deVelapment will add ta sheriff, fire, and schaol district funds and may help ta upgrade manpvwer and equipment nesds. - 3.2 5chaals , a. Affected Envirvnment The project site lies within Central Valley Schao! District No. 358. 5chavls that serve the area include Adams Elementary, Greenacres Jr. High, and Central Vailey High School, Adams Elementary is located at Adams Raad and 8th Avenue, appraximately three-quarter miies west of the praject site. Greenacres Jr. High is Ivcated at Main Avenue arrd Tschirley Road, approximately one-hal# mile nartheast. Ceniral Valley High is adjacent ❑n the west o# the site. 5tudents wauld be bused to Adams Shelley Lake Draft E15 86 Februery 1994 Elernentary and possibly to Greenacres Jr. High, but would v►ralk tn Central VaIley High. Currently the District's twelve elementary schaols are nearing maximum capacity. l`he seVen juniar high schoals may approach capacity by next year, and there is still adeAuate space avaiiable at the two high schcaals. Current enrvllment and maximum capacities for the schools serving thts praject are as faflows: 5, SeHDO[ ;iNO. ENRDL[fL)~~~'• Jl►IAXIMUM CAi!"ACITV , Adams Elementary 490 541-551 Greenacres Jr. High 491 5$7 Central Valley High 1038 1400 Capacity levels #or each school are based on each grade being totally full. HaweVer frequently there is an unequal distributinn of students per grade IeVel resulting in a school reachirrg capacity in same grades, but nnt in vthers. Therefore even thaugh the abvve table indicates remaining capacity at adams Elementary, the school is nearing maximum enrollment capaci#y. Within the #welve elementary schvals in the District, 365 students are currentiy being bused outside of their home boundaries to eVen out the student per grade distri4ution. The seaen juniar high schools may reach this pornt in the fall vf 1993 and require student busing vut of Evergreen Jr. High. The District has plans tv cnnstruct a new elementary school at Liberty Lake arad add twelrre new classrooms tv the elementary scfioals throughout the systerr►. Attendance baundaries wauld then be adjusted to ease congestion. In additian four new classrovms are planned at the junior high level. Unlike other school districts, Central Valley dves not use many portable classrooms. Bvnd issues are the [3istrict's preenary svurce vf funds for capital cvnstructiun prQjects, including the constructivn of huiidings and buying portables. Constructivn vf the new school facilities p1anned is contingent upon the passage Qf a band issue. Previous bond issues failed in March and Navember of 1992 and in March af 1993. The ❑istrict plans to continue submission of a bond issue fn future elections. b. 5ignificant Impacts When fully built out the prapased develapment wi11 add approximately 932 new residents ta the Central Valiey 5chvvl District (2.35 residents per 264 single-family units a nd 1.60 residents per 135 mufit+-#ami9y units). Apprnximately 274 new sxudents would need tfl he accomrnodated by the school district, consisting vf 160 elementary, 90 junior high, and 24 senivr high students. These prajectians were generated using Shelley Lske Draft EIS 87 February 1994 i student generation factors per type of hvusing unit fram Ihe New PrWitioner's Guidg to Fiscal AnaIVis supp4ied by the ❑istrict. Since full build out of the deVelapment wili accur o►ver an eight ta ten year period, the District wauld not immediately need to accomrnadate afl 274 new studen#s. The inftvx of students wauld he gradua aver the entire cvnstruction perFOd. Approximately 50 dwelling units would be carnpfeted each year, and if the phasing schedule folPaws the de►►eiopment plans, there wauld be apprvxirnately 34 new students introduced into the district each year. . Adams Elementary is nearing its maximum capacity and Greenacres Jr. High has limited remaining capacity. These schvals wautd be impaGted by the additivn of new students frnrn this and other residential de►retvpments prappsed fnr tlne area. This may require additiona6 busing o# sltudents outside #heir home bvundaries, especially wi#hin the elementary schovls. Currently there is adequate capacity at Central ualley High to accvmrnndate the additiojnal students generated by the proposed project. The additivn of students tv this ar+~a may facilitate the need for additional schoof bus service, including the possibility of additional buses and routes andlar route revisions. c. Mitigating Nleasures I T+v accommadate ex3st+ng and future student enrallment generated by this and ather de►►elvpment prvposals 'rn the ar6a, the District needs tv cvmplete their existing expansivn plar~s. The prapvsed bond issue wvuld allvw fvr cvnstructivn of a new elernentary schoal serVing the Liberty Lake area and additimnal classroams at several elementary and junior high schvvls. The Uistract has alsv requested $hat the develaper negotiate a vvluntary agreerrrent ta mitigate the proposat's impact an public schools. This agreement may help ta fund fhe aistrict's carastruction, land acquisition, ar capital improvement expenditures, including the purchase of par#able classroams if necessary. 3.3 Parks and Recreativn a. JI4ffected Environment The Spakane County Parks Depwrtment aversees a tvtal of 23 parks, three golf courses, and nne vff-road vehicle ~ark. The majarEty of the County's Parks are located within #he urban portions of the Spokane Valley. Despite this fact, there are svhstantial deticits in neighborhvod and cammunity parks in the Valley subareas due to the high popufation leuels. According to the 7 98J Sookane Co untV Parks and Recreatian Plan, the praject site is located within the Esst VaIley S6burban Area. This area extends hasically fram Sullivan and Farker Roads an the west ta the Idah❑ state line an the east and frnm Foothilks AQad ❑n the nvrth to 32nd Avenue an the south. There are na neighborhood Shelley Lake arafr E15 88 Fetsruary 1994 Qr cammunity parks within the Eas# Valley Suhurban Area. 5ince the eastern border of the West Valley Suburban Area extends alang Sullivan Road just west of the project site, future residents of the prapvsed prvject may utilize parks in the West Va11ey Suburban Area. IPark facilities in hath these areas do nvt meet the needs of the existing population. There are #hree basic classificativns of park5 within the Spokane County park 5ystem; neighbvrhood, comrnunity, and regianal parks. A neighborhood park is intended ta serve residents vuithin a one-rnile radius where the majority of the users walk. ldeally they ar+e lvcated in the center of a neighborhood. Children between fiae and 12 years of age are the primary users. Desirable size is between three and ten acres, with two acres per 1,000 in populatian prv►►ided. A cvmmunity park serves more than one nsighborhvad and users frequently drive ❑r bicycle ta #hem. A minimum of ten acres is desirable ta serve residents within a two and one=half mile radius. The range of facilitie5 proVided is greater than fnr neighbvrhoad parks and may include swirnming povls, picnic shelters, tennis cvur#s. - soccer and basebafl fields, trails, restroams, and parking 1ots, ❑esirable size Fs 20 tv 50 acres, with 2.5 acres per 1,000 in papulation prvvided. Regivnal parks, within one haur's driving time, serve large geographical areas and are generaliy at least 100 acres in size. They are typicafly areas with outstanding natural features ar qualitiss assuciated with such features. Activities typically include picnicking, bvating, fishing, swimming, camping, and trail use. 7he twa parks c3osest to the praject site are SulliVan and Terrace View. Sullivan Park is lacated ❑n the north side of the 5p❑kane River at Sullivan Road, approximately one arrd ❑ne-quarter rniles narthwest of the praject site. This ten acre community type park has 1,400 fee# of shoreline an the river and has three shelters with 12 picnic tabfes. Additianal facilities include barbecues, drinking fauntains, restroams, play equipment, and hiking traiis. There is also a VNestern Square ❑ance Assaciation huilding and a Radia Cantrolled Car Club track and annauncer's bQdth. 7he Centennial TPaII foIIpM15 the river's sauthern shareline just svuth of Sullivan Park. There is potential fvr expansion to the west vn vacant, tree-coVered larad. Terrace View Park is lucated at 24th and Blake, apProximately one and one-Faalf miles svuthwest of the pzvject site. This nine acre neighbvrhvad park has 24 picnic tables, shelters, drinking iountains, restrovrras, play equipment, a saftball field, and a swimming pvol with a bafihhvuse. There is potential for expansivn of this park vn approximately eight acres ta the narth. Liberty Lake and MeadawWaod golf cvurses are both located off Valley Way and Mvlter Road in Liberty Lake, appraximately fiwe miies nvrtheast o# the projec# site. These County-awned courses are hvth 18 holes with driving ranges, cart rentafs, pro shaps, and clubhouses with restaurants. Painted HiHs golf cQUrse has 18 holes with a driving range and clubhouse with a restaurant. This ssmi-public cvurse is located Shelley Lake Drafr EIS 89 FBITPIIaP]I 1994 appraximately three mifes sQUthnest of the project site. Central Valley High Schaal, lacated adjacent Qn the west ta the project site, has a rnulti-purpvse gym and svccerlbasebaEt fields. The shared use of schvvl gyms and fields th rough cvvperatiae agreements could allaw far ex,panded recteational programs for adu4ts. The Centennial Trail extends frnm the Idaho bvrder through the Spokane Valley, the 5pakarne centrai business district, Riv+erside State Park, tv Nine Mile Falls Dam. The section lying between RiVerfronfi Park and the T. J. Mesnach Bridge is nvt yet co mpleted. The trail alsn extends 12 mries east fro m the stateline to Post Falls, Idahn. If funding is made ava ilable, the Trsil may sameday extend through Cveur d`Alene t❑ Worf Lodge Bay vn Lake Cveur d°A1ene. The traif is Ivcated apprvximately ons and one-quarter miles rrvrth of the prv;ect site, alang the south shore of the Spvkane River. The traii accvmmodates hicyclists, pedestrians, and the handicapped an right-af-way that is rnnstly separated fram matar traffic. Liberty Lake Regional Park is appraximate4y 2,975 acres in size and is Iocated ' approximately six and vne-half miles east of the praject site. It extends two full miles from the southeast lake shore ta Mica Peak's north slope and includes meadaw and pine farest areas, a sand beach, anc# a marsh bardering the share. Facilities include restraoms, drtnking fountains+ shekters, 70 picnic tables, barbecues, campsite areas, trailer haakups, a sr►vimming beach, observativn pier, and hiking and hvrse trails. Recommendations for the West VaIley Suburban Rrea include expanding Sullivan Park to the west, adding h+king and riding trails. Terrace View sFrnuld alsv expand thrDUgh the acquisition of approximately eight acres to the north. In the East Valley Suburban Area, stated recommendativns include acquiring Shelley Lake and developing tt for recreattonal use including a juvenile fashing facility. Qther reco mmendatiuns for the area include developing a tera-acre neighbvrhandlcvmmunity - park in the Carlson Hill area, a 7 5-acre neigfibvrhoodlcvmmunity park in svuthwest Otis Orchards, a 23-acre camrnunitylucban park in the vicinity of the Libertyr Lake 5ewer District, and acquiring Newman Lake f-rontage. - The County Parks Department currently does not have adequate financial resources aVailable fQr park Iand acquisition. in additivn, private land danativns to the Caunty park systern have slowed substantially due to a change in tax Iaws making this less #inancially attractive. b. Significarrt Impacts ~ The prapased prvject will add 459 new residences to an area that was previnusly undeveioped. These new residsnces wi11 impac# the Gvunty park system by increasing the demand far par'k space and facilifies at existing parks in the area. The majarity ShelJey Lake Draft F15 90 Febru$rY 1994 vf the impact would be on arganiied sparts facilities (half fields) in the ar+ea, since these faciiities are already heavily overtaxed. aevelapment ef the project site will preclude Shelley Lake's acquisition by the C+ounty Parks Department as recommended in the 1989 Plan. It wvuld not be dev+eioped for recreaxivnal use by the general public, but wauld provide recreationaf vppor#unities fpr residents af the PU[]. - c. Mitigating Measures 7he prapnsed praject includes the develapment af recreational apportunities for 5helley Lake residents that will partialiy rnitigate some af the impacts vn #he existing park system. This includes a saft pedestrian trail in the vpen space corridar surrpunding the lake. Trail use will include walking, jogglrlg, crass-country skiing, and birdlwildlife +obseruatiorr. 7he tzail will extend down to the lake in seVeral places to allav►► for shoreiine fishing andlor swimming access. Ice skating cauld be ppssible on same portions of the lake during the winter. Areas are designated within the plat for the future develvpment of picnic, beach, dack, and cnrnmunity center facilities if propased by the horneowner's association. A#uture community center cvuld be located within the existing meat packing building. A1l the existing wovden structures, window glass, and mechanicallefectricaf systetns will be removed and repairs rnade to the roof as necessary as part of the propnsed prvject. The center could pntentionally contain meeting areas and educatinnal materials cvncerning wildlife habitat enhancement and fisheries management pragrams. Oecisions cvncerning recreatianal uses of the apen space areas, w+itl be guRded and cantrvlfed by the restrictive cnuenants. These covenants, adapted by the 5helley Lake Hvmeowner's Association, vvill encourage recreational actiVi#ies that are cumpatable with vpen space preservation and enhancement goals and restrict those that are disruptiVe to the cnmmunity. The addition of houserrg units and therefvre an incceased tax base daes not necessarily result in increased puhiic park seruiGes for the commun+ty. Qther services cansidered mare vital to public health and welfare (i.e. law enforcement, public sewer, water, and rvads, etc.) receive a substantially Iarger proportion of available funding. If approved by the 8oard of Caunty Commissioners, deuelopers may be required to negotiate voluntary agreements to mitigate impacts on parks and recreation. The , praject prapvnent is required to sign a document agreeing to future mitigativn impased hy the Board of County Commissianers in order to get preliminary plat approval fram the Cauritty Planning Departmeni. A decisian by the Bvard of County Cammissioners concerning the amount and applicability af using impact fees for mitigation is expected near the end of the year. These funds cnuld be used to help mitigate impacts of the proposed deaelapment vn the County park system. Hovvever, established impact fees are nat expected to be significant enaugh to pravide fo r park land acquisitivn any tirrae in the near future, 5helley Lake Drafr EIS 91 Fetaruary 1994 i f ~ 3.4 Fire Prvtection ! s.

If a fire were to ocGUr in the southern partian af the site, the fastest resporrse frorrl this station wroruld be accessing the site firam the sauth ❑ff of 'i fith Avenue. tf na access to tFae site is pravided from the sauth, fire respvnse vehicles from $tatian Na. 7 wauld have to backtrack to the north and return south fram 4th Avenue. This wnuld add seVeral minutes to the response time to the site's sauthern portion. Praviding a sauthern access rou#e wvuld ttrerefore keep response times to a minimum. Uther vptions to a full pubiic riglht-af-way or privaCs raad to the svuthern portian of the site were explvred with Raul Chase, aiVision Chief vf Fire Preventian #ar pistrict No. 7. An emergency access raadway cauld be constructed and closed aff with an electriC gate. The Fire Departmen# cauld then open the gate using their Opticvm system, which is a pulsating strobe light that is used to turn traffic signafs green during emergency respanses. HvweVer, police and ambutances couId not use this access route because they do nat have access to the (3pticom system. Crash gates and roll-over berms with landscaping cvuld also be a means to pravide access fvr emergency vehicles only. The Fire Department wou#d nad encourage this type af limited access because of the damage it causes to fire engines ar+d ather emergency Vehicles.
