Paras This Voluntary Mitigation Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between Rosedale Development Company, Inc., c/o George J. Paras, its successors and assigns ("Developer"), a Washington corporation, having offices at 603 N Havana Street Spokane, WA 99202 , and the City of Spokane Valley ("City"), a municipal corporation of the State of Washington, hereinafter jointly referred to as "Parties": RECITALS 1. This Agreement is entered into by the Parties pursuant to RCW 82.02.020, to provide a financial contribution toward the 8`h Ave. / Carnahan Rd. Intersection Improvement project that mitigates increased traffic volumes generated by the development as proposed in the Developer's preliminary plats, PS-2103- 21 and PS-2106-22. 2. Developer is the owner/developer of certain real property generally located within an area located west and adjacent to Glenrose Road and south of 31" Avenue and north of 371 Avenue in unincorporated Spokane County (herein collectively referred to as "Property"). 3. The Property covers a total of 32.01 acres of land. 4. The Developer has requested approval of the preliminary plats identified as the Preliminary Plat of Glenrose and the Preliminary Plat of Glenrose I" Addition, a residential development (herein collectively referred to as the "Development"), which will increase traffic congestion and directly impact existing transportation infrastructure at the intersection identified located within the City. Voluntary mitigation of these impacts has been requested by the Developer as part of the approval process for the preliminary plat pursuant to the traffic analysis review. As part of this request, the following condition of approval was included in the Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance for the preliminary plats: CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY: Spokane Valley has determined that the project will contribute 52 PM peak hour trips to the intersection at 81h Avenue & Carnahan Road as provided in the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) for the Development, dated March 29, 2022. The City and applicant agree that the impacts from the Development contribute to and are a cause of necessary improvements at the intersection. The need for improvements is in part due to traffic generated by the project. As such, the City and applicant have agreed to a voluntary mitigation fee of $25,000 to be applied toward the development of a project design and cost estimate at the intersection. The voluntary mitigation fee is based on labor estimates compiled by the City of Spokane Valley. This mitigation fee shall be used for analysis, survey, and design. 2. Prior to any final plat, the applicant shall enter into a voluntary mitigation agreement with the City of Spokane Valley to make the contribution towards improvements at the intersection and shall pay the City the voluntary mitigation fee of $25,000. 5. The Parties intend to enter into an Agreement which provides for the voluntary payment of a proportionate share of improvements deemed necessary at the intersection of Carnahan Road at 8" Avenue, which are a direct result of traffic impacts associated with the Development. 6. The Parties have agreed that the proportionate share of improvements for the Glenrose Preliminary Plats shall be paid prior to approval of the final plat. 7. The Parties have agreed that the voluntary mitigation payment is reasonably necessary as a direct result of the proposed development. As identified in the TIA, the intersection is expected to reach a failing level of service by 2026 without the project. However, the development adds 52 trips during the PM peak hour, which accounts for 40% of the development's PM peak hour trips and would result in approximately 12 additional seconds of delay, which is a 24% increase. This signifies that the Development contributes volumes and further deteriorates a failing intersection. The Parties agree that the Developer should only pay what is reasonably necessary to mitigate its direct impact. Thus, the Parties agree that the Developer is to fund the initiation of a capital improvement project at the impacted intersection. The payment is proportional to the direct impact because it limits the development's contribution to the 30% design and preliminary engineering costs estimated by the City of Spokane Valley. This payment recognizes that the impact is significant at the intersection, but addresses only the extent of the impact from this specific development itself. 8. Pursuant to RCW 82.02.020, the City has the authority to allow a payment to mitigate a direct impact that has been identified as a consequence of a proposed development. The Parties (1) have identified transportation improvements necessitated by the planned development of the Property; and (2) have identified a reasonable relationship between impacts generated by the development of the Property to the transportation system and the Developer's financial contribution toward those impacts. 9. To mitigate the direct impacts of the development of the Property upon transportation facilities as identified in the TIA, the Parties are voluntarily entering into this Agreement pursuant to RCW 82.02.020. AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein, the Developer and the City hereto agree as follows: 1. Voluntary Agreement. This Agreement, including all attached documents, is a voluntary agreement pursuant to RCW 82.02.020.

In the event this Agreement is determined by a court to be invalid, the City shall refund the Developer the unexpended portion of the voluntary mitigation fees, and the City's obligations under this Agreement shall terminate. 2. Pr_ oiects. The Parties agree that the mitigation payment shall be expended on the development of the design and preliminary engineering for the 8th Ave. / Carnahan Road Intersection Improvement project.

The Spokane County Department of Building and Planning has determined this proposalwill not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is not required under RCW 43.21 C.030(2)(c). This decision was made after review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with the lead agency. This information is available to the public on request [x j This MDNS is issued under 197-11-340(2); the lead agency will not act on this proposal for 14 days from the date below. Comments and appeals must be submitted by June 7, 2022. This determination is based upon the following requested mitigation measures: Mitigating Measures: City of Spokane: 1. Provide a non -motorized connection to Chase Middle School as requested by the school district 2. Provide a gravel pedestrian pathway within the limits of the project boundary and within the access and utility easement (AFN 4912863) as was previously granted to the City of Spokane. This pathway would be gravel surfaced, at a minimum. It would be similar to as constructed within the Trickle Creek subdivision located south of the Glenrose proposal. The width of this gravel pathway would be 10' to 12'. As adjacent parcels develop the pathway may be connected to those plats and could be improved as a paved neighborhood pathway in the future. 3. Provide a street stub southward from 35"' Avenue (in parccel #35351.9127) to the north edge of undeveloped parcel #35351.9094, to facilitate street connectivity to 3r Avenue in the future. 4. Approximately 30% of project generated trips will enter the City of Spokane via 29'h Avenue and 3r Avenue. The City has several projects planned to mitigate traffic congestion at 371h/Ray, 37m/Freya and 29"'/Freya which are listed in the South District Impact Fee program. We request that the development be conditioned through SEPA to contribute towards these projects in a manner consistent with the City's transportation impact fee program. The SEPA mitigation shall be paid prior to final plat of each phase. Figure 6 in the traffic study shows that 36 PM peak trips will be added to 29�/Freya and 3r/Freya.
