consumption per residential connection by 2% by 2022.

unanimously.
Mike Moro, Public Works Superintendent, gave some background on the Water System Comprehensive Plan

a reasonable goal to accomplish with new technology and user education.
City Council Minutes: 2 January 26, 2016
After some discussion by Council, staff was requested to review the City's current rate structure with the
possibility of changing from the more water used the less is charged to the more water used the more is
charged.
It was pointed out that the water use efficiency goal and the rate structure are different issues and will be
provided to Council separately.
ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
ORDINANCE -AMEND 18.20 -RESIDENTIAL ZONES -18T READING
An ordinance was presented which amends Chapter 18.20, Residential Zones, to bring it into compliance with
state law regarding the placement of manufactured homes. This amendment would allow manufactured
homes in all residential zones.
Gilbert Alvarado, Community Development Director, pointed out that in 2004 the legis lature passed a bill that
stated that cities could no longer distinguish between manufactured housing and traditional stick built housing.
Changes were made to the Single Family and Two Family Residential Zone and the Multi-Family Residential
Zone to allow manufactured homes but they were still proh ibited in the Single Family Residential Zone. In
2014 the City's was notified of the non-compliance by the City's insurance carrier. The City has until March
1 to become compliant with the state law.
There was some discussion concerning any requirements that should be placed on manufactured homes in
single family residential zones.
The ordinance amending Chapter 18.20 of the Moses Lake Municipal Code entitled "Residential Zones" was
read by title only. Staff was requested to include development standards for the manufactured homes in the
Single Family Residential Zone.
REQUEST TO CALL FOR BIDS -None
REFERRALS FROM COMMISSIONS -None
OTHER ITEMS FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
GRANT COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL -APPOINTMENT
The Grant County Economic Development Council requested a representative from the City Council to serve
on their board.
Action Taken: Mr. Curnel moved that Mr. Norman be appointed to the Grant County Economic Development
Council, seconded by Mrs. Liebrecht, and passed unanimously.

Aleksey and Maria Nakonechnyy requested permission to connect Lot 14, Block 2, Lincoln Plat, located at
9126 Space Street, to the City's water and sewer system without annexing the property to the City. The
property is within one half mile of the City's limits but it would be impractical to annex since there are additional
parcels and right-of-way between the lot and the City's limits.
Action Taken: Mr. Ecret moved that the request for City services be granted without requiring annexation but
with the stipulation that an Extra Territorial Utility Agreement be required, seconded by Mr. Norman, and
passed unanimously.

Fabian Pimentel, submitted a building permit application for Lot 35, lock 1, Lakeview Terrace #2, located at

City Council Minutes: 3 January 26, 2016
Gilbert Alvarado, Community Development Director, mentioned that property platted years ago was not
required to install municipal improvements that are now required with current plats. In order to rectify the
deficiencies, staff cannot issue a building permit for improvements on insufficiently platted property unless the
properties are brought into conformance with the current codes or the City Council grants a waiver, deferral,
or deviation from the requirements to install the deficient plat improvements. He mentioned that if the Council
approves a waiver, a covenant for the additional improvements would be required of the owner.
Action Taken: Mrs. Liebrecht moved that the request be granted with the stipulation that a covenant be
required for construction of the improvements in the future, seconded by Mr. Curnel, and passed unanimously.
PLATTING DEEMED INSUFFICIENT -721 IRONWOOD
Michael Fabian submitted a building permit application for Lot 4, North Terrace Addition #3, located at 721
Ironwood, which is a legally platted parcel, and requested a deferral of the required improvements.

BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION/CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF MOSES LAKE, WASHINGTON
IN THE MATTER OF THE LAKEVIEW PARK
MAJOR PLAT AND WAIVER REQUESTS
FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSIONS, AND
DECISION
1. HEARING BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
1.1 Date. A public hearing was held upon proper notice before the Commission on December
10, 2015.
1.2 Proponent. The Municipal Services Department of the City of Moses Lake is the proponent
of this plat.
1.3 Purpose. The proponent has submitted an application for a one-lot preliminary plat of 3.56
acres. Waivers were requested for all street and utility improvements. The site is the existing
Lakeview Park at 840 S. Clover Drive; Assessor Parcel #11-0333-000. The property is more
fully described on the face of the plat.
1.4 Evidence. The Commission considered the following materials in reaching its decision:
A. The plat application submitted 9-25-15.
B. Staff report dated 12-2-15, and attachments.
C. Testimony from Anne Henning, staff; and Wayne Ostler, staff representing the
proponent.
2. FINDINGS OF FACT BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
Based upon the evidence presented to it, the Commission makes the following findings of fact:
2.1 The proponent is the owner of the property legally described above located within City limits.
2.2 The site contains an existing developed City park and water reservoir. No additional
development is planned at this time. The site is very flat, from an elevation of 1178' at the
western boundary to 1180' near the eastern boundary. No portion of the site has been
classified as an environmentally sensitive area.
2.3 Clover Drive and Lark Avenue are classified as tertiary streets. Dahlia Drive is classified as
a residential street. All three streets are paved with curb, gutter, and sidewalk, however,
Clover Drive does not have curb or sidewalk on the east (non-project) side. Water mains in
Lark and Dahlia are 6" instead of the standard 8". Sewer main are lacking in Lark, Clover,
and a portion of Dahlia. However, all properties in the area are adequately served with water
and sewer, so no improvements are necessary, and there are no pedestrian destinations on
the east side of Clover Drive, so no sidewalk is needed.
2.4 The site is zoned Public, which corresponds to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use
Designation of Public Facilities. To the north of the park is Lakeview Elementary School. To
the east is a sound barrier wall and then SR-17. To the south and west is a residential
neighborhood zoned R-1, Single Family Residential.
2.5 The Development Engineering Manager provided a list of comments and corrections that
must be addressed before the final plat is submitted for review.
2.6 The Bureau of Reclamation commented on an error in the Township number in the title of
the plat. Since the project is within the Moses Lake Irrigation District and does not involve any
Columbia Basin Project facilities, they had no other comments at this time.
2.7 The East Columbia Basin Irrigation District commented that the plat is outside ECBID
boundaries and does not have any District facilities running through it. Therefore, they have
no comment.
2.8 The Grant County Assessor's office commented on an error in the Township number in the
title of the plat. They had no other comments.
2.9 The Stormwater Program Manager commented that this plat is within a sub-basin that drains
directly to the lake. Therefore, they look for opportunities to localize stormwater controls and
reduce the total amount of stormwater that reaches the lake. If streets were being
constructed or modified, they would ask for stormwater best management practices for the
right-of-way. However, since no street construction will be done, no stormwater
improvements are being requested.
2.10 A Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) was issued on November 24, 2015, under the
State Environmental Policy Act Rules (WAC 197-11).
2.11 The nearest intersections for which the Comprehensive Plan sets a specific transportation
level of service (LOS) are Pioneer/Wheeler/5th, Pioneer/Hill, and Pioneer Nelson, which are
set at D, C, and D, respectively. The LOS as of 2010 were C, B, and B. For the remaining
intersections, where the Comprehensive Plan does not set a specific LOS, the LOS is set at
D. Platting the property will not change the traffic generated by the site.
2.12 Comprehensive Plan Residential Policy 4.3 is that residential neighborhoods should provide
for appropriately-scaled schools, churches, home occupations , small-scale neighborhood
commercial uses, parks, opens spaces, day care facilities, and other appropriate uses.
2.13 Parks/Open Space Goal 11 is to preserve open spaces which contribute to community
character, protect resources and environmentally sensitive areas, and enhance recreational,
educational, and aesthetic opportunities.
2.14 Community Image and Design Policy 15.2 is for the area to continue to provide high quality
and attractive parks and recreational areas throughout the City.
2.15 General Capital Facilities Goal 1 is to provide public facilities and services in a manner th at
protects investment in existing facilities, maximizes the use of existing facilities, expands
facilities in a cost-efficient manner, and promotes orderly urban growth.
2.16 Capital Facilities-Parks and Recreation Goal 2 is for the City to provide an integrated system
of parks, recreation facilities, trails, greenbelts, and open space as community assets, both
in form and function.
3. CONCLUSIONS BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
From the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission makes the following conclusions:
3.1 The decision of the Planning Commission must be supported by the evidence presented and
must be consistent with the standards and criteria for review specified in state statutes and
city ordinances. The standards and criteria for review of preliminary plat applications are
found in Chapter 58.17 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW), Title 17 of the Moses
Lake Municipal Code (MLMC), and Title 20 MLMC.
3.2 The requirements of MLMC 20.09.020 are met:
1. Comprehensive Plan/Municipal Code: The development is consistent with
Comprehensive Plan goals and policies on parks, including parks in residential
areas, preserving open space, high quality parks, and capital facilities. If waivers are
granted for street and utility improvements, the development meets the requirements
and intent of Titles 17 and 18 of the Municipal Code.
2. Adequate provisions for necessary improvements:
improvements already exist.
The necessary
3. Impacts: No impacts have been identified under Chapters 14 through 19 that will not
be mitigated through existing regulations and conditions.
4. Public health, safety, welfare, and interest: The development is beneficial to the
public health, safety and welfare and is in the public interest because it plats and
formalizes existing City-owned property into a major plat in compliance with state law
and makes it suitable for further future development consistent with the intent of the
Public Zone.
5. Transportation Level of Service: Platting the property will not affect the traffic
generated by the site, therefore it will not affect the level of service of transportation
facilities.
6. Parks Level of Service: The development does not lower the level of service of
neighborhood park facilities below the minimum standards established in the
Comprehensive Plan because it will continue to be a park to serve the local area.
7. Dedications: All required street rights-of-way have previously been dedicated.
3.3 The waiver of street improvements, including sidewalks on the east side of Clover Drive is
justified since there are no other pedestrian facilities on that side of Clover Drive, and there
are no destinations for a pedestrian since the street abuts a sound wall next to SR-17.
Pedestrians on Clover would use the existing sidewalk on the west side of Clover.
3.4 The waiver of upsizing water mains is justified because the surrounding area is adequately
served by the existing 6" water mains, so there would be no benefit to the public or the
surrounding residents to requiring new water mains.
3.5 The waiver of installing sewer mains is justified because the surrounding area is adequately
served by the existing sewer mains, so there would be no benefit to the public or the
surrounding residents to requiring additional sewer mains.
4. DECISION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION. On the basis of the foregoing findings of fact and
conclusions, it is the decision of the Planning Commission of the City of Moses Lake that the request
for a preliminary major plat as submitted on the property designated above be approved with the
following conditions:
4.1 The comments of the Development Engineer shall be addressed before final plat submittal.
4.2. The requested waivers of street and utility improvements shall be granted.
Approved by the Planning Commission on January 14, 2016.

Set Date for Public Hearing -Amend 18.20, Residential Zones
Legislative History:
January 26, 2016
Consent/Set Date for Public Hearing
A public hearing to consider the proposed amendments to MLMC, 18.20, Residential Zones to
permit manufactured housing in all Residential Zones should be set. The public hearing is a follow-
up to the January 26th City Council meeting where the proposed amendments were discussed. The
Council gave staff direction with regards to drafting new development regulations that would
balance traditional stick-built construction with manufactured housing construction.
Background
Currently the City of Moses Lake prohibits manufactured housing in the R-1 Zone, which is no
longer permitted under the provisions of SB 6593 passed by the Washington State Legislature in
2004.
The city's insurance carrier, Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA), has also indicated that
compliance with the provisions of SB 6593 is mandated by State law. Compliance will need to occur
by March 1, 2016 in order to meet the requirements of our compact with WCIA.

Public Hearing -Ordinance Amend MLMC 18.40, Industrial Zone
Legislative History:
December 8, 2015
January 12, 2016
Public Hearing
A public hearing has been scheduled to consider the proposed amendments to MLMC, 18.40,
Industrial Zones to permit Surface Mining as a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed
amendment would not outright permit Surface Mining but rather the land use would be
reviewed in accordance with MLMC 18.51, Conditional and Unmentioned Uses for
appropriateness on a case by case basis.
Background
The City Council received a communication from Kevin Richards, Western Pacific Engineering on
behalf of the Port of Moses Lake which proposed an amendment to the Municipal Code to allow
Surface Mining as a permitted land use in the Heavy Industrial Zone. There was discussion by the
Council on the request and directed staff to bring back an Ordinance to allow Surface Mining as a
Conditional Use Permit.
Page 1of2
Fiscal and Policy Implications
The fiscal implications apply to the Port of Moses Lake and City of Moses Lake. The Port would
benefit from the revenues from the surface mining operation and the City of Moses Lake would
benefit from any sales tax generated.

I February 9, 2016
Motion
A public meeting must be held to provide an opportunity for consumers and the public to
participate and comment on proposed water use efficiency goals. The City Council should review
and consider all comments received from the public while evaluating the water use efficiency
goals. The Water Division has suggested the following goal for the Moses Lake Water System:
To continue to reduce the average annual consumption per residential connection by 2
percent by 2022.
Background
The Municipal Water Law requires municipal water suppliers to publicly establish water use
efficiency goals for their customers. The goals should run concurrently with the updates of the
system's Water System Plan and promote good stewardship of the State's water resources. Staff
is addressing the Department of Health's comments on our draft Water System Plan and the
water use efficiency goal is one of the final comments left before submitting the final product.
Fiscal and Policy Implications
The Department of Health requires the City's Water System Plan to be updated every six years
to meet the requirements of the City's water system permit.
Options

compliance and the operating permit will be
j downgraded.
I
Staff recommends the City Council adopts a water use efficiency goal based on staff's suggestion
and any public comments that are received.

MOTION
Cascade Park Day Use Restroom Arson
Legislative History: I February 9, 2016
I Motion
On October gth, 2015 the day use restroom at Cascade Park received extensive fire damage due
to arson. Staff is requesting direction from the City Council regarding which of the potential
options would be the best choice for the city to pursue to either repair or replace the damaged
building
Background
This is a highly used park with a campground, boat launch, soccer complex and multi-activity day
use area. While the campground has a restroom, it is a significant distance from the other park
amenities and our current policy prohibits entry into the campground by non-registered campers
(i.e. day users). WCIA reimbursed the city $67,610.54 (repair estimate minus depreciation and
deductible).
Page 1of3
Fiscal and Policy Implications
As the park restrooms are actually purchased and owned by the city's Sewer Division, this
purchase would not directly impact the general fund as their budget fund is a proprietary fund
which has adequate funds to pay to either repair or replace the structure. Council has previously
taken action and dedicated rental revenues from the cellular antennas mounted on city water
towers to purchase or construct restrooms from this proprietary fund. Kvamme Soccer Complex,
which is part of the day use area, is heavily utilized by the community for numerous soccer
tournaments, T-Ball programs, etc. Loss of use of the area for these programs could reduce the
financial impacts from out of town soccer tournament teams and registrations for existing
community recreation programs. Again, WCIA reimbursed the city $67,610.54 (repair estimate
minus depreciation and deductible) for this incident. Additionally, the new facility will be
connected to a city sewer main and existing septic tank and drain field will be abandoned as
required by City Code.

I
Staff recommends purchase and installation of a C><T pre-fabricated concrete restroom. We have
10 of these units already in use at a variety of locations and have found them to be very well
designed and constructed (fire-proof). They would likely have a usable life of at least double any
of the other options. Additionally, the funding mechanism for the cost of this project is already
active and in motion with annual revenues from cell antenna space on city properties. We see
arson attempts every year in one or more of our restrooms and this is the second time that we've
lost a stick-built restroom as a result of criminal activities.

ASSIGNMENT:
We received this assignment on 1017 /2015. We made contact with the .City, and General
Adjuster Keith Gorman completed his site inspection on 10/9/2015.
COVERAGE:
In reference to the Washington Cities Insurance Authority [WCIA] "Property Joint Protection
Program" and the Underwriter's Policy, we note the effective dates are December 1, 2014
to December 1, 2015. W.e understand the "Individual Member Deductible" is $5,000 with a
second coverage layer provided by the WCIA at a $750,000, per occurrence limit. Excess this
amount, the "Underwriters" provide a final layer that covers property loss to a $300,000,000
aggregate occurrence limit, for all combined members. All risk perils apply, subject to the
described exclusions. Replacement Cost Valuation [RCV] is in effect, subject to the Members

T1 -11 siding and a metal roof system. It was constructed in 1999, and was in good condition
at the time of the event.
OWNERSHIP/LEGAL INTEREST:
Ownership of this building rests with the City; no other ownership interests have been
identified.
CAUSE OF Loss:
We understand this fire event was reported to the City FD by a witness, who observed smoke
emanating from the Cascade Park "comfort station". The City fire department quickly
responded and successfully extinguished the fire.
Based upon the initial information received from the City, we understand the City FD
believes this to be an incendiary event. During our inspection, we noted a single point of
origin, located within the Woman's restroom. It would appear someone ignited the plastic
toilet seat protection dispenser, mounted above the toilet on north end of west partition
wall1. It is suspected a butane lighter was the source of ignition. 2 The burning plastic
dripped down, flowing behind the FRP3 wall panels. It ignited the wall framing and spread up
the wet-wall chase, and into the attic space, causing extensive damage to the roof truss
system. Fire, heat and smoke traveled through electrical and plumbing runs, affecting the
mechanical room and Men's restroom, before the fire was extinguished.
From information obtained from City personnel, we understand there were no witnesses who
might have observed a responsible party. We requested a copy of the City FD report; our
receipt is still pending.
Loss/DAMAGE INFORMATION:
BLDG/REAL: There was extensive fire and smoke damage sustained to the
roof system, requiring its complete replacement. The fire spread caused extensive damage
throughout the structure, requiring a complete interior gut to framing. Given the severity of
the damage, it was necessary to assess the damage from both a repair and replacement point
of view. We developed the enclosed repair and replacement estimates, in the amounts of
$88, 996.08 and $103,095.05 respectively. With the repair cost verified to be less than
replacement, it will be utilized as the basis of the City's claim. The estimate accounts for
the State prevailing wage requirement for Grant County.
Both estimates have been forwarded to the City for review. Rather than repair the building,
we understand the City will likely replace it with a modular concrete structure, at a
budgeted cost of approximately $200,000.

As exhibited in the repair estimate and our loss statement, applicable depreciation equates
to $16,385.544• Accounting for the City's deductible, we have derived a net ACV repair ·cost
of $67,610.54.
RECOVERY:
Presently, a responsible party has not been identified. Our receipt of the requested City Fire
Department report is pending; we will comment further if there are any avenues to pursue.
There are no salvage opportunities involved.

applicable laws and records in the public domain. All exhibits were admitted by stipulation of the
parties. At the commencement of the open record appeal hearing on January 6, 2016, the
parties stipulated to a consolidated record for the Appeals.
9. Timeline: A summary timeline of the key actions related to the processing of the MONS
and the Decision is set forth as information in Exhibit H-4.
10. Pre-Hearing Orders: Prior to commencing the open record appeal hearing, the
Planning Commission considered two Motions.
First, the Planning Commission considered the Appellants' Motion For Review of
Adopted Rules of Procedure and Objection and Request for Reconsideration and Revision of
Order, and denied that motion.
Second, the Planning Commission considered the Applicant's Motion in Limine to limit
the issues in the appeal to those issues raised in the comments to the MONS filed by Ms.
Anderson consistent with the Commission's Order on Pre-Hearing Motions dated December 22,
2015 ("Pre-Hearing Order"), and to limit the Appellants' expert testimony to Spencer
Montgomery, traffic planner with JUB Engineering. The City joined in the Applicant's Motion.
The Appellants filed no opposition to the Motion in Limine and represented to the Commission
that their sole witness would be Mr. Montgomery. The Commission deferred ruling on the
Motion in Limine to limit the issues until after the conclusion of the hearing, and granted the
Motion in Limine to limit the Appellants' expert testimony to Mr. Montgomery. The Planning
Commission proceeded without restriction on the issues as presented in the open record appeal
hearing and in the Appellants' Hearing Memorandum.
11. Issues:
a. Whether the City SEPA Responsible Official properly considered and evaluated the
WinCo Proposal when issuing the MONS?
1. In regard to this issue, the only elements of the environment addressed by the
Appellants at the hearing or in their briefing was whether the City SEPA Responsible Official
properly considered and evaluated the WinCo Proposal to determine if it caused significant
adverse impacts to the City's transportation system and/or bicycle and pedestrian safety?
b. Whether the City erred in determining that the WinCo Proposal was consistent with the
City's Comprehensive Plan?
Page 3 of 20
c. Whether the MONS must be overturned due to an erroneous date listed in the MONS for
the deadline for filing an appeal of the MONS, and due to a letter issued by the City Attorney to
four (4) parties filing a Notice of Appeal of the MONS.
111. FINDINGS OF FACT
The following Findings of Fact are based upon the Planning Commission's consideration
of the exhibits entered into the record, testimony presented at the open record appeal hearings
and the reasonable inferences therefrom. The Planning Commission reviewed the entire record
and testimony prior to entering the Findings of Fact. The references to exhibit numbers and
testimony below are intended to be of general assistance to the reader, and not a limitation on
the evidence considered when entering a specific Finding of Fact.
1. The Summary set forth above is incorporated as if fully set forth herein. Any Conclusion
of Law that is deemed a Finding of Fact is hereby adopted as such.
2. On July 28, 2015, WinCo submitted an application to amend the Big Bend Binding Site
Plan ("Initial Application") to the City Community Development Department ("Department"). See
Exhibit ("Ex.") 6. On July 30, 2015 the Department issued a Notice of Application for the Initial
Application. Ex. 10. On July 30, 2015, the Department reviewed the application and determined
that it was complete for processing on July 30, 2015. Ex. 9. On July 30, 2015, the Department
also sent a copy of the Initial Application to the Municipal Services Director, and other City
Departments. Ex. 11. On July 30, 2015 the City posted a link to Initial Application on the City
website. Ex. 12.
3. The Department received comments on the initial application. See Exhibits ("Exs. 'J 13-
15. One of the comments was from William Gould of Washington State Department of
Transportation ("WSDOT'). Ex. 14. City staff reviewed and considered all comments with
regard to the initial application.
4. The City met with the Applicant to review the revised application and determine a scope
of environmental review. See Testimony of A. Henning, G. Harer, and E. Johnston. City staff
provided information regarding preparation of a Traffic Memo or Traffic Impact Analysis ("TIA").
Ex. 17, and see Testimony of A. Henning, G. Harer, and E. Johnston. City required that a TIA
be prepared for this larger project. A TIA is a more detailed traffic analysis prepared in
accordance with recognized engineering and planning standards. The TIA was a requirement
of the City to supplement the submission of an Environmental Checklist as required by
ordinance and regulation.
5. On September 3, 2015 WinCo submitted a Revised Application with a SEPA Checklist to
the Department. See Exs. 16 and 21. Accompanying the Revised Application and SEPA
Checklist was a Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by SCJ Alliance, and signed by Traffic
Engineer, Eric Johnston, P.E. (the Traffic Impact Analysis is referred to herein as the "TIA").
Exs. 20 and 21.
6. Since the application was modified, City determined that it was appropriate to reinstitute
the notification and review process. The Revised Application was deemed complete for review
by the Department on September 4, 2015. See Ex. 23. A Revised Notice of Application was
circulated to municipal departments, agencies with jurisdiction, and made available to the public
in accordance with applicable ordinance requirements. See Exs. 24-30. Notice was specifically
circulated to Washington State Department of Ecology, Washington State Department of
Page 4 of 20
Transportation, Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, Grant County Health District
and Grant County Assessor's Office. See Exs. 28-31. All environmental ahd application file
documents were available for public inspection. The Revised Notice of Application allowed for
an extended comment period which ended on September 24, 2015.
7. On September 7, 2015 Win Co posted the Notice of the Revised Application at the
property at locations as required by City Code. See Ex. 32. On September 10, 2015 notice of
the Revised Application was published in the Columbia Basin Herald, as required by the City
Code. See Ex. 31.
8. On September 24, 2015, Donna Anderson submitted a letter in response to the Revised
Notice of Application ("Anderson Letter"). See Ex. 37. The Anderson Letter contained five (5)
comments on the Revised Application, SEPA Checklist and TIA. Ms. Henning testified that after
review and consideration of the Anderson Letter, that same day she sent a copy of that letter to
the Applicant's representative, SCJ Alliance. See Ex. 38. SCJ Alliance responded to the
Anderson Letter by letter dated September 25, 2015. See Ex 39. The Anderson Letter and SCJ
Alliance's response are further addressed below.
9. Gary Harer, City Municipal Services Director testified that he followed up with the
WSDOT comment and determined that WSDOT would not seek any contribution to the SR 17
interchange, and was not concerned with the WinCo proposal. Mr. Harer responded to Ms.
Henning's request for comments by memo. Ex. 40.
10. Approximately a month after issuing the Revised Notice of Application, Ms. Henning
completed her review of the SEPA checklist and the comments thereto. Exs. 41-43. Ms.
Henning testified that she made notes on the original SEPA checklist where she would typically
identify errors, or matters that required follow up. Ms. Henning's testimony indicates that there
were no material errors in the SEPA checklist. Ms. Henning received and considered follow-up
comments from the Applicant regarding the Anderson letter and from Mr. Harer regarding the
TIA. Ms. Henning also discussed transportation and mitigation issues with Mr. Harer. Ms.
Henning documented her evaluation of the WinCo proposal and her SEPA Threshold
Determination by issuing a SEPA MONS on October 2, 2015. See Ex. 44. On that same day,
pursuant to WAC 197-11-340(2)(d), Ms. Henning made the SEPA MONS available for public
review and delivered the SEPA MONS to the Department of Ecology. See Ex. 45-49. SEPA
Responsible Official testified that she personally called Donna Anderson and specifically
advised her of the environmental determination.
11. Pursuant to WAC 197-11-340 and 350, the City SEPA Responsible Official provided a
fourteen (14) day comment period on the MONS commencing on the date of issuance of the
SEPA MONS. See WAC 197-11-340(2)(d). The SEPA Comment period ended on October 16,
2015.
12. On October 16, 2015, the City received a letter that "serves as our appeal of the City's
'final determination of non-significance,' ... " dated October 15, 2015 from Duke Wood, Ann
Shults, Jennifer Valdez, and Donna Anderson ("Notice of Appeal-10/16/15"). See Ex. 50. Notice
of Appeal-10/16/15 attached the Anderson Letter "as to the factual basis for the appeal".
13. Other than the Notice of Appeal-10/16/15, no other comments on the MONS were
received by the City after the issuance of the MONS from any party, agency, entity, or individual.
Page 5 of 20
14. The City was required by the SEPA Rules, WAC 197-11-340(2)(a) not to take action on
the Application for fourteen (14) days from the date of issuance of the MONS. The date of
issuance of the MONS was October 2, 2015, thus the fourteen (14) day period prohibiting action
expired on October 16, 2015.
15. On October 29, 2015 the City Attorney sent individual letters to each of the four
individuals signing the October 15, 2015 Notice of Appeal (Duke Wood, Ann Shults, Jennifer
Valdez, and Donna Anderson) stating that their appeal was not ripe for review because the City
had not issued a decision on the underlying land use application. See the four (4) letters
comprising Ex. No. 52.
16. The City issued an administrative determination approving the Proposal by issuance of a
Notice of Decision on October 30, 2015 ("Notice of Decision"). See Ex. 53.
17. Prior to the issuance of the Notice of Decision the City received no other comments
regarding the MONS, and no party contacted the City SEPA Responsible Official or City
Attorney raising any questions or concerns regarding any procedural errors regarding the
issuance of the MONS nor did any party assert any prejudice or harm from the notice provided
in the MONS.
18. The Notice of Decision was issued and made available to the public in accordance with
applicable ordinance standards. In addition, the Notice of Decision was specifically mailed to
each of the parties filing the prior administrative appeal, i.e. Donna Anderson, Ann Shults,
Jennifer Valdez and D. Wood. Ex. 53.
19. The Notice of Decision included instructions on the appeal of the Notice of Decision and
the MDNS, including the timing for filing and the content of such appeals. Ex 53.
20. A Notice of Appeal was filed on November 13, 2015 by The Whipple Law Group, PLLC
filed an appeal on behalf of Donna Anderson and a group entitled "A Stronger Moses Lake"
("11/13/15 Notice of Appeal"). The appeal was filed on behalf of "A Stronger Moses Lake" and
signed by Peggy Vines. The Notice of Appeal challenges the following administrative
determinations. See Ex. 57:
a. The City's "approval decision of the Big Bend Binding Site Plan, 1st Amendment"
("WinCo/Big Bend BSP Approval") and, projected related; and
b. "SEPA review, Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance" ("MDNS"), October
2, 2015.
21. The open record appeal hearing on the appeal was conducted over the dates and times
provided in the Summary above.
22. At the hearing, the Appellants addressed only the three (3) issues identified in the
Summary above. No testimony was provided identifying members of A Stronger Moses Lake,
legal formation of the entity or any other aspect related to the purported association. There is
no factual basis establishing this legal entity, its members or interests in this proceeding. No
testimony was provided by association members or individual appellants. No evidence was
received with respect to purported adverse impacts as to the alleged notice or process
deficiencies. Appellants were not denied the opportunity to present member testimony and
evidence.

Analysis of Traffic Impacts
23. For new commercial projects the City requires a simple traffic memo or a more detailed
Traffic Impact Analysis ("TIA") to provide an analysis of traffic impacts of a proposal. In this case
the City required a TIA. Like many cities, the City requires that any TIA must be submitted by a
licensed engineer. See Testimony of Gary Harer and Eric Johnston.
24. Prior to the submission of the Revised Application and the TIA, the City and Applicant's
representatives discussed and determined the scope of the traffic analysis. City determined
that the study would evaluate PM peak hour conditions as well as analysis of four (4)
intersections and the proposed driveway sites. SEPA Responsible Official (Anne Henning) and
Municipal Services Director (Gary Harer) reviewed the proposal and determined the need and
scope of additional information. The City followed adopted policy and required the TIA to be
stamped by a licensed professional engineer.
25. Win Co had a TIA for the Proposal prepared and stamped by a licensed professional
engineer, Eric Johnston, P.E., with SCJ Alliance as required by the City. Mr. Johnston's
engineering practice specializes in traffic engineering. Mr. Johnston is an experienced and well
qualified traffic engineer and member of the Institute of Traffic Engineers ("ITE"). Among the
projects undertaken by Mr. Johnston and SCJ Alliance was preparation of detailed studies for
discount grocery stores and other commercial projects. In addition, Mr. Johnston provides traffic
engineering consulting services to a number of municipal governments. Mr. Johnston testified
that he participated in the development of the trip generation study for a Discount Retail Grocery
Store that was adopted by the ITE and included in their trip generation manual. See Ex. No. 20
for the TIA, and the testimony of E. Johnston.
26. The TIA included the following determinations:
(a) TIA included three (3) traffic volume scenarios:
(i) Existing 2015 Traffic Volume;
(ii) Projected 2016 background traffic volumes without the Moses Lake WinCo
Foods project; and
(iii) Projected 2016 traffic volumes with the Mo ses Lake WinCo Foods project.
Traffic projections were prepared in accordance with accepted engineering
standards and certified by a licensed engineer. Each of the identified
intersections functioned within accepted level of service ("LOS") standards during
PM peak hours. The sole exception is SR 17 EB Ramps/N Stratford Road which
drops to LOS E with or without the project. The LOS E is based on the
eastbound to northbound left turn movement within the intersection. The WinCo
Foods project does not contribute to this turning movement.
(b) TIA included collision reports for the identified intersections. The collision rates
were within a reasonable range for urban setting and did not suggest roadway
geometric deficiencies.
(c) TIA utilized a "pass-by" rate in accordance with standards established by the ITE
Trip Generation Handbook Third Edition. "Pass-by" rate was estimated to be twenty-
one percent (21 %) of existing traffic. Both City and Appellants' expert opined that the
Page 7 of 20
pass-by rate was conservative and a higher rate would have been justified for the
analysis.
27. Based on that direction from City staff regarding the scope of the TIA, the TIA was based
on a one (1) year horizon year with a two point five percent (2.5%) growth rate for four existing
intersections and projected trips for the WinCo curb connection at Central Dr. In addition to the
collision history analysis, the TIA included existing data counts from August, 2015 that was
determined to be one of the five highest traffic months of the year. The TIA modeled the
projected traffic considering new to the network trips (400 trips) and pass-by trips (1 06 trips) at
peak hour for a total peak hour projected trips of five hundred six (506) trips generated from the
WinCo proposal. The TIA then analyzed the addition of these trips to the City's transportation
network to ascertain whether the addition of the WinCo foods proposal would cause the existing
LOS to cause the studied intersections to operate at conditions below the LOS standard
established in the City's Comprehensive Plan. For the intersections studied in the TIA, the TIA
concluded that with the addition of WinCo no intersection studied would cause the
transportation LOS to fall below the standards established in the City's Comprehensive Plan.
28. On September 3, 2015, the City's SEPA Responsible Official, Anne Henning, routed the
TIA to the City's Municipal Services Director. Ex. 22. The Department's practice is to coordinate
environmental review regarding project transportation impacts between the SEPA Responsible
Official and the Municipal Services Director. Mr. Harer, a professional engineer who has
reviewed traffic impact analysis reports and the simpler traffic memos for the City for
approximately twenty-four (24) years reviewed the TIA. The memoranda requested review of
the TIA; advice regarding additional required traffic information; consideration and
recommendation with respect to traffic mitigation; and impact to the proposed project on
adopted transportation LOS. Ex. 22. Ms. Henning identified adopted LOS standards at
Comprehensive Plan Table TE-6 and TE-8 and noted that LOS for intersections not specifically
listed has been set at LOS D. Also noted was the adopted LOS standard for Valley & Stratford
LOS F.
29. Gary Harer testified that he reviewed the TIA in detail and analyzed the need for
additional information, potential for mitigation, and impact on adopted LOS. He also testified
that he and Anne Henning discussed the TIA before making final environmental determinations.
Mr. Harer also testified that he discussed the TIA with William Gould (WSDOT) prior to providing
his final comments to Ms. Henning. Discussions with Mr. Gould confirmed (i) the adequacy and
completeness of the TIA; (ii) absence of deterioration in accepted levels of service caused by
the project proposal; (iii) the adequate functioning of Stratford/Broadway intersection; and (iv)
the lack of any direct adverse impact on the transportation system which would support a "fair
share" economic contribution. See Testimony of G. Harer. This is confirmed by the fact that
WSDOT did not provide any comments in response to the SEPA MONS. WAC 197-11-545(2)
provides that where an agency does provided comments to a DNS or MONS the SEPA
Responsible Official may consider the agency as having no objections to the project. See WAC
197-11-545 (2).
30. Mr. Harer also testified that he considered queue lengths and impacts on public
roadways as well as a potential Stratford Road to Central connector. Mr. Harer concluded that
there was not a significant adverse impact on public roadways associated the Proposal and that
a connector road at Mart Intersection (Valley/Commercial) was not feasible or supportable nor
was it reasonable or supported by analysis.
Page 8 of 20
31. The Municipal Services Director advised the SEPA Responsible Official that the TIA was
complete and that no additional information was required for further analysis; the existing street
infrastructure is adequate for additional traffic; and the applicable LOS standards will not be
lowered as a result of the development. Each of these conclusions are reasonable and
supported by the testimony at the hearing. Ex. 40 and testimony of G. Harer.
32. The Appellants' only evidence presented supporting their claim that the City erred by not
requiring an Environmental Impact Statement ("EIS") based upon transportation impacts was a
letter review of the TIA prepared by Spencer Montgomery, a planner with the JUB Engineering
Group ("Montgomery Letter") (See Ex. No. 62), and the testimony of Mr. Montgomery
("Montgomery Testimony"). Mr. Montgomery is not a licensed traffic engineer. He is a
transportation planner and his report would not be compliant with adopted city traffic report
requirements nor would the City accept a TIA from Mr. Montgomery as he is not a licensed
engineer. Neither the Montgomery Letter nor the Montgomery Testimony provided an
independent analysis of the Win Co project compliant with City requirements. Mr. Montgomery
did not perform his own traffic impact analysis or any study of similar scope and depth to the
TIA, and he provided no evidence with which to challenge the data contained in the TIA or the
methodology or analysis used by Mr. Johnston .. Mr. Montgomery was unable to identify any
clear errors or mistakes in the TIA. Mr. Montgomery was unable to identify a single significant
adverse environmental traffic impact caused by the Proposal. His testimony offered only that in
his professional judgment he may have analyzed some questions addressed in the TIA
differently, but that the report was reasonable, consistent with industry standards, and his
difference of opinion was a matter of professional judgement.
33. Generally, the Appellants challenged the TIA approved by the City based on the City's
selected horizon year, the area of study or intersections studied, the Peak Hour Factor, the
consideration of queue lengths in the report, and the City's consideration of the Win Co project
on bicycle and pedestrian movements. See Ex. 62 and Montgomery Testimony.
34. As to the horizon year, the TIA used a one (1) year horizon year with a two point five
percent (2.5%) growth rate. The evidence in the record establishes that a one-year horizon year
is consistent with applicable professional and industry standards. See Exs. 63, 64, and
testimony of E. Johnston. Moreover, a five (5) year growth rate would be based on speculation
given the growth rates. Mr. Harer, the City's Municipal Services Director concurred in this
.analysis. Mr. Montgomery testified that he believed that a longer horizon year might be
appropriate, but also acknowledged that other jurisdictions only require a one (1) year horizon
year for this size of project, and that a one-year horizon year as used for the TIA is consistent
with the guidelines of the Institute of Traffic Engineers. See Montgomery Testimony.
35. The project is not an interdependent part of a larger proposal and no evidence was
presented that other projects are dependent on this proposal or will be developed in conjunction
with or as a result of this proposal.
36. The City of Moses Lake's Comprehensive Plan establishes the LOS for the designated
City controlled intersections. The City pursuant to the Growth Management Act adopted this
Comprehensive Plan. No party challenged the City's adoption of the LOS standards in its
comprehensive plan. Much of the Appellants argument, including the Montgomery Letter and
Montgomery Testimony dealt with the policy decisions of the City in its comprehensive plan. At
project level review, the City staff does not review those policy and regulatory decisions. While
the Appellants or Mr. Montgomery may make different policy choices, those questions are not
before the Commission on this appeal.
Page 9 of 20
37. The City has adopted an extensive transportation element as part of its Comprehensive
Plan. See Chapter 6 of the City' Comprehensive Plan. That plan provides for the evaluation of
projects by adopting level of service standards. Those levels of service standards are designed,
in part, with the object of emphasizing "transportation system performance as a whole rather
than focusing on individual locations. See Policy 5.1.A, Chapter 6, City Comprehensive Plan.
38. The project is consistent with Comprehensive Plan land use designation as general
commercial, and is consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The
project site and design also avoids strip commercial development consistent with City's
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Policy 7.3. Further, the WinCo project site is located
within existing commercial areas consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use
Element Policy 7.4. See Comprehensive Plan, pages 3-10. The proposal is infill development
consistent with scale and design of surrounding commercial areas. Comprehensive Plan Land
Use Element Goal 7 and Policies 1.1, 1.3, 1.5 and 1.5.
39. As to the geographic scope of the TIA, the four studied intersections and the site access
to Central Dr. were evaluated for the level of service with and without the Proposal as compared
to the existing designated LOS. City staff determined that study of the Stratford/Broadway
intersection was unnecessary because the project proposal would have insignificant impacts on
that intersection. Further, WSDOT has jurisdiction over SR 17 and access ramps as well as
Broadway Avenue. See Testimony of G. Harer. Mr. Montgomery speculated in his testimony
that there could be a possible impact to the Broadway/Stratford intersection. Broadway is a
state highway. Testimony confirmed that the project generated between sixty (60) PM peak hour
trips to the Broadway/Stratford intersection - 1 car per minute. However, the uncontroverted
testimony was also provided that the Broadway/Stratford intersection presently operated at LOS
C and no empirical or anecdotal evidence was presented that indicated a deficiency or adverse
condition at the intersection. Appellants argued that the Broadway/Stratford intersection had a
classification of an LOS D standard since a standard was not assigned in the Comprehensive
Plan. Uncontroverted testimony was provided that the Broadway/Stratford intersection would
operate at an LOS D or better with the Proposal. As a state highway, this intersection is not
required to meet concurrency requirements. Thus, the uncontroverted evidence is that the
Stratford/Broadway intersection will not be adversely impacted by the Proposal.
40. At the signalized intersections, there is an insignificant increase in delays at PM Peak
hour. The highest increase in delay during the PM Peak period with the WinCo project is 4.4
seconds at the W. Valley Dr.IN. Stratford Road intersection. A 4.4 second increase in delay is
insignificant. See Ex. 20, Table 6. The City did not err in issuing an MDNS effectively
determining that a 4.4 second delay is not a significant adverse impact on traffic operations
when the WinCo project also does not cause any intersection to fall below the applicable
concurrency level of service standards.
41. As to the Peak Hour Factor, Mr. Montgomery questioned the Peak Hour Factor (PHF)
and related methodology utilized by SCJ Alliance in the TIA. SCJ Alliance utilized a PHF of
0.95 based upon actual traffic counts and such factor and methodology was reasonable and
supported by empirical evidence referenced in the TIA. The Appellants provided no empirical
evidence to support a deviation from the adopted factor.
42. Mr. Montgomery suggested that the TIA did not include some appendixes that were
available to be reproduced in the software program used by SCJ Alliance to model future traffic
conditions limiting his review of the TIA to determine if the queue lengths were appropriately
Page 10 of 20
studied by SCJ Alliance. The Appellants argued that this indicated that the queuing lengths
were not appropriately studied in the environmental and traffic review. This contention is not
supported by the record. Mr. Johnston testified that the inclusion of the queue lengths appendix
in the final TIA was not consistent with professional practices. This was confirmed by Mr.
Montgomery. Mr. Montgomery also testified that the omission of this appendix did not mean
that the analysis was in error, and its conclusion was a matter of professional judgment. There
is no evidence that Mr. Montgomery contacted the City or SCJ Alliance requesting copies of the
desired appendix. The uncontroverted testimony is that the TIA and its appendixes were
prepared and submitted consistent with the Highway Capacity Manual and the appendixes that
are required to be submitted for a TIA Moreover, the uncontroverted testimony was that queue
lengths were in fact considered in preparing of the TIA but not included in the final report
because there was no adverse determination. Mr. Harer, the City's Municipal Services Director
also reviewed queue lengths and found that there was no adverse impact associated with such
conditions. It was also recognized that queue lengths on private property are not matters of
public consideration in the project review process. The omission of that appendix from the TIA
was not a mistake, nor clearly erroneous in terms of the City's review and evaluation of the
Proposal under SEPA.
43. The Proposal will contribute some traffic to the City's traffic system. However, just
because traffic is contributed to the system, does not mean that such traffic causes a significant
adverse environmental impact. The analysis of whether a project causes a significant impact is
focused on whether the contribution of traffic from the project causes the traffic system to fall
below the designated level of service at an intersection, or even in relation to a turning
movement within an intersection. This is consistent with the State Department of Ecology
guidance contained in the SEPA Handbook. See Ex. H-10. The traffic generated by the
Proposal will not cause any intersection or turning movement to fail nor will the traffic cause
queuing in a manner that would cause any intersection or turning movement to fall below
applicable operating standards established in the City's Comprehensive Plan or become unsafe.
Accordingly, although the store will contribute traffic to the transportation network, the traffic
contribution from the store will not cause a significant impact.
44. The TIA included analysis of existing and projected bicycle trips to and from the site.
Those trips were insignificant. Ex. 20, and Testimony of E. Johnston. The proposal is providing
on-site pedestrian circulation ways as required by City standards from the vehicle travel areas.
These will connect to existing public pedestrian ways, and potential future pedestrian ways off-
site. The design and alignment of the Win Co parking lot will provide safe bicycle travel on site
and will allow for connection to future bicycle paths or lanes should those be developed by the
City. Accordingly, the WinCo store will not cause or create any safety hazard to pedestrian or
bicycles based on their design consistent with City standards. Non-motorized transportation
methods of access are adequately provided consistent with the Comprehensive Plan -
Transportation Element, policy 4.1 . See Comprehensive Plan Map TE-5.
45. Appellants asserted that a "fair share" mitigation for transportation impact should have
been exacted from the Applicant. Appellants provided no substantive factua l evidence to
support a basis for imposition of mitigation. The record fails to establish any identified adverse
environmental impact associated with the project that would support a fair share mitigation. City
has not adopted an impact fee ordinance or established a Local Improvement District (LID) or
Transportation Benefit District for the subject area. No factual basis was established for the
imposition of monetary mitigation or other form of exaction.
46. The City's Comprehensive Plan requires that any development which would cause the
level of service to fall below adopted service standards for any identified corridor or intersection
Page 11 of 20
shall not be approved. See Policy 5.4 Chapter 6, City Comprehensive Plan. The City of Moses
Lake Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan has identified a group of intersections
to be used to measure concurrency within the City found at Table TE-6 in the City
Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element. See pages 6-29, City Comprehensive Plan
Transportation Element. Table TE-6 establishes the Level of Service Standard for Signalized
Corridors. See pages 6-29, City Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element. The evidence in
the record supports a finding that the Proposal would not cause the level of service to fall below
adopted service standards for any identified corridor or intersection. Accordingly, the City did
not err or make a mistake that the Proposal would not cause a significant adverse impact.
47. The SEPA responsible official conducted a thorough and complete review of the
application and environmental determinations. No adverse comments were received from either
municipal departments or agencies with jurisdiction. The sole negative comment was filed by
Donna Anderson on September 24, 2015. The adverse comments are not credible or
supported by evidence.
(a) No evidence was presented to support a request for a full biological assessment.
There were no identified priority species, critical/priority habitats, or critical areas within
the project area. WDFW registered no objections or comments with regard to the
environmental documentation.
(b) Pass by rates were conservative and within the range of reasonable eng ineering
judgment. Industry standard methodologies were followed in estimating primary and
non-primary traffic generation. The TIA gave consideration to the existing traffic flows on
N Stratford Road to ensure that an adequate supply of traffic was available to allow for
the twenty-one percent (21 %) pass-by rate (106 pass-by trip ends during the PM peak
hour). The predicted PM peak hour pass-by trips (106) represent approximately six point
five percent (6.5%) of the total PM peak hour traffic flow on Stratford Road (1,640) which
is well within reasonable levels. Appellants' expert confirmed that such rates were
reasonable and conservative. Mr. Harer, the City's Municipal Services Di rector also
testified that such rates were reasonable and conservative.
(c) The study area for the TIA was reasonable and consistent with empirical
evidence. Areas outside of the study intersections will experience minimal change in
traffic volumes. Moreover, the analysis was conducted for PM peak hour commute
volumes (between 4 and 6 PM) which represents the highest traffic volume period
throughout the day. School traffic has little impact on traffic during this time period.
Testimony also confirmed that traffic counts were taken during August 2015 - a month of
higher traffic levels. There was no basis for expansion of the study area around schools
and mobile home areas north of the project site. Uncontroverted testimony also
confirmed that there were not significant impacts on the intersection of
Stratford/Broadway.
( d) No evidence was presented with respect to adverse impacts on public services.
The proposed site is zoned C-2 General Commercial. In Chapter 18.30 of the City of
Moses Lake's municipal code, C-2 zoning is specifically noted as an "area for large scale
shopping centers and other uses oriented to vehicle traffic". The project site and design
avoids strip commercial development consistent with City's Comprehensive Plan Land
Use Element policy 7.3. Further, the WinCo project site is located within existing
commercial areas consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element
policy 7.4. See Comprehensive Plan, page 3-10. As such, the proposed use is a prime
example of what the zoning is intended for. Furthermore, the impacts to Capital
Page 12 of 20
Facilities, such as Police services, have been evaluated city-wide as part of Chapter 7 of
the City's Comprehensive Plan. Further, the City of Moses Lake Fire Department did
provide comments in response to the Notice of Application. Those comments indicated
that the proposed structure does not generate significant impact call volume, but an
increase in medicals calls may occur. The Fire Department did not indicate, and there is
no testimony in the record, that such an increase would be significant or have a
significant effect on the response times of the Fire Department or Emergency Medical
Personnel. The Fire Department did indicate that there would be requirements for fire
sprinklers and construction access requirements which are addressed during the
building permit review process. See Ex.34. These requirements were included in the
MONS further indicating that the City's SEPA Responsible Official considered the
potential environmental effects of the WinCo Proposal and imposed conditions on
potential significant adverse impacts. See Ex. 44-Condition Number 8.
(e) Appellants provided no evidence with respect to adverse impacts on competing
businesses and grocers. Moreover, such consideration is not permitted in the SEPA
review.
48. The MONS was issued following a full and complete review of the application,
Environmental Checklist, TIA, and comments. Appellants failed to identify any significant
adverse environmental impact that was not reviewed and evaluated during the environmental
review process.
49. The City evaluated and considered all reasonable and available information, and made
further inquiry seeking additional information to evaluate probable significant impacts caused by
the Proposal. The MONS was based upon information reasonably sufficient to determine the
environmental impact of the proposal.
50. The City SEPA Responsible Official did not make a mistake or otherwise error in issuing
the MONS and determining that the WinCo proposal did not cause a probable significant
adverse impact in relation to the off-site or on-site transportation and traffic system, nor does the
project cause a probable significant adverse impact to public safety on or off the site.
51. Much of the Appellants' argument were challenges to the policy decisions made when
adopting the City's Comprehensive Plan; challenges to the policies themselves, not whether the
project was consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. At project level review a City must
not second guess policy and regulatory decisions contained in the City's Comprehensive Plan,
and it cannot use that second guessing to be the basis of requiring an EIS.
Binding Site Plan Approval
52. The only Binding Site Plan approval criteria challenged by the Appellants was the
criterion concerning consistency with the Comprehensive Plan in regard to traffic and bicycle
and pedestrian transportation.
53. As addressed in the above findings the Proposal is consistent with the applicable City's
Comprehensive Plan policies. The Proposal does not cause the transportation network's
operation to fall below the applicable LOS standard set forth in the City's Com prehensive Plan.
The WinCo store will not cause or create any safety hazard to pedestrian or bicycles based on
Page 13 of 20
their design consistent with City standards. Non-motorized transportation methods of access are
adequately provided consistent with the Comprehensive Plan -Transportation Element, policy
4.1.
54. The City's decision to approve the Proposal is supported by substantial evidence, was
not clearly erroneous, and was consistent with law. The Proposal meets the criteria for approval
for a binding site plan amendment.
Procedural Error Claims
55. The SEPA review fulfilled all procedural requirements.
56. Appellants were not denied the opportunity to comment, nor was there a limitation
imposed on the nature of the Appellants' SEPA comments. Indeed, Donna Anderson was the
only party that submitted SEPA comments and filed an appeal of the Notice of Decision and
provided argument through legal counsel in briefing and at the open record hearing, but elected
not to testify. The other three (3) parties that filed the Notice of Appeal-10/16/2015 made no
effort to pursue that appeal, did not make any further contact with any City representative, nor
did they appear at the open record appeal hearing. These parties and Ms. Peggy Vines were ·
not harmed or prejudiced by any claimed procedural error.
IV. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
The following Conclusions of Law are based upon consideration of the exhibits admitted
herein and the evidence and testimony presented at the public hearings.
1. Any Finding of Fact that is deemed a Conclusion of Law is hereby adopted as such. All
Conclusions of Law set forth in the Summary are incorporated by reference herein.
2. The Planning Commission has jurisdiction over this appeal pursuant to MLMC
14.06.070, 17.18.080, and Title 20. The Code directs the Commission to give substantial weight
to Ms. Henning's SEPA decision. MLMC 14.06.070(C)(9). This is a deferential standard of
review, and Appellants bear the burden of proving that the decision is "clearly erroneous."
MLMC 14.06.070(C)(9); Brown v. Tacoma, 30 Wn.App 762, 637 P.2d 1005 (1981). Ms.
Henning's decision may be reversed only if the Commission, on review of the entire record, is
left with the definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been made. Moss v. Bellingham, 109
Wn. App. 6, 13, 31 P.3d 703 (2001). When a MONS is challenged, it must be shown that
environmental factors were considered in a manner sufficient to amount to prima facie
compliance with the procedural requirements of SEPA. Chuckanut Conservancy v. Department
of Natural Resources, 156 Wn. App. 274, 286 87, 232 P.3d 1154 (2010), quoting Juanita Bay
Valley Cmnty. Assoc. v. City of Kirkland, 9 Wn. App. 711, 718, 47 P.3d 137 (2002) (citation
omitted).
Once a prima facie showing is made that the SEPA Official considered the environmental
impacts of a proposal, it is the Appellants' burden to show that the DNS is flawed. See Juanita
Bay Valley Cmnty. Ass'n v. Kirkland, 9 Wn. App. 59, 74 510 P. 2d 1140 (2002). Here, the
evidence is overwhelming that the City's SEPA Official considered the environmental impacts of
the proposal. This is evident by the notes made by Ms. Henning on the SEPA Checklist, her
requirement that an additional traffic study be provided as a condition of development review,
and that after review of the TIA and the SEPA Checklist she required a supplemental response
to the TIA to address Ms. Anderson's comments on the TIA and SEPA Checklist. These facts,
as found above, are prima facie evidence that the City's SEPA Official considered the
Page 14 of 20
environmental effects of the Proposal. It is therefore the Appellants' burden of proof to establish
that the City erred. The Appellants have failed to meet their burden of proof.
3. While a project proposal may have environmental impacts, SEPA requires
consideration of only "significant adverse environmental impacts." A significant impact occurs
"whenever more than a moderate effect on the quality of the environment is a reasonable
probability." "Impacts" are defined as " ... the effects or consequences of actions." WAC 197-11-
752. SEPA does not require consideration of "every remote and speculative consequence of an
action." Appellants did not meet their burden of proof in establishing a violation of SEPA. The
City made its threshold determination based upon information reasonably sufficient to evaluate
the environmental impact of the Proposal. Testimony supported the review process and the
adequacy of environmental review. No adverse comments were received from agencies,
municipal departments or the public (with the exception of Donna Anderson).
4. WinCo's Proposal does not generate traffic sufficient to cause a significant adverse
impact on the City's transportation network based upon the adopted LOS standards contained
in the City's Comprehensive Plan policies, which are also the City's SEPA policies. See MLMC
14.06.070.4.a(1). There is no basis for requiring mitigation for non-significant traffic effects
arising from the WinCo Proposal. Moreover, there are no identified plans for future
development to properties adjacent to the proposed WinCo Foods site. Thus, there are no
probable traffic impacts from other projects to consider in terms of evaluating cumulative
impacts. It is not unusual for experts to disagree on the appropriate analytical approach to a
given assignment. Appellants have expressed frustration with existing congested conditions at
some of the intersections and Stratford Road and have raised some questions, but a SEPA
challenge requires more than an expression of concern or questions raised. It requires an
affirmative showing through objective, substantive evidence that additional mitigation is
required. The Appellants have not made that showing and thus have not demonstrated that Ms.
Henning's decision on traffic impacts is clearly erroneous. The Appellants have not shown that
the TIA should have been done any differently; they have not shown that the analysis used in
the TIA failed to meet industry standards or that it failed to present the City with a reasonably
thorough discussion of the significant aspects of the Proposal's probable transportation impacts.
The transportation impacts of the Proposal were disclosed, discussed and substantiated by
well-researched data and opinion.
5. The City complied with the procedural requirements in the City Code when issuing the
SEPA MONS and the Decision. The Revised Notice of Application met the notice requirements
contained in MLMC 20.07.01 O.A by listing the existing environmental documents and identifying
where persons could obtain additional information. Moreover, when the City issued the MONS,
a separate notice and comment period was provided specific to the MONS. Indeed, Ms.
Anderson resubmitted as comments to the MONS her prior comments filed in response to the
Notice of Application. Thus, the application comment period was not the only opportunity for
citizens to comment as would be the case under the optional SEPA -DNS process. See WAC
197-11-355. To the extent that any errors occurred with regard to the SEPA MONS or on the
processing and issuance of the Decision, such errors were harmless. There is no credible
evidence in the record that either the public or the Appellants were confused by any of the
notices. As a harmless error, under State Court decisions, the SEPA MONS would not be
overturned. The MONS was issued pursuant to WAC 197-1 1-340(2) and MLMC 14.06.030(E)
Pursuant to the City Code and the SEPA Rules (WAC 197-1 1 ), the SEPA MONS comment
period commences on the date of issuance of th e MONS, not the date of publication as argued
by the Appellants See WAC 197-11-340, incorporated into the City Code by MLMC
14. 06. 030.A, MLMC 20. 07. 01 O.A. The City complied with the City's requirements for the
Page 15 of 20
issuance of the SEPA MONS, as well as the notice requirements related to the Big Bend
Binding Site Plan Application.
6. Ms. Anderson timely filed comments to the SEPA MONS. See Ex. 51. Accordingly, to the
extent that the SEPA MONS contained an erroneous SEPA Appeal deadline, the erroneous
SEPA appeal date in the MONS is harmless error. Washington Courts have determined that
where a procedural error in the issuance of a DNS occurs, and that error is harmless, the DNS
would not be overturned. See Moss v. Bellingham, 109 Wn. App. 6, (2001), and Thornton Creek
Legal Defense Fund v. City of Seattle, 113 W. App 34, 54 (2002). All of the issues identified in
the Anderson Letter were considered by the City when issuing the MONS and the Notice of
Decision. Therefore, to the extent that the error of the date for appeal stated in the SEPA MONS
or the City Attorney's letter were in error, there is no harm or prejudice to Ms. Anderson or A
Stronger Moses Lake or any other party. Indeed, no other individuals or entity expressed any
harm or prejudice prior to or during the open record hearing arising from the notice of appeal
language in the MONS or as a result of the letter from the City Attorney. See Exs. 44 and 51.
Moreover, the failure of any party to make a comment to the City regard ing the MONS process
and the notice of appeal deadline expressed in the MONS prior to the Notice of Decision denied
the City the opportunity to remedy any errors through a withdrawal and re-issuance of the
MONS prior to the issuance of the Decision.
7. For purposes of a DNS, SEPA does not provide for consideration of economic impacts.
See SEAPC v. Cammack II Orchards, 49 Wn. App. 609, 615, 744 P.2d 1101 (1997); Concerned
Olympia Residents for Environment v. City of Olympia, 33 Wn. App. 677, 682, 657 P.2d 790
(1983). Therefore, Appellants' challenge to the MONS based upon the alleged the economic
impact to other commercial establishments has not only been waived by Appellants' failure to
address the issue during the hearing process but is also improper.
8. Appellants presented no evidence on several of their appeal issues: a) impacts on
wildlife and habitat; b) impacts on police and fire services; and c) economic impacts on existing
commercial establishments. Accordingly, those claims are waived.
9. Land use decisions contained in the City's Comprehensive Plan and development
regulations are not proper in the project level review. See Woods v. Kittitas County, 162 Wn.2d
597, 614, 174 P.3d 25, 34 (2007). "Project review ... shall be used to make individual project
decisions, not land use planning decisions ... the permitting process shall not be used as a
comprehensive planning process [and the] project review shall continue." RCW 36. lOA.470
(1); see also RCW 36. 708.030 (3).
10. The Appellants' sole challenge to the approval of the Big Bend Binding Site Plan is to
whether the City erred in determining that the Binding Site Plan Amendment application met
the applicable criteria and whether the Application is consistent with the City's Comprehensive
Plan. See MLMC 17.18.020.A.10. It is improper to use this project review process to
challenge the propriety of the various provisions of the Moses Lake Comprehensive Plan. As
addressed above, the Application is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The
approval of the Big Bend Binding Site Plan Amendment was and is supported by substantial
evidence, and is consistent with applicable laws as detailed above. The City did not err in
approving the Big Bend Binding Site Plan Amendment.
11 . The Planning Commission concludes as a matter of law that the City was not clearly
erroneous under the law when it issued the MONS or when it approved the Application. The
Page 16 of 20
City did not make a mistake under the law or facts when it issued the MDNS or when it issued
the Notice of Decision. The City had before it substantial evidence supporting its decisions to
issue the Notice of Decision at the time it made its decisions to issue the Approvals and City
staff conducted a thorough and comprehensive review of the evidence. Moreover, the evidence
of record before the Planning Commission fully supports the decision of the City to issue the
MONS and approve the BSP Application.
Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, the following is
entered:
V. DECISION AND RECOMMENDED DECISION
For the reasons set forth herein, the City of Moses Lake Planning Commission denies
the SEPA Appeal, and recommends that the appeal of the Big Bend Binding Site Plan
Amendment be denied.
