6 <br />1.B.8 Lead Agency. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement under Section <br />1.D.2, Lake Stevens will serve as the lead agency for purposes of SEPA on all projects within Lake <br />Stevens, including those adjacent to or crossing the Water Corridor. <br />1.B.9 Notice to Everett. Lake Stevens will provide Everett’s Water Corridor Contact <br />Person copies of the following so that Everett’s Water Corridor Contact Person has a reasonable <br />opportunity to review and comment: <br /> Proposed zoning or other land use changes affecting land within the Water <br />Corridor, <br /> Proposed franchise agreements to be granted by Lake Stevens within the <br />Water Corridor, and <br /> Wetland boundary assessments within the Water Corridor. <br />1.C Lake Stevens Infrastructure. <br />This Agreement, including Sections 1.B.3 to 1.B.6 above, applies to private and public <br />development, including projects and development by the City of Lake Stevens, such as road and <br />other projects. Section 1.B also applies to all such improvements by the City of Lake Stevens in <br />the Water Corridor. Everett and Lake Stevens may make project-specific agreements as detailed <br />below that supersede the requirements in Section 1.B. <br />1.C.1 Cooperation. Everett and Lake Stevens will meet as needed to discuss projects <br />that are in the early stages of planning. Lake Stevens and Everett will work collaboratively with <br />the Lake Stevens Sewer District, PUD water utility, PUD power, PSE, and all other local utilities <br />to plan utility development to minimize crossings of the Water Corridor. <br />1.C.2 Project-Specific Agreements. The parties acknowledge that it may be <br />advantageous for the Parties to enter into project-specific agreements for some City of Lake <br />Stevens’ projects or other local agencies. Project-specific agreements may include provisions <br />regarding completion of certain transmission line work (such as replacement of a segment of a <br />transmission line, for example). This could help avoid the potential for future Everett projects to <br />damage completed Lake Stevens improvements. Project-specific agreements would state how the <br />cost associated with transmission line work will be shared by Everett and Lake Stevens, with the <br />cost-share ratio determined on a project-by-project basis. With respect to Everett, the project- <br />specific agreement must be signed by Everett’s Mayor to be effective, but Everett City Council <br />approval will not be required. <br />1.C.3 Future Projects. The parties agree to work collaboratively during the 12 months <br />after the effective date of this Agreement to develop a plan and cost sharing agreement, in <br />coordination with Snohomish PUD, to transition all domestic / commercial water connections, <br />located on properties along 20th Street SE and adjacent to the Water Corridor, off of the Everett <br />transmission line and onto a new PUD service line. The parties will also work to identify sewer <br />infrastructure that will serve the properties near the Water Corridor with minimal crossings of the <br />Water Corridor in coordination with the Lake Stevens Sewer District. <br />1.C.4 Everett Plan Approval. Unless otherwise provided by a project-specific <br />agreement, Lake Stevens will provide construction plans for proposed public improvement <br />projects at no later than 30% design, and at other routine reviews (60 and 90% design), for Everett <br />review and comment. Lake Stevens will provide the final project plans and specifications for
