4. The rental rate of the State property along Casino Road to the south �, is too high at this time. 5. If Beverly Lane was vacated the residents to the north and the business to the east would be landlocked. 6. The possible additional traffic impact seems to be the only issue. 7. There should be some trade-offs between the City, State and Mr. Foss concerning the westerly property and the State property to the south. 8. There is another restaurant in the immediate area that was granted a parking variance. Mr. Foss then took the podium and had the following statements to make: 1. He had been leasing the State owned property along Casino Road for a number of years. 2. He is willing to go for a long-term lease with the �ity on the Casino Road property. 3. For several months he has dealt with different departments to review the project. 4. He has lost the sale of the property because of uncertainties, how- ever, his clients will lease from him. 5. He feels the SEPA Checklist is not necessary for his property because he is not adding to or changing the park�ng. I 6. He feels the burden is being placed on hlfm because of the demands for a fifteen (15) foot easement to the west. Mr. Lanriles then made his rebuttal and his comments were as follows: 1. Qne of the questions that needs to asked is, "Is the proposed use more intensive than the current use?". 2. Some concerns are: (A) Parking intensity, (B) What impact the proposed use will have on the area, (C) Phase I versus Phase 2 differences, and (D) How the project relates to long-term traffic flow. 3. There are some questions on left turns for automobiles from the Foss property to Casino Road. Perhaps ther�� will be a right turn lane only on to Casino Road. 4. The Southwest Everett Plan includes the westerly property being _t rezoned tc Commercial Use, so there is need for long range Planning. 1 -4-
