14. LOT SECURTfY (Everett School District) T7re commenror war concerned about � criminal acuvity at the site. Pazk and Ride Locs, and other lazge pazldng areas are geneially more prone to some criminal acavity. For this reason, sites in developed areas where there is ongoing acdvity are preferred over remotely located sites. In Stage 1, the bingo hall and other business acdvity is ezpected to minimize any security problems. In Stage 2, the site will be more acdve wi�� he largor number of commuters and vazied usage times. In addition, the propose� landscaping is designed to allow views into the site from adjacent roadwa�•; and limital views from the adjacent reside��tial areas. In addidon, the Security division of Community Transit regulazly patrols all pazk and ride lots in their junsdiction. This coverage supplements the normal circuladon of state and local authorides. Community Transit is actively involved in lot security and crime prevention at all park and ride sites. No effect on school children is ezpectai. 15. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT (Anne Stamm, Robert Betker) Commentors were concerned that adequate notice to the public was not given. • In addition to the public hearing, public involvement for this proposal included open houses in May 1989 and July of 1990.

The disposition of the existing tenant / owner lease artangement will be formally negodated after approval of the Right of Way Plans. . 18. COMMUDTITY DISRUPTION/ COMMUNITY VAI;UE (John Beadle, Chris DeL,eone, Dennis McLaughlin, Bucic Dendnger, Rick Issacson) The commentors stated that the bingo operation is of value to the community, as opposed to rhe FA srarement that rhe faciliry is nor valunble to eommuniry characrer. The EA statement did not imply that the bingo hall was not valuable to the community, only that it was not a determinant of the character of the communiry. Moving the bingo operaflon from its present locafion would not be a detriment to the city or the community.
