1. Expansion of Beds: The County has indicated that there inay be an additional 20 beds in the Jail facility. These beds would be designated for use by Federal inmates and would bring the total Jail bed capacity to 297. Parking facilities should be expanded to meet any increased demand, and any changes in the building envelope should be reviewed by the Planning Director. 2. ErvironmentalImpact: a. Earth: The site will require general regradiig Frior to construction. The site is relatively steep sloped (approximately 15%) and strict compliai.ce with the City's Drainage Ordinance should prevent serious erosion problems b. Air Quality: There will be temporary degradation of air quality during construction. C. Water: Storm water flow and quality will be controlled per the requirements of the City's Drainage Ordinance. d. Housing: Six existing homes will be demolished as part of the Jail site preparation. e. Energy: The facility will carry an estimated electrical demand of 1,000 kilowatts per year and will consume additional energy for heating, ventilation and air conditioning. f. Aesthetics: Due to the height of the proposed Jail structure, it will create a wall effect along Lombard Avenue. This massive structure should be screened by installing a substantial amount of vegetation along the Lombard Avenue and Wall Street frontages. The facade of the structure should be treated in a manner to provide some visual relief, and continuity with other structures in the County complex. g. Reuse of Existing Jail: The proposed uses within the existing Jail facility should be reviewed by the Transportation Division to determine if adequate off-street parking is available to meet the parking demand generated by these uses. The County must provide a sufficient amount of off-street parking to meet the requirements of the Zoning Code. h. Future Expansions: All future expansions of the Jail or Work Release facilities should comply with the SEPA review procedures, the City of Everett Special Property Use Permit process, and all pertinent Fire and Building Codes. 3. Public Necessitv: The new Jail and '.,ork Release facilities will relieve the over -crowded conditions in the existing Jail. The existing Jail has also been found to be substandard. The new Jail should also substantially reduce escape opportunities through both improved physical security and by arranging facilities so as to permit improved prisoner supervision. -4-
