He further contended that the police and public safety criterion had not been adequately reviewed by the City, and the City erred by using statistics and information from the Applicant in making a determination that there would be no impact to police and public safety. He contended that based on information received from other police departments, including the Bremerton police, Seattle Police Officers, and other police agencies throughout the State, the proposed facility is prone to create public safety issues that must be considered. Mr. Slatten submitted that the impact to schools had not been adequately reviewed by the City and that the City should consider the "implications of flooding 28 juvenile offenders into the Everett Public Schools". He submitted that based on statements from school teachers in the Everett School District and other school districts throughout the State, the acclamation of these juvenile offenders into the public school systems is a severe impact to the schools. Mr. Slatten also contended that although there was no information on the impacts to social services, there definitely would be an impact, including need for drug, alcohol, and mental health facilities. He also contended that there are no jobs available for the juvenile offenders. Mr. Slatten submitted that there would be significant impact to traffic, pedestrian circulation, and public safety. He contended that the proposal will have an impact on the Snohomish Riverfront Bike and Pedestrian Trail because the trail goes near the proposed facility and will have a "chilling" effect on those using the trail. Further, he contended that the proposed facility is near the Everett Multi-modal Transportation Facility located at 36th and Smith and that the transportation facility will be impacted. Mr. Slatten contended that there will be impacts on neighborhoods and other adjacent uses. This will include potential deterioration of the site and the adverse impact on the efforts of the City of Everett to attract a branch campus of the University of Washington near the Snohomish Riverfront. 52. Mr. Slatten contended that in addition to EMC 19.41.150.C, the application must also satisfy EMC 19.41.150.D.2. Because the Review IIB Process, Subsection D must be satisfied. XIV.
