Campbell's and StockPot wish to reiterate their concerns relating to the <br />environmental impacts of the Proposal, some of which were discussed in our November 6, 2008 <br />comment letter on the MDNS for the Proposal (the "MDNS Letter," submitted prior to the <br />withdrawal of MDNS "SEPA 08-042" for the Proposal). Further, we urge the City to include in <br />the SEIS a full analysis of these, and other, environmental impacts of the Proposal. <br />As noted in our MDNS Letter', the Proposal will affect the operations of StockPot's $80 million, <br />220,000 square foot state-of-the-art culinary campus located at 1200 Merrill Creek Pkwy, which <br />was developed with the expectation that the surrounding land would be developed pursuant to its <br />current industrial zoning. The Proposal contemplates changing large tracts of land from <br />industrial to residential and commercial uses, which is likely to have a number of significant <br />adverse impacts to elements of the environment listed in Washington Administrative Code <br />("WAC") 197-11-444. These impacts should be considered, and mitigated, under SEPA. <br />Scope of Review. The Determination of Significance issued by your office on March 25, 2009 <br />states that an SEIS will be prepared. It mentions "environmental reviews which have been <br />completed," and mentions what appear to be policy documents and approvals issued between <br />1 StockPot hereby incorporates its detailed comments in the MDNS Letter into this comment letter. <br />
