Mumm Day Care Center SPU 6-89 Page -4- 12. The Everett Planning Department submitted that with conditions, the noise that emanates from this site will not be disruptive to surrounding properties. The property will be compatible with other uses in the area. 13. Pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act, a Declaration of Non-Significance (DNS) was issued for the proposed project on September 29, 1989. The impacts of noise, parking and traffic safety were considered in the environmental review. 14. One of the Applicants, Teresa Nelson, lives on-site. The City indicated that the use of the site is primarily for residential purposes and the child care operation is secondary to this use. 15. The use will not have a serious adverse effect on the ecology and/or environment of the community. 16. Day care is a growing problem within the City of Everett and Snohomish County. Because of the increased number of adults working, there is a public need for adequate and good child care services. In addition, the neighborhood, where the subject property is located, includes much new development and a need for licensed day care is apparent. 17. The Everett Planning Department recommended approval of the Special Property Use Permit as set forth in the staff report. 18. The following correspondence was received and was made part of the official record: A. Letter dated October 19, 1989, from Monica Fisher.
