220 OLYMPIC BLVD VOICESTREAM WIRELESS ANTENNA 2018-01-01 MF Import

C TO: Jim Driscoll, Hearing Examiner FROM: Faheem Siddiq, Senior Plannerlj�, �, DATE: August t 1, 2000 SUBJECT: Voice Stream Wireless/Masonic Center Revised Site Plan (SEPA #00-01 l ) (SPU #00-002) On May 9, 2000 you issued a decision approving a Special PropeRy Use Permit for development of an unmanned radio communications facility that includes a unicell antenna with three sectors mounted on a 75-foot high self-supporting flagpole. The flagpole will have radio transmitting equipment located on a concrete slab on grade. The property is located at 220 Olympic Boulevard, in a B-2 zone on a site which is owned by the Masonic Center. The site is currently developed as a mini-shopping center. The project consultant has submitted a letter dated August 4, 2000, to the Hearing Examiner requesting a modification of the approved site plan for the above referenced project. According to the letter, the current site configuration (including landscaping) as reflected on the approved site plan reduces the impervious surface azea for traffic flow between the east and south pazking lots, and also eliminates the use of several parking stalls in the south parking lot. The manager of the Everett Masonic Corporation has requested Voice Stream to move the entire facility further to the east toward Olympic Boulevard in order to improve traffic flow between the south and east parking lots and also preserve on-site parking. Reducing the easterly setback for the proposed communication facility will have a negligible impact on the surrounding land uses. More importantly, the project will still meet all of the underlying development standards for an above ground communications facility in a B-2 zone, except for building height. The approved site plan has a 120-foot setback from the flagpole to the east property line. The revised site plan has a 96-foot setback from the fla�pole to the east property line. There would be a commensurate increase of 24 feet from the flagpole to the west property line. All other building setbacks would remain unchanged per the approved site plan and the 75-foot height of the flagpole will also remain unchanged. I am therefore respectfully requesting that you issue an administrative order approving the revised site plan dated 8/2/2000 Cor the Voice Stream PCS facility at 220 Olympic Boulevard. Since there are no new SEPA or SPU conditions that would result from the approval of a revised site plan, I am assuming there is no need tu reopen the public hearing on a need for public notification with regard to this matter.
