Re: Boundary Line Adjustment Application for Kathryn Dotson, Trustee
Dear Mr. Caddis:
The City has received your Boundary Line Adjustment for the Kathryn Dotson parcels, and is ready to proceed with the review.
I would like to bring to your attention, that although the Boundary Line Adjustment may be approved, it does not prevent the new parcels from review of the future residential subdivision
that has been discussed.
Section 197-11-060(5) states that the Lead agency shall determine the appropriate scope and level of detail of environmental review to coincide with decision-making processes. Section
197-11-060(5)(d)(ii) states that a phased review is not appropriate when it would divide a larger system into exempted fragments.
In other words, if the proposal consists of a series of actions that are individually exempt, but together may have a significant impact, the proposal is not exempt. In this project
review, the boundary line adjustment is an exempt action, however, the resulting development of all the parcels must be reviewed for cumulative impacts.
In regards to that review, the new smaller parcel would still be included in the environmental review of the subdivision process and the traffic impact analysis. Frontage improvements
and driveway accesses will be considered for all parcels, whether the boundary line adjustment is completed or not.
If you have any questions, please call me at (360) 458-8496
Sincerely,
Tami Merriman
Assistant Planner
