RE: SEPA Determinations for Showalter Middle School and Cascade
View Elementary School.
I appreciate you forwarding the SEPA determinations for the schools
which the City had not previously received. We received the two
Determinations of Nonsignificance's on October 19, 1994.
As discussed on the phone today, the School District, as lead
agency, has extended the comment period to November 2, 1994.
Because the City is not the lead agency but rather an agency of
jurisdiction, the City is required to be notified by the lead
agency upon SEPA determination.
I will forward the SEPA comments as soon as possible. Thank you
for your assistance in this matter.

DEVELOPMENT
RE: Cascade View Elementary and Showalter Middle School Traffic Impact Study
Dear Ron and Vernon:
I received a call from Ralph Rohwer with Heery International Inc. who is working for the
South Central School District on the remodel and additions to the above referenced schools.
He informed me that the staff from Tukwila Planning has stated in their review of the traffic
impact analysis that they have found the study to be incomplete.
I have reviewed my notes in our project file and found that, based on phone conversations with
you, existing and future parking demands during the day and the evening were of major
concern. Traffic flows were not identified as a potential problem. Therefore, the study
focused on existing parking and future parking increases which could result from the proposed
projects. Parking surveys were made, future trip increases identified, and parking impacts
identified based on input from the School District and our limited survey of on and off street
parking at these two locations. Showalter Middle School was estimated to have 108 additional
vehicular staff trips and Cascade View Elementary School did not anticipate any increase in
staff or student trips. Traffic level -of- service analyses were not made. School trips do not
coincide with peak trips. The reports were then submitted to the City.

There will be no displacement. The existing students and staff will remain at this school.
k. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce displacement impacts, if. any:
The new classroom space is needed to meet the current and projected enrollment for the district.
1. Proposed measures to ensure the proposal is compatible with existing and projected land
uses and plans, if any:
A school facility is allowed as a conditional use in the R Zone. Conditional use requires
special review to ensure that the proposed use is compatible with uses allowed in the same
.zone. The new school will allow additional classrooms to house the existing and projected
enrollment for Cascade View Elementary School. This will be a state -of -the -art school which
will allow the District to provide special programs that currently are unable to be housed in
the existing school facility. The site can be adequately served by utilities. There are provisions
for adequate parking, access and circulation. There will be a minimal increase in traffic and
noise as a result of the expansion. The new school will generally be compatible with the
existing buildings in height and exterior appearance. There should be minimal impacts to the
surrounding residential community.

f. How many vehicular trips per day would be generated by the completed project? If
known, indicate when peak volumes would occur.
The Traffic Impact Analysis was prepared by Perteet Engineering for the South Central School
District in June of 1994. It is anticipated that there will be a increase of 16 vehicular trips
per day to the school. There will be 54 trips per staff 108 trips per student drop -offs and
173 students bussed in.. The peak volumes occur at 7:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
Proposed measures to reduce or control transportation impacts, if any:
Reconfiguration of the existing driveway, additional driveways and parking and a new fire
lane. Separation of bus and car driveways will greatly enhance site access and safety.
