U. S. 2 Safety Coalition

Resolution 05-01

A RESOLUTION BY THE U. S. 2 SAFETY COALITION, EXPRESSING THEIR CONCERNS OVER SNOHOMISH COUNTY ORDINANCE NO. 05-101 AND AMENDMENTS THERETO WHICH PROVIDE FOR DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS FOR SITING AND PROCESSING APPLICATIONS FOR FULLY CONTAINED COMMUNITES (FCC) CONSISTENT WITH THE ADOPTED SNOHOMISH COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

WHEREAS all urban and rural Snohomish County residents have a stake in our precious but dwindling resource of roads and transportation infrastructure; and

WHEREAS the U. S. 2 Safety Coalition is concerned the ordinance and amendments do not adequately address the transportation impacts of an FCC on local and regional roadways necessary to serve an FCC; and

WHEREAS the U. S. 2 Safety Coalition is therefore concerned that an FCC located near the Urban Growth Areas of cities on the U. S. 2 corridor from the City of Snohomish through the Town of Index will have a devastating effect on U. S. 2 which will subsequently reduce the Level of Service (LOS) well below acceptable levels;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY the U. S. 2 Safety Coalition that it requests the Snohomish County Council thoroughly scrutinize Ordinance No. 05-101 and recommended revision to ensure levels of service are not compromised and all associated transportation impacts of an FCC are mitigated at both the local and regional level.

PASSED and APPROVED by the Board of Directors of the U. S. 2 Safety Coalition this 28^th day of November, 2005:

Vice-Chairman Donnetta Walser
